On today's episode, Jason shares a quick thought on the Pittsburgh Steelers ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. After starting the season 11-0, the Steelers have lost three in a row and Ben Roethlisberger looks absolutely washed. The defense has slipped a bit and the offense looks abysmal. Thanks to their hot start to the season they'll still make the playoffs but they have the making of a one-and-done postseason team, at best. Plus, The King of #NBATwitter Josiah Johnson swings by to discuss what it was like growing up in and around the UCLA Basketball program, what it was like was living with UCLA Basketball royalty (his father, Marques Johnson and his brother, Kris Johnson), how the so-called 'locker room culture' helped him develop the comedic skills that have made him the undisputed King of #NBATwitter, his biggest issues with Twitter trolls and social media tough guys, why he understands why Kevin Durant felt compelled to create social media burner accounts, why he's still picking the Los Angeles Lakers to win the NBA championship... even if he's a little worried about the quick turnaround, why he has a big problem with people who continuously try to discredit LeBron James' accomplishments, why he's been so impressed with Luka Doncic and the overall globalization of basketball, why he has a ton of respect for LaVar Ball and the job he's done raising Lonzo and LaMelo, what it was like playing pickup ball against guys like Kevin Garnett back in the day, and much more! Finally, Jason closes things out with a very special NBA Opening Night edition of The Best Bet.
