I’m not quite sure what just happened…on a random Monday night, following a nice pub dinner, Sam and I found an empty recording studio on our old Uni campus that our student cards still gave us access to. We set up and prepared to record a quiet, peaceful episode.

We discussed the unexpected success of the Mid-Season Tournament, the rise of the Anthony Edwards-led Minnesota Timberwolves, how nice it is to see a competitive Eastern Conference and How grateful we are to not be Chicago Bulls fans.

Oh, and in between all that, we were barged in on by a very surprised cleaner and flashed a FULL MOON (those were two separate incidents btw)
