Recently, I was approached by a company to do exclusive content... similar to OnlyFans 😬 Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is officially set for July 20th. Tyson is 30 years older than Jake Paul, and many of his loyal fans who look up to him disagree with him getting in the ring with Jake Paul. Is he healthy enough to have a chance vs. Jake Paul? 22-year-old Jalen Green is having a child with 39-year-old Draya Michele from 'Basketball Wives.' Draya's oldest child is the SAME AGE as Jalen, which makes this really, really weird.

This begs a larger question on college sports & NIL in general: Could this ruin the integrity of college sports?

We discuss Caitlin Clark breaking the NCAA all-time scoring record, and put her stats up against Pete Maravich's stats to see who had the more impressive college career. Andre Roberson phones and talks about the NBA reviewing the state of the game, and if there's too much offense. Dre talks about his experiences when he first came into the league in 2013 and how different it is comparatively today. We also react to Tom Brady's accusations that Gisele was cheating on him during their marriage. No matter your status, how rich you are, how beautiful you are... that will NEVER save you from someone else's poor character.

We discuss what it's like to participate in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Games. Which celebrities gave Rachel her biggest matchup on the court? Usher's Super Bowl halftime performance with Alicia Keys received a LOT of press. Did he cross the line with a married woman? Also, after Travis Kelce bumped Andy Reid, is it fair to say he gets special treatment that other players don't? The recent breakup between Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan has us thinking, why do couples tend to break up before this love-filled holiday?

We're back from Dubai! On today's episode, I wanted to start off my recapping my Dubai trip and what it was really like to spend 2 weeks out there. Travis Kelce and the Chiefs have advanced to the Super Bowl and the fanfare about him and Taylor Swift has reached a fever pitch. Steph Curry is set to take on Sabrina Ionescu in the 3-point contest at this year's all-star game, which will be so cool to see unfold. Then we spill the tea on Michael Porter Jr's recent comments on The Pivot podcast, where he suggested the WNBA should lower the rims.

Today we revisit some of my most cringe moments in TV. From headsets not working, to not being able to think of a word to rap battle Damian Lillard, there have been a few rough ones 😂 Mike Brown and Darko Rajaković blew UP about the referee performances in their recent games, and it seems like its becoming a problem for the NBA.

Today we're reacting to Draymond Green's podcast, where he addressed his actions and why he was wrong. We also address his conversation with Adam Silver. ESPN & Pat McAfee have a very public beef after he called out their executive producer on a show recently. I reflect on my personal experience there, and also dive into the heated exchanges between Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel. Caitlin Clark is SO good at basketball that it actually might not make financial sense for her to go to the WNBA. We breakdown her domination of women's college basketball and what her future may hold.
