We’ve officially hit double digits! Episode 10 is here, and with the dog days of August in full swing, we’re switching things up with a full mailbag episode. Joining us is special guest host and close friend Lee (aka Sadderdaylee) to moderate and hit us with all your questions.
From the potential WNBA lockout and how fans might react, to Marvel’s Secret Wars & Doom, to Mavericks over/unders, favorite RDC skits, and the eternal “best Pokémon game” debate — nothing’s off limits. We talk building a franchise around Angel Reese or Aliyah Boston, how many games Meg Thee Stallion might pull up to, and which NBA team has the brightest future. Plus: LeBron & the Mavs, Deku vs. Miles Morales, Caitlin Clark’s impact, Joel Embiid’s career, our NFL squads, and even our favorite Jalen Hurts quotes.
It’s hoops, pop culture, and plenty of laughs — the perfect way to celebrate 10 episodes.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions.
Also the hotline is 988.

The fellas return post-All-Star break with a loaded episode covering everything from Stud Budz to Summer League stars.
We kick things off with a full WNBA All-Star Weekend recap, including the viral 72-hour Stud Budz stream, Napheesa Collier’s MVP performance, and standout moments on and off the court. From there, we dive into mid-season awards: MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved, and the Angel Reese case, plus picks for Sixth Player, DPOY, Coach of the Year, and First Team All-WNBA.
Then it’s over to the NBA side—Cam Thomas and Zach Lowe beef, Charlotte claims the Summer League crown, and the All-Summer League First Team honors, and we check in on rising names like Nique Clifford, Ryan Nembhard, VJ Edgecombe, and Tre Johnson.
We also hit some NBA offseason headlines: Dame back to Portland, Beal & CP3 to the Clippers, Marcus Smart joins the Lakers, and EuroBasket updates. Plus: a new Jumpshot Game, a Jeff Teague tangent, and a Superman rant.
This one’s got it all—lock in.

The boys are back with an episode recorded during the 2nd round of the 2025 NBA Draft with special guest: Willylaw, writer and creator of The Scout. He joins us to break down his process for evaluating prospects, the philosophy behind his tiered big board, and his thoughts on what really went down on draft night. From surprises like Egor Demin and Chaz Lanier to real-time reactions as Johni Broome lands with the Sixers, we get deep into Round 1 and more.
In segment two, we shift to the NBA Finals where OKC claims the crown, and dive into their future outlook, recent trades so far, and how the Eastern Conference is reshaping itself.
Finally, we close out with a look at the W: Kate Martin’s heater against the Liberty, Paige Bueckers turning a corner, and DeWanna Bonner's departure from the Fever.

The guys are back to preview game 7! The Pacers refuse to go home. We break down Indiana’s dominant Game 6, how Chet got cooked, and why the basketball gods might’ve bailed Adam Silver out. The defense was nasty, TJ McConnell turned into a demon, and yes — we’re making Game 7 predictions.
Then it’s trade season. Desmond Bane is headed to Orlando, Memphis stacks picks, and CJ has... complicated feelings about KCP. Ja Morant’s status, draft rumors, and a Cooper Flagg workout.
Ace Bailey drama? We’re on it. Wemby’s monk arc? Covered. Luka and international hoops? You already know. We talk San Antonio vibes, who should go 3rd, and whether the Sixers are getting played.
Plus: Paige heats up, the Aces are sliding, and the Commissioner’s Cup might be cursed. Trivia, fake ads, and a surprise announcement in Post-Game Popcorn — this one’s loaded.

The Finals are finally here — and the crew’s got takes. From Haliburton’s PG ranking to the Paul George butterfly effect, we dive deep into Indiana vs. OKC and what it all means. Official predictions are locked in, Myles Turner propaganda is flying, and somehow... Tobias Harris gets a response off?
Then things get messy. The Knicks fire Thibs, Mikal Bridges drama resurfaces, and we try to make sense of the Wolves' future.
Plus, you know we had to talk W. Kiki Iriafen snags Rookie of the Month, the ROY race is heating up, and the Fever? CC merchants. We show love to the Dream, Lynx, Liberty, and even Robi's Dallas Wings.
Fake trivia, fake ads, and CJ with a PSA —this one’s got everything.

The boys are back with reactions to an instant classic in the Garden and a wild week of playoff hoops. From surprise wins to signature moments, nobody’s safe—not even the MVP voters.
There’s WNBA talk, bold predictions, and plenty of side quests, including trivia, fake ads, and of course some Postgame Popcorn.
Playoff pressure, polar bears in Arlington, and whatever the Jared McCain stream was — it’s all here.

Robi, CJ, and Eddie pull up to unpack the wildest NBA Draft Lottery in years — Dallas, San Antonio, and Philly go top 3 (yes, the podcast name finally makes sense). Robi gloats, CJ wins, and Eddie breathes again as the guys break down Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, and what each pick means for their squads.
Then it's onto the playoffs: the Knicks take Game 4 , Tatum gets a torn Achilles, and the Celtics' whole future might’ve changed in one night. The Pacers bury the Cavs, CJ delivers a eulogy, and OKC vs. Denver gives us a 4th quarter SGA-Jokic duel for the ages.
Add in WNBA season hype and some spicy trivia — this one’s loaded.

The crew kicks things off with a Mother's Day shoutout before diving into all the second-round NBA action — from the Knicks going up 2-0, to OKC's taking care of business versus Denver, to the Wolves-Warriors series getting spicy.
But they don’t stop there — it’s a full-court buffet. Robi brings a literal belt, the WNBA Top 25 list sparks debate, and the guys reflect on Popovich stepping down (plus, Cam’ron??). Then it’s Postgame Popcorn, where they go full spoiler mode on Thunderbolts.
Trivia, chaos, polar bears in Arlington — it's all in the mix. Don’t miss it.

The guys kick things off with the brutal Dame injury and what it means for Milwaukee’s future before diving into a full slate of playoff chaos — from Brunson’s late-game takeover to the Wolves’ surge and the Celtics quietly cooking.
But it doesn’t stop there — the crew gives OKC their flowers, sends Miami packing (RIP Bozo), checks in on WNBA training camps, and discusses Chennedy Carter’s controversial move to Mexico. Then, things get even more unhinged.
They close with a spoiler-filled breakdown of Sinners and settle one of the internet’s greatest debates: could 100 regular dudes take down a gorilla?
It’s hoops, hypotheticals, and heat — don’t miss it.
