Nathan remembers saying goodbye to Dikembe Mutombo, needed to see Arnold with a coffin on his shoulder, and tells Pat why he “loves” Megachurches. Pat wanted a moral victory for the Nugs, has the Terminator 2 song stuck in his head, and wants to go to a church with a Coke Freestyle Machine. I thought the news was PG.

0:00 - Yesterday, Josh Kroenke addressed the media and announced the hiring of David Adelman and the new Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets. Interim no more. How do we feel about the hiring, especially since they don't have a new GM yet?16:36 - Josh K's presser had a common theme yesterday. Most of the Nuggets answers will be "internal." What does that mean exactly?36:23 - Another week, another new low point for the Rockies. They continue to make history for all the wrong reasons!
0:00 - Rosterwise, what's the first move the Nuggets need to make this offseason?12:26 - It'll be hard for the Nuggets to make a trade that would be immediately impactful. They don't have nearly enough leverage to make a blockbuster trade. Also, have the Avs finally figured out that ever-elusive 2nd line center position? If not, what's the solution?30:59 - Now that the Avs and Nugs are both eliminated, are you watching other playoff games? Will you still tune into NHL and NBA games? Or are you angrily tuning out?
0:00 - The Nuggets started strong in Game 7! OKC looked scared! And then the Nuggets blew it. They started serving up piping hot turnovers and never looked back. So Nuggets fans, if you're bringing up Scott Foster's name at all today, you've lost sight of what actually happened. 13:25 - Christian Braun is due for a contract extension soon, and ESPN's Bobby Marks says CB could command over $30 million per year. Can the Nuggets afford that? More importantly, can they afford to let CB walk?33:28 - What the difference between the Avalanche offseason and the Nuggets offseason in terms of feelings surrounding the team, changed that need to be made, etc?
0:00 - Brett still isn't a Rory McIlroy guy. In fact, something happened the other day that makes him dislike Rory even more. After that, we've been hyperfocused on the Nuggets during their series with OKC. We haven't talked about the opponent as much. We've barely mentioned SGA at all. Why is that?15:08 - The Broncos released their full 2025 schedule yesterday. Which means...it's time for the annual tradition...a spectacle like no other...it's time...for Moser...to give us his GAME BY GAME PREDITIONS, BABY! That is a dub. Big time win!34:20 - What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory in Game 6 tonight?
0:00 - The Rockies finally fired Bud Black. Right or wrong, it was a necessary evil. But it's not enough. It reminded Kaner of a famous scene from one of his favorite TV shows.17:18 - Nuggets vs OKC is a Best of 3 series now. It's all tied up 2-2 headed back to OKC for Game 5. How do we feel about the Nuggets' odds to win 2 of the next 3 games?35:24 - Rantanen scored AGAIN for Dallas last night en route to another multi-point night. Fellow former Av Nazem Kadri took to Twitter/X to weigh in on the situation.

0:00 - The Nuggets lost by 43 POINTS TO OKC LAST NIGHT IN GAME 2. Sheesh! But in the grand scheme of things...it doesn' matter. Vic says there's no need to hit the panic button. Not even a little bit.15:16 - OKC plays a PHYSICAL brand of basketball. They kept beating up Joker and it rattled him a bit. Whether or not the whistles are inconsistent, Jokic has to learn how to play through it.34:39 - Did you watch the Stars game last night? Do we need to address the Mikko Rantanen elephant in the room?
0:00 - Vic, Marlowe, and Demspey went through a roller coaster of emotions during the final sequence of the Nuggets game. Their reactions were priceless. Let's roll the tape!13:55 - What's the difference between a "good" team and a "special" team? They're not the same. This Nuggets squad is "special," but we don't know if they're "good" enough to make it deeper into the playoffs.34:10 - The Thunder had 8 days rest before Game 1. The Nuggets had like 48 hours. The Thunder were at home. The Nuggets had to fly to OKC after a grueling 7-game series. And yet, the Nuggets won. Somehow, they found a way.
0:00 - Aaron Gordon made a shot. Against all odds, the Nuggets stole Game 1 from the Thunder in OKC! What a thrilling finish and a clutch shot from AG. 15:48 - Keep doubting the Nuggets! Every time we doubt them, they prove us wrong again and again. 34:24 - This is not the series for Jamal to go nuclear. OKC plays strong perimeter defense. You need Jokic to bully his way to the hoop.
0:00 - The Avalanche beat Dallas in Game 6 last night and they'll live to see another day. That was one of the wildest hockey games we've seen in a LONG time. It really felt like 3 games in one.15:36 - The Nuggets had the Clippers in their crosshairs, then self-inflicted wounds in the 3Q sealed their fate. Game 7 is coming back to Denver tomorrow.33:43 - We have a Game 7 Conflict Double Diparoo tomorrow. The Avs and Nugs games are separated by 30 min. That's it. They're stacked directly on top of each other. It's a slap in the face to the entire State of Colorado. After that, Peter DeBoer did what he did best in his postgame presser: complain about puck luck and officiating.
The guys fondly remember No Fear and Big Dog T-shirts, Brunson redefining clutch, do we like Clips or Nugs in Game 7, John Kruk is awesome, can JJ fat shame Luka into shape...which NFL team that just drafted in the Top 5 will make the playoffs this year...April 30th in the Mike Trout pool is this year's winner...Mike Silver on the Jags draft in the ticker then we Sprague the Line and tip our caps to Pop.
0:00 - It's a Game 6 Double Diparoo tonight. The Avs are fighting for their lives, and the Nugs have a chance to advance. The games are like 12 hours away, we're already nervous as can be. Some good nerves, some bad nerves. A healthy mix.15:39 - What are the most pressing needs for both the Avalanche and Nuggets tonight?33:35 - Jamal Murray is an enigma. He's tough to explain. Brett has a stat that adds to the confusion.
0:00 - For the last time until next NFL season, ESPN's Adam Schefter joined us today. What does he think about the Broncos 2025 Draft Class and the Shedeur Sanders Prank Call Heard Round the World?19:35 - The Nuggets have some leeway tonight. If they lose, their season isn't over. That doesn't matter. Go to LA, take care of business, and end it tonight.33:48 - A playoff Game 6 Double Diparoo calls for an extra-special double Keys to the Game.
0:00 - God forbid...what happens if the Avalanche don't make it past the first round? This ownership group showed us they're not afraid to make wholesale organizational changes (see the Nuggets about 1 month ago). 15:21 - Adam Schefter joined PHD yesterday and shared his perspective on both Shedeur's slide & the Broncos draft class. Next, Vic needs a lesson on gum etiquette at Nuggets practice.32:19 - Vic went to Nuggets practice yesterday to grab soundbites. One of the players got a bit snippy with him. He quibbled a tad.
It's a full old school cast, and we welcome Milty back! The squad reacts to the 2025 NFL Draft, and kick around the current playoff situations of the Avs and Nugs.
0:00 - Gabe Landeskog did the unthinkable. He returned to the ice and scored a goal in a playoff game! What an unbelievable comeback story. But for Brett, the goal wasn't even the most impressive part of Landy's night.15:13 - The Nuggets hung on to beat the Clippers in Game 4. Aaron Gordon's last millisecond dunk is a playoff moment for the ages. But here's the thing. It shouldn't have come to that. All the Nuggets had to do was not blow a 20+ point lead. Thankfully we can nitpick after a win!34:01 - The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books! How do we feel about the Broncos draft class?
0:00 - On Sammy G's goal, Gabe Landeskog parked himself in front of the net and stood strong. He battled with Dallas' bruisers and held his own. Next, Vic spoke with some sources close to the Broncos and NFL Draft, and they explained why no one wanted to touch Shedeur Sanders.15:53 - What was the craziest part of the sports weekend? Landy's goal? AG's buzzer beater dunk? Shedeur Sanders falling to the 5th round? Something else?32:52 - Did the Nuggets Game 4 win change your mind at all? Has your faith and confidence in them been restored?

**Producer's note: we had studio gremlins with a few of our audio clips. When I attempted to play them on air, they could be heard in some places and not in others. It was weird. I blame Mason Marchment and his flopping. So sorry if you hear any weirdness in spots. - Nelly0:00 - The Thrill of Victory. The Agony of Defeat. Last night was full of excitement, but it ultimately ended in a double Lose-A-Roo for the Ball Arena Roommates.16:21 - The Nuggets played a great game last night, but they still made critical mistakes throughout the game.36:33 - Brett's mood isn't as sour as Vic and Moser today. Is he crazy? Also, MPJ suffered a shoulder injury last night. He's had a gazillion injuries, but he's never hurt his shoulder before. How will MPJ handle the next few games, if he can go at all?
0:00 - The Avs 2nd line hasn't recorded a single point in 2 playoff games. Val Nichushkin has been held off the score sheet for 2 consecutive games. We didn't see that coming.14:54 - The vibes are weird on the show today because of the Double Lose-A-Roo. Understandably so. We need to work through our emotions. We need some sports talk therapy.31:51 - The Nuggets had one last timeout in their pocket last night when the game ended. That was the correct thing to do. Coach Adelman made the right decision not using the timeout.
0:00 - It's weird that the Avalanche 2nd line hasn't recorded a single point. The Choo Choo Train has yet to leave the station. Also, Landeskog warmed up with the team then didn't play. Why? Brett says the Avs could use his style of play against a tough goalie like Oettinger.18:10 - Nico Harrison finally addressed the media publicly after the Mavericks season wrapped up. Just when you think he can't say something even dumber than he has already, he finds a way. Then, are you more comfortable with the Avs situation or the Nuggets situation right now?36:11 - It's okay. Despite everything Vic and Moser said earlier, the sky isn't actually falling right now in Denver.
0:00 - What are we expecting from the Avs and Nuggets in the playoff? What would "success" look like for both these teams?17:06 - Who will be the "X-Factor" for both the Avs and Nuggets? Not counting the obvious choices like MacKinnon, Makar, Jokic, Murray, etc.35:01 - Let's set realistic expectations for Gabe Landeskog in the playoffs. What do we want to see from him?
0:00 - Spring is upon us, which mean Vic's Polyps are back in full force. Fingers crossed he survives a full show. After that, now that we're a week removed from the Malone & Booth firing, do we feel better about the Nuggets?16:14 - The Avs played well down the stretch (mostly) while the Stars played poorly. Will that affect the series at all? Are we making too much of these final games?35:25 - No matter what, it'll be a physical series vs Dallas. The Stars will absoLUTEly go for Gabe's knee. The second someone finds him in the corner they're gonna blow him up and test that knee.
0:00 - We didn't get the chance to chat with Leggy last week, so let's catch up with him today! He's inching closer to releasing his Top 100 list of draftable players. Can Brett finally get him to leak a few names?15:24 - The Avalanche announced that Gabe Landeskog has officially wrapped up his "conditioning loan" with the Eagles, and he'll return to the Avs. They have to wait until the regular season ends to officially activate him, but it's comin, baby. It's on the way.35:33 - Both the Nuggets and Avalanche will start the playoffs on Saturday. Will the Avs game conflict with the Nuggets game time-wise? How do you choose what to watch in a Double Dip Conflictaroo?
0:00 - As it stands right now, are you feeling better about the Avalanche or the Nuggets heading into the playoffs?12:39 - Despite the season that OKC had, it doesn't seem like a guarantee they'll win the West. It's weird that we feel that way. You could argue anyone from seeds 1-8 have a good change of making it out. 31:27 - Brett has a weird quirk that stems from mild childhood trauma. Later today, Josh Kroenke will address the media at Ball Arena. What do you want to hear from him? What would you ask him?
0:00 - The Avalanche saw a problem with their team, and Chris MacFarland solved it by retooling the entire roster. They had a completely new goalie duo before December was over! The Nuggets saw a problem, and couldn't solve is with roster moves. So they went a completely different route.12:14 - Charles Barkley aka Sir Charles aka The Round Mound of Rebound himself joined us today! He shared the national perspective on the Nuggets parting ways with their head coach and GM a mere 3 games before the playoffs.36:03 - Josh Kroenke kept telling Vic he thinks the current roster still has some juice left and he wants to squeeze out as much of that juice as possible. Is he right? Does this roster have any juice?
In this One Hitter, we chat with the folks behind Fat Nugs Magazine, a publication that celebrates cannabis culture through storytelling, art, and advocacy. We dig into how the magazine got started, its mission to spotlight diverse voices in the weed world, and why they believe cannabis media should be as bold and creative as the people who smoke it. A short, stoney convo about big buds and bigger ideas.Give us a follow on Instagram: @high.expectations.podCheck out Fat Nugs Magazine! @fat_nugs_magReach out with comments or suggestions at podcast.highexpectations@gmail.comMusic courtesy of Vince Sasso of the Vince Sasso Trio(check them out on Instagram! @vincesassotrio)
0:00 - Who do the Nuggets want to face in the first round of the playoffs? Should they hope for a good matchup? Or do they need to face Minnesota and exorcise their demons?17:09 - There's ANOTHER Mission Impossible movie? Maybe these missions weren't so impossible after all. How many of these dang things can Tom Cruise make?33:41 - Do you want to enjoy a Masters Dinner at home? (if you're like Moser and can't get an invite to Augusta) You're in luck! You can have a copy of the dinner shipped to your home.
0:00 - The Nuggets are in quicksand right now. Plain and simple. They're sinking, and the more they struggle, the worse it gets. 16:51 - The Vibes are off with the Nuggets right now. Everything they do feels like an incredible struggle. Do we still believe they can "turn it on" in the playoffs? 34:51 - The Avalanche lost to the Blues this weekend and it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. It would've been nice to end STL's 11-game winning streak (which is now 12 after beating the Avs) but it's fine. The Avs are still licking their chops waiting for the playoffs to arrive.
0:00 - We don't like being negative about the Nuggets! We miss feeling optimistic about them! But we don't have any reason to expect they'll be a different team in the playoffs. 15:54 - March Madness doesn't have the same allure it once did. Moser and Vic barely know anyone playing in the tournament right now, but they can name the Phi Slamma Jamma roster off the top of their heads (mostly).32:26 - We sound like a broken record, but the Avs seeding won't change. They're locked in. That's why we keep shrugging our shoulders after losses. What CAN change is their opponent. Will they face Winnipeg or Dallas?
0:00 - The Nuggets completely and totally blew it last night AND wasted a historic Jokic performance in the process. AND they lost to the Timberwolves at home again. This sucks.15:27 - We take Jokic for granted. We really do. Can you imagine what this Nuggets team would be without him?35:29 - Of all the NFL rule changes the owners approved at their annual meeting, which one will affect the league most significantly?
0:00 - Vic didn't sleep last night. He tossed and turned after the awful Nuggets loss. Our whole show was under a black cloud today because of the Nugs collapse. As grown men, how do we let sports affect us so much?13:48 - Nuggets play again tonight. Who can we expect to see out there on the 2nd night of a back-to-back against a bad Spurs team? ESPECIALLY after some of these guys played 50 minutes in the 2OT game yesterday. 31:34 - In the streaming era, it's becoming harder and harder to find the damn games on TV with each passing year.
0:00 - The Avs blew it last night. They gave up 2 goals in about 20 seconds, Calgary forced OT, then the Avs lost in a shootout. But...do we care? Do the players care? If it doesn't change their playoff destiny, does it matter?15:25 - No Timberwolves players were suspended for their brawl with the Pistons, so Vic gets his wish. The Nugs will face the full Minnesota roster tonight. Can they finally do it? Can they oust the Ghost of Minnesota?35:03 - The NFL owners voted today to change OT rules. It's still 10 min long, but both teams get a chance to possess the ball. Guaranteed.
0:00 - What a wild wild weekend around the world of sports, both inside and outside Colorado. Where do we even begin...?15:26 - Some members of the Timberwolves might be suspended for fist-fighting the Pistons. Would you rather the Nuggets face a full-staffed Wolves squad tomorrow? Or would you rather they face a Wolves squad that's missing a few members?34:59 - Stop me if you've heard this before. A Rockies starting pitcher went 6 scoreless innings, then the bullpen blew the lead.
0:00 - The Sweet 16 kicked off last night! Our main takeaway: Cooper Flagg is a baaaaaad baaaaaad man. Which NBA teams are in the Flagg sweepstakes right now? How do the Draft Lottery odds work?14:10 - Christian Saez of DNVR Rockies joins the program to join Brett as the 2nd person in Denver media who maybe, kinda, sorta, possibly, potentially might have a shred of Rockies positivity left.31:56 - The lowly Utah Jazz are in Denver tonight on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Can the Nuggets please beat up on them for 3 quarters then rest their starters in the 4th? Can we get Spencer Jones minutes tonight? PLEASE? Is that too much to ask for?
0:00 - The Nuggets face off against the Lillard-less Bucks tonight. How will they stack up? The Dame Time experiment never really panned out in Milwaukee. What went wrong? 19:13 - Let's go down a nostaliga rabbit hole. What are we nostalgic about sports-wise?32:35 - Vic's back at it against with another mind blowing Nuggets stat! It's gonna blow our doors off! We're gazebos!
Comedian Luke Null (Pretty Songs, Dirty Words) stops by as Daniel describes a woman that stole a jacket that was actually a piece of art on the wall at the Picasso Museum in Paris, Randy explains why a woman was arrested at an Indiana Applebee's over an "All You Can Eat" dispute, and Jason warns against vandalizing the wrong car after a breakup, and so much more!

0:00 - Nuggets couldn't run with the Bulls last night at Ball Arena. They played hard but they got COOKED in transition. Malone was mostly satisfied with his squad, though.17:04 - The plot surrounding Dan Hurley thickens. Now the UConn Sports Information Director is trying to make an infamous video disappear from the Interwebs. We love to hate Hurley, so let's clown him a little more, shall we?37:16 - How imporant is it to be the #1 or #2 overall pick in the NFL Draft? If you're a top QB prospect, would you rather #1 to a garbage organization? Or go lower in the draft to a more stable organization but lose the "prestige" of being the top pick?
0:00 - Let's play the final drops from the Moser Region of our Drop Tournament. Then, being a Nuggets fan this year is nothing short of riding a full-on roller coaster.16:48 - Kevin Kugler, play by play commentator extraordinaire, is in town to call the Denver March Madness games with Westwood One. He joined us this morning and explained just how difficult it is to call 4 college basketball games in one day. 33:39 - The Nuggets are unpredictable. No matter who takes the floor tonight for the Nuggets or the Lakers, we have no idea what's gonna happen. And that's a scary idea. Then, which seeds are advancing to the Round of 32 from the Moser Region of our Drop Tournament?
0:00 - Last night's Nuggets game left us speechless. We genuinely don't know what to say about that win over a red-hot Warriors squad. Also, the NCAA tournament play-in games being today, which means it's time to kick off our annual DROP TOURNAMENT!16:55 - What's more pointless: the NCAA tournament play-in games, or MLB scheduling actual regular season games in Japan that start today? That's right. A regular season baseball game was played today. 36:25 - Deion Sanders has an idea to completely revamp and overhaul the CU Spring Game.
0:00 - Tracey Morgan had a rough time at Madison Square Garden last night during the Heat @ Knicks game. Also, let's keep it rolling with the first region of our annual drop tournament: the Vic region!14:38 - Take last night's Nuggets game and throw it out the window. We don't know what we're supposed to do with that information.31:08 - Denver is getting a brand new stadium in 2028. We're all excited, but Vic says it feels a bit redundant.
0:00 - Deion Sanders has an idea that would revolutionize CU's spring game, and another college football head coach wants in on the action. 14:04 - Tim Bontemps, Mr. Straw Poll himself, went on Get Up this morning and spouted off an awful Nuggets take. It confirms something we already knew about the national media: they don't pay attention to the Nuggets.32:38 - Who are the winners of the Vic region? Which 8 drops will advance to the round of 32 in our annual drop tournament?
0:00 - There's one big similarity between the Nuggets and Thunder. And unfortunately, it's a similarity that requires us to defend Brian Windhorst. 17:17 - Do the Nuggets pass the smell test? What do we smell?31:38 - Is it weird that Brett's nostalgic for the days when football teams and baseball teams shared a stadium? He misses watching football on a dirt baseball diamond. Also, lets get keys to the game for both Avalanche @ Flames and Nuggets vs Lakers tonight.
0:00 - There was no joy in Mudville or Denver. The Timberwolves clowned the Nuggets AGAIN. On their home court! What's going on with Minnesota?? Why do they have Denver's number these days??21:25 - The Broncos signed TE Evan Engram, and we LOVE how George Paton is tackling Free Agency. But even though you have your TE, Brett doesn't think Denver's draft strategy should change.36:58 - Thanks to a Virginia Tech Men's Basketball player, we have a new slogan for the Rockies. Speaking of which, let's give Kaner 2 minutes to bring some Rockies positivity.
0:00 - The head coach of your Colorado Avalanche joined us for the first time since the trade deadlien! How's he enjoying his shiny new roster?21:20 - Why do the T-Wolves always give the Nuggets troubles? What can Denver do tonight to get back in the win column against those pesky wolves?35:06 - What's next for the Broncos? What should their next move be?
0:00 - Are we flip-flopping on the Nuggets? One day we're riding high, and the next day we don't think they have what it takes. Brett thinks we're being consistent throughout the roller coaster. 15:19 - Let's get Moser's perspective on MacKinnon's historic achievement at Ball Arena last night. 35:43 - Free Agency is just starting to ramp up, and the Broncos have already bolstered their iron-clad defense.
0:00 - What a thrilling double DUBaroo from the Avalanche and Nuggets! They both dazzled last night. Where do we even start? So much to discuss, so little time.17:37 - The Broncos made some solid FA moves yesterday and bolstered, or improved, their defense. It should give you confidence in George Paton's abilities despite one giant knock against him.37:43 - Brett has a crackpot theory about Gabe Landeskog. Maybe he's making something out of nothing? Or maybe he isn't.
0:00 - The Nuggets had a huge bounceback win against the Thunder last night. They continue to play like the '95-'96 Bulls on the 2nd night of a back-to-back for whatever reason. 16:39 - Do free agent QB acquisitions actually change a team? Lots of QBs have been shuffled so far, and will it really make an impact?35:19 - The Avalanche are in Minnesota TAHNIGHT for a Central Division Collision. What are the keys to an Avs victory?
0:00 - Bill Barnwell thinks DK Metcalf would be a great fit on the Broncos. Also, let's look ahead to Nuggets vs Suns TAHNIGHT. 13:48 - The Avalanche are a better team today than they were yesterday. It sucks you had to give up a top prospect, but they're in a win NOW window. The future doesn't matter. 30:47 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKESSSSSSSSSSSSS
