US Open With Shane Bacon, Best Of Kentucky Sports Radio Callers + HC Will Stein, Knicks Parade + FAQ’s

In a hypothetical that will haunt the Pardon My Take hosts long after this episode ends, a blind caller named Andy from Kentucky asked a deceptively simple question: if someone broke into your house, held you down for five minutes, tickled you, and left, would you call the police? The answer, after much deliberation, was no—not because it wouldn't be terrifying, but because the legal and social fallout of reporting a tickle-based crime would be worse than the crime itself. PFT, however, introduced the concept of the “fear boner,” arguing that if the tickling aroused you, the assault became a different category of crime entirely. Andy, for his part, clarified that he would not mind being tickled by a woman, which only deepened the mystery. This was the peak of the annual Kentucky Sports Radio takeover, and it perfectly captures the show’s chaotic energy: a mix of genuine curiosity, absurd hypotheticals, and a willingness to follow a bit until it breaks.
