Nuggets Get Bullied, Obi’s Disrespectful Dunk & Wemby Wins ROY | 31

I just want people to laugh, have a good time, and forget how shitty the world is for 45-minutes every Wednesday, “says Shea Serrano, co-host SIX TROPHIES, Apple Podcasts’ Spotlight show for February 2024. 
 Serrano is joined by Jason Concepcion to talk the latest week in the NBA and pop culture to award six trophies to players, games, and culture-making moments. Like “The Step Brothers Catalina Wine Mixer” Trophy for the matchup they’re most excited about. Or “The Liam Neeson ‘I Have a Very Particular Set of Skills’ Trophy given to an aging player who proves they still got it. 
 Serrano and Concepcion are not only friends who share a love for basketball, but are also writers, taste makers and media creatives. “One of the benefits of working with Jason,” says Serrano, “is that I always feel confident that he’s going to do something incredible. Every episode is going to be good and funny and smart because he’s on it.” To put it in basketball terms, “it’s how I imagine it felt walking out onto the court with Tim Duncan. You always knew you had a genuine shot to win because that guy was on your team,” says Serrano. The duo hope listeners walk away wanting to share an idea or joke from the show, that ends up getting a big laugh from friends.
