Roundball Rock episodes

  • Episode 44: “I think I could take Win Butler at one-on-one”
    Writer-director Daniel Ralston joins Joey and Sean for an episode that puts the ROCK in Roundball Rock. We talk about Daniel's Sixers fandom, the poetry of William Joel, overrated players, Orlando's child GM, infuriating playoff commercials, the glory of Allen iverson, the un-clutchness of Paul George, new Twin Towers, and the hardboiled newsroom that is the Players Tribune. Plus a thrilling new game called "Rock And Roll Five-On-Five," a dream date with Joel Embiid, and the Warriors take on one of their toughest opponents yet: The Polyphonic Spree.

  • Episode 32: “Acquiring Roy Hibbert is like eating 7-11 food.”

    Julien Rodriguez (@Juicemanji) joins the show for a trade deadline spectacular! We analyze all the deals and the Lakers front office shakeup, play Monopoly with Danny Ainge, and roast Vlade Divac like he's a Serbian pepper sauce. Dave bets big on Toronto, Sean investigates other NBA conspiracies, and Joey pitches a crazy Adam Silver time-travel Woke-Off scenario. Also the Warriors play the 2017 Brooklyn Nets pick and we find a new job for Charles Oakley: Collecting on loan debts as The Collecting Tree.

  • Episode 42: “Suge Knight is the Javaris Crittenton of hip-hop”

    Comedian Billy Wayne Davis (@BillyWayneDavis) joins Sean and Joey for a football-heavy episode of Roundball Rock. We talk about the playoffs, concussions, the shadiness of college basketball coaches, and Billy Wayne delivers a passionate defense of both college football and Rudy's father. Featuring hot takes like "The TNT Bulls are like the Harlem Globetrotters," "James Dolan is the owner from Major League," and "Phil Jackson is like a terrible LA landlord," and a handy story about Bill Russell. Plus Death Row Records, Native American hypnotists, the Reggie Miller plane banner, Rumpelstiltskin, new civic slogans for Memphis, and "the Bo Jackson of arson."

  • Episode 41: "Wizards In Three!"

    Dave, Sean & Joey preview the Eastern Conference Playoffs, and Joey delivers some of the scorchingest takes in Roundball history, including a prescient "Bulls in six" prediction. We debate the postseason awards and invent some of our own, including Joel Embiid as both the Comeback and Goneaway Player of the Year. We also review our terrible over/under picks, struggle with Zipsermania, and learn that Plumlees = Poison, while the Warriors face their archenemy: the TNT broadcast team. Shouts to the Turner family!

  • Episode 40: "Was He With A Weed-Smoking Baby?"

    Sean & Joey are joined by comedian Chris Garcia (@_chrisgarcia) to talk about one-day contracts, Pearl Jam's induction into the Shorts Hall of Fame, Steph Curry's terrible new shoes, white slavery in 80's sitcoms, college jobs for classic Lakers, and how fucked up it is that Mexican-American superstar Tony Romo named his son Rivers. Also the Warriors face the Dominic Toretto gang and there's a new film about Cliff Paul finding his birth parents called "State Farm Lion."

  • Episode 39: "The Five Juwan Howards You Meet In Heaven"
    Dave is in Utah, Sean is in SF, and Joey is in LA, but the podcast must go on! We choose who teams should send to the lottery draw, talk unwritten NBA rules, speculate about Orlando's dry-erase board foibles, and make our MVP picks. Also the Basketball Hall of Fame screws up again, Lance Stephenson comes home to Club Rio, the Warriors battle Neil Gorsuch and the Senate, and we announce our slate of new shows on the Roundball Rocketeerist podcast network.

  • Episode 38: "Me And Arn Tellem Have Beef"

    Dave, Sean & Joey are joined by Turner family cousin C.J. Toledano of Bleacher Report. C.J. talks about making videos for the Pistons, plays "Shitty Bull or Bullshit?" and we all visit Kobe Bryant's Musecage. We also assign draft prospects their worst possible home, endorse Sam Hinkie for the team president job in Sacramento, and everyone taps the brakes on the Devin Booker bandwagon. Also, the Warriors battle "True Romance," but really, this is all about Lil Mamba and the Musecage.

  • Episode 37: "Phil Jackson Got Cucked By Jay Mohr"

    It's a full-squad Skype pod as Dave, Sean & Joey discuss the resurgence in NBA fighting, James Harden's attempt to join The Hoopers, San Antonio women, the Tinderization of the NBA, and Jay Mohr's new relationship with Jeanie Buss. Plus we take a deep dive into the Dirkwurst, Matt Barnes battles future Matt Barnes, Kristaps Porzingis channels Jonathan Lipnicki, and we explain why "Juwanna Mann" led to Michael Jordan drafting Jared Jeffries.

  • Bonus: "The NCAA Tournament is a Werner Herzog Nightmare"
    It's a special bonus Roundball as Sean goes solo to talk to SF comedian - and mascot expert - Ben Kolina (@BenKolina). Ben breaks down the remaining matchups and explains why the Miami Hurricanes are the most devastating possible mascot. We also talk InfoWars, industrialization, Roger Stone, and the awkwardness of Baylor University playing a team called the Gamecocks. Who's cutting down the nets this year? Not the working class!
