·1 hr 1 min·5 clips

Dan Lust predicted Jake Paul would win the Tyson fight and suggests it might have been rigged, citing 110 million Netflix viewers.

The episode begins with the hosts introducing themselves and previewing the topics: the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight lawsuits, the Warner Bros. and NBA settlement, the New York Knicks' tampering investigation, and NIL-related stories. Dan Lust opens the Paul-Tyson discussion by revealing his prediction that Jake Paul would win and that the fight might be rigged, citing Netflix viewership of 110 million and record betting handles. The hosts debate the legal angles, including potential class-action lawsuits from ticket buyers and pay-per-view purchasers, comparing it to past cases like the Patriots' sign-stealing and Astros' cheating scandals. They mention two existing lawsuits against Netflix for streaming issues and speculate on more filings. The conversation shifts to the Warner Bros. and NBA settlement, explaining that Inside the NBA will move to ESPN while Warner Bros. gains Big 12 football rights and $350 million in advertising support. The hosts analyze the Knicks' situation, where the NBA is investigating whether Rick Brunson's promotion was used to funnel extra compensation to his son Jalen, with the Knicks calling it harassment. In the NIL segment, they cover the Temple basketball point-shaving investigation involving player Hysier Miller, Bryce Underwood flipping his commitment from LSU to Michigan, and UCF bringing NIL operations in-house. The episode ends with light-hearted segments, including a review of the movie Old School and recommendations for sports documentaries.
