Well, well, well. Hoisted by my own xenophobic food theory. I'll be darned.

I shall explore this dish with a newfound sense of urgency. Much obliged!

Julia, as a Scandinavian, do I need to know what the hell bread pudding is, or is it one of those things that's so uniquely American, the rest of us go "No, we're fine"?

Later on, check the feed, as @adamtaylornba.bsky.social came on to discuss NBA teams stuck in the middle which, uh, doesn't seem all that great for the NBA.

(We also got into the ownership angle. Link should be up soon. Subscribe, and you won't miss it!)

And then there's @stephnoh.bsky.social who came on the show to continue our recent tradition of predicting NBA Awards for the season!

Come for the Wemby chatter, stay for the Tyus Jones bit.

As most of you know, I absolutely suck at sharing the work I do.

The only excuse I have for that is the undeniable fact that I'm an idiot.

So here's a pod dump!

@btoporek.bsky.social and I on a new Shooting The Bleep.

WHERE ARE THE POINT GUARDS AT?!

I have to ask. I just have to ask.

... You guys are pranking the rest of the world, right?

Trump, RFK Jr, Vance, Musk, ICE.. it's all an elaborate prank, right?

Because *laughs* surely this can't be real life, as nothing is THAT stupid.

It's definitely a prank.

..

Please tell me it's a prank.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The Chicago Bulls and Kevin Knox have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Knox has averaged 7.3 points in seven NBA seasons combined with the Knicks, Hawks, Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Warriors.

Can't keep the powder dry forever. Only two years left on Wemby's rookie contract.

You have to make "the move" within, like, the next 18 months.

Morten Stig Jensen @msjnba.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely. The Spurs could generally facilitate this in a way that also streamlines their talent.

It sorta feels like that's the team with the keys, all things considered.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 3d

Or the Knicks can send both OG and Mikal to San Antonio who redirect some picks and players to Milwaukee if Giannis insists on New York.

Morten Stig Jensen @msjnba.bsky.social · 3d

This, to me, still SCREAMS San Antonio.

They can facilitate a trade deadline deal with Milwaukee, and somewhat easily.

They're way below the first apron, they have a ton of assets, and they possess player contracts that the Bucks can move off of down the line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, agent reportedly 'figuring out' which teams could make a mid-season trade offer

The combination of Giannis' $54.1 million salary, the tax aprons and just the roster number crunch makes a mid-season trade very difficult to pull off.

Trying to trade Antetokounmpo and his $54.1 million salary during the season is extremely difficult in the tax apron era.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

One of the biggest sins a basketball coach can commit is preaching unnecessary unselfishness, to the point where players hesitate to take open shots.

This problem is especially prevalent in Denmark.
