Alright kids strap in — Mark Riley, Gino Binda Jr., and Josh Dolan sit down with Kevin Flynn — former pro soccer player, stand-up comic, and absolute weapon of a guy! The boys dive into the real stuff — the culture of hockey players, the gong show that is youth sports these days, and why every dad behind the glass thinks they’re Scotty Bowman. Kevin drops some unreal stories about going from the pitch to the stage, dealing with refs, and the art of not losing your mind at your kid’s game.
They get into how comedy’s changed — what you can say, what you can’t, and how the old-school legends like Rodney Dangerfield paved the way for the boys doing it now. Tons of laughs, tons of “you can’t say that anymore” moments, but all with that locker room honesty that makes Chirping Zebras what it is.
There’s also some great talk about mentorship — how the right guy in your corner can change your path, whether it’s comedy, hockey, or just life. Kevin even dives into concussions, youth development, and how soccer’s finally getting its due in the States… but don’t worry, they still find time to chirp a few soccer dives along the way. It’s a mix of beer-league banter, stand-up wisdom, and a few hard truths about the state of sports and comedy today.
