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).

This week on The Hurley Edition, Rich Shertenlieb of The Toucher & Rich Show joins the podcast. Rich shares the truly unbelievable stories of his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia (6:10), and how he successfully escaped (15:30).  He also discusses how he planned to pursue a career as a rock star before beginning his radio career (18:15).

Rich talked about his mind-set when recording bits in situations that most people would find very uncomfortable or awkward (28:20), and talks about the time he gave fake Star Wars spoilers to a room full of nerds who got dressed up to see the movie (30:20).

Rich got into his relationship with Fred Toucher, discussed the secret to having a successful morning show (34:35). 

He talked about how surprising it can be to meet people he's made fun of for years, like Bronson Arroyo (42:08), before explaining his background as a sports fan (45:00). That includes the odd sexual attraction that many women in the '80s felt toward Kevin McHale (46:10). What was that all about, anyway?

On a bit of a more serious note, Rich discussed his wife's battle with cancer and his family's experience of being in the middle of the Boston Marathon bombing (52:20).

They close out the conversation on a lighter note, like how he got Charlie Sheen to come into studio at the height of his popularity (1:06:00) and how he got to ask Madonna a question about A-Rod at the Super Bowl (1:09:30).
