This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.

Clifford Taylor IV 1:45
A win is a win. I don't care what y'all say. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to The Clifford Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right with Nick Wright. The best takes and moments from this week on the show. Enjoy. So he says, I'm pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger. Do you think the consensus will ever shift to saying finals losses are better than early exits? For some, they will... Because their favorite player, and for some folks, it's media folks who have based a huge amount of their career over their relationship or deification of Jordan.
Nick Wright 3:02
They will try to argue that 6-0 in the finals is this hallowed ground. And I'm not minimizing 6-0 in the finals at all. without following any of the logical threads of it that what lebron and anyone with a brain is saying is to be clear if we use the jordan example are you actually arguing that if when michael jordan came back from baseball instead of losing in round two to the Orlando Magic, he had beaten them, won the next round, and made the finals, that would have been bad for him. Winning that series against Orlando would have actually been bad for his legacy. That, of course, is... utterly ridiculous, and nobody actually believes it. You just can't convince me that anybody actually thinks winning a round is bad for you.
Nick Wright 4:29
That you shouldn't want to do it. And that if Michael Jordan, when he went to the Wizards, somehow... dragged them to the playoffs, got them all the way to the finals, only to lose to Shaq and Kobe. And now all of a sudden, instead of being 6-0 in the finals, he's 6-1 in the finals. That hurts his legacy. Or, to take Jordan out of it, and we just use LeBron, LeBron has four championships, four finals MVPs. If folks are trying to argue that in 2018, when en route to the NBA Finals, he had seven 40-point games, two walk-off buzzer beaters, two Game 7 victories.
