It's Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024. I'm Jay Eskidz, here in the Classic Factory and alongside me. It's the bearded one, my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Hey, yo! Hey, and making the magic happen. We call him the super producer because he is. It's JD. Hello. There he is. No task today, but we got a special guest.

He's a staff writer for the athletic, runs the bounce, an essential NBA newsletter. You've heard him on Sirius XM. You've heard him on Mad Dog Radio. Of course, Cynophobe, the podcast you love. He loves puns. He gets buckets back here joining us on No Dunks. It's Zach Harper. What's up, Zach?

Good morning. Classic Factory. Oh, my goodness. Yes. Yeah. We got you up nice and early to talk to us.

Oh, man. I've been up for hour. Wow. Are you, so when you do the bounce, again, essential NBA

newsletter, free, go get it. Are you writing it at night or are you getting up at very early hours on the West Coast to write that bad boy? 95% of the time it is done at night. 95% of the time I'm like 10.30-ish I'm done and I can sleep easy. Some nights, you know, a little lazy. You might go till one in the morning, but for the most part, I do not like to, I don't like to write early in the morning. I just like to observe. I'm more of a lurker in the morning. Fair, fair. But sometimes,

I guess, yeah, breaking news during the middle of the night, you'll wake up and, okay, I got to write something here. Slip this into the newsletter. Yeah. Yeah, sometimes you just have to like, you know, Shams will have a big trade in the morning or something like that.

I'm like, all right, I can't let this go to the next day.

Gotta be a little proactive.

You ever hit you up on? Shams will have a big trade in the morning or something like that. I'm like, all right, I can't let this go to the next day.

Gotta be a little proactive.

You ever hit you up on Slack? Hey, wake up, buddy. I got something big coming down the pipeline here. Every morning. He's like, are you up? Like, it's been, you know, we're deep in central time right now. Yeah, because we all know Shams also doesn't sleep.

He never has gone to bed.

Yeah.

So it makes your life a little more.

I like that there was, I think, last free agency. So I think this was a year ago, he shared his screen time, and it was like 19 hours. And then I looked at my screen time, and it was like five. I was like, hey, we got you for the full day. That guy is a machine.

Well, we are excited to have you here.
