Description

Should the NBA change the 82-game schedule? This week, Andre & Evan kick off the show with a debate about load management and NBA tradition (1:00), leading to an honest evaluation of the newly released Christmas Day NBA schedule (10:56). After sharing their wishlist last week they get to see how close dreams came to reality. Later, Hall of Fames is the topic of conversation as Deion Sanders critiques the NFL's HOF as being a "free for all" which begs the question, are Hall of Fames too generous with their inductees these days? (18:14). In our Guns & Butter segment, Andre breaks down the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum giving a deep dive for fans and new investors (32:18). Finally sneaker exchange company GOAT Founder Eddy Lu joins the show to give fans a truly honest depiction of the journey from start-up to a thriving business. Going from being a software engineer for the finance industry to deciding to work for himself developing iPhone apps and building a company designed to answer the frustration experienced when purchasing a pair of fake Jordan 5 grapes, Eddy covers it all. From expanding his business to acquiring the brick-and-mortar sneaker haven Flight club and potentially going public, this conversation is one you can afford to miss. (37:14)
