This was very hard to record. RIP Kobe & GiGi Bryant and the 7 other lives lost to this horrible tragedy. A day after the helicopter accident that took 9 lives from their families, we decided to sit down and talk Kobe Bryant and everything in-between. We reminisced, we cried, we laughed and we shared just how much this man meant to us and how he inspired and shaped so many childhoods around the world. We hope that these stories and this conversation can help some people cope and mourn as we do the same. Our thoughts are with Kobe's wife and daughters and all the other families affected. RIP to Kobe & GiGi, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester and Ara Zobayan. #MambaForever 2nd String: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2nd-…ng/id1295512054 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3DRslqRhPfQjs6ZILeLYYI YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmE-SBNnPIp8_ePzPOYYVGw An unfiltered sports and pop culture podcast from 3 former college radio hosts.

Well... welcome to 2020. Where the hell do we even start? It's the first podcast of the new year, so naturally we had to recap everyone's holiday / NYE shenanigans. Then we get into the fun stuff... it's been a WILD first few weeks of '20: WW3 memes, NFL playoff upsets, the Trail Blazers are a train-wreck, LSU's championship + Odell's ass grabbing assault, NBA All-Star Voting, trades, Aaron Hernandez's Netflix doc, and much more. We cracked open some adult beverages and dove into it all. Most importantly though, we talked about Portland's future.

2019... where do we even start. From Dame's infamous "shot", Western Conference Finals, the top memes of '19, sh*t like the Instagram egg, movies, music, sports upsets, etc, this was a wild year. We talked about what Christmas / the holidays are like for adults in their mid-twenties, best/worst gifts we've received, what happened in our personal lives in '19, our favorite sports memories, the highlights of Rip City, and much more random bullsh*t. In classic fashion, we cracked open some beers and got right into New Year's and our 2020 resolutions. Thank you to everyone that made this past year an unforgettable one! 2nd String: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2nd-…ng/id1295512054 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3DRslqRhPfQjs6ZILeLYYI YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmE-SBNnPIp8_ePzPOYYVGw An unfiltered sports and pop culture podcast from 3 former college radio hosts.

Debating Thanksgiving dishes turns friends to enemies... HAPPY F***ING THANKSGIVING WEEK! We cracked open some beers and got right into it this week to break down everything Thanksgiving, football, and the Trail Blazers. Even though there's not much to discuss, we talked everything Rip City and the depression that comes with being a fan this year. Things got a little heated... lastly and most importantly, we did our annual "starting five" 2019 Thanksgiving Food Draft. We swear we're still friends... As always, shoutout to Ian Karmel and the cast of 'All Fantasy Everything' for the inspo! Happy turkey day to everyone out there.

ALMOND JOY'S ARE FOR THE FEDS. Happy f***ing Halloween. Being the mature adults we are, we decided to have a few adult beverages and break down week 1 of the NBA and everything Halloween. We talked Trail Blazers team chemistry and asked Rip City to give us their summary of their week 1 struggles. We also broke down every team's NBA Twitter team hashtag... there are some good ones... #WeGoHard #MagicAboveAll #HEATTwitter. Naturally we also had to do our annual "starting five" Halloween Candy Draft + give some of our holiday hot takes. #2ndSS Big shoutout to Ian Karmel and the cast of 'All Fantasy Everything' for being the pioneers and giving us the drafting inspo! https://twitter.com/AllFantasyPod 2nd String: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2nd-…ng/id1295512054 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3DRslqRhPfQjs6ZILeLYYI YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmE-SBNnPIp8_ePzPOYYVGw An unfiltered sports and pop culture podcast from 3 former college radio hosts.

TIS' THE SZN. It's here... it's finally here. With 19-20 season starting this week, we cracked open some adult beverages and broke down absolutely everything Rip City related going into the year. We reviewed the offseason, talked preseason, and broke down every player on the roster. Predictions, concerns, team chemistry, and Rip City's future... NBA Finals? We asked our listeners on Twitter what they would do if the Trail Blazers won the NBA Finals this year and discussed (and screenshotted) all of the WILD promises Rip City was willing to lock in so we can hold them accountable... it's about to be a great year. #2ndSS Partnered w/ Budweiser USA Portland, #ThisBudsForYou https://www.instagram.com/budweiserusa/ 2nd String: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2nd-string/id1295512054 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3DRslqRhPfQjs6ZILeLYYI YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmE-SBNnPIp8_ePzPOYYVGw An unfiltered sports and pop culture podcast from 3 former college radio hosts.

We sat down with Rip City's young star to talk living up to the hype / high expectations, moving to Portland as just a teen, and just about anything and everything else. We got into Anfernee's childhood, growing up with his dad as his trainer, skipping college to play for the IMG academy, getting drafted by the Trail Blazers, moving to Portland as a teenager with his parents, what he likes to do in his free time, his rookie season, funny teammate stories / hazing, playing under Dame and CJ, the high expectations fans and critics have for himself this season, considering the dunk contest, how he got his "Ant" nickname, and what's next for Rip City!

What a week... we got into LeBron's 'Taco Tuesday' Trademark being denied (is TACO TUESSSS over?!), Coach Kobe absolutely destroying a poor 12-year-old girl on Instagram, the NBA banning ninja-style headbands, Dame DOLLA and Rip City's new radio voice, the return of the NFL / fantasy football and last but not least.... Antonio Brown sh*t. To lighten the mood we even did our own college football tailagate food / alcoholic beverage draft. Things got interesting... #2ndSS Follow Us | Live Tweet us w/ #2ndSS www.twitter.com/2ndStringShow www.instagram.com/2ndstringshow An unfiltered sports / pop culture podcast talkin' Beavs, NFL, NCAA, NBA, Rip City and other random bullsh*t.

It's truly a Hot Boy / Girl Summer... this week we took a scientific and scholarly look into this summer phenomenon and we drafted the official "Hot Boy / Girl Summer" starting lineups for summer 2019. Hint... Dame, Thanos, and the Bagel Boss Guy made the list, so anything goes. We also talked everything Trail Blazers and what's gone down in Rip City this offseason: Dame & CJ sign massive contracts, future expectations for the team, Dame DOLLA's album, and lastly... is the Anfernee Simons hype legit? Next Damian Lillard? Of course, we had to round things out with some NFL and Fantasy Football talk. #2ndSS Follow Us | Live Tweet us w/ #2ndSS www.twitter.com/2ndStringShow www.instagram.com/2ndstringshow An unfiltered sports / pop culture podcast talkin' Beavs, NFL, NCAA, NBA, Rip City and other random bullsh*t.
