We return just in time for the celebrated “pro sports equinox", that special sliver of the year when the big four pro sports leagues are all in action simultaneously. These last few weeks demonstrated some parity in the NFL, with all of the major contenders for the Superbowl suffering some puzzling losses. KC struggles in the high altitude of Denver. Was it Taylor Swift's fault for not showing up? (Heresy!) The Niners are in the midst of a 3-game skid, and their bye week couldn't come fast enough. With a puzzling loss to the Jets, a dismantling of Miami, and a squeaker over Washington, Philly needs to pick a lane. In baseball, chaos reigns as the World Series features a match-up of two wildcard teams. Texas looks to finish off Arizona to earn its first ever title, and Corey Seager seems on pace for his second World Series MVP. And, finally, the NBA season is off and running. Chef Curry is showing zero signs of aging, Wemby worked a little magic with a crazy 20-point rally to knock off Kevin Durant's Suns this week, and the Harden experiment is finally over in Philly. -- 00:00: Theme Song & Intro 00:30: Joe is in a weird place with the pro sports equinox 06:45: Erik "Stone Cold Sports Recap Man" 09:15: James Harden Trade Grades 22:45: World Series Check-in: why is there no national juice for these games? 30:28: Sponsor Read: Couch Potato's Yellows 31:15: Unnecessary Bets of the Week: Picking the 14-team Exacto of NFL Playoff Teams 51:49: Crystal Ball –- Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

In this week's World of Sports, Dan Campbell and the Fightin' Lions bottle up  the Chiefs offense while Tua, Tyreek,  and the Dolphins of Miami go nuclear wasteland, leaving Patrick Mahomes with a wandering eye toward what could have been if his wide receivers weren't the worst in the NFL, the Cowboys embarrass the Giants on national TV in a game that left even Daniel Jones's family looking for cover, the 49ers look legit as can be as Brock Purdy continues to Brock Purdy, the Eagles escape with a mistake-filled close call of a win over the Patriots, the Los Angeles Rams dismantle Las Vegas's 6 win expectations with a rough roughshodding of the Seahawks, the Packers prove there is life after Rodgers as they send the Bears into hibernation, while Jets fans ponder the meaning of life as they, too, must contemplate life after Aaron Rodgers, with his entire Jets career yielding a total of 4 plays and 1 incomplete pass.

In this week's World of Sports, the Denver Nuggets dismantled the Miami Heat in 5 games to claim the city and franchise's first-ever NBA championship, Nikola Jokic cements himself as the world's greatest current living basketball player, LeBron James and the Lakers are left wondering if maybe they were the 2nd best team in the NBA this year, while the Heat went 2–7 in their last 9 playoff games, which is, uhhhh, not great!

In this week's NBA action, the Heat demolish the Celtics, sending them into a tailspin and an offseason of chaos, deserved or not. Jimmy Butler and Grant Williams butt heads, literally, as Jimmy cements himself as an NBA playoff legend, casting his former franchises of the Bulls, Timberwolves, and Sixers into despair as they wonder how they blew it. They had him in the building and they let him go! They showed him the door! Tobias Harris over me?! In Denver, the Nuggets dethrone King James and the Lakers, sending them to the brink ahead of tonight's game and leaving a resurgent LA Lakers fanbase wondering if this is their last chance for a playoff winner during the LeBron era. Jokic looks every bit the 2-time MVP, Jamal Murray is scorching hot from 3, and thinnest but tallest, the Wembanyama sweepstakes comes to a close as the Spurs win the lottery, again, and with the draft now exactly 1 month away, NBA trade season is officially open for business. Plus, Crystal Ball where we predict if Lebron makes it to Bronny's entry into the league, where Bronny will get drafted, how many All-Star games will Wembanyama go to, and which team wins the NBA title and in how many games. -- 00:00: Theme Song & SportsWorld in 60 seconds 2:00: Heat-Celtics 15:40: Sponsor of the Week: Sally's Sleepytime Siesta Sleep Gym  17:07: Nuggets-Lakers 28:09 : NBA Lottery Outcomes 40:00: Crystal Ball High Jinx #70 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

In this week's show, the Lakers oust the defending champion Warriors, sending their title defense spinning around the tube and throwing their offseason into utter chaos, the Celtics vanquish the Sixers, as Tatum goes scorched Earth with a new game 7 record of 51 points, while the Sixers melted down like a plastic toy figurine in a campfire blaze, the Nuggets insist that everyone is sleeping on them as title favorites after dispatching the Suns into the sun and cajoling Matt Ishbia to part ways with 2x Coach of the Year Monty Williams, while Jalen Brunson did his best East Coast Steph Curry impression but still came nowhere close to topping Jimmy Butler and the South Beach Miami Heat All-Stars. Oh, and Ja Morant flashed a gun on Instagram Live, again. We end with Crystal Ball where we brainstorm the new Las Vegas NBA team name, predict each NBA series, and make our pick for the official High Jinx NBA Draft Lottery Team of 2023. – 00:00: Theme Song and SportsWorld in 60 seconds 01:30: Celtics-Sixers 14:20: Lakers-Warriors 24:18: Sponsor of the Week: Carrie's Critters 26:30: Lakers, Nuggets, Chris Paul Trade Destinations 37:50: Ja Morant Situation 50:00: Crystal Ball: Las Vegas team name brainstorm, NBA Draft Lottery -- High Jinx #69 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

The Lakers push the Warriors to the edge. Could this be the end of their dynasty? The Sixers on the brink of reaching the Conference Finals for the first time since 2001, the year of Allen Iverson's MVP run, the Suns fight back but are way too reliant on incandescent shooting from Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, and if the Miami Heat clobber the Knicks in the middle of a forest but no one is watching, did it really happen? Along we talk how likable is Chris Paul, predictions for how 4 second round series will end, and wonder if Matt Ishbia might hire Better Call Saul in a lawsuit against Nikola Jokic. -- 00:00: Theme Song & Intro 25:20: Sponsor of the Week: Donny's Delusions on Demand 43:49: Crystal Ball --  High Jinx #68 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

In this week's show, LeBron, AD, Arkansas Kobe and the gang dispatch the immature and unlikeable Grizzlies, the Warriors survive their matchup with the Kings as Steph lands a 50-spot in game 7, only an ankle sprain can slow down Jimmy “Michael Jordan” Butler, the Knicks overthrow the Cavaliers despite Julius Randle not being 100%, the Suns love song to the midrange game could spell doom and gloom against the high-flying Denver Nuggets, the Celtics make it past the Hawks while looking wholly unimpressive but somehow still look like the favorites in the East, and the Sixers cut down the Nets in 4 but lose Embiid to a sprained knee, thrusting could-be-hero Bball Paul into the national spotlight in tonight's Game 1 matchup. We also talk playoff MVP, LVP, whether Sacramento should be happy with their season, Dirk vs. Charles Barkley as NBA playoff greats, whether LeBron's bubble championship counts as more or less than a normal championship, and James Harden's eating habits. For Crystal Ball, we take a stand and each make our pick for Game 1 of the could-be-epic Lakers-Warriors opening match. -- 00:00: Theme Song & Intro 25:30: Sponsor of the Week: Lazify Anti-Motivation App 42:20: Crystal Ball -- High Jinx #67 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

NBA playoffs are cruising, and it's an immediate reminder how fun basketball playoffs can be. Ezra was in the building for the Game 1 of the Kings-Warriors and we talk about the atmosphere, the fans, and whether standing is OK at a basketball game. We then review big takeaways from weekend 1, including Austin Reaves aka Arkansas Kobe, the most likable Lakers team since the Showtime 80s, the Bucks in trouble without Giannis, Sixers cruising, Hawks folding, Nuggets looking like West favorites, and the epic start to the (hopefully) 7-game series that will be the Warriors and Kings.

We return from our post-NCAA March Madness hiatus with an action-packed pod, the longest one in High Jinx history. Previewing the NBA playoffs is the main focus, but we start with thoughts on the Rudy Gobert punch, the Mavs blatant (but understandable) tank job, and a Lakers team being actually kind of underdog-likable for the first-time in Lakers history. A 4-man NBA playoff draft commences where we each pick our squads for a High Jinx battle royale, we give a quick glance at the playoff bets that have our attention, and we close it out with Crystal Ball where baseball might actually be very back for the first time since the 1980s. Will someone steal 80 bases to celebrate? We give our picks on who it could be. And finally, how old is too old for a turtle to raise turtle kids and still make enough money to send them to college. -- 00:00 Theme Song & Intro: Rudy Gobert, Mavs tank job, Lakers likability resurgence 23:51: Sponsor of the Week: Carina's Custom Kicks 25:25: NBA Playoffs Team Draft Battle Royale (Eastern Conference) 41:15: NBA Playoffs Team Draft (Western Conference) 1:01:28: Crystal Ball -- High Jinx #65 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

Eric Bieniemy still does not have a Head Coach position in the NFL, despite consistent success and 2 Super Bowl titles as the Kansas City offensive coordinator. Is this yet another example of racism in NFL hiring practices? Joe and Ezra are joined by special guest Erik to dive deep into the curious case of Eric Bieniemy and try to figure out how a 2x Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator does not yet have an opportunity to lead his own team. -- 00:00: Theme Song & Intro 00:30: Deep Dive on NFL Hiring Practices and Eric Bieniemy in particular 57:22: Closing Song -- High Jinx #63 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com

The fellas recap Conference Championship Weekend in 60 seconds, check on the QB fallout in San Francisco, measure the Eagles' dominance, and ponder Joe Burrow's next contract before taking early bets on the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl matchup where Kurtis likes one team to win by 10+ points, invent a new sport involving speedos and avocados, and ponder life's important questions such as exactly how many avocados do you think you could fit into an Olympic-sized swimming pool. 00:00: Theme Song & Weekend Recap 01:50: 49ers-Eagles Fallout 22:20: Bengals-Chiefs 34:58: Sponsor of the Week: Heato's Hot Hot Snack Chips 36:14: Unnecessary Bets of the Week 47:20: Crystal Ball -- High Jinx #59 Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com
