Ballin' Out - The HBO Ballers Recap Show

In the penultimate episode of season three of Ballers, The Rock and Joe take a trip to San Francisco and Oakland to prepare their final pitch for the Vegas stadium deal. The Rock struggles to articulate his desire for a child to Chloe before they split for the episode (and maybe for good?). Spencer learns that there is a competitive bid and doesn't take kindly to the Raiders' lack of communication on that front. Meanwhile, Ricky has a crisis of conscience and announces to the Patriots that he has a concussion and ultimately loses the deal he was about to sign. Dave and Joel finish up this episode with a discussion of how the character of Melvin is both long-overdue and simultaneously problematic and make their predictions for the "winners" and "losers" we'll see in next week's season finale.

In what could be considered one of the richest texts of the season, Dave and Joel begin their breakdown of episode eight of Ballers season three with a look into the budding relationship between the Rock and his new girlfriend, Chloe. Joel breaks down Travis Scott's ongoing product placement in the series while Dave explains how Charles' theories on the Dolphins offensive future represent an entirely new alternate NFL universe. They finish with a look at the ongoing economic mayhem the Rock and Joe are causing with their stadium project and take a moment to ponder what may transpire in the final two episodes of the season.

After a one week hiatus, Joel and Dave are back to break down the last two episodes of Ballers. They track the Ricky Jarrett head injury plot line and his dalliance with his teen neighbor as well as Julie Green's new career as an orthopedic surgeon. They then discuss the ongoing Vegas deal, along with the revelation that the chairman of the board is Mr. Anderson's brother! They close out the episode with some discussion of what's to come and where we're headed as the Rock and crew look to be headed towards financial ruin (again!).

On this week's episode, Dave and Joel are joined by a special guest! Chris Wade (@saywhatagain) joins to give his takes on the Rock's uncanny propensity to throw phones out of car windows and leave Bentleys parked in the left lane of highways. The three guys discuss how the show has not one but two different Dallas Cowboys franchises operating in the same NFL universe before diving into yet another uncomfortable intimate encounter between the Rock and his girlfriend. They get to the bottom of what happened with Ricky Jarrett last week and debate the technological advancements of virtual reality in the Ballers multiverse. All that and more on this week's episode of Ballin' Out!

Joe and Spencer lament the fact that they're not part of the NFL owners "boys club", but what are they actually looking to accomplish? On this episode of Ballin' Out, Dave and Joel revisit the question of whether moving an NFL team to Vegas is truly a noble idea. They look at Spencer's flexible reasoning behind his motivations and question whether anyone on the show will call him out for what it is - an ego play. Joel then brings up the idea of what the show would be like in an alternate universe where Jason the agent is played by a female actor and also whether they've both misread the character of Wayne Hastings. The episode closes out with an examination of why the hell Ricky ended up in that random kid's house. All that and more on this week's episode of Ballin' Out!

On this week’s episode Dave and Joel celebrate the gift of boats with hot tubs before breaking down the current state of the deal to bring the Raiders to Vegas. Joel proposes his “alternative timeline” theory of understanding the Ballers universe while Dave tries to figure out exactly why the Rock might be an “enemy of the league”. Dave and Joel go on to break down the rest of the big moves, doctor’s visits and baby mama drama on this week’s episode of Ballin’ Out.

Spencer makes his way to Vegas to start wining and dining the local politicians needed to approve a stadium deal while Jason tries his hardest to ignore his Mom while waiting in a sketchy playground to win a new client. On the show, Dave discusses whether we should even be rooting for the Rock to convince Las Vegas to spend public money on a stadium while Joel talks us through the steps it takes to go from watching Monster Trucks in a luxury box to actually driving a Monster Truck in order to prove you know what locals love. All that and this week's "Scenes that could've been an email" on this week's episode of Ballin' Out!
