Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. Colin kicks it off by explaining that his best indicator for the health of the economy is how full airline flights and how expensive the seats are, and Danny counters that if groceries or rent feel overly expensive that it’s a pretty sure sign of a rougher economy (2:30). They pivot to Bam Adebayo’s historical 83 point game for the Heat, and Colin argues that the fan blowback wouldn’t be nearly as pronounced if he was more of a flashy type of star player, but Danny argues HOW Bam got the record matters and how he got it didn’t sit right because the game stopped becoming basketball to get him extra chances (13:15). They dive into how LeBron has been typecast as the guy that makes everything work regardless of his teammates… until now that he’s playing with Luka Doncic and they don’t gel (26:00). They discuss the Bears 9.5 win total and whether taking the over is easy money (32:00). Finally, they recap watching the movie “One Battle After Another” and Colin argues that Sean Penn is the best American actor and Danny counters with Leonardo DiCaprio (34:00).
