About this listen

🚨 Season 5 is HERE! Wise Talk is back, and we're tipping things off with a loaded season premiere — diving deep into March Madness, the NIL era, and a fiery LeBron vs. media saga that’s got the whole sports world buzzing.

SEGMENT 1: Elite Eight Preview + Sweet 16 Recap 🏀
CaBreon, Ben, and Dave open the show with a high-energy breakdown of the Sweet 16 — from Cooper Flagg’s 30-piece thriller to Michigan State and Auburn proving they belong. No Cinderellas this year? All chalk? We debate the highs and lows before breaking down the Elite Eight matchups:

  • (3) Texas Tech vs. (1) Florida

  • (2) Alabama vs. (1) Duke
    Who’s got the momentum? Who’s about to punch their Final Four ticket?

    Also, with no mid-majors in the Sweet 16 for the first time, we ask: Has NIL killed the Cinderella story? CaBreon leads a sharp debate on how the NIL and transfer era may change college hoops forever.

SEGMENT 2: LeBron vs. The Media 🔥🎤
The King is clashing with the kingdom of sports media. From Stephen A. to Windhorst, LeBron’s recent public confrontations have raised serious questions about athlete-media dynamics. Are LeBron’s reactions justified, or is he crossing lines? And what does Barkley have to say? (Hint: He didn’t hold back.)

SEGMENT 3: Lightning Round ⚡️
Quick-hitter headlines to close the show:

  • Coach Prime gets PAID 💰 ($54M extension at Colorado)

  • Dame Lillard’s scary injury puts the Bucks’ playoff run in jeopardy

  • Cooper Flagg Mania & NBA tanking chatter 🚨
