Great podcast

I’ve been following your podcasts since 2020 and I love your podcasts. I think it’s awesome how honest you are and share your emotions through your words well. The sarcastic Harrison, raj, and Aaron are all have different takes and I think it’s great getting different perspectives. Keep it going

Hi Anthony,

I am glad that your passion has turned into a career that you are able to support your family.

I really appreciate that you are now giving us the options to listen to the podcast in full or in parts. Is it possible to denote in the title which episodes are a breakdown of a larger pod? As much as I love your unique style/personality, I do prefer only listening once to the long form podcast.

Also, what restrictions do you face as a Laker’s Insider? Is it similar to the restrictions on what can be said that Pete/Mike Trudell face on the Lakers Film Room podcast?

Consistent, opinionated, slightly cringe

I enjoy this show. They consistently upload, share their opinion on games, etc

Anthony’s rebranding as a “Laker Insider” can feel cringe for long time viewers that know him as a super fan. Especially because it’s so forward and consistently mentioned, like he has some contractural agreement to mention it on every show. He pushed some pretty poorly researched breaking news regarding injuries that almost immediately got debunked.

I understand his employment probably stipulated this, and I’m not about to fault a dude for trying to get his money. But it does degrade the quality of the show, which in all other elements brand itself as a show from fans for fans.
