This week, the SPORTS BOIS are talking about a quality that was on abundant display during the first round of the NBA playoffs (this episode was recorded when most of the first-round series were still going, and Patrick Beverley hadn't yet chucked a ball at a fan's face): goonery! Is this another opportunity for Sean to clown on Joel Embiid, who is really way too good at basketball to act the way he does? You better believe it is. But that's not all it is; the gang has the smoke for a number of other playoff heels.

This week, the gang (minus Sean) gets together to talk about a thing that's been a key part of so many moments in our lives and friendship together: beer. But it seems that everyone's relationship with a frosty-cold oat soda has maybe changed in the past decade or so, so it's time to unpack that!

This week, the SPORTS BOIS are here to talk about the NBA playoffs and how things have changed in the Play-in Tournament era. Are we punishing the #1 seeds somehow? And do the Celtics have anything to fear but fear itself?

NOTE: This episode was recorded before the play-in games, which means any mention of the Heat and Pelicans does not account for the injuries to Jimmy Butler and Zion Williamson.

This week, the gang talks a little bit about their March Madness trip to Los Angeles, and the sushi spot that maybe ruined all other sushi spots for Kevin. What did YOU experience one time and know you would never match that level again?

This week, Pierce's experience both reading and watching L.A. Confidential has the gang pondering a classic conundrum: How are you supposed to evaluate movies based on books?

This week, the gang talks about setting goals for self-improvement, and ponders Pierce's theory that you can't really evaluate any goal like that on a timeline shorter than a year.

This week, the SPORTS BOIS are talking about why the last minute or two of sporting events get treated so differently than all of the preceding minutes, especially by the referees.

This week, the gang gets together to draft their favorite moments in sports. Some of them will make perfect sense. Others — hell, maybe most of them — will make whatever the literal opposite of perfect sense is. Check it out!

This week, the gang talks about how some companies are going about trying to bring their employees back to the office from time to time with perks like an occasional free lunch — and why that strategy seems doomed to fail. Will one of these four fully remote workers argue that companies should just institute a policy and deal with whatever consequences come of it? You'll have to listen to find out!
