at Charlotte 51 Toronto 33, I turned off the game and unfollowed the show…but I’m glad I had to walk the dog and thought “it finished close, let’s see what Will said.” Really hard to watch this team now, but I’ll still dip into the pod.

Nate Rumble

Blake rambles way too long. Kills the flow of the show and makes me tune out. Alex leaving left a hole with the humor and topics that make the show fun. Raptors aren’t a good team (and we know that, nobody’s fault) so the hosts should go around the NBA more.
