Nickname

Since there's been a lot of talk about nicknames recently, I stumbled across Bill Cartwright's on basketball reference, and he's got a pretty cool collection: Mr. Bill, Teach, Dollar Bill, Medical Bill, Bill Idle, and Invisi-Bill. They don't make them like they used to...

Really love the pod, I'm glad i re-discovered you guys. I used to watch the Starters every weekday afternoon after high school. Nowadays I'm glad I can sneak an airpod in at work to listen to you guys live every morning during the weekday.

Survivor Dunks

I first started listening to No Buffs and thought wow these guys are hilarious there’s no way they could be any better, but I listened to an episode of No Dunks and heard all of you with Tas Melas and said I was wrong because now you’re my number 1 place for basketball content.

Absolute best

this podcast is more of a comfort than basketball information. At this point, I’ve listened to it almost every day for like 5 years, and I’m starting to wonder who I am if I DONT listen… and ngl, I have decided in the last 6 months or so to skip some here or there, and sometimes I feel pretty good mentally when I take a break for an episode or two... what does that say about the show? Anything? Or does it say more about me? Am I fatigued? Am I sick? Or do I just need to hit my (PEN) HARDAWAY and mellow out?
