Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 132 – The Real Meaning of Cinco de Mayo

Descripción

It's a Friday, which means it's time for another Shoot Around — the show where we throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Big Shot Bob himself, Robert Horry, is back in the building for Episode 132, and this one goes all over the place. We kick things off reacting to Skip Bayless returning to First Take for a one-time reunion with Stephen A. Smith. Nobody asked for it, everybody's gonna watch it — including us. But it raises a fair question: are you tuning in because you actually enjoy them, or just because it's been so long that nostalgia has you by the throat? From there we got into what TV reunions we'd actually want to see, which somehow turned into Rob getting volunteered — live, on the spot — to host a new version of NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad's old job. He ran with it. Like, really ran with it. The man had co-host candidates locked and loaded (Cheryl Miller, Monica McNutt, and others get a mention), a vision for the show, and apparently more enthusiasm for a job he doesn't have than the one he does. Incredible. Then things got weird. A United Airlines plane clipped a bakery truck on the Jersey Turnpike on approach to Newark — and we had the audio. That set off a whole conversation about terrifying aviation moments, NBA team charter planes, which franchises had the nicest setups (Dallas and Portland apparently had the goods), and the time Rob was sitting next to Butter Bean on a late-night flight when the guy in front of them went completely still and his wife lost her mind thinking he was dead. Spoiler: sleep paralysis. A listener named Richie sent in a question after a wild JP Morgan story broke this week — a guy fabricated a sexual harassment case, it went everywhere before anyone fact-checked it, and the woman got dragged online for days before the truth came out. That opened the door for Rob to share a story he's apparently never told publicly: the time a woman he didn't even know filed a false harassment claim against him with the Lakers, complete with unsolicited fan mail that's... a lot. We won't spoil the details. But it ended with Rob's lawyer sorting it out after discovering the same woman had done it to three other people. We wrapped up with a question from Vic about the Mandalorian movie dropping near May the 4th, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Marvel is stuck in the same trap — giving away so much for free on streaming that nobody wants to pay for the theatrical version anymore. Then, naturally, it was Cinco de Mayo (Taco Tuesday edition), which meant Rob had to explain a very chaotic night in Austell, Georgia, a sombrero, a man in a full Transformer outfit, and getting home at 3 AM. Friday energy. All the way through.

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 135 – I Know a Pack of Kools When I Hear It

It's NBA Finals week, Game 2 is tonight, and the Shoot Around boys are doing exactly what they do on Fridays — talking about everything except the thing you'd expect them to talk about. They kick things off with a listener correction from Twitter — turns out the Coach of the Year who got fired before the award came in was Dwayne Casey, not Lloyd Pierce (Rob was close). From there it's a full dive into the hero-to-villain arc: OKC went from everyone's favorite upstart to the team everyone wanted to see lose, almost overnight. Rob points to the Kansas City Chiefs as the gold standard of that flip — and SGA's habit of spending time on the floor didn't exactly help Oklahoma City's cause this year. Then it's a two-part debate: who should retire and go to the broadcast desk, and who do you wish had kept playing? Russell Wilson heading to the CBS pregame show kicks things off, and the guys run through Draymond, Klay Thompson (Rob thinks he'd surprise people), Mike Trout, and Jameis Winston — who they both agree has a big bag waiting for him somewhere, whether it's Barstool or a network couch next to Shannon Sharpe and Gronk. On the comeback side — Serena Williams is returning to play doubles at the HSBC Championships, which gets them talking about who they'd most want to see suit back up. Rob's answer: Pete Sampras. Casual greatness, no ego, just stroll in and handle business. Brandon picks Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — two guys who deserved so much better than what Detroit gave them. And then the closer — the hot mic segment that was teased all week on Tuesday's show. LSU pitcher Devin Shearer gets warned by the umps, ESPN gets told to turn the field mics down, ESPN does not turn the field mics down. And then there's the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game, where an unidentified voice — still a mystery — delivered what might be the most unexpected phrase ever broadcast live on ESPN. Rob and Brandon's debate about who exactly says "ball sack" at a softball game is genuinely one of the funnier bits they've done. In this episode: * OKC's hero-to-villain arc — and the Kansas City Chiefs comparison * SGA's foul-baiting and why fans turned on Oklahoma City * Russell Wilson heads to CBS — who else should retire and hit the desk? * Klay Thompson as a broadcast sleeper pick * Jameis Winston's future: Barstool or network TV? * Shannon Sharpe and the importance of letting personalities breathe * Serena Williams making her doubles comeback at HSBC Championships * Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — the ones who got away * Rob Horry on Pete Sampras: the definition of casual greatness * LSU's Devin Shearer hot mic moment — ESPN was warned * The mystery 'ball sack' voice at the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game New episodes drop Tuesday and Friday. Subscribe and hit the bell so you're not late to the conversation. #ShootAround #BigShotBobPodcast #RobertHorry #NBAFinals #OKCThunder #KansasCityChiefs #SerenWilliams #BarrySanders #CalvinJohnson #PeteSampras #HotMic #CollegeSoftball #CollegeBaseball #ESPN #JameisWinston #KlayThompson #NBA #NFL 00:00 Intro — NBA Finals Week, Game 2 Tonight 00:30 Listener Correction: Dwayne Casey Coach of the Year 01:30 OKC's Hero-to-Villain Flip — How Did That Happen? 02:30 The Kansas City Chiefs: The Gold Standard of Villain Arc 04:00 SGA's Foul Baiting and Why Fans Turned on OKC 05:30 Tom Brady and Baseball PEDs — Other Hero-to-Villain Cases 05:45 Russell Wilson Retires, Heading to the CBS Desk 06:00 Who Should Retire and Go to the Broadcast Desk? 07:00 Klay Thompson as a Surprise Broadcast Pick 08:00 Mike Trout and the Angels' Wasted Talent Problem 08:30 Jameis Winston — Entertainment Value, Future in Media 09:30 Shannon Sharpe and Letting Personalities Be Themselves 10:30 Serena Williams Making Her Comeback at HSBC Championships 11:00 Who Do You Wish Had Kept Playing?
