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. Max Bruce sent a group text to his Cavs teammates before game five.

If you don't believe, don't show up for work. He went 0 for 9 in the elimination game. 0 for 9. He didn't believe, don't show up for work. He went 0 for 9 in the elimination game. 0 for 9. He didn't believe. When TV guys do this stuff and try to be leaders, you just don't leave because you're in the playoff. You got to leave the whole season. That's when your leadership shows there.

You wouldn't have to do that. Guys, since the urgent real kick in, he wouldn't have to do that. I mean, the Cavs, you know, that's my hometown. It's my hometown. It's just something, they're just a regular season team. They're not a playoff team.

They don't have, they're not fit for the playoff. They're talented, though, don't resonate with the playoff. You know, you got the two bigs both do the same thing. They're not really scores.

They put them in pick and roll. They're not physical. I mean, you know, Donovan, you know, he tried, he got hurt again. See, like,

the pressure hit him. The pressure hit him, and he went 64 games. You got at least to make it to the Eastern Conference Final. You're supposed to. You're not supposed to lose 3-1. You're not supposed to lose 4-1. Not 3 games at home out of the 4-1. All 3. All 3 at home. All 3 4-1. All three. Huh? All three at home.

All three of your home games you lost. And you had a lead the first two games. You gave those first two games away, Oak. Well, Dwayne Boston did. They had a lead 2-20. So, that's why I say it's up in the air. You know, but I think out of all these teams playing hard, you got to just wait until they get there and pick between them two.

Because, like I said, Jimbo got a big game tomorrow with OKC. OKC is grinding. That series might go six, might go seven. It's game six tomorrow. I believe it's going to go seven. I believe the Nuggets are going to win. It's going to go seven. You think the Nuggets are going to win?

I think the Nuggets are going to win game six, and the series is think the Nuggets are going to win? Wow. I think the Nuggets are going to win game six, and the series is going to go seven, going to go back to OKC. Okay. So who do you think are going to win out of OKC? You know what? I believe the Nuggets are going to win game six. They can get it to game seven. I think the Nuggets are winning.

Damn. So it'll be another matchup like last year in the West End final? Yep. Wow, that'd be big. And then if New York be ending, that'd be last year's semifinal in the Eastern Cup Final. Yes. First of all, you really need the Knicks to make it

because nobody else is going to generate ratings. Yeah. Indiana, don't nobody want to see no Indiana. I'm sorry, Indiana. I love Halle. Halle's playing unbelievable I like the team

I like how they get up and down I mean it's a very exciting brand of basketball to watch but they're not gonna New York you got New York

that big market the market in general and then they got and they got fans all across the country so you're gonna have to pair New York with somebody

well they were probably lucky New York and be New York and Minnesota. New York and Minnesota would be a good match. Yes. Because Ant-Man, he's rising up. Yep. I agree. I agree.

He's rising up. Gigi Jackson says the Grizzlies call players they target on defense pigeons and that their goal is to go after guys like Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry. Let's take a listen to what Gigi had to say. During the walkthrough, when we go over the matchups, the very next slide is pigeons, and we'll have whoever the players are for pigeons.

You know, when we try to play the Nuggets, we want to get Jokic in a lot of ball screens with guys really going full speed downhill at him. He's not really the best at the rim, but make sure he keeps the ball protected because he can get his hands in there to swipe down.

Who else? With the Warriors series, you want to get Curry in a lot of screens, ISO situations like that, but it's definitely discussed a lot. If we can get these guys... Be careful, Gigi. When you find yourself in the ISO now, be careful.

I done been in a couple. Better not be a pigeon. I'm a couple of pigeons. Hey, we do the same thing in football too, Nat. Yeah. When we go over to defensive plan, you know, the pigeon, the weak link,

there's always a weak link going deep. Oh, it always... Who are we going to attack? The defensive... But I ain't saying that publicly. Oh, okay.

Well, shit. I would. You're talking about guys that got three MVPs between the two of them and five... And two of the 75 greatest players

they ever played. But also, even with those accolades, right, on their resume, on defense, they what? A liability. Liability. Yeah, they understand that.

But the Yogi's going to give you 60, 20, and 12. Steph Curry going to make 15 threes on you. And you're talking about a pitch. You're right. The question is, can you exploit them more on defense than they can exploit you on offense?

Ah. Well, Lucas shows you it can be done. Yes. And it governs L.A. rotation. He can't rotate. He can't get loose ball. He's just there. I mean, yeah, he can score, get to the free throw line,

but in the long run, you need 50-50 balls. Right. You got to get some of them. It's a lot of defense work, because when the L.A. was trying to double-team, you didn't double-team, but they sloped back and get back in their rotation to get back to the ball or get back to the basket or get back to a body.

So it's a lot of work when you double-team. That's why he always going to be on the back line because when he come up, he get exposed. And I think the thing is that Luka,

every year come playoff time, he wears down. You know he got these nagging injuries, he's limping. I mean, he's 26, but he's moving

like he's 38. He got a bad body, Shannon. He's 6'7". He's nagging injuries. He's limping. I mean, he's 26, but he's moving like he's 38. He's got a bad body, Shannon. He's 6'7". He's 240, but he ain't muscled. He's fat. He's fat way more. Yeah. You know, his body, like, your body only gives you so much.

Natural. You got to prepare for the moment. Yeah. You know, like JJ said, we got to be in playoff and championship shape. We just can't be in regular season shape. But, you know, they don't work out once

the season get going now. They do limit stuff so you can get out of shape. You can be in shape because you got the ball in your hand but later on in the season, when people start running at you, running around you, you can see that, wow, my condition is not there. But it's a new style of basketball now. They try to get in shape while they're playing.

And then you can't be drinking and eating bad food. Hey, Unc, I saw the report, too, that A-Oak and Unc, the Lakers, are looking for and trying to hire a strengthening and dissonant coach. That's kind of bad. I mean, I mean, I mean, no, just the team already got that. You talk about L.A. one of the two or three top franchise ever. You tell me that's going to be a discussion. That's a striker on the franchise.

I think, hold on. I know the Mavs are looking for a strength and conditioning coach. Yeah, the Lakers are looking for

a strength and conditioning coach. But you know, a lot of the top players have their own guys. Why didn't you look at Luke Lefkowitz, ma'am? But I guess AD and Kyrie

got guys going down but you know a lot of the top guys have their own guys yeah I mean at his level but how you make

all NBA five years in a row and you ain't in shape that's I mean I mean it's just all offense

they could critique you all all NBA it can't be defense yeah no he ain't he ain't gonna make no all defense I mean, it's just all offense. They could critique you all NBA. It can't be defense. Yeah. No, he ain't going to make it all defense. It can't be multiple things.

It's just one thing. If you have to go with 25. If you have to go with 25 points, you're all NBA. Basically. Hey, honestly, if the Lakers knew it was right, they want to bring somebody in to help Luka. He might be the only one who has a deficiency in that area as far as wearing down and having small knickknacks and injuries, you know, towards the end of the season.

I mean, their best bet for them to do was to bring me in. It might not work. Shit. What's up? Sometimes, you know, like when CeCe played for the Yankees, he lost that weight. He lost the fastball. And now he lose weight.

You know, he might lose something. Right. He might not be able to jump until you pump fake three-po time. Sometimes he might need that weight to make his game go. Right. But you know what? But, oh, you watch the European players. You was in when they had, when Sabonis was in the

league. You was in the league with the Hashton Runas, Marcelonas, Tony Kukoc, all those guys. They look the same. Those European guys, that's their body. You've never seen a European body, a European guy with muscle, with calves on his shoulders and built like that.

You've never seen one. Look at Jokic. Look at Przingis. Look at Sabonis. Look at all those guys. They built like that. You've never seen one. Look at Jokic. Look at Przingis. Look at Sabonis. Look at all those guys. They built the same. Yeah. They probably never got into lifting weights and stuff. It might be a European thing. Right. You're right.

It's not important. They might just use bands, jumping rope and stuff. Yep. I believe that's what it is. We talked about LeBron's tweet last night. This is what he said, Oak. Hallie effing Hoopin, where's the lames who said he was overrated? Quiet as hell, that boy nice. Even more someone everyone would love to play with.

This is what Rachel Nichols said. If you look at how many players even answered who's overrated question, only 90 of the 450 players in the NBA. Then you see only 14.4% of the 90 voted for Tyrese Halliburton. It masks out to 13 guys. Obviously, it should have been zero, but the NBA is the most petty league on earth. Oh, what do you think about the players? Are we making too much out of this?

Basically, 13 players said Hallie was overrated. I mean, yeah, we're making too much out of it. Okay. I think he's a great team player. He's doing for his team to win. You know, he's trying to have a 25-point. There's a team that move the ball around. Everybody get the ball to the open guy.

And, you know, the team must feel happy with what he do night in and night out. They gave him a guarantee. You know, they gave him a distinction like two years ago. Yeah, they gave him a chance. Yeah. And plus, he's on the dream team. And I think that he's a good kid. He's a face, you know, for the Pacers.

Like I said, they back-to-back, easy to come, you know, finals. So, hey, every team needs a guy. You know, you ain't got to be the guy that have a 25-point so you need that guy that you can go to and know that he got your back and he seems like he's a real general guy and, you know, all the teammates

praise him. So, hey, you know, people always, you know, say this and that about your game, but as long as you know what you bring to your team, that's all that matters. That's all that matters. I told Unk, right,

I said, the players that actually voted that might have said something, I just said they only said it because his game wasn't aesthetically pleasing. It wasn't nice to watch. It's beautiful to watch

goddamn Kyrie Irving. It's beautiful to watch Shay, what he does. You know, it's beautiful to watch goddamn Kyrie Irving. It's beautiful to watch Shea. Right. He does. You know, it's beautiful to watch Steph shoot threes

and come off picking rolls and picking pop and all that stuff. It's beautiful to watch Kevin Durant, you know, come off something

and pull up in the middie. But when you watch Halliburton, it's not pretty but he gets the job done. He gets the job done. He's on the second

third tier guy. He's not in the top tier of the NBA. But you know what? Everybody has a guy on their team to be the leader, be the captain. So he's that guy. If he only has a 25, but they still win, that's what's best for the team. So, you know, everybody into

the crossover, behind your back. And one, Kyrie at the rim, Curry shooting one leg, half-push shot. Yanni's coming down the gut, dunking on everybody. You know, AD, you know, do what he do. But that's what makes your team go. LeBron, to the

first team, get everybody involved. I mean, everybody got a different job. When you're a leader, my thing is, when you're at the last two years, it's hard to critique his game in a bad way because the team is there. It's a team effort. Right. And he doesn't take on the team.

Oh, tell us about the cooking, bitches. How did you learn how to cook? Man, I learned basically, you know, my family, big time cooking, grandparents, mother, aunts, and sisters. But my thing is my rookie year, you know, I had some, you know, some skills already, but traveling a lot, this and that, going in and out of the hotels,

you know, my rookie year basically had a lot of bets on the team. But, you know, I just like going to these restaurants, I just got tired of it. It's just doing the little things, you know, either burgers, spaghetti, steak, potatoes,

a little pasta, and, you know, the breakfast, spaghetti, steak, potatoes, a little pasta, and, you know, the breakfast food. So I just started adding on to it, adding on to it, but as I got good and good, all the guys on the team started coming over to eat. You know, I thought, you know, making the team thing, bringing everybody together, you know, and all that, and I just fell in love

with it, and it's relaxed me. Yeah. I saw you cook for Jay-Z, you cook for Jordan, you cook for Oprah. What did you cook for Hov? So basically, it was at MJ Ford's birthday party in D.C.

And I was, you know, like I said, Jay-Z, we was playing cards, Beyonce, everybody, Bob Johnson.

I mean, it was a lot of people. So it was a birthday party. We got Snowy at the Ritz. And so at the Ritz in Washington, they got two tiles, the north and south tile. Yes. So I was in the car, and MJ was in the rooftop. So we ended up having a party after his birthday and basically cooked two days in a row.

I mean, I just went to the store. We just got a lot of food. And, you know, they just had a good time. But I do a lot of things like that and bikes. I give guys my, my liking to, you know,

put it on their charity and auction me off and they bid on me. Matter of fact, I got one in Syracuse, New York in about two weeks going to cook for like 50 people. Basically,

I can do that by myself. But, it's just something that I just love to do. And, I really like to see a smile on people's face. And everybody said, well, you know, this and that, because I'm picky. You know

what I mean. I'll say something back in a minute. You damn feel weird. My thing with me is I know, I put my heart and soul in it. I don't want somebody sending my food back to me, so I'm going to make sure it's right. What's your favorite thing to cook, Oak? Oh, man. I tell everybody it's meat,

but I don't know. I try to cook what you like. I'm good. I'm like the alphabet. A to Z. All 26 of us. I can do 25 different things. Hey, you know how dope that is, Oak?

To have that in your toolbox. You know? Yeah. You know how to cook? Man, that stuff. I think one of the greatest things to ever have in your toolbox as a man. If you have money, if you don't have money, but if you can cook, oh, you can play an instrument.

If you can cook and play an instrument, and if you got in, you want to add the cherry on top, know how to sing as well. If you can play a different thing and know how to cook.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with

Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.

My jumper's better than his. My free throw's better than his. He's a better athlete.

I don't care. I like sandbagging. I mean, you ain't trying to win. You're sandbagging. No, I'm trying to set you. Don't worry about what I'm doing. Oh, you play two sets and over? No, that's what I'm asking. Do you don't worry about what I do oh you play you play two sets and over no we don't

that's what I'm asking do you play like that I play whatever I don't play I play first hand you get 10

that's 200 automatic win automatic win I don't play no blinds no hey okay some people play blind

I'm a runner Boston I'm a runner Boston after muscle alright well I'm a runner Boston hey hey after months I'm going to run to Boston I can already tell we already won we already won we got this one we got it

I can't wait Dave was talking about Oak I'll holler at you love oh man that's my dog there, man. Me and Oak go back a long, long way, Ocho. He used to come down to the track, work out with us. He'd come to the gym, work out with us.

Hey, we'd go eat after working out. Oak right there. So, like I said, we'd go back. He's one of the first guys that welcomed me. He was already in Atlanta. So he welcomed me to Atlanta when I moved there in 94. And we've been cool. We've been hanging ever since.

Yeah, that's live. That's live. And we're listening. All right, so Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement today on a two-year, $30 million extension. That includes $25 million fully guaranteed over the next two seasons per Todd France Athletes First. It's the largest deal in NFL history for a running back over the age of 30.

D. Henry is 31. Yeah. I mean, rightfully so. You like it? Absolutely. Rightfully so. You know what you get. You know what you get.

You know what you're going to get from him. You understand how he takes care of his body. He's a model citizen in the community, on the field. So there's really no reason not to reward him for what he's a model citizen in the community on the field so there's really no reason not to reward him for what he's going to do in the future you're not paying him for what he's already done you're paying him for what you know he's going to do in the future because he takes care of his body and so based on the team they have around him you know he's going to be productive no matter what yeah because the onus of the offense isn't just predicated on him by himself you got to worry about that quarterback bingo so you can you can you could pay him that

kind of money and understand you're gonna be all right i love it i love the deal i love the ravens have always been a team that would reward their players um so i have no problem with this deal running back james Cook applause to deal. Congrats. He steals without an extension. He wants 15 per year. Uh, he was on the show. He's like, Hey, I think I've shown my worth.

I've, I've shown my value. Uh, as of right now, the bill's like, okay, they don't seem to be like they're doing. They don't seem to be like they're doing anything. Obviously they tied up, uh, Josh Allen. They got him tied up. I think they redid a Rus anything. Obviously, they tied up Josh Allen. They got him tied up. I think they redid Russo. I think they redid his deal. So it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing plays out.

They have until, you know, hey, at some point in time before the season to get a deal done. I think they will get it done for him. I think they're going to get it done for him because one of the things that relieved some of the pressure off of Josh Allen is not the receiving core, it's having that young bull in the backfield. Him being able to not only carry the ball and take some of the pressure off Josh Allen, but being able to catch the ball out the backfield as well. He can do so much.

He's a Swiss Army Knight. He can do so much for them offensively. They got to reward him. Again, another one who you can pay going forward based on what he's going to do in the future because he's young, Unc. Yeah. You got to take care of him. You got to.

I agree. Devon Achein spoke to about Dolphins being labeled as a soft team. We're going to show when the season comes. Everybody who's saying those little remarks, let's make sure you keep that same energy. This year's team is way different than last year's team. Ocho, are the Dolphins a soft team?

Listen, until we, and I'm saying we because I'm from Miami, born in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Dade County. I'm from Liberty City, right? And we've been soft every time it comes to playing in cold weather. Until we play Miami football in weather below 50 degrees

we are going to be continued to be called soft so i don't yeah i don't care nothing about what a-chan is talking about we are soft when it comes to planning cold weather and that is what we've been proven since the goddamn 80s yes until we win a cold weather game, we soft. But, I mean, you know, until you are able to beat teams and do what you're supposed to do. Because what happens is, Ocho, is that you beat the team, you know, you beat down on teams. But when you step up, you don't get it done. Yeah. you step up and you don't get it done yeah so uh uh you guys gonna have to y'all y'all gonna have

to uh uh show i see better than i hear i hear what you're saying devon but you have to show me come season time after the nfl uh after today's nfl schedule release no game is currently more in demand than the cowboys eagle season opener which has an average ticket price of $1,743. The next highest is the Chiefs-Dallas on Thanksgiving, which is $1,491. And then Sunday night football, Packers-Cowboys at $1,295. The opener Sunday night game, Baltimore-Buffalo, $1,183. And you got the Jets Buffalo

week 18 $1169 hey boy them prices boy yeah yeah like the goddamn Super Bowl nosebleed them Super Bowl

nosebleed ticket prices oh you definitely ain't getting no 50 yard line not with the Cowboys Eagles you ain't sitting nowhere near no 50 yard line hell nah hey you know what I you know what I'm gonna call it that's the George Pickens effect with the Cowboys-Eagles. You ain't sitting nowhere near no 50-yard line. Hell nah. Hey, you know what I'm going to call it?

That's the George Pickens effect. No. That's the Cowboys-Eagles effect. Because think about it. You opening up with the Super Bowl champs and you got the Cowboys. That's already a big game because everybody's been clamoring for the NFL season

to start. So now it's starting. It's that Thursday after Labor Day. And now you combine the Cowboys. Yeah. Now, I think the biggest game of the year, regular season, is going to be Cowboys-Chiefs.

That Thanksgiving Day game? Yeah, that's a good one. You know, everybody's sitting around watching, Ocho. Absolutely. Cowboys? That game already does $40 million. Now you bring Patrick Mahomes.

Mm-hmm. And let the game be close. Let the game go into the fourth quarter, the final drive. Right. Man, you talking about you might get $50 million. Yeah, but imagine this. Imagine if the Cowboys having a good season. Yes.

Well, you know, they win 10, 11, 12-some games, or they end that good by the time you get to November. Man, shh. Ain't no time. Adam Schefter thinks the NFL draft lottery would be a home run for the league. What you think, Ocho? Keep it the same. Keep it Ocho? Keep it the same. Keep it the same.

Keep it the same. I mean, I like it. I saw Ryan Clark tweet it out as well. Adam Sheffer tweeted it out as well. I just like the format the way it is now. The teams that don't have the talent that they need or deserve need to get the best products available coming out of college. Well, we will keep you all from tanking. Wait, Unc, you can't tank in the NFL?

Yeah, you can. How? It's impossible. Not play your best player? All of a sudden, he got an injury. Yes. Look, I think the thing is, look look I just don't um it would be very interesting to think that you don't you don't know who go get Travis Hunter or who gonna get Cam Moore

not the team because the team that in basketball that lost the most games didn't get not gonna have the draft rights to Cooper Flagg. So just imagine, Ocho. I like it. It might be a team. Ocho, it might be a team that got a – what if it's Carolina got the first pick of the draft? Now I can trade that pick, Ocho, and get me a King of Ransom.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, you're right. You're right. What if it's a team that has a quarterback, you know, the fellow in a little hard time? Mm-hmm. Yeah, you're right. You're right. What if it's a team that has a quarterback, you know, fell a little hard time? Build it. Quick. Look at the flip side of it, though.

What if it's a team like, hell, the goddamn Eagles just won the Super Bowl. No, the Eagles wouldn't be in the lottery. No, it's just the top, basically top 15 teams. Okay, okay, okay okay okay now now that now that i like now i like that idea now you take the cream of the crop out of it yeah at the bottom the eagle to the cheese they got no ping pong balls hey that i like that i like that i like that i like that now that idea like okay oh joe pro football focus for all travis hunter upcoming Okay, Ocho. Pro Football Focus found all Travis Hunter upcoming wide receiver combo matchups and wrote,

Hey, he got to be on this. Nico Collins and Stingley Jr. in the same game. Oh, he got to be on this A game. You hear me? Trent McDuffie, Rasheed Rice, or Xavier Worthy in the same game. You got to be on your A game. If there's somebody that's built for it, that has the confidence for it,

that has the skill set, now the only thing he's going to have to do, from a technical standpoint, well, you got to dot your I's and cross your T's, boy. Mm-hmm. You better. I'm talking about from athletic ability, everything is even now. Yes. Everything is even now.

Everybody fast. Everybody small. Everybody fast. Everybody strong. Everybody can run. Can jump. Can do all. Yes.

That don't mean nothing. Nope. You got to be technically sound every goddamn snap. Every snap. Most times. Every snap. You get no plays off. Hey, I got chills just thinking about that.

I can't wait, though. I'm excited for it. The Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to receive five primetime games in the first eight weeks of a season. In week one, they played the Chargers in Brazil. In week three, they got the Giants on Sunday night football. In week five, at the Jags, Monday night football. Week six, Sunday night football versus the Lions.

Week eight, they've got the Commanders, Monday Night Football at home. They also play on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Is Kansas City America's new team? Yeah, absolutely. They're America's new team because they are consistently in the playoffs and consistently

them there in the Super Bowl every year and in contention, which is why they have five primetime games. But even with all the winnings they are doing, you know who will always steal the headlines? Who? The Dallas Cowboys. Oh, yeah. No matter what the Chiefs do.

No matter what they do. They can win 100 goddamn Super Bowls. They can be in the playoffs for 100 years straight. But something about the star will always steal and grab the headlines no matter what, which is why they have somewhat of a midseason, not that good. Hell, they got four primetime games. Meanwhile, three teams have zero primetime games, no surprise, the Browns, the Titans, and the Saints.

Well, I think that's going to change too. I can tell you one thing. At any moment when Shador Sanders is the starter for the Cleveland Browns, well, them primetime game going to click in next year. Oh, yeah, next year. They ain't coming this year. Ain't nobody flexing to see Cleveland, Tennessee, or the Saints.

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.

No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.

I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.

see. Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense

of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction, those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson,

Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure

of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and me now on Audible. Oh, Joe, this might be the best Thanksgiving Day slate of games in NFL history. Absolutely. Packers at the Lions. Chiefs at the Cowboys. Bengals at the Ravens. Bonus Bears at the Eagle on Friday, Black Friday.

They took that tight end from Michigan paired it with Cole Komet. Okay, okay, okay. That's right, because I thought they were going to get the one from Penn State.

I can't remember, number 44. I can't remember his name. I thought they were going to take him. The one from Michigan went first. Ocho, Bravada just released the odds for who will be the next sports media personality to appear on General Hospital. The betting favorite is yours truly at plus 900.

You? Yes. I like that. I like that. Boy, get your act on, what? Charles Barkley and Pat McAfee came in second at plus 950. Shaquille O'Neal came in at plus 1,000. Mace and or Cameron came in at plus 1,200. Okay. Gilbert Arenas, go ahead, Gil, plus 1,000. Mace and or Cameron came in at plus 1,200.

Hmm. Hey, I can see you, you know, a little general, general, general, I can see that. I like that.

I like that. You know? Yeah, yeah. You know, I used to love the soaps you know I was big into Young and the Restless

and Bold and the Beautiful that's my you know I like it I didn't watch the days as the world turns like fans through an hourglass

oh man that's classic. All right, Ocho, it's time for our final segment of the evening. Oh, man, Oak was unbelievable. We got an hour plus with Oak, man. That was great. Time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q&A.

Lainey Ray. Hello, Lainey. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for staying up late. This one is for all the haters. Randall was a force tonight. Wolves and fives. Again, Wolves back. You know, obviously Lainey is from Minnesota. She's extremely, extremely happy about her Wolves.

She's all things Minnesota. She loves the Vikes. She loves the T-Wolves. They have the stars. They have a hockey team, got a baseball team, the Twins. They used to be good. Wow, wow, wow. Dallas Stars. The Twins used to be good when they had Kirby Puckett. Who else did they have?

They had, I think, Burt Bly-Levin? Jack Morris, I think, pitched for them, too. But the Twins used to be good. They won two World Series, but they're kind of falling on hard times right now. So, all right, celebrate, Laney. Tyron, what's up, Uncle Nocho? What was up with Jimmy Butler? He was not aggressive at all.

11 shots this game, 9 shots last game. Tyron, that's what I want to know. Yeah, I think he— That's what I want to know. Tyron, I really think he hurt. I really think he does. Every time he drives. He will parlay.

He get in the paint and he always throw it back out. Mm-hmm. Instead of continuing to drive or trying to create a shot or at least draw a foul or do something. He just, I don't know. He was hesitant and I thought maybe the crowd got to him

with the boom, but thinking about it, it's Jimmy Butler. He's been around for a very long time. The crowd booing every time he touched the ball really shouldn't affect you at all.

Richie Shoesaw said, Uncle Ocho, does Ant-Man have all the Infinity Stones now? He got a bunch of them. He can't snap his fingers yet. He need to

take some out in the East. So I guess JT and JV, you got to get those. But he got A on the West. He got them. He done took out some big ones. Danny Littlejohn, up the no-show,

is it fair to say the injuries to Bron and Curry has made the Wolves advance a lot easier versus the Warriors? Go seven games with Curry. Look, LeBron got hurt the last game. He wasn't hurt the first four games. So, no. Now, it had been very interesting to see. We saw

what happened the first game with Curry in there, even though he got hurt in the second quarter and they were able to ride that momentum all the way through. It would have been very interesting, but I'm not going to say LeBron's injury because LeBron wasn't injured the first four games. Nelson Black, Knicks,

Timberland Kicks, Michael Vicks, Boston and Selouther. Mark Jasmine said, I'm ready for prime effect this football season. The what ifs will be in full effect. Be on the lookout for the Panthers. I hope the Panthers. I think the quarterback, they got some weapons now. They gave some weapons to Carolina.

Yeah, Bucket and Burns. Bucket was my college teammate. Met him in 88. Burns was my teammate, 94. We've been best, and those guys have been my two best friends all the way.

Yeah. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Nightcap as the Minnesota Tim timberwolves advance to the western conference finals thanks to a 121 110 victory over the golden state warriors they win that series 4-1 the boston celtics stay alive thanks to a great performance got a lot of contributions all over, but mainly from Derek White and Jalen Brown who had 22, I think he had 22 points. No, he had 26 points.

Excuse me. 12 assists and he had seven rebounds. He was sensational tonight. He did a little bit of everything. Thought he was going to end up having a triple-double. He came very, very close, but he did what he was supposed to do. Filling in the absence of Jason Tatum, he took over a lot of the load, and they staved off elimination as they forced a game six,

headed back to MSG thanks to a 127-102 victory. Thank you for joining us for Nightcap.
