Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Rodriguez

LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts is already predicting the Sixers' new superteam will collapse. Evan questions whether LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe can develop the chemistry and continuity needed to win, while Tiki Barber believes the Knicks will eliminate Philadelphia in the second round. Shaun Morash goes the other way, picking the Sixers to knock out the defending champions before falling short of the NBA Finals. The stunning move also reignites the debate over whether Knicks-Sixers is truly a rivalry and whether LeBron originally wanted New York before the Knicks shut the door. Plus, Jalen Brunson's status as the king of New York, a hilariously awkward caller complimenting Tiki, and a heated Hall of Fame debate featuring Don Mattingly, Keith Hernandez, Alex Rodriguez and Thurman Munson.

A caller delivers a hilariously backhanded tribute to Tiki Barber, praising his Giants career while repeatedly bringing up his fumbling problems. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash try to make sense of the bizarre compliment before comparing it to their own awkward encounters with former New York athletes. Shaun then ranks the New York baseball legends he believes belong in the Hall of Fame, including Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Keith Hernandez, Don Mattingly and Jason Giambi.

Cam Schlittler puts himself in a brutal New York sports debate by naming Aaron Judge the city's king over Jalen Brunson, then risks Yankees fan outrage by choosing Boston's duck boats over the Canyon of Heroes. Shaun Morash, filling in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, takes it even further by admitting the Knicks' championship parade felt embarrassing and arguing that New York's iconic celebration has lost its magic. Evan pushes back, defending the millions of fans who packed the streets, before the conversation turns to whether the Knicks or Yankees are closest to delivering the city's next championship. Plus, Evan wrestles with whether he could ever trust Alex Rodriguez to manage the Mets.

Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50. They argue Dan Wilson has become an unfair scapegoat for a flawed roster, praise Cole Young's continued rise, and discuss Julio Rodríguez's return, Colt Emerson's progress, and looming roster decisions. Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Lee, CEO and co-founder of DIBS Beauty, one of the fastest-growing color cosmetics brands in the country, now carried in over 1,300 Ulta Beauty doors with a product waitlist culture that generated 17K+ sign-ups before their mascara even launched. Jeff's path to beauty CEO is anything but conventional: Yale Law, Wall Street, Stanford MBA, Alex Rodriguez, and a co-founding partnership built entirely over Zoom. He breaks down what DIBS got right in the first six to twelve months, why your product doesn't have to be the most innovative — just the most useful, and how being the "first beauty founder to visit an Ulta in all 50 states" taught him more about selling than anything else. He also gets real about career pivots, the myth of the founder story, burnout as a natural cycle, and why the in-store conversation still produces 10x the order value of anything you can do online.Key Takeaways:// Don't design for yourself. One of the most common founder mistakes is assuming you are the customer. Jeff isn't the end user of most of DIBS's products — and leaning into his co-founder Courtney's existing audience was the honest advantage they doubled down on from day one.// Your advantage tells you your customer, not the other way around. Start with where you have a real edge, then build toward it. Sublimate the ego. The brand that's built for a broader audience will always outperform the brand built for the founder's taste.// In-store still wins at 10x. For all the magic of influencers, social commerce, and a full digital stack — DIBS's highest order values come the moment a real conversation happens in-store. The customer arrives pre-sold from online; the store is where she converts at scale.// Your brand needs to be in the conversation before she walks in. A beautiful end cap alone won't do it. Customers now come in with a predisposition — either for or against you. Your digital presence, influencer strategy, and brand awareness work determines what happens before the store visit even begins.// Burnout is a cycle, not a finish line. Jeff reframes the burnout conversation entirely — it's not something to avoid, it's something to move through. The question isn't how to never burn out; it's whether you reignite on the other side.// Going backwards to go forwards is a real strategy. Jeff took a 90% pay cut to pivot into beauty. But he's equally clear-eyed: that choice was made possible by financial stability built first. Solve for what actually matters in your life before romanticizing the leap.Learn More About DIBS: Instagram____Join the MHH Collective!
