A highlight from LGM Podcast: NFC Preview
"This is how, this is how Kellen Clemens ends up playing for 17 years in the NFL. This is the Lawyer's Guns and Money Podcast. All right, well, shall we move on to the NFC now? Absolutely. All right, well, let us talk the NFC East, which is an interesting division in the sense that you have a Cowboys team, which is every year is the year they're about to go back to the Super Bowl, and then it never happens ever, ever, ever. An Eagles team that certainly should be very good. A Giants team that is interesting, I think, and a Washington team I don't believe in at all. But at least Daniel Snyder is not in control anymore. There's probably two wins right there. So projections, and again, for somebody like models always love the Cowboys. Once again, Cowboys 11 wins, Eagles 10, the Giants 6 .4, so models not high on the Giants. I think I understand why, although they certainly could beat that. And actually, the commanders actually have a higher win projection. I scrolled too far. They're actually 7 .6. So the model actually likes the commanders a little bit more than the Giants, which is not absolutely unreasonable, although I don't think that's how most people would pick it. So first of all, this is another case where at the top of the division, I think the model is pretty clearly wrong, and not because I think the Cowboys are, but again, the models do not know who's coaching the team. That's one thing, and is now taking over the play calling. So McCarthy's amazing because it's like three and a half quarters of literally just calling plays from the first screen of Madden. And then when the game's on the line, having your running back direct snap to your punter or some shit, it's not good. And look, the Cowboys are a very talented team. Micah Parsons, probably the best defensive player in football. They've got a great secondary. I think getting rid of Elliott, who they basically had to force feed to justify paying him is actually a plus. Dagg, it's a little hard to say, but there's certainly a substantial fluctuation in performance there, but he's generally good. It's generally a good regular season team. I still like them as much as the Eagles. I mean, I think I heard somewhere that Jalen Hurts was paying like nine to one for MVP. I like that a lot, especially if Mahomes misses a couple of games. I mean, he was legitimately outstanding. And, you know, I guess there's, you know, people may want to see it for another year. I can understand that, but he looks good. Obviously, they have an excellent offensive line, excellent skill talent. Yeah. I mean, the defense will probably regress. And it was a bit of a, you know, the one thing about the Eagles is that it was the defense is a bit of a front runner. You know, like it was very good against bad teams, but it got shredded pretty badly when it had to go up against really elite teams with the exception of, you know, the Niners who were, you know, I think, I think, I think Kyle Shannon actually took 10 steps in that game. But, you know, when they actually had to play a good quarterback, like it's a good defense, don't get me wrong. You know, I don't think they're going to, you know, set any sack records again. But to me, they're clearly the class of the division. They're a better coach than the Cowboys. You know, and I think they're a little more consistent throughout the roster. You know, but obviously those are two really good teams. You know, I think that my guess is that what the model says about the Giants is that they're incredibly lucky to have that record last year so that, you know, they can actually improve a little bit, but given like more normal luck and a tougher schedule can actually win fewer games.
The Garden Question
A highlight from 124 - Sculpting Nature: The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted - Kirk R. Brown
"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. It's been over 200 years since he was born. People still absorb his parks and public gardens in more than 5 ,000 communities across the North American continent. The goal is to give the common man in this new world the same opportunities to experience creation as any king in his private preserve in the Old World. Frederick Law Olmsted is prevalently pronounced the father of American landscape architecture. In this episode, Kurt R. Brown interprets Frederick Law Olmsted. Kurt is a member of the International Garden Communicators Hall of Fame. He is a green achiever being recognized with many industrial awards. He represented Joanne Kostecki Garden Design as a leader in the design bill industry. At America's oldest garden in Charleston, South Carolina, he worked as national outreach coordinator. He is the past president of GardenCom. In the U .S. and Canada, he's delivered hundreds of keynote addresses, guest lectures, teaching symposia, and certified instruction over the past quarter of a century. He's also known to interpret historic horticulturalists and international dignitaries as John Bartram, Frederick Law Olmsted, among many others. He still finds time to cultivate his own private display garden. Join him now as he unveils his views of Olmsted. This is Episode 124, Sculpturing Nature. The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted with Kurt R. Brown Interpreting, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 63. Mr. Olmsted, would you take us back to when you were 36 years old and tell us what was your most valuable mistake up to that point? I sometimes have problems remembering what happened yesterday. Remembering what happened when I was 36 takes me to a point in time where I felt that I would never wake up, that somehow whatever hope I had of being properly engaged in an adult employment was never going to occur. However, it was at a time when seemingly everything in the world that I had touched or attempted had turned to dross. With that, when you are at the bottom, looking up from the bottom of that big black pit that you feel yourselves in, God smiles sometimes. And when he smiles, he puts in front of you an opportunity that unless you'd been in that pit of despair, you wouldn't think was a positive. I went over the brink of bankruptcy with a publishing company that my father had financed to put me on my feet in the world of communicating, largely garden communicating. But in that day, when publishers have cash in the drawer and decide that it's better in their pockets and they skip town, I was left holding an empty bag. When my sanity was at risk, there were a group of friends, Dutch elders from the state of New York, who looked at me in my circumstance and they said, without much thinking about it, we have a job for you, sir. And this was from Washington Irving, whom you might have heard, James Hamilton, the Cooper Hewitt later, and David Dudley Field, among many, many others, they said in response to my question, what is this job all about? They said, we believe that from your practical training as an agriculturist, from all of your horticultural writings, from your talents and from your obvious character, I took them at their word on that, we believe you eminently qualified for the duties of the Office of Superintendent of the capital T, the Central Park of New York. They wanted me to be a crew leader of one of the largest public works projects that had been undertaken since the construction of the pyramids. They thought by giving me this job, it would put my feet under my own table and allow me to support the family that I had inherited and adopted after my brother's death. So you see, this is a laugh because being a construction foreman on a landscape project the size of Central Park allowed me into other rooms and gave me the ability to meet other people, most notably among them, Calvert Vox. Of course, from that participation, from that connection, from that wonderful start at 36, climbing out of the black pit and going on into the greater international world of garden design. That's how you find me, sir. From that point till now, you have to consider all of the other doors that opened, designing the country's first great urban and public park. It was a democratization of space. That's the most important aspect that we were driving. All of the big parks of the old world were private preserves, were aristocratic in their founding or country homes of the elite and money. They were not open to the general public. Here we were designing a space, an urban space of green that would allow people at all levels of income to rub elbows and participate in a great and refreshing space. Out of that, the other things that came to my table were the obvious connections of making plans for residential subdivisions. I was ultimately asked to design a world's fair. And in that regard, I was one of the few who designed a fair that actually made money. Mostly the cities in which the Olmsted partnership worked were green belts. It wasn't just one isolated urban jewel. They were a necklace. They were a green necklace surrounding all of the major cities in which we did work, involving and parkways park sides with garden views. And with all of that, the infrastructure that necessarily came along with the design was an increasing awareness of public health and sanitation. I was also involved at the beginning of the American Red Cross with standardizing field operations, with organizing national outreach and coordination, and with putting women in nursing wards. I was also there at the beginning in trying to inventory the natural resources of Yosemite, and that began the National Parks Movement. I also encouraged managed forestry. I was the first person here in this country to hire a forester to help develop plans for management of 137 ,000 acres in Biltmore, not less. Governor Pinchot, as he later came to be known, was the first man that held the post at the National Center where he managed the national parks and forests. I was always involved in garden communication. I was a syndicated New York Times columnist. I was an abolitionist. I believe strongly in the development of cemetery arboretum where families could mourn the death of their loved ones. And I was the first one to be recognized for the design implementation and successful development of riparian restoration using early sustainable practices, because overarching all of these individual jobs, I believe that environmental health was also humanities welfare. Eventually, many of the things that we did for the first time or did for all of those who came later to ask us to repeat our success, eventually we codified most of the things that we were doing, and we were there at the beginning writing a syllabus for the American Society of Landscape Architects when Harvard graduated its first class. That's the beginning. And through it, we've tried to reach a point that you can look back and decide whether what we do, whether creating public parks, whether recognizing national parks, whether doing things as a green infrastructural implementation, whether that is garden design, whether it is landscape design or whether it is landscape architecture. I have certainly left the responsibility of that to all of the generations that came since the implementation of Central Park of New York. So let's look at the Central Park of New York. Where you started to turn around was when you got the job as superintendent. How did you make the jump from superintendent to being credited as the designer and builder of Central Park? I would never accept that title. I was mentored by a man far greater than I. His name was Andrew Jackson Downing, and he lived upstate New York. The concept of Central Park and the concept of public urban horticulture was his. He was the first man here in this country to successfully write that there was a model to be offered and followed in the development of landscape practices. He wrote and published a book in 1841 called A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening. It was his idea in the 1840s what he called the picturesque landscape has great advantage for the common man. The raw materials of grass, water, and woods are at once appropriated with so much effect and so little art in the picturesque mode, and the charm is so great. You'll recall that 200 years ago I was born. It was also the same year that Napoleon died. There was a great turning where people decided it was no longer appropriate to design landscapes in the French style. The formality of trimmed hedges and topiaries and the development of boxed and hothouse grown examples of tropical horticulture. What they wanted was a natural or romantic view of the world. Downing's response to that was his development of the picturesque here in North America. So while the international turned on what was their term called romanticism, Downing's belief was that it needed to be picturesque. He brought a man from England who was just spectacular with the development of line and architectural standards. His name was Calvert Vaux. So we had Calvert Vaux doing all of the housing plans for Downing's models. Downing began a magazine called The Horticulturist where he promoted all of the values of horticulture and agriculture, how to design, creating a design for living. He encouraged all of us to plant spacious parks in our cities and unclose their gates as wide as the gates of mourning to the whole people. I was a very small part of the initial concept when they were looking for the construction foreman. Downing had been killed in a steamboat accident on the Hudson River. While they were searching for the plan, they had more than 30 proposals submitted for what Central Park was to become. Calvert Vaux had a concept and he asked me if I would join him in its presentation to the committee. My thought was that a proper city park should provide escape from the city. We solved all of the inherent problems of the design so that nature of the space would be one of unending vistas of green and the lawns would seem to go on forever. With Vaux asking me to be a partner, at that low point in my life, my answer was an unqualified sir, this partnership is on. We called our design and our proposal Greensward. I would still think of it with that name. Of course, everyone else has just taken it to heart and made it Central Park. I was 36 years old. I had a neighbor in Hartford as I was growing up and then on the speaking circuit in later years and Mark Twain, you might know him as Samuel Longhorns Clemens, said that age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. What were some of the challenges in the implementation of the Central Park design? The money was coming from Albany and the old Dutch money that still remained somewhat in the Tammany Hall organization of downtown New York politics would get their hands on the money before it would feed through to enrich, encourage and grow the project. The old Dutch burghers wanted an honest man as the paymaster. And so at the end of those long days, I was the man handing money to the day workers with cash on the barrelhead, paying them for moving the hundreds and hundreds and millions of cubic yards of soil that was transported to do those effortless looking hills and dales and rambles that became Central Park. The park itself is a democratic development of the highest significance. We can never, never, ever forget that public urban horticulture is that. It is the extreme expression of democracy. And simply put, we were looking at the three grand elements of Downing's definition of picturesque or pastoral landscape. Those three elements remain the same today as they were then. The symphony of grass, water and woods joined together with many, many artificial tricks of the trade into one uncommon space. At Central Park, we also added what would be in our concept the only sculptural element that was to be included in the final design. That was the Bethesda Fountain. With Bethesda, we wanted it to be similar to the quote from the New Testament, John chapter 5, verse 4, for an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had. This becoming a place of union for all of those tired and poor of the city who would otherwise not have a green space with good public water. It became that, certainly, after the Civil War and even up until these days when the symbol of the fountain, that angel of the waters that was given to the first woman who ever won a sculptural commission in the city of New York later to become angels in America. Through all of this, that symbol of health and well -being has been guarded through all of its artistic progress. What other, as you referred to them as, tricks in the landscape design were implemented in the park? There were requirements, as most things are. They had to have cross streets, but we didn't want to interrupt the view of green. We sunk the roads, and it was unique in its concept because all of those cross streets that were mandated in the design brief were not seen once you were at grade or at the park level, so that all of the sheep's meadow and the grand lawns of Central Park were seemingly undivided and the cars would travel underneath that layer. The other thing was fresh water. The 800 and some odd acres of Central Park had to include what was an existing reservoir. The walk around the reservoir had to be included in the acreage, and to do that, we made the north part of the park into what I called a ramble. If you take the word ramble, it puts me back into my childhood. I had rides with my father and mother in the woods and fields. In those days, we were in search of the, well, the picturesque. Any man then who sees things differently than the mass of ordinary men is classified as one who has a defect of the eye and a defect of the brain. Who would think that you could move mountains to create a distant view while the cross -street thoroughfares of a major urban environment would traffic unwitnessed with the calm and peace of nature around you? In later years, it gave the common man access to a broader world. In the early days, when the park first opened, what we discovered is that entrepreneurs of the city would get a chance to meet and greet people who were not of or in their class, and everyone came together on the lake to ice skate. That had never been accomplished in an urban environment before, where the lowest and the highest achieved self -standing stature over a pair of ice skates. What other ways did you incorporate the blending of the classes? There were several types of road. There were access roads for tradesmen, and then there were the carriage trade highways that would tour the park and allowed for another whole type of merchant in the hiring of horse -drawn vehicles that are still there, conveying tourists into and around the park today because of the way the layout was designed. We also included space for a zoo and for ornamental horticulture in the display of flowers. It also gave space for the Metropolitan Museum, and then as you'll see over all these years, many, many other opportunities for people to regard themselves highly by installing other busts and portraiture. There's Cleopatra's Needle, which was that large obelisk that came from Egypt that has its own following up above the museum. It's all part and parcel of creating the ambiance of nature in an artificial way. You had some experiences of your own in a walking tour in England. How did those influence your view of design, and how did you take those and implement them in the park? The only difference is that in England, what we were looking at in the assortment of grass, water, and woods was that most of the developed areas were done for members of the aristocracy. They were country homes at the time. Previous generation, they were landscapes designed and achieved by Lancelot. They called him Capability Brown. Those assortments of grass, water, and woods were no different in concept, really, for the public parks that we were designing. The only difference is that in public funded projects, they had access for people of all social classes. There was no admission, no gate. I've heard it said you become who you hang out with. Tell us about some of the people that you have surrounded yourself with.

He's the man accused of being the getaway driver from Maurice Clemens after Clemens shot and killed four Lakewood police officers at a coffee shop in 2009. Previous trials ended in a conviction that was overturned on appeal and a hung jury. The new tribune reports the jury in this third trial began their deliberations. Yesterday. Police in snohomish are searching for a man they say robbed four people at gunpoint along the riverfront trail, Kimmel force Theron's on has more. The trailer is used by locals looking for a quiet walk, crime like this pretty rare around here. Police say around 9 last night, four people were walking here when a man came up to them with a gun and demanded the women hand over their purses, investigators say he took the purses and then ran off, no one was hurt. Now, some police dogs were brought in to try to track down the man, but the trail went cold. Police say he was a white man 6 feet tall with a blue jacket, black pants, and red shoes. It's a pretty murky area when it happened. It was dark down there. So clearly, it was not a lot to be seen, but they did get a pretty decent look at the guy as he ran away.

WSP says that suspect is a white man in his 30s with short, dark hair and facial hair. Anyone who saw what happened or has any information on the driver or this car is asked to contact WSP immediately. It's come up for his Kelly koopmans. Still a lot of heated debate in Olympia on what to do about the state Supreme Court ruling two years ago that decriminalized drug possession, but legislation is moving ahead and carleen Johnson has the details. The Senate bill is advancing that would make most drug possession a gross misdemeanor instead of a felony, while also encouraging substance use treatment. Democratic senator June Robinson is the prime sponsor. My goal here is to provide options for diversion and treatment and services all along the path for people who are found in possession. But as crosscut reports, lawmakers remain sharply divided over how we should really treat drug use and treatment, many Republicans want to return to having drug possession be a felony. Some Democrats want total decriminalization of drugs. If approved, this measure would make the knowing possession of a controlled substance a gross misdemeanor that's a step up from the current crime of a simple misdemeanor, but less than the felony penalty that the court struck down. There is a public hearing scheduled for tomorrow morning in the Senate ways and means committee. Carly Johnson northwest news radio.

"Thank you very much for that. I had a front row seat for that. How you doing? Because I owned Carmelo Martinez. And when that ball was hit, and I'm watching it go towards bragging. I'm going, oh my God, if that goes over the beds, this is gonna get ugly. And you know, he reached up, he grabbed it and the rest is history, but I'm in the bullpen warming up and you know the bullpens where they were. Yes. They're right next to reveal. So, you know, having to sit there and watch that close and know that loot didn't bring me in to face Carmelo, that that made my heart sake a little bit, but I knew Randy after he got that out. He was fine. Yes. And indeed, they were and we know what happened in the 1990 World Series.

"It lacks the belief that this guy was one of the best that ever played. And Roger Clemens real quick. Why it does it diminish. I mean, obviously, this is a Red Sox beat podcast. And Roger Clemens, you can make the case for Pedro Martinez, but Roger Clemens over a longer period of time, the greatest Red Sox picture ever. And I include Babe Ruth and that discussion, I just think that Roger Clemens, what he did in a Red Sox uniform, I don't think we'll ever see again. And remember, it's not just what he's doing the day he pitches the days he doesn't pitch. He's helping the other pitchers. He's talking to them and you're going over line ups. You know, he's helping the catchers call games. You know, there's so many little things that can be missed. That's what baseball is. Baseball is sharing of information. I used to always joke about it. It's like, you know, when you see a hitter come back from the play, he's like a little ant. He goes over there in tennis meat. You know, what's this guy throwing? You know, they tell each other little tidbits of information. So roger was a living encyclopedia while he played. So he was helping all the other pictures on the staff, helping the catchers, helping the defenders, you know, so roger is not just pitching, you know, roger is a player coach. And so from the time he was young to time he developed and established himself in Toronto developed a fork ball became one of the most dominant pitchers again, one another side young in Houston, I think he was 40 or 41, you know, no amount of drug taking is going to make you that special. I don't care what anybody says. There's a lot of football players in their Hall of Fame that you steroids throughout their careers. I liken it more to, you know, how am I going to get on the field? How do I get back on the field? So I can do what I'm the best at. And, you know, when I look at a lot of the guys in football that did it, it destroyed their lives personally. So many guys have died early, wrestlers that have died early. These guys, they gave up the unknown for the love of the game. Not some of it was greed, some of it was other stuff that I can't speak for them. But watching that guy do his thing for 24 years, the day he said he was not going to play anymore. I was sad because I respected how well he approached his job and how well he did his job. All right, our day smash factory dot.

"Put something next to it, say, hey, listen, from this date to this date, believe to have done this. That's tough, that's up to the Hall of Fame. That's their museum. You know, the writers are just the people that are supposed to be promoting the Hall of Fame. They're not supposed to be keeping people out of the Hall of Fame. That's the problem I have with the vote today. It needs to be changed. Baseball didn't lose today, the great bands did, not having a generation and not having generational players like Clemens and bonds in cooperstown is a joke, said and tweeted one rob devil yesterday afternoon after the news that in your smiling and laughing and hope I did it justice reading it after the news that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens on their tenth shot at the Hall of Fame did not get in. Dibs, that's why have you on? Because let me stop you Mike. Let me stop you. Go ahead. So all of those memories that my favorite thing when I go back to Cincinnati is when someone says, you made these memories for me in my family. That is the best compliment that I've ever gotten. So all of the memories that help build ESPN and Fox and TBS and everybody else at MLB dot com. All of the memories, all of the history that was made during whatever dates or whatever you're just going to try to make it seem like it didn't happen. And that's what I mean by that tweet. It's not just clemons and bonds. I mean, those are the guys the top tier Hall of Fame guys that to me, it's not shocking that they're not getting in, but there's a lot of other guys. Raphael palmero look at his statistics. Unbelievably unquestionably one of the greatest hitters I ever had to face. Not in the Hall of Fame. Many Ramirez to me. Best right handed hitter for 20 years that ever played this game, not in the Hall of Fame, not even close. Got less percentage of votes than a rod. So that, to me, it's far more deep than just a couple of guys. There's a lot of guys that were in this Mitchell report that were in the balco book, the game of shadows that were in Jose canseco's book. There's a lot of these guys that were never tested positive and certainly were told it was okay while they were playing that to me that that bothers me the most. You know, to not have them in there to explain the history from 19 85 to 2015, to me, I mean, you know, that's the part of history you can't erase. You faced Barry Bonds obviously, and you faced him in the 1990 national league championship series when you were MVP. What made him unlike any hitter you've ever faced? First of all, bat speed, best basket I've ever faced, you know, and whether it was Tony Gwynn or George Brad or anybody like that. They had amazing eyesight, I think and hand eye coordination..

"And I know this, it's not actually connected to Major League Baseball. No, it's not. And that's why when I glad you brought this up because when people say that he's banned from Major League Baseball, well, that has nothing to do with a national baseball Hall of Fame that's not officially connected with Major League Baseball, putting him in their hall has nothing to do with it whatsoever. Again, comes down to a ridiculous archaic, if I can say arcane, morality clause. And if you want to tell the story of baseball, professional baseball, which obviously Major League Baseball is maybe 95% of that, what have you. Then go ahead and include a description of their entire career good and bad and let it be and be done with this stupid hypocritical approach of not allowing certain players in and allowing other players in when the whole group of them have done something unsavory toward the sport. Let me just bring this up and I know people will be like, well, what does this have to do with the performance and drugs? What if Justin Verlander one day is up for the Hall of Fame? Are we going to bring up 2017 what they did with the Astros? Because that's where the egregious that's ever hit this game. Yet their World Series stands. They enjoy wearing these rings around a lot of them are really arrogant in the way that they talk about it. Like we did nothing wrong. So I kind of correlate that to some of these performance enhancing drug guys. They're fine. The records are still standing, which infuriates me. You know, you had a commissioner that could have balanced the book, so to speak. And didn't. And at the same time, now you're going to have Justin Verlander up for the Hall of Fame, one of his greatest years traded in the middle of that year. If they don't get Verlander, they don't win that championship. I truly believe that. And so now he's going to be he's going to be eligible for the Hall of Fame, yet they probably won't even bring that up. They'll be like, just like, you know what? To me, you can't throw history under the rug. You can't hide it. And, you know, having played in the era of and it's not just the steroids. It's not just the aged the amphetamines were worse. Worse. Trust me when I say this. And to make it seem like that didn't even happen. That to me just shows you the people don't know what they're talking about. So if you want the complete history, all of the and the amphetamines go back to the 40s and 50s. Absolutely. Even Hank Aaron acknowledged this when he was kind of rust his soul when he was alive. He acknowledged the fact that everybody was doing them. Yeah. And so for guys to be more focused, more alert, being able to run faster and work out and do whatever they're doing, you know, the use of a drug, you know, to me, it's like, just stop. Like, you just said, you know, stop put the morality, put the right people in there that belong in there because it still is a very difficult Hall of Fame to get into. You know, I'm still bitter about Ron Santo. He was putting posthumously. Buck O'Neal put in posthumously. There's a bunch of other guys that deserve to be in the whole thing. Listen, we haven't talked about mania Ramirez yet. We haven't talked about Gary Sheffield, Jimmy Ron and a rod shilling, all these guys belong to be in the Hall of Fame, but if you want to.

"Afternoon drive. It's Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut and the signal comes out of Springfield, so people in southern Massachusetts can hear the show as well. Awesome. All right, let's get to the less savory part of this podcast. The ramp part. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens belong in the Hall of Fame. To me, if you want to solve this ridiculousness of the morality clause, which I thought Jason stark had a great point, you know, baseball writers don't serve as great morality police. I'm paraphrasing, but that's what he wrote this week. Of the athletic. And I think he's dead on. The way you solve this in my estimation. As a professional baseball writers of America writer, way you solve it is by letting them in, voting them in on their merits, and then on their plaque, indicating what pretenses they were voted in under what happened in their career, tell the whole story on their plaque and let people judge for themselves. What kind of character they had, good, bad, and indifferent. What do you think? Well, I mean there's this it's so deep a discussion. But, you know, part of seeing bud ceiling in the Hall of Fame, Joe Torrey Bobby Cox Sony la Russa who managed guys that you steroids or performance enhancing drugs. I talked about this on my show yesterday. They didn't outlaw amphetamines Mike till 2008. Performs enhancing drugs to me amphetamines were far more rampant than steroids. And I played in the era. Yes. And I know you said this before. Right. Yeah. To have a commissioner in the Hall of Fame and these managers in the Hall of Fame that all benefited from these players is hypocritical.

"At his foot and his fingertips. And the way David Ortiz dealt with me and dealt with others in a genuine manner just adds to what his likeability factor in my estimation. And I agree with you. I mean, listen, my favorite teammates are still my best Friends. And my family. And, you know, those are guys that you could count on regardless of what you're doing in the world. I mean, so, you know, for David, I think he tried to lift up his teammates lift up his family as relatives and then the community, all by his actions. And I think very few of us can say that we live our lives that way, but like you said, he's authentic. He's genuine. And at the end of the day, I honestly think he should be separated by guys that played in another era. I mean, you know, it would have been awkward, even though bonds and Clemens and shilling and everybody else, David Ortiz should be allowed to just go in and not have a distraction of, even if it was Pete Rose. You know if they said, hey, Pete eligible. No, we'll get to that. Yeah, you'd have fanfare of a different sort for other people. So I just think that, you know, with some of the guys that he's going to go in that were voted from the veterans committee, he by all means deserves to kind of be by himself and enjoy his time going in and being enshrined. Okay, one more point on David Ortiz and I want to make this personal for you as a former ace closer reliever in Major League Baseball Joaquin Benoit. Put yourselves, put yourself in his shoes as you were many, many times in your career. 8th inning, up 5 one up one game to nothing in the American League championship series in 2013.

I have a very special guest to bring in to the show and that is one rob devil, one of the three nasty boys of the 1990 World Series champion Cincinnati reds 1990 national league championship series MVP. Rob dibble. He appears weekly on the rob dibble show on ESPN 97 9. I got that right, right? You did. Yes. I just want to make sure I get all the details in before we jump into the meat of the show. Anyway, okay, let's I told you this right before we started and I'm going to tell this to our audience. We're going to do the good news, the happy positive news. And then we're going to rant. So here we go. First of all, David Ortiz gets in on the first ballot. 58th player ever to get in on the first ballot in the national baseball Hall of Fame in cooperstown. I don't think it was really, I don't think there was any ever any doubt Dan shaughnessy of The Boston Globe. He was a contrarian. He did not vote for him, but I think for the most part we understand that David Ortiz belongs in the Hall of Fame. Certainly, with all due respect to Edgar Martinez, the greatest designated hitter ever in the history of the game, it was interesting to me what Sam Kennedy, the president and CEO of the Red Sox said, the greatest player ever to wear a Red Sox uniform. But first of all, I want to get into your thoughts on what to you, David Ortiz meant as a Red Sox player and it's a great one of the great generational players we've had over the last 25 years. Well, I mean, I absolutely think he's a Hall of Famer. And I don't distinguish the difference between the first ballot and the tenth or the 15th back in the day. Your Hall of Famer, you're always going to be a Hall of Famer. And really, you know, your peers look at you and say, you know, that guy's royalty. So when I look at David Ortiz, I say, you know, he's baseball royalty. A great ambassador for the game because there's a character clause in voting for the Hall of Fame..

"But what are your feelings on Pete Rose and whether or not he should be or not included in the Hall of Fame. Well, uh, the thing I love Pete, with very bonds and Roger Clemens different reasons, but the same thing in very in Roger's case, um, you can throw Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in there is well Um, whether you have the concrete evidence, there's enough empirical evidence that they did something against the game. You know they did something to gain an advantage in the game. And you should pay the penalty for that if Pete had just bet on baseball As Joe citizen, and especially in light of all the betting we can do now, I probably would say teach should be in. But the fact that Pete was betting while serving as the manager of the Reds. I think that has to exclude him because you just can't have somebody inside the game with the ability, perhaps to manipulate the outcome. Being allowed to gamble. Yeah, it's it's a tough one. I was told by Ah long time baseball. Uh, guy, uh, that that is still writing for baseball. He thinks Pete Rose will Get eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame, but it will be posthumously. Yeah, I've heard I've heard the same thing. And I think that's kind of one of the things that you know in that little bit of, uh, acrimony between the baseball writers and now the Veterans Committee and Pete That, um, you know whether it's petty or not, Yeah, they'll put him in because his numbers obviously deserve its inclusion. Same with bonds. But and Clemens, for that matter, too, But But I don't think they're going to put them in while they could quote. Enjoy it, Unquote if you will. Yep. Jack. Thanks for the time.

"And I get it. It is a special place, but how protective some of these writers are in some of these voters are and how it needs to be a standard more of just on the field. You have to be a good guy. Or you had to do things the clean way that I don't get. I'm not saying you should look at Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Maybe the same way. You look at a Babe Ruth. Or maybe the same way you look at a Hank Aaron or you look at a Sandy Koufax or Nolan Ryan. Whoever it may be. We know that Barry Bonds cheated. We know that Roger Clemens cheated. But what's the goal of the Hall of Fame? The goal. The Hall of Fame, in my opinion is to put the greatest players of all time in the Hall of Fame. And I can't tell the story of baseball without Roger Clemens. And without Barry Bonds, I'm not saying you gotta celebrate them. I'm not saying you gotta love them. I'm not saying that you have to be happy that they're in the Hall of fame. But it is without a doubt in my mind that they should be Hall of Famers. We're talking about a guy. And Roger Corman's clean or not, and we know he wasn't clean, had seven Cy Young awards. He won the world serious twice. He won the Triple Crown twice. He led the M O B and wins four tons. He went to the All Star Game 11 Tons. Barry Bonds, 17 and 11 VPs was a 14 time All Star. But the NL in home runs twice batting champion twice. There's still two the all time great players I've ever seen. Now, you could say Zack. They didn't do it clean. Absolutely. They didn't do it clean for their entire career. They did not do it the right way to tell that story. That's part of the story, but to admit them from the Hall of Fame, I just I'm not on board with it. Can't get behind keeping these guys out of the whole thing. Because if you ask me a 15 20 years from now It was some of the greatest baseball players that you've ever seen, even with 15 20 more years going. Is anyone gonna pass? We're not too many people are gonna pass what Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens did so baseball for a while. I had no problem with what was going on. So now we're going to just pretend At this era didn't exist, and we're gonna human erase history. That I'm not on board with. Put him in, tell their story. Tell their history. I hate though the process of the Hall of Fame and I think the vote should be more diversified. I really I think you should be diversified. Let's get it out of the hands of just writers. They could continue to have the majority the vote, but let's open this up to guys that are living in the Hall of Fame. Let's open this up. Also the team broadcasters, you're telling me Vince Scully? Doesn't get a vote. Come on. And even events. Scully may vote for a Dodger, too. That shouldn't be in. That's not going to get that guy in over the top. What the agenda is definitely come into effect here. Because someone doesn't like a guy because someone didn't talk to him. Or you have voters that think they're a whole lot more important than than they are. And they have to play morale, police and all because this guy cheated. We can't put him in. Because this guy Says ridiculous things. I'm not excusing what Curt Schilling said. I'll be abundantly clear on that for the 19 time when I brought this up in the segment, but because he had Just crazy things that he said an awful things that he said. Oh, you know, we can't put him the whole thing. It doesn't take away. In my opinion from the stats, you may think of Curt Schilling differently. You may think of Barry Bonds differently. You may think of Roger Clemens differently, but still when we talk about their history, we say that all three a great baseball players The waiting has been going on long enough. It's time to put them in. And I don't like how Curt Schilling went about it yesterday. And I don't think they should take him off the ballot continue to go through the process, but the process does need to change. This is not something I've been saying recently. I said this for a while. Said it for a while. Make the minimum 12 some years. It's tough to keep it a 10. I think that's 100%. So if you need to do but something you could consider and also Hall of Fame players get a vote. Team broadcasters get a vote because how many guys have uncovered baseball for a while, they still get votes. Fact they told Dan Lebatard to get out of town when he let the fans vote. On his ballot. His belt was actually pretty damn good. Baseball, too. I understand what you're protective the Hall of Fame, but the standards are too ridiculous. You like Pudge? In one punch Did stakes are its only God knows But we can't put Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens in There's no consistency and I'll be consistent here. Not only should Clemens not only should bonds get in, I put Sosa and I put Maguire and and you know what There's one more to appease all Pete Rose. He rose cheated..

He is Bob Nightingale does a great job Now is the Hall of Fame Voter, of course, but it's a USA Today. Sports Major League Baseball calmness He is here, thanks to the Goodyear Hotline. Bob. A lot of people did not join you. But Curt Schilling was one that made the most noise saying You know what I got close, But I'm not going to get in. It's because of my political views. And yes, I'm paraphrasing. What are your thoughts on some, not voting him in or void for Curt Schilling because of the political things that he has leaned towards in the last 3 to 4 years. Widely that I just spoke of use, but just you know what a hatred out there? Um you like things, he said. I mean, Maria Rivera, the was his biggest Trump supporter. As any athlete, he was unanimous pick. So it wasn't just, you know, Pope of you just you know, I think, you know, spearing stuff from hatred involved things like that. And he was the only guy in the balance the handle, you know? Added chances here and he shouldn't you should have got it without Twitter of these A slam dunk again in now, you know, he said he doesn't want to be considered in the war. You know, I think he might be done. That last part for people who don't know card, Schilling has said. Remove me from the ballot for next year when you saw that, and he's that close because he probably gets in to Cooperstown next year. If he's on the ballot. What was your reaction? Well, wasn't that surprised in in the sense where And he should have gone in this year and they had over 7% last year. He should have easily got in over. You know, 80%, maybe 85%. So I don't think he gets in, You know, no matter what, Even if you didn't say that. Even if he stays off Twitter next year, So maybe it's a chance. But he is going to double down and keep on using Twitter and everything else. So I don't think he was going to get in. And I really don't I think there's only chance to get in is really stay off social media and the miners will say we'll get you we're gonna put you in any way. How much of that is right wrong. Or maybe it is indifferent. I don't know. But, Freddie Now we're talking about this in a pre show meeting. What is Twitter? What is your political views have to do with how you played the game. It really doesn't mean it's just I think just a hatred involved everything else. Senator supporting your the insurrection that the White House and things like that, But he didn't do that as a player. That's why I voted for him. It wasn't you know Twitter was around. He was doing that stuff You wanted about it and tore up the clubhouse. Dad didn't happen, so that's why he got my vote. Because it's happening in this career of his life. You know what? Whatever it is, he's doing it and then and then affect him as a player, So that's right. Voted for the guy. Bob Nightingale, USA Today Sports Major League Baseball Kanis and also Baseball Hall of Fame voter joining us here in Freddy and Fitz Simmons on ESPN Radio, the ESPN APP and XM Channel 80. Even Curt Schilling put out there on Twitter, saying, I'm being lumped in with two guys who violated the game on paraphrase when it comes to steroids, meaning Barry Bonds and also Roger Clemens, and that's why he said that you should just take my name off the ballot because I'm tired of that guilt by association. He's not the first guy that has gone through something of your guilt by association. Certain virus didn't get along certain players certain players and get on other players. But yet those guys got into the baseball Hall of Fame. Let's say for argument's sake and play along with Bob. If he does get the majority of the vote next year. What is a liar? Kirsten is going to say my bad. I was just kidding. This is a great honor. Oh, I think you would say that. I think people of that gun Oh, my God. If he gets an inductive, the Hall of Famer like the Hall of Fame what's again, said Defection ceremony. I think you were stuck straight to baseball. I think you have been a homo buddy honor. And I still believe the same thing. If he gets in, you know, he'd be humbled by it and everything else, you know, but I think at some point these guys say he really wants in. And then when you said, stay up social media, no controversy. I don't think it's a chance. Otherwise, I think you will say You know what? Since nobody got in this year, my balance crowded bunch of guys put up with 10 guys. Oh, don't take him up about just so they could squeeze somebody else in Bob, you have some hard liners like your old friend Randy Galloway is a mentor. Mind who are not going to vote for, as he calls on the roid guys.

Okay, they're talking about Mike yacht surge of Bagwell or blood. Rodriguez. You know, it's like, why aren't we living in two best guys of that early era? I'm going to the cleaners, players who haven't lent I'm not in so they've always had my ballot. My vote on the ballot, but the data you're eligible the first two days I check off every year. So I think it's a joke. They're not in the Hall of fame. You know why we penalize these guys were letting everybody else in, you know. Are we really going toe? You guys gonna vote for Alex Rodriguez? And in David Ortiz next year is still not both for Bonds and Clemens. It doesn't access to me, by the way, I'm going to miss that. Bob 90, a USA Today Sports Major League baseball comments on Freddy and Fitz Simmons on ESPN Radio and XM Channel 80. That's the whole Hypocrisy with this whole thing, Because let's say you're voted. That was never gonna vote for Barry Bonds. Never gonna vote for Roger Clemens. And in this case, never gonna vote for Curt Schilling. But then what? If that happens, Bob? What kind of message are the baseball right Association? Not you. But other people sending that if they don't vote those guys in or cast a vote for.

"Um, right, so it it exacerbates some of your dimensions of your body. But so for Bob for Bonds and Clemens, it's one thing but for Schilling, so much of what people are talking about occurred like after he was done. Yeah. You know, if not all of it, actually, I think, yeah, it was a little pain in the ass. But he was a picture, but not this But everybody, You know someone A lot of great stars were pains in the ass when they were playing like Randy Boss. Think is that Freddy Johnson was historic. That's right. That's right. He was just mean and Randy Moss was the same way with in the NFL. Remember this? He was like he was like a malcontent all the time. And now he's great. He's fantastical television. Love. People have turned. You got Boss. Great segment they've turned They're like perception about him now. But what if he had gone the other way in the NFL had a character clause and he was just like, I don't know a recluse and, you know, get off my lawn type. And, you know, talking trash on social media like Curt Schilling does. And you know, a lot of it is because he had that shirt that was like, basically hang the media, the with the journalist saying the journalists or whatever it may have been, and so people are taking things that happened after his playing career. And applying applying that character clause to that which is much as I disagree, and Curt Schilling will never enter my popular list ever because of all the things that he's done, and said over the last 45 years, six years But at the same time if I'm a evaluating him as a baseball player, it Zane congruent and so that that's the challenge with the character clause is that you can apply it, however you want. It's it's such a subjective application. It really is that it makes it unfair to be included, and but the problem is, you can't get away with it. Right. You can't get you can't do away with it because then guys like Barry Bonds and Clemens. They brought the A rod They get in tomorrow. So is based solely off of accomplishment that changes that changes the whole the whole of fame. But yes, and it's never gonna revert back to that. But back in the day, it was just based solely on accomplishments. So the modern players are Being judged by two different scales. Yeah, the back of their baseball card, but also whether or not you agree with what they espouse whether it's political or otherwise, By the way, just so rude. J T Realmuto, We're talking baseball. Five years $115 Million Phillies. Nice. Just saw that five years. 1 15 great player, Grilli. Good catch or five years of Buck 15 staying with the Phillies were, you know? Listen, what? I'm gonna waste anybody's time here and say Bonds and club course. Come on, man. I mean, They were just phenomenal at what they did enhanced medically Sure, no doubt. But to me, no doubt hold of Famers without without a speck. Of liquid from a syringe or a pill Now shillings a little different because shillings career What you're you're evaluating it two different ways. When you look at you say, Well, 216 wins. Not really. That impressive, You know, starts with Baltimore couple of nondescript years with the Phillies then and then in 93 wins the NLCS M v P. And then, of course, he becomes a beast shortly thereafter one of the all time great October legends undeniably so the Yankees his postseason that you're evaluating in a lot of ways. Well, it is, but not totally. He's one of 18 pitches with 3000 strikeouts. He's one of 18 pictures. That's ever played the game with 3000 strikeouts, and by the way in the modern era, he's number one. A lot of people don't references to me. This is an important stat. He's number one in strikeout to walk ratio. All time number one. Yeah, ahead of Randy Johnson slightly, so it's just not. It's not a highly referenced that that's what that doesn't mean that people are It doesn't mean that it shouldn't be reference. Of course, you know, I mean, three World Series again If you're on three words like Bernie Williams has more than three, but Bernie wins not to hold the favor to be Because while he was a primary piece of those Yankees dynasties of the dynasty, you know when you're on multiple World Series teams and your VHS or one of the two aces, right? I mean, those world championships feel a little different to me, all right? You wanted MVP in the World Series? Yeah, all the strikeouts to make her Children's the whole thing. But I trust my eyes. I know what I saw was a beast. He didn't want to Cy Young, You know, I know. Um, but you know where he led the league twice. In case you talk about a strikeout. I mean, there are there's an argument against him being in. So the question becomes do does that postseason success, which I guess is included. I'm trying to like, you know, it's not in the 216 wins. It's not. I know I'm not talking about that..

"Join us at 11 50. Madam, president of the Baseball Writers Association of America, the first and so far only you're not currently the president Susan Slusser. We'll go through her ballot and she had some interesting choices. I mean, the Uh, The bottom line here is and I get on the soapbox that makes this speech every year, and I'm getting tired of it. But we're talking about the only seven time most Valuable Player award winner in the history of baseball. They didn't give out the M V P award throughout the entirety. Of the history of the game, but still he's the only seven time M V p could have one more Could have one panel Gion took one from him can took one from him. He could've had nine or 10. But very Lamar bonds is the only seven time M v P and the rocket Roger Clemens. Is the only seven time Cy Young Award winner to have a hall of Fame and museum. One thing I want to get into a Jeff Idelson. Is there There is the Rotunda, the big area where all the plaques or display that's the hall. But there's also a museum there. That tells the history of baseball good and bad from Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe. The Black Sox scandal, everything that's happened You know Jackie Roosevelt Robinson. We celebrate him breaking the color Berry April 15th 1947. How about the, you know? How many Jack age did we play were African Americans. Blacks were not allowed to play. You know, we're so we got to celebrate it all good and bad and You know how I feel about bonds and Clemens should go in. You know, Schilling if Schilling goes in That I gotta you know, why is Dave Stewart not in the Hall of Fame if Curt Schilling goes in, and I'm not talking about his politics? You know if you're gonna throw all the character quote unquote claws out. Then I guess you gotta throw it out for for Curt Schilling. So I don't know exactly how you wrap your brain around that, but it's not only a Hall of fame. It is a museum. And I haven't been there in a number of years. I was there in 2000 and nine, I think was the last time I was there, and there was hardly any mention. Of the all time Hitch. King Peter Edward Rose and 4256 heads to There's No. It was our legal team action of the home run King. Was 7 62 and bonds, So we'll get idle since thoughts a little bit about how we just Wrap this around. And if, in fact it is true that bury in the rocket, don't make it. You know, there there. This is it, they could have one more plate appearance. Next year, so And there is the you know, the Veterans Committee they established. Harold Baines was able to go in that way. I don't know if that it may be harder for For bonds to make it that way. Joe Morgan was very out, spoken about him not getting in that way, although I think shows softened a little bit before he was lost Jo this year. About the overall candidacy of very but We'll find out. I thought it was gonna be right in the middle of our show would be the announcement at high noon, but the network and they're doing a beautiful celebration of and Karen's life. Right now with the commission, another speaking, which is just beautiful. They're going to begin their show at noon. I thought they were gonna announce the Hall of Fame in nude so they're going to do I think they're doing it like 3 15 our time chance, So it's so good to have a nice three hour and 15 minute pregame show to basically say. No one is going in from the class of 2021. So we'll have Jeter and Larry Walker and Walker just barely got in. Here's the other thing, too. And you just mentioned this. You've got to address this. It's some point. You can't just sweep it under the rug because in 2022 Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz. They're going to be eligible for the first time. So as bonds and Clemens will get their 10th and final opportunity, at least this way, you're gonna have to look at a rod in Ortiz and I would have thought that Alex Rodriguez would never get in. But then He has done all this PR work over the last number of years and so have people softened on him. David Ortiz, I would think would get in. If he's not the greatest designated hitter of all time, He probably is, and that's a position. So how are they going to deal with that? So it's not going to just go away. They have to deal with this in some way, shape performing as you just pointed out. It's a museum so and look, I I understand why people don't do it. I understand that they there's There's a reason why they don't put him in. But Don't think that the way that they've approached, it is the right way. And my point is, and I haven't been there in like 12 years, but there was even in the museum part. There was very little, you know, mention of feet Rose and a Barry Bonds and I just thought, you know, I'm taking my son's through there on my daughter's. I'm like I need some the history the game if you don't tell them anything about very bad's or the rocket. I mean, the rocket you can, you know, go into the Yankees and getting a world Syriza with it after his career at the Red Sox, whatever he did with his trainer, McNamee up in Toronto. It's all conjecture. I don't know. We all have our own thoughts at it. But Roger Clemens was that job If you just would've retired after his red sock career to make the Hall of Famer and likewise bonds before You know he had the injuries, and Mac and Sosa stage their home run Derby to break Maris's record. But with a Rod and Alex Rodriguez. I often wonder if him and you know he was there for the inauguration because J. Lo saying before kind of shows up everywhere. I've often wondered if he would just come out of retirement. He's four home runs away from 700. He had 690 Six home runs, which is my numbing mind numbing but you know he was implicated, and he basically had, you know, she took a lot of punishment. He lost a chunk of a year and it was career not mourn a lot of money. But, yeah, I mean, if if they put a fraud in the Hall of Fame over very, you know, that's just not consistent. I don't think they're going to do that..

A survey on the matter are poll found a real mix of use in a lot of concerns about the risks of coming back to school and sending Children back to school but also problems with all online instruction. Altogether 44% Said that they prefer a mix of in person and online instruction. 39% preferred on all online in 16% preferred all in person glasses. Now, what did the pole find as Faras?

Suspicious Celebrity Deaths: Marilyn Monroe
"We'll start our exploration with a clip from podcast original conspiracy. Theories that discusses the media sensationalized death of actress and sex icon Marilyn Monroe nearly sixty years after her death. Monroe continues to be a pop culture icon. Monroe's private life was the subject of much Hollywood gossip in the nineteen fifties. She was involved in two highly publicized marriages and divorces and battled addiction and depression when she died of a prescription overdose in nineteen sixty two. It was ruled a suicide but many believed there was something more behind her cause of death on August fourth nineteen sixty two. Maryland spent most of the afternoon in a room after having an argument with her friend and publicist Pat Nukem in the morning nukem state at the House for the rest of the afternoon at about three or four. Pm Maryland's housekeeper. Eunice Murray called over her psychiatrist. Dr Ralph Greenspan. She claims she called him because she was troubled by Maryland's request for an oxygen treatment. Even though oxygen was a well-known hangover cure at the time Dr Green soon arrived around three or four Pat Nukem left and green spoke to Maryland in her room for about an hour. Greenspan left asking Murray to stay at Maryland's house overnight and keep an eye on her Maryland took a telephone into her room and spent the night making calls to friends and acquaintances every when she spoke to agree she didn't sound drugged or depressed and she gave no indication. She was considering suicide at around ten PM. She set the receiver down during a call and never turned around ten thirty. She made one last call to Peter. Lawford her friend. And the husband of Patricia Kennedy during the call she apparently drifted into unconsciousness and stopped responding at either midnight or three a m. She changed her story later. In the morning Eunice Murray woke up and noticed a light in Maryland's room was still on but she wasn't responding. She called Dr Green Son who broke in through the bedroom window and found Maryland lying dead clutching the telephone. Next to empty pill. Bottles of prescription sedative called NEMBUTAL and a nearly empty bottle of another sedative choral hydrate. Greenspan called Maryland's physician Dr Hyman Engelberg. Who came over and officially pronounced her dead at four. Twenty five am the police were called. Murray Greenspan and Engelberg initially told investigators Jack Clemens that Maryland's body had been found at midnight creating a four hour gap between discovering the body and calling the police that none of them could account for clemens. Was Relieve by Sergeant Marvin known who sealed up the house until the full investigative force arrived at about five thirty when the investigators questioned them later that morning. Murray Greenspan and Engelberg all changed their stories to say that Maryland's body hadn't been discovered until three a m inconsistencies in the forensic evidence and the witnesses stories. Baffled the police but it did appear to be a suicide so they held off on opening an official investigation until the coroner confirmed the cause of death. The coroner's investigation went on for less than a week during which they interviewed. None of the key witnesses except for Maryland psychoanalyst. Dr Ralph Greenspan after speaking with Dr Greenspan the deputy. Da Leading the investigation said. He was completely convinced that. Maryland's death was not a suicide. The medical examiner's performing the autopsy also believed the death couldn't have been a suicide but despite those findings the coroner officially ruled the cause of death as a probable suicide over the past five decades. Even more evidence has emerged to suggest that Marilyn's death was not in fact a suicide. There have been repeated calls to reopen the investigation into Maryland's death some as recent as two thousand two should not be a close case. It should be an open case by the. Da There's too much too. Many people too much overwhelming evidence that proves that this was not a suicide and I think that Maryland needs closure the difficulty with finding the truth. Is that nearly all the key? Figures involved in Maryland's death are now dead themselves and the statements they gave during their lifetimes were often contradictory. Many of the witnesses who have spoken out against the official story have been discredited as liars fame seekers and conspiracy theorists despite evidence that they might be telling the truth and many of the people who upheld the official story had their own hidden agendas. It was in their best interest to end the inquiry into Maryland's death as quickly as possible

Study Hall: Summit on Sustainable Fashion
"Went to study hall recently. No I didn't get detention. It was actually the exact opposite of detention. It was this really beautiful amazing six our experience. That happened a few weeks ago. Here in New York City Study Hall is an Educational Conference like that which is organized by slow factory and slow factories. Co-founder selene Simone. And it was this amazing six our experience of hearing from designers scientists educators and activists all on the topic of climate positively at scale within the fashion industry. So I know that you actually watched it online so you our listeners can also watch it online. How did you feel about study hall? Well first of all. It's it's an annual free summit on sustainable fashion so anyone can get tickets go which is so cool and then she also puts it all online so people like myself and address listeners. Who could not make the event you can see this incredible You know conference and bringing together of all of these people that are working on sustainable fashion so like how do we build a better? More sustainable ethic conscious fashion industry now and for the future so I was excited about this event and very excited of to watch it. Even if I wasn't there in person yeah and there were actually seven hundred people there in person. So how yeah. They were estimating that it was going to be something like five hundred and it was actually held at the New York Times Center. Which is this beautiful event space and auditorium and they had to turn the TV room that they set up downstairs into an overflow room. Kezman writing people were super into it. It was just an incredible day. I left so inspired. There were so many panelists that were amazing right and including the person who opened the conference is our past guest Carina Emmerick and really beautiful dedication. she's a native American fashion designer and she did this really beautiful recognition of the land that nyc sits on as being the home of the lanark people who were moved to Oklahoma in eighteen sixties. So the whole the whole day was really great. And I don't know what your takeaways were but my takeaways from the day were that planetary health is human health that climate change is a human rights issue And also so many panelists. It kept coming back again and again and again that there's this direct correlation between environmental abuses and human rights abuses And I'M NOT GONNA go into like Hella detail here but you can jump on study hall yourself and listen in if you want to. But but it was. I opening inspirational heartbreaking at times. But but really really great. Yeah so Crema opened the show with a powerful land. Acknowledgement LIKE WHITNEY. Mcguire did this Powerful labor acknowledgement so you have the landing management and then you have the Labor acknowledgement. You know this country is built on the backs of millions of enslaved African Americans. You know so. It's kind of just this reminder of of where we come from so that we can move forward to a brighter future with acknowledging where we came from and where this country comes from and how it was built and who have been the custodians of this country before us. Yeah I mean Creena just to quote her. She said indigenous people make up four percent of the world's population and we are still protecting eighty percent of the world's biosystems and she didn't explicitly say this but she kind of reminded us that while Greta. Thunberg is a powerful white activist. She's become the face of climate change. Indigenous activists have been fighting for the last two centuries to protect their land. But Yeah my main takeaways. All Star that climate change is a human rights issue. I think you have panelists Lillian Lou. Who said one in six people in the world work in a job related to fashion that sixty million people worldwide and only about two percent earn a living wage? So you know lots of really powerful stuff. Climate Positivie was the theme so quote to close low for actually going back to our roots of living in harmony with nature by providing sustainable scalable solutions for the long-term with ecologically regenerative practices and projects in alignment with environmental justice for Black Brown and indigenous communities. And something I thought was so cool and I know I think I called you to talk about April was the one x one conscious design initiative which is so cool it says partnership between the Slow Factory Foundation and Serov Sqi supported by the UN. And basically it's these partnerships. I abstained future. So you're pairing fashion designers with scientists for instance and designer telfar. Clemens is paired with scientists the end Skyros. Yeah she's a professor at fit. And I my mind was literally blown out. I have her on the show and in fact after we get on recording this. I'm just gonNA email her and be like hi. Would you like to come on the show? Yeah because not only. Is she working with her students? Fit to bio engineer. Leather and algae-based yarn. So just think about that. I can trust listeners. She went and she was talking about it on on study hall about how you can grow leather shapes essentially so without even having to so it because algae will just form to itself around a mold she has this incredible company called algae net with their motto is biology is the future of fashion and they promote this closely product life cycle so so many cool things happening and I think you should absolutely ask her on the show that would be really really cool to hear more about bio
