The final hour of the program, broadcast live from Twin Peaks in Tempe, began with a high-energy appearance by Rickie Ricardo, the Spanish radio voice for the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Eagles, on the Right Toyota Guest Line. Ricardo, who also serves as a DraftKings analyst, relived several of his most viral calls—including his famous "¡No, señor!"—and discussed the unique challenge of balancing two of the most passionate fanbases in sports. He shared insights into his signature broadcasting style, which blends English and Spanish to create a distinct "Spanglish" marquee, and provided his expert betting locks for MLB Opening Day. Next, the duo shifted focus to the local diamond, breaking down the Arizona Diamondbacks' strengths and weaknesses just an hour before their season opener against the Dodgers. The guys debated whether the team's speed and defensive upgrades can compensate for the temporary absence of Corbin Burnes and Merrill Kelly. Later, NFL Hall of Fame voter and CardsWire contributor Howard Balzer joined the show via the Right Toyota Guest Line to provide an offseason outlook for the Arizona Cardinals. Balzer expressed his deep frustration with the national narrative that the team might be "aiming to tank" for the 2027 draft, arguing that Monti Ossenfort's aggressive moves in free agency and the acquisition of veteran leaders prove the organization is focused on immediate improvement. The show concluded with the Lerner & Rowe "One Call That's All," a final look at the night's sports schedule, and the results of the State 48 Roofing Question of the Day.
