Great pod for lots of reasons
Always look forward to these pods- it’s like spending 1.5-2 hrs with a friend who does the long walks, likes Pearl Jam , Celtics, hoops and pro hoops specifically. As an “old head” teacher and coach , I don’t have many to talk deeper pro hoops and what’s happening in NBA. Guests are phenomenal and look forward to varied topics and interests! Love the times you had your dad on during playoffs, coverage with Rusillo, Wylds, Doc and other Ringer hoops guys!Thank you so much! CELTICS and Pearl Jam fan in Tennessee
Best pod!
Love the time with Doc. Bring back Jackie McMullin!!
