Four NBA Media Meltdowns, Oscar Season for Democrats, and a Great Editor’s “Only in Journalism”

Tim Walz is making the media rounds, leading The Ringer’s Bryan Curtis and David Shoemaker to ask whether the Minnesota governor or Stephen A. Smith is more likely to run for president in 2028 (00:00). Then, the guys get into a series of media meltdowns, including the ongoing beef between Stephen A. and LeBron James (13:00), Charles Barkley vs. Kendrick Perkins (26:12), Draymond Green’s shameless self-promotion (35:08), Mark Cuban’s thoughts on the Luka Doncic trade (40:57), and more.

Plus, the Overworked Twitter Joke of the Week, and Shoemaker Guesses the Strained-Pun Headline.
