Show notes

(01:08) - Former Ole Miss star and first-round pick, Michael Oher revealed in court documents that unlike the narrative pushed in the movie and real life, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy did not adopt him. Instead, they tricked the then-18-year-old Oher into signing a conservatorship that allowed the Tuohys to negotiate deals on his behalf. (03:33) Golic says there should be receipts to validate everything Michael Oher claims, especially his receiving zero dollars for the success of “The Blind Side” while ‘his family’ saw a cut from the film.

Ja’Marr talks with Gojo and Golic about partnering with his former teammate Justin Jefferson for a commercial, following his NFL career from afar, and borrowing from each other’s game. (26:30) Gojo asks Chase how Joe Burrow’s calf has been recovering and the evolution of Burrow’s game from college to the NFL. Ja’Marr Chase talks about what this team has done for Bengals fans in Cincinnati, what goals he’s set out for himself this season, and his ongoing war of worlds with Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. (33:00) Ja’Marr ends his time with Gojo and Golic talking about the woes of training camp, the Bengals’ newest DBs, and a fun fact about Cincinnati Head Coach Zac Taylor.

(19:43) - After hearing James Harden call, Gojo and Golic discuss the “burn book protocol” the Sixers star unleashed on Daryl Morey.

(01:20) - Gojo demands a documentary highlighting Taylor Swift, her band, and dancers' recovery regiment after he got fatigued just watching them for 3 hours: “It swallows you whole.” Charlotte doubles down saying outside of an important LIVE sporting event, there’s nothing to compare the Taylor Swift concert experience.
