Benjy Kleiner works in the digital and social media space, he is a massive NY Knicks fan (he met his wife at a Knicks game, he has broken more remotes than he can count), and you might know him for playing Aaron in the movie Uncut Gems.
This episode dives deep into NBA discussion, specifically the Knicks, and Benjy and Elliot explain how they know one another through the game of basketball and a team called the Bad News Ballers. Basketball and the Bad News Ballers connect not just Benjy and Elliot, but also people like Ariel Schulman (Catfish) and the Safdie brothers (Benny and Josh, who directed Uncut Gems). We hear from Benjy how Uncut Gems came about, and what it was like filming, especially when the character was based on himself, a crazed Knicks fan.
