Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 128 – You’re Making It Worse, Steve

Robert Horry and the crew open Friday’s shootaround with a discussion of LA Sparks star Kelsey Plum launching a verified AI “digital twin” for real-time conversations, and debate what it says about modern social interaction and who from history they’d want to talk to via AI (including Thurgood Marshall), while also questioning whether they’d want a digital version of a deceased parent.   They pivot to a listener question about whether Joel Embiid deserves slack for early-career missed seasons, noting he’s played 91 games since winning MVP and arguing games still count because he was paid. The episode shifts to “dumbest fight” stories sparked by a wild Florida pickleball dispute, including Horry’s bar argument over an autograph and a college brawl after a spilled beer, before ending on Afroman’s police-raid saga, his defamation-court win, and his response through diss tracks and a patriotic tuxedo.   00:00 Friday Shoot Around Intro 00:51 Kelsey Plum AI Twin 02:49 Who Would You Talk To 05:35 Digital Afterlife Debate 06:44 Embiid Games Played Talk 09:53 Pickleball Fight Story 11:38 Dumb Fights Personal Tales 15:47 Quick Falcons Roster Aside 16:11 Afroman Courtroom Anthem 21:28 Wrap Up Reactions
