Relatively Speaking Podcast

The Relatively Speaking Podcast cares not for your NCAA Tournament bracket. Put down the social media device, refrain from telling us about what Cinderella is going to make a run, and realize that your hopes and dreams of winning whatever office pool you are in matters to us as much as we care about Larry from two blocks over.

Yeah. Seriously. {Expletive} Larry!

Hey, did you guys know Lonzo Ball is a good basketball player? Word on the mean streets of people having a brain tell us most of you do. Those same people, though, say his father, LaVarr, is as nuts as a two-headed unicorn.

Jared and Joseph discuss everything happening in the Ball family home. Is it nuts? Is LaVarr using his kids for profit? Is daddy dearest actually a genius who is railing against the NCAA's free-labor system? So many gosh slam questions. Luckily for you, our friend, we have answers.

Dana White has thoughts on the supposed "soon to happen" mega-fight between two athletes from two different sports. While few would care to see LeBron James play Darren Daulton in a game of jump rope, a nation wouldn't mind two prizefighters doing battle in a sport only one of the two of them actually participates in. Jared and Joseph, naturally, have even more thoughts!

One of America's most favorite -- and lazily put together -- podcast segments is back! Ask Me Anything (AMA, for you cool kids), is a straight flame emoji this week. After receiving millions upon millions of tweets asking the hosts questions, the dastardly duo give planet Earth some answers!

OK. Fine. Whatever. There were like 10 tweets.

You can follow Jared on the future-device known as Twitter @JMintzHoops.

Follow Joseph at @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever. What... you don't believe us? How can we prove such a thing? Well, we are incredibly glad you asked.

After spending two weeks getting married, going on a honeymoon, and futile attempts at making babies, Jared Mintz is back to the podcast with all the rest a good human needs to bring a flame emoji with a verbal assault on the free world.

Or, really, something like that.

Since Jared has been gone for two weeks, the guys start the show quickly discussing some recent NBA happenings. This was after, mind you, the dastardly duo rambled about television shows and other random things to start this episode.

After letting everyone know that Golden State and Cleveland are still the favorites, the Relatively Speaking Podcast turned its inanimate eye toward the NCAA Tournament.

Hey, Syracuse, want to complain about not making the Big Dance? How about winning some games outside the Carrier Dome -- said an angered Jared Mintz.

Joseph, per his contract, then rambled about people being happy and if they are happy, then you should be happy.

Absurd Questions closes the show.

More embarrassing: Food in the teeth or a booger hanging from the nose?

What would Jared do if nine months from now his new wife gave birth to babies that were clearly not his?

So, uh, how do we say this as kindly as humanly possible without coming off as huge jerks who are just trying to meet a specific wordcount at this point?

Welcome back, Jared!

This is the last edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast before Jared Mintz returns from his two week quest of creating babies post-marriage. Luckily for the podcast, as well as or inept other co-host Joseph Nardone, Sam Vecenie guests on this episode.

For those somehow unaware, Sam currently writes words on both college basketball and the NBA Draft for Sporting News and Vice. He also has his own podcast called Game Theory Podcast.

Per typical 'we have a guest on' rules, the podcast begins with fan-favorite segment Five Random Questions.

What did our high-volumed hair host ask Sam?

Well, some of the questions concerned Sam's beard preference, if a lobster can take down a unicorn, as well as some thoughts concerning Mr. Pibb. Somehow, but not at all oddly, Five Random Questions turned into a million random questions, as Joseph had many followup queries.

After alienating a large portion of the listenership that likely came to the podcast to hear Sam speak about college basketball, the guys discuss the idea of fixing the way one-bid leagues send teams to the NCAA Tournament. Sam and Joseph don't agree on all things related to the conversation, but quality insight is available for all to consume.

What NBA Draft prospects is Sam excited to watch the rest of the way? Can Joseph lure him to jump on the Tacko Fall bandwagon? So many question. So many answers... if you listen to the podcast.

To finish the show, Sam offers some sage advice for those looking to get into the media field. It should go without saying, but given the climate of how many use social media today, it had to be said. What was said? Again, listen to find out.

You can follow Sam on Twitter @Sam_Vecenie.

You can also follow the less talented of the two on the mean streets of Twitter @JosephNardone.

Who has two thumbs, is currently reading words, and is about to let delightful noises entertain the insides of your cranium? That's right... it is you! Lucky, handsome and/or beautiful and smart, you. You get to listen to the Relatively Speaking Podcast.

Hooray, you! Or something like that.

Jared Mintz remains pretending he is on his honeymoon when he is actually trophy hunting ants in Yonkers. As a special guest co-host on this edition of your favorite podcast, FanRag Sports Content Direction and MLB writer Tommy Stokke joins the broadcast.

The show begins with Joseph trying to let Tommy introduce himself through five questions. Tommy, on the other hand, treated it like an interrogation.

Our special guest co-host does not really believe in speeding up baseball. The guys discuss.

What Conspiracy Theories does the Relatively Speaking Podcast have up its sleeve this week? Well, Tommy wasn't sure if Michael Jordan actually retired from basketball the first time around or if he was suspended. Joseph believes we are all ants in an intergalactic ant-farm -- because of course that is he what he believes.

The peak of the show may have been the duo's discussions about steroids in both baseball and in sports in general. Joseph, as long as it is regulated, is very pro-let's get jacked. As for Tommy, he is slightly more tepid in his willingness, but isn't totally against it.

As it does every single week, the Relatively Speaking Podcast with Absurd Questions. Joseph double-dips while Tommy asks one of the most important questions to ever be asked.

With Jared Mintz still off on his honeymoon, the Relatively Speaking Podcast welcomes its second new partner into the figurative bedroom. On this edition, it is talented MMA writer, and all-around solid member of the human species, Kristian Ibarra.

As it is tradition whenever a guest co-host enters the figurative octagon, Joseph asks Kristian a series of questions to help the listeners to get to know our new friend. Among some of the renowned queries were about the combat-sports writer's fisticuff skills, whether or not he would be cool going on a voyage with aliens, and several other high-quality questions.

After that, it is to Kristian's wheelhouse -- the UFC.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast asks our favorite MMA writer why the UFC is the best! After that, we then ask him why the company is the worst! He gives answers to both questions. They are good answers. The best answers. In fact, you can ask anyone and they will tell you that, yes, they were the greatest answers to those two questions ever.

That Don't Look Good returns this week. Kristian waxes poetic about his mother being snoopy. Joseph discusses sending very private text messages to the wrong person.

Ask Me Anything caps off this wonderful episode of the planet's greatest podcast. All you need to know is that by the end of it, the FanRag Sports' fourth-wall might not be broken, but it was certainly hit with a blanket. Well, maybe not even a blanket, but one of the bosses apparently tried to murder Kristian with cold.
