They are funny, easy-listening episodes that could drop any day of the week, so stay on your toes.
Dax-approved episodes
In Episode 6 of Podsauce, Dax recommends listening to their most recent episode, “Episode 27 – The Game of Life,” where just the threesome of Adam, Stranger Zack, and Brac talk about their favorite moves of the NBA free agency. There’s lots of Suns and CP3 talk as he signed a four-year deal with the league runner-ups and more fake Ben Simmons trades as rumors swirl. They also chat about the relatively new Play-In Tournament for the Finals this season, what teams are locked in, and who will need to duke it out at the end of the regular season. Dax also suggests listening to “Episode 26 – All White People Are White” and “Episode 25 – Would You Trade X for Ben Simmons.”
For a hit of sports news and entertainment, “Ball Sometimes Lie” shows up every time.
