"So I've got a and M, some other candidates for me. Michigan's 26 that can pop. I've got them in the top 25 and one. And Oregon is 29th that can I've got them in the top 25 and one. So we're going to take a list of three text a.m. Michigan Oregon. All right, before we get to our leaky black interview, we did this a year ago on our kind of set the table right before the season started. So I've got a I've got a buffet of predictions and goodies here, and I'm going to walk back a few things here, remind our listeners remind. You look good in retrospect as normally as the case here. So I think I got a dozen things to hit on. We'll go pretty quick here. Last year, idiotically, I put on the I said over under .50 .5 games canceled due to COVID-19. We were talking about a schedule that was lined up for about 5800 plus games. I took the under and we wound up losing dozens upon dozens upon dozens upon dozens of games because of the omicron variant. You took the over rightfully. I went back and listened and you were like, if all this takes is one, then I got to go over, but you did also say, I don't think we're going to lose that many. That was so you were half right on that. As we sit here in early November of 2022, I'm going to do it again. I'm going to say, I'm going to take the under. I please let this be correct. I'm going to say under 0.5 games are canceled. Due to COVID-19. Where are you GP? I would need to know the testing protocols. And I honestly don't think this time last year we kind of knew what testing was going to work. Do you know how testing is going to work on campus? I don't know how that works. I was hopefully optimistic a year ago. Oh gosh, knock on all the wood. I could say, I'm going to take the over. I think a game will be canceled somewhere. You know, you're going to have somebody get somebody get sick, you know, mildly sick, and then you test. And then, and then, yeah, I think there'll be an outbreak somewhere. And good vibes only. I'm for COVID shots in. And I got my flu shot. I'm ready to go. I take all the vaccines. I can't get enough vaccines. I want all the vaccines. Every time I walk in, every time I go to Walgreens, just to get toothpaste and stuff. I walked to the back and I'm like, y'all getting new vaccines I can take. I want to take them all again anymore, those vaccines. You got any more shots you can give me. I love it. I love getting vaccines. You're a fiend for it. I do need to get my flu shot. Thank you for reminding me. I want to get it done soon. Okay, next one. Last year, I put the over under at 2.5 quart storms against duke and coach case final season. Duke only lost twice on the road last season. So I took the under and won because I took the under. You took the over on 2.5. They only lost twice. So I won that. They lost at Ohio State, which you called on the pod and they lost at Florida state. Question for you, not gonna say trivia time. Just a question. Did both Ohio State and Florida state fans storm the floor when they beat duke last year? What do you think? I think. Yes? They both did. Yeah. Duke only lost twice on the road, both times the court was stormed, but that did hit the under. So John Shire's first season. You know, has duke lost some of that villain component with coach K no longer in the bench. That's really going to be tested here GP Shire is a different guy. Duke has ten road games. All of them in ACC play this season and it's really 9 that are in the equation here because Carolina's never storming the floor when it beats duke. So I am going to set the over under this year this season at 1.5 court storms against duke. I'm going to go under because I know duke is the most hated program in college basketball. Very interesting to see what leaky black say about duke when we get to talking to him in just a couple minutes here. But I need to see if that level of hate truly transcends who is coaching the program. So I'm only putting it at 1.5, not knowing how good the team is going to be either. Do you go over under 1.5 court storms against duke and what will be 9 road games because again, UNC fans are not storming the floor if they beat duke. I'm going to go over. Just because I think duke's going to lose more than two road games. First your coach and a bunch of freshmen, like you're going to listen games. You just are. And I say that as somebody who thinks Jon Shire is going to be really good. I've got duke in my preseason top ten. But they're going to lose some games. And when, yeah, Mike won't be there, but it'll still be duke. It'll still be duke players. People will want to storm the court on duke. In terms of the duke hate factor, I think it'll still be there. I mean, people, I never really understand it because I don't hate things. It's a weird thing about my personality. I don't hate things. Like in terms of like, I'm a mets fan, but I don't hate the braves. I wouldn't mind seeing the Phillies when the World Series. Like, I like Bryce Harper. I like cash warmer. People are always like, so you must hate the braves. I'm like, I think Ronald Acuna is awesome. It's been some strikers amazing. Like Austin Riley lives down the street for me. You know, I don't hate things. So it's always hard for me to understand. Like, why do you hate duke or why do you hate Mike? But people did. They do. All right, I'm not trying to change the world here. I do think maybe some of that goes away to some degree over time. If only because the judge hires hard to hate. It's a good guy. It's a nice guy. Like, I don't know anybody. That's going to be a real dynamic with duke going forward. John scheier, we'll see if he's a good head coach. I don't know. But he's just a lot different from a public perception standpoint than Mike suski and that's why that's why I asked GP. I want to see actually I think people will not hate John Shire. Although there was the anti John shutter stuff when he was a player. Maybe people are going to hate you. How about this? You can hate John sharp. You want to, it doesn't matter to me, but just know John gyres like legitimately like a good dude. Like if you knew him, you'd like him. But still, the anti duke stuff will be there. I think the freshman are going to lose some games on the road. And then the court will be stormed. I'll go over 1.5. Okay, will the last undefeated team fall before January 1? A year ago, I said it would happen before. I got a trivia time times two. Okay. Number one. Was I right or wrong? Did the last undefeated team lose before January 1st, 2022?

"Nantucket several of the main downtown roads were covered in a foot of seawater There were videos where it's really hard to tell where the ocean ends and roads began in front of the local movie theater And at one point a group of high school students were even paddling the streets in a canoe So what about for people who live really close to the ocean They must be concerned about the long-term impact of storms like this one on their homes Oh absolutely Beyond flooding beach erosion is a really big problem for a number of those homes And a lot of attention right now is specifically on the sand dunes across the region because they're incredible They provide this service to the coast every time big waves come they act like this cushion but the problem comes when people build their homes on top of the dunes because they're eroding Also So in this one town called sandwich there are several dozen homes built on top of a dune And we don't yet know exactly how much erosion the storm caused but a state official who monitors coastal damage told me the dune has definitely changed Before the storm there's this kind of healthy slope down to the beach below Now it's a steep 8 foot drop And sandwich isn't alone There are other towns across the region where you can clearly see this storm has damaged the dunes Okay so given that what's top of mind for officials in these towns is to start to think about the reality of climate change there are likely more severe storms like this one in the future Absolutely I think that preparation is key for coastal towns generally one sandwich town official named Dave de canto said he's focused on cleaning up what's just come through of course but his mind is also on potential storms of 2023 already It's a long-term process and the planning has to go so far ahead We should be planning for storms now for next winter Storms like this underscore that sea level rise more frequent and intense storms all these impacts of climate change are forcing some in these towns to ask whether we need to rethink where we're building and perhaps whether we need to retreat altogether in some areas Eve took off with member station W C AI Thank you eve Thank you Leila Back in 2021 long before Russian troops began massing on the borders of Ukraine Russian president president Vladimir Putin published a long and rambling essay His writing referred to centuries of history and he argued that Russians and Ukrainians are essentially the same people He also suggested that the Ukrainians did not deserve to keep their current borders Putin was at least correct that Russians and Ukrainians share a lot of history but Ukrainians have a very different view of the past And Pierre's Greg myrie reports Ukraine was the breadbasket of the Soviet Union in the 1930s when Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin sees the rich fertile land from the local farmers They were forced into a collectivized state run agricultural system So these farmers had something that the Soviet Union considered to be too much and oftentimes this was something like they had a cow or a little bit of land It didn't mean that they were rich John shutter is a fulbright scholar He's been in Ukraine studying this period for his doctorate in history at Michigan state They are working in the fields and they are producing everything for the state and the state is giving them really nothing to eat The result one of the worst famines of the 20th century Between three and 5 million people died Survivors protested in rebelled for the next 20 years They were crushed but those events still resonate with Ukrainians when they talk about today's crisis And Ukrainians and especially the ones I talked to it comes up often It's a point of reference Well look what happened to my grandmother in 1932 33 or look what happened to my family I reached John shutter as he was reluctantly packing to leave Ukraine for neighboring Poland due to the threat of a Russian invasion The U.S. State Department told him to leave he's unsure when he might return When the Soviet Union was falling apart back in 1991 Ukraine held a referendum on independence A whopping 92% voted in favor Accelerating the collapse of the Soviet Union Professor Sergey plucky heads the Ukrainian research institute at Harvard He said some were surprised by that lopsided vote he wasn't That was the 5th attempt in Ukraine to declare and maintain independence in the 20th century Just last month Ukraine marked 30 years of independence but ploy says The sad irony of the situation is that we see Ukraine under attack Ukraine's independence has been rocky plagued by weak governments rampant corruption and a feeble economy Putin has made it even harder by repeatedly meddling in Ukrainian politics seeking to keep pro Russian leaders in power In 2004 Ukrainians pushed back with massive protests The so called orange revolution In a decade later in 2014 another round of demonstrations sent the country's president fleeing to Russia Putin has been a serial bungler when it comes to Ukraine Andrew Weiss is with the Carnegie endowment for international peace He says Putin's moves in Ukraine have often produced the opposite of what he wanted He's reanimated the NATO alliance He's given Ukraine more national cohesion and a stronger national identity And frame that identity on an anti Russian trajectory When Putin lost out politically in Ukraine in 2014 he sent the Russian military to seize Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula Today he's massed more than a 100,000 troops near Ukraine's borders He claims he's not planning to invade but also says he doesn't consider Ukraine a real country Scholar sir he plucky says Putin should ask Ukrainians how they feel The answer of the Ukrainian people will be are Ukrainians We want to live in Ukraine And we want this nightmare to end For now they're waiting for Putin's next move.
