AN OWNERSHIP DEBACLE! ANT IS SO GOOD! NAZ AND JADEN AND SLOMO ARE ALIVE! 

guys. remember when we used to release episodes regularly. we're getting back to that, i promise. On this week's episode, we discuss our life post-KAT injury, Ant's continued ascension, Luka Garza (sorry), and Dune. 

We're back with our second consecutive Random Wolf of the Week spotlight on Nikola Pekovic! These totally weren't pre-recorded during the Trail Blazers game on 2/15! Normal episodes begin again next week, but in the meantime enjoy this deep dive into the life, legacy, and lore of Nikola Pekovic.

SPECIAL EPISODE! We love highlighting the Random Wolves of the Week at the end of each episode so we figured we'd do some deeper dives into beloved Wolves throughout history. This week, we discuss the legacy and lore around COOL HAND LUKE RIDNOUR. 

Wolves twitter melted down over former and future guest of the pod Claire de Lune's 1 minute segment discussing the Timberwolves and KAT on another pod so we talked about it cuz we are white knights and simps. After that, we just bantered about how insanely good the Timberwolves are and then we did the fictional player buyout segment, where we add various fictional basketball players to the Wolves. 

We did one episode without a guest and we got bored so we invited our pal CHELANGA LANGASON FROM THE CND NBA SHOW to discuss why Kyle Anderson is secretly still good, the trade deadline's impact on the Wolves, potential buyout guys, and why Luigi is a bad person. Also, we snuck in a cats draft in celebration of Karl-Anthony Towns' fourth all star appearance. Some episodes are like this guys, idk what to tell ya. If you're still here from the Dane episode or Meatsauce episode we appreciate you lmao journalism is DEAD we only care about vibes now.

WOWOW KAT AND ANT ARE ALL STARS BAYBEEE. The gentlemen react to the news, as well as the current performance of the team. It's also our first episode since Guestuary so it's just us again. We also spend some time fawning over Nickeil Alexander-Walker before pitching trade targets in our Shark Tank Trade Machine segment. Love you so much! Don't drive stupidly in residential areas!

THE FINAL GUEST OF GUESTUARY IS CLAIRE DE LUNE! You've seen Claire on twitter, and perhaps you've heard her music as Tiny Deaths or read her basketball words with the Guardian. Speaking of, she just dropped an article about how the Timberwolves went from league laughing stock to legit championship contender. We discuss the Wolves with Claire, as well as her Lakers fandom*, the D'Angelo Russell experience, and how her artistry and journalism intersect. We also did our "Create a Band" draft, which is where we all made a band out of past and present NBA players. Claire is awesome and you better go show her some love cuz she's now forever intertwined with the lore of CWNP okay love you so much have a great weekend BYEEEE!

Dane Moore joined Crunch Wears No Pants to talk EVERYTHING. Does he like Hennessey? Who are his ideal trade targets as the deadline approaches (also this, predictably, is when Dane and Brandon go super deep, it was every ball-knowers dream conversation)? How has his podcast evolved over the last couple seasons? How are his vibes towards the team at the moment? What is the best NBA video game of all time? 

We finally got him. Timberwolves In Arena Host MC Jon B joins the program to discuss the vibes around the team, his in-game fan hype approach, and the things he noticed in the pre-season in Abu Dhabi that let him know that this team was different. We also go over the vibes of this lil rough patch/growing pains thing the Wolves have got going on right now (spoiler: we all still think everything is fine) and then draft our Star Wars starting five. MC Jon B is great and if you don't give him a high five and say "thanks for making my Timberwolves game experience awesome!" next time you're at Target Center, we will get angry about that.
