So proud of my daughter. She crushed the
@nycmarathon
, her first, in 3 hours and 41 minutes. I barely finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes but was awesome to do it with her.
As much as I want to come back to work — and I think I’m ready emotionally — I just have too much to do preparing for a funeral on Wednesday. It’s been a crazy confluence of events. I was staying at my Moms as we were moving, I caught a bad case of Covid and then my Mom passed.
Probably oversharing but this is the kind of thing my Mom would have loved. As we’re finally starting to move in, we got Isabella’s room ready (still have to pictures up) & Jess wanted to do a big reveal. My Mom bought new bedding for Isabella, Kelsie and Dylan. Thank you Mom.
First let me thank the countless people who have reached out via Twitter, Facebook or text. Thank you for the support. I also need to thank
@ebjunkies
,
@moneymetalcakes
and Bish for paying tribute to my Mom. EB gave me too much credit as a son but he captured my Mom’s spirit.
I had a game plan. It worked. I won $500. I also was throwing up on the floor of our studio for hours. Took a shower at the station at 3:30 pm and “slept” during my
@lyft
ride home. Winner winner chicken dinner! But I’m not sure it was worth it? Thanks for listening!
Four more years. Thx to all the listeners that have made this possible. We truly appreciate your support. To think we started this when I was 24 on Bowie cable access tv. Now I’m 48. Humbled and thankful. It’s been a fun ride. Let’s keep it going!
Entercom, the unrivaled leader in sports radio, and
@JunksRadio
, announce a new long-term contract extension: "We're excited to continue waking up Washington on 106.7 The Fan for many years to come."
Apparently I’m the only one from
@JunksRadio
that will order food and eat solo from a place like
@Potbelly
. They’d rather eat in their car or at home. Pass. I’ll enjoy my meatball sub and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie here and stare at my phone.
Continuing to clear out my Mom & Dad’s house. Going to miss this back yard. Had a lot of great baseball and football games back here with
@EBJunkies
and
@moneymetalcakes
when we were little.
Though
@EBJunkies
constantly said it was “narrative” and that Wentz could play, he’s not good. Today he was horrible. Heinicke had just 2 INTs in the last 4 games. Carson with 3 with the quickness. That said, to me it’s all on RON. They were 7-5 but 0-3-1 last 4. Bye Ron.
Anybody else wondering if Heinecke might be more suited to escape the pressure? I don’t think Alex deserves to be pulled, but his lack of mobility is killing them right now.
This is the obituary I wrote about my Mom, Lourdes Josefina Nieves La Cruz Flaim. Most of our listeners never met her of course but they got a little insight when the boys talked about her. And now you can read more. There is also a link to the mass.
It’s been one year since my Mom passed away. My family misses her tremendously but as I am here in Puerto Rico I know she is with us. May we make her proud.
If u would like to watch the video tribute for my Mom:
In “Vivir mi Vida” Marc Anthony sings:
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
Vivir mi vida, la la la la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
Vivir mi vida, la la la la
My Mom did. She smiled, she danced, she enjoyed life.
Bittersweet to see this today without my Mom. She would have loved this. She would spread out the
@washingtonpost
every day and read it religiously. Thanks to
@ScottSAllen
for writing the article on 25 years of
@JunksRadio
and the book.
Hanging with my son at the
#MilitaryBowl
. He had to endure our four hour
@JunksRadio
show beforehand and waking up at 5:00 am but he gets cised for college football.
No I’m not at the game. But watching with my wife, 12 year old son and 2 year old is pretty cool, especially with milk and cookies. Let’s go

#FINISHTHEFIGHT
Survived my first polar plunge. Still shivering but was an awesome event as they raised over $87,000 for Virginia Special Olympics. My co-emcee Michelle is a Special Olympics athlete who swims the 100 meter IM. She crushed it.
I get so cised for post game celebrations and post game interviews. And this is next level when it’s a home team. Washington is in the midst of a run.
@Capitals
,
@WashMystics
and now the
@Nationals
. Going to be fun starting at 6:00 am tomorrow on
@JunksRadio
.
Mi familia. My crew joined by my cousin Melisa and her son Luis Julian and my Aunt Poky. Though my Mom is not here physically I know she is smiling that we are with family in her apartment in Isla Verde. 🇵🇷
Here it is, bam! Crazy. We don’t deserve them but thank you to the
@Capitals
for hooking us with the
#StanleyCup
rings. (By the way, I need some lotion for my hands)
Regardless of who you want to play,
@Nationals
fans should be rooting for a Game 7 so the
@astros
are forced to use Gerrit Cole and the
@Yankees
are forced to use Severino.
#OnePursuit
I can’t respond to everyone but truly honored. I’m proud of the book & the
@JunksRadio
story. I think you’ll enjoy the highs, lows, behind-the-scenes & more.
to buy and to see testimonials & book tour info. I’ll be all over the DMV soon. Spread the word!
I’m not the fan I used to be but I still love this team. Hopefully they can win the World Series. This was the team me and my Dad most followed together and all my childhood heroes were
@Orioles
.
#Orioles
So many people tweeted me calling me a hater. The
@Commanders
aren’t good. They have major flaws including the offensive line and their coach. They punted 10 times today.
Our guy
@matt_valdez
loves to say “it’s just sports.” Well sports can deliver amazing moments. So awesome to watch all of this. Being a fan can deliver disappointment and heartbreak, but it also can deliver pure joy.
#StanleyCup
Gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em. I could be proven wrong, but I doubt it. It’s not gonna work for Rivera here in DC. Sirianni turned around Philly instantly. Dabol doing the same thing in NY. Move on from Ron as soon as you can. This is going nowhere.
Finished my second marathon after admittedly horrific training the last 4-6 weeks as I worked tirelessly on the book. Proud of my daughter Kelsie for finishing her first. This was my last. 51 years old, 5 knee surgeries. I’m out! Sorry
@runpacer
.
Haskins is just too inconsistent. You can’t win in the league if your quarterback is hit or miss on throws. As tantalizing as some of his throws are, others are infuriating.
#WashingtonFootball
Thank you to the
@Nationals
. Such a classy organization. We know we did nothing to deserve this but it was an amazing ride last season all the way to the parade.
#WorldSeries
Happy 23rd birthday to my first born Kelsie. Time is flying by but proud of everything she has accomplished. (Note, she’s running a 20 mile warm up for the Long Beach marathon today)
The more I think about it, I’m for bringing in Kap. They’re not going anywhere with Sanchez. This season is cooked. Their defense stinks now and they’ve lost 2 QBs. With Alex’s return questionable why not take a look at what Kap can do? Let’s have some fun. Bring Kap to DC.
Seems like 2 hours ago, but that strikeout of Altuve with runners on 2nd and 3rd with just 1 out may have been the biggest out of the game.
#STAYINTHEFIGHT
#OnePursuit
Fifty years old, five knee surgeries, just trying to finish one last marathon, the
@nycmarathon
, which I am excited to run with my daughter. Tapering down now as I follow the
@runpacer
plan. T minus 22 days.
#ForEveryRun
Could you imagine being a
@Giants
fan after this game? Daniel Jones long TD run wiped out by the hold. Slayton drops a TD pass that hits his hands. And then the missed FG is wiped out by an offsides penalty. Wow.
Truly honored by all the support today. Thanks to my guy John at
@Potbelly
for letting me host a book signing here. Sorry I drove to the wrong shop first! Grateful for all our great listeners. Wouldn’t have made it 25 years without you. Thx to Bish &
@matt_valdez
for coming.
