This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Joy is essential and it's also elusive. But now, there's a new and exciting way to start your journey toward a more joyful existence. Joy 101. It's a new podcast hosted by me, Hoda Kotb. If you're craving inspiration to maximize your joy, tune into these candid, uplifting, and moving on-air chats. It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag, whoever you root for.
Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? and it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fit.
It's not just a game. It's your culture.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. Listen to American Football on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Mungish Atigular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive.
What is the importance of rim protectors for the Lakers?
This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.
I'd say probably start bone smashing.
That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.

How does NIL impact college and NBA players?
Oh, great to have you in. It's hour two. Oh, I got to talk about this LeBron thing. There are a lot of things in life that are really nice and really good, but I don't need them, so I don't buy them. I don't buy everything I want. I try to buy things that I need. And I'm not a stuff guy, so right now I don't have a car. I'm good. I don't need it. There's a lot of nice cars out there. And so I would not re-sign LeBron because the Lakers don't need LeBron. They need a rim protector. More athletes. They drafted one and two elite wing defenders. And I know it's an incremental league. You can't solve all your issues. But I'm with Brian Windhorst, who says if the Lakers could sign and trade LeBron for Jarrett Allen, a very good big shot blocker rim protector for Cleveland, they would do it today.
There is a thought process out there in Los Angeles, and I think if the Cavs were interested in this, the Lakers would sit up at attention right now that they would sign and trade LeBron for Jared Allen. And I think if the Cavs were willing to do that, they could have LeBron. Obviously, LeBron would have to want to sign with the Cavs, but if your pathway to pay LeBron the money is to trade Jared Allen for him, the Lakers would kill for Jared Allen.
What are the potential benefits of a LeBron trade to Cleveland?
Kill for him. They would do that deal in 17 tenths of a second. No band needs three lead singers. Who's on drums tonight? Luka needs the ball. Austin needs the ball. LeBron needs the ball. None of them good defenders. And it's interesting because LeBron was recently with Steve Nash on his Mind the Game podcast. And he's kind of saying... What we're saying, which is what the Lakers need, he could be a roadblock to that if he stays in signs with the Lakers.
if you want to be able to wear teams down and, but also build, a lot of teams are building that stamina. You know, let's start early, let's build it up, you know, but you've got to have, you know, you've got to have that depth and you've got to have that youth and continue from the previous year, you know, to be able to add depth, to be able to add youth, continue with the pace, the pace is not slowed down.
