It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome
another amigo to their podcast Dos Amigos. Wilmer's friend and former That
70s Show castmate Topher Grace stops by the Speakeasy for a two-part interview
to discuss his career and reminisce about old times. We were still in that
place of like what will this experience become and you go you're having the best
time but it was like such a perfect golden time. Listen to Dos Amigos on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
And the dream season is now complete. The Golden State
Warriors are the 2015 NBA champions.
On the new limited podcast series Dub Dynasty, it's been
10 years since their shocking run to a championship. We
examine the controversial move that made
it possible.
It's never a great conversation as a player when you hear that you're being benched.
For the entire behind the scenes story of Golden State's incredible 10 year run, listen
to Dub Dynasty on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the
podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of 2B.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
There are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way
to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always
hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked
like it might bring down his presidency.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
The volume. Okay, before the game, JJ Reddy stormed out of the presser after a question about substitution.
He took offense to a question that basically asked if he would lean on his assistant coaches
when it comes to helping with substitution.
Are you saying that because I'm inexperienced and that it was inexperienced decision that I made
You don't think I talked to my sisters about substitutions every single time out. That's a weird assumption
He stormed out. I would have stormed out too
Yes, I have no choice. Yes. I talked to my sisters. Hell my sisters know too. We don't have a choice
How many times let me ask you a question O times, let me ask you a question, Ocho.
Let me ask you a question, Ocho.
How many times have JJ Reddick been a coach in the NBA?
I think that's a very valid question
because he is an experienced as a coach.
You know what?
And it's all he had to do
because if he leaned on his coaches,
yes, I leaned on my coaches.
That's a part of like when we have a time
when we're together,out, we group together.
So what do you think?
How does Rui look?
How does Doe look?
How does LeBron look?
How does, first of all, that's LeBron and Luca is on, they already sent LeBron.
At the six minute mark, you're coming out to get a blow for two to three minutes.
We're gonna put you back in.
Luca, if it's really good and we're up 10 12
You might come out the last minute of the first quarter
So that way we can still ahead of minute or so cuz we get to tie the TV time out
So you get one minute there you get another minute or two there and then we gonna let you sit for four minutes
So we gonna steal some time
Everybody else is on a rotation like okay, hey pull him get it
But I don't think you can't get mad when people ask you questions, Ocho. That's a part about being a coach.
I understand it, even though being a coach, but also being a reporter is about watching the game. Also being a reporter is about understanding,
well hell, we are in a position, if I'm a Laker reporter, damn, we do got to keep Luke and him in there.
We do got to have them play all four quarters because we not getting nothing.
They don't look at the game like that, Ocho. My job is that my job is to ask you questions. What's going on?
I understand. I'm just I'm just seeing it from the lens on both sides
No, you see it from the lens of the player and you hit him said that somebody questioned the coach
Yeah, I mean you right but I mean just you got to realize most of these reporters. Oh Joe have never played
They've never been in the huddle. They've never had to sub.
And so we look at, we athletes look at the game totally different than the layperson
or the casual fan, especially if we're professionals.
We understand.
Well, why you call that dumb play?
You think I called it because I didn't want to get no yards?
Hey, what's the play we got that's going to lose us four yards?
Yep, call that one.
Hey, what's that play that we got that's going to call Joe the Airball that shot and dribble the ball like a foul?
Yeah, that's the play I want to run after this time out.
Of course not.
Normally, your assistant coaches, and now it's a lot of them nowadays, but normally your assistant coaches
stay in the head coaches area.
You have a head assistant,
and he keeps coaching tackers for us.
Okay, look, all children been out there
12 straight minutes, we might need to give them a blow.
You know what I mean?
So, normally your assistant is always an extension
of the head and he normally.
Probably Scotty Brooks, I'm thinking Scotty Brooks
is his lead and then Nate is no. So they may'm thinking Scotty Brooks is his lead in that native.
Yeah.
So they may tell you like, well, I've got four files.
You know what I mean?
We can't we might want to take him out and give him a break.
So for him to go with them guys for that extended period of time,
he probably just like forget it.
Yeah, I don't think he had no trust in any of those guys coming off their bench.
He felt he was gonna go with his big guns and he stuck with yeah
Hey
Well
But as a but as a co-jo, but as a coach, you know this when it goes well your genius when it doesn't go
Well, you're gonna get second guess. That's how it is. That's a that's a part of it
You know what somebody if somebody asked you you play. You know, if somebody asks you, you play
a quarterback and somebody asks you what you saw, you can't say, I saw what you saw. I
hope you didn't see what I see. Because I did. Look, in this down and distance, this
area of the field, this is what they normally play. I thought I had this guy made a great play.
You know, they study film too.
They get paid.
You do get up, you know, they're playing, they're playing other plans.
I was quick to tell my coaches that I tell Mike that all the time.
I said, Hey, you know, that guy got paid too now, right?
He picked up his check on Monday, just like I did.
So don't think, Hey, I'm the only one getting paid and they just found this
guy, he jumped on the back of a truck somewhere. Nah, bro, he in the NFL too. He here for a reason.
Cause sometimes I think coaches real like, hey,
and I tell this all the time, Joe, anybody in a professional league has the ability to make
anybody else in a professional league look bad. I don't care if it's the best basketball, best basketball player against the,
whatever somebody might think is the worst.
He still can light his ass up.
A receiver that you like, who is this kid?
Hold on.
What game was that?
Uh, Oh, lab.
McConkey.
Remember that playoff game?
He will cook it on Chokey.off game? He was cooking. Don't you?
Cooking, boy.
Yeah, anybody to business.
You were cooking. Yeah. See, that's what I tell you. That's what I tried to tell Joe.
What?
That's what I tried to tell Joe. I tried to tell him. You know, you take one of the better athletes of all time.
You know, I'm talking about me. Me playing you one on one.
Oh, man. here we go. All right, you feel, hey listen, I'ma tell you, when I go by you,
it's the reason why they call you Ike Sue
because you're gonna be by your damn self trying to go up.
I'm not gonna tell you.
I mean, this ain't, this ain't what you want.
Okay, okay, okay.
You're gonna need plenty of help, brother, trust me.
You're gonna need plenty of help.
Hey, you trust me.
Once I get you out there in space,
at the top of the key is a wrap.
I can get it. I put the ball on the floor and listen, I'm gonna get my shot. I'm gonna get to my spot.
Me and Ray?
I seen you play already.
What you talking about? You may see me.
Well, if you saw me play, you know you can't do nothing with me.
In the words of Florida Evans, damn, damn, damn.

The Teen Wolves, knock out the Lakers.
Guys, I was pressed for time.
What I meant to say, Lakers going home in five.
That's what I meant, but y'all, you know y'all.
Y'all don't let me finish my songs,
don't let me finish my sentences. Don't let me finish my sentences.
If somebody would have told me, Joe,
that Ant-Man was gonna struggle shooting the ball tonight,
and they were gonna win this game
because Rudy Gobert was gonna be one of the few guys
in a playoff game to have a 20-20 game,
I would have said, okay, I like that.
Rudy Gobert came into the game averaging three points
and six rebounds on the night.
And he gave you 27 and 24.
He gave you nine offensive rebounds.
They had 18 offensive rebounds.
They crushed the Lakers on the glass, 54 to 37.
18 to eight on the offensive end,
36 to 29 on the defensive end,
for a total of 54 for the Wolves, 37 for the Lakers.
And you get Ant-Man shooting five of 19 for 15 points.
You got Jay and Daniel that was in foul trouble.
He ended up fouling out with only eight points.
Mike Conley did hit a big three down the stretch,
but he only had eight points.
But again, it was the undoing of their bench.
They got 22 points from their bench.
The Lakers got four
I'm gonna say this and i'm gonna turn it over to you joe
jj stubborn
For him not to play
Jackson Hayes to play maxi cleaver who hadn't played. I don't know the last time he played and you play him
And a lot of these guys like and like i'm saying i'm not saying it would have made a difference
But it's like you're not don't play the guy at all after Rudy because you put LeBron into four you're so small you're really really small cuz LeBron is six
nine so LeBron is the tallest guy you got and Rudy just was playing tap tap
tap tap tap what did you like how to how were the wolves able to win this game
on and on the road in a hostile environment? I I think the T was really knew it was at stake tonight
You know knowing that they want to try to go and get this over with you know the Lakers look so lethargic on to start
The game is like they did he would no sense of urgency
He was had all the energy they had the sense of urgency as if they was on the brink
You know what I mean, and they kind of controlled the whole entire game.
It wasn't one time in the game that I thought the Lakers,
you know, even though they made their little surge
at the end of the trip, they had got a one-point lead.
But I never felt threatened that they was going to win the game.
I'm going to be honest. They just had no fluidity offensively,
no chemistry. It was just pick and roll,
trying to exploit Braun in the post.
And man, even though Ant-Man, he didn't shoot well,
I thought he put a lot of pressure on those guys.
And Rudy won the game for you.
This is why you probably put Dory and Fennie Smith at the five
because you really want to eliminate Rudy.
You want to get him to where he can't play.
He's bound to have a game like this
to where he can win you a game.
And tonight, I mean, man, everything was falling away from the lobs the putbacks just being aggressive Randall
Probably I give him the game, but I know Rudy was special tonight
But Randall they have no answer for him when they run the pick and roll and get a mismatch
Even if they play great defense, he's still banging on one time getting to a great shot
You know what I mean? So their interior just has no presence and we knew this coming into the playoffs we
knew they had no interior presence and tonight though man they got worn out in
this series and the young T-Wolves took advantage man of a wounded animal
because they didn't have. Ocho you were not talking about this Ocho I said
Ocho they don't have a big.
I said, if they run into somebody with a big
that can punish them, we were looking at,
I was looking at it from a standpoint,
well, okay, if they run into a Yogi,
or if they run in, and I'm trying to think of the big
that was in there, maybe if they run into Sink Shigga.
But I wasn't thinking about Rudy Gobert
because I don't think of Rudy Gobert
as an offensive player.
This was Rudy Rudy go bears
27 points playoff career high 24 rebounds playoff career high
Don't you I'm gonna go I'm gonna let you have it out there players with at least 25 points in 20 rep and 20 rebounds on
75% field goal shooting how you like these names?
Shaquille O'Neal will Chamberlain Moses Malone whole grant West UMSL Rudy go bear
Shaq MVP will four times MVP Moses three times MVP
whole grant was a very important card to a championship in Chicago and in the at the Lakers West Unsell He just happened to be a rookie of the year and MVP in the same season, but also in the Hall of Fame
Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was good. I thought it was great tonight. I thought Rudy was great
He's in there with some of the greats now
You know, and he gave the Lakers he gave him problems tonight. Okay, oh Joe, you know know they they had no when I thought he played great off of Randall and Edwards
You know what I mean? Meaning by their aggression get into the basket whether it's him getting put
They kind of got him going cuz he scored it opened it up
Because now you come to help you come to God gets beat you go to hell you see a lobbing
Cuz here's the thing they didn't run down one play
All he did was give, he caught lobs,
and he got it off the rim and dunked it.
And he got something early.
He got a couple easy layups and dunks early,
which kinda got him going,
and he kinda carried that throughout the whole night.
And defensively, he was a monster blocking shots,
all-twenty shots, and offensively,
he was just a clean-up man.
Yeah.
What you think, Ojo?
Not only was he the clean-up man,
to piggyback on what Joe talked about,
listen, when you get cut and they tell you
not to get an ocean, they tell you not to get an ocean
for a reason.
Because one shark smell blood in the water,
but it ain't coming to get you.
And the temper will spell, they smell blood tonight.
A game like this, three one, you know,
you got to put some type of effort,
some type of intensity going forward.
The Lakers came out, they came out flat.
They came out flat.
The Wolves had already beat them, beat them at home before.
So coming into again, coming into the hostile environment, they already got
confident, because listen, we've already done it before.
So what's the chance that we can do it again?
The likelihood is probably good.
Even with Anthony Edwin not having the type of game you have to have, you have the
unlikely person that comes out and wins the game for you. Rudy Gobert, he dominated
both into the court, neutralized LA drives, he feasted on second chance points.
Fuck, you're looking bad. It's looking bad.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted
to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their
neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got
heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've
ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi for a conversation that's anything
but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories
that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

The Kistons go to New York and beat the Knicks.
Cade Cunningham 24 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists.
Asour Thompson 22 points on 8 of 10 field goals.
7 rebounds, 2 blocks.
Tobias Harris 17, 8, 4 blocks.
Jalen Durin 9 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks.
The game is really, really close.
The Pistons have scored 421 points, the Knicks 429.
Rebounds, 180, Pistons are dominating this category.
182 to 148 plus 34.
Three points made, 44 for the Pistons, 47 for the Knicks.
Turnovers, had it not been for
turnover, Detroit might have been one of their series. No joke. 70 turnovers to 46,
points in the paint, 176 to 180 in favor of the Knicks. But the
games have been very, very close. And who knows, had they called that foul
Sunday, we might be having a different conversation today
Yeah, we might be even even with them squandering away to 21 point lead with letting the Knicks going at 21
They're 21 old none run, but I think this has been an even
Two teams who are pretty even to me if you ask me but Detroit is just so gritty
The biggest discrepancy and what I see is in the free throws on
Detroit Detroit shot 16 for 27 tonight. I
Mean other Nick shot 16 for 27 59 percent and Detroit was 26 for 36 from the line
The Nick's miss 11
Miss 11 free throws shoot 59 percent from the line you lose by one.
You like that.
They out there compete man.
I think Detroit has kind of watered Nick down a little bit
if you just want me to be honest.
Like this is a bruising series.
I mean, you look at Brunson,
I didn't think he was gonna come back
for the game in Detroit, but he did.
And they ended up winning.
And I think it's just kind of, you know,
as the games go on, you know,
I think it kind of wears him down.
That's why I say early in the series, you to pick him up full court bump and grind all that by the time
We get the game six five seven. Yeah, he's gonna be broken down a little bit no
Yeah, give the warm down do the regular season playing at 43 44 minutes a night. Yeah, you're the Caesar
That's what I'm down because in the playoffs it continues
It's not like it stops in the playoffs.
You know what I mean?
He only got a rotation of seven, eight guys,
and you ain't got really.
That's in the regular season.
Anybody cut that down to six in the postseason.
You know, all eight guys are pretty average today.
They didn't have nobody who kinda, you know,
stepped up and separated themselves,
to, you know, baby pull his win off.
But this one, I think this one going seven man and
I got Detroit pulling out at seven. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you got Detroit winning this one.
Man this you know the Knicks are not gonna lose this I listen I know they they squandered tonight
listen the Knicks had what 13 turnovers they missed 11 free throws nigga Jalen Brunson in
the car into his town they were nine nine for 30 throws nigga Jaylen Brunson in car into his town
They were nine nine for 30, you know shoot the night Brunson only scoring 16
Uh, I think what towns towns has 17
I think it was more so the turnovers even though they they they barely lost
I don't think Jaylen Brunson has another game like this. He's not gonna have another game like this
This was the down game for him, you know scoring scoring 17 16 tonight
But I don't I don't16 tonight. But I don't see
them losing this game. I mean, excuse me, losing this series. It was just a bad night tonight.
It was a bad- Day time. They look low down on me, I'm going to be honest with you. And to play
another, got to go back to Detroit now and play in Detroit, travel. I think Detroit doing what they
want as far as wearing them down, making this a long series is out. It's going to be in Detroit travel. I think Detroit doing what they want
as far as wearing them down,
making us a long series is out.
It's gonna be in Detroit's favor.
Yeah.
If you look at the bench,
Schroeder is coming in giving great minutes.
Lee Beasley is giving them tremendous minutes.
They had 26 bench points.
They outscored them on the bench,
six, 19. They had 26 bench points. They outscored him on the bench. 619. So they outscored them 26 to 19 on the bench and you see the difference in the ball game.
But I think when Schruedter comes in, he does a great job. He gets Cade Cunningham off the ball.
He's making timely shots. He's distributing the ball. Malik Beasley's coming in, making some
timely threes. I love Ansoor Thompson. I love the way he plays.
He's aggressive.
He can, hey, and he's a two way player.
He can pick up full court.
Hey, he can put the ball on the floor, get to the rim.
He's rebounding.
I just say, J.B. Bickerstaff has done an unbelievable job
with this team.
And you can see why he was in the running
for Coach of the Year.
I get Kenny Atkinson one, I got no problem with that. They were the he was in the running for coach of the year. I get Kenny Atkinson one I got no problem with that
They were the best team in the East record-wide from start to finish
But what JB Bickerstaff has done with this team
Oh, yeah
And to get them into the the sixth seed and get them in a situation where they could possibly get out of the first round
He's done a heck of a job and he should be commended because these young guys now they get one more piece
I still believe they're a piece away from truly truly contending a heck of a job and he should be commended because these young guys, now they get one more piece.
I still believe they're a piece away
from truly, truly contending.
But they got some young guys, what?
They got 45 rebounds.
They got out rebounded a little bit
because you know, you've got a seven foot cat,
you got a six, 11, seven foot Mitchell Robinson
and they just got the one big.
But give those guys credit.
I thought they were gritty.
And even though when the Knicks went on that run and passed them up, that's a young team on the road and they kept
it together. They kept their poise and they ended up coming back, going their own run,
take the lead, lead and never look back.
They were special, man. They were special. You're going to have to give, you know, you're
going to have to look out for Detroit, give them credit. I don't think K didn't play a
great game. He was six or 17 from the field the field before the most part, you know, he controlled the game. I love his aggression
Yes, we are three toes made 11 of them. So it lets me know, you know, he ain't just selling for job
The aggressive get into the cup. But yeah, like you say the Thompson kid
eight for ten
No him get into the line. He was six for 12 from the line,
but he's been aggressive as well.
So, you know, Detroit has enough to advance out this series.
They just got to be poised and patient, you know,
especially down the stretch and closing these games.
That's the difference.
Hold on, hold on.
Go ahead, go ahead, Ocho.
Hey, hold on, man.
Cause this is the second time I heard Joe say this.
And not only you saying that Detroit
I'm gonna close this series out in seven, but you saying it with confidence
Like how much do you really believe in in the Pistons? I'm just cute. I believe I believe in them a lot
Oh, Joe, they young they they ready for the moment. They understand the moment
I mean, they don't want in the they don't want in the garden and one two games, bro. I
Mean we talk we talk about we talk about big body Brunson, right? Car Anthony Towns Josh Hart. Yeah
You show you show that them boys them boys nice. They play hard. I like it. I think they went out
Oh, I'm gonna be honest with you, man
Okay. Well, I'm saying you you you willing to put some money on that. Oh, man

He don't even know you in partner.
Hold on, hold on.
Hey, Joe, boy, you seen me play tennis, right?
I ain't seen.
Boy, listen, I play, but listen, I'm telling you, listen, I lie for you before I lie to
you.
Now, I could play some tennis.
The clips, you can see the clips, and the uncle bounce for me, people in the check and bounce for me. I played tennis growing up. I'm very good at tennis. So switching the pickleball
Hey, I'm gonna be all over the court. I'm telling you know you just asked that man
You say hey, oh Joe come down here and play this you got this pickleball tournament. Yeah
I thought it was solo. I thought it was so don't go to say
Hey, hold on what what's the date?
Let me know.
It's in the Hamptons though, Ocho.
It's in the Hamptons.
Sag Harbor, upstate.
Upstate who?
Don't worry about it, Joe.
Wait, wait, I'm learning about history.
I'm learning about my history.
It's upstate New York.
Oh, that's right there. How far is that from the Bronx?
Like, how far is it here?
You got a helicopter?
I ain't getting on the helicopter.
I'm not there.
Or you could drive.
It's probably, I'm assuming it's probably a couple of hours.
A couple of hours.
I would have, yeah.
Hey, but your ladder movement like that, you like that?
Boy, you ain't that, boy, you better Google, you better YouTube me, boy.
D-Feed don't play.
Hey, listen, I play tennis on the big court, my lateral movement is phenomenal.
It's like I'm still 22 years old, right?
But then you think about pickleball, the court is so small, so it takes me to get from one
end to the other if I'm playing solo in like three steps.
Yeah.
So my short area quickness is still there. Nothing has really changed.
I'm still real twitchy, so I'm excited. Just let me know the dates so I can block those off.
I got you.
I'm ready.
Yeah, we're gonna get to it.
Yeah.
Wait, how much? How much? How much? We went $100,000?
It's 90 minutes.
It's a 90 minute drive.
Oh, that ain't bad.
But most people won't jump, most people take the helicopter.
No, I ain't. No, no, no, no, because that sound like it costs too much.
I drive, I can get a rental car for $60.
I promise you, if you got a house in the Hamptons, you not worried about no cost to your helicopter.
You probably own the helicopter.
Hey, hold on, wait, wait, time out, time out. I hold it the hamptons like for the rich folk, huh? Yes
Joe you got you got a house. I got some people that I know some people know some people, you know
I'm saying like we good
Okay, okay. I like like like rich like rich people. I know some people oh Joe. Hey, oh, you know you
Know how plenty room we got some room now, you know, y gonna have plenty of room. We got some room now.
You know, y'all can come down and have,
yeah, I mean, when is, hey, is it June?
When is it?
I'm gonna get y'all the dates.
I'm gonna send y'all the dates.
I'm gonna ask you.
Y'all might, I'm like, hey, I need a place I can
let my hair down, I can relax and laugh at Ocho
when he go out there in the ball, he let me just hear you.
Oh no, now you know I know how to play.
Listen, hey Joe, ping pong, ping pong,
I'm the Liberty City ping pong champ and over town too.
I'm ping, I'm him, I'm, I'm,
That's me Ocho, Ocho, who you think they call
to train the Asian to play table tennis?
Ocho, yes, your boy.
Wait, who?
Oh, you can't play no table tennis.
You can't even see you wear glasses.
Hello.
Hey, hey, chat, chat, do me a favor.
Chat.
Y'all send Joe on Twitter and Instagrams.
Send him some clips of me playing tennis.
So he understands how good I am.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah. Yeah. yeah, pickleball.
You ain't good.
But I like, Joe, I agree with you.
I think this is gonna be a seven game series.
I do think, I think the Pistons gonna tie this thing up
three-three and they're gonna come back.
Now, this is not gonna be a good look for the Knicks
if they lose this series.
Because remember, they had the lead on the,
last year they had the lead on the Pacers.
And the Pacers win game six, and then they go into next,
they go into game seven, and they blow them out
on their home court.
Ooh, I don't know, Tibbs, lose this one.
Might be, you might be in trouble.
Might be in the hot seat.
But yeah, that's just my gut feeling.
I like how the Pistons playing.
Look, every game, you ain't gonna win,
every game is not gonna be pretty.
You gotta win some ugly games, you know?
Yeah, I think tonight was one of those ugly games that they ended up pulling out and that ain't nothing but, you know,
more experience for their young team over there.
Especially on the road. It's one thing to win a closed game at home, but you go on the road into a hostile environment.
We don't understand what Madison Square M.S.G.
We understand what that is and that's a gritty team to Knicks and to go in there and get a hostile environment. We don't understand what Madison Square MSG, we understand what that is.
And that's a gritty team to Knicks
and to go in there and get a hard fought victory,
Pistons got a lot of confidence.
The Celtics blows out the magic.
Game five, Jason Tatum was sensational.
35 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists.
Celtics are 71 all time in the playoffs when they record,
when he records 10 assists.
Jason Tatum's last three games, he went 35, eight and 10,
37, 14 and three, 36, nine and four.
He's playing like that.
And then you got Jaylen Brown gave you 23 and six.
It's gonna be hard to stop him.
Hey, hey, you know what?
And Joe, it's almost unfair. It's still. Joe, it's almost unfair.
It's still, yeah, it's almost unfair just watching them.
I think about fair play when it comes to salary cap and it's like, how do you have all these players, not only do you have all these players that are good, not just a starting five, the goddamn bench comes in. They're paying pressure, Sam Houser.
Yeah.
And they don't miss a beat.
Obviously the game of basketball is a game of runs,
but you don't feel bad about subbing
or having people come in and out the game
because you understand what you're getting
once your starters go out.
It's unfair.
And I hate to jump the gun,
but I'm sure it's fair for me to be able to say,
and I'm sure the chat would agree with me that
The Celtics are probably gonna end up winning the NBA championship again
And if they keep if they keep if they keep the same squad together
There's a chance they win that motherfucker get next year, too. It's possible. It's possible. The guys coming off the bench, man
They barely missed shots tonight. I mean they they weren't playing with Orlando. They really close
Man Orlando had a lead and next thing I know they down by 20
Now you know hey I couldn't get the game for I wasn't I wasn't on my phone and you know the thing is
It don't go so, you know, I'm the I forgot it did I hit the little back arrow? Oh Joe
So, you know, I'm the I forgot did I hit the little back arrow coach? Oh
Orlando need a they need a point guard over there with Ben Carroll and Wagner
Involved. Yeah, they need they do they need a baby over there
Jail of cells and normally point guard. I
Don't know why did he play Cole I don't know Cole Anthony might have been hurt
These two minutes he gave him some decent minutes.
Not a up go.
But I'm saying he didn't play a whole lot in the series.
He played this.
It seemed like he played this game out of desperation.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like we ain't great.
Let's throw all we got.
Because he ain't been playing on the red.
Because I watch him like, well, damn, where's Suggs?
I know, excuse me, Cole Anthony.
Suggs is Nick currently.
Jalen Brown had 23.6 rebounds.
Boston has won 16 straight playoff games
when he scored 20 or more points.
That's crazy, man.
They got a two-headed monster.
Cause think about it.
You got JT and JB.
You got Derrick White that can give you a solid 20.
You got Przingus that can give you 20.
You got Holliday that's gonna play on both ends of the court
and can get you somewhere, 12 or 16.
You got Al Horford, Big Al, ain't no telling.
Hey, he gonna play outstanding defense.
He gonna rebound for you.
He gonna get some shots.
Can give you double digits.
Then you get Peyton Pritchett coming off the bench.
You get Cole Howser coming off the bench.
They got a cornet.
They got a bunch of guys chipping in, man.
A bunch of guys chipping in.
That's that championship pedigree.
They know they rolls, they play it to the tee, they starting their rolls.
It's going to be tough to beat them in a seven game series.
Okay, who you are?
J.K. Reddick said fatigue wasn't a factor in the Lakers' loss Sunday night.
Reddick became the first coach to use the same five for the entire half of game since at least 1998,
as far back as substitution tracking goes.
JJ said today,
our two best players missed layups at the rim,
and I don't think they missed layups
because they were tired.
I spoke to everyone yesterday,
they would have potentially played the second half,
and they all understood.
There was no issue with that.
LA has been outscored 105 to 69 in the fourth quarter
of this series, they're shooting 25 of 78, a 32%.
Hey, Ung.
That's Fatigue.
Yes.
Hey, Ung, the famous phrase when you play sports,
Fatigue makes a fool of us all.
Makes cowards of us all, but yes.
That too.
Easy layups, easy layup, easy layup, layups.
That's fatigue.
Lack of concentration, lack of focus.
One of the easiest shots to make.
That's fatigue.
Yes.
Come on, man.
Come on, come on, J.J.
Come on, man.
You ask LeBron, I don't care what LeBron says. I don't man. Come on. Come on, Jay. Come on, man.
You got to ask LeBron.
I don't care what LeBron says.
I don't care what he says.
He's playing.
He played 46 minutes on 40 year old legs.
There's a reason why he only took two shots.
He had zero points in the fourth quarter.
He was exhausted.
And it's physical.
Luca played four.
Yes!
Because you got to bank Julius Randall.
You got to chase somebody.
It's not like you're just standing out there like,
you're a traffic cop.
Right, right.
You got to move.
You see Ant-Man out there taking the challenge.
They have a whole shoving match out there.
That take energy, bro, to do that.
You know, he ain't just walk down to the block,
catch it on your spot and get comfortable.
He fighting and then you fight me down to this spot
by the time he get the ball,
you're gonna be a little exhausted.
And that's the whole plan.
Wrestling, wear him down.
Man, you can't play no whole half or no NBA
basketball, play off basketball and don't think with that intensity,
with the focus that's required.
Yeah, I'll say that definitely was fatigued for me.
I mean, I've just seen careless mistakes.
For sure. You know, careless mistakes.
And what was he supposed to say?
Of course you're not going to say fatigue because you allow those guys to play that many minutes.
So that would make you look bad.
Of course you're not going to say fatigue
wasn't part of it because it was your decision.
I disagree.
I think most people would disagree with you
that fatigue wasn't an issue.
There's a, if fatigue wasn't an issue,
teams would be playing their guys
for 24 minutes in the second half all the time.
Nobody does that.
Yeah.
Nobody does that for a reason.
But listen, hey, Uncle Joe,
nobody does that for a reason,
but in the Lakers situation,
they don't have a choice but to do it.
They even have a chance.
They got six points from their bench.
They got six points from their bench and theoretically wasn't a bench because
Fannie Smith played the entire second half.
So the problem that they're running into is that Minnesota is able to play
Rudy Gobert for 20 minutes.
They can't play Jackson, Jackson Hayslip for six.
So now you bring, now you put LeBron at the five.
Now he has to bang Julius Randall or he has to, you know, so, so at
some point in time gave Vincent, uh, Jackson Hayes, he lost all
confidence and don't connect.
Cause he doesn't don't connect his DNP coaching decision.
And he might get help him by spacing the floor and knocking down some
threes, but he can't remember his defensive assignment.
He can't remember the rotation of what he's supposed to do.
Do I hedge?
Do I go with the road?
What do I do?
Do I do?
And I think, so JJ, I think it's a lot of pressure
on the perimeter guys too.
Austin Reeves, Luke, I just.
Yeah.
It's a lot of pressure on them,
not only to score, but to defend.
Let me tell you something in
This atmosphere playoff atmosphere if you can't guard the first dribble or two
To give to give yourself some time to where we can at least get eyes on the man or give you a little help
They win but you can beat off the first move on Joe man
We can't get help there fast enough to help you man look
They're gonna paint they get in the teeth our defense and doing whatever they want
cuz look if they get past the guards our back line defenses brawn and during finish milk and
Yeah, oh really? Yeah, and it's like you know you have no you have no rim protection
You know you you you and scramble mode every defensive possession, and it's just tough. It's just going to be hard for them to win. I think the size that the Timberwolves have may take advantage of
it.
It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome another amigo
to their podcast Dos Amigos. Wilmer's friend and former That 70 Show castmate Topher Grace
stops by the Speakeasy for a two-part interview
to discuss his career and reminisce about old times.
We were still in that place of like,
what will this experience become?
And you go, you're having the best time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was like such a perfect golden time.
Listen to Dos Amigos on the iHeart radio app,

And the dream season is now complete.
The Golden State Warriors are the 2015 NBA champions. you get your podcasts. you hear that you're being benched. For the entire behind the scenes story of Golden State's incredible 10 year run,

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes,
host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots
and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the god damn best love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures, and your guide on Good Company,
the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything
but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there
and if you can find a way to curate
and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience
is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing,
technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. I agree with you, Joe.
I think the thing is what's happening is that first of all, Luca can't stop nobody after
the first dribble.
So they're getting around him and so you bring him, guys getting, putting the guys that's
in the dunker spot are getting wild for shots and a shooter on threes
So now and then Ant-Man and man's to keep said he keeps all stories or he keeps ruin or he keeps
Luca in the pick and roll. Okay. No, I want him bring him to me and
Then they let him play one-on-one. You can't let Ant-Man play one on one. He's a supreme skilled one on one player.
You gotta make him play team ball.
Make somebody else beat you.
Especially just like tonight.
We saw Jamal Murray get hot.
He had 43 just like Ant-Man.
And what happened?
They let him play one on one.
Okay, you let a guy get hot and you let him play one on one.
I think what has happened is by them trapping Ant-Man
or kind of putting him in this little cage
To uh, you know make him get a ball up. He's making the right plays
Okay, Ocho and them guys are making the Lakers pay whether it's McDaniel's getting dogs or threes or Randall
You know making the right play when he catches the free throw line where he attacking the basket because they ain't got no rim protection
And he's getting to the line shooting free throws or whatever he he
wants and then in the fourth quarter when Ant Man sees he know he can beat
the double team anytime he wants he starts being a double team and he starts
putting the onus on the Lakers as far as getting in the paint making plays
shooting the threes and now you can't stop that. But there's a thing though Joe
is that if you go back and look at Sunday's game,
he's raising up, shooting three, just.
Try to even get the ball out of his hand.
See, I wanna make guys, I wanna make,
let's see if Jay McDaniel can make those plays
in the fourth quarter with five minutes to go.
I know Ant-Man can beat me.
Ant-Man is one of the five or six great best players
in the NBA.
So I know what he's more than capable of doing.
Right. Okay, let's see what you got Josh
But Jay Mcdane you got that thing. I think he can do it. He's he showing this he's showing and proving this series on there
Well, he's gonna see it again. Yeah, I want to see it. I'll be open that man gonna be confident
He gonna take these shots. He gonna attack the basket
I think defensively when he plays great defense
It kind of fuels his offense
You know what I mean? I think that's kind of all of them and if you notice Minnesota they guards they don't give up a lot of easy
I know Luca can go on a run. I know AR can get hot but for the most part they sit down and guard man
They send that guard. Yeah
Yeah, but the difference is is that Lucas shooting over the top?
Those guys are breaking you down getting to the basket. Mm-hmm. There's a difference. Look
There's a greater chance that you're gonna miss that 27 28 footer than me missing this this layer. Yeah
Cuz you see what's happening and it's finishing at the rim or they're following it. They ain't got no no trouble guys are finished
finishing at the rim or they filing it. They ain't got no choice.
Guys are finished.
We really don't have, I mean,
Luca can beat you off the dribble,
but it's not, it's because of savviness.
He ain't gonna just, he ain't gonna just,
and buy you.
He gonna herky jerky, you know,
he gonna sit down on you.
He gonna, hey, step through you,
off the glass and stuff like that.
We got this tomorrow night though.
Whoa, whoa, here we go. Here we go again. got this tomorrow night though. Yeah. Whoa. What? Here we go
Here we go and get this tomorrow night don't you so hold on. Hold on. You said Lakers and five, right?
So obviously that's not there's no chance for that. So you still feel the Lakers have a chance to win this series
Come on keep you and you you really believe that though. I'm serious
No, I don't believe that he? I'm serious.
No, I don't believe that. He just going with it because he's been rolling with them all.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on, Jonah.
You say we ain't gonna win tomorrow night?
No, no, I don't got y'all. I got Minnesota coming in there.
I got them coming to La La Land, throwing a whole party up in there in crypto
And you know what happened if y'all lose them all right?
And then after cuz we not losing I'm just saying you know what's going down the hypothetically speaking Do you know what I do hypotheticals? I don't do hypotheticals
Hypothetically if I slip in my garage, I'll be a maybach
But guess what hypothetical since you think if that's all if you sleep in your garage, I'll be a baby. But guess what hypothetical since you that if that's all you sleep in your garage
Nope. No, you you a fool. Okay, you can't be inside of the bed
So that why I bet but puts up on it Joe. If they make you nervous what you are
Yeah, what about it? Well, I like
Yeah
Well, I'm like Yeah, you can't be you know, I've been with you. Yeah, I'm trying to strike. Oh, it's okay money
I earned him. I earned the stripes. I'm more stripes on my helmet up
What you call them? Hey, you remember playing club?
We say doing would play dollar bill
I put a dollar bill will play st. Louis and he come cut running out there they do it for the little man
They were carrying him up had his head all in the car
What the put the cigarette out of his nose? Yeah?
He's going to double man yo yo yo yo your rap shit ain't that good right now, brother
Now my rap she good I listen the only person I ain't paid back is on everybody else and got they got they do
Yeah Let go of that you know what you know what
Let's bet it the West that's better than a chop so they're that chops, you know
Man, y'all bet y'all bet. Sorry
Nah, hey cuz cuz he already know when they see mr. Sharp on the thing
They already go and cut that that ten ounce of wagyu a5
They already know when I come they go ahead cut that thing out cuz they already know what I'm order ten ounce who?
That wagyu a5
It's a lie, Ocho
Yeah, yeah wagyu yeah, yeah, they ain't got that at McDonald's
Now I'm saying I I had some of the uh the waggle from um, I went somewhere and I told uncle about it
I had they like they brought it to the table. It was like in little strips.
Poppies.
Yeah, yeah poppy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was I was on a little date. Yeah.
Luka Doncic has stepped up to pay for the entire expected cost of restoring a vandalized
morgue depicting Kobe and Gigi Bryant in downtown LA.
He made a donation today to cover the entire goal of a GoFundMe page created by artist
Louis Pascino.
He wants to restore the mural titled Mambas Forever at 14th and Main Street.
Luca, it's always been important to give back to the community. They gave me so much, so I just going to be in the Mambas forever at 14th and Main Street. Luca, it's always been important to give back to the community.
They gave me so much.
So I just want to...
They messed with me a lot.
I don't know why they did.
Come on, people.
And they play, listen, man.
They don't respect nothing.
They don't even care no more about nothing.
Man, I thought y'all, I thought they...
Look, no matter how the love, oh, great you were,
somebody is not gonna take it.
Somebody, everybody don't like everybody.
Yeah.
So we just gotta come to that conclusion like,
man, Kobe, I fuck with you.
Yeah, most people do like Kobe.
90% of the people in LA love Kobe.
But ain't gonna be, there's never a such a situation
where it's all or every.
Yeah. So once you remove all or every from your vocabulary, you be good.
I just, they're just thinking about it man. Obviously the passing of one of the
greatest to ever play the game and the still tragic passing. Yeah the tragic
passing but the even bothers Amuro With great understanding what Kobe means for that by that city what he's done for the Lakers
Organization and the people of LA they even want to vandalize a mural is beyond me
Beyond me. I agree. It's crazy. Yeah
It's more it says more about them than I mean
I mean think about what it takes
to go vandalize something.
You ain't got nothing going on in your life.
I don't know, yeah, you destroyed some property
that you didn't buy, that is not yours.
People always destroy you.
Hey, you wanna destroy something?
Destroy your issue.
Hey, that's ridiculous.
Don't mess with my business.
They wanna go viral.
We in the A.
Anything you do, go viral.
They gonna catch the right person on the wrong day
and they gonna be viral.
Oh, won't happen.
Man, man.
Yeah.
God damn COVID.
Stephon Castle is the recipient
of the Will Chamberlain trophy,
the 2025 NBA rookie of
the year.
Spurs and one back to back, or MVPs.
Castle 25, Victor Winmanyama 24, and they're the first teammates to go back to back since.
You know, Ochoa, who's the last teammates to go back to back?
Back to back, uh, uh, rookie rookie of the year.
Andrew Wiggins and Carl.
No, don't turn your head.
You turn your head the other way.
It's still going to be correct.
They got a big, got a promising future.
You know, they get sick.
He gets some help with that.
They're going gonna be high
There's way You can think about it, you know, because first I mean
Wimby wanted Castle not wanted David Robinson wanted Tim Duncan wanted so they've had for
Forgetting and about two years when we might be the best thing in the league
He created incredible I mean for me he he shoots a little bit too many threes for me
I like a get your big long tall butt down on that block and you turn over one of your shoulders
But hey, that's that's where that's where these guys are. Yeah
According to there have been whispers around the league that the San Antonio Spurs could be a
potential landing spot for one Kevin Durant
You like Wimby and KD together I do I do
Look like he going somewhere in Texas, but I would love to see KKD and Wimby Oh, Nico has to go try to make a move for me in Dallas. Yeah. Yeah. I
Don't know what I don't know what he, I don't know what he,
I don't know if with terms of draft picks,
now we know he got one of the Lakers draft picks.
I don't know if that's enough.
I don't know if the Spurs won't, that draft pick
and one of those bigs lively or Gafford or somebody else
because he's really, he wants to compare,

Six, five, six first round picks.
