This week, Jason is joined by professional soccer player, FC Dallas defender, US Men's National Team player, Gold Cup champion, World Cup participant, and founder of the Shaq Moore Foundation, Shaq Moore, for a conversation about the business of professional soccer, the financial realities of playing overseas, World Cup pressure, MLS salaries, and building a lasting career in a sport that continues to grow in the United States. Shaq reflects on realizing at a young age that soccer could become his career, and how attending the 2010 World Cup helped fully shift his focus back to the sport. With a father who also played professionally, Shaq grew up around the game, but his path was far from traditional. As a teenager, he left the United States to pursue his dream in Spain, where he spent years grinding through lower divisions, learning the language, and fighting for every opportunity. Jason and Shaq dive into the financial side of that journey, including what it was like earning roughly 800 to 900 euros per month early in his career, dealing with teams that went months without paying players, and learning how to live on a budget while chasing a professional dream. Shaq opens up about the uncertainty of playing overseas, the role agents play in protecting young athletes, and why those difficult early years shaped him both personally and professionally. Shaq also breaks down how soccer contracts work, including transfer fees, buyout clauses, bonuses, incentives, and what it means when a player is sent on loan. He explains the business behind his move back to MLS, his reported transfer to Nashville SC, and how returning to the United States helped position him for a potential World Cup opportunity. The conversation also explores Shaq's experience with the US Men's National Team, from winning the Gold Cup and scoring the fastest goal in USMNT history to getting called into a World Cup qualifying window while vacationing on an island. Shaq shares what it was like being thrown into one of the most important games of qualifying, eventually making the 2022 World Cup roster, and playing against England and Iran on the world stage. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Jason and Shaq discuss the state of the US team, the pressure of playing on home soil, World Cup ticket prices, player bonuses, endorsements, and how making a World Cup roster can change an athlete's brand and financial future. Shaq also gives his thoughts on the US group, possible contenders, and what it is really like playing against Lionel Messi. Beyond the field, Shaq opens up about financial planning as a professional athlete, budgeting for a career with an uncertain shelf life, working with a financial advisor, investing for the future, and learning from the stories of athletes who made millions but struggled after their playing careers ended. Shaq also shares the work he is doing through the Shaq Moore Foundation, including youth soccer clinics, food drives, community initiatives, and opportunities for kids in Fort Lauderdale and Trinidad and Tobago. He reflects on fatherhood, life in Dallas, future coaching goals, and the importance of staying grounded through every stage of the journey. From grinding in Spain for less than $1,000 a month to representing the United States on the World Cup stage, Shaq reveals what it really takes to stay the course, survive setbacks, and build a career in professional soccer.

Episode Summary In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the difference between being "rich" and "wealthy," explore frameworks for financial decision-making, and break down practical systems to help coaches and business owners accumulate lasting, quiet wealth (not just loud riches). They tackle the psychology behind wealth, the dangers of FOMO-driven habits, good versus bad debt, AI's role in coaching, and unconventional book recommendations for sharper coaching minds. Stick around for Karl's "moment of Zen" on intentionally shaping the feel of your life and business. Key Topics Covered Rich vs. Wealthy: The Real Difference Karl Bryan lays out the classic Shaq example: "I'm rich making $10 million, but the team owner is wealthy." Rich displays as loud (cars, houses, spend), while wealth is quiet and built by what you don't spend or sell—accumulated over time 02:30. Wealth results from assets held and never sold, while rich is about consumption and visible spending. FOMO and "keeping up with the Kardashians" fuel expensive habits that keep people from accumulating real wealth 05:48. Good Debt vs. Bad Debt Good debt creates positive returns (e.g., property investments that cashflow or machinery that generates more than its payment). Bad debt (especially student loans) is debt you can't escape, often with no financial upside 08:35. Why Optionality Trumps Just "Getting Rich" Karl explains why optionality—having choices—is the ultimate wealth: "Live where you want, drive what you want, do what you want." But beware of moving the goalposts due to FOMO 09:28. Tariffs and Manufacturing Jobs The duo discuss why tariffs alone aren't bringing back traditional manufacturing jobs. AI, automation, and energy are where the future is headed—not trying to revive 1950s economies 12:10. Unconventional Book Recommendations for Coaches Deep-dive recommendations include "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," "The Creature from Jekyll Island," "Antifragile," "What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars," "Sapiens," and "Principles." Each offers powerful mental models, psychological insights, and frameworks—far beyond conventional business books 16:16. Real Estate as a Growth Lever Karl shares advanced real estate strategies (especially in niches like mobile homes and boutique hotels), advocating for accumulating assets that pay you forever, not just selling for a one-time gain 30:09. Designing Your Home, Business, and Life for the Right Feel The "moment of Zen" focuses on intentionally defining how you want your business, home, and life to feel—and structuring rules, systems, and rewards to support that vision 34:17. Notable Quotes "Rich is loud, wealthy is quiet. You want to become wealthy. You want to guide your clients to be wealthy." – Karl Bryan 07:00 "Earned money equals never sell… Introduce me to a family with old money, and I'll introduce you to a great-grandfather who didn't sell." – Karl Bryan 04:25 "FOMO is your most expensive habit... We used to keep up with the Joneses, now it's keeping up with the Kardashians." – Karl Bryan 05:47 "Leadership starts with telling the truth. You have to tell yourself the truth." – Karl Bryan 05:20 "Tariffs: you can't tariff your way back to 1950. The jobs coming back are automated factories with robotic jobs. Amazon 101." – Karl Bryan 12:28 "The real opportunity is energy, tech, and land. That's where the big dogs are investing." – Karl Bryan 12:51 "Optionality is the ultimate goal: the happiest, most peaceful people have lots of options." – Karl Bryan 40:14 Actionable Takeaways Understand & Teach the REAL Difference: Make sure both you and your clients aim to quietly accumulate wealth by holding and nurturing assets, instead of focusing on appearances or loud spending. Leverage Good Debt: Only take on debt that creates positive cashflow and avoid high-interest, no-upside consumer and student debt. Set (and Don't Move) the Goalposts: Establish clear financial targets for yourself and clients and beware of letting FOMO push you into perpetual "more chasing." Read for Leverage: Go beyond trendy business books; seek out foundational texts that give you frameworks on systems, psychology, power, and wealth that most coaches overlook. Build Systems Over Motivation: Use principles and mental models (like those from "Principles" and "Antifragile") to make wealth and happiness inevitable in your business and life. Structure for Feel, Not Just Achievement: Define how you want your business, home, and vacations to feel—then create rules and systems that support that intention. Resources Mentioned Book Recommendations: Confessions of an Economic Hitman (John Perkins) The Creature from Jekyll Island (G. Edward Griffin) Antifragile (Nassim Nicholas Taleb) What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars (Jim Paul & Brendan Moynihan) Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari) Principles (Ray Dalio) Profit Acceleration Software (by Karl Bryan): Proven system for compounding profit growth for coaches and their clients.

We debate his terrifying fitness levels, look at Mikel Oyarzabal's redemption arc, and try to define the bizarre tactical role of Ferran Torres.The Cristiano Ronaldo Problem (Belgium Edition): Belgium's aging golden generation is officially dead. We slam their one-dimensional tactic of forcing every single ball into a rhythm-less Romelu Lukaku, and praise Iran's brick-wall defense. The real hero? Alireza Beiranvand, who pulled off a legendary goalkeeping masterclass to secure a 0-0 draw. Plus, we address the immense travel and political pressure Iran is completely thriving under.Uruguay's Wall of Fear: Cape Verde shocks Uruguay in an electric 2-2 thriller. We analyze why Uruguay's wall literally parted ways during a long-distance free-kick, put the spotlight on Fernando Muslera's communication disaster, and praise Cape Verde's incredible, emotional spirit.

Ronald Koeman started Brian Brobbey as a physical number nine, and the Oranje completely dismantled Sweden 5-1. We analyze how the early hydration break forced Sweden to alter their 5-back system, paving the way for braces from both Brobbey and Cody Gakpo, capped off by a late Crysencio Summerville strike.Undav's Toronto Rescue: Germany secures their spot in the knockouts after a brutal, physical midfield war with Ivory Coast (2-1). Frank Kessié shocked the Germans early, but Julian Nagelsmann's ultimate super-sub weapon, Dennis Undav, struck a lethal winner in the 96th minute.

It's Friday, which means it's Shoot Around time. Episode 137. Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are back with the fan questions that didn't make the Tuesday show — plus some detours that definitely weren't on the agenda. First up: a listener asks whether certain championships just mean more than others. Brian Windhorst sparked the debate on ESPN comparing the Knicks title to the LeBron-Cleveland moment in 2016. Robert's answer might surprise you — for him personally, the 2005 title in San Antonio hit harder than any of the Lakers runs, and he explains why. B-Dog makes the case for Kobe's first ring without Shaq, and Rob gets into what the 2021 Braves World Series meant to him working inside that organization. Then there's the World Cup. It's in America right now, and a viral video of a French guy experiencing Buc-ee's for the first time is basically the greatest piece of content on the internet. The guys use it as a jumping off point: what does a foreigner absolutely have to experience in the US? Waffle House at 2 AM makes the list. Soul food does too. Atlanta gets discussed at length, and Jameis Winston cleaning up a stadium in Dallas with Japanese fans is just a genuinely wholesome moment. A listener question about Rick Brunson's courtside moment with Jalen after the title turns into one of the more personal conversations on the show — all three guys share a memory with their dads. Robert's involves sneaking candy into Silver Streak and a hard foul from his pops during a pickup game. Rob talks about a rough stretch with his father that got repaired when his daughter was born. Worth a listen. From there: household chores, the great grocery shopping debate, Trader Joe's vegan oatmeal cookies vs. Thin Mints, and a final fan question about the wildest thing anyone's ever seen at a live sporting event. Robert tells a story from a Lakers-SuperSonics game that Phil Jackson definitely remembers. And somewhere in there, a bird dies at a Braves spring training game. Episode 137 of the Shoot Around — every Friday on the Big Shot Bob Podcast feed.

Few athletes have transcended their sport quite like Shaquille O'Neal. A four-time NBA champion, Hall of Famer, entrepreneur, investor, entertainer, and media personality, Shaq has built an extraordinary career both on and off the basketball court. In this episode, Travis reflects on one of his all-time favorite interviews, sharing the biggest lessons he learned from his conversation with his childhood hero. From parenting and relationships to investing and personal growth, Shaq delivers timeless wisdom grounded in experience, humility, and respect. On this episode we talk about: Why respect is the foundation of healthy relationships and conversations Parenting lessons and adapting your approach to each child Balancing friendship and discipline as a parent The relationship between networking, expertise, and opportunity Shaq's framework for being a great husband, father, and man Top 3 Takeaways Respect creates stronger relationships and healthier conversations. You don't have to agree with someone to treat them with dignity and respect. Relationships open doors, but expertise keeps you in the room. Building connections matters, but developing real skills and knowledge is what creates lasting success. Great parenting requires balance. The best parents combine discipline, guidance, and genuine connection while recognizing that every child is different. Notable Quotes "If we just went back to truly respecting each other's thoughts and opinions, a lot of the division we see today would start to fade." "Who you know opens the door, but what you know keeps you in the room." "The three jobs of a man are to protect, provide, and love."

Instead, Portugal looked stagnant in a frustrating 1-1 draw against DR Congo. We slam Roberto Martinez's rigid tactics and discuss whether Ronaldo is clogging up the pitch or if his manager lacks the cajones to bench him.Tuchel's Half-Time Rescue: England looked like "same old England" after going 2-1 down to Croatia at halftime. But Thomas Tuchel's speech completely broke the shackles. We praise Jude Bellingham for taking the game by the scruff of the neck, debate if John Stones should be dropped for Mark Guéhi, and look at Marcus Rashford's explosive performance off the bench.The Heartbreak of Toronto: Panama completely dominated Ghana for 90 minutes, only to concede a brutal 95th-minute winner to Yerenky after pushing their keeper into attack.

This week on Sports Guyz Only, the studio is officially becoming an orthopedic clinic. Nathaniel shows up in a boot, Cal is dealing with the exact same injury, and the guys spend the first part of the show proving that stretching after age 30 might actually matter. From kickball injuries to birthday plans, expensive steak dinners, and Carter nearly getting denied entry to a fancy restaurant in a Columbia fishing shirt, the nonsense starts early. Then it's time for sports. The crew breaks down an absolutely electric Stanley Cup Final, including the Hurricanes and Knights delivering one of the wildest playoff series in recent memory, complete with overtime thrillers and three goals in 39 seconds. The debate continues as the guys make their championship predictions and discuss why Vegas remains public enemy number one for hockey fans everywhere. On the NBA side, the conversation shifts to the Spurs' Finals run, Victor Wembanyama's ridiculous defensive impact, whether the Spurs are in trouble, and how San Antonio may already be building the next dynasty. Plus, the boys revisit some all-time NBA debates, including Tim Duncan's legacy, the most underrated players ever, and why prime Shaq remains one of the most terrifying athletes in sports history. Plus: Vikings quarterback drama and the "Tyler Murray" controversy Brian O'Neill foot races and offensive linemen athleticism High school hockey rivalries and the legendary "Daddy's Money" chant Brandon Aiyuk vs. the 49ers front office Giannis trade rumors heating up World Cup predictions and Messi's final run Why tennis may finally have its next great era As always, it's sports takes, playoff overreactions, locker-room banter, and a shocking amount of discussion about injuries, rich kids, and offensive linemen running 5.1 forties.

In this special episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob reunite the 2006 Miami Heat championship team to celebrate 20 years since the title. Shaq, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Udonis Haslem, Antoine Walker, and Dorell Wright all pull up for the conversation.The crew kicks off comparing themselves to current players, Shaq debates Wemby vs. Gobert for Zo, UD sees himself in Bam, and Dwyane calls Anthony Edwards his modern equivalent. Shaq opens up about sacrificing his numbers to empower Dwyane as the star, and admits his real motivation for winning was getting a ring before Kobe. Zo shares how a serious kidney illness made him take a massive pay cut just to get back and chase a title.They talk about Pat Riley taking over and immediately bringing accountability, defining roles, and forcing the team to actually know each other’s families. And they own being the most unserious championship team ever, 41 parties on the road, three hour practices, until Shaq convinced Riley to move practice to the afternoon.UD gets his flowers from everyone in the room for how he locked down Dirk Nowitzki, and Dwyane closes it out sharing that his whole motivation was making sure Shaq, Zo, and GP got the championships their legacies deserved. @MiamiHeatMusic Credit: Khari Mateen.What We Discussed:00:00 Introduction 00:37 Player Comparisons: Who Would You Be In Today’s Game?08:41 Shaq’s Arrival And Defining Roles In Miami 11:53 Motivations: Chasing Kobe And Closing Windows 15:55 Proving The Doubters Wrong 17:10 Role Players Stepping Up20:27: The Turning Point: When They Knew They Could Win It All24:49 Pay Riley Takes Over: Accountability And New Rotations 27:53 Changing The Culture: Forced Bonding And Pushing Back Practice 30:17 Work Hard, Play Hard: The “Unserious” Partying Team31:07 Hometown Hero34:32 A Tight-Knit Brotherhood: 100 Fights But No Grudges36:22 The Young Guy’s Perspective: Dorell Wright 38:15 Throwbacks: Draft Rivalries And The “Malik Allen Game”40:57 The Aftermath: How Winning The Championship Actually Felt 44:39 Gary Payton’s Decision To Come Back46:13 Doing It Their Way And The Bond They Share 48:32 D-Wade’s Motivation49:45 Collecting Debts: Shaq’s Unfulfilled Bentley Promise #MiamiHeat #Checkin #DwyaneWade #2006Champions #HeatNationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Evan and Tiki continue debating OG Anunoby's value to the Knicks and why he has become exactly the kind of player the franchise hoped RJ Barrett could be. Evan makes the case that through three games of the NBA Finals, OG has been the Knicks' best Finals MVP candidate, while Karl-Anthony Towns' fourth quarter struggles raise concerns. The guys also revisit the officiating debate around Victor Wembanyama, with callers arguing that missed calls may have protected him from foul trouble and possible flagrant penalties. Evan and Tiki push through the difference between protecting Wemby physically and protecting his availability, while the discussion ends with whether Mike Brown's criticism of the refs was a masterclass or something former players like Shaq and Charles Barkley would never accept.
Evan and Tiki react to a frustrating Knicks Game 3 loss and debate whether it was just one bad night or a sign of a series shifting. From officiating complaints to Victor Wembanyama's physicality, the conversation captures the tension around a Finals matchup that suddenly feels much less comfortable for New York. The guys dig into Mark Davis' strange player announcements, Shaq's blunt halftime comments, the Spurs' defensive adjustment on Josh Hart, and whether the Knicks need to fight back with more force. They also mix in celebrity sightings at Madison Square Garden, jinx accusations, and a bigger debate about home court advantage in today's NBA.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the strange moments surrounding the Knicks Game 3 loss, starting with Mark Davis calling Josh Hart the wrong name and referring to Victor Wembanyama by his nickname. What begins as a debate over referee professionalism quickly turns into a larger conversation about whether the Knicks are getting a fair whistle. The guys also discuss whether New York needs to match San Antonio's physicality, why Shaq's comments about pushing around smaller players struck a nerve, and how Madison Square Garden's celebrity scene became part of the night's story. From Derek Jeter and Eli Manning courtside to a detour into Law and Order SVU, the hour captures the mix of frustration, humor and nervous energy around a suddenly tighter Finals series.
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.8) Conway kicks off the hour with John Kobylt and a wild political story involving ballot harvesting, nonprofits, Skid Row, and a longtime signature gatherer expected to plead guilty to paying homeless people to help get initiatives on the ballot. Then the crew dives into the latest twists in the L.A. mayor’s race, with Nithya Raman, Spencer Pratt, and Mayor Karen Bass all part of the conversation. Plus, the upcoming 2026 California governor’s race heats up with names like Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton, and a breakdown of California’s top-two primary system. Later, Conway takes on L.A.’s massive graffiti problem before heading back to the desert for the latest on Primm Casinos. With Affinity Gaming planning to close the remaining Primm properties on July 4, 2026, the Primm family is reportedly looking for a new gaming or hospitality partner to keep the border-town resorts alive. The hour wraps with Bellio remembering her time traveling with the Lakers during the legendary Shaq and Kobe era — and somehow the main thing she remembers is being cold on a flight. Trending Keywords: John Kobylt, ballot harvesting, Skid Row, L.A. mayor race, Nithya Raman, Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, California governor race, Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, L.A. graffiti, Primm Casinos, Affinity Gaming, Lakers, Shaq and Kobe, Bellio, Conway Show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ken and Anthony break down how the Spurs steal one at MSG in a foul-heavy game while Knicks fans shell out up to $10,000 a ticket only to wait two hours in security lines and watch their team lose. The crew also touches on the Guardians dropping a brutal extra-innings game to the Yankees, setting a gloomy tone to kick off the show.

The Knicks took a 2-0 series lead as KAT dominated Wembanyama, leaving us wondering how tonight's officiating will go and why Gio thinks a New York loss will be blamed on President Trump being in attendance. Jerry has postgame sound, capturing fans telling the Spurs to "keep the bus runnin'," Wemby admitting he was high from beating the Thunder, and Josh Hart tackling how expensive seats are pricing out longtime fans. Plus, the Mets beat the Padres and the Yankees topped the Red Sox. Finally, we look at how Shaq's early-season challenge to KAT seemingly worked, and Charles Barkley's claim that Wemby is "in shock" at what the Knicks are doing to him.

Rams Go All-In With Miles Garrett The Los Angeles Rams just reset the NFL conversation. They added Miles Garrett, called the best football player on the planet regardless of position. He is 30. He even set an NFL record last season. It is a thunderclap move that signals urgency right now. Detroit Lions fans feel that jolt. They want the same message. Push for the trophy today. The Lions have not thrown caution aside. They have also not stood still. The context matters. Splash does not always equal rings. How It Frames the Detroit Lions The comparison that landed hardest came from basketball. The Lakers once stacked Karl Malone and Gary Payton onto a roster with Shaq and Kobe. Detroit Pistons beat them four games to one. Age and cohesion mattered more than headlines. There is a fair echo with Matthew Stafford's stage and a superstar at 30 who might be past peak. Still great. Still terrifying. But time is undefeated. Another parallel came from hockey. The New York Rangers added Wayne Gretzky to a lineup with Mark Messier, Luke Robitaille, Brian Leech, and Mike Richter. The stars were brilliant. Depth cracked. They ran into Eric Lindros and the Flyers and got bounced after two rounds. The Flyers later lost to the Red Wings in the Final. The lesson is simple. Depth, health, and timing beat posters on the wall. Detroit's Front Office Note One more thread touched the Lions directly. Detroit hired Chris Grey. He is not the Lions' GM. The hire stirred reactions, especially from Miami. The show kept it in perspective. Roles matter. Structure matters. The decision does not change who runs football operations in Detroit. Early Odds Put Detroit In a Crowded Tier Markets moved fast. As of last night, DraftKings listed the Rams at +550 to win the Super Bowl. That is the best number on the board. The next team sat at +750. The Detroit Lions fell into a second cluster with the Broncos, Packers, and Texans between +1700 and +1900. That is respect without coronation. It reflects belief in Detroit's build and skepticism about any team in June. The Detroit Lions Podcast cut through the noise. Garrett to the Rams is massive. It does not end the season. Detroit's path is still clear. Keep stacking depth. Stay healthy. Peak late. The slogans will not decide it. Snap counts and solutions will. The NFL rewards teams that can win ugly in January. That is still the target in Detroit. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #losangelesrams #mylesgarrett #nflpreseasonfavorites #nflodds #historyofnflfavorites Learn more about your ad choices.

“Champions do daily what everyone does occasionally.”-Kenny Smith NBA champion, award-winning analyst, and basketball icon Kenny “The Jet” Smith joins The Pivot for a layered conversation about basketball, brotherhood, family, and legacy. From his early days at the University of North Carolina playing under legendary coach Dean Smith to winning back-to-back NBA championships with the Houston Rockets, Kenny reflects on the defining moments that shaped his career and his life. Kenny opens up about competing during the Michael Jordan era and shares stories about his longtime relationship with MJ, what made him different, and how that generation transformed basketball forever. He reveals never-told-before stories of college shenanigans, ultimate confidence and being touted the 6th overall pick yet still having animosity towards a certain someone in Chicago. The conversation also jumps into the chemistry and chaos behind the scenes of the award-winning Inside the NBA, as Kenny reveals what it's really like working alongside Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, and Ernie Johnson on one of the most beloved shows in sports television. He opens up about how the show became one of the most influential programs in sports television and why authenticity has always mattered most as it's given an extra voice to new media like podcasts. Beyond basketball, Kenny gets candid about fatherhood, marriage, relationships, personal growth, and navigating life in the spotlight while staying grounded through family. The crew also talks about the current state of the NBA, the rise of Victor Wembanyama, today's superstars, the evolution of the game, and what the future of basketball looks like moving forward. Kenny doubles down on his official prediction for who will win the 2026 NBA Finals in a conversation filled with laughs, wisdom, untold stories, and real perspective that only that locker room can deliver.
