In this episode, the guys jump into the idea of "fun" in the sport experience being taboo and interfering with "focus." The entire idea of this episode stems from this tweet: https://twitter.com/Rastogi_Aseem/status/1499495420808077313 and the video underneath of the Phoenix Suns enjoying their warmups together as a team singing and dancing to NBA Youngboy's "Nevada."

Among the topics of discussion are the coach speak of, "business trips," and understanding how the environment devoid of joy is antithetical to the reasons the players largely continue to play the game. Aseem shares stories from his time as a high school head coach and addressing the "quiet bus," and Kyle shares stories as a dad and as a coach about capturing moments that are fleeting. There will definitely be a Part II and maybe even a Part III, so be sure to subscribe and stay on top of our weekly releases every Thursday.
