"Something like fastidious and filthy. I think it was a different one. But she was like, let's not use fastidious. That's two sort of complicated. And so we changed it. A word with many syllables. Right. And then there are the projects for the reader to do at the end. And she was really great about coming up with some of those. Yeah, they're really fun. You added new material to the paperback version and talk about what is different. Well, what's different is the timeline in the front. And I have to say, like, workman approached me about doing this. And again, it was the middle of the pandemic and I get this email from them sort of out of the blue and they said, you know, we never did a paperback version. Do you want to? And I said, sure. And they said, well, treat it as a new publication. And you can fiddle with it a little bit like we have four extra pages that we can put in it, because now we don't have the end papers. And you can use and so I expanded there's a timeline just a couple little highlights of the history of graphic design, and I was able to put two more spreads of them in. Like things did you add? I added the on off button, which I didn't even realize is a combination of a one and a zero. Ah. And I ended with the street painting both in Washington and in New York City of Black Lives Matter in the street. Because that was just such a brilliant use of graphic design. At that point, there was a different editor I was working with because Raquel had left a pursue her career. And I said, is this too political? They said, well, let me check and we'll get back to you. And they said, let's do it. That's great. It's an opportunity to teach kids while they're learning about graphic design about the power of imagery and what this means. And our culture. Yeah. One last question for you. Okay. Thor: Love and Thunder will have just come out when this interview is published. Okay. Are you excited about seeing the film? And any predictions for the storyline? Well, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I'm excited about seeing it because I'm going to see it with you. I'm trying to think what I've heard, I haven't even seen the I haven't tracked this one that much. I know that Jane becomes the new Thor or at least at some point. Yes. Which is a theme in the comics. And that Christian Bale plays some crazy freaky villain. Creepy looking villain. Yeah, very creepy looking. Speaking of creepy, I actually wanted to ask you about your new cover that you're designing for Brett Easton Ellis and spring it's coming out. It's called the shards. Sounds rather sinister as well. Yeah. It's a very personal book for him. It's a prequel to less than zero. I'm thrilled with the cover. I think he is too, because he just, I think he just posted it on Twitter. It's really interesting. I would say it's one of the first sort of cinematic covers that I've done that sort of involves kind of sequential imagery. I'm really excited about it. And into Instagram after this. Interview. And again, I mean, my God, I've worked with him and for him since I think the informers in 1995, 96. Oh, I lied. I do have one last question for you. Before we sign off. You also have designed the upcoming cormac McCarthy. Yeah. Books because there's two. And I have seen those listeners and they are magnificent. Tuck just a little bit if you can. Give us a little tease about what you've done. Sure. These novels. Well, first of all, as a publishing house, it can off. We were just so thrilled that he delivered this manuscript. He's been working on it for a long time. He's 88 years old. We didn't know if we were ever actually going to get it. It's complicated. It's a two book story. And one of the books is called the passenger and the other book is called Stella Maris. And the story of a brother and a sister, it's complicated, but there's mathematics. There's deep sea diving. There's the atomic bomb, there are all these themes in it. And the brief to me was, we're going to publish them individually. Then we're going to publish them together in a box. I mean, it all has to look like it goes together, but both the individual jackets and the box set when they're together, the books have to look like they belong together. And when they're apart, they have to look like they can stand on their own. Right, but to me, they also have to look like they need each other. Which is a big theme in the book. Will they be coming out at the same time or are they coming out separately? Staggered over three months. So the passenger comes out in October 22, the second Stella Morris comes out in November of 22 and then the box that comes out and December. Chip

"Memoir and he had a difficult family and he was they were very conservative and he was gay and he wanted to be an artist and they were all upset about that and I mean we've been working on this thing for ten years. Wow. I think it's finally going to come out in the spring of what 24. But that this is one of like I've really been putting input into like really actually editing. Usually editing a graphic novel means for me means being a sort of ambassador for it. Into the publishing house. And you have all these sort of duties that you have to do. You have to do an audio presentation for the Salesforce so they can listen to it in their car or now at home or that's part of the editorial process. Pantheon and knopf. You have a book that has been recently published. It is the paperback version of go, a kid's guide to graphic design, congratulations. Thank you. What made you decide to create a book about graphic design for kids in the first place? Well, I've said in every interview about this, it was not my idea. I can not claim, ownership of the idea. It was this amazing woman named Raquel Jeremy, who by now is much better known by her pen name, RJ palacio, and she had been a book cover designer of great renown. She did everything for Thomas pynchon. And then she became an editor at workmen. And she called me, I don't even remember what year it was, like 2010, 2011, and said, do you want to have lunch? There's a project I want to talk to you about. And I said, sure, and I thought I just thought it would be a book cover that she wanted me to do. And so we met and she said, okay, unless I'm mistaken, no one's ever created a book to teach graphic design to kids. And as soon as she said it, like this flash went off in my head, I'm like, oh my God, you're right. I can't think of one. And she said, yes, and I think you should do it. And I just thought, I probably said this in the last interview we did about this, but I thought, okay, I don't know any kids? I don't relate to kids. I don't like it. Sign me up. 'cause I just thought nothing's gonna put me outside of my comfort zone like this. But what was great about it and at times frustrating was, okay, rethink all this. I learned these things in college. But now, what do I say to a ten year old? It forced me to rethink about what graphic design is about what the components are. How to teach somebody about it, who doesn't have a lot of life experience. How do you go about doing that? How do you go about teaching somebody something where they don't really have the construct in which to potentially envision it on their own? You have to one of the things that Raquel said from the beginning was don't talk down to them. Don't talk down to your audience. And I had sort of figured that out with kids. Despite all of what I just said, talk to them like they're a peer. And not like they're ten. And they're going to take you a lot more seriously and listen more effectively to what you have to say. And then it's imagination. I have to think about, okay, if I was ten, what would I be able to comprehend about this? And I'm sure I also said in the other podcast about it, the challenge became not so much what to lead put in the book, but as to what to leave out. Because when I learned about graphic design in college, we studied the history. There were all these important historical moments and contributions in the history of graphic design, which is mainly the 20th century that I did not want to get into with the ten year old. War propaganda. Pornography. Sex sells. And in fact, I didn't want to make any of it about selling something. Really hard. Yeah. Really hard. We touched on it a little bit, but not really. It's more about form and content and concept and typography. Think about the alphabet. Do you realize what a miracle the alphabet is? And how it's used. But message sending. And it's really for me sort of a blueprint for creating visual language in a lot of ways. I learned a lot reading it. I learned about numbers and sort of history of numbers. I mean, I learned a lot too, because I had to look all this stuff up. 'cause I thought, all right, who created the written word? That's pretty important. And I didn't know. You do a lot of research, and then you figure out, all right, now I've got to explain this to a ten to 12 year old kid. Had Raquel written wonder at that point? She was writing it at the time. Which I didn't even realize till towards the end, because she, I forget the context, but we put the cover of wonder in go. Which I think was a way of showing something metaphorically without showing it literally. Well, that's one of the things I love about the book that there are visual examples for everything that you talk about. So people can not just read it, but actually see it. And learn it from examples. Yeah, and it's they're all examples of real actual printed work. So did Raquel also edit it because she has that way of talking through the eyes of a child. And she actually had she actually had children. So, you know, every now and then, I mean, I can't think of it. Oh, there's a spread where I'm trying to teach the difference between sincerity and irony. You know, to a kid and using two different words and then depicting the words in different ways.

"And that's kind of like hard to explain. What it came down to was that book was so personal to him, and it was an allegory about something else in his life. That he started micromanaging it in a way that he didn't on the other four books that I designed for him. Like he didn't want his name on the front. Which made our editor in chief's head explode and it can become very tricky. You recently worked on three book jackets for haruki murakami, first person singular, murakami tea, and writing as a vocation. Yeah. Would they all different types of experience? Completely. Completely. What I love about designing for him is that you sort of start from scratch every time. And those are three completely different books. So first person singular is short stories. Murakami tea is this sort of little gift book that's about his T-shirt collection. And he's got all these stories about them. It's really interesting. And then the new one that's coming out this fall is writing is a vocation. It's precisely what it's about. It's about his writing process. So those are three completely different things. And you just have to consider what's the book about and how are you going to convey to the reader, what's murakami doing now? Like the new one, writing is a vocation. I made the letter M into a huge labyrinth. So writing as is going into the labyrinth, and then coming out at the bottom is a little arrow, a vocation. And so the visual metaphor is going through all these starts and stops and false endings to get finally where you need to go. Do you start by sketching? Do you start on the computer? How do you work? You know what? I've never been a sketcher. Back in what? A sophomore in college, one of our graphic design classes, we had to keep a sketchbook. And that was work. Like doing the actual assignments, that was much easier than actually having to document them. In a sketchbook, it's just not my temperament. I do all the sketching up in my head. And if there's something that I need to execute it by somebody else like a photographer would have you, then maybe I'll make a sketch and say, hey, we want a monkey raising his hand or something like that. It's so interesting when people work in their heads like that, Roxanne writes my wife Roxanne writes an entire essay in her head before she starts typing. Now that is amazing because writing writing is a whole other thing for me. Yeah, no, no, I need to be at the keyboard and writing and writing an InDesign. Well, what's interesting is that you're not only just a designer, you're also a writer and an editor. You've written several novels and you've edited two important books over the last year, original sisters by Anita kunz, and our colors by gongora, tagame. How do you pivot back and forth between these different vocations? I'm hugely grateful for it. I have an especially in the last two years. I've been so grateful to have work to do, because I was just in isolation for so long, you know, down in my place in South Florida and how do you pivot, I'm a fan of all of it. Like I really love it. And so that really helps. If I can't imagine how people work on things that's assigned to them, that they don't want to do. And that's like most people. I mean, occasionally, I'll have to do a book cover for something that I'm not all that interested in. But I can get interested in it. Computer coding in 1940 or whatever. That's not something normally I would Michael Beirut have that ability to sort of find something interesting about anything. Well, I mean, anything that's thrown at me. How do you go about finding an inquiring books? Because you do that, you look for graphic novels to publish. It's a totally organic process. In the case of original sisters by Anita Koons, I had known her for a long time. I'd known her work for a long time. I think she's absolutely brilliant. It had never occurred to me to publish any of her work because she's not what we call a sequential artist. She's not a graphic novelist. Which is mainly what I'm looking for. And so a couple months into the pandemic, I got this proposal from her email. And she had originally called it the originals. I was stunned. It's a book of portraits of women in history. Some of whom you know, but a lot of whom you don't. And then her researching of them. And so you have people to bounce things off of. And so I sent it to some of my colleagues and said, I think this is kind of great. What do you think? They're like, yeah, we think this is really kind of great. And so that's a submission. The protagonist are colors I pursued that. And we had published him previously. And very successfully. So that makes it much easier to do the next project. How involved are you in the editing process when you acquire a book? That's a really good question. Sometimes not at all. Sometimes intensely like I'm publishing this graphic novel by this guy wonderful Toronto cartoonist illustrator in a Maurice vela coop. And he was just in town and we were working on that and it's really one of the first graphic novel because usually we get them fully formed and I'll have a couple of ideas and we have a copy editing department that's going to take care of that stuff. But with this, it's with this the book by Maurice fellow coupe is called I'm so glad we had this time together and it's a

"And as the band is playing and I'm sitting at the bar chatting with this giant creature thing. And that was just wild. So not only did you have this wonderful costume made for you, I knew that they also gave you a book to hold. They gave me a prop book they took my book go. And they made a Star Wars version of it. It was just so touching the effort that they went to. And that was all JJ. I knew you've been a Star Wars fan since you were quite young and when you were little boy, you made a Star Wars scrapbook. Talk about what you laughing. Yes, I made this scrapbook and it had, for some reason, David prowse, who was the physical embodiment of Darth Vader. I guess was doing this tour. This was way before Comic-Con's existed. This would have been like the late 1970s and he came to our local department store boss cobbs and I waited in line and got him to sign it and the scrapbook that I had that is not a scrap. It was a notebook. It was a spiral notebook that had Darth Vader on the front. And then I started putting stuff in it. Many years later, when I was helping my parents to move, I found it in their storage unit. So when I went over to on the set, I gave it to JJ as a present. Could you imagine what little chip kid would have thought when he was making that scrapbook that one day you'd end up on not only on the set, but in three scenes in the movie? The final chapter. What can one say? 9. Saga? Yeah. I know that it's a hard story. In that you were grieving quite terribly during that time. But I also think it's a really beautiful story about sort of manifesting something that you really want to help your spirit. Yeah, and something that he was willing to chose to do JJ's generosity, for sure. I want to talk about go, but I also want to talk about so many of your other books. You attended Pennsylvania state university where you graduated in 1986 with a degree in graphic design, which you've written about in the cheese monkeys and an learners. Your novels, afterwards, you were hired as a junior assistant designer at Knox, where you still work today. Yeah. All these years later. In addition to working as the associate art director now, you are also editor at large for their graphic novels, division. I think it's safe to say that you've designed over 2000 book covers. Book jackets. I would think at this point, yeah. Yeah, because in our last interview, which was several years ago, it was at the 1516 hundred mark. So I was trying to do the math. So the covers include work for cormac McCarthy, David sedaris, Donna tartt, Whoopi Goldberg, Oliver sacks, John, updike, James elroy, who stated that you are the world's greatest book jacket designer. And he's not lying, time out New York stated that the history of book design can be split into two eras before graphic designer chip kid and after. So I'd like to talk about some of your recent covers because you really are in a whole new zone now with some of the work that you're doing, which is magnificent first, you design Billie Jean King's memoir all in, which immediately became a New York Times Best Seller. What was that process like? What is it like to work with these sort of legends? I'll tell you, I mean, the process was so different because it was by then we were in the pandemic. And I was down in a little studio in my apartment. So it was all virtual. I mean, I think had the world not changed, I would have been taking meetings with her at the office, and as it was, there was a lot of zoom, it's interesting when you work with somebody of that at that level, they have a team. And she very much wanted the team involved. And it turned out fine, but it was just a lot of time. You know, talking to this person in that person and then sort of explaining why I was doing what I was doing. But she was great. And she knew Charles Schultz and they were friends. And so I don't know, somebody did their homework and knew that I had that history. So I think that helped the big question was what image of her would we put on the front? And we, as a publisher, really, really wanted a vintage action shot of her on the court. And she was saying, but that's not who I am anymore. I'm an activist now. That was 30 years ago, 40 years ago. And so you have to listen no matter who the author is. You have to listen to them if they have strong ideas about what they want. And so we tried, I tried. You know, a couple of options where, all right, here you are now on the front, but look at this amazing shot of you nailing this. And so she, I guess, acquiesced is the word. And so we put the big photo of her now on the back. And this great action shot on the front. And I think it really did what it was supposed to do. Rodrigo corral and other great book designer puts up a lot of rejected covers on his Instagram, which is so interesting to see. Many, many, many times, I think some of the rejected covers are far better than what ended up going to market. How do you present different options to a client, whether it be enough, whether it be one of your freelance clients, that shows a range of work that both provides the type of work that the client might be expecting to see. But then also takes them to a whole other place that surprises them. Because that's really what you're known for. You're known for breaking paradigms, doing work that's never been done before. How do you get clients to feel safe enough to take those risks? Because in most cases we've been working together for so long. So haruki murakami just trusts me. This latest new one for cormac McCarthy, he just trusts me. Now, sadly, after doing this for almost 36 years in counting, a lot of the authors are gone, Michael Crichton, John Updike. They had it in their contracts that you were their designer for their book. Some of them did. Oliver sacks. I think if you have a reputation that you've built up over a long time, people will at least look at what you've done. Thoughtfully consider it. And then it goes from there. You know, the editor has to say, the publisher has to say, sales has to say, marketing, but I think with me, I have a certain reputation, so they'll at least take it seriously, but again, no matter what kind of reputation I have, if the author doesn't like it, that's just it. And you have to start over. How often does somebody like murakami or cormac McCarthy say sorry chip? This isn't a winner. It happened with Corvette McCarthy on the road.

"Yeah, I think it should be. It should be made. Or maybe a catalog from the shows. Yeah. Batman is not the only comic character you have worked with. You have also designed the trilogy, Superman, the complete history, and Wonder Woman, the complete history for chronicle books. Several books about the art of Alex Ross, which are magnificent, peanuts, the art of Charles M schulz, and so many more. One of your upcoming projects is a book titled Spider-Man panel by panel. Tell us about that. Well, that is going to be, again, that's Abrams and my friend Charlie kochman, who made the connection and because it all has to be sanctioned by marvel. And it's taking Spider-Man first appeared in a comic book called amazing fantasy number 15 in 1962. And that was an immediate hit. And then Spider-Man number one quickly followed. And so what we're doing is a photographic reexamination of both of them. So going super close up with the camera. Because by now, I mean, my God, a copy of amazing fantasy number 15 just sold for $3 million. It's insane to try and find original. But Charlie hunted down for found a collector who had this that had not sealed it in plexiglass. Who allowed us to photograph it. So it will allow the fans to see what it was like to have this comic book in 1962, like up close. It's almost like you're under the covers in your bedroom with the flashlight, looking at it. That's the kind of effect. And plus some mysterious donor had the original art by Steve ditko to the Spider-Man origin story from amazing fantasy number 15. And donated it to the Library of Congress. They were going to allow us to photograph it, but COVID restrictions prevented that, but they're photographing it to our specifications. So you'll get to see the original art, which is always so fascinating. In 2019, you collaborated with JJ Abrams, different from Abrams book publisher. The man on the comic Spider-Man number one, which featured a unique die cut. How did that project come about and how did you go about making that cover? I mean, JJ's a friend, he hired me to, well, he hired me through Paramount Pictures to do a print campaign for a movie that he was producing called morning glory. And this is quite some time ago. The movie didn't do much business, but the experience was great. And the print campaign turned out really well. And we became friends from that. And he and his son, one of his sons, Henry, I guess, pitched to marvel. We want to do our own take on Spider-Man, and 6 issues long. The first one had like three or four variants. And they asked me to do one of the variants. And so I researched what had been done before in terms of really zooming in on the Spider-Man mask in the classic eye and so I decided to do that, but I wanted to see if they would allow a die cut hole so that when you open it up, there's something else revealed underneath. I did what you're really not supposed to do as a freelancer. I sent it to JJ first before sending it to marvel. And so he sort of fell in love with it. And marvel didn't want to spend the money, because it's extra money. And JJ insisted. And so he prevailed and it totally sold out. And so then the marvel art director approached me and said, well, actually, we're doing a new Wolverine number one. And we're doing a new spider woman number one. Can you do die cut covers for those? One of the most unique things about you is how you're able to make things happen. Through the sheer sort of will and creativity of your spirit. And one of my favorite stories that I really want you to share with our audience because it really is about manifesting a reality that you want to make happen is your experience with JJ Abrams and your cameo in the last Star Wars movie. If there was ever a story about persistence and grit and manifesting something that you want more than anything, this is the story. Well, I have to say, it's hard for me to talk about this. It's really a story about a friend helping another friend grieve. So my wonderful, beautiful husband, sandy mcclatchy, had we been together for 20 years. And he became ill and I was a caregiver and through that time JJ would write periodically because he had met him and we had spent time and how are you doing and how is he doing and so by the summer of 2018 I was alone? And I got this notion actually from Chris ware who had visited the set of The Force Awakens. Because when he was over in England getting some sort of award and they were filming that back then and Chris had told me about this experience. And I just wrote to JJ out of the blue and said, you know, I'm actually I'm going to be in London this for a while this fall, could I come by the set and maybe like be a stormtrooper or something? Or something. And he wrote back and he said, we'll figure something out for you. And I'm going to hand you over to my AD Josh and you can work it out with him. And so for two weeks, November into December of 2018, I was on the set and pinewood. And thrown together this costume for me. But they also see, we're in a storm trooper, you actually. I wasn't sure coupon screen not you, but the faces. Chip kids face. I have a beret and a leather trench coat. The thing is like, if you don't know to look for me, I'm actually in it three times. Yes. But if you don't know to look for me like blink and you'll miss it. But I'm in what passes for the cantina scene where three of the leads are sneaking through trying to evade. Kylo ren and his Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac and Anthony Daniels is C-3PO or sneaking through this bar.

"I feel like at this point, it's such a universal thing. But I think the gateway drug was the Adam West 1966 TV show. And the fact that I have a brother who was two years older, I was, I think I was two when the show came out. So he would have been four. We were the perfect audience for it at the perfect time. And it was just so mesmerizing as a kid and exciting and this crazy other world where they, I think it's the escapist aspect of it and part of that is that he's a billionaire, you know? Start to fantasize, it would cost money to be bad. To do it properly. The car and all of that. And then as I was growing up, there were all these other, you know, this show sort of came and went. That was pretty quick, but then the comic books really picked up on the much darker origins of the strip. And DC Comics was very good about constantly reprinting the original stories. So that was a revelation to me that it was like dark and scary and the Joker was like really scary and killing people and mysterious ways and announcing it on the radio and just fascinating. And I don't know. I just never got over it. Which is your favorite Batman portrayal? No. Aside from madam west. Right. The cop out answer is the voice actor Kevin Conroy on the animated series. I think he's near perfect. I think in terms of like the movie portrayals, oh, it's just so hard to say because at this point they're so many. I was very impressed with Robert Pattinson. Yeah. I would say. Yeah, my nephew, too. I was impressed with him, and I thought the costume was great. Yeah, I mean, you know, and this is a whole other geeky discussion. I think Christian Bale was the best Bruce Wayne. Again, I love the millionaire Playboy carefree aspect of that. So that's his disguise that you would never guess that he was this other thing. Right. And they did away with that in the most recent movie. And I wasn't so crazy about that. You recently curated an art show at art space in Louisiana, titled Batman, black and white. And it features an extraordinary selection of over 150 original Batman drawings that you commissioned from artists, including Alex Ross, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Roz chest, even Gloria Vanderbilt. And the project really began back in 2012 when DC Comics invited you to write a story for their Batman black and white anthology comics title, which was based on their hugely popular 1996 publication. How did it grow into an exhibit of this significance? It was a total accident and I don't know how easy this were effectively I can explain this you don't want a podcast, but basically when issue number one that had my story and it came out by then I think it was October 13 it was New York Comic-Con and they issued it with different covers and one of the covers is what's called a blank variant. So it's this uncoded card stock cover that is just blank white except it has the logo of the comic on it. And the idea was is they do it to this day you get that version and you go to a convention or you go to a show where you go to whatever and where there's artists and you wait in line and get Neil Adams to draw on it or get your favorite artist to draw on it. And so as his my temperament I became completely obsessed, I started buying these things up on eBay. Just thinking of like who? And it was a really interesting exercise and first of all, there have been people who I wanted to draw a Batman for me, you know, for a long, long time who don't normally draw a Batman like who? Well, you know, art spiegelman, this Dutch cartoonist yost farta. I mean, so a lot of the raw artist Charles burns. Kim dyche, Gary panter, it was this strange opportunity to at least like tug on their sleeve and say, would you do this? And, you know, a 165 people said yes. Isn't that incredible? It is. What surprised you most as you were collecting these pieces of art from these extraordinary artists? What surprised me the most? Well, what surprised me is what they'd come up with. Like some people would say, what do you want? And then others would have some crazy idea that they just wanted to do. Like one of the most recent ones that I got over the pandemic is by this amazing artist who goes by our kikuyu Johnson, he's just a brilliant illustrator and he does covers for The New Yorker. And he just released a new graphic novel. He uses a very clear line and I had been wanting to get in touch with him for years to try and publish a graphic novel by him at Pantheon. Finally, he did a cover for The New Yorker called waiting, and it's this soul Asian woman alone. I don't know if you remember it. On the subway track, looking at her watch. With this furtive look on her face, like train, please get here now. And it was just so timely and moving. And that's what finally nudged me to like, come on, get ahold of this guy. But he's like, yeah, all right. I actually have an idea for that. So I sent him the book with a return slip. And I mean, it's brilliant, but so Batman is laying on his back and he's trapped by this giant chicken that has the joker's head on it that's menacing him. And it's brilliantly done, but it's like where the hell did that come from? What does this mean? And he's just like, I've just always been fascinated by this idea. Interesting. Well, that's what makes him the brilliant genius he is. He is. He is indeed. There was also a rather risque cover of Batman and Robin kissing. Yes, that's art spiegelman. Talk about that if you can. That's a reference to his, I guess, infamous New Yorker cover where he has the hasidic man kissing the African American woman. Plets he did it in color. That was the interesting thing. If people wanted to do things in color, that was fine with me. You've written extensively about Batman, your books about the cape crusader include Batman collected, Batman, animated, which garnered two of the comic book industries, highest awards, the eisner awards, and Batman the complete history. Do you anticipate a Batman black and white will also become a book? I would love that, but the problem is it would be a permissions nightmare. I've actually pursued it. It got as far as somebody at D.C. had drawn up a release form. I got a bunch of the artists to sign it, but there was a bunch of them that would not sign it. If you want to use this in a book, fine. But there's no way, because I can't remember what the release language was, but it was basically the artist can't republish it without D.C.'s permission in D.C. can't republish their art without their permission. One day I will try and self publish it just so that it exists, but that would be a lot of work. But I'd really like to do that.

"Talk about why and the worldwide sensation that that costume has become. You're exaggerating a little bit. Not really. I had designed book jackets for Anderson's mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, for what seemed like forever. Like since 1991, and that came about because she was published by knopf and somehow her jackets started getting assigned to me. And that's how I got to meet her. And she was just amazing. And fascinating and sweet. But this window into this whole other world. One of the book covers that I designed for her was called a mother story, which was her memoir of her older son with white Cooper taking his own life. I was just tremendously affected by that. And so through the years, she would make a book, and I would do the cover, and then Anderson was publishing his first memoir, which was just after Katrina. And he wasn't out yet, and it was published by Harper Collins. So for me, that was a freelance job. And that's how I met him. And he was just amazing. You know, I went to his office at CNN and I'll never forget he had a mouse pad that was the wonder twins from super Friends, zan and jaina. Shape of this and form of that. I'm like, oh my God, it's the wonder twins. He's like, you know what the wonder twins are? They said, yes, I love the wonder twins. So I did the cover of that book. And then in the middle of the pandemic, I got an email from him. I think it was like June 2020. That he was going to be working on a history of his family, the vanderbilts. And it was going to be this warts and all thing. And he was inspired to do it because he had conceived a child through a surrogate Wyatt. So long story short, I did the cover, he really liked it. He sent me this text video of him with the book. I mean, I hadn't seen it. And he wanted me to do the end papers too, and I made a coordinate with the jacket and all this stuff. And he was all excited and I wrote to him and I said, could I come by your house and meet Wyatt and get you to sign a book for me? And he said, sure. And then I started thinking, I have a couple of bits of these costumes that survived over the years, amazingly. That my mom made, I have The Batman cape and I have the Robin tunic, but I had this other blue cape. That was you. I'm pretty sure it was used for my brother's gold knight costume, but it looks like a Batman cave. And I thought, I'm going to take this and give it to him. And then I had this vintage Batman Japanese 1966 like a Halloween mask, but it's for a little kid. It's small. And I thought I'm going to bring that to. And so I did and it was just the most lovely experience. But hilariously, I thought, and he starts filming, and there's the nanny there, it's like, that's it. It's like us three or four. You know, I'm wanting to take pictures, but I'm thinking, you know, this is a private thing. But he starts taking pictures, and he starts taking a little movies and stuff. And so the baby is in the actual costume. And yes, he's in the mask. And the cape, there's something about capes. And I guess last fall, he would have been like 18 months. So, you know, you put the cape on him and then he's just running around. There's just something magical about that that I think literally empowers a child for whatever reason I don't know. But he starts filming that and then I can I. He's like, sure. So I start filming and taking pictures. And then he signed a book for me, and he signed a book for my mom. And we just had a lovely, I don't know. It was like an hour hour and a half. And I just thought that was just a lovely private thing. And I'm going to have to figure out a way to tell my mom, but I'm just going to wait because I knew. Debbie, you know my mom. As soon as I tell her, she's going to want to get on a bus and come up to New York and see little white. And I should say, in the past, I was supposed to have lunch with Gloria, I believe it was the fall of 2016. And Gloria had suffered a fall and she couldn't do it. And so she wrote to me, I'm so sorry. And Anderson wrote to me and said, you know, look, I'm really sorry that she can't do it, but is there anything that I could do? And my mom and my aunt still were coming to New York. So we were his guests at CNN for like two hours. He's just the best. He is exactly what you see on TV. He's just a great, great guy. But anyway, so I just thought I'm going to tell my mom, but I was just putting it off because I'm sure she was going to call the local paper and have them put it on page one. And so the following week, my mom goes to this meeting of she's on the one of these committees for the local symphony for the reading symphony. It's the ladies committee or whatever they call it. And one of these women said, well, that's really something about Anderson giving the cape that you made for chip to his little boy. And my mom's like, what are you talking about? The previous day he had gone on CBS Sunday morning. I think it was Gayle king. Said, what are you going to do? Are you going to take him out for Halloween? And he said, I'm not sure, but if we do, I have the perfect costume and he told the whole story. And so that cat was out of the bag and then he told it again on Drew Barrymore. And he told it again on Stephen Colbert. And, you know, your mom's now getting orders for a little Batman. I got the biggest kick out of it. But I should add that evening after I had given him that stuff. He texted me and he's like, are you sure you want to give this away? Because if you want it back, I will totally understand. And I said, this means so much to me that you have this and that he has it. And I said, by the way, and I sent him a couple other pictures of the stuff that I still do have. Well, it's sort of giving a whole new life to these wonderful things that were handmade with lots and lots of love. Yeah. Exactly. Talk about your love of Batman. You've been called a bat maniac, which I've never heard. I'd never heard that term until I did the research for this show. What feels it? What feels that passion?

"Of the logo and the identity is now shared in another new book that's come out about Jurassic Park that actually has been published by tops. The card company. It's actually been published by Abrams. Oh, okay. But it's Abrams publishes these and they're beautifully done. These collections of tops collector cards so they've done like Star Wars and wacky packages and Mars invades. So then they were going to do Jurassic Park and the editor of the series is my dear friend Charlie kochman at Abrams. And he suggested, I guess, to tops and including universal that I write in afterward. And so I did, and they had to vet everything. And I basically just explain again how this happened with photographic evidence. And they published it. So for me, it's a very meaningful hallmark for me because it's the first time that Universal Pictures is acknowledging that I did this. Because I'm never in the movie credits. I've already received a penny of the proceeds. That is certainly true. So there it is. It's in print with the stamp of approval by Universal Pictures. I'm glad that it's at least acknowledged that way. Like when I was I did two ted-talks and the first TED Talk was basically like, this is who I am and this is what I do. And I very much wanted to make creating Jurassic Park a big part of that. Because I want this I want to say I want to own it. I want to own the fact that I did it. Absolutely. It's one of the most recognizable logos of the 20th century and now it's continuing into the 21st. I mean, it's so interesting that they rebooted the movie. They rebooted it with all new actors only in this third movie are Laura Dern and the rest of the rest of the cast back. But the logo's been there. For all 6 movies. That's incredible. It is. It's amazing. It's changed a bit over the years. But the Jurassic Park logo hasn't. No. And the new book is really beautiful. One thing I found in my research that I didn't see in any of the previous times that I've interviewed you is a facts that Michael Crichton actually sent to sunny Mehta, which has the normal heading of effects, the two from the date, et cetera. And then in giant typewritten letters, it says, wow, fucking fantastic jacket. And I thought that was pretty cool too. Yeah. Boy, those were the days. Chip, you were born in shillington Burke's county in Pennsylvania. And I know as a child, you were enthralled by pop culture and I love to remind you that in the prologue to your first monograph, you stated, I did not grow up yearning to become a book designer. What I wanted to be was Chris partridge on the partridge family. Absolutely. I still don't understand why you were so fascinated with Chris, especially since two actors played the same game. I know. And that was fascinating too. What was it about Chris that enthralled you so? I wanted to be a drummer and that I did sort of become. But the idea that he's like 8 years old or whatever it is. And he's the drummer of this band. I was just obsessed with that show. I was too. And the music was so good. In that sense, it was sort of like the monkeys, it would be so easy to write it off, but the music was terrific. Yeah, I think the music actually holds up. I think point me in the direction of being one of their great unsung hits that deserves a lot more recognition. I love that show. Yeah. There was something about the dynamic of this family without a dad. Which they never talk about. Never, never with these little kids being part of a big band, I had a massive crush on Susan day, but I also had a bit of a crush on Danny Bundy, juicy as well. I mean, I love them all. Bobby Sherman still to this day. I love Bobby Sherman. Right. Yeah. Your mom was very supportive of your interests. And I think in many ways was sort of the catalyst to a lot of what you ended up loving. I know she made you Batman costumes every year. For Halloween and talk about how she influenced your thinking about cartoons and comics and characters. Well, it was my mom and my dad. I mean, actually, when it came to the cartoon characters, it was much more dad than mom, because he wasn't trying to taunt my brother and I, but he would tell us that he had Superman number one. He had the Superman number one comic and The Batman number one comic, and he had all this stuff when he was a kid, but then it all got tossed into the paper drive for World War II, but he was a sort of a terrific cartoonist who pursued chemical engineering instead. But I remember going up into the attic in the house that I grew up in and just poking around and I would find his old chemistry textbooks. And he would have cartoons in the margins. And I was just fascinated by that. I think the difference between my parents and me is that I felt I could pursue an actual career doing something creative. Whereas I think for them, they were much more pragmatic. Like I said, my dad was a chemical engineer. My mom was what used to be called personnel manager, which you now called human resources. And they both did creative things on the side for fun. And I wanted to do a creative thing as my main job. Hopefully for fun that hopefully to get a salary. My mom, her brilliant creative thing was she was a seamstress. And when we were really little, she would make our clothes. My brother and I, brother Walt. And she would make our clothes, and she would have these little, there would be these little junior league fashion shows. And we're like three and 5 years old, tramping down the runway in these little onesies that she made. So funny. But yeah, then when we went to elementary school for Halloween every year, my brother and I would think up what we wanted to be and for about, I'd say 5 to 8 years, they would figure out what we wanted to be. So I mean, if it's Batman and Robin right away, then for me, Captain America, Zorro, Captain Marvel, the D.C. Captain Marvel, my brother wanted to be hawkman one year. There were these dolls, the silver knight and the gold knight, they were like, GI Joe's, but they were knights and had all this armor and he wanted to be, I think the gold knight. They were very nurturing and loving and sweet and disregard, yeah. You recently gave one of the costumes to Anderson Cooper,

My sister then. Absolutely, absolutely. And hi there, misses Kidd. Hi, mom. Chief, I want to start by asking you about something that I seem to have missed in our four previous interviews, which I've subsequently regretted and wanted to ask you about now. You designed the original Jurassic Park book cover in 1990. Which subsequently was used in the 1993 movie directed by Steven Spielberg. Since then, that same logo has been part of the 5 additional movies. The most recent being the blockbuster summer hit Jurassic World Dominion. It's also on thousands, if not millions of merchandising and promotional items, is it true that the original Jurassic Park book logo was really dark green? Oh, yeah. the original book jacket is just the typography and then the drawing of the dinosaur. And the drawing of the dinosaur, which I did both. But the drawing of the dinosaurs, what they used for the logo. So the lettering is by somebody else and all of that. Okay, yes, we must be accurate about every bit of the credits. Yeah, I think so. Absolutely. And but yes, I don't know what I was thinking with a couple of things with that cover, but the drop shadow on his name. Like, why is it there? Maybe somebody had said his name needs to pop more or something. But yeah, from a distance, it looks like it's the dinosaur looks like it's black, but then when you get a real close to a first edition in the unforgiving light of day, you can see that it's a dark green. And I think what I was thinking was something about primordial ooze. Yeah. What is the strangest thing you've seen the logo on? A human body. Really? Oh, sure. So people have tattoos. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you were going to say something about the toaster. I know there's a Jurassic Park toaster. Well, which you were so sweet to give me. They made a toaster that upon putting the piece of bread in and pushing the button when it pops up the logo is on it. And I will admit, I have it in the box, but I have an open the box. It's probably worth more not opening it. The kind of guy I am. All of the history

"It's going to play my friends this weekend, a little bear creek action in the St. Louis area, also going to play another spot in the St. Louis area, a little quarry course, perhaps that we looked up on the barstool golf time app I use it in Arizona all the time. It's awesome. You got reviews. You want to see what your peers are saying about a course about the staff about the greens and the turf, the situation, how fast they are, are they punch, all that good stuff, you can leave reviews, and then by leaving those, you're helping other people, you're also gaining rewards, and you can use those rewards to get discounted merchandise in the barstool store. So not using the barstool golf time app is a crazy move. But your next tea time with the barstool golf time app available right now in the App Store. Yeah, you know, I just think that golf should not be boring. It should be, it should be exciting. And a lot of that's going to come in what happens with the shots and the match that people have. But with the architecture, you're kind of steering people around. So it's cool to hear from people who are the ones, you know, actually designing it. Do you feel a lot of pressure when you get brought in to deliver to create? Something that's good. All right, that's a long-lasting piece of property that you're shaping and creating. I don't think so. No. I just don't care. If you answered the first question you asked, which was about how do you pick projects? For confident that we're a good fit and we're the right people for that project. Then the pressure really doesn't exist. If you've taken on something that's not in your Wheelhouse, that you shouldn't have, then maybe there's some pressure, right? But we know what our capabilities are. And sometimes it's fun, you know, we take on things like the thing in LA at rolling hills, where there's a, there's a hurdle, it's a little bit of a challenge, right? It's something different. Right. But never did we think we couldn't build something cool. Yeah, the only. I guess the only real pressure was the castle courses in Andrews. 600 years ago. Home of golf. I'm a Scotsman. You know, I failed that way of history. As we were doing that, knowing that I probably couldn't succeed. Because building anything new was almost inevitably going to get rocks thrown at it. Because you're at the home of golf. Right. And so having to accept that having to just understand that that criticism is going to come. And you're just going to have to live with it. Your whole entire life and probably after your date, maybe then someone will give you a little credit, but it's not going to happen while you're alive. What kind of advice did you get going into that project? You know, my dad gave me the best. He was a superintendent for 60 years. 50 years plus anyway. And he said, you realize you'll never please all the people..

"The mass have a whole new front office in a whole new coaching staff. With jason kidd coming in. So i think there will be at least some sort of honeymoon. I don't know exactly. How long is all these new key. Figures get used to each other. But you're you're absolutely right. I mean dallas had big ambitions in free agency. They wanted to get kyle lowry. They thought lowry would be an ideal fit next deluca given his defense leadership being an old head the way and still shoot it lowry. They thought was ideal. Lowery went to miami forced his way there in a sign and trade and dallas's moves have also been just of the around the edges variety bringing in reggie bullock. I reported this week that they're close to signing frank ntilikina. That should happen but the mavs have not been able to make the splashy move and really. They're splashing move is going to have to be. Can they get kristaps porzingis. Back to the level he was playing at in the walt disneyworld bubble before he he sustained the second major knee injury of his

Jared Dudley Joining Jason Kidd's Coaching Staff With Dallas Mavericks
"Dudley has agreed to become an assistant coach with the mavericks. The forward spent the last. Two seasons with the lakers. And lebron wasn't thrilled about seeing him. Depart lebron tweeted quote congrats to my guy if this is true which it probably is but face palm. Emoji man leap. I'm getting good at reading. Lebron's tweets if i do say so myself shannon. Are you surprised by how hard we're onto this no Because a lot of times you look at the bubble. You never saw lebron without jared dudley. Anthony davis around when you see them out a group setting was normally. They're duds now what they call the dude anyways. Get so for me. I'm not surprised. Lebron lebron lebron geico's two guys. He understands they're gonna be tired that they leave and is always it's hard but that doesn't make it it. It's the right thing for a deadly to do at this point in time scale but that doesn't make it any easier on

"That's the guy. I want in a game for my life. I want that guy. That's just a toenail on the line. What a clutch shot that. That's not what lebron does. That's what he does so we just went away. What did we see him. Do in the gold medal. Game against france we saw damian lillard the other guy you put in the same conversation. I don't put him in the conversation with that guy. Because dame goes to the free throw line late in the game against france to is the game he goes miss. Miss almost predictably. I thought maybe miss one thing. He missed two of them. And what did k. d say next possession. They had a chance. He breaks for the basketball. Give me the ball on the imbalance from the the opposite in and as soon as he touches the ball. I said i turn to ernest a you can ask her. I said game over. Because he wanted the ball he wanted to get fouled and he marched right down to the other frito line. He is both shots. He's swished above eight. It was game over gold medal. that's who he is. He is a closer and a score. If you wanna debate lash shot if you want to debate a free throw. But that's not what they say and they said the game for your life. You do realize Game where you live. So that was a game winner. Take all you do realize even though those forty eight the comfort your soul causing you didn't win zach. Lowe even admits navy after kevin durant last calendar year. Maybe maybe a few fewer than half would take libra figure for second. Yeah man who is eighteen. Be the guy Eighteen that would even be mentioned would alone in his eighteen thousand. He mentioned what kareem is eighteen. Even mention names somebody else play. Robert perez live they so kareem and carl malone those were the two great player they even thought of for game. But you lied eighteen and as a. You know what help i won't. Even i won't even tom. Brady's forty four years old. And i want him differ sports gill. Okay but i told you if you just say any sport. I want the forty four year old forty four years old and i want him to save my life and if it's basketball and basketball only i want hells kevin thirty to thirty two yup. I want that thirty two year old. I'm sorry it's game over. He is the best player on the planet. And i think zach. Lowe's actually acknowledging. He's he's what general manager and the coaches neal if he helped me go nice. Try go even in your heart. If i had. We need to get a lie detector. Get attacked we need to get one. Hook it up to that again. We get what a lot of. Yeah no i should have. You guys hooked up all the way. We should do that for. I want your opinions. This story guys. Jason hid is getting some flack after excerpts from a janas onto kubo biography have surfaced according to the book in two thousand seventeen is head coach of the bucks kid called a less when it practice on christmas eve after he was upset about a loss against the hornets tonight before he cursed out players during practice telling them terrible and pieces of leaf. One anonymous player called it quote psychological warfare. Shannon does this signal trump for luca no because normally coaches learn from the mistakes. You look at coach belichick. You look at him in cleveland. Look at what you turn into. That's a fair point. You look at my chat hand in oakland. You look at what he turned into. in denver. You look at p. Carol look at p. caroline seattle stops at the jefferson new england. So skip a lot of time guys learned from their mistake. Co tony dungy tremendous career in tampa. He goes to indy and he every year. They're in the playoff vying for the super bowl. So a lot of times you learn from your mistakes but also give a lotta time coaches coach. The way there were coached. So maybe somebody jason kids pass. That's the way path past. And that's the way they called him and he thought that was the best way. Because jason kidd what other people say about jason kidd he's wanna go middle. He's one of the nba title. He does have the second. Most assist also noted it has got like fifteen thousand you got a bush was for jason. Kidd wasn't a boom as a player. So i just think he learnt. He's gonna learn from a mistake skipping they ask him the said. What did you learn. What would you do differently. Milwaukee and brooklyn relax and enjoy the growth of the team. More he also mentioned not being so hard we need to deliver the message so now skip. Someone have to tell him that. He knows the mistakes that he made and the correct. Those mistakes yeah. I don't think it. I think this is going to be good for lucas. Luca needs to be held accountable. Now it's going to be very difficult because he hadn't been held accountable before and he's had so much success doing it this way so initially. He's probably going to book but i. This is not easy. If you've had someone. I think the tell people all the time. The greatest thing to happen to me and my nfl career is that. When i went to had dan rea coat because they re old school he was hard as ale. And you know. I knew him very well when he was tom. Landry's number one correct. So everything they tom did he was. He told landed with his coach. Yeah he officiated. Under coach landry and dan played at south carolina cool so he brought us down now and college give you present three. You don't think anything about it. And maybe once i got to the league. It wasn't the price horrible. I saw the best complainer hill. I thought that's what i should do. The predecessor to loan to hard. Yeah but it prepared me for anything. That could come so if you if you weren't brought a pin that system like coach kopplin gathered jacksonville's killed. They got drafted there. What they knew when he went to the what the hell is. 'cause they had jim puzzle where she so gm and he coordinated fasel was. Yeah look i believe. He's learned his lessons. I believe he's learned from the mistakes. I think he'll be a better coach. Or and i think he took up something that everybody's not going to like every coach. They're going to be a lot of players. That low coach belichick coach lot plans rings. But everybody's not gonna like coaching style. And that's okay. okay. I do think in the end. This is at least a red flag for luca. If luca carefully reads this he's going to be on high alert for how is. He has really mellowed when he gets another shot to coach us in me here because i was pretty shocked. Janas included this much scathing material in his biography and it was interesting. I'm not sure i've ever seen this before. The biographer went out and interviewed several of the other players on janas teams. In twenty dean. Sixteen seventeen in. Milwaukee is jason coached to to get the more scathing just disgusting details because this is the kind of stuff for coaches today. Usually get you all put in jail abusive coaching savior. But without going into the gory details. It was christmas eve and they'd just blown a game and jason like their effort or the way they performed closed. The game in there were supposed to have christmas eve often. They'd all made plans with their families and said nope we're going to practice and we're going to practice hard and he ran them into the ground on christmas eve that they all say ruined christmas for all. I could barely walk after this practice. I don't know how you would have accepted that. Probably not very well. Oh we we. Bright as little christmas eve christmas day. Okay but the vote skip. football's different. You know how coaches football you've been around for forty years. I got but there was one player. Backup big name larry. Sanders and the honest book goes into gory. Details about jason. Call him a pc. You know what an terrible player running him into the ground. The quote and brandon knight. Who still in the summer league as we speak about how. He'd never seen things like that before. I hadn't seen anything like it since jason.

They're passionate about to help entrepreneurs kind of promote their business. It's really just a space to talk about what you doing. I'm surrounded by a lot of friends who are successful entrepreneurs. You've got to work for themselves. I want them to be able to talk about that. Other people can kind of follow their dreams. And i also went to an end in the works of as i wanna write. A book always always wanted to be a writer. I'm not gonna person. I have a letter creative energy. I was teachers will talk about. They didn't talk about. How walker chip. I was talked about how creative i was and how i preferred to entertain people then pay attention in class. I think that's just my energy.

Works as a financial adviser is writing a book. Called money moves for women over fifty. She got to come talk about her book and who else. I had another recently but yeah i like giving people a space to be themselves talk about their successes and cure other people on because a lot of times when you see someone that is accessible. And they're like oh you know their parents paid for that or she. She's probably struggling. We women especially we tend to downplay each other. We tend to underestimate each other. I just want somebody. I just want people to kind of what has happened to their power and also not be afraid to brag not being afraid to say look. I did this amazing. I remember seven figures this year. Let's celebrate this or say i. I just wrote my first book. I want people to buy it. Come out there and promote yourself. Give your space to talk about yourself and promote yourself. Because i feel like we're kind of society like okay.

But i'm like what you just talked about an. I have a hard time talking about myself in bragging about myself. It's good though to to have more confidence in yourself like there's a fine line between confidence in hockey like if you're just shredding it'd be better than you know. Look what i did. I'm proud of this. Forget go me good for you. That's a confident. Honestly if people call konya crazy commend him for the amount of confidence. That dude hasn't himself. No matter how crazy he manages he jumped back to that cocking side like you. So cocky and arrogant though too. He has been. He has been playing.

The Crossover NBA Show with Chris Mannix
test-debug
"When the olympics start will be the most talented team in tokyo. Hands down no question. Most talented team in tokyo with the roster that they have but this is like a five alarm fire right now howard. This loss to nigeria. I don't care if they win the rest of these pre olympic games which will take place through next sunday. This has to make you nervous if you're a fan of the team because not only is it this. The loss to nigeria. But you go back two years ago at the world championships where you had a us team. That was good. Didn't have probably better team now than they were back in two thousand nineteen but all nba players. They finished seventh. They've been seventh at the world championships. 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.

"kidd" Discussed on Lakers Nation Podcast
"So, it makes a lot of sense for kid to work with him. I think, well, the Lakers off this kid, I love those fits of Terry Stotts, Alvin Gentry and maybe I mean when all of a sudden done maybe bring back Brian Shaw again, he did win us ships as an assistant, be sure he's doing some interviews right now so I think that's another thing one. But no Terry. Stotts as far as, you know, being the Trailblazers head coach, I think he could be great. Also, Trevor, he was the assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks when they won a championship with Jason Kidd. So, that's a nice little filler there, as well. Of course, Alvin Gentry, I mean, the Kobe tap on the but so much Lakers connections there. I'm Terry, Stotts would be the best fit just cuz he's a quality head coach as an assistant coach former player as well, but yeah, well missed Jason, Kidd best of luck, great move for all parties and no doubt that mature Lincoln Vogel will find someone great to help us out with Phil handy. I think it now makes a lot of sense why Jason Kidd removed his name for the running for the the Blazers job, right? Because that was a bit of a head-scratcher. The general feeling as well. There's only 30 NBA head-coaching job. So if you really want one and one opens up, you kind of have to jump on it, right? Unless you really know something else is coming down the wrong. I think this is, what kid was waiting for, because it just makes a lot of sense for him to go take over the Mavs again, his former Club. The situation is in, if you ask me, hey, which team would you rather coach? I would definitely rather go coach wage. Now, maybe there's a little bit more pressure to win right now because if you don't look, it could be gone all it. But the Blazers are kind of in a similar situation. And if you go to the maps and the Mavs are, if you're able to get to the second round while you just you just did your job, right? All you gotta do is get to the second round with the maps right now and then take baby steps from there. So I think that that is the possibility. Is there to really put down roots and stay there long-term if you get there and do it right? If you're Jason Kidd, whereas if you go to Portland, if you're not completely successful in the first year of building a contender, Damian Lillard's getting older your window as much money. So it makes a lot of sense to me why kid would decide to wait and then go to the Mavs and now that leaves the Lakers in a spot where they can add somebody else again. Hopefully and offensive mind because I feel like they're pretty good on the defensive side of things..

ESPN NBA Insider Isn't a real fan right now in the Dallas direction that scandal a few years ago, and now you go out and hire coach has had a Suspect past.

Tournament upsets working against No. 1 Gonzaga
"We were having a spirited debate about gonzaga show where we were talking about this. You know casual basketball fans will say. Hey gonzaga doesn't win it this year. This is the best chance to win it. But i was saying about this about for a long time. I went back to that team. But they have with nigel williams gos- and cement karnowski the amount of masquerading as a man as you always call him. This has been a consistent theme. Do you think this their best chance to win. It's considering we have by double digit seeds moving on the sweet sixteen in relation to the competition. While i think that's the camera talks about the best team. It's got to be this best team in relation to who you're gonna be playing against so when you look at this gonzaga team in relation to the field. It's probably their best chance. Not we'll have another chance knowing mark few they're going gonna continue to get good players but this team is unique. There historically good offensively. They create matchup problems match problems at the point. The size of suggs. Who quite honestly reminds me. Jason kidd matra points of front timmy. With his footwork and his skill level match up at the four spot with casper stretch defense and put it down and mma forces your for to guard on the floor especially in transition joel. Who absolutely only triple double in the history of gonzaga basketball. And we don't even talk about the dude. So yeah i think in relation to the field i think this is gonzaga's best shot. They're so good offense when he gets up every fourteen seconds which is absolutely ridiculous to flow of their offense really puts a lot of pressure on your defense not only to get back but to get set so i would agree. This is their best shot in this moment in time because of the

"Kidd occupies himself by traveling around the frontier of Texas. Reading newspaper headlines and newspaper stories from around the country to crowds of people for money. They each pay a dime apiece to hear him read these stories and Think strange to us now. But think about it. At a time when literacy was low and daily access to newspapers was rare. These readings would draw the same kind of crowd the same kind of attention as say, for example, a traveling show or a tent revival, just something to break up the monotony of their lives. At some point while traveling from one town to another somewhere between the Red River and Dallas. Tom Hanks's character, captain Kidd rides up on an overturned wagon. And discovers this blonde haired, blue eyed little girl wearing native American clothes and hiding in the brush next to this wrecked wagon. Little girl. Joanna is a lost child. It turns out that she has been twice orphans. She was orphan, too, the first time when Kiowa Indians massacred her family, and she was orphaned at the second time when American soldiers massacred the Kiowa family that had kidnapped and adopted her. And so she really woz a person without a tribe of without a country without AH, home, she was lost. The movie is about captain Kidd's efforts to reunite this child with her family in Castroville down here.

How Elden Kidd Went From Convict To DHS Informant
"Two thousand and one eldon was released from prison in texas and allowed to return home to his life in riverside california under the condition he would go undercover for the government in almost every way. Eldon was the ideal confidential informant for the department of homeland security which had replaced immigration and naturalization services after the september eleventh attacks. He was a living legend in the american immigrant. Communities and had unfettered access to the border crossing network. He was also a recognizable and reliable contact on the other side of the border and they wasted no time. Before putting elton toward my duties were somewhat surprising with the border patrol. They were mainly concerned with ferreting out. Corrupt border agents. So what they asked me to do was kind of sketchy they would ask me to go down to tijuana in maybe one of the darker rougher parts of town and walk around and look a little bit lost and ask if there was someone who could help me cross a friend. Usually that was okay. I'll take you to a guy and that guy will take me to another guy and the whole time. I'm quite worried because just by asking the question you could be arrested. So finally i would find someone and i would tell them that. This is particularly important person and they cannot be caught. they absolutely cannot be con- price doesn't matter it's just that they have to be taken their first certain armed with my experience in mexico and i could name names and situations. I was one hundred percent believable to them because of my history so they would direct me to border guards that were on the take so once the contact was made then. It was up to me to find a person who had a passport. Who was a us citizen. That would be willing to play the role and be crossed over. This person could not be just some mexican on the street. Well of course. I asked him. Do you have an agent would be willing to do this. And they did not at the time at least in the beginning. I thought that they were very concerned for my safety. And that. I was more or less part of the family. But i quickly saw that. That was not the case. They were not willing to risk their own agents. So i had to find someone who was legal and would be able to do that job for some of money usually under five hundred dollars.
