At Smart Basketball

The now-annual podcast returns for a sixth season where the group explores what constitutes ethical basketball.

Ed shares his fondest memories of a recent weekend with Bob's family. The NFL Monday night doubleheader action plays during the recording, which is vaguely commented on throughout the episode.

A brief pondering on why Bob couldn't be available for this recording, followed by 45 minutes of Ed divulging intimate details on his NBA Top Shot portfolio. Recorded 10 (!) days ago on January 27.

Recorded a week ago. Ed bemoans the podcast twitter account for only having 42 followers. Bob and Zach lament Ed's foray into basketball-related non-fungible tokens.

Bob and Ed regale listeners with memories of their high school basketball coach swapping the power forward and center positions. After a brief bible study segment, the conversation shifts to professional basketball-based NFT investing.

The podcast resurfaces after nearly a monthlong hiatus. We don't avoid talking about race, but I'm not ready to say we are good at it. Unfortunately, you'll have to hear us talk about Bob and Ed's workout program for a few minutes prior.

We recorded this a week ago, and I failed to hit the Publish button. Likely our last recording while we play online poker against each other, we continue to display miserable podcasting entertainment. 

We dare you to find another podcast that pushes the limits of the medium. Yes, we record ourselves playing online poker and are sharing it with the internet.

Florida declares sporting events as essential business, and we talk about our Zoom backgrounds. Later on, Kyle Larson discussion segues into how we deal with door-to-door salespeople.

We recap a couple of pranks we've pulled on each other over the past few years. Also, a debate on ketchup's overratedness. Fast forward to the final few minutes and we talk MLB's seclusion proposal. Recorded on April 7.

Dollar stores, gas prices and stock tips. Also, we reminisce over the 2015 NCAA regional final between Notre Dame and Kentucky.

Ed rejoins the show after a many-episode hiatus. During the recording, we watch a live-streamed simulation of an NCAA tournament game. BONUS CONTENT: Ed provides stock market tips at the end of the show.

Besides coronavirus talk, there was discussion of stale ham sandwiches, simulated basketball games, along with an OJ Simpson update. Because of the coronavirus, we had to resort to lower-quality audio. 

Unfortunately, we recorded this on March 10, and many things have drastically changed since then. Enjoy!

Step aside, Nick Elam. Our basketball game ending concept is better than yours. Bonus: Mike Leach joins us at the end of the pod.
