A Short Stack of Honchos!
Jun 5, 202202:01:35Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.The Honchos kicked off the summer schedule today with the first breakfast show of 2022. Your Breakfast Honchos served up a short stack of the usual hilarity and hi-jinks starting with some summer entertainment chatter. The Honchos chatted about Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, the new Top Gun Maverick movie, and the new episodes of Stranger Things and Obi-Wan. After paying tribute to the late Ray Liotta, it was time for the always exciting Who Wore It Best? Segment. This is episode 60, so the Honchos paid tribute to another famous 60, former Cleveland Browns quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Otto Graham. The Honchos finished the opening segment with another batch of headlines that included museum creepiness, death by septic tank, toilet paper usage by country, and a high-spirited debate on dog waste disposal. Yummy!The NCAA segment this morning was a referendum on NIL rights and the transfer portal by way of the continuing family feud between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban.The NHL/NBA/MLB was dominated with playoff talk again. The NHL is down to its final four and the NBA Finals are here. What a time to be a sports (and a Honchos) fan. The Honchos broke it all down as only they can. Before leaving the segment the Honchos tipped their caps to MLB, whose season is now rounding into shape as the calendar turns to June. New York has the best teams in both leagues, Joe Girardi is looking for a new job, and Tim Anderson and his White Sox teammates have overreacted to comments by the Yankees’ Josh Donaldson.No breakfast is complete without a nice slice of coffee cake, and nothing is sweeter than the coffee cake that is the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys. Follow everywhere @sportshonchos.

May 4, 202202:08:04Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.Big day in Honcholand friendos. It was the first show of May, it is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be with You), it is Teacher Appreciation Week, Mother’s Day is right around the corner. So much going on! Luckily for you, the Honchos were bringing their best May flowers tonight. The evening began with some serious nerding out about Star Wars movies and merchandise in honor of May the Fourth and then got down to serious business with the always exciting Who Wore It Best? Segment. This is episode 59, so they paid tribute to another famous 59, former Chicago Bears linebacker, and current Commanderskins head coach, Ron Rivera. The Honchos finished the opening segment with another batch of headlines that included government-sponsored massages, reasons to avoid the subway, and a special tribute to teachers in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.The NFL Recap was largely an NFL Draft recap with a more in-depth review of the WooFTskins 2022 rookie class. Oh, and DeAndre Hopkins of the Cardinals got popped for PEDs and Ryan Tannehill is a diva. Go figure. The NHL/NBA/MLB was dominated with playoff talk. There is nothing more exciting than round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Honchos were here for all of it with a thorough review. The NBA playoffs have moved into round two so the Honchos gave the NBA some love as well. The Honchos closed the segment with some MLB talk that included a look at the season after one month and whether robot umps should be a thing in MLB after the Kyle Schwarber-Angel Hernandez duke-a-roo. After all of that activity the Honchos brought the show home gently as they always do with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Rick Garboski, PGA club professional.

Transcribe →Honchos Showers Bring May Flowers!
Apr 27, 202202:11:15Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert KuneyThe Honchos returned after taking a well-deserved Spring Break vacation. The Honchos recounted their vacations and then skewed really old with some chatter about the Monkees and Carole King before transitioning to Who Wore It Best? This is episode 58, so we paid tribute to another famous 58, former Red Sox, Phillies, and Nationals relief pitcher Jonathan Papelbon. The Honchos finished the opening segment with another batch of headlines that included cats as weapons, bad neighbors, and Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter (he just outbid Paul for the little blue bird).The NFL Recap focused on the upcoming NFL Draft and how it is Christmas in April for Rob. The conversation focused on what teams look for in the draft, best player available or need, and why the so-called experts focus so much on Combine measurables and ignore how they perform at game speed. The Honchos checked in on the USFL as well and whether this will be the Spring league to survive. SPOILER ALERT! It will not.The NHL/NBA/MLB segment opened with a salute to two NHL legends the world lost recently, Mike Bossy and Guy Lafleur, and the dynasties they represented. The Honchos also wound down the NHL regular season before moving on to the NBA. It was all Brooklyn Nets talk in the NBA portion because for a team that was swept out of the playoffs they seem to be the number one story in basketball. A very brief look at the MLB focused on Miguel Cabrera’s 3,000th hit and the exclusive club that he has joined and the San Diego Padres opening the door for advertising on the uniforms. The Honchos may have had some jet lag after two weeks off, but there was enough energy to end like they always do with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Rob Manfred, the alleged commissioner of Major League Baseball. Follow everywhere @sportshonchos.

Apr 6, 202202:11:48Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.Happy April everybody! New month, new showgram. As Spring Break approaches for the Honchos, the guys talked about their Spring Break plans, toilet habits, and Paul’s new Bryan Adams tribute band. That was merely the warm-up for the everyone’s favorite new segment, Who Wore It Best? This is episode 57, so we paid tribute to another famous 57, former Twins and Mets pitcher Johan Santana. The Honchos finished the opening segment with a rousing Headlines segment featuring Australian vasectomy trends, chicken tender 911 calls, and uncomfortable passenger behavior on Southwest airlines.In the NCAA segment the Honchos did their usual thorough breakdown of Kansas’s 72-69 win over UNC in the NCAA Championship, as well as a shout out to South Carolina’s victory over UConn in the women’s tournament. The Honchos even squeezed in the winner of the Famous Alumni Bracket (still not on Twitter), Paul Rudd from the University of Kansas.The NFL Recap only had one story, and of course it had to be about the Washington Commanderskins. This time it was alleged financial improprieties that if true, may be the death knell for team owner Little Danny Snyder.Lot of hoops talk in the NHL/NBA/MLB segment, as well as a look at the NHL playoffs, the final update for the Ingleside Lakers as they were finally eliminated from playoff contention, Ben Simmons still not playing for Brooklyn, but finding time for a grievance against the Sixers, and a peek at the newest members of the Basketball Hall of Fame. With Opening Day coming up in the MLB this week the Honchos rolled out their 2022 MLB preview with picks and nuggets, and a look ahead to some technology changes for 2022.The Honchos could not leave for their Spring Break yuks without first dropping a new Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was the legend himself, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Follow everywhere @sportshonchos.
Transcribe →March Goes Out Like a Dan Campbell.
Mar 30, 202202:07:39Tap to summarizeEpisode 56 - Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Well, friendos, the Honchos came in like a lion this month and will go out like a lion – Dan Campbell to be exact. This was a big week in the entertainment world (more so than the sports world) so the showgram opened with celebrity talk – the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, and the health-related retirements of Phil Collins and Bruce Willis from concerts and acting respectively. The Honchos really felt their age with that news. This is a wacky, feel-good show, however, so in that vein they turned their attention to the “Who Wore It Best?” segment featuring, in honor of the 56th show, legendary New York Giants linebacker, Hall of Famer Lawrence “LT” Taylor. The Honchos went back to the entertainment well for the Headlines segment as they dissected the “Slap Heard Round the World” at the Oscars, as well as a story about repaying debts to your drug dealer with nudity and shocking news about where Brits enjoy snacking. Here is a hint – it ain’t in in the kitchen!There are four teams left in the NCAA tournament so after some post-Gonzaga therapy for Rob, there was a thorough breakdown of the Final Four and even a prediction or two. Spoiler Alert! It is Duke for the win. They even had time to give everyone an update on the Famous Alumni bracket.There is never an off-season in the NFL so there was plenty of news to discuss this week. There was breaking news tonight about Bruce Arians stepping away as coach of the Bucs, the new playoff OT rules, changes to the Rooney rule, Roger Goodell’s plans for Deshaun Watson (yes, we are still talking about him), and Rob gave all 8 USFL fans a preview of the 2022 season (not really).The pickings were mighty slim in the NHL/NBA/MLB cupboard tonight, but the Honchos found one crumb to chew on. They kicked around the nutty idea to extend the NHL salary cap into the playoffs.In honor of the Detroit Lions being chosen for this year’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO, and Detroit being named host city for the 2024 NFL Draft, the Honchos replayed a classic DOTW featuring Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

Transcribe →Springtime For The Honchos!
Mar 23, 202202:04:05Tap to summarizeEpisode 55 - Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.Spring has finally sprung and so too have the Honchos for another pastoral Wednesday feast of sports and other stuff. The Honchos put on their pastel finery tonight and talked about movies, the lifting of the vaccine mandate in New York, and the horror that is Peyronie’s disease (don’t ask). The Honchos shook that off and gave us the always sunny “Who Wore It Best?” segment featuring, in honor of the 55th show, a great (but not Hall of Fame worthy) player who also wore number 55. The mystery guest wearing 55 was former MLB pitcher Orel Hershiser of the Dodgers, Indians (yes, Indians) and the Mets. Before turning to the sporty part of the showgram there was time for a few Headlines about the dangers of drugs (and the people that take them) – inhaling deodorant, hiding drugs by consuming them, calling the police to verify the quality of drugs, and ironically-shaped edibles courtesy of Mike Tyson.It would not be spring without a thorough review of the smoldering wreckage that is our collective brackets and an update on the Famous Alumni bracket. Spoiler alert! Not great, Bob!Everyone but the Honchos were involved in an NFL trade this week, so the NFL Recap was all about old faces in new places. Watson to Cleveland, Ryan to Indy, Adams to Vegas, Hill to Miami, and the strange journey of Malcolm Butler ends where it began, in New England. The Honchos wrapped the pro football stuff with some hot USFL talk including some of their wackier rules.The NHL/NBA/MLB segment focused primarily on a review of the NHL trade deadline. Who made moves and who stood pat? The Honchos laid to rest the Ingleside Lakers update (at least until the playoffs), examined the money thrown at MLB free agents. discussed the new rules in MLB this season, Trevor Bauer in the cooler, Max Scherzer done with labor negotiations, and even asked why Rob has not been named the new MLB commissioner.No Spring is ever complete without sunshine, April showers, cherry blossoms, and the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Rex Chapman of CNN and CBS Sports.All live and archived at sportshonchos.com.Follow everywhere @sportshonchos.
Transcribe →Happy St. Honchos Show! (and Purim)
Mar 16, 202202:09:39Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.It was another fabulous showgram as the Honchos basked in the glory of the coming together of two great holidays on the same day – St. Patrick’s Day and Purim! The Honchos spent a few minutes on St. Patrick’s Day traditions (and some stereotypes) before tackling (see what we did there) “Who Wore It Best?” It is the 54th show, so we paid tribute to another famous 54, Hall of Fame LB Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears. The pre-sports hi-jinks ended with some Headlines: the end of Daylight Savings, leaf blower rage, and a job that truly stinks. (We will see ourselves out now.)The magically delicious lucky charms we call sports took over the show with the Honchos take on the NCAA Tournament brackets. Want a show that picks winners based on wins, losses, and analytics? Keep looking. Want a show that picks winner based on famous alumni of each school in the tourney? Look no further than the McHonchos.The Honchos next turned their attention to the NFL where the Recap was all about the QBs – Rodgers, Watson, Trubisky, Wentz, and some cat named Brady who ended the shortest retirement ever. There was also a little chatter on the legal tampering period, the Jaguars spending spree, and Rob complained (again) about the Commanderskins.During the NHL/NBA/MLB segment the Honchos discussed the Leafs perennial playoffs woes, what the Rangers and Caps should do as the NHL trade deadline looms, the Ingleside Lakers update, the Nets being fined 50 large for allowing an unvaccinated Kyrie Irving into the locker room, the end of the MLB lockout, and the fire sale in Oakland.At the end of the showgram rainbow the Leprechaun Honchos await your arrival with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Desmond Howard, Heisman Trophy winner and co-host of ESPN’s College Football Gameday.Follow @sportshonchos.
Transcribe →Marchos Honchos! We're Back Sports Fans!
Mar 10, 202202:09:50Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.The Honchos came in like a lion on their first show for the month of March. After some movie talk, including Rob’s review of The Batman, it was time for “Who Wore It Best?” For the 53rd show, the Honchos highlighted Hall of Famer Don Drysdale, who wore number 53 with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Headlines segment featured plastic surgery gone mad, the best story from the 2022 Winter Olympics, and bizarre criminal behavior in Green Bay.The sack of sports was ripped open with some College Football Playoffs expansion talk, followed by an NFL segment that was all about the quarterbacks (and one degenerate gambler). The Honchos crushed national media outlets for their reporting on the death of Redskins (yes, Redskins) legend Charley Taylor, and then it was all about the QBs: the new Aaron Rodgers contract to stay in Green Bay, the Russell Wilson trade to Denver, and the Commanderskins trading for Carson Wentz (oy gevalt). Before leaving the NFL segment the Honchos rapped about Calvin Ridley’s suspension for betting on NFL games.During the NHL/NBA/MLB segment the Honchos discussed Alex Ovechkin’s obligation to speak out against Russia, the latest on the sinking ship that is the Ingleside Lakers, the end of steroid testing in MLB, and, of course, an update on the MLB Lockout, which has just caused the cancellation of another week of games.After a brief detour into the latest heart attack on a bun offerings from a burger chain that shall remain nameless, it was time for the Honchos to go out like a lamb with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Doug Williams of the Washington Commanderskins. Follow everywhere @sportshonchos
Transcribe →Super Honchos Super Bowl Hangover!
Feb 17, 202201:46:46Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.Episode 52 was the Honchos Super Bowl hangover episode, so it was (almost) all football, all the time. After some show-opening small talk about vacations and family, the Honchos started the festivities with the “Who Wore It Best” segment. Today they paid tribute to NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis who wore number 52 with the Baltimore Ravens. Before leaving the non-football portion of the showgram, there were a few Headlines, which included snow blower rampages, Valentine’s Day candy, and the worst Black History Month tribute ever.There was only one thing in the sack of sports and that, of course, was a thorough autopsy on Super Bowl 56. The Honchos tackled (see what we did there) all aspects of the big game, plus the halftime show of course, as the Honchos waved goodbye to football as it went into hibernation for the Winter and Spring. Just because there can never be enough football yak, the Honchos also rapped about the newest NFL expansion team, the Washington Commanders, including thoughts from the great John Riggins on what a new name and logo mean to the players of the past.After such a gluttonous feast of football, the only dessert can be the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Jonathan Allen, DT for your Washington Commanders.All lived and archived shows at sportshonchos.com.Follow everywhere @sportshonchos.com
Transcribe →Super Bowl Sports Honchos Spectacular!
Feb 10, 202202:39:51Tap to summarizeHosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.The Honchos welcomed the month of February with a super romantic showgram as we approach Valentine’s Day. The love fest started with some mask talk, Paul’s son going to his first hockey game, snow on the Island, and why Jackass Forever is such a romantic movie. This is the 51st showgram and in the “Who Wore It Best” segment, the Honchos put the spotlight on NFL legend Dick Butkus, the Hall of Fame LB for the Chicago Bears. After showering Butkus with affection it was time for some Headlines. There were stories of fishing, dipping sauce, fundraising gone bad, and tattoos.The focus of tonight’s showgram, besides love, was football, football, and more football. And arguing. The Honchos debated the racist undertones of Nebraska’s Herbie Husker mascot before diving headfirst into the NFL. It is Super Bowl Week friendos! The Honchos took a deep dive into the Super Bowl, analyzed the game, picked a winner, and reminisced about some great commercials. The football follies continued with a courageous conversation over whether Cincinnati should be closing schools the day after the Super Bowl, Brady’s retirement, and, finally, an economy-sized, heart-shaped box filled with anxiety over the state of the NFL and barriers to entry in light of the Brian Flores lawsuit. Buckle up. It got rocky.There was so much football packed (like Elvis’s colon) into the showgram that we had to ditch the NHL/NBA/MLB segment at the altar. It will be back next week we promise!The Honchos went out on a high note with the wide smile and open-mouthed kiss they like to call the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Stony Brook University in Long Island. Yes, an entire institution. A first for the Honchos! Follow everywhere @sportshonchosAll live and archived shows at sportshonchos.com
