Podcast appearances and mentions of James Dolan

The Pandemic was nearly half a decade ago now, but its impact on our societal norms have been undeniable, and still impact our lives today in ways we don't often consider. In today's free-wheeling, chaotic Friday edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will and The Crew dive into the lingering symptoms of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the rise of work-from-home jobs to the disappearance of the handshake.Plus, they take a look at more of Joy Reid's shameless race-grifting, this time directed towards New York Knick's owner James Dolan, the fallout from a viral clip of a now-former JP Morgan DEI executive vandalizing a Knicks themed trash can, and Shaq's unshakeable belief in the flat earth conspiracy theory.Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠⁠⁠Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), Instagram (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), TikTok (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), and Facebook (⁠⁠⁠@WillCainNews)Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous.   First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking.   Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it.   From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals?   Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there.   New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. June 23, 2026

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash discuss the Knicks' offseason as it unfolds in front of them, waiting on Giannis Antetokounmpo's decision and needing to potentially pick between Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet, or the second apron.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 18, 2026. We open with a California bill moving through the legislature that would allow minors in residential treatment facilities to trigger state investigations of their own parents — and we explain why this isn't about protecting children from genuine abuse. It's about a state that has spent years operating from the assumption that parents are wrong and government is right. We walk through the mechanism — buried inside dry juvenile dependency language is a process by which a child who disagrees with their court-ordered treatment can initiate a legal review that effectively places their parents under state investigation. We connect it to a pattern the left has run for years — driving a wedge between children and the parents who are trying to save them, and then letting the state step in as the replacement parent. And we warn parents outside California that bad ideas rarely stay behind state lines. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding — covering the five key pillars, with a 60-day negotiating window to reach a final deal and reconstruction funds from regional partners available if Iran follows through. Then D.C. Democrat primary winner Janice Lewis George is heading toward the general election, with President Trump already promising to take back D.C. if a socialist wins the mayor's race. And the Coast Guard intercepted a speedboat off the coast of Florida carrying 25 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country illegally — firing on the engines to disable the vessel after repeated warnings went ignored. We note that we have never in our lifetimes heard of the U.S. government disabling boats trying to enter illegally — and call it exactly what it is: a closed border. We sit down with Dr. Peter Earle of the American Institute for Economic Research to take the actual temperature of the U.S. economy — separate from the media's doom-and-gloom narrative. Dr. Earle's assessment: the hard data still describe an expansion, but forward-looking indicators are more cautious. Consumer spending remains positive, corporate earnings are holding up, and there are no overall recessionary conditions — but elevated interest rates, housing affordability, and the national debt are real concerns. He also explains why gas prices won't drop overnight even with the Iran deal — the research shows it takes about 22 weeks for oil price reductions to fully pass through to consumers, meaning relief at the pump is more likely late summer or early fall. And he explains why Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is less about personal wealth and more about what it will cost to turn SpaceX into the Amtrak of space travel over the next several decades. Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to promote the opening of the Obama Presidential Center — and Barack said he wants visitors to walk through and think, what's possible? We take him at his word and answer the question. We also note that many of the subcontractors who built the nearly billion-dollar complex — which ran nearly $300 million over budget — have reportedly not been paid. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the San Francisco Giants story — where pitchers were warned by MLB after writing Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night. A San Francisco player spoke beautifully about why the rainbow holds deep biblical meaning for Christians as the sign of God's Noahic covenant — and why writing Genesis 9:12-16 on a hat is not anti-anything. It's pro-something. Teri says she supports marriage equality — and still thinks forcing players to celebrate someone else's sexuality on their uniforms is wrong, performative, and is actually pushing people away from the very acceptance the movement says it wants. We also cover the New York Knicks' White House visit — and their championship celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Mamdani delivered a 10-minute speech before anyone from the actual championship team could speak. Knicks owner James Dolan stepped to the mic and said simply — I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote you. If you're a real Knicks fan, you already know. Nobody needed a program to figure out who that was aimed at. For our Bright Spot, a new American Enterprise Institute poll on civic values finds that 82% of Americans believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender, 79% say everyone has the right to their religious beliefs, 72% still believe hard work can lead to prosperity, and 66% believe people can criticize the government without fear of punishment. We call this exactly what it is — evidence that the American idea is still alive in the hearts of most Americans — and note that 75% say the Declaration of Independence should be taught in high school, even though only 29% have actually read it. It's two pages, folks. We also cover a Trump-appointed federal judge who ordered ICE to release a Palestinian green card holder convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces — a man the U.S. government has known about for 25 years. We ask the more important question — why did we let him in in the first place? And we close with Alyssa Goralnik, who published a children's vocabulary book called Weighty Words in 1985 and never made a dime. Forty years later, an author named Eli McCann posted a video about the book on social media. Within weeks it hit the top of Amazon's bestseller charts and publishers rushed a second printing — not bad for a book written 20 years before Amazon existed.

Today's Headlines: The Obama Presidential Center officially opened on the South Side of Chicago yesterday — a 19-acre campus with a museum, library, gardens, and a sledding hill — on Juneteenth, the same day Trump signed a worse version of Obama's Iran deal at Versailles, which is the kind of historic irony that writes itself. The Knicks held their ticker tape parade in downtown Manhattan to celebrate their first NBA championship in 53 years, Zohran Mamdani gave them the keys to the city, and Knicks owner James Dolan used his remarks to shade the mayor without naming him. JD Vance spent yesterday claiming Trump would rank at the top of an IQ test against all 45 previous presidents and telling Israel to "wake up and smell the reality" that Trump is their only ally left in the world, which is both a threat and an accurate description of what Trump's Iran deal accomplished. Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery for the second time this week in one of its largest drone attacks of the war, with Zelensky saying the goal is to bring Putin back to the negotiating table and announcing G7 leaders — including the US — reached "unprecedented agreement" on additional air defense support for Ukraine. On the immigration beat, a Reuters analysis found that the death rate in ICE detention centers has more than doubled under Trump, from one death per 3,848 detainees historically to one per 1,630 since January, with 50 people dying from suicides, cardiovascular events, and untreated chronic conditions. The Trump administration quietly redirected $350 million from Secret Service training and recruitment funds to the White House ballroom-bunker, bringing its total projected cost to $600 million with taxpayers footing more than half — despite Trump's promise that he and donors would cover it entirely. And the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, less than a week after its $14 million renovation, now has the worst algae levels in five years, and the hydrogen peroxide treatment meant to fix it caused the new paint to start peeling off in sheets.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explore how the Knicks championship changes the mood around New York sports, especially as the Yankees continue to look like the best team in the American League. For fans still riding the high of a title, the pressure of baseball season may feel different now. The conversation hits the Yankees winning through injuries, the Mets waiting on Francisco Lindor's return, OG Anunoby's loose Mets fandom, possible Knicks draft ideas, Donte DiVincenzo trade complications, and James Dolan's comments about spending after a championship season.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the mixed fan experience around the Knicks championship parade, from complaints about blocked access to the reality of security concerns in New York City. The conversation then turns toward the future of the Knicks, with callers pushing for aggressive moves and Evan weighing how ruthless Leon Rose should be after delivering a title. The guys also dig into James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron and what they could mean for a championship team trying to run it back. Then Evan makes the case that critical comments from the Phillies broadcast about the Mets defense should be played in the locker room, hoping they can become the same kind of bulletin board material Philadelphia once used against Keith Hernandez.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit an old debate over which New York team would deliver the city's next championship, and Evan has to own a very loud miss after laughing off Tiki's belief in the Knicks. With the city still buzzing from a title celebration, the conversation turns to parades, predictions, and what comes next for a team now facing championship expectations. The hour also dives into a new manager decision stat that has Aaron Boone ranked at the top of baseball, much to Big Mac's delight, while Carlos Mendoza lands in the middle of the pack. Plus, the guys debate James Dolan's comments about the second apron, roast the Nets through Cinco de Lunch, and wonder whether sharp criticism from the Phillies broadcast could become the Mets' newest source of motivation.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the aftermath of the Knicks championship parade, from the debate over Mamdani's Knicks fandom to the massive crowds that overwhelmed parts of the Canyon of Heroes celebration. The guys dig into whether a great parade speech proves real fan credibility, hear from callers who were there, debate whether New York needs a bigger parade plan, and look ahead to major Knicks offseason questions involving James Dolan, the second apron, Karl-Anthony Towns and the NBA Draft.

The Knicks are champions, the parade is over, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are ready to ask the question fans may not want to face yet: what comes next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron spark a passionate debate about whether a billionaire owner should ever say the check is too big when a championship window is open. Evan and Tiki break down the risks of running it back, the future decisions around Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet, Karl Anthony Towns, and Leon Rose's next moves. They also react to Knicks parade stories from fans, the debate over Mayor Mamdani's Knicks fandom, a classic Mets and Yankees crossover moment, and the turning point in the Yankees' loss to the White Sox.

The Knicks are NBA champions, the parade is over, and Evan & Tiki are finally ready to ask what comes next. Evan reacts to James Dolan's comments about the second apron and why Knicks fans should not want to hear a billionaire owner talk about a check being too big. The guys debate whether Leon Rose can convince Dolan to spend, what it means for Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet and the rest of the championship core, and whether Karl-Anthony Towns could eventually become a tough business decision. Plus, fans call in with parade stories, Evan investigates whether Mayor Mamdani is really a Knicks fan, the guys argue over which New York team could have the next massive parade, and the show gets into the Yankees' loss to the White Sox, Anthony Volpe's mistake, Aaron Boone analytics, Mets-Phillies drama, Francisco Lindor's return, Idiots with Idioms and some World Cup confusion.

The Knicks are champions, the parade glow is still fresh, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber begin the conversation every fan knew was coming: what happens next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron turn the celebration into a debate over money, flexibility, and how far an owner should go to protect a championship window. Evan pushes back on the idea that any New York owner should say a check is too big, while Tiki weighs the business reality of keeping a contender together. The conversation also touches on Leon Rose's role, the possibility of running it back with key pieces like Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet, fan reaction to the parade, and a caller's throwback frustration over “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

A funny Knicks parade moment leads Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber into a classic New York sports crossover, with Evan revisiting his “Who Let the Dogs Out” line and why the song still hits a nerve for Mets fans. The conversation captures the odd mix of joy, rivalry, and old wounds that only a Knicks championship celebration could bring out. Evan and Tiki also dig into the speeches around the celebration, praising the delivery of the joke while questioning James Dolan's timing and tone. From Dolan's comments about the mayor to Charles Oakley's place in Knicks history and the debate over Mayor Mamdani's true fandom, the segment turns a parade recap into a bigger conversation about loyalty, politics, and New York sports identity.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber close the hour by digging into the Knicks offseason questions that come after a championship celebration, including James Dolan's spending comments, the second apron and what KAT's next contract could mean for keeping the roster together. The conversation also hits the wild scene at the parade, the debate over crowd size and access, Todd Zeile cracking up over Francisco Alvarez's painful moment, a quick NBA Draft thought and the theory behind Mikal Bridges wearing a number four Knicks jersey.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Knicks parade. Mikal Bridges brought his dog to the parade. We heard from Mayor Mamdani at the parade. We also heard from James Dolan. The Yankees lost to the White Sox. The Mets beat the Phillies as Juan Soto homered twice.

Boomer kicks things off by comparing the 1994 Rangers' future to the Knicks' championship outlook, leading into a discussion on which players are under contract. A caller notes Mamdani's wife wore a bootleg shirt, Richard in Manhattan praises Mamdani's speech, and Boomer wonders if the NBA Cup belongs on the championship banner. Jerry's update delivers parade sounds, Mikal Bridges' dog, Mayor Mamdani, and James Dolan's reality check for young fans. Finally, the Yankees fall to the White Sox after a rough Rich Hill outing and a Benintendi grand slam, the Mets beat the Phillies behind two Juan Soto homers, and we close on why the NBA should be happy the team that won the cup also won the championship.

We dive straight into yesterday's chaotic, capped-off Knicks parade with James Dolan's shots at the Mayor, viral twerking fights, and Jerry's audio clips from Jalen Brunson and Carmelo Anthony, alongside a big Mets win and a tough Yankees loss. Next, Boomer compares the Knicks' future to the '94 Rangers, Richard praises Mamdani's speech, and the baseball recaps continue after a rough Rich Hill outing. Then, the guys look for World Cup fever in the suburbs, share Brunson's message to the haters, and break down a bizarre TSA ranch dressing warning. Finally, Gio vents about the parade's communication breakdown, an NYPD officer calls the event a disaster, and the week wraps up with a hilarious "Blow Pig" Moment of the Day and US Open coverage.

Friday's show starts with World Cup talk as the guys react to USA's strong start against Paraguay and Lionel Messi continuing his historic run with a hat trick at 39 years old, fueling GOAT debate and broader tournament discussion. The conversation shifts to the U.S. Open and how difficult the course conditions are, leading into a wider look at how frustrating golf can be even for casual players, before touching on Knicks championship parade fallout and James Dolan's comments about New York leadership. Mike Florio then joins to break down the latest in the Brendan Sorsby situation, including gambling allegations, his entry into the NFL Supplemental Draft, potential discipline, and how teams may evaluate his draft value, while also hitting on Brandon Aiyuk's situation in San Francisco, NFL expectations for the Chargers, and Malik Willis' potential fit in Miami. The show wraps with NBA offseason talk, including Heat trade buzz around Giannis Antetokounmpo, Miami's chances to land a deal before the draft, and continued debate over Tyler Herro's role and whether he can truly be a closer

Hour 1 opens with World Cup discussion before the guys shift their focus to the U.S. Open, where Joe talks about just how difficult professional golf really is and why he's always struggled to play the game himself. The conversation branches into other challenging sports, including bowling and the rarity of a perfect 300 game, before touching on the Knicks' championship parade and James Dolan taking shots at New York City leadership. Mike Florio then joins the show to break down the latest developments in the Brendan Sorsby saga, including questions surrounding the NFL Supplemental Draft, potential discipline from the league, and whether a team like the Dolphins should consider taking a chance on him. Florio also weighs in on Brandon Aiyuk's ongoing standoff with the 49ers, expectations for Mike McDaniel and the Chargers offense, and Malik Willis' outlook in Miami. The hour wraps with NBA talk as Joe reacts to recent comments from Doc Rivers about Tyler Herro and debates whether Herro can truly be considered a closer for the Heat.

It's a Mattjority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: Matt Binder guest hosts for Emma Vigeland who is partying in the streets of Manhattan at the Knicks parade. Before day drinking with Karl Anthony-Towns, Emma pretaped two interviews. First, she is joined by Ken Klippenstein, investigative journalist and publisher of KlipNews on Substack, for a conversation about the 15 anti-ICE activists arrested by the DOJ under NSPM-7. Then Emma is joined by Melat Kiros, candidate for Co-1 Congressional District. Kiros recently came under attack by the wealthiest man in Colorado over her attempt to host a campaign rally with Hasan Piker. This resulted in her having to change venues three-times and ultimately holding the rally on the steps of the state capitol without Piker. Donald Trump has changed his tune on Iran, now saying they have a right to defend themselves and is fine with them developing ballistic missiles. Clearly this move is motivated by his terrible polling as the man has no ideology just financial and egotistical interests. In the Fun Half: Knicks owner James Dolan says that he and his team have accepted an invitation to the White House. If this is true than they would be the first NBA team to visit the White House during either of Trump's terms.
