Fanalyze This

It's been a while, but we're back!...and he's back! Mikey Vigg stops by the studio this week (we recorded like two weeks ago) to get back on the mic and dish some of his classic hot takes.  We start with Bum of the week, which leads to the ridiculous story of Nurse Ruzzo being in a delivery room. Then we recap Season 3 of Stranger Things before we finish it with the two fan questions of the night.  Please do yourself a favor.  If you listen to nothing else this episode, please listen to the part about the aliens (1:43:00). Fan Questions: 1. If you were to open a restaurant and name each dish after a current Yankee, who is what dish? - Zachary Snackery 2. If you brought home an alien from Area 51, whats the first thing you're doing with it? - Charlie M

This week, we introduce our newest member of the podcast, Mike Ruzzo. We open up talking about our favorite phones pre-iphone, and recapping Ruzzo's recent trip to Italy. Then, we get into our Bum Of The Week segment. The phone lines are now OPEN and we have our first two official call-in’s: Nick Congionti and Charles B Costello III Esq. We finish up by talking about our new favorite show...Double Shot At Love

This week, the crew opens the show with our Bum Of The Week choices. Then, we call friend of the show, Chris D'Angelo to get his spin on how to eat cereal.  We debate whether or not Porn Stars should be able to post nudes on Instagram, and then we get into the short-lived Fan Questions for the week. The question was: Would you rather have orgasms like a pig or a lion.  So we took to Youtube to find out, and you're not gonna wanna miss this commentary.

This week, we kick off the episode with our Bum of the Week (2:45 - 16:30) segment before we get into the heart of the episode...cereal.  We do an NCAA style bracket (16:31-53:57) for some of the most popular cereals and things get heated with the group.  We phone a friend and poll the audience in order to set the record straight.  Then, we get into the Fan Questions (53:58-1:12:31) before wrapping up the episode reviewing HBO's Chernobyl and the first half of Netflix "I Am Mother" (1:13:45-1:20:15).

Mike Francesa's show, and we go over one of his sound bites (49:10-53:26) that uncovers a lil' something we didn't know about Yankee great, Joe D.  We call Primo to find the whereabouts of a pocket pussy, and he asks the show's first live question (1:00:48-1:06:34).  Then, we finish the show by answering the rest of the fan questions (1:06:35-1:41:37) Fan Questions 1.  Is it wrong to bunt for a single during a perfect game?
