Laughs? Check
More laughs? You betcha
Will you have to put the show on pause so you don't miss anything while laughing? Uh huh
But Red Grant also has a serious side, which caused him to run for mayor of Washington DC, and with no funding from any political party, almost won. He cares deeply and this didn't turn into party politics, but you have to respect a comedian who went door-to-door and tried to cause change.
Mostly though, we laugh. Again and again.
It was like an hour of stand-up when we sat down with Red Grant on this "laugh so hard you'll cry" episode of The Approach Shot.

Being a professional baseball player means the world to Dodgers pitcher Darren Dreifort. It's given him a life that he and his family are grateful for every day.
But being a professional dad and a loving husband? That gives DD the kind of joy that only a father of 4 and a happy husband can experience.
Sure, closing games at Dodger Stadium, and pitching over 175 innings three consecutive years with double digit win totals is thrilling and rewarding. But, balancing home life and professional life is what keeps the smile on Darren's face, and the humor in his soul.
And he is FUNNY! I mean, "laugh out loud A LOT" kind of funny.
So, if you enjoy laughing, hearing great stories, hearing about family and contentment (and who doesn't want to hear that these days?), this episode of The Approach Shot will give you ALL the feels!

When you grow up in Sacramento and play college ball in L.A; you don't exactly dream of playing in cold weather, in a city that is the quintessential "small market". But the warmth GEOFF JENKINS felt (and still feels) from the Milwaukee Brewers organization is enough to keep the fire lit. Named to the Brewers Wall of Honor, Geoff had the 4th most home runs in Brewers history, only behind Robin Yount, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder.
But it was his one year in Philadelphia that got him his World Series ring.
A fascinating man with an incredible sense of humor, this episode of The Approach Shot with GEOFF JENKINS is a must listen.
And it's conversations like this that made The Approach Shot the 2026 award of distinction winner for Best Sports interview and best co-hosts.

At 88 years old, you'd think NFL Hall of Famer RON MIX would be slowing down a bit, but his competitive fire still burns brightly. The NFL hall of Famer and 8x AFL All Star and AFL champion uses his experience and cunning to fight on behalf of former NFL players as President of the PFRPA (Pro Football Retired Players Association), where he works with other former greats like Jack Youngblood, Mike Singletary, Ahman Green to name a few to help players that are in need.
Ron talks about those players, who put their bodies (and brains) through the wars of professional football, their lingering health issues, and how the PFRPA are helping those players and their families.
Ron also reveals why he "hates" golf (turns out he doesn't really HATE it), and gives us his take on today's NFL. It's a fascinating view through the eyes of a man who has does it all and a must listen.

You know how they say everything is better in Texas? Well, at 6'6", 338 FLOZELL ADAMS had the SIZE to be one of the greatest offensive lineman of his time. But it's not JUST the size that worked.

Bryce Paup's toughness comes from his years of being looked over, played at the wrong position and then BAM! everything clicked. But don't think he just fell into the right situation. His toughness comes from the right attitude, work ethic and doing the right thing over and over again. He'd call himself "old school" if old school means "you reap what you sew."
Sure, he has a great sense of humor, and is a proud, protective Dad. And he sure loves to talk about golf, even if his game is a work in progress.
Strap on your pads, cause this hard hitting episode is an absolute blast!

He made a living as a "part time" hitter that came of the bench and was the back-up first baseman for the Cardinals, Nats, Braves and Rockies.
But MATT ADAMS' impact was far greater than a bench player. In a game against the Cincinnati Reds, Matt hit a go-ahead HR in the 14th, and when the Reds tied the game, he hit ANOTHER home run in the 16th, this time to win it.
In Game 4 of the 2014 NLDS, Matt took Clayton Kershaw deep to secure the Game 4 victory against the Dodgers, propelling the Cards into the NL Championship.
In 2019, in only 310 at bats, Adams hit 20 HR's, which contributed mightily to the Nationals amazing season, which culminated in them winning the World Series.
After losing 35 pounds, Big City looks more like a small town, but his stories, and his humor are as big as ever, including some hilarious golf stories.
MATT ADAMS makes this truly one of the most entertaining episodes yet of The Approach Shot.

Hilarious and thoughtful, poetic yet humble, this episode with GORDON CLAPP is so much more than NYPD BLUE.
Sure, he won an Emmy for his role as Detective Greg Medavoy, and had a cast of great actors like Dennis Franz, Jimmy Smits and so many more to work with, but Gordon seems even more comfortable on stage doing a one man show, or living his best life doing theater in his beloved New England.
If you listen to podcasts to smile and be entertained, this episode of The Approach Shot with Gordon Clapp is a must listen.

It's gooooooooooood! That goes for many of Nick's field goals and extra points. It's also true for this episode of The Approach Shot.
The man who's been an All Pro, tied for the NFL scoring lead and led the NFL in field goal percentage the last THREE years running, also talks family, golf and what's next for the man they call "Folk Hero".
Fingers crossed that we get to watch him on the gridiron again in 2026.
This is a trip behind the curtain of one of the NFL's best at his position and only on The Approach Shot.

We call The Approach Shot the golf "flavored" podcast. Never has that description been more evident as it is in this episode with quarterback TERRY HANRATTY.
Sure, we talk golf. We are, as mentioned a GOLF "flavored" show. But we also talk with Terry about finally being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. And about the amazing coaches that shaped him. His friendship with Terry Bradshaw. His podcast. And yes, his battle with Stage 4 lung cancer, which he has every intention on beating.
But, it's how he deals with cancer that is so incredible. He attacks it with humor and head-on and wishes others would do the same. Some would call him brave, others might call him an optimist. We call him our brother and our friend.
This is a rare glimpse into the true heart of a champion, on and off the field.
