Description

Four years ago, we released a bummer of an episode after the Cheeto in Chief aka Donald Drumpf won the 2016 election. Today, the mood is decidedly cheerier after America finally dumped Trump. We talk about the season starting on December 22, free agency, Wizards, Sixers, Cavs, and what would happen if the election was decided by a game of 21.

Listen and love us. by Air Buds
52 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.

58 min listen

41 min listen

Enjoy! by Air Buds
50 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
Air Buds: Week Boo! (Two): Happy BALLoween, basketball FANGS! The Buds are back to talk about week 2 in the NBA, but the only thing Halloween themed about it is this description you're reading right here. Topics discussed include Draymond Green and Bradley Beal's weird lil' scuffle, the Orlando Magic being the best team in the league, and Jamel going to a Lakers game. Listen, IF YOU DARE!!! by Air Buds
39 min listen
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
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. They also talk all the other nonsense you like them to talk. Tune in next week for part 2! by Air Buds
28 min listen
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
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

The Gettable Voter with Jon Favreau: Democrats can beat Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Another four years of a Trump White House is not a foregone conclusion. With nine months to go before the general election, there’s a tremendous amount of fear and uncertainty hanging over many of us about the future of the American republic. Amidst this fear, Democratic voters are deciding which candidate is best suited to run against the President. But a lot of the fights over who that person could be are actually fights over how to build a coalition of voters big enough to beat Donald Trump in the electoral college. In envisioning how to build that coalition, you have to look at the margins. If the solid-blue, never-Trump contingency make up the reliable core of the voting bloc, then the folks on the margins are key to solving the puzzle of 2020.
