Coco Crisp joins Matt and Chris Young for a conversation with one of the most versatile and underrated center fielders of his generation. The 2007 World Series champion played 15 seasons across Cleveland, Boston, Oakland, and Kansas City and his journey to get there was anything but straightforward.

Coco opens up about growing up in Inglewood during the 90s and how a near-robbery involving his father and a stray hubcap became the moment that changed his family's life forever. He talks about his career progression, starting as a shortstop, moving to the outfield and becoming one of the premier defenders of his era.

He dives deep into his time in Boston, explaining what it was like to step in and fill Johnny Damon's place. He retells the story of his all out brawl with James Shields and the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008. Finally, Coco recalls his time in Oakland and the end of his career in Cleveland where he fell just short of a World Series Championship in his final MLB game.

We've been working on this one for a while: we got 44 on ALL THE SMOKE. With the Obama Presidential Center freshly opened in Chicago, Matt & Stak got a real sit down with Barack Obama himself. We got into the origin story behind Home Court, the basketball facility he built right into the Center and what hoops meant to him growing up without his father in the house, idolizing Walt Frazier and Dr. J from a TV screen in Hawaii. We also broke down the Knicks' championship run with him, from Brunson's heart to why he's officially crowning him the king of New York, and got his honest take on a divided America. Plus, Obama opened up on what he misses most since leaving the White House and how he's spending his time now mentoring the next generation of leaders.
