The Open University, the future is open. Yo, yo, welcome to Stargazing, a show about the figures and influencers that surround

the superstars in NBA culture. I'm Yovon Buja, NBA reporter at The Athletic. Joining us now is the Breadbasket,

a rapidly growing podcast and media company founded by brothers Danny and Zach Guarino in 2022.

You've probably seen their content on TikTok or Instagram, but if you haven't, they create content

that incorporates an overarching sports theme blended with humor and lightheartedness. Personally, I love their drafts. Every one of them is a must watch. Gentlemen, thank you for doing this. How are you doing today? Doing great. Thank you for having us. Yeah, I appreciate you having us, man. I'm excited to be here. Basketball is the theme of the show.

and Mello I'd say entertainment value AI Mello but like if we're trying to win a chip it's it's

probably got to be Chauncey Mello yeah but like even back, it's like we didn't win one. So it's like,
