Count the Dings (Official)

Tom Haberstroh and Travonne Edwards are coming home! We contrast the Kendrick v Drake Rap Beef with the Tom Brady GOAT roast, but are too chicken to bring home the bacon. Anthony Edwards came out the gate throwing haymakers against the defending champs in Game 1. Will the Wolves keep it up and take the series? Was the 'What a Pro Wants' commercial intended to be terrible? Do the Pacers and Cavaliers deserve more respect in the second round? Patreon Exclusive: Michael Wilbon called out LeBron for his lack of accountability in the blaming of Darvin Ham for the Lakers foibles, and Mat Ishbia's offseason quotes reek of delusion.

Maybe you’ve seen the Arrested Development episode in which Tobias tells Lindsay that people who entertain open relationships are delusional to believe that the arrangement could work …. “But it might work for us.” This is the theory of mind of any Top Chef contestant who believes that even though seven cheftestants have been eliminated after preparing risotto, somehow he’ll be the one who will impress the judges and be named the winner of the challenge. Enter this week’s delusional chef … Exit this week’s delusional chef. Tom and Kevin break down how Amanda is building momentum in the kitchen, how Danny is the kind of technical chef who has an inside track to Top Chef, and how ketchup has no place on a hot dog.

Tom and Kevin discuss how much team competition is too much team competition on Top Chef, as the chefs again split up into two teams to come up with a progressive, 5-course meal befitting of a vintage supper club. The producers inject an edgy dose of conflict into the show when the the teams are restricted to just over $20 per diner, and chefs jockey over assignments. One chef emerges as an unwitting villain on the Green Team, while the Purple Team endures the Great Pineapple Shortage of Season 21. At the judges’ table, the chef with the worst dish of the night is spared, though there are no shortages of clunkers.

Will the Heat take Culture to the brink of elimination like last year, or will they topple hobbled Joel Embiid and the 76ers? Also the Hawks play the Bulls or some shit idk...

For all Tom and Kevin know, Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright’s career might have been fueled by Pop-Tarts and Spaghetti O’s. But some of the architectural luminary’s best work can be found just a couple of blocks from where the Top Chef 21 chefs scavenge the aisle of the Whole Foods for their ingredients. This week, those chefs were asked to pay homage to Wright in a team challenge that stumped more than a few of them. The upside is some heightened tension in the kitchen and some incisive analysis at the judges’ table, where Kristen Kish continues to shine in her first season hosting Top Chef. After four weeks, one contestant in the field continues to dominate — and it ain’t a Top 3 pick. A heads up that we will be hosting a LIVE chat during next week’s episode at 9 pm ET on April 17 on Substack. All Substack subscribers can join — free or paid. We will send out a notice in the coming days. Join us!
