As the Clippers accept the NBA's historic punishment, a "criminal dimension" looms over the fallout. Pablo talks to owners, league officials and the commissioner himself, then asks former federal prosecutors how the government would build a case against one of the richest men alive. Amin Elhassan and David Samson help follow the money — and the Trump of it all — from "podcast court" to the Department of Justice.• Subscribe to PTFO on YouTube for breaking news, greatest hits and live premieres with PabloPreviously on PTFO:• Part I: The Silent Superstar and the Rotten Apple Tree• Part II: An Argument with Mark Cuban• Part III: The Mystery Investor, the No-Show Payday and the "Smoking Gun"• Part IV: Steve Ballmer, the Other Cuban and the $118 Million Infusion• Part V: Steve Ballmer's "Inconceivable" Donation, the $20 Million Guarantee and a Head on a Spike• Part VI: An IRL Showdown with Mark Cuban• Part VII: The Briefcase, Ballmer's Social Network and Aspiration's House of Cards• Part VIII: Uncle Dennis, Ballmer's $50 Million Sprint and the Side Deal That Wouldn't Die• Part IX: Ballmer's Tree Money, the Whistle-Blowers and the Document You've Been Waiting For• Part X: Steve Ballmer's Victim Impact, the Man Who Prosecuted Aspiration and the Abacus of Incarceration• Part XI: Ballmer's Secret I.O.U., Aspiration's "Web of Lies" and the Zenith of Fraud• Part XII: RIFC, the Impossible Deal and Life After Aspiration• Part XIII: The Halo, Ballmer's Bowl and a New Crisis in the Super-System• Part XIV: The Jumbotron Emails, the Courtside Cabana and Ballmer's "Highest Integrity"• Part XV: Clippers Judgment Day, the NBA's Hammer and the Investigation That Never Ends(Pablo Torre Finds Out is independently produced by Meadowlark Media and distributed by The Athletic.

We keep treating stalled initiatives as a knowledge problem. Dr. Amanda March says that's rarely what's actually going on."Knowledge and skills are not enough to do the good work."In this conversation, the school psychologist and systems consultant introduces the KASAB model, Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, Aspirations, Behaviors, from Joellen Killian and Learning Forward, and zeroes in on the two A's most leaders skip: attitudes and aspirations. She shares why two veteran colleagues resisted the same change for opposite reasons, how values misalignment quietly drives turnover, and the signal she listens for that change is sticking: when it spreads horizontally between peers rather than top-down.One practical shift for leaders: stop asking, "What strategy did you try today?" and start asking, "What value were you able to personify today?"Connect with Dr. Amanda March via LinkedIn and her website.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are back after a three-week hiatus — a quick, programming note on why — and there was no shortage of news waiting for them.They lead with the one that had the bat-signal going up in Dan's group chats: Steve Ballmer and the Clippers. On September 2nd the NBA closed its year-long investigation and dropped the hammer — a $30M fine, five forfeited first-round picks, a one-year suspension for Ballmer, six months for Lawrence Frank, a year for Gillian Zucker, and a $700K fine for Kawhi Leonard — over a $28M "endorsement" with the now-bankrupt Aspiration that the league deemed a no-show job. Mike and Dan dig into the scathing Wachtell report (this wasn't just the Clippers — Kawhi's camp shopped similar deals to other teams), and the real legal-ease answer to the question everyone's asking: why did Kawhi get a slap on the wrist while the Clippers got decimated? Then, the saga that "90% resolved itself" — SEC v. LSU. The conference passed its ex-pro eligibility rule 16–0 (LSU included), then Lane Kiffin went and recruited former NFL players anyway. The crew maps the chaos: a Louisiana state court clearing Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavien Harris to play, the SEC's now-mooted federal suit in the Northern District of Alabama, and the nuclear threat that ended it — a vote to expel LSU from the conference. LSU's RJ Lewis is teed up to test it all over again come basketball season.In the back half: Josh Jacobs pleads no contest to two misdemeanors the morning of the record — Mike explains the plea terms, the Commissioner Exempt List, and why the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy runs independent of the courts (the Diggs timeline is the cautionary tale for anyone counting on a quick return).

How might economic frustration influence the way people evaluate political candidates? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl examines a recent McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility report, In Pursuit of Progress: Americans' Aspirations for Economic Mobility, to explore the financial pressures and lack of economic confidence that can shape how people think about the future and who they choose to support. Using survey data from 30,000 adults, Darryl breaks down four major themes: the common desire for financial security, the cost squeezes people experience at different stages of life, the importance of community, and the role proximity plays in helping people move forward. He discusses rising living costs, health care, child care, housing, retirement savings, and the financial shocks that can make it difficult for families to build stability. Darryl also explores the roles employers, friends, family, churches, and government institutions play in helping people find opportunities. From a Christian worldview, he argues that community and relationships can create practical opportunities for people who are struggling, while employers can help employees build skills and become more valuable in the marketplace. Ultimately, this episode looks beyond politics to ask a more important question: What happens when people feel like they have no financial security, no clear path forward, and little hope for the future? You'll learn: • Why financial security is a priority for so many Americans • How rising costs affect people at different stages of life • Why groceries, health care, child care, and housing are major financial pressure points • What retirement savings reveal about economic mobility in America • Why strong community connections can influence people's sense of control and momentum • How employers can help employees improve their skills and financial opportunities • How economic frustration may influence political choices This episode is for anyone interested in financial planning, economic mobility, personal finance, leadership, community, and the forces that influence how people think about their financial future and political choices. Benefiting from the show? We'd appreciate it if you left a review on your favorite podcast platform. Resources: Americans' aspirations for economic mobility | McKinsey

Twelve months almost to the day after this show first tried to make sense of the Aspiration story, the NBA made it official — and Grant and John Browner walk through one of the harshest punishments in league history, line by line: a $30 million fine, five first-round picks gone (2029 through 2033, including the voided Pacers pick), Steve Ballmer suspended a year, Gillian Zucker a year, Lawrence Frank six months, Uncle Dennis banned five years — and Kawhi Leonard fined $700,000 with his contract intact. John's verdict: they dropped a nuke, and the only people truly punished are Ballmer and the fans. Josh Tariff joins with the eerie Joe Smith/Timberwolves parallel the show called a year ago, and Beav arrives to fight John over November 2: does Kawhi actually play at the Intuit Dome, or does he never make the trip? Plus the Clippers' scorched-earth response ("heavily biased... a predetermined result"), performed by John in its true musical form; the attorney letter calling it a witch hunt; the tinfoil-bodysuit theory about why the ESPN report and the verdict don't match; and Grant's autopsy of the Kawhi era — ten first-round picks, zero Finals. The show closes on a serious note with John's unsparing response to Penn State's Paterno museum plans. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Welcome to The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro1:05 Breaking Down MrBeast's “Escape 100 Cops, Win $500,000”9:40 Pablo Torre's investigation surrounding Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard16:10 National Treasure 3 Conspiracy 19:20 Closing Thoughts MrBeast's videos are starting to look more like action movies, and that might be exactly where he's headed.This week, we break down MrBeast's latest video, Escape 100 Cops, Win $500,000, and why his increasingly massive productions could be preparing him for something much bigger than YouTube. We also get into his new book, The Most Dangerous Games, written with James Patterson, and our theory that books could allow MrBeast to create ideas too crazy for YouTube before eventually turning the best ones into movies and TV franchises.Then we get into Pablo Torre's investigation surrounding Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers and Aspiration. With allegations centered around whether money was being used to circumvent the NBA salary cap, we discuss the conflicting reporting, the NBA's investigation and just how difficult it would be for the league to seriously go after its richest owner.Finally, National Treasure 3 is coming, which means it's time to revisit one of the strangest movie conspiracies ever. Why do National Treasure movies seemingly show up around periods of financial chaos? Plus, Nicolas Cage might actually be the perfect person to play Benjamin Franklin Gates, considering his real-life obsession with rare comics, dinosaur fossils, and bizarre collectibles.MrBeast going Hollywood, an NBA billionaire scandal, and the National Treasure financial curse somehow it all makes sense this week on The Real Oshow Podcast.Check out our YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with your thoughts about the podcast or suggestions for future shows.Music by Leno Tk - Greatness (Streaming on all platforms)

'A brutal week for Eric Swallwell,' says CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett, as the former frontrunner for California Governor's home was raided by the FBI this week. How are the democrats lining up for the run for President to follow Trump? Campaign watchers think Cortez will 'sit out the 2028 campaign,' and instead run for Senate in New York says Garrett. 'John Osoff is in either way,' thinks Garrett. Vance, Rubio and Cruz, appear to be the Republicans lining up to run in 2028.

As Kawhi Leonard resurfaces, Pablo shakes loose written proof of the Clippers trying to help make their star do something — anything — for a scoreboard company.

Lee Woodruff's life reads like fiction — a college meet-not-quite-cute with her future husband Bob, a front-row seat to the Tiananmen Square crackdown that redirected Bob's entire career, his meteoric rise to co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight, and then, just weeks into that dream job, a roadside bomb in Iraq that nearly killed him.  In this conversation, Lee shares how she got the call while at Disney World with their four kids, the surreal days that followed, and the 36-day coma that ended with Bob speaking Mandarin and French before he could speak English again. She opens up about "ambiguous loss" — the complicated grief of loving someone who survived but changed — and the "four F's" (family, friends, funny, faith) that got her through. Lee also talks candidly about the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which has now raised more than $80 million for veterans and military families, and about her own definition of optimism: not the absence of hard days, but the belief that tomorrow can be better.     Chapters:  00:31 The Woodruff Story: Love and Triumph 02:08 A Life of Accomplishments 04:42 The Impact of Tiananmen Square 08:31 The Shocking News 12:14 The Four F's: Coping Mechanisms 13:16 The Birth of the Bob Woodruff Foundation 16:03 Finding Strength in Adversity 19:14 Bob's Remarkable Recovery 22:05 Navigating Complicated Grief 25:57 The Pursuit of Happiness 29:02 The Foundation's Humble Beginnings 30:31 Innovative Solutions for Veterans 32:06 Mobilizing Awareness Through Personal Experience 33:05 Navigating Caregiving and Grief 35:30 The Journey of Optimism 37:11 The Impact on Family: Growing Through Adversity 40:49 Looking Ahead: New Ventures and Aspirations

How high up did Kawhi Leonard's silent deals go?

The crew recaps a rough 13-6 Guardians loss to the Mets, with Foster Griffin struggling in his first start after the trade, and John declaring the season effectively over if Cleveland gets swept by the White Sox this weekend. They also break down the Kawhi Leonard situation, with a Pablo Torre report alleging Leonard had an undisclosed sponsorship deal with Daktronics as another possible way to circumvent the salary cap, on top of the ongoing Aspiration investigation. The guys debate whether Clippers fans should actually be mad at owner Steve Ballmer for allegedly bending the rules to pay Leonard more, given how much worse the franchise's previous ownership was.

Diaz Aguilar grew up in Compton California raised by a single mother who struggled with addiction — and when the streets filled the gap the Vice Lords became his family. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how a trip to Chicago pulled him into the Vice Lords, how a trip to Mississippi ended with a manslaughter charge for something he says he did not do, and what losing at trial and being sentenced to 20 years in Mississippi's most brutal maximum security prison actually felt like for a Vice Lord from Compton who knew he was innocent. He opens up about the prison politics inside Mississippi's worst facility, what life as a Vice Lord inside those walls actually required of him, and what 22 years of wrongful incarceration really does to a person before they find a way to keep going. _____________________________________________ #wrongfulconviction #TrueCrime #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Diaz Aguilar:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diaz_santiago_55?igsh=MTZvMWkxM2U4MDB6dA== _____________________________________________ Buy his book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZYDGM5J?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&bestFormat=true&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaccY68BMUhqLOhGfqVyG5b0jFGHckUvPBwgIetA_Sm_iCFscImzCEQEJWavmA_aem_mhRhsWedJChoBH70P-GvTA&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ig ____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Diaz Aguilar's Story 00:18 Growing Up in Compton 01:41 Mother's Addiction & Early Hardships 03:59 Friendships & Finding Family 05:04 Reflections on Mother-Son Relationship 07:36 Childhood Trouble & Gang Influence 09:01 Neighborhood Gangs and Associations 10:03 Joining the Vice Lords 13:13 Gang Symbolism & Identity 14:55 Dreams, Aspirations, and Early Outlook 16:18 School Life and Influential Teacher 17:52 Writing Inspiration & Starting a Book 21:02 Adoption, Family Changes & Moving to Mississippi 25:31 Troubled Adoption and Feeling Isolated 28:44 Mississippi: New Beginnings and Trouble 31:31 The Incident: Manslaughter Charge 38:12 Court, Trial, and Sentencing 43:03 Life in Mississippi State Penitentiary 50:12 Gang Dynamics and Prison Politics 01:00:19 Economics of Prison: Protection and Extortion 01:08:45 Adapting and Surviving in Prison 01:13:15 Solitary Confinement and Mental Health 01:17:51 Struggles for Justice & Maintaining Innocence 01:23:00 Life After Release: Reentry Challenges 01:24:47 Relationships, Intimacy & PTSD  01:26:34 Making Peace and Coping with Trauma 01:33:32 Thoughts on Gang Life Now 01:34:12 Wisdom Gained: Reflections on Life 01:35:50 Life Today: Work, Books & New Beginnings 01:38:40 Closing Thoughts & Farewell _____________________________________________  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Clips n Dip talk Yanic Konan Niederhauser is doing on-court work, the Clippers continue to have Kawhi Leonard on the roster, LeBron offer?, and wondering what's up with Peyton Watson and Benn Mathurin 

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins John Catsimatidis, Jake Novak & Michael Cohen on Sid & Friends in the Morning.

Five deep tonight — Grant, Tim Parker, David Bloom, Mykell Mathieu and E Lamb — and the Clippers news is grim. Baxter Holmes of ESPN reports the Aspiration investigation could bleed into 2027, and Grant has had it: as he puts it, it's the year 2085, Bronny James Jr. the Second is in the league, and the investigation still isn't concluded. He torches the recycled reporting cycle — everyone re-breaking that the Raptors don't want the penalties, which the show covered three weeks ago — while E Lamb plays the adult in the room and lays out the actual endgame nobody else is explaining: findings, the Clippers' right to push back, then arbitration or court. His warning from July 4 stands — the longer this lingers, the worse it gets — and if it isn't concluded by the trade deadline, there is no trade. Mykell just feels bad for Toronto, where Kawhi was supposed to retire, and for Brandon Ingram, stuck on a team that already tried to ship him out. Before the doom: Luka Doncic is flying the ENTIRE Lakers roster to Slovenia on his own dime for a four-day August mini-camp, and the panel splits on what it means — Mykell calls it everything the last era never gave the fans, E Lamb contrasts it with a certain someone working out in another team's facility, Tim (crediting the "vanilla Lakers") says team bonding doesn't move a seed, and the crew fights over what year one of solo Luka has to look like: Western Conference Finals or bust? Plus Deebo Samuel returns to the Niners with Ricky Pearsall likely out long-term, Tim declares the Niners cooked while Grant — the self-described biggest Niners hater alive — explains why the cockroach always survives, and E Lamb announces the TST Fantasy Football League.

In a world racing toward smarter machines, empathy speakers and authors Rob Volpe and Maria Ross get curious in this limited subseries about what only humans can feel, do, and be — and why that's our greatest competitive advantage. Enjoy this limited subseries here on The Empathy Edge. Aspiration, Hope, Free Will & the Future-Oriented MindHumans don't just live in the present. We imagine futures that don't exist yet, then try to build them, and we do it using the same neural machinery that lets us remember our past.Maria Ross and Rob Volpe explore what psychologist Endel Tulving called mental time travel: the brain's unique ability to simulate scenarios that haven't happened using a network that overlaps almost entirely with episodic memory. We can't dream forward if we can't look back. Yet, our memories can be unreliable, causing us to build narratives around what actually happened or how it impacted us. Are we the only species who can do this? That sets up the harder question: do we actually choose, or does it just feel like we do?Finally, we discuss the difference between hope and optimism. When humans are at their best, they describe aspiration, vision, and forward motion, but humans in survival mode, who cannot access hope or aspiration, are equally human. What does that tell us about how fragile, and how earned, this superpower really is?To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com and search by episode title.
