    TRB Sports: Erik on the NBA Draft and Brandon Aiyuk/49ers drama
    Jun 29 2026
    TRB Sports: restoring the feeling of REAL sports media. Erik recaps what experts claim to be the most talent-rich NBA drafts in years — a draft that saw AJ Dybantsa selected at #1 overall by the Washington Wizards and Darryn Peterson taken at #2 overall by the Utah Jazz, and so on and so forth. What about all the other potential future stars and big trades that were made around the draft, with what should be a hectic free agency period looming? Also, as we head into July, we inch one step closer to the start of NFL training camps and preseason. With that, Erik chronicles one of the most diabolical sagas of the offseason: Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers' significantly strained relationship.

    Trash Can Bandit identified, Big Booty Lightskins, Go-Thru-That-Phone gameplans (6/24/26, Hour 2)

    Audio from Hour 2 of June 24, 2026's episode of 'The Recess Bell: On Air', airing live every Wednesday from 6-8pm on 90.3 WHPC-FM. Joshua issues his TRB News Report on Angie Baez, the now-fired JPMorgan exec who bizarrely emptied a Knicks-themed trash can onto the Manhattan streets and walked off with it. Joshua then introduces Erik, Meleny, Lay and Ny to an unhinged Tubi show segment involving "big booty lightskins" and a diabolical gaslighting plot within a relationship. That later leads to a group mental exercise: if your romantic partner leaves their phone unattended and you decide to go through it, which app is your first stop?

    They've done it!

Erik reacts to everything that this incredible Finals brought us: the Knicks' repetitive comeback efforts in literally every single game of the series, what the championship means for NYC, and where the Spurs go from here. Also, does Erik have any regrets for leaving the Knicks for the Phoenix Suns as a fan a decade ago? And will he really pull up to Thursday's parade??
