This month, Jesse Singal’s beloved Boston Celtics won the NBA championship, and he was made happy forever. In between discussing the 2024 title and his widely hated Boston fan base, we of course talked about The Media.

Topics include but aren’t limited to…

* Jesse was at the Game 5 Finals clincha (This is how Boston people talk, right?)

* We saw Game 2 together at a Boston sports bar. Does the guilty liberal side of Jesse feel bad about joining in on anti Kyrie chants?

* Is the journalism industry doomed mostly by structural or ideological issues? (woke vs. broke)

* What’s with Jayson Tatum copying other peoples’ famous memes?

* Audience capture is like James Harden

* Is my Criticism Capture concept more explanatory than Audience Capture?

* Should Jesse have tried to talk to Bill Simmons at Game 5?

* I recommend a little place called the Grand Canyon

* Is the Grand Canyon more elite than Yosemite?!
