Then, Comedian and impressionist Frank Caliendo drops by the set after DP and the Danettes get to Vegas and brings a whole cast of characters with him, from Joe Biden to Jon Gruden to Morgan Freeman, and he even attempts an impression of Fritzy.

In the NBA, LeBron opens year 23 with another milestone, trade noise swirls early, and Detroit keeps rolling. In music, Wale returns with a new album and BigX sparks a debate about what it means to be an artist today.

In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down LeBron James' long-awaited season debut—and why the box score doesn't tell the truth about how the 40-year-old superstar actually looked against the Utah Jazz. Bucher digs deep into what LeBron's return means for the Lakers' chemistry, the Luka-LeBron power shift, and why L.A.'s defensive issues may only get tougher to solve.Ric also revisits his assessment of Anthony Davis, revealing how AD's early-career reputation, his time alongside LeBron, and his disappointing arrival in Dallas all add up to a harsh but honest conclusion: AD is not the franchise cornerstone many believed he could be. From conditioning concerns to effort questions, Bucher details why the Mavericks may already be ready to move on.Additional themes include: • The strategic way LeBron chose his comeback moment • How Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart's roles shift with LeBron back • Why the Lakers' starting lineup could repeatedly dig early holes • The true value of LeBron's leadership—and its limits at age 40 • How AD's upbringing, mentality, and playing style shaped who he is now • Why the “LeBron Effect” made AD look like a different player in L.A.Ric also previews upcoming episodes, teases his third book—on the value of being coachable—and highlights his other United WeCast Network shows, Finding The Seams and Fullcourt Passport.For authentic NBA insight you won't hear anywhere else, On The Ball delivers.#NBA #LeBronJames #Lakers #AnthonyDavis #LukaDoncic #Mavericks #NBAPodcast #RicBucher #UnitedWeCast #SportsAnalysis #BasketballDiscussion #NBA2025Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Brendan is off at Pinehurst in protest of the RSM Classic, his least favorite PGA Tour event, so PJ and Joseph LaMagna step in to preview the fall swing finale. PGA Tour Comms put out an unhinged list of five "Players to Watch" for the RSM which prompts a guessing game to kick off the show. Andy then goes down the list of every winner of the event and wonders if this is the worst winner's list of any full-field PGA Tour event. Although he's not a "Player to Watch," U.S. Am winner Mason Howell is in the field and playing with Davis Love III for the first two rounds. The CME Group Tour Championship rounds out a big week of LPGA news. Every round of the 2026 season will be broadcast on live TV with more cameras and microphones on the course to help facilitate this. Andy issues an apology for misidentifying Brooke Matthews as the winner of the Lamborghini on Monday's episode and quizzes PJ and Joseph on whether they'd even want the car after an ace. 43 LIV golfers will tee it up at the PIF Saudi International for some coffee golf in the U.S., but they're all dwarfed by Sampson Zheng for the purposes of this podcast (and the soundboard). LIV's offseason is underway and the first PGA Tour defection is in the books with Victor Perez heading to the Cleeks. Martin Kaymer is ecstatic about this acquisition and gave some glowing quotes about how Perez will further elevate the Cleeks brand. The three pitch some other LIV hot stove transactions, including two offers for one of the brightest young golf stars in the world! In news, former LIV star Henrik Stenson paid his DPWT fines and will be back on the tour for 2025 in some capacity. Andy wonders if this is all a ploy to get a second chance at a Ryder Cup captaincy now that the Euro pipeline seems dry. The Augusta Hooters was demolished on Tuesday but PJ already has a plan for another interview with John Daly next year. Finally, there's some general sports chatter to round out this episode with notes on the Colts, LeBron James, and a takedown of WWE.
