Summary

Ryen opens with some NBA thoughts, including the Magic’s comeback win in the NBA Cup led by a massive game from Desmond Bane. He looks back at the trade and why it makes even more sense now. Then, he’s joined by Suns owner Mat Ishbia to discuss the team’s surprising start, what he’s learned from early mistakes, whether he’d do the Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal trades again, and the future of Devin Booker. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti jump in for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including whether it’s stealing to take from a lost-and-found box and what age you’d pay to live again.
