The Underdog NBA ShowEpisode 216: The Brothers McEllisonOn the 216th episode of the underdog sports NBA show, Zandrick and Tyler talk the Lakers and Jazz trade, the RJ barrett extension and then are joined by a special guest! The first talk about how the Patrick Beverly trade is good for both the Lakers and the Jazz and how this is the type of move the Lakers should be making.

MTV Challenge Accepted222 -- Reunion (Part 2) and Season Awards!After a second reunion episode, the "Double Agents" season of the Challenge has officially ended. With it, Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison are here to recap the entire run. Not only do they discuss the (slight) drama of the reunion episode, but they dish out season long awards. Who will win Rookie of the Year? Villain of the Year? MVP? Leroy, Kam, and CT all have great cases to make. It's such a close call that the Ellison Brothers go back and forth several times themselves. It's the last episode of the season for both the MTV show and the podcast!2021-05-0748 min

MTV Challenge Accepted221 -- Double Agents Reunion (p1)The Double Agent season ended with a vet-rookie combination winning the $900,000, but there's still plenty to discuss in part one of the reunion episode. Or at least, SOME things to discuss. Dondrick and Zandrick talk about the lingering tension in the house, the now-cooling love triangle between Fessy, Tori, and Gabby, as well as the overall impact of CT's strong season and new look at the reunion. Rather than give out "Stock Ups, Stock Downs," The Ellison Brothers award some season awards, including Elimination of the Year and Comedian of the Year.2021-04-3038 min

MTV Challenge Accepted217 -- A Most Wanted ManZandrick and Dondrick Ellison recap and break down the latest episode -- "A Most Wanted Man" -- that centered on a seemingly inevitable vote into elimination. With the writing on the wall, the at-risk parties did their best to shake it up, but it turned out to be in vain. In their place, PRODUCTION stepped up with the bigger twist, although it's one that caused the Ellison Brothers to doubt the integrity of the show itself. Despite those questions, they still managed to dish out "Stock Up, Stock Down" and debate the future of the season.2021-04-0154 min

MTV Challenge Accepted216 -- Never Say Never AgainWith all the gold skulls awarded, the competitors try to make heads and tails of the game, and Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison are right there with them to navigate the game and strategize potential pitfalls. On this week's episode -- Never Say Never Again -- we saw another female elimination that featured two women on the lower end of the totem pole. Could Aneesa redeem her reputation? Could Big T solidify her underdog comeback? The Brothers debate all those moments and more, along with their signature Stock Up and Stock Down game at the end.2021-03-2556 min

MTV Challenge Accepted215 -- Best of EnemiesWith the final around the corner, the competitors are kicking their strategy into overdrive, and Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison need to do the same to keep up with them. They discuss all the politics in the latest episode -- "Best of Enemies" -- the course of events, and how that may shake up the future of the season so far. As always, the brothers dish out "Stock Up and Stock Down," feeling more generous with the market than they did during last week's short episode.

MTV Challenge Accepted214 -- the Spy who Loved FessyZandrick and Dondrick Ellison break down the latest (and shortest) episode of the season, entitled "The Spy Who Loved Fessy." As you may imagine, the show gave us a lot of Fessy related drama, perhaps more than we even wanted. The brothers break down all the Fessy-related shenanigans and love triangles, as well as the (little) competition that led us to an inevitable showdown between two middling challengers in the elimination. As always, the brothers award "Stock Up and Stock Down" to those who impressed and those who didn't (Fessy)2021-03-1146 min

As always, the brothers award "Stock Up and Stock Down" and make predictions about the future of the show, particularly in regards to the cliffhanger episode ending.2021-02-2558 min

MTV Challenge Accepted211 -- Amber AlertZandrick and Dondrick Ellison dive into the latest episode of the "Double Agents" season, entitled Amber Alert. Of course, that title suggests an Amber-centric episode which can only mean underwhelming results. Still, the brothers appreciated the concepts behind the daily and the elimination even if they didn't result in grand entertainment. The Ellisons debate the moves that got us here, the future of Nam-Lolo as America's/Germany's sweethearts, and the future of the players as the gold skulls dwindle and the finals drawn near.2021-02-1849 min

MTV Challenge Accepted208 -- Die Another DayZandrick and Dondrick Ellison launch into the latest episode of the "Double Agents" season, which featured some new drama and some old elements (like Devin riling up Josh once again.) The repercussions of Theresa and Jay's power move may have come back to bite them this week, with Jay trying to survive as best as he could to suffer for his partner's sins. The Ellison Brothers discuss the strategies involved, the challenge results, and look ahead to what may be next.

As always, the Ellison Brothers give out a "Stock Up, Stock Down" to surprising competitors, and look ahead to the rest of the season. To top it all off, they take the time to bash MTV's Deliciousness as well.2021-01-0756 min

MTV Challenge AcceptedEpisode 12 -- Pictures of YouZandrick and Dondrick Ellison dive into the 12th episode of the "Total Madness" season, an episode that focused on the male competitors who did have red skulls (and did NOT focus on Dee, quite clearly.) The desperation to qualify for the final and the disapproving looks from children motivated players like Cory to push harder than usual, but didn't appear to sink in for everyone. Zan and Dondrick will debate the merits of those moves (or lack of moves) and mention some winners and losers in the signature "Stock Up, Stock Down" segment. The brothers grade the episode, and look...2020-06-2300 min

MTV Challenge AcceptedEpisode 11 -- You Ain't RightZandrick and Dondrick dive delicately into the strange politics of the 11th episode of the "Total Madness" season, an episode that intentionally did NOT focus too much on Dee.
