The NBA Play-In Tournament is here, and it’s delivering more drama than a Game 7—and Clay is breaking it all down like a coach with nothing left to lose. From LeBron’s legacy to teams that should probably just stay home, it’s hoops, hot takes, and hilarity to kick things off. Then, things get even wilder with a movie review of Unfrosted (Netflix, 2024), Jerry Seinfeld’s sugar-fueled satire about the birth of the Pop-Tart. Clay pairs it with—obviously—strawberry Pop-Tarts, and delivers a scorched-earth take on a film that should’ve stayed in the toaster. Rating: 2.5/10 sugary breakfasts. Expect comedic commentary on corporate chaos, professional rivalries, and the absurdity of turning breakfast into a blockbuster. Plus, Clay shares real-life stories of egos, overhyped gigs, and the kind of sweet regret only a bad film or a box of Pop-Tarts can deliver.

The Joe Biden of podcasting talks about how to cope with losing your job (00:02:43), why this might be beneficial to you, some of the thoughts and emotions you will go through, and why it is now more important than ever that you share the show with everyone you know! Clay reviews Tollywood's RRR, the fastest 3 hours and 7-minutes of your life, a fever dream not even the hardest mind-altering drugs could plant in your brain (00:09:52) Vijayendra Prasad, S.S. Rajamouli, and Sai Madhav Burra may be the best writers the world has ever seen. This includes your favourite novelists, beat writers, and epicureans like J. R. R. Tolkien, Homer, Shakespeare, and Hunter S. Thompson (00:13:07) Clay completes a rapid recap of RRR to articulate just how much was jam-packed into this epic: love, heroism, family, village/country pride, imperialism, music, kidnapping, murder, martial arts, religion/faith, bromance (00:16:41) Why it's easier to be a good actor in a foreign language like Telugu (00:36:19) RRR is the modern-day Odyssey, prove me wrong (00:38:27) This episode is powered by Bung Bung Coffee and Thirst Trap Australian Spring Water! www.bungbungcoffee.com www.slaythirsttrap.com Please take the time to drop us a 5-Star review!

Clay reviews Tires (starring Shane Gillis) while realising he is only 2 degrees of separation from Shane. Clay breaks down each episode by theme, attaching real life stories to each. Nepotism (00:05:10) : Being given a business by a family member, despite having no experience in that profession. Lebron James gifting his son, Bronny, a guaranteed NBA contract as the 55th pick in the NBA Draft. Clay getting a retail role without having to interview because his dad was the manager. Goofy Managers (00:10:25) : Silly inclusion initiatives. Workplace rhyming slang. Getting Poached (00:14:42): A successful person from your high school graduating class walks in to your job and makes you an offer to come and work for them. What do you do? Clay's experience with friends reaching out with Multi-Level Marketing "opportunities" (pyramid schemes). Reaching out to people who you know are successful, and being hit with a quote for a catch up equivalent to 1000 coffees. The Rumour Mill (00:25:52): Rumours floating around the workplace: misinformation or malicious intent? The (almost always negative) results of rumours spreading among colleagues. Marketing Campaigns (00:28:22): The bikini carwash episode begs the question: is there any business that couldn't benefit from a bikini carwash and / or some soapy t*ts being put in front of your audience?
