Well folks, this is it. The series finale of Ballers. Things get emotional as Dave and Joel recap the final episode of the show and take a walk down memory lane to discuss how the various plot lines, character arcs, locations and cool suits have changed and evolved over the past five seasons.
The episode begins with a discussion about the recent Elizabeth Warren interview in Entertainment Weekly where she's asked exclusively about her love of the show. Dave and Joel feel seen by the fact that the presidential candidate has many of the same takes and opinions as themselves.
They also take a step back to look at the show as a whole by asking what the show wants us to think about money, power, capitalism and the character of Spencer/The Rock going forward.
Is Ballers good? You'll have to tune in to the final episode of Ballin' Out to find out!

They also applaud the 10/10 performance by "Swole Elon Musk" aka the owner of the LA Rams in the Ballers multiverse. They conclude the episode with a look at all the other plot lines and make predictions for how the series will play out in the upcoming series finale episode. All that and the episode MVP this week on of Ballin' Out!

On this episode, Dave and Joel jump right in and discuss Spencer finally making his big push for the players to have lifetime healthcare, and how it doesn’t go quite as planned. After a big breakdown of the outdoor conference room where the meeting is held, our hosts debate how it is that Spencer continually gets bested in whatever role he’s asked to play. They also look at Charles and his declining health, and whether we’ll see him in yet another job by the end of the season. Also, a quick check-in with the Ballers romantic relationships, with Joe being broken up with by his work GF as well as Jason totally botching the proposal. All that and this week’s episode MVP on this episode of Ballin’ Out!

On this very special episode of Ballin' Out, Dave and Joel are joined by their friend, writer and comedian Jen D'Angelo. Jen is world-famous for her love and affection for Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson and might possibly be the preeminent "rock-ologist" currently operating in the United States.
After discussing her ground-breaking meeting with The Rock, they then dive into the details of the episode. They begin at the end, with the shooting of Kisan, and discuss exactly what we're to believe the show wants us to think of him and the choices surrounding his downfall. They also discuss the introduction of the Riot Games offices, Charles' meeting with Alvin Kamara and Spencer's continued quarantine that prevents him from interacting with real live humans. All that and this week's episode MVP on this edition of Ballin' Out!

With Dave out this week due to a major PED controversy, Joel takes over hosting duties and welcomes special guests Chris Wade and Molly O’Brien from the "And Introducing" podcast for a free-wheeling discussion of one of the more perplexing episodes in the history of Ballers.
Joel, Chris, and Molly discuss what exactly it is that Sports X does as a company, as well as the strange career arc of Russell Brand. Then, they delve into Spencer’s continued saga to purchase the Kansas City Chiefs, the drive-by shooting that opens the episode, and take a very in-depth look at Vernon’s sudden and deeply bizarre desire to become an eSports athlete.
Finally, they wrap things up with another thrilling edition of The State of the Rock, as they discuss his new marriage (as announced on Instagram), what it means to be married to a man who is lifting weights at midnight on his honeymoon, and exactly how many helpers it must take to transport his Iron Paradise everywhere he goes.
-
On this week’s recap, Dave and Joel wonder how it is exactly that Spencer has the money to buy a multi-billion dollar NFL franchise (and whatever happened to that lawsuit with the NCAA?). They discuss Spencer’s summer beach reading list and finally get the answer they’ve been looking for when it comes to whether or not boogie boarding is actually a sport.
Next they wonder what happened to Joe’s character and whether or not Joe and Spencer are broken up or if they’re on the road back to making up. The episode finishes up with a quick look at Instagram followers, The Rock’s insistence that his characters remind viewers of his off-screen persona and whether Vernon really has what it takes to make it as a eSports athlete.

Ballin’ Out is back for a second season! In this season four preview episode, hosts Dave Collins (@davekcollins) and Joel Sinensky (@JoelSinensky) are joined by super-guest Chris Wade (@saywhatagain) to take a deep dive into the current “State of the Rock”.

Next, the discussion turns to politics with a look at the Rock’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman and his ascent to the global elite.

All good things must come to an end and on the season finale of Ballin’ Out, Dave, Joel and special repeat guest, Chris Wade, join together to give their takes on this episode and the Ballers season as a whole. In what was already an unprecedented weekend in the real universe of the NFL, this episode of Ballers carried with it an extra level of weight as it dealt deftly (and sometimes with a heavy, heavy hand) with the issues of wealth, race and the role of public perception in the modern NFL. The guys discuss the resolution of the season's major plot to bring a team to Vegas and break down the Rock and co's shifting moral and monetary motivations. In the second half of the episode, the three hosts discuss the implications of President Trump’s recent comments on the ongoing protests by NFL players and coaches on the issue of police brutality and social justice.
-
In the penultimate episode of season three of Ballers, The Rock and Joe take a trip to San Francisco and Oakland to prepare their final pitch for the Vegas stadium deal. The Rock struggles to articulate his desire for a child to Chloe before they split for the episode (and maybe for good?). Spencer learns that there is a competitive bid and doesn't take kindly to the Raiders' lack of communication on that front. Meanwhile, Ricky has a crisis of conscience and announces to the Patriots that he has a concussion and ultimately loses the deal he was about to sign. Dave and Joel finish up this episode with a discussion of how the character of Melvin is both long-overdue and simultaneously problematic and make their predictions for the "winners" and "losers" we'll see in next week's season finale.
