"Zaxby's recently released a commercial that brought back the guy on the buffalo series from like ten years ago. And I have run into in the wild. Maybe two people that know what I had no idea what that was. I still don't know what that was. I feel like I failed you. Die on the buffalo. It's really honestly one of the hardest things to explain because it is literally a narrative series based on this old movie that is literally just a guy writing a buffalo into the wilderness and this band called jomo and the possum posse would narrate what's happening on the screen to this banjo heavy tune. And it is just one of the silliest series. We're seeing on YouTube and it's like, who would know this? Who would honestly know something like this would make a really great ad for a chicken chain? But it appeared in zaxby's and instead of buffalo, it was a buffalo wing. So you have this mountain man riding a literal buffalo wing in one of the strangest ads I've seen in like three years complete with like talking Woodland animals. And it was just so fun because it spoke to a specific audience. It didn't try to be everything to everybody. And that's where a lot of nostalgia trips up where you just have vague frost tips. And shiny materials and be like, this was the 2000s. And it's like, okay, but for who? This was very, very specific. And then recently, we covered, of course, the return of cakesters, Oreo cap stores. At the last standing blockbuster, they brought it back.

Save that No i think the reality of rebecca joe is chief much more for the national team. Then weirdly he achieved certainly a big clubs in italy I argue that. Probably after his the end of the second season at you've when you've made the shift towards by jomo's kind of became a problem because italian managers looked at him and especially back then. They're like well. How much running does he do off the wall. How you work. oh you know. He's not as good an athlete as as the he's not as strong. You know he's not as smart or whatever and so you know when you moved from there to To me line. It was almost like we're doing you favor to bring them on board. And i know i know it sounds crazy And then you know very tactical managers. Oh no you. you don't fit into my schemes. Gawky saying oh what are you doing. This guy cappella. Doing what i do is hit me. Does it was competitive. Time you know. And so then he goes to bologna. Scores a billion goals moves back to journ. It's all grey. Oh look By joviality or whatever and then it doesn't work out for him because you can't have many talking players on the pitch of the same time and the other guys are younger and better paid or whatever so that's kind of being the ark of his career and then obviously then he moves on goes to benicia and scores a taught goals until he's very very old but he's the weirdest thing we dodge and why he resonates with italy is that he seen first and foremost.

"The afterlife. Cosmology of many non-european religions christianity is able to offer the blessings of quote unquote heaven rather than the torch of quote unquote hell unless christians are able to convince people from other cultures that these are the alternative. Fates open to them in that day. That is the christians. Have the key then. Europeans lose one of the most persuasive tools they have wished to control other people's in the words of reinhold neiber only in a religion of revelation who's god reveals himself to man from beyond himself and from beyond the contrast by tattle the inform. Can man discover the root of sin to be with himself and in bt in his discussion of african religion says that traditional religions have no missionaries to propagate him and one individual does not preach his religion to another traditional religion not universal. They are tribal or national. The propagation of religion would involve propagating the entire life of the people. Look and jomo kenyatta says in guy google who religion there is no provision for official priesthood. Nor is there any religious. Preaching converting campaigns are of course a thing unknown. This is due to the fact that the religion is interwoven. Which traditions and social customs the people thus all members of the community are automatically considered to have acquired during their childhood teachings all that it is necessary to know about religion and custom the duty of imparting this knowledge to the children is trusted to the parents who are looked upon as the official ministers of both religious ethics and social customs all religions promote cultural nationalistic expression christianity's owning universal in that european cultural nationalism is characterized by universal or international imperialistic ambition. This theme will be kerr again and again throughout our study and recognition is crucial to an understanding of the uniqueness of the european minor political effectiveness of european cultural imperialistic ideology in the quest for world. Power it is a theme that is masked and subtly expressed in the presentation of european culture. The international character of the european political ambition or objective has been continually and tragically for its objects confused with spurious universalism of european cultural and logical identification in many respects. Of course this is precisely the effect of such formulations that become part of the armaments of european imperialism. The proselytisation of christianity has perhaps the greatest culturally immobilizing and demoralizing effect on its quote unquote objects.

"Post off seasons and finally happened and so they were saying the lakers need more shooting guy. The last four years is about forty percent on seven three point attempts per game. So that's how they're going to fill out their roster you're hearing good things about patty mills and or carmelo anthony. And the other thing that happened. Yesterday is what didn't happen yesterday. And that's schreuder didn't get signed all stop and tell me what's funny. Tell me what. I'm missing your anything. Tell me oh yeah. I'm sorry. I just love how you're trying to keep it together right now. This is the oldest roster in nba. History it feels like you got seven guys on guaranteed contracts. Six of them were thirty. Two took thirty two years of or older. And then you have four guys. As thirty five years of age. This is not going to get it done. i love how. You're being so optimistic but nick. This is not going to get it. Done so ages concern. You're a nets fan. The nets youth is who. I'm just curious. If you're a young up no tell me you. Only because of age. We don't have. We're not reliant. We're not relying on relying on thirty five and thirty six year olds. That's not. that's not the point. Getting the voters roster. It's not going to get it. Done buddy eater thirties. Katie's thirty three hold on hold on hold on. Let's let's be honest here. Katie's thirty-three hardens. Thirty two blake is an old dirty. Twenty kyrie's twenty nine. So you have. Lebron is the only guy older than that group. Lebron thirty six and then anthony davis i think is still pretty young. I'll check the birth certificate. I think he's twenty eight years old ross's thirty to twenty. So i if if the argument is that you know the bucks are younger and have more depth that's accurate but the argument is the lakers are too old within the nets are too old. You know who's really old wilde's the warriors they're all they're old. Well yeah. I mean we could check it. I would imagine the nets. Have one of the oldest rosters in basketball. So i like i win playoff games i think i think veterans playoff series. So i'm fine with an older team wild personally. Just that's just me budding young. Hey you're speaking my language. Showtime is back in los angeles now. Granted it's the two o'clock matinee that your grandparents go to what the same movies television cheaper. But still i am. Now the lakers guy jenna. I'm the lakers guy. Nick used to be the lebron guy. But hey you're playing basketball with a bunch of middle aged guys drinking wine and talking about the value in that holo speaking all day w language you would mean little guys and look brandon. You might say why because lebron's going to be thirty. Seven december raises thirty. Six dwight's thirty thirty five thirty six doesn't matter. We also have some breaking news. Nick a re-signing to pep if we can show the tweet here after the straight from toby johnson. We got news. Marcus hall announces plans to return to the rather than retire. Boom that's right. Let's keep rolling. Fellas no need to retire and i agree with you when we were talking about defense wins championships because member trevor. Rees eh when trae young tried to nutmeg. Guess what old guys. We're not into that. Tried to turn nutmeg me. Just what you're going to get pushed out of bounds. So i love it as a fellow old person of in here for it. I got tom brady. And i got the lakers. You and me buddy do peas and abbad. Let's go i. I understand that. I understand what you guys are saying. But i don't understand the point you're making so is the art. Our folks is anyone on this panel arguing. The denver nuggets are a championship favourite. Because they're young. Nicole is young. jomo murray's young. Michael was just talking about the lakers. A okay no. We're just because i'm a fan of the nets you can you. Can you can throw them in a conversation because you normal fan of the net. So it's really about the lakers in a nail. I talking about this. Not about the nuggets. Anybody asking no. I'm just asking who is the super young like we're talking about. The lakers were competing for championship. So who is younger not correct. That was going to out youth them. So that's the question. So like if the lakers age is a problem. It is a problem compared to whom. That's that's the question i have like. Who is this young team. Love that that is telling me Depending on this the science experiment how this pans out you guys have the potential to compete To come out the west one hundred percents. No doubt about that we got to see. You know how that big three jell together. What is going to do is going to continue to stay out there. And think he's a two guard. Standing on the perimeter is going to go really embrace the five i know. He said he was gonna do that. Let's see if he really does that. Lebron james lebron james wants to bring the ball up russell. Westbrook wants to bring the ball up. We saw we saw this before and houston in. It didn't work. So here's the problem. Nick is would. You just is competing for a championship. Do you guys have enough to beat the nets. Do you guys have enough to beat the books and the answer right now is no. There's no way healthy nets team. There's no way you beat them and there's no way you be your your team your favorite to win next year and that's the box and the best player will you deem the best player in the world right now yawn this. I just don't see it happening. And so listen i think right now. They'd be underdogs against the box. I i agree with that. And i think that y the way. The answer is the younger team that can win. Title is milwaukee milwaukee. Janas says younger than a d. drew. And chris middleton or in their very very early thirties and even though they have kind of tuned. They've got they've got a lot of youth there. They brought back bobby portis. That's the answer to me on that side of the bracket on the eastern conference because the heat got older by adding kyle lowry. The nets are a bunch of old guys and in the west you would say well. The sons have youth but they all predicated on a thirty six year old. Chris paul who has been shown his signs of age far more often than lebron shown his. But i i think that is the usually. Your concern with an older team is odd. Are they going to get out in transition. Well one that has russell westbrook is the point guard is going to do with. An older team is up. Are they going to be able to switch on defense. Well when you have. Anthony davis anchoring it the answer. That is yes you are like. I understand the on paper concern about age but the best teams in basketball right now. Our old teams. The nets are all the lakers rolled. The warriors rolled the heat. Our old ish. And then there's the sons with thirty six zero point guard and then there's the bucks who have the best of everything right now.

I'm still reeling after having watched all of the low keys diet at the beginning of yesterday, seasons and alleys. There was a bunch of them So I mean, the real low key didn't die. I mean, come on. I mean, all of them are gone, So it's uh It's really hard to to process and I'm sure you won't. I'm sure they'll bring Loki back. It's not a hard thing to do. That being said, Did you get a chance to see black widow? Did, uh, despite the spoiler that we talked about last week that was presented in End game. It was very good. I enjoy. You know what I just enjoyed Being back in the cinema because I don't know if you know this, Jomo, but I have a film degree from Michigan. So I worked in Hollywood for For four years, and you know it's to me that you know, that's That's a that's a pleasure of mine is being able to go and sit in a crowded movie theater. And I was so excited about seeing black widow I went and saw a quiet place to the very next night, you know, not as crowded theater and Wasn't nearly the spectacle, of course, but just It was it was fun. And I think that, uh, what's his name? David Harbour, and he kind of stole the show in black widow was he was really, really funny. Oh, you I say. Oh, you Well, I'm glad serious. I'm glad you had a good time Harbor. Given props to David Harvard, you know? I'd like to think of it as stranger things. The newest season is just took place on the big screen since we're still waiting on. The latest stranger things so That's true. I agree with that. I'll agree with that. I will. No, You're right. I'll agree with that. Um so, Isaiah What you've been doing What's going on? What do you know? Let's go. A, uh how's this football team preparing for the season? Well, they're not there yet. You know it's but we got big 10 media days, finally coming up a week from today. Be an Indianapolis favor. Right about now. I think it's about Opie Olive wrapped up. Being with Michigan players that I don't know who they're sending yet, but who the Michigan players are on the podium sessions. I think it's players. Maybe that's Harbaugh at that point, But nonetheless, I mean, I'm just excited for the sake that things are kind of that We're kind of back on a normal track here. And, uh, With that in mind like I paid the piece yesterday. Just kind of lamenting the lack of enthusiasm. Michigan fans and I understand things like the last couple years haven't gone the way people would have hoped. And 2019. I mean, That obviously wasn't it wasn't a good year, but it wasn't the disaster. People make it out to be, uh, in the sense of Michigan was competitive and almost all of the games not so much against Wisconsin and Ohio State, But I mean They were competitive with Alabama. They probably should have won at Penn State. Um And last year's kind of to me an aberration in the sense of It's hard to really gauge what any team was especially big 10 Pac 12, those Those conferences that shut down, you know, for a while, didn't get the full complement of, uh, practices and didn't get the whole normal normalcy of a normal college football season. So I kind of lament the fact that Right now. You don't have the type of enthusiasm you'd normally get. Knowing that college football season coming up, and I know people think Michigan is going to be not so good. I just read in 24 7 sports like a roundtable prediction of Big 10. They had Michigan fourth in the division. Find Indiana, Penn State and Ohio State. Predictions that Michigan was gonna go seven and five or worse. Hardball is going to be fired. But listen, the thing about college football and this is the point that I made. Outside of the college football playoff. Yeah. The only constant really is change right? Like we see it every every year where A team. You know, teams that You expect to be good aren't teams that aren't good end up being really good. I think experience plays a big factor in that and having a quarterback now we don't know anything things with Michigan but to me Uh, you know, I say, like I understand that people are in a wait and see type thing, but it's like that's the thing. Wait, you know, wait and see, but still get excited about it. I mean, this is the thing that you say that you love. I don't know any other major fan base that is As far in the doldrums is Michigan fans seem to be right now because There's a lot to really like. Lot of it has to come together. You know, you look again at the running backs room. You got Mike Hart coaching them again. You've.

You have the seventh-place finish the loss of nigeria. How concerned are you howard beck about. Usa basketball. It's just an exhibition game. Chris oh no no. It's not just an exhibition game. Stop this team was thrown together over the last however many weeks they had what like three practices. I think i'll ever. Us team is thrown together. What are you talking about. There's no team. There's no no mid season practices for usa basketball. No but the nigerian team has been practicing. What i'm saying is some of the play in the nba though wants win the nba nba. A few of them play in the nba but that team has had time together more so than the team. Sorry brown coaching. that team. That i missed was that a facsimile of mike brown on the bench all season long. What what are we talking about. The warriors have been out for like two months kris k. Okay so two months. that's what matters. That's that's the number three three practices. Also they're still missing. I believe at least three guys because they're playing in the finals right now. Booker middleton chris paul get it. Yes not chris. Ball's not playing a holiday with the the what holland is your holiday. Those those guys will matter especially given that middleton and holiday are to the better perimeter defenders that that team. Usa has and if you look at the rest of team usa's roster. I don't see a ton of great defenders. There there are a few. I think those three guys by the way are going to be exhausted by the time they get to. They may well be. They may will be so. We're going to judge them. Judging when their whole judge when the games matter to strange to me like we don't judge nba teams based on the preseason but we judge team usa based on these exhibition games. That they do going into international competition. I feel like it's thirty. One point favorites. Why why is there betting line on a freaking exhibition better training but a little league baseball. Now country degenerates damn right. I didn't mean chris i'm with. Let's go monday. Nigeria money line. I just. I can't get too excited about this. If they lose the rest of the exhibitions does that mean something. Yeah that might be alarming if they're if they're still struggling to find some cohesion. That could be alarming. But i mean the talent is obviously their talent alone doesn't win on the international stage in style of game is different team ball matters. Shooting matters like yeah. There's a bunch of budget stuff that comes into play. But i i find the panic over this loss or at least the outcry to be a little bit much. So you don't take into account the seventh-place finish in two thousand nineteen. I mean that to me. It's the it's not just as game. The totality of it right. Like and i don't know howard like so in the early two thousands the world kind of caught up to the us ninety to ninety six thousand us. Gold maps then comes the two thousand two world championships in indianapolis and that's seven. The place finish was one of the worst worst outcomes in at least recent usa history. They got it together after that. They hired jerry colangelo. They bringing mike chef ski. They get their act together. Two thousand six two thousand eight then. They run off. Three consecutive years are three consecutive cycles of gold. Medals is argon. Made that like the world's caught up again that somewhere along the way and the last four or five years. The rest of the world has once again caught up usa basketball. I'm trying to understand this. I mean that's close games in those olympics cycles. No question about it. But i can't imagine the oh eight. Twelve or sixteen team losing nigeria. I can't exhibition or otherwise. I can't see it happening. No team and the and the one that followed it were built around like lebron koby. Carmelo enjoying wait. I mean that that groups at another level like as good as this group is that we're seeing right now as talented as they are after k. D. tatum's really good damian. Lillard is great. I mean come arbit- tatum. Bill lillard auto bio levin. Draymond dream ends up there in years but one has won some things. Jeremy grant jeremy grant zach living out of like. These are guys who have done anything in the nba yet. But they're all stars most they're they're also but are they to level of lebron kobe now but do you think is that what you're saying then is that what you're saying to be at the level you need to have like i'm saying the crop to win. I'm saying that if we're going to start comparing the twenty twenty one team to the twenty eight a two thousand eight two thousand twelve teams there is. There is not an equivalent right now. Lebron kobe laurent cobaine weight. And plus what we what. We called olympic. Mellow like carmelo. Didn't have the success in the nba. That some of his teammates did but carmelo in terms of talent level and certainly has resume like that group was at a whole other level. That group is a different level than jason. Tatum bam outta bios. Zach levine. Okay so not saying that you necessarily should have to have that level of time firepower to win an exhibition game against nigeria. Or anybody else. But i am saying comparing usa to itself different iterations of team usa. This one is not that one. This is not as dominant group as the ones we saw in eight and two thousand twelve. It just isn't what do you do like. What's the solution here. Like i mean i jerry. Colangelo deserves an enormous amount of credit for rebuilding that program when it was at. Its nadir mitra chefs. He comes in enormous amount of credit for what they did. But as we sit here in twenty twenty one like it's almost to me howard like the usa basketball rebuilding. The program became cool. Like lebron wanted to do it. Chris paul like dwayne wade. These guys wanted to do it and then they did it. And i think playing for usa basketball didn't become quite as cool as it was fifteen years ago. Like is that what has to happen like does not need to have like a fifth place finish in tokyo for all of a sudden the next generation of a-list stars wherever that may be in two thousand twenty four to come back into the mix and is that the only way this team can win. I mean i think we need to pay attention to the overall context like obviously one. These olympics were supposed to happen a year ago. They're delayed a year because of covid got durant out of it though like that right. It's questionable whether these the olympic should be happening at all still but along the way because of these back to back brutal seasons and everything else like team. Usa doesn't have james harden right now. Doesn't have anthony davis because of the injury doesn't have steph curry doesn't have kyrie irving doesn't have lebron kawai again. If your argument is that the second or third tier it sounds like sounds like insulting. Somehow but if you're saying that the next wave believe after those guys should still be good enough to dominate on the world stage. Maybe but if the point is that the team as best are they still. Are they still able to win. Gold fairly easily. Your probably but a bunch of them aren't on this team right now because of injuries and just the stress of the last year or two so this this is not necessarily representative of the best of the best right now. It just isn't and yes. They should still be good enough to win. Yes the world has caught up to some extent. No the the group that at nigeria's put it put out there last week. Does not leap off the page improbably. Us should've still want it. But again i exhibition game after like three practices. Let's see what happens with the rest of this. This schedule out brought mellow back. I mean he's not what he was four years ago. Eight years ago twelve years ago but the guy knows how to play international basketball. He might have sat. maybe. I guess. I didn't really. I assume that he just want to keep. He didn't kind of like four formerly re retire from the olympics. But it'd be pretty much says like i'm done like lebron kinda did to get talked into it. I feel like. I don't know if i was if i was the usa team would try really hard to get carmelo blake because his style. Whatever it is to the nba is perfect for the national basketball. He's a really good or national basketball player. On this subject damian lillard. He spoke for the first time. Since the hiring of chauncey billips. Only listen to what little had to say about his future in portland. I'm prepared to go in and do my job every year. Like hopefully we make strides over direction and could become a better team a new coach notice. That's where i am. What soured it sounds like. Lillard is at least nominally on board with going back to the blazers. But if i'm a team out there with assets. I don't listen to that response and say well it's over damian. Lillard is back on the same page with the portland trailblazers. If i'm a team with assets i hold onto those assets because it feels to me like the blazers might be one like sixteen to start from blowing that whole thing up with louis mccollum on the way out the door so get the sense now. That seems more likely than not that damian lillard at blazers training camp. He's in ablaze uniform. He starts the season with the portland trailblazers. But if it doesn't work with chauncey billips early and you get close that trade deadline. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see portland decide. Look we've got a. We've got to do something here and opened the door for damian lillard trade. What do you think. I think that nothing has changed. I think that his remarks last week because he sounded a little bit lukewarm. Or just you know you hear one of two things. Well you want to hear one thing if you're a portland trail blazers fan or if you're just looking for any indication that lillard is all in your you want to hear him say listen. I know things are rough right now. But i'm all in you know this is. This is where. I want to be you to repeat all the usual talking points that you hear from players in his position and that we've heard from bradley beal that we used to hear from james harden houston. Which is a win in phil in city fill in the blank with the city. I want to win here. I don't wanna go somewhere else. You know we're going to get this right blah blah. He didn't go down the usual list. And so i think it left open. Some interpretation but getting has changed like the disappointment was clear when the season ended. Some of the things have happened since including obviously the the the train wreck away they went about the the coaching search and lillard. Being caught in the crossfire. There at feeling heat from fans about chauncey billips being selected and so. I don't think we should expect he's going to be rah. Rah right now The trailblazers have a lot of work to do. But we also have not even hit the summer yet. Like there's the draft hasn't happened yet. Free agency hasn't happened yet. There's there's a lot of work to be done. And i think if you're damian lillard which you're probably doing is internally saying here's what i need to see happen externally saying you know what let's let's wait and see i mean you see. He can't he can't say publicly the same things that he's telling say neal o'shea right about what the the state of the roster i i would think that there are some very impassioned debates or discussions being held behind closed doors about what they need to get this thing right and if they can't get it right the he might shift is his stance about staying there long term. But that hasn't happened yet that we know of. What do you think the most interesting potential conversation is amongst players over these next four weeks like i'm kind of curious what jason tatum bradley beal talk about. Tatum and beal close friends dating back to their highschool days both went to the same high school bill with something of a mentor to jason. Tatum actually got him involved with his trainer. Drew hanlin which helped. Tatum elevate his his personal skills and they've talked about how happy they are to be playing together. Played the all star game together for the first time beal last year of his contract. Like you know we've seen these conversations yield real tangible conversation. You'd like to be a fly on the wall on for any of these guys in the next couple of weeks. Yeah i mean look we. We have a history now going back over a decade. If we're to believe that the that the heels were formed in part through team usa activities. You know which is true which is true. That's that's yielded an extra things guy. You know guys who you mentioned. Tatum and bill because they were already friends but guys also become friends through this experience right and then they start getting the ideas about playing together. Like oh hey. This is a lot of fun. Let's do this again in the nba. So there's i'm i'm sure some of that is is happening. It always does. Who else in that group. I mean man. If any of these guys that'd be trying to recruit bam out a bio but he's too early in his in his contract with miami to pry him loose from there And you know the heater still a pretty potent team but you know jimmy butler is up there in miles and outta bios future won't necessarily be there forever. That's the way it goes in the nba. I think tatum has the potential to be like the biggest recruiter. They're like he's about to start the first year of his max level extension. He can recruit bill. But like you can also does damian lillard like. It's great to play in boston. I love it here. Answer some questions of my have a playing on the east coast for the first time. Like i think data might be boston's best asset at this point. Yeah again some of this comes down to bradley. Beal's coming up to that point where he has the leverage to task out because of his contract lillard under contract for several more years and so he's not in that position. So what if it says. Like i need to go like. I don't foresee the blazers being no finish your contract. Just don't see it. i think right. And they would work with him on a deal to sure but directing it is harder so beal can use the leverage of his free agency to say well if you send me to team x. I'm not gonna resign there. Which then blows up that deal and he can direct himself to the team he really wants to be at lillard would have a harder time to doing that. Because he doesn't have free agency looming two to play that card. Yeah well i encourage any reporter. That's in tokyo tatum. Beal and lillard talking to each other. Just take a picture and then let the internet go wild crazy because it will unquestionably last thing for you. Howard the breaking news. This week in the coaching ranks. Is that jamal moseley is headed to orlando moseley of course last with dallas. A really well respected assistant coach there. Who was a candidate for that. Maverick job before. It went to jason kidd my immediate reaction to that higher howard beyond i think being an excellent choice for orlando is that we're gonna look at at moseley and jason kidd on parallel tracks. The next couple of years moseley. There was a strong case to be made that he should have been elevated to that head. Coaching job he'd been considered for other head coaching jobs. Before most recently in new york he had by all accounts a great relationship with luka doncic i understand bringing kit in he's got a history with dallas and as riccar lau said publicly having a player that played the game like kid and having a player that plays the game like don-shik make some sense to pair those two guys together. But there's always going to be as i watched these two situations unfold. I'm gonna wonder you know. Did the mavericks make the right choice. Leading jamaa moseley go and bringing jason kidd in and there's so many variables in this the first being at orlando's in step one or maybe even steps zero of a massive rebuild right there in the negatives right now. I think there's still maybe more fat to trim on that roster before they really bottom out. Yeah and you know you talk about trying to build around. You know markelle foltz. And and jonathan isaac jonathan isaac for so long. They're getting hurt and he's a great player but they've loved writing in a weird way john stays healthy. He's still more of a complementary store right like he's he's a potentially defensive player of the year at some point. He's not a guy who you're building an offense around though and marquel foltz okay. He he got himself back on track in orlando. He has a career now where he didn't have one but he's not a foundational building block. Come on like that's crazy so the roster doesn't have much talent jamal. Moseley's is coming into a situation. Which a lot of first time head coach is committed to which is all right. There's a lot of work to do so You're gonna have to do a lot of development. You're going to have to take a lotta lumps in the win loss column. It's gonna be rough going for the first year or two or maybe three. Let's see how they can get things going. But you know as it has been a certain other like kenny. Atkinson came to look a completely hopeless situation in brooklyn but was known as development coach in atlanta. And sure enough. Everybody who went there. Joe harris spencer. Dinwiddie jared allen versus lower. First round picks. Guys who were you know whether they were reclamation projects whether they were low picks everybody seems to get better the second they went to brooklyn and play kenny atkinson and his staff congenial. Moseley have the kind of effect in orlando can the front office. Get him to kind of guys. That will thrive in that in that kind of environment and carve out careers from cells and carbon identities. Jamal moseley has a lot going for him. And we've heard like many great things about it but we often hear great things about assistant coaches who don't end up panning out so i always. We have to caution ourselves on these things. Because i thought. Brian shaw was gonna be a great head coach and he was. Everybody loved him all the players sung as praises when he was associate head coach under frank. Vogel indiana he goes to denver probably just the wrong guy at the wrong time but he hasn't had another shot since then but that went really badly. Brett brown was really great in in some respects for the for the early years of the process and then suddenly. It seemed like they'd hit some sort of ceiling. Eager kokoschka of had been talked about for years is a great assistant. Coach didn't work out. Swells head coach in phoenix. David dale bumpy ride in memphis and then disastrous in new york. We just don't know like luke walton. Another example like there are plenty of coaches who as their when their assistance. We hear and see the best of them and then you know some of them be go on it and have great success coaches. I mean tyler has been fantastic. Mike malone has been fantastic money williams. Nick nurse dwayne casey a lotta longtime assistance. Get their shot and then you know it. It works out in a dozen. It's all contextual. It's all just the opportunity you have the thing for dallas is. They went with a guy who has experienced jason kit. That experience was not necessarily good experience. Like i think most people around the would look at what he did in milwaukee in brooklyn and say. I'm going to steer clear. Maybe you'd rather have the the unproven. Jamal moseley versus the somewhat proven jason kidd but. I don't think we'll know what the right choice was there for a while yet. Because it's it's gonna take some time before we can evaluate moseley as head coach. I maybe jason kidd learned something in two years as an assistant. I mean that happens. You know working with lebron for entire for two entire seasons working under frank vogel maybe picked up some things that'll be useful to him as a head coach. Moseley to me. The key is giving him time. Like you've got to be committed to moseley for a minimum. I think of three years and more likely five years. And then you see what you have in head coach. You mentioned gore. I mean it's worked out for phoenix. Absolutely but i do think he got hosed out there i mean he only had one year on the job and that year was without deandra aiden chris. Paul had devon booker of course but that was not a good team that he was coaching. There i gotta get moses the because you want to see what the guy can do when you put that team in a position to win a great example to me is james breglio in charlotte. I mean berea. Was one of those guys assistant coach elevated to head coaching position in charlotte. Not great first couple of years there but when he was given players and chance to win he did pretty well. I mean up until lamelo ball went out the horns were really good team and i think they will be a good team. Going forward in part because of the borrego is a pretty good coach. I want to see this magic team. Invest heavily in jamal. The you're the guy developed these guys and we'll keep you around no matter what the won loss record says until you get a chance to win then you judge like brett brown six or seven days since brett brown left but i can see the for letting go of brett brown. I mean they had a talented team and to a degree the underachieved. But you've got to let the coach get a roster on that level before you really make any decisions about whether they can coach. Yeah well and that's the thing about. This is what set up says apart. I think the good organizations from the bad ones is that you you decide when you choose a guy. Especially if he's a longtime assistant not a guy with head coaching experience. And you've said we believe in this guy. This is somebody who's got a great trekker record as an assistant. We're going to first opportunity. It's your obligation to when you say investment. Yeah it's time investment. It's a give them all the tools to succeed. Give him the time to succeed. You've decided you believe in him. So stand behind that have the conviction to stand behind that and take some bumps along the way you know maybe maybe memphis and or the knicks should have stuck with david physed longer. You know we had heard nothing but great things about fiscal coming out of miami. Initially we may yet you know. Find out that he. He can be great head coach in the right situation. Maybe those worth rights situations. He might be one of those guys though. I love physios and assist one of those guys. Though the just the temperament is always important. Like the government like memphis yet. Some battles with market assault didn't work out your plus new york. You just might be one of those guys that doesn't have the right temperament to be is based on what we've seen a memphis in new york might be better suited for these ranks but if he succeeds in l. a. I think he'll get another chance right. Maybe i think the point being though that if you as an organization have identified a guy instead he we believe in him then. Okay then believe in him. Stick with them and make sure you've given them enough tools to succeed Is it a pulling the plug at the first sign of of struggle and that's what happens in the nba. too often. is that seems panic. You know the fans turn. There's some minor flare up. Oh the coach and player got into it. Whatever it may good teams that can happen on as well. And it's it's just. It's the way franchises. React so you have to know whether or not the guy is is is right and then stick with them. And so yeah. Let's jomo's should get a nice long here. She got a ton of latitude in orlando given where they are as an organization given the state of that roster. Yeah i agree. Howard enjoy milwaukee looking forward to hearing the conversation with the lazarus on friday. You can check podcast. Right here on the crossover feet again. Make sure you listen to howard's interview. Spencer dinwiddie from last week. It was really really strong. Enjoy -joy the mid west our. We'll talk when you're back on the northeast always a pleasure. My friend the newest player in the pre nba basketball landscape is overtime. Elite elite will begin playing sometime in the fall. And we'll be headlined by some of the top now. Former high school players in the country players would be paid minimum one hundred thousand dollars with some making north of that and have access to high level facilities training as well as educational programs to help. Get a better grasp on that. I'm joined by brandon williams the head of basketball operations for overtime. Elite and kevin ollie the former. Nba guard uconn. Coach was the head coach and director of player development bread. And i want to start here with you. Just kind of give me the ten thousand foot view overtime elite. What are the objectives. What what what was behind the formation of this league. I think any of us. Chris who've been around for a long time i've actually seen Sort of the downside of young players who entered into professional ranks to this point. It's been the nba Who are not ready. And so what does that mean you know not not ready to form and be stars or is it just not ready to be great teammates or is it not ready to be good partners. is sort of all that you know the idea that the work day is much longer than they know. And that there's more responsibility to be in a professional athlete The responsibilities to families and communities we just have to do a better job preparing them and here was an opportunity to be part of a program that wanted to address all that. It's not just about being a good player. It's like we wanna address the whole athlete. Hope so on. Three levels were hitting basketball. Easiest thing understand. I think businesses in our world is education And then there's brand you know. These young people now are moving at a speed that we aren't as older folks and they want to build things An earlier age particularly off the court so building a brand is important something that can last well beyond their tread on tire so we're hitting it in basketball business brand. That's that's that's really thirty thousand foot view. Kevin what attracted you to this job. Just like his dad is the whole person being able coach them from a mind body and soul Experience and understanding the mindfulness athlete I've seen it from a pro level. Got up tune into play thirteen years with twelve different teams so i understand like the different trials and tribulations you go through with a player not saying that these players are gonna go through that but is getting them more prepared if they do come into some certain situations where it's not typically going the right way. How can they manage that situation. So what they do today can echo into tomorrow and having the ability to kana paint on a black blank. Canvas is what a really attracted to me to to this you know. Ot league program we can take the player really shape the curriculum you not with teaching them about subjects. But we're really teaching them about themselves as well from media training From mental health issues. All the different things that come involved because we all know chris is stress. You know from success is a lot of pressures is a lot of people pulling at you. It's a lot of people won't certain things. But how do you deal with that from a player's standpoint where you can play when you get on the basketball court and half clear and not be caught up in the distractions of off the court issues. Um as desks desks were really kind of vocal. Spirit to give back in it and how these kids you know. Have these players be available at the moment of truth to make the right decisions and that was very important to me. Kevin as you mentioned you played in the nba brand. You played in the nba. As well i wanna ask both of you guys and kevin. I'll start with you like if this was available to you as sixteen. seventeen year. Old looking back. Would you have founded attractive with a definitely founded attractive You know i kind of thought the box anyway. I was from chris. Shaw from from from south central and i chose connecticut. So you places that. I didn't even know nothing about growing up. You always thought out the box and never wanted to go down a path that everybody was going down So i was always curious. And i think that's how my mom especially my mom. My dad raised me. So i definitely been curious of this situation. No no speaking now without you know took it. I'm not sure. But i think it really gave me another option to look at it and this is what we're trying to do not saying that the ncaa is wrong overtime. Leaders wrong or right. It's not about that. It's about if you really care about the student. Athletes you give them as much options as possible. And i think this gives the lee student athlete. Another option and i think you know it's a very Great option for them to have and if they choose overtime league we're going to give our whole heart to make sure they're developed on and off the basketball court chris i- jumping after coach It would have been interesting. Chris but i certainly would not have been a candidate i would. Let's just get that right. What what things that's important. We sit down going through just grassroots community and we spent months just talking to people educating about. You know what we're about who we are. Each of us has a reputation in some other space. Not here The this program isn't for everybody is not the right fit for everybody. We are cherry picking and a lot of ways. These are players that feel like they are destined for professional basketball. There are a lot of sixteen year olds. That don't know that yet and their parents aren't convinced that yet in people that support them. Don't don't feel that confidence yet. They may be another year away or two years away but this is not. This is not the right path for everyone. Twenty four athletes roughly twelve per class. We're looking at juniors and seniors and the truth is at this age. What was really funny about scouting them is everybody's skinny and like a lanky and underdeveloped and still has like a mountain of upside to you know to to get through before you can really see who they're going to be but you know if you have a young player like brand williams who's just dreaming of being an nba player but does not much certainty. That's even realistic We gotta be very careful about this approach In taking because there there are risks but for those that that have already established in this deke. They've established a day of separated from their class. You know jaylen. Lewis has an example the most recent example. He's he's he's elevated in separate. The draft isn't tomorrow though so there's still a lot of work to do but he's already in front running physician and it gives everyone low confidence that this is the kind of investment and the kind of pet that would make a ton of sense for players like that. Let me follow up on that brandon. Because you're you're entering. What suddenly become a fairly crowded space in terms of leagues like this. You know the g. league ignite is one season in but they've had a measure of success. We've seen jalen green probably a top pick. Jonathan kamenga top five or six. Then you have the ncw with this. Recent ruling allowing top players to make money off their name image and likeness. How does how does the elite separate itself from that group. Why think i is. We start a little bit sooner so the g. league zone a great job with what we call it a year the prep year that year. That a recent graduates would be going to college and they've already been hacking the system you know going to italy or china So so there's a market for those players and we want an alternative to college for for for us though. Our players are seeking an alternative to high school so we are a school but we think about the resources that were bringing to the table first of which being an nba like environment You know start coach. Ali coach lehto in a robust set of staff. I mean scouting staff a high performance staff administrative team. Our goal was to simulate an nba organization for for young athletes at sixteen seventeen eighteen. Th there there is no other environment. Like that. And i think the big way that we separate with high school athletes Is that both domestically and internationally. We're able to put twenty four of them together in a building. So what we're selling is the best competition for these guys starts at home. I mean every day in line coaches don't minister drills administer competition aspects of practice and getting ready for games but when you look to the right and left and i noticed as a player. There's no weak link. I mean everywhere you look. There's somebody that's doing what you're doing and possibly doing more. Because they they are not just dreamed about the into the league or to the high level. They're on their way there That's where we've been able to. I think create a little separation from others that have tried or looked at something. Like this kevin. How do you approach this job. Do you do it in a similar mindset and you had at uconn where you have young players you also you know yukon. You had to keep them academically eligible you to follow that pretty closely. I mean is there is it a similar mindset or do you take a different tact. I think you just let it be you know. Similar is not. It's just whatever comes you say yes to it and you cultivate hope from it I never coached high school players. They was always you know graduated from high school. And now they're freshman's This situation is a little different in in was recruiting for two to three years. This situation is a little different. But you know from me. Chris i love the unknown about it. And that's the space i live in. Not just wanna make sure that. I have the space incorporate something in these players that they can just think about it can build from a have a foundation so when they make the transition they have every tool in the toolbox to say okay. Oh that's a problem Assess it let me be able to correct it. Let me obsessed. Let me be aware of it and i think that's the difference between you know coaching a high school kid in in the college. Kid i mean you get able to mold them a little bit better and then you have to understand where they at. Now you know back then. I didn't have social media. We didn't have social media now. These kids these players are building their brand a little bit earlier and now you just meet them where they are. And i can't wait to get them up on campus get them up until atlanta just continue to build a great relationship. Welcome spend time with the one on one in. This situation is going to provide us to do a lot more skill development that i didn't have a really good opportunity and it had not one say good opportunity. I didn't have the best opportunity. Because there's so many things we own a row recruiting You own a row fundraising these different things. Brandon's taken care of in. Dan porter is taken care of. I can just really coach the player and work on his skill development on and off the basketball court. So it's really given me my own lane. So i can really perform my job. Mama job is really breaking down and relationships it starts. Relationship is start with trust. Stars will hold is spending time with the the young student athletes on and off the basketball court and pushed them to greatness and the competition is not on. our side of competition is with him. You know can you beat your previous best bestself. Can you be better than today you know. Can you be better tomorrow than you were date. And that's what i'm coaching. And that's what i love to do. And i think we're going to have some great young man as open as biden has going to be vulnerable going to try to reach for the sky. In the sky is going to be ob- you is not going to be limits. I can't wait to get up to atlanta. We've been having some many camps. Chris has been wonderful to get back on the court with the guys. And i'm looking forward to the next mini camp and dan looking forward to getting them up to atlanta. So we really can go to work. You know when. I was was talking to brian. shaw a couple of months ago. Kevin about how he was coaching. The ignite you know it was a lot of pro stop. He was trying to bring to that team. Are you taking that same. Approach you trying to coach them like their nba players or something different. No it's nothing different is just. I'm building pro. Habits in every situation is going to be different. Chris this is going to be some guys. Come in you know. Say for instance like a. John montero will we got him and he you know is a little bit more advanced than some other players because he's been a pro- already and then it's going to be another situation where we gotta talented guy might not be able to get quick but these opportunities we can go at our own pace we can sit down and talk to them but we're really teaching and building pro habits and those habits is going to translate over to them being great pros when that opportunity come invest in the nba are the euro league so every day you know we are building like a practice plan like more of a college practice plan nba practice bandwidth doing drills. That i got from my numerous stops in the nba. You know we're doing sets in the nba. Then we gotta understand that sixteen years old as well you know and maybe sometimes you gotta you know kinda doubt it down a little bit. But i'm gonna let com. I'm going to let that go. i'm not going to focus on one of it. I'm not gonna say oh. We're doing this process. Each and every day every day is different. And that's what i love about the unknown. And i'm gonna treat it like that and we just gonna continue to bill because i think we got great mas and organization that really want to coach the whole person. And that's what i'm really excited about. You decided to upgrade your outdoor deck. So you ordered the essentials. Power washer said a patio chairs and a shiny new grill. And you use your bank of america. Customized cash rewards credit card choosing to earn three percent cashback online shopping and up to five point. Two five percent preferred rewards member which you put toward your most essential deck addition a bird feeder of yours at bank of america dot com slash more rewarding copyright two thousand twenty one bank of america corporation support for this podcast comes from invent together according to studies less than thirteen percent of all inventors who hold a us patent are women black and hispanic college graduates patent at half the rate of their white counterparts. But we can fix that by increasing participation innovation and patenting by underrepresented groups. It would quadruple. The number of american inventors and increase annual gdp by almost one trillion dollars. Invent together is a coalition of organizations companies. Universities and concerned citizens committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to invent and patent because the more diverse. The american patent system gets the stronger and more successful. our nation will become. What can you do to help. Divers inventors patent and unleash economic opportunity. Find out at invent together dot org learn more and take action today brandon not to continue to compare this team to the ignite but when i talked to sharieff abderrahim about that i mean. I had asked him about the sustainability of that team. Given how much. Money was being poured in to pay some of the players. And he bobbed and weaved floyd mayweather trying to answer that question. Because it's it's hard to commit to it without say a television contract more sponsorships and things like that when you can you speak to kind of the sustainability of this because we've seen startups with an influx of cash. Get get in big the first year. But then peter out. I mean what needs to happen. Four overtime elite to become a long term successful program while has got to answers. I think you know a concept. I mean we're we're selling on the ability to develop young players and have a more more pro ready right. So this is. This is the path we are offering basketball development. Call it professional Business development And we are also like leveraging. What is an incredible media platform that again. The things that we like to call a distinguishing factors. That's a huge one. So not to bob and weave one. We gotta be good ass. You know that. That's how have long deputy spurs the spurs. They were good for really long time. And so we've got the that there were good at this note. No pressure on kale right The the the second piece though is you know and this comes from my my time in the nba. It just wasn't that long ago where it out of chicago. Pre-draft combine interview. If i said. I wanna build my brand. Everybody in the room was like smirking and like you know what. What are we talking about like. It's about basketball basketball basketball And you know if you are young team developing and not winning a lot of games truth is you can't sell just basketball because your basketball isn't great you got to sell personalities and stories in that there's something that people can invest in in fall in love with other than like the final score like otherwise. The sixers had no chance right any any development team yet to buy into a story and for us. I think we have a chance to create stories but we get a chance to show those stories because we have a platform. So it's it doesn't take much. I mean i'm not a social media guru. But when i got recruited for this job haven't been around the block a little bit certainly from an nba perspective. I heard a couple of things. I really got my attention. One was fifty million followers That's eyeballs and we all know that that Business follows the eyeballs in whatever in whatever respect. The other was which is unfair. Because i think that number changes month over month but it started at one point four and not set maybe one point eight or one point nine billion with a b. billion views of content a month that overtime in some ways has found a way to the heart. The mind of young people It is being communicated and solid as you know the generation z. sort media and content engine We are doing an amazing thing here which is developing young talent in a pure way that we want to make sure that they are prepared. Top to bottom to do well on the court to do well and communities to do well in business but then there's this other thing which is they want to be known like. No player wants to play in an empty building. Everybody wants to play where it matters. They wanna play. When nick can rock and like the building and just like recognizing their talent. We're just artists. And one thing that is kind of showcase. By one event that that overtime overtime the media company producing s called. You see it on youtube to. Is that over. Hundred million people watched that. I mean that that's not an insignificant number that players that are going to play overtime. Lee will have the opportunity to be known The the opportunity of bring brick big brands to the table and support this platform If not already indicated by the kinds of investors that that have shown interest but the brands that are coming to the table our sustainability is going to be showing value delivering value to not just the athletes but to overtime visibility. I would imagine great for them but can you monetize it. Can you make it so this league is in the black or does it need to be in the black every year. Well my the good news is as a basketball man. No different than a different than the is Get a budget. My job is to be fishing and and spend wisely. I i'm not. I'm not asked to sell tickets or generate revenue that's for a tremendous And in successful a business operations Our job is to make sure that what we are delivering is high is a high level product That you see the growth and development of our young players. What's there recruited. We gotta make them better. They need to be able to perform and probably the best testament of our success is going to be our nba. Gm voting with this pick right but with a coach saying like they did a nice job. This guy was. Well coached testament to takeo and the rest of the coaching staff. That if we're doing that will prove successful. Because guess what the next crop of recruits when we're in the gym like we're not chasing them. There's sort of meeting us at at minimum half way. We need to keep bringing high level taliban and developing talent to prove successful and i have a tremendous set of partners across academics and across content media. That will will do their part to elevate our business. Can you expecting to tap into some of your. nba relationships. I mean as you mentioned thirteen teams in twelve seasons. You've made a lot of friends over the years. We're going to see like san preston sitting in the crowd for your practices as a whole so sam and so many gyms that i know you know Kevin durant and all these guys are destinies in overtime. Just having them be around. We had our first minicamp. Ray allen showed up and not only showed up. He brought his son to work out with guys. Just it was just amazing. does just see how the branches that we can continue to pull up on and they continue to pull on us and be a partnership in. This thing is going to be great. Are you expecting to have kind of drop ins. Durant's involved with the league. You expecting these guys. Just be around. Which i would imagine would be both a resource for you but also an attractive quality to this league definitely. Definitely we going to build a place where it's going to be hopefully a development premier development destination for everybody and you know hopefully katie can come out and work out with guys and russell westbrook and james harden and all these guys that we know and i know i had opportunity to be evolved. Then it's kinda beat a veteran guys We want them to be around. Because it's not. Just me sean. It's also watching tape like these are the different drills and look how k. d. and look how chris paul is using the pick and rolls and now they're showing up that's a that's a big big bang for us with us growing these young talented student athletes To get them inspired to the next level and they're doing a great job done only gonna do. I coached him. Chris a coach me on a day to day basis. I'm open to that and we just really want to have a love affair with guys and and the end of the day chris. We want appease the basketball guys. We wanna play the right way. We want to share a basketball. We wanna run. We wanna have fun. We want how to join the game but it can't just be me me me. It has to be weak. And i'm wanting to teach guys how to be involved in any system they get drafted about. They can be a part of a productive system and be a productive partner in in the community as well no matter what city they when they arrive to the nba brandon. Before let you go. What schedule gonna look like i mean is this team playing. Just walk me through kind of what these kids are getting into. And what kind of schedule you gonna be able to put together so schedule that that is really interesting for everybody. And i wanna try to illuminate. But i've got to be careful we are still contracting with some teams But for the audience the think about it in buckets. We're gonna play independent prep schools. That's going to be a significant part of our schedule. We are a high school so we are looking to schedule. Some of the top independence that you would typically no to have a national schedule can travel that have the ability to be mobile. We're scheduling home and away with with With those folks and it looks like net set as an example It looks like you know. Folks that are playing for a national title Arizona florida california. So it'll be a widespread travel schedule for us. We're also looking at European competition so think about junior euroleague as an example. Some of the best clubs the Insects as an example Where we can get a collection of sixteen to nineteen year old elite talent to compete against us. And then as i mentioned earlier on the show we really feel like the best competition is gonna come internally and that's where our league play Comes into effect so we are looking at our group of twenty four as three teams of eight. There will be standings you'll be able to track will compete against each other. That'll be a significant part of our schedule as well. We don't want to overstep our guys one of the things. We really wanna correct leading science. Guide us here. is is minimized the wear and tear. Nobody's while still developing and preparing for a professional level place so a schedule of maybe thirty five. To forty games is our target. We started september Training camp will will begin Play by mid august. We'll be done by by Late march is how we see our schedule shaping up i'm looking forward to it brennan kevin. It's a really interesting concept and hope you guys have a lot of success with an. I'll certainly be watching a lot of. Nba people will be watching but brandon. Stay out of a set of massachusetts. Kevin has like some basketball. Ptsd from all those bc. Matchups i'm sure would probably were so tough. I don't remember kevin. It's not real like talk about it. But lita past. We'd be six thousand. That's not very nice. That's hovering kevin brand. Thanks for joining me. I appreciate it all right. Thank you chris. Thanks so much.

"Like the government like memphis yet. Some battles with market assault didn't work out your plus new york. You just might be one of those guys that doesn't have the right temperament to be is based on what we've seen a memphis in new york might be better suited for these ranks but if he succeeds in l. a. I think he'll get another chance right. Maybe i think the point being though that if you as an organization have identified a guy instead he we believe in him then. Okay then believe in him. Stick with them and make sure you've given them enough tools to succeed Is it a pulling the plug at the first sign of of struggle and that's what happens in the nba. too often. is that seems panic. You know the fans turn. There's some minor flare up. Oh the coach and player got into it. Whatever it may good teams that can happen on as well. And it's it's just. It's the way franchises. React so you have to know whether or not the guy is is is right and then stick with them. And so yeah. Let's jomo's should get a nice long here. She got a ton of latitude in orlando given where they are as an organization given the state of that roster. Yeah i agree. Howard enjoy milwaukee looking forward to hearing the conversation with the lazarus on friday. You can check podcast. Right here on the crossover feet again. Make sure you listen to howard's interview. Spencer dinwiddie from last week. It was really really strong. Enjoy -joy the mid west our. We'll talk when you're back on the northeast always a pleasure. My friend the newest player in the pre nba basketball landscape is overtime. Elite elite will begin playing sometime in the fall. And we'll be headlined by some of the top now. Former high school players in the country players would be paid minimum one hundred thousand dollars with some making north of that and have access to high level facilities training as well as educational programs to help. Get a better grasp on that. I'm joined by brandon williams the head of basketball operations for overtime. Elite and kevin ollie the former. Nba guard uconn. Coach was the head coach and director of player development bread. And i want to start here with you. Just kind of give me the ten thousand foot view overtime elite. What are the objectives. What what what was behind the formation of this league. I think any of us. Chris who've been around for a long time i've actually seen Sort of the downside of young players who entered into professional ranks to this point. It's been the nba Who are not ready. And so what does that mean you know not not ready to form and be stars or is it just not ready to be great teammates or is it not ready to be good partners. is sort of all that you know the idea that the work day is much longer than they know. And that there's more responsibility to be in a professional athlete The responsibilities to families and communities we just have to do a better job preparing them and here was an opportunity to be part of a program that wanted to address all that. It's not just about being a good player. It's like we wanna address the whole athlete. Hope so on. Three levels were hitting basketball. Easiest thing understand. I think businesses in our world is education And then there's brand you know. These young people now are moving at a speed that we aren't as older folks and they want to build things An earlier age particularly off the court so building a brand is important something that can last well beyond their tread on tire so we're hitting it in basketball business brand. That's that's that's really thirty thousand foot view. Kevin what attracted you to this job. Just like his dad is the whole person being able coach them from a mind body and soul Experience and

Wwe's pretty smart with what they have on their hands with these two guys and they give them all the time in the world to tell their story and what a great story that they told tonight In their match together. I i loved it. Loved it no complaints whatsoever about this wine. If feels like these men went about because this was falls. Count anywhere so i felt like they may be one about twenty minutes. Give or take it. At least it was kind of close to twenty minutes. I would have to say now sure you could say that. It was a little bit predictable. In some instances or whatever but he did have a couple of really cool spots that went down in it. also i i love the nice touch of riddle in this whole thing. You know you just kind of looking down the road and you're going you know if eventually things go south with randy orton and riddle and story. Line okay well. You know what you want to try to do something with riddle and the tag team division. The wwe stumbled upon something pretty cool with ricochet and riddled at. I actually wouldn't mind seeing them. Do something seen them do something about tag team But so it was nice seeing matt riddle. Come out with the little cameo That he had in there and he was grabbing fricking up for ms with his sparkly shoes. I've never seen shoes with so much glitter in my life. Banham joints Joins has so much sparkling hurt my eyes man seriously but i see in him come out. They're teasing ms a little bit. You know trying to help. Balance the odds. Because he saw what was going on with ms and his frigging whenever he's drip sticks and all that other good shit you know but yeah you know i I like what they did here with these two guys. I mean you're definitely left without a shadow of doubt when it comes to money in the bank. There's gonna be some crazy spots going on with these two guys they've save the best for the pay-per-view but gray match great great match between he's got nothing but love for morrison and ricochet right down to the point to see their ascension. These past couple of weeks. They have personally solidified. I think for a majority of the fans. And i would hope by now. They've solidified for those in. Wwe management that.

Because we had wondered aloud like one is the last time that you saw coach leaving and stumping for who should get the job and it wasn't he didn't stump for jamal moseley. He walked out the door. It said i think jason kidd should get ten job. It's like are still. It's still so odd. How he did that. It's still really odd. Well volvos he got a job at for all so he didn't not yet officially just donges emerges as they strong front runner according to loge see i thought they were gonna hire keniakin but now it sounds like going to the warriors as lead assistance. Yeah so it's an interesting spot for him to be. Because i mean like you know who knows if curl be there for three more years or ten more years. But if you're in that lead assistant spot i wonder if he could slide into that someday. Who knows maybe. I mean or is it like you know like a coaching car wash. Is that golden state. It used to be san antonio a golden state. Now we're now kenny. Kenny atkinson goes to golden state becomes more appealing for the next head. Coaching job next season. Maybe but i think if. I'm not mistaken luke's the only one right luke. Walton is the only one that's got more. Nobody's hired mike brown off that staff right. I mean i think my brown is just coach. Who was he coach nigeria. I was watching it this weekend in those olympic trials. I think i think my brown was coaching nigeria. Or one of those teams. But nobody's and he was what like. When would kerr had that back injury. He had he was. He was winning all the way through to. And i guess people just thought anybody can stand on the sidelines and win a bunch. Because luke wanna a bunch. Mike brown water. Bunch steve kerr. Obviously what a bunch. But i don't know. I'll tell you what though kenny atkinson is a good higher because before he was head coach of the nets what people love. The him was his player development. And for the warriors. Here you get some younger guys who are anita in need of development kenny. Atkinson might be able to help them along in that category. I thought he'd get the magic job. Yeah that sense yeah. I thought i thought. I thought it was just natural. We talked about kind of building the culture with a young team in brooklyn which he did in maybe it. Maybe moseley can do that too.

"jomo" Discussed on Nerdette
"I mean i think inasmuch as people who spent time on-line two months ago to get a vaccine got the vaccine they're not suckers because that's what we were there to get. That's tom. I think you know getting getting vaccine is the main the main thing and i i suppose what i'm the most curious about is if somebody with more like actual training in the public health Has the same about this. Might my general again. Like lay person's understanding of public health initiatives is that things like shaming and punitive measures tend to discourage people from italic signing up adopting whatever it is the thing you're hoping for them to adopt Whereas like giveaways and like increased awareness lowering barriers to access. Makes it likelier to happen so again if just the goal is like get vaccinated as possible you know whatever works inside the thing to be done in in my opinion Never doesn't work. Should be and that. I love that because that's just incredibly blanche like either. We should do a works. And i don't think we should do. It doesn't work. Let's do good things and bad things. I'm for success. You know it's capitalism right still capitalism. So you just make it more expensive and make it sexier lines around the block to be like so far between the joints and the doughnuts and the beers. I'm not particularly disappointed. By any of those things. I think the state of illinois actually considering a lottery people who got the vaccine and it sounds like the governor will honor people who already got it. I do think in like if there were like you know. Tens of thousands of dollars on the line. And i weren't eligible because i had gotten an early. Do i mean speaking of capitalism. I guess. I do think. I would have been a little crabby about that. You know i think. I wanna join donna. I'm hurting my trip through washington's picked. Okay so i also wanna talk to you. Too about simone biles. She's the twenty-four-year-old gymnast who is so consistently good that she literally has a little goat emblazoned on the side of her uniform because yes she is the greatest of all time. And yes. Danny were just using acronyms but the classic she has won every all around competition. She's entered since two thousand thirteen. She has more than double the amount of gold medals as any other female gymnasts in history. It is amazing. But i'm not like a super gymnastics person are either of you. Danny do you follow it. You don't every couple of years. Someone says it's the olympics and i always believed them and then if it's the summer olympics and they've got gymnastics. I'll definitely do my best to watch it so in that sense like when when when the public informs me that it's time to notice gymnastics. I do it absolutely But beyond that. You wouldn't say that. I'm like an avid fan right. Keep up the offseason or like in odd numbered years. Unlike these are the these are the teams to watch so. Yeah i think it is really interesting. watching her. As a fairly uninformed gymnastics person. Because like i can tell that she is excellent but she makes it look so effortless that sometimes. I'm like they're all things that i couldn't do but i also can't do a cartwheel so like that's a low bar you know but it's like i don't know though i the technique that she has just seemed so insane to me like it's almost unfathomable you know what i mean have. Can you do a cartwheel. Yes i can. I can do so many things. I am a big gymnastics fan. Or i was when i was a kid Starting in the olden. Days with nadia comaneci. Chee now i believe referred to snotty common age. I don't know. I've watched for years and years and i'm i used to be addicted to it and now i just feel like it's so supernatural. The stunts are so. I mean it used to be. People wobbled on. The beam ended a car on the beam. Like that was the way it was in the seventies and now it's like we launch into the air and do i mean you you know you've seen it's just incredible by the same token it's almost like you just feel like everybody's gonna break their neck. I don't know maybe. I'm too anxious to watch anymore. No i mean that's that's fair so just just thinking back to you. Know a chewing. On the idea of whether i think simone biles work looks effortless. Whether i think there's another word that i would use to describe that yeah there so i i think the word that i would use there is something more akin to like It's drying attention to a certain type of expertise and proficiency. In a way that is i think highlighting a sense of like using fluidity of which i think effortless. You know certainly gestures towards that. But i think there's a little bit more like i think of specifically kerri strug like landing on the broken ankle and the sort of classic like honestly jenna maroney like no-one. No-one don't worry. I got this. And that's to say by the way that it was like a dvd moment or that it wasn't fabulous is awful and fabulous at the same time. It was incredibly jack. And i think there's this tradition within women's gymnastics of really drawing attention to some combination of extreme extreme. Overwork hyper focused hyper determination A sort of like effortlessness. That's not effortlessness that really draws attention to like. Look at how much work i had to look into this and now look at how easy it is That's really remarkable. That brings together so different like elements of lake pain managements and it's like camille intensity and I don't know. I don't have a lot of like sharp thoughts. There so much is just looking on general. Yeah that wasn't very sharp. That was pretty. You need to sharpen your thoughts. My god it was an.

The Importance of No by Chris Lovett
"So how do we get better at saying. No a no for me is providing a challenge is an opportunity for negotiation is a moment in time to make a decision to choose. A course of action is also an opportunity to hold the mirror up quote. Hold up your shield of no. Because he can't kill everything with your sword of yes kenney win turn fomo into jomo. The fear of missing out is such a poll that we can agree to all sorts of things cover for this person. Go to this thing. Help our this men lead on that internal alarm bells ring out and we present excuses not to say no. I have to attend that meeting because someone else will be there. What would so-and-so think. If i put my name forward people will think i don't care i feel guilty for not helping the list goes on. There's a lot of social pressure connected with fomo as the perceived sense of duty and obligation to do things like answer emails at ridiculous times. Our desire to get ahead mixed with social media diction has ended up growing the emotionally intelligent antidote the joy of missing out a pretty new concept originally related to oppose the scrolling on our phones and need to fit in comparing what we have with others on regular basis being okay with not everything being everywhere or seeing everyone grants you the ability to be more present and understanding of your own capacity. Jomo helps to phase out the should 's and become more intentional with our time it allows us to focus where we are needed on the most important things and as a byproduct the less time spent being anxious or competitive gives us back our energy. Can i go away and think about. It is not to no snotty. Yes it's a bit of time for you to weigh up everything else. You've already got to do and decide whether it is important enough to include this. Bit of reflection is super powerful and provides some clarity around the consequences of another. Yes how much time with this new thing take. Who else could do it instead. Does it really need to be done right now or can await ask them to reprioritize. Some bosses don't really know the intricacies of the tasks that are going on in. The team is not their job to know all the ins and outs but it is their job to make sure you have everything you need to be successful. It's their job to help you move obstacles out of the way so you can flourish but it is also your job to tell them about all the obstacles. They're not mind readers if he get another request from your boss to do something and you are already at capacity. Tell them and then ask them. What their priority is now. Because if you take on this new thing one of the older things are working on clearly not as important anymore. Empower others to become self sufficient. Have people become relying on you without me knowing it. Are they calling you before trying to figure things out for themselves or you rescuing others because you feel you need. Do we love to help. And we love to be part of a community were social creatures that want to nurture and put others first giving advice and getting hooked on always being the one to rescue can be an occupational hazard helping behaviors can trigger dopamine. Serotonin oxycontin on neurochemical cocktail. That makes us feel good while seeing people flourish and feeling satisfied that we have provided. Advice is our goal. It's only momentarily gratifying. Defects of you always helping. And yes ing. Everywhere can cause severe long-term damaged in we may not even see one person's inability to say no can bring the whole team or organization crashing down. Sometimes we just can't help but wanna fix everything for people. The problem now is that there are too many things going on in our working part time. The circus with all the juggling and plate spinning you sign up for tasks become a burden and so do other people your over promising and under delivering and relationships. He works so hard to build or falling away. If the relationship is strong the party receiving the no will understand. Be empathetic to your mounting commitments. And help you by giving you the space you need. We believe others will judge us more harshly than they actually do. The majority of people are so caught up in their own world with their mounting of things that they would probably forgotten about your answer and move on to something else so my challenge for you now is to have courage to be brave and go.

Secrets from the Happiness Lab With Laurie Santos
"All right. Let's get to today's episode. Twenty twenty as we all know sucked extremely hard already but we may now be entering into even more difficult months ahead as winter sets in and the case loads appear to be rising so we asked professor. Laurie santos to come on the show. She is overflowing with science based strategies for navigating this difficult time this is the second episode and our two part series that we are semi facetiously calling. Winter is coming. If you missed last week's episode zindel segal a pioneer in mindful treatment for depression and anxiety. Go back and check that. One out laurie. Meanwhile as a tenured professor at yale where she teaches a blockbuster course unhappiness. she's also now. The host of a really popular podcast. A really great podcast called the happiness lab and in this conversation we talk about how to handle the holidays in a pandemic how to have hard conversations with your family combating pandemic fatigue in your own mind. The need to double down on self care these days. Why the things we think will make us happy. Probably won't and the cultivation of jomo the opposite of fomo and time effluence. Here we go. Laurie santos laurie santos. Thanks for coming on. thanks for having me. It's a pleasure. So let me just start with your course which there been a bunch of articles about your course in the new york times in new york magazine and so i've been following your work for a long time. But can you just describe how you became interested in teaching this students. And why you think it took off in such an incredible way. Yeah so it. All started when i took on a new role so i've been teaching for over a decade. Now which makes me feel very old but in just the last couple of years. I took on this new position. I became a head of college on campus. And so y'all's one of these weird places like hogwarts where they're like colleges within a college like connect griffin doris leather in sort of thing And so i'm head of silliman college no relation to slither and even though people get that confused but what that means that. I live with students on campus. Like my house is literally in the middle of their quad. I e with them in the dining hall. I kind of hang out with them in the courtyard as i was seeing student. Life up. Close and personal and honestly. I didn't like what i was seeing. I was kinda shocked at the level of mental health. Dysfunction that my students were dealing with it was something. I was kind of blind to while i was like up at the front of the classroom. Which sort of embarrassing. Now in retrospect. But i kind of just didn't see it but you know so many students reporting. They're depressed and anxious and this caused me to like look. Is there something weird about yale or something. We're doing wrong but conceptually to something. We're seeing nationally like right now. The national statistics are really scary over forty percent of college students today. Report being too depressed to function. I shouldn't say today. this is more two thousand. Nineteen sorta of pre kovic time right so in two thousand nineteen over forty percent of college. Students were too depressed to function over sixty percent report. They felt overwhelmingly anxious most days and more than one in ten said. They'd seriously considered suicide in the last year. And so these are national statistics but this bore out what. I was seeing on campus. It just felt like you know honestly. We weren't meeting our educational mission at yale right. We're bringing these students here but you know for students in my lecture and forty percent of the kids out there. Too depressed function most days like they're not learning computer science or chaucer trying to teach them at yale right there just kinda missing it and so i thought it was sort of part of my educational mission to sort of fix this and as a psychologist i thought you know. There's lots of work on the kinds of practices. You can engage with to improve your mental health. It doesn't have to be this way. And so i thought i know i'll develop this whole new class about living a good life and all these evidence based practices students could use. I no idea. I thought it was going to be thirty or so students. Because that's what's typical for a new class. And i remember yale. Students don't register ahead of time so it's like once the classes offered you kind of watch. This little graph of how many students are interested in your course and the i noticed something weird was happening. Was that the graph in most classes went from zero to one hundred students but mine had an order of magnitude difference. It went from zero to one thousand students and then it went over. That and i was like this is strange and that was because over. A quarter of the students at yale wanted to take the class the first time it was offered over a thousand students and so that created lots of logistical hurdles. Like finding a concert hall. That was big enough to fit everyone. You know joked about putting it in the football stadium but that would be a little cold. And yeah i mean when it showed me. Was that students you know. They don't like this culture of feeling stressed anxious. They're really like searching for solutions. And i was sort of proud of them because they were really looking for evidence based solutions. Like they didn't want platitudes or just kind of self help but they wanted to know what did the science say about how you could live healthier.

A Decade Of Watching Black People Die
"Family of Kentucky Woman, shot and killed by police is demanding answers. The former, his son both white are accused of killing the unarmed black man again with the breaking news for Minneapolis violent protests raged for a second straight night, following the death of George Floyd after being arrested by a Minneapolis police officer last night, protesters turned their attention to the city's. The last few weeks have been filled with devastating news stories about police killing black people. And what is sick is that these stories have become the kind of news that we in the business call evergreen their stories that are always relevant and always in season, these calamities are so familiar. This point they're details have begun to echo each other July. Twenty fourteen, a cell phone video captured some of Eric Garner's final words as New York City Police officers sat on his head and pinned him to the ground on a city sidewalk. I can't breathe. Or May twenty fifth of this year those same words were spoken by George Floyd. Just before he died, he pleaded for release, as an officer kneeled on his neck in pins of the ground on a Minneapolis City Street, so we're at the point with verbiage, people used to plead for their lives can be re purposed as shorthand for completely different stories and part of our job here coast, which is to conceptualize and make sense of news like this. But genus is hard to come up with something new to say you know things we haven't already said or things we have already recorded protesters saying when we were both in Ferguson in August of twenty fourteen after Michael. Brown was killed by the police or when we were in Baltimore after Freddie Gray's death. I spent the day with junior. High school kids in West. Baltimore where Freddie Gray was from on the first day. Let kids return to school after all the protests and I will never forget the eighth grade boy who raised his hand to ask. Why have white people been killing us in slavery and they're still killing us. He said that on Wednesday April Twenty Ninth Twenty fifteen. Since it's so hard to come up with any fresh insights about this phenomenon. We thought we would look back to another time. When the nation turned collective attention to this perpetual problem. Jamile Smith Senior Writer for Rolling Stone magazine. In when I was at the new republic. wrote an article entitled. What does seeing black men die? Do for you. It was published on April Thirteenth Two Thousand Fifteen. We get to see black men tortured or killed by police a lot more often these days. So, it's worth recalling why a generation ago. It mattered so much to see what happened to Rodney King. Now the story that might never have surfaced if someone hadn't picked up his home video camera. We've all seen. We have certainly seen the black and white photographs and videos depicting police abuse of African Americans. And we'd seen the grainy images of lynchings passed. But the conventional ignorance was that this wasn't the America. We lived in now. Officers beating a man they had just pulled over. This was the early nineties after all. This was in America that viewed law enforcement in the context of the popular reality, show cops, and were Morton Downey Junior tabloid television style made uncensored aggression a form of entertainment. But when George Holidays video surface chuck him with batons of between fifty three and fifty six times signal to a lot of citizens, just how bad police violence visited upon marginalized communities, actually was six kicks and one officer one kick people either didn't know what was happening. or willfully ignorant of it. They needed to wake up. Say The Los. Angeles Police Department has a history of brutality and misconduct that goes back a quarter of a century day. We are not sure that the police is there to protect us. The fear of becoming the next Rodney King is still here. But what has changed is how often we are viewing that fear being realized. Jamal goes on to write that the ubiquity of cell phone cameras and dashboard cameras means this uncensored horror has become available on demand. He says he watched twenty two year old Oscar grant get shot and killed by a police officer on Youtube before it made it to broadcast news. That happened in Oakland in two thousand, nine on New Year's Day. And it really marked the beginning of this grim genre, in which the slain become memorialized as Hashtags Hashtag justice for Oscar grant and remember Walters Gun Eric Harris, Jomo rights videos of them, being killed became public almost back to back in two thousand fifteen. Both men were running away when the shots were fired. Walter Scott Fifty was trying to escape North Charleston police officer Michael slager. Who Shot him eight times in the back? Before planning evidence near his body to support a false account of the incident. Eric Harris was running from a team of Tulsa County deputies when Elderly Insurance Executive Robert Bates.

A match competed national hard court in two thousand and two to start the season both sisters. Boycott Indian Wells for the first time following the racists incident in two thousand and one.

Live Happy Now
Embracing JOMO
"Jessica thank you for joining us on live. Happy now thanks for having me. This is an interesting topic because we have written and hot so much about foam. Oh and so when I saw that you were writing about Jomo. Oh It's like we've got to talk to him and so I guess first of all. Can you start by explaining to everyone what you mean by the joy of missing out yet. So many people have heard Komo would like you mentioned which stands for the fear of missing out and not refers to this feeling that we get often when we're on social media scrolling through our friends photos those were they look like they're having a great time and we just get this feeling that were that other. People are having better lives in us at cooler than they're spending their time in in a more fun way and it's really bad for our self esteem or anxiety and so- Jomo is kind of the flip side of foam and it stands for joy of seeing outside this is about really embracing that sense of you know. Maybe I'm not out at this cool party. That looks amazing on Instagram. But I can still have fun if I'm home by myself. Yourself or not out at the coolest event. But there's lots of things I can do. Better shoots myself and who I am without having to participate and and maybe events or life that doesn't always look as amazing on social media. So are you saying that every moment doesn't have to be instagram. -able true it's true. It's entirely instagram. I love social media. Yeah I think it's about being conscious of when it's not always the best for us for our self esteem our emotions Sion's at that moment. Yeah I know when social media became so ubiquitous and there are a lot of studies that showed it does connect people and then it kind of peaked and we saw the the flip side of that where it really especially among teens and young adults really started increasing as you had mentioned anxiety and foam. Oh and so now to able to back off a little bit is a real skill. So how does someone start to do that. Because it's hard to not get sucked in. It's really hard. Yeah and now with smartphones with US twenty four seven in our pocket in our bags. It's really easy to just constantly be on it and not not got check ourselves on whether it's really helping us out so but I like to do things like I'm reading a book. Put my phone in a different room so I can't put down the book when I see a notification absent mindedly. It'll be scroll you can delete APPs that are making a lot of your time or even just turn off those notifications they send when so until your photo and one thing I've tried to do is try to use social media as treat someone hasn't been waiting in line or an elevator just automatically pick up my phone and start scrolling occupy my mind but I'm trying to look at it more as something thing like a weekly manager or a cookie. I might treat myself to leave but that is not my default being to fall back on board. Yeah I as I was just thinking about this interview I was in the elevator and our building and there are several people in the elevator with me and I looked around and every one of them was scrolling. Their social media feeds on the ground with subway. I live in New York in the mornings. And every single person including me Hazar had down in their phone at I'm not interesting at all the APIS but it's really amazing. How much phones have really taken over our lives in every basically every moment and to start embracing Jomo no you kind of have to shift your mindset and as you said you've created away to see as a treat but how do you get to the point where you say okay? This is even something I want to to do. How do you completely start shifting that mindset kind of the steps to get to where you are yeah? I think it's about just checking in with your own emotions on it. I Yeah I think a lot of us can use instagram or facebook is something that does bring us joy and something that does connect us even more friends and family bite. If you start to notice that it's really making you feel like you're missing out on things or you need to be living a different life and the one you're living to impress other people. I think that's where you need to start taking Steps like I talked about the curb social media usage or just find a hobby or call a friend or do something that more about real connection in your own life versus kind of spectating into other people's and does that feel uncomfortable at first. I think it can. Yeah I think when you see and when you look at your fees and you see everyone posting all these events and they're hanging out friends and you're not or they have a partner in your single right now. It's really hard at first. Yes but I think the more that you can be in tune with yourself and disconnect when it feels good to you then you know the more untrue Yobe and the happier he'll be in the long run absolutely and your writer. You've done a lot of things and quote was it. That made you decide you. Were going to start looking at Jomo and go ahead write about it. Can you talk about your journey to this point. Yeah I mean I have a Mo- at suffered from Pomo if you will and I think being a writer these days days means being connected to the Internet all the time and being on twitter and instagram and kind of talk about creating personal brand is a writer and I started to realize that that wasn't doing me any favors and it was making me focus. More on how my life appeared to others. Then how I was actually experiencing any gauging with my life and the people in it. I didn't invent the concept of Jomo but I heard about it and I started researching it and I thought. Wow this is really a good antidote to a lot of just a constant twenty percent of connectedness that is rampant in our society right now so then I started to dig into while what if there were resource where you could find. All these ways I dea is prepping to do that. Don't involve scrolling through your phone. You brought up a great point. Because it's for riders. It's artist anyone who's trying to build their own brand or just keep in the forefront and keep working you know you are encouraged to to really use social media. So how do you balance that out. Yeah I mean when thing I do is I tried tried to let myself be on social media and the Internet during the day when I either need to be for work or you know if I'm if I have a free moment and I want to look at instagram. That's great but I try to really unplug when Working Stein and think now is my time to focus on my family and my hobbies and connect with friends. And so I kind of I try to compartmentalize mental. Is it as much as I can but challen and I think something that if you really want to make an effort to do to really focus on day by day in our our and the great thing about your book is that you give us so many ways to handle this first of all. How many suggestions are there in the lot? There's over three green fifty between four hundred. Yeah so basically. If you can't find one to go within this there's rate how how did you start coming up with all of those because they cover such a broad range of things that you can do so many things that I wouldn't have thought of there is a broad range. I started with my hobbies activities and I just mind my own life for things that I enjoy doing and then I started serving friends and family and say okay. What do you do when you have a night in at home and you WanNa relax and so is the latter crowdsourcing some research and yeah but it was fun research? I'll say that. And so can you Kinda talk about. Let's say three of your favorite ones and then sure one of my favorites is have a hash. Tag Free throwback Thursday so there's excuse me there's this instagram movement called Hashtag Tag. TBT where you post old photos of yourself. But there's one of my favorite ones is coming up with ways to honor that don't involve social media so whether that's old photo albums asking parents to share their favorite memories or their old photos so kind of taking a moment to reflect on and maybe stir Robson happy nostalgia without having to go through your phone and posted you that another one of my favorites is meditate in unusual ways. I think awesome. We think of meditation as involving chanting or something. That's like very spiritual but you can actually meditate in ways that in all kinds of ways when my favorite is I find cooking Mary soothing so something like chopping garlic or onion lab repetitive movement. Like that can really quiet. Your mind will be just as powerful as at spiritual meditation. And then what am I it just silly favorites is having a nineties. Rom Com era eastbound from the ninety s that are on basic cable or a lot of us still have DVD's for. I doubt sitting in Beijing. Binge watching that was Hemi pretty

Hatice Cengiz's mission: Don't forget Jamal Khashoggi
"I'm with ruler Caliph the deputy editor of the F. T. and she's had recently rather astonishing interview. She met recently Hattie's challenges who of course found herself at the center of an international drama indeed something of a horror story last October. This is when the young Turkish academic were seen waiting outside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul for her fiance who never appeared that man of course was the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi details of whose murder at the hands of Saudi the thugs would leak out over the coming days and weeks so so really just start by telling us. What is the state of the investigation into Khashoggi's death? Well depends what you mean by investigation and which investigation in Saudi Arabia Arabia a group of people are being put on trial but we know very little about this trial elsewhere. There has been a U._N.. report by a U._N.. Expert on the murder however that report does not or have any legal basis it only makes recommendations and it has recommended an impartial international investigation for that to happen however you would need you on Security Council approval and I don't expect that exactly exactly 'cause you're touching on the really important point of the sort of full out of this whole saga namely. It doesn't look as if we're going to be many repercussions for the Saudi regime does it and why is that. I think that there were initially some repercussions for the. The Saudi regime mainly reputational a lot of business. People and political figures stayed away from Saudi Arabia. There was a bit conference. That was a flop but I think over time things of return to normal. I don't think the reputation of the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman the man we know as and BS will ever really fully recover but I think that once Western governments and especially the U._S. government can't say that doing business with Saudi Arabia's fine he was for example at the g twenty in fact Saudi Arabia is going to be hosting the g twenty next year that is kind of rehabilitation Saudi Arabia hosting the g twenty year stunning given all that happened and imagine particularly appalling news for your lunch companion. The other day had tease Chang who is campaigning passionately for Kashoggi's motorists to be brought to justice. is is Here a clip now so I want to know who gave the order to kill them out and who else knew I want to know. Where is his body? I implore you to take action darkness essay. It is time for sanctions so that was her tease. Chang is speaking at the U._N.. Human Rights Council in Geneva last month. The Agnes was referring to as Agnes Calamar the special reporter on extrajudicial killings who had in fact just revealed called the results of this investigation you talking about ruler which found quote credible evidence clothes quotes that senior Saudis implicated in Mr Kashoggi's murder but let's turn to at t's challenges this was a powerful and really poignant. Poignant interview you had to do rule tell us what impression did you make. It was obviously a painful interview. It's painful for her to speak about Sharma but I think she's also now very driven. She is so frustrated by the silence she so frustrated by the fact that there has been no action that she's now turned this into her mission. Jomo Hachioji was essentially fighting for human rights. It's this is what he was writing about and she now feels that she has to take up that fight as I write in my lunch with the F. T. she now knows that she is part of the story. She's been studying the Middle East for a long time and now she feels that she's become one of its victims and there are so many of them so she was fighting back tears the whole lunch at one point when she tells me about the nights when she knew for sure that Jamal was dead. That's when her tears came rushing down one of the many things that struck me about her accounting hug conversation with you was relatively brief had in her relationship with Jamalco. Gee I mean they don't known each other for a few months. I wonder if you could just say a little bit about how they met in the nature of their relationship yes they only met in May of last year they met at a conference about the Gulf in Istanbul. Jamaa was speaking at that conference and she had only known him as someone who should seen on T._v.. She'd read him. She was very interested in Saudi Arabia and she was very keen to interview him about what. What was going on in Saudi Arabia what he was writing about and so she just goes up to him and introduces herself and says can we talk? Can you give me a few minutes and she speaks to him in Arabic because she speaks pretty fluent Arabic and I think that impresses impresses Jamal and so they meet up he asks her by Turkish awesome about Saudi and then she contact him again to tell him when the story is going to be published and two. I think check some quotes that's next time he goes to Turkey. They meet up again but this was a very quick romance in many ways but from what she told me this also has to do with the fact that Jemaah was in a very uncomfortable place ace at the time he was sort of looking for a new life. He'd been exiled in the U._S.. He was on his own so he was looking for a companion and he was very depressed and I think that they found in each other. You know the person she understood him. He understood her and so yes. This was a marathon romance. When he was murdered? He was writing columns for the Washington Post but as his then fiancee points out in this interview he actually in previous part of his life. He'd been an advisor to some members of the Saudi Royal Family Herself says in this interview one of the many powerful lines she says Jamal was from the palace not from outside it. He was not their enemy. Can you tell us why were they so frightened of him. Why did they have to kill him well? It's a very good question Alec. I don't think that anyone really knows why they were so frightened of him but it is also possible that they weren't that frightened of him. They had a strategy. Ah of silencing anyone who was critical of the Crown Prince Jamal wasn't the only one many of journals friends who stayed in Saudi Arabia are in jail and this new regime demint Saudi Arabia requires not only that you don't criticize they require that you approve the reason Jamal had left was because he did not want to engage and to support award a very hostile strategy towards cutter he was required to write in support of the strategy and that's where he drew the line and so there is such an intolerance that even someone who is only a writer actually not a writer who schooling for revolution a writer who wants Saudi Arabia to correct and to move on a better path. I mean you can even argue that much of what he was. Writing was advice to the crown prince but there is zero tolerance. It's not going to be easy for her. T snow is it nearly a year has passed as you said earlier for some parts of the sort of Western business in foreign policy establishment is not quite business as usual but they are going to re apply some of those ties to Saudi. What do you see happens to her now to? She pursue this cause at U._N.. How does she make any headway? I found and her to be very determined. I think that she wants to use the Kalama a report to try to put pressure on Western governments but may be more broadly she. Will become a voice that is just fighting for human rights at some point. I imagine she would even have to address that in Turkey. Because of course there are a lot of journalists who are jailed elden Turkey for hottest today. Her cause is Jamal but I think that she may also in the future want to broaden her course that it's not Jamaa and the Truth About Jamaa which I'm sure she will continue to fight for but YEP. She may very well be campaigner for human rights all is thrust upon her shoulders after just knowing him for a few months extraordinary I think we should end with a clip from Matisse which is also something of a call to arms from in her and she said this at the U._N.. Session in Geneva last month echoing what she said to you in this remarkable interview it's not only my below Jamal who was more that they but also democracy human rights and freedoms the failure to punish murderers F._X.. Also Mr Chair the truth always wins. He's story. We'll take note of those who stood with through and those who did not police take action.
Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
Why Ambassadors Still Matter
"Listening to the foreign desk. Still with me are John Everard and Chas Freeman jazz to start the second part of the show. I wanted to go back to one of the points at which we came in which was the role of ambassador during moments of great crisis or great tension. You were the United States ambassador to Saudi Arabia at the time of desert shield and Desert Storm how much does your job change at a moment. Like that. When history is being made around you. Well, one becomes a crisis manager, I was conducting relationships with elements of the Saudi establishment and indeed other governments with members of the coalition with Philo envoys to reality of a sort that I never would have had the war not occurred. So you're a manager not only internally of your diplomatic mission, which contains of course, many different agencies and lots of complicated people who have tendency to act unpredictably under stress, but you're also the manager of. Of relationships with the host country government and with the resident diplomatic community, and you are the mayor of your nationalities local community, they look to you for protection for advise, and I all these functions come into play very very sharply. When a crisis occurs Jomo mutt. Thought of the the ambasaador as actor, especially at a moment of crisis or tension. What was your perception of at moments like that what the stakes actually were as they applied to your particular job? Like how badly can one person damage or I guess how much how vastly can one person improve relations between to entire nations depending on where you are the onset can be a really quite a lot. I mean, very often and work in countries where you may be the only member of the sending nation that these guys are gonna come across. So yes, you can shape events. Really quite considerably and the calls you make under stress come effect history. I mean, maybe not the broad thrust of wilt history. The history for that nation, and the we affects its place in the world. Yes that can happen. Just follow that up. John were the can you recall any particular moments from your own service? I guess especially probably as ambassador to North Korea, which it really struck. You about a given situation that I really don't want to get this one wrong. I remember very clearly after north Chris I nuclear test frenetic meetings of the European Union busters with various of them calling for really soft line on North Korea. And some of us manage to persuade the European Union. Just to hold five for forty eight hours. Just to see what the North Korean said how they explained what they had done which turned out. We'll get into the degree to here was a good thing. Because the North Koreans explains. Their action in ways that nobody had expected them to those another one in Europe. Guar. I was there when something like a decade and a half a right wing government collapsed and the left took power. Now, do you relations with Uruguay up probably not going to affect the broad sweep of well developments? But the acquit lots of people around who was saying that we ought to give you guys the chill, these whistle. Put a communist, and we ought to coach them, and I was able to say, no, no, these are actually reasonable respectable people. You you can agree or disagree with the political tenants. But these are not criminals, and they deserve a fair hearing, and we won chose to put a I guess a similar question to you. How often did you find yourself making decisions or filing reports or having conversations that you felt like they were considerable stakes riding on. This was something you needed to get right? That you need to be. Absolutely sure that you're communicating what you had learnt clearly and Thornton deeply, otherwise things might go, terribly terribly wrong. We'll I was fortunate in my career to be. In a fairly central position on several occasions in the opening of relations with China and as investor to Saudi Arabia during the war to liberate Kuwait I had to make decisions and to recommend decisions that really had great consequences, sometimes just preventing Washington for making foolish mistakes, for example, shortly after the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein and his forces in the United States, suddenly sent me from a relatively low level an instruction to go to the king of Saudi Arabia and asked for bed down of beef, fifty two's in Jeddah. We'll the only place they could have been bedded down was in the hedge terminal I thought this was a dreadful idea one photo when we would be dead in the Islamic world. And I said so and made other arguments and suggestions for how to avoid the need for such a thing. I got a reply ordering me to do it from a higher level at finally several more interruptions, it ended up with a personal. Message from the president in each case. I replied, you know, I wonder if you have seen the arguments against this. Let me reiterate them if you have considered those and rejected them, of course, I will execute the instruction. And I never heard anything in the end except the president when he came out and thanked me for standing my ground in voiding error, the impetus behind this was a desire by the US air force to demonstrate the continuing utility of the fifty two for budgetary reasons. I think an an anecdote like that demonstrates both the value of ambassadors in an and the satisfaction that must come from doing the job. But as we are regrettably nearing the end developed time did want to ask you, both internal I'll start with you, John. What was the one thing you really disliked about the job? The one thing you kind of glad to not have to do again. Once you've lifted being nice to lofty people is not in my nature. You know, be long enough to know that I tend to speak my mind fairly readily. And not being able to do that includes circumstances created the Yuli when I was in Bosnia having to shake the hands and green happily at Serb mass, murderers, I really didn't like doing. So the actually having to be diplomatic part of being a diplomat was the part that grated. Yes. I mean, some of my colleagues disa- just that I was one of business less likely diplomats. What about you? Are there any parts of the job in the foreign service that you really not Cain to go back to? We'll I agree completely with John. But I would add I really disliked being kissed by men with beards and bad breath. And also just finally because I think at monocle generally, we'd like to encourage the idea of ambassadors and of a country to have a a professional foreign service. We think it's a good thing. I I did also want to ask you both for one encouraging example from history as it were. And again, I'll start with you, John. If if if you have this is a great local radio question, this, do you have a favorite ambassador. Listen, but the the actually ambassador and minister to London in the first World War. The man who argued an argue with the Kaiser an almost stopped the war happening where my heroes and chess. What about you know, I would think of our envoy to France who when presented with the Louisiana purchase from Napoleon as opposed to -bility seize the opportunity without instructions to buy it that more than double the size of the United States, right man in the right spot. You can't argue with that is a good day's work. Chas
