We Took Over Sports Radio… Their Fans Were NOT Ready

August 21, 2026

Speakers: Lern, Rafe, Moon

Topics: Comedy, Society & Culture

And now a word from our sponsor, Bud Light.

**Lern** (0:04)
There's nothing better than the clean, crisp. There's nothing better than the clean, crisp.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:12)
What if we just got out of here and grab some Bud Lights? But man, we're on air for four more hours.

**Rafe** (0:16)
I'll figure it out.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:18)
Sounds good to me. Anything for the clean, crisp taste of Bud Light.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:22)
Stock up now.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:34)
Hey!

**SPEAKER_7** (1:39)
All right. I feel like we never left.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:42)
Back on the air, guys. It's Friday.

**Moon** (1:43)
It does feel like the old days when I was sleeping in the studio.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:48)
We did the Fast Lane yesterday. Long day.
Long day yesterday. But we made it. We came out the other side stronger. And here we are on this Friday.

**Lern** (1:59)
My favorite part of hosting the Fast Lane with you guys was how confused the ESPN audience was as to what happened to their show. You would think that if you listened a lot, that you would have known, like, hey, new people.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:13)
If you listen to us a lot or you listen to them a lot? To them a lot.

**Moon** (2:15)
But maybe they didn't say anything.

**Lern** (2:16)
Maybe.

**Moon** (2:17)
I thought maybe, maybe they didn't tell their audience that they were going to be replacing them.

**Lern** (2:22)
They started responding to confused men on the text line for ESPN with, we tied up Anthony Stalter and threw him in the Keishy studio. Like, they're like, where is Anthony?

**Moon** (2:32)
I know.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:32)
Listen, those sports, those sports talk radio fans are a passionate bunch.

**Lern** (2:38)
Yeah.

**Moon** (2:38)
Yeah, for sure.

**Lern** (2:39)
They're no nonsense.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:40)
No nonsense. And it took a little while to win them over, but I think we did it.

**Moon** (2:42)
Well, you know, and I think I said this on air yesterday, or at least I said it to you guys in the studio. It was about an hour in when I actually realized what was happening, because we're used to some pretty brutal criticism and people chirping at us and that whole thing because everybody has access in eight different ways.
And then, but it was different. It was a totally different tone over there. And I was like, God, dude, these people are on something, man. They have had their exploder for that day.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:08)
Oh, it's the afternoon. Listen, we're getting the kind of angry morning people.

**Moon** (3:12)
But that's what I thought.
And then I realized, wait a second, sports fans, what do we do? Because we're sports fans, most of us. And I was like, what do we do when we're sports fans? When we go to a game, we're yelling, we're chirping, we're doing that whole thing.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:24)
I don't do that. We're getting unreasonable. Well, some of us do.

**Moon** (3:27)
Some of us do. You're telling me you never do that when you're watching sports?

**SPEAKER_7** (3:30)
No.

**Moon** (3:31)
You don't yell at the TV like, what are you doing?

**SPEAKER_7** (3:33)
I mean, under my breath.

**Moon** (3:36)
Well, that's what I mean. And that is what their fans-
