Dry Scalp and Wig Woes? Maximize Moisture With Keisha's Expert Tips
"The first question comes to us from a lady out in Baltimore. Her name is Maxine Baltimore Malland out here on the East Coast. So now she says her hair is very dry. This is what she writes. She is a wig wearer. That's what she put down. And her hair, she said, is braided underneath. Any steps to get moisture into her hair. Any advice is dry under the wig. What advice would you tell Maxine, Keisha? Well, the first thing I would like to know is if this is a daily wig, is the wig sewn down or is she pulling it off a mannequin head and putting it on every day? You know what? She didn't say. But are you able to address the different scenarios for us today? I can. Sure. For those who are wearing sewn down wigs or what we call tacking it down, depending on if it's the lace front or something like that, you should be able to, honestly, I'm just going to keep it real, peel your wig up in the back. Oh my. Okay. Wow. And get you, I'm just going old school. So, get some hair grease or some oil that you can put on your scalp in between those cornrows, those braids, and then pull your wig back down. Especially if it has the lace front in the front. Now, if you are a daily wig wearer where you just put it off and on, I happen to be one of those. Like a hat. Yeah. Basically, you put it on like a hat or a beanie. And so that means if she's taking it off and on every night, she's probably wearing some sort of wig cap. Take the cap off, put some oil on your scalp. I suggest if you're able to use any of the nut oil, nut -based oils like an almond oil, those are very, very good on the scalp. People tend to go for coconut oil, but coconut oil doesn't always penetrate scalp. It will sometimes just sit on it and create another barrier on the scalp, which is not helpful at all. So that would be my suggestion. And then my suggestion, if she's a daily wig wearer, take your braids down once a week and shampoo your hair and do a moisture, do a deep condition. That's important. When you're done with it, blow dry it, braid it back, and I'll braid it back down if she's able to do that herself. But that part is very important. Wow. Well, I tell you something, I am just blown away literally by this. No, I really am. That's really good advice. And it seems to me, everything that you said, there was one common common, you know, commonality, and that was that you want to add some kind of moisture in to your scalp. Oh, and drink water. Drink water. Why is that important? Because you need to moisturize from the inside out. And if you're on any type of medication or type of regimen, it's going to change the way your body receives moisture or hydrates. So if you're able to drink more water, definitely drink more water, and you should see a difference. As you moisturize from the top and, you know, hydrate from within, you should start to see a difference in your hair and in your scalp.

A highlight from 125 - Cultivating History: Exploring George Washington's Mount Vernon Garden - Dean Norton
"The Garden Question is a podcast for people that love designing, building, and growing smarter gardens that work. Listen in as we talk with successful garden designers, builders, and growers, discovering their stories along with how they think, work, and grow. This is your next step in creating a beautiful, year -round, environmentally connected, low -maintenance, and healthy, thriving outdoor space. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there will always be something inspiring when you listen to The Garden Question podcast. Hello, I'm your host, Craig McManus. Dean Norton fell in love with the Mount Vernon Estate Gardens 53 years ago and never left. After receiving a degree in horticulture from Clemson University, he began his career as the estate's boxwood gardener. The historical gardens of the first president of the United States, George Washington, became his responsibility in 1980. His promotion to horticulturalists allowed him to apply the latest plant science and horticultural management techniques for historical gardens. Dean has devoted considerable time to researching 18th century gardens and gardening practices. He has received awards for conservation from the DAR and the Garden Club of America, as well as the Garden Club of America's Elizabeth Craig Weaver Proctor National Medal. He is an honorary member of the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of Providence. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Washington College, serves on several historic property boards, and lectures nationally and internationally. This is Episode 125, Cultivating History, Exploring George Washington's Mount Vernon Garden, with Dean Norton, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 64. Dean, why did General George Washington, the first president of the United States, garden? Well, he really gardened for necessity. The earliest gardens were called gardens of necessity for health and survival. Of course, the most important plant to be planted within a garden were vegetables, something that you were going to have at the dinner table to eat. Vegetables were huge to him. Even during the Revolutionary War, he wanted to make sure that his troops were getting as many vegetables as they could whenever possible. I would not actually call him a gardener per se, but for a year and a half, he became a designer. He totally redid his country seat from a very simplistic design to one following naturalistic design principles. Then that landscape were four very fine gardens that he oversaw. What story does the Mount Vernon Garden tell? Tell us the story of a man that wanted his gardening world to be complete, I would say. He had a very small botanic garden, which he fondly called his little garden. When he was here on site, he was typically doing that work himself on his knees, planting seed and seedling saplings. He kept such good records in that little tiny garden that we were able to recreate that quite nicely. His earliest gardens were a fruit and nut garden and a kitchen garden, but when he changed his design, the kitchen garden remained as it is. The fruit and nut garden became a pleasure garden with vegetables in there as well, which is kind of an interesting combination. He had a vineyard for a while, but the grapes failed, and that became a fruit garden and nursery. The nursery was for plants that he could grow to plant on other areas of the estate and also to grow things just for collection of seed. What is today's mission for the garden? Today's mission for the garden is interpretation. We are trying to share with our visitors what life was like in the 18th century, why these gardens were important. Certainly after 1785, the gardens took on a new role, which was for people to come when he had created here at Mount Vernon. The story of gardeners themselves, the gardeners that Washington hired through the Articles of Indenture, also the enslaved gardeners that worked with the professional gardener to cultivate till to harvest. It's a great story. It's one that we thoroughly enjoy telling. Gardening really hasn't changed much from the 18th century, so the more we're out there digging in the earth, we think of those gardeners from the past. Today's visitors, how do they respond? I'll tell you what, when they come through the gates and they get to the Bowling Green Gate and see the house for the first time, that's exactly what they were expecting to see, this beautiful house that Washington lived in. But then the further they go into the landscape, they're really totally blown away by the amount of landscape and gardens that Washington had. They weren't expecting that at all. I think the gardens are well received, and I think that the stories we tell throughout the estate in so many different areas are certainly appreciated by our visitors. The garden's been there for about two and a half centuries. You've told us that there's four gardens that make up the Mount Vernon Garden. Could we walk through each one of those and you tell us about them? Sure. The panic garden is a simple garden, very small. It was intended to plant things that Washington was not familiar with, although sometimes other things that he knew quite well ended up in there as well. He received 500 Chinese seed, which he planted in one of the beds. None of them came up. So actually, we could show one of the beds with nothing but bare dirt and we would be exactly correct. That was his playground, and he truly loved getting plants he wasn't familiar with and planting them in there, and he did most of the work in there himself. There was an area that he started a vineyard, hoping to get some grapes for making wine, but that failed. That four -acre area became a fruit garden and nursery. Washington kept such good records that the fruit trees are planted exactly as he describes in that particular enclosure. Part of it is a nursery as well, where he grew trees and shrubs, also some other grasses and things just for the collection of seed. The kitchen garden was the first garden laid out in 1760, and that has been cultivated as a kitchen garden since 1760. It's never changed in its purpose, which is the only garden like that on the estate. Both the kitchen garden and fruit nut garden were an acre in size, so that's a significant garden. The nut garden changed from a garden of necessity to a pleasure garden, and that was meant to be the aha moment. When people were strolling around the Bowling Green, they could look through that gate, they saw a beautiful conservatory. The idea was to walk in there and just enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and those flowers were there for their enjoyment and not for their use. I think his gardening world was quite complete. You said the conservatory, would that be the greenhouse? That's correct. It had a greenhouse that he copied from a lovely property called Mount Clare, just to the north of Baltimore. The owner was Margaret Carroll. He asked for permission for some information, and she was thrilled and gave him all that he needed, even his first plants for his collection, to get his greenhouse started. I started studying that greenhouse in pictures. When I think greenhouse, I think a glass top or a plastic top or something like that, and this was constructed quite different. Could you tell us about how it was constructed and it was heated? The greenhouses in the 18th century typically just had glass panes on the south side, this was southern exposure. Also typically they were triple home windows, so you could open top and bottom to allow for good air circulation. This was quite modern, very good. It had a vaulted ceiling, so hot air didn't get trapped up at the corners. It had a wood door on the west side of the structure to keep afternoon sun from coming in. It was too hot. A glass door on the east side to allow morning sun in. It had shutters that closed very tight, so in the wintertime when you got whatever heat you could get from the solar energy, you could close those shutters and retain the heat overnight. It was heated by a stove room on the opposite side of the structure. The fire pit was quite low, and that hot air and smoke would go underneath the slate floor in the greenhouse and then rise up along the back wall and out the chimney. It was very efficient. It housed the semi -tropical plants and citrus trees in the winter. Not for them to continue to fruit, so he had lemons and limes and all that. Just to keep them alive in the wintertime. In all these gardens, he's combining beauty with necessity. How did he accomplish that? The one garden that really does that beautifully is the upper garden, or pleasure garden. He wanted a pleasure garden. He wanted the aha moment when someone walked into there. It's a 10 -foot -wide path, edged in boxwood with this greenhouse at the end. He was concerned, though, in that he didn't want to lose a lot of space to the growth of vegetables, which were still the most important plant that he grew on the property. 18th century horticulture said, look, George, you can do both. Plant your vegetables and then surround them with a border of flowers. The border could be three feet, five feet, whatever you so decide. It's the border that's actually the pleasure garden. So you're really not losing that much space to growing vegetables. How did Washington change his gardens to enhance Mount Vernon's natural beauty? He adopted the naturalistic style. There are four key elements of that. The curve line is nature's gift, management of surprises, random planting, and hidden barriers. If you can do those four things, you're well on your way to a wonderful naturalistic design. The management of surprises, the curve line helps you with that. Around each bend, you can do something different. The book that he's learning all these techniques from was written by a gentleman named Batty Langley. He wrote the book in 1728 called New Principles of Gardening. Washington purchased it in 1759. Langley goes in, he says, once you've seen one quarter of your garden, you should not have seen it all. There's nothing more shocking and stiff than a regular garden. He said every garden must have good shade. If you have to walk more than 20 paces in full sun, your walk is not worth it. Washington really took all these thoughts and comments to heart and made sure he put trees on either side of his serpentine avenues. Around each bend, he added shrubberies in wilderness areas and groves. It really was a complete landscape, and it was all just trying to stay within the qualifications or the requirements of a naturalistic garden. There are many historical events that took place away from Mount Vernon. For long periods of time, Washington was gone. How did he stay in touch with his garden and its growing? Much to his demise, much to our benefit, Washington, during the 45 years he lived here at Mount Vernon, he was away for 16 years, only visiting his house a couple times during all that time. When he is away, he's communicating with the land manager with lengthy letters, three, four, five pages long, giving him instructions to do this, make sure that is done, have you planted this, I want to try to do this next. We have that exchange of letters. Gives us a tremendous advantage in being able to represent Mount Vernon as accurately as we do in today's world. You should be considered the current garden overseer, but there's been many that have come before you. Have you got any good overseer stories about your predecessors? Yeah, there's some. I'm number 37. I don't know if that number is exactly correct, but I'm honored to be the current gardener, whatever number I am. They were all pretty competent in their practices. Washington called one clever because he was so good at grafting trees. Probably one of the cutest ones is when Washington's trying to hire a gardener. He's writing to his land manager saying that the gardener should not have any children, but if he does, only one, but certainly no more than two. He just keeps going on and on, giving almost any option possible for the gardener. He was always looking for the Scottish gardener because they were some of the best. I'm thrilled to be following in the footsteps of so many great gardeners. I hope that I'm continuing their tradition of maintaining a beautiful Mount Vernon. Tell us about the people that worked in the gardens during Washington's time. He hired gardeners under the Articles of Indenture, so they would come over, he would pay their way, and they would have to work that to pay Washington back. Some of them stayed for many years. There was a German gardener named John Christian Eller who was here for a number of years. They had a bit of a falling out, but apparently after Washington passed away, he actually returned because there is something in the notes about a German gardener saying that he used to work here. There is one from Holland, England, and then of course you had your Scottish gardener at the very end of his life, which Washington said that he was dedicated, sober, passionate about his work, and that in short, he's the best hired servant I've ever had. What makes it even better is that he says he has never been happier. I think that's really wonderful, and it certainly rings true for me. For being here at Mount Vernon as long as I have, my life here as a gardener has been a very happy experience. What did the garden go through between Washington's death and until the time it was bought by its current owners? It started to fall and disappear rapidly. Visitors' accounts have been occurring since Washington lived here. People visiting, and they write in their diaries or letters to friends, which is tremendously valuable to us, for that is our Polaroid to the past. Washington died in 1799, and visitors in 1801, 1802 are saying that it's deteriorating, it doesn't look anything like it did during Washington's time, so things just started to fall apart a little bit. You didn't have the money, you didn't have the dedication maybe to do as well. Not to say that work wasn't being done and things weren't being cleaned up as best as possible, but definitely it was noticeable to visitors that it was in a bit of disarray. When the Ladies Association purchased the property in 1858, things started to change, of course, quickly. And of course, Mount Vernon is in their hands today, it's a beautiful, beautiful site. Did they buy it from the family? They bought it from John Augustine Washington, the fourth Washington that owned the property before it was sold to the ladies. It cost them $200 ,000, and with that they received 200 acres, where others said you should take everything down but the mansion, because that's all that's important. They made the decision that they wanted to keep everything that was there during Washington's time, which was absolutely the right thing to do. We have all the outbuildings. It's an amazing opportunity for visitors to come to see an estate, a plantation, as it was during the time of the owner. Are there new discoveries being made through modern archaeology and research, or do you feel like you've re -established everything there? No, there are new discoveries all the time. It's amazing. Archaeology, the science, is becoming more and more exact all the time, with radar and LiDAR flyovers and just all these wonderful techniques that they now have. We're still finding letters that we didn't have before. Eventually we may find the plan that Washington did for the Bowling Green. We have the plan's key that is in his hand, but we don't have the actual plan itself. You can never write the final chapter in this adventure that we're in here from Washington's time till now. We try to represent things as accurately as we can, but we may find a new letter or something that will totally alter our interpretation of what we were using or going on to create an area that we thought was accurate, but new information may change that, and we will go back and make those changes so that it's historically accurate. Where did Washington acquire his plants? Initially, the landscape was completed by nothing but trees and shrubs that he found in his wildernesses surrounding Mount Vernon. So it's certainly a native landscape, and he identified these plants in the wintertime by structure and bud and had them dug and brought back. He did say that he was looking for exotics. He loved plants of all sorts. Now, we don't know if an exotic to him was Mexico or South Carolina, but what we do know is he said he wanted plants outside of his geographic area. People sent him gifts of plants often. Also he ordered from three of the principal nurseries of the time, John Bartram in Philadelphia, William Hamilton in New York, and Prince on Long Island. He ordered a lot of these plants and that he was experimenting with and putting within his landscape. I heard a story about a Franklin tree. Was that ever a part of the estate? The Franklinia, I think it was actually ordered from Philadelphia, and we've tried to grow them any number of times. We can't get them to survive. They're very finicky. They need to be in a spot they're really happy with, and so far we haven't found that spot on the estate, unfortunately. What's the significance of the Bond Plan? A gentleman named Samuel Vaughan visited Mount Vernon in 1784, I think it was, or 83. He was a landscape designer. He did a good bit of work up in the Philadelphia area, actually did some work around Independence Hall. He came and visited Mount Vernon, and in his sketchbook drew the plan of the estate, and then went back to Philadelphia. We drew a beautiful big plan that was very, very accurate. Washington said that you've drawn my estate accurately except that you've enclosed the view with trees, and so the only problem that Washington states is when looking from the house down the Bowling Green, down a vista to the forest beyond, there were two willow mounds that were planted on the Bowling Green. They weren't meant to act as punctuation points. No planting would occur within that, so you had a wide open view to the west. Whatever reason, Vaughan decided to draw trees all in there. In Washington's eye, it was all correct except for that. So it's a beautiful plan, archaeologists have used it, and all the buildings that he shows on that plan are where they find them when they dig in the soil. So he was recording the existence and not proposing new things. There's been some debate about that because Vaughan was a designer, and some say, well, how do we know that this is something Washington had, or was Vaughan drawing what he thought it should be? The written account seemed to support what Vaughan was drawing was accurate. So it's all about interpretation. We could look at two passages somewhere and interpret it both totally differently. I think the Vaughan plan is amazing. I think it's as accurate as we can possibly get. You've mentioned the Bowling Green a couple of times. What grass did they use in the Bowling Green? Their grass was called goosegrass or speargrass. They also had rye, and it's even bluegrass. It was a very coarse grass. Coarse grass was kind of important, actually, because they mowed it with the English sigh, and a very fine -bladed grass would be very difficult to cut with that implement, whereas the wider -bladed grass, they could cut quite nicely if they had a good sharp edge on their sigh, and the sickle, of course, would have been the weed eater. The Bowling Green was meant for games and entertaining and would have been mowed on a regular basis, rigged, rolled, and mowed right up until you may have a drought or something where the grass would stop growing, just like we have in an experience today. What variety do you grow there now? Weeds. It's just, I'm serious. It looks great from a distance, but if you walk up on it, it's just clover and creeping Charlie, and if it's green, I'm fine. We don't want to use chemicals on the lawn. We have a lot of visitors, a lot of children running around, so it's just as natural as possible. We overseed and everything, but no, just don't look too closely. Well, that'd be more accurate to the period, I guess. You know, I don't know. It'd be interesting to see the grass back then. It was maintained in a way that it was intended for them to bowl. They had lots of games with the hoops and other things, so it was used a great deal as a green for entertaining. How do you cut it now? Oh, we have John Deere's to go 13 miles an hour. It's pretty nice. You know, front deck mowers, it's great. Is that a reel? No, my goodness, no. Years ago when I started, our only riding mower was a Toro reel. Now, nothing against Toro, okay, but that thing never worked. Poor man that was operating, he was a World War II vet, and he was always in the shop just standing here waiting for his mower to work. So no, it's not a reel. My dad had a reel mower, and he was always working on it too. My dad's way to fix anything was with a screwdriver, not to actually tighten any screws. He would just beat on it. He was so upset. You've got the serpentine pass. What materials did they use? It was a combination of gravel and clay, pea gravel, smaller grade gravel, and it was cobblestone up around the circle in front of the mansion. Washington said if he could find any alternative form of paving, he would certainly use it because gravel roads were constant maintenance of raking, rolling, adding new gravel to keep them from being muddy all the time. That's exactly what was used in the gardens as well, was a gravel type path. Is that gravel mine from the Potomac? Washington talks about a gravel pit. It would seem as if they got a lot of it from the Potomac, and they would have sifted it to get the right size stone that they wanted. I think there were a couple sources, but not real clear on it. What kind of staff does it take to maintain all this? In horticulture, my responsibility has to do with anything that deals with chlorophyll and manure. The gardeners, just like in the 18th century, they said a garden an acre in size will require one full -time gardener, and so every principal garden we have is one full -time gardener working in that spot. Then we have a swing gardener that does all the smaller gardens and helps in the other gardens as well. We have a landscape gardener that takes care of all the non -exhibition areas. It's truly bare bones. We have some summertime help, college students, some high school. College students love it. We give them as much opportunity to learn whatever they want if they want to work in the greenhouse or use equipment. It's a really great program that we have for that. Then we have our livestock crew. We have five full -time livestock employees that maintain the genetic line of three very rare breeds, and those animals are here for interpretation as well. One thing I just want to share is that Mount Vernon is a very special place. People come and they don't leave real quickly. I've got almost 53 years. Our five livestock staff combined have 92 years of service here at Mount Vernon. It's just truly amazing. Wow. What type of livestock? We have a milking red devon, beautiful reddish -brown cow, aussebal island hogs, hog island sheep, and a Narragansett turkey. So all these are on exhibition at our Pioneer Farmers site, which is a site that we created in the 1990s down near the river. That's a site where we interpret Washington the farmer. That's the livestock's playground. They get to take the animals down there, the oxen, the horses, and work the fields. So it's really very exciting. It helps bring the estate to life. Are you taking the manures and the straw and things like that and using it in compost, or how does that all work? 100 percent. That's all we use. We have huge piles that we are able to windrow with using a manure spreader. We always have these windrows, just these lines of the material that is whipped around by the manure spreader. The row is about maybe eight feet wide, ten feet wide, and it's about six feet high. The oldest windrow is used as the fertilizer used in the gardens. And once that's gone, we windrow the next row over to aerate it again. We just always have a source of compost that we can use in the gardens, and it just works out beautifully for us. How long does it typically age? It doesn't take long, really. We have a pile that's been here for so long that even stuff that is not that old, maybe three months or so, when you mix it up with the other, it turns out very, very well. In the 18th century, Washington would take manure from the stables and just put them in a dung repository for a fortnight or two. You're only talking two or four weeks, and then they thought it was readily available for the gardens. So it was much more rapid for them than it is for us. Are there any special approaches that you take to maintaining a historical garden? The approach to maintaining a historic garden really is visual. We want them to see a garden that is planted in the manner that would have been in the 18th century. We want them to see what an 18th century garden looked like. As far as our actual practices, it is really no different than what would have been going on in the 18th century. Our tools may be a little sturdier, a little nicer, rakes, shovels, soil life, and everyone has one of those on their bill. You can do anything with those. As far as planting, we're definitely concerned about height derangement more than color coordination. We want to make sure the plants we plant are appropriate to the 18th century. Paths, the box which should be trimmed, are very short. They were never intended to be a backdrop for perennials, just as a border. That's the main thing. We want it to look right. The way we take care of it, that hasn't changed for 250 years. What are your biggest challenges with the garden? People, compaction, really the damage that comes from, especially kids, I used to share that the worst pest we can have is a child that's been on a bus for five hours from somewhere, gets here and the chaperones go, go, go, and they just start running. Back when we had big boxwood, they would just go and run and jump in and break a branch of a 150 year old boxwood within 10 seconds and that's hard to control with any kind of spray or whatever. But I developed to have a hard trap that was a bit larger. I found out I put an iPad or something in there, I could catch five or six at a time and I would let them off at the West Gate. The chaperones would eventually find them, but at least we got them out of the garden.

DerrickTalk
A highlight from "So You Sue The People That Took You In When You Were Homeless ? Michael Oher Should Be Ashamed
"Welcome to another edition of Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Philemon. Let's talk about a story that is gaining a lot of attention. It's gaining a lot of traction, and I can see why. You guys probably remember the movie from 2009. It was an Oscar -winning film. It was called The Blind Side. It was a great football movie. I like football movies. I remember, I think it was Goldie Hawn. She played in the movie Wild Cats. I always loved that movie. But this particular movie was really, really good, and it was based on, a true story. This was about a rich family who basically adopted a young African -American man who was basically going through it. He was a homeless teen who was kind of being shifted through the school system and stuff like that. They basically adopted this kid, and it seemed like a great storyline. And I was like, why now in 2023 is this happening? It seems like now we're going to have to go back to the early 2000s and early 2000s and early 2000s and early 2000s. So, back in 2009, a movie was released called The Blind Side. It was the autobiographical story of a young man by the name of Michael Orr, played by Quentin, is it Aaron? Orr was a homeless black teen who was basically, he had drifted in and out of the school system for years. Then Leanne Tuohy, take in this young African -American man. They become his legal guardians. His tremendous size and protective instincts make him a formidable force on the football field. That's kind of like a synopsis of the movie, what it was about. Also with the help of his new family and devoted tutor, he realizes his potential as a student and football player. Now fast forward to 2023, Orr, a former Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers tackle, alleged in a lawsuit that he never actually was adopted by the Tuohy family, not legally, as the blockbuster movie has basically shown. Orr claims he gave away the rights to his life story to 20th Century Fox back in 2007 without any payment whatsoever, and that he was missing profits from the John Lee Hancock 2009 film, which actually grows something like $309 million at the worldwide box office. And some are calling on actress Sandra Bullock, who portrayed Leanne Tuohy in the movie, which earned her an Academy Award to actually give back her Oscar. That's kind of a newer development in the story. So to be clear, Orr is saying that he was never legally adopted by this very affluent family, but they actually tricked him into a conservatorship and pocketed royalties from the book and the film, the movie, you know, affiliated with the movie Blind Side. This conservatorship, according to Sean Tuohy and his lawyer, Randy Fishman, was designed to make Orr a part of the family and also clear his path to Ole Miss University. Now, the NCAA would not have allowed him to be eligible immediately for the Rebels without it because the Tuohys were boosters of the program. Now, Michael Orr has claimed in court papers that the Tuohys tricked him into signing over his legal authority to use his name in business deals after he turned 18. The 37 -year -old claims they used their conservatorship to make millions in royalties from the 2009 film. The family's position is that Orr is basically trying to shake them down for about 15 million. He's basically trying to extort them out of money. That's what it looks like here. Why now? The timing is a little bit off. You wait until all these years later to basically say give me 15 million or I'm gonna basically throw dirt at your name. I don't know. It just seems to me that Michael Orr is in need of money and he's actually, this family did a great thing by adopting this kid and opening doors for him, obviously. And the thing that's really crazy about this story, the Tuohy family, these guys are extremely wealthy. They were wealthy before they adopted this young African -American kid. Very wealthy people and I'm not, I didn't necessarily look into their background, but they have tons of money. Multi -millionaire socialite type of people. So to come back all these years and basically say they use my likeness, my name to basically promote and endorse business deals and that kind of thing, I don't know if I'm buying it. I don't know if I'm buying it. I'm kind of waiting because I really don't know about this story. I've read so many different things. It could be true. Maybe they did swindle this kid. Maybe they did take advantage of his size and knowing that he would be a great athlete and you know, profit off of his name. I don't know. But my opinion, Michael Orr is just looking for a payday. That's my opinion. That's what I think. I'm going to basically be keeping an ear on these developments and we will do a part two on Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Everybody have a fantastic Saturday. Take care guys.
What a Weird Week
A highlight from What a Weird Week Show: Butter Cows and Salad Frogs, Fri Aug 18 2023
"Butter Cows and Salad Frogs. This is the What a Weird Week show for Friday, August 18th, 2023. Hi, everybody. It's Weird. This is like Crazy Moon here. Really weird, weird tale. Well, I got a great show for you today. It was so wonderful. Weird stuff. Hi, friends. I'm Scott, and this is What a Weird Week, a show where every week we count down the top 10 weird stories from the news. You can like and subscribe to the podcast. You can see the show notes blog, and you can check out the YouTube channel as well. Find everything at show notes dot page, show notes dot page. This is season four, episode 47, first published Friday, August 18th, 2023. Number 10 is Sticky, Gooey World Record. The other day on National S'mores Day, the folks at S'mores -a -palooza were officially awarded a Guinness World Record for the most people s'moring at the same time. 891 people in Grapevine, Texas put graham wafers, chocolate, and toasted marshmallows together to make this record. So sticky. So delicious, but so sticky. They used 500 fire pits to do this because everybody had to do their own s'mores at the same time. If you want to see more, check the show notes. If you want to see s'more, check the show notes. Nine. Number nine is the Canadian Amateur Safe Cracker and the 75 -Year -Old Safe. This bookstore in Baltimore had an old safe without a combination. They couldn't get into it and of course they wanted to. If you have a 75 -year -old safe and you don't want to get into that thing, you might be a psychopath. Consult your physician. The bookstore put the challenge out on social media, basically paraphrasing, but hey, safe crackers, we've got a challenge for you. A fellow named Rick from Winnipeg, who is a lock picking and safe cracking enthusiast, not a professional, also not a some sort of a heisting criminal, just an enthusiast. He did some crowdfunding and had enough money to travel to Baltimore within three or four days. So Rick got to go and try what a bunch of other safe crackers tried and failed at. And he got the safe open. The deal from the bookstore was you could split whatever was inside the safe. It was a 50 -50 split. So he cracked the safe. He opened it up and it turned out the only thing in there was a pay stub from the 1920s. But I get the feeling it was never about the treasure for Rick. It was about the adventure. Here's a little bit of what Rick said on the CBC. I'm part of a safe cracking slash lock picking group, but now I'm just as it for hobbies. And as a joke, one of these guys who saw the ad on Facebook or Twitter had sent it to me and said, Hey, you should go and give this a try. Apparently a couple of dozen people have given it a try. It took me 10 hours because the lock was not cooperating properly.
The Maverick Paradox Podcast
A highlight from Every leadership problem is a teaching one
"In this episode, I speak to Jim Savusi about how every leadership problem is a teaching one. We look at the complexities of leadership, the importance of continuous learning, and the similarities between teaching and leading. We also discuss Jim's desire to start a movement to rid the world of bad bosses. I wonder, are you a boss that does leadership on the side? In this conversation, we look at the importance of being open -minded and willing to learn in order to be effective leaders. We also emphasise the significance of identifying and living by one's core values. I create clear thinking and decisive leaders who can amplify their influence. Contact me to find out how I can help you or your organisation. And today, our guest is Jim Savusi. How are you doing? I'm doing great, Judith. How are you? I'm doing fantastic, thank you. Jim, tell me, what makes you dance? What makes me dance? Well, I love music, but that doesn't make me dance. What makes me dance is when someone takes their values and applies it to what they do with their work, especially if they're in a leadership position, especially if they're a boss. It makes my heart sing when I see someone who is living their values in their authoritative position. And it comes through in everything they do, and you know what, all the people around them are dancing, their hearts are singing. I love that. I love the idea of your heart singing. Tell me a little bit more about you. Well, I spent many, many years in many leadership positions, starting when I was 12 years old, and I was in Boy Scout and thrust in the positions that were for much, much older kids. I didn't really understand what leadership was. I did a lot of different things in my life, including building sets professionally for theatre and a variety of other things as well. And eventually, though, I went after my passion, which at that time was academia. I wanted to be an English professor, so I became an English professor. Spent three decades as an English professor and also was an administrator. I was a dean and I was a vice president, so I was a provost reporting to the president and did that for a long time. When I first became a dean, what happened was I was at a small university outside of Baltimore and I was asked to become the dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I was a faculty member, but I was a faculty leader, of course, because I wasn't always in those positions. But they said, OK, we want you to be the dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. And I thought, great. Except there was no School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I had to invent it. I had to build it from scratch, which wasn't that hard. I mean, putting it together was no big deal. It was just nuts and bolts, right? Just management, putting this with that, what works together. What was hard was getting it up and running and keeping it running. And something in me shifted at that point because I realized, OK, I need something else. I've always been a leader and not a bad one, but I worked on instinct. But I needed to learn how to be a leader, how to be a better leader and how to apply that consistently. And that required me to actually start studying leadership as a discipline, start reading about it, going to conferences, going to trainings, meeting people, learning as much as I could about leadership.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Capitol Chaos, China Connections, and Censorship
"And just boil it down to the fact that they deprive the American people of real information that was reported by the New York Post. They had no right to do that. They had no right to censor that. It was the Obama deep state officials and the FBI that pressured and not even pressured that made them basically not talk about deleted and simply by that control and by censoring any conversation about the Hunter Biden laptop, they in that instance influenced the election in a way that favored one candidate over the other. And people need to go to jail for that period. Welcome everybody to the financial guys podcast. Thanks again for downloading and listening. We do appreciate it. If you can hit the like button and share, we appreciate that as well. Mike and Glenn here of course got a lot to talk to you about today as there's a lot on the, I got, I think this morning we must've fired back and forth, like I don't know, like 50 different, there's so much in the news, a lot of national stuff. So, um, you know, it's, it's, I mean, it's unreal where we are with this country as far as, you know, so video emerges from J six of officer asking about identifiers for undercover cops. I mean, this is unreal that this stuff goes nowhere. That's what's so frustrating about it. Thousand people are still indicted and jail. Some of them are in jail for years. A lot of them are in jail for years. They're still going after people. This is the largest investigation and arrest bust of ever and U and U S history for, for mainly trespassing. Just, just not to defend anything. I'm not defending what happened on January 6th. We were actually recording our radio show at the time it was happening. So we were recording in and talking about it in real time. And talking about how horrible it was that they were breaking into the doing any damage. But the damage that they did was in the millions. And there was nobody killed on January six. Nobody. Well, I shouldn't say that. Ashley Babbitt was killed, I'm sorry. And another innocent, uh, uh, person was a protest that was killed. No police officers were killed that day. Um, now compare that with the 22 or more officers that were killed or people plus officers that were killed during the BLM riots, the Antifa riots, billions and billions in the B trillion dollars a trillion dollars worth of damage. Milwaukee, Baltimore, Chicago, Ferguson. I mean you name it, all these cities across the country. Couple that Glenn with us finding out now that these people, many of them escorted in and baited many of them baited. That's right. Hey, come on in, come on in by FBI agents. We have it on video. We have it on video. That's right. What is really amazing is this is the United States of America and nobody's figuring out who these people are. Nobody's going after them. It's just so frustrating. What's for the problem, Mike, is that you got Mitch McConnell in the Senate. He's half dead. I don't think I'm peaching. You don't think impeaching, I think he should be marched out of jail. I mean, are you serious? Yeah. The amount of evidence now is not good for the Biden is outrageous. Yeah. Outrageous. It's a mountain. It's a mountain. I mean, it's a mountain. I mean, not only do you have the bloody footprints going, I've been using that analogy. Like these are the bloody footprints going back to OJ's house. Yeah. You have now found a knife in his drawer. That's right. With his fingerprints on it. I don't, I don't know what else you would be in a video and a video of it and a video of the whole of that. I mean, it's just unbelievable. Did you see Mitch McConnell getting booed? Hilarious. They were chanting retire, retire, retire. He and you know, and again, just like Biden, I mean he's got, he's got problems. He's got, he's got some, probably the beginning stages of dementia. You can see it. I don't know where I am. You know, here's the deal. His net worth is 35 frigging million dollars, right? He makes a hundred grand a year. His net worth is $35 million. It does not take a Harvard mathematician to figure out that there's some kind of bullshit going on. It doesn't. You don't need to have an advanced degree, you know, from, from Yale to figure out that that math just doesn't, you know, what's amazing then is they've all figured out the most amazing investment system ever. And folks like, we've got people on our team that are, you know, 40 years of experience, CFAs on CNBC and they cannot on a weekly basis and we can't recreate the model that a, that these folks have figured out. What we haven't done yet is bring on any Chinese spies onto our team. That's the mistake that we're making. See, and that's where Mitch McConnell was married to a, I'm saying she's a spy, but she is Chinese and I have no idea what kind of connection she has back to her family. And I don't know. You can't take it. I don't know. But I gotta be honest, he seems to be awfully on the side of China Joe who we do know has received, you know, when Trump talks about this stuff, I was listening to a very smart pundit I was talking to, and he even missed the point on this. Hunter Biden went over to China. He got immediately and came back, got set up an investment advisory firm. This is our business. We know this. Immediately got an investment from the Chinese communist party for $3 billion. Right now he charges 1 % on that. That makes $3 million a year just by sucking off that $3 billion that the Chinese communist party invested in his firm. Not a re not a registered investment advisor, Glenn, no background in being a CFA or any of that. No, just like he didn't have any background as a oil executive or any experience running a business or any experience as a painter and experience in real estate or anything else. You and I have assembled one of the most dynamic teams, if not the most dynamic team in all of Western New York, right? Chartered financial analysts, certified financial planners, certified social security claiming strategist, certified college planning experts, certified estate planning experts, Dave Ramsey certified experts. The list goes on and on. We do not have any billion dollar accounts from China. Isn't that remarkable? No, that's remarkable. Some drug addicts got $3 billion, right? The difference is we have to follow the law. We have to do things like, you know, OFAC reports, which is the background checks that we have to do to check for terrorists and criminal time. You mean the one that Hunter comes up on time and time again? Those are the SARS report. Those are the suspicious activity reports. There's a website by the way. I haven't had a chance to even look at the website, Mike, but there is a website out there that has listed all of the SARS reports. I don't know. They're supposed to be non -public. I don't know how they got their hands on these, but I haven't looked at them. I don't intend to talk about them, but what I have heard about them, I will talk about them a little bit here. I'm not going to go on and look at them, research them and get into, it's just too much news coming fast and furious. But the latest regarding those SARS reports, I'm not sure if you heard this, Mike, but a number of those are the, the suspicion was sex trafficking. Did you know that? That was part of it now. So, so not only is it a prostitution, money laundering, you know, all kinds of suspicious activity, a good chunk of those 150 plus now, I think approaching 200 suspicious activity reports, were for, for, for sex trafficking. And it's just, it's just, I mean, maybe I should go look at them, look at them and pull them up and we'll pull out some, some specific ones and talk about them on the radio. Maybe that'd be a good show for a, we fill in for Bob Lonsbury on Monday. Maybe we could talk about some of that because maybe, maybe we should do a, more detail on it. I don't want to talk about it. So, because number one, you're not supposed to talk about SARS reports, but if they're public, they're public, but number two, again, there's, I think, you know, yes, that's hugely important information. Absolutely. Hunter needs to be going to be investigated. Absolutely. And probably should be in jail for sure. Right. He's done disgusting things, including with his own niece and his brother and his, on his deceased brother's widow. That needs to start by the way, with the FBI, which has corrupt us how, right. But I'm more concerned about the Biden, the big guy. I'm more concerned about, you know, should all be asked to investigate it. It's clear, it's clear that it leads right up to him. Right. Now we're, now we're finding out that, you know, some of these people have visited the white house 30 times, 35 times, right here, by the way, let's play this quick video. I don't, I haven't played this, but this is him getting booed. It's just worth, worth the, worth the listen.
The Mason Minute
Accept The Consequences (MM #4523)
"The Minute Mason with Kevin Mason. Our political climate makes people talk about our Constitution. Right now, people talking about, well, of course, gun rights all the time. But more importantly, the First Amendment, our right to free speech. And as I learned as a young man, you have the right to speak. You also have to accept the consequences if what you say isn't accepted by a boss or a teacher or somebody of power. Sure, you can take politics out of it. At the end of the day, you can say anything you want, but you may have to pay the price in some way. I can say anything I want to about my boss. He could fire me, and he has the right. Sure, I have the right to free speech, but he has the right to pay me a salary or not. And that's the one thing people aren't quite understanding right now. Just the other day, a Baltimore Orioles broadcaster was kind of chastising the team about how they didn't play well. Well, management pays his salary, and they've decided not to pay his salary for a while. I learned this fact when I was in high school probably, if not sooner. And I've paid the price a few times for speaking in my mind. I've learned it's better to bite your tongue. You can think about it, but don't feel you've got the First Amendment right to say it. And if you do say it to somebody, make sure it's not going to come back to haunt you.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ch Ahn (Encore)
"Welcome to the Eric Metaxas show. They say it's a thin line between love and hate. But we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least make it a double or triple line. But now here's your line jumping host, Eric Metaxas. I have a very special guest today. As you know, on Miracle Mondays, we try to have someone on who believes in miracles, who's maybe experienced some miracles, whose life itself is a miracle. Today, I am thrilled to have in the studio with me, all the way from Pasadena, California, Che Ahn. How do I describe Che Ahn? He's the founder and president of Harvest International Ministry, a worldwide apostolic network of churches in over 60 nations. My goodness, he's also the international chancellor of Wagner University. He's received his master's and doctorate in ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. He's written many books. He's been married for 40 years to his wife, Sue. They have four adult children, six grandchildren. I think that says it all. Che Ahn, welcome to the program. Well, thank you. What an honor to be on your show. Listen, it's my honor to have you. I've known you for many, many years. You haven't known of me, but I've known of your ministries. What was the one with fire in the title? I can't remember. It was Teen Mania, or what was it? It was something you did here in New York, like 12 or 13 years ago. Well, we did the Call New York. That's what it was. The Call New York. It was the Call New York. Yeah, 2001. That's, you know what? 2001? Yeah, after 9 -11. That is 18 years ago. Yeah, and it's interesting because initially when we came to mobilize the pastors, actually they were very, very rude. They said, we don't need the Call to come in. And then after 9 -11 hit, they said, we need to gather together and have a solemn assembly. We need to come together and repent of our sins. And before we knew it, over 100 ,000 people showed up in Flushing Meadow. The fact that that is 18 years ago completely blows my mind. Yeah, it's been a long time. Because I spoke briefly, I was on the stage, and I remember being amazed at the crowd. It was a huge crowd. Right. And I grew up in Flushing Meadow. I mean, I grew up a couple of miles from there, and we would, as a kid growing up in Queens, New York, I would hang out there. And so to see thousands and thousands of people, then that's when I met you. But for folks who know nothing about you, what is your story? How long have you been, by the way, in Pasadena? Well, I moved in 1984, but I grew up in Washington, D .C., in Montgomery County, Maryland. So this is out of D .C. My father was the first Korean Southern Baptist pastor in North America, so he immigrated in 1958. From Korea. From Korea, South Korea. There was no Korean Southern Baptist church in the United States. He was the first one, and so they wanted him at the nation's capital. There was a handful of Korean students who were studying at Georgetown, George Washington, Catholic University, to help rebuild Korea after the Korean War, which ended in 1953. Actually, it was a ceasefire that took place. And so they wanted the Korean government, wanted the top students to learn public policy, how to do government, and to rebuild Korea. And so there were around 200 students in Washington, D .C., but they wanted a Baptist pastor. There was a Presbyterian church, there was a Methodist, but not a Southern Baptist. And it was like my dad won the lotto. He applied and got the job because it was so hard to immigrate. I mean, it's hard now, but back in 1958 to immigrate to the United States, it was almost impossible because the U .S. government realized there was no Korean Southern Baptist church. So you were born here? No, here's the problem. We had a visa problem. So my sister, my mother, and I, we were separated from my dad for three years. And so finally, after three years, during my formative year or so, almost when I was five, then we got the visa to come to the United States. And so, to say the least, when I saw my dad, I couldn't recognize him because, you know, I was just two years old when he left. People have no idea what others go through. I mean, when you describe that and how many people want to come to America. But I mean, the idea that your father is a Southern Baptist preacher in America. Well, he passed away, but he was a pioneer. No, no, I mean, but in those days that he's from Korea. Right. And so you were raised in the faith, in the Christian faith. Well, I was, but I rejected Christianity very early on because of two things, you know. There was no kids in my Sunday school. It was just students, college students. And so there was no families. There was no other kids my age. And then I went to an elementary school, Forest Grove Elementary School. And my sister and I were the only two people of color in an all -white elementary school. And now, if you go to that school, it's very, very diverse. But back in those days, it wasn't until the fifth grade I remember someone of color coming in. And so there were no other Asians, no African -Americans, no Hispanic. And so we stood out. And so I got in fights all the time because people were calling me chink, even though I'm not Chinese. That's a drug term for Chinese and Jap, even though I wasn't Japanese. You know, by the way, I have a little joke. I say you could tell the difference between a Chinese, Japanese, and a Korean. If you see a rich -looking Asian, they're Chinese. A smart -looking Asian, they're Japanese. But if you see a handsome -looking Asian, he's Korean. Ha! Ha! Take that. Yeah, so anyway, but I got in fights all the time. And I wanted to be so accepted. Plus, my parents were working day and night just to survive in America. And so as a result of that, my craving for acceptance and to be popular led me into the whole hippie drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s. I joke I may have been the first Korean hippie in North America because I never met anyone. I stopped cutting my hair for three and a half years. And my dad is freaking out. He doesn't know what's going on. And by the time I'm 15, I'm doing everything under the sun. Heavy drug user, cocaine, heroin, LSD. And then by the time I'm 17, I'm pushing drugs to support my habit. And so I was totally out of control. But one thing my parents did was pray for me. And I really want to encourage people not to stop praying no matter how bad it looks. Because the Bible says in Acts 16 31, believe on the Lord Jesus and you and your family will be saved. And so my parents prayed me into the Kingdom. And so I'm here by the grace of God. I got radically saved at a Deep Purple concert. So that gives you a little clue where I was at. Wait a minute. You got saved at a Deep Purple concert? Yeah, in May 1973. They were just touring with Smoke on the Water, a new song that came out in 1972. And they were touring in 1973. And it was at the Baltimore Civic Center. I made a concert, 15 ,000 tickets sold out in two hours. They were the number one band in America at that time. And during the intermission I had an encounter with God where the Lord spoke to me for the first time. I'm not talking about audibly in the small still voice. Because I was having this for two weeks, this visitation from the Lord Jesus. Without anyone witnessing to me. That's why I'm saying the power of... Now when you say that because people are listening and I'm really one of them. Like you're thinking, what do you mean by that? I mean here you are, you know, you're a teenager, right? Right. You are big time into drugs and you're selling drugs. You go to a Deep Purple concert. Now you say that for two weeks up to that, God had been somehow communicating with you or visiting you. What do you mean specifically? Okay, so two weeks before I'm at my friend Sal's. We're at a party. Just guys bonging on marijuana and smoking and drinking beer. Nothing heavy. It wasn't like we were tripping on acid or anything. But I was just bored because I was just doing that every day. It was just so monotonous. You know, day in, day out, just getting high. So I went to another room and I was into Zen Buddhism at that time. Just experimenting with Eastern religion. So I went to the room just to go through my chant and after saying the stupid chant, I was saying it incessantly for almost a year. And finally I just said, you know what, this is the stupidest thing I've ever done. I said that to myself. I got nothing out of it, Eric. And you just said, duh. Yeah, right. No, but this is how he said that. So I said God, I said this audibly by the way, no one was in the room. I said, God, I don't even know if you exist, but if you do exist, if my parents, what they told me is true, that there's a heaven and a hell. Well, I don't want to go to hell if there is a hell, but I don't know. So reveal yourself to me. So I was expecting him to show me if he does exist in the days ahead. But as soon as I prayed that right there in the party, the presence of God came all over me and I started to weep because I felt so much love and peace about me. Alone in the room. Alone in my room. And I was sobbing and I knew, I knew it was Jesus. I just knew because I just prayed if what my parents told me as a Christian pastor, if Jesus is the way, if there is a heaven and a hell. And so I thought I was having some kind of emotional breakdown, but it lasted for three days. Every day that presence came on me and I would just start weeping. And I said, what is going on? No one witnessed to me. Are you kidding? Now hold on because we're going to go to a break. Jay on is my guest. It's Miracle Monday. I love these kind of stories. We'll be right back with the rest of the story. And there's plenty more. It's the air from Texas show.

Someone Is Lying and Chuck Grassley Wants to Get to the Bottom of It
"Lying. Someone is lying more. Someone either perjured themselves or all of the above. But Chuck Grassley is going to try to get to the bottom of it. And today, Margo Cleveland writes a little more about this and how the spotlight has now turned to this Leslie Wolf. And she says Delaware you assistant US attorney was briefed in October and memory Gary Shapley is the center of this whole thing. Who, again, I can just speak for what my eyes tell me when I watch him. He comes across as very credible. When he speaks, his story comes across as very credible when he tells it. His facts come across as very credible when he lays them out. And the reality of the whole situation that he lays out is very credible knowing the other parties involved being Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and the Department of Justice run under Merrick Garland. Yeah. And when you juxtapose this against the cocaine story, you notice Gary Shapley's story doesn't change. The facts don't change. Unlike the cocaine story, it started out here, then it's over there, then it's over here, now it's over there. It could have been, it could have been, who knows? Maybe it was a vice president. Maybe it was one of the construction workers. Maybe it was somebody visiting the White House, but it wasn't the crackhead who lives there with his dad. Okay. A Delaware assistant U .S. attorney was briefed in October 2020 that a confidential human source had reported Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes, Senator Chuck Grassley revealed Sunday in a letter to Delaware U .S. attorney David Weiss. A source familiar with that briefing has now confirmed to the Federalist that the Pittsburgh office told the Delaware office that the confidential human source's reporting appeared credible and merited further investigation. That added detail increases the significance of Grassley's Sunday letter and his question to David Weiss about whether his deputy thwarted the investigation. Grassley wrote, quote, on October 23, 2020, Justice Department and FBI special agents from the Pittsburgh field office briefed assistant U .S. attorney Leslie Wolf, one of your top prosecutors, and FBI special agents from the Baltimore field office with respect to the contents of the FBI generated 1023 form, alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving the then vice president, Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden,

"Over. Mark up your way, okay? When we come back, big news of the day, at least 16 to reach out to the cardinals about trading up for their number three draft spot Mina tells us who she thinks are the top contenders for the trade and Marcus is throwing out some wild guesses of who might be trying to get to three. More coming your way. More roaring too. The NFL Draft just 17 days away, April 27th, 28th and 29th, we'll have every pick once again on ESPN and of course NFL live will be there in Kansas City two hour specials on Thursday and Friday. It's also available on the NFL network and ABC's coverage focuses on the prospect's journey to the draft. All three days, also live on ESPN to 40s ESPN radio and the app. All right, so let's get to some top stories as big one coming down yesterday with OBJ signing with the ravens Adam tell us more. Well, Laura during Easter dinner during the masters, Odell Beckham junior announces that you reach agreement with the Baltimore Ravens on a one year deal worth up to $18 million and he's done so having been in communication with Lamar Jackson who went ahead and posted images on social media of the two men talking together and at the ravens can get a deal done with Lamar. Odell and Le Mans was spending a lot more time talking together this season. Also in the beltway area, the Washington commanders continue to be for sale and Daniel Snyder now has two beads of at least $6 billion from two different groups. One led by the 76ers owner, Josh Harris, another led by the Canadian billionaire Steve apostolopoulos, and there is some sensor on the league that there could be a purchase agreement in place in the coming weeks before the upcoming NFL Draft. And the Arizona Cardinals had from at least 16s interested in trading up to the third overall selection. And as the draft gets closer, it certainly seems like Arizona could be deciding to deal that pick to any one of these teams that would like to come up for a quarterback. Now, the Cardinals have not made a final decision. They could sit there and take the top player on the board at number three, but clearly it's looking with all this interest in that bank like they could be moving on from number three. Yeah, this is fascinating. I think going to be one of the stories that we continue to follow in the lead up to the draft. And Mina, who should be in the market to move up and get that third pick. This is so fun. Adam throwing out a number like that and giving us reason to guess which team is might be calling Arizona. I absolutely love it. I absolutely think the obvious teams are the cults for because we know they need a quarterback and they might be trying to fend off someone else. The Raiders at 7 and other team obvious need at quarterback. And then I'll say the Titans at 11. This seems to be the worst kept secret in the NFL right now that they're interested in moving up. Beyond those three, I'm actually looking in the mix in that area at the Seahawks, the lions and falcons, as teams where if they absolutely love one of these quarterbacks, they Anthony Richardson, they might be at least putting in a call to see about it. I'm not saying it's plausible. I think those first three teams are the more likely ones, but those are three teams that I don't think they don't need quarterbacks, falcons say they're happy with Ritter. Of course, the lines have golf and the Seahawks have Geno Smith. But if they really love one of the quarterbacks, I could see them at least looking into it. Well, when we were talking, I was throwing teams out there left and right, okay? And I think, look, when you, when you're talking about these particular situations, I had to watch it to commanders as one team that you had to keep an eye on, even though they started talking about how high they are on say on how I also had the Minnesota Vikings knowing that Kirk Cousins contract is coming to an end and you may want to start a new era there at quarterback in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well. The template Buccaneers are not sitting pretty at the quarterback position right now. So those are three teams that I threw out there that could be potentially seeking to go up and get one of those guys as well that we talk about franchise guys. The interesting part about all of this is after you get past Bryce's CJ, what value do you put on one of those guys and that's the will Evers and Anthony Richardson conversation and I can see a couple of these teams a few of these teams having an idea about what they could potentially be with Anthony Richardson or potentially will ever. Yeah, Marcus, and there's no surprise that Arizona wanted to trade out. I think we all speculated that as soon as the draft order was finalized at three, you're not taking a quarterback. Okay, you want to trade back. But I think what was surprising to me is Adam's report that 6 teams want to move up. That's a lot. That's more than just the teams that we get eyeball and say, okay, you need a quarterback, you want to trade up. You need a quarterback. You want to trade up. So I do think it opens the door to teams like Mina said Seattle, Detroit. The Las Vegas Raiders gave Jimmy Garoppolo a quarterback contract that's not great. It's pretty average and he hasn't stayed healthy. I think they're a team you have to keep in the mix. So definitely a lot of movement possibilities. And let's keep in mind. I don't think Arizona is going to want to go too far back because they're going to want to be able to get one of the top players in this draft and then let's keep this in mind. What if to blow everybody's minds? The Houston Texans decide not to go quarterback at two. And then we can have a feeding frenzy epic number three. So we'll see what happens. There are so many unanswered questions, but all this will come into focus in the coming weeks. We might have to follow up on that text in situation tomorrow. I know it's not news, but just the scenario. We got time for one more thing before we go. Marcus, I think you got a shout out you want to make. Yes, a B and B got paid. And y'all know when to be a B gets paid. I have to acknowledge the fact that we are getting money all over the place. My fan Jeffrey Simmons signed a four year $94 million deal and I got some plays as to why. This is one because you can't block me. You gotta get your hands off of this is quickness. This is finishing on the quarterback. The next one you see is brute strength and power. I'm a push you into the quarterback. Yeah, why your mom and dad and watching and the second thing is understanding how to rush. Look how he covers for everybody. Oh, that side is open. Let me wrap around and get Aaron Rogers. Jeffrey Simmons got paid, rightfully so he's a B and B and shout out to my guy, man. Jason had to who I played with in the NFL, one of my really good friends. He started an agency called walk in business. He is his family, they represented him his age of Paul. These guys got it done for Jeffrey Simmons a dominant defensive tackle that's going to put the Titans at least in a situation where they can continue to play high level defense.

Maybe we end up where we're supposed to be. At the little things. Healing. With doing the impossible thing, every single day. Tiny beautiful things now streaming only on Hulu. So glad you're with us on NFL live. This is the news today, odo Beckham junior officially a Raven. So once you bring in a Baltimore in terms of versatility, Mina start us off. Yeah, one of my favorite attributes of OBJ is when he's healthy is his ability to create when he has the ball in his same hands. Since 2019, the ravens ranked dead last in the NFL in yards after the catch. My hope is that OBJ can change that because if he is healthy, when he gets the football, he is able to do miraculous things on the field with his vision, his explosiveness, and his shiftiness. He is an incredible wide receiver with the ball in his hands. Yeah, I am going right off of that. The ability to separate. I don't have any 2019 stats, but I do have my eyes and you talk about his precise ability to run routes, his ability to create separation when he sticks his foot in the ground, which sometimes you get concerned with the ACL's, obviously with his hard cutting, but he has been creating separation at a high rate since he stepped into this league, and there's an offense that needs this more than anybody. It's the Baltimore Ravens when you're trying to evolve capacity. Got me the ravens need everything at the wide receiver position, but I'm excited to see OBJ get back in the field as a deep threat. Something this offense really needs. It for shot Bateman is back. He had 15 catches last year. Really has three touchdowns in his career, but he's more of a possession style underneath receiver. My hope is that OBJ can stretch the field soften things up from Mark Andrews on the underneath and give Lamar Jackson that home run hitter and wide receiver that they've really never had in his NFL career. Yeah, and if you're sitting at home saying, yeah, but he tore his ACL twice and all that jazz. We hear you. We had Stefani bell our injury analyst on earlier in the show if you missed it, she talked about how structurally sound that ACL actually is and how many in the medical field expect OBJ to return to his form as a wide receiver. We'll keep an eye on it, but the medical opinion is that he'll be just like he was before, which is pretty amazing. Over the last three seasons, by the way, the ravens have struggled to get production from the wide receiver position over that span. Baltimore's wide outs rank last in receptions, receiving yards and first downs. In fact, they recorded more than 50 fewer first down receptions than any other team in the NFL. I mean, it's no secret that on this show we've been at times maddened by the ravens offense in the scheme. We haven't seen this new offense with their new offensive coordinator Todd muffin just yet. What do you anticipate? Yeah, and we're talking about the addition of OBJ, I would argue that the change to Todd monken is offensive coordinator probably have a bigger impact on his offense. We've only seen Lamar played with Greg Roman. So monkey Williams with the NFL with the box that was a very past heavy pest heavy pardon me attack with Jameis Winston. I actually think there'll be a lot more to learn from what he did at Georgia in terms of the use of multiple tight ends. We saw him develop a design run game stetson Bennett very different from our Jackson, obviously. But the most important thing he did there and I think the thing that matters the most for Baltimore is how he integrated the run and the past. When you watch Georgia football, everything look the same. And with the pass catchers, there was an attention to detail that's really been missing with the ravens. This ravens offense with Lamar Jackson as the dual threat should have the most explosive play action passing attack in the NFL. Especially if Odell Beckham junior and Rashad Bateman are healthy. So my hope is that they are healthy and that if Lamar Jackson is the quarterback, Todd monkey can elevate a passing game that's really been lacking for a couple of years now. I'm rocking like the old people do 'cause you preaching that good word right now. Listen. I'm excited about as well. You got Odell Beckham junior and obviously health, Rashad Bateman health and Mina. I think beckman gets a bad rep when dude on the field. He productive. It's just him keeping him on the field. I'm having an opportunity. But the thing, yes, the thing that relates is that Todd munching comes from an offense where the tight end was his best offensive weapon at Georgia. Now he steps in with Mark Andrews and how he uses Mark Andrews in this offense as well. Who had a high rate, obviously, of targets because he was the guy that everyone trusted in the passing game and you talked about the play action as well. The exciting part about this is that now you have three legitimate playmakers that will uncover areas for each other if they all can be on the field at one time. And that has to be a proposition that Lamar Jackson is very excited about. And even this ravens fan base. And you don't have to lose your physical identity of running the football when you want to with these guys, which is the point you made about the play action. I'm excited to see what Tom monkey does, but he absolutely has guys that can be game breakers in that type of offense. You know, we've all decided that maybe Lamar Jackson is coming back to the ravens now that the Soviet J things happen at Matt, there were some theories that maybe they should try to go and get a quarterback and we would try to get up to that number three spot. We'll get to that story in a little bit, but what should they look to do in the draft Baltimore? Maybe if things stand as they do right now? Draft a wide receiver. I don't know that signing a 31 year old coming off two ACL injuries for one year is going to really solve the wider super problem long term. We saw the stats. You guys are talking about it. They haven't since had a Pro Bowl wide receiver. Their fewest in the NFL in yards. They still need wide receiver help. Even if Bateman's back, we're looking at Nelson Aguilar in the slot. No disrespect, he's a lot better

"I looked at it from that angle. Well, they're going to have somebody play quarterback Marcus and just think about this since we heard Lamar Jackson's trade request in early March to the best of our knowledge. There hasn't been a team that has been willing to sign him to an offer sheet. The market is not been as robust as many people thought it would be. And there has been communication with Odell Beckham junior who now has reached agreement with the Baltimore Ravens. So there are a whole host of factors that you have to think have Lamar seen the ravens in a little bit of a different mindset today than he might have over a month ago when he initially submitted that trade request before free agency began before he had the opportunity to speak with other teams before Odell Beckham junior became a Raven and so that's what happens during the off season. The dynamics are constantly shifting and where they're shifting today makes it more likely that Lamar Jackson is going to be in Baltimore than he's going to be elsewhere, though this story still has to play itself out. Listen, I know that OBD is a smart businessman. He's looking at the market. He's saying, I want to make as much money as possible, but I just don't see how he signs this deal, how he decides to go with the ravens unless he feels at least somewhat confident and probably more than that, right? That Lamar Jackson is the quarterback there. Mayfield experience. Right. Yes. All right, listen, we're going to continue to pay attention to this. One of the questions that a lot of people have had is how healthy actually is OBJ, right? A lot of people concerned with his health and that ACL returned two ACLs. Welcome in stephania bell for more on that information and stefania. You've got a lot to tell us here about why this comeback is really unique. The recovery as well. So take it away. Well, you know, Laura, I think people have become used to ACL injuries and recoveries, ACL reconstruction. We hear it all the time. We see players come back all the time, but the fact is, what Odell had was a second ACL surgery on the same knee. We call that a revision ACL. And it's different because it takes longer to recover, typically, a more difficult recovery. You can't progress it as quickly because when you have that injury twice, there's hypothetically more damage within inside the knee. And guess what we've never seen an elite wide receiver return to form after this type of injury. But give me the butt. But there might, there's reason for optimism here. And let me tell you why. We got a great picture here. Looking inside the knee. So you see the ACL on the diagram there. And the ideal graft when you have to repair a torn ACL comes from the bone tendon and bone of the patellar tendon. A lot of times when you have a second surgery, that might not be available, especially if you had an injury on the other side in Odell's case, it was available on his opposite knee. So he's got the best kind of graft in there. Second, he did not have significant cartilage damage. When you have two injuries like this, you worry about this inside lining of the knee, damage to the cartilage, that can impair your future. I've been told that he had a good-looking knee on the inside so his recovery was allowed to progress at the rate of a typical primary ACL recovery. Well, couple that with the fact that he had a whole year off from football, so he's got fresh legs, and a solid graft, and I think you're looking at potential for him to actually return to the level of receiver that we saw before. I really, I understand I'm simplifying this here. It almost feels as though with the structure of the knee that he didn't have the second ACL tear. It's almost as if it's only one, and then there was a whole lot of time to recover from that. I know I oversimplified, but still, that's the confidence level here. Yeah, and consider, you know, I spoke with a surgeon, doctor Neal Ella trash, who is also the rams team physician who had the ability to watch him with the rams and really knows this guy, and he said he's going to be a monster this year. Okay, there we go. You heard it here first. Thanks, it's Stefani bell. Our injury expert for all the latest here. We're just getting started on NFL live OBJ has a new home as we've talked about.

They're separated by one game in the north every game also available on ESPN+ don't miss it the drama starting to heat up in the excess belt. All right, now listen, some great battles of late between the chiefs and Bengals, Carson Palmer, though, had this opinion on the team's two quarterbacks. Joe burrow and Patrick Mahomes listen to this. I like it. I know Patrick is phenomenal. But I just think Joe's more consistent. He's more consistent. He's more accountable to run the system in the play that's called. And not feel like, well, he didn't win last time and get open for me. So I'm going to do it with my feet and then before you know it, your soft for a four yard loss because you tried to make two or three guys missed. Joe is just. Talk about not having a weakness. Okay, to be clear, we're huge fans of both quarterbacks here on NFL live, but Marcus, who would you choose? Matt Miller's here, too. We'll get to him in a second. Go ahead, swagger. It's Patrick Mahomes. And look, usually boogie I'm working on being a better person this year, because usually I would go off. Do you know when I hear things that don't make any sense, and it's not going well? Because I just went off the other day on something else. But I would rather cross in Palmer and anybody else just say they prefer the way Joe burrow plays football. Because saying that Joe burrow is better than Patrick Mahomes. That's dumb. That just as for 9. And it's because of the not only the accomplishments, what we've seen. Like what we watch if you don't like the fact that a quarterback is going to improvise and go out of structure, it's cool to say that. And like you said at the beginning, nobody is taking anything away from Joe burrow. But we had this conversation amongst people at ESPN talking about Joe burrow is no he's not. Joe burrow is not better than Patrick Mahomes at the quarterback position right now. Joe burrow is elite. He is one of the top three in the league, I believe. But he's not better than Patrick Mahomes. And that's fine. But if you're partial to the way that Joe burrow plays and you come up with some things of why you think Joe burrow is better, that's no problem. Just don't say he's better

"That playbook exactly the people like my great grandfather had carried out, and that was covered up to such an extent the murder that he was then called a redeemer for his role in everything and was elected to the state legislature that passed Jim Crow laws. And so I looked at the way that cover up had created the whiteness that I had inherited, and there was my world. Yeah, it's fascinating. And but you know, all the things that you said just there, the history that you describe, or that's invisible to so many people. But the impact that it's had, you know, certainly you've identified how you benefited from something that one of your ancestors had done. And sort of the impact of that. And as you're talking, I'm remembering. I think really actually the last time we may have spoken was were you one of those reporters who was swept up in the in 20 it would have been 2017 at Trump's inauguration? So we didn't talk about that. I was, I narrowly avoided. I was in the group that was getting cat old. I held up my press pass. And cop went around me and knocked down the person behind me, but Aaron called to a reporter with the same reporter at the time. He was charged and had to fight it for months and months and months, 235 defendants ultimately were charged in that case and almost all were acquitted. But yeah, we did end up talking about that. Yeah, that was all these people blessed or dressed in black. They must be antifa. They were counting to disrupt Trump's inauguration. And the police were able to take care of that, I guess. So what's next for you? You say that, you know, one of the nice things about the documentary doing well is more and more money for you to do other types of projects. What are you thinking and working on or what are you working on? Well, I'm working on an investigative police story for the Baltimore beat. One of the really exciting things here is we have a new nonprofit black staffed and black web. Alternative weekly paper here, the beat, it's in print because one of the things about the city is at any given time between 25 and 40% of the people don't have regular access to Internet. And so it's important that it's in print and so I'd been working with a younger reporter on a story sort of training her up and she got a different job and so I ended up I'm taking over the story about a police shooting that happened about a year ago here. So I'm deep in that right now. So that's sort of in my, but there's a couple different TV and documentary things going on. I've been doing some magazine work for Oxford American. There's a lot of it's kind of nice actually narratives really the writing of it was very, very intense. My dad was dying of ALS. When I was writing it, and he's also a main character in it. When we were greatly at odds, there'll be our being at odds is sort of one of the narrative dynamics of it.

"D Watkins was at the same time writing a story who's a great writer about Baltimore about Herschel and moose as well. So we put out this big package. Story about that two years later, March 2017, 8 officers get indicted on RICO charges, conspiracy extortion, all sorts of the kind of charges that brought down were designed to bring down the mafia. And it turned out that rehearsal who we thought was like the worst of the worst and BB was actually just sort of a low level bruiser, whereas Wayne Jenkins was this crazy criminal mastermind, triple crossing people. I mean, he was sloppy and wild and insane. The funniest part of the movie is a wiretap where two of the cops that worked with him who also were home invaders, drug dealers and stuff, gondo and rayam, they're just like, he's off the chain off the chain off the chain. I mean, everyone around him was just amazed at what a psychopath this guy, what? Yeah, yeah, the one guy who was a bail bondsman who was fencing a lot of this money and stuff made a lot of money off of him. I mean, you know, he marveled at the audacity of Jenkins. The things that he was doing to the point, you know, he eventually turned himself in, I guess. I mean, he kind of had to because they had a lot of. No, he was arrested. He turned himself in. He waited. Until they busted it. I mean, he had white knuckles, but he was still dealing cocaine. So they busted a woman who was leaving his house with cocaine and then the reason that they got him, they held him and waiting, because Jenkins was not going to plead guilty. A bunch of them pled guilty and cooperated. And so they knew they had to get this guy, and it turned out he'd been filming everything. Recording everything. So he turned out to be really valuable to the U.S. attorney's office. And what's interesting about it, you talk about filming and everything. What sort of one of the things that has sort of come more prominent in recent years is this idea of for police oversight having body cams. And about a time that a lot of this stuff was going on, you know, the Baltimore city police had were using body cams and a lot of the not a lot of some of the footage from the documentary is based on stuff that they, on their own cameras showing the crimes that they were committing, or at least setting things up so they could commit crimes. Yeah, I mean, what's amazing about the whole body camera argument is that there was a moment around that time 2014, 2015 when progressives were like, body cams are going to save the day. You know, they're going to show cops doing dirty stuff. Well, 99% of the time, body cams are terrible for the defendant. Yeah. But what they were doing before they got body cams even more faking footage. So we have this amazing footage where they break into it, guys, say, steal a $100,000, I've done close the safe back. And then reenact break and go from the state on camera. They also win and ask the neighbor questions on camera to try to set up their own timeline of things. And really devious devious use. The film, but then when they finally get body cameras, hersel thinks his is off. He walks up to gondo and says it's off. Gunder says, oh, that's good.

"And flipped the scrip fast. Go back to the that. Good scorcher team. I don't know how you do that with the drop of a hat next day. Day game a after you just got taking two of three at home against the baltimore orioles. Taiwan's just got a pitch very well. Bought a old cliche goes it starts with the the guy in the mount starts with the starting pitcher because guess what this start that gives them some breathing room to tha but if tyron again can't get through the fifth inning which he has been unable to do as less to starts out how the how the heck are they're going to get five innings out of this bullpen. This team they four wins in a row this team. I'm talking about the baltimore the baltimore. I'm talking about the toronto blue jays. They're scary team right now. I've said they were scared since spring training but right now this this team scares the shit out of me Looking at this more. They're scaring me even more because they have some They got a chip on their shoulder. A little bit of revenge from the the last series against the yankees yankees just got their ass kicked by the blue jays. Basically taking a two or three. They're in a vulnerable position. This is a young team hungry team at at new york in the bronx that want to make a mark these types of kids that wanna that want to embarrass you when possible so not feeling good about that. I'm not feeling good about that. There's a lot of a lot of a motivation for them. They're playing well. They see the yankees in their sights. What are we up. Four games four and a half on on toronto a half hour and a half with four to play like that that they have another series for to play in this series. That's that's a. That's a very clean thing to do when you're when you're when you're looking at the blue jays for some Bolton board material. Yeah all right little little half episode on memorial day as labor day weekend labor day. Monday you guys are enjoying the holiday and the weekend and scott nice so there's a busy week for the yankees just like you said the four games but also we have the jeeter hall of fame speech coming up this week so you and i are going to do an episode after we hear that and react. I i am. I kind of have high expectations for it full. Well knowing i'm going to be let down because eaters. Just going to be very jittery. I think in. I don't think we're gonna get it. He's opened up more. He's definitely opened up more and started talking about certain things. So maybe this is know. I think he started doing that with the player's tribune. When when that whole thing started that was what the year after he retired. And then you know he's gotten he has kids now so there's a lot more of emotions that are like swirling in this man's brain. We'll see how the composure has changed. And how he can do it because this is gonna hit. The nostalgia button really hard for everybody. There's going to be a lot of people there watching him. You know supporting him and He's not going to be able to do this by just like staring out at a screen. There's been a whole bunch of things right. The the voicemails. What he's going to do. I think is go back to the stories and then turn it on people. And that's how he gets through those moments rather than like all being him he'll turn and he'll he'll talk about the impact and he'll talk about the things that certain people did for him and then turned it into like a little bit of story joke. And then he'll deflect in that way he's gonna he's gonna hill definitely have some self deprecating In in the speech over under time on the speech he put. What's an average speech. I don't know what an average i don't know what was griffin minutes. I'd say five minutes. I'd say over the five minutes. I take over five minutes. If if if i were to guess it would be around ten but i don't even know if i'm closing long. I think that might be long. I feel like i long career long career. There's a lot of people can say nice things about him. He's got a lot of people have thanked. There's a lot of things that went on the kid from kalamazoo all the way through all this championships with the yankees. And now he's started a whole other baseball life with with the marlins like he's got a lot how much if any of the speech will have the marlins in it. I think if anything it will it will tie help tie it to just how baseball is continuing and how he learned everything from the organization and is applying that. I don't even think i'll say the name. I don't think. I don't think he'll say that. Name florida marlins new organization or no. I think he'll just say influence how. I have continued my baseball career. Or something. like that. like he'll just allude to it but not say it. Does he mention. He'll go back into the yankee ways like in immediately he obviously will think george steinbrenner. Joe torry probably joe girardi as well since he did win. Stick michael i bet. Stick michael shout here. Does buck showalter get a a mention now. I mentioned obviously his teammates. Kasahda pettitte mariano. Those are the core for bernie hopefully gets a gets a mention bernie's part of the core. Yes she's part of the queen's not the core four that was a marketing thing that that was a very very williams. Yeah why am. I buy completely missing. This guy's name steiner sports. That was that was a steiner sports thing who who who mark them the core for the core five. I don't care what anybody says. Does a rod get a mention. No very strategically not. So because it's like obviously you the glory days without a-rod and then the one i think he's gonna talk a lot about his parents. I think he's gonna talk a lot about apparently he may he may bring it back to the two thousand and one world series and in that moment like just because i getting drafted and stuff actually. If you guys didn't listen. I did a history episode on how jeeter fell to the yankees at number five not really following but like he felt number six because it was called the jeeter five so i believe five players were taken ahead of derek jeter and just like how that draft process went to go. Check that out. We should probably re release some of the jeeter any. Yeah the jeter jeeter centrica histories. We'll re post the jeeter one on wednesday morning the day of the speech. That was the only jeeter centric one. I think that i did. But yeah i mean he'll he'll definitely thank all of those people. I don't think it gets mentioned either. But it's interesting that does he. He'll i think he'll. He'll talk about his five championships. Maybe in general does he like talk about specifics. From those teams or anything. I'm not sure. I think the championships one or an opportunity to talk about the his teammates. And all those things coming up. But i also think the postseason and the moment and that's where i think potentially there will be some discussion..

"When I talk to my clients, one of the most common questions I get is what kind of return can I get all my money? My answer to that question is another question. For what purpose? Sometimes the question confuses the people I'm talking to, They might say for what purpose? What do you mean by that? I just want my money to grow. If I'm being honest, this is one of the things that drives me crazy about the financial planning industry, the financial news broker chalices and so many so called financial planning experts talk about growth. Don't talk about purpose. For example, what if you had $100,000 and he grew by 20%? You might feel good because now you have 120,000. But then what if your investment experience a 20% loss? Now you feel bad because a 20% lost on 120 grand brings the account down the 96,000. I have less than you started with first You felt great. Then you felt terrible. But none of those emotions were based on purpose, just gain and loss. If there's no purpose for your money, and what does it matter if it grows or declines?

"Okay sue. you said that the lawsuit that went before the supreme court this week was brought by city of baltimore. Yep and there are more than twenty of these lawsuits. They're all alleging various versions of the same thing that climate change is causing damage in the city or the state or the county and that oil and gas companies are partially responsible. And the baltimore case just happens to be the one that made it the supreme court. So we'll focus on that one also very convenient because you live in baltimore. Indeed i do definitely makes it easier for this reporting so what specifically does the baltimore lawsuit allege so this lawsuit alleges that a long list of big fossil company isn't that includes exxon mobil shell. Bp chevron misled the public about the dangers of burning fossil fuels and that those companies have to help the city pay for the cost of climate change so the lawsuit lays out how global warming is causing damage in the city. And how that's expensive for the city. Government like heat waves for example. They're expensive or flooding like the flooding from climate driven extreme. Yeah and flooding from ceelo arise. So let's start there because that's actually the simpler one sea levels on the east coast of the us arising more quickly than the global average streets sometimes flood during high tide. When there's a storm water ends up in buildings which is obviously not good <laughter>. And when you look to the future. The city estimates that the amount of baltimore's port area that will flood frequently will increase by almost one hundred fifty percent in the next thirty years. Well a hundred fifty percent becky. that is intense. That is a lot of flooding. Yeah it's super serious. And i have to imagine that it's going to be really expensive to retrofit baltimore to be able to deal with what's coming. Yeah totally and you know. Climate change isn't just a future cost right. Cds are already racking up millions of dollars in infrastructure costs and understand why you have to remember that. A lot of cities were built a long time ago and they weren't designed for

"Said they wouldn't lose the orioles and now they had to go and Court the nfl to get another team back they. They don't have a team so what it did is woke them up and the silver lining to all of this is. It's you know that that was the genesis of the renaissance of you know baltimore keeping the orioles and getting the ravens. What i hinted at and documentary didn't really go into detail whether because i didn't really want to go into the raven part of his business about the baltimore colts. You know you know. I interviewed matt stover and one of the things i asked him is like this happen again. 'cause they lose another team like you know they're stadium now twenty five thirty years old almost and if they don't renovate it or build a new stadium could they leave and he says absolutely they could and i truly believe that too. I think it is an evolution that if you don't keep pace with the finances and the demands of the nfl you know the way the nfl and it is Evolve with money and stadiums. There's not too many teams out there. You couldn't lose and it's you know it's a a warning you know that you could. They could lose them again. I don't think that will happen. I think they learned their lesson. But it could happen. You know so. It's a cautionary tale. Well it's interesting to in terms of You know the the inner harbor and it's sort of a renaissance of a downtown baltimore Experience in the in the eighties. It's it. It's almost ironic that at that time. You know the cult's wind up leaving but in many respects almost all became sort of a catalyst frankly to sort of incorporate sports part of sort of that that renaissance and people look at the inner harbor is almost two as a blueprint. Frankly of how to how to reinvigorate a A neglected Were long storied. Forgotten sort of downtown or course center and stuff so but i think also is part of of civic pride because baltimore is always had this sort of you know smaller a child syndrome or brothers sisters syndrome versus the washington. Dc thing or even even the philadelphia area. Just go up and down the The east coast. Although i think wilmington probably even has more of a complex. But but i guess it's it's just it's interesting because it also ties into how sports and cities and pride and all that kind of stuff come into play but at what cost to to what extent right when things like education and housing and job opportunities and all the all the all the ills that that that still a shaky society right which on many different levels would always seem to rise to the top of importance versus say a sports team right or a small gaggle of owners. That are basically running a private enterprise right that you know kind of shakedown communities every ten or twenty years for facilities or tax breaks and that kind of stuff right but it's complicated right just like you said there's a lot of shades of gray and as we've talked about on the show many many many times going way back in the late eighteen hundreds franklin baseball in the beginning. Right where you know having a sports team especially for a city on the com- if you will or perhaps overlooked over time or size or scaler or whatever It actually helps them. Put them on the map right and it makes right. It's bigger than just.

"He he certainly he loves to mix it up and he didn't sort of mince any words in the process too so he was not sort of winning a lot of sort of hearts in this process. But you know from a business perspective. You could sort of see his point. I guess i who's to blame. It seems like there's a little bit to go around. Maybe him a little bit more. So i guess right. It's just like everything in life him. i think they're shades. Great everything i think. Part of the blame was him. Not being transparent insane. Look i'm going to leave if you don't do this. And this and then part of it is the city of baltimore who wasn't really forthright in the way. They negotiated with them and figured like okay. He really can't do anything about it so they didn't have the foresight to see. They were going to lose the team. He wasn't transparent enough in telling them that. I'm gonna leave if you don't do this so it's really both both both every blame all the way around. And in the end the people who paid for were the fans of baltimore. You know the fans that want to hear about the economics on either side. They didn't want their team. The leave so unfortunately that happens in a lot of situations even today. So i would think that you there's to go around the board y to the uninitiated. Why did they why was why was the departure so abrupt so clandestine so done. You know dramatically with those moving vans in the middle of under the cover of night on that particular evening I'm not sure people sort of recognize. Sort of the the specificity of that day and why it almost his hand was forced for for a reason or two. Why why was that. The exclamation point and the dramatic point that the team left in such a manner In in march of eighty four. Well you gotta goes to. What kind of person. What kind of man say was he he really. It was heavy handed.

"Ended eleven sin. Movie that you know had the had. The guy's going to the games it was intertwined in that storyline so and you know arguably they played in two of the most important games or the two most important games in. Nfl history with fifty eight world championship really was the advent of big time. Tv for the nfl. Put them on the map and then when they lost the super bowl to name if and the jets and sixty nine emerged the two leagues and you know formed the modern. Nfl the afl nfl. So the team is entrenched in. Nfl history and importance. So and i feel that the name also the colts it was it was their name here like when they did not get that name It was a big deal if in fact if you know if they had sold the name back to the ravens and today you had the baltimore colts. I probably wouldn't even have done this documentary. There would have been a blip of about a decade in there but the colts had come back and you had the baltimore colts back and we know what the horseshoe and everything so the symbolism you know the history you know your grandpa grandfather to the father to the son is memories that everybody had and they were just kinda ripped away and kinda put it in a box and you ended ravings of healed the town somewhat but you know a young with the colts. The ravens fans today are pretty rapid to I just i've never seen anything like colt fans. They you know in making this documentary of got a cult following of people who've have watched it. That is greg up a lot of emotion for them and i think it was a little bit cathartic for him to see you know some of the interviews. I put together with an you know an eighty year old tom mattie or some of the colts and you know just really explain the inner workings of you know why it happened. And that it wasn't it wasn't baltimore salt. How i mean baltimore was relatively. Well i guess not. Relatively the nfl was relatively late itself. I guess sort of expanding beyond and we've talked about this a lot. Different leagues and stuff baseball to for sure..

"There are plenty of other great To check out our website. Why don't you But let's get into the conversation. Finally why don't we A great one with troy lohman as we talk about the baltimore. colts their legacy the ravens are part of all of that. And it's truly the ghosts of thirty third street old memorial stadium. Let's dial it back into baltimore shall. Here's our conversation we try. We had just a couple of weeks back please as always enjoy. I'm guessing that you're you're a baltimore native and perhaps that has something to do with the. Let's call it fascination with the story of the legendary cult. But i may be a bit presumptuous. No i am not a maryland native. I grew up on on maryland's eastern shore and You know it in maryland you have close proximity to or used to have the colts and the redskins and now obviously the ravens and whatever you wanna call the redskins football team so both of them are in very close proximity seventy right down the beltway from each other. So the dynamic of the two teams together like that it a lot of friction And split the fan base. So i was fascinated by part of it. It'd being on the eastern shore. It wasn't as provincial. As it was in the rest of maryland northern i'm marilyn was all colts all all baltimore and then as you got down into the southern counties maryland it was more redskins and was like a demarcation line but You know the genesis of the documentary was in college when the colts left the baltimore. And when i grew up with the colts and so did all my friends and on on sunday. The mid eighties. You know i was still redskin fan. I like the colts to you. Know my favorite player was bur- jones but on a on a sunday would see that there was a whole base of fans that were basically lost. You know they weren't going to root for the redskins and their team was gone And you know so. I thought it was a fascinating story. It's something in the back of my mind. When i started making films that i thought would be a story to to really delve.

"You'll see the the the feature there goes with their third street. It's all there it's it's a. It's a fantastic. Well then it's only an hour But it it cuts right to the chase and it really is instructive and it. It's it's it's haunting It's it's happy full of memories. it's also very disdainful for the way things sort of happened at it. Certainly very hopeful. Of course the ravens franchise now for better or for worse carries on that legacy of the colts franchise inelegant as that history had wound up becoming but Moving forward from it and all that. So here's our conversation. Come up with troy and just a moment or two and it's it's a great one and if you're a colts fan or you remember the old. Afl remember the afc battles of the colts You'll enjoy the conversation immensely a few promotional things to get out of the way this weekend. Why not celebrate the legacy of the baltimore colton and frankly baltimore football history for that matter with a couple of great sponsors this week. How 'bout four seventeen helmets. That's four one seven helmets. Four seventeen helmets dot com promo code good seats for ten percent of all of your many helmets purchases and while there are. There's a indianapolis colts Helmet there. I you know i certainly you can check that one out but to interesting baltimore offerings. That might be helpful in in the span of this conversation. One of is the baltimore stallions. Efl many of you may remember in our previous conversations Around the cfl the baltimore stallions. They were known as the baltimore. Cfl colts for a cup of coffee. And then this the baltimore. Cfl's and a whole bunch of other sort of informal names but make no mistake of the colors and the stadium was if aug. on purpose frankly of the old colts franchising in many respects. The the arrival of the cfl brand of football in baltimore was the impetus to finally Once again get an nfl franchise not the expansion version but a relocation version and one commemorate that and how about a truly lost to history Version of the baltimore football legacy the baltimore bombers remember them probably don't but they were The team that was proposed by the Various ownership folks and and team officials and city officials at in the early nineties when the nfl was looking to award Expansion franchise nineteen ninety-three to be exact. The baltimore bombers were the name and logo and all that stuff the glazer family one to actually by the tampa bay buccaneers Were part of that effort. And alas the nfl decided to go south into both jacksonville and charlotte the carolina panthers for those two expansion franchises and thus obviously opening the door for cleveland moved to baltimore become the all that kind of stuff we get into that but the bombers many helmet is is cool. The logo is really neat and as a great history behind that too those are just the two of the many many very cool mini helmet offerings. That they make a.
