On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back At It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins, but the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.
You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct?
I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Gillespie and Michael Marancini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

Now let's get this party started.
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Hour number two of The Herd. I'm Danny Parkins in for Colin. Normally see me on First Things First Overtime from 5 to 6 Eastern. Today... 12 to 6 Eastern. It's not a big deal. Kevin O'Connor, NBA writer of Yahoo Sports, joins me in about five minutes. This is very cool, although I got to be honest, small amount of jealousy. Working with Rachel Nichols, she has an actual NBA awards ballot. Hasn't filled it out yet. Hasn't submitted everything. It's coming up in two hours.
We're counting down. It was literally due the minute this show ends.
It's unbelievable.
And I'm on the fence on a couple things.
I can't wait to get fully in that with you. And Kevin O'Connor, I think he's already submitted, but he actually has an awards ballot. So I'm just around like actually credible people. And then it's me. But here we go. Before KOC joins us, want to take a stab at the ones. Some of them are easy and some of them are a little bit more complicated. I would give SGA the back to back MVP. It is one of the greatest guard seasons in the history of the sport, a sport that historically led more by big wings like LeBron or centers. For the best team in the league to have the best player on that team be a point guard, shooting guard hybrid, and just turn in his fourth straight 30-plus point per game season, this year the second leading scorer in the NBA, do it on 55% shooting, increasing basically every player efficiency rating, true shooting percentage, all of the advanced metrics say he's actually a little better this year than last year.
