Marshall Harris 0:33

like it. Twenty twenty six, playoffs for everyone.

Playoffs for everyone, or at least two of the teams so far. Stop trying to wish cast the Bulls into this. They scored thirty three points and a half last night.

Ed Larson 0:48

down, bro. Slow down, bro. Basellus had twenty six last night. That's the only guy I care about really.

Mark Grote 1:00

Marshall Harris 1:01

from the field.

Mark Grote 1:02

How about that dunk the other day by uh Buzella? That was so good. That was so good.

Vinny Rotino 1:06

It was. Anytime you can get the extension.

Mark Grote 1:08

Anytime you can get the guys on the bench jumping out Vooch of it like jumping out of your like you can't control your body. Vooch doesn't even get up like that anymore. No, and he it reminded me of so you know it's organic.

What memorable dunk moments sparked the early excitement in the show?

Mark Grote 1:18

It reminded me of the Derek Rose dunk uh against Drogic and Phoenix and watching my favorite part of that dunk is watching the Phoenix bench react. Even they couldn't help themselves. They were contort they were getting out of their seats and contorting themselves and doing the whole thing. It It's beautiful.

Marshall Harris 1:34

I ducked on so hard he's like, I need to be a Chicago bull. And he became one and he was a bad boy. He

Vinny Rotino 1:38

was but he was such a good sport about it too. Once he came here, he had he was such a good sport about all of it. Like he had fun with the dunk, he had fun with the discussion. Do you know how I love Goran Drogic? I feel like he was such a truth teller that season too. Like I heard goodly. We

Ed Larson 1:54

passed. Did not do him like that. What are you doing, Dragons? Did you not get the memo? Derek Bowes can go upstairs.

Vinny Rotino 2:07

The best let it be known that in my opinion, the best play in a basketball game is one that gets people out of their seats, the fans, and then they run around. When when you love it so much you run around like in

Mark Grote 2:17

Cerge, you do love it. Yes,

Vinny Rotino 2:18

yes, yes. That's that's that's when it's the best.

Mark Grote 2:22

You can't control your body. That's that's great.

Vinny Rotino 2:24

And frankly, I feel like that is kind of the mood when we discuss this topic is Kevin Byrd talked about on the Bussin with the Boys podcast what it's like playing in Chicago when that's the emotion. You know, the did you not get the memo, for example, when the teams are playing well, and also, you know, versus say where he was before with the Titans. Take a listen.

Unknown 2:49

So you start 0-2. What's that noise like in that building compared to the Titans? Bro, it's heavy. Like I will say, so you know how we have like TVs, we got TVs run a facility. And in our our hydro area where the hot tubs and the cold tubs is, three TVs in there. One TV is always like on Fox Sports or something like that. Colin Callhart, I think is his name.

3:09

Yeah.

How does playing in Chicago’s big‑market affect player pressure and media scrutiny?

Unknown 3:09

So he does his sports every day. Call Colin Cowhart. Yeah. Powhart, I'm sorry. I mean the butcher's name. But bro, this guy every single day talks about the Chicago Bears. Like every time I feel like I go in there, he's talking about Caleb Williams and how bad the Bears suck or whatever it may be. But it's bad, bro. Like you said, in in Tennessee, you really realize like how How light the media is. Like normally, you know, if you're doing well, they're talking good about you, but it's not a whole lot of negative media people outside of Paul Corrins. We all know Paul. Good fans of Paul, good friends. Yeah. Uh but no, it's heavy, bro. And it's it's very it's a city that it can divide the players and the team real quick.

Unknown 3:47

Cause everybody hear the noise. I mean, you know how people go into the their their medias, their press conferences be like, You know, we're we're ignoring the noise. We're not like it's impossible, bro. And anybody that says that is lying. We all know that everybody re gets on Twitter, Instagram, and sees the stuff that people say about 'em, especially this generation, bro.
