  • OG Pod - LET THE GAMES BEGAN

    Zach Harper and Wosny Lambre are back with your Wembsday dose of Zosny.

    Amin Elhassan joins us to break down the 2 episode premiere of Clipped, taking us all the way back to the golden age of 2014 Los Angeles to discuss:

    • Which portrayals of the real-life people worked & which ones REALLY didn't
    • How the show delivered exposition for people who know nothing about the NBA
    • Whose insight was clearly used to shape the storytelling
    • Zosny is aligned on who they are picking for the NBA finals and also share which narratives drove them the most crazy in the last week without hoop.

      Finally, JJ Redick wants everyone to know he's focused on calling the NBA finals for ABC and that 'Shams will be addressed' in the offseason.

    • PYK - S21 Ep 10: Door County Fish Boil

      No chef has built confidence and momentum in recent weeks like Savannah Miller. She bagged a Quickfire win with canned corn beef (!), only to slice her hand open while filleting her fish for the Fish Boil.

      Though it looked like she prepared the worst of the six plates, she was spared elimination.

      Kevin was on hand in Milwaukee for the Fish Boil, and tasted three of the six fish boil dishes. He shares his impressions of the production, Soo’s beurre blanc, and Miguel’s winning boil.

      Tom argues that, even with the new “Quickfire factor” at the chopping block, the judges didn’t make the right call.
