WHAT IT’S LIKE HOOPING WITH ADAM SANDLER | Mo Welch & Rod Benson

CASUALS is back! This week we’re joined by Rod Benson (pro baller, artist, improviser, author of the new book DIFFERENT DUDE) and comedian/author/cartoonist Mo Welch (Conan, The New Yorker). Both Rod and Mo chat about their careers at the intersection of basketball and comedy, when they realized that their hoop dreams would not come true, and hooping in various celebrity pick-up games around LA. In our end segment Dirty Work, we watch a compilation of Draymond Green ejections and rate them on a scale of 1-10.   Watch Mo's Special: https://veeps.com/mowelch/0009423f-53...
