1979, that was a big moment for me.
84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

I will admit when I saw dusty from first things first text me a screenshot of a shams shirani a tweet and i just saw it in the corner of the screen and it was a picture of luca my heart jumped a bit i was like he's gonna say he's coming back but instead it was the awards thing So I'm happy for Luca. He deserves to be on awards ballots, but the other would have made me happier. This episode of What's Right in the Cry is presented to you by Boost Mobile.

I'm doing excellent. How's it going for you?
I mean, it's going good. I knew this already. We just recorded a one-hour show. I'm not lying. We're wearing the same clothes. I'm not lying to the audience like I didn't talk to you. Okay. All right, I'm just going to jump right into it. I'm going to pick every series and the number of games in every series, and we'll see how I do. Western Conference, round one. OKC smokes. Whomever wins the 8-9 playoff game, I think it'll be Phoenix beating Golden State. It doesn't matter who it is. OKC and four over Phoenix or Golden State is my pick. Spurs-Portland, you know what? I'm going to give Drew Holiday and Denny Avdia one game.
Yes, exactly.
I give them one game. Feels like the old Spurs go up 2-0, Portland gets game three. Game four, we're like, are we going to get a series? Spurs win by 40, and then they take care of it at home in game five. Denver-Minnesota? We haven't discussed this at all, but there are some very real... Wait, what if Ant wins this series?
