This is an iHeart Podcast, guaranteed human. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist, Dr. Steve Poulter, to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're gonna stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally.
And I'm Hari Kundabolu.
It's a new year, and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.
Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health Stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Della Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal. This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release. If you're looking for clarity, connection, and healthier ways to show up in your life, Sacred Lessons is here for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Della Rocha on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A man with Down syndrome tries the impossible, the grand slam in turkey hunting. Four 53 hits, we're legal shooting light.
And he gives us this one last test. Ow! And he pitches off. And when he pitches off, he flies right into the gun barrel. I said to the cameraman, do you have him? He said, shoot him. I said, Justin, shoot. You can download this episode and others from Lines and Tines with Spencer Graves on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks Podcast presented by FanDuel. It's Tuesday, January 13th, 2026. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tass Mellis. Basketball fans, this is definitely for you. Next to him, it's my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Ayo. Ayo. And over yonder, making the magic happen, super producer, JD. Hello. There he is. Here we are. Hello to everybody on YouTube. Hello, podcast listeners. Slop season is upon us. So now is the perfect time for our next guest. You've read his words at Hoops Hype. You heard his voice on the Hoops Hype podcast. He's a senior NBA insider who's covered the league for a very long time. It's Michael Scotto. What's up, Michael?
Hey, good morning, fellas. First time, long time on my end. How's everything going? I couldn't believe that this is the first time we've had Michael Scotto on No Dunks. It's great. We're excited to have you. I don't want to waste any of your time because you could get a call and a trade happens here live this morning for all we know. So let's jump into it. I want to start with Anthony Davis because I got to know now that he has this hand injury. What's his status with the Mavericks possibly trying to move Anthony Davis? Is that off the table for now as we get closer to the deadline? Well, he's supposed to be going for a second opinion now sometime today, so we'll see. But, I mean, big picture, it definitely hurts his market.
You know, already there was... a limited number of teams that were really interested in trying to get him. The injury's not helping. I thought their best shot at getting something done would have been with Atlanta. You know, Toronto had also called and whatnot, but... You know, Atlanta had the expiring contracts that they're looking for and guys like Chris Stapps, Borzingas and Luke Kennard. You know, Dallas would have liked to get Zachary Reese to Shay and the New Orleans first round pick that Atlanta has.
