The Purple & Black Pill

Send us Fan MailThe boys are back to cover another week of .500-style ball. The Kings looked like absolute doodoo this week until, suddenly, they didn't. Also inside: Ty's soft exit from Twitter; a new affinity for the Cavs is discovered; Bill Kennedy slay kween; RIP Oliver Miller

Send us Fan MailWith two weeks to cover, the boys are back to run down a supersized slate of games. There was the good, like a solid road win in Houston, and the very bad, like the home drubbing against the Knicks which both P&BP hosts (unfortunately) attended. Also covered: Fox's return, the accompanying hit pieces, and Dunc's scorching hot nativist defense against the fake news media; Anjali; Deftones homecoming; G-Man wishes a happy birthday to his lady wife, Miss Marlene

Send us Fan MailThe boys fight through some slightly weird audio to bring you a comprehensive roundup of the mostly lame All-Star weekend, the Kings' uneven return to action, and a very concerning anecdote about Shaq. To close things out, they welcome back R.J. Pomeroy for another trip to the RAGE CAGE!!!Check out Ty’s Kings Herald piece here:https://kingsherald.com/articles/deaaron-fox-is-a-land-of-contrasts/

Send us Fan MailWild times in Kings-land. In a busy conclusion to the trade deadline, Monte & Co. managed to shuffle off some picks and spare parts to shore up the bench, and the boys are here to fawn over instant smash hits Jonas Valanciunas and Jake LaRavia. They also weigh in on more De'Aaron Fox drama, LaVine's fit, DeRozan's game-winner, Hubie Brown, Davion, and much more. 

Send us Fan MailAfter a momentous weekend of player movement, the boys unpack the departure of De'Aaron Fox and what it means for the team now and moving forward. They evaluate the front office and its role in the move, look ahead to Zach LaVine's fit, and, of course, break down the absolutely earth-shattering Luka trade that (rightfully) stole all the headlines. 

Send us Fan MailIn what amounts to an emergency episode, the boys unpack Day 1 of The De'Aaron Fox Trade Situation Or Whatever It Is. And, finally, the show introduces its first-ever segment: The Rage Cage, a little ritualistic purging of bile with childhood pal R.J. Pomeroy.

Send us Fan MailThey boys are back on a short week to catch you up on the Houston barnburner, the Washington cakewalk, more Christie Wisdom, the TikTok ban, and much more. 

Send us Fan MailThe boys are back and really relying on the Kings to drown out the rest of 2025 so far. Ty is finally radicalized against the Celtics, pitches for reclamation project trades are heard, Doug brings cosmic harmony to the team, and much more.

Send us Fan MailWell. Did one or two things happen since the last episode?? Listen as the boys pick up the pieces after the Mike Brown firing, try to make sense of the subsequent winning streak, unpack De'Aaron Fox's limitations as a leader, and get real stoked about Devin Carter. 

Send us Fan MailAfter another unplanned break, the boys deign to return for a little pre-holiday fun. They celebrate Malik's ascension to the starter's role, puzzle out possible solutions to the flawed roster construction (including a beautiful fake trade idea from Dunc), and complain about NBA TV ratings discourse. Will this holiday season be a Ho Ho Ho or a Bah Humbug for our boys? Only one way to find out.
