About this listen

A weekly, one-of-a-kind podcast hosted by Portland basketball enthusiasts and self-proclaimed OGs, that’s Old Grandmas to you, Mary Lou and Phyllis. Original Gangstas of the game, these two know hoops!


Each week these friends package up all things basketball, kind of like chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, before serving up their unique spin on players, coaches, games, fans, trends, books, movies and more.

While their focus is on the NBA (their hometown Blazers often get some extra love), they won't hesitate to dive into college or WNBA topics when the moment calls for it.

Join Mary Lou and Phyllis for a lively, no-nonsense and surprisingly insightful take on the game they've loved for decades.

After all, OGs know ball!

    Whistle Blowers Basketball can get a little rough sometimes, but rules are rules! The OGs breakdown the different kinds of fouls and what they mean.

    Balls Don’t Lie Ever wonder about how teams get those top draft picks? This session is about breaking down how the lottery works and why it’s really a combination of luck and strategy.

    From Overlooked to Overtime What about players that aren’t drafted? Not every great player hears their name called on draft night. The OGS shine a light on undrafted hoopers who worked their way into the league.
