After celebrating the Knicks’ NBA Cup win, they dive into the state of the team, Tyler Kolek, Mike Brown, and whether any big changes are needed. Duglust shares how he ended up doing a video with Knicks celebrity superfan Ben Stiller, plus how wrestling and John Cena’s final match influence entertainment today. The episode wraps with Step Brothers–level friendship vibes, and the big questions: should the Knicks trade for Giannis and retire Carmelo Anthony’s jersey?

Jim Meskimen is a talented mix of acting, voiceovers, impressions and general artistry. He is also approaching 300 credits on IMDB thanks to appearances on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Gas Lit, Apollo 13 and such commercials as Geico and KFC!

Besides laying out the course, Jim and Evan talk about his past credits, his mother Marion Ross from Happy Days and his favorite impressions.
