What Do You Want From Us? Plus, Doris Burke, Duke, Kentucky & NBA Top Shot

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Adam Malamut, the co-creator of the enormously successful Bleacher Report series Game of Zones. Malamut reveals everything you always wanted to know about the show, including why it ended, which owner they angered, and why meeting Sam Hinkie was awesome (and awkward). He shares hilarious childhood memories of getting suspended for drawing a sexually explicit cartoon about his teacher and explains how Philly’s sports talk radio station, 610 WIP, influenced his impressions. Malamut also details his career in animation and how Game of Zones actually got started. Plus, he gives us a hint at what’s next for him and his brother (Game of Zones co-creator) Craig.
