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,...

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

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 y...

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 be...

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

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 jus...

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...

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...

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 reco...

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 movi...

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...

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....

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...

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 t...

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 i...

In honor of Kris's new home renovation, Chris decides to watch the 80's cult classic comedy sensation (not sure if any of that is true), The Money Pit! It doesn't go well. The movie, not the home reno...uh, yeah maybe both. That delves into a long and winding discussion of actual legit funny movies. Switching to sports, we give praise to the Lakers for wining the bubble title (we have to call it t...

We give all praise and love to the GOAT, Sue Bird. LeBron can't even f*ck with her in the ring department. We're not sure she'll ever reconsidered the greatest of all time, but in our minds and hearts, there's no one who is. We get around to commemorating the legacy of Eddie Van Halen. But in all honesty, even if he were the greatest guitar player ever, he's no Sue Bird, god damnit! So we move on...

Better late than never with the show I guess, huh? Once they get around to doing this weeks show, the put Pat Riley up on a pedestal where he belongs along side Red Auerbach as one of the best execs ever. They also try to convince themselves the Doc Rivers is the cure for all the Sixers ailments. Once Chris gets over his Connecticut Sun losing, he jumps on the Seattle Storm bandwagon with Kris. Th...

Chris takes a victory lap on saying what everyone else refused to say, Van Morrison is the worst. Turns out he was right. We do a little NBA trivia. But the piece de resistance is of course NFL week 3 picks. We're hiding a huge successful week 2 high, so nothing can stop us now!

We dream of a day where the only fitting outcome to the 2020 NBA season would be a Heat-Nuggets finals. But we realize that a Lakers-Celtics is all but written by some sort of basketball cabal. Maybe like the rest of this year, it's what we ultimately deserve. We also make our week 2 NFL picks. We did so bad the first week, we really need to win our money back and fast, before the wives figure out...
