Long time no pod! Kind of been on a hiatus this season as I've been focusing on some other projects but randomly threw out a "C.J. come on the pod" after he tweeted about John Reynolds having "that wet wet" (paraphrasing). And, like the nice guy he is, he accepted! C.J. has basically lived a dream career of mine from writing for Fallon, making Funny or Die videos for the Detroit Pistons, content for every big sports digital company, and now has his own creative studio, Follow Through, that makes all the cool, funny sports content I wish I had the skill and/or connections to make, lol. They're ..read more

This one is pretty self explanatory. No 2K, no nostalgia, almost no Wolves talk, just Peter Joe and I rambling about playoffs and the draft for a little over an hour and a half. I edited this at 3 am after work aka hardly edited this so it is for sure rambly. Happy draft day ..read more

This podcast has... listeners? Lito (@CozyLito on twitter) was very cool and reached out over DM about liking the show. We smoked together and talked draft, the power of 2k11, being a Seattle basketball fan, and JT Thor. And of course, we look into the 2k crystal ball. Super fun time. Got this and one other episode I'll try to get out before the draft tomorrow, these both are more rambly and conversational and fairly draft heavy. Will continue to slowly (lol first episode in over 3 months) crank out these draft twitter origin stories, hopefully accompanied by random episodes/tall tales from my ..read more

Staying true to my brand and finally posting an episode I recorded back in February lol  Had one of the inspirations for the pod on! Ben Pfeifer was one of the co hosts of Prep2Pro which is one of the best draft podcasts available anywhere and spawned a whole community of young draft nerds that are slowly but surely taking over basketball Twitter.   We get into his history growing up with basketball, getting into the draft, and starting the pod (17:00). Then we continue our run on point guards in this upcoming draft as Ben happens to be the leader of the Jaden Springer Fan Club ..read more

Had an awesome time talking with Henry Ward, rising draft twitter star, through how he grew up playing basketball in LA, in Rec Leagues, and even at Grinnell and their insane system for a year.  Henry does a lot of very cool work with NBA trainers, just got a professional scouting job, and on his blog he writes insanely nuanced posts on draft guys, skill development, team building philosophy. He even got to help out at the NBA bubble this past summer.   In addition to all that we talk through the insanely fun Sharife Cooper’s game (18:14) and his outlook as a prospect, and as al ..read more

Just kinda rambling with the SSP Squad, did very little prep for this one just tryna sorta get in the swing of pumping these out again.    Good episode! We start out shooting the shit about working at Super Summer Program and kind of on teaching the basketball class there but honestly mainly just reminisce about the job in general. I didn’t really keep us on an NBA Draft adjacent path despite there definitely being one available lol   We talk 2K and FIFA at around (17:30), get to Jalen Suggs, the Wolves, and some fantasy basketball at around (30:25) and of course, take a look in ..read more

First High & Dry in literal months and wow. What a week! Harden trade, impeachment, the KAT Covid diagnosis.  Join Joe Peter Styli and myself as we discuss none of that stuff! We recorded this last Sunday and I just now got around to editing it.  We ramble about this years draft, the Wolves’ haul, I play some fun audio from our draft watch party reacting to the picks, we talk about some early season reactions, give some basic thoughts on next years draft and, as always, look deep into the 2k crystal ball. We also submit our picks for “Highest Timberwolf 2021”.  Fun episode ..read more

This is actually the second one I recorded like 3 months ago lol but was trying to get enough of my “basketball backstory” out there before doing strictly prospect episodes but we’ll alternate between the two for now, I have lots of of ideas for both. A very fun episode about probably the most fun prospect in this draft! I bring on Ignacio Rissotto from the Stepien and ID Prospects and have him talk about this skinny 7 foot wonder from the Adriatic second league. I also bring on old pal Stylianos, one of my only connections to anything Greek, to cape for Poku and the strength of the league tha ..read more

I bring on two fellow alums from Southwest High School's basketball program, that are now both doing the legit sports media career routes,(@WillRagatz and @AidanBerg_ on Twitter) to talk 2k drinking games (7:15), our experiences playing for the relatively shitty program at our high school (14:17), we break down Onyeka Okongwu's game led by Aidan who got to take in Okongwu first hand last year at USC (26:29). As always we end with some 2k lineup shenanigans and a look into the 2K crystal ball (37:33).  ..read more

Mike Gribanov (@mikegrib8 on Twitter) of The Stepien drops by High & Dry in what is actually the first episode I recorded back in like early July.   We talk Anthony Edwards to start and then I bring on pals Jin, Peter, Jaylen and our first two-time guest Tommy Bayer from the We Cool Podcast to talk our fierce rivalry in parkboard basketball, essentially intramurals in high school for our local parks, Fuji Water vs The Hoops Company (THC) (14:10). Mike entertains this nonsense and gives us some NBA player comps.  Mike and I finish up on Anthony Edwards and talk 2k lineups at ..read more
