Wow, that 10 minutes of PS5 content to begin was ABSORBING.
Hi ! Thanks guy for your content. You are the bright light in this dark times. Not only you adress basketball topics in beautiful ways, on top of that you provide human content and perspective on many aspect of life. Thanks for sharing your life and thought with us. Keep on rockin Congrats for your own feed! Well diserved 🙌🙌
I love this podcast. you guys do a great job with content and guests. I plan on listening to every one. My only suggestion would be to try and limit the total amount of people on the podcast to 3. I think 4 is too many as often the people seem to be fighting over each other to speak and people get interrupted often. Other than that it's awesome!
ei JJ, we gonna miss you in Philly!! Good luck!!! Eduardo, from Brazil.
I'm sure there's many Aussie listeners that would love to hear your teammates Ben Simmons and James Ennis III on the show
Today I got to listen to two of my heroes growing up, LOVED every second of this!
Catching up on my JJ Redick Podcast and loved that he listed The Holiday (#1 all-time), The Family Stone and Love Actually as his top Christmas movies. How serendipitous.
JJ can we here more about duke on your podcast. thanks
