“If you hate metaphysical discussions about basketball, sociological arguments about winning bias and endless reading aloud of numbers and stats… You just might still enjoy Ben and Cody rattling on about the NBA!
I have very much enjoyed listening to you guys for the past few years, and hope you...”Read full review »

“Started listening in 2021 now that’s it’s the off-season and the episodes are slowing down I’ve begun catching up from the first episode back in 2018.
First off can’t believe this started off as a solo-pod, that’s just crazy.

While I do appreciate Ben trying to bring someone in, I think he could do much better. (And I’m the biggest Bucks fan alive). Personal opinion, but as a grammar teacher...”Read full review »
