Relatively Speaking Podcast

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is in an Ohio State of mind. Between the Cleveland Cavaliers apparently being toast and the Ohio State Buckeyes firing Thad Matta and going through a weird coaching search, we might as well be broadcasting from Akron.

To start this famed podcast, Jared and Joseph discuss the NBA Finals.

LeBron James is getting too much heat for being consistently great. Weird, right?

The end of Game 3 looked like a failure, but it was actually rather logical.

Can Cleveland somehow add to its roster for next season to better compete?

After that, the Relatively Speaking Podcast pulls a segment out of the dumpster, as Conspiracy Theories returns! Joseph has some riveting takes on the entire Ohio State situation. Not only does he understand why Gene Smith took until June to fire Matta, but he believes the hiring of Chris Holtmann was the right move.

Following some college basketball hot-takes, Jared Put The Poop In The Basket by going after NFL writers for defending the league's shield.

Finally, the show ends as should all properly produced podcasts -- with an AMA!

Does these NBA Finals make LeBron want to leave Cleveland?

Can any team do anything to counter Golden State for next season?

A question concerning the 2017 NBA Draft that results in Joseph lovingly talking about nearly every second-round draft pick as if he were their father.

Joseph can be found @JosephNardone.

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. Your home for sounds being made from the orifices of the hosts. You won't find another podcast in the history of podcasts with two hosts who have such wonderful oral orifices.

On this edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, Jared and Joseph look back at the absolutely dominating performance of the Golden State Warriors through two games of the NBA Finals.

Kevin Durant has been an one-of-a-kind monster. Like Shelton Benjamin, there ain't no stopping him now.

Steph Curry has quietly had two huge games himself. During Game 2, he acquired his first ever playoff triple-double. Does this start to get rid of some of the iffy Curry narratives hanging around because of Game 7 last year?

Joseph, very randomly, asks for Steve Kerr to play Ian Clark more.

Welcome back, Kerr!

In a totally not shocking development, Joseph is taking (supposedly) his two daughters to Monday Night Raw. What does he hope to see? Who are his spawns rooting for? Will Marty Jannetty make a triumphant return to the squared-circle?

This episode of the podcast ends as all episodes should -- with Absurd Questions.

Jared wants to know who are the best twins to have ever graced the Milky Way Galaxy. As for Joseph, he asks Jared what reality show (all-time) he would like to be a member of. It turns out both hosts are incredible cowards.

Do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you get ready. For what exactly? Stuff! Stuff, and the 2017 NBA Finals.

As usual, the show begins with some odd banter that has no place in big time championship preview podcasts. But so is life and so is the Relatively Speaking Podcast.

After Jared and Joseph do their usual morning routines, it is time to discuss everything Golden State Warriors versus Cleveland Cavaliers. By everything, we mean near everything.

Who are X-factors?

What is an X-factor?

Why do we keep inventing ways to say "guy who isn't great, but should do well in big moments" when we already have a thing called X-factor?

What is at stake for LeBron James?

Does Steph Curry need to win a title to win back the public?

Can Kevin Durant do anything to make people consider him anything other than a world-class front-runner?

There's even more discussion related to the NBA Finals than that, but we won't spoil the entire show because Jared and Joseph know you love surprises.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast closes this special show with predictions that will make your heart swoon!

The point here is an obvious one to note: If you want to know what is going to happen in this rubber match between these two fantastic franchises, you should probably set aside some time to consume the Relatively Speaking Podcast with -- and this is important -- BOTH of your ears (if available).

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you end your Memorial Day weekend correctly. First and foremost, remember what -- and WHO -- the day is actually about. Your hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks with friends are all great, as is that extra day off of work, but none of us would have any of that without courageous people giving the ultimate sacrifice so when can dabble in such entitlements.

This episode of the podcast is incredibly off-brand.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast starts with some NHL talk. Yes. That is correct. Jared and Joseph talk slapstick!

Joseph watched an E-60 over the weekend on P.K. Subban and now he's in love with the Nashville star. He wants the National Hockey League to make him the face of the sport. Jared also agrees... and he can name more than three hockey players! A true win for all hockey fans, in our not so humble opinion.

Subban was the show's lone sports talking point, but that is only because there was other fish to fry in this episode.

Is it called a cookout or a BBQ?

What are your favorite games to play outside with friends?

How about your least favorite?

Best food to eat at a festivity taking place outdoors?

What are the guys' preferred adult-beverages during such events?

The fire takes inside are just too hot to handle.

As always, thanks for all your support of the podcast!

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. A place that took Twitter's NBA Draft free agency idea and turned it into an entire segment.

On this edition of the podcast, the most important thing the audience will find out is that Jared Mintz is an elitist who also enjoys himself some socialism.

As it is the weekly tradition, after finding out about Joseph's plans to go dumpster diving this weekend, Jared is forced to issue an apology to LeBron James. On Monday's episode, Jared was sincerely concerned for the best player in the NBA. As of this podcast, not so much.

The guys then began to discuss some other NBA tomfoolery, but are holding off their NBA Finals preview show for next week.

The mean streets of Twitter was abuzz the last few days over the idea of replacing the NBA Draft with a rookie free agency type of situation. Jared and Joseph discuss the pros and cons of such an idea. Is the current system ethical? What logistical issues would there be? How much money can we make off of this? And so much more.

To finish the show, fan favorite segment Put The Poop In The Basket returns! This segment is dedicated to Lonzo Ball refusing to work out for the Boston Celtics. Is it bad? Is it good? Did anyone put the poop in the basket? Also, Jared yells at Joseph for calling Lonzo Magic Johnson-lite (like, VERY poor man's version).

You can follow Jared over in the shadows at @JMintzHoops.

Looming in the dark recesses of Twitter is the other guy @JosephNardone.
