Not For Nothin'

We're back after a week off. One of us had a baby, the other got shingles. We debate who had a worse time. Chris makes a really good case for how to change and improve the NBA's all-star weekend. It involves gambling, of course. But it does make sense. They talk a little bit about the non-impact of Blake Griffin signing with the Nets and then parlay the only two NBA games for Wednesday. That's it, that's the show. Get used to it.

Ep. 226 Not For Nothin' Chris Gets Denzel'd by Kris and Chris

Is Thibs a good coach? Is a DRose reunion worth it? Is Immanuel Quickley the best Knicks draft pick since Mark Jackson... or Landry Fields? Can your nickname just be another persons first name? Should "Clyde" hang up the microphone? Are the Knicks really playing well enough not to lament? Apparently so, since we've rebranded this annual Knicks-themed podcast.

With no more football to discuss the guys do their version of movie & TV show reviews, calling it the "unwatchables." Kris also confesses to the world his covid-quarantine obsession. But apparently, it's the same as everyone else's. So maybe it wasn't that big of a deal. Although Chris's is crazy random and shocking. They settle all their accounts on the Super Bowl bets and then work their way into not betting on Thursdays slate of NBA games. It's gonna be a long offseason folks.

The Super Bowl is coming, so what better place to get all the latest insights and hottest gambling tips. You just know Chris is gonna loose all of the prop picks they've picked out. It couldn't be any worse than their live super bowl show from a few years back. But they don't stop there, they also smack talk Neverland Ranch, diamonds in your forehead, and Rusted Root just to open the show. Who's your favorite NBA-team-of-the-season? You're gonna have to listen to find out who on these fellas list. They restart they're day-of-show NBA game bet. After that, it's all Super Bowl and gambling. It's sexy as hell jack!

What do we talk about when there's no football? Oh just eating and sleeping habits while traveling. We also talk about the pettiness of everyone involved in the baseball Hall of Fame. Somehow they manage to tie in the passing of Hank Aaron to Hawthorne Wingo, before settling on Walt "Clyde" Frazier needs to hang up the microphone. It's time, We're sorry to be the ones, but trust us it's for the best. We stick to basketball trying out a new segment called "Just the Thibs,' plus we give Doc Rivers a new nickname. We preview some Super Bowl prop bets just to finish this off nice and properly.

Ep. 221 Not For Nothin' 2020 NFL Conference Championship Picks by Kris and Chris

What are you watching in the morning when you're not working and a stay at home house-husband? It might just be an unsolvable question. There's so much not to like about the Nets trading for Harden. But in the end... what the hell, go for it. What's the worse that could happen? Their hottest take might be sympathetic towards Kyrie Irving. Finally, they try not to pick every NFL playoff game wrong. The odds aren't good though.

In this second version of episode 219, the boys half-ass recap the show they did in the morning. Tommy Lasorda died, then MLB does something else stupid. Then the Nets retro jerseys suck, Carson Wentz should go to the XFL. Chris recaps our pre-season predictions and then they make some terrible NFL playoff bets. Long-story short, an intern is to blame and is fired.

New Year, same crap. Kris is hung over, while Chris is angry listening to someone else's sports podcast. I think they accidentally created a "redneck old fashion," before realizing the only meaningful takeaway this early in the NBA season is Becky Hammon can legit coach and she deserves a legit chance to be in charge. Otherwise, they do the foolish thing and gamble on week 17 NFL games. that's just stupid. Happy New Year everyone.

After sucking down the egg nog for the past week, the boys grab the go-to hair-of-the-dog to knock down the in-law hangover - bloody mary's on a Sunday Morning just before watching football! What could be better. There's a little NBA talk, and bagging on the Knick mess. Plus they make their week 16 picks for the NFL. But the real point to listen to this episode, are the last 10 minutes of the show. The boys may have struck literary gold, creating a new genre; historical, erotica fan-fiction involving the Bills - Belichick, O'Brien & O'Reilly. with a little hint of Harry Potter. It's almost too good, it should never be made. Happy Holidays everyone!

It sounds like the boys may have a ground breaking study on how to keep your hot cup of coffee warmer, longer. But in that same breath, Kris throws the bottle of Jameson to the curb. Is it an over-rated whiskey? They do a down-and-dirty-and worthless NBA Season preview. It feels very chalky. So at least it's quick. The things they agree on are Lakers, Nets & Russell Westbrook is the Jameson of the NBA. Think on that one. They move onto picking the NFL week 15 lines. Which, actually they have a good season record. How about that? This week is not worth watching at all. Instead buy your women a pair of pajamagrams. Don't forget to use our discount code at checkout!

We show some love to "Tiny" Lister who tragically passed away. We throw in a little soccer talk. Then disparage "Pandemic P" as much as possible, but realize he does not have the worst contract in the NBA. Gordon Hayward, where you at?! We throw some NFL playoff bets around before doing what feels like a lighting round of week 14 games picks. There's no way Chris can duplicate last weeks 13-2 record. Is there? Sorry RJ, I think we forgot to give you some props and a shout out too...

One of the shows hosts is a hopeful optimist. While the other is Chris. But neither of them are hopeful or optimistic about Nate Robinson's boxing career, MLB's offseason buzz, or the third Ball Brothers chances of making the NBA. You know what they are both hopefully optimistic about? Bol Bol's chances of winning rookie of the year. Also not a hot take, just a true take - fictitious baseball movies are way better and more interesting than real baseball. Are any of you hopeful or optimistic about these two guys successfully picking any of week 13 games? I didn't think though.

The Redneck (oh, sorry southern country) genre on television has definitely been covered in depth and to death. Except the boys talked themselves into just one more gem. "Redneck Hovers." Fine, we'll explain but you have to listen to the show. The good news it's within the first five minutes. Chris says goodbye to the greatest NYC Mayor of them all, David Dinkins. Chris reached out to a few loyal listeners to compile some Thanksgiving Day Parlays. It's an annual tradition now, I think? They tie that into the rest of week 12 picks. I think Chris is thankful that Kris went 2-12 last week, to even things up a bit.

An NBA draft preview show like no other. Which draft pick will the Knicks fans hate? Will the Sixers take another non-shooing wing? Where will Nico Mannion end up. These are the burning questions we don't really answer for you. Plus Kris has one good baseball story, finally. Chris also started off the show with an Andy Capp deep dive, which no one under 50 will be able to understand or appreciate. Luckily, it did reveal a bit of Kris's past life, attempting to be a cartoonist in his younger days. They finish off another long-winded show frustratingly making week 11 NFL picks out of spite and anger.

The show starts out a little differently, as a tribute to Chris favorite all-time swinging sports announcer. If you don't know who it is, then you just don't know nothin'. Kris has his own tribute to the greatest Canadian game show host of all damn time. Just try to come for him They work their way through some prop bets for the Masters and the NBA Draft,

This episode starts off with our hosts deep in discussion about the genesis of coming to accept and own a cell phone. Surprisingly, Chris held out from making the switch by owning a pager. I have no words. They move on to brilliant idea how to make watching football better. It's actually might be a genius idea that someone else will steal and make millions from. Finally, they try to rebound from a terrible week 8 of picking every single NFL game. At least they're still above .500. That's something, right?

In honor of Halloween, the boys discuss something terrifying. Trying to defend your house while buck-ass naked. Would having a weapon in your hand even make a difference? They won't even let the Dodgers celebrate their World Series, because baseball is ridiculous. This season, these playoffs, this series, the WS MVP, just keep adding layers of proof that baseball just keeps getting it wrong. Who the F is Jeff Garcia anyway? This is the only thing that has made him relevant in 10 years. They end the show, as always, trying to gamble on every single game, every single week in the NFL. You win some, you lose some.

Chris starts off the show with a strong recommendation for a Kevin Smith movie called Tusk. You'll have to see it to believe it. They move on to their favorite albums of 1991. There are a lot to choose from and apparently Kris knocks it out of the park leaving Chris unable to add much to it. Plus they're able to piss their old friend RJ Weaver while doing it. They answer the age-old question why is a wide receiver called a wide receiver, which is a perfect segue into making their NFL picks for week 7. This season is so crazy that Chris is a fan of Troy Aikman now! Thank god 2020 is almost over.
