Is your kiss on my list? It could be, perhaps, if your lips are soft and pouty enough. But maybe you don’t care. And if that’s the case, it’s totally not cool because John Oates of the legendary music duo Hall & Oates wants you to care.

Why does any of this matter? Because the Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer (and mustache hall-of-famer) joined Episode 5 of The UnderBelly Sports Podcast (29:45) where we dug deep into his remarkable career, John’s penchant for restoring old Porsches and he dishes on how he met Daryl Hall at a teen dance, which is ironically where I find 72 percent of my dates.

Not enough? Need more meaty pork loin to tempt you into listening. Fair enough. Former NFL quarterback Jamie Martin and I also lay down some smooth grooves in examining the NFL rookie QB report card (1:15), the debacle that is Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (7:20), we debate the top 10 NBA players currently in the league today (19:15), and the most important mustache in history (24:30).

Pop Queen Jamie Pesek brings some femininity to our cauldron of toxic masculinity in discussing Gabrielle Union, Dwayne Wade, babies and Michelle Obama (50:45); arm wrestle over the Maryland coaching controversy (59:20) and rock out with the most bad-ass name in sports today – Michigan State’s Rocky Lombardi (1:17:10) – along with much, much more in a jam-packed show.

Giddyup!
