Drew Reed-Moutray

Dumb question, but fate told me to ask it. I was listening to an old AFE on a walk and Orlando Jones came up a bunch, then you talked about the SkyForce. Then I saw "Orlando" painted on the sidewalk. It could only mean 1 thing, I think; you guys need to get RJ Hampton on the pod, is that possible?

David Mulhern

I actually retract this question. I think it’s better for it to never be answered. But when you do your preview ep, please account for the fact that Paul George is not just a good signing, but is replacing Tobias who fuckin turbo-sucks

Joe

I honestly was just interested in seeing if Ian is psyched about it. It coulda been yes and we wouldn’t have gotten the hawks and lakers stuff.

Joe

I asked the dumbest question and got 20 minutes and 8 different stories. This is why we listen.

Vincent Van Hoorick

Yoooooo, now Lowe is out at ESPN?

Vincent Van Hoorick

Not to throw shade at colleagues, but the recent wave of exits from The Ringer is starting to feel like a pattern. KOC’s move really caught me off guard. Is this just about money, or is there something else going on?

Joe Yoder

A lot of people don’t think Vince Carter deserves his jersey retired by Toronto, I think he obviously does, who’s a player that you think should have his jersey retired that some people might object too?

Jay Gerrick

Have they said if they're just bringing back the Fire team name?

Jay Gerrick

Are you in the Fastbreak Breakfast negative fantasy league? haha

Arthur Mueller

I’m in a fantasy NBA league where you only get points for bad things (missed shots, turnovers, fouls, ejections, etc). Which NBA players do you think are going to have a bad season on the court but put up numbers in my fantasy league?

Andrew Reck

Tips or no tips in a game of 21? Also what are your favorite non traditional basketball games to play? i.e. Horse, Around the World, Knockout

Abe vanderBent

Thoughts on the WNBA playoffs so far? I’ve been enjoying the games so far and I’d love to hear what y’all think, but it’s also completely understandable if you haven’t found or made the time for it yet

Roger knox

Is wingspan the most important combine type measurable?

beardjam

When Seattle and Vegas become expansion teams, which two Western Conference teams should shift to the East and how would divisions shake out? Like if Memphis joined the East, they should be in the South with Miami and Orlando and Atlanta, DC should be Atlantic, and it's kinda dumb that Toronto and Detroit aren't in the same division.

Maxfield Rotert

How far back in time would you need to go to be the best GM in basketball?

Matthew Anstatt

What team this season do you think will be the biggest disappointment relative to expectations?

Quinn Verret

How the shit do I get Brandon Ingram off my pelicans, and how is Zach gonna fight a dolphin if he’s scared of the ocean?

Chris Pinto

If there was a winner-take-all Gladiator competition to see who is taking over Woj’s role, who wins? What are the games (competitive tweet typing, most impactful block on Twitter, best ‘phone propped facing the shower’ setup, fastest to answer the phone when Leon Rose calls)?

C Porch

WHAT MORE DOES ISAAC HAVE TO DO TO GET HIS NAME ON THE LITTLE PICTURE THINGY?! He may have initially been planned as just the producer as said in the first episode but he's a valued member of the pod (knowledge of beef stew still being in the league notwithstanding) !!!!!!

Luis

Is there a basketball focused topic that is too “inside baseball” for all fantasy everything that you think would make for a fun “very special episode” of AFE on the Emotional feed with Special Guests David and Sean.

Kevin Fennell

If they made an NBA jam with the rosters right now. Who has the best twosome. Who would you play as? And who’s the pair that in 10 years you’d look back and be like I can’t believe that happened?

Mark Ordner

Do you know if comedy writers work as speech writers for people working in DC? If not, do you think comedy writer should be working on capitol hill or are all the speakers too stiff to deliver anything comedic? Basically is/should there be a comedy writer working for the president?

AJD

Sending love and cheers from Oregon! Hope you three are having a good day. For all: What’s your favorite shoe color to wear? For Ian: In its prime, what was your favorite Big-Ass Sandwich? For Harper: I’m curious what are your thoughts on presidential debates? Which All-Star Weekend event could you compare it to? For Isaac: What ballin’-on-a-budget program would you recommend to someone who is hoping to create “podcasts” to send out to friends in a fantasy league?

Mikhael

Do you guys have any plans to bring in occasional guests like David or Jamel to talk about their beloved teams? Or Natie Kolan!? Orrrr Lethal Shooter??

David Mulhern

Look I asked this a while ago and I feel like a doofus coming back with it, but I also think it's a good question so whatever. In honor of Paul George replacing Tobias Harris on the Sixers, what's the biggest one-for-one upgrade you guys have made in your own lives?

Joe Ferrentino

I’d love to hear about Dana’s Jeopardy experience, including study regimen and whether she thinks she’ll get called back for second chance (she should!)

Mark Ordner

This Q is directed toward Ian and Isaac. Have you seen Action Jackson? AFE has done many action movie based drafts and David had finally drafted Jerico "Action" Jackson as an Action Hero name. Zach, please sell them on this movie that I have learned to love from Cinephobe doing this movie. Also, which team do see creating the most drama this season?

Tyler

which now defunct brand had the best basketball shoe? i’ve been flipping through old slam magazines, and there’s so many i’ve never heard of (ps. i’m a year younger than super-prod. iceman, so he may not have heard of some of them either)
