There was a major development in an ongoing debate on the show: Scuba Steve insists that, with the right support growing up, he could’ve made it to the NBA. Bobby pushed back, saying even with more practice and encouragement, Scuba simply isn’t built like an NBA player. Still, Scuba remained confident that with better direction, he could have been good enough to make the league.
A caller chimed in with harsh honesty after watching old videos of the show playing basketball, saying Scuba had “zero athletic ability” and could barely dribble. The caller insisted there was absolutely no chance he could’ve made the NBA. Bobby agreed, gently, saying that with proper support, Scuba maybe could’ve averaged seven to ten points in high school basketball. That’s when it came out that Scuba didn’t even play high school ball at all. When he explained that his dad left when he was nine, the room fell silent for a moment. But Bobby reminded him that being an athlete is about more than physical fitness, and some people simply move well and have natural ability, regardless of their upbringing.
The conversation then shifted to another one of Scuba’s bold claims: he said he could outrun “the fattest guy” on the Tennessee Titans roster. Bobby decided to put that to the test. He chose the biggest player on the Titans, offensive tackle JC Latham, a 6’6″, 342-pound mountain of muscle. Latham’s official 40-yard dash time is 5.46 seconds. Bobby said that if Scuba could beat that time, he would pay him $500 in cash. There was nothing on the line for Scuba if he lost, but Bobby said that the show should at least have a little fun with it. If Scuba runs slower than 5.46, the team gets to draw a full head of hair onto his bald head with a Sharpie, and he has to wear it for a week.
As plans for the upcoming race were being made, Scuba suddenly remembered to mention that he has a hernia and upcoming surgery from “violently throwing up.” The room immediately called him out for adding in an excuse at the last minute. He insisted it was real, even lifting his shirt the day before to show it, but the timing made everyone suspicious. After some back-and-forth, Scuba agreed to run anyway, hernia or not, and said beating the time under those conditions would make his victory even sweeter. But Bobby warned him not to secretly time himself beforehand and to actually stretch so he doesn’t get hurt.
The challenge now stands: if Scuba Steve runs a 40-yard dash faster than 5.46 seconds, he wins $500. If not, he’s getting a Sharpie hair makeover. The race is happening soon — hernia, excuses, and all.
