  • Says g——amn way too much

    I love Zach, I’ve listened for years. Best of the best when it comes to NBA analysis. But he uses the word g——amn more and more, to the point that it’s multiple times per episode now. It’s always completely unnecessary and adds nothing to the conversation. Not everybody is offended by a word like that but many are, and it sounds so ugly that I find myself turning off the podcast, as I did again today during the show with Chris Ryan and Michael Pina.

  • Zach and Grant: Old Men Yelling at Clouds, New Episode

    The banana peel tangent with Zach and Grant Liffmann was fantastic. Loved the Justin Verrier hand-waive rant reference too. I share this pet peeve. What each example comes back to, imo, is random inconsiderate acts. We live in a society. We are in this together. When someone shows a blatant lack of consideration with a simple annoying act, they should be reprimanded. And if they can’t reform, remove them. This is how we improve the quality of life for the rest of us.

  • Fixing society rant

    Zach‘s rant during the vet contract extensions pod was truly podcast gold. Let’s end the existence of cars with loud spoilers or cars that have any enhancement to make their car sound louder.

  • Love the show but the lakers guy today was awful.

    Please find a different lakers correspondent. Beyond being a super homer (like more than any I’ve heard), he didn’t seem to have any knowledge of the rest of the league. The worst part was him spending five minutes to describe why first round picks are good to non tanking teams. Also have some decorum, and try not to interrupt Zach for five seconds. Like he’d never been on a pod

  • Great podcast

    As Reed mentioned in his review this is an enjoyable and positive podcast that suffers from the increasing frequency of foul language. Doesn’t add anything to the discourse.

A Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals Preview! Plus, What's Next for the Thunder?
Q: What is the starting point for how the Knicks defend Weminyama?

The Knicks' Finals Run, and Most Iconic Calls With Mike Breen! Plus, Spurs-Thunder Game 6 Primer.
Q: Is there a modern day celebrity involved with Knicks culture that you'd want to see at the Finals?

Thunder Even the Series at 1! Adjustments for Both Sides and East Preview. Plus, Kevin Harlan on His Iconic Career!
Q: What did you see as the biggest adjustment in game two compared to game one?

Q: How has Wembanyama changed how teams defend and build for the future?
