Whatever you think of Simba, it's SOOO much better than the CBS desk show if Chuck isn't on.

I thought they were going to let that run all day but looking at their schedule it looks like it was only on 3 times for an average of about 40 minutes each. I guess that's about as much as you see of a studio show.

But 60% of it was Jalen telling stories with Jacoby yelling "don't get fired" from the other room.

Jalen is pretty great, listening to pro athletes just talk casually and tell stories is entertaining. Bill and House are tolerable. Who the **** invited this Rembert piece of ****? Guy isn't even a casualfan.jpeg, he has like zero input relating to the games and looks like he just came from a WMD session with Bubbles and Johnny.

Rembert over laughs at jokes while contributing very little funny stuff himself. Exactly the thing I hate irl.

Didn't they just do a thing about all time Chappelle Show skits?


Simmons didn't even know "F*** yo couch"

i guess i'm in the minority. i like rembert. i just think he doesn't have the confidence to step out. but he's smart, doesn't put up with bill's stupidest **** and is definitely not cut from the same cloth as the other three.

Haven't listened to the Adam Carolla podcast for a long time but I just fired one up and they have a guest, I think it's Dave Dameshek (sp?), who keeps imitating Simmons. He pipes in here and there with, "Love sitting next to you and hearing you crack jokes ACEMAN!" or "I'll drive you to Vegas ACEMAN!" It's a terrible imitation of his voice and not very creative but for some reason really funny.

Overall this article is too gimmicky to be good, but one line had me LOLing

"...I’m almost positive that Vinny Del Negro is Hodor. I really like the idea of Del Negro calling a timeout, getting the whole team circled around him, then pointing at the clipboard and saying, “Hodor.”"

This is an old one where they do it. I laughed at the last one where they talked about Simmons driving at like 100mph with no seatbelt from Vegas.

Most of the comparisons were terrible imo

Lakers = Lannisters is the most obvious comparison in the world. Their colors are even gold and purple ffs and they're the richest team itl.

Spurs = Starks

Thunder = Dothraki
