Blott

Nina

developers developers developers developers developers developers developers developers

Bob

Not everyone knows this bus Pablo's first ever scoop was that Liz in fact knows ball. He also reported on brace being able to dunk but everyone already knew that, having seen it happen many times

harpy

Pablooooooo!!!! ☀️💕

Harry

is this just a sports podcast now?

Hampton

Norwood representation

drewb

I've never felt more amped to be writing C# before. cheers Steve

Mugiwara

YAY i used to pray for podcasts like this

Max

Stop it with the baldness revisionism, it is evil and it is a moral failure.

drewb

smashing out lines of poorly-written Blazor with spittle-flecked tears of pride in my eyes, furious chanting along with Steve as Visual Studio crawls to a halt for the six hundredth time this morning

Bert

I'm Liz'ing out to this one!

Elliot robinson

Men lie, women lie, Billionaires lie, ball don’t muthafuckin lie

Jerimiah

Need Ted Cruz and YC to have a podcast about the old basketball ring.

Daniel

This is impossible to follow

Joelio

Liz is one of the greatest orators of our time

Clean Shirt Piggie

When I saw Liz and Brace on video with Pablo I could see why they are fully committed to audio.

Bill Vog

Pablo making the rounds. Bit of a victory lap for him

Mersham

Pablo Torre is my best friend

Mungo Franczak

Pablo if you’re about to tell me my 2018 Red Sox World Series win is somehow implicated in this whole scandal I may throw a fucking fit

Spencer Zebra

This is the theory heavy episode

otis

I'd like to take this opportunity to share knowledge about "The Ballmer Peak" and the relation of blood alcohol level and programming skill. https://xkcd.com/323/

Tim O'

A guest appears first on TrueAnon, and then Chapo? The Chapo comments are full of boring haters. But if a guest appears on Chapo first, and then TrueAnon? Acclaim in both sets of comments. You guys are beautiful.

Zach Sampson

Adam Silver and Ballmer have a real Waluigi and Wario dynamic, it's sad to see them fight.

Clean Shirt Piggie

Dang I never knew how boring and convoluted one could make a discussion of the NBA salary cap

JayK

Remember when the Warriors played a crippled Cavs team to win the 2015 title? 👁️👁️ Liz doesn’t seem to remember

Ed Scherrer

Klay tore his ACL in game 6 at the end of the 3rd quarter. No Durant obviously changed the series but the Raps team was legit going through Prime Giannis, Embid and Steph.

Zach Young

Bring back the Sonics

LimeSelzer

Liz referring to the Boston Red Sox as the sawx makes this a Boston episode. More Boston always

John Lemieux

BRI= basketball road initiative

K

On behalf of the bald community- thank you for your allyship.

gil

What can’t liz do?

drizzly_november

This pod has always been, and always will be, about buckets.

dimwit

Was waiting for this ep. Pablo rules.

j h

i wish i could explain how deeply the city of san antonio still hates and will never forgive kawhi leonard for scheming and scamming his way out ... but the spurs now have victor wembanyama and the clippers have grady dick

landon

please have jon bois on the show you can talk about the political economy of scorigami or something

Andrew Buchner

Pablo on the victory lap podcast circuit, letting his nuts hang.

moonshine

Thank you Liz for these run of episodes! As a Econ/housewives/nba woman I feel so catered to it’s amazing.

riley bowers

Liz is so spot on about carbon credits being lib crypto

Wilian Moreira

Nowadays the invested Chapo fans are all doomers, the communities are all dogshit, while I engage with the trueanon communities, Chapo is a listen-only pod

Taz

This episode made me realize I need to hear Liz explain Fabrizio Romano to brace

Killer Dan

i can’t find joe sanbergs mugshot ANYWHERE

Homalek

Once again the perfect sample is selected by YC.

dr blood

More liz more basketball!

Keenan Fitzgerald

Please insert the biggest Brace Belden PAUSE of all time for 33:14-33:20

pj

More bald talk on the show please

ericg

This is my dream situation Liz basketball episodes are the best!

Sarah

Mr sterlings right hand arm. Man

EaZy E

Basketball wives doing financial crimes to get progressively more niche plastic surgeries. The Liz perfect storm.

EaZy E

Its a great time Lmao. I dont even watch sports anymore (or don't get to); but its awesome. The competition, the tea, just so many numbers and names to remember, and dumb people always want to debate it. Go sports ball!

Ray

the trash heap has spoken

joancutesac

I'm Mr. Sterling everything

joancutesac

Not if you're a ball knower

gav

For a second I thought Ballmer did go to trump but then I remembered that’s the lakers former owner who gave him a dodgers ring amid his own federal investigation

Standing the Gaff

Single-handedly won for Toronto? No way! That team had depth.

LB

True Anon x Pablo at the 2027 Finance Cup please please please please please please please

Sinéad O'Brien

I love the Liz episodes so much so far omg

🤷🏼‍♀️

Carbon crediting is much more like indulgences than star purchasing

Brennan

When God’s light shines upon the head of a Bald, His blessing is spread to us all.

L

yung chomsky I SAW you in the cut I am a beautiful, social-media-less, semi-literate woman. hey

beefcrimes

Thank you for standing with me, your bald brother

Clean Shirt Piggie

Liz and Pablo,with their young children, hanging out talking pro hoops while their nannies have a play date in Central Park is sweet.

🔻

This is what it must have been like for all of the Lizz fans to listen to braces semen episode - I now feel your pain 🖤 Love you all

Clean Shirt Piggie

What if Liz and Chomsky sell out to iheart while Brace is gone in a Pablo-Athletic style deal?

Michael Skeels

I can’t believe Liz said the b word (bald)

caroline

Liz eps mogging the brace eps im sorry

Kenny Hile

I miss the Braceter, but these Liz episodes are direct hits.

take it or leave it

If you're going imply that the raptors only won a championship because of GSW injuries, then you have to put that same asterisk beside every champion team that beat a team with injured players. I object to minimizing Toronto's accomplishment because they were better at not getting injured.

Nathaniel

Instant click for me, this is excellent content

NEEMS

Another episode for my dad (loves Pablo torre)

Keith

the Canadians are guilty of cultural appropriation, since last I checked there were no dinosaurs in Toronto.

Jakup Shmakup

My favourite part about this episode is when they discuss Bald Politics. The classic BP

Thomas Bradley

Being a clipper fan is hell but ive enjoyed your coverage of it

Thomas Bradley

You guys are so annoying, he won you a ring get over it

The Doktor

What i have taken away from this episode is more appreciation for the "Wallace shawn" cut

joancutesac

"is that what he calls you?" "no" 👁️👄👁️

BRO$e

Checkout PTFO then

BRO$e

Someone give Kyle Lowry his flowers

ay ay ron

Is this month Liz’s apex mountain

PoppyBusch

Brace CANNOT DUNK! Prove me wrong.

limbolul

i love pablo so much!

Sean Dickey

The year is 2026 and Ballmer is still wet.

Alexander Johnson

Kyle Lowry should've won Finals MVP in 2019 over Kawhi. That's an NBA hot take hill I will die on. Lowry was the heart & soul of that 2019 team, while Kawhi was just there and had the stats.

Ben

Not really, Aspiration still owes Kawhi money

Nick M

More ball episodes Liz! Give us the Pat Tillman episode!

MC

I need Pablo to investigate Man City as soon as possible! The Football world needs you Pablo!

Zakir KH

What will her spermjacking episode be? My hope is: Liz on plastic surgery

roux

The rich ghouls are arguing over how rich they're allowed to get

Lulu

As a newly bald listener, I feel seen.

Ant koz

Tenth time I’ve been right here asking for Liz talks hoops sesh… I will remain patient…

E

Liz you've chosen well because I will say the last thing you all need is to make an enemy of the balds. What an enemy.

Aaaaaaaaaaa

While we’re doing SportsAnon can Liz do an episode explaining why I should or should not be angry at the Dodgers’ deferred contracts?

Pelican Grief

I've been fond of Pablo since way back in my under employed PTO and around the horn watching days. Mf has always been extremely good at his job.

cashewbuppest

Plus pre-kd the warriors won their sole title when klove and kyrie were both out. #stopthecopeandfacethefactthatinjuriesdontdiscounttitles

Michael S. Judge

I believe it was Will Menaker who invented the term "Sides God" for a man who goes bald and just lets it fucking ride

Michael S. Judge

It's fucking ridiculous that Adam Silver himself isn't at the heart of any criminal investigation – he knew exactly, I mean exactly from the people in the meetings, what Kawhi & co. were demanding in 2019, he knew perfectly well what "Kawhi to CLIPPERS?" meant, and he decided that it wasn't worth jeopardizing his dream of an NBA completely owned and run by people who have paid $10,000 for a handshake from Eric Holder

Kamran Husain

bio pic of sam darnold and blake griffin working out as kids thanks pale for the tangential movie goldmine

j h

LIKE I SAID. i wish i could explain! it's irrational and strange and melodramatic and very clearly annoying to others -- but it's part of the drama of the sport and the weirdness of fandom!! and we love it all

SecretMoon

FIDDLING ABOUT FIDDLING ABOUT FIDDLE ABOUT

Timothy Buttons

It shall be from these two ball episodes that the next semen series will spill forth! O great folly of Liz, the unwitting architect of TrueAnon's testicular future!

Brandon Jeffries

I would love a regular show where Liz breaks down sports headlines with different guests. This has been the only palatable way for me to finally fully digest this whole Clippers story.

1

Mr. Strike on the other hand....

Matt

the concept of toronto as a backwater

Ramona

I love LizAnon

ERIC

I would like to get into all these things we did in fact not have time to get into.

Andrew Locke

Same episode as Chapo 4 days later, not listening, sorry

OG Cracker Barrel

Pep Guardiola, Enzo Maresca (pep jr), and Vincent Kompany would like respect put on these Bald Kings’ names. They should convince Harry Kane to just do a preemptive strike like Haaland.

Carter Adams

I don’t know anything about sports but (related) I was a 2000s Linux nerd and I enjoyed this episode I largely don’t understand because bad things are happening to Ballmer.

Valentino

I know he wanted to go back to socal, but Kawhi should've stayed with Toronto

Drew Scott

As a depressed clippers fan I really gotta thank Pablo for helping us out of the toxic Kawhi/Uncle Dennis relationship

Buoyed

Mr Yung Chomsky can you do an episode where all the transitions are just you playing the bass raw with nothing else please and thank you

Drew

Liz knows bald

Héctor

I usually fall asleep listening to your beautiful voices (and then re-listen the next day), but this ep was so fascinating I stayed up listening past my bedtime

Angus

wait wait wait. there’s a professional basketballer called ‘Kawaii’??

Dylan

Protect Pablo at all costs

Sillycrow123

please release the podcast bloopers.

Woke Batou

ELITE BALL KNOWLEDGE

John Lima

Prob already in comments but I learned it's pronounced Sh-ahms and not Sh-amms like clams from listening to this just like Liz

rebz

Hey, great episode Liz!

absoluteboi

ed sheeran just had an epic fail

Mr

Plus warriors are frauds and only won a 2 peat with the snakiest super team of all time and by millions of illegal screens by the dirtiest NBA player of all time and Im not mad don’t put in the newspapers that Im mad

capri

compliment duplex 1. i like how engaging this episode was even though i generally don't know or care about sports 2. liz and pablo have really great synergy 3. liz is very relatable because i also always go back to having bangs 4. i finished the episode when i got to work because i was having fun learning (i normally save the rest for my drive home)

Kevin Pierce

I don’t know. He stayed in a Holiday Inn with Tyron Lou after the Tornez Burton shooting. I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for Ballmer but I get it. Too little too late.

Maxim

yeah..

Phoeb

His silly rabbit? Yes. That’s what he calls you? No. 🫪

Dan P

A Steve Ballmer biopic could be awesome. Call it "Bald Ambition"

Rosalie

this would've never happened if they stayed in San Diego..

pq

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT, LIZ

Jeremy C-M

NO SHADE to friends of the pod with bigger podcasts which we all love and respect, but if you can only listen to one pod ep with pablo this month, this one has a ball and finance knower on the mic

Andttttttttt2

This episode made me realize that I am a girl.

CJ

YC I must thank you for staying true and keeping the pod strictly aural for us audiophiles ♥️

CJ

Lol so true, even Elon was ostensibly a lib when he was raking them in!

I D L

Hoping Liz leads on a Man City /Abu Dhabi episode soon

Isaac Robnett

Y'all are doing great just no interest in basketball.
