Our man Stefan headed out to Las Vegas with longtime friend o' the show Nat Livingston Johnson for their first—but certainly not last—visit to NBA Summer League, where they did their due diligence on the incoming rookie class. Kyle Mann of The Dime Drop joins the show to talk about the standout rookies, so-so basketball, and fantastic hobnobbing on offer at Summer League. Viva Las Vegas.

In the process, he tells us a thing or two about how to write a movie, what it's like working with Scorsese, and the kind of fruit Paul Newman most liked eating in the shower!

"SEXY/BEAST" | In the Heat of the Nighttime

 Stefan's Nighttime is back with one of Stefan's favorite musicians, Hamilton Leithauser of The Walkmen! Hamilton joins him (4:08) to share stories of early Walkmen days spent destroying pianos on tour and hiring horn sections off Cragislist, talks about his evolving approach to being a frontman, and does two beautiful acoustic performances: "Hearstruck (Wild Hunger)" (34:35) and "In a Black Out" (1:05:18). Then they're joined by Nev Schulman of Catfish (39:00) who regales them with tales of tech-crossed lovers, what he's learned in his travels talking to hoodwinked citizens across the country, and his crusade to be a good Brooklyn neighbor (which means there's a lot of talk of dead rats and abandoned cars). • Watch this episode on YouTube • Subscribe to Nighttime's YouTube channel by clicking here • Follow along on Instagram at @nighttimenyc • Watch Stefan's Nighttime on YouTube
