The sports media industry landscape is constantly changing, and FanRag sports is changing with it.  After 132 episodes, Jared Mintz and Joseph Nardone (that's right, he's back) wrap up their podcast by reflecting on the last couple of years, their careers to this point as writers, where the industry's been and where it's going. The duo, who also host the Off The Wall Podcast for The Knicks Wall, fondly reminisce on some of their previous stops as writers, the running gag that the podcast would be cancelled shortly after it kicked off, and some of their favorite episodes and conversations with their esteemed guests. They also make fun of Kevin Durant, because they're blogger boys and he's not. For amateur basketball coverage and takes on Marty Jannetty, you can follow Joseph on Twitter at @JosephNardone. As always, you can follow Jared on Twitter at @JMintzhoops, and subscribe to the Relatively Speaking Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher.

The Relatively Speaking is back to bring you wonderful entertainment by way of dropping the most wonderful sounds inside your ear holes. It is also back with enough vengeance that Bruce Willis would be upset that he wasn’t walking around New York City half naked trying to solve some puzzles. In fact, there's so much tomfoolery happening in this edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast that you can't even hit it with a stick -- not that you should be trying to physically harm your favorite podcast. Did Jared have a fun time at his friend's bachelor party this weekend? Did Joseph and his father cheat to win money at a family reunion? So many important questions with so few solid answers. As for the sports stuff: A very random Christian Hackenberg segment happens.Is Christian Hackenberg the future?Does other NFL players peacefully protesting help Colin Kaepernick?Marvin Bagley, one of the nation's best high school players, is how good now?What does Bagley do for a USC, UCLA or Duke if he commits to one of those programs?Luka Doncic is becoming one of America's new sweethearts. Is the hype going to match the actual player? The show ends with Absurd Questions. How many points can Jared and Joseph score in a Chinese professional basketball game if given solid run on the court?What is the most hungover the guys have been while being forced to do something active the day of the hangover? Also, Jared makes deposits at Disney World. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. The same for the other guy @JosephNardone.

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. A podcast designed to insert the most insightful and entertaining sounds into your ears via the sultry noises coming out of the orifice of Jared Mintz. Some other guy co-hosts the podcast as well.  It is a slow news cycle in sports. That is unless you love Major League Baseball. While Jared and Joseph love the slapstick, it isn't exactly in their wheelhouse. The show begins as all shows should, as the guys immediately go off the rails. Joseph has finally begun to watch The Leftovers. This leads the dastardly duo into a 10 minute discussion about television show spoilers, what good shows are out there, and if either of them will ever begin to consume Game of Thrones. Also, spoiler alert, Joseph tells a story about Sons of Anarchy being spoiled for him. In the process, he spoils the show for everyone else unintentionally.  Then it is off to actual sports. Darren Daulton died. Joseph tells a quick story about being convinced Tom Berenger's character in Major League being based off Dutch while not caring if the movie happened before 1993 or not. The Miami Dolphins signed Jay Cutler. The guys giggle at the idea of giving an aged, coming off injury Cutler $10 million as opposed to just letting Matt Moore stink. Seriously... the Dolphins are going to stink no matter what, right? This edition of the show ends with Absurd Questions. Would you rather fight a clown or a mime with brass knuckles? There was another question, but this Internet Scribbler always forgets Jared's question. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. Joseph is over yonder @JosephNardone.

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. A place where noises emit from the hosts and sometimes results insightful commentary or delightfully charming jokes. Oh, who are we kidding? The Relatively Speaking Podcast is the best podcast ever and always emits the best noises possible. In fact, of the three people polled, all three would tell you how wonderful this specific podcast is. On today's episode, the guys talk about some of the latest happenings around the world of sports. How many quarterbacks need to get hurt before Colin Kaepernick gets a chance?What in the hell is wrong with the Baltimore Ravens?Do the Ravens have the worst PR team ever?New York Jets safety Jamal Adams says stuff about dying on a field and the world is confused.Way too early NFL hot-takes and predictions! The guys then discuss Michael Jordan pushing the LeBron James or Kobe Bryant debate. Joseph believes Jordan is doing this for a certain reason. In typical Relatively Speaking Podcast form, this becomes its own segment. Which one? The wildly popular and totally speculatory Conspiracy Theories segment! The show closes as do most Friday editions, with fan-favorite segment, AMA. Do you prefer your sheets tucked or untucked? This one gets heated.If you can be a juror for any trial in the history of the world, which one would it be and why? Jared and Joseph are both, apparently, cowards. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. The same can be done with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever. In fact, you can ask anybody about the return of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and you know what they would tell you? “The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever.” This is factual. Seriously ... just ask someone. On this edition of the show, the guys continue to touch on basketball-related subjects even though no games are being played. Also on this episode, Jared and Joseph do their first true segment on the UFC. To start this show, Joseph opines about better weather to cut grass with and Jared says he is a liar. Jared discusses if holding some infants over the weekend makes him want to have a baby. As always, riveting stuff. Jon Jones won over the weekend. Good or bad?Do we trust him to stay eligible?Are the guys excited for a possible Jon Jones-Brock Lesnar fight?Does Jared or Joseph know a singular MMA term? Then it is off to discuss The BIG3. Allen Iverson no-showed an event and... haha.Has this been a complete disaster?Is The BIG3 the feds?Will it even be back next year? The show ends with Absurd Questions. Joseph asks about zombies, vampires and mummies. Jared asked something as well, but people always forget what he asks because they are still recovering from him pondering if he'd rather die by drowning or fire.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast returns with the fury of 1,000 suns. It also returns just in time to discuss the latest happenings in the world of sports. If you want to have a good time and also gain insight, there isn't a better place to do it than by listening to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. For the first time in a long time, the podcast does not start on the morbid side. Instead, we find out that Jared is sick as a dog and that Joseph likes his new lawnmower so much that he cut his grass twice this weekend. Really riveting and important stuff, to be honest. As for actual things talked about on the Relatively Speaking Podcast: Kyrie Irving has reportedly asked for a trade.Should the Cleveland Cavaliers oblige?Is Irving a number-one type of talent?What does this mean for LeBron James?What is a reasonable offer for Kyrie Irving?Should the New York Knicks pull the trigger on this? Then it is off to fan favorite segment, Things On Our Mind, where Joseph discusses Law & Order without regard for the human spirit. Jared hates the franchise for some reason. Absurd Questions closes this edition of the podcast. Jared asks about what college alumni team would win The Basketball Tournament.Joseph wants to know what we want to hear (your) God say to us when/if we get to heaven.

?The Relatively Speaking Podcast is now officially 101 episodes deep. If you had a time machine, traveled back to the very first show, there is no doubt you saw this coming. In fact, you can ask anybody about the first edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and you know what they would tell you? "This is for sure going to last at least 101 episodes." Facts only. First thing is first, we want to thank again Matt Moore for being our guest on the 100th episode of the show. He was great. However, because we had him on to talk life after death and the NBA, we were unable to do a fancy celebration episode. For regular fans, think of this edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast as one where we look back on our best moments and workshop some ideas -- as well as ask you guys for more feedback as to what you like and hate about the show. For new listeners, consider this your soft welcome to the show. We explain some of the inside jokes, how we got here, and the general origin story of this entire debacle that is certainly the greatest (barely about) sports podcast on the planet. The show does end with its usual Friday AMA segment. No matter who you are or what you do, this is an edition of the show you can tell your grandchildren about in a decade... or something. Thanks to all for listening. Here is to 101 more episodes and 2,034,343 more bad dad jokes! You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. The other loser is over yonder @JosephNardone.

This is a very special edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast. Not only is Matt Moore, of CBS fame, a guest on this episode, but it is the 100th show. Thank you to everyone who has been around for the wild ride, bad jokes and iffy sports takes. By law of having a guest on, the Relatively Speaking Podcast begins by asking Moore five random questions. In a random question segment first, there was a followup to something asked. Things not only get interesting, but Matt drops some really incredible philosophical ideas on our craniums by way of our ear canals. After the tomfoolery is out of the way, there's even more shenanigans, but within the realm of basketball. What is happening with the Lonzo Ball hype? The rookies that are worth keeping an eye on? Did any team actually close the gap on the Golden State Warriors and/or Cleveland Cavaliers? Is the banana boat thing an actual thing or is it a figment of our creative imaginations? What's next for LeBron James if Dan Gilbert Dan Gilberts all over himself? What team in the Western Conference is going to make a huge jump next season? Of course, some Denver Nuggets conversation. Following some insightful basketball conversations, the show ends as it always does on Monday, with Absurd Questions. This is a rather violence-heavy edition of Absurd Questions. Listen at your own risk. Also, find out who Matt wants to punch... kind of. You can follow Matt on Twitter at both @HPbasketball and @MattMooreCBS. Jared can be followed over yonder @JMintzHoops. As for the loser guy, he's @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back to give you all the Gordon Hayward looks like he stole the real Gordon Hayward and cloned a more muscular version of him takes! Setting aside a fictitious Hayward messing with the real one's DNA, the Relatively Speaking Podcast was straight fire in this specific episode. First, and most importantly, we discuss Jared's birthday. He turned 32 on Friday. Yay! Hooray. Yippie! All the positivity. That is, uh, until we discuss the meaning of life for some reason and decide that when we die nothing at all happens. Pretty morbid start to the show to be honest. Gordon Hayward is now a member of the Boston Celtics. Does his help Boston close the gap between them and the Cleveland Cavaliers? Does this make other assets more movable? Is Danny Ainge building toward more of a youth movement? Speaking of the Cavs, Dan Gilbert has yet to hire a general manager. Joseph tends to think this is awful, as it is providing even more reason for LeBron James to get out of the directionless organization after next season. We close this episode of the podcast as we do every Friday -- by answering questions from our very loyal, good looking, and intelligent fans. Should the New York Knicks hurl the rookies to the fire from day-one? What television death altered our life the most? Twitter Mount Rushmore... You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. Same with that other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast woke up early on a Monday morning to swiftly insert entertainment into your cranium via the soft and luscious tones of Jared Mintz and Joseph Nardone. It has been a really busy week in NBA free agency. Major trades, major signings, and all the rumors to keep a basketball junkie away from the evil that is Major League Baseball. We kid. We kid. We love slapstick. After recapping some of the recent action, Jared and Joseph opine for a world where people stop counting J.J. Redick's money. Seriously, guys. It was a one-year deal. The front-end money isn't all that bad when you realize the Sixers have a billion players on rookie contracts -- AND IT IS FOR ONE YEAR! Paul George to Oklahoma City, Chris Paul to Houston, and a few other notable moves, has there been any shift of power out in the Western Conference? Did you guys hear about John Calipari to the New York Knicks? Jared did, and he is irrationally angry about the entire ordeal. As for Joseph, he discusses why he enjoys all of this nonsense and can see a day (off in the future) when Cal hits the NBA and does relatively well. The show closes as every Monday show ends -- with Absurd Questions. Jared wants to know what sport Joseph would be most afraid to play. Joseph asks Jared if he'd rather, you know, an alien or a ghost... really classy stuff. Follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The front-end money isn't all that bad when you realize the Sixers have a billion players on rookie contracts -- AND IT IS FOR ONE YEAR! Paul George to Oklahoma City, Chris Paul to Houston, and a few other notable moves, has there been any shift of power out in the Western Conference? Did you guys hear about John Calipari to the New York Knicks? Jared did, and he is irrationally angry about the entire ordeal. As for Joseph, he discusses why he enjoys all of this nonsense and can see a day (off in the future) when Cal hits the NBA and does relatively well. The show closes as every Monday show ends -- with Absurd Questions. Jared wants to know what sport Joseph would be most afraid to play. Joseph asks Jared if he'd rather, you know, an alien or a ghost... really classy stuff. Follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

Phil Jackson's no longer the President of the New York Knicks and Jared and Joseph are back for a special Wednesday edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast! What was originally intended to be a special Free Agency Preview episode with special guest Charley Rosen, became a Phil/Knicks extravaganza, as Rosen offered insights as to why his former coaching buddy and fellow triangle aficionado was fired just two months after having the final two years of his contract picked up. Rosen also spoke to Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis not buying into the triangle offense, the role the media played in Jackson's failure, and the deterioration of the quality of basketball being played in today's NBA. Jared and Joseph didn't let Rosen off the hook easily though, as they asked about Phil's inability to adapt to his roster, his communication shortcomings, and what would motivate Jackson to possibly re-sign Derrick Rose. It is also worth noting that Charley was a good enough sport to participate in the Relatively Speaking Podcast's famous "five rapid questions." Ever wonder why he's not on Twitter or if he thinks Bill Russell can beat up Shaq in a fistfight? Wonder no more, Earthlings! Regardless if you agree or disagree with Rosen's takes, this was an insightful interview with a man who's spent over five decades around the game of basketball, and has as good of a perspective on Jackson's thought process as anyone out there. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. The same for the other, more good looking host @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever. In fact, you can ask anybody about the return of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and you know what they would tell you? "The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever." On this edition of the show, the guys continue to touch on basketball related subjects even though no games are being played. But wait... we lied! There are games taking place. It just so happens to be in Ice Cube's BIG3 league. After the show begins with Joseph discussing his walloping of family members during a Frisbee game at his daughter's graduation party, the hot-takes begin. The Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers have a small Twitter beef going. The guys discuss how it is harmless, yet incredibly delightful. With the BIG3 starting, yet airing on tape delay, Jared and Joseph discuss the prospects for the league. Both admit they will tune in to give it a shot, but aren't too optimistic about the entire situation. The hosts openly ponder the current situation of D'Angelo Russell. Furthermore, are concerned that Magic Johnson gave up on the young guard far too soon (Joseph also fears Magic might be West Coast Phil Jackson). If you can rewrite any TV show or movie and save a character that was previously killed off, who would it be and why? If a food were president, would pizza be the leader of the free world and corn be the vice president? This was likely our most hotly debated part of the podcast. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. The other guy is over @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and is without a 2017 NBA Draft hangover. In fact, it is back with such great happiness that it got to consume the draft that it might name its first podcast baby "2017 NBA Draft." In what is obviously the biggest thing happening in the sports world, Jared and Joseph discuss all things draft-related. There was a lot to go through after the 2017 NBA Draft. Some picks, guys falling, and a few trades that seemed awfully one-sided. It is a lot for the casual fan to consume. Have no fear, however, because Jared and Joseph are here to ease that burden for the casual fan. Also, to make bad jokes. Did the Bulls get swindled on Thursday night? Why is Chicago rebuilding without draft picks? Phil Jackson's relationship with Kristaps Porzingis is not ideal. What are the Knicks doing? Joseph believes the much ballyhooed Sacramento draft class isn't actually good. Will Danny Ainge ever use any of his assets to do anything of worth? The Philadelphia 76ers have trusted the process. Does it have a payoff anytime soon? Player comparisons are lazy and mostly way off... and yet we still made a few. Did the Lakers get it wrong by trading away a young prospect just to dump salary? How did we consume the draft coverage? You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. If you're feeling froggy, jump! Also, follow @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to ease your basketball blues. Sure, both the NBA and college basketball seasons are over, but to those who have their heaven only be 10-feed off the ground, we're here to make sure you find your religion. On this special edition of the podcast, Cole Zwicker joins as a special guest to help sort through all of the 2017 NBA Draft hoopla. Among the things discussed: Cole is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Everyone loves Donovan Mitchell. Cole gets pretty excited about fighting ghosts. What is a Luke Kennard and how awful are player-on-player comparisons? Is Kelly Olynyk the least attractive vampire of all the times? What should Boston and Los Angeles do with its picks? Jordan Bell gets a ton of love while the center position is mostly relegated to being the running backs of the NBA. People love Josh Jackson, but there are some legitimate concerns. Joseph goes on his usual Malachi Richardson rant that results in him asking Cole if he too hates fake-draft Twitter. We would like to thank Cole for being on the Relatively Speaking Podcast. In our not so humble opinions, he's a rising NBA Draft analyst star and you should all follow him and his work. Cole can be found on the mean streets of Twitter @ColeZwicker. Jared is hanging out in the dark recesses over @JMintzHoops. Joseph doesn't know how to use the future-device @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with more vengeance than Bruce Willis after a hangover. Also, the original Die Hard is most certainly not a Christmas movie. There is a lot of things happening in sports even though the only games being played are in Major League Baseball. The guys attempt to jump in with the best, most scorching hot takes this side of the Milky Way galaxy. To start the show, Joseph comes at Christopher Nolan hard. He argues that the Batman trilogy director, as well as other comic movie directors, stole their "grit" approach to the main characters from Raphielle in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Golden State Warriors are the champs and the game seems set for them to win another next season unless another super team rises from the ashes. Can that even happen? Jerry West is leaving Golden State to join the Los Angeles Clippers. What do we make of it? The NCAA "penalized" the Louisville Cardinals for the entire hooker/stripper scandal. What are Jared and Joseph's takes? The super-fight that will certainly sucker plenty of people out of their money is officially happening. The hosts discuss how Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor is all spectacle and no-go, but why they will watch anyway. To finish the show, the Relatively Speaking Podcast answers your most important questions. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. The other can is over @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back to air the greatest edition of any podcast in the history of live noises being recorded through third-hand applications! In fact, you can ask anybody, and you know what they would tell you? "The Relatively Speaking Podcast recorded the best third-hand application podcast in the history of podcasts." Said anybody. On this edition, the show opens with Joseph becoming Facebook Joseph. Since he doesn't have an actual Facebook account, preventing him from talking about dad things or hot-takes, he casually ponders dad stuff with his face-orifice open and noises coming out. It is riveting. After Jared gets him back on the rails: Aaron Judge is playing baseball as if he's made three shots in a row in NBA Jam. This is great for the slapstick, but the guys want the nation to cool down on the talk of him being the face of Major League Baseball. The NBA Finals is quickly coming to a close. The guys try to make a case that maybe Cleveland can come back, then decide it is probably over after Game 5. A random discussion about the television program Community breaks out. It is probably the seven greatest minutes in the greatest recorded podcast ever. Absurd Questions closes the show. Joseph asks Jared if he would rather live in the Metal Gear, Final Fantasy VII or Last of Us universes. Jared sends a query toward Joseph what team he has rooted against the hardest in his life. Follow Jared on Twitter @JmintzHoops. Joseph can be found @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is in an Ohio State of mind. Between the Cleveland Cavaliers apparently being toast and the Ohio State Buckeyes firing Thad Matta and going through a weird coaching search, we might as well be broadcasting from Akron. To start this famed podcast, Jared and Joseph discuss the NBA Finals. LeBron James is getting too much heat for being consistently great. Weird, right? The end of Game 3 looked like a failure, but it was actually rather logical. Can Cleveland somehow add to its roster for next season to better compete? After that, the Relatively Speaking Podcast pulls a segment out of the dumpster, as Conspiracy Theories returns! Joseph has some riveting takes on the entire Ohio State situation. Not only does he understand why Gene Smith took until June to fire Matta, but he believes the hiring of Chris Holtmann was the right move. Following some college basketball hot-takes, Jared Put The Poop In The Basket by going after NFL writers for defending the league's shield. Finally, the show ends as should all properly produced podcasts -- with an AMA! Does these NBA Finals make LeBron want to leave Cleveland? Can any team do anything to counter Golden State for next season? A question concerning the 2017 NBA Draft that results in Joseph lovingly talking about nearly every second-round draft pick as if he were their father. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. Joseph can be found @JosephNardone.

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. Your home for sounds being made from the orifices of the hosts. You won't find another podcast in the history of podcasts with two hosts who have such wonderful oral orifices. On this edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, Jared and Joseph look back at the absolutely dominating performance of the Golden State Warriors through two games of the NBA Finals. Kevin Durant has been an one-of-a-kind monster. Like Shelton Benjamin, there ain't no stopping him now. Steph Curry has quietly had two huge games himself. During Game 2, he acquired his first ever playoff triple-double. Does this start to get rid of some of the iffy Curry narratives hanging around because of Game 7 last year? Joseph, very randomly, asks for Steve Kerr to play Ian Clark more. Welcome back, Kerr! In a totally not shocking development, Joseph is taking (supposedly) his two daughters to Monday Night Raw. What does he hope to see? Who are his spawns rooting for? Will Marty Jannetty make a triumphant return to the squared-circle? This episode of the podcast ends as all episodes should -- with Absurd Questions. Jared wants to know who are the best twins to have ever graced the Milky Way Galaxy. As for Joseph, he asks Jared what reality show (all-time) he would like to be a member of. It turns out both hosts are incredible cowards. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. Do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you get ready. For what exactly? Stuff! Stuff, and the 2017 NBA Finals. As usual, the show begins with some odd banter that has no place in big time championship preview podcasts. But so is life and so is the Relatively Speaking Podcast. After Jared and Joseph do their usual morning routines, it is time to discuss everything Golden State Warriors versus Cleveland Cavaliers. By everything, we mean near everything. Who are X-factors? What is an X-factor? Why do we keep inventing ways to say "guy who isn't great, but should do well in big moments" when we already have a thing called X-factor? What is at stake for LeBron James? Does Steph Curry need to win a title to win back the public? Can Kevin Durant do anything to make people consider him anything other than a world-class front-runner? There's even more discussion related to the NBA Finals than that, but we won't spoil the entire show because Jared and Joseph know you love surprises. The Relatively Speaking Podcast closes this special show with predictions that will make your heart swoon! The point here is an obvious one to note: If you want to know what is going to happen in this rubber match between these two fantastic franchises, you should probably set aside some time to consume the Relatively Speaking Podcast with -- and this is important -- BOTH of your ears (if available). You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you end your Memorial Day weekend correctly. First and foremost, remember what -- and WHO -- the day is actually about. Your hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks with friends are all great, as is that extra day off of work, but none of us would have any of that without courageous people giving the ultimate sacrifice so when can dabble in such entitlements. This episode of the podcast is incredibly off-brand. The Relatively Speaking Podcast starts with some NHL talk. Yes. That is correct. Jared and Joseph talk slapstick! Joseph watched an E-60 over the weekend on P.K. Subban and now he's in love with the Nashville star. He wants the National Hockey League to make him the face of the sport. Jared also agrees... and he can name more than three hockey players! A true win for all hockey fans, in our not so humble opinion. Subban was the show's lone sports talking point, but that is only because there was other fish to fry in this episode. Is it called a cookout or a BBQ? What are your favorite games to play outside with friends? How about your least favorite? Best food to eat at a festivity taking place outdoors? What are the guys' preferred adult-beverages during such events? The fire takes inside are just too hot to handle. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. The other guy can be found @JosephNardone. As always, thanks for all your support of the podcast!

Welcome back to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. A place that took Twitter's NBA Draft free agency idea and turned it into an entire segment. On this edition of the podcast, the most important thing the audience will find out is that Jared Mintz is an elitist who also enjoys himself some socialism. As it is the weekly tradition, after finding out about Joseph's plans to go dumpster diving this weekend, Jared is forced to issue an apology to LeBron James. On Monday's episode, Jared was sincerely concerned for the best player in the NBA. As of this podcast, not so much. The guys then began to discuss some other NBA tomfoolery, but are holding off their NBA Finals preview show for next week. The mean streets of Twitter was abuzz the last few days over the idea of replacing the NBA Draft with a rookie free agency type of situation. Jared and Joseph discuss the pros and cons of such an idea. Is the current system ethical? What logistical issues would there be? How much money can we make off of this? And so much more. To finish the show, fan favorite segment Put The Poop In The Basket returns! This segment is dedicated to Lonzo Ball refusing to work out for the Boston Celtics. Is it bad? Is it good? Did anyone put the poop in the basket? Also, Jared yells at Joseph for calling Lonzo Magic Johnson-lite (like, VERY poor man's version). You can follow Jared over in the shadows at @JMintzHoops. Looming in the dark recesses of Twitter is the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you sort out the entire LeBron James debacle as well as the entire NBA Playoffs being less than awesome. In typical fashion, the show begins with Jared putting Joseph in a horrible position. After the latter of the two dances around his reasons for running away from a neighbor's house over the weekend, the real fun begins. The Boston Celtics stunned the world on Sunday after upsetting the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron was pretty awful in that game. Jared points out the level if indifference James appeared to show on Sunday while Joseph yells at his co-host for not having strong opinions. Is it a big deal? Does this have any larger meaning to it? Can this now result in a tremendous Eastern Conference Finals? All those questions, plus many more, are answered in this here podcast. Kevin Durant spoke to the quality of the NBA Playoffs recently. In a nutshell, the Golden State Warriors bucket-maker said if you don't like the competition level of the games, don't bother watching. Jared has some relatively small issues with those comments. Joseph, of course, agrees with the Slim Reaper. Absurd Questions closes out the show. If you ever wanted to hear the guys wax poetic about late 1990s St. John's basketball, here is your chance. Also, hot-takes involving what is the best food to tip in sauce. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. The same with Joseph over at @JosephNardone. For More Of Jared And Joseph Jared's Author Page Joseph's Author Page

Jared has some relatively small issues with those comments. Joseph, of course, agrees with the Slim Reaper. Absurd Questions closes out the show. If you ever wanted to hear the guys wax poetic about late 1990s St. John's basketball, here is your chance. Also, hot-takes involving what is the best food to tip in sauce. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. The same with Joseph over at @JosephNardone. For More Of Jared And Joseph Jared's Author Page Joseph's Author Page

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to haunt your dreams like a bad horror movie from the 1980s. This edition of the podcast is a bit heavy with NBA, but there's plenty of other random stuff to go around. Ping pong balls fell in a certain way this week to make the upcoming 2017 NBA Draft as interesting as it has ever been. Couple that with one of the (projected) best classes in roughly a decade, and we have ourselves a ton of fun just ready to go. What should the Boston Celtics do with the No. 1 overall pick? Is it better to see if the franchise can land a known superstar like a Jimmy Butler or a Paul George, or should the franchise punt for down the line by drafting in the position currently slotted? Jared and Joseph both think the world of this draft class. With that being the case, and with the combine behind us, the dastardly duo attempt to mock draft the lottery selection portion of it. It is in a segment we call -- the NBA lottery mock! Very original, we know. After all the serious conversations are out of the way, it is off to the land of crowd-sourced content! Hip, hip hooray. Questions were good this week. How long is a second (really)? If you feeling like a green animal that sometimes drinks tea and looks indifferent, jump to follow the guys on the mean streets of Twitter. Jared can be found over yonder @JMintzHoops. The other spawn of evil can be found @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is better than your favorite podcaster's favorite podcast. Also, we have Jameel Warney as a special guest and they do not. This edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast is so good that you can ask anyone about how good it is... and you know what they would say? "That this specific edition of the podcast is very, very good." As mentioned, former Stony Brook legend and current D-League talent, Jameel Warney, joins the podcast. We discuss many basketball things with the Texas Legends big man. What was it like going through the NBA Draft process coming out of high school? Who is his favorite Twitter follower (other than Joseph)? Any advice to people who like sliding in the DMs? What was the Summer League experience like? Who is his favorite musician (this is a stunning answer)? What did he learn from playing in the D-League? Draymond Green is one of his biggest inspirations... and how he'd make popcorn to make the NBA if need be. That is only a small fraction of what the guys talk about on this episode of the Relatively Speaking Podcast. It is literally a very insightful, enlightening and fun edition of the show. You can follow all three of the guys on the mean streets of Twitter, if you so dare. Jameel can be found @Fullcoursemeelz. Jared is over yonder @JMintzHoops. Joseph is wandering aimlessly over @JosephNardone. PSA: Jameel very much understood the Relatively Speaking Podcast brand. This is your must-listen episode of the podcast.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast comes to you with a heavy heart, a mental state filled with burdens, and less joy than it usually brings to the table. There is some -- cough -- relatively good news. This episode of the podcast immediately starts off the rails. Joseph discusses how he is currently using steroids, Jared mentions how bad he was at baseball (he never had a hit!) and the two agree that there's a difference between organized basketball and pickup hoop. The joy, mostly, ends there. It is then off to discuss the biggest news of the week, and it isn't the NFL Draft. ESPN released 100 people from its company on Wednesday. This wasn't the people working behind the scenes, either. It was the talent who brought a varying types of experience, styles and perspective to the table. It is, sincerely, a horrible thing for the industry. Jared and Joseph attempt to discuss the entire ordeal. It is a far more complex than currently portrayed, so the duo attempt to do a better job explaining and expressing it. Some of the biggest, and possibly strangest, things that were noted: Joseph sticks up for Stephen A. Smith and slams someone who only goes after the lowest hanging fruit. Jared brings up some writers who attempted to have everyone rally around the industry on Thursday. Both discuss what is next. There is so much more than just that, but it is hard to put in words. Just give it a listen. You can follow Jared on Twitter @JMintzHoops. As for Joseph, he's at @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with a special midweek edition of the show. With the Final Four looming in the shadows, the podcast welcomes Fox Sports' Aaron Torres to the show to help break everything you need to know down. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, this resulted in Jared being unable to record the show. But the world need not worry, as Joseph is still around to barely form sentences with his mouth full of marbles. The format of this special episode is rather simple. For every Final Four related question Joseph asks Aaron, the college basketball expert has to answer something absurd. Yes, most certainly, things get interesting in a hurry. With Oregon coming off last season's trip to the NCAA Tournament as a one-seed, Aaron and Joseph discuss how in the hell the Ducks managed to be a surprising Final Four participant. How often does Aaron shave? Luke Maye? Yup. That is the question. No worries. More thoughts come off the vague, totally direct question. Who has the best hair in college basketball media? Our guest broke the first rule of talking about hair in media -- he didn't answer Joseph. How is South Carolina good? The Frank Martin story is absurd, fun and inspiring. Are the Gonzaga narratives dead? Aaron has been in Fox Sports 1 broadcasts. Joseph asks him what it is like to be famous? This is likely the best segment of the entire show. Joseph and Aaron give their Final Four predictions and admit there is nothing but luck involved when filling out a bracket. Finally, what sports network's college basketball staff would out drink the other: Fox Sports' of FanRag Sports'? You can follow Aaron on Twitter @Aaron_Torres. The same can be done with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back. Some might even say that it is back and better than ever. In fact, you can ask anyone about this specific edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and you know what they would tell you? That the Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and better than ever! With college basketball happening around us, but with a special guest lined up to help preview the Final Four for our next episode, Jared and Joseph take a deep dive into one of the world's most important philosophical discussions -- what would Tom Cruise movies look like if another human had to star in any one of his movies instead of him? Renowned NBA writer Josh Eberley -- who came up with a similar question for Friday's show -- joins the Relatively Speaking Podcast to offer insight to this complicated discussion. Minutes, hours, days, years (for Jared) was spent researching this mind-boggling difficult discussion. With roughly eleventy-billion credits to his career, Tom Cruise is a juggernaut in the movie industry. Joseph was able to cut the list to Tom's 30-ish most notable roles, and the magic then happened. Listen as the trio of terrificness that is Josh, Jared and Joseph recast Tom Cruise movies. The kicker here is that only an actor from the era the movie was filmed in can star in the role. Who plays Maverick in Top Gun? What about Cocktail? So many tremendous movie roles, and only a few quality thespians to fill the void left by Tom. If you care not to hear such wonderful insight, you should at the very least come for the creepy segment music. And, friends, it is very creepy. Josh is on Twitter @JoshEberley. Jared is also there @JMintzHoops. Unfortunately, so is the other guy @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast cares not for your NCAA Tournament bracket. Put down the social media device, refrain from telling us about what Cinderella is going to make a run, and realize that your hopes and dreams of winning whatever office pool you are in matters to us as much as we care about Larry from two blocks over. Yeah. Seriously. {Expletive} Larry! Hey, did you guys know Lonzo Ball is a good basketball player? Word on the mean streets of people having a brain tell us most of you do. Those same people, though, say his father, LaVarr, is as nuts as a two-headed unicorn. Jared and Joseph discuss everything happening in the Ball family home. Is it nuts? Is LaVarr using his kids for profit? Is daddy dearest actually a genius who is railing against the NCAA's free-labor system? So many gosh slam questions. Luckily for you, our friend, we have answers. Dana White has thoughts on the supposed "soon to happen" mega-fight between two athletes from two different sports. While few would care to see LeBron James play Darren Daulton in a game of jump rope, a nation wouldn't mind two prizefighters doing battle in a sport only one of the two of them actually participates in. Jared and Joseph, naturally, have even more thoughts! One of America's most favorite -- and lazily put together -- podcast segments is back! Ask Me Anything (AMA, for you cool kids), is a straight flame emoji this week. After receiving millions upon millions of tweets asking the hosts questions, the dastardly duo give planet Earth some answers! OK. Fine. Whatever. There were like 10 tweets. You can follow Jared on the future-device known as Twitter @JMintzHoops. Follow Joseph at @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with more vengeance than any Bruce Willis movie. This is a special edition of the podcast, as usual co-host Jared Mintz is off celebrating his marriage to the only woman on the planet capable of dealing with his New York Knicks hot-takes. Thanks to that, the podcast has a very special guest co-host. FanRag Sports' own, and all around thespian, Alex Kolodziej makes his first ever appearance on the Relatively Speaking Podcast -- and the game has been changed forever. After Joseph butchers pronouncing his last name, find out some important personal information about Alex. Then it is off to actual sports conversation. Alex and Joseph discuss the most overrated franchises in all of sports. Alex comes with some hot-takes concerning the Dallas Cowboys and Michigan Wolverines, all while Joseph spends five quality minutes bashing DePaul basketball. How would these two geniuses fix Major League Baseball? Something about murdering outfielders and creating a situation in which the best newspaper headlines ever are used. Conspiracy Theories return this week, and does Alex ever have a bunch of them. After rattling off how many stalwarts are actually lies, Alex decides to let mankind know that scouting combine and player evaluations are all a scam. This will change your life. Joseph's is not as fun. The show ends up with fan-favorite segment Absurd Questions. Joseph wants to know if Alex can beat up one of America's cinematic darlings... and of course he can. Alex asks about people who sit on the same side of the booth as the other when the seat across is open. Those people, in our humble opinions, are the worst. You can follow Alex on the mean streets of Twitter @AKolodziejFRS. You can do the same with the other guy @JosephNardone. Congratulations to Jared on getting married!

It is Monday. That is a boo-type of situation. It is also the return of the Relatively Speaking Podcast. That will likely make you feel the opposite emotions that usually come with the Monday blues, as it is the greatest podcast in the history of the world. Seriously. You can ask anybody about the Relatively Speaking Podcast, and they will all say the same: "The Relatively Speaking Podcast is the greatest podcast in the history of mankind." On this edition of the podcast, the guys start the show by discussing two NFL teams who apparently need more respect. For Jared, it is the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers. For Joseph, he thinks football is super violent. The Houston Texans finally benched their big offseason signing who was apparently a quarterback. What a (Tom) Savage move, in the Relatively Speaking Podcast's opinion. Kentucky Wildcats guard Malik Monk went bonkers against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Also, Tacko Fall is more than just a 7-6 humanoid... Joseph thinks he's on the verge of playing his way into NBA Mock Draft experts' first-round. Bad Tweets is as historically bad as ever. It is how the segment works, to be honest. As for Absurd Questions, it is once again a situation where you will just have to listen to understand the veracity of absurdness that comes with this segment. You can, if you dare, follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. If you want to do a similar thing with the other, less articulate host, you can @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back with the heart of a lion and the desire to please of a person who really likes to please. In what is widely accepted as the greatest podcast in the history of podcasts, allow the Relatively Speaking Podcast to wash over you like a warm shower. There are topics discussed today, for what it is worth. What did the outcome of Dallas-New York mean, if anything? What is wrong with the Seattle Seahawks? Are the Green Bay Packers the packiest Packers in the history of the franchise? Bad Tweets got a small retool for this week, as it is Good Tweets. It is hard to explain, so you'll simply have to listen. Then, for reasons only known to Jared and Joseph, the hosts decide to look at the 2014 and 2015 NBA Drafts and call players either "busts" or "no busts" without any nuance proper context allowed. While not their finest moment, it is their first time fully embracing #NBATwitter. Absurd Questions: What actors are ugly? That's what Jared wants to know. As for Joseph, he speaks a ton of words about the Fast and Furious movie franchise because life is too great. And that is pretty much the show in a nutshell. It might not seem like a ton, but it is easily the greatest podcast in the history of the greatest podcast ever made. So, yeah... there's that! You can follow Uncle Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. A similar thing can be applied to the other host @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you come down from what was surely a fire emoji weekend filled with College Football Playoff hot-takes, trips to the movie theater, and a slew of chicken wings. Apparently, we guess, the National Football League's biggest talking point being had after Sunday is Cam Newton failing to wear a tie, which resulted in a one-series benching. While most of America will turn this into a discussion regarding responsibility or if the Carolina Panthers overreacted, Joseph is concerned because turtlenecks are so 2001. The Pittsburgh Steelers looked awesome. Jared discussed their new big-three. Why is Alex Smith the Andrew Bogut of the NFL? The Detroit Lions are good... we think. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially a thing! Bad Tweets returns this week. What do you get when you combine poorly chosen words with a hyperbolic statement? A spot on this segment. Also, we've had enough of Draymon Green's flailing legs. To end what turned out to be the best podcast in the history of podcasts (seriously, you can ask anybody), Absurd Questions closes the show with these two gems: What is your favorite holiday movie and what would you change about it? If you can write the autobiography of any living person, who would it be and why? Don't worry loyal podcast listeners, the answers to those questions will not disappoint you. Follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do a similar thing, I mean, if you want @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you start your Turkey Week off on the right foot. Luckily for you, those who celebrate by eating plenty of turkey, the guys are going to help you out in that area. More on that later. Jared was dying to discuss how awesome the NFC East is. While Joseph tentatively agrees, listen as the former waxes poetic about the greatness of the New York Giants all while the latter is trying to point to the close wins as evidence that maybe they aren't that good. The Dallas Cowboys remain awesome. The Washington football team is also playing well. Does this, in turn, make the division the best in all of the NFL? Bad Tweets is broken up into two different parts this week. The first one is concerning some Aaron Rodgers hot-takes. The second is about the idea of Carmelo Anthony being selfish. For both, everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X, though Jared goes rather hard at Melo. James Harden is gnarly at the game of basketball this season. So, too, is Joel Embiid. More discussions are had involving both men. Both Absurd Questions this week revolve around Thanksgiving. Jared's is about food, and Joseph's has to deal with a murder mystery because of course it has to do with something not relevant at all to the subject matter being discussed. You can follow Jared on the mean, cold, dark streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. A similar thing can be done for the far less articulate, savvy, and wise host @JosephNardone. Enjoy the holiday, America.

The long awaited edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast has finally arrived. It is the place in space and time when Jared and Joseph get to discuss young people performing athletic marvels on college basketball hardwoods throughout the country without getting paid! Rejoice! The guys don't start with college basketball, however. Instead, they focus their attention on the NFL. The Seahawks did great things against the Patriots. Does it mean anything? Dallas upends Pittsburgh. Tony Romo may never see the light of day again. What in the Sam Cassell is going on with the Green Bay Packers? Bad Tweets returns his week. If you want to end up on this segment, a good way to do that is to call anyone "the poor man's" anyone else and/or bring up conspiracy theories concerning leagues wanting to force owners out of the sport. Then, finally, a college basketball preview (kind of)! Luke Kennard is the Marty Jannetty to Grayson Allen's HBK. Thomas Bryant is pretty dang good at the shooty hoops. The much hyped Dennis Smith Jr. isn't playing all too well to start his career. Washington has a great freshman. He's worth your time. The show is capped off with Absurd Questions. This week, as it is every other week, gets the guys totally off the rails. Something about being an inanimate object and dating Christina Ricci. You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. If you want less articulate thoughts, or see a man unravel in real-time, follow the other host @JosephNardone.

The long awaited edition of the Relatively Speaking Podcast has finally arrived. It is the place in space and time when Jared and Joseph get to discuss young people performing athletic marvels on college basketball hardwoods throughout the country without getting paid! Rejoice! The guys don't start with college basketball, however. Instead, they focus their attention on the NFL. The Seahawks did great things against the Patriots. Does it mean anything?

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here in a brand new world. Well, it is the same as the previous one, but now it got a bit more strange. That said, we won't comment on any of that because we like to #StickToSports. Jared starts the show by yelling at his co-host for a variety of reasons. After the handsomely crafted duo hash their issues out, they discuss the Los Angeles Clippers. One host thinks Doc Rivers has his team positioned to be the third best squad in the entire NBA. The other, well, he wants to discuss nepotism. Joseph is really concerned about the Washington Wizards. Furthermore, he wants to know if Bradley Beal is just really bad at basketball, or stinks, or should be sent to Mars because him supposedly being the "next Ray Allen" is clearly science-fiction work at its worst. The Cleveland Cavaliers visisted the White House, and all the guys can think about is all the funny things that happened during the team's meeting of the President. NFL Week 10 Picks: Bears at Bucs Broncos at Saints Chiefs at Panthers Warrick Davis movie recap for some odd reason. Cowboys at Steelers Seahawks at Patriots Ask Me Anything segment: "Why is Kanye so historically overrated?" Another question regarding us potetially fighting 100 duck sized Tim Duncans or one Duncan sized duck. Joseph, not at all oddly, has a rather in-depth plan to handle this. Follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do a similar thing with the other guy @JosephNardone.

The good news is that Chicago Cubs fans can rest easy for at least one more day. The even better news is that the Relatively Speaking Podcast is back for yet another edition of the Internet's most important, life altering podcast. After getting the warranted CJ Prosise love out of the way, Jared and Joseph move their immediate attention to the wonderful world of the NBA. What stood out to the guys as of late? Well, we are glad you asked. Russell Westbrook is lighting the league on fire. Good thing too, as the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. It will be the first regular season game in which Kevin Durant faces his old squad. Shenanigans surely await. The New Orleans Pelicans are ruining Anthony Davis. Boo, them, in out hosts' less than humble opinions. Is the success the Chicago Bulls have had sustainable? As far as the National Football League is concerned, Jared wants to know if everyone should be worried about the Seattle Seahawks. Rather absurd when you think about it, as Pete Carroll finally learned that Prosise is a legend in waiting. Bad Tweets returns to discuss Halloween and awful Philadelphia 76er takes. As usual, the Absurd Questions segment was the opposite of normal. You can follow Jared on the future-device known as Twitter @JMintzHoops. A similar thing can be done with the other host who is far less educated, but has a glorious set of hair @JosephNardone. PS: Be safe out there in the land of ticks and treats!

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is very easily the best podcast named Relatively Speaking in the land. All other sports-related podcasts are just sad. Anyway, the NBA season is currently in full-swing. Since Jared and Joseph are such experts in that realm, many things involving grown man in shorts attempting to put a ball through a cylinder is discussed. The guys both believe that we should all be trusting the process as far as the Philadelphia 76ers are concerned. Jared makes an argument that the San Antonio Spurs will go 82-0 (kind of). Why do the New Orleans Pelicans still stink despite Anthony Davis clearly being an alien? Random Bradley Beal slander! The New York Knicks stink... obviously. After even more NBA things are discussed, the Relatively Speaking Podcast moves on to its biggest -- literally -- money maker, with the guys' week eight NFL picks. The games being picked are: Patriots at Bills Seahawks at Saints Chiefs at Colts Jets at Browns Cardinals at Panthers To finish off this Friday edition of the show, fan-favorite segment Ask Me Anything returns! Locked in a movie theater for life, allowed to watch only 3 TV shows. what are they and why? What’s the ideal closing lineup for the Lakers? The answers to those questions will not only haunt you for the rest of your mortal life, but will follow you into the afterlife in an effort to take your soul.

It is Monday. Many are mourning the losses -- or one loss (no spoilers here) -- of characters being walloped to the point of no return in The Walking Dead. Luckily for you, humans, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you overcome this insane adversity. Jared and Joseph start the show glossing over the NFL. Both believe the weekend was a bit of a dull. For what it is worth, they did manage to find a new show mascot, however. This leads us to the best segment in all of podcasting history, Bad Tweets. Jared uses one that involves calling the San Diego Chargers the second best team in the AFC. Joseph pulls one from those mean streets that is boycotting the NBA over someone else boycotting something else entirely. America is grand isn't it? After brand new music, the guys do a deep dive into the NBA. Underrated, overrated, MVP candidates, random Bill Russell slander, all involved in this glorious, if not downright life-changing, preview segment. Absurd Questions is as absurd as usual this week. Joseph wants Forrest Gump to end with Tom Hanks being stepped on by dinosaur ridden by Christian Slater. Jared wants to know what team from another era would be neat to watch in today's NBA (the answer is none). Follow Jared on the mean, dark, cold streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do the same with the other host who is less articulate @JosephNardone. PS: If you're feeling froggy my friends, then jump, Merica.

The weekend is near. Luckily for you, friend, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you reach it by way of super heavy societal issues... and bad jokes. After starting the show discussing Jared's brother potentially dying at the heads of famed serial killer, Matt Frank, the guys quickly jump into fan-favorite segment That Don't Look Good -- which is a three topic discussion this week. What doesn't look good this week? Well, we are glad you asked: Josh Brown, the New York Giants, and the incredible hoopla surrounding a rather disposable kicker. The finality of the Derrick Rose saga, which culminated with a judge and jury deciding to pander to a superstar athlete. Rick Pitino, Louisville, and the NCAA -- all of which our Joseph Nardone has hot-takes on. Don't worry, the Relatively Speaking Podcast isn't all about the seriousness nature of the world. We also help make you money! Week 7 NFL Picks: Colts at Titans Ravens at Jets Patriots at Steelers Seahawks at Cardinals Texans at Broncos After a rather wild start to the show, both Jared and Joseph somehow bounce back to break some news (for real). Returning to finish the show, making its second ever appearance in the pod, is a totally brand new, reinventing the wheel segment -- which is totally NOT Absurd Questions in a different form -- Ask Me Anything. Three or more questions were asked. Three or more questions were answered. You're welcome in advance, humans. Follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do the same with the other guy who is far less talented on the show @JosephNardone.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help ease you into your workweek. Why? Because we have an unconditional love for our listeners, obviously. After bragging about being well above the .500 mark picking NFL games, some insights are discussed concerning the weekend's slate of games. To briefly highlight what is mentioned: The Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott, their offensive line, are all super awesome and we should worship Jerry Jones for being a genius. Tom Brady is not only still very much good looking, but he remains the best gunslinger in all of the National Football League. Are the Buffalo Bills good? Save for the Patriots, are there any other elite-level teams? And, of course, more! Bad Tweets returns this week. Joseph basically uses it as a platform to discuss the Nigel Hayes backlash even more... even though he wrote 2,000 words on it recently. Jared wants to discuss "The Heist of the Century" trade between the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks! As for Absurd Questions, Joseph is interested in if Jared would drink a full gallon of creamer and Jared wants to know about eating food out of a can. It's complicated stuff, to be honest, so you just need to keep your ears open and listen. Be safe everyone. Don't text while driving -- or, for that matter, do advanced geometry while operating any form of vehicle. Follow Jared on the rough and tumble future-device known as Twitter @JMintzHoops. You can do a similar thing with Joseph, who can be found on the mean streets @JosephNardone.
