This week, Sports Hub morning show host Fred Toucher joins The Hurley Edition podcast. He answers the age-old question of how in the world he lives despite waking up so early every day (2:30), discusses the origins of the Toucher & Rich show (8:05), and recalls the uncertainty of going through the format flip from a rock station to a sports talk station in 2009 (11:18).

Known to hold the occasional antagonistic interview, Fred talks about that quality (19:53) before discussing how frustrating it can be to spend time on Twitter (29:30). Then he talks about which famous people have gotten angry at him over the years (35:23). He also discusses how he navigates a talk show during the weirdest era in American politics (39:10).

Finally, Fred and Mike get into their main topic of the day: the eighth season of New Girl (45:20). The guys go deep on New Girl -- deeper than they knew possible. And then talk a little bit about their mysterious co-worker, Michael Felger (51:58), and Fred shares his vision for his future podcast (54:12).

On this episode of The Hurley Edition, Sports Hub host Adam Jones joins the podcast. Jones has been dubbed "The Dark Knight" and "The Sports Vulture" for his negative sports takes, so he's asked if he's a bit misunderstood (2:15). Jones then explains the unique challenges facing the evening show (4:55) and weighs in on what percentage of fans who give him a hard time on Twitter are in on the joke or are actually angry (8:30).

Jones reflected on his early days at The Sports Hub and shared how he ended up getting to the Hub from Northeastern, by way of ESPN 890 and with a stop at ESPN Boston (10:15). He explained what his goals were when he got the night show gig back in 2012 (32:20), and discussed how he stays healthy despite the nocturnal work schedule (39:00).

Jones also discussed when the show lost Rich Keefe (46:15) and added Nick Cattles (48:20). Before saying goodbye, Jones shared his best and worst memories from his five years of hosting the evening show (52:25).

On this episode of The Hurley Edition, ESPN SportsCenter anchor Randy Scott joins the program. The conversation began with what life is like as a SportsCenter host (3:00), including how the job and the industry has changed (12:00) over the years. He recalled what life was like living on month-to-month contracts at NESN (14:35) and his early career bouncing from small town to small town (23:00). He then revealed that he wakes up for work every day at 1:45 a.m. (25:55), and he explained how that affects his life.

The conversation then turned to the amount of hatred and rage felt toward ESPN from many people around the country (38:35) and how he feels about it. He also talked about how difficult it is when ESPN undergoes its highly publicized layoffs (49:55).

Then Mike had some fun at Randy's expense for how tormented his life has been since the Tuck Rule ruined his life as a Raiders fan (58:10). Randy also shared a great story about how he accidentally bashed Tom Brady for a whole night in front of Tom Brady's sister (1:04:20).

Before the podcast ended, Randy turned the tables and asked Mike a question about why he is so bothered by the famed Seahawks fans who refer to themselves as The 12s (1:12:50).
