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. Then they welcome beloved actress and comedian Caitlin Kimball (Bad Teacher, You're the Worst, American Town Hall) to talk Dwight Howard's shoulders, the best basketball movies, and then Caitlin takes over the pod to interview the Buds about vital ball questions. by Air Buds
72 min listen
Ethan Sandler: Air Buds episode 15 is here, but Jamel isn't. But no worries! Writer/producer/actor/OKC fan Ethan Sandler valiantly fills in as the third Air Bud! We talk to Ethan about how he once asked the Seattle Supersonics' mascot Wheedle if he had a penis, Amare Stoudemire's problems with hypothetical gay teammates, the NBA's recent rash of injuries, and then we debate whether five LeBrons could beat any other starting five we could think of. It's a free-wheeling fun one, y'all! by Air Buds

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
64 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
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. Listen and love us. by Air Buds
52 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
Air Buds: Who's Gonna Take Carmelo?: Round Two of the NBA Playoffs have officially started, and the Buds talk about everything. Everything? YES, EVERYTHING. How many games will the Sixers take to beat the Celtics? Are the Cavs desperately scrambling to save their marriage with LeBron? Is this the end of the excellent in-arena entertainment of the Memphis Grizzlies? We answer EVERYTHING. As always, please subscribe to us on iTunes, give us a rating and review, and tell all your friends to listen to the REAL Air Buds! Give us a 5-star review and we'll shout you out on the pod! by Air Buds
41 min listen
Greg Edwards: In episode three, the Air Buds discuss Kevin Durant versus Drake, their plan to take over a WNBA game, and why the Clippers should change their season motto to "NO ICE CREAM!" Then the guys welcome the hilarious Greg Edwards (Thug Notes, Blame Social Media) to talk about the Detroit Pistons, Bill Simmons, and who has the biggest dick in the NBA. by Air Buds
50 min listen
Lisa Curry: In episode five, the Air Buds discuss Draymond Green's addiction to kicking people, Al Horford's sister, and whether the Minnesota Timberwolves are actually good or not. Then they welcome comedian Lisa Curry to talk about short shorts, actually playing basketball, and just how thirsty Kim Jong-un is. There are technical difficulties, and we apologize. We love you. by Air Buds
43 min listen
Peter's Dad: Air Buds 17 is here! The Buds welcome back Jamel from injury reserve as they go on to speculate on rumors about the Warriors' problems, discuss how the Rivers family is all-around screwing the Clippers, and then do their first annual Non-Playoff Preview that mostly veers off into in-arena entertainment critiques (The Memphis Grizzlies are the best in that regard, BTW). Then the Buds welcome Peter's dad, Barry Moses, to talk about how the Clippers and Lakers should play in The Forum, the best players-turned-executives, and Mike tries to embarrass Peter a little bit. Shout out to Peter's mom! by Air Buds
56 min listen
Casey Feigh: In Air Buds Episode 9, we talk about LeBron James having issues with referees, the All-NBA Anime team, and John Wall getting in fights and throwing Bloods. Then the Air Buds welcome actor and writer Casey Feigh to talk about the Timberwolves, being in every commercial ever, and how his misguided mother thought he should play on the Australian Olympic Team. Shout out to Flashback on Melrose for the support! by Air Buds
62 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
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

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
62 min listen
Ryan Conner: The Air Buds are a man down for this episode, but they pulled through strong! Jamel and Mike talk about all-star selections, flopping controversies, and where Carmelo should be traded to. Then they welcome guest Ryan Conner (Last Comic Standing) and get super technical about the Bulls, apocryphal Michael Jordan stories, and playing street ball. It's a fun one! by Air Buds

51 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
