It can be annoying constantly hearing about the Knicks and Lakers, so we decided to talk about them for an entire episode! (It sounds backwards, I know).

And as always, they start the show by firing off takes with a Full-Court Press (2:28).

To ring in the Halloween and NBA seasons, Peter and Daniel take a look at teams not living up to expectations, and if their starts could go on to haunt the rest of their seasons (1:19).
