Fifty! Ya, we said it - we've reached it! 50 Episodes in the books and for our 50th Episode we are joined by none other than the man they all call: Swish; JR Smith! Although he has dropped by a few times prior, it was time he got his very own episode. PSA: he was wearing a shirt -- let's make that clear. But from light hearted in depth talks about his love for raising his 3 beautiful daughters, to life on the course (who his number 1 option would be as his caddy), diaper dandies & when was his first tattoo - to how many he has the conversation didn't stop. Swish even took the opportunity to express his thoughts about his recent tweet: I stand with Jemelle to what went thru his competitive mind of being moved from the starting line-up to 6th man. Like his 3 ball, his personality: it's golden.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

'The Money Fight' was where it was at... was where Dr. J was at! So of course when the opportunity came to catch a quick flight to Vegas, we didn't pass it up. Thanks to the magic of technology, RJ was there as well! Dr. J & the RT crew dove into it all as we gathered at Total Wine & More for some spirits & stories. From Dr. J's days in the league, to time on the green now - from advice he'd give Richard about "life after hoops," to his take on "Trust the Process" in Philly & who he would claim as two of his biggest mentors, those who have been so instrumental in his life... Dr. J spoke & we listened (and now, so can you). A legend, always!! #DrJAutobiography  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

#FBF to Cavs vs Hawks in April, an episode we have had in the bank ever since. During a respected yet short stint w/ the Wine & Gold we had a chance to get a few minutes w/ big man Larry Sanders. With this opportunity came a chance for us to get to know Larry on a more personal level: his creative mind, his future visions in the workplace ... he's a gamer (did you know?)! One thing is for certain however - as many have heard his story when it comes to the hardwood - Larry gives his honest truth here on RT (at that time). What was life like during his first run in The NBA, his time away from the game & the journey to come back. The appreciation & utmost respect from us to Larry will always stand - his story & time we spent, valued. So in light of a little #FBF we toss it back to the time spent w/ "Man Man". (Yes, beer pong to the MAX becomes a full blown topic)  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode the Cavs have just landed in Toronto after taking a 2-0 series lead in the ECS. Right off the bus, they got together to podcast for the first time since the IND series & thank God, because they had plenty to talk about. First 15 minutes was the RT crew along w/ Channing's good friend Kenan who dropped by (who is his GF?) as they broke down the ECS series early. Kyrie then dropped by for the next hour. Uncle Drew talked about his relationship w/ his father along with the LaVar & Lonzo Ball relationship, the crew enjoyed some yummy Canadian eats (sorry for trying to multi-task), continued to breakdown the playoffs as well as what life after hoops/careers would look like. BIG QUESTION THO: Will Kyrie be the Lauryn Hill of the NBA? Will he just decide to stop doing this before he turns 30 like that of Lauryn Hill who hasn't released a new album since winning 5 Grammy's. Only time will tell!  Learn more about your ad choices.

The crew is back together again in #TheLand and there was no better to welcome us "home" than spending time w/ 2 guys from one of the hottest teams in baseball! From the outfield at Progressive Field following the Indians 100th WIN on the season, Indians Manager Tito Francona and Sports Time Ohio field reporter Andre Knott join us to talk everything under the sun (literally). Given Tito is an AZ Wildcat Alum like RJ & Channing, life in Tucson was a big hit. Did y'all know Tito managed Michael Jordan in the Minors?? If not, you soon will and the stories are endless - from MJ's competitive nature crossing between the hardwood & the field, a relationship between Tito and he didn't end after his time w/ the Birmingham Barons (ha)! Andre went on to open the doors to some insights on the Indians currently w/ Tito managing - what fans don't always get to see, hear and know ... like the best part about the 22 game win streak - didn't really come during the streak. Cray - we agree! So much gold here - and the best part is yet to come. Less than one week and post season for the Indians begins and we feel this is a lighthearted way to get you ready! #Winning  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
