Episode 34: Hasan Minhaj | “Football & jazz”

The Long Shot with Duncan Robinson and Davis Reid

Life gets pretty busy when you’re about to start a world comedy tour, but somehow Duncan and Davis were fortunate enough to sit down with Hasan Minhaj this week as his tour - “The King’s Jester” - kicks off. Hasan is a comedian, writer, actor, producer, and social/political commentator who also happens to be a hoops fanatic. The guys first discuss his new tour, who & what has inspired his work, and his evolution as an artist. They then delve into how sports and entertainment differ when it comes to evaluating talent, learning to perform and “not give a f**k,” and how much your approach matters. Of course they have to talk hoops as well, including Hasan’s Celebrity All-Star game performance, the beauty of sports and its role in society, and Hasan’s Sacramento Kings fandom. All of that and much more in this amazing conversation.

Before that, Duncan and Davis discuss JJ Redick retiring, reflect on his amazing career and their favorite memories of JJ, talk about the Ben Simmons situation in Philly, and remember the most athletic plays they have ever seen in an NBA game.
