bokeen’s Ratchetclass: The NBA is back!

bokeen — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:36 +0000

Tyler Conium and Rodimus Prime join the first episode of bokeen’s solo podcasting project to commemorate the end of the NBA lockout. We begin by arguing about whether the players or owners were at fault for the lockout, and discussing if the lockout left each of us salty. Next, we talk about how the time off will affect the conditioning of the players and the impending madness of a condensed free agency period complete with an amnesty clause. We close the show giving our outlook for each NBA team, while cracking jokes along the way. 30 teams multiplied by three dudes equals over 90 jokes. There is no better value in podcasting.

Thankfulcast

bokeen — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:00:09 +0000

To commemorate the Thanksgiving holiday, bokeen ate a few Xanax in order to dial the ratchetness down a bit as we discuss the things that we are thankful for. mizChartreuse waxes poetic about overcoming challenges (she just ran an 8K) and her ethereal experiences in Chicago. bokeen reflects on being in an interracial relationship and the state of the music business.

In addition, bokeen made his predictions of what albums the elderly twats at the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences will nominate for Best Rap Album later this week:

"Watch the Throne" by Jay-Z and Kanye West
"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" by Kanye West
"Tha Carter IV" by Lil Wayne
"Take Care" by Drake
"Hell: The Sequel" by Bad Meets Evil
"Lasers" by Lupe Fiasco (alternate)
