Jensen Karp: In the inaugural episode of Air Buds, the guys discuss Metta World Peace's haunted sexual encounters, Future vs. Scottie Pippen, Ray Allen's retirement, and what they're excited to watch in this young NBA season. Then the guys welcome guest Jensen Karp, all around comedy dude and author of Kanye West Owes Me $300, to discuss his lifelong Clippers fandom and test his extensive knowledge of basketball shoes. by Air Buds
47 min listen
Epiosde 22: Jake Densen: The Air Buds welcome Hollywood big shot/gambling expert Jake Densen to the show to talk the first round of the playoffs. It's a fun one! by Air Buds
51 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
64 min listen
Jak Knight: In a somber post-election episode, the guys discuss the Sixers first win of the season, why the NFL is garbage, and whether or not we should even be doing this podcast anymore. Then the guys welcome comedian Jak Knight (Comedy Central, NBA 2k17) to discuss whether or not athletes will visit the White House anymore, his burning hatred for Kevin Durant, and just what a "cuck" is exactly. by Air Buds
46 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
63 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
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
45 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
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
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
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
Simon Gibson: In episode six, the Air Buds discuss whether Klay Thompson is an alpha dog or a boring dude, whether kids today have enough of a "fuck you" attitude, and how LeBron is the Michale Corleone of the league. Then the guys get high with comedian Simon Gibson and talk about the Trail Blazers, hand size, and how BitTorrent is stingy with music rights. by Air Buds
58 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
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
Chinedu Unaka returns: The Airbuds preview the NBA Finals with second time co-host Chinedu Unaka. Along with Jamel and Peter, the guys drive deep into the finals, lament about Kentucky Basketball greatness, and search for anything positive to say about the Lakers. by Air Buds
59 min listen
Air Buds: Adam Friedland: The Buds are back and we are NOT playing around! We talk about general NBA gossip, Doc Rivers getting stripped of his powers, Kyrie trade rumors, and NBA Live versus NBA 2k. We also fix the NFL. Then we welcome comedian Adam Friedland (Cum Town podcast, etc.) to have a wide-ranging conversation that covers a lot of basketball topics and beyond. This is probably our longest and most entertaining pod, but also the audio peaks a lot. Sorry. We'll fix it next time! by Air Buds
83 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
Mike Mulloy: In episode seven, the Air Buds take a firm stance against having sex with children, honor Craig Sager, and talk about the Wizards. Then they welcome comedian and all-time great Twitter follow Mike Mulloy to chat about Marcus Smart, the Boston Celtics and combination fast food restaurants. by Air Buds
66 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
80 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
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
Hello! or Hell No! Pt. 2: The Air Buds are without Jamel again, and Peter and Mike do another round of our patented Hello! or Hell No! We talk about Draymond Green punching James Harden's injured wrist, the Sixers' unheralded improvement, and then go very deep on how depressing the Clippers are. Follow us on social media, @airbudspod across all platforms. We love you. by Air Buds
38 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. Then they take listener questions about which NBA mascots they'd date, which players would make the best drag queens, and who would win in a bar fight: Charles Barkley or Draymond Green. Enjoy! by Air Buds
50 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: We Hate Mondays: It's Monday morning, and the Buds are crammin' in a pod sesh, because they are committed to giving you what you want: sleepy basketball conversation. We talk about Kyrie's broken face, LeBron kicking Phil Jackson when he's down for old time's sake, and surprises/disappointments one month into the NBA season. Stay tuned until the end when we find out in real time that Donald Trump has inserted himself into the LiAngelo Ball situation. As always, please rate and review us on iTunes. Give us 5 stars and we'll shout you out on the pod. Give us anything less, and we'll talk shit about you on the pod. by Air Buds
34 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
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
#CarJamDunks2017 with Nikki Jagerman: The Buds welcome friend of the show and podcast pro Nikki Jagerman to discuss Kendrick Lamar rapping about Russell Westbrook, appropriate workplace relationships with Blake Griffin, and whether or not Lola Bunny was flirty. Then, Nikki issues a challenge to our listeners: if you film yourself slam dunking a basketball through the sun roof of a car and tweet the video to us with the hashtag #CarJamDunks2017, then we'll do your laundry! by Air Buds
55 min listen
Playoff Preview: The NBA Playoffs are here, little babies! Jamel is stressed as hell about it, Peter is acting like he's actually on the Cavs, and Mike is just excited to watch post-season ball. The Buds break down the first round matchups, come up with a new segment about Mike's insane crushes, and discuss how messed up it is that airlines can just murder their passengers now. Sorry the episode is late! by Air Buds
36 min listen
Air Buds: Basketball is Back!: Now that the All-Star break is over, basketball is back and so are the Buds! Jamel, Peter, and Mike talk about their experience going to All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, Kawhi Leonard's mysterious feud with the Spurs, and then beg y'all to email them stuff, any stuff. It's a fun one! 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
