The West is a Mess, or the Best? | Ep10

Mez & Aharon, with the help of producer man Matt, talk about who won and lost in the most eventful NBA tradeline ever on this latest episode of the NO GPS podcast. They discuss the Hollywood antics of the now better equipped Los Angeles Lakers (2:01), the now disbanded Basquait painting Brooklyn Nets squad (11:23) and Aharon’s beloved & underperforming Toronto Raptors (14:54). 

 

Everything from how restless and perpetually unsatisfied elite NBA players (free agent - 33:47) persistently seeking out greener pastures is analogous to the digital nomadic lifestyles of privileged Millennials & Gen Z’ers who roam the world searching for idyllic landscapes and the most plaint of populaces to satiate their fantasies & libidinal desires is discussed (consider this a knock on the passport bro movement). You’ll love this episode of NO GPS because the guys are bringing you novel takes, comedic segues and seering cultural analysis.
