Off the Yelzebub

On what is probably the actual 5th anniversary of us doing a show together, we start off talking the NBA preseason, Rasheed Wallace's return to the game, and the Based God's tryout with the NBA D-League. We also talk a little bit about the BET Awards Cyphers and then get into how Loaded Lux has transformed his talent for old-man puns into a catchphrase recited by writers, thinkers, and Hov. We close out talking about the music we liked in high school, which will be highly embarrassing for us to listen to later on.

This time, we start off discussing the breakup of one of our favorite groups, G-Side. We attempt to rank them relative to other notable rap groups that include a producer and try to think about what this means for the two rappers' respective futures. Brad mentions that he bought some new pants, and that brings up recent GQ pieces by NBA players Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook, and the work of Chris Douglas-Roberts' stylist Megan Wilson. We talk a little bit about the end of the recent season of Breaking Bad and the old/new "Movin' Like Berney" trend in the Bay. We finish off on an unintentionally down note talking about the NFL's labor impasse with the referee union.

In this episode, we talk about why James Harden is having the best summer ever and continue our love of great beards. We also talk about Gunplay, how he reminds us of M.O.P. and all the crazy things that go down in his videos. We then spend about fifteen minutes talking "Hot Cheetos & Takis" and the snacks to which we'd dedicate songs back when we were 11-13. There's also some talk of Riff Raff, "From G's to Gents" and the inimitable T. Jones. We also briefly address Brandon Soderberg's concerns that Kendrick Lamar will turn into B.o.B.

This episode, we start off talking Olympic basketball and which teams we're going to follow when we get NBA League pass this year. Then Brad rants about the influences of The Dark Knight Rises that the average critic isn't nerdy enough to research or appreciate. We also talk about rappers overindulging themselves and Brad finally joining Twitter six years too late.
