We Predicted the First Round of the NBA Playoffs Pt.2 + Gambling our Savings on the Playoffs | Ep. 7

Guys, it finally happened...We got our first ever Ethan sandwich (a miracle on par with when USA's hockey team beat Russia in 1980) as Ethan, Samuel, and Ethan predict the first round of the NBA playoffs. Since this is part two, the boys preview the 1-8 and 2-7 matchups in the Western and Eastern Conferences (including the juicy Warriors-Rockets series). Then the boys draft NBA playoff teams based on who they think will win the most games in this year's playoffs with money on the line (like countless stacks of cash cause this Ethan sandwich is rich rich)

We Predicted the First Round of the NBA Playoffs Pt. 1 | Ep. 6

The NBA playoffs are here!!! And the Ethans are pumped out of their doggone minds to break down each and every first-round matchup (and I know half of the world is pumped out of their doggone minds to hear their breakdown). In this episode, E^2 discusses four first-round series: Nuggets-Clippers, Pacers-Bucks, Lakers-Timberwolves, and Knicks-Pistons. Listen in for many deep insights and for laughs and giggles (they are both wise and humorous, what more could you ask for peak entertainment)

The 2025 Ethan Awards | Ep. 5

This episode features a special airing of the greatest award show on earth (Madonna probably said that)...The Ethan Awards!!! Ethan and Ethan give out the golden giraffe to NBA players who deserve their unique awards like the "Best Sledgehammer Guy" and "Draymond Green" awards (take that sucky normal NBA awards). This first-ever iteration of the Ethan Awards is something you CAN'T miss (even if you have to skip class fr)

NFL tinder | Ep. 4

In this special Career Backups episode, love is in the air as Ethan and Samuel (yes he is in fact still alive) swipe left or right on NFL teams! If the boys swipe right, they believe that the franchise is in a great place. However, if they swipe left, they do not like the current state of the NFL franchise (basically they think the team is undateable and ugly as heck). Listen in for a great (and of course deranged) time!
