In the exciting conclusion to Part 1, Dan and Ken get together to talk about things that have hardly anything to do with what was going on in the earlier episode.

What, in fact, did they talk about? That’s for you to decide. Or, rather, to listen to.

Songs from the episode:

“The Plan” - Richard Hell and the Voidoids
“Let’s Take A Trip Together” - Morphine
“Roygbiv” - Boards of Canada

For the first time on FreeDarko Presents: The Disciples of Clyde NBA Podcast, we have split an episode into two parts.

Why? Well, that’s for you to decide. Or something we decided. It was a decision, that’s for sure.

Speaking of decisions, there was an important one made by our guests on this part of the episode, Bethlehem Shoals and Spencer Hall of Every Day Should be Saturday. They might decide to announce a potential secret project, right here on the show.

What will they decide? To announce the project? To do a project at all? To keep a secret?

You’ll have to listen, and probably donate some money to charity, to really find out.

Also make sure to check later for Part 2 of this episode, where Ken and I decide to do a second part of a podcast episode.

Songs from the Episode:

“The Half” - Dennis Brown
“Life Goes By” - Madlib
“Elevators (Me and You)” - Outkast
“Winds With Hands” - Pelican
“Summa Dis” - Freddie Gibbs

Our centennial episode happened to be recorded minutes after Lebron confirmed the rumors and signed with the Miami Heat. It was a fitting coincidence. Or not. Whatever.

The topic was, of course, why Lebron personally hates Ken and Dan. The final verdict: Jealousy.

Ken mentions this Jack McCallum piece about the Le-Spectacle and you should read it.

Other topics in and around this issue:

Why did this whole episode piss people off?

Why did the media lose its mind?

What is the future for the Heat?

What is the future for the teams he spurned?

And to top it all off, Ken and Dan mark this important milestone by reminiscing about their humble beginnings and then offering heartfelt appreciation to all applicable parties, including you. It really has been a pleasure.

Songs from the episode:

“Don’t Think Twice” - Bob Dylan (and various artists)
“Jump” - Aretha Franklin
“Mambo Sun” - T-Rex

Dan and Ken skip the end of the blowout in Game 6, and get ready for Game 7.

Can Rondo or Gasol be counted on? Is Perkins going to play? Can Ken’s baby keep his face out of electrical outlets?

A listener took up our challenge to look into stats. We thank him by mispronouncing his name.

Also, the strange resignation of Steve Kerr. Read here for Ken’s thoughts on how to be a GM.

And other silliness.

Dan and Ken get serious and talk NBA Finals through three games.

Dan and Shoals get together to talk NBA Finals. Well, first they get the so-called free agent “summit” out of the way. Then they get into things like the emergence of Rajon Rondo, the brilliance of Kobe Bryant, the relative toughness of Pau Gasol, and the useful insanity of Ron Artest.

Yes, it’s true. We actually discuss these real life basketball issues. On this podcast. For real. But don’t worry, we still manage to make some obscure and awkward jokes. We wouldn’t want to let you down.

Songs from the episode:

“Why Worry” - Israel Vibration
“The Kid With The Replaceable Head” - Condo F*cks
“Fun House” - The Stooges

Dan and Ken haven’t been together for a while. So long, in fact, that Dan manages to screw up the episode numbering. Or did he? (he did) It’s a mystery! (it isn’t)

In this episode, random NBA-related stories are shared. The conference finals are discussed, in particular how the Suns have made it a series, a strange theory about Pau Gasol, and a conventional theory about Rajon Rondo.

We also talk about the potential head coaching candidacy of Patrick Ewing. Amongst other mysteries.

This is like the final episode of Lost. Except we all live at the end, and Ken doesn’t turn out to be Jesus.

Songs from the episode:

“Bombast” - The Fall
“Moves” - The New Pornographers
“Sun” - Caribou
“Damaged” - Primal Scream
“Fantasy” - the xx
“Gumpshun” - Big K.R.I.T.

Ken and Dan get together to talk Round 1, and how everything seems a little formless, lacking overarching narrative. Assuming we know what that word means.

Along the way, they touch on the disappointing Nuggets, the underwhelming Lakers, Game 5 blowouts, and a really unfortunate incident in Ken’s life.

And they say goodbye to the Bobcats, Bulls, and Heat. With nary a tear.

Songs from the episode:

“Oops Upside Your Head” - Sean Price
“Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)” - Jimi Hendrix
“South Mouth” - Jesus Lizard
“Vomit” - MF Doom
