Jamel and Mike talk about all-star selections, flopping controversies, and where Carmelo should be traded to.

Garrick Bernard: Air Buds is back for a 25th installment! We talk about these boring ass playoffs and get WAY off topic, then predict a Cavs sweep way too early. (It's our recording schedule, to be honest.) Then we welcome our guest Garrick Bernard (tremendous comic, writer, and internet personality) to talk about male rompers, Lonzo Ball, and then we debate whether Kobe or LeBron is better for like 20 minutes. Frankly, this is a very good episode. by Air Buds
67 min listen
Ryan Conner returns: It's been a long time since we left you without a podcast to step to, but the Air Buds are back to talk about the NBA Draft with returning champ/special co-host Ryan Conner! We talk about the Bulls' terrible decision to trade Jimmy Butler, do some (shitty) Draft analysis, and speculate wildly on the upcoming free agency season. Also, this episode takes place in an alternate reality where the Cavs won the 2017 NBA Finals. by Air Buds
54 min listen
Jason Stewart: In Air Buds episode 12, we talk about the LeBron/Barkley beef and Draymond Green's role in in it. Then we welcome surprise guest Jason Stewart. We match Jason to his ideal team and we discuss the most thicc players. It's a fun ass episode. by Air Buds

Hello! or Hell No!: Air Buds 16 is here, and it's a little tiny cute short guy! Scheduling snafus prevented the trio from being together, but Peter and Mike play a 20-minute round of "Hello! or Hell No!" in which they go over some NBA stories and decide whether they care about them. Peter tries to talk Mike off a ledge about Joel Embiid, they discuss whether they should start worrying about the Cavs, and the guys try to lure Lonzo Ball away from his dad with pizza and edibles. Enjoy! by Air Buds
22 min listen
Devan Costa: In episode four, Jamel and Mike talk about Warriors injuries, the Sixers' silver lining, and whether some NBA teams are CASH OR TRASH™. Then they welcome Los Angeles comedy phenom Devan Costa to talk about his Kobe Bryant superfandom, his top-five Lakers of all-time, and the perils of being a young comic in LA. The conversation gets problematic, but we embrace it. Peter is out of town, and we miss him. RIP Peter. by Air Buds

62 min listen
Andy Lawton: The Air Buds are back with the brand new flavor in your ear. This week, we welcome bona fide Tinder daddy Andy Lawton to the pod! (He works at Tinder.) We talk all about the playoffs, James Harden's incredible no-show, Andy's favorite NBA-themed rap lines, and in a shocking twist, Mike seems to go harder for LeBron than Peter. Then we go down a long and winding road with Andy about working at Tinder, fighting misogyny on dating apps, and nightmare dating stories. This is a Fun episode, guys. by Air Buds
49 min listen
All-Star Weekend and Listener Questions: The Air Buds are back after an unintentional week off, and they talk all about the NBA's All-Star weekend and the Boogie Cousins trade shocker.

Enjoy! by Air Buds
50 min listen
Caitlin Kimball: It's Air Buds episode 11! The Buds discuss how Paul George is the Susan Lucci of the NBA, Joel Embiid's All-Star snub, the absolute dumpster fires that are the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks, and the TNT crew educating Ernie Johnson about skeezers.

72 min listen
Air Buds: Week 1 is Done!: The Buds got together early Monday morning to unpack the week that was in the NBA. Topics include: how much worse can the Phoenix Suns get? Is Steph Curry the rich preppy bully in the snobs-versus-slobs 80's comedy that is the NBA? Should Kyrie have told that Philly fan to suck his dick? And more! They're just happy to have basketball back. Please tell all your friends to listen to our podcast, rate it, and review it on iTunes. If it's a good review, we'll shout you out on the pod! Love you! by Air Buds
36 min listen
Chinedu Unaka: Air Buds 21 is here and the hilarious comedian Chinedu Unaka is filling in as the third Bud while Peter is out with Coachella-itis. We talk about the first round of the playoffs (kind of), debate the most ugly/handsome players in the league, and Chinedu makes an absolutely ludicrous case for why Luke Walton should win Coach of the Year. Then we attempt an Air Buds first and watch the last minute of the Cavs/Pacers game 4 live on the air, but it just ends up causing technical difficulties. But we rebound nicely! by Air Buds
44 min listen
David Gborie: The Air Buds are back for 2017, and we talk about the Grizzlies upsetting the Warriors, Kyle Korver, and the Sixers being fun. Then they welcome comedian David Gborie to talk about the Denver Nuggets and PCP. Once again, we have technical difficulties and we lost some sweet audio about the all-time best sex havers in NBA history. Sorry! by Air Buds

38 min listen
Trade Deadline: In episode 14 of Air Buds, we discuss every single trade that happened around the trade deadline. Then we break down the exceedingly strange Shaq/JaVale McGee beef that seems to be happening for some reason. Is Shaq the black Milo? Maybe! It's a guest-less episode, but it's a good one! by Air Buds
58 min listen
Sean Keane: BUDSer late than never?! The Air Buds are a little late again this week, but we've got a doozy of an episode for ya. Peter is on the IR this week, so we have special guest host Sean Keane filling in! Sean is a fantastic comedian, a Warriors fan, a fellow NBA podcaster, and a lovely gentleman. We chat about the Game 2 of the Finals, LeBron and Kevin Durant's buried rap song, and our predictions for how the rest of the Finals are gonna play out. We barely edited it because we wanted to get it out to the people ASAP. Happy Basketball! by Air Buds
53 min listen
Air Buds: The Boys Are Back in Town: The Buds are back together and they're tackling all the biggest off-season issues. Questions asked and answered: did Kyrie Irving vote for Donald Trump? Is it possible to care about Carmelo Anthony trade rumors anymore? Does John Wall's massive contract extension make the Wizards a contender? Plus, the guys solve the NBA expansion issue and talk about Candace Parker and the WNBA. It's a good one! by Air Buds
49 min listen

46 min listen
Air Buds: Season Preview pt. 1: It's part one of the Air Buds half-assed season preview! As the Buds are a trio of east coast baby boys, they spend today's episode mostly talking about the eastern conference and why they're excited to root for the Cavs, Wizards, and Sixers this season respectively.

28 min listen
Matt Hobby: The Air Buds are back to talk some ball with actor/comedian Mat Hobby! We get deep into the second round of the playoffs, as boring as they are, despite being a day behind due to our recording schedule. All of our predictions prove true!! So far. Shit is real.

The Last Dance Episodes 7-8 Podcast: Episodes 7-8 had some emotional moments with MJ's dad passing away and Jordan's emotions in the following years. Jordan's jump to AA baseball was wild and he actually wasn't bad despite all the time off. Scott Burrell has also been a fun part of the series and Jordan was being tough on his teammates throughout the series. Scottie Pippen has gone through some tough moments in this series, and sitting out on the last play was certainly a mistake he'd like to take back. There was also some Space Jam, shoe and music talk, and a LaBradford Smith story to pump up MJ. We'll go on some tangents on some of the others mid-90s teams like the Nets, Magic, Hornets, Sonics and others, too. by Rotoworld Basketball Show – Fantasy Basketball
