Relatively Speaking Podcast

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you sort out the entire LeBron James debacle as well as the entire NBA Playoffs being less than awesome.

In typical fashion, the show begins with Jared putting Joseph in a horrible position. After the latter of the two dances around his reasons for running away from a neighbor's house over the weekend, the real fun begins.

The Boston Celtics stunned the world on Sunday after upsetting the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron was pretty awful in that game. Jared points out the level if indifference James appeared to show on Sunday while Joseph yells at his co-host for not having strong opinions.

Is it a big deal? Does this have any larger meaning to it? Can this now result in a tremendous Eastern Conference Finals? All those questions, plus many more, are answered in this here podcast.

Kevin Durant spoke to the quality of the NBA Playoffs recently. In a nutshell, the Golden State Warriors bucket-maker said if you don't like the competition level of the games, don't bother watching. Jared has some relatively small issues with those comments. Joseph, of course, agrees with the Slim Reaper.

Absurd Questions closes out the show. If you ever wanted to hear the guys wax poetic about late 1990s St. John's basketball, here is your chance. Also, hot-takes involving what is the best food to tip in sauce.

You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops.

The same with Joseph over at @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to haunt your dreams like a bad horror movie from the 1980s. This edition of the podcast is a bit heavy with NBA, but there's plenty of other random stuff to go around.

Ping pong balls fell in a certain way this week to make the upcoming 2017 NBA Draft as interesting as it has ever been. Couple that with one of the (projected) best classes in roughly a decade, and we have ourselves a ton of fun just ready to go.

What should the Boston Celtics do with the No. 1 overall pick? Is it better to see if the franchise can land a known superstar like a Jimmy Butler or a Paul George, or should the franchise punt for down the line by drafting in the position currently slotted?

Jared and Joseph both think the world of this draft class. With that being the case, and with the combine behind us, the dastardly duo attempt to mock draft the lottery selection portion of it. It is in a segment we call -- the NBA lottery mock! Very original, we know.

After all the serious conversations are out of the way, it is off to the land of crowd-sourced content! Hip, hip hooray.

Questions were good this week.

How long is a second (really)?

If you feeling like a green animal that sometimes drinks tea and looks indifferent, jump to follow the guys on the mean streets of Twitter.

Jared can be found over yonder @JMintzHoops.

The other spawn of evil can be found @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is better than your favorite podcaster's favorite podcast. Also, we have Jameel Warney as a special guest and they do not.

This edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast is so good that you can ask anyone about how good it is... and you know what they would say? "That this specific edition of the podcast is very, very good."

As mentioned, former Stony Brook legend and current D-League talent, Jameel Warney, joins the podcast.

We discuss many basketball things with the Texas Legends big man.

What was it like going through the NBA Draft process coming out of high school?

Who is his favorite Twitter follower (other than Joseph)?

Any advice to people who like sliding in the DMs?

What was the Summer League experience like?

Who is his favorite musician (this is a stunning answer)?

What did he learn from playing in the D-League?

Draymond Green is one of his biggest inspirations... and how he'd make popcorn to make the NBA if need be.

That is only a small fraction of what the guys talk about on this episode of the Relatively Speaking Podcast. It is literally a very insightful, enlightening and fun edition of the show.

You can follow all three of the guys on the mean streets of Twitter, if you so dare.

Jameel can be found @Fullcoursemeelz.

Jared is over yonder @JMintzHoops.

Joseph is wandering aimlessly over @JosephNardone.

PSA: Jameel very much understood the Relatively Speaking Podcast brand. This is your must-listen episode of the podcast.

What has zero thumbs, is an inanimate object, and will leave you all warm and tingly on the insides? If you guessed the Relatively Speaking Podcast, then you very much understand how each of these openers in the podcast work.

With the San Antonio Spurs sitting the team's star, but with the Houston Rockets playing with the skill of a group of humans minus their thumbs, the fallout from Game 6 on Thursday night is going to be other-worldly.

After Jared and Joseph give the Spurs their due credit, the hosts' eyes wander to the end of the Houston season.

What had happened was? Well, it isn't nearly as bad of a loss as some will think. Furthermore, both Jared and Joseph agree that Houston's season was 99 percent a success and that the offseason is more about adding some depth than it is any sort of wild overhaul.

Draymond Green calls someone else a dirty player and also said the media treats him unfair. What does that mean? That he's our Poop In The Basket segment award winner! Listen to get our wonderful hosts' opinions on the matter.

Thanks to Green, and through magic we suppose, the guys then begin to discuss the Big 3 (Ice Cube's league). In what is probably the most comical section of the podcast, come for the breakdown of Brian Cook and stay for the shock and awe of the guys finding out some of their favorite players from yesteryear are in this thing.

PSA: Magic is not real.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to bring the noise. What kind of noise you ask? The sort that will see your frown, slap it silly, and turn it into a smiley face. Yup... the Relatively Speaking Podcast is that good.

This episode of the podcast -- per the usual -- is fire.

The show begins with Joseph discussing his daughter consuming a holy figure in wafer form, but how he avoids drinking that holy figure's blood just in case it is bitter. You know, normal and sane stuff.

After that, it is an acknowledgement of the greatness that is both LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Did you know Bron Bron scored at least 35 points in each of the games against Toronto?

Speaking of the Raptors, Jared and Joseph discuss what the franchise do with the roster this offseason. With a few key players having their contracts run up, and with the idea of Toronto's ceiling having already been hit, it will be an interesting few months for the folk up North.

Kristaps Porzingis sent a tweet, claimed he was hacked, and handled it all in a way that is very Porzing-y of him. Jared and Joseph have ideas of what really transpired over the weekend.

The show ends with Absurd Questions. Jared wants to know about meeting famous people (yes, Joseph brings up Marty Jannetty), while Joseph gives Jared a question in which he somehow wins the segment.

Yes... Jared won a segment that is not designed to be played as a game. It was, honestly, amazing.
