Thank you. Welcome back to another episode and today, this is a friend, I recorded on a Friday in a long time since last year.

I am very happy to have a guest finally on the show. It's nice for someone to come visit. I appreciate it.

From the Ringer and also I believe the first daughter of Edmonton is that correct?

Sir at Sohi.

Thank you.

Is that true?

Are you now the first daughter of Edmonton?

I prefer Princess of Edmonton, but you know that works.

Sir it's dad is the mayor, is that right?

Yeah, he was elected a couple months ago. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I like how Blasey you are about this.

Yeah, yeah, I don't, you know, I talk about it when he needs to be elected and then I just kind of try to

compartmentalize and pretend that my identity is not tied to my parents at all.

No, I don't think it is. It has nothing to do with your parents.

They're out of the picture.

I think your identity is probably slinging all kinds of basketball information and knowledge.

What are you thinking about these?

What's on your mind as we go through?

We're into like the 50th game of the season now.

We're getting to the home stretch.

Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun this season, Ben. Right before we started recording, we're talking a little bit about the amount of kind of strange fun defenses that have emerged and just a general vibe of like anything kind of goes like we're kind of, we're at an experimental, I don't want to say we're at an experimental peak because these things can, you know, they can keep going and going.

You don't know when the wave is crested, but I just don't think I've ever seen this many different strange configurations of teams that have found a way to be successful.

Like we were talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers. They kind of start this season with like this very fun like big men experiment that we just kind of early on I was I was very much in support of it when it happened in the preseason. I was just like you know what I love when teams do things things like this.
