🛸 How Marijuana Can Be a Performance-Enhancing Drug, with Matt Barnes | PTFO

If you want to trace the normalization of weed in sports and America, there is no better ambassador than NBA champion and “All The Smoke” host Matt Barnes. Taking gravity-bong rips to go full “Teen Wolf” in high school? Check. Beating drug tests in college and, uh, having a narc watch him pee — and poop! — during a test in the NBA? Yeah. Smoking with Woody Harrelson on his head coach’s balcony, during the playoffs? Really. But the NBA came late to the cannabis party, as “more than half the league… from the superstars to the rookies” got caught in pro basketball’s race-baiting, steroid-fearing war on drugs. In a new era of acceptance, marijuana might just help hoopers stop the next Kobe.


🎱 Free Chicken? Sixers Win? Sacre Bleu! | Oddball w/ Amin & Charlotte

Jimmy Butler playing with an injured MCL for three quarters reminded Amin of an It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode, while Charlotte hopes her Celtics play the “Dark Lord” Erik Spoelstra without Jimmy Butler rather than the Sixers. Charlotte also thinks the Bulls are in the same category as a sneaky good team that could make a run in the playoffs. Later, we head to France to celebrate the great performances from international NBA players. Charlotte and Amin end the show with a new segment called One on One, where they discussed Boban Marjanović earning fans free chicken by missing free throws, Victor Wembanyama’s new Nike shoes designed by AI, and the unearthed video made by the Knicks to recruit Lebron James featuring the final Sopranos reunion ever.

🛸 The Anti-4/20 4/20 Episode, with a Stoned Katie Nolan and a Very Much Not-Stoned Dan Soder | PTFO

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.
