For Noah Hessdorf and Gabe Goldstein, much has changed since graduating from Brandeis in May 2018. Apartments were moved into and left, jobs came and went, and cities have nearly been burned to the ground. But in a sea of change, one thing has stayed the same: the two basketball diehards never miss an opportunity to argue about the latest storylines in hoops.
Jam-packed episode with your boys this week! Won't want to miss this one.
The guys start with some updates about the show, and then it's time for a little LA talk (and a little Brooklyn of course) (0:45) And Gabe is ready for the regular season to be over (7:50). Gabe then shoutouts the Knicks and all the ex lakers... and then the grizz get their love (12:00), don't miss when Producer Matt and his Minnesota brethren get roasted (19:30). We return from the break and answer the listeners' questions! (20:30) And Noah finally gives the Knicks their due (26:00). Also, we might be trying to setup Memphis Grizzlies' forward John Konchar? (31:00) and we finish with some matchups to look forward to and some trademark positivity (including a quick debate about the worst sports city in America)(34:30)
The guys drop their usual fire takes and begin with big news about Gabe's hair. The actual start of the show recaps March madness, specifically Gonzaga vs. UCLA and Gabe has a become a women's college basketball Stan (1:15). Gabe then highlights some key takeaways from the nba right now., and tears are shed over Gabe's favorite player leaving the grizzlies (12:30). Noah and gabe do some shoutouts; a little nets talk for the people! Who is the biggest threat to Brooklyn? (18:00) Then it's everyone's favorite time of the podcast, Dumb It Down! Casual basketball fans you must tune in to get your quick recap so your friends think you're smart. What's the deal with the play in game? (26:20) The conversation turns to what we are looking towards during the final stretch of the regular season. (Did you know Nba players are real people too?) (32:00) Producer Matt has a stat correction! And we list all the players we've seen in real life (35:00). We finish off the show with some positivity to take us into our weekend (41:30)
The Brandeis boys are back with Ep. 3 of the Full-Court Press revival and they're spicing things up with some hot new segments. The pod starts with "Key Takeaways" from the first 1/3 of the season (1:03); followed by "Shoutouts" to heap praise on some early-season unsung heroes (9:50); and features Noah's reckoning with just how wrong he was about the Brooklyn Hardens (15:50). The team brings us home with "Dumb it Down," a new segment for basketball casuals looking to expand their water-cooler convo range (26:10); "Looking at You," which highlights key themes to watch for before the All-Star stoppage (29:20); and, as always, "Final Thoughts," including the requisite Grizz Nation shoutout (37:50).
This week's FCP opens with Noah's unfiltered reaction to the James Harden trade news (0:55), thoughts on what it means to be the fan of a team versus the fan of a franchise (10:00), and early impressions from a predictably odd start to the NBA season (25:05) Plus, the boys discuss the surprising Knicks (34:15), Gabe rants about his least favorite Grizzly (37:55), and the co-hosts close with some refreshingly deep final thoughts (44:10).
In Full-Court Press's triumphant return to the airwaves in over a year, Noah and Gabe recap the NBA Bubble, analyze the biggest offseason moves, and look ahead to what will assuredly be the most bizarre season in NBA history.
