What's Happening?
New York Knicks players Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson have been engaging fans with their offseason podcast, 'Roommates Show,' where they discuss various topics, including reality TV. Despite Hart's admission that he doesn't watch reality TV, except for 'Love Island,' Brunson humorously suggested Hart's 'Real Housewives' tagline would be 'I'm just vibing.' The podcast episode also featured discussions on Hart's limited interest in reality shows and Brunson's fondness for 'The Jersey Shore.' The duo's podcast aims to provide a platform for them to control their narrative and speak freely about topics of interest.
