UNTITLED_NBA_POD

Beard is back and the gang is firing on all cylinders. The Lakers are good(?) after beating the Bucks, the Knicks are bad(!) after allowing 101+ PPG all season. Steph pretends to hit full court shots and only Mike is fooled. Coach Bud calls in.

The pod is short-staffed as the podfellas wish Beard a speedy recovery from Terminal Leg Syndrome. The MVP race is tight, the Jazz fell off, and Ben Simmons remembered how to play basketball for the most part. Tune in to find Who Porzunged Mike.

The fellas are all back in the same room making it impossible to edit out the usual crosstalk. Basketball savant Mike brings in Brother Dave who makes a Bold Brother Bet. KD wants out, Trae has a clutch assist, and the Jazz continue to defy conventional wisdom. Also a fun little quiz!

The fellas spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the struggles in LA and hope to never revisit the topic. A fantasy basketball wager is proposed that will shatter the dignity of one of the podmen.

Secret Base’s Ryan Simmons joins the fellas and everyone shares their tasteful Ruby Anniversary gifts. Ryan dives in with the gang to discuss the Calvin Klein HVAC system at Barclays, the awesome chemistry that led to the success of Secret Base, and gives a nice, hot take on the Kyrie situation.

The NBA is back. WE’RE not crying, YOU’RE crying! Ben Simmons keeps fouling out of games, but this ep is pretty much all Lakers. The fellas are forced to reckon with the Lakers 0-3 start; Mike is on the verge of needing belts and shoelaces confiscated. Will Russ be forced to come off the bench? Continue reading "UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 39"

It’s time for an unlistenable fantasy draft ep again. A bold bet with a large payout if Mike goes winless this time. Eight mics, several biffed player names, innumerable hot takes–but there can only be one champion.

It’s that time of year again. Leaves are falling, seasonal depression is kicking in, and the fellas are locking in their over/unders for each NBA team’s regular season wins! So settle in with some hot cocoa and lose yourself in this incredible NOT BORING ep. Also Draymond Green punched somebody.

Newly promoted SENIOR Correspondent Mike updates us on his live-on-site breakdown for Pujols staggering 700 HR accomplishment. This is an MLB ep, sorry folks. We do passively mention bad vibes for the Suns and Celtics at the end though!

Schroder’s got a brand new bag (and it’s not that great). Russ’s place on the Lakers is getting more confusing by the day. Robert Sarver needs to get [redacted]. You know what time it is.

Mike tears into Don about the Knicks biffing the Donovan Mitchell trade and being Bed Dumpers of the Week. Don holds back tears. The fellas discuss Ant’s bad Instagram story and play a fun game for both film buffs and hoopheads.

Mike has been unceremoniously un-fired and he’s very grateful. The fellas discuss the KD non-trade, the Pat Beverly move to LA, and twitter beef. Then an innocuous quiz makes Mike go sicko mode.

Mike is temporarily fired for starting altercations with active players. Beard and Don must save the show and avoid discussing KD rumors at all costs.

Wow, I’D sure listen to THIS one! The fellas do a fun quiz and are forced to reluctantly discuss KD news briefly. Kyrie wants a contract that allows him to play very little basketball. The Christmas Day lineup was dropped as well. Great Ep!

It’s the Tin Anniversary(?) of the pod and the fellas exchange thoughtful gifts of hats and dice. KD is fed up with the coach and front office that he helped recruit, and he wants out! Beef is heating up between Banchero and Murray, and there are several free agents who are looking for a caring Continue reading "UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 30"

The fellas are really phoning it in on this one. Who would be the best NBA player to transition to wrestling? Who cares? The gang also discusses the tampering investigations this season and briefly mourn the loss of the great Bill Russell.

The fellas discuss the Celtics being mean to Jaylen Brown, why Russ should’ve been injured in a horrific, regrettable way, and cops.

The fellas try to play a lighthearted game of “Guess the 2K Rating” during the slower off-season week, though they cannot help but discuss the league we all know and love. Mike is pissed at inflated trade values and the amount of first-rounders being auctioned off and pretty much everyone is caught off guard by Continue reading "UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 27"

Due to a slow week of trades and acquisitions, the fellas decide to draft a roster of the hottest guys in the league. After discussing landmark anniversary gifts for an intolerable amount of time, the hot guy draft kicks in with much spirited debate. Mike closes the episode with a beautiful song from the heart.

Welcome fans of the Adam Friedland show! It’s time for some off-season moves. The fellas discuss recent trades and free agents, try to think of the player Beard can’t remember, and attempt to find the perfect place for KD and Kyrie.

The fellas are back in full force. Mike gets a warm welcome back, Woj drops in a few times with some hot new trade reports, the Knicks corner is briefly opened up, and the fellas play “How long could LeBron play while blind.”

Mike is hospitalized due to his aggressive posturing toward Montrezl Harrell’s crew, but the show must go on! Don and Beard discuss game 6 of the Finals, talk about early offseason moves, and play the game Do You Know Kyrie.

The fellas recap games 4 and 5 of the Finals, discuss Steph’s folks’ spouse-swapping fling, and Mike calls out Trezl’s whole crew for letting him take the fall in his recent incarceration for weed.

The fellas bring in @JucheMane–Twitter’s premier Bucks fan–to discuss the Bucks path to last year’s championship, Giannis’ rise to stardom, and the toxic nature of trying to talk sports online. Beard gives a play-by-play of his mental state after each quarter of Game 1 in which the Celtics make a miraculous comeback and Al Horford Continue reading "UNTITLED NBA POD EP...

The fellas forget to honor our brave veterans but they did NOT forget about Darvin Ham. Luka didn’t get enough help to avoid the gentleman’s sweep, Jimmy went off a couple times and then went home. Cheers to the STL legend Jayson Tatum.
