The Howard White episode was a great listen. He’s relaxing to listen to and very inspirational. He’s probably the best brand ambassador Nike has besides MJ himself.

Been a fan of All the Smoke since y’all interviewed my favorite player of all time—Kobe Bryant. I grew up in the Philippines, and Kobe was my hero. The fact that y’all drove just to get that interview done? Legendary.
Matt’s chill, Stack’s fiery, and Unc Vernon Maxwell? Hilarious every time. As an NBA nerd, this show brings back the best memories. Real talk, real vibes, real hoop culture. Appreciate y’all for keeping it 100.
All the Smoke 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 · Jun 2025
Thank you both for giving a 60+ white woman a deeper understanding of the challenges that people of color have faced historically and continue to face today in their everyday lives. I knew our country’s history and have been ashamed of it, even though my family have been lifelong Democrats. That makes me realize that even though I voted as a Democrat, I wasn’t necessarily voting in the best interests of people of color.
I was so enlightened by your conversation with Vice President Harris because you discussed the very real, everyday challenges that you’ve encountered regardless of amazing personal and/or professional successes, and how they’ve impacted your life to this day. I feel this is unacceptable, and I want to change this going forward.
Thank you guys!

These guys interviewed Kamala Harris, which I am sure was not easy to prep for … and they did an amazing job.
Quite possibly the most “real” and informative interview I’ve heard from her because she was able to be her authentic self.
I hope this goes viral so that “undecided” people can hear.
I’d also love to see these guys interview Bernie, AOC, Gretch, Breshear, Beto, Shapiro, Tim Walz and Gavin… etc.
5* podcast!

This podcast was incredible in its early days. As they’ve partnered with various companies it’s fallen off. MB and SJ are no longer all in and you can tell. Guest quality has plummeted and the content is geared more towards promotion than anything else. From one of my favorites to unsubscribing, it’s very disappointing.
