Hour 1 opens with some light banter before turning serious, as LeBron James becomes the oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double and sparks a big-picture question: What happens to the league's popularity when LeBron retires? Chris Russell examines whether the NBA is prepared for life after its biggest star, while also touching on the legacy and looming retirement of Chris Paul. The discussion expands into one of the league's biggest self-inflicted issues; tanking following recent fines and what Russell calls a watered-down on-court product. A-MAC suggests Victor Wembanyama as the next global face of the NBA, but Russell counters with concerns about the league's global growth coming at the expense of U.S. popularity. The hour wraps with listeners weighing in on whether tanking and star uncertainty are pushing the NBA toward irrelevance.
No Andres this week, so it's a throwback edition of Politically Uncorrect with just Michael and Jeff holding it down. The episode kicks off with reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show before Jeff casually admits to telling jokes at work that might've crossed a few lines — and the consequences (or lack thereof) that followed.From there, the conversation takes a surprisingly analytical turn as the guys discover how “rare” they are based on certain personal metrics, which leads to the addition of a brand-new deal breaker to their growing list.With NBA All-Star Weekend looming, they question Damian Lillard's participation in the 3-point contest despite not having played a game this season. Meanwhile, off the court drama surfaces with rumors of a Stefon Diggs and Cardi B breakup.All of this unfolds while Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are actively putting belt to ass on the Lakers — much to Jeff's visible frustration.It's chaotic, nostalgic, off-topic in the best way, and exactly the kind of unfiltered back-and-forth that defined the early days of the pod.
This week, Tobin and Christen FINALLY sit down and talk with one of the best players in the NWSL – Temwa Chawinga. They go in on what it was like growing up in a small community in Malawi, where she was discouraged from playing football, to making a name for herself on an international level, winning two back-to-back NWSL Golden Boots and MVP Awards. But first, our hosts recap Tobin's experience at the FIFA Women's Champions Cup, then break down their thoughts on Victor Wembanyama's training and an athlete's experience of flow state.

Hosted by Grant Mona, today's episode brings you postgame reaction from a tough night for the Lakers and a thrilling Clippers comeback, capped with a preview of crosstown baseball rivalry action from the guys at Wings on Katella. Segment One — Lakers Postgame After Loss to Spurs & Clippers Comeback Win Reaction Grant opens the show with locker-room insights after the Lakers were overwhelmed by the San Antonio Spurs, 136–108, in a game where Victor Wembanyama scored 37 of his 40 points in the first half and San Antonio poured in 84 points before halftime — the most any team has ever scored against the Lakers in a half. The hosts discuss how L.A.'s injury-depleted lineup, missing stars like Luka Dončić, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves, struggled to keep pace despite balanced scoring from role players. Then Grant pivots to the Clippers' big comeback win in Houston, where Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points with a clutch go-ahead three-point play, leading Los Angeles to a 105–102 victory after rallying from a 15-point second-quarter deficit. Six Clippers scored in double figures as they dominated in transition and capitalized on turnovers. Segment Two — Wings on Katella: USC & UCLA Baseball Preview In segment two, Grant welcomes the crew from Wings on Katella to preview the upcoming USC and UCLA baseball seasons, including the renewal of their crosstown rivalry. The Bruins, a powerhouse pedigree program and preseason Big Ten contender, will host USC in a marquee three-game weekend series at Jackie Robinson Stadium in early April — a matchup that always carries extra weight given the schools' long shared history in college baseball. USC, a storied program with multiple College World Series appearances, and UCLA — coming off a season with deep postseason success — will both aim to use this series as a barometer for their NCAA tournament aspirations.

And the expected result happened exactly as everyone thought, as the Spurs scored the first basket and never looked back, as Victor Wembanyama scored 25 of his 40 points in a dominating first quarter for the Spurs, as they cruised over the "South Bay" Lakers 130-108.

This episode dives into one of the hottest evolving trends in sports entertainment, fan-driven traditions sparked by Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs' new post-game drum celebration that keeps fans in their seats long after the final buzzer. Jon and Rob break down how these organic, European-style supporter traditions are gaining traction in North American sports and why mascots play a critical role in amplifying the energy without stealing the spotlight. The conversation also jumps into creative promotion strategies that help teams build deeper community connections. From the Toledo Walleye's perfectly on-brand fishing jersey concepts to the Edmonton Oilers' wildly successful World of Warcraft crossover night, the guys explore how teams can tap into local identity, fan passions, and pop culture partnerships to create unforgettable experiences. Plus, they dig into idea-sharing inside the mascot and game presentation world and why “borrowing brilliance” isn't copying… it's building better fan moments. If you're looking for inspiration on how traditions start, promotions succeed, and mascots elevate both, this episode delivers a playbook full of practical and creative takeaways.

Munaf Manji talk betting for Tuesday January 20th Munaf Manji opened the Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket with a fast paced review of the NBA landscape, blending recent results with betting context and league wide developments. Detroit continued its strong season by edging Boston 104 to 103, cashing an under Manji highlighted before the game. Cade Cunningham delivered a double double with 16 points and 14 assists, while Jalen Brown scored 32 in the loss. The Pistons improved to 31 and 10, strengthened their grip on the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and moved to 18 and 4 at home, reinforcing their profile as a legitimate contender midway through the schedule. Golden State followed with a 135 to 112 win over Miami in a game that featured the pace and scoring Manji anticipated. The Warriors poured in 70 first half points and finished with 247 combined points, easily clearing the total. Stephen Curry posted 19 points and 11 assists, but the night turned somber when Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The injury halted a strong stretch in which Golden State had won four straight and seven of ten, raising immediate questions about roster direction and how the front office may respond with one of its top players facing a long recovery at age 37. Around the league, Phoenix beat Brooklyn 126 to 117, Philadelphia handled Indiana 113 to 104 behind Tyrese Maxey's 29 points, eight assists, and eight steals, and Dallas dominated New York at Madison Square Garden. Oklahoma City delivered a statement performance in Cleveland, winning 136 to 104 after a decisive fourth quarter surge, while Milwaukee edged Atlanta on the road. The episode also covered the announcement of NBA All Star starters. The Western Conference lineup featured Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Stephen Curry, and Victor Wembanyama. The East was led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brown. Manji noted the voting breakdown, with fan votes accounting for half the total and players and media splitting the rest, and pointed out that LeBron James will miss an All Star start for the first time since his rookie season. The discussion set the stage for upcoming betting angles and deeper breakdowns later in the week, while keeping focus on actionable information tied directly to current form, injuries, and market performance.
