Today, guest Israel Gutierrez joins Amin for some Odds and Ends to open the show. They start by discussing Chris Paul's chances of making Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs a better team, and Amin tells a story about young James Harden being "him" in college. We find out Amin and Izzy aren't big on Zach Edey, despite his teammates' praise at media day. The Karl Anthony Towns trade is official, and Julius Randle, as well as Amin and Izzy, think Minnesota was not the worst place he could have ended up. Later, Charlotte re-joins the show to debut a new segment called Certified Odd. Amin and Charlotte go down memory lane to determine if certain stories are certified odd or certified basic. Since the NBA season hasn't started, we will use past occurrences to determine our stats, such as Draymond choking Rudy Gobert, Joe Mazzulla quotes, Jimmy Butler's hair, and more.

They also discovered that Jakob Poeltl sounds just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scoot Henderson is hungry (literally, not for basketball), Giannis can be a bit risqué, LeBron predicted Bronny's greatness, and Jokic has lost his ring—again. To wrap things up, Charlotte and Amin play a game of matching tattoos to NBA players, and they realize one player, whose name rhymes with "Atum," has quite a few questionable ones.
