Get ready for a wild and unapologetically off-the-rails ride on this week's “Kliq This,” as Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick things off by pondering one of life's real head-scratchers: ever have a day where you just want to be a small Asian woman getting railed…by yourself? The conversation only gets crazier from there, with Sean offering White Lotus updates and Kev comparing it all to who-knows-what from past pop culture. You'll wonder if the guys have traveled to an alternate universe—or maybe they're just enjoying their front-row seats to the strangest corners of wrestling and TV. Before you know it, Nash and Oliver are dissecting a particularly spiky moment on AEW Dynamite, featuring Moxley, Cope (or maybe Edge—you be the judge), and that now-infamous toilet brush from hell. A little ringworm talk floats by next, because what's a wrestling deep dive without a few nasty tales of unclean mats, questionable promoters, and every other pitfall of life on the road? As Kev always says, you don't truly know pain until you see how nasty things get when half the roster's dealing with ringworm and you're seriously debating whether to walk out before showtime. Looking for more road stories and real talk? Kevin's got you covered on how to survive travel, the subtle art of “regularity” on the road, and why you should never trust the catering in certain promotions. He also dives into behind-the-scenes madness with talent arrivals, bizarre run-ins, and all the million little things that make wrestling shows the glorious cluster they often are. If you've ever thought about bringing your own toilet paper to a gig, congratulations—you and Big Sexy think alike. Of course, it wouldn't be “Kliq This” without the guys hitting you with left-field humor and some big-guy financial chatter. Kevin muses on everything from investment advice to bracket busters, because apparently, a deep dive on Kenyon Martin and the Florida basketball program pairs perfectly with stories about near-death experiences in the ring. Think of it like the perfect storm of wrestling nostalgia, stock tips, and comedic tangents only Nash and Oliver can conjure. By the time they wrap, your head will be spinning with random trivia, locker room memories, and the undeniable, unfiltered chemistry that only happens when The Big Guy and Sean get in front of the mic. Come for the unholy joke about iguana eggs, stay for the inside scoop on how not to get impaled by a spiked brush. If you're looking for that genuine, laugh-so-hard-you-cry vibe with just a touch of backstage scandal, you've found your new favorite hour right here on “Kliq This.” Enjoy the ride…and maybe pack some baby wipes.

Strap in and try to keep up, as we attempt to follow the peripatetic 58-year journey of one of the NBA's most wandering franchises - with New York-area sports beat reporter Rick Laughland ("A History of the Nets: From Teaneck to Brooklyn"). Today's Brooklyn Nets club began its life in 1967 as the New Jersey Americans - a charter member of the American Basketball Association, playing at the Teaneck Armory. A year later, they moved to Long Island (LI Arena, then Island Garden, then Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum) to become the New York Nets, winning two ABA championships (1974, 1976) behind superstar Julius Erving. Absorbed into the NBA in 1976, the team struggled financially and was forced to sell Erving, leading to early-season struggles. In 1977, they relocated to the Garden State as the New Jersey Nets, playing at Rutgers Athletic Center (now Jersey Mike's Arena) before moving to Brendan Byrne (aka Meadowlands) Arena in 1981. After almost becoming the "Swamp Dragons" in 1994, the early 2000s saw breakthrough success with Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson - making back-to-back NBA Finals runs in 2002 and 2003. Before a brief move to Newark's Prudential Center (2010–12), the team relocated to Brooklyn's purpose-built Barclays Center, with a complete franchise name, logo and color-scheme rebrand. Initially building around Deron Williams, they later pursued star power with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, followed by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden in 2019–2021. Still bereft of an elusive NBA title, will the Nets continue to ply their trade in Brooklyn - or will they eventually return to their nomadic ways? + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): " A History of the Nets: From Teaneck to Brooklyn": https://amzn.to/41oxSev FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/
