All-time ep. This is what podcasting should be. Combinations of people you never thought would get together. And the sole purpose wasn’t just to promote anything

Absolute banger of an episode. I didn't know Richardson was such a deep comedy fan. Hopefully this is the first of a great run of appearances on other comedy podcasts. Get this man on Stavvy's World, Monday Morning Podcast, Take Your Shoes Off, and whatever other comedian is a fan of basketball

I am a giant NBA fan, so I actually loved this episode. I know the basketball talk might frustrate other viewers, but RJ is one of the best people on ESPN right now. He's always been the sarcastic funny man there, but it's interesting to see his admiration for the stand up world and stories. I just wish he'd ease up on my Celtics once in a while 🤣

Cool to see RJ know so much about comedy and just being a great guest in general as far as entertaining!
Not going to lie, I thought I wasn't going to like this episode... Turns out one of my favorites, not a basketball fan but now I'm a fan of this dude... He isn't a BS dude, not like many who guests and claim to be a fan of comedy this due really is one... Quotes bits, knows history!!! I love it, real dude!!!
LOVE when the guest takes charge and advantage of the shows name and format hahahaha Rich Jeff didn’t come to play around

I listened to the pod so I didn't see it. Wonder if that's just the etiquette in his social circles of rich and famous where people tend to be particular - everyone just brings their own. So he fell into autopilot when talking and buzzed.

Love to hear a celebrity/athlete geek out on comedy topics and history. RJ approached this at the level most of us fans would and brought up insightful topics we'd love to hear about. Not at all what I expected when I turned on this episode. Maybe the best yet.

I don't think there's a way we can love mark more. he's great even totally out of his element. Mark clearly "pushed throught the tism" and now has the BEST convo reactions.

It’s weird how everyone likes one or the other of marks boyfriends. You don’t got to pick sides. (Even though I think joes a creep) You can like them both. (Enough with the pedo jokes while telling stories about how you love your niece) They’re both tall and funny. (Sam’s undeniable while joe’s …..around)
Even though he hates my city of Boston, RJ's comedy knowledge and love of Married With Children has made me a fan
I’m a big fan and regular consumer of this show. I enjoy all the episodes; guest(s) or no guest(s). I found this episode particularly interesting and entertaining because of Richard’s sports stories and I hope y’all can continue to have some cool professional athletes on the show in the future. Cheers!
We loved you in Cleveland RJ!!!!
This is my favorite podcast in a while, Richard seems like such a cool guy and they all got along so well, I hope they do it again, loved it!

One of my favorite episodes. Dick Jefferson is even better after ball.
lol at the giant cut when they started talking about Scott Skiles.
Glad to see RJ on a comedy cast! I remember an episode of The Jump on ESPN where he was on the panel and they had Arenas come on as a guest and they just killed it! Man those two together were cracking me up, and had me thinking they should host a show/pod together though theyd prob get cancelled 😂
Ima former college basketball player, played a bit in Mexico too. I can relate to this pod so much. Lol it felt like I was back in college just shootin’ the shit with my roommates who didn’t play sports lol this was easily my favorite episode for you guys!
“They brought black people back with cops” was the best line of the podcast 💀
This episode is fantastic! Even though I am not a huge fan of the NBA, Richard's captivating discussion has piqued my curiosity. Thank you for sharing this upload.
What a great guest.
I always liked him as a player. Now I realize Richard Jefferson is just straight up awesome! Comedy fanatic, smokes weed, video games and he loves drinking good booze?! 👏👏👏
Mark is too fvckin quick wit the jokes 💀💀💀
Dylan Mul”shaney” mark u are the best!!!
great episode. love the basketball talk and the dynamic really picks up in the second half
Damn I’ve been a Richard Jefferson fan for a decade and I had no idea how big of a fan of comedy he is.
RJ is such a good and funny dude. Glad to see him on my favorite pod. Comedy!
What a fucking trip. I have never heard of this man and after this I feel camaraderie with him. I respect SO MUCH how he has such a positive attitude towards learning and humor and stays humble the whole time.
OHHH what an amazing guest guys, great fucking pairing.

Damn this guys so chill and fit right in, wouldnt of guessed hes a comedy! fan. great ep seems like a good hang, cheers yall
Good ep! Not often you can get someone to hold a conversation for two hours. Jefferson controlled the flow the whole time.
I didn't expect this to become one of my favorite episodes,and thanks for the ring Richard
My fav podcast out there, love getting drunk with yall, and as a standup comedian, hearing the inside baseball of the industry or just funny stories always is a blast! Comedy!
That was a good ep! Richard Jefferson rules
Gonna go down as a classic
Right on time you guys. Thanks
Awesome, fellas! Love Richard on NBA when I get home from work, then see him on my fav pod. Today was a good day!!
Thanks Richard ... absolute star 🌟 This is amazing 👏 One of your best ! Ty .
Not a basketball fan at all - but this was one of the best WMBD episodes ever IMO.
Yes!!!! I consume hours of comedy podcasts and basketball podcasts! Love the comedy/basketball crossovers!
Best ep in a long time! Gotta have him on again
Great to see Richard realize how funny Mark is in real time , great pod bring back Richard !
As a basketball stan, this was a top episode
This turned out to be a better hang than I anticipated. At first it seemed like you were all a bit timid around each other, but once the juice got poured you boys got comfortable and the convo was pretty entertaining. This might be my first time experiencing Richard Jefferson. Seems like a good dude.
Was hesitant at first with all the basketball talk but was pleasantly surprised with Rich as a guest. Phenomenal ep! Love him

One of the all time best eps for me personally the comedy/Basketball cross over is awesome and as a Spurs fan getting a Timmy story was an unexpected great surprise. RJs time with the spurs wasn’t the best but as a kid I loved him throwing down some sick dunks for anyone that doesn’t know about ball RJ was an athletic FREAK go watch his highlights he was a monster with the Nets 🔥
Richard Jefferson has been one of the best guests they have had on. I hope he comes back or he can another pro athlete to join as a guest.
Ngl, I was skeptical at first about an athlete being on this pod, but Richard was a really great guest! Amazing synergy!
Great episode, probably my favorite of all time.
Great episode to have with the playoffs around the corner
I domt know a lot about the details of basketball, but this is a really enjoyable episode - great chemistry:)
I wanna be on the pod just to chew on that coffee table like all the other guest.
