113: Garden of Sleepen
Welcome to the official basketball podcast of New York, where the hosts occasionally dip their toes into political discourse. We're your hosts Mike "Dunk'em Donuts" Hayden and Jared "Bench Toaster" Holt.
The guys discuss Orange Cheeto Drumpf's appearance at the third game of the 2026 NBA Finals, where he almost certainly caused our beloved New York Knicks to lose to the San Antonio Spurs. Depending what news channel you watch, you either heard that our visbly decaying president was met with chants of "USA!" or an arena-shaking cacophony of boos.
After that, Jared and Mike turn their focus to recent reporting in Politico detailing under-the-table payments that Polymarket, an online "prediction market" where users gamble on the outcomes of world events, made to a host of social media personalities over the last year. The characters getting rich off the quiet promotional campaign included a transphobic swimmer, a drug-addled white nationalist, and the single-dumbest conservative influencer who's crossed our timelines.
When it comes to news, Posting Through It is on its ass like back pockets.
