Rich Paul’s Podcast Was Built To Be Useless
-
Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports and active NBA agent, has drawn some ire this season for things he said on his new podcast called Game Over, which he cohosts with Max Kellerman. Anonymous members of the Lakers staff were reportedly mad at him for fake-trading Austin Reaves for Jaren Jackson Jr. Lakers fans are mad at him for causing the "disconnect" in the Lakers’ locker room. Stephen A. Smith was mad at him for not understanding that people see him as LeBron James’s mouthpiece. All of these reasons, I fear, are misguided. The only good reason to be mad at him is that he has leveraged the unlimited resources and power of Klutch Sports, CAA, Spotify, and The Ringer to make a daytime SportsCenter simulacrum without the catchphrases.
Paul and Kellerman’s FanDuel-sponsored podcast is bad. It's bad in the sort of banal way that most podcasts are bad: The hosts don’t say much of substance, they are stricken with red light syndrome, and their riffs are obtuse and unimaginative. Paul started a recent episode with the line, "Can’t put a watch on without the time being right." This reads like some kind of adage, but Paul was literally just talking about his watch.

#ScribesAndMakers 2.25 — Would you stream your creative process / the creation of your work? Why or why not?
No, never. Not only is my mind a chaotic mess, but I also have an *audio* podcast. I have a radio show for a reason. No video stuff for me, please. I never wanted a video podcast with me in it. I have 32k listeners, give or take a few on any given week, and they don't seem to mind. However, would I try talking about it on an audio podcast? Maybe. Who knows. Someday, perhaps. But I would never stream stuff like that. I love having the ability to edit out the stupid things I say lol. Putting a podcast up and streaming something are two vastly different beasts. I edit my own paranormal podcast, and I would never relinquish that control to someone else, either. On another subject, I also stream gaming stuff, but there's no video of me in it, only the screen as I'm playing, of course.

#ScribesAndMakers 2.23 — Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.
1. I'm really honored that some of you thought this one was from me. Even my girlfriend did as well. This passage was from my favorite author, Kaylie Smith, and takes place during Phantasma. I could have chosen a hundred different quotes from this book. Gosh, I can't get enough of her writing. I just want to drown in her books. Her writing style is the closest thing I've ever found to my own as well, which she actually told me before. That touched me deeply. We've gotten to know each other and she's become a rather big fan of my Wings of Quiet Longing as well, which makes me happier than anything else in the world ever could. She's the coolest cat ever. 100/10 for her writing, highly recommend.
2. This one I had to tweak ever so slightly, only because the book is First Person POV. It's from Nocticadia by Keri Lake. She's another favorite author of mine, honestly. This particular book was a wild ride, and it was also my introduction to her writing as well. Again, I could have used any number of quotes from this one as well. So, so good. 12/10, highly recommend if you enjoy romance.
3. This one is from my own WIP. It's from a conversation between Alistair and Fenella, and it takes place during a dream sequence. I love this chapter so much, and it inspired my entire story.
