"Of the grizzlies, did you see what Desmond bane did to Kevin Love yesterday? I think it was yesterday. He hit them in what they called him the solar plexus. Unnecessarily coming around on the screen. Hit him with the and some Memphis people got mad because the clip of me and David Dennis talking about how we all love the grizzlies last year and now we're really kind of sick of them. Went around and of course a lot of Memphis got angry and I'm gonna be real with y'all. Angry Memphis is not what I want. I already had DJ Vlad misrepresent what I was saying about Young Dolph and then now this. I would like to come to your city for a playoff game because it looks like it's fun. However, I mean, cash is be rolling up with guns that finish line. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't allegedly. So I don't know if let's get some peace on this or whatever, but I am telling you guys right now, you got Dylan Brooks and Desmond bay is out here as a meat slugger. We have, we got no. This is inappropriate behavior that you guys are engaging in. Their head coach needs to get a little less tailor and a little more Jenkins and getting there and lay down the law. You know what I'm saying? Ain't no more ironic name than Taylor Jenkins. Like that's a version of how Jacques vault is from California, but Tony Parker is from France. Taylor Jenkins, you be trying to figure out which is which. I thought, I thought that you were talking about Dylan Brooks, 'cause that's a Dylan Brooks style behavior. Where you're talking about Desmond Bain. I was like, oh, he must have meant Dylan Brooks. No, his death. That's what I'm saying. I didn't think that was part of his character. You know what I'm saying? I had to give the New York dudes love to say that, yo, I thought your character was stronger than that. You know what I'm saying? I thought he had a different character. You picking it up. You fit right in. You're like, yeah. Need a backpack. A puff of good to go. Yo, I'm so living the privileged life that, you know, your career kind of dictates your directions. I'll even know what they'd be wearing like that. No more. Like I live in Harlem and all of that. I don't even know what the streets is where. Yeah, you want to be standing outside. Don't be walking too far from the door to the car and that's the body. Well, I'll also tell you this about New York. They definitely engineered a widespread take your ass inside campaign. Like when I used to come here 20 some years ago and stuff like that, like that we just be outside, they'll be outside the projects at all. Like they told him, y'all gotta stay inside, but cats don't really just be outside in New York like he used to be. Like when I got to college, dim New York dudes which is always be outside and we southerners couldn't understand why. That's a good point. So like I lived in New York for a year and I go to New York once a week during the football season and I know where all the projects were in Harlem because I lived by Colombia and I worked in Harlem so I walked through all the projects on the way over and no matter what time because sometimes you work late at night. No matter what time the project was calm. At the same thing and like when I get to down by the seaport, like I'll go out and get something to eat, grab a slice of pizza later at night is ten 11 o'clock or something like that. Projects become.

"You know, even though he's doing all this great stuff, like you can, you know, when you look at bird and him winning, you can say, well man, it's hard to argue that he was not the best guy at least one of those years. You know, when jokic is like, man, I still can't put him above embiid or Giannis. You know, as the best player, I know we can do the semantics of most valuable and but at some point you also talked about who's the best player and I don't really feel confident that he's the best player and what is I think that's what you kind of is important if you're going to have this like once in a lifetime stat of three straight MVPs. Right, but here's the counterpoint. Does it matter if you're the best player if you play better than everybody else? Well, there's that too. Because I think part of what gets us here is when I think about that defense in. That's not about the 82 game sample. Right. It's about the 7 game samples. That you have to get through, right? And it's fair to raise a question about how good you are at doing this other thing. Like I talk about with football, part of the problem with the advanced metrics is September and January a completely different things. They're different outside. They're different versus who you go to play. It's all these different things. How much do those things really matter? Like once you get down to the nitty Gritty, and I think it's fair for people to ask that question about yogic. However, I raise this point. I'm curious what you think. The basketball world, historically, his kind of settled on the idea that Bill Russell was a better player than wheelchair. I am not certain that is the case, but that has been settled upon. Right. Bill Russell was kind of a two way player, right? They'll tell you is that he ran the offense from the high post to ignore those really low shooting percentages in all of that stuff. But they wouldn't go out there and be like, hey, Russ, we need a bucket. 54s. Right. But there's something I think not just aesthetically, but also almost like morally for us. In our minds, that if we don't think of you as this great defensive player, we just can't do it. Right. Just because it is defense. Again, Steph Curry wound up in that same place. And then we get to the weird race thing and I'm curious your observations on this because, you know, we both had our various exposures to white people when it comes to talking about various things, including basketball. I find that nobody is harder or white basketball players than white people. There's a low white self esteem. It seems when it comes to basketball. And rappers, they're the same way with rappers too. Yep. They cut them off at the knees. Unless for whatever reason, that white rapper or that white basketball player demonstrates that he belongs in which case they go. All right? It gets all the way to a whole nother place once they cross over a certain threshold and I don't really keep up like I haven't checked the public Twitter timeline in over a year. So there's a lot of the discourse around yogic that I don't see, but I do fully understand after I've gotten a little more familiar with what's going on in the discourse.

"Switching gears here. Did you see JJ and perk on first take? Talk about yoga situations. Yes, indeed. Yes, I did. What do you think about that? Man, first of all, I love with JJ rittich is done. And we've got to save that brother because he's been co opted. Like with clay Travis and I'm just saying like JJ Reddick is like my guy. We got to bring him back. We got to get him from the out from there. I thought it was there was a good conversation to be had. In there somewhere, they didn't have a good conversation. You know, like I think that there is, you know, perk I think is making a point about when you have a voting system where it's a bunch of white guys, they might lean towards the white guy. And I think JJ may not have been sort of ready for that. You know, like you got to be ready for that kind of conversation. And there's a lot of nuance there. They didn't have a lot of nuance. But I mean, when you got 80% of white folks vote for some, there's going to be inherent bias in there and it's going to impact the decisions. However, it's hard to make that argument that that's what's going on with jokic in this season. Well, so here's where they get tricky. Is and I agree with everything that you said. It's a macro level observation. Right. The problem with this particular sample is we don't have a lot of counterfactual right. Points in this distribution. It ain't being but like three white dudes worth of damn in the last 30 years, right? Right. We don't have enough examples to point to to demonstrate a trend. It's just not there. So, for example, I heard people make the point that I think I don't remember if it was perk or somebody else who made this point, but they're like, there's less pressure on the European players to win championships than it is on the black players. The problem with that again is it wasn't until literally now that we had one let alone two or three European players and they specifically white European players. Let me be very clear because Giannis was not in this category. Right.

"Wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for watching us on YouTube, rate us review us. Give us 5 stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. It is that time of week. We have a guest join us. You can check them out on around the horn. You can check them out on debatable. You can also check him out at and scape and he is the author of the movement made us. David Dennis, what's going on? Nothing much brother glad to be here. Glad to hang out with you and all that good stuff. Appreciate it, man. Hope you don't mind that I dropped the junior. I'll be doing that. You don't believe in the junior. I believe in the junior, if you or your daddy or in the same room. Okay, all right. You know what I'm saying? But like with you, it's a little bit different 'cause your dad ain't got a little clout, got a little something. I know we got a little something to it. Yeah, it is a little something there. I'm talking about these other dudes where I don't even know if you know your daddy. And you are here talking about Judy. Don't nobody need that. And you know who's fault it is? Nobody tells about this. It's Robert Griffin. Robert Griffin started this entire thing where he became Robert Griffin the third and I know it sounds classy, you know? But you will go back. You will never find me call here Robert Griffin the third. He is Robert Griffin, because I don't know your daddy. I ain't never thought about your daddy one time. Yeah, I need to know the second and the first. I had to add the junior because folks were running up on my dad. Especially like a few of the people in his circle, some of the philosophical people who have some differences about what the things I wrote, running up on him at the events, speaking to him at the events, he's had a couple of things canceled because David Dennis was wild in an article, so I had to put the junior on him to save him a little bit.

"Now, something I do find to be interesting though about the story, and I guess this is to a degree a post George Floyd sort of situation. When they know these videos about to come out, it is all hands on deck at your local media company. I saw my man David Dennis on the middle of the night SportsCenter. Talk about that video. Witty came out. Interesting, right? Like, we don't really have the sports tie, really hadn't come yet, and I saw a headline on ESPN dot com about the players on the grizzlies speaking out about the video and all these things that happened with that. First of all. I understand the need for preparedness, right? Stay ready, greater than get ready. But when is the last time the police beat one of us severely or to death? Or shot one of us? And we immediately took it to the street upon the release of the video. And I don't mean take it to the street to protest. I mean, take it to the street to break. When is that? When is that been the case? When's the last time? Because here's the thing. That isn't what happened with Rodney King. You have to remember what happened with Rodney King that led to riots was the acquittal, it wasn't the actual act of violence.

"This is a Dominique foxworth show. All right, I don't care what you say. I'm calling it and until you come up with a better name, David Dennis. I mean, the point is we do sports on Tuesday and Thursday. Are we hand? On Wednesday we hit you with that bonus. That is like sports adjacent or not sports at all. So that's the name. Unless you got a better one. That works 'cause usually when I try to make a point, people say, and so all right, well, what's the point you want to make for us this week? I want to talk about the big sports elephant in the room that everybody's been talking about is email DOCA. And how we have gravely lost the plot here with eBay and how we've responded to the situation. So obviously, as you know, email is involved in some sort of relationship in the team and the Celtics. Sorry to cut you off, but listening to anybody talk about the email you don't get like set it up. I've been on a bunch of shows and we none of us really know how to set it up because we don't have enough information. So for those who don't know, he's the head coach or was. I guess technically still is the head coach. Just technically still the head coach. He got suspended for a year and also maybe forever because of inter office, this is the part where it gets funky because some people are talking romance and there's also like allegations of harassment, the press conference that we watched last week from the leadership of the Celtics didn't really make anything better or clearer and from the start of the situation, people have been taking sides and hazarding opinions without complete information. What do you got for us? Yeah, so that happened. And obviously there is a racial component of emo doka as a black man in Boston being reprimanded for some that allegedly a lot of people do, right? But what was troubling about it was that as that was happening, there was this cavalcade of people on the Internet who were just like, what about Brett Favre, like y'all are talking about this? And you're not talking about Brett Favre. And that really was, that's where we lost the plot here. Because first of all, we did talk about Brett Favre. I talked about Brett Favre if we did a 20 minutes on Brett Favre in a debatable. As you know, I'm from Jackson from Mississippi. I Brett Favre, thing is like very near dear to my heart and very upset about it.

"I did not see the game on Monday night with the Seahawks and the Broncos. Were you surprised that Russell Wilson got booed in Seattle? I was surprised, but I wasn't shocked, I guess, is the way I would put it. All the stories started coming out about, I don't know, it was kind of an organized campaign, these stories start coming out right before the game and the fans obviously there are legions to the team and not to the players. I think what shocked me more than anything was, it seemed like he don't got no friends. Y'all. It's so weird for somebody who is not an ass. You know, I could see why people would be like, hey cool, I don't really mess with them, but I feel like people actually actively don't like him, which is like, I don't know. I don't quite get it. Yo, so a couple things there. One, what I took from them booing him was the fans don't view him as being responsible for the Super Bowl in the ways that fans typically associate with a quarterback. I mean, they have been in quarterback heaven basically for the last ten years by having him, right? It's very hard to have that sort of thing. It's very rare that you got a situation like that. And normally, even if there's beef, this kind of a man, we want a Super Bowl. We had a great run with you, right? We gonna clap to support that one. Nope, they went on the booze thing, even if he wanted to be traded, right? Keeping in mind that the Seahawks wanted to trade him, which is its own fascinating story again because they were in quarterback heaven and they were still like nah, dog. We don't want no parts of this right here. Like, that part surprised me, but the bigger part, I think is what you touched on is I've never seen a player, not even Jay Cutler, right? Who you played with? Never seen a dude where everybody that seemed to be at least part of a certain era was just down on him. Doug Baldwin, all that money you got, got a lot to do with playing with Russell Wilson. He had something to say. Richard Sherman, we're not surprised because we had heard this from all those legion of boom guys as far back as it went and you're right. Russell's not an ass, but what seems clear to me, right? And you tell me if I'm wrong here, I was having a conversation with my good buddy, David Dennis, because I saw him all around the horn. And his argument was basically that the dudes think Russell is corny, and since they think he's corny, they come in at him, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This isn't the way people like when they think you corny, this is the way people act when they think you phony.

He was, I believe it was Hiroshima. Yeah, that was that would have been World War II. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And around that time period and he was a marine too, whenever he got back, he started driving the bus and never quit. That is such a great story.

"And so those plantations were self sufficient and so those people never left implantation. I know people right now, there's four guys that I know I grew up with, they're still living on that plantation. But they don't work like they did then. The plantation only just left them land. But my family 300 years of slavery on the plantation, but grew up in that plantation life, but during that time period, why do a bit that was non plantation sharing full? Lounge, Mississippi. All these plantation owners had until two network of income, you know, now that I know about myself and I can look back at it, I can reflect on some things that, you know, it just brings tools to my eyes because to my heart because you have to survive. You have to understand how to survive. And my mom and dad couldn't lead a rape, but they understood certain things that could teach you alive. And every kid on every one of those plantations knew that. So they knew how to stay out of trouble. The ones that knew how to stay out of trouble. But the plantation life was just sufficient. We had traditions and people were strong till that time period, but I can just see the difference because when negative average got killed, I got a brother to sing me this camera. You look at the mouth as you look at the lungs that you would go coordinate. It's like ten miles apart. He was 15 years old when Meghan was 13. And he left the state of Mississippi and so bad. But these things that went on in the delta as the young youth, you know, understanding the people that you call with inflammation is going to carry tradition to tradition my mom couldn't read it right, but she could cook 300 recipes and she could make, I know my mom made German beer. And we don't know how she maybe she made several types of wine. She was the head cook at the elementary school, but there were people in the Mississippi Delta on those plantations that had different characteristics that carried with their kids throughout their life. And my mom never said, I didn't know the things that were happening. I didn't know who were politicians and who was leaders because they didn't raise us anyway. They raised us to love, care, protect, and do the best you can do. And I was the numbers guy. I had no idea. You know, when I graduated, I got a scholarship out to Oregon. I finished there in Oregon and I've been an aerospace in general for the last 39 years of my life. But you can't help. But reflect is shit that went down. And as you pursue it all, you understand those types of things. But then you have to get out of respect to those parents, who's diligent. They were hard, they had to understand the ecosystem. They couldn't read or write. You thank God until people 'cause they can't read or write. I'm not gonna let you in heaven. That's bullshit. I'm sorry, sorry. But people know. People live a fire, and they understand and face your life. And I just all I want to say, these types of things are being found out because the natural being the corn with technology. We finding out things that we never knew in the past, but I just say, I'm a strong an American. I'm a black American. I'm proud of myself. And that's all I got to say. I just want to share that because I don't know if people knew that these type of people lived in the state of Mississippi and people migrated from different places all over the world. And that's what happened to me in 1981. And I just wanted to thank you so allow me to talk about this. Will I thank you very, very much for sharing that story. That's absolutely remarkable.

"My dad said, you know, look, I'm not gonna ride with you. Somebody's gonna kill riding with you and they laughed it off and went home, and that was the night that they was assassinated. And that changed the movement forever. I mean, that was an assassination in a way that they hadn't seen before, and it really, you know, illuminate the fact that these people are, you know, they're getting murdered, like white supremacy in Mississippi was murdering folks, prominent people in front of their homes. And that changed everything and my dad is still struggling with the survivor's guilt of having made it through that. And David, to state the obvious, nobody was doing anything about it in Mississippi. And you were at risk, certainly what happened in Philadelphia with the civil rights workers. What happened everywhere? It took a long time to learn how truly terrible and ghastly this was. Living there in the moment, how did your father deal with that? Sally, I mean, there was not time to deal with that. You know, you were just going from one thing to the next and there wasn't any time to really heal. There were no breaks. Dad didn't have any vacations for, you know, that time their entire time, he was in the movement. It was just survival. You know, like an example of the way these things pile on each other, you know, when mega Evers was assassinated at the same time, Fannie Lou hamer and activists were being tortured and wynonna Mississippi. So these events just pile on each other and their kids. My dad was in this book is 20 years old up until he's 23 years old. Like these are children going through this. So when you ask how they coped back then, they didn't they just had to survive and they're still dealing with PTSD and trying to cope with it now. I think this book helped my dad heal. It helped him cope with it, but you know, there was no sort of understanding of self care therapy and things like that. It's comparable to a war. You know, my dad calls himself, he's says he was a war general, and this was pretty much a war. I mean, there were bombings and assassinations in spies and beatings and torture and things like that. They were fighting a war where there was no home base where you could get killed in front of your own house. So there was no, you know, the idea of how they get through it is just survival. And so many other things happened after that, of course, doctor king assassinated a couple of years later. And today, as you reflect on the encounter with your dad, you're a writer, a very accomplished writer and extremely well respected, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I'm sure I would have felt a lot of pressure making sure we got this right. Yeah, there was a ton of pressure. I mean, you know, I wanted my dad to feel well represented, but also I wanted his peers to feel well represented. I want this movement to feel well represent. These are stories that are not often told. And one of the most important things is that there are names in here of people who you just don't see in history books. You know, we know about mega Evers and a lot of ways, you know, when low office know about Martin Luther King and we know about Goodman chaney, schwerner being keeled..

"And, you know, he didn't. He thought that that wouldn't be happening. So it was really hard to be writing this in the middle of all that tumultuous time. David, through this book, you take us back to that period. And I don't think young people today, they see the video. But you lay out how truly brutal and awful it was. And anyone who understands history knows that, but time tends to push it so deep into the crevices, what was it like to hear it firsthand, again, not as a father to a young person, but to somebody who was collaborating with a book. I mean, I had heard these stories in very broad strokes growing up. And did not understand, you know, my dad and his friends and they get together and they talk about this. They laugh about it. They play the dozens, but they sort of hide the more gruesome, more brutal parts. And so doing the research, talking to my dad, talking to other people like, you know, Jerome Smith and investor Simpson and Don Hubbard, people who were in the trenches and in the middle of some brutal brutal moments, it really sort of illuminated to me just what they went through, but also at the same time just what they achieved. Understanding what they were up against and how they turned that into creating democracy in the country for the first time is a really inspirational story in spite of the fact that it was really, really difficult to listen and go through the files and understand just exactly how painful this was for so many people. David, what inspired your father to become involved and to see this through back then. Well, he wanted to date. To be honest, he was, you know, he was a freshman at Dillard, which is an HBCU in New Orleans, and he saw a young lady out there trying to get people invested in coming to help out with the conference of racially quality in New Orleans and her name was Doris castle. My dad had no interest. No intention of joining any sort of movement or going to jail. He wanted to go to school and become an engineer, but he wanted to take this young lady on a date, and she said, the only way we're going on a date is if you come to these meetings and sort of one thing led to another, he goes to these meetings, they get them to start doing protests. He gets arrested, and it slowly sort of creeps up until he ends up at the free to brides and decides, you know, I'm going to go in this bus despite the fact that, you know, I might not make it on the other side, but it did all start with my dad trying to get a date with dynamic woman and movement organize the doors castle, which spoiler alert my dad never did get to go on that date, so. That's a moment of levity at a time when there wasn't much laughing. You mentioned medgar Evers and certainly he was really one of the most important and tragic moments of this entire time. Take us back with your dad and him and so many other brave brave people during this period. Yeah, so mega ever so my dad started his movement working in Louisiana and then moved into Jackson to do movement work in Jackson and the first person that he was told you have to meet as mega errors. Made his mark in that state in Mississippi from the beginning. I mean, he was investigating the Emmett Till. Lynching, he was a prominent figure. And so they just ended up becoming extremely close to the point where my dad was with medgar Evers the night he was killed. You know, Meg ever said was going to go watch the Kennedy speech. My dad jokingly is what they did. They joked with each other about how close they came to death..

"And so a lot of the things that happened in the 60s feel like it echoes to now so that some parts, I feel like I was writing a book, you know, it's written in first person, it's my dad's voice and there are parts in here that feel like I'm writing as if I were in the 60s and it's sometimes it's really hard to tell the difference, which is a sobering and, you know, sort of depressing fact, but at the same time, you know, we're trying to glean some hope from what they did in the 60s and some hopeful a lot of folks did in 2020 when they fought for change themselves. David Dennis said junior with us who wrote the book with his father. It's been two years now since that moment and. I'm curious how your father saw that unfold because there had not been many moments in these last 60 years that have touched as many people as the showing of that video and then the reaction that summer. That was extremely difficult for my father to watch that police officer kill George Floyd. I mean, for my dad, he had been exposed to an experience and heard a lot of violence and death in the 60s, but obviously technology was different. There were not cell phones back then to cover these killings of medgar Evers and Herbert Lee and Goodman changed foreigner and folks like that. So you just sort of heard about it. But what happened to my dad is that for the first time he saw the agony and George Floyd and saw the agony that his friends went through at the time and so it made it really painful for him. And it was painful for me to see my dad go through that. I mean, I've asked him a lot of times, you know, when you were doing this in the 60s, did you think we would still be having these issues? Did you think that you would have a son and a grandson who when they drive make it pulled over and killed by police or something like that? Like, did you think that was possible?.

"We are celebrating Juneteenth of course today and all weekend and we are delighted to welcome all of you back to the program. This next story is truly extraordinary and we are delighted to welcome David Dennis junior who is a very prominent writer to the program who was his father, his collaborated on a book, the movement made us a father or son and the legacy of a freedom ride at David, thank you. Thank you so very much for joining us. It's a pleasure to have you on not only Father's Day, but on the eve of Juneteenth to tell a story that really is remarkable. You've lived it those of us who are learning about it are just marveling. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Thanks so much for having me. When you grow up around something like this, maybe it seems obvious to me, but when learning more about the story, it doesn't seem so easy or obvious. So your father was a very prominent civil rights leader. He was part of the freedom rides in the 60s that helped to try to write some of the most horrific wrongs in American history, but that's his story. Your story is a little bit different. You grew up, became a very, very well respected and prominent writer. How did you number one deal with everything that he had done? He was your dad, but he was also somebody that was a hero to many and then finally figure out a way to get this into a book. Yeah, I mean, I had heard his stories growing up. Him sitting around with his peers and the movement and them sitting around the table and talking about what it was like and the things they experienced. So this book is a oral history of my dad's time and from 1961 to 64, but it really also talking about my experience of being his son and you know he dealt with some really traumatic things coming out of that survivor's guilt, a lot of his friends did not make it. He is best friend was medgar Evers. Government chain and schwerner were dear Friends of his, and he lost friends along the way. So it was just trying to unpack that relationship. What this movement created between us and generationally would have made me as a husband and father myself. So there was a lot of healing going on in this book, but it's also understanding some of the things that he had to go through and a lot of other folks had to go through in this country. Yeah, sometimes you could almost be too close to something, David, but as you were growing up, I mean, you're a young guy, the world was different, thank goodness. It still had a long way to go. But as you heard these stories and became old enough to understand, how did you approach it? Because he still was your dad, after all. Yeah, I mean, I had to be sort of delicate because I was Tapping into some memories that he had locked away for a long time. There are some things in this book that he had forgotten until I found the information and found the research and showed him that he was at these places, but at the same time, just as, you know, what we wrote about in that book was so long ago. I mean, we were writing this in the middle of the 2020 protests after the killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and ahmaud Arbery..

"All right, we are back. Let's talk about nonfiction because as Kate said, I also love gripping nonfiction book. I also read bad blood way before the drawing. Right there with you. What have been a couple of your gripping non fiction wrecks lately that you want to kind of shout out. Okay. I loved empire of pain by Patrick radden Keith. That's so good. Okay. Oh gosh, I gotta come up with some things you guys haven't read. Have you guys read south to America by imani Perry? No. No, but that's on my TBR. It's fun. You had her on, right? Yeah. Love imani Perry. So we did in imani Perry book for book club in 2020 and then she came on this past march, I believe. And she's phenomenal. She's one of the authors that I say that I know that in the future I'm going to be like, I can't believe I was alive and living in the world that imani Perry was writing about and writing into. She's to me that culturally important and will be in the future. So I'll tell America is her examination of the south of America and sort of how it is the start and the lead on things in America and she goes through different states and regions in the south and talks about them and it's sort of memoir and it's essay and it's just like so complicated and beautiful and the writing is so phenomenal and that I listened to some of it on audio and the audio is really good. Imani reads it and she does some of the little southern drawl things, which is really fun. So that's a book I've loved recently. What other non fiction? Oh, I just finished reading David Dennis junior's book called the movement made us. It just came out like two weeks ago. And his father's David Dunn a senior who was on the first bus of the freedom rides. He was an organizer for core and cofo in the civil rights movement. And he's sort of like the forest Gump of the civil rights movement where it's like he had dinner with medgar Evers the day before he was assassinated. He was supposed to be in the car with Goodman chaney and schwerner. He knew he knew everybody. He was an organizing meeting with Martin Luther King Jr.. And so it's this incredible story that if anybody wrote it as fiction, I would be like, okay, this guy was on all those places, like give me a break. It's like an oral history sort of, but David junior has instead of it just being straight or all history. He's kind of like crafted it into narrative nonfiction. His father's story. So that's a really cool book. That I have loved recently. That's three. What else? Oh, shine bright by Danielle Smith, which is about, it's our book club kicks for May or was our book. I love your interview with her, by the way. She's so fucking cool. She's amazing. And it's about black women in pop music. And she tells her story and also the story of women like Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, or I carry, or read the Franklin Gladys Knight, Marilyn McCoo. Denise Williams, so many people. To see Houston, Dionne Warwick, and it's just so incredible. Her memory is insane, like, her ability to tell these stories and bring light to these figures that we sort of know, but don't realize we don't know. So that's a really great book. And that's sort of on the lighter side, though it of course is heavy because it has to do with racism and the erasure of black women from an industry that they are central to and are the beating heart of. So it depends on how emotional you are when you read. It could make you pretty mad. I would really like to read that book. I think I'm going to put that on my list. I like this question because I'm curious, people had two questions. Favorite reading app. They said they like Libby, but the holds are too long. And we're both Libby users. And then the other person asked for options other than goodreads to keep tabs on their reads. So I'd love to kind of just dab into the digital side of reading. So Libby is what I use. I also use script, which they do a monthly unlimited situation. And script. You have to pay. It's 1199 a month, but it's unlimited and they do books. Audiobooks, podcasts. Some articles, I believe. I use it strictly for audiobooks at this point. But that's another option if you're willing to pay and don't want to wait as long. Their selection isn't as like they don't have a lot of titles in certain spaces. Like sometimes they might have the audio, but they don't have the E or whatever. So sort of how to play around, but that's a good option. I do not. I also use libro FM, but you have to buy those books, but they support your independent bookstore. So if the reason you're using Libby is because you don't want to spend money, then Libra off them is not a great option for you. But if you were just looking for another place to get audiobooks, leave rough M is a great option because a percentage of every sale goes directly to the independent bookstore of your choosing. So you can support your local indie or maybe you visited an Indiana trip and you're like, I love those people and so you can support them in that way. And then for tracking my favorite topic. So I use goodreads personally for a few reasons. But another alternative to goodreads, which is not owned by Amazon, is a company called storygraph, which is very similar. I'll tell you why I haven't started using story graph yet, which is nothing to do with the company, but mostly because at this point in time, goodreads is a place that a lot of bookstores and publishers use to gauge future book sales and orders and things like that. And so I would like to weigh in on the books in a space that might be meaningful for the authors. Story graph has better functionality, I just don't want to track my books in three different places and you're wondering what that other place is. Well, I myself have built a reading tracker with some members of my Patreon. It's one of the perks on my Patreon. And it is the joy of my life. It is the most intense tracker ever. Fully customizable, I have every book that I've read since 2016, and it's title author page number, audiobook length, if I listened, the country of origin for the author, the state of origin for the author, if what reason I read it for, where I got the book, if I got it from an indie bookstore, which indie bookstore, and it tracks all of this, and then there's a whole page of data, and then I have my entire TBR there as well. Every book that comes into my house gets entered into it. It's a lot, but I built it, and then two of my incredible patrons and Becky helped me this year make it even better. And it's sortable. And it's really crazy, and once a year I share it with my patrons. And so this is like the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and I'm obsessed with it. So every book I finish, I put in there, and then I also quickly go on goodreads, give it a star rating, and write my notes so that when I'm going to review later. So that's how I track. I appreciate the point you make as a writer, I appreciate the point you.

"Be there in person. Wardell, Stefan curry, the second. You have sunshine. But you saw it obviously from afar, David, what did it mean to him? Do you think to sort of close that particular loop in his life? Yeah, I mean, we talked about it previously. I mean, that was incredibly important. I mean, I was like probably as proud of him for doing that as anything, you know, he's done. And also, you know, Davison has this sort of archaic rule that they won't retire your Jersey if you didn't graduate. So now they get to retire his Jersey. Davidson, no subway sandwiches. And no jerseys in the rafters if you don't hold the diploma. Yeah, he had to have he had to graduate. And by the way, the city of Davidson now since Steph Curry has graduated is a metropolitan little town with like a Harris teeter and all of these stores and they've totally embraced all of this. He's transformed the entire city into like this whole thing where subways are now allowed to be there if they want to be there. You know, I was watching David. This is how I sort of got the idea at the end here to sort of even talk to you about step because I knew you guys knew each other, but I watched Steph Curry. Truly not forget where he came from when I saw him walk into a game in the Western Conference Finals. Carrying, I think something that you must have been pretty thrilled to notice. Yeah, so he was carrying my book the movement made us that came out may 10th. Go out and buy it so you can be like Steph Curry. You know, he has this book club thing that he does, not texting him, sort of jokingly, like, you know, don't forget me in the book. And he was like, no, I'm not like, this isn't a joke. And, you know, I was like, well, I'm gonna send you send you a book, and of course he knew about it before I told him about everything 'cause he, you know, that's just what he does. And didn't tell me he was going to do it. I didn't ask him to do it. And before game one of the Western Conference Finals as part of his walk up, he carries the book into the game, but like facing out. So you can see what he has, and that's just like the stuff. I mean, it's the same guy who comes to your dorm room after the UNC game. And to help you feel your CDs. That's just what he does. You know, and that's like basketball, no basketball. You just one of the greatest guys that you'll ever know and I'm sure and I want to play with him. I want to play with him in the war. He's like, I want to go a team up with him. I understand what LeBron is saying. Like, you know, that's just the type of stuff that he does, and sticks his neck out for you. And, you know, that's Stephen Curry. So what you're saying is that Stephen Curry now on track to be like one of the two greatest point guards in NBA history in the middle of his playoff rod is still helping David Dennis junior, the Jay-Z of Davidson college. He still helping him move units. Absolutely. David, thank you for doing this, man. It was a joy. Oh, thanks for having me, man. This is great. I'm Pablo Torre. This has been ESPN daily. I'll talk to you tomorrow..

"All right, David Dennis junior, where are we starting this story? So we're starting the story my senior year at Davidson college. These days, David Dennis junior is a senior writer for but in November of 2007. He was pursuing different creative endeavors. I was somewhat of a rapper at the time. I wanted to get back. David, you're an author, you're a journalist. I know you from around the horn. I did not know that you were also at one point a rapper. Before then I was in the streets spitting hot fire. And GarageBand was a terrible invention for lots of thoughts of the people in the community who got exposed to a lot of music that should not have been made. So I was the most famous rapper at Davidson college. I was the Jay-Z of Davidson college, if you will. Wow. You know, 2200 students strong. So I had to feed the streets, right? I had to burn my CDs, my compact disc for those who do not know. Yeah, CD is an artifact that one day kids will regard in a museum. Yes, exactly. It's almost like sending music via carrier pigeon. And so, you know, you got to package your CD, you got to burn the disc and put your insert with the art and all that stuff. And I needed help. I needed help to make this happen, so I emailed some friends like this night, you know, I need you guys to come and help me pack the CDs. We can get these out. You had 99 problems and packing CDs were a number of them. Was yes, there was a ton of ton of the problems, right? And so, you know, I was a little worried about if people are going to show because earlier that day was like a big day because Davidson was playing, you wouldn't see it was playing North Carolina. Earlier this evening, most of the stood and body of Davidson college loaded buses to make the 20 mile drive into downtown Charlotte North Carolina for tonight's game between the wildcats and the number one team in the country. The North Carolina tar heels are ready to get their season underway. UNC was the number one ranked team Davidson was playing them in Charlotte, nationally televised game and this actually became the Stephen Curry coming out party, like this was the big national game that he had, where he was the best player on the court. Shot block at 5 and it's bank home by Stephen Curry. And people were like, who is this kid on the court that's better than everybody you want to see? Curry, the very quick turn. And release. He has 11. Also, Davidson almost won the game, right? It was like a four point game, a couple shots that go in Davidson was right there with the number one team, and it's because of Stephen Curry. You don't have to tell him how to shoot it. Now, I remember sports centers talking about him like who is this kid where did he come from? His Dell curry son. And so he's on a whole nother stratosphere at this point. So that night I was like, well, it's been a big day. I'll just have to package my CDs myself. And so I get a knock on the door. First person there, Stephen Curry. And he's coming in to package these CDs. And I'm like, dude, don't you have something like don't you have to go be famous now? And he's just sort of like no, I'm just cool hanging out, hanging out and packing TD. So what a lot of folks don't know is if they bought my debut album, they probably have Steph courage fingerprints on it. I could have had them sign them and I would have probably sold a lot more. But you and staff, David, you were at our actual friends and this is a thing like rap with a thing that you guys kind of bonded over, right? Yeah, we would just hang out and listen to Lil Wayne, you know, rap do some freestyle. We could never quite get him in the cipher too much. It was my question, obviously, is how was staff compared to you as a he would just sort of hang back. But we just had this incredible time and it's just wild to think we were in that room and just dreaming about what our futures would be and I'm going to be on around the horn at some point this week talking about him on the NBA fight and they'd be a final so it's like it's just a wild ride, man. One of the wildest rides in NBA history takes another turn on Thursday when Golden State hosts the Celtics in game one of an insanely anticipated NBA Finals. B 6th NBA Finals, by the way, for Steph Curry's warriors in the last 8 years. Something no team has done since Michael Jordan's bulls. Meaning that Steph Curry is not simply the greatest shooter of all time, which we already do. But that he is now at age 34, something a lot bigger. So today, we go back to school with David Dennis junior, who was on the ground floor of one of the greatest sports stories of all time. And he tells us what Stephen Curry was really like as a college player as a beer Pong partner, and as a friend. I'm Pablo Torre. It's Wednesday, June 1st. This is ESPN daily.

So David, take me back to what would have been 2006, I think, back to the first time you had met Steph Curry, do you remember that? What happened exactly? Yeah, I remember it because it was incredibly awkward. So I met him, I was, you know, junior, he's a freshman. And you know, Davidson is a rather white college. And so a lot of times, you know, black folks just get together and get to know each other and meet each other early on and say, you know, we're going to look after one another. So this is probably before school had started. I think maybe basketball orientation or something. And I saw him, and somebody said, hey, this is Steph Curry. And he's going to be here. It's really good basketball players come to Davidson, right? And I was like, okay, cool, win. Like, when is he coming? And they were like, you know, now, but I was like, but he's 12. So I was like, Dave was in his room. You know, this was at the time people were talking about like Alabama was like recruiting like 9 year olds or whatever. And so I was like, I was like, Dave, which is like getting 12 year olds a company basketball, like, what's up with this? So they were like, no, he's a freshman, and I was like, it must be a child genius. Like, Doogie Howser or something. So they were like, no, you know, he's going to come and play. And I remember, you know, later they were like, you know, he's Dale curry's son, right? And I was like, well, cool. But like the room, there was a room that Michael Jordan's son was coming to play basketball at Davidson. I.

"A hard look at the industry that patients have been relying on for decades to get pregnant. You know, you have a new crop of residents come in, and those doctors would come up to you and say, Hey, Bob, Would you be interested in being a sperm donor? Mistakes have to kind of be made before we determine. Wait a minute. Is this ethical or not? That's this Reason I'm sick. Listen and follow this podcast for free on the I heart radio app number one for music, radio and podcasts, all in one address. It may change depending upon what network it's connected do. In fact, it will change depending upon what network gets connected to so It's not exactly analogous to a physical address, but it's similar enough for us to kind of think about that. Now. Here's the problem, however. These addresses are not easy for us to remember. You know, I p V four addresses and I P V six addresses. These are series of numbers and sometimes letters within the case with HPV six where They don't seem to make any rhyme or reason to us. They're hard for us to recall, so we had to come up with a way to map addresses based on language to the I P addresses that machines can deal with. So, for example, www dot howstuffworks dot com is a U R l and address that we humans can easily remember. And there are special computers called DNS. Servers that resolve these you RL's into I P addresses so that traffic can go to the right locations. So an attack on DNS servers, which has happened can slow down traffic to numerous websites. Because the servers will be so busy dealing with the attack. They have trouble resolving U R. L s in the I P addresses. Even though the actual websites themselves are perfectly fine. So if there's an attack on a DNS server that would typically resolve www dot howstuffworks dot com to its respective I P address howstuffworks dot com is fine. We haven't been attacked by anybody. But the the name server that would actually do the job of resolving that you are l into an I P address. It's busy handling this attack so it would look like our site is loading Super slowly that you just can't even pull anything up. But it's not a problem. On our end. It would be a problem in the middle, so there are a lot of different ways. Attackers can potentially affect the traffic and the speed of Internet connections. Now to end this episode, I'm going to talk about some early denial of service attacks and some of the more notable examples and in our next episode, I'm going to focus more on the specifics. Four types of DDOS attacks and how companies tried to handle them. So first of all, it's hard to get a definitive history of denial of service attacks because, oddly enough, hackers were not too concerned about documenting their actions. As they unfolded, But before there was DDOS, there were plenty of denial of service examples. One of them happened in 1974 with David Dennis, who was 13 years old at the time. Wondered if he might be able to affect all the terminals connected to a computer at the computer based Education Research laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana Champagne campus, Dennis knew that he could cause a terminal. Which think of a terminal as kind of a It's a keyboard and a monitor in itself is not a computer but connected to a computer. You have multiple terminals, all hooked up to this central computer, and they're all sharing those resources. Well, he knew that if he was using a terminal connected to this computer, and he executed the command called external, or E X T. Which was a command that would tell the terminal that it was supposed to communicate with a connected external device. But if you didn't have an external device connected to the terminal, and you and you send this command anyway. It would make the terminal lock up the terminal would be searching for this external device. It would not find it and that would send the terminal into the terminal equivalent of a tizzy. And the only way to fix it would be to shut everything down and reboot. So he thought, What if I did this, But I created a way for to do it across all the terminals connected to that computer at the same time, not just one because we did. I'm just I'm just sitting there having to change it. So he wrote some code. Figured out a way to send that command to all the terminals connected to a computer at the same time, making them execute that xD command without the individual users, knowledge or permission, and this forced to shut down and nearly all the terminals connected to that computer. The university ended up disabling this feature that would allow people to send such command to all the terminals from one single spot. They said. You know, we got to turn this default setting off. They didn't think about it till after it had happened. 1988 Robert Morris unleashed a denial of service attack by accident. He had developed a bit of code that would make its way through the machines connected through the Arpanet. And the purpose was to find out how big the network was. He just want to know how big the network was. No one was really sure this was something that was growing very kind of organically and rapidly. Some more is thought he had the perfect solution. He had this code that would go out and essentially, in fact, Every single node on the system that it encountered. But it was meant to infect just as a way of making count of each of the nodes. Really. He just wanted to find out what the headcount was. However, he made a mistake when he was creating this code, and it ended up being the equivalent of a worm. It went through the system and it would replicate itself. It would infect the same machines multiple times it failed to detect. That it had already infected a machine. So it just kept passing through. This are Benet system, infecting note after note afternoon again and again and again, gumming up the network and essentially causing a shutdown of 60,000 nodes. And he would end up being fined $10,000 and sentenced to 400 hours Community service for that mistake. The earliest example of a distributed denial of service attack that I could find happened in 1995, an Italian activist group, called the Strano Network, or Strange Network launched a denial of service attack against the French government in a protest against the nation's policies relating to nuclear power. But this was done with actual human operators who are working voluntarily. They were they had agreed to be part of this sort of virtual sit in, and they were working on their computers in an attempt to overwhelm the target servers. So this attack was limited both in scope and duration. Also back in those days, you are paying by the hour for Internet access. So The actual protest lasted about an hour because no one was willing to pour in a whole lot of money to Sit at their computer and actively carry out this attack. The denial of service attack became a go to strategy for Hacktivist groups in general..
