Dave Pasch does a really good job working with Walton. Doesnt really get fazed by any of the sideshow going on next to him.
Pasch is a vet and plays a good straight man. He's been with Bill for a few years now, they've developed a decent rapport.
He really is my favorite. I would love to just hang out with him for a day or two. Would probably be fucking awesome.
Bill is tired of Lunardi talking about those truck stop leagues. Please. Time to talk about the conference of champions.
Hahaha not really. My brother was good friends with luke growing up, played in the same basketball teams for a while, etc so my family got to know bill. Bill bought a house near my parents probably 10 years ago so they've kept in touch. Then I was "fortunate" enough to have back surgery from the same surgeon that fixed bills back and he was nice enough to spend a couple hours with me watching basketball after my surgery (Mostly as a favor to the Dr bc he literally owes him his life. It just so happened that I know him outside of that. Bill does something similar for a lot of this Drs patients) But he's as awesome in person as he is on Tv. I will say, laxjoe post surgery high on meds is not nearly as good a foil as Dave pasch is. But it's something I'll never forget and it's the main reason I'm such a big fan
“Sports” are just a games that allow us to drink a few beers and forget about shit. If you don’t like Bill Walton because he “messes up your serious game watching” then you need to take the stick out of your ass. If you’ve ever used the term “blue blood” unironically then go fuck your self.
I'm going to Dead & Co at Austen this summer and Walton says he'll be there. I'm going to wear my tie die conference of champions shirt just in case I run into him
“This game has more charges than a Seth greenwood mini bar. He’s thirsty in the room” At one other point he was reminiscing about guys he had called the tournament with In the past and said, “what was that guys name, he didn’t last long?” And kind of implied the current guy could be next. At end of the game “what’s your name again?”
They’re gonna have to play a deeper cut to get a shoutout. Im thinking a righteous rendition of 5-9-77 HOTW>Slipknot>Franklin’s Tower during halftime would sufficiently pique his interest
He was talking about how Hawaii was formed Monday night by all the volcanoes and I guess he named them effortlessly (I think). Which led to him talking about how the water was really shallow perfect for whales breeding in the summer time. “Which is why I prefer the West coast where I can breed year round.” Never change bill never change
He had some Darwin evolution tangent last night too. First half was about how bad the basketball was had him questioning evolution but then he brought it back up in 2nd half as a believer
If anyone reading this thread hasn’t listened to his audiobook, wtf, go listen to it ASAP. It’s the fucking best.
Roxy: Have you ever trained at high altitude, Bill? Bill: All the time. Roxy: Really, where at? Bill: Wherever I was. 10 seconds of silence...
