50 Episodes Deep: The Children of Fandom Finally Speak


Listen Later

In this special 50th episode, I invite my children Evelyn and Bennett to reveal what it's like growing up with a basketball-obsessed parent who constantly talks about the Denver Nuggets and MVP Nikola Jokić. The kids rate my sports fanaticism between "eight and a half" and "seven thousand" on a scale of one to ten, confirming my suspected overenthusiasm.

• My children demonstrate unexpected knowledge about Nikola Jokić in our first game, including his love for horses and signature "Sombor Shuffle

• Second game "Way Too Much" exposes my most frequent basketball complaints, from refs to media coverage of small market

• Discussion of how various NBA teams connect to potential offseason moves for the Nuggets

• Kids hilariously describe my nervous playoff behavior, including stress-induced cleaning and caveman-like celebrations
• Family sets goal to attend a Denver Nuggets home game before episode 100
• Both children show signs of developing their own basketball fandom, though not necessarily centered on my favorite player

Let's make it a family goal to fly out to Denver and watch the Nuggets in a home game before episode 100!
