NBA Draft Preview Show About Michelle Branch
We're still hungover from the NBA Season and don't know shit about the Draft results (because we don't live three years in the future). Jamel walks us through WNBA headlines like "What is the Commissioners Cup?" and "How are you supposed to care about winning when youre teammate is detained?". Then the buds share their thoughts on the recent NBA trade and most popular pornhub search "Christain Wood" before jumping into the important topics like "What is Michelle Branch doing right now?" Thanks for listening to this in-between "The Lowe Post" and "Hoop Collective". Happy basketball!
