Did you know that scientific studies have found most people lie once every 10 minutes?

In my new podcast, Truthless, I'm talking to people about the lies they tell, from faking illnesses in high pressure

moments to making up stories on national TV.

From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Brian Phillips.

Listen to Truthless on Spotify,

or wherever you get your podcasts on October 15th. 15th. Hello and welcome to group chat I am Justin Varrier and joining me as always

Rob Mahoney Big Waz we have assembled here for the dramatic conclusion of the preseason MBA Power rankings part six part six

of six I feel like this is when it gets real though you know this is like the

second half of good fellas. We had a good time. We committed pen crimes together. We talked about the spurs. But now we have to turn on friends. So all that bullshit was was sewing. Today we reap. Today we reap all of it

including I'm sure you know whatever whatever crimes we may have been guilty of

along the way. Yeah that was the origin story.

What half of goodfellas does Uncle Pauli tell Henry?

You gotta go home, kid.

You gotta go home.

We do have to go home.

Six pods serving the entire league. It's a lot. I'm not going to lie to you Justin. It's a lot.

That's right. But here's the meat of it all. And I have to say this one was probably the toughest

top five that we've ever had to

assemble because the NBA just seems like it's more forsome at the top of the

league than probably even in recent years where I think last year was a pretty

heated debate as you might recall but like this one I feel like it's more margins

that are separating teams one and three even. Yeah I feel like I feel like most of these teams are pretty freaking close.
