The show is divided into 4 quarters(topics) 12 minutes, just like an NBA regulation game(running clock, of course). Brian and Ray will go back and forth on each topic, along with special guests(players, coaches, and media.) We'll also have an OT segment, but it won't be overtime. It's off-topic, where we touch on a subject not basketball-related./ hiqhoops / high_iq_hoopsBrian Isley:/ thebrianisley https://www.brianisleylive.com/Music by Tony Cobain"Game Time(High IQ Basketball Theme Song)"https://tidal.com/browse/artist/8541638Producer and comedian Neil Woodhttps://iamneilwood.com/https://www.jameswoodart.com/A DropTent Media Network production - https://droptent.com/See a local comedy show - https://droptent.com/biggest-little-c...1 hr 8 min - 389: Countdown of the Top 40 WrestleMania Matches in History ...

56 min - 384: Kayfabe: A Love Story with Dave Rueter
This week, the guys are joined by author Dave Rueter, who wrote Kayfabe: A Love Story, a fantastic look at the insane world of professional wrestling as if it were real life. Because kayfabe is alive and well, brother.
Dave takes us through his journey, some behind-the-scenes stories of how the book came to be, some of his favorite stories, and much more. If you have a taste for the 80s and early 90s nostalgia of professional wrestling, press play!
Get your copy of Kayfabe: A Love Story here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1735637041/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=
"On February 5th, 1988, former World Wrestling Federation Champion, Hulk Hogan, made a damning allegation. He accused "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase of fronting the bill for a desperate man's risky and invasive procedure: facial plastic surgery to look like referee Dave Hebner.
And I believed him.
Paying homage to 1987's WrestleMania III, Kayfabe: A Love Story is a collection of 87 essays written in an alternate universe where professional wrestling isn't scripted, and the match results aren't predetermined. So step around the shards of glass from the broken barbershop window and cozy up next to your favorite top turnbuckle, because A Love Story is indeed a happening."
