What happens when the justice system locks up the wrong man - and leaves the right one walking free? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert King joins Adam to talk about Bone Valley Season 2, the shocking true-crime series following the decades-long case of Leo Schofield. Convicted of murdering his wife in 1987, Leo still sits behind bars, even after another man, Jeremy Scott, confessed. Gilbert opens up about the emotional weight of investigating this case for over six years, why Season 2 turns the focus to a killer haunted by his past, and how telling stories like these isn’t just journalism, it’s justice. This conversation goes deeper than headlines and hits harder than courtroom drama.

Today’s Interview: What does it mean to build a dynasty…and what does it cost to keep one? On today’s Up+Adam, Adam chats with former ESPN NBA reporter and Dub Dynasty host Israel Gutierrez to unpack the real story behind the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, we talk Steph, Draymond, Kerr, and Durant, buuuuut this convo isn’t just for the basketball heads. It’s for anyone who’s ever been curious about what makes greatness stick.
Even if you haven’t caught a single game this postseason (same), this is one of those stories that cuts deeper than sports. It’s about culture, ego, evolution—and how a franchise known for splash plays quietly became a masterclass in leadership and loyalty. We also dig into LeBron’s late-stage legacy, Luka’s rise, and yes… the weirdest legal take you’ll ever hear about free throws.
