David Sampson

And I remember the first game we went to, when we first started that week, he was floored that he saw people with Bulls jerseys on because the Bulls were in town.

He was floored, he was like,

Well, what's going to happen?

I'm like, nothing.

He's like, what do you mean nothing's going to happen?

Because in his experience... There'd be murder.

Yeah, if you went to Pat at the Night Coast with an Olympiacos jersey, it's a death wish.

But most of the people around me were good natured.

There was one guy who got drunk and tried to start something, but everyone else kind of said, chill.

Samson, you went to how many finals games?

How were you getting these tickets?

I like the idea of Dave Damoschuk being like the quiet menacing guy.

Like, I'd take that off if I were you.

Wow.

David, it's funny because years ago I did a podcast with Pulitzer Prize winner Pablo Torre, and he had just written a feature about James Harden who was with the Rockets, and at that time his girlfriend was Khloe Kardashian.

And so we were talking about the effects of –

kind of celebrity and addiction and all these things.

To this day, probably the best podcast episode I've ever done up until the one where I won a Pulitzer Prize.

The Haunted Hotel one was great too.
