Fellow podcaster and bad boy Draymond Green did another insane thing on the court and the fellas have to discuss it. General playoff talk in this one, with the exceptions of guessing Andre Drummond’s age (and most FTs missed in a game) and Don’s game-changing proposition to tweak the NBA rulebook.

The fellas are watching the Lakers-Wolves play-in game with bated breath. The breath thing really makes it hard to do a podcast. They don a modernized, less offensive Carnac hat and manage to perfectly predict the results of the play-in tournament, and also surmise who will end up at the top of each conference.

The fellas celebrate 60 episodes with that bit from ep 40 and 50. Lakers are storming back into the play-in/playoff picture and Mike is both ecstatic and outside.

The fellas discuss the Ja Wick/Warrant situation with tact and precision and look into the unbelievalbe scoring performances this season–and chastise Giannis for his lazy attempt at a triple double. Secret Base’s Seth Rosenthal joins to talk Rewinder, Chosen, Prism, and the clunky dominance of this year’s Knicks team.

The fellas took a week off to be bored by the All-Star Game, but they’re back to talk about the 2nd highest scoring game in NBA history. Russ is a Clipper and Pat Bev (requested out of LA?) to the Bulls. Mikal Bridges is hoopin as well.

The fellas give props to LeBron’s all-time scoring feat, and then take a deep dive into the trade deadline insanity. RIP Brooklyn.

The fellas are joined by former Secret Base managing editor Ryan Nanni on this banger of an ep. We discuss the Georgia championship win, the thrill of growing up a Magic fan in the Shaq/Penny era, and take a deeper look into the state of sports media. Also, Kyrie is a Mav now.

The fellas catch up on a lot of basketball highlights from the previous week, discuss how the new, post-OJ Ford Bronco sucks, and debate the pros and cons of load management. Props are given to the Heat for making 40-40 FTs and to Russ for continuing to lock down the 6MOTY race.

Luka is the real deal, it turns out. The fellas give him props and then reach into the props-giving bag to give additional props to Spida for his 71-point outing. Mike went to LeBron’s birthday. Eric Gordon is depressed.

The fellas are all under one roof in the NBA hypehouse for the holidays. Special guest Chili drops by to discuss one of the league’s all-time greats, Jae Crowder. Previous special guest Dave has a sad voicemail re: fantasy basketball.

You know the drill by now, the fellas are recapping this week in the NBA and having some laughs. Also a simple quiz game falls apart at the seams and ruins the holidays.

Intern/3rd mic/Senior Correspondent Mike has become a big-time producer in Tinseltown and the fellas can’t wait to capitalize on his success. Everyone gets a chance to pitch the perfect Damian Lillard story to save him from a decade of loyalty-induced embarrassment.

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 caringContinue 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 byContinue 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 HorfordContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 21”

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.

The fellas break down both series in the conference finals, from Adebayo to Zubac (who is not there). Pat Bev is outta pocket and everyone is mad about it. Mike inspires the listeners with a rousing speech.

The fellas try to reverse the hex of CP3’s 37th birthday, snort some Luka Magic, and break down the second round of the playoffs. Pat Bev is going off and Doc Rivers has been cucked again.

The fellas break down the conference semifinals as they currently stand and air grievances about the officiating. Mike is pulling up stats like they’re going out of style, Beard is farting and creating an all-time roster of zoo animals to steal a ring from the current human-dominated teams, and Don is hemorrhaging money via anContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 17”

The fellas are back and unpacking the pod equipment after the Big Move. In the new pod palace there’s playoffs to unpack as well: the Nets getting swept, the Pels looking promising, and Embiid’s got a headache. It’s also time to predict the conference champs.

The fellas are back again (Mike is lost at sea and therefore suspended without pay again) and they discuss Coach K’s tragic L in the Final Four. In the NBA world, the playoff picture is shaping up and discussed thoroughly. Several business ventures are solidified and verbally copyrighted, and certain sports-betting sites are bleeped becauseContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 14”

The fellas have contracted a terminal case of March Madness; they have been given an estimate of 17 days to live. No one cares that much though. They touch on some quick NBA topics like Jimmy Butler continuing to want to fight everyone, the Bulls losing to every good team, and Kyrie taking on theContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 13”

The fellas are back in full force. Mike returns from suspension with little fanfare and brings some gumshoe reporting from his visit to the crypto.com arena. The Lakers beat the Warriors and look good for the first time this year. The steps to creating a franchise are revealed (Doctors HATE this simple trick!). Don’s voicemailsContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPIOSDE 12”

The fellas are back from hiatus (except for Mike, who has been briefly suspended for insubordination). We did a live ep during the first half of the All-Star Game, had a few laughs, and learned some interesting facts about crustaceans and exotherms!

The fellas pat themselves on the collective back for their immaculate all-star vote predictions, despite KPop sensation BamBam rigging the election for Wiggins. Don’s long diatribe about the Knicks brings everyone down until discussions about which player would save each franchise allows everyone the respite of a fantasy world.

The fellas discuss Jidion getting kicked out of the Rockets game, D Book being mean to the Raptors mascot, and Frank Vogel’s inevitable demise. Against the odds, they get their all-star votes in just under the wire and manage to perfectly predict each nominee.

The boys revisit their over/under predictions from episode 4 to finally determine who is boy genius of the NBA–and who will wear the dunce cap of shame. We also touch on the Rondo trade and the growing potential of Zion joining the most prestigious team in New York.

The boys are back from holiday hiatus and dive into the most important NBA story in recent history–the “sloppy fat boy” tweet. Russ gets some much-deserved kudos for his first game without a turnover in nearly a decade. Beard becomes an owner/player and we decide where Bron should go after the Lakers.

Metaphor Mike brings his brotherfriend Dave along as a guest and he takes our “NBA Expert” quiz. Our guest loves women but is furious about Brittany Griener’s Boogie Cousins callout. He believes he can beat her until he hears her height. The boys do an NBA personality test to give our guest His Team GreatContinue reading “UNTITLED NBA POD EPISODE 6”

The fellas briefly dive into their fantasy basketball teams, complain about Russ, and third mic Mike has to call his doctor to discuss his hog.

As a nice little treat, the fellas recorded their elaborate pre-pod tech setup. Enjoy.

Third mic “white” Mike is steadfast in his support of the hopeless Lakers, Beard’s Hornets and Don’s Knicks are dominant, and we ignore the Simmons Situation because it’s been exhaustively covered. The fellas debate Vegas’ predictions for regular season wins.

Third mic Mike gets instantly promoted after his gumshoe reporting on the dreaded NBA refs. The gang discusses the most worthless teams, ideal bubble roommates from last season, and Mike’s warm milk drinking.

The fellas add a third mic–intern Mike–and discuss the origins of their NBA fanhood, Paul Pierce laughing, and more.
