What's up everybody, it's Austin Rivers from the Minnesota Temple Wells.

It's a new year and I have a new podcast here at The Ringer, off guard, hosted by me and my guy,

Pasha Higigi.

Austin and I go way back and talk so much through already that we figured

those time to fire up the mics and let you in on all of these conversations.

Every week, Pasha and I will head on to biggest stories happening in the league

and get Austin's perspective of someone currently hoping in the NBA.

Tap into off guard, every Friday on the Ringer NBA Show Feed on Spotify

or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the Scramble, I'm Shield Kapadia, coming to you on the Ringer NFL Feed.

Oh, I should say every Thursday, last Thursday, listen, I was a DNP illness,

so we had to postpone that week, but we're back this week for championship round weekend.

I am excited to have on the Ringer's very own Austin Gale Austin when we first signed on him.

Like, wait, who's this random guy on the on the Zoom here?

I didn't last time I saw a nice facial hair all grown in, but no more.

Has this new, has this been this way for a while?

Usually once a year, I'll say, hey, it's time for the mustache and any accompanying,

you know, facial hair to just take a breather, right?

Let's shave everything off, let's get a deep clean on the face, let's get some lotion going

and just really re-opt the skin because if you've had facial hair in the past

or someone that has like a habitual beard or mustache,

your skin underneath can get like really dry if it's there like over a couple of years.
