Hello and welcome to Is This Good, the show we boldly, conclusively, and scientifically decide what things in this big wide world are good.

I'm Matt Austin, and with me as always his production

powerhouse Jason Doyle. Hello. Hi, JD. And he's a former NCAA baller. He created and starred

in Comedy Central's animated Legends of Chamberlain Heights. He wrote on Netflix's Colin and Black and

White. He hosts No-Shill with Gilbert Arenas-of-pocket podcast. And if you think that

keeps him busy enough, you'd be wrong because he spends every night doing what you probably

know him best for, clowning the NBA with a stockpile of intercontinental ballistic memes and

earning the title of Goat from no less than LeBron James. He's the king of NBA Twitter. It's Josiah

Johnson. Josiah, welcome to Is This Good?

I'll tell you what was good. That intro was pretty phenomenal. Thank you so much.

Butter me up. Get me ready to go. Let's get it. All right. Let's do it. So one thing that I was

definitely wrong about, I kind of assumed that you got your start on NBA Twitter,

Well, that's a mistake that a lot of people make is funny, man. People would be like, oh, man, you weren't shit till LeBron put you on. It's like, no, I was doing a lot of shit make it's funny man people would be like oh man you weren't shit till lebron put you on it's

like no i was doing a lot of shit before that happened but it is what it's so look i've been working in

the entertainment game i play a ball ucla wasn't that good had to figure my life out uh graduated 2005

started working for a bunch of sports networks like fox sports NFL network all these other

companies and while i was working there i kind of had, this itch to want to try and get into the blog space. It's seen a lot of great sites like Deadspins was really moving and shaking back in those days. But there was not really anything for the, you know, the urban black demographic. So started a website called Jersey Chaser. We were kind of like the off-kilter sports

website. We started doing a bunch of YouTube theme content. This was like 2008, 2009. It's right on

the time that the Kobe and LeBron Nike puppet parody had really taken off. So we did a out-of-pocket
