Dumb question, but fate told me to ask it. I was listening to an old AFE on a walk and Orlando Jones came up a bunch, then you talked about the SkyForce. Then I saw "Orlando" painted on the sidewalk. It could only mean 1 thing, I think; you guys need to get RJ Hampton on the pod, is that possible?

2024-10-12 15:43:57 +0000 UTCI actually retract this question. I think it’s better for it to never be answered. But when you do your preview ep, please account for the fact that Paul George is not just a good signing, but is replacing Tobias who fuckin turbo-sucks

2024-10-01 16:27:20 +0000 UTCI honestly was just interested in seeing if Ian is psyched about it. It coulda been yes and we wouldn’t have gotten the hawks and lakers stuff.

2024-09-28 02:23:14 +0000 UTCI asked the dumbest question and got 20 minutes and 8 different stories. This is why we listen.

2024-09-28 02:21:15 +0000 UTCYoooooo, now Lowe is out at ESPN?
Vincent Van Hoorick
2024-09-26 18:57:44 +0000 UTCNot to throw shade at colleagues, but the recent wave of exits from The Ringer is starting to feel like a pattern. KOC’s move really caught me off guard. Is this just about money, or is there something else going on?
Vincent Van Hoorick
2024-09-26 16:28:02 +0000 UTCA lot of people don’t think Vince Carter deserves his jersey retired by Toronto, I think he obviously does, who’s a player that you think should have his jersey retired that some people might object too?
Joe Yoder
2024-09-26 15:39:28 +0000 UTCHave they said if they're just bringing back the Fire team name?

2024-09-26 14:36:47 +0000 UTCAre you in the Fastbreak Breakfast negative fantasy league? haha
Jay Gerrick
2024-09-26 14:33:38 +0000 UTCI’m in a fantasy NBA league where you only get points for bad things (missed shots, turnovers, fouls, ejections, etc). Which NBA players do you think are going to have a bad season on the court but put up numbers in my fantasy league?
Arthur Mueller
2024-09-26 13:43:36 +0000 UTCTips or no tips in a game of 21? Also what are your favorite non traditional basketball games to play? i.e. Horse, Around the World, Knockout
Andrew Reck
2024-09-26 05:50:57 +0000 UTCThoughts on the WNBA playoffs so far? I’ve been enjoying the games so far and I’d love to hear what y’all think, but it’s also completely understandable if you haven’t found or made the time for it yet
Abe vanderBent
2024-09-26 02:05:41 +0000 UTCIs wingspan the most important combine type measurable?
Roger knox
2024-09-26 00:51:41 +0000 UTCWhen Seattle and Vegas become expansion teams, which two Western Conference teams should shift to the East and how would divisions shake out? Like if Memphis joined the East, they should be in the South with Miami and Orlando and Atlanta, DC should be Atlantic, and it's kinda dumb that Toronto and Detroit aren't in the same division.

2024-09-25 23:08:45 +0000 UTCHow far back in time would you need to go to be the best GM in basketball?
Maxfield Rotert
2024-09-25 22:27:39 +0000 UTCWhat team this season do you think will be the biggest disappointment relative to expectations?
Matthew Anstatt
2024-09-25 21:52:47 +0000 UTCHow the shit do I get Brandon Ingram off my pelicans, and how is Zach gonna fight a dolphin if he’s scared of the ocean?
Quinn Verret
2024-09-25 21:34:29 +0000 UTCIf there was a winner-take-all Gladiator competition to see who is taking over Woj’s role, who wins? What are the games (competitive tweet typing, most impactful block on Twitter, best ‘phone propped facing the shower’ setup, fastest to answer the phone when Leon Rose calls)?
Chris Pinto
2024-09-25 20:58:26 +0000 UTCWHAT MORE DOES ISAAC HAVE TO DO TO GET HIS NAME ON THE LITTLE PICTURE THINGY?! He may have initially been planned as just the producer as said in the first episode but he's a valued member of the pod (knowledge of beef stew still being in the league notwithstanding) !!!!!!
C Porch
2024-09-25 20:37:49 +0000 UTCIs there a basketball focused topic that is too “inside baseball” for all fantasy everything that you think would make for a fun “very special episode” of AFE on the Emotional feed with Special Guests David and Sean.
Luis
2024-09-25 20:01:24 +0000 UTCIf they made an NBA jam with the rosters right now. Who has the best twosome. Who would you play as? And who’s the pair that in 10 years you’d look back and be like I can’t believe that happened?
Kevin Fennell
2024-09-25 19:59:16 +0000 UTCDo you know if comedy writers work as speech writers for people working in DC? If not, do you think comedy writer should be working on capitol hill or are all the speakers too stiff to deliver anything comedic? Basically is/should there be a comedy writer working for the president?
Mark Ordner
2024-09-25 19:48:26 +0000 UTCSending love and cheers from Oregon! Hope you three are having a good day. For all: What’s your favorite shoe color to wear? For Ian: In its prime, what was your favorite Big-Ass Sandwich? For Harper: I’m curious what are your thoughts on presidential debates? Which All-Star Weekend event could you compare it to? For Isaac: What ballin’-on-a-budget program would you recommend to someone who is hoping to create “podcasts” to send out to friends in a fantasy league?
AJD
2024-09-25 19:43:00 +0000 UTCDo you guys have any plans to bring in occasional guests like David or Jamel to talk about their beloved teams? Or Natie Kolan!? Orrrr Lethal Shooter??
Mikhael
2024-09-25 19:42:01 +0000 UTCLook I asked this a while ago and I feel like a doofus coming back with it, but I also think it's a good question so whatever. In honor of Paul George replacing Tobias Harris on the Sixers, what's the biggest one-for-one upgrade you guys have made in your own lives?
David Mulhern
2024-09-25 19:40:59 +0000 UTCI’d love to hear about Dana’s Jeopardy experience, including study regimen and whether she thinks she’ll get called back for second chance (she should!)
Joe Ferrentino
2024-09-25 19:40:39 +0000 UTCThis Q is directed toward Ian and Isaac. Have you seen Action Jackson? AFE has done many action movie based drafts and David had finally drafted Jerico "Action" Jackson as an Action Hero name. Zach, please sell them on this movie that I have learned to love from Cinephobe doing this movie. Also, which team do see creating the most drama this season?
Mark Ordner
2024-09-25 19:37:19 +0000 UTCwhich now defunct brand had the best basketball shoe? i’ve been flipping through old slam magazines, and there’s so many i’ve never heard of (ps. i’m a year younger than super-prod. iceman, so he may not have heard of some of them either)
Tyler
2024-09-25 19:36:30 +0000 UTCWhat is the dumbest and/or scariest thing you and your friends ever did growing up? The kind of shit that still gives you chills thinking about.
Pulin Joshi
2024-09-25 19:36:14 +0000 UTCAs a hornets fan, am I a bad person for being ready to ditch LaMelo and transition to the Brandon Miller era?
Zein Nour
2024-09-25 19:33:17 +0000 UTCDo you have a non star player who you instinctively root for independent of team allegiance, pure vibes. Eg mine is Steven Adams
Zein Nour
2024-09-25 19:30:27 +0000 UTCOther than Wemby do you think we will see any first time all stars this year? Do you think anyone in the league has played their last all star game?
