"And I guarantee Mark view, Mark views message is, these guys are tough. Bryce drew grand cave. This is the third team he's taken to the NCAA tournament to valpo where he played. He had the infamous shot in 1998 against old myths, right? Then he led Vanderbilt to the intelligent tournament. And now he's taking Grand Canyon. And this Grand Canyon team is fascinating. They shoot a lot of threes. Almost 41% of their shots are three point attempts. And they make a lot of threes. They've made 38%. Sometimes you'll see high volume three point shooting teams, but they're not very good at making them. They just figure if we shoot a bunch of them, things will work out in our favor. That's not Grand Canyon. I mean, they really let it fly, and once that happens, they're just kind of tough to deal with. Gonzaga is sort of this sexy pick to make it out of that region, but I guarantee you, on film, a Grand Canyon team that's lost one day to the Valentine's Day I believe, making their threes, they're gonna be tough. Myron, you did as we talked about, 12,000 words on March Madness and this bracket. But can I ask you to just boil it down to this? Who's going to win? Passage your question. I will go with the team that I think has been the most consistent. They have veterans and that's the same formula that Villanova and Baylor and Kansas last year at North Carolina before them. Again, one and done teams don't win national championships. That's a lot. So that's the case. I'm going to go with the experience group. I'm going to sue Marcus satcher can tell. And I'm picking Houston to win it all home. In Houston, which will be a remarkable story. It's going to be hard to rattle that group after everything they've experienced. I spent Houston to cut down the net. Just like Tom Brady and the bucks winning the Super Bowl in their home stadium, you think Houston is going to get it done in their home city. Myra Metcalfe 12,000 words written and some time for us to really appreciate the insight. Thank you all for having me as always. I'm Sam Borden, and this has been ESPN daily. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

"But I also think that region isn't wanting to be on the look. Iowa and Chris Murray, what he's been able to do when they get hot, they can be tough. Miami's got some injury issues. I don't know how much of a threat that is, but Indiana and trace Jackson Davis, when he's on, they've been able to compete with anybody in America. I will state has had their moment. Not on the road, but when they put it together, they can be really good. And I think Colby Jonathan Xavier, that's a team that, to me, I won't be shocked that they find a way to get there just because I think they can be that good and I was right there, beat Alabama, is the kind of team where you go, okay, I think they can compete with the top tier, and then you have a Texas team that's trying to get Rodney Terry to be the permanent head coach after everything he's done. So I don't think that's a region where you look at it and go, Houston is going to play in Houston. They have a lot of obstacles ahead.

"All right, Myron, so Alabama captured its first number one overall seed in program history. They're the number one seed in the south, but there's this massive story hanging over the program, the tragic shooting death of 23 year old jamia Harris and this is a really important story and we're going to do a lot on it and how Alabama star player Brandon Miller's potential involvement relates to this situation. We're going to do a whole show on that later this week. For the moment, though, let's think about it in basketball terms. Brandon Miller is going to play in this tournament. What do we need to know about how difficult of a tournament this will be for him and this team given what's gone on off the court? Yeah, it's the situation that I don't know that I've ever covered. Where you have this criminal proceeding with the former teammate, Brandon Miller's name attached to it, although he was not charged, has not been suspended. I mean, Brandon Miller is the most difficult matchup in America. I think after Zach eating, he's just, at that size, 6 foot 9, the way he can shoot. I mean, he could go and play for the Knicks tonight, and he'd be okay. So it's going to be interesting. How does a freshman? With all of that weight, handle this situation. And I think it's a real thing. Because that's your leader. And freshmen who don't have to deal with any off court drama. Have struggled in the MTA tournament. Again, when people say one and done error, who are the one and done teams are the one and done lead teams that made a run to the national championship. 2015 duke? Tyus Jones, jaleel Okafor, justice Winslow, when they beat Wisconsin in that title game, 2012, which had a guy named Anthony Davis who might be a future Hall of Famer. So other than that, you just haven't seen it. So you add that extra layer of off court challenges to Brandon Miller and what he already has to think about. And remember, the schools can control media up until this point. But once you go to the NCAA tournament, you have to let reporters in. We get to ask whatever we want. That's going to be a different level of scrutiny for Brandon meller compared to what he's faced so far. And that could be a lot. So I do think the off court stuff matters in terms of how you view Alabama steel. No, I think there's no question and you're right. I mean, the program and Miller are going to face more questions than they've certainly faced in the last month or so. What do you think about how a kid like Brandon Miller will handle that? I mean, he was pretty loose and the SEC tournament, you know. I think this is a different thing. I think they can still make a run to the final four. I mean, they're that good and he's that good. But I think as they continue to advance, I think that's where you wonder the emotional impact on a guy who says just completely innocent, had no idea what Darius miles was up to. And just kind of got caught up in a bad situation. But the scrutiny is not going to end. So I think their potential is final four and to come out of that region. San Diego state's top though. Matt Bradley, the way he shoots the three. If they can get past Charleston, which is tough. You know, Maryland hasn't been a good road team, but at home. They've been bearing them, Virginia is always sturdy. Crichton to me, if you get past their stumble early in the season, they've been playing like an elite team. They have that quality and I think Baylor is one of the tougher three seeds I've ever seen and oh, by the way, Arizona's waiting there as well. So there are no guarantees from this Alabama team, especially with everything else that's going on. All right, Myron, that's the south. Let's go to the Midwest region. You were covering the AAC title game for us earlier on Sunday where Houston got upset by penny Hardaway and the Memphis tigers. But Houston still gets that number one seed in the Midwest, what did you see from the cougars in this game and what is their performance? Tell us about what they might do over the next couple of weeks. You know, Kellen Samson told me he's having a lot of fun with this group. They've got some young guys to go along with Marcus sasser and I think they're loose. I think they're the kind of team where they're not going to be intimidated by much and I think they're just ready for whatever, you know, ready for whatever comes at them. And the market Sasha thing that can't be overlooked because we just don't know enough. I mean, I watched him today, it looked like maybe he could go, he could go and play, but until we know for sure, there are clearly a different team if he's not good to go. We saw that in their game against the Memphis and the AAC championship game. They have other pieces. But they don't have a market Sasha if he can't go. So I think healthy Houston can win a national championship, but Marcus sasser also has an injury that is difficult to sort of figure out at this stage. Will he re aggravate it? How hard do they push them? Those are all questions that are going to have to figure out. It seems amazing to me, Kelvin Sampson still doing it. He's an interesting character when you talk to him. Either before this game or just over the course of the season, what does he say about this team? And he's just said he's not putting as much pressure on him. And I've heard that from players as well. He's just trying to be more positive and upbeat. But the big question with Kelvin Sampson, Friday morning, you find out that his twin sister Karen Samson had passed away. So he coached the AFC tournament, knowing that he'd lost someone very close to him. He called Karen Sampson, his biggest fan. His wife is also named Karen, but his twin sister in North Carolina was a pharmacist passed away and that's another element of this. You know, a lot of people are talking about Mark and Sasha, but Kelvin Samson just received some of the most devastating news of his entire life and career. You add that on top of Houston and history, getting to the final four, I guess I just wonder if this is one of those situations where is it all too much? No matter how experienced you are, no matter how strong you are. And I think it used to be to anybody in America. Is this just too much for any team to kind of handle? We're going to find out. Myron obviously, the final four is in Houston this year. What are the chances that the cougars are playing in those games in their home city? I think it's strong. I mean, I think Marcus sasso will be okay. And I saw him and it sounded like he wanted to go. He warmed up, it's not a knee injury or something. So I think they can get there, they're just so good, top to bottom. Defensively, they're so tough. And just the way that they attack,

"Myron Metcalf, it is selection Sunday and you tweeted this earlier today. 12,000 words on the NCAA tournament field submitted. And you all better love it, or at least pretend like you do. Now, Myron, as someone who writes for a living as well, I can certainly relate to that second sentiment, but what I'm really wondering is, for you, someone like you 12,000 words on this NCAA tournament field, what is selection Sunday like for you? I mean, is this like Christmas Day? Is it like tax day or you gotta dig in? What is today like for you? Scary. Because you do all that work. And you're like the file, you know, that ESPN puts up there at the top of the page for people filling out brackets. So you just hope against the big mistake. I mean, the little mistakes don't worry me at this point in my career, like if I say someone hit 49% of the three versus 39 or something like that, but you don't want the big mistake and get that email from someone that's like, hey, you messed this up. So, I mean, it's cool to see it, but it's also like, I need at least 24 hours to make sure that I'm really good. And then I can kind of relax and rest them. Everything else, honestly, from this point is easy, but selection Sunday is always just sort of gives me a little bit of a paranoia. I would say. Now, Myron, my emery eagles have already been knocked out of the division three tournament in a first round loss to a juggernaut from Hampton Sydney. So I've decided that this year I'm really going to dig in on the D one bracket and I was reading today about the odds of picking a perfect bracket. And according to the end suitable a, if you're picking randomly, the odds are one in 9.2 quintillion, which I did not know. I don't know if you know my room, but a quintillion is a billion billion. But then I also read that if you actually know something about college basketball, the NCAA says that those odds of picking a perfect bracket actually drop dramatically to only about one in a 120 billion. So I feel like, you know, there's a chance. There's a chance. But as someone who knows more than a little about college basketball, Myron, what I'm wondering is, how confident are you that you can help me become the first person in history to pick that perfect bracket? I have zero confidence. You should take my advice to do the opposite. I mean, I did the best in terms of the brackets for me in college. I got finished in a Yahoo bracket once like a 192nd out of a million or 1.3 million, whatever it was. That's amazing. I haven't done that well since. But I haven't done that well since. So I don't know. It's like, I actually think being a quote X quote unquote expert hurts you. Because you don't take the risk that you should. And the people who aren't invested, they do take those risks, you know? They don't care about picket against Alabama or Houston, are Purdue or something like that. Whereas if you know the sport, you know, you get caught in the weeds a little bit. So in terms of picking a bracket, I'd rather be someone who didn't know than someone who

Myron Ebell Discusses the Left's Climate Change Mantra
"The Biden administration, instead of looking to what you said, talking with our energy sectors, talking and saying, what can we do? If I can go to the American people and say, hey, for a short term here, it's going to hurt your pocketbook. But I guarantee you, I'm investing in American companies, American jobs to make sure that we live through this and come out stronger on the other end. Is it just become such a doctrine among liberal, especially the Democratic Party right now that this climate change doctrine is so dominant that they will not that they have trouble even fathoming the realities of where we are in energy consumption. Yes, I think that's true. And of course, if the Biden administration wanted to change course, they would have to eat a lot of crow because from day one, the day President Biden was inaugurated. January 20th, 2021, every single thing he's done on energy has been designed to constrict and limit American oil and gas and coal production. So what's the first thing he did on day one? He got back from the inauguration parade and he signed an order getting us back into the Paris climate treaty. He then suspended all leasing on federal lands and offshore and most of the west is federally owned and then the most of the offshore areas are federal. So it took a huge amount of new production offline. And we could go down the line here. I mean, even today, for last week, a judge throughout the Trump Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases, a very large tract in the Gulf of Mexico that they leased near the end of the Trump administration through an auction, the oil companies pay. They don't get this free. And a judge threw it out because he said that Trump, the Trump Department of the Interior didn't go through all of the hoops. The Biden administration announced last week that they will not challenge that in court.

Myron Ebell on the EU's Oil Predicament With Russia
"So let's take this and bit pieces here for a second. You might an interesting point about Russian oil exports. And especially the one thing we do know is it Russia is an energy based economy, okay? That's where they get most of their money. That's where that's where Putin's war machine, everything else. That's how he does it. Us pulling out of this affects him some more symbolic than probably most, but in the real issue now coming into like Germany, UK, others in Europe, if they joined this, would that not be a bigger impact on his finances, even though he has seemingly an out with China right now. Yes, it would. And I think Britain has already joined. I think the problem is Germany gets most of its natural gas from Russia and Russia can cut that off. And if they do that before the end of the winter, there could be some very cold people in Germany. So I think I don't think the European Union has said that they banned they certainly haven't banned Russian gas. But Russia gets more revenue from oil than it does from gas. So the other thing is you said that Russia is an oil oil based economy. It's not only oil and gas. It's also mining. There are one of the major world suppliers for a number of metals.

Conservative Enterprise Institute's Myron Ebell on Biden's Oil Plans
"Well, let's start off here. The hot topic right now is the leadership from behind the Biden administration has finally made it to the fact that they say we're not going to take Russian oil. We're not going to buy Russian oil right now. We had already seen that happening from shale BP, Exxon and others. Tell our listeners what that really means and then we'll expand from there because I want them to understand really the effects of this right now and how the Biden administration is using that. I think there are pluses and minuses, the fact is that Russia is the world's largest exporter of oil and gas and it produces about 7, 7 and a half million barrels a day. Some of that goes by pipeline to China, but two and a half million barrels has been out on the market and shipped by tankers. So removing those two and a half million barrels from the market is that what's happening or is the U.S. just saying it's not going to buy oil from a tanker that has Russian oil in it, but we're going to buy oil that would otherwise be going someplace else, but is now being replaced by Russian oil. So there's questions about this band. If everybody bans Russian oil, then that will remove a lot of oil from the world market and it will have to be replaced or we're going to see even higher oil prices. So there are a lot of things to try to game out here about how this is going to work because there is some spare capacity in the world oil production system. Some of it's in the United States. Some of it is in Saudi Arabia, some of its United Arab Emirates. So President Biden instead of talking to the American oil industrial and saying, hey guys, I made some mistakes. Let's sit down and see what you can do to increase production. Instead he called Saudi Arabia who wouldn't take his call because they're angry about the cell up to in the Iran

As you said, he has to endure a medical exam and all that, go ahead and do it. And you said estimated premium was one 50. But I don't know if you mean what time period that's per week per month, whatever that period is and how much coverage you're looking at. But going through the medical underwriting is a good idea and it's what I recommend. If you get rejected for that, then yes, the answer is, you beef up the amount of money you have in savings and in investments to deal with a possibility that your partner will die young, but remember the medical industry is much, much better. It disease management with diabetes and the possibility for a normal or near normal lifespan continues to get better and better for people with type one diabetes. This is from Myron and Louisiana, I have a credit card that I've had for over 20 years. The credit limit is $18,000. For the last 7 years I've not used it as much, maybe putting four to $500 per month on the card. Before then, I would put around four to $6000 per month on the card. I've always paid the full balance each month. Today I received a letter from the bank saying they noticed I'm spending way below the available line of credit. Therefore, they're reducing the credit line from 18,000 to 9000. Should I be concerned, my credit score is always been above 800. I don't want anything to hurt it.

"Are you worried about the effect football hat on your brain. At times. I do worry. Have you had a scam. I have had a scan before a routine not because of any symptoms or anything like that and it was clear and clean thankfully haven't expressed any symptoms. But i think right now. My focus was truly been on being the best neurosurgeon. I possibly could be and trying to help in this space anyway. I can not only through the science but also advocacy. I feel like my voice being a former player. Maybe the nfl teams or other orientations. May listen a little bit more. Well this guy played and now he's studying neuro-surgery and neuroscience maybe he has a bit of authoritative voice on this subject. So i would love to use that platform. What do you think of all of the new advancements we've made in mental health with psychedelics. I figure it's very pertinent that we have now expanded and brought in the way we think about mental health. The way we think about psychiatry psychology. The way we think about the human in general mental health used to be something very stigmatized. Especially in certain demographics. Where you really don't want to talk about it or you brush aside because it didn't seem like it had a physical tangible sort of approach. You can't see it exactly and so now that people are at least embrace the fact. Okay well maybe we can't see it but it's real. There's real life consequences for individuals. How can we use alternative therapies and other modalities to help. These individuals achieve their goals in their health. Achieve their goals in their life. Allow them to return to their communities and be successful and contribute. That's incredibly important. Appreciate the fact that more minds are occupying the space to target an effect these individuals in a very positive way. I think it's pretty interesting and as someone who suffers from anxiety. I can tell you that for me. My entire life my go-to my base feeling is a feeling of doom. And i'm very optimistic. I always believe that good things will happen but if there is any sort of situation i go to fight or flight and it takes me very long time to get out of it because i feel like my brain. It's like that is the shortcut to make sure that i'm okay is to put me in a state of panic and it's been like that my entire life so the idea that there is treatment or people are experimenting with psychedelics to give your brain other pathways besides the one that you keep going to. That might be hurtful to yourself whether it be through. Depression anxiety is really interesting to me and also makes a lot of sense. I agree for a long time. Westernized medicine has been very black and white. The hasn't been studied or written about and the new england journal of medicine or some huge publication. They wanted to stay away from it. We're going to stick to this sort of cookie cutter approach. But that doesn't work. Everyone is different. People have different experiences. People have different reactions to different events. As you mentioned there's certain individualized issues that need to be individually looked at examined explored and then tried with modalities that may be unconventional but may work for that individual person so i think medicine is moving more towards that. I think the generation that i've come from and the medical doctors that are coming through medical school at least when i was getting into medical school. We were preached that quite often that look if not the old nineteen sixty medicine anymore where you have an issue lobotomy. Or even issue. Let's just throw you away because you don't matter is really trying to focus on the patient and making sure that they are at the center of their management and then if we could try other modalities then let's do that because it could be effective man if we can help some veterans who have. Ptsd come back and feel safe and that they can contribute to society in a productive way so far it. i'd like to reach quote quote. Football is a man's game. It shouldn't be played until the age of puberty. You said that and you set it in one thousand nine hundred seventy four. How did you know have a sense about the threshold age to your mind. Some forty plus years ago. I played before puberty and got knocked on my acid stunned. Okay what advice would you give as a neurosurgeon and as a professional football player for parents whose kids want to play football knowing what you know now so the advice that i would give as football as alluded to earlier is an amazing team sport. I'm biased. i love the sport. My wife knows nothing about football. But i'm trying to get into it been married for about a year and a half from like georgia whereas football. It's really really huge house man. I tell her dad all the time and her mother like you didn't put your daughter around some football so she can get into it. But that's just my personal by. I think football's a great sport because it teaches you. These sort of intangibles develop these traits. That i think are easily transferable to you being a student a thinker. A leader a christian or whatever it is that you want to be working with people who are different than you working on a team to whereas one collective goal taking coaching. There's a generation. Now that if we get talked to people sometimes crumble instead of writing to the challenge to say you know what okay you wanna challenge me. I'm going to meet that. Challenge head on and i'm going to stand up in the face adversity and do well relying on your fundamentals on pressure comes being adjustable and flexible when kobe hit and my nurse surgery stopped and i had to be cova. Dr adjust and adapt my practice. So that i could help take care of these very sick patients in bossom so all of that works and what i would tell. Parents is think about that when you think about putting your child into football but also make sure that the fundamentals are being taught being emphasized that we're not doing the same old drill that we're doing we have one player lineup. Here another player on appear and they run headfirst and slam into each other. Almost like a macho sort of alpha male drill that really has no benefit to the actual game play but literally. It's just to say who's the biggest dog in the bunch that we're moving away from that we have to make sure the equipment is right. Make sure you have good proper helmets that fit. Well they sure you're wearing the mouthpieces. That are protective. Make sure that you're not playing the sport as tackle football player until you're in your early teens. Maybe eleven twelve years old. Maybe a pre. I will give them advice going forward because i think the game can be done safely but it has to be done in a very controlled and manage way last year. You advised that it was too early for the nfl to play in the pandemic and of course they went ahead and played anyway because a lot of money was at sake and they had a lot of infections. Do you think they should be playing this year. Biggest getting better now. Absolutely you're absolutely right. I was a staunch proponent of not playing last year college pro no less worry about this amick i and i think he was sending a message when you're the nfl or the ncwa or the nba. And you're the major organizations say. Let's focus on health of people who are very vulnerable who aren't multimillion dollar athletes. Because they're sitting from their homes or sitting in their communities and rural and suburban america and struggling with these issues and you could honestly have taken those funds that you had accumulated for your sports. Put your sport on to put into the communities to help with vaccine rollouts. Now they're happening or to help with other health issues. That could help the public health fight and push here. I do believe it was a mistake last year. Now it's getting a little bit better. Numbers are getting better. I'm looking at our hospital general. We don't have as many patients in boston with covert so we're moving more in a normal setting so i think it's reasonable to return now with certain restrictions and limitations whether it be the amount of people who can come whether it be and isolated pseudo bubble whether that means getting players vaccinated so they don't become spreaders and these events. I think he could do it now in.

Tell us how you went from the nfl to neurosurgery. Well first thanks for having me. This is a really awesome experience and obviously been at a meyer of yours for a while and having a chance to speak about. These things is cool. It really is. It's nice and for me the nfl and football. Been a part of my family for a while. My dad started the caribbean american. Football league and nassau bahamas so he was very much into football growing up and when we came to the states is passed that along to me and my brother my cousins played in the nfl and tro role some roles so we have a little bit of lineage. And i always wanted to play professional football. I mean ever. Since score my first touchdown as a young man making a tackle doing some major play on the field it gave me a sense of adrenaline rush excitement. That really was incomparable. To anything else that. I was doing especially in sports. So as i continue to matriculate through high school and college i realized that i was beating these players who are my opponents. And getting full scholarships getting high rankings. Went to florida state. University became an all american. There got drafted into the nfl which phenomenal but at the same time running this sort of athletic race my academic pursuits. A parents always made sure that i had another option to do once. Football was done because it's a transient sort of thing. As last for a long time you still need to have a valuable contribution. once it's over. They made me do book. Reports as a young person like literally fifth grade on kofi annan nelson mandela. Paul robeson wbz boy booker t. washington ben carson and carson stores stood out to me as a black pediatric neurosurgeon. Somebody who looked like me. Somebody didn't have a lot of money like me. Growing up parents with folks in education and separated the conjoined twins and logan. Both of them lived. I said man dion sanders is gonna be my athletic hero. And ben carson will be my academic hero in. So that's how the idea kind of started. And what attracted you to neurosurgery. Over other specialties. Are seeing somebody who looked like. That's why my dad put all these sort of black male figures in front of me because he said you know come from the bahamas and we want you to see in yourself. These outstanding leaders and these great thinkers who have done amazing things not just what sports but literally with other aspects of like nelson mandela. My dad used to have us read about him all the time and seeing carson story and then thinking reading about the brain out so intricate that you move an inch to the left or an inch to the right or an inch up or an inch down. You're controlling completely. Different function of the body and how much of the brain is unknown. And that there's a way for me potentially to make an impact in this field. I thought this is amazing. It seems complex. It seems cool mean my fingers controlled by a thought that i have. I mean that's phenomenal so all of these things together and then carson story being that role model and seeing myself in history like you said really pushed idea forward for me brings a big deal right now in the nfl. Can you talk us little bit. About c. t. e. and how it's affecting football players at all levels. Yeah it's actually incredibly failure. Because i do think about neurosurgery i from concussion standpoint or traumatic brain injury but as i continued to play and as the movie concussion came out with little smith and people started to speak about a lot more. I said man. Maybe i can do this discipline in the specialty that i love and then still have a foot in football and sports in general and maybe be a consultant or maybe advocacy or develop new helmets and technology that can protect players so it is true it is real traumatic brain. Injury is very evident. It's hard to imagine today about one hundred years ago. Boxing was one of the most popular sports in the us. More people went to some championship and could fit into any nfl stadium today but for boxing it was all downhill from there. There are a lot of reasons. Why but one of them is that a lot of people will see. The sport is barbaric because it causes brain damage beating a man ever come in the ring and use of getting hit in the head. Many boxers developed dementia depression as part of a disease called dementia feudalist aga- nowadays dementia has a new name. Ct and it's not just on in boxers but in increasing numbers of football players evening causing some people to question the future of the nfl. Not only in contact sports. Like what. I used to play but also in cheerleading throwing up young women or men in the air and they fall. They hit their head this concussions. It sounds walk it off. Or you just seeing stars okay. But we need to really think about the brain concussion. The traumatic brain injury like we think about broken bones sprained ankles or something like that. They are real issues. That matter it seems sort of nebulous. Because you're only going off symptoms what people have to give you but the effects long of the brain rattling on that hard surface on the skull the micro hemorrhages that you may have the synapses. That maybe disrupted all these things can affect your ability to think. Sleep your mood how that stable all these things. I'm working with a bunch of neurologists. I'm working with social psychologists working with physicists. multidisciplinary approach to figure out. How can we make these games safer. Because frankly i don't want to take away. The sports football gave me a lot. It gave me the intangible that made me a good physician. Now at least i hope communication hardware teamwork working with other people overcoming adversity. So i want these games to stay. But i certainly want to be safer for the younger generation.

"Bad at and i think the main lesson that i learned from that yaris this this power fuel for me anytime. I work on something that does not work for me. Repetitive use of a limited ability will always produce an increased capacity in math. Because there's a pattern in life that disruption always follows intention and most people when the disruption hits the follows intention. They assume that that means they're going in the wrong direction. But it's actually a sign that you're going the right direction. Let's say you start eating more healthy than you've been eating the first thing that happens. You're gonna worse before you feel better. It's called the healing prices. The sage start working out. You're gonna feel week before you feel stronger and it doesn't matter what you do. You become an entrepreneur. You're going to spend money and lose money before you start making because disruption always follows intention but you've got to be willing to be bad long enough to get good and stay in the activity and realize that everything that you're working on not working for you is working on you. You have to be willing to let it work on you until it works for you. And that's when the brats. Wow and you have to be patient. Patients is key when someone's on their journey. It's not gonna happen on our time. It's gonna happen when we're ready for it. I think john lee. And i'll probably butcher his quote but he says when the student is ready the master will show and we may think we're ready and be sitting here saying i'm ready. I'm ready i'm ready. I'm ready come. Show me show me show me but there's a reason why we're not getting shown yet because we're not actually ready yet were it's fascinating to me that people expect whatever new venture they're going into to be easy they want coming to an i know martyr sometimes to make found easier than they are. They wanted to be easy. And then they to find balance in life in. That's so fascinating humorous to me because balance is a season of life and easy is a season of life but also just like spring has the opposite season called fall and summer has the opposite season. Call winter the opposite season of easiest. Hard in our season of balance is focused. And if you.

"Almost quit two weeks before. It's not me to graduate while for college for a little while. But i was broke got financial withdrawn pretty much every semester and then just realized this is dengue. I'm not doing this anymore. I'm just wasting time wasting money. And so i did not get an undergraduate degree and i know people are wondering how can you be golden if you didn't get it. Undergrad degree which is a very valid question. But there's always more than one. Basically i focused on being good what i could be good at and basically forgetting about the rest of the two things that i am really really good at wong really good student and the two things that i love to study and practice more than anything else. I love to study the bible study business. And when i discovered business principles in the bible i was blown away signing i'm going to start sharing biblical principles of business with people and that's going to be my little corner of the world and you say bible instantly. Most people think religion. But i've been reading the bible seventeen. I'll be sixty this year. And one of the first things i discovered when i started reading the bible for myself was that it is not a book about religion. It's a book principles. And i started practicing those principles and the practicing of those principles gave me the ability to produce predictable outcomes. I love that. And i love what you did i loved. You took something that you were super passionate about and you cared about and you're inquisitive about and turn it into something that would impact and change a lot of lives in the process. Absolutely it was fascinating is so many people feel like they to fit into a particular mold so that they can attract everyone. But i like to say. And i'm sure you've heard this before. You probably say the same thing anything that's for everyone is also no right so they try to become the chameleon that appeals to everybody. And there's nobody who appeals to everybody and then a lot of times people are afraid. The bible's controversial. So i don't mention there may be people for whom the by controversial bible itself is not controversal. Neither controversy over not controversial. There are some people who like be controversial around that subject fascinates in our world. Today i heard somebody say this one time. Everybody's thinking the same thing. Somebody's not thinking.

"Sackful the jackass attacks lou mixed mixed that number which is just a. I mean it i. I mean i've listened to that song so many times but when i was listening to two on the stage and all the layers there says layers that song has so many components to it and all the things that came from just a musical tracks between what alex and bill and greg delivered on those components. There's just so many little things happening. And then you have you know five six layers of voices of our principles and then you have literally probably i think we had about one hundred tracks of background singers and that was the one thing about the This entire movie is the background ensemble. Performances are incredible. And there's everyone was delivered as an individual mostly everything was delivered as an individual component. So we had control of where these background vocals would happen. And the background vocals tell such a story themselves in what's going on in in all of these songs especially the opening and ninety six thousand so it was just like layers and layers and layers to try to be managed and controlled. You know to make some kind of sense out of both vocally and musically but at the same time it just makes it an incredibly intense performance an impressive performance by everybody involved. So if i could speak to that carolina do it. One other thing that i love what lou did was like you know. It's one thing when i'm like. Oh you know it'd be great. Is this part of the number. Let's go underwater but then it for him to like make it sound like we're going underwater but build at the same time like that's kind of a hat trick of like you know okay. Oh yeah okay jerky we've decided. Now you're going to go underwater. Jess's you're trying to build up the song and your compass both release. The great part of doing that was i mean. I think that's one of the only places in that entire performance where song kind of putting back a little bit the scene just kind of pulls back for like two seconds and then coming out of that moment is just tremendous you know from a visual point of view and from a sonic point of view. So it just builds this crescendo Which is just a lot of fun. It just plays and has a lot of fun and it creates perfect. You know moment of quiet before a burst. And it's also like sonny's ill sonny's great moment. He bursts out of his character. You know there's something to the all the layering of that song. That so incredible like starting to cut it. And once the once the vanessa and benny star. Overlapping each other. I literally had to isolate each each of those vocals to understand. Like when should i cut to like one was an important culture specific character. Because there's so much. Larry and overlapping that starts happening as the song builds and builds to basically include the community which i also tried to do a totally. And it's funny because i'm working with lynn now on his movie i said as glenn you it's got a lot of layers gallon later. It's so yeah it. Was you know when i hear that song. It's kind of like almost like a pop song where you don't realize what is going on until you start breaking it all down trying to make a make sense of it for a number like that. Does john give you a lot of material to work with. Yes we shot the footage. That day was. Yeah so you know just to put it in perspective. They shot that number over three days shooting the camera on many hours of those days. And i'm i have to boil it down to you know a musical number so there's a there's a lot of cameras going on. There's a lot of. There's a lot of sections. Where like benny crossing the pool. When he first enters. You know we're just holding on him but then you know there's cameras or cameras just finding things you know and shootings you know. The woman dreads dancing in the shower. Or or the little girl. Dancing with the You know top lock guys so there's certain sections the weather is like just you know the cameras holding on the salon ladies and were pulling back and letting the For the moment. I don't need a cut and then there's other times where like no i wanna go to Graffiti spray painting the numbers. Or i want to go to the you know the community you know saying ninety six thousand you know i yes. There was a lot that i had to sort of make sense of But you know a lot of the footage also just said okay. This is a structure. I know where i'm going now. How do i. How do i temper these things. How do i not you know. It's probably the most cutty of all the musical performances in our movie You know i was balancing between not getting to was always turned not to be too musically and just keep it grounded kid. You know number. We're storytellers were not making music videos. And we're you know. This number is a documentary at the telling a story. They're talking about like. Are they going to do with us money. If they want us you know if they have the winning lotto ticket like all that stuff was important. As i was just sifting through three days of material would the three of you also talk about the opening number the title song in the heights because you have to introduce a lot of characters in that number and then you had the big at the end and and this was filmed on location. I as i understand you had about a four block. Radius drew where they had the streets shut down for you got song as a mia says ten minutes. It's gotta be close to it more. I think it's actually longer. It's really really law. Just they just released the The opening and it's they say it's eight minutes but it is actually technically a little abridged. What what we released youtube. Yeah i think it's closer to maybe ten minutes over and it does and with a giant group of people taking over the street taken over several blocks up on a crane. But you know it. Also you introduced characters lovey individuals to his world and everyone in the in. The bodega comes and goes. And there's a lot of really intimate personal stuff but ends ends up encompassing the whole The whole world but it was once again. It took us a long time to shoot it. It was broken down a lot of pieces parts. In fact i took almost the entire shoot from the end and then we picked up more footage. I think maybe four or five minutes four or five months later for the community chorus so it was it know literally took me almost entire production and post process to shoot them number What i love about that number.

"Renewed. You want to describe editing that scene. You know it's it's i think that's probably the most emotional set-piece entire movie and It was from the gecko. It was always. It was always going to be focusing on oguz performance. And she was going to you know whatever she was doing was going to dictate. You know how is cutting that scene. Because first of all i do that in general just trying to you know let performance sort of guide my way that it's sort of like my beacon but also you know not to. It's probably the most theatrical piece as well and the entire movie so we're literally moving through. I call it like dioramas. Almost like now where she sort of floating through these frozen memories and so between her performance in just whatever captures just the essence of these memories in getting in the way that in fact. That's sort of been my mantra through the time. We don't get away the car graffiti. Don't get the way the performance you know. Don't don't overcut. the choreography. There was very amazing was very Elaborate and interesting in several different styles of choreography. It was as we move through the different decades of her life. You know you know. Just her telling the story you know. I was trying my best to just heightened things with whether it's the dancers in slamming on the side of the window or maybe you know cutting to a to a dancer who is Mimicking birds in the plaza. They're just trying to Heighten olga was doing a funny enough. That scene was. It's all about context and for me. Generally when making a film and that scene was supposed to be much earlier in the movie and one point that scene was close to being one of the scenes may be cut out of the movie because of that and of course it would. That was never going to happen but we were really struggling about like how to make that scene work. Were that worship musical number. It was written to be like another intro to our characters. Like how are other matriarchs. Were in the film but it felt like to save the best for last as an michael put a spoiler in her bad as something really dramatic was happening. You know made it this really intense magical bomba parable myron in general. Do you wanna talk about just shaping the performances of the characters because you had a big ensemble cast and then you go in and out of the musical numbers. So how did you address the performances and allow the audience to get to know these characters. Somebody else me like you know. Did you do anything differently with this cast that you would do with integrale. The answer is no like there. Every single character arison actor was speaking their own truth the day on the set. You know when you know when there have been shot and my you know my role was to just find the best little colonels. These little gold gems that kept popping up in craft the performance based on that and of course the biggest issue was that we had so many characters to be honest with you. And and so. There's a temptation to really cut this. Come down in fact. We really try to do that. You know we tried to thirty minute. Version that was shorter and we actually tested that version and it didn't appeal to audience any more than the long version. So and in fact it felt like a of fuller experience so we really felt like the ensemble of all these characters really was part of the whole gestalt of this thing. It was about community. It's not about it's not. it's not about nelson. Not dina or benny. So once i got to know a character like all their other wonderful you know nuanced things that they did not represent who they were playing. You know i would just embrace it. You know whether it was you know you snobby in chiming ways. And when he broke the fourth wall and when like weight of the audience you know versus like nina with vulnerability to really like leaning into that and her frustration about trying to do the right thing here. You know our vanessa. Who is you know. Everyone looks at the pretty girl but now she has dreams too you know and all guys a psych this powerhouse who she represents a history of the show as well. So yeah you know. She's like every person's grandmother ever and so you know it's it's all about just like crafting their truth and doing away. That feels like grounded and real and sometimes we can go a little broader with a you know. Obviously we're going into magical realism and pirates sped on my job as always just keep it real keep it moving realize all the domino pieces all the characters were holding each other up as a community and try to not find any chiefs in the armor. Another number i'd love to talk about is the ninety six thousand which was the one that was shot at the large pool through. Tell us about recording that. Your fellow that began with a very long tracking shots. A steady cam shot. That goes like for three blocks a couple of blocks. It was very hard for us to do. In terms of the throw the microphones because the guys were all miked and that that wrap was done live it opens it and then by the time we get into the pool There is a huge one extras in. It was unfortunately that day was not as hot as it had been weirdly. That was that was where we wanted it to be super hot so there are people. Were a little chilly. But we played a lot of music really loud that so there was a place where we opted to play the playback big on speakers for everyone. Because you couldn't they dance to it any outages help. Pump up the crowd in a big way in a lot of places in the streets of new york. They try to dissuade you from playing playback allowed. I think there were a couple times incidents where people were shooting scenes. That kept everyone up all night with loud music and the people complaint so they try to have us not do it as much as you know used to a but there because we were all within the high pool a hybrid complex we could really crank the tunes. It was great and it helped create. The mood and the mood was amazing. That was fantastic. There all these people they did a great job of casting background people to really make more than just our first of all everyone comes together the cast but also the hokey. There's lots of people of different ages. Had that little girl. Dancing was just incredible. Who became like. She's in the trailer. She's says a symbol of the whole thing and she was just an extra who was just an incredible dancer in that moment so with a lot of that stuff was caught but it was hard as a lot of stuff to do. We didn't have that much time to do it. The gut started to get dark rainstorm. At one point we had like you know run for.

"Thanks for joining us. Blue i hello so let's get started in the heights was filmed on location in washington heights as well as on stage in new york lou. One and you start the conversation by describing how you work together with. Everyone on the team with myron who's cutting room was also in new york as well as with john shoe got involved pretty early on and started watching. I think it was mayans idea the start watching the cut very very early and it's really long form and myron had a his cutting room very far from where my sound facilities and mar myron really had an a wonderful sound setup in his cutting room five point one so i was able to actually watch some of the very early versions of the film as meyer is really kind of prepping an out sound wise with the full music and voice all so pretty early. I started seeing where the film was going. And where myron and john. Which starting to take and i think we did that. Quite a bit Even before i started physically working on the film i would get a call going like the boys would like you to see the film again so go back to the cutting room and actually every other day at thank you. It was it. Was you know it was. And it's funny because i remember things. I remember scenes and stuff very early on the film. And i watch it now in. Its its final form and things flash at me. It's like oh. I remember when you know But i think as as a a film goes. And i've worked on quite a few. I've seen this one more top to bottom than any film i've ever worked on which the funny thing is is. I've never lost sight of the film and it's i. I've enjoyed it every single time that i've seen it from top to bottom but it really gave me a very good working vocabulary of myron john. We're doing every single day. You know and how they were structuring film myron. You're nodding to add to that. Yeah it was really important to create that on the dialogue right away. Because you know john and i really wanted the film to feel grounded and sound not just the music but the the facs fully you know the way we were mixing the vocals white dialogue was gonna be really difficult and to get on the same page early on really made a huge difference in you know he. He mentioned five one and for anybody who's listening. It's it's basically. I have five speakers in my room so have three upfront and then tune the back and it really allows me to approximate what it sounds like in a movie theater and so i was able to depth into my cutting room on the way you would hear it. A a in a In the theater. And so i. Could you know louis so patient with me. It was like you know like me a kid in a candy store. You know said look what i did is like yeah. Yeah you put it in a room and but it was. It was really important that like i think. Myron mentioned about the relationship between the dialogue and the singing in this film. And you know the singing in this film. Aren't you songs. They're actually dialogue of story. That's going on that vital. You know you can't just cut a song down and make it shorter because you'd lose very important story points so myron was getting a really good handle on how the vocals even the early vocals were gonna fit with the quote unquote parts. So you know that concept how they were going to work together and how they were going to go in and out of each other was being you know thought about and worked on very early on the cutting room. So let's talk about the songs true one or you get started on. Some of the songs were recorded live during production. Others were recorded separately. Tell us about recording music. Well all the songs were recorded live at some level. We almost everyone. We had No the backing tracks were prerecorded but the vocals we have the ability to record live and we set up with that in mind that there would be a portion of it would play live and a lot of the songs because of How the written aren't purely just songs. They have breaks in the middle where they go back to talking. Or there's some wrap the where you really needed to be. Have that that the feeling of being live. That stuff's harder to do. Play back Wrapping it just feels much better when it's live recording. And so you could enter spurs live end and the precourt so we were set up to do that all the time and often we would start doing one way and then segue to the other like we would begin with a full playback and then once they felt john felt like really in the groove Go live now and looks to live versions than we were finish with all live versions and ended up in the final film. It's a hybrid. Almost as louis saying almost every song has got an element of live recording in it. Where they're you know. Sometimes it's a big piece. Sometimes some of the began fully. Acapella live or that like the openings of i don't know it kind of a lavar starts live and then it takes it transforms into being giant Carnival yeah but even carnival which was really one of my favorite songs in the film That never stays in one direction or the other. You know it starts out with very live singing and goes into some recordings and then kind of goes back into some of trews production again and then goes back into some studio recordings so it was really about the pieces that had the best energy and and you know you have some numbers like when you're home you know which is any need at the park which is a such as her cappella and beautifully done and john was even you know hesitant about when he should even put in the backing tracks you know. Maybe we maybe we should wait halfway through the song the first time the very first time we did her seeing i built because we think they gave her some fish gave her an earwigging and you know and he played live keyboard in her ear to give her some thing to go with to begin the first time we did it or she sang live rehearsals fine when she racing live. We all got goosebumps. It was just chills. She was voice was so beautiful and say john was just giddy. He was so happy. I team has. She was a professional singer. But she's more of a pop star and she's a great great bob star but she to see her handle that the way she did. It have realized the quality. The beauty of her voice was really a stunning for us all and he wanted to get wanting to more and more he was like all average discussing all the way through which we did. But you know there's there's a lot of other stuff that goes on there..

Tennessee Issues Statement on Termination of Nine Employees and Jeremy Pruitt
"Tarrant tennessee. No parting of the ways. No resignation fired. Jeremy pruitt after an internal investigation the chancellor of the university chancellor plowman earlier today the personnel actions. We are announcing. Today are an indication of the gravity of what we've discovered today. Athletic director fomer and i issued termination letters to the following assistant. Football coaches brian. Nita meyer and shelton felt also four members of our on campus football recruiting staff additionally our director and assistant director of football player personnel and finally a football analyst quality control coach. So what are what are Council has told us is it. We're looking at level one and level two violations. I don't know yet yet. Exactly how many or exactly the specifics of it the chancellor earlier today and we have the live coverage here blake top. Mayer has covered the story from the beginning and he joins us early evening from knoxville blake. Good evening thanks for being with us and before we get to specific just describe. What this day has been like in knoxville. Well obviously the big news that we've been waiting for call for a probably at least a month now and in the the question for at least the lack last week or more has been. Is jeremy Going to get outright fired for cause or is he going to get fired with a settlement for reduced by out. I mean i. It felt like inevitable that a coaching change was coming. And we've got the answer today. That pruitt's being fired for cause. Tennessee does not intend to pay him. One cent of his twelve point six million dollar buyout also included in the four. 'cause firings Were systems. Brian eater myron shelton felton in the termination letter to jeremy pruitt tennessee chancellor plowman outlined six four. 'cause provision of jeremy pruitt's contract University believe he violated and of course all stems to be ongoing investigation into sweeping recruiting if violations That have occurred or are believed to have occurred within tennessee's program during pruitt's watch like so many things unpack the chancellor said. She threw her own program under the bus. And i understand the tendency to pile on but having covered many of these before as you have. That was really unprecedented address. That if you don't mind it's obvious that the chancellor is frustrated beyond frustrated with the the amount of malfeasance that i think she sees within the football program. I mean these. I think it's fair to call these sweeping violations. And what she believes they're going to be major violations. stemming from the football program She she mentioned that she was stunned. By both the number of interactions and the number of people involved in the infractions. And so you know. It doesn't leave tennessee in a great position to come out on the other side of this and say you know hey. Nca take it on us there. There really wasn't that much bad going on here. You know you've seen a lot of athletic departments kind. Play that card with the ncaa play hardball with the ncaa and say that they weren't breaking rules. I think tennessee is is quite clearly taking me approach of Of admitting its its mistakes. upfront here Firing the people that believes are responsible for the mistakes and then going forward is going to have to pivot and try to likely self imposed penalties and hope that that can fend off Some of the harshest punishment from from the ncaa but it does leave it in a difficult scenario here as it goes forward not only with the ncaa but as it tries to hire and athletic director and it tries to attract a football coach.

I'm sierra and my current location. Freetown sierra leone and the name of my business or businesses is yes men tells. I'll go into the other ones we into the conversation. So tell us about where you got your for travel. So i think it's because a young age excess traveling. Luckily that was introduced to us by my mother. My first Was to texas to see family melba. I remember i was young but my fetch trip to sierra fan. I was a is old. And then i came consecutively from the age of a safe full team. Yeah age of fourteen to twenty around. That spina came every year and my love for i think came. When i didn't intend ship in dakar senegal. I was just blown away by not only the way of living the and the rich list of the country but i was just getting a lot inspiration volt while i have options as other things in places i can go to your grandma's actually from the gambia right next door. As she is like our most gambian. I went to visit her in two thousand eighteen but she spent a life aaron in return saturday. So are your parents then. Both from sierra leone or where. You're also born yeah. Sierra in is my country of origin surf my parents from sierra. Dan how they met in the uk. Yeah i decided to come back in two thousand eighteen i. It's funny how they come back. Because i'm not born him at school. I was never never originally it. But here's here's the place that feels like home to me so let's karbi y subconsciously. Say back when it's not bad. I just relocated to just. Is that like a. I dunno part of your reckoning your identity because you come from people who are from there and you were raised somewhere else so culturally. How do you identify how identified successful supplements the oscar. Why you from. I would say sierra in those the same when i was in the uk working from upstate. Sierra i wouldn't necessarily say the a just because i think they're insinuates in july. Make that a. We'd like worry really from you. Know the expression when people ask you like. Oh where he really from semester say sierra in a without a doubt i identify more with being sierra than i do in british. If you think about it is wall. I've been introduced to fuss regardless of location. Where i'm situated bus was my household that was the culture of these amounts of languages. Hearing prio so yeah i definitely identified strong with being a sierra again. What has been like being back so it's been like two years now. Craig via the suspension will make it to years. It's been interesting. It's been a challenge but Unexpected challenge expects be easy. It's been either regret by me. I think it was timely. And a good thing. I did i also have a family business.

ESPN Daily
College Basketballs Uncertain Return to the Court
"Myron medcalf has been covering college basketball for espn for nearly a decade. So my excitement. I should admit comes from a place of utter ignorance because after eight months of this pandemic after a cancellation of march madness. I have literally no idea myron what to expect from college basketball. At all this season in terms of the virus in terms of what's happening on the floor. All i really know right now. Is that both duke. And arizona announced yesterday that they are postponing their opening games. Because of covid and tennessee's rick. Barnes got diagnosed with corona virus. So let's just begin with tip off tomorrow. What's this all going to look like. Why i think that's the million dollar question college basketball a lot like college football. Most of the games are scheduled to be played obviously cove. It was a challenge for college football. I think for college basketball. That'd be magnified by about ten because you have more than three hundred team that are going to try to kick this season off. So i think everybody's just crossing their fingers and hoping for the best and not knowing what the head is on the theme of the three hundred teams. All kind of spinning. This roulette wheel is a lot to process. What are the protocols. Like the health protocols teams employers going to try to abide by this season. I think that's another important question and it's difficult to answer in that. There are so many different protocols by state by county depending on what's conference iran. I mean you're talking to thirty two different conferences. I'll give you an example. The american athletic conference. They're going to test three days per week during the season can't do a consecutive days. That's what ended up like guidelines. Recommend however at temple abide by the city of philadelphia's protocols which say they have to test seven days before competition every single day so you have even within conferences different rules and regulations. I've talked to athletic directors and california who are telling me that they still have to submit plans to their local authorities to get approval to compete this season. Forget host the team. Forget any of the other details just to be able to get back on the floor so you got see a lot of chaos unfold in the coming months so you are very clearly a healthcare reporter on top of being a college basketball reporter so myron explained to me what is happening in these. Pseudo bubbles where regular season games are gonna take place. One of them is an eleven day. Event starts tomorrow called bubble ville. Which has real dr seuss fives from what i can tell. What exactly is bubble ville. Well we're gonna find out but it's basically a bunch of teams all in one side of the megan sun in connecticut. Where the idea is you have everybody. At one location. There will be testing measures. Extreme testing measures with the goal being the kind of emulate. What you saw with the nba bobble on a on a somewhat smaller scale. They don't have the two hundred million dollars that the nba spent. Two resources are different. But i think their attempt is to mimic that. And when you're there there will be security in these hotels making sure that people are following protocols and then there will be specific places that you can and can't go. The challenge is going to be. Can you do that for dozens and dozens of teams and make sure that everybody's following the rules we saw the nba and the resources they put into that. It's a different different level. I think with college basketball in an attempt to pull this off for the next couple of weeks there are certainly some challenges attached to that. And there's already issues at bubble ville right. I mean the news baylor and some other schools have already pulled out of this tournament. Florida kobe issues. They pull out Baylor scott drew head coach. Their test positive announces that yesterday they pull out and then arizona state which was scheduled to play. Baylor in bubble veal. Says you know what we're not comfortable so you already have teams that have been moving things around an idea that i think we'll see throughout the season. How can you play college basketball with three hundred plus teams unless there is some sort of pseudo bubble environment

How Does Captain America's Shield Work?
"The official marvel comics database says that Captain America's shield is a metal disc that's approximately two point five feet in diameter and weighs twelve pounds. But Rhett Lane at wired magazine did some math and figured out that it would be more likely to weigh forty three point nine pounds despite the shield being made of a unique alloy combining vibrant. NEOM, which is. A fictional metal steel in an unknown third component. Elaine also figured out that the density of the shield would be somewhere between eight, thousand, seven, hundred, sixty, seven, and four, thousand, three, hundred, eighty, three kilograms per meter cubed. That is somewhere between the density of iron and titanium. Now in the Captain America Comics Story goes that Dr. Myron McLean was attempting to replicate Hercules Golden Mace fusing. Vibrant NEOM with an experimental iron alloy some say it was a steel alloy but even McLean didn't know what it was because he fell asleep when an unknown catalyst was introduced to the process he was never able to duplicate the process. So the government painted the disk and gave it to Captain America. But how would you forge such a thing? Especially since metallurgy is so complicated just The forging temperature alone depends on the materials carbon content. It's alloy composition maximum plasticity in the amount of reduction required. Was it heated by induction or by continuous fuel fired furnaces with material this unique you'd have to carefully control the heating process. Now, Ford ability is how easy or difficult material resists de formation and since Captain America's shield is indestructible, it would have to be a very Narrow forging temperature range meaning it could only be forged for a short time after heating with metallurgical factors like crystal structure chemical composition in grain-size at play the only way McLean could have diminished their influence would-be by adding alloying wants possibly compounds that easily dissolved with the metal. There are all types of elements that could have been introduced, but it's likely the captain America's shield was forged. Like a super alloy, this is how metallurgist refer to iron base nickel base in cobalt based alloys. Specifically, the ones that offer very high strength at high temperatures. These really high strength metals and iron based grades are the least difficult wants to work with. So that would narrow down Mcclain's experimental alloy to iron super-alloys are really difficult to forge because of their narrow temperature range you can't. Even use regular sizing presses in hammers on them because they will deform. They even wear down the tools designed for forging them pretty easily. They're also extremely expensive like ten times. The price of carbon steel sounds a lot like captain America's shield right. But how do we explain the shields ability to absorb kinetic energy supposedly from the vibe rhenium in the alloy usually materials absorb kinetic energy. Through other mechanisms like plastic or elastic deformation or dynamic fluid flow but cap shield doesn't seem to be an elastic metric material and it's not organic like polyurethane in the movies it actually seems to reflect vibration rather than absorb it like when thor hits with Mueller in that first avengers movie and the shockwave flattens a whole forest. Perhaps that was because the shield reached its absorption limit. Another thing that's tough to explain his how aerodynamic the shield is. If it really weighed forty three point, nine pounds, it would be difficult to throw even for a guy in peak physical condition like Steve Rogers the comics Tony Stark actually puts electromagnet under the shield to help control it in mid flight but captain America later ditched them because they upset the shields natural balance it seems like the soldier and the shield are made for each other.
