Welcome to our all-new collaborative series, "Hidden Levels," in which we team up with 99% Invisible to explore how the world of video games has impacted the world beyond. We'll dive deep into how games are made and designed, exploring everything from the history of the joystick to the faithful recreation of nature in digital spaces. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller, "Hidden Levels" uncovers how games have quietly changed culture, technology, and the way we see the world...starting with a '90s arcade classic. Developer Mark Turmell worked at Midway, which was known for iconic games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Mortal Kombat. His creation of NBA Jam in 1993 pushed the company in a new direction. It debuted at the height of the Chicago Bulls' dynasty, aiming to capture the energy of professional basketball in a high-octane, over-the-top format. The game was a hit out of the gate, captivating players with its digitized graphics (with the heads of real NBA players) and fantasy gameplay where players could become "on fire." At the heart of the NBA Jam gaming experience was the voice of its announcer, Tim Kitzrow. Turmell and the game's sound team had realized they needed a voice that could match the game's energy and cut through the din of an arcade, without the budget for a professional NBA commentator. So they turned to Kitzrow, an improv comedian and journeyman actor, who was initially hired by Midway for pinball voiceovers — it was just a fun side gig. He had no idea that his work on NBA Jam would make such a lasting impact on the industry. Kitzrow modeled his energetic, flamboyant delivery on NBA announcer Marv Albert, infusing it with his own ad-libbed, short, and punchy catchphrases like "REJECTED!" and the game's most famous line, "Boomshakalaka!"—which was suggested by an artist and inspired by funk group Sly and the Family Stone. The game became a monumental hit, reportedly making $1 billion in quarters in its first year, with its catchphrases entering basketball vernacular. *** Credits: This episode of "Hidden Levels" was produced by James Parkinson, edited by Emmett FitzGerald, and mixed by Martín Gonzalez. Original music by Swan Real, Jamilah Sandoto, and Paul Vaitkus. Series theme by Swan Real and Paul Vaitkus. This story was adapted from James Parkinson's podcast, Gameplay. The Managing Producer for "Hidden Levels" is Chris Berube. The series was created by Ben Brock Johnson. "Hidden Levels" is a production of 99% Invisible and WBUR's Endless Thread.

Cooper and Nolan are crashing down to Earth this week when they cover one of Hollywood's all-time legendary failures - HOWARD THE DUCK! This George Lucas-produced movie is long on duck puns and short on everything else, but even if it had a more coherent plot and better visual effects that still wouldn't be enough to overcome the implied romantic relationship between Marty McFly's mom and a giant talking waterfowl. Long-time listeners can probably predict exactly how much juvenile humor the guys managed to conjure up from this subplot (Hint: it's a LOT), but guessing that they'd make connections to Marv Albert, Meryl Streep, and Sixteen Candles would have been much harder. Sound confusing? Don't let it ruffle your feathers; this episode (featuring a beer from Burdock Brewery) will take to your ears like a duck takes to water!

This week on our iced-out, diamond-drenched Part One episode, we're deep in glamorous chaos with Miami queen and former Real Housewives of Miami star, Lea Black, inside the Palazzo Suite. Draped in diamonds and flanked by bodyguards, Lea drops jaw-dropping stories—from her Texas roots and Beverly Hills nights to jury duty fatefully leading her to powerhouse attorney (and future husband) Roy Black. She opens up about building a beauty empire, her philanthropic passion, and how she's helping families achieve home ownership—all while serving lewks and legacy. Lea dishes on revamping Roy's office (and image), transforming him into a legal media star who went on to defend clients like Rush Limbaugh, Kelsey Grammer, William Kennedy Smith, and Marv Albert. From courtroom dramas to reality TV chaos, nothing's off-limits. Oh, and her bling? Iconic. Her first bank loan at 18? Spent on a diamond. Now she's teasing a Lea Black Jewelry Line with dupe-worthy dazzlers for stylish socialites everywhere. Pol' reads Lea's Armenian coffee cup and sees big moves ahead—reviving her iconic skincare line and selling designer treasures for charity. “I love seeing people thrive,” she says, revealing a heart as big as her rock collection. And yes, the Housewives tea is scalding. Lea spills on how she was never meant to be a full-time cast member, and how producers roped her in after Joe Francis name-dropped her at a taping. She recalls betrayal at the reunion, behind-the-scenes scripting, and castmates who turned cruel once cameras rolled. Her response? “That might've been for the show for you—but not for me.” She calls out “trash over class” casting, confirms friendships with Joanna Krupa, Lisa Hochstein, Karen Sierra, and Anna Kournikova, and praises Teresa Giudice's legendary table flip. There's even a royal roast: Lea muses on William, Kate, Charles, Camilla, Harry, and Meghan, cheekily wondering if the real crisis is PR—not cancer. Plus: Lea weighs in on Jeff Lewis's new man, bougie husbands, COVID-era luxury, the power of a great handbag, and Chump Nation's coffee-reading obsession. From Real Housewife to real-deal philanthropist, Lea Black proves you can wear couture and still care. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

A caller wants the players to get to go home right after a loss and speak to the media the next day instead. We played Marv Albert interviewing Boomer after his Super Bowl loss.

We were encouraged by the Knicks' offensive performance despite their loss. Gio received an old Washington Post article from 1989 where Michael Wilbon wrote about Boomer.

In other sports, Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off home run for the Yankees against the Rangers, and the Mets beat the Red Sox with a Francisco Lindor home run. Jerry also played his signature "What the hell is that sound?" segment.

Tyrese Haliburton made a "choke" gesture after tying the game in regulation, echoing Reggie Miller's past antics.

In other sports news, the Yankees secured a walk-off win against the Rangers with a home run from Jasson Dominguez, and the Mets defeated the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty's three RBIs. The show concluded with Gio reiterating his faith in the Knicks, addressing calls from concerned fans. Hour 2 We were encouraged by the Knicks' offensive performance despite their loss.

Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call of the Pacers' overtime comeback win. Tommy Lugauer offered "3 things to know" about the loss, which Ben Stiller notably "agreed" with in a quote tweet.

Newhouse School (where she earned her master's degree in communications) in 2015, joining the likes of Bob Costas, Marv Albert and Sean McDonough. Mowins also offers her perspectives on the creeping influence of social media on the way some broadcasters approach calling games, the importance of broadcasters knowing when to 'stay out of the way' during big moments in games and letting the camera work of the production crew and crowd paint a powerful picture, and much more!

I first met Maurice Ashley in New York in 1994. He was announcing a chess tournament with all of the fervor and excitement of Marv Albert and John Madden. 30 years later, his passion for the sport is the same, perhaps greater. He's an historic figure in chess as the first African American grandmaster. But that's only a small part of Maurice's story. The game has brought him into schools around the world, preaching the love of the sport he first learned in the parks of Brooklyn. His passion for chess is limitless, initially preaching a joy of the game and then lessons beyond the board.

Let's look at the Dodgers World Series odds to see if they changed since the Shohei Ohtani news. We recapped everything we know right now about Ohtani, his interpreter and payments to a bookie in California. Some people think MLB will cover this up, but in this day and age it's almost impossible. Boomer said he would not be shocked if Ohtani gets a year ban. He would be shocked if it's a lifetime ban. C-Lo is here for an update but first Boomer talked about punishments for betting if you are an MLB player. It all depends on how you bet and what you bet on. That's what determines the penalty. C-Lo has a clip of Boomer from his Jets days that is going around the internet today with Marv Albert on the call. Omar in Brooklyn called in to yell at C-Mac right before the Warm Up Show. The Moment of The Day involves a call from ‘Carmine on Mulberry Street' to talk about Ohtani's gambling scandal. In the final segment of the show, we talked about LIV golf and the PGA Tour.

Hour 1 Boomer & Jerry started with the scandal involving Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter. The interpreter was fired yesterday but the stories aren't straight. Either Ohtani paid off his interpreter's illegal bets or Ohtani was the one betting. Or this guy was stealing money from Ohtani. More information needs to come out. What is the bookie going to say? Will he say Ohtani was his client? It's a $4.5 million dollar illegal transaction with an illegal bookie. Boomer said there is no way Ohtani didn't know that money was going to a bookie. C-Lo is here for his first update of the day and starts with audio surrounding the Ohtani and interpreter situation. Dave Roberts wouldn't comment on it. Aaron Judge returned to the lineup yesterday. Giancarlo Stanton hit 3 HRs last night. The Winnipeg Jets referenced a 2015 call to Mike Francesa on Twitter yesterday. In the final segment of the hour, we took some calls on the Ohtani situation. Boomer said maybe the Angels knew about this which is why they let him go to the Dodgers.  Hour 2 We started the hour with a caller who agrees with Boomer regarding pitchers ERAs. Boomer thinks that since nobody throws 9 innings anymore, we need to adjust how we determine ERA. Boomer also talked about a parlay he's putting in and it involves his friend Phil Simms' alma mater, Morehead State. We got back into calls on Ohtani, his interpreter and the gambling situation. Jerry said maybe Ohtani isn't betting and the bookie gave the interpreter that much credit because he works for Ohtani. C-Lo returned for an update but first we took a call from ‘Carmine on Mulberry Street'. C-Lo said ESPN keeps updating its story with more details on Ohtani, his interpreter and bookies. Chris Russo was upset with Opening Day of baseball being on at 6am in Seoul. He said it's a ‘crime'. C-Lo has a Buzz or No Buzz: Aaron Judge & Giancarlo Stanton's performance last night. In Boston, the news said nobody seems to care about the Red Sox and their upcoming opening day. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer liked a joke on twitter involving Shohei Ohtani and Pete Rose.  Hour 3 Caleb Williams threw at his pro day yesterday and we found out he's really tight with current Bears WR Keenan Allen. Jerry wonders why all these teams went if we all know he's going to the Bears. Boomer said he has the perfect build to be an NFL player. Boomer said the environment is going to be perfect in Chicago for Williams' success. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Long Beach State's head coach meeting the media. He's coaching in the tournament even though he's been fired. He said he's a Seinfeld episode. The Winnipeg Jets referenced a classic Mike Francesa call from 2015 in a tweet to the NY Jets. C-Lo went around the NBA last night. In the final segment of the hour, Colts QB Anthony Richardson helped a motorist out with a flat tire. A caller wants the Jets to draft a QB at 10, but Boomer said that isn't happening.  Hour 4 Let's look at the Dodgers World Series odds to see if they changed since the Shohei Ohtani news. We recapped everything we know right now about Ohtani, his interpreter and payments to a bookie in California. Some people think MLB will cover this up, but in this day and age it's almost impossible. Boomer said he would not be shocked if Ohtani gets a year ban. He would be shocked if it's a lifetime ban. C-Lo is here for an update but first Boomer talked about punishments for betting if you are an MLB player. It all depends on how you bet and what you bet on. That's what determines the penalty.

Join 10's of thousands of your fellow learning leaders and receive a carefully curated email from me each Monday morning to help you start your week off right... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com X/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Ariel wants to be the "Howard Cosell of MMA". “I got the interview skills from my mom, who my friends would always call for advice, and the work ethic from my dad, who never gave an excuse or took a sick day." "So one of the things that early on, before I became a dad was I want to be omnipresent. I believe in this quote from Woody Allen "80% of success is just showing up." I want to be at every single event. I want to be the guy that people when they think of big fights, they think of me. Howard Cosell, of MMA, all that stuff and more." Ariel's Parents: "My mom still watches my show every week, and it's a long show about a topic she doesn't know a hell of a lot about. But she does it because she loves and supports me." "She's the mom that a lot of my brother's girlfriends and stuff would stay in touch with, even after they broke up. Because she just had that connection with people. She asks questions, she listens, she has a good mind and eye for things." "My dad is a workaholic, and he'd be the first to tell you that. He's the kind of guy who, every day, I'd see him Monday through Friday, wake up, go to work at around seven, come home at around seven. He would have this massive box of papers, he would sit at the dinner table, and he would work on all the papers. He would take his shower at like 9:30, go to bed, and start over again, and he couldn't have been happier." Syracuse: In 9th grade, he was reading Sports Illustrated and learned that the U.S.'s top sportscasting degree is earned at Syracuse. Bob Costas went there. Marv Albert went there. So he went to Syracuse. Being homesick and full of anxiety in college: "I wouldn't want to go to the dining hall to eat, so I just stocked up on Blue Diamond almonds. Which I have a hard time eating till this day because it reminds me of those days. Chef Boyardee, Alphagetti, that's what I was eating. I was watching sports in my room, by myself, I had a single room, and I was just crippled with this anxiety. And every time I would leave home to come back to school, like Thanksgiving break was over, and whatnot, Christmas break, I was sad. I was down." When he knew he wanted to cover MMA – back home in the fall of 2006 when he found himself in Champs Sports Bar, on Saint Laurent Boulevard, where the TVs were tuned to a UFC pay-per-view special. When the Quebec-born fighter Georges St-Pierre beat up Matt Hughes and scored a TKO to win the welterweight championship, “the place explodes like the Canadiens just won the Stanley Cup. And I'm like: ‘I want to be a part of this sport.'” Being the Heel – He learned from Howard Cosell, who was known as a heel, the pro wrestling term for the bad guy who people tune in to see fall.  “Heelwani” What does it take to be a great interviewer? Be prepared. Ask thoughtful questions. Don't script the conversation. LISTEN. Ask better follow ups. Make it feel more like a conversation. Feuds with Dana White: "I'm the type of person who doesn't back down, in large part because of my parents and my family, and they never back down, so how could I? And why should I? Especially if I'm not doing anything wrong. So I would say I never sought it, I always try to diffuse it, privately. I don't try to get into Twitter wars and things like that, with other people. Where it seems like they spend their life over there trying to go back and forth. That being said, to your point, which is a great point, having an understanding of pro wrestling, and storylines, and feuds. And I come out of my ESPN chapter as Helwani, and punching back, and it's "High road Helwani, no more" and all that. Yes, sure, there's a little bit of pro wrestling in there, and I love pro wrestling. And I believe that there are a lot of elements in pro wrestling in a lot of different walks of life, including politics and whatnot. Good guy/bad guy, heel/face, all that stuff." How conduct a great interview? "You have to listen, you have to be ready to open your mind, open your heart, and not feel, again, like you're just coming out guns blazing, and hitting someone with haymakers. Listen to them, be soft, be gentle, be welcoming. But, again, Howard Stern, no one did it better, he breaks you down to the point where you think that you're just two guys sitting around, or a girl and a guy sitting around, and there are not even cameras or microphones. They forget that they're on a show, if you're empathetic, if you're warm, if you're welcoming, that's the best result." Make the ASK - Ariel knocked on the door of a senior executive at ESPN. The guy didn't even know who he was. And he asked to be a sideline reporter at basketball games. The senior exec said nobody had ever done that in 20 years. If you want something, ASK for it. Steve Jobs said the difference between the people who dream about stuff and the people who make it happen is the willingness to ask. You gotta ask. "I walked into his office, and there's a lesson, I think, here, for a lot of people. And I was like, "Hey, I have no credibility in the world of basketball, very few people know who I am. I don't have many sources. But if you ever need someone, in the 11th hour someone gets sick, someone gets hurt, I'll be your guy. I'll be your sideline reporter. I know to do that. And he said, "I'll be honest; I've never heard of you. I've never seen MMA. I've never seen your work. But I've been here 20 plus years, and no one has ever done what you just did, so I'll keep you in mind." Which was an amazing thing to hear, and mind-blowing that no one does that. All the offices are right there, just knock on the door."

On today's podcast I continue my series on giving thanks. There are so many great people I've met along the way, way too many to name, but they have all had an impact on me. I talk about the biggest thrill of my career when I announced a Knicks game courtside at MSG with my idol Marv Albert a few feet away. I think that was the first time when I realized that I achieved my dream of being an announcer. I talk about being around Bill Russell and Willis Reed when they coached the Kings. That was an incredible experience for me. I also discuss some of the biggest jerks I've been around such as Barry Bonds and Reggie Jackson. I then discuss some athletes who have changed because of their fame such as Aaron Rodgers. All in all, the vast majority of people I've met in this business are quality individuals.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 8: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump made his lawyers file a 29-page document complaining about Joe Biden's coffee mug. Trump really hates this coffee mug. Trump is really aggrieved by this coffee mug. Trump's fractured emotional and intellectual depth perception is triggered by this coffee mug. Trump's last thought before he dies might just be about this coffee mug. He made his lawyers put a picture of this coffee mug IN the response to the government's motion to keep him from taking the evidence produced in discovery and using it to try to get somebody to kill the witnesses or the prosecutors or the judges or the Attorney General or you or me or whoever. He believes this coffee mug gives him permission to take just about anything the prosecution has and write another hundred self-pitying posts about it or give another interminable TWO hundred speeches about it. It's SOME coffee mug. I wonder if Judge Tanya Chutkan has stopped laughing yet. Jack Smith quickly responded claiming Trump is seeking help trying the case in the media not in the courtroom and Judge Chutkan has already scheduled a hearing sometime before Friday.  Plus the Atlanta indictments are expected this week or next but no earlier than Thursday. His genius lawyers are now 0-4 versus E. Jean Carroll and Trump tries to attack DEVON Archer but instead attacks KEVIN Archer, co-founder of the group "Dexy's Midnight Runners" and you know what their one hit was, right? C'mon Aileen Cannon. B-Block (19:16) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: In what might be the longest 'Worsts' in this series, Piers Morgan's hatred of America and Kayleigh McEnany's complete fabrication about seeing "The Devon Archer hearing" cannot compete with Baltimore Orioles' CEO John Angelos who suspended his terrific young announcer Kevin Brown for complimenting the team on how much more success it's had this year than in previous seasons. Seriously. The guy wants the audience to believe the Orioles have never lost a game. I've been the victim of some BS suspensions, but nothing to compare to this BS. (25:54) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Just 16,194 days ago I got a letter that so profoundly changed my life that I know exactly where it is at this minute and I bet I haven't gone a full week without thinking of it. C-Block (39:49) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL (Part 2): The letter was from Lou Adler, News Director of WCBS Radio in New York. And the trip to get back to my apartment to GET the letter ALSO nearly changed my life.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
