Description

This week Andre & Evan revisit the pro-am circuit as Chet Holmgren injures his foot and has to sit out the entire season. Should the league step in to regulate players' ability to participate? (1:00) With the NFL season just around the corner, the guys discuss how awkward the 49ers locker room will feel after the team restructures Jimmy Garroppolo's contract (10:03). Later Jay-Z's latest verse on DJ Khaled's new album is so exceptional that it deserves its own segment... You don't think it was that good? God Did! (17:36).

Finally, Zoom Founder and CEO Eric Yuan joins the show to discuss his career origins as well as the challenges and adjustments his company endured during the COVID-19 pandemic. Later Eric discusses how important company culture has been to Zoom, his philosophies on leadership and philanthropy and why he feels that business and sports take similar sacrifices and dedication so that your short-term pains can lead to long-term gains (31:07).
