The Not So SMALL Talk Podcast w/ Ron Windham: Recent Episodes
Ron Windham
One faithful night I had what most folks would call a “light bulb moment”. It was late, and I had just spent the last 20 mins intensely arguing basketball with a friend via text. My thoughts were all over the place, every other word was misspelled and then I thought to myself... there’s got to be a better way. And out of that fire was born this pod. The idea is to bring on friends and talk what interests us. From sports to shows to life... you name it, we talk it.
And we’re BACK! We took sabbatical, but now we are back, baby. And the NBA chatter is hot! Brought in the experts to dive into the trending NBA debates and pick some conference finals and finals champs. It felt so good to be back!
Celtics are back! And they don’t suck! And they actually like each other??? What!?? Yes it’s true. First part of this pod is all Celtics talk and then we transition into a fantasy redraft. Get pumped!
Took a couple weeks off but we back! And better than ever. The NBA season is upon us and we have plenty of hot takes to go around. It’s never to early for predictions... or is it...
Brought Barbo on to talk League of Weenies. It’s a unique league with an extra QB slot and points for completions. Made for a really fun conversation. Always challenges with trying recap an entire league and a draft in one pod but I think we did ok. Hope is for next time to bring in another league member and focus more on matchups and individual teams. But considering we threw this together in 30 mins, I think we killed it!
We got a newby on the pod— welcome Mr. Banks! Today we rap about week 3, while evaluating the plethora of trades in the league.
Week 3 is in the books! We had a monster trade right after this pod between Cam I Am and the Roadrunners. Cam sent Zeke to RORO for Lamar Jackson and Kelce. That marks only the second trade in this league. Hopefully it opens up the trading flood gates and gives this league and pod more content to bish over. Enjoy the pod!
Nothing makes my week and or scratches my fantasy football itch like talking to Papa Frank. We cover Air Force PT tests (? Huh) and minimal FFB expert analysis. Mostly just dissecting teams that aren’t ours and talking trash. Esco next week? Calling more Happers!
Week #2 is in the books and Melody is like’n what she is seeing! A lot of player movement in this league... welcome to 2019? And already some drama. It’s only week 2 but it’s already heating up and 0-3 is nooooooot where anyone wants to be! Let’s get it boys!
Life can’t always be sports and rainbows. It’s about time we get real and talk “life” on this pod. Specifically, look into our 30s and discuss our fears... things we are excited about... and our priorities for our families. Sit down. Kick back. Grab some popcorn... Because the talk is about to get real real real “small talk”.
Before I piss off the comish... this isn’t our league name. But it’s better than our league name. So there ya go. Wk 1 has came and went and L’s were given out. This is a 12 team 0.3 ppr. And very competitive (I think). Plenty of trash talk and fantasy nuggets to go around in this pod. Buckle up... it’s a ride.
‘Tis the szn for NBA excitement! On the dawn of the NBA draft, I chop it up with Dluc and Nate Chris, where we talk big NBA and what KD & Klay injuries mean for free agency. We also talk about outlooks for most of next year’s contenders.
Wk 1 is officially in the books and team CAM I AM has already gone from first to last in the rankings. Sorry Nate. During this pod we go through each matchup giving out awards and providing halfass analysis. Enjoy. Or don’t. Either way fantasy football is here!
All credit go to Bill Simmons and his Rewatchables Podcast. I’m stealing his idea and format b/c it’s by far my most favorite pod. Identifying the most rewatchable movies, rewatching and then talking about what makes them so rewatchable. This episodes features an 80s classic— Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey!
Life can’t always be sports and rainbows. It’s about time we get real and talk “life” on this pod. Specifically, look into our 30s and discuss our fears... things we are excited about... and our priorities for our families. Sit down. Kick back. Grab some popcorn... Because the talk is about to get real real real “small talk”.
Anddd we’re back with Yellowstone— Cory Bennet and I breakdown Season 2, episodes 2-3. We talk about our favorite scenes, character development and much more.
So we shot for the stars on this one with trying to have 7 peeps on at once... but sometimes settling for the moon ain’t so bad. Tons of good content— lots of valuable pics and some questionable ones... really Lamar Miller in the 5th? I preselected the first 4 rounds and had the guys inherit their team and focus on the mid rounders aka sleepers and flyers. Enjoy!
Mock draft numero uno is in the books! It took us a bit to figure out our format and we did a little bit of NFL talk on the front end but eventually we got around to the mock (25:12)— we did 4 full rounds with 4 live drafters and the rest auto. More than enough half-ass analysis and LE hottest takes to keep you entertained.
We’ve officially kicked off the FFB Season! I brought on 2 wily vet commissioners and we talked about the aspects of creating a league— our likes and dislikes, and a few funny stories inbetween.
The hottest summer ‘19 TV show is back baby! Season 2! Cory and I dive into the drama that is Yellowstone accompanied by several rabbit holes and side bar life discussions.
Absolute rant session. This is a me pod all about defending Danny Ainge and all the decisions he’s made over the last couple years as Prez of Celtics basketball ops. To include but not limited to NOT trading for Kawhi or AD.
Finally! My very first Celtics pod with my boy David Lucas aka Dluc. Unfortunately the Celtics are in Kyrie turmoil/purgatory BUT the offseason is almost upon us so there is definitely room for optimism. We also discuss AD and KD what if’s... and should the Rockets just run it back?
Air Force Academy Class of 2012 gather to discuss our 20s— specifically the first quarter of our 20s at the Academy. Guests: Phil Ofili, Troy Danno, Colton Reid, Adam Parenka, David Lucas, Jon Warzeka and Jon Escamilla.
During this episode I chat it up with 2 old high school buddies where we discuss hot topics in the NBA on the dawn of the NBA Finals and then we go in depth on what is an Elite QB. Specifically what is our methodology for our list of Elite QBs.
