  • Episode 97 - World Cup Buzz, NBA Pain, SpaceX Hype & Summer Movies
    Jun 13 2026

    This week JD & Len kick things off with the World Cup and the growing excitement around soccer’s place in the American sports conversation. From there, they move into the NBA playoffs, including the Spurs blowing a huge lead and how quickly momentum can shift a game, a series, and a fanbase’s confidence.

    The conversation then turns to the recent SpaceX stock valuation and the emotional nature of the stock market, where hype, fear, momentum, and headlines often seem to matter more than logic. JD & Len also look ahead at the upcoming summer movie slate and debate whether any of these movies are actually worth going to the theater for anymore. Finally, they close with another round of This Week in the 80s Quiz, testing their memory of the decade that shaped them.
