They then tackle some headlines, including the ambiguity of the USA's involvement with the Israel–Iran War and Tucker Carlson's instantly viral interview with Ted Cruz (17:18). Later, they discuss NBA Finals Game 6 coverage, Stephen A. Smith grabbing headlines again—this time by calling out the city of Memphis—how streaming affects sports fandom, and more (38:22). Finally, they close the show by selecting the Solidarity With Stephen A. contest winners, then talk weekend recommendations (1:06:22).
