Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) invites Blake Murphy (@BlakeMurphyODC), a Toronto Raptors writer for The Athletic and co-host of both the "Raptors Reasonablists" and "Columbia House Party" podcasts, onto the program. The two discuss Blake's experience attending a recent anti-Black racism protest in downtown Toronto (3:29), any pressure he felt as a basketball writer to take a stand (6:55), and his offer to assist those with a marginalized voice (9:21). On the sports front, Blake reveals his initial reaction to the news that the NBA would be returning to finish off the 2019-20 campaign (11:30), the league choosing not to alter its playoff format (15:11), how the coming weeks and months will play out for the Raptors (17:20), the likelihood of Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka, and Marc Gasol remaining with the team (25:02), and much more. And in his final rapid-fire questioning, Blake gives his prediction for this year's G1 Climax for New Japan Pro Wrestling, reveals his Mount Rushmore of Blink 182 songs, provides a lasting Vince Carter memory, offers up an NBA Finals prediction, and so much more.
