I can't lie. This episode is really about basketball. I just named it "Hoopz" because I was afraid nobody would listen to it. In this episode I talk about some of the basketball video games I played as a kid, playing basketball in my neighborhood as a kid, memories of my kids playing basketball at the YMCA, how Oklahoma City tried to steal the Hornets from New Orleans, and how we successfully stole the Supersonics from Seattle.

If it weren't for all the losing after the NHL trade deadline, that Bobby McMann move would have been the best ever? :45- Has golf become too predictable?

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Manji and co-host Uncle Diamond Dave Esler arrive on Thursday, March 26th locked in and ready to work. Dave opens the episode acknowledging a backdoor cover loss on Auburn from Wednesday before confirming the OKC-Boston play cashed and kept the audience in the green, then pivots immediately to a live golf position on Marco Pence at 43-to-1 at the Texas Children's Open, tied for the lead through seven holes before the afternoon wind picks up. Before the first baseball pitch is handicapped, Munaf drops significant league news, as two NBA expansion franchises have been formally approved by the Board of Governors, one heading to Las Vegas and the other returning professional basketball to Seattle for the first time since the SuperSonics departed for Oklahoma City. The NBA breakdown centers on the most meaningful game of a thin three-game Thursday slate, the New York Knicks traveling to Charlotte to face the Hornets as 1.5-point home favorites with a 222.5 total. Dave makes the case for a first-half under, noting that Charlotte's recent win streak has been built almost entirely against bottom-of-the-standings teams and at home, while Munaf backs the Knicks plus the points after pointing out the Hornets hold a 19-24 record against above-.500 opponents this season. The real work of the episode is Opening Day itself, and the hosts cover three full games with methodical depth. Red Sox at Reds features Garrett Crochet at -163 against Andrew Abbott, and both hosts identify the first-five under and the Cincinnati run line as the sharper plays rather than following the public money on Boston, with Dave raising valid concerns about relying on Crochet's strikeout prop at 7.5 given Opening Day pitch count management. Tigers at Padres brings Tarik Skubal to Petco Park to face Nick Pivetta, and Munaf delivers a detailed case for the Padres plus odds, citing Pivetta's seven shutout innings against Detroit last April, his 0.99 WHIP and 8-1 home record in 2025, and a San Diego bullpen built to close games. The evening game at Dodger Stadium pits Zach Gallen against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Dave and Munaf both gravitate toward unders, with an alternate first-five total of 5.5 as the cleaner entry, while Munaf notes that Yamamoto's career home ERA of 1.33 against Arizona and his tendency to finish Opening Day starts around 72 to 90 pitches complicates any strikeout prop that requires a deep outing. Dave closes with his best bet on the Orioles-Twins first-five under 4.5, crediting Trevor Rogers and Joe Ryan as two elite early-innings arms, and uses the moment to reflect openly on a 2025 baseball season where his top-rated plays were profitable but overall volume worked against him, committing to a tighter, sharper approach in 2026. Munaf's best bet is the Padres money line at +113. The episode closes with a mention of the Pregame.com season-long baseball package available at $15 off with promo code MVP15, and a preview of Friday's episode covering Sweet 16 results, more MLB action, and a look at the NBA standings.

Should the NBA expand? There are a lot of questions being asked about whether or not the NBA can handle expansion when they haven't figured out how to stop tanking yet. Are there enough good players to add two new teams to the league or will the talent get too watered down? Would either of these issues prevent the league from voting yes on expansion? :30- We are one sleep away from Opening Day and we have more business to take care of… Yesterday we came up with our options for the Mariners winning song, but what about a losing song? We have to accept that they'll lose at least 10 or 15 games this year, right? :45- Who could step in as the new head basketball coach at UNC?

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is set to meet with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver again, fueling speculation about a potential NBA expansion in Seattle. The potential return of the SuperSonics has been a long-discussed topic, and these meetings suggest that progress is being made. However, questions linger about the financial implications for Washington residents and whether this focus is truly beneficial for the state. Critics argue that Ferguson should prioritize pressing issues like infrastructure and public safety over sports entertainment. The meeting raises concerns about potential tax burdens and the overall impact on Washington's economy. Is this a slam dunk for the state, or a costly gamble?

Washington State is considering a new 'Millionaires Tax,' and a hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. The proposed tax has raised concerns about its potential impact on professional sports teams like the Seattle Seahawks and the possibility of losing the NBA's SuperSonics again. Supporters argue it will generate revenue for essential services, while critics fear it could drive high-income earners and businesses out of the state, ultimately harming the economy. Chris Daniels from KOMO News reports on the debate and the potential consequences for Washington's economy and sports scene. Will this tax help the state, or will it send millionaires packing? We break down the arguments from both sides.
Good morning, America, and welcome to the only show reckless enough to record live during a playoff-intensity hockey game before most of the country has located its coffee.This week, we hit the microphones at dawn because somewhere in Milan, the schedule makers decided that U.S. versus Canada should be settled at an hour normally reserved for bakers and dairy cows. So yes, the game is on in the background. Yes, it's chippy. And yes, you may hear spontaneous reactions that are either patriotic or deeply unhealthy. Possibly both.From Olympic controversy and curling drama to tainted gold medals and athletic oversharing, we begin on the ice and then glide straight into the strange modern obsession with identification. Birth certificates. Real ID. The SAVE Act. Politicians who somehow travel internationally while claiming documents are impossible to find. If that sounds improbable, buckle up.Then we detour through Seattle sports economics, millionaire taxes, the ghost of the SuperSonics, and why professional teams flee faster than common sense in an election year.It's hockey. It's politics. It's technology. It's snow-covered New York streets and two forms of ID.In other words, it's another perfectly normal episode of What The Frock.
This mix celebrates one of reggae's most iconic and influential voices, bringing together 18 tracks that showcase the incredible range and legacy of the one and only U-Roy. U-Roy, born Ewart Beckford in 1942 in Kingston, Jamaica, is widely regarded as the Originator and Godfather of Toasting, the vocal style that laid the foundation for what would eventually become rap and hip hop. Emerging from the vibrant sound system culture of 1960s Jamaica, U-Roy pioneered the art of toasting, improvising spoken word lyrics and ad-libs over existing riddims and rocksteady rhythms. His breakthrough came in 1970 when he simultaneously held the top three spots on the Jamaican charts, an unprecedented feat that announced the arrival of a revolutionary new voice in reggae music. Over a career spanning more than five decades, U-Roy collaborated with some of reggae's greatest names, including Big Youth, The Gladiators, Hopeton Lewis, and Cornell Campbell, cementing his status as a true cornerstone of the genre. His influence extended far beyond Jamaica, inspiring generations of DJs, toasters, and MCs worldwide. U-Roy continued recording and performing well into his later years, earning lifetime achievement recognition and the deep respect of artists across multiple genres. He passed away in February 2021, leaving behind a catalog that remains as vital and infectious as ever, making this 18-song mix a fitting tribute to one of music's true originals.

That Super Bowl was a stinker…but at least Bad Bunny showed up. We break down everything from a flat game and a halftime show that saved the night, to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs seemingly splitting in real time. There was a streaker, Hall of Famers reminding us we're getting old, and somehow Pete Rose catching strays. Then things get weird. 49ers DT Keion White reportedly gets shot in the ankle after a post–Super Bowl club altercation with Lil Baby. We debate who actually had the worst Super Bowl night during Sip, Chug, Drainpour. And yes, we ask the important legal question about streakers. Lou Holtz joins us for a Winter Olympics update that includes: • Ski jumpers allegedly injecting hyaluronic acid to gain suit advantages • His thoughts on the Super Bowl halftime show • Team USA taking silver in curling • Why Skeleton is completely unhinged • And whether hockey neck guards are going to feel weird forever Plus: • North Dakota State officially making the jump to FBS • Pitchers and catchers reporting (hope season is here) • The Rangers' incredible Nolan Ryan bloody jersey giveaway • ScottSki45 Stat of the Week • Giannis catching heat over his partnership with Kalshi • NBA expansion drama and why Seattle better not get their colors messed with • Artemi Panarin's jersey number situation in LA • And beer recaps to close it out It was chaotic. It was ridiculous. It was absolutely a show.
Seattle doesn't experience big moments the way other cities do. Here, history is always in the room. Host Danny Ball sits down with Seattle sports legend Mike Gastineau for a wide-ranging conversation on why this Seahawks Super Bowl run feels bigger than just football and why longtime Seattle fans instantly recognize the energy behind this team. From the echoes of the SuperSonics era to the heartbreaks and near-misses that shaped Seattle's sports identity, Danny and Gas connect the past to the present. They break down how this Seahawks team, led by head coach Mike Macdonald and quarterback Sam Darnold, has reignited championship belief across the city and why this Super Bowl moment feels different from past runs. The conversation stretches beyond the Xs and Os of the Super Bowl, touching on legacy, culture, and the emotional weight Seattle fans carry into moments like this. From the 95 Mariners to the Sonics' golden years, this Seahawks run fits into a much longer story, one where belief, resilience, and timing collide at the biggest stage in sports. This isn't just about a football game. It's about what happens when the Seattle Seahawks don't just win, but tap into shared memory, city pride, and the unmistakable feeling that Seattle knows this moment because it's lived it before.

Bob Ferguson held a conversation with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as the league considers future expansion, with Seattle identified as a possible destination and state leaders expressing interest in the return of the SuperSonics. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/sports/washington-governor-talks-potential-return-of-supersonics-with-nba-commissioner/ #NBA #SuperSonics #WashingtonState #SeattleSports #NBANews

Join us at Town Hall Seattle for As Many Weirdos As Possible (AMWAP), an evening of storytelling and portraiture that brings to life one of the most vibrant chapters of the Pacific Northwest music scene (1985-1995). This live program will feature musicians, artists, and community members sharing personal memories, projected alongside their documentary portraits as part of the ongoing AMWAP project. Drawn from Poser Productions' mission to preserve and celebrate personal and cultural histories, this evening invites audiences to engage in a communal reflection on memory, music, identity, and place. Hosted by Nabil Ayers, President of Beggars Group U.S. and author of My Life in the Sunshine, whose work and story are deeply rooted in Seattle's independent music and cultural legacy. Nabil Ayers is a longtime Seattleite who co-founded Sonic Boom Records in 1997 and played drums in several bands — most recently The Long Winters. He now lives in Brooklyn, where he is president of the Beggars Group of record labels. Ayers is the host of the Identified podcast and the author of the memoir My Life in the Sunshine (Viking), which he launched at Town Hall in 2022. He has written about music, race, and family for The New York Times, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, GQ, and NPR. Riz Rollins has loved music since childhood, bringing joy to dance floors from clubs like Re-bar, to parties, parades and festivals. For over thirty-five years, he has shared the music that shaped his life and our community on KEXP. Marco Collins was the guy behind the mic when Seattle accidentally unleashed grunge on the world. As flagship DJ and Music Director at 107.7 The End in the '90s, he helped break bands like Nirvana, Beck, Weezer, and Foo Fighters—shaping the sound of a generation in real time. He's worked across radio, labels, VH1, and stations like KEXP, but what really sets him apart is an obsessive love of music that's never once hit the snooze button. He's also the subject of The Glamour & The Squalor, a documentary chronicling his rise, fall, and refusal to shut up about bands you haven't heard of yet. Steven Severin is co-owner of Neumos, Barboza, The Runaway Bar, and Life on Mars. He has served on Bumbershoot's Advisory Board and worked extensively with the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) to help secure the federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grant that saved independent venues during the COVID pandemic. He recently launched Walk Don't Run, a community art event activating downtown Seattle with music, visual art, and live performance. He's also spent nearly a decade with Save Our Sonics, advocating to bring the SuperSonics back to Seattle. Paul Schurr played bass and sang backup vocals for Flop and Best Kissers in the World in the early 90s. He and his wife have four kids and live in Seattle. Sheila Locke has been a force in Seattle's music scene for over forty years as a DJ, radio host, club owner, artist manager, and co-founder of NASTYMIX Records, original home of Sir Mix-A-Lot. From her first high school gig to breaking national ground with a gold record, she has left an indelible mark on the city's music history. Chenelle "Chelly Chell" Marshall is a writer, poet, and creative spirit. She was a member of The Incredicrew, one of Seattle's earliest rap groups, who signed a multi-album deal with the label Ever Rap. Their single "He's Incredible" became a local hit and a landmark moment in Seattle's music history. Today, Chenelle continues to share her voice through poetry and storytelling and is the author of Poetic Lifeline. Her latest work, Through the Eyes of Her, is available now. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Poser Productions. Poser Productions is fiscally sponsored by Shunpike.
Danny Ball interviews the father-son duo Will Conroy Sr. and Will Conroy Jr., exploring their deep connections to basketball, particularly within Seattle. They discuss the cultural impact of the Sonics, their personal basketball journeys, and the evolving landscape of youth basketball, including the influence of NIL and AAU. The conversation also touches on the importance of community in Seattle basketball, memorable experiences at the Crawsover, and reflections on family dynamics in sports, particularly in light of LeBron and Bronny James. The episode concludes with insights into their future aspirations in basketball and hope for the SuperSonics return.

The guys didn’t like ESPN’s quarter century team so they made their own Broncos-specific quarter century team.

Russ’ delusions of grandeur, the Broncos’ new head nerd makes a bad first impression, Game 7 pulls in good ratings with a bad celebration, and justice may finally come for the Supersonics.
In the third hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain chat with SuperSonics legend Lenny Wilkens about his new statue, the 1979 title, and hopeful Sonics return, then the guys discuss Cal Raleigh’s big home run numbers plus the Sounders in the Club World Cup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
