The Ball Players Podcast
With Josiah now on paid leave, Brian and Zach discuss the new details of the NBA reopening and the ever more realistic MLB reopening. The NFL kickoff is only 98 days away and the likelihood of disappointment is discussed. Zach caved and watched corn hole, and Brian tells about the time the AAF robbed him.
Josiah and Zach spew propaganda about why Brian was missing this week (it was definitely a paid vacation). They give their trash bags of the week and also carry out our first ever interview with a surprise guest.
With Brian on a paid vacation for this week, Zach and Josiah discuss the Jets Joe Flacco signing free from any rants. Josiah also comes out as a flat earther and tries taking Brian's spot as the man with the bold takes.
The guys give their thoughts on last Sunday's episodes of The Last Dance as the show heads into its final weekend. The NBA and MLB are getting close to reopening as more details come out about their resumption plans. Conor McGregor went on a Twitter tirade and the guys discuss. For some reason corn hole keeps getting brought up, as the debate about whether or not its a sport rages on.
UFC 249 was electric (0:44-11:40), a lot of pro leagues are getting ready to introduce their resumption plans (11:41-22:45), the KBO is still the only live sport regularly aired (22:46-24:07), and cornhole is in fact a sport (24:09-24:55). A discussion on The Last Dance turns into an NBA jersey conversation (38:00-48:15) and Josiah can't stop trying to start fights with other podcasts (52:37-53:25).
Zach, Brian, and Josiah give their analysis of the NFL schedule release (0:57-14:22), along with detailing some off-field drama that has happened in the NFL the past week (14:46-19:20). The KBO is the newest baseball sensation, and also the only live televised sport (25:51-29:50), and somehow a shallow discussion about the UFC turns into the hottest pseudosports debate of the centry (43:00-48:40). Also featured: trashbags (and king) of the week (48:45-54:30).
The guys discuss their podcast name change (0:25-1:20), give an update on the NFL QB carousel and discuss the possibility of changes to the NFL season (2:17-11:55). Also discussed is the potential radical changes to the MLB season (13:10-24:13), the NCAA rule changes and what it means for video games (24:13-28:08), and an update on The Last Dance and the NBA where Brian calls out Kyrie Irving (29:50-42:35).
In the inaugural episode of the podcast, Zach, Brian, and Josiah breakdown the 2020 NFL draft. They give their full analysis including winners, losers, reaches and steals of the draft. Also discussed: what to expect from the podcast in the future.
