Episode 29: @HubieTalksHoops Comes on to Chat Bill's Impact on NBA Discourse: "Everyone on NBA Twitter is a Mini-Bill Simmons"; Plus, Rating NBA Podcasters and the Art of Twitter Comedy
Welcome to Episode 29! We bring on NBA Twitter legend @HubieTalksHoops for a wide ranging discussion on Bill, the NBA, comedy in 2023 and more.
We start off with Hubie's history with Simmons and then dive into how he started his account, including inspiration from Bill who was the first to "throw on his Hubie Brown wig." We then talk NBA and Ringer podcasters, and Hubie offers his support for KOC and Big Wos.
Then we discuss Bill's influence on NBA discourse - "everyone is a mini-Bill Simmons now" - and examine his time on NBA Countdown and look back fondly on Bill & Jalen's Previews.
We delve into the Bill Simmons Universe - Hubie breaks out a Chuck Klosterman impression - and we discuss why Hubie doesn't listen to Adam Carolla anymore. That gets us into who Hubie's enjoying in comedy in 2023 - and why it's been suffering - no one even noticed the late night shows aren't on because of the writer's strike.
We finish up talking funny moments in the history of the @HubieTalksHoops account.
