Jazz fan Tiffanee Gurney joined the show to help us put our thoughts together on what's happening in the world of sports and especially our Utah Jazz. The NBA season has been suspended indefinitely and all eyes have been on the Jazz due to the positive tests of the Corona Virus from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. It's a strange time as a fan and a human being right now. Tiffanee brings her perspective as a Jazz fan and helps us understand just how people may be feeling and what we might be able to expect going forward. Thank you so much to Tiffanee for taking the time to chat. Be sure to follow her on Twitter @TiffaneeGurney. Thank YOU so much for listening. Please take the necessary precautions to keep yourselves and families safe during this time. 

Jazz fan Yunnie Kim joined Jazzed to discuss her favorite Jazz players of all-time, growing up a Jazz fan and what this current squad needs to do to advance in the playoffs. Yunnie shares stories about meeting Derrick Favors, Donovan Mitchell and Coach Sloan and describes Coach Snyder in a single word. We also talk about Joe Ingles and how important he is to the success of the team. We finish off our great conversation chatting about movies and give our answer as to who the best Avenger is. Make sure to follow Yunnie on social media - @YunnieKim and show her some love. And be sure to follow us on social media - @JazzedPodcast and get in on the conversation.

The original Jazz Bear, Jon Absey, joined Jazzed to talk about how he got the job and how he was almost too afraid to accept it. Jon shares so many stories about life as the Bear - from how much water weight he would lose each game to how many injuries he had and how many appearances he'd make on an annual basis. Jon takes us back to the "glory days" of the Jazz and how he got in Coach Sloan's doghouse after he played a friendly prank inside the locker room. He also shares a fun memory about calling Larry Miller "too much" after the late owner of the Jazz gave him his phone number. Jon had so many experiences as Bear over the years but perhaps none was more impactful than when he could make a child smile. Thanks to Jon for taking the time to chat with us and THANK YOU for listening and subscribing to our podcast. Follow us on social media @JazzedPodcast and let us know what you think of the show!

Jazz fan and writer for SLC Dunk, Taylor Griffin, joins the show and talked about his Jazz fandom, his favorite players and if one of our guys gets an all-star invite this year. Taylor makes his all-star east/west predictions and talks about his favorite all-star memories. What will it be like when the game comes to SLC in 2023? We discuss how important the duo of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell is to the franchise and the fanbase and rare it is to get such a duo.

Jazz fan and former Jazz employee, Alex Lowry joins the show to talk about how he got started working for the team and his favorite memories. The decade just ended! What are our favorite moments from the past 10 years? Alex also shares why he thinks Donovan Mitchell is the most special player the Jazz have had and why he and Rudy Gobert should each make the All-Star team this year. We also discuss the recent Dante Exum trade and why we think Dante fell out of favor with Coach Snyder. We wrap up the pod talking about our favorite films and who we think is currently the best director right now. THANK YOU for listening to Jazzed!

What's it like running the social media for the Utah Jazz? What obstacles get in the way in bringing fans content? Former director of Jazz digital Bill Lea joins the show to talk about his tenure which included traveling with the team, launching the team Instagram account and starting much of what Jazz fans have come to know online. Bill started his job right before the 2011 lockout and was thrust into action at a unique time to work for an NBA team. We also discuss secret meetings with Dennis Lindsey, getting yelled at by Karl Malone and winning the nation's best social media award in 2015. Thanks to Bill for joining the show and talking about so many memories. Find Bill on Twitter - @billylea and find us online @JazzedPodcast. Thank you for listening and for subscribing!
