It’s that time again - a freshy podcast has been handcrafted, coddled and then set free to find those most deserving ears, such as yours.

Before you run off to enjoy, remember to tune into our ruckus of a radio show on SIRIUS Channel 123, 1-3 PM this Monday, which also happens to be St. Patrick’s Day! As such, we have been given permission by the big boss (we’ll call him Big, BIG Boss) to partake in a little green libation, if you will. And we will. So don’t miss it.

Now, back to the award-winning perfection that is the Fantoo Girls.

Episode 110

Shaq Tumbles, Hydropyrolysis Works and JaMarcus Russell EATS! with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from a place of darkness - mentally and physically - in the heart of the Dead Zone on Mt. Everest.

If you are a loyal listener to the show, and rest assured there are millions, you know that we do not advocate climbing Mt. Everest if you need to enlist a sherpa or seven to help you get there. So you should not be surprised that we think it is a supreme bonehead move to take school children who - get this - have never climbed before and ARE BLIND up a sheet of ice that has claimed many lives. At least the teacher had more sense than the guide, Erik Weihenmayer (who is also blind and has summited) who moaned, “I did not come 7500 miles to take these kids up halfway!” Nuff said.

So off we go to the eternal happy land that is all things sports.

Goodell has decided it’s time to crack down on spying. That’s right, Roger, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Well done. Step two - suspend Bill Belichick. We can’t wait to see what Randy Moss does when that happens. Now we lay in wait for Matt “anybody got a blender blade?” Walsh.

While Federer was nursing Mono, a Fantoo favorite, John Daly, was whooping it up with the Hooters Girls…DURING the PODS Championship! Okay, so it was a rain delay, and it is golf. We understand the pull of hops and barley better than the average girl, but we can restrain ourselves…sometimes.

John, you’re good for golf, you’re good for beer. But to be good to both you have to perform. Please don’t let us down. Golf needs you to balance out all that is Tiger.

Over in NASCAR, Tiregate burns like rubber on the heels of Tony Stewart’s somewhat, okay, totally, personal attack on Goodyear. Fear not, they’ll work it out, grill a buzzard and get on with it. The season has been too much fun so far to get all bully on someone. Unless that’s what we actually love about racing. We’ll get back to you on that.

The heat of Spring Training beckons so we open our MLB coverage with this week’s Rookie Look.

Evan Longoria (no typo there, much to his dismay) is lighting it up for the Tampa Rays.

We have determined that “Rays” actually refers to one guy named Ray. It’s one of those deals…somebody knew somebody who had a friend named Ray who wanted a team named after him…you know how the story goes.

Anyway, Evan, or Eva as his friends like to call him, is just the tip of the farm system in Tampa. They may be the brunt of jokes this year, but they will get their due at a ball park near you, making you cry in your beer because they kicked your team’s arse. So there. And they clearly don’t like the Yankees. Gotta love bench clearing brawls in Spring Training!

So, Bud Selig sees no reason to read the recently released grand jury testimony of Barry Bonds? Wait, let’s see if we get this straight. Selig sees no reason to read the testimony of the current home run king regarding his alleged (HAHAHAHAHAHA) abuse of steroids? Maybe because he already KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT? But the steroid era is about to end thanks to oil. Now we don’t mind paying so much at the pump because Hydropyrolysis is coming to a urinal near you. Finally, the test that can clean up sports. We wonder who in the league will try and bury this one.

We leave ‘roids behind to spend some time in the paint where Shaq does his best impersonation of a Russian tumbler, Kobe applauds the “larceny” that landed Pau Gasol in his court, and the Rockets prove that what the New England Patriots did isn’t all that amazing. March Madness may be around the corner, but it will be hard to overshadow the NBA this year, and The Girls couldn’t be more thrilled.

Over on the ice we take you back to a moment so hockey, so brilliant, so ‘that’s what you get when you try to insert yourself into the game’

…and then we (well, one of us) ridicule Cinderfella again for, you guessed it, his groin. UGGGHHH.

But, we leave the rink on a high note as THE stadium (Yankee Stadium) decides it might leave the world on the back of a shoot out.

Speaking of being on your back (okay, that was a stretch) we close this week’s podcast gold with another IT HAS TO BE SAID which strongly urges that one not participate in that which one is trying to eradicate. So grab your Number 9, your friend Ray, and your best set of tires…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
