Wait, There are Sports Now?

Ari Temkin (@arisports) and Jeremy Mandel (@jeremymandel) … wait, there are sports now? So, what are the rules of engagement in the NBA? When do the playoffs start and will the Spurs streak of 21 straight playoff appearances continue. What's going on in baseball and will there be legitimate championships in sports in 2020? How will football be impacted? Because Roger Goodell and the NFL don't seem to realize how screwed they might be!

1:01

Sports is happening, so we decided to fill the void and give you two white guys talking about sports on the internet! What's happening in the NBA? When do the playoffs start?

4:42

Is levalized a word?

6:53

Would the San Antonio Spurs 21 consecutive season playoff streak continue if they made it to the 8 vs. 9 play-in game?

9:15

If you're re-drafted the 2018 NBA draft what would the order be? Luka Doncic, Trey Young, DeAndre Ayton, Jaren Jackson, et al.

10:55

Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs have essentially rebuilt while not really missing the playoffs, and meanwhile the Suns and Kings have been rebuilding for two decades.

15:34

How many coaches have the Kings had since they last made the playoffs?

17:29

Jeremy wonders things about Major League Baseball. 

19:07

Steak Bourbon and Sports Ep. 22

Ari Temkin (@arisports) and Jeremy Mandel (@jeremymandel) welcome Jared Thatcher of Boothill Blades. They discuss everything you ever wanted to know about knives and perhaps many things you didn't know you wanted to know about knives, plus the best sports story of 2020.

Follow along on Instagram: @SteakBourbonSports Follow on twitter: @SBSPod Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CJteXOLZSNWan4FS7iU8w?sub_confirmation=1

00:30 - 1:10

Jeremy's favorite part of the podcast is not ever on the podcast.

2:15 - 4:36

Can the knife you cut your meat with make a difference in the taste of the meat?

7:05 - 10:19

How does one become a knife maker? Jared Thatcher on how he got into making knives.

11:40 - 12:15

What goes into a good knife?

14:44 - 15:20

What commercial knives would Jared recommend?

16:53 - 18:05

What do people not realize about knives?

Steak Bourbon and Sports Ep. 21

Draymond is a CBDoofus and Bubble Therapy

Ari Temkin (@arisports) and Jeremy Mandel (@jeremymandel) welcome Dan Stromberg of Beacon Hemp. They discuss the breaking up of the stigma of cannabinoids and the growing usage of them in athletics, especially the NBA and NFL. Plus the connections between bourbon and cannabinoids and as Dan is a Golden State Warriors fan, what will the future hold for the Warriors and how much has the NBA changed in terms of league powers?

Follow along on Instagram: @SteakBourbonSports Follow on twitter: @SBSPod Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CJteXOLZSNWan4FS7iU8w?sub_confirmation=1

00:40 - 1:50

Why we're talking weed and CBD and why there's plenty of THC therapy happening now with the NBA players at Walt Disney World.

2:20 - 3:21

The recognition of the positive properties of cannabinoids in pro sports is actually far behind the general population.

3:36 - 5:59

Are cannabinoids actually good for professional athletes, especially NFL players, who take on massive hits throughout the course of their careers?

6:11 - 8:33

What is CBD and how is it different than what we'd think of traditionally as weed? Amazingly CBD and Marijuana are actually differentiated by just one atom bond, and the main distinction would be that there are no psychoactive qualities in CBD.

8:40 - 10:45

Either THC or CBS in an isolated form does not have the same impact as it does together, which is something they call Entourage Effect.

10:52 - 13:50

How big of a business has CBD become?

14:01 - 15:36

What is hemp? And you can LIVE in hemp?

15:51 - 18:26

What is Beacon Hemp?

18:33 - 22:10

Dan Stromberg works in the CBD and THC world, but he's also a connoisseur of fine whiskey, so what are the connections between bourbon and whiskey and cannabinoids. Are alcohol beverage companies getting into the cannabinoid world?

22:20 - 27:53

There are a number of athletes and former athletes who are beginning to uncover so many positives of cannabinoids and even some that are using it in training including long distance runner Avery Collins. 

28:10 - 29:49

As a Spurs fan Jeremy is not a big fan of the Golden State Warriors, while Dan lives in the bay area and is a big fan of the Warriors, so Jeremy is not going to miss a chance to rup Draymond Green.

29:50 - 30:51

Will the Warriors return to the top level of the NBA in 2021?

31:11 - 33:16

It's crazy how much the narrative shifted on Kawhi nationally. 

33:22 - 35:14

Kawhi and the 2020 NBA has shown how quickly windows can close and the landscape is really everchanging

35:30 - 39:12

What about KD? Why does there seem to be such a large distinction between the "legacy" of Kevin Durant vs. Steph Curry.
