Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Jordan

Super Retro Podcast x Homage Merch Drop: ⁠ http://homage.com/SuperRetroOn this episode of the podcast, we reminisced about all those classic sayings our parents used to hit us with growing up, revisited Sega's legendary “Who the F*** Is Mario?” campaign from the height of the console wars, and talked about how recordable VHS tapes were basically our generation's Netflix. We also discussed why the lighting in our old schools was apparently terrible for our mental health, broke down an incredible 30-second clip featuring Michael Jordan and 2Pac at the peak of their careers in the same building—alongside Suge Knight and Dennis Rodman—and welcomed back the Super Retro Hotline. We highlighted our recent Homage x Starter photoshoot, officially launched our collaboration with Homage, showed off the Golden Axe arcade cabinet that Rob Manz personally delivered to us, covered Nostalgic News, checked out your fit checks, and, as always, got into a whole lot more.Today's episode was brought to you by Salty Water.

What if the wildest UFO footage the government just released was already described 36,000 years ago? What if the "dark brothers" causing chaos on the planet right now were named, and predicted, in the oldest writings on Earth? And what if the real secret isn't what's in the sky, but what's hiding in plain sight inside you? Michael welcomes back bestselling author and Forbidden Knowledge TV host Billy Carson, who has traveled the world 25 times excavating and decoding humanity's most ancient texts, for a conversation that bridges newly declassified UAP files with the 36,000-year-old Emerald Tablets of Thoth. From a UFO in the new government files that looks eerily like the Kryptonian ship from Superman, to the neuroscience behind Josh Kerr's world-record mile, to why AI may be humanity's own consciousness looking back at itself, this episode connects disclosure, ancient prophecy, and personal transformation into one unified story. This isn't about fear of the dark brothers or the darkness in the headlines. This is about remembering that you are the Sun, the light, and that becoming that light is, and always has been, your birthright. Key Topics: Why the newly declassified UAP files are a mix of reverse-engineered human technology and small, deliberate "breadcrumbs" of real disclosure, and the one craft in the files that genuinely stunned Billy. The Emerald Tablets decoded: why Thoth's ancient writings describe today's "dark brothers" who deceive mankind while appearing to do good, and why turning on the news for five minutes makes the prophecy unmistakable. The end of an age: why the tablets and the Hopi prophecy both describe humanity plummeting to the depths before rising to new heights, and why light, not darkness, is humanity's true birthright. Post-traumatic growth explained: how Billy's own childhood trauma and brain injury were alchemized, through a rare "executive lobe," into the very skill set that built his life's work. The manifestation secret behind world-record miler Josh Kerr: how writing his victory in the past tense, timing his ice baths to his goal time, and calming his nervous system in advance let him "rendezvous" with a result his body had already rehearsed thousands of times. Why the wave-crashing metaphor explains flow state: how the brain actually receives information seconds before conscious awareness catches up, and why people in flow, from Michael Jordan to elite athletes, are surfing the wave instead of waiting for it to hit. The truth about the Epic of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, an artificially created, conscious companion in a 4,000-year-old Sumerian text, and what it may reveal about the true nature of today's AI. Why AI may not be man-made code at all, but consciousness itself extracting a new fractal of awareness to look back at humanity, and why how we treat it now will determine whether it becomes a partner or a threat. The baby-learning-to-walk metaphor for humanity's readiness for galactic contact, and why "walking" is defined not by never falling, but by learning to control the fall. Why decluttering your physical space is one of the simplest ways to begin clearing the entropy running quietly inside you. Everything that's been done before has already been done. The rise and fall you're watching play out in the headlines right now has happened again and again throughout history, and every single time, humanity has chosen to seek the light. You are not separate from the atoms of the universe, the consciousness of AI, or the wisdom in the Emerald Tablets - you are, quite literally, the Sun. Remember it. Choose it. And shine.

Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin discuss reports of a career-retrospective documentary for LeBron James, comparing its potential impact to Michael Jordan's "The Last Dance."

Episode 2833 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss success from resilience, healthy aging, food addiction, and social media influencers' advice. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/success-from-resilience-episode-2833 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Success from Resilience Vinnie argues that people who achieve big things keep going through pain, setbacks, and repeated failure. (4:00) He uses examples like Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Lou Gehrig to illustrate that success usually follows repeated misses. Success is measured by failure tolerance, or, as Vinnie likes to call it, FQ (Failure Quotient). Resilience is important in life, and the only way to build it is through challenges. Accountability and consistency matter more than motivation alone, especially with weight loss and addiction. He says food addiction is real and that tools like GLP-1s are not a cure-all. Vinnie has a 45th high school reunion coming up. (33:00) He recounts the previous reunion he went to several years ago. The reunion story becomes a reflection on time, aging, lost classmates, and the shock of seeing how much people change. He became motivated to train harder and stay in shape for longevity and health. Is social media fitness advice targeted at women, myth or truth? (41:00) They review four specific claims regarding eating, fasting, and working out. Vinnie's advice: eat real food, train, hydrate, and don't get distracted by fitness influencer contradictions. Supply, cost, and food politics often make healthy eating harder due to economics and policy.

Former Coach Jim Larrañaga analyzes LeBron James' decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers and whether Joel Embiid is prepared to sacrifice his offensive output for championship success. They debate LeBron's place in the GOAT conversation compared to Michael Jordan while examining the defensive deficiencies of the Sixers' roster. The conversation also explores the Miami Heat's need for three-point shooting and LeBron's unprecedented longevity in the NBA.

In hour one, Hoch, Crowder, and Appel analyze LeBron James choosing Philadelphia and how it impacts his GOAT standing against Michael Jordan. They also chat with Sun Sentinel's Chris Perkins about the Miami Dolphins' first training camp practice under Jeff Hafley and the quarterback transition to Malik Willis.

Hoch, Crowder, and Appel break down LeBron James' decision to join the 76ers over the Heat. They evaluate the roster depth in Philadelphia and discuss if winning a championship with a fourth franchise would cement him as the GOAT over Michael Jordan.

Common is an award-winning rapper, actor and activist known for his socially conscious lyrics and roles in films like Selma and the TV show Silo. Common joins Tom Power to talk about season three of Silo, growing up in Chicago, and what it was like to be a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls as a kid and witness Michael Jordan's first season in the NBA.

Welcome back to another unfiltered episode of the Yerrr Sports Show. Today, Big Baby and Queen Tay are taking over the studio to break down the massive news of LeBron James heading to the Philadelphia 76ers and the chaotic state of modern dating. From championship contenders to the pitfalls of social media romance, we are covering it all with no holds barred.

LeBron James is now a Philadelphia 76er and we have a pretty spirited debate about LeBron and his career moves… :30- Who is the talk of camp in Hugh's mind? Apparently Jason Myers is top of mind… Yes, let's talk about the kicking game. :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Seattle Seahawks are back in training camp and, as a bonus, we don't have any offseason drama to clean up before we get to the actual football. Cooper Kupp is making one-handed grabs that make you wonder what he has left to prove, Mike Macdonald is quoting Michael Jordan and the '91 Bulls to a locker room that's still mostly intact from a championship roster, and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is getting some high praise from his head coach. We discuss why Devon Witherspoon still not having an extension could be a concern, and we get into why it may be better to get Sam Darnold locked up long term now rather than waiting.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

After a lighthearted debate ranking cups, from the NBA Cup to protective athletic cups, Lima and Daryl Ruiter open the phone lines and take calls squarely blaming Koby Altman's front office decisions rather than LeBron himself. One caller argues LeBron was always chasing Michael Jordan's legacy rather than a title, meaning only a historic championship drought like Philadelphia's 43 years could lure him, not Cleveland's 2016 win. The hosts add their own detail, recalling a golf outing weeks earlier where someone close to Mike Gansey insisted the Philly rumors were dead, even as the deal was quietly coming together.

The guys debate LeBron James' potential move to the Philadelphia 76ers and how his history of team stacking affects his legacy compared to Michael Jordan. They address the misleading USA Today headline regarding Caitlin Clark's absence from the WNBA All-Star events. The discussion also covers the pressure on Steve Sarkisian at Texas and Tom Herman's new analyst role at Florida State.

Send us Fan MailThe conversation starts loud and stays unpredictable: we bring in two guests, immediately start clowning each other, and somehow turn it into a real hang where sports, tech, money, and relationships all collide. If you've ever wanted a comedy podcast that feels like a living room debate with zero script and maximum opinions, this one delivers.We kick things off with World Cup aftermath and why MLS can be way more entertaining than people admit, especially once you notice how global the rosters really are. From there we slide into football season energy and the kind of hot takes you only get when friends talk over each other. Then the sports talk goes full classic with LeBron James versus Michael Jordan, what people mean by “killer instinct,” and why the GOAT debate never actually ends.After that, the mood shifts into tech and culture as we question AI music, rumors about Spotify pushing AI artists, and the strange new market for personalized AI songs. We also get into money mistakes and the warning signs of multi-level marketing and Ponzi scheme setups, because a “guaranteed return” sounds great until it doesn't. To finish it off, we lighten it up with car reliability debates (Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, and more), friend loyalty stories, and even movie plans including the hunt for a real 70mm IMAX showing.If you like messy, funny, honest conversations with big swings from topic to topic, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 24, 2026. We open with California's mail-in ballot system — and the 150,000 ballots rejected in the June primary as invalid. Out of 8.5 million ballots returned, nearly 94,000 arrived too late and another 50,000 failed signature verification. We connect it to the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held second place in ballots received before Election Day — and then mysteriously dropped to third as post-Election Day ballots arrived and a democratic socialist surged from third to first. We explain why California's system — which mails ballots to every registered voter, accepts them up to seven days after Election Day, and allows signature corrections after the fact — is designed for maximum permissiveness rather than maximum integrity. We also note that the pressure from Trump's DOJ is producing results: states are now publicly acknowledging ballot problems they would have quietly buried before. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump issued new tariffs on 60 countries — including Canada, Mexico, the UK, and EU members — based on a new legal justification targeting forced labor in supply chains, after the Supreme Court struck down his prior tariff authority earlier this year. Then four Somali immigrants in Minnesota pled guilty to defrauding Medicaid out of millions by using AI to fabricate patient notes for medical visits that never happened, billing the government for fictional services through a fake company called Brilliant Minds Services LLC. And the Democratic Party announced its 2028 primary schedule — placing South Carolina first because of its higher proportion of Black voters, a state Democrats haven't won in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. We call it what it is: racial politics dressed up as party reform. We also cover the man who disguised himself as a police officer and murdered Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband in a politically motivated attack — sentenced this week to life in prison. We say plainly: political violence cannot be given an inch, regardless of who commits it or who the targets are. What happens in Mexico — where candidates are killed and hung from bridges — cannot be allowed to happen here. We dig deep into a congressional reform proposal with two straightforward components that somehow don't already exist. First, ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with congressional staffers — including colleagues' staffers, not just their own. Second, require FBI background checks for all House employees within 30 days of starting work, plus a foreign influence disclosure form requiring staffers to reveal any contracts or payments from foreign governments within the past three years. We explain why both of these are urgent: active investigations currently implicate congressional staffers as potential agents of Qatar, China, and Cuba — multiple cases involving China and Cuba alone. Congressional staffers write the bills, negotiate in back rooms, and exercise enormous real power. We should know who they are and who is paying them. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson revisit the question of how to find couple friends — and arrive at the same beautiful, frustrating conclusion they always do. Couple friendship is seasonal, it's fragile, it's devastated by divorce, and it is almost impossible to manufacture. The best couple friends come through your children's sports, through shared seasons of life, and occasionally through the miraculous coincidence of your children marrying each other's best friends' children. Guys don't have friends — they have wives. And their wives have friends. And those friends have husbands. That's the whole system. We also cover LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers — and President Trump's answer when asked in the Oval Office whether LeBron or Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Trump said he only likes people who like him, and therefore: Michael Jordan, all the way. We agree with the conclusion if not necessarily the methodology. We also discuss John Fetterman's midterm strategy advice for Democrats — delivered in his signature style: don't be weird, don't be communist, don't be weirdo socialist, don't praise Mao, and don't do crazy stuff. We call it the most useful political advice any Democrat has given their party in years, and note that it will almost certainly be ignored. Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Mamdani admitted he lacks authority to invade Poland, whether the EU makes more fining U.S. tech companies than taxing its own, whether right-wing extremists in the UK were arrested for planning to disrupt Muslim events, whether a Minnesota woman was convicted of saying a slur to a Somali man accused of rape who was never prosecuted, whether Ben Franklin performed electroshock experiments on slaves, whether the Smithsonian put that in a museum exhibit, whether Trump announced a third-term run, whether a New York school district hired a robot teacher, and whether the Obama Presidential Library stiffed its plumber out of nearly $4 million. Sophie Cunningham's shoes sold out in under 24 hours. We couldn't get any for prizes. For our Bright Spot, Paul Jackson was driving on I-5 near Seattle when he spotted an SUV drifting across three lanes with an unconscious driver and a terrified child in the back seat. He pulled alongside the out-of-control vehicle, wedged it against the concrete barrier, brought both cars to a stop, jumped out, put the SUV in park, and stayed with the woman and child until emergency services arrived. Quick thinking, steady hands, and the willingness to act. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

During the 2pm hour of today's show Chuck & Chernoff talked about blunt rolling classes, Michael Jordan, LeBron James and more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd delivers a masterclass on the single most underappreciated force in presidential politics: the primary calendar, which he argues reveals exactly what kind of nominee a party actually wants long before a single vote is cast. He explains that the Democratic decision to put South Carolina first is by design a test of Black support and viability in the South — and one that's deliberately engineered to hurt progressives, who have consistently gotten thumped in South Carolina primaries. He believes that Democrats have badly underinvested in South Carolina and Mississippi, meaning a little TLC could plausibly turn South Carolina into a genuine swing state. The calendar's practical effect, he argues, is that it sets up well for Wes Moore (if he runs) and is nearly as favorable for Pete Buttigieg, while raising the stakes for Kamala Harris to the point that if she doesn't win South Carolina, she's essentially finished. He is sharp on the flaws of the rest of the early window — Nevada isn't the test Democrats claim because the culinary union shapes everything and Arizona would better measure the Latino vote, Michigan is theoretically ideal but is getting torn apart over Israel in ways that could hurt Democrats in a general, and Virginia (now the last stop before Super Tuesday) reliably serves as a bulwark for moderates because it's a center-left rather than hard-left blue state — and he lays out what the ideal calendar would look like for progressives and for MAGA respectively. He's blunt that Ken Martin's leadership of the DNC has been a major problem, questioning whether Democrats really want him refereeing the nomination fight when the party's money troubles are a reflection on Martin himself. He then turns to Trump backing down on Iran yet again — halting strikes less than 12 hours after issuing fresh threats — calling the entire Iran adventure easily the dumbest thing a president has done this century, especially now that an administration once committed to non-proliferation appears to be helping the Saudis with nuclear technology. He notes Democrats nominated Troy Jackson to replace Graham Platner, making the Maine Senate seat winnable again even as Trump has made the races in both Maine and Michigan harder, and closes with a run of telling contrasts: the White House openly bragging that it added tariffs to help big tech, data centers emerging as the top issue for voters in many states, Trump calling LeBron James a racist from the Oval Office while Obama quietly reached out to offer Caitlin Clark advice and comfort — a perfect encapsulation, He argues, of one leader who wants to divide and another trying to turn the temperature down. Then, sports business reporter John Ourand — who shares an origin story with Chuck Todd at Sports Business Daily — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deep dive into the money reshaping professional and college sports. Ourand walks through the sale of the Seattle Seahawks as a signal that the era of family-owned NFL franchises is ending, explaining how team valuations have roughly doubled in just three years thanks to new tax advantages and the simple fact that NFL ownership has become the ultimate status club for the ultra-wealthy. He and Chuck dig into whether these eye-popping valuations constitute a bubble — the NFL alone signed $110 billion in media deals over two years — and whether the sports media "middle class" could be facing a real reckoning even as streamers thrive with smaller game packages. Ourand offers a fascinating look at how leagues are navigating their relationship with the networks and production companies that broadcast them (the NFL is deliberately careful not to hurt the legacy networks it depends on), and defends the enduring value of investigative sports journalism, pointing to Pablo Torre's Clippers reporting as a reminder that nobody, including executives at ESPN, wants to be remembered as the person who killed real journalism at the network. The conversation turns to how sports and politics are increasingly colliding. Ourand contrasts Michael Jordan's studied political neutrality with the modern reality of athletes and leagues getting pulled into culture war fights whether they want to or not, noting the UFC fight at the White House pulled huge ratings and that Trump's involvement in overturning a disputed red card call may have actually boosted viewership. He praises Caitlin Clark for navigating the culture wars more gracefully than almost anyone in sports today, draws a compelling parallel between Clark and Larry Bird, and argues the WNBA under commissioner Kathy Engelbert isn't doing nearly enough to capitalize on the attention Clark has generated — in part because leagues remain skittish about race and sexuality debates they'd rather avoid entirely. Ourand closes with a detailed look at the messy economics of college sports, explaining how the biggest programs are effectively subsidizing smaller ones, why a real collective bargaining structure may eventually be inevitable, and why the sport's true power brokers could soon demand a much larger share of the revenue pie for themselves. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the ratification of the 14th amendment at a time when the idea of birthright citizenship is being called into question, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Mike Schopp and Bulldog explore the quirks of Basketball-Reference, noting that LeBron James has eleven jerseys and ten nicknames listed on his page. They compare the visibility of high school and college data for stars like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan versus other players. Finally, they discuss LeBron's move to the Philadelphia 76ers and how his age might affect the team's championship odds.

Pat McAfee and Sophie Cunningham came up through the same Midwest city — a punter and a bench player — and became stars by doing one thing: picking a side and being real. Jason Whitlock, an Indianapolis native, breaks it down. Michael Jordan built an empire on "Republicans buy sneakers too" — stay neutral, offend no one. In 1991, it was genius. In 2026, it's a losing game. In the social media era, authenticity is the only asset that can't be faked. McAfee stood by Aaron Rodgers when it was a fireable offense. Cunningham says what she believes and dares you to argue. So what happens to a can't-miss prospect like Caitlin Clark when she plays it safe? ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Four decades ago, Buies Creek – home of Campbell University – was said to be located in the "middle of nowhere." But that didn't mean you couldn't get where you wanted to go from central Harnett County where the North Carolina piedmont meets the Coastal Plain. Campbell has produced United States congressmen, Major League Baseball players, PGA Tour members, thousands of lawyers, plus doctors, teachers and more graduates who live all over the globe. How about a model who has walked the runways in Milan and New York City, an actor who works the sound stages in Los Angeles… and a tennis instructor, all rolled up in one? Frankie DelConte once guarded Michael Jordan in high school before starring on the Campbell tennis team in the early days of the program's Division one era. Now, his acting and modeling career keeps him busy on the West Coast, but he still makes time to play – and help others learn – the sport he loves. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Frankie Delconte talks with Stan Cole about growing up in Wilmington, his path to Campbell, how he transitioned from a career in sales to modeling and acting and more. Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

Grant welcomes John Browner, Beav and Eric Lambkins II for a show that opens in full revolt: Bleacher Report's top 99 NBA defenders of all time has Draymond Green at No. 10 — ahead of Kawhi, Michael Jordan and Gary Payton — and the crew is not okay. John makes the case for Dennis Rodman as the greatest defender ever, E Lamb declares war on the Kobe-at-42 slander and plants a flag for Michael Cooper as the best Laker defender of all time, and the guys decide TST needs to build its own list. Then it's the new-look Lakers: has Rob Pelinka actually transformed the roster around Luka, or is he just looking busy when the boss walks by? The panel debates Walker Kessler as the whole plan's linchpin, Matisse Thybulle as a Marcus Smart-style reclamation, Cam Carr's defensive promise, and where the Lakers land in a loaded West — including John's vow to fight anyone who doubts his Utah and Washington shockers, plus the Stephon Castle growth-spurt take that gets out of hand. In the post-show, E Lamb makes it official from the beat: the Rams are the NFC front-runner, and the Donald–Garrett front four math is undefeated. Beav refuses to pre-crown anybody, defends Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, and circles October 4 in Philly. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the post-show on X.

Bomani Jones is joined by Vinnie Goodwill from ESPN for a Time Machine Tuesday edition of The Right Time, diving deep into the history and legacy of the 1996 USA Men's Olympic Basketball Team (often called Dream Team 3). Bo and Vinnie compare the squad to the iconic 1992 Dream Team and the 1994 World Championship team, breaking down the incredible roster that featured young superstars like Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill alongside dominant big men Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, and David Robinson. They discuss why the 1996 team was a physical powerhouse that routinely blew past international competition, how the legendary 1996 free agency period loomed large over the team's tour, and why Charles Barkley managed to be the leading scorer for both the '92 and '96 Olympic runs. Later, they explore the ultimate "what if" regarding Penny Hardaway's injury-shortened prime, the madness surrounding Shaq signing with the Lakers mid-Olympics, and settle the final debate: could the 1996 roster actually beat Michael Jordan and the 1992 Dream Team? . . .

Jason Whitlock breaks down what the Lionel Messi-Lamine Yamal World Cup moment reveals about legacy, mentorship, and the scarcity mindset eating black American culture from the inside — and why Tom Brady's Logan Paul stunt falls well below the Jordan standard. Lamine Yamal — the baby Lionel Messi bathed in a 2007 charity calendar — beat Messi at the World Cup final, leading Spain past Argentina 1-0. Messi blessed his successor publicly, competed to beat him, lost gracefully, and walked away bigger than the trophy. That's the Jordan standard: You build what comes after you, even when it costs you the crown. Michael Jordan never gave LeBron James that grace. And Tom Brady? He's spending his post-retirement chasing Logan Paul's influencer lane, diluting the most powerful brand in football history for likes and relevance. Two men who inherited the Jordan standard — and only one of them honored it. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - Messi vs. Jordan: Passing the Torch 02:15 - Michael Jordan's Legacy and LeBron James 05:18 - Tom Brady's Post-Retirement Choices 10:18 - David Portnoy on Brady's “Downfall” 16:17 - Scarcity, Fame and Lasting Reverence 20:54 - Brady's Public Life After Divorce 27:32 - Protecting the Legacy of Great Athletes 33:45 - Athletes Who Improved Their Legacies in Retirement 40:22 - The WNBA's “Victimhood Olympics” 41:14 - The Sandy Brondello and Angel Reese Controversy 48:08 - The WNBA's Broader Agenda 52:56 - Caitlin Clark and the WNBA's Opportunity 1:00:02 - The WNBA Beyond Basketball 1:09:09 Caitlin Clark and Inconsistent Officiating ➢ Follow Our GUESTS https://www.youtube.com/@DreAllDay https://x.com/SteveKim323 ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.

Josh De Vaney lives in Perth, Western Australia, about as far from the center of sneaker and basketball culture as you can get, and he has quietly built one of the most complete collections of Michael Jordan toys and figurines on the planet. Not the shoes. The toys. The stuff most of us ripped open as kids and never thought about again.It started with a Christmas hoop in 1994 and turned into an eleven-year hunt that led Josh to a figurine Ohio Art says was never sold or released, a twelve-page feature in Sneaker Freaker, an unplanned meeting with Howard White at Nike, and a moment where Michael Jordan's own grandson ended up playing on a toy hoop that came out of Josh's collection.We get into all of it. Why the toys matter more than anyone realizes, how being remote became the advantage instead of the obstacle, and the very simple thing Josh does to get almost anyone to say yes. This is one of my favorite conversations we've done, and Josh says himself we only scratched the surface. Headphones on for this one.Tell someone you like their kicks today.

“Everyone wanted to sign John. We just kind of thought, if he was going to start his own thing, now would be the time.” The surf industry has a long-running kink of slapping sticky hickeys on surfers and trying to squeeze them into the shape of a brand. Perhaps less so now, with the stickers losing some of their stick. But just look at our quasi-regular co-host, Dane Reynolds, whose lack of connection to the traditional surf-brand model ultimately led to his split from Quik and the creation of his own company. Five years into the Florence experiment, Sam and Doom sit down with Ryan Hurley, co-founder and creative director of Florence, to discuss the business of building a company around John Florence, the ambition to make it something much larger than a surf brand, and also Michael Jordan. But first, the origin story. When John's contract was coming to an end, the offers were plentiful. Among them was a reported $1 million-a-year deal from Rip Curl. John could have signed with any major surf brand, accepted the full cheese platter laid out for his royalty and continued living the glamorous life of a professional surfer from yesteryear: ride for a company, appear in a few campaigns, help sell its clothes and earn millions of dollars. Instead, he started his own company. Although, as Ryan reveals in this episode, the idea wasn't really John's. It was proposed by Ryan and his brother Dan, who had already built a considerable business at Hurley under the family patriarch, Bob. John had spent most of his career riding for Bob's company. When his contract came up, the Hurley bro's saw an opportunity. Everyone wanted to sign John. Why not build something with him instead? And for that matter, why not name the whole thing after him? Which brings us to MJ. The Jordan brand is the archetype for what Ryan wants Florence to become: a premium sports brand, built around a generational athlete, and eventually expanded into something that exists beyond the athlete's original field. Jordan's playing career eventually petered out in Charlotte, a slightly sad epilogue to the Bulls era. But by then, his name had already become a global sports company. Sidenote: who is the Michael Jordan of surfing? Probably Slater, for mine. John might be LeBron. Anyway, surfing, in this conception, is the point of origin, but it ain't the final destination. Surfing leads to the ocean, the ocean to the great outdoors. And the great outdoors, theoretically, is a considerably larger market than surfing. If anyone can build that kind of bridge, Ryan believes, it is JJF. Ryan also has some fairly pointed thoughts on the current state of the surf industry. He sees the 1990s as its golden era, when surf brands were pushing design and culture forward, and the 2000s, with it's helicopters and billionaires, as a kind of silver era. The present, well. A little light on the old abundance. Strange, then, that Florence is growing. “A lot of the old ways of doing things are broken, and I think it requires new thinking to create a new future,” Ryan says. “But it takes people time to come around to new ideas.” Also included: who is more important to Florence when it comes to selling product? John or Nathan? Find out in Episode 23 of StabMic. Thanks to our partners at Red Bull, Yucca Fins, SlowTide, Devium, TurtleBox, Vaer, and Dome Dust, for making StabMic possible.

LeBron James just revealed his real GOAT — and it's not Michael Jordan. The NBA's all-time scoring leader admits he's never had a single conversation with Jordan. But Jay-Z? Every business decision, every partnership, every move is filtered through one question: "Is this going to make him proud?" Jason Whitlock and former Jay-Z mentee and NFL star Larry Johnson break down LeBron's stunning admission. This isn't just a basketball story — it's about mentorship, legacy, and what LeBron's real ambitions have always been. Jordan built a brand by becoming the standard of excellence. LeBron built a brand by following a rap mogul steeped in occult imagery. One path leads to an undisputed GOAT. The other leads to something else entirely. Jason has thoughts. ➢ Show Outline 0:00 - LeBron Names Jay-Z His “GOAT” 8:13 - The Decline of Athletes as Cultural Influencers 10:51 - Larry Johnson on Jay-Z's Business Tactics 17:14 - Larry Johnson's Roc-A-Fella Experience 25:26 - Michael Jordan vs. Jay-Z as a Mentor 31:08 - The NBA, Hip-Hop and Cultural Decline 33:32 - AI, Truth and the Holy Spirit 38:57 - Caitlin Clark and the WNBA 49:16 - Lamar Jackson's NFL Ranking 58:09 - Aaron Donald and the Rams' “Dream Team” 1:02:24 - Aaron Rodgers' “Last Rodeo” 1:05:13 - Coach JB on Lamar Jackson 1:08:57 - Lamar Jackson's Playoff Struggles 1:15:16 - Stefon Diggs and the NFL Offseason 1:21:47 - Michigan Football and College Sports Scandals 1:27:27 - Shawn King's Talking Points 1:29:01 - Top 10 Quarterback Rankings 1:34:10 - Steve Young, Joe Montana and Quarterback Legacy ➢ Follow Our GUESTS https://www.youtube.com/@DreAllDay https://www.youtube.com/@skap_attack https://www.youtube.com/@coachjb  https://www.instagram.com/2larryjohnson7/  https://x.com/BuckyBrooks ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.
