Relatively Speaking Podcast

It is Monday. That is a boo-type of situation. It is also the return of the Relatively Speaking Podcast. That will likely make you feel the opposite emotions that usually come with the Monday blues, as it is the greatest podcast in the history of the world. Seriously. You can ask anybody about the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and they will all say the same: "The Relatively Speaking Podcast is the greatest podcast in the history of mankind."

On this edition of the podcast, the guys start the show by discussing two NFL teams who apparently need more respect. For Jared, it is the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers. For Joseph, he thinks football is super violent.

The Houston Texans finally benched their big offseason signing who was apparently a quarterback. What a (Tom) Savage move, in the Relatively Speaking Podcast's opinion.

Kentucky Wildcats guard Malik Monk went bonkers against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Also, Tacko Fall is more than just a 7-6 humanoid... Joseph thinks he's on the verge of playing his way into NBA Mock Draft experts' first-round.

Bad Tweets is as historically bad as ever. It is how the segment works, to be honest.

As for Absurd Questions, it is once again a situation where you will just have to listen to understand the veracity of absurdness that comes with this segment.

You can, if you dare, follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops.

If you want to do a similar thing with the other, less articulate host, you can @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back to prevent the doom that awaits this weekend from ever actually happening to you. Also, it is here to help you embrace the warmth that is the love a person can feel if s/he simply opens their hearts to stuff. Yeah, man... stuff.

Sadly, the usually upbeat podcast begins by honoring Craig Sager, who unfortunately passed away on Thursday. Jared and Joseph share some fond memories and attempt to put it in perspective.

That Don't Look Good returns this week. What doesn't look good? Well, it depends on who you ask, as this isn't an agreed upon segment this week. First one is about LeBron James resting and the backlash the ensued. The second? The Atlanta Braves general manager's Twitter advice!

Week 15 picks also happened. Joseph is leading the season in picking the correct games. He is 41-29 while Uncle Jared is 38-22.

A fun Ask Me Anything segment closes this episode. Five questions were asked, and all five were answered.

"@varoonbose Could a team made up of only Kentucky players (in the NBA) win the title? Who starts? Bench? Who doesn’t make the team? Coach?"

"@Knickfan_4life will phil sign another deal to stay with the Knicks?"

"@brownasthenight starting 5 of guys on decent teams who destroy their team when on the floor but still get too many minutes? eg Scola last year"

"@givenupomlife why are avocados such trash and people pretend it doesn't ruin food"

"@Smarqs What is a thing (or person) that people routinely mock that really isn't that bad."

See? That's five!

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with the heart of a lion and the desire to please of a person who really likes to please. In what is widely accepted as the greatest podcast in the history of podcasts, allow the Relatively Speaking Podcast to wash over you like a warm shower.

There are topics discussed today, for what it is worth.

What did the outcome of Dallas-New York mean, if anything?

What is wrong with the Seattle Seahawks?

Are the Green Bay Packers the packiest Packers in the history of the franchise?

Bad Tweets got a small retool for this week, as it is Good Tweets. It is hard to explain, so you'll simply have to listen.

Then, for reasons only known to Jared and Joseph, the hosts decide to look at the 2014 and 2015 NBA Drafts and call players either "busts" or "no busts" without any nuance proper context allowed. While not their finest moment, it is their first time fully embracing #NBATwitter.

Absurd Questions: What actors are ugly? That's what Jared wants to know. As for Joseph, he speaks a ton of words about the Fast and Furious movie franchise because life is too great.

And that is pretty much the show in a nutshell. It might not seem like a ton, but it is easily the greatest podcast in the history of the greatest podcast ever made. So, yeah... there's that!

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

A similar thing can be applied to the other host @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast in all its glory, which means you get to enter the weekend with a solid case of the giggles.

The New York Knicks are off to a rather surprisingly solid start. However, one Mr. Phil Jackson keeps opening up his mouth-hole to discuss things with the media he probably shouldn't. His latest being the president of basketball operations calling Carmelo Anthony a player who holds on to the ball too much... which is odd when you consider there are two other people on his team who hold the ball longer than him.

Do the Los Angeles Clippers stink? No!

Lazily crowd sourced segment Ask Me Anything is back (with fake Seal, of course) this week.

"Do you think Chris Paul ever wins a championship in such a crowded competitive conference?"

"At what point do the Clippers consider getting something for CP3 and BG before they leave in seven months?"

"Am I allowed to believe the NBA is fixed to get big market teams against each other in 6/7 game series?"

The guys answer those questions in earnest.

We'd like to say that the show ended with Jared and Joseph's Week 14 NFL picks, but that would only be a half-truth.

After discussing about Joseph's dominance over Jared in the standings, the greatest NFL game-picker this side of Al Pacino in Two For The Money asks Jared a very random, very absurd, very unsettling question.

What was the question? Listen if you want to find out! I mean, you can just fast-forward toward the end if you're that impatient.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you come down from what was surely a fire emoji weekend filled with College Football Playoff hot-takes, trips to the movie theater, and a slew of chicken wings.

Apparently, we guess, the National Football League's biggest talking point being had after Sunday is Cam Newton failing to wear a tie, which resulted in a one-series benching.

While most of America will turn this into a discussion regarding responsibility or if the Carolina Panthers overreacted, Joseph is concerned because turtlenecks are so 2001.

The Pittsburgh Steelers looked awesome. Jared discussed their new big-three.

Why is Alex Smith the Andrew Bogut of the NFL?

The Detroit Lions are good... we think.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially a thing!

Bad Tweets returns this week. What do you get when you combine poorly chosen words with a hyperbolic statement? A spot on this segment. Also, we've had enough of Draymon Green's flailing legs.

To end what turned out to be the best podcast in the history of podcasts (seriously, you can ask anybody), Absurd Questions closes the show with these two gems:

What is your favorite holiday movie and what would you change about it?

If you can write the autobiography of any living person, who would it be and why?

Don't worry loyal podcast listeners, the answers to those questions will not disappoint you.
