This episode features an interview with the director of The Lizzie McGuire movie, Jim Fall. It's hard to believe that this week marks the 20th anniversary of The Lizzie McGuire Movie, the first Disney Channel Movie released in theatres and a hallmark of the early 2000s, but with this interview, you'll get to relive the magic and find out some new and interesting stories like what a potential sequel could have looked like, why the film still has such a large impact today, life lessons from the film and Jim's career, how the film's iconic song from the double-platinum soundtrack "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of" nearly didn't make it in, how the director became attached to the movie, what it was like working with Hilary Duff, the rest of the cast and more before all your present-day sports and entertainment coverage will return next week.

This episode focuses primarily on sports as things have been wild with Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat and more NBA playoff madness, how the New York Jets trading for all-time great Quarterback Aaron Rodgers makes them Super Bowl contenders, NBA Draft Highlights including the Panthers drafting Bryce Young and how LeBron James influenced this week's powerful episode of Ted Lasso. The episode begins with highlighting Jimmy Butler's playoff heroics and putting into context how historically great the Miami Heat's series victory over the Milwaukee Bucks was before previewing the second-round matchups and how far I predict each team to go. Next, I mention all the draft highlights including Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Jordan Addison, my thoughts on what each player needs to do to be successful and more. For the final sports topic on a big episode, I break down how the Jets' trade for Aaron Rodgers affects the rest of the AFC East and how this trade solidifies an already-solid Jets roster into Super Bowl contenders. Last but not least, for the shorter-than-usual entertainment portion I keep it sports-themed by discussing how LeBron's response in standing up to Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham telling him to shut up and dribble influenced Sam Obisanya having his own response to a similar scenario on this week's powerful episode of Ted Lasso.
