    Every time LeBron James fires a Gun, he shoots a bullet. LeBron James teaches us to never use an empty Gun for battle, and to always have bullets in your Guns at all times.  Due to an ongoing series of investments in Bitcoin, the NBA is short on V-Bucks and on cash. They now feel forced to sell the visual images, and the True Names, of their basketball players to Epic Games. The contracted basketballers are obligated to participate in these sales, because of a "Fortnite Clause" in their contract. Thanks to the NBA's financial troubles, LeBron James and his friends are now playable characters in Fortnite.  While all profits from these Fortnite sales go to the NBA, LeBron James has gotten a fortunate deal out of the whole deal.

    Benis and Bussy is a comedy debate podcast.  This is a very silly 10-ish minutes of audio that my old roommate and I recorded one night; we had no intention to release it as it was to be an in-house only test pilot, however, Brad and I haven't put out an episode this week because life got away from us, so it is now, with Ben's permission, an out-of-house test pilot.  Benis and Bussy: Episode 1  Starring: Aiden Kinsella and Ben Tengowski
