Summary
Joe Vardon from The Athletic joins Bobby to talk about NBA storylines, including LeBron’s future, what could happen with Giannis, and how the Cavs have turned things around. He also shares the hilarious behind-the-scenes story of accidentally walking in on Eric Church mid-massage. Plus, Bobby gets into what Matthew McConaughey is really like after meeting him and whether he feels more like a character or just a regular guy. The guys also break down the 9x9x9 challenge, debate if it is actually doable, and Kickoff Kevin explains why he misses the old Tom Brady before the fashion shows and post-retirement spotlight.
