The Bad Speakers are back with another wild, honest, and hilarious episode packed with sports drama, hip-hop headlines, and real relationship talk. Episode 214, Better In Bed, tackles some of the biggest conversations shaking the culture this week — from Hall of Fame snubs to Grammy moments and the never-ending debate about dating and boundaries. The crew kicks things off reacting to the shocking news that Eli Manning and Bill Belichick didn't make the Hall of Fame — did the voters get it right or disrespect two legends? They also celebrate Derrick Rose's jersey retirement and debate whether his impact truly earned that honor, plus a salute to AJ Styles retiring from professional wrestling. Things get spicy when the guys break down the Epstein files release, which allegedly mentions Jay-Z and Pusha T — are these claims believable or just internet chaos? They also react to NLE Choppa's viral rant, and recap the highly anticipated Hit-Boy vs Mike Will Made-It Verzuz — who really won the producer battle? Music fans get a full 2026 Grammy Awards review, highlighting Kendrick Lamar's huge night with five wins, while sports talk continues with Zion Williamson losing his Jordan Brand deal and Shakur Stevenson defeating Teofimo Lopez in a major boxing matchup. Relationship debates bring classic Bad Speakers energy: Is it okay for your girlfriend to have male friends? Is there an age limit on certain adult lifestyles? And the big question… who's better in bed — older women or younger women? This episode delivers the perfect mix of hip-hop insight, sports analysis, and unfiltered relationship conversationsyou can only get from the Bad Speakers.

The hits just keep on coming early in this 2026 golf season: Patrick Reed is BACK on the PGA Tour... in August. Andy and Brendan begin this episode with some other breaking news regarding a beloved recurring bit possibly coming to an end and some more details about the SGS Live Show coming to Evanston on Thursday, February 12. They then dive into the biggest news of Thursday: Tony Finau's new Jordan Brand clothing. After a conversation about fashion, Andy and Brendan discuss Patrick Reed's decision to leave LIV Golf and play the DP World Tour in 2026 before returning to the PGA Tour in 2027. They debate whether "LIV is dead," as reported by many, and wonder whether any other LIV players will reassess their allegiances after Brian Rolapp removed another hurdle towards a PGA Tour return for Reed. Andy deems that LIV deserves this outcome of losing its stars following a FOX Sports graphic promoting the season opener that misspelled the names of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Martin Kaymer (henceforth known as Martin Kraymer on this podcast). Brendan reads Patrick Reed's statement, in which he claims he was "born to play on the PGA Tour," even though he voluntarily left said Tour years ago to play on LIV. The real winners in all of this? Guys like Laurie Canter and Victor Perez, who now have one less player to compete against for these big purses. Speaking of returning players, Brooks Koepka played his first round back on the PGA Tour on ESPN, carding a 73 on the South Course at Torrey Pines. Andy compares his "re-debut" to what it's like when Tiger returns from an injury, leading to massive over-analysis of every little thing in one round or tournament. Koepka played with Ludvig Åberg - always comfortable going to and from the course - and Max Homa, both of whom struggled mightily on Thursday. Justin Lower and Justin Rose are atop the leaderboard at Farmers. We end the show with the return of Golf Advice, featuring an Andy-submitted question for Brendan and a listener question that BP deems "human advice." Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

This week, Justin chats with Dan Blaney, an accomplished head of production, now working as Executive Director of Production at Fig. Dan has an impressive resume that includes roles at Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, Apple, and more.

He emphasizes the significance of viewing roles beyond transactions, encouraging creative voices, and maintaining passion and dedication in the advertising field.Dan also discusses what makes creative collaboration succeed: from choosing the right directors and production partners, to creating space for ideas to come from anywhere, and knowing when to speak up to make the work better. Throughout the episode, Dan emphasizes a simple but powerful philosophy: there's always a way to make it happen, regardless of budget or scale.This episode offers practical insight, hard-earned perspective, and a refreshing reminder that great work comes from curiosity, empathy, and collaboration.

In this episode of the Hoop Genius Podcast, Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr break down how the NBA took over London for a historic weekend, from Ja Morant's dominant performance with the Memphis Grizzlies to Anthony Black's dunk that may already be the dunk of the season.Mo takes you inside the entire London takeover: interviews with Joakim Noah, Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane and Anthony Black; Nike and Jordan Brand activations, the House of Ja event, and hosting NBA 2K26 at the NBA House. You'll hear how NBA 2K26 Season 4 is changing the game, including new All-Star Weekend features and rewards.On the court, we dig into what Ja Morant's London performance says about his future in Memphis, why Detroit's rise to the top of the East is no fluke, and why the Boston Celtics are winning despite not being built like a Finals team. Coach Suhr explains why Joe Mazzulla deserves Coach of the Year consideration and why the Knicks' defensive identity has collapsed.We also go deep on the Western Conference: concerns about OKC's injuries, why Minnesota is the most dangerous matchup team, why the Lakers are not real contenders, and how the Clippers have quietly become a problem again behind Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.If you care about the NBA's global growth, real basketball analysis, and what's actually happening behind the headlines, this episode is for you.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Brawley Chisholm III. The two talk about the journey of founding a nonprofit, the challenges of getting started, and the game-changing benefits of offering free events that teach everything from financial literacy to coding, yoga, and basketball.  In this episode, we discuss: How Brawley Chisholm III, former Harlem Globetrotter, channeled his basketball passion and New York roots into founding CHAMP (Cultivating Humanity And Manifesting Purpose), inspired by childhood programs that provided free access to sports for inner-city kids. What drove Brawley to launch CHAMP—recognizing that while he achieved his athletic dreams, he felt a void in community impact, leading him to create free events blending sports, life skills, and professional development for underserved youth. When CHAMP's first event took place at a Baltimore public school, quickly snowballing into larger back-to-school initiatives like the Bronx event at Mallalis Park near Yankee Stadium, serving 200 kids with rotating skill-building stations. Why consistency and starting small matters—Brawley emphasizes overcoming overthinking by leaning on mentors, with CHAMP expanding to teen summits in Indiana featuring panels, meditation, sales training, coding, and gaming scholarships. How CHAMP addresses modern needs like social media, AI, and gaming careers, teaching kids to look beyond playing games to opportunities in production, logos, and business behind them.   Brawley Chisholm III is a three-time Emmy-nominated entertainer, longtime Harlem Globetrotter, and founder of CHAMP—his youth nonprofit focused on financial literacy, wellness, creativity, and career development for ages 8–18. After performing in over 60 countries, he's dedicated his platform to mentorship and purpose-driven impact. He also co-leads EMCC Media, producing cinematic brand storytelling for companies like Converse and Jordan Brand, and hosts "Confidently Different," a motivational series centered on confidence and mental wellness. Born in Brooklyn and raised in The Bronx, Brawley's mission is simple: inspire through authenticity, purpose, and service. https://becomeachamp.org/      

Fred Whitfield first set foot in Carter Gym in the late 1960s – as an 8-year-old attending the Campbell Basketball School. Little did he know then that Campbell University would be a launching point for an incredible career in athletics. A decade of summer camps in Buies Creek helped develop the skills that would enable him to play Division I basketball. The educational foundation set by his parents propelled him to not only an undergraduate degree, but an MBA and law school. His accomplishments and awards are numerous – induction into the Campbell Athletics and North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, recipient of the Order of the Longleaf Pine and the Thurgood Marshall Award of Excellence, the playing floor at his high school bears his name. Those honors and many others have followed a career that began in coaching at his alma mater, opening a law practice, joining one of the most prestigious sports agent firms in the world, working at Nike, where he helped launch the Jordan Brand and serving as an executive for two NBA franchises. Along the way, Fred Whitfield always built relationships first. Whether it was starting a basketball camp for underserved youth in his hometown of Greensboro, negotiating deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars, or working with leaders from both sides of the aisle through politically sensitive subjects, Fred's humility, sense of service and the ability to ask the right question at the right time all have served him, and those he encounters, well. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, North Carolina Sports and Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame member Fred Whitfield chats with Stan Cole about growing up in Greensboro, attending the Campbell Basketball School, his path to Campbell, his professional journey and much more. Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

What happens when one of the most respected minds in women's basketball returns home to build something historic? You get the incredible story of Coach Damitria “Coach D” Buchanan — a proud Houston native, visionary recruiter, and leader on a mission to bring the H-Town heat back to the hardwood.From her roots in Houston's basketball culture to her rise as one of the sharpest assistants in the college game, Coach D's story is built on faith, fire, and fearlessness. Now, after 14 years of coaching success, she's back where it all started — ready to lead the University of Houston Women's Basketball program into a new era in the Big 12.Growing up during the days of the Houston Comets and Rockets dynasties, Coach D's path to basketball wasn't typical. She was a musician first — until seventh grade, when a basketball and a spark of curiosity changed everything.At 6'3”, she became a defensive powerhouse in Texas AAU basketball, eventually earning a scholarship to Texas A&M, where she helped lay the foundation for the Aggies' championship culture. Though she graduated a year before the team's 2011 NCAA title, her fingerprints are all over that winning legacy.Coach D's coaching résumé is a masterclass in grit. From Stephen F. Austin to Auburn, and now back home in Houston, she's built programs that reflect her signature — energy, empathy, and excellence.“Basketball has taught me resilience,” she says. “You don't get everything right the first time, but you grow through every challenge.”Her coaching philosophy centers on relationships — creating space for players to be competitive and confident, tough and authentic.With Houston's move to the Big 12, the competition is fierce — but so is the opportunity. Coach D knows the city's overflowing talent pool could make the Cougars unstoppable.“If we can get Houston kids to stay home, we'll be dangerous. We've got the resources, the facilities, and the family atmosphere to compete with anybody.”From the Jordan Brand partnership to a deep community connection, Houston is more than a basketball program — it's a movement. And Coach D is leading the charge to make H-Town hoops electric again.Away from the sidelines, Coach D is every bit as authentic. She's passionate about mentoring young women, championing diversity in sports, and representing her city with pride. She wants the world to know that Houston basketball — and HBCU-bred excellence — belongs on the national stage.Her message to the city: “There are 4 million people here. If we can get 10,000 of them in the building, we can change the game.”Coach D isn't just coaching for wins — she's building a legacy. Her goal: turn the University of Houston into a perennial powerhouse and create opportunities for the next generation of women who love the game.

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presents STEVE THOMSON Steve Thomson, known as "Happy Life Wood," is a realism artist and sculptor who specializes in wood inlay, carving, and sculpting techniques to create lifelike objects. He does not use paints or stains in his work, instead sourcing exotic wood species to achieve natural color variations. His most notable pieces include three-dimensional wooden sculptures of sneakers and clothing, meticulously hand-crafted and carved with distinct textures to replicate fabric and other materials.After a 25+ year career in corporate marketing and graphic design, Thomson transitioned into woodworking. What began as a hobby evolved into a passion, and one day, he decided to repurpose wood scraps in his studio to create an image. After six months of experimentation, he completed his first portrait—a depiction of Kobe Bryant—which he sold to Bryant's former teammate and international basketball legend Pau Gasol. Since then, Thomson has sold and commissioned pieces for clients worldwide, including auctions with Sotheby's and Heritage. In the past year alone, videos showcasing his art have amassed nearly 150 million views across social media platforms. Notable owners of his work include Michael Jordan, A$AP Rocky, and Kevin Durant. He has also collaborated with Jordan Brand, BMW, the Chicago Bulls, and the Golden State Warriors. In 2024, Thomson designed and collaborated on a golf sneaker with Jordan Brand, which debuted during the Masters Tournament. Thomson's process is highly detailed and labor-intensive, with most pieces requiring hundreds of hours to complete. His work continues to evolve from his workshop and studio in Rochester, New York.Watch the documentary https://youtu.be/dRcr-pP-7JwINCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE PLANEThttps://www.lulusmexicanfood.com/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠

Jarvis Lawson is a Milwaukee based photographer who has worked with dozens of organizations over the years including Alaska Airlines, Jordan Brand, Stella Artois, My Helsinki, Under Armour, Vice, and Visit California. Everything started for Jarvis when he came across a skyline photo online that was shot with an iPhone. An android user at the time, Jarvis said up his money and knew he had to get an iPhone for himself. He immediately poured himself into photography driving to Chicago every day he could to take photos of abandoned buildings, skylines, gritty alleyways, puddles, and anything else that caught his eye. People quickly took notice and he began to build a following on Instagram using the hashtag #iphoneonly . He was even a featured photographer that Instagram itself interviewed and promoted. After about a year of shooting exclusively with his iPhone his mom bought him his first DLSR. From there both his skills and his career truly blossomed. His first big break came when he was hired by Visit California to hit the road and capture the beauty of Northern California's parks and mountains. Not long after that he found himself shooting photos for My Helsinki to help promote tourism to Finland. Jarvis has travelled the world shooting photos for many large organizations, but he has also done extensive work in the the product photography and portrait space for massively successful brands like Under Armour, Jordan Brand, Stella Artois, and more. In this episode we discuss Jarvis's photography journey from his humble iPhone beginnings to capturing cycling trip in the Czech Republic, and so much more. He also opens up about how he built his career and gives a ton of valuable insight and advice that any photographer, or creative in general, could benefit from.
