Episode 2-1: Return to LazieTown
WHAT'S THIS? THE LAZIES ARE BACK?!?! Shane, Ariana, and Aaron are in their new venue, Mike Krzyz-SHED-ski, talking Gonzaga, Kentucky, and everything we've missed in the last 20 months. It's catch-up time, and the whole gang's here. We've missed each other, we've missed you, we've missed Duke. Let's do this.

Episode 33: ACC Tourney Pre-Show
Not even a so-so Skype connection can keep Shane and Ariana from "previewing" the ACC tournament, by which we mostly mean having the conversation we've been dying to have about J-Rob, since Ariana missed the post-UNC pod. We talk about our hero, and Duke's chances to prevail in the conference tournament and beyond. Coach K knows there's an answer. Sponsored by the coronavirus.

Episode 32: J-ROB and the Carolina Sweep
It's the Justin Robinson game! There's a lot to say about the second UNC win, and here to say it is Shane, Aaron, Shane's stepdad, and a very special intro from Shane's mom. It's a family affair, plus Aaron, and we're here to talk about the man of the hour. There's also plenty of Tre Jones, and we're all Vernie Bros again. Plus, should Coach K be fired for missing J-Rob all this time. It ends with Shane forcing Aaron to say something nice, and of course the Skype connection goes shoddy.

Episode 31: Hoo Boy
It's bad enough to have to watch Virginia basketball for two hours, but for the whole thing to culminate in a loss is pain beyond telling. We try to make the best of a bad situation as Duke continues to stumble into the postseason. Are there silver linings? Aaron thought of one, but folks, you're not going to like it. Some Les Mis, thanks to Coach K, plus lots of Twitter questions. Onward, we guess.
Mar 01, 2020•1 hr 10 min•Season 1Ep. 32
Episode 30: In the Wake of Disaster
The inexcusable loss. The narrative shatterer. This is the one we can't rationalize, folks, but we're here to spread doom and gloom, and then find the ray of sunshine. It's Shane, Ariana, and Aaron ringing in the 30th episode in the worst way possible after the Wake Forest loss. What's our ceiling? Where's our redemption? Is the ACC lost for good? All that, plus a new podcast ad, texts from Ariana to her family, and a surprising amount of singing.

Episode 29: Whiplash Week
We are BACK AS HELL, and we are talking about the N.C. State drubbing, and the comeback win against Virginia Tech. With Florida State, Louisville, and we Dukies tied atop the league, the endgame promises to be scintillating. We catch up on the squad, iron out our plans for the rest of the season, and ask: If Cassius plays like this always, WILL WE EVER LOSE?
Feb 23, 2020•59 min•Season 1Ep. 30
Episode 28: Irish Eyes Are Weeping Profusely
In one glorious five-minute stretch, Duke transcended the misery-laden world and showed us what basketball would be like in the ethereum. The rest of the game was really good to. Shane and Aaron are on hand to discuss a Duke classic, and a much-needed coronation-slash-celebration against Notre Dame. We also take listener questions, and spend a surprising amount of time discussing Mosaic Law in the interest of avenging Cassius.

Episode 27: The Best Win of the Year
You read the title, FOOLS. The Florida State win was a gem, and Shane, Ariana, and Aaron are here to wax jubilant about a true triumph of toughness, teamwork, and the third famous T which I won't deign to name here. We also have a new ad, we categorize Duke's hatable whites, and we ask an important question: What would you do if you were invisible? Content warning: This episode contains references to perverts and al-Qaeda.

Episode 26: Instant Reaction to the Florida State Win
It's Shane jamming solo moments after the Florida State game, a gritty gutty triumph that went to the Blue Devils, as Ariana and Aaron cowardly refuse to record until Tuesday. Shane can't wait, so listen here for 17 minutes of gushing about the tremendous team performance that earned Duke a win under very difficult circumstances. WE ARE SO HAPPY.
Feb 11, 2020•17 min•Season 1Ep. 27
Episode 25: Drinking the Sweet Carolina Tears
Well, what can we say about the best, most hilarious, most triumphant game of the year so far? We're still baffled as to how we won against Carolina despite losing at least twice, and we're here to hash it out. Praise to Tre, Praise to Wendell, praise to life itself. Plus, should the Crazies have burned someone alive afterward? A philosophical discussion.

Episode 24.1: We're Back, Baby, and Coach K Must Answer For His Sins
We're back, Shane is done traveling for the time being, and we're catching up on Pitt, Syracuse, and the extremely lovely Boston College win that has rendered us speechless. Then we're on to Coach K: Tension abounds in the room as we discuss the merits or DEmerits of his tirade against our people, the Crazies. Should they unionize and strike? Listen for the answer.
Feb 05, 2020•1 hr 4 min•Season 1Ep. 25
Episode 24: We're Still Alive, I Promise
This 2-minute episode, featuring just Shane and a special guest, is not intended as a canonical Cameron Lazies ep, but rather a short statement that yes, we are in fact alive, no, the podcast is not dead, and yes, we're about to start recording like crazy this coming week and throughout the rest of the season. Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated, and the lack of episodes lately can be blamed entirely on Shane's travel. Thank you! See you soon!

Episode 23: Kobe Bryant's Death, Coach K's Successor
Strange vibes today as we record just a couple hours after news came that Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash. We talk about the death, his legacy, and the reactions, and then we move to Coach K's successor. Who will it be? Will it definitely come from the Duke coaching tree? There is no obvious option, so we hash it out.

Episode 22: The Second Slaughter of Miami, Plus Brawls
We wish Miami played us every single night. It's another beatdown of the Canes, which we analyze, and manage to find some negatives among the bounty. What's with Vern's hands? Is AOC forgotten? Then we talk ads, lingerie, the Wes Durham pop'n'play conspiracy, and the Kansas—K-State brawl.
Jan 23, 2020•59 min•Season 1Ep. 22
Episode 21: Physically Ill After Louisville
Well, we lost. Aaron and Shane are here to diagnose what went wrong (hint: it was a lot, including Tre's defense, the refs, Vern's softness, etc. etc.), whether we can learn anything, or whether we just have to sit here and take the gutshot of losing a game that seemed to be there for the winning. Content Warning: Ariana's not here, so pessimism ran wild. Some mild Cassius worship, otherwise it's a dour time. BUT...we have a new sponsor.

Episode 20: Previewing Louisville with Mike Rutherford of SBNation and CardChronicle
The title gives it away! Louisville comes to Duke Saturday, and Shane sits down with Mike Rutherford, founder of CardChronicle.com and the college basketball editor at SBNation, to talk about the state of Louisville in year two of the Chris Mack era, and what we can expect from the Cardinals on Saturday. Mike also drops some knowledge about what Rick Pitino said about our own Matthew Hurt when he was just a freshman in high school!
Jan 17, 2020•32 min•Season 1Ep. 20
Episode 19: Clemson Ends the Perfect ACC Season
Shane and Aaron get into a fight early, but it's Duke's fault because they ratcheted up our emotions with a tough road loss to Clemson. We're talking about the team's shortcomings when the rubber hit the road, how Hurt and AOC can't be counted on to play good defense, and how Vern's missed foul shots and general poor play cost us. Also, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?? Finally, we talk about the farce that is video replay in sports, and announce our very first sponsor. Bartleby the Scrivener and the pano...

Episode 18: DeForesting Wake, Plus Our Teams of the Decade
We wax jubilant on another dominant win—how 'bout Tre ending Childress' career?—and then it's time, a few weeks late, four our TEAMS OF THE DECADE. Not just best players, but our favorite games, our all-comedy team, and a Duke villain team. Greg Paulus coaches all of them.
Jan 12, 2020•1 hr 13 min•Season 1Ep. 18
Episode 17: Surviving the Yellow Jackets
Duke played a brilliant first half, blew it, and then battened down the hatches for a tough ACC road win. Shane, Aaron, and Ariana are here to talk about what was good, what was bad, and what was infuriating. Plus, the feud between Shane and Aaron's mom escalates, and Ariana continues to push the Vernon Hands Theorem.

Episode 16: More Like Hurrican'ts. Reliving the Miami Win.
We won't lie, we're drunk on victory and it's a bit of a goofy pod today as we relentlessly torment Aaron, who torments us back with semantics, and somehow in the midst of all this we talk about another unbelievable effort from the Dukies...this time on the road against Miami. A complete effort turned a game we unanimously thought would be tough into a complete laugher, and together we toast the Blue Devils—and the return of Great Cassius—while talking about philosophical matters such as the tru...

Episode 15: BC Bludgeoning, and Predictions for the New Year
The Blue Devils played their best half of the year to erase any hope Boston College may have had of staging an upset, and the Lazies are on the case, analyzing what made us so good. Some poetic odes to our defense follow, along with a warning to anyone sitting in the first two rows when Vern and Jav are sending shots dangerously into the crowd. Then it's on to 2020, where Aaron starts a beef with Wes Durham, we uncover a Jim Boeheim nose-picking conspiracy, and finish with predictions for the ne...

Episode 14: Brown? Down. The Scene from Cameron
Duke defeats Brown by 25 to head into (real) ACC play, and Ariana, Shane, and Aaron were on the scene, watching from the floor of Cameron Indoor Stadium. We talk about a weirdly frustrating blowout, the loss of unique culture in Cameron, and go into some more high-level NCAA debate based on how nobody will call a foul on Wendell Moore.

Episode 13: The Wofford Win, and Holiday Wishes for the Dukies
A Sunday night pre-Christmas hoedown in which we talk the Wofford win, James Wiseman, Zion's future, and holiday wishes for the Dukies in 2020. Feat. new character Hottie Hottie Aaron K the Double-A Battery Boy.
Dec 22, 2019•1 hr 10 min•Season 1Ep. 13
Episode 12: The Wofford Warning
There are several broadsides against Aaron in this episode for his anti-social opinions, along with our first cat-based sponsor, but mostly we talk about living through the doldrums of late December, the Wofford game, and the play of OUR BOYS so far. We're back in the saddle!
Dec 19, 2019•59 min•Season 1Ep. 12
Episode 11: Sparty Slain, Zion Avenged
The Izzone was rocking, Michigan State was poised for a season-changing win, and none of it mattered—Duke came to town and slaughtered them in their own house. From Tre to Vernon to the surprising Javin, it was a road masterpiece, and a perfect way to lead into ACC season. Ariana, Shane, and Aaron break it down, and throw out some Virginia Tech stereotypes for good measure.
Dec 05, 2019•1 hr 1 min•Season 1Ep. 11
Episode 10: Stephen F. Awful, Win-Crap...The Bad Week
The Dukies take their first loss, Cassius Stanley goes down, Tre looks tired, and Wendell reverts. Folks, this was not a good week. Ariana, Aaron, and Shane are talking about what went wrong, and what it means for the team and the season. At minimum, we can kiss the no. 1 ranking goodbye...but what does it mean for the brutal Michigan State/Virginia Tech week ahead?
Dec 01, 2019•1 hr•Season 1Ep. 10
Episode 9: Beating Georgetown, Burying Cal
The no. 1 Dukies defended their ranking in style—sometimes, anyway—with two more wins at MSG, Coach K's home away from home. Shane, Ariana, and Aaron are here to discuss the lessons from two nights in New York, from the stunning play of Vernon Carey to the continued excellence of Cassius Stanley to the emergence of Wendell Moore. We talk about what Coach K looks for at this time of year, wonder where Hurt is going, and introduce a new segment Aaron insisted on called "Foot Fetish Corner." It's n...

Episode 8: Player Grades, Cal and Texas (??) Previews
Ariana and Shane go down the roster grading the no. 1 Blue Devils after four games, and then we chat with BOTH Cal Bears representative Rob Hwang of The Bearcast (27:00) and Texas rep Dustin McComas of OrangeBloods.com (42:00) about Duke's next opponents at MSG. Plus, Aaron Kirschenfeld has been thoroughly re-educated and confesses to his sins!
Nov 20, 2019•1 hr 19 min•Season 1Ep. 8
Episode 7: Optimism and Pessimism After Georgia State
The Duke Blue Devils are on the verge of being the no. 1 team in the nation after an ugly but finally definitive win over Georgia State, but are we happy about that? Do they deserve it? Aaron says no, Ariana and Shane battle him to the rhetorical death, and in between we sing songs of praise to Tre Jones and Vernon Carey while striking a more solemn tone for the rest of the gang.
