Help!!!!!! Our Podcast Needs a Name!!!!!

Now you can catch me name-dropping like The Game, but I only came in the game to drop one name (Jesus) - Phanatik.


My main man Jeremy Hartman (peep his blog here) and I have dreamed about covering sports and culture since we were basketball teammates at Shenandoah University back in the day. 

The only problem is when we dreamed, we didn't dream up a name. Now that we've successfully recorded our pilot podcast (which you can listen to here) , we need to pick a name for the podcast. Fortunately, we have some creative friends who either sent us great options or things so hilarious that I was literally on the ground laughing. 

Here's what we need from you. If you like one of the name options 0r you have your own, let us know. Write your favorite on the JamTheHype.com link right here. We also want to know which of our friends you think is the funniest, so at the bottom of this page let us know which name you think is the funniest.


I will start with the funny names: 
  • BYOB - Bring Your Own Bible (I got superweak when I read this one) 
  • Turnover City (J Hart and I had a few turnovers in the SU backcourt)
  • Church Party 3 (a hysterical parody of the movie House Party 3, nice)
  • A Righteous Turnover (I see what you did there Melz)
  • Spiritual Guidance from Staunton's own Kid-N-Play (speaks for itself) 
  • Wisdom from Point guards who pass and point guards who don't (let's just say one of us may or may not be a SHOOTING guard trapped in a point guard's body.) 



Here are the names we we would actually consider for our faith, sports and culture podcast: 
  • Real Talk (We talk about real stuff ... it's a possibility)
  • Gaining Ground (has potential)
  • Get Lifted (well played with the spiritual double entendre)
  • Small Talk (We're both a tad shy of 6-foot and it's a podcast)
  • On Point (two former point guards)
  • The Crossover (has a spiritual and an athletic meaning)
  • Pardon The Introduction (you see what he did there)
  • Podcast With No Name (the name of the pilot podcast)
  • That's What's Up (Somebody gave us a shot out, but it kinda had a ring to it.) 
  •     
    Now that's you've seen the options - or if you have your own - help us decide!
