Do we ask Dave how he created the original PHANATIC persona? You bet!
Talk about his relationship with Philly fans? Of course!
His "relationship" with Tommy Lasorda? You better believe it

We also talk about how the national media has dubbed Dave the "hero of happiness", and his ability to show how humor in the workplace can add productivity and slow turnover to small and large companies.

And golf? Oh does Dave love his golf, including playing with Steve Elkington, Fred Couples and even Philly great Mike Schmidt. Dave, like a lot of people played golf as a way to bond with his Dad, and he talks about that bond, too.

The hero of happiness brings smiles, great stories and a few surprises to this very special episode of The Approach Shot.

We ask Joel Hanrahan:

What happened on your first major league at bat?
Was there really a game in which you were the winning pitcher, while not being on the winning team's roster?
Who used to be your BP pitcher growing up?
Did you really go out and eat 20 chicken wings the day before you pitched?
Ever had a hole in one?

So many subjects, so little time, so we put the hammer down and got JOEL HANRAHAN to tell us everything.

This is a funny, insightful and completely entertaining episode of The Approach Shot, presented by Fan Duel.

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.

He's a 49er, he's a Dolphin, he's Super back! TERRY KIRBY joins us on The Approach Shot with a unique perspective of what it's like to have played in the NFL for a decade, scored 27 TD's as a runner, 12 as a receiver, 4 as a return man and even have thrown 3 TD passes!

But our conversation doesn't stop there. We talk about Marino, Irving Friar, Steve Young and TK getting heated (and echoes our sentiment) when we talk about Dolphins' Pro Bowl lineman Richmond Webb STILL not being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Want to talk about passion, humor and great storytelling? It's all here in this exceptionally entertaining episode of The Approach Shot.
