The Ryen Russillo Show

Ryen opens with the Thunder taking a 3–2 lead over the Spurs and why Hartenstein beating up Wemby has really changed the series. Plus, why the viral Thunder foul clips aren’t great, but also aren’t the reason the Spurs are losing. Then, NBA champion Channing Frye stops by with more on Thunder-Spurs, why he thinks people are still sleeping on the Knicks, and stories from his Knicks days and the Cavs’ 3–1 comeback over the Warriors in 2016. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti join for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including a friend using too much slang and a wedding invite problem.
