About this episode

Episode 250 discusses the NBA's tanking strategies and features a song contest.

Episode 250 opens with See Red Fred’s appearance on Waddle & Silvy before diving into a breakdown of the NBA’s “Two Leagues” — teams trying to win vs. those tanking — with the Bulls stuck failing at both. The Podfather then explains the league’s three modern tanking paths and how Chicago doesn’t cleanly fit any of them. The episode wraps with the Song Contest, featuring Doug’s “Play-In Parade” and Fred’s “AKME.”
