| 0:28.9 | He's just a brilliant guy. He's got an amazing podcast, sports podcast as well. His name is Adam McKay. |
| 0:35.4 | If you loved Anchorman, if you love The Big Short, if you love Succession, if you love all the things that he's done. And he's got so many great things in the pipeline. And he knows his MBA. There is nothing more self-indulgent. It's to go deep with Adam McKay on the NBA. And to just do bits. Bits, the jokes and stuff that the riffing he's capable of is on You don't see it coming. It comes out of nowhere and he's immediately into a bit. |
| 0:57.5 | He's one of our favorite funniest. By the way, Academy Award winning friends that we that we know. |

| 1:13.1 | But first, the biggest news of the week. |
| 1:15.7 | And, you know, the biggest news of the week, of course, crossed over into the sports world |
| 1:20.8 | because we are living in a world right now where, you know, specifically the world of sports |
| 1:26.1 | and specific sports that have large African-American |

| 1:43.9 | which were amazing in the middle of |
| 1:46.0 | this week and had to for a lot of those athletes who have been fighting for that first step of |
