Knicks fallout, US Open preview, and a detour through Kentucky call-in chaos
This preview, based only on the published show notes, points to an episode that jumps from NBA aftermath and soccer chatter to a substantial US Open segment with Shane Bacon. It also teases a batch of Kentucky Sports Radio calls, an interview with HC Will Stein, and a closing listener FAQ.
Based on the show notes alone, this episode looks like a variety-pack listen built around sports talk, guest analysis, and a looser back-half format. The opening appears to focus on the "Knicks hangover" from Saturday, with Jalen Brunson reportedly dominating conversation and a Giannis-to-Boston possibility floated as part of the discussion. There’s also a shorter segment on World Cup draws before the show moves into its recurring Hot Seat/Cool Throne format, with mentions of PCA’s cycle and "Mr Bing Bong" retiring. The centerpiece, at least from the notes, is the interview with Shane Bacon. That segment is framed as a US Open preview at Shinnecock, covering who can win, why the course fits the event so well, and whether there should be concern about Scottie. If you’re deciding whether to listen for golf, this seems to be the most focused and substantive portion of the episode. After that, the tone appears to shift into something more comedic and regional: the hosts say they "hosted Kentucky Sports Radio" and share their best calls, including what the notes call "the best hypothetical ever," plus an interview with HC Will Stein. The episode then wraps with listener FAQs, which suggests a more casual finish. If your ideal episode mixes current sports storylines, one strong guest segment, and some call-in unpredictability, this one seems designed for that. If you want a single-topic deep dive, the Shane Bacon section may be the clearest reason to queue it up.
