During an interview last week with Jake Asman, Don La Greca shared his notorious rants are good for him, because it’s better to let it out than keep it in. The subject of La Greca’s rants, as well as Barrett Sports Media’s subsequent article on the topic, came up during Monday’s episode of The Michael Kay Show.
During a discussion about who the “clown” of the show was, La Greca brought up how a recent trip to Music City with the New York Rangers showcased how legendary one of his rants has become.
“Somebody held up a sign from Nashville that said Ed Kranepool,” La Greca said, referencing his 2018 meltdown that the only “lifer” New York Mets could turn to was the club’s former first baseman. “They listen from Nashville. I went down and took pictures with them. I thought that was really cool. That’s kind of clownish with the Ed Kranepool and me screaming like a maniac.”
“That’s now clownish,” Kay replied. “It’s made you a lot of money. I saw that you got interviewed by our good buddy in Houston, Jake Asman. And then Barrett Sports Media picked it up so everyone nationally is seeing it.”
“(They) wrote an article about how I said on the air that it’s good to let it out during a rant. Don’t keep it in,” said La Greca. “There was a whole article about it. I thought that was nice.”
“You’re very big in this business. I think you know that,” Kay said.
The Michael Kay Show will be celebrating its 20th anniversary Friday at the Palladium Times Square. Kay, La Greca, and Peter Rosenberg will host the show from the theatre live before continuing with an “unplugged” event from 7:00-9:00 PM.
