CzabeCast

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to talk about a big week for the NBA. The woeful Wizards, having won just 50 games in 3 years, are sitting at 1/1 in the draft. Dybansta or Peterson? Oftentimes, the worst of the two ends up totally sucking. Giselle posts an IG to her new beau on Father's Day. Dusty May gets out before the posse gets to Ann Arbor. Linda Cohn hangs 'em up. Durant needs to just stop talking. Save your cash, athletes. MORE.....

Czabe runs a crisp solo pod today... discussing how f'ing good ol' Team USA looks right now in the World Cup, group winners and ready to rest their loins before knockout play. What if we are *good* at soccer now? More news and notes from World Cup, plus the amount of people capeing up for a German tourist they don't know, have never seen, and will never meet, is simply astounding. Plus a tribute to the summer solstice and the greatest (new) video version of Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" I found on the interwebs. MORE....

ANDY POLLIN joins the show, and we'll find out if "mid-week Andy" is any more "fresh" than Monday Andy! His take on the Brendan Sorsby saga. The TT billionaire who is as clueless as he is rich. Andy's "Behind the Music" story on breaking into radio. Floyd Mayweather is broke. What a shock.

NICK LOCHNER of the "Cleansheet EPL" newsletter on the World Cup. It was a banger Tuesday, with the stars all shining. Who is this "Haaland" stud on Norway? Messi's hat trick. Andres Cantor's epic call. What's wrong with Ronaldo? MORE.....

Why the mediocre mind is obsessed (and panicked) about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire. ARMEN SARYAN and BRIAN BUTCH talk about the impending exit of one Milwaukee icon (Giannis) and the rise of a new one (The Miz!). Listener feedback and more.

Czabe re-caps the Knicks hammer close of the Spurs in Game 5 to claim the title. It's one of the most impressive runs an NBA team has ever made in the playoffs, full of domination, determination, and a few small miracles in between. Are the Knicks "likable?" Wemby is a dirty bitch. Be better, Frenchie. Monica McNutt's pseudo-apology. Announcers and ratings and more. NICK LAUGHNER of the "Clean Sheet EPL" talks USA Soccer's destruction of a better-than-you-know Paraguay side. Who is the "Flo" Bologun guy? Hydration breaks are the worst thing to happen to soccer since VAR. Unless... VAR is the new secret weapon against cancer. FreddyLA7 and his wild ride. Ben Affleck makes a ton of sense on social media and its ills. MORE.....

Czabe talks about "gettin' paid" and the humble obligations that *should* come with it. Unfortunately, as the money has gotten stupider in sports, so too have the people being showered with outrageous contracts. Czabe also reflects on what most bothered him about Wemby NOT having his obviously flagrant foul upgraded by the league on Tuesday. Then, friend of the show GIL ALEXANDER of VSiN joins to talk about the absurdity of the Brendan Sorsby ruling in court that allows him to play. How is the city of Vegas enjoying the Golden Knights ride? Will the town ever come to love the Athletics? Plus, when it comes to betting on the World Cup, pay close attention to the new rules on getting out of the group stage! MORE....

The Spurs delivered a sharp counter-blow to the Knicks on Monday night. Czabe stayed up late, watched the whole damn game, and took copious notes. Will you care? Or appreciate? Maybe, maybe not. But he isn't runnin' from the grind! World Cup preview with NICK LAUGHNER of "The Clean Sheet EPL" on how this Cup tournament will certainly be different, but it never seems to disappoint. Plus, would you like to guzzle some of Tom Brady's "delicious nut?" I thought so.....
