What's up everybody? It's Austin Rivers from the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's a new

year and I have a new podcast here at the ringer, Offguard, hosted by me and my guy

Pasha Hoagigi. Austin and I go way back and talk so much hoop already that we figure it was time to fire up the

mics and let you in on all of these conversations. Every week Pasha and I

will hit on the biggest stories happening in the league and get

awesome's perspective of someone currently hooping in the NBA.

Tap in the off guard every Friday on the ringer NBA show feet on Spotify or wherever you

get your podcast. Me and Jess you're in separate locations today.

I was a little upset because I like to do a show together,

but I will tell you after what just happened,

I am never going into the office again.

You cannot hear the music or any of the drops if you're not on location. This is fantastic.

Jesse did the whole stupid intro music. I couldn't hear a thing.

No, that's not good. You need to be upset. I'm doing great man doing really good.

You sound like death?

Here's what we're going to do though.

We're not going to say the word.

Here I found, I figured this out beforehand

because I don't want a little warning on here,

but I found a way to put it out there.

Sometimes when I go have a beer I typically prefer Doseckies, but normally I would not have a Corona.

This is as painful as hearing the music.
