Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 10:53 AM Tuesday’s edition of MMAjunkie Radio marked the 900th episode! What an awesome accomplishment for GG, Goze, John Morgan, Jenny, and even Frank Trigg who was involved for more than half of the shows. As the show continues to build notoriety in the MMA industry and gain more and more fans, MMAjunkie Radio is cementing its own place in MMA history as the far and away best MMA radio program ever. What once began as a show that was trying to fill a void after Ryan Bennett’s tragic death, MMAjunkie Radio took the ball and ran with it. In this edition of The Ph1sh Bowl, I am going to go back and talk about some memorable episodes and post some archives of some must-listen shows! The show is a part of many “Junkie’s” lives on a daily basis. Go back and listen to some of the shows that got MMAjunkie Radio to where it is today!
April 17th, 2007 happened to be the 1st live broadcast with Frank Trigg and Gorgeous George. You will notice how the show back then was much more of a “Man’s Show” wrapped around MMA. This show was one of the 1st TAGG Radio shows! To listen to this early show, check out the archive here: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=2
Can you believe it has been over 3 ½ years since Matt Sera was the UFC Welterweight Champion? Seems like it was just yesterday. Matt has always been one of the best interviews on the show and TAGG was able to get him on May 2nd, 2007 for some epic ball busting: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=18
For any of you that didn’t ever get to have the honor of hearing the late Ryan “Hitman” Bennett when he hosted an MMA radio show on MMAweekly.com with Frank Trigg, here is a good episode to listen in on while the guys spend some time to honor the MMAweekly.com founder: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=40
June of 2007 had some of my favorite shows due to the guests and stories. Joe Rogan joined the crew for an hour long on June 5th for a great show with topics that included Carlos Mencia, Trigg and Goze’s 5 questions and more: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=43 June 7th was also one to check out for one reason alone…..Trigg talks about his famed elevator fight with Bruce Buffer! http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=45 Well, if you liked hearing about Trigg talk about the fight, Bruce came on just a week or so later to give his take on the happening…oh, and some guy named Bas Rutten joined the crew as well: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=53
Many of you remember “The Goze and Alton Show”? Well they were interviewed on June 14th to talk about some adventures they had together in Las Vegas. Also Jeremy Jackson called in to scare Alton…don’t miss it! http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=50
In August of 2008, TAGG Radio was still doing their shows from The OC, but were in Las Vegas for their epic 100th Episode! They actually did two shows due to the amount of MMA fighters they were able to round up. http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=101 http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=102
One of my favorite episodes was on October 5th, 2007. Chuck Zito and Ricco Rodriguez were interviewed with Chuck being in-studio. Whenever I have no Junkie Radio to listen to, I many times have went back and listened to this archive….classic Chuck Zito! http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=130 Chuck also came and filled in for Trigg on January 25th, 2008: http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=201

I have never been the biggest Ken Shamrock fan, but always had a lot of respect for him for what he has done in and for the sport of MMA. Well during this episode of MMAjunkie Radio, the guys noticed a gentleman out in the sports book in Mandalay Bay who looked a lot like Ken Shamrock. Well it was him! This interview gave me a new found appreciation of Ken and I instantly became a fan of his. Check it out at the end of this archive! http://www.taggradio.com/index2.php?page=archives&display=962
