0:07.0	Shameless, the pop culture podcast for smart people who love dumb stuff. You're joined, as always, by Melbourne writers, Michelle Andrews, that would be me, and Sarah McDonald, that would be you. Hello, Michelle Andrews and hello, producer Eilish Gilligan. Hello. Hi, Gill. Coming up on today's show, we watched the Lamar Autumn documentary on Netflix. We told you we did.
0:55.4	This episode is doing what it says on the tin.
0:57.5	We watched it. We watched it. We have thoughts.
0:59.8	We really enjoyed it.
1:02.1	Yeah. Yeah.
1:04.6	I, this is one of those documentaries where when it finished, Mitch and I turned to each other and we had quite a bit
1:13.5	to unpack, we paused it at multiple times to go, wait, what? And lucky this is your job then.
1:21.0	Oh, I'm in the right job. To pause and unpack. Gil, you enjoyed it too. I actually did,

Squarespace has made this episode possible. Thank you, Squarespace. Legends. All right. So let's rewind the clock just a tad. This is not a scandal, but it is worth kind of giving a bit of background, I think, on Lamar for those who may have forgotten.
2:21.7	Because I think it's been a while since he's been properly in the public eye. He is, of course, a 46-year-old retired NBA player who entered our pop culture, when I say our, like the shameless specific pop culture.
