From Hollywood’s brightest star to hoops’ biggest legend, today’s show is packed. We kick things off with Timothée Chalamet’s generational run and how he’s defining an era of film, then pivot to LeBron’s “Second Decision” and what it means for his legacy. We even take a surprising detour into Ronald Reagan, plus dive into The Smashing Machine—the new buzzy A24 project.
On the pop culture and lifestyle front, we unpack Disney raising its theme park prices, react to the wild idea of a couple’s first kiss happening at their wedding, and ask: who on earth is Snarp?
And of course, it wouldn’t be Productive Conversations without our signature segments:
🍕 Question of the Day: What’s the best kind of pizza?
💔 SATC Questions of the Day: When you break up with someone, does it really take half the time you dated them to get over them? And what are the true rules of breaking up?
☢️ Nuclear Opinion of the Day: You’ll just have to tune in for this one.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
