Ep. 229: Gather ‘Round The Fire


The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 229 (.mp3)

On today’s final show of 2007, Tas and I discuss: LeBron and Kobe’s three-minute duel; who could use the grizzled services of Chris Webber and Gary Payton; whether or not we’d wear a Rudy Gay jersey; and much, much more.

We also hand out some Christmas gifts, Whoa Wade it up and cheerfully give Vegas more of our money.

Happy Holidays everyone! See you in ‘08!

Today’s overall rating: 5 All-Star Shimmies!

And oh, not that this really matters, but we’re getting punk’d in the second round of the Sports Blog of the Year tournament. So if you care to make our inevitable loss look just a ‘lil bit closer, get over there and vote for The Basketball Jones (scroll down) now. Cheers.

    Best parts of today’s show:

    1. You guys were clearly drunk on nog;
    2. JD fuckin’ BROUGHT IT with the XMas theme (Waits, Pogues and RUN DMC?);
    3. Finally, some love for elf cum; and
    4. Since no one is around today, I could listen at work.

    Happy Holidays, Jones.

    That was probably more like 6 Shimmies and 3 mini-Sneeds. Outrageous.

    “Chris Kaman? You get a Ball Claw!”

    Possibly the funniest podcast yet. A half-dozen eye-watering moments, and I agree: JD FUCKIN’ BROUGHT IT.

    “Would you tuck in a Cocksucker jersey?”

    And, yes, I will be randomly posting Jones quotes throughout the day.

    My highlight was when my 6 year old asked at lunch “Daddy, who is Rudy Cocksucker? And who does he play for?”

    To which my brother in law answered. “No, that’s pronounced Robert Whorry.”

    Enjoy the break guys.
    The rest of us who will be jonesing will have to rely on on old podcasts to see us thru or just consumate ginormous amounts of pr0n to compensate.

    since we’re quoting, my favorite was the scoffing tone in Tas’ voice when he said re: emails

    “what Skeets, did I ruin your reputation?”

  8. J.E. Skeets at 1:29 pm on 12.21.2007

    Respect, Matt. Respect.

    Sincerely,
    Skeets

    Five all-star shimmies is being modest. Well done, guys. Well done.

    Seriously, what were you drinking last night? Because clearly, you two were still drunk this morning.

    “So they’re roastnuts now?”
