Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Barrier, joining me Rob Mahoney and J. Kyle Mann.

A bit of an unplanned absence on Sunday. We took the podcast off.

Obviously, I think everything going on in Minneapolis, we were pretty upset and disgusted by what

happened out there. And I think we had unfortunately planned a pretty silly episode. We were going to draft mid players and it just didn't feel

like that was appropriate given all the situation going on there. And with the snow coming

for Kyle, I think the timing didn't work out. So we apologize for not being around on Sunday.

I think people expect us to be there no matter what happens. And I take

that responsibility pretty seriously, but obviously circumstances beyond our control. Let us

taking that one out. Yes. But look, the mid-player's drafts will resume at some point. I would only

hope, Justin, right? I think so. I mean, it was tied specifically to the midpoint of the NBA season. And as we were actually kind of plotting this out, I was like, what are we actually going to talk about? Because the whole bit is these guys are just fine. Like, they're just okay players. That's why we were doing it. And I just don't know what to say about just okay players,

but I guess we'll find out at a later day. To be determined. Yeah. Just sort of a mid theme. Yeah.

I think inevitably we were going to be creating bulletin board material for certain players.

That's what I was imagining was me being a player and listening that. What? You know,

I could just, it seems like an inherently insulting exercise for players.

So I don't know.

I was excited to provide that motivation for somebody.

Look at you.

You mentioned Hunter Dickinson and I had to look him up.

He's not.

Yeah, that's the thing.

Like, what's the difference between mid and bad?

Oh, it's a wide chasm.
