Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 137 – God Bless the Beaver

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 137 – God Bless the Beaver

It's Friday, which means it's Shoot Around time. Episode 137. Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are back with the fan questions that didn't make the Tuesday show — plus some detours that definitely weren't on the agenda.   First up: a listener asks whether certain championships just mean more than others. Brian Windhorst sparked the debate on ESPN comparing the Knicks title to the LeBron-Cleveland moment in 2016. Robert's answer might surprise you — for him personally, the 2005 title in San Antonio hit harder than any of the Lakers runs, and he explains why. B-Dog makes the case for Kobe's first ring without Shaq, and Rob gets into what the 2021 Braves World Series meant to him working inside that organization.   Then there's the World Cup. It's in America right now, and a viral video of a French guy experiencing Buc-ee's for the first time is basically the greatest piece of content on the internet. The guys use it as a jumping off point: what does a foreigner absolutely have to experience in the US? Waffle House at 2 AM makes the list. Soul food does too. Atlanta gets discussed at length, and Jameis Winston cleaning up a stadium in Dallas with Japanese fans is just a genuinely wholesome moment.   A listener question about Rick Brunson's courtside moment with Jalen after the title turns into one of the more personal conversations on the show — all three guys share a memory with their dads. Robert's involves sneaking candy into Silver Streak and a hard foul from his pops during a pickup game. Rob talks about a rough stretch with his father that got repaired when his daughter was born. Worth a listen.   From there: household chores, the great grocery shopping debate, Trader Joe's vegan oatmeal cookies vs. Thin Mints, and a final fan question about the wildest thing anyone's ever seen at a live sporting event. Robert tells a story from a Lakers-SuperSonics game that Phil Jackson definitely remembers. And somewhere in there, a bird dies at a Braves spring training game.   Episode 137 of the Shoot Around — every Friday on the Big Shot Bob Podcast feed.   🎙️ Subscribe for weekly NBA conversation, stories from inside the game, and Fridays with Shoot Around.   00:00  Intro — Shoot Around Episode 137 00:30  Fan Q: Do Some Championships Mean More? 01:00  Robert Horry: Why 2005 Meant the Most Personally 02:30  B-Dog: Kobe's First Ring Without Shaq 03:30  Rob: The 2021 Braves Run From the Inside 05:00  Frenchman Discovers Buc-ee's — The Viral Video 06:30  World Cup Atlanta: Spain vs. Cabo Verde 07:30  What Must Every Foreigner Experience in the US? 10:30  Fan Q: Rick Brunson Moment — Best Memory With Your Dad 11:00  Robert: Movies, Candy Smuggling & a Hard Foul From Pop 12:30  Rob: Baseball, Yankee Stadium & Fixing a Broken Relationship 15:30  Jameis Winston Cleans Up at the World Cup 17:00  What Are Your Household Chores? 19:30  Grocery Shopping, Snack Sabotage & Diet Struggles 21:00  Trader Joe's Cookies vs. Thin Mints Debate 23:00  Fan Q: Wildest Thing You've Ever Seen at a Live Event 24:00  Tarps Off — The MLB Trend Taking Over Stadiums 25:00  The Bird That Died at a Braves Spring Training Game 25:30  Robert's Wildest Arena Story: The Lakers-Sonics Game

Big Shot Bob – Ep 264 – The Spurs Got Deebo’d

After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are back to break down one of the wildest finals in recent memory — a series where San Antonio led for 72% of the total minutes and somehow lost in five.   Robert talks about what needs to change for Wemby — specifically, the weight room — and what Dillon Harper's role should actually look like moving forward. Is De'Aaron Fox on the hot seat? He's got four years and over $200 million coming, so the Spurs better hope he's got short-term memory. And was this the Knicks winning, or the Spurs just losing it? The guys go back and forth on that one, and honest answer is... both.   From Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history (Perk said greatest ever — the guys aren't buying it), to Karl-Anthony Towns FaceTiming Anthony Edwards after winning a ring, to the Knicks parade turning into a disaster with school buses on fire and 63 arrests — there's a lot to unpack from championship week in New York.   Also on the show: Draymond Green says European players are dirty, and Robert Horry has some thoughts on that. James Harden got pulled over at 4 AM with a handgun in his cup holder. The Bulls hired Tiago Splitter and Robert is thrilled it's not another guard. Big Shot of the Week goes to Amy Pye, a former Navy reservist from British Columbia who answered her door at 3 AM and saved a man's life. And the crew plays a special Championship Celebration Edition of Black Crime or White Crime — featuring naked Alabama fans, horse riders at Churchill Downs, and a guy swinging a metal flagpole at electrical wires.   Episode 264 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 136 – Evicted From Your Blanket Fort

It's Friday, so you know what that means — Shoot Around is back. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog run through everything that didn't make Tuesday's show, and this week that list is pretty loaded.   First up: the NBA's new 3-2-1 draft lottery. Quentin asked about it, and fair enough — they never got to it on the main show. Rob breaks down how it works (the lottery expands from 14 to 16 teams, and the three worst records in the league actually get their odds PULLED back), and Robert gives his honest reaction: he doesn't hate it, but he's not ready to fully buy in until he sees it play out. The Indiana Pacers situation this year is a perfect example of why this stuff gets complicated fast.   Then things get heavier. Brendon Sorsby — the Texas Tech quarterback who bet on his own games at Indiana — caught a two-game suspension and a $5 million deal. The guys go deep on what kind of message that sends across every roster in college football. Not just to stars, but to walk-ons and scholarship guys who know everything about their team and are getting nothing out of NIL. It's a messy situation and Robert and Rob don't hold back.   After that, a palate cleanser: Tom Brady launched a new coconut water brand, and the name is... Good Nut. B-Dog's face said it all. If you're listening and not watching, do yourself a favor and pull up the YouTube just for that reaction.   A listener question for Robert — what's the most unfortunate thing that ever happened to you in a game? The José Canseco ball-off-the-head moment from Joe Adell inspired this one. Robert's answer might surprise you. (Spoiler: his shorts have a starring role.)   And to close it out, the blanket fort world record. A Nevada high school student built a 14,000+ square foot fort in Las Vegas, which somehow leads to a full childhood memory throwback session. Sliding down hills on cardboard, building clubhouses in the woods, and getting evicted from your own blanket fort by your grandfather. All of it.   Topics covered this week: * NBA 3-2-1 draft lottery breakdown — what changed and why * Tanking debate: injuries, bad teams, and what actually counts as tanking * Brendon Sorsby, $5M deals, and a two-game slap on the wrist * Gambling in college sports — the double-edged sword nobody wants to admit * Walk-ons, NIL gaps, and insider info as a ticking time bomb * Tom Brady's coconut water brand, "Good Nut" * B-Dog's priceless reaction and the best disapproving head shake on YouTube * Robert Horry's most unfortunate moment on the court (and on TV) * Blanket fort world record and childhood memory lane   Subscribe so you never miss a Shoot Around or a Tuesday episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 263 – Cardi D’s

Episode 263 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. The Spurs just stole Game 3 in Madison Square Garden and suddenly we've got ourselves a real NBA Finals. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and Brandon Harper break it all down the morning after — from De'Aaron Fox's backseat tendencies to Wembanyama's growing confidence as an enforcer, to whether this Spurs team actually has what it takes to steal another one in New York.   Topics covered this week: * Spurs take Game 3 — what changed and what it means going into Game 4 * De'Aaron Fox settling for jumpers when he should be attacking the basket * Wemby's evolving physicality — is he figuring out he can get away with stuff? * Dylan Harper off the bench: why the rookie energy matters more than a starting spot * The chippy nature of this series — Hart's kick, Wemby's elbow, and whether any of it helps * Trump at MSG, the blowback, and some truly unhinged postgame scenes outside the Garden * Robert Horry saw Pop recently — how's Gregg Popovich doing? (Short answer: a lot better) * Rick Brunson's full-court dad moment in Game 2 * ESPN's AI Tony Parker disaster — and Robert finally getting his highlight reel moment * Sam Presti's "sixth defender" comments about SGA and social media criticism * Tribute to Stacey King, and Quinn Snyder's extension in Atlanta * Big Shot of the Week: Fourth-grader Magnolia Bridegroom saves her dad's life with CPR * Shootout is back — NBA Finals champions since 1999, MVPs who missed the Finals, oldest arenas, and more   Robert Horry is a seven-time NBA champion.

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.
