Comedian Dan Soder has come a long way since the seeds-and-stems days of kitty-litter gravity bongs. After quitting drinking and cigarettes and tethering many super-high people back to Earth, he has — at least temporarily — taken a weed sabbatical, ahead of the amateur holiday for dorks. His fiancée and Pablo... not so much.

On the court, the Minnesota Timberwolves are making an astounding NBA Finals run, as Anthony Edwards becomes the next Michael Jordan before our very eyes. Behind closed doors, though, the sale of this skyrocketing franchise has devolved into civil war, as would-be owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore get betrayed by a "bumbling" and "diabolical" 83-year-old incumbent. Pablo's month-long investigation gives a rare glimpse at a soap opera within the most exclusive club of American life — one that is equal parts Game of Thrones, Succession and Fargo... and straight-up torture for Wolves super-fan Zach Harper.

PTFO - How the Billion-Dollar War to Own the Timberwolves Went Nuclear

Amin and Charlotte think players have been suspended for less than what Jamal Murray did at his recent game against the Timberwolves, where he threw a towel and ice pack on the court. The "We Want Boston" chants went silent as the Celtics beat the Cavs by 30 points, and Charlotte couldn't be happier. Amin feels the young OKC team is giving the Mavs a run for their money as they blow past them in game 1. We preview game two of the Pacers vs the Knicks, but nothing seems to be stopping Jalen Brunson when he's been this hot. We also do your favorite segment of Bet the Show, where Amin and Charlotte's favorite bet is whether someone will break MJ's 63-point record during the 2024 playoffs.

NPDS - Is the Astros dynasty over? GM says team still too good to be sellers! Japanese rookie aces and MLB's warning on "draft dodging" (Episode 1047)

The Knicks eked out a win over the Pacers, and the Nuggets are now down 2-0 against the Timberwolves as the series heads to Minnesota. Amin and Charlotte are excited about Mavericks vs Thunder, but the real question is: Is it time for the Clippers to shake up their team with some trades? The Cavs might get swept, or at least that's what Charlotte is hoping for. However, the Cavs might have something up their sleeve, and his name is Donovan Mitchell. NBA Awards are here, and the nominees are stacked with great players. Victor Wembenyana won Rookie of the Year, but should he also get votes for Defensive Player of the Year? The head coach of the Lakers, Darvin Ham, was fired, and it's safe to say Amin doesn't think JJ Reddick should take over after recently partnering with Lebron James on their podcast “Mind the Game.”
