Have you ever visited a flea market?

You ever visited at truck stop?

Did you ever have a job as a waiter?

Have you noticed how many successful restaurants are

theme-based these days?

Do you have a pet?

Do you have a sweet tooth?

Do you believe in the power of a curse?

Have you had your hearing test today?

Planning a trip soon?

Can you remember the tallest man you've ever seen? Do you love to go wandering beneath the clear blue sky?

Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks podcast on the Athletic Network. It's Friday, January 21st. Because I'm still giggling

from the cold open. These are rattling me, J.D. This is the Drop podcast, January 21st. Let me try

that again. I'm Jay Skeetsam alongside me, as always, Tassmellis. No drunks in here. None.

I've probably said a few of those

things. For sure. I have. We got our top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Ayo. Ayo. The international

man of mystery taking it to the Max Lielis. Friends. And finally making the magic happen,

super producer, Jady. Hello. There he is and here we are. Jady, I got to say, I think that was your greatest week ever when it comes to cold opens. Really? Yeah. Wow. Every single one of those was a banger. Any chance I have, I like to try to submarine the show as soon as it starts. Just blow it up the moment it happens. It's always a good show when that happens. Shout out to the stream team joining us live right now on YouTube. Subscribe, like, comment, share the show. Email in your NBA questions to no dunks at theathletic.com. We're going to hit the beach a little bit later on this drop podcast. Grab yourself some no dunks gear. If you haven't already, go to no dunks.com and get yourself an athletic description. Go to theathletic.com slash no. He's wearing a shirt. Perfect. That's why. Yes. That makes sense. Okay, on today's drop, we're going to talk about Daryl Morey's latest comments on the Ben Simmons. Yeah, I avoided that one this morning. No, no, I want your take on it as well. It's a big fark. 20 A's this time. We're going to take a look at the latest all-star voting fan returns. I believe the fans have one day left to get their votes in because we find out the starters next week,

but we'll talk about those. Like I said, we'll hit the beach to answer some of your questions,

and you know we got some rapid fire fun. But let's start with the games from last night on Thursday.

There were only three. We'll start with the sons rallying late to beat the Mavericks 109, 101,

to sweep their five-game road trip.
