We Roast Everybody
Our fussy fellas open by reflecting on the Kentucky Derby and throwing their predictions Under The Bus, along with the broadcast coverage of the race and flopping favorite Fierceness. The grumpy GOATs riff on The Roast of Tom Brady and get in a couple digs of their own, and resident Swiftie Curry Kirkpatrick manages to work Tay-Tay into the conversation.
Our impassioned panel can't come to an agreement on whether the New York Knicks' Game 1 win over the Pacers was legitimate, with in-house NYC homer Rich Basirico grinning while Curry and Bob Stevens lambast the officiating down the stretch, but they reach a consensus that the challenge system sucks and agree Donte DiVincenzo should be up for a Tony for his late flop. Your favorite curmudgeonly commentators show love for the Minnesota Timberwolves, shouting out the Stifle Tower and the Ant Man, and wondering whether anyone can stop them.
Coach B blasts LeBron's hijacking of the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching situation (and Curry sneaks in a Duke dig, naturally), Curry buzzes about the bees in Arizona, and Rich rants about Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton's plate approach (again). Plenty of umpires and referees end up Under The Bus, including one who tried to retire to Coach B on the spot before a game, but no more than the speedbumps that come from the NBA's "two-minute report" that throws shade on the refs.
Come for the sports banter, stay for the Kristi Noem jokes on this week's edition of Under The Bus!
