Riter Radio

Title is self-explanatory.

AI:

Riter Radio celebrates its 200th episode in the only way it could: chaotically, lovingly, and entirely pre-recorded while Brad, Scott, and the UB football crew hurtle down the Thruway toward Bowling Green. The show opens with a flood of congratulatory messages from the Riter Radio extended universe — Bob Gaughan delivering a Stone Cold Lock teaser, Ray Walter comparing the show to the American experiment, John Fuller promising endless Philadelphia championships, and Ben Turnbull giving a beautifully unhinged rugby-tinged salute. Brad explains that Episode 200 had to be assembled like a Halloween mixtape — video tricks, horror-movie backdrops, costume bits, and brand new segments from multiple guests, all stitched together before boarding the bus. It’s the very first Riter Radio “clip show” that isn’t actually clips.

The special features big conversations: Ben recaps the Bills-Panthers takeover in Charlotte — the tailgate raid, the Jameson Viking, the Amazon Bills-merch flood sent to their host, and how a group of non-Bills fans somehow became America’s adopted second team. Then comes a long, heartfelt, funny, meaningful call with Paul Peck, who reveals the full story of the artery blockage that kept him off the UB broadcast for two weeks, walks through the symptoms men ignore, jokes about his own angioplasty being called like football play-by-play, and gives Brad real advice for his debut as Saturday’s color analyst. Finally, Scott Wilson checks in with a Minnesota pick, a Miami–SMU “be careful” alert, and a quick tribute to hitting 200 shows. It’s a messy, warm, funny, spooky, strangely beautiful milestone episode — a perfect snapshot of the Riter Radio world and everyone who makes it what it is.

Paul Peck makes his triumphant return and explains his two-week absence from the UB football broadcast.

TBD

18 innings and nearly seven hours after it began, the Dodgers claimed Game 3 of the World Series with a Freddie Freeman walk-off home run to beat the Blue Jays, 6-5. Bob Gaughan joins to discuss the Bills, Brian Kelly's firing at LSU, and the NBA/poker gambling scandal.

The Buffalo Bills bounce back with a 40-9 win over the Carolina Panthers. Scott Wilson joins to recap that and the rest of the weekend.

It took awhile but here's the first episode of Riter Radio that we've ever posted in video form. We're adding bits and pieces along the way as we turn this thing into a "real" show. Scott Wilson makes his second appearance of the week to discuss World Series ticket prices, the NBA/poker gambling scandal, and the upcoming weekend in pro and college sports.

Tried something new with this one. We start by airing/commenting on the live press conference from Brooklyn regarding the arrest of NBA head coach (and HOFer) Chauncey Billups and current player Terry Rozier. Then Paul Peck jumps in to recap what we heard and discuss gambling historical and current relationship with the world of sports.

A brief explanation of yesterdays's technical difficulties followed by a pair of guests. Bob "Grindr" Gaughan makes his weekly appearance and, with no Bills game to discuss, dives right into breaking down communication issues in America. Then Josh Gregory, host of the Uncle Josh's True Scary Stories podcast, joins for a connection about the paranormal.

Technical issues -- nothing but the microphone was working -- turned this episode into an "acoustic" performance.

For a weekend without a Bills game, the calendar sure did fill up with other sports options -- including a another improbable UB Bulls comeback victory, this time on the road at UMass. Scott Wilson joins Brad to discuss all of the above.
