Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks podcast presented by Fandul, Tuesday, November 4th, 2025.

I'm Jay Skeets here on the Classic Factory and alongside me. As always, from out under the desk, it's Tassmellis.

I like sitting in a chair. How's your back feeling? Fine, totally fun. People were worried about the bows and everything. They're all good. Good, good. Next to him, it's Matapshot Hot Boy. It's Trey Kirby. Hey, oh. And over yonder, making the magic happen, super producer, J.D. Hello. There he is, and we have a special guest today. If you're online, you've seen him. You've heard him. He was a long time engagement editor for Vox, SB Nation, Secret Base, and now he's kicking ass in the sports content space on his own. It's Kofi, Yoboa Kofi. Good morning to you. What's up, man? Morning. Good morning. How are you guys doing? We are great. Pumped at you rolled out of bed and jumped on with us because you are on the West Coast. So it's mad early for you. I am. I will never get used to this. I will never get used to the West Coast time. I've been here for three years. Every time, like, wow. It's like the games are ending and it's still like there's still stuff to do. It's to live your life. That's interesting. So you're actually not a fan of West Coast sports viewing because people that live out there are like, it's the best. What's wrong with you East Coast people? You're crazy. I am a fan, but I am a night owl. So I think for basketball, it's perfect.

But for, like, you know, college football,

I might mess around and miss the entire first slate. You know, sometimes. So it has, it has his, here's and theirs, you know. Fair enough. Fair enough. Well, we're excited to finally have you on No Dunks. We got lots to talk about. We're going to get into your red hot Detroit Pistons

who are on fire to start the season. But I saw that last night, you were definitely on Twitch.

You were live streaming when Janus hit a fadeaway buzzer beating jumper to give the Bucks

the 117, 115 victory over the Pacers last night. You sort of were in awe on the live stream, and then you were like talking about how much

you love this rivalry between the two teams.

I just love the history and the lore, even if the last like couple of seasons where they had

they had the argument over the game ball thing.

It was like, I got 60, and the Pacers were like,

nah, this is our guy's first.

It's one of the funniest things.

And then, you know, of course, you had the last year's playoff series where Janus and Tyrese's dad.

And then you have, now you have Miles Turner going to over to the dark side for many Pacers fans right I think there's just I love when MBAs do have rivalries and they have bullet points that are really recent not just historic so for sure

Gianna's hitting that shot and then doing the the double thumbs. Priceless. That's great. That's great work. I love that. Incredible. Why was his brother trying to clean up his thumbs? His brother was there. Thanasis was flipping those hands. He's like, those aren't cool to do that? He was like, relax, bro. I think he was trying to, like, police him or, like, parrot him a little bit.

Yeah, that's how I read it.

I don't know about you, Kofi.

How did you take his brother saying, hey, that's enough thumbs down, Yonnas? Put your hands. I think that, you know, Janus being, like, in the heat of the moment, and then his brother has like who's been like on the sidelines

who's probably been listening to everything that the fans

have been saying a little bit more intently
