Summary

We’re busy cooking and prepping for family coming into town, so our good goofy friends volunteered to take over the podcast for the week! Even if you don’t love basketball (just don’t tell Mike), we know you all love a good conspiracy theory. So stick around for sweet burns on our hosts, how many envelopes fit on the head of a needle, Yu-Gi-Oh Heart of the Cards-ing things, and why EVERYONE should love Space Jam. 

The video of the ~fixed~ draft is here. Find Eric Silver on Twitter @el_silvero and @JointhePartyPod. Mike Schubert is @Schubes17 and @PotterlessPod. Be sure to subscribe to our sister shows Join the Party and Potterless in your favorite podcast player. They’re real good, we promise.

Welcome to Spirits Podcast Episode 52.

0:02.9

NBA Conspiracies with Mike Schubert and Eric Silver and Eric Schneider.

0:07.2

I know what you're thinking.

0:08.6

Who are all these men?

0:09.8

Or why NBA conspiracies?

0:12.2

What does that even mean?

0:13.3

The word conspiracies is like, okay, partial spirits territory, but you're like, NBA, I don't know what those letters are.

0:18.4

I'm worried if you don't know what those letters are.

0:20.4

Listen, this is the deal, y'all. It's Thanksgiving week. We're busy. We're busy.

0:26.6

Julia's cooking a bunch. I'm making blueberry brown sugar, like caramel bars. Cool. I'm very excited about it.

0:33.5

We've been doing weekly spirits for a month and a half. Yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot.

0:45.1

We're tired. Yeah. And so we thought, let's just, let's just like go to a brewery and taste a bunch of flights of beer and let the boys take over. The boys can just do it this week. We don't care.

0:51.3

Actually, what happened is Mike Schubert and Eric Silver yelled at us for a year about wanting to do a sports episode. And so here we are. Yes. But it is a nice break for us

contemporary conspiracy theories. And two very interesting ones where there's like video evidence,

1:07.8

there's like actual stuff to look at. It's, it's way more, like, searchable than most of the stuff we talk about, which I think is pretty cool.

1:14.3

Yeah, it's actually super interesting. I never was invested in sports so much as listening to

1:20.0

Mike rant about cold envelopes. Yeah, and now we know what that means. Yeah. I also think

1:25.1

it would be a great euphemism for pretty much anything you wanted. So I genuinely think that you guys are going to enjoy this episode and I know that I

1:31.3

enjoyed listening to it. So thank you to the guys for taking over for the week. And Julia,

1:36.4

why don't you tell us about our sponsor for the week? We're sponsored by Central Curios. It is a
