  • Audio

    I can start the podcast at a lower volume, but by the end of it the volume is substantially higher than I would like. This causes the commercials to become jump scares. In turn I lower the volume and when Malika and Perk come back, their audio is more like a whisper.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jawn The Move
Q: What is the impact of Jaylen Brown's move on the Eastern Conference power balance?
Brown's move elevates the 76ers into stronger title contention and prompts a major recalibration of East standings, with teams like Boston needing to redefine their core around remaining stars and salary-cap constraints.
Season Superlatives
Q: What impact could Giannis's potential departure have on the NBA landscape?
Analysts suggest it would redraw the conference balance, spark multiple strategic trade discussions, and force teams to rethink rosters around a marquee star who can alter a franchise's future.
Draft Talk
Q: What could Kareem Lopez bring to an NBA team next year?
Kareem Lopez is described as a 7'1 wingspan shot-maker with length and developing outside shooting, whose background in the NBL and Mexican basketball program suggests he could be a versatile, high-IQ big who can stretch the floor, defend with length, and grow into a multi-positional role.
NBA Draft Show
Q: What is the biggest question for the Wizards tonight?
Whether AJ Dybansta is really the best fit at number one and how he would pair with a core like Trey Young given the team's strategic needs and the surrounding roster.
Draft Countdown
Q: What does a successful rookie season look like for AJ Dybantsa?
The expectation is immediate impact and playoff participation, with Rookie of the Year as a potential but balanced against team success.
