thinking basketball podcast my name is Ben and welcome back to another guy.

Did I get you with that one?

I didn't know we were like starting off with like the NPR style podcast.

Yes, it just hit me.

I thought, why don't we, why don't we test out an NPR style intro and see how it could if I don't do it the same way I get messages

People like send me messages. They're like you didn't do the intro and the outro right what's going on so

Maybe it's a bad idea to go all in PR.

I feel like if you nail the outro,

people should actually be mad about that.

I think it's actually like better when stuff happens in the outro

that just gets a little bit

unhinged like to me that's the that's the excitement of ending the show you mean like you mean

like every outro I've done this this year just totally unhinged well I also kind of

like the fact that like sometimes we'll end the show but then we have like a boat like a phantom segment. It's like what random thing can we talk about here, you know, I like that. I kind of you're maybe teasing it a little too much. I feel like it's an Easter egg that only the only those who go past like do you remember back in the day I used to put Easter eggs after the credits in the in the YouTube videos I would just slip in a little

slip in a little extra play there at the end.

I'm gonna be honest with you there were a couple times where you were like did you see that play at the end of the video and I'm like

I'm the guy that that moves on as soon as the the crowd store I started watching actually and the most recent ones I started watching all the way to the end because I I started realizing that I'm like oh you actually are putting stuff in the end there so you know I'm there I think you have to let people

know there's an Easter egg like if you're the MCU like people have to get

excited about what goes on after the credits and then if you don't have it like

it's it's gonna screw everything up so I think the information has to get out there first.

Isn't an Easter egg if you tell people it's an Easter egg? That's today's philosophy question for you to

pack into your pipe. Cody, there's been some exciting basketball taking place. We got like 10
