Relatively Speaking Podcast

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with the fury of 1,000 suns and with more vengeance than Bruce Willis after getting divorced a few times over (and having killed hundreds of evil-doers).

Today's episode of the podcast is a straight flame emoji to the cranium, as Jared and Joseph have plenty to talk about. On Friday, it starts with the entire Boston Red Sox-Baltimore Orioles and unwritten rules of baseball debacle.

Manny Machado took (AUDIBLE GASP) 30 seconds to job around the bases after hitting a homer on Thursday evening. People are #madonline over this, as this apparently shows up an entire team -- which, uh, tried to hit him in the head with a baseball five times.

Anyway, this sparks a much larger conversation about baseball's unwritten rules not only being more outdated than wearing clothes from The Gap, but how MLB is the only sport that allows its players to govern themselves. Also, you know, how a baseball is considered an "okay enough" weapon when throwing at a person's head, but heaven forbid you take a slow jog!

Speaking of fun optics, the NBA had a near donnybrook on Thursday evening after a big guy from Boston screened a slightly less big guy from Washington. Aftermath hot-takes inside this here podcast!

Woj to ESPN.

AMA's as so random this week that our editing team had to delete roughly eight minutes of hot-takes from the episode due to poor taste.

However, after the bad look was over, Jared and Joseph discuss the heartwarming story of a family releasing its mom and pop startup on Thursday called Big Baller Brand.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you overcome the Monday blues. Something like that, but it is worth noting that if you are sad and the podcast does not help in making you happy, you should consult the finest episode of Teddy Ruxpin.

Monday's edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast is legitimately lit.

After Jared asks if he should stop setting up Joseph to nail down the same topical joke each week, it is reactions to the NBA Playoffs!

The most notable discussion had on the podcast was about the Los Angeles Clippers. Both hosts are against blowing up the team, and Joseph makes a case that Chris Paul need not chase the rings because what he has done for the franchise is more impressive.

Rarely used segment Things On Our Mind also returned during this edition of the podcast. Jared waxes poetic about the New York Yankees, while Joseph tells mankind how Randy Orton can somehow overcome a refrigerator being dropped on him and (we think?) job to an arena after.

Another interesting NBA discussion had: Gordon Hayward's shift from wiry college basketball superstar to that of a legit NBA talent who has a nice haircut.

This episode closes as have all great podcast episodes before it -- with Absurd Questions!

Joseph makes a case that if you followed Ja Rule anywhere, you likely got what you deserved.

Inspired by this, Jared would like to know what rappers people think they can beat up. After much mulling it over, the co-hosts agree that nearly every rapper in the history of the art would destroy both of them.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast comes to you with a heavy heart, a mental state filled with burdens, and less joy than it usually brings to the table.

There is some -- cough -- relatively good news. This episode of the podcast immediately starts off the rails. Joseph discusses how he is currently using steroids, Jared mentions how bad he was at baseball (he never had a hit!) and the two agree that there's a difference between organized basketball and pickup hoop.

The joy, mostly, ends there.

It is then off to discuss the biggest news of the week, and it isn't the NFL Draft.

ESPN released 100 people from its company on Wednesday. This wasn't the people working behind the scenes, either. It was the talent who brought a varying types of experience, styles and perspective to the table. It is, sincerely, a horrible thing for the industry.

Jared and Joseph attempt to discuss the entire ordeal. It is a far more complex than currently portrayed, so the duo attempt to do a better job explaining and expressing it.

Some of the biggest, and possibly strangest, things that were noted:

Joseph sticks up for Stephen A. Smith and slams someone who only goes after the lowest hanging fruit.

Jared brings up some writers who attempted to have everyone rally around the industry on Thursday.

Both discuss what is next.

There is so much more than just that, but it is hard to put in words. Just give it a listen.

You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops.

As for Joseph, he's at @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you overcome a weekend of quality NBA basketball. If the podcast were a shrink, it would talk you down from Monday morning NBA Playoffs sadness.

After finding out that Joseph and Jared open the show oddly, it is time to discuss the biggest and best happenings over a tremendous April weekend.

The Memphis-San Antonio game was crazy on Sunday. Marc Gasol has truly become a hero to all the people. Do the guys think there is now a chance the Spurs get upset? Also, find out why Joseph wants to place blame on a certain person who forever gets a free pass.

Bulls-Celtics is a bit different now, right? Jared believes that this is just the law of averages playing out, while Joseph is determined to stick with his "Chicago has the best player on the court, so I am going with the Bulls" routine. It is a truly wonderful routine.

The Pacers are gone the way of the dinosaurs. What does that mean for Paul George? You can listen to find out!

It is also worth noting that, despite sweeping Indiana, Jared and Joseph still have major questions for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Blake Griffin hurt his toe, Steve Kerr has major back issues, and everyone should be sad about this. Probably -- heaven forbid -- feel a level of empathy for the guys out with the issues.

Two fan favorite segments return this week. Both Poop in the Basket and Absurd Questions end the show on an incredibly high note.

You're welcome, humans.

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. A place in the sports world where LeBron James is discussed as being somehow underrated. In all realms of sports, and you can ask anyone about this, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is the best thing since the slicing of bread for consumption.

Friday's episode begins as should all podcast episodes, as Jared and Joseph discuss the awesomeness that is LeBron James. On Thursday evening, the NBA superstar had one of the most impressive triple-doubles a member of the human species will ever see.

Due to that, the hosts discuss LeBron from a historical standpoint. Both tend to believe that he is going to go down as one of the best ever, and Jared and Joseph also believe there is a chance he is inching toward Michael Jordan.

Unfortunately for fans of fun, the show becomes a bit more morbid after the LeBron talk.

First up is the entire Carmelo Anthony situation. If we are to be more accurate, it is about how people are making jokes at his family's expense.

After that, it gets even more depressing. Jared and Joseph discuss the week's most dominating story. Neither of the hosts has any idea how they are meant to feel.

To finish the show, Seal helps the Relatively Speaking Podcast get back to its hilarious ways. World famous, and much beloved, AMAs returns this week.

What memes are you sick of?

Who should be playing next to Russell Westbrook?

PSA: We love you all.
