More Marinaro zany moments from this morning's show. It's worth to listen just for the hilarious stuff he comes up with.
Starts the show about the diet he's following now, which comes from his soccer friend Sandro Grande. It requires him to eat only between noon and 8PM, so he's doing the show on an empty stomach.
He immediately starts complaining. Says he's drinking a lot of water with lemon juice. And then he blurts out "I'm nauseous. I'm feeling nauseous."
He's doing a diet that's not sustainable with the work hours he has, he's struggling.
So listeners start texting him with their diet suggestions. He reads them off and disses them. "Not for me". Then, he reads a final text "Tony, I have the solution for you. You should follow this diet. It works. I have a high metabolism ..." Marinaro stops reading the text and comments "I'm sorry but I can't read this on air."
High metabolism.
He then proceeds to rattle off nostalgically, all the stuff he's given up, you know like pasta, pizza, subs, bread and several other flour based products that he gobbles down in a typical week. Jeez, I wonder why he needs a diet.
Follows that up with a lame interview with a TSN guy who did a story for W5, where he followed two kids (one in soccer, one in hockey) and did a comparative report on costs, training etc. At the end of it, Tony is visibly struggling to ask questions, his new empty stomach diet was killing him. So, he goes on default mode and asks the reporter a brainless question: "Did you like doing the story?"
The reporter was taken aback. There was a pause. Followed by "Well Tony, we do a lot of stories."
What else was he going to say? He wasn't going to crap on his own story and put his job at risk.
I don't listen for sports content anymore. The unintended comedic fallout has me cracking up.
The Friday scrum is coming. Stay tuned for Melnick ripping into Tony as he does every week.
