From bar-hopping at CMA Fest with Jason Aldean's band to scheduled high school fights at 3 pm sharp, this episode of Try That in a Small Town is all about chaos, consequences, and the crazy ways we somehow survive it all. The guys kick things off with surgery scars, locked-up backs, and near misses in the garage, then pivot into behind-the-scenes CMA Fest stories, in-ear monitor nightmares, and why late-night stadium sets grind down even veteran players. They talk Morgan Wallen flipping pianos and throwing phones, Taylor Swift's historic new country single tied to Toy Story 5, and how modern country production has become so “perfect” it's almost personality-free. Things get heavier when they unpack the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing at a track meet, race narratives in the media, and what real self-defense is—and isn't—when someone pulls a knife. They contrast that with a powerful small-town hero story: a Gwinnett County officer who saves a 7-year-old launched through a windshield. In classic TTIAST fashion, the crew rounds it out with songwriting pet peeves, delusional DMs from strangers wanting co-writes and video calls, bullying stories that still haunt them, and how golf, TV binges, and pizza reviews are getting them through recovery. 01:30 Surgeries, brutal bruises, allergic reactions to bandages and upcoming product bans in Tennessee 04:40 Locked-up back on the toilet, crawling across the house and day-three recovery status 06:30 Surviving CMA Fest: bar crawl sets, in-ear monitor disasters and playing blind on stage 09:45 Bar energy vs stadium distance and podcast fans popping up at shows 11:15 Late-night stadium headlining slot, fried fans, and what TV does to show times 14:00 Original Glory and Patriot Mobile sponsor segments 15:10 Learning piano one-handed after surgery, Jingle Bells, and mining TV shows for song ideas 17:50 TV recs: Life After Lockup, The Invisible Pilot, and Cape Fear reboot 20:20 NBA and Stanley Cup talk: Knicks' huge comeback, Wembanyama, and why some tuned out the NBA 22:45 Trump at the Garden, celebrity courtside culture, and politics vs respect for the office 24:40 Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 country single and the business behind her return to the format 29:00 Why modern country records all sound the same and the few acts still using their own bands 31:40 Morgan Wallen: “I Ain't Coming Back” lyric love, phone toss, piano flip and Billy Joel's defense 36:30 Wild private plane trip with Morgan Wallen, crass “rich buddies” and what stuck with Kalo 38:20 Post-surgery meds, apologizing to Neil, and the nurse/dong/stripper one-liner 41:10 Group shave before a heart cath and hospital humor 42:00 CMA Fest nights with Luke Bryan at his bar, tequila overload and four-day hangovers 44:10 Dipshits of the week: insane video chat requests, song pitches, and social media entitlement 47:00 Fans demanding co-writes and “brain picking” vs actually earning a seat at the table 50:40 The worst song “idea” ever: Cats in the Cradle… but backwards 55:00 Young writers sliding into DMs, asking for writes and coffees, and basic industry etiquette 58:40 Nearly gassing yourself in a closed garage while checking mixes: calling dipshit on yourself 1:01:40 Drone-rescue story: Apache down, surviving in the water and next-level military tech 1:05:30 Golf injuries, steroids on the road, and fighting to stay in playing shape 1:07:10 The Carmelo Anthony–Austin Metcalf stabbing: facts, sentencing and race narratives 1:12:10 Media framing, self-defense vs murder, and how race gets injected into every case 1:16:00 Scheduled school fights at the park, bus brawls and why nobody brought knives back then 1:19:40 Getting drilled in the face for knocking a kid's basketball away: lesson learned 1:20:30 One cold jab to the nose and understanding when you've gone too far 1:22:10 The bully who made you fast: getting wrecked in pickup football and later asking for tickets 1:24:20 Small Town Big Story: Officer Ariana James saves a 7-year-old thrown from a truck in Gwinnett County 1:26:10 Closing: Peacemaker Coffee, shoutout to listener Ed, scheduled fights and listener call-to-action ______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time since 1973, and the crew kicks off the show by discussing what the title means for New York fans and the league as a whole. They debate whether the Knicks have surpassed the Dallas Cowboys as "America's Team" and explore why Madison Square Garden continues to hold a unique place in sports. The conversation shifts to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. The hosts discuss Wembanyama's growing edge, his physical style of play during the Finals, and whether the NBA needs more rivalries and villains to bring back some of the intensity that defined previous eras of basketball. The crew also takes a closer look at De'Aaron Fox and the costly decisions he made during the Finals. Was it simply a bad stretch of basketball, or were the mistakes so unusual that comparisons to the now-infamous "Sorsby" label are fair? The guys debate whether pressure, injuries, or the moment itself contributed to Fox's struggles. The discussion then turns to Brendan Sorsby and the latest chapter in one of college football's most talked-about stories. With Sorsby stepping away from competition amid ongoing controversy, the hosts discuss whether the decision was truly his own, the role of the NCAA and the Big 12, and whether the outcome was inevitable. The episode wraps up with a look at Sorsby's NFL future. The crew examines the Supplemental Draft process, discusses where they value Sorsby as a prospect, and debates whether NFL teams will be willing to take a chance on him despite the off-field headlines.

Jason defines how sports today fail to deliver role models. In fact, Jason proclaims sports justify bad behavior. Whether it's Victor Wembanyama failing to congratulate the Knicks at the conclusion of the NBA Finals, Caitlin Clark flopping and whining on the court, or UFC fighter Josh Hokit blaring out that Michelle Obama “is a man,” sports all too often send the wrong message. Steve Kim, Dre Baldwin, and Virgil Walker join Jason to discuss whether Gregg Popovich has ruined Wemby; whether the antics of Caitlin Clark fanatics are ruining her; Charles Barkley protecting San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson because he is black; and Josh Hokit insulting Michelle Obama. ​​Today's Sponsors: Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/fearless and use promo code FEARLESS to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

For the first time since 1973 the New York Knicks are NBA champions, and they did it the hard way: down double digits in every single game and still standing alone on the mountain.Mo and two-time NBA championship coach Brendan Suhr break down a Finals that says something bigger about how you actually win in this league. Listen or watch as they make the case that the Knicks just buried the "you need a top-five superstar" myth, with Jalen Brunson's monster closeout, Karl-Anthony Towns answering every soft label, OG Anunoby and a bench that refused to break.Then the other side of it: a young Spurs team that overachieved to even get here and then lost the same way every night. Brendan goes inside why "five out" basketball stops working in June, why it was never an analytics game, and what San Antonio has to fix this summer around Wembanyama, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. Mo makes his case on the De'Aaron Fox contract and who should really be running point in San Antonio (Brendan does not fully agree).Plus the offseason is already here: the hosts split on where Giannis lands, the Jaylen Brown and Trey Murphy dominoes, and how the East stacks up for next season.

Is Victor Wembanyama already being unfairly judged?In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down one of the most misunderstood plays of the NBA Finals, explains exactly what happened on the late-game miscommunication between Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, and examines why so many analysts are rushing to conclusions about Wembanyama's future before his first Finals run is even complete.Ric also dives into the growing problem of hot-take sports coverage, why context is disappearing from modern analysis, how championship players are actually built, and why comparisons involving stars such as Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards often miss the bigger picture.Plus, Ric explains why FIFA's new replay system should serve as a blueprint for the NBA and what the league can learn from soccer's efforts to eliminate flopping and officiating mistakes.Time Stamps00:00 – Intro and why sports analysis needs more context 01:40 – The danger of watching games with preconceived conclusions 03:15 – Why great analysts are harder to find than ever 04:40 – ESPN, NBA coverage and the value of expertise 06:45 – Breaking down the controversial Game 2 turnover 08:00 – What Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle were actually thinking 10:20 – Why the play was a miscommunication, not a meltdown 10:50 – The rush to judge stars before a series is over 11:45 – Jalen Brunson, MVP talk and the importance of context 12:00 – The controversy over Wembanyama's physical play 13:15 – Why championship competition isn't always pretty 14:05 – What separates Wembanyama from today's stars 14:50 – Why Anthony Edwards still has another level to reach 16:25 – The championship mindset and Wembanyama's development curve 17:20 – How modern media rewards instant reactions over insight 18:35 – Ric's response to claims that Wembanyama lacks the clutch gene 19:45 – The real challenge facing the Spurs late in games 21:00 – Why every great big man needs a perimeter closer 22:10 – What makes Wembanyama's approach unique 23:45 – Why critics misunderstand his commitment to greatness 24:10 – Knicks vs. Spurs: Who is actually the better team? 26:30 – USA-Paraguay, flopping and soccer's replay revolution 27:45 – Why the NBA should copy FIFA's new replay rule 29:10 – Final thoughts#NBAFinals #VictorWembanyama #Spurs #Knicks #JalenBrunson #AnthonyEdwards #NBAPlayoffs #NBAAnalysis #RicBucher #OnTheBall #UnitedWeCast #BasketballSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Joe and Hollywood break down the Spurs' stunning late-game collapse, focusing on De'Aaron Fox's critical mistake where he failed to dribble out the clock and instead opened the door for the Knicks' historic comeback. The guys debate whether San Antonio should have put the final possession in Victor Wembanyama's hands, while also pointing to missed free throws from Wembanyama as another turning point in a disastrous finish.

The segment wraps with comparisons to infamous collapses in sports history, including the Falcons' 28-3 Super Bowl loss, as Joe questions whether this kind of defeat could leave a lasting scar on the franchise.

The guys scrutinize Fox's veteran leadership, Wembanyama's missed free throws, and the Spurs' overall panic down the stretch, comparing the meltdown to historic collapses like the Falcons blowing a 28-3 Super Bowl lead, with Joe questioning whether this kind of loss can damage a young franchise long-term. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins, who quietly extend Aaron Brewer and continue what's been a drama-free offseason, before circling back to the ongoing Brendan Sorsby college football situation and its ripple effects. The hour wraps with a wide-ranging mix of sports and off-field storylines, including NBA Finals fallout, the Marlins' strong play, Patrick Mahomes' massive new contract extension, rumors involving Mike Vrabel, lighthearted relationship and “swingers” jokes, and global sports chatter as the World Cup begins with Joe picking Portugal while also discussing Team USA's chances

The NBA has clearly stated a desire to expand its footprint in Europe. Jason claims that the preferential treatment afforded to French San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama directly correlates with that of the European audience after he avoided a flagrant foul in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Furthermore, Jason is perplexed by Wemby's apparent no-show for the national anthem before Game 3. Wemby has been designated a “made man” by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Steve Kim adds his take on Wemby, in addition to Stephen A. Smith challenging President Donald Trump during a "First Take" diatribe on ESPN, and Pat McAfee is apparently in talks with ESPN for an extension, with the floor being $60 million per year. Maurice Drake Jr. and Charles Baker join Jason for the latest edition of As the WNBA Turns, with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever being the focal point. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Opie is exhausted but absolutely fired up in this episode!

Plus Ron the Waiter is back with laughs, Knicks strategy breakdowns (Wembanyama terror, turnovers, refs), Opie's chaotic beach move day, raccoon problems, the tick-removal flamethrower fund, and classic Opie & Ron chaos.If you love raw, no-filter sports talk mixed with politics, NYC life, and comedy — this is the episode.
