    That Glib Rascal

    Send us a text The boys are back to cover another week of .500-style ball. The Kings looked like absolute doodoo this week until, suddenly, they didn't. Also inside: Ty's soft exit from Twitter; a new affinity for the Cavs is discovered; Bill Kennedy slay kween; RIP Oliver Miller

    Midwestern Approach

    Send us a text With two weeks to cover, the boys are back to run down a supersized slate of games. There was the good, like a solid road win in Houston, and the very bad, like the home drubbing against the Knicks which both P&BP hosts (unfortunately) attended. Also covered: Fox's return, the accompanying hit pieces, and Dunc's scorching hot nativist defense against the fake news media; Anjali; Deftones homecoming; G-Man wishes a happy birthday to his lady wife, Miss Marlene

    Dastardly Deeds

    Send us a text The boys fight through some slightly weird audio to bring you a comprehensive roundup of the mostly lame All-Star weekend, the Kings' uneven return to action, and a very concerning anecdote about Shaq. To close things out, they welcome back R.J. Pomeroy for another trip to the RAGE CAGE!!! Check out Ty’s Kings Herald piece here: https://kingsherald.com/articles/deaaron-fox-is-a-land-of-contrasts/

    Lawrence of LaRavia

    Send us a text Wild times in Kings-land. In a busy conclusion to the trade deadline, Monte & Co. managed to shuffle off some picks and spare parts to shore up the bench, and the boys are here to fawn over instant smash hits Jonas Valanciunas and Jake LaRavia. They also weigh in on more De'Aaron Fox drama, LaVine's fit, DeRozan's game-winner, Hubie Brown, Davion, and much more.

    Becoming Evil

    Send us a text After a momentous weekend of player movement, the boys unpack the departure of De'Aaron Fox and what it means for the team now and moving forward. They evaluate the front office and its role in the move, look ahead to Zach LaVine's fit, and, of course, break down the absolutely earth-shattering Luka trade that (rightfully) stole all the headlines.

    Parameters of Reality

    Send us a text In what amounts to an emergency episode, the boys unpack Day 1 of The De'Aaron Fox Trade Situation Or Whatever It Is. And, finally, the show introduces its first-ever segment: The Rage Cage, a little ritualistic purging of bile with childhood pal R.J. Pomeroy.

    The Great Leap Forward

    A Lunar Component

    Send us a text The boys are back and really relying on the Kings to drown out the rest of 2025 so far. Ty is finally radicalized against the Celtics, pitches for reclamation project trades are heard, Doug brings cosmic harmony to the team, and much more.
