First Team All Nonsense Podcast

Previous season wrapup, season preview, 1st quarter of season check-in, and Christmas Special, all in one!

On the eve of Round One of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, the boys are discussing the two BIM teams that made it into the playoffs, and what the offseason portends for...the other.

Pacers, on Turner & blowing it up. Celtics, on Tatum shooting woes. Timberwolves, on KAT vs the refs.

Only, replacing the traditional scripted Christmas bits with more talk about Star Trek

A lotta Trek. A bit o' Scotch. Wolf hope, Pacer woe.

Oh, and Timberwolves, Celtics, and Pacers season wrap ups.

What up, Celtics & Pacers? Hope in Timberwolf land.

Celtics not doing so hot. Timberwolves doing baaaaaad. Pacers doing aight

Celtics doing great. Timberwolves doing bad. Pacers doing just right   Plus, scads more fun!

Pat's idea for birthday wishes for everybody associated with the Celtics, Pacers, and Timberwolves goes longer than we expect! Also, Dan drinks 12-year Scotch.

Mixdorf, Gibbons, and Dan return this year for yet another instant Holiday Classic. This year's episode features: The Island of Misfit Timberwolves A peek inside the Pacer war-room in the (Aaron) Holiday Season The first annual all Holiday NBA name countdown A visit from St. Knicks! A Celtic Christmas that doesn't involve uilleann pipes and a bombarde. A special rendition of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Kristaps" And more!

The crüe is back at it again after...(seven?) months, but just in time for the NBA's 2020-2021 season, with talk about the Celtics, Pacers, and Timberwolves with their usual brand of GENIUS. Join in, to find out What Gibbons is Drinking, the Deal With the Van, and the Book Dan is Reading. And much more.

0:00 Intro, Drinking, Doing 23:00 General NBA - we salute you on Memorial Day in a way only we can 29:45 Team stuff 41:00 Culture Ruminations - or Dan shakes fist at Hollywood shaped cloud, and more than the listener cares to know about Epicurians  

Or "Making (Non)Sense of the Crisis" As much nonsense as may be mustered in these dark days. What we've been up to, what we're drinking, some NBA thoughts, and some culture thoughts, as usual, but through a lens of the times. A few laughs a long the way, and an Easter Egg or two. Cuddle up with a black coffee and the camaraderie of  Mixdorf, Gibbons, and Dan and for a spell.

Wherein Gibbons is not present and Mixdorf and Dan discuss the simultaneous blessing and curse that is the social media savvy-ness of the NBA and the fraudulent Miami Heat. Wherein Dan also talks about how there is great hope and excitement in the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves, but also great danger! And wherein Mixdorf speaks of a variety of Celtic topics: "what's the ceiling?," the rise of Tatum," and that of "bench woes." Finally, in the "culture" segment, Dan discusses his recent reading of Beowolf and Mixdorf shares a little about his recent "literary fiction" foray. Somehow, they fill an hour and fifteen minutes with that.

You know the deal...

This is an odd one. Again, Mixdorf & Dan going it as a duo (expect the return of Gibbons in the near future - he's just been busy). Mixdorf recorded his signal (so Dan suspects) way hot coming in, so sounds a bit potted out in the mix. Plus, discussion of the Wolves' 3-0 start was quite literally about one hour before KAT's throwdown with Embiid so one might ask, at this point, "what's the point?" The point is, of course, fun as usual. Aslo..if you hang with us we truly are beginning to expand on our "culture" discussion a bit. Lots of fun after the 44-minute mark of this episode 44.

Indy still can't crack that top 4; Eastern Conference swapping Cleveland out for Milwaukee. Myles Turner frustration. A fine team, but maybe a team not "on-the-rise."50:42 Mixdorf, Boston: Underperforming. Oddly bad in pick-and-roll. Tatum turning into Andrew Wiggins.

This episode represents First Team All Nonsense's final episode of our NBA-themed era. In doing a little reflection regarding the content and "mission" of this podcast, we came to the belief that if people are out there really looking for an NBA-exclusive podcast...well, frankly, they have other options. While we think it's been a fun & quirky approach to focus primarily on the Timberwolves, Celtics, and Pacers, the reality is that it has put us an awkward in-between space that does not cater enough to fans of any one of the three individual franchises, but probably also not broadly enough to engage the "NBA Generalist." In short, we've really been setting ourselves up to fail in terms of hoping to grow listenership substantially, over time. At the same time, as is probably evident in the episodes to date, we really enjoy each other's company. What is really most important to us to to have a chance to get together and just chat. We also have come to sense that limiting the scope of our podcast to only (or primarily) the NBA is to limit potential new fertile grounds for random silly thoughts, obscure references, and general fun...namely that which most distinguishes First Team All Nonsense. Excactly the form the show is going to take is still somewhat of an open question. But right now it feels like the energy is taking it more towards a "pop culture generalist" focus...with the "popular" aspect of the term "pop" applying only most loosely. Basically talking about that which we're most into, and finding connecting, revealing experiences with each other and - hopefully - our listeners. If you have tuned into past episodes primarily for the NBA talk, thank you!! We hope that you have found enough fun and nonsense in and around the basketball to keep you with us as we explore this new direction. For those of you that have, as our general intro says, stuck around "in spite of the basektball talk," expect your eyes to glaze over less often. Thanks again for listening. We're excited about this new direction and can't wait to get after it in Episode 29!

Not your father's Celtics, Pacers, Timberwolves podcast 0:00 Cold Open2:30 Bump3:38 Normal Open4:55 What are you drinking?WHAT'S GOIN' ON, G!?-11:05 Gibbons: More on re-mixing music from old analog tape. Re-mastering vs re-recording of Rio Paraguay. Apparently, we're all in agreement. Plus - an idea of an instrumental Uncle Funky (all of this of GREAT INTEREST to those of you who followed our band, 44, back in the 90s).- 17:30 Dan: Dan had a bad morning of shooting (Saturday league play), and the pursuit of the elusive "Perfect Form." Also, some thoughts on the pursuit of happiness.- 22:37 Mixdorf: A time-stamp on the government shutdown and a stake in the ground as to our support for helping people rather than hurting them, and treating those less fortunate and marginalized people in our country with grace and kindness. All Are Welcome on First Team All Nonsense. And to be more blunt...we're pro-immigrant.GENERAL NBA THOUGHTS23:23 Mixdorf: On tossing to/on Mixdorf. Low-scoring games, similar to mid-90s-era. Theory on chippiness resulting from everone realizing the inevitability of Golden State. Dan advances theory of pendulum swinging back from space & pace aesthetic of Golden State. Opposite end of spectrum is contact, bodies in the paint...29:35 Gibbons: NSDS: NBA Season-al Depression Syndrome that comes about this time of year. A race to get to the All Star Break.30:37: Dan advocates for less time spent actively engaging (particularly with fans...such bad takes!) on social media, more paid promotion to increase listenership for this podcast. Does this sound bad? Hopefully not! It's just a matter coming to terms with the fact that social media use is a theif of happiness (see above). Oh, and another stake in the ground: we, here at First Team All Nonsense, can't/won't watch replays of injuries.BIM THOUGHTS (aka Boston, Indiana, Minnesota)-34:59 Dan/Timberwolves: Wolves playing very well (but for current two-game skid). Re: Jeff Teague still finding his place. Better D! And "losing to bad teams?" Bring it on. We're not going to play bad teams in the playoffs!-41:28 Gibbons/Pacers: Up & down. Turner out. That doesn't help. Al Jefferson: dangerous over short distances. More on "Letting the Lance Out When It's Good to Let the Lance Out." Back to Dances with .500! Quick, half-hearted attempt to ressurect Mixdorf's Frisky Rankings.-47:37 Mixdorf/Boston: Boston's weirdly bad offense. They "don't play hard enough" on offense, as though from the Bizzaro-world of the NBA. Boston's great offense - playing up to the competition.51:47 2nd Annual LONDON TIMES REPORT56:11 Anything Else? Taking a moment to appreciate Dan's 1st or 2nd favorite sports-watching moment of his life, the Vikings' victory over the Saints to reach the NFC Championship game. Simply amazing.1:00:52 Close1:01:26 Bump1:01:54 Out

During this episode, Gibbons refers to audio editing for a song, Rio Paraguay, extracted from an old VHS tape of a 44 (Gibbons and Dan's old band) performance in the 1990s. We decided to use this song (albeit still awaiting mastering) to close the show. For more information about music by Pat and Dan, visit raftingrecords.com.1:07:11 Close.
