Thinking Basketball Podcast. My name is Ben. Welcome back to another episode. This is actually our 300th episode if you're into the whole round numbers thing. Happy New Year. It's December 31st. Cody, how are you doing?

This is so exciting. There's so many things. I love the celebration of arbitrary numbers. Like, like, 300's a really big deal to me. Although I wonder,

I wonder how many episodes I've been on because I was kind of on for a couple and then I wasn't.

And then I joined, I think, around 94, but then I wasn't on every episode since then.

So I'm like, I wonder if we hit 200.

At least half the episodes.

This is 300.

Yeah.

Yeah.

At least half the episodes.

I was planning on doing something big and fancy and integrating a bunch of guests and

interviews and having like a two-hour expose brought to you by someone very important or something like that.

But the problem with that is you then you have to actually go through and do all that stuff.

And no one wants to come on this show and talk to me about basketball.

So here we are.

Here we are today.

A week after in the aftermath of the 25 under 25.

And I'm going to beat you to it.

Because I, yes, I thought about, uh, I thought about the end of that show, which always goes

off the rails. And after we finish recording, I said to myself, I said, how could you take,

how could you take Keegan Murray when there's a player with the same archetype, but better at everything in Trey Murphy the third?

I feel like you bullied me.
