In 1998, while a young Cassidy Hubbarth sat next to her mother on their couch in Chicago, yelling at the TV as the Bulls went for their second three-peat, Nikko Ramos was playing at recess in Manila, eagerly waiting for updates from “recess runners” who darted between the canteen and a payphone to relay the game's play-by-play from a cousin's bootleg satellite. A 13-hour time difference, a hazy satellite feed, and questionably-accurate third party updates wouldn't keep Filipino fans from the NBA finals. Today, according to the NBA's yearly surveys, 62% of the general population in the Philippines consider themselves NBA fans. 34% consider themselves avid NBA fans. That's the largest percentage of all countries. Coming from the Philippines, where the average height of men is 5'4”, one might wonder how Filipinos came to be obsessed with a sport usually played by the tallest people on the planet. Cassidy and Nikko explore the deep, colonial roots of basketball in the Philippines, the development of the second oldest professional basketball league in the world, and the creativity of Pinoy basketball fans both while playing and watching the game. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of "Last Call with Richard Crouse" we visit McSorley's Old Ale House on Seventh Street in New York's East Village. McSorley's may not be New York's oldest bar, the Bridge Café (dates to 1794), Ear Inn (circa 1817) and Chumley's (established 1830s) all predate John McSorley's business, but it is one of the most colourful. It's sometimes hard to sort between the fact and fiction that swirls around the bar's legend, but one thing is for sure, there is no arguing with their motto, “We were here before you were born.”At the afterparty Rafe Bartholomew stops by to talk about the bar where Abraham Lincoln once had a beer and its history. Rafe's father Bart worked there for 45 years, the family lived upstairs for a time and on the weekends he'd help his dad get the place up and running and later, in his twenties, he continued the family tradition and worked behind the bar. His book, "Two and Two: McSorley's, My Dad, and Me," is a great read about fathers, sons and one great bar.
