Return of the KANGZ (featuring Tim Maxwell and Sanjesh Singh) Jul 22, 2020

Basketball is almost back!

For better or for worse, it appears that we're going to end this basketball season in the coming days. In typical Kings fashion, the team has found multiple ways to make headlines as the Orlando bubble gets ready to debut.

Injuries? Check.

Breaking quarantine for chicken wings? Check.

The anxiety of knowing that the Kings once again rule our lives? Check.

We are joined by The Kings Herald's own Tim Maxwell and Sanjesh Singh to discuss Marvin Bagley's injury, whether or not it's fair to call him injury prone yet, how the different outside factors may affect the Kings, and what needs to be done in order to make this jaunt into Orlando a worthwhile trip.

We sincerely appreciate all the support! Please like, rate, subscribe, review, tell your friends, tell your family, and tell your enemies about this podcast.

Deuce Mason and Morgan Ragan joined as as we discussed all of this and more. Obviously, to cap it off, we needed to talk about the reunion with Corey Brewer and what his signing means for the Kings.

You might notice a dip in audio quality. Unfortunately, the recording was done on a laptop microphone instead of the Blue Yeti, but outside of a loss of quality, it does not affect the listenability of the podcast.

The Jester's Film Club: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days May 21, 2020

With no sports to worry about in the present, why not look into the past for inspiration?

When Sticking to Sports Isn't Enough (featuring TJ Macias) Sep 30, 2019

DISCLAIMER: This episode was holstered for a while thanks to some incredibly poor-timing, followed by a lot of other issues both related and unrelated to the show. It is about Luke Walton's allegations, and this episode may have conversations and language that go into some uncomfortable places. It is mentioned in the episode, but you will see that an example we use aged poorly because it was recorded literally about 12 hours before an example we used (DeMarcus Cousins) had his own issues come to light. We decided to keep the conversation intact, however, and while that aspect aged poorly, the conversation around it is still very important. Brad (@therealbradg) is joined by TJ Macias (@pocket_siren) as the two discuss the looming cloud that is the Luke Walton situation, what sports can do about these situations, and when our priorities regarding sports become skewed. It's an admittedly uneasy thing to talk about, and while we try to stay inside our lane, these are very much our own individual thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices.
