Too Many Jalens In The NBA, But There's Only ONE Brunson! 15.06.2026 1:20:28
Czabe re-caps the Knicks hammer close of the Spurs in Game 5 to claim the title. It's one of the most impressive runs an NBA team has ever made in the playoffs, full of domination, determination, and a few small miracles in between. Are the Knicks "likable?" Wemby is a dirty bitch. Be better, Frenchie. Monica McNutt's pseudo-apology. Announcers and ratings and more. NICK LAUGHNER o...
Pat McAfee's New Deal Shows ESPN Plays With Monopoly Money 11.06.2026 52:05
Czabe talks about "gettin' paid" and the humble obligations that *should* come with it.

The Long Winding Road Back For The NBA Finals' "Script F" 04.06.2026 47:48
What's in a logo? A lot. Especially for a league and its brand. Good thing the NBA didn't try to make "Showdown '82" a permanent "thing." Nick Saban and others testify on Capitol Hill to "save" college sports. Which sports, tho? And would an NCAA football and basketball "super league" really be so bad? How come ESPN is selling off big chunks of its CFB i...

The boys also talk about Russell Wilson ret...
Another Lap Around The Sun For Ol' El Baldo 01.06.2026 48:07
Czabe flies solo on his birthday pod, and even though the bank account is lagging since getting laid off, a healthier lifestyle and some time to reflect and be grateful has done wonders. The Spurs punch through to the NBA Finals, setting up an attractive series against the Knicks that is going to cost a pretty penny to attend. Some thoughts on a possibly wild summer in the Association with big pie...
