Am I A Baller
Am I A Baller
Baristie Boys LLC
The Baristie Boys are bringing you the G.O.A.T. of all podcasts. Two grown men, Luke Welchel and Dalton Zoll, who simultaneously believe themselves to be equal parts Warren Buffett and Michael Jordan and who spend their collective waking hours drinking coffee, talking about NBA Basketball, trading stocks, and starting companies. Is it all a fantasy? Yes. Is it Fantasy Basketball? No. Are there stats involved? Only when we want to use them to shame each other into silence, which is what the listeners really want. Winners are going to win, losers are going to lose. Ballers are going to ball. If you want to be a baller, if you want to be a winner, or if you want to lose hours of your life.
