A proposito di questo titolo

A weekly, one-of-a-kind podcast hosted by Portland basketball enthusiasts and self-proclaimed OGs, that’s Old Grandmas to you, Mary Lou and Phyllis. Original Gangstas of the game, these two know hoops!


Each week these friends package up all things basketball, kind of like chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, before serving up their unique spin on players, coaches, games, fans, trends, books, movies and more.

While their focus is on the NBA (their hometown Blazers often get some extra love), they won't hesitate to dive into college or WNBA topics when the moment calls for it.

Join Mary Lou and Phyllis for a lively, no-nonsense and surprisingly insightful take on the game they've loved for decades.

After all, OGs know ball!
