  • Julius Randle Reformation
    May 13 2025

    Aaron and Evan tip off by getting into the ramifications of what appears to be a major injury for Jayson Tatum and what that means for the Celtics, both present and future. Then they touch on the Cavaliers struggling to keep pace in their second-round series and what that may mean for their future (23:50). That's followed by the resident Thunder fanatic confusing his Jalen/Jaylin's (53:56), and then the time-honored broadcasting tradition of complaining about the postseason officiating (1:06:05). The guys then get into potential landing spots for Jonathan Kuminga (1:21:22) and do some gushing about the Julius Randle reformation (1:24:56), before closing with some draft lottery discussion (1:38:43).

  • Someone Tell The New Avengers That Anthony Edwards Is Collecting Infinity Stones
    May 6 2025

    Aaron and Evan start by performing autopsies on the Clippers (2:10) and Rockets (14:31), including a discussion on whether Houston should trade for KD, Giannis, or a very intriguing Door Number 3 (26:00). That’s followed by second-round playoff talk, featuring a take on the Knicks that immediately goes badly (33:10), an aside about how Bill Raferty seems like a good hang (38:56), and a conversation about who would you rather have: Tyrese Haliburton or Donovan Mitchell (47:34). The guys then close by delving into the Denver–Oklahoma City (57:40) and Minnesota–Golden State series (1:14:38).

  • Killer Kawhi and Early Playoff Impressions
    Apr 23 2025

    Aaron starts out by immediately pissing off Boston fans with his take on Payton Pritchard winning Sixth Man of the Year (2:53). Then the guys have a conversation about the Magic's lack of offensive trickery and the return of Franz's woeful long-range shooting (23:46). Aaron then cooks some Greek food (54:33), followed by some awe-induced gushing about Kawhi Leonard's Game 2 performance (1:17:28), before he and Evan upset Knicks fans--again--with even more animus-inspiring takes on Jalen Brunson's foul-baiting (1:29:48).

  • Play-In/Playoff Preview
    Apr 15 2025

    Aaron and Evan briefly discuss Paige Bueckers being selected as the number one overall pick in the WNBA Draft before diving into the far more depressing conversation of the setting Suns (9:30).

Then, the boys get into the 3–6 and 4–5 matchups in both the Eastern (1:09:09) and Western Conferences (1:36:50) before wrapping up with some talk of the NBA's Final Day All-Stars (2:08:32).

  • Dark Alley All-Stars
    Mar 19 2025

    Evan rants about arbitrary accolades while Aaron claims he loves historical stats—right before botching a big one. We work in a Ricky Davis reference (10:41)! Somewhere around the conversation about Steph's possibility of making it to 5,000 career threes, Aaron's audio starts acting right (20:57). Then, we give you our 3-up/3-down and problem/problematic players before delving into a conversation about the league's most menacing players (1:36:44).
