Late collapse against the Clippers on Wednesday notwithstanding...the Warriors suddenly look pretty good. Given the recent vibe shift, I figured I’d ring up Light Years co-host Saam Esfandiari to discuss the Draymond-fueled run of good play plus a variety of other topics in media. Discussion includes but is not limited to...

Which hurt Bay Area fans more: The 2024 Super Bowl loss, or the Warriors losing Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals?

Draymond Green, the man you cannot quit

Reflecting on Draymond’s career and how so many expected him to be washed up by now

What’s with this report about the Warriors exploring a LeBron trade?

Pat McAfee vs. Bill Simmons feud and why Youtube can’t work on television

Has Youtube overtaken television?

Is this actually a bad time for aspiring sports media creators? Or are there more opportunities?

HoS: Ashlee Vance on Uncovered Roman Scrolls

We love having Ashlee on because he’s always covering a fascinating topic. Today it’s how AI is being used to decipher ancient Roman scrolls that were damaged by the Vesuvius eruption. Thanks to the technology of the future, we might be on the precipice of learning about the mysterious past. What knowledge might we gain here? Why is the Catholic Church perhaps worried about the implications? And what’s with the meme of dudes obsessing over ancient Rome? We discuss all this, plus how Ashlee feels about the Apple Vision Pro goggles (And Apple in general). Enjoy!

HoS: Wosny Lambre

This one is a lot of politics/culture, so pure sports lovers be forewarned. We also had to paywall it for standard Wos reasons.

Personally, I believed this to be a very fruitful conversation with HoS favorite Big Wos. We agreed, disagreed, and eventually got to common ground on what the House of Strauss foreign policy should be. Topics include but aren’t limited to...

What’s wrong with ESPN’s coverage of the tragic shooting in Kansas City?

What specific gun law do journalists reacting to these incidents want?

Jon Stewart’s Daily Show return

Stewart’s comments about Biden’s decline and reaction in media

Does Biden at the top mean the status quo is strong right now or weak? Wos says “strong,” I say “weak.”

Tucker Carlson’s post-Fox decline in influence

Tucker in Russia

Wos wasn’t aware of the “Fidel is Trudeau’s dad” conspiracy theory

Is that conspiracy more or less believable than Frank Sinatra as Ronan Farrow’s father?
