Yerrrr! This week we got a special conversation for you all. Jawon and Jeffrey talk with recently hired ESPN producer and former Washington Mystics basketball writer, Jasmine Brown.

They talked to Jasmine about her sports journalism come up, her most starstruck moment. They managed to get her to open up about Maryland hoops legend, Kevin Durant, and the DMV culture in general.

Later they discussed the NBA Finals. Is this series looking like the Detroit Pistons vs LA Lakers in 2004? Is Drake our generations Spike Lee?

Lastly, Jeffrey and Jawon talked to Jasmine about the start of the WNBA season and the importance of increasing coverage of woman sports. Tune in!

TORONTO THIS IS FOR YOU!!!! ..... Yerrr!! The Come-Up is back. This week, Jawon & Jeffrey (mainly Jeff) apologize for being hasty. Jeff: "I really thought the Bucks had it in the bag."

After issuing their apologies, they dig into Giannis' struggles in the Eastern Conference Finals, why renting Kawhi for a year was worth it. Lastly, they gave the REAL preview of the NBA Finals...no hastiness this time around.

Tune in!

Yerrrr! Jawon and Jeffrey are back (more like Jawon is finally back from the DR). This East Side duo took no time to debrief their earlier playoff predictions and how it all turned out.

Make no mistake about it, the Bucks are most likely going to close things out against the Bucks, so Jawon and Jeffrey projected how things could turn out when the inevitable happens. (Sorry Raptors!)

Yerrrrr! The Come-up is back. This week, Jawon and Jeffrey discuss the most interesting second round in NBA history. Jawon wonders if the Rockets will ever stop crying over fouls, Jeffrey ponders if the NBA will ever change its officiating rules.

Later, they discuss the Celtics emergence and how Jimmy Butler's performance (or lack thereof) versus Kawhi Leonard could impact his paycheck this offseason.

Dear Maintainin' family,

Today marks my final episode as the host of Maintainin'. I talked to my colleague and kickass producer, Jeyca Maldonado-Medina, about my Maintainin’ journey and why I’ve decided to step down as the host of the podcast.

Thank you to the listeners that have shown me nothing but love and support. Thank you to all the great guests that willingly joined me in vulnerable conversations. You've all made me a better interviewer, but you've made me an an even better person.

TRUST ME, this isn't the end. In the spirit of Nipsey Hussle, the Marathon continues.

Much love,

Jeff

Yerrrr! This week on The Come-Up, Jawon and Jeffrey discuss their anticipation for round 2 of the playoffs and contemplate fun hypotheticals.

Will Giannis and the Bucks prove too much for the surging Celtics? Are the Raptors deep enough for the Sixers. Can the Rockets avenge last years' Western Conference Finals lost to the Warriors? Will Dame and company keep blazing through their competition (winners of Spurs/Nuggets).

This week on Maintainin’, I’m talking to co-worker and rival, Denzel Belin...Well, we’re rivals cause he went to Olaf and I went to Carleton (we get into it at the beginning of the episodes). Anyhow, Denzil is not only the boss newsroom coordinator for MPR News, he’s also a very talented improvisor.

I talked to Denzil about being young, black, queer, recent grad from a mid-sized school in Northfield, and how he went from a theater kid to improv aficionado. Somewhere along the lines we touched upon the whole Jussie Smollett debacle.

This episode was recorded in February so please note that some references are little behind the times.

With Zach Lavine balling out recently, Jeffrey and Jawon reevaluate the Lavine trade and if the Timberwolves made the right choice.

Did Minnesota make the right move, trading Lavine, Markannen and Dunn for Butler and Justin Patton? Would they have been better served moving Wiggins instead?

Later, they discuss the crumbling Lakers and the first-year failure of LABron and the Golden State Warriors who have lost 4 of their last 10 games, including some several humiliating losses. Is it still same old, same old in the Bay?

Yerrr!!! The Come-Up is back with another one. Jawon and Jeffrey kick off the pod with a Wolves' update: KAT NEEDS HELP!! Someone get Glen Taylor on the phone.

Later, they discuss the softness of the league and the most influential NBA players of all time. Steph Curry has changed the game with his other-worldly sniping abilities, while Dirk changed the big man game, and MJ with the finesse and prowess. What about players like KG and LeBron? Tune in!

Yerrrr! The Come-Up is back with another one. This week, Jawon and Jeffrey discuss Zion Williamson's injury and its impact on his lottery project and shoe deal. Jawon continues his attempt to find Jeffrey a new favorite player (Paul George?).

Later, they discuss media and player beef, and why Dennis Rodman's disrespect towards Jeffrey's homeland, Cameroon.
