Description

This week, Jay is in mixtape mode, pulling together three of his favorite conversations on The Limits. With The Breakfast Club losing co-host Angela Yee to do her own show, Charlamagne tha God shows what it means to be proud of longtime colleagues as they move on to other things. He talked to Jay about his own journey of education and discipline, from jail to finding his voice on the mic as a now-legendary interviewer. Next, with the NFL pre-season underway, Jay revisits his conversation with Brian Flores. He's the former Miami Dolphins head coach who believes he was fired for refusing to lose games on purpose. Flores is suing three NFL franchises and the league itself, alleging racial bias and discrimination in hiring practices. He's committed to exposing the truth of what went down and underscoring the importance of how much representation matters, especially in leadership.And speaking of coaches who stand by their principles, Jay closes out the mixtape with his conversation with Mike Krzyzewski, legendary former head coach of Duke Men's Basketball. "Coach K" guided Jay to a national championship back in 2001 and would win five in total. He also coached the U.S. men's team to multiple Olympic gold medals. He discusses his toughest moments in his career, and what he's enjoying in his first year of retirement. Follow Jay on Instagram and Twitter. Email us at thelimits@npr.org.
