Six Hundred and Still Ballin’ - EP. 600
Brian and Ed hit a huge milestone — 600 episodes of The Baller Lifestyle Podcast. They look back on twelve years of laughs, rants, and listener love, including a heartfelt shoutout to longtime friend David Bray. This week’s RIP list runs from Marshawn Neyland to Dick Cheney (finally), with stops at Lenny Wilkens, Paul Tagliabue, and a No Limit rapper named Young Bleed. Then it’s on to sports: Antonio Brown’s latest arrest, Amon-Ra St. Brown’s “Trump dance” punch, and the Guardians’ pitch-fixing scandal. Listener emails bring everything from banning NFL kickers to a surprise cameo from Webster himself, Emmanuel Lewis. The “Not Sports” finale features deadly ziplining in Laos, a horny British millionaire, and two beautiful French art thieves with the dumbest password ever: Louvre. Twelve years, six hundred episodes, and still as stupid and glorious as day one.
