Relatively Speaking Podcast

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with more vengeance than any Bruce Willis movie. This is a special edition of the podcast, as usual co-host Jared Mintz is off celebrating his marriage to the only woman on the planet capable of dealing with his New York Knicks hot-takes.

Thanks to that, the podcast has a very special guest co-host. FanRag Sports' own, and all around thespian, Alex Kolodziej makes his first ever appearance on the Relatively Speaking Podcast -- and the game has been changed forever.

After Joseph butchers pronouncing his last name, find out some important personal information about Alex.

Then it is off to actual sports conversation. Alex and Joseph discuss the most overrated franchises in all of sports. Alex comes with some hot-takes concerning the Dallas Cowboys and Michigan Wolverines, all while Joseph spends five quality minutes bashing DePaul basketball.

How would these two geniuses fix Major League Baseball? Something about murdering outfielders and creating a situation in which the best newspaper headlines ever are used.

Conspiracy Theories return this week, and does Alex ever have a bunch of them. After rattling off how many stalwarts are actually lies, Alex decides to let mankind know that scouting combine and player evaluations are all a scam. This will change your life.

Joseph's is not as fun.

The show ends up with fan-favorite segment Absurd Questions. Joseph wants to know if Alex can beat up one of America's cinematic darlings... and of course he can. Alex asks about people who sit on the same side of the booth as the other when the seat across is open. Those people, in our humble opinions, are the worst.

You can follow Alex on the mean streets of Twitter @AKolodziejFRS.

You can do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

Congratulations to Jared on getting married!

It is Friday! That is the good news. The even better news is that the Relatively Speaking Podcast is back to stimulate the pleasure nerves that rest inside your cranium.

Seriously. Talk about being spoiled, listener.

Anyway, we are only hours removed from the 2017 NBA trade deadline. Not a ton of big moves happened, but Jared would argue it was the moves that didn't actually happen that were the story of the idea. As for Joseph, he believes that there were a few notable trades.

Ask Me Anything helped the show get off the ground with trade stuff. The New York Knicks did what they tend to do (nothing good), while someone asked of Danny Ainge should be on the hot-seat (no).

Then a brand new segment was invented just so Joseph could create new theme music. It is more NBA trade deadline related stuff, but Magic Johnson being named the President of Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers is a highly touched on subject.

Many other topics were touched on. In fact, you can ask anybody about what the hosts touched on, and you know what they would tell you? That Jared and Joseph touched on many other topics and those topics were yuge.

Jared gets married this weekend, by the way. Celebrate him during his last podcast prior to signing his life away forever and ever -- and until death parts him from this realm of existence.

PSA: Congratulations to both Jared and his wife to be Jennifer.

Fresh off the NBA All-Star Weekend, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is ready to jam information, insight and entertainment inside your cranium.

The show begins with what is easily the largest happening over the weekend. With the Sacramento Kings sending Boogie Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans for three peanuts, Buddy Hield and a six-pack of McNuggets, Jared and Joseph both verbally ponder the decision to finally deal the talented big man.

With the discussion getting heated, it morphs into another topic concerning the use of the term "unicorn" to describe big men in today's NBA. Both Jared and Joseph believe that the term is used, and that if unicorns are meant to be rare, having so many of them in a sport makes it pointless.

Do we expect any other big NBA trades to happen before the trade deadline? The answer is mostly a no, but some possible scenarios are mentioned.

Bad Tweets is gone the way of the dinosaurs, friends. But no need to worry, as a replacement segment has been added to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. Today is the debut of Conspiracy Theories, and the world will never be the change.

The show ends with Absurd Questions. Or, more accurately, Joseph changes Jared's world view forever by introducing him to the Mandela Effect theory. Jared has his own Absurd Question to add to this specific segment, but by the time the guys get to it, they aren't so sure about Sinbad being in a genie-movie at all.

Don't you remember Sinbad in a genie-movie?

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and Better Than Ezra. That's right, band from the 1990s. This podcast thinks it is better than you. So, uh, what you going to do about it?

Nothing! That's what we thought.

On this edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, we are just a wee-bit NBA heavy. Not that should put sadness in your hearts. Not only because basketball is what the hosts are best at discussing, but let's be honest about the obvious... if you're listening to this, you likely have no heart, soul or any sort of emotional barometer.

The guys take a look back at the first half of the NBA season. Some fictitious awards are given out, and fun is had by all but Jared.

Then it is NBA All-Star Weekend preview. What are the guys excited to see? Who will win what contest? So much NBA info. So little time.

This Friday edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast ends as all great podcast should; With a lazily put together segment essentially created by crowd sourcing!

We kid. It's not THAT lazily put together. But it is our fan-favorite segment, Ask Me Anything. Oddly, this segment is probably mislabeled, as there are two people, and the word "me" makes a person think of a singular season, but there is two hosts.

Alas, the problems we run into here at the glorious Relatively Speaking Podcast.

Give us a listen, tell your friends about us and never eat a cookie you found at the floor of a Wal-Mart.

Here is to hoping you had a great weekend because the Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you regret everything you failed to accomplish.

All jokes aside (maybe), it was a pretty terrific sports weekend.

This episode of the Relatively Speaking Podcast begins with Kevin Durant's return to Oklahoma City.

While the crowd was busy being scorned lovers and chanting cupcake for some reason, Durant and the Warriors simply destroyed the Thunder. Jared and Joseph discuss why it is rather comical that OKC fans were that heated for one of their former players returning to play.

Also of note, Russell Westbrook narratives have been flipped 180 degrees. Both Jared and Joseph are cool with it, but do find great irony in the idea that we are cool with Russ screaming smacktalk when down 18 points now, but in 2014 he would have been murdered for it.

Portland and Denver trades some pieces this weekend. Twitter nearly lost its mind over it. Our heroic hosts, on the other hand, say this trade -- in the grand scheme of things -- means about as much as that time a person awkwardly gazed at you from across the room in the break room.

The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee did its first ever early-look at the top-16 seeds. Neither host is angered about this. Joseph, however, does shoehorn in a Duke hot-take as well as some love for Stony Brook coach Jeff Boals.

Absurd Questions is fun this week. Jared's question involves the Grammy's... in which neither of the hosts actually watched. Joseph's had to do with a member of the human species being a basketball program or something. Likely something, but whatever with the semantics.
