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

I'm Ed Austin, and with me as always is production powerhouse Jason Doyle.

Hello.

Hi, J.D.

And he goes by many names, Red Rocket, Red Mamba, Sandwich Hunter, Coach B, but you know him best

is a 12-year NBA vet, two-time NBA champion, and at 6'10 with red hair, the man who could most credibly

play the Schwarzenegger to my DeVito in a Twins remake. It's Matt Bonner. Matt, welcome to Is This

Good? Thanks for having me, guys. You know, Matt, you and I go way back. So it's really cool

to watch your career and all your success and super happy to be on.

Well, we're happy to have you.

Where are we finding you right now?

I'm in Sacramento, California.

We're in the middle of a West Coast swing with the San Antonio Spurs.

I'm on the broadcast team.

It's a great gig.

It's so much easier than being a coach or a player.

You just show up, do the broadcast and go home. You're not, you know, coach, you don't have to deal with coaches, meetings, working out guys. You don't have to go to practice. It couldn't get any better.

So are you actually having fun when you go on the road? Are you like going out trying new dinner spots, things like that, or are you basically staying around the hotel?

No, I try to go out and have adventures. I love walking. If I can find a city bike, I'll ride a bike all around the city. I'll even do the bird scooter. It doesn't matter. I get out and explore, especially after the two years with the pandemic, working remotely being cooped up.

It's nice to be back to normal.

Do you have a favorite NBA city that you go to on road trips?

A favorite NBA city.
