Their baked goods are far better than anything the US has.
I'm not surprised, those peoples have been at it many hundreds of years before we North America types. Plus, American food as a commercial/industrial product is not cultural, it is commercial. sigh
Top 5 player podcast of all time. Nice work CF and thank you to Jaz. That was a joy to listen to
Exactly my thought as the interview was wrapping up. Such an informative and fun interview! His take on Grill's music taste was the cherry on top. Well done, fellas!
Jaz nugget(2): “I don’t want to seem cocky, but I definitely have the most diverse music taste on the team.”
The music discussion (including him bagging on grill) and him talking about locking IB down is gold. Loved this interview! Thank you for putting it together!
Same with the American food comment "This ain't it".
That will be what we do with every episode moving forward. 10 minutes of Scott and I talking ball then 50 minutes of jazz music.
I loved this episode. I've enjoyed watching Jaz play, but this gave me a new perspective of him and his personality. Makes it very easy to root for him.
You should definitely try and get Robert Jones on. He seems fun. Caleb Grill could be good too, especially since it seems he needs to defend his music taste.

Laughed at the "violated my human rights" reference. Is it just me, or after listening to him describe TJ and expectations, discipline, etc., .... it even strengthened my thought that not every player can embrace or 'make it' playing here. Which I guess is true every place for various reasons. Heck, we'll never know, but maybe some of those very late 'left the team' guys last summer just didn't like picking up their shoes in the locker room. lol
Looks like he entered the portal on March 16, and TJ was hired March 18. But yeah, i caught that bit too
Per capita GDP in the U.S. is about $63,500.
PPP per capita GDP in Slovenia is about $$25,200.
That's roughly equivalent to U.S. living standards in roughly the early 1970s.
I don't doubt there's lots of craft/artisan/etc. products and cultural artifacts from other places in the world that are quite enjoyable on their own terms, but we've done *something* right.
I say this with a lot of respect for the $25k number for Slovenia. That's pretty high from a world standard even if it is pretty low for the developed world and much of Europe.
Aljaz takes his development as a student and as a player seriously, but yet has a great sense of humor about things. He’s damn funny. I love his comment: “My mom didn’t send me this far to come home without my master’s degree.” He’s highly competitive and wants to get wins, and it shows in his playmaking, but it’s refreshing to hear him talk about how basketball has developed him personally. He has a great future in whatever he decides to do. But I secretly hope he will use his experience to develop young players. And Slovenia is my new favorite place that I haven’t visited yet.
You were all right. This was a good interview. He seems like as good of a guy as we all hoped he was.
