“Me here and you there”

  1. Overnight, and under the covers, schmoozing S-P-O-R-T-S. I would have loved to get his take on last year’s Mets.

  2. Captain Midnight! Now boarding flight 66

    Loved to bust on the Ice landers. Carpiniello was a frequent guest for great Ranger talk too.

    Didn’t he call Kevin McReynolds Kevin McDonalds? And Alejandro “Stomach” Pena!

  3. I absolutely loved hearing his show. His take on things and spins on the ups and downs of Mets baseball always made me smile.

  4. One time, when my wife and I were driving back late from something, I had the Schmooze on giving one of his monologues and she says “that’s really nice”. I asked why and she thought that the FAN was allowing someone with special needs host a show.

  5. I remember listening to his show driving home from the Babylon train station after Ranger games. Respect

  6. I interned at the FAN in the 90s and the first time I met him I told him that I listened to him all the time and he said “I’m just happy to have a job.”

    Also, he was wearing a Marvin the Martian shirt tucked in way too tight and I thought it was exactly what he should be wearing.

  7. The Schmooze got me through many nights when I was new at my job and it was BEFORE smart phones. Thanks Steve

  8. I have a lot of good memories cooking dinner after work listening to Schmooze. Fantastic times. I miss him a lot in that timeslot.

  9. I spent my childhood with the Schmooze. FAN on my clock radio every night growing up until iPods came around

  10. Respectfully disagree.

    I find he (and Benigno) to have dated opinions and hard to listen to anymore.

  11. When I was little my parents would let me listen to the Mets on the radio with Bob Murphy when I went to bed. Then I’d listen to the Mets postgame. Then Mets Extra with Howie Rose. Then if I stayed up way too late, I’d listen to that overnight show, schmoozing. Such memories.

  12. is he not on anymore? i thought he was filling in here and there and could swear i heard him last summer during a rain delay.

    anyway i will never forget calling him up as a little kid absolutely furious that the mets traded my favorite player, hubie brooks, to the expos for some washed up catcher who hated new york. he actually agreed “on paper” but said time will tell how it works out. good times

  13. Man, I’d love it if there were a database with all his shows to listen to. I used to fall asleep listening to the Mets on my Walkman as a kid and would often wake up to the Schmooze.

  14. I got on the air with him multiple times driving back home from my girlfriend’s place. Great dude.
