TCU's Sonny Dykes grew up the son of a coaching legend, but forged his own path through high school classrooms, scraping by in a dorm room at Navarro Junior College and the ups and downs that would make anyone question their path. In this episode, Coach Dykes opens up about the circuitous route that led him to one of college football's most coveted jobs - including what Mike Leach taught him about forging your own path, why he and his wife made a decision at Louisiana Tech that transcended football, and how leading the Horned Frogs to the College Football Playoff's National Championship Game only made him hungry for more.

It feels like Kevin Frazier has done it all — ESPN SportsCenter, Entertainment Tonight host, and much, much more. He's easily one of the smoothest broadcasters around - and one of the most versatile. But behind the Emmy-winner's polished delivery is a guy who grew up charting offenses on his dad's basketball bench, raced out of TV shoots to catch his son's playoff games, and still credits the grind for helping him work his way up a very tall TV ladder.

In our conversation, Kevin talks about what separates broadcasters and storytellers, how grateful he is for the many pinch-me moments in his career, and why family is the foundation of it all.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett isn't one to back down from a fight.

She called out a witness in a congressional hearing for not understanding how witnesses work. She's running for U.S. Senate in a state where no Democrat has won statewide since the 1990s. And she wakes up some mornings and asks herself, "Girl, what were you thinking?"

That's Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett - Texas representative, civil rights attorney, and one of the most unfiltered voices in American politics right now. In this conversation, we skip the policy talking points and go deeper: how a math-and-science kid from Dallas ended up in Congress, what her preacher-teacher dad and federal government mom built in her, why she describes running for office as a necessary evil — emphasis on both words — and what she actually believes it'll take to flip a Senate seat in Texas. Win or lose, one thing came through clearly in this conversation: Jasmine Crockett is on the move.
