In the fifty-ninth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett and James Gruenberg to discuss which Sports Moments deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the Miracle on Ice a no-brainer? What about the Saints winning Super Bowl XLIV? Does the David Tyree helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII grab a spot? Does the Michael Jordan buzzer beater in the 1998 NBA Finals or the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Sports Calls will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that "Do You Believe in Miracles?" shouldn’t get a spot? Will "Behind the Bag" be included? Is "May Day, May Day, May Day" in the conversation? What about "The Red Sox are World Champions" or "Havlicek Stole the Ball"?
Prior to that, the trio pay tribute to the memory of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hulk Hogan.

The NBA offseason is upon us, but if you blinked, you missed free agency and the trade market drying up like Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard's max contracts. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back after a quick deal summary episode to deep dive what exactly these teams are trying to accomplish. The dreaded luxury tax apron strikes again as contenders either dove in or backed out of paying the big bill. But first, they talk about last month's draft as Adam tries to talk Andrew off the ledge after the Pelicans pulled one of the most stupefying draft day deals of all-time. The guys also talk about LeBron's realistic options after opting in to his final year of his deal with the Lakers, the Bucks sabotaging the Pacers, draft day surprises, the Knicks hiring Mike Brown, and more. So suit up and take it out in episode 351 with the NBA-Team!
