TBLS EP 591 Introduction and show info (0:00) The hosts, Brian Beckner and Ed Daily, introduce themselves and the show, noting that it's episode 591 and "seems like just yesterday we did 500." They confirm that the show is likely to end on December 31st of this year. They also provide contact information: "mailbag at the baller lifestyle.com" for emails, a phone number for voicemails, and a reminder to subscribe to their Patreon for bonus content. Michigan Football and Biff Pogge (1:05) The hosts discuss the suspension of Michigan's coach, which they assume is related to the "whole Connor Stallions thing." They are surprised to learn that Biff Pogge is the interim coach for the next two games, recalling him from a previous podcast episode and describing him as a "blast from our past." A discussion of past podcasts (3:08) The hosts lament never getting around to doing their NFL preview for the season. They reflect on the increasing shortness of their shows and joke about the pre-show routine involving Brian eating half a watermelon, which he says "is my pre-show snack ritual." People who died this week (4:23) The hosts list several people who have recently passed away: Cigar Kundu (4:23), a 22-year-old YouTuber from Bangladesh who died after slipping and falling into a waterfall. Ken Dryden (6:08), a "six-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender" for the Montreal Canadiens. Davey Johnson (6:52), "the 86 Mets manager." George Raveling (7:48), a Hall of Fame basketball coach who famously secured the original copy of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, which is now on display in a museum. Graham Green (9:05), an actor known for his role in Dances with Wolves. Sports stories (11:25) The hosts discuss a series of bizarre sports events: A Missouri fan at the Kansas game "just kinda walks onto the field and kicks a field goal at the Kansas sideline" out of spite. A Phillies fan who loudly demanded a home run ball from a man and his son, which Brian describes as "a disgusting example of fandom." The controversy surrounding Laura Rutledge's "burner account" on X (formerly Twitter), which she allegedly used to "defend her husband." Miscellaneous topics (16:35) They talk about James Dolan, the New York Knicks owner, who allegedly "digitally edited his own face onto a munchkin in a Wizard of Oz show" for the Sphere. They also mention a story about the Clippers getting a "ridiculous tree-planting donation that's tied to their salary cap," which they joke is a "weird, weird scandal." Voicemails (20:30) They attempt to play listener voicemails but are hampered by technical difficulties. Brian notes, "The voicemails are not working, which they never do." Ed also gives an update on his injured toe, saying he had to "pop it back in" after it was dislocated. More voicemails and a Christmas mug (23:05) They successfully play voicemails from "Katie Shady" and "LSU." Brian shares a story about seeing a man "drinking from a Christmas mug in September." Conclusion (25:07) The hosts wrap up the episode. Ed brings up his "half birthday," which is coming up this week on September 11th. Brian thanks the listeners and signs off, stating, "My name is Brian Beckner. This has been episode number 591 of the Ball Lifestyle podcast. We will see you next week. Goodbye."
