Agu & Andre: Hoop Truthers

Alright fools. This episode is absolutely 0% basketball. If you wanna hear about pop culture and some bullshit, check this out! We talk about Ben Shapiro being inept in bed, Disney Adults somehow being bigger virgins than Shapiro himself, David Dobrik being the second coming of Hitler, and more and more and more. Check it out or choke on your replica Harry Potter wand you fucking nerd. 

Welcome to a very special edition of No Bucks Given :). Me and Chonk (friend of the show, check out CASUALS ep 1) do a live reaction to the Space Jam: The Next Generation trailer. We talk a lot of trash whilst giving credit to the OG film. We also go on several tangents randomly talking about:

- Zathura: A Space Adventure

- Will Smith's 'Entanglement' Issues

- Seth Rogen's Green Hornet

Hope you enjoy :)

Nick Andre returns! I bring him back to again exploit his niche basketball expertise and the tireless amount of content that he puts out. This time its for a recap and analysis of the WNBA draft. Was Collier that right choice at #1? Does it matter considering the Wings had three picks in the top five? Will I ever stop using this outdated format where I just ask questions? Tune in to find out.

Other topics include:

- KD's latest injury

- LaMelo Ball cleared to practice

- Myles Turner out indefinetly

- Sterling Brown assaulted in Miami

- WNBA fire new jerseys and mini controversy

WNBA Jersey Controversy: https://www.si.com/wnba/2021/04/16/dallas-wings-jersey-pulled-controversy

Oh baby, the weekend episodes are ramping up. GuBoy brings in Miller and old friend of the pod Shellander to talk about a multitude of NBA topics and more. NBA-wise this ep contains:

- Reactions to the Jamal Murray injury (Shellander recites his live reaction)

- Thoughts on the Aldridge retirement plus Shams shameless tweeting of it (guess who's shithead of the week)

- James Wiseman out for the season

- Giannis returns from an extended absence

Beyond that we talk about what made us feel like worthless meatbags this week, getting hit on by men at bars, and Carly (surprise mystery guest!) chimes in from time to time. It is an absolute mess of a time, I hope you enjoy!

Friend of the show Dan Brophy comes back on to again discuss the Chicago Bulls. This time it is to dissect the Bulls a few weeks removed of their big moves at the trade deadline. Has Vooch delivered? How correlated is it to wins? This plus thoughts on the Timberwolves sale to ARod (yeesh) and Giannis' concerning extended absence.

SOLO EP!!!! First time hopping on without a guest. Guboy shouts out Aruba for making up <1% of the listeners before diving into the buyout market. We discuss the fit of people that have already signed like Drummond, LMA, and Jeff Teague. We also discuss what the rest of the buyout market could look like, who could get bought out and who they would sign with. The discussion of whether the buyout market is unfair to non-contenders is touched on as well. Check it out or be doomed to genuinely laugh at Office gifs and memes.

I bring friend of the show Nick Hansen back on to talk about the biggest and smallest deals of the NBA Trade Deadline. We discuss inconsequential deals like Delon Wright to Sacramento, mid-tier deals like Norman Powell to the Trail Blazers (most wtf trade award right here), and the big boi trades like Chicago finally saving Vooch!!! All that and more in the latest episode from your averagely annoying yet endearing host and pals.

THE BOYS ARE BACK. The inaugural guests of No Bucks Given, ES3N, return to talk all things pre NBA trade deadline. We discuss the latest rumors, injury updates, and offer some trade proposals of our own. As always we are podcasting on hard mode, so the wifi cut once and Richie took a phone call at some point. Enjoy :)
