Ep. 037: The Fix Is In

Remember when I said we’d have this done by 7:15? Um…

The Basketball Jones — Episode 037

Well we’re a little late. (Sorry.) And we’re definitely a little rusty. (Sorry again.) And when I really stop to think about it, I realize we sound sort of Skype-ee and we have no idea what we’re actually doing and– SHUT UP! The NBA is back and our daily morning podcast — ‘The Fix’ — is in!

On today’s inaugural show, Tas and I discuss — in no particular order: the Bulls domination, the Heat’s bling, the Lakers’ hair, Amare’s knee, and that odd black man who introduced the ring ceremony.

We also answer some listeners’ mail, pick our stat-line of the night, and kick ourselves for laying money on the Suns.

Um, at least I think we do. It’s really too early to tell…

    “Where’s the perriwinkle”….I love it. You’re off to a good start.

    Thank you.

    PS It might seem a bit demanding seeing the undertaking you’ve just, well, undertaken…but if my memory serves me correctly a Lost Tapes promise was thrown out a while back with a fall release scheduled. No pressure just an update on where this stands would be nice.

    PPS I’ll start paying for my subscription if you a) post Monday to Friday like you say b) deliver us some lost tapes footage and c) take back that hockey comment.

    You can book that!

    Nicely done fellas! One of the highlights of this podcast was hearing TBJ’s lovely voice, Caroline say, “Honestly, who doesn’t want to fuck Mutumbo?” This, despite the fact that it was a slight misquote.

  5. J.E. Skeets at 10:38 am on 11.01.2006

    Ben: Monday-to-Friday is a lock … the Lost Tapes will appear when you least expect ‘em … hockey can still go to hell.

    Jeff: JD dropped “sex” for “fuck” on purpose. (Man that was a lot of fun to type…)

  6. Fornelli at 12:23 pm on 11.01.2006

    Honestly? I don’t want to fuck Mutombo.

    Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to hold me. It makes me feel so safe.

    Great stuff, as always. But I was kind of thrown for a loop at the end.

    Tas: “And remember, do not give up the gerbil unless you have a damn good reason to.”

    I can’t listen 5 days a week unless you keep it tight.

    I agree the Lakes arena was much darker that previous years… reminds me of MSG on TV - you can only see a few rows into the arena there.

  9. Skeets, Tas and JD are morning people | Detroit Bad Boys at 3:05 pm on 11.01.2006

    […] Apparently Skeets and Tas are morning people: The Basketball Jones is promising a new podcast every freaking day by 7am. If you’ve never listened in, do so now before they get bought out by XM or Sirius. […]

  10. Tas Melas at 4:15 pm on 11.01.2006

    Gerbils are a delicacy in Guam Matt.

  11. Seth at 5:42 pm on 11.01.2006

    Skeets, I love the beginning of that podcast. You spit hot fire, man.

  12. J.E. Skeets at 6:19 pm on 11.01.2006

    Did anyone “get” who I was impersonating in that first headline piece?

  13. Howie at 6:20 pm on 11.01.2006

    Thank you Benjammin’ for being the brave soul to bring up the Lost Tapes… I believe I ran my limit of harassing Skeets about it (assuming we’re talking about the same tapes…??)

    Anyways, solid P-cast, love the new intros and as always, I love you guys. I mean, love.

  14. Howie at 6:22 pm on 11.01.2006

    Skeets, were you trying to do that guy off screen giving “special” intros for the team at last night’s ring ceremony?

  15. Wes at 6:30 pm on 11.01.2006

    Oh my god. My question got answered and you said my name on the show - I’m famous!

    Seriously though, LeBron has to play on opening night. He just has to.

  16. J.E. Skeets at 6:34 pm on 11.01.2006

    Howie: Thank. You. (Yes.)

    Wes: Screw that, you were already famous. I mean, we’ve had you on the show before, no? … Kidding … Thanks for the Q.

  17. Benjammin' at 6:44 pm on 11.01.2006

    Yep Howie..same tapes. Still lost.
