MZNOW with Michael Zavala

Joe Shaw is back! He talks about Miami Before Messi, his book on the Miami Fusion. They were the best team in MLS and then disappeared after four seasons. Joe explains why he told the team’s former owner “no” while in line at Six Flags, how Carlos Valderrama got picked up from the airport in an intern’s Corolla, and the time he nearly got trampled giving away free Irish Spring soap at a Dallas Burn game. Plus, Bri diagnoses Joe with ADHD, Eric reveals he quietly wrote his own book, Michael won’t stop pushing the Southwest card, and a car problem turns out to be a tire about to explode.

We lost one of the great voices in animation. Eric Bauza, the Emmy Award-winning voice actor behind Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, died Sunday at his home at just 46. Eric was a friend of the show, and today we’re replaying his first time on the show with Michael back in 2019. Eric grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, started his career in animation and went on to become a major force in the animation world, voicing Looney Tunes favorites including Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian and Road Runner, along with Woody Woodpecker. He racked up more than 400 acting credits throughout his career and won three Children’s & Family Emmy Awards for his voice work, and told NBC News in 2021 that he was the first person of color to voice Bugs Bunny. Warner Bros. said he followed in the footsteps of giants like Mel Blanc. Rest in peace, Eric. Get more show at MZNOW
