Hello and welcome group chat.

I am Justin Barrier and joining me, as usual, Rob Mahoney and Jay Kyle Mann.

But joining us a special guest for our NBA potluck edition, one of the original pod settlers.

It's Zach Lowe.

What's up, Zach?

I'm thrilled to be here.

The irony is I hate actual group chats in regular life, and I have multiple group chats that

are muted.

I recently had an issue with a wordal group chat that I might have to eject myself from

because too much information about the word was shared.

But this group chat, I'm all in for.

Robert, are you a group, are you a wordal sort of guy?

Of course.

Yeah.

Well, first of all, what does that mean?

You know, I don't like that.

You're already delivered that.

But I guess what are people

talking about? Are they like trying to work together to come up with the answer? It's a, it's score

comparison. And then we had one participant who shall remain nameless who always does it first.

And one day, this person was like, this was so I didn't even know this word and I had to use getting that. Just so like I've got, I've got it down to three or four possibilities. Like, well, it must be the most obscure possibility. And it was not. And I was like, you can't, that's too much table talk. We can't have that kind of table talk or I'm out of the group. Very poor form from Stan Van Gundy, spoiling the word like that. I can't believe you would do that. You're listening to The Ringer MBA show presented by Fandul.
