The boys are back for Episode 80, though one OG is missing this week as Pat couldn’t make it. Thankfully, super sub Mike Paston steps in once again to fill the seat. The hosts kick things off with their Random Questions of the Day, where the topic is things they’ve done once but would never do again, and Paston quickly delivers an absolute nightmare story about parasailing.
From there, the opening segment takes a different turn than usual. Normally the boys love to rant and complain, but this week they focus on happy thoughts, and the hosts show their softer side. Yep, today they share the small things in life that make them smile, including being on college campuses, the first snowfall of the year, sitting by a firepit, and several other simple joys. Very kumbaya of them.
Next up is Hot Takes, where Paston sounds off about unruly fans at sporting events, and Bill feels terrible for Sugar Shane Lowry after his brutal collapse at the Cognizant Classic. The Sandman also sparks an interesting conversation when he complains about why MLB teams don’t call up top prospects sooner. Then Bierman shows a recent all-time rant from a college basketball coach and asks whether those types of meltdowns actually work to get teams back on track.
Then it’s time for Stone Cold Locks, where each host gives three picks to finish in the top 10 at this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
The episode wraps up with a hoops-themed Top 5, where they each rank their favorite college basketball players of all time with one big twist. None of the players can be in, or headed to, the Naismith Hall of Fame. That means these are legendary college players who didn’t necessarily have the same impact at the pro level. Some all-time names get thrown around, including Greg Oden, Larry Johnson, David West, and many more as the guys get fired up for March Madness.
Even without Pat, the boys power through and crank out another classic. Give it a listen and try to hold the applause until the end.
