Cats Cast: Knicks Stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart Are Starting a Podcast

Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are putting their friendship out over the airwaves, as the New York Knicks stars are entering the podcast game.

Jalen Brunson is adding all new titles to his already-expansive resume this month.

The New York Knicks' point guard, named to his first NBA All-Star team on Thursday, is also now a podcaster, as he and fellow Manhattanite Josh Hart will headline "The Roommates Show" alongside entrepreneur Matt Hillman. An Instagram account for the program surfaced on Sunday, shortly after Brunson promised his X followers that he had "something cooking up." 

If the Instagram bio is any indication, the show's first episode will debut Thursday.

The Brunson-Hart union hardly needs further explanation: in addition to their active work with the modern Knicks, the two have also collaborated with Villanova University's men's basketball team as well as the United States national squad. The two have playfully ribbed each other in both interviews and social media exchanges, which will likely make for a humorous listening experience.

One of the enduring viral moments of last season was Brunson's overjoyed reaction when informed of the trade that united the duo, a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers that kicked off the "Nova Knicks" era. Over the offseason, the Knicks further replenished its Wildcat litter by signing Donte DiVincenzo and bringing back reserve Ryan Arcidiacono, who was previously dealt to Portland in the Hart deal. 

Injuries in the Knicks' starting lineup have allowed Brunson, DiVincenzo, and Hart to enjoy extended minutes together. Despite a 113-105 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night, the Knicks continue to stand as one of the NBA's hottest teams with a 15-3 record in the new calendar year.

"To see where we are now, it's really special," Brunson said of the Wildcat trio following Wednesday's win over Utah in video from SNY. "Hearing the starting lineup saying 'from Villanova', 'from Villanova', 'from Villanova', it's pretty cool."

Knicks fans certainly hope Brunson and Hart's new audio duties won't distract from their work on the hardwood. The Knicks (32-18) will look to tip off a new winning streak on Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG).
