Hosts Ben Rice & Phil Webster return to discuss the Sacramento Kings' so-far triumphant return to the NBA playoffs after a staggering absence, as well as a recap of the rest of the 1st round serieseseses to date. Strengths, weaknesses, adjustments, how there's no accounting for Jimmy Butler, injuries, health, all that stuff that you try to pretend doesn't happen, dumb luck. It's playoff time, baby! And we have a lot to discuss and even more to say.

Half the PDR team sits down with comedian and former co-host of the Cowbell Kingdom podcast Daniel Humbarger, to catch up on his post-podcast-host life, his history with non-Kings basketball, and 16 years of losing before their current redemption season. We talk about favorite Kings players at each position, the Ring of Honor/Kings Hall of Fame, and putting our brains in the bodies of draft busts. Plus, we relive our glory days, deal with our issues of perceived manliness, and start then stop several therapy sessions because it's not that kind of podcast. Unless maybe it is?
You can find Daniel's minimal online presence on IG @danielhumbarger or just check out his album Funny Bones wherever you get that kind of stuff.

We hey listen up it was fun and we dunk irresponsibly, as we try to figure out if we should light the beam or if the refs are trying to implement point shaving. Plus we praise rookie Keegan Murray's grace under pressure

Hosts Ben Rice & Phil Webster are back, and we're recording at Alaro Craft Brewery & Kitchen, with special guest, head brewer and Duke of Alchemy Chris Keeton, to talk about growing up too short to have realistic Hoop Dreams, how a New Mexican can find love through hockey, and the delectable classic and experimental offerings Chris has made at Alaro and Rubicon (RIP). Plus! Barely any current NBA events, so much LIGHT THE BEAM/FIRE THE LASER action, and the importance of space and gravity in all sports. Do we reference every single major sport in this episode? Absolutely. Because we're well-rounded. Like a basketball. And of course, we compare multiple Alaro beers to NBA players past and present. Duh.

Hosts Ben Rice and Phil Webster finally return to bring you the latest and greatest, the hottest takes and the coldest beers, of the 2022-2023 NBA season/preseason/free agency/draft. Look, life comes at you pretty fast, and if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss an episode recording or 7. This is THE premier episode of this basketball and beer podcast, as we tackle all(?) 30 teams in just over an hour, even with us taking a very long break to compare our beer of the "week" Campus Brewing's Fight Me, I'm Irish Irish coffee pastry stout (RIP to one of the greats). We tackle NBA drama, team building, and our Conference Championship picks, plus a little fatherhood chat, mortality, and so much more. You, Hasani, have waited a long time for this return, and the Kings don't miss. So grab a brew, put on your old school Charlotte Hornets jersey, and give this debut episode a spin. Enjoy!

In this episode of Please Dunk Responsibly, hosts Ben Rice and Phil Webster look into the future to guess what will happen in the 2022 NBA Draft, the first days of free agency, and...oh wait, no, we're late... ok, so maybe we try to figure out WTF the Mavs are doing?, where Durant is going (and how good he is now), and dunk on the Pistons like they're Shawn Bradley.
Plus we re-crown our 2021-2022 Milkshake IPA Player of the Year, discuss the SF Warriors' stadium, and Phil philosophizes about the most toxic players in the NBA.

Hosts Ben Rice and Phil Webster return with their tails tucked between their legs after going 0/2 in their Finals picks before the Conference Finals even happened. From a failed Robin for Giannis to a disastrous preseason decision for the Suns, we've got blame to share and plenty of beer to go around!
Over a split pint of Intrinsic, an Enhanced West Coast IPA, from Temescal, Headlands, and Del Cielo, we discuss our new picks for the winners of the Conference Finals, plus our 2021-2022 NBA Finals champs.
Along the way, we wonder what comes next for the losers, discuss one (positive) thing the NBA can take from the NFL, and make our selections for the 2021-2022 Milkshake IPA Player of the Year (you do not want this award and we have eliminated Russell Westbrook and James Harden from the running, in a very reasonable "hey, MJ can't win EVERY MVP" argument).

Hosts Ben Rice & Phil Webster return to break down the first round of the 2021-2022 NBA playoffs and preview the conference semifinals. We fawn over what the NBA is turning into and what this year's first-round outs could look like next year, consider a new GOAT, and wonder why great players sometimes make mediocre coaches. Plus some cross-sport comparisons to go along with our patented beer-player comparisons!
