"Sort of tough to say, I don't know quite who's on the market, like, would you, I don't think that this is a D'angelo Russell team. Oh, God, no. I don't think, I mean, I don't know if Toronto is looking to trade for advanced fleet. That's a name I had. That's the name I had on my list and let me be clear. I have no idea what Toronto's gonna do. I was hammering the over on Toronto. I think Toronto is good. They don't have any other proven point guards on their team unless you count their point forwards, which maybe you do, but he is extension eligible, hasn't gotten an extension. It's only natural and if the wizards haven't brought that up in an internal spitballing session, I would be surprised. Yeah. And by the way, I don't think Morris has played particularly well this year. So even as a stopgap, that hasn't really worked. Now, maybe this Jordan gooden kid can come in. Oh, I like him. He's good. And delon Wright was playing quite well before he got injured. I am like, I don't know, something about the lawn right. There's something like, why doesn't why don't these teams keep him? You never know. Because he just doesn't shoot enough. He's not a good shooter, but he can make corner threes. I just, I liked I have a sweet spot for delon Wright. I always will. If I were a GM, I would definitely overpaid delon Wright to be my backup point guard and just super excited about it. Me too. I mean, imagine if Atlanta had him instead Aaron holiday this year. You know, that would probably help them out a lot. But yeah, so they might be able to get away with not upgrading the point guard position. Oh, for sure they could. For sure they could. To me, the bigger problem is the data gaffer thing just ain't working, man. And you look at to your point. You look at their cap sheet, summer 2024 could be their summer, depending on what happens with hachimura and abdia, and how porzingis they could have some room, tons of room, a little bit less room than you'd hope, because that gaffer deal is sitting there. It's a big contract. It's like 14 a year after this year. They get a little overzealous when you have a few good games. And it's like, wow, we got this bargain let's lock them up. It is not worked. He just can't grab a rebound. He's out of position all the time. He's just not that reliable. Frankly, I can't blame Wesson so for playing Taj Gibson over him, which he's done a couple times. And to me, with porzingis and his health history, along with sort of, I think, the need to have some semblance of a second unit, that spot is a problem. So can they get the one guy I keep thinking about? Which is not a point guard, but then it seems a little over. Duplicate it, but I think it might actually help them a lot as someone like a John Collins who could play a backup 5 who I think would be an interesting fit with porzingis. This is going to be the year. Someone is going to rescue John Collins who is like just regularly the best player going three or four from the field in 32 minutes on a team right now. Someone is going to trade for him. I haven't heard Washington as that team yet. But I haven't either. That's a good name though. That's a good name. That's just like lots of teams should be kind of making a little calls on John Collins. I agree. But yeah, someone like who could be a bigger for but can play some 5, just someone who could prevent Daniel gaffer having to play. And it's just tough because of that contractor looks really bad, but to me that's a problem spot because porzingis has played in 16 to 17 games. First of all, you can't count on that. Second of all, I think you need a different look. Like the idea of Daniel gafford is very valuable, but it just is not working. He has made no strides. I don't know. I think there's some questions about his preparation level. It seems like he's making the same mistakes over and over again. He's kind of a disaster in the short role. He's not great even if you kind of get him right at the rim and he's contesting shots. It's great, but anything else is a problem. You can't defend some rebound. I think that spot has been a major problem for their second unit. That and will Barton's game just totally slow down the cliff. Honestly, that trait is not worked out well for them so far. And I like to I liked it for the nuggets immediately. I didn't understand why there was any controversy about it from the nuggets perspective. I thought it was a clear home run for them, not home run, but like double off the wall. Mike Conley do anything for you? We'll see if he gets healthy. Emmanuel quickly? Now that one's an interesting one too. Although aren't the Knicks kind of looking for a pick as opposed to a player. That's what I mean by sort of not quite pick a lane, but put the turn signal on a little bit to see what lane you want to go in. I know they have like no guards now, but like if they can, if they get full. Yeah, maybe they'll just go all in on guards. Who needs guards? Maybe that could be their new slogan. Like point ball bowl. Just go all in on point bubble. There was a part of me that was wondering, should the wizards trade their lottery pick for someone like a coal Anthony or a quickly draft? No, no. But like last year, I mean. Oh, okay. It's an interesting discussion because you want to say no because it just feels like this same wizards just like tiny, incremental move, but at least it's for a younger player. I'll tell you this before we go. There are definitely watching Brooklyn and hoping for the implosion and not for Kyrie Irving. I think I know who you're talking about. Were the other guy who's from the area. Unfortunately, I don't know. We're really going to do this again. I don't know that they have the assets to get it done with that pick already hanging out the door, going to the Knicks and what we said about their prospects, but they like everyone else in the league. Is just just keeping an eye on it. That's all. 'cause I can't believe they're going to try to do that again. Well, I don't know if they're going to, but I mean, I would, wouldn't you? I would ask. I would ask, you don't think don't get don't give up. Okay, just go back to being hopeless. The wizards are a nice team. They play competent basketball. They're not the most exciting watch in the league. They need to keep these pink jerseys forever and ever and ever they're amazing. They are nice. And I'm not, by the way, I'm not a New Jersey fan, and I like that. I don't like them. I don't like that we have too many of them. And I like them. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, shoot, if you ask me, just they should be tanking for Vic, but you know, that's not gonna happen. I was gonna bring that up earlier. I don't know many wizards fans. I don't think anybody outside of like a 20 mile vicinity of whatever the Verizon center is called. What is it called now?

"He's in trade rumors for Phoenix, season trade rumors for all these other teams. I don't know why he loves D.C.. He's kind of got D.C. loves him. He gets a little bit more of a platform to do some of the stuff beyond the grit stuff, like that he did in LA, like he's developed really nicely as a playmaker. He's improved as a defensive rebounder. His shot looks kind of up and down and streaky, but it looks good. He's got this platform today. He's not going to have anywhere else. And I think he really enjoys it. He's got his title, the city likes and looking down the road ten, 15 years from now, why isn't Kuzma going to be looked at like, was this feels like a Quran butler? A lot of similar arcs and I don't think Biel is as magma magnetic as gill. And I think porzingis is maybe a different beast than Jameson, but I do think that there is a sense that this is a franchise that has no players to call their own. Throughout their history, it's not just that they're bad, it's that they were bad with guys over the hill for many years and guys, not that they didn't draft and those Chris Webber teams to have like one playoff appearance are still beloved in D.C.. So just to have guys that we can say are ours. I think that was one of the reasons why I deal hasn't been traded yet. I'll never forget being in Staples Center, whatever year it was they won the, what are they in the southeast division? I think it was a 2017, 2018, the year they lost to Boston in the 2017 2017 year. And I think they ended up winning 49 games. It was not an emphatic division win. And they, I almost expected champagne. Like they went insane in the locker room, important water all over each other, jumping around, and I barely even remember who's in what division and what the divisions are called, and sunk in like, this is how bad it's been. That's the most wins they've had since 1979. And they've won, I think one playoff series since then, is that correct? More than 2002 1005. Oh yeah, they beat the bulls and they beat the tibs bulls and then they won they won the first round. That's the same year they faced the hawks in the second round and lost in 6 years. So they went for a playoff series since then. Four playoff series. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, no, I mean, I don't know if this is sort of a small time thing or whatever, but there is sort of, I think, just value and kind of having guys that at least the organization sees it. Guys, we can call our own, we're not going to win the title, blah, blah, blah. For me, like, I don't know, for me, at least I've been able to set aside the Malaysia where they're going. Because I enjoy watching porzingis, I like watching Kuzma. I like how B, I think is kind of folded himself back into the team. A little bit more, his usage rate is down. He's defending more. His scoring is down and they have this weird thing where he's been out and they play well with that and because they just sort of plug cord kiss burden and they were fine. But I like seeing him kind of be a part of something in a way where maybe in the last couple of years he kind of was above the team because he was so much better than everyone. And I like to see this competence. I enjoy watching Danny play. I know is offensive a little bit. What it is, but I think you pair it with presenting user kind of takes away some of his weaknesses. I think you'll like how we kind of push the tempo. I'd like to see him develop. I don't think this is going to result in a whole lot of super exciting long-term. I think there's still playing team at best, but it's been I've been able to separate the front office thing from the encore product a little more than I haven't passed years. It was very hard in 2018 when that team was falling apart. 2019 or even last year as a team is falling apart. And maybe the fall will come again here. But their storyline is really good. Really good. It works. That's a great foundation. If they can just maybe get what Daniel gaffer to grab one defensive rebound, then maybe they'll be okay. Yeah, 5 38 has them projected at 37 wins, basketball reference has them right around 500. So although both those places see some slippage coming, they don't see dramatic slips come. That's a play in team. Kuzma, let's talk about some of the players quickly. Kuzma, if I had to guess what's going on with Kuzma, I would say it's his player option for next year and his extension eligibility now. Kind of forcing the wizards to ask themselves now I don't know if Kyle would even take the 120% extension, which is, you know, do the math. It starts at probably 16, 17, 18 or something like that. I guess he wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't if I were him given the way he's played. So maybe it's a nonstarter. I think that's what's happening there. And I would keep an eye on him at the deadline as we approach the deadline. You mentioned kiss burr and Denny, who's only 21 years old and I love him as a defender and kind of a ball mover on offense. Everything else is,

"The remaining really good basketball out of patty mills in the first half of last season when he was playing like 30 minutes a game and playing extraordinarily well and looking like they had absolutely made the right decision to use their mid level exception on him instead of Jeff Green to use that salary slot on him instead of Bruce Brown on whom they had bird rights and just like inexplicably showed limited interest in resigning. He's exactly what they need. He's exactly what the nuggets need to have the health nuggets lost to the pistons at home last night. I will never know, but still, it's just too small. And your solution, the biggest hovering question of this team was, okay, if that proves to be too small, can we play Simmons and claxton? Two non shooters together. To fortify our defense to fortify our rebounding. So far, the answer has been no, although they tried starting it last night, and I don't mind Jacques von saying, what the hell, let's see, let's see. If this is going to have to be something we're going to do, we got to see if we can do it. Simmons and claxton have played a 122 minutes so far. 105 offensive rating that's really bad. 115 defensive rating. That's really bad. That's minus ten by my math per 100 possessions. That's really bad. -35 points total in those 122 minutes. That's really bad. 62% defensive rebounding. In other words, opponents with those two guys on the floor are getting 38% of their own misses. Almost 40%. It's untenable. You can't win like that. And so the Simmons clacks to lineups are hurting your offense like you'd expect and not helping your defense or your rebounding like you'd expect or hope. In fact, it's even worse when they're on the floor, and if that's the case, this team has a championship contender, is pretty much dead on arrival. And again, I don't mind them figuring out if that lineup can work. It's only been a 122 minutes. And when you play two non shooters next to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and one other a plus plus plus shooter, you have leeway to get around the shooting limitations of those guys. You can stick both of them in the dunker spots clogging up the lane Kevin Durant doesn't carry 7 feet tall. Kyrie Irving doesn't care, he can shake anybody any time. They're gonna survive in some stretches, offensively, just because of the star power, I was skeptical of the beginning of the season that it's really offensively workable against the best defenses and I'm still skeptical now. But look, like I said, even in a disaster loss last night, to an undermanned but feisty team, you could see the outlines of what this team thought it could be, at least offensively, an unguardable shooting machine that is going to have to outscore you because of its defensive limitations and it's just horrendous rebounding limitations. We'll see. It's early, it's early. There are 8 and ten Joe Harris is barely getting healthy and Seth curry's barely getting healthy again. Kyrie Irving just got back from his suspension. There's a lot of stuff Utah wants an abiy is now a big part of this team. He just became a big part of this team and he was out again last night. They do they should spend Simmons after back surgery in a year plus away from basketball is just finding himself again. He's not all the way there. Let's not get over exuberant, not all the way there. But there is a world in which this team in the next month clicks. It just, it's hard to see the clicking, the upside getting to where they thought the upside would be, but let's see. And I'll end by just saying this. It might just be now or never for the nets. After all of this, these absences draw this drama after all this nonsense after trade requests and coach firings and coach firings requests and GMs firings requests, and all of that, this is the team now. The team is here. Kyrie's here, Harris is here at curry's year, Simmons is somewhat here getting more here every day. Here are your next, I don't know how many games. Let's just read their next games. At Toronto. At Indiana, home against the blazers, home against the magic, home against the wizards, home against Toronto again. That's 6 games in a row against teams that the nets either thought were definitely better than them or at worst there are peers. Like on our worst day, we're peers with Toronto on a B plus day for them. Then home against Boston, that's tough. Okay, scratch boss, and let's assume they lose. After that, home against the hornets, home against Atlanta, at Indiana, at Washington, at Toronto at Detroit. I don't know how many games I just read, like 15 games, 13 games. Then it gets tough Golden State, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Atlanta. Like, this is it. This is a stretch right now. All those games I mentioned, the nets before the season when we kind of assumed they'll be this very talented team on paper, the dunder mifflin nets, they'd be favorites in a lot of those games other than the Boston game. Now is the time to show that you're a team that is going to become something. Now is the time to show that you may have an upside here that's graspable and it also might be now or never because if you get through that stretch at 500 and you're still a couple games under one game over whatever, every day this team goes by without hitting its upside upside is a day closer to the Durant drama potentially exploding again. The whole league is obviously waiting to see if that happens and at some point you just have to be the team. At some point you just have to become the team and last night was a demoralizing loss. On that journey, but the journey continues and I just read you those games, it's now or never for the Brooklyn Nets and maybe now we're never anyway. And with that, let's transition into everyone's favorite everyone's favorite most exciting team to talk about the Washington Wizards. On our right, the other guard who inked a gigantic long-term extension. This one complete with a no trade closet. I didn't even know they made those anymore. It's an antique. The Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal, no one's talking. About the ten and 7 Washington Wizards. Oh my God. Ten and 7, they got pink jerseys, they got blossoms on the court. They're winning games. Why is nobody talking about them? I think I have a pretty good idea why no one's talking about them. And frankly, I don't even want to talk about them that much. I don't even like watching them that much, but they are ten and 7 is the roof about the cave in. Mike Prada from the athletic and the author of this book, look, we can do it on YouTube now.

"I just wanted to briefly hit on what was one of the more anticipated games of the year Ben Simmons return with the Brooklyn Nets to Philadelphia, which turned out to be a total dud for the nets. For the fans who were kind of booing, but it wasn't like the scene that we expected. And I think, frankly, it's a scene that's befitting of what has happened to Ben Simmons, the player, since leaving Philadelphia, they fans just said, eh, he's worth some vitriol, but not that much of a trail. We got James Harden, who's injured along with tyrese maxi and Joel embiid and somehow we still won the game because people all Paul was amazing and Tobias Harris played some bully ball and Sheik Milton and de Anthony Melton, the mountain Milton Milton Melton backcourt made a bunch of jump shots. That will give him some vitriol, but that's all. Ben played fine fourth straight good game. Not sure I would do the MJ shrug after making two free throws, but I've never been in that kind of atmosphere. You want a shrug shrug. Played well. The rest of the team did not play very well. And again, they lost somehow on the road to Philadelphia without all of those aforementioned sixers, their three best players. That said, and I can't believe I'm saying this. You are starting to finally see the team that the nets kind of envisioned when they at metaphorical gunpoint made this trade for Ben Simmons. They have so much shooting on the floor when they put Simmons at the 5. And you could see it last night, he screens, he rolls, and you just got like Seth curry in one quarter. Joe Harrison, another corner, Durant, up top, O'Neill up top, and you're like, oh my God, what are we supposed to do? We have to help from somewhere because he's gonna dunk, Ben can still dunk, gotta help from somewhere, and the nets got an absolute crap ton of wide open threes. They miss most of them. They were 9 of 32 on the I'm sorry, 9 of 28 on threes, 32%. In terms of shot quality, if you look at the tracking data from our buddies at second spectrum, the nets had a much higher shock quality than Philadelphia, they just missed a lot of shots. It wasn't totally a make or miss game is we're gonna talk about, but you could see the vision kairi's even cutting again, getting moving off the ball. He had a beautiful back door cut against Memphis the other day. You want to not be who's playing out of his mind and didn't play last night, fed him. And that's how Kyrie was playing. In the brief time they had Hardin, Durant, and Kyrie was moving off the ball there, running split actions, and you looked around, like, my God, what do we can we guard the team, get anyone guard this team, and although I like many others, have sort of been impatient and critical of the nets in the last month or two, how could you not be? It's been complete chaos there for much more than a couple of months. I did pick this team to win the championship before last season. I thought they were just gonna be unbeatable, unstoppable, offensively if they could say healthy, obviously a bunch of stuff we don't need to rehash happen and here we are. We're just starting to see what I thought was going to be their closing lineup this year, which is Kyrie, Joe Harris, Royce O'Neal, Kevin Durant, and Ben Simmons, and if Joe Harris regains sort of his lateral mobility and we're starting to see that, we know the shooting, he can defend okay. He's kind of stout and you put him, Harris, Durant, Simmons. Those are four pretty size switchable guys that line up someone to play 31 minutes together all season just 31. That's nothing, has an offensive rating of a 125 points per 100 possessions. That is blowing the doors off teams. All of those are good signs and signs of the team, then that's want to be and yet boy oh boy. They're just so small with that lineup and that's the ultimate question is can it defend or line ups like it defend? Well enough and rebound well enough for them to have a chance in last night. We saw the answer is still no 20 offensive rebounds from Philadelphia. 20. You can't win. You can't win if the other team is just playing volleyball. Every time down, the nets are 30th last in defense of rebounding. They've been 30th and last in defensive rebounding for most of the season. They've been a bottom 5 defensive rebounding team essentially for the last four seasons constantly. It's just so unsolvable problem. It doesn't appear to have any solutions. You can bring in some sort of stopgap big man. You think Dwight Howard's going to come back and change the that's fine. I mean, how many minutes is he going to play? And we saw last night. They targeted Joe Harris. On post ups for Tobias Harris. Shake Milton was just shooting right over your Seth curry's your patty mills. And by the way, when you switch Harris or O'Neill out of that lineup and you put curry or mills in alongside Irving, it's just too small. It's that the shooting is incredible. It's just too small against the best teams. And patty mills, I'm starting to worry

"One 8 8 8 5 three two 3500. We're 2022 iHeartRadio jingle ball. Presented by Capital One. Y'all ready to have some fun. Starring at Dua Lipa. Charlie puth. The Backstreet Boys. The Kid Laroi. AJR. And more. The biggest holiday party of the year. Jingle bells. Our iHeartRadio jingle ball coming live from New York to The CW app in CW TV dot com on December 9th. Let's jump into the book a little bit. Again, so the book is spaced out how the NBA's three point revolution changed everything you thought you knew about basketball. I liked this as kind of a companion piece to Kurt goldsberry sprawl ball of a few years back. I think the two of these together explain the era and the roots of the era very well. And yours goes far deeper into kind of bringing out some of the things that even were going on in the 80s that explain what came in like the mid 2000s. Which is the 1880s or the 19 because there's a little bit on the 1880s. That's true. You went really deep into the into the history books there. Naismith never never accounted for pace and space though. So just as a quick reference point here and you've got a lot of this stuff in the book, but I just was doing a quick and dirty look on basketball courts before we got on. Here's how quickly things have changed because I often think in my own head about, well, this era started with Mike D'antoni and Steve Nash and the sons and 7 seconds or less in the mid 2000s. But the acceleration of the last 7 years is really what's striking. So the warriors are leading the league right now at 41 three point attempts per game, which is just kind of mind boggling. The year they won their first title in 2014 15, they were averaging 27 a game. Let's say and I was like leaving the league. Yeah. And there were second in the league, I think, to Houston. But that's only 7 years ago. It's 7 years, the warriors went from being a team that we thought was predicated on three point shooting. The splash brothers, but the average 27 threes a game now the average 41. That same year 2014, 15, the rockets led the league with 32.7 three point attempts per game. That would rank 20th today. Yeah. Again, this is not a 20 year comparison. This is 7 years. And the warriors would rank last, I believe. Yeah, I didn't look up that one. But yeah, I'm sure you're right. The hulk's right now, our last at 28.4 per game, and that would have been second in 2014. We're talking like 8 years, 7 years. It's crazy. So we know about a lot of the roots and you go into a lot of the roots in detail in your book. You explain where 7 seconds or less comes into play, where Don Nelson's we believe warriors come into play. Where rules changes come into play. There's all these interesting inflection points. And I want to ask you about that too, but first, why are we seeing such an acceleration over the last even just half decade or so in particular? Is it just everybody rushing to catch up? Is it just that the mass became so determinative and we aren't in an analytics age, like why is it accelerating so quickly now because the leaps from 1979 80 when the three point shots introduced to 1990 or 90 to 2002 1002 thousand compares to what's happened in the last 6, 7 years. So I think there are two ways I can answer that question. The first is sort of from a more philosophical human history perspective, which is generally speaking big technological advances proceed in spikes. You've got gradual exchange and then somebody has this kind of brilliant new idea and then it just very short stretch. It just spikes. And then it kind of that's the new normal, and then it levels off. And then it spikes again. I mean, just think about social media as a concept or cell phones, you know, how quickly that went from, you know, what the hell is this thing to like, this is just a normal part of our lives. And that is generally, I think, how human history proceeds. In the NBA example, I think all the things that you said are the answer and they all kind of mush them together and create this exponential effect. There is, I think, evident in what the warriors were able to accomplish and how that changed the league. All of these things were happening at once. There was an analytics movement that was saying three is more than two. There was a burgeoning kind of pace and space movement that was very much illustrated by the suns. And I tell this story about how I think the sons of D'antoni kind of split into like a two factions, almost like kind of two sex of a religion. Where the warriors are kind of the more for lack of a better word, the art sect. And the rockets are kind of the more like science prosaic industrial set. And it's their rivalry that they kind of constantly are bashing their heads against the wall against each other. But the other 30 teams was like, well, I can take a little bit from here. We can stand further away like the rockets, but actually we need to cut a lot like the warriors and we need to move and they collected forces elite forward. You know, you had to catch up to them. But I think the biggest thing is that all of these things kind of for whatever reason kind of come to a head right at one moment and create all the conditions to cause us. I mean, there were people well before Mike D'antoni, who said you should play faster and kind of play more loose loosely. There were people before those, you know, these teams that said we should shoot the ball more than three. There are people Don Nelson in particular who say, well, why do we have, why do we have to have a center look like a center point guard look like a point guard? I mean, I tell the story about Billy knight in the book, the old host GM, who was had the 6 8 fetish, really. You know, there are people that did that. There were people that, you know, were pick and roll heavy rather than isolation heavy. It's just that all of these forces kind of came together at the exact moment that they needed to. At around, I think, again, in the mid 2000s. And it's through the collection of all of them kind of exploding together that creates this spike. And I guess that's the best way I can describe it is that it's kind of all of these happening at once. If they each happen in isolation, you wouldn't have seen all this stuff happen. This profound transformation and the big point I would stress too is that because everybody's shooting threesome or what it is really done and this is what really the book is about as much as the threes is that it's double the chord essentially. So players are standing the borders of a typical half court possession or just a typical possession are essentially twice as long, but you haven't added more players to fill that space. So it just changes everything that you would want to do, how does shooting work? How does moving work? How does the defense work has dribbling work? How does all these things that we kind of accept? It's like, you basically double the service. So it's a different game when you play the same sport over twice as large a space. And that's kind of what ended up happening. Yeah, you mentioned in the book, you talk about this as optimizing space that era is really about is optimizing space and then you note at 1.2 that if you were to pull up a clip on YouTube and drew boxes around like where the players are a collections of players are then do the same thing with like a game clip from 1985 or whenever it would be like dramatically evident. It would just be so obvious it would look like it would look like a different game to your point. It's like we're using more of the court now and that changes everything that you can do in those spaces as you say. You as you wrote, you've optimized
The Crossover NBA Show with Chris Mannix
"prada" Discussed on The Crossover NBA Show with Chris Mannix
"He is Mike Prada. You know his work from SB nation where he spent many years. He's now a writer and editor at the athletic and he's got a fascinating new book out. It's called spaced out how the NBA's three point revolution changed everything you thought you knew about basketball. A lot's been written, of course, over the last decade, about the three point era about pace and space, about small ball, about all these components that go into what we now know as the modern NBA game, Mike's book is I think the most comprehensive explanation that I have seen taking us through all the various stages and players and teams and coaches who sparked this revolution, but also back to the seeds of a lot of this that are from prior eras. It's really fascinating a great read and a great education on the game. Great conversation with Mike about that and some current NBA storylines before we get to that. A quick plug for another book from Sports Illustrated about the history of the Lakers. It's called the greatest show on earth. I had the honor of writing the forward for it. It features 15 stories from the pages of SI from the 60s through the present, covering all the Laker legends, Kareem and magic and wilt, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, and of course written by some of the greatest sports writers of all time, Frank to Ford, Jack McCallum, Lee Jenkins, Chris Ballard and others.

Like and subscribe for the best weekly NBA content these two are capable of. What does that mean? Could be the best duo ever. I don't see how you can beat that. Here they are. Chris mannix and Howard back. Now very pleased to be joined by Mike prater, Mike. Welcome. Good to see you. How are you? I'm good. Great to see you. It's been a while. I have not seen you bumped into you in any arenas anymore. I don't bump. It's just now the last several weeks that I've finally started to bump into people in arenas again period because even the last year we were kind of back at NB arenas, this feels like the first normal season, but good to see you virtually at least. A tough day, obviously, for our country, I don't know where you stand in the Taylor Swift ticketing fiasco, I love my coworkers are very upset today. I just put it that way. It's been a tough afternoon here at the Beck household. My daughter's a huge swift fan. We took her. It was her first concert ever, was like 5, 6 years ago, we took her to Taylor Swift out in Jersey. We were hoping to get these. Ticketmaster, you suck. You're just, I just, I've had it. We're done. Bring back ticket Tron is what I'm saying. I can get behind that. Pearl Jam had it right when they wanted to end the ticketmaster monopoly. I agree with that as well. Great for you. It's bad is what I'm saying. Great to see you. Congrats on the launch of the book spaced out, which we will discuss at length here in a moment. I like it so much that I have now, I believe it's either four or 5 copies. Wow. Okay. Before you that takes, that takes up half of the sales right there. Thank you. This is not me like sucking up trying to get high on your list of favorite NBA writers, but I'm not even sure how I ended up with, so I pre ordered because I like to support my fellow writers out there. I did a pre order months ago, forgot that I had pre ordered, and then of course the promotional copies come before the ones you buy anyway. So when somebody reached out, they said, hey, we'll send you a comment. Yeah, please send me a copy. Somehow I ended up with like three or four of the advanced so I didn't even pay for most of these bike. I'm sorry. I did pay for one. One is more than a lot of people are paying attention. So I'll take that. People go buy the book. All right, so before we jump into the book, let's just hit a couple quick things about where things stand in the NBA as you and I sit here on Thursday afternoon where teams have played between 13 and 16 games. So that's 16 to 19% of the schedule, which is still small sample sizes, but enough to be significant and enough for some of our early concerns to be serious concerns. Here's how weird things are. All right, so the warriors are 6 and 9, of course, and winless on the road still. The trailblazers lead the west at ten and four, the jazz were supposed to be tanking or tied with Portland for the most wins in the west at ten. And the jazz of the third most wins in the NBA behind Boston and Milwaukee. The kings have the best record in the state of California. By mere percentage points over the clippers, but still the kings are the best record in California. I believe the Cavaliers have the number one point differential in the league. At least they did until they lost. Well, the 5 game losing streak might erect that. Yeah. And the pacers are a half game back excuse me, a half game better than the sixers. The pacers are full game up on Miami. So shit is weird, is what I'm saying. Very weird. Maybe this is explains the ticketmaster Taylor Swift fiasco. I don't know. It's all related somehow. Which one of these things to you, Mike, is most striking? Is there any one thing that might explain it all? Is there any one of these that is your favorite? What is intriguing it amidst the weirdness of the early season? Where to begin? It has been a strange one. The first thought I had, and I was kind of BSing about this before the podcast is that isn't this kind of the NBA Adam silver is always wanted. You know, this is where everybody, there's parody, if you're well managed, you can kind of climb quickly. I like the scare quotes. You can't see this folks on a podcast, but the prey to put up the air quotes with the fingers. That was great with the well managed part, yes. Does the Sacramento Kings very well managed? So that's why yeah, no, it's interesting to see everybody club together like this. This is very much the football model. And I think it's kind of funny that this happened a year where everyone was supposed to be tanking for Victor Wen Ben Yama, and it's still a little early to figure out where all means, but I do sort of wonder, and this may be ties into the book. And this is just a half thought I've had. Is there something about how maybe the game has reached a kind of this stage where everybody kind of knows this is how we're supposed to play, and now we're kind of innovating off that. That there are players who are entering the league younger who kind of know what they're doing more. I mean, a lot of these things that are surprising are kind of doing it we've got with young players who are really surge. I'm thinking of shady villages Alexander, tyrese Halliburton, maybe not necessarily some of the jazz players, but some of these teams that are surprising us are kind of these young players who are a little bit different, a little bit more, I guess, to steal a quote from a book the book, spaced out native. And I just wonder if maybe we've reached this point where now the teams that are most creative are the ones that are prospering. And it's just a half thought I've had, but it's definitely didn't expect it, so. It's

The Chief Stands Alone: Roberts, Roe and a Divided Supreme Court
"The Supreme Court came out on Friday with the expected but nevertheless bombshell decision overturning roe versus wade. I mean, that was the real meaning of the decision, the immediate focus was on the Mississippi law, which essentially outlawed abortion after 15 weeks. And there was one justice as it turns out the chief justice, Roberts, who wanted to sustain role, but in a sense limited. He wanted to uphold the Mississippi law and say in effect that, yeah, you do have an abortion right. States, in other words, can't regulate abortion for the first 15 weeks, but after that, they can. And what's really interesting is that this was a kind of middle position that Robert was hoping to sell, you may say, vote to the left and to the right. Oddly enough, I both sides gone along with it. You would have had a different outcome. But neither side was interested in it. In fact, I remember when Elizabeth Prada, the solicitor general, was arguing the case. She said there's an old middle ground. She goes, look, either you uphold row and the Casey decision, Planned Parenthood versus Casey. Or the whole thing falls. And I guess the court decided let it fall. So the only guy who's trying to sustain this middle ground was, in fact, was in fact

I i thought it was good because it helped me get into the mood of the movie because like yeah i've got a pretty jaundiced eye about fashion and all that kind of stuff but they starts with a montage of women doing the incredibly hard work of being beautiful like it's a it's a it's a long a five minute montage of like just women from all different walks of life Like putting on makeup checking out there out. That's looking in the mirror. And i it's one of the things that's like Atropine i do know men who spend as much time in front of a mirror as women. But on average i think societies condition women to care more about that stuff to men and i thought it did a really good job of like before you want to start up with your bullshit aron about not caring about fashion know that like for vast majority of people like it really does rule their life. They're very harshly judged by it. There's a lot of in group out group pressure to conform to these standards. But it's one of those things where i feel like when if you like. It's almost like a snake eating its tail because like the movie starts off that way showing all these pressures to form and then you had this entire movie and then at the end of the day you still have miranda at top applying the pressures and it's kind of loops back into itself. It's a self creating perpetuating thing. Yeah and they're playing the song i don't actually in the name of it said suddenly i see i see. Yeah by katie something. I can't think of her name but this is a song that's about female empowerment right Apparently the background of it is that she was looking at a photo of very powerful and accomplish woman by some famous photographer and she was struck by the desire to change your life in sort of live up to that ideal. Wrote the song about it and they're playing it over a scene like you said which is a bunch of of women getting ready for their days. Spending massive amounts of time in front of the mirror and and andrea. Who's doing the same but also not having quite the result that these other women do It's meant to like juxtapose. Andy with the rest of these high fashion women and they're playing the song and it's i. I didn't know at the time if the movie was trying to tell me that this is something that's empowering or if the movie was using this ironically i it's a little a lotta by the end of this moving. There's a lot of this where the movies like. I'm not so i'm not sure if it's so smart it's coming off a stupid if it's so stupid it's approaching looking smart because you're right like two sides of the coin like is. Is this actually st making the ironic statement. Or is this gallagher. These women put under fucking warpaint in armor. I could see going either way and they use music pre well. It's not like music that i love but i'm sure a lot of people of of the generation where they were young adults at time of this baby. Probably love this song and many of the other songs in there like vogue. Madonna's vogue is in there. Couple madonna songs actually so not like my cup of tea but they use the music pretty effectively in this movie. Yeah can't believe they didn't get material girl in there. Yeah yeah that's a little older but sure. Yeah the madonna sense right. Did you see anything about the an winter component of this movie either. How i'm always bitching about like anytime. There is a reference to journalism in a movie like of late. It's been fashionable. To get like anderson cooper or you know wolf blitzer oh the actual journalists and i always think like that's gross because you guys are real journalist and you shouldn't be like doing fake journalism even as kind of like a wink. Wink nudge. nudge. Isn't this funny. That i'm having a cod zillow movie. And i'm talking about godzilla fit. I actually was like you know. I'm i'm kind of impressed. Because there's not nearly i thought there'd be so many fucking cameos of well-known fashion designers models and stuff and i'm like it's actually kind of refreshing. They took effort to like come up with fake versions of everything. Even the you know clearly is supposed to be the new yorker. I think andy walks into they. Come up with the name and like have this like shitty eight and a half by eleven. Something that's some production. Assistant ran off that morning to slap on the the window to she walks out of. So you know it's like a new yorker type of thing that's kind of cool because that way there's like you know i think it's i think it's more has more integrity you know that if you're making something skewering in industry that you you know you don't use that industry to do it. It turns out. I guess the editor of vogue this this miss winter put out like essentially of ahead hunting bounty that. Like if you appear in this film. I will ruin you in the fashion world. That's why there are no big models or you got giselle. Bunsen like tom. Brady's wife but she's not playing a model there. There's they wexford. Include the only towards. I think yeah they reference the tom fords and the for sachi's and all this stuff but like they don't appear in the film. I guess it's because the editor of vogue just made an edict while which only plays righty today ends of this fucking movie right. But that's like that's the the lack of self-awareness because that's other things like a lot of these ten years. Puff pieces were kind of like trying to reconceptualise miranda as like an anti hero. You know why do we. Why did we ever see her. As a villain. She's out there trying to be. She's doing the things of the ceo does and like i guess it's like the This is like i. you know There's this thought and progressive circles that like sometimes you don't make as much progress as we think 'cause like you know There's this big push of like. Well we need more female representation as in soldiers and like in boardrooms and this and that instead of thinking like really a progress if we got female drone pilots killing innocent people overseas or. Is it really. If we got psychopath women like i is that the will. We're trying to. But i do feel like some of those pieces are made it like the height of the girl boss area where people are like. Well you know why are we critical of miranda for doing things that men of done for centuries etc etc right rather than the next level critique is like why is it acceptable for anyone. Act like this. Yeah.

Is something very predatory about this this whole thing. That's happening here and it makes me out. That's why i think this is the the wretched naievety of the movie. Because i see it to like this. It feels very quid-pro-quo and like i i keep expecting him to like put the like explicitly quid-pro-quo like while you're gonna suck my dick now that i got. This is harry potter novels of the side. Order addicted united united states. But he doesn't he doesn't in fact he doesn't really make a move on her until she's got broken up with the boyfriend. 'cause this is all part of the fantasy like you have it comes really. It comes about as close as you can to that like. There's this scene of the try try again. Seen is i would call. It is like they're out by the lamp post and they're in paris and she's got no boyfriend now she keeps saying no she keeps saying no now. I need the. I need to leave. I need to go. He's touching her face. He's he's moving in every time she objects he comes closer. It's if there is a fine line between playing a game that you both know you're playing and whatever is happening in this scene. And i don't feel comfortable about it. Yeah he's a. It's a weird rule cecil you've mentioned. Why towards the in the movie she's like. What do you think entourage is gonna think of her fucking gentlest when they're on a kinda ross and rachel style break because yeah it's like i kind of wondered that myself it's like well you guys broke up because you're being different people but then you you call back like this. Not even a week has gone. You just went to paris winter to show fuck this dude and then came back and be like. Hey let's let's have a do over here right. yeah. I don't know.

"This. I this movie is beautiful to watch. It's fun to watch because again it's largely attractive. People like emily blunt and anne hathaway going around and cute outfits. It was costume by patricia field. Which essentially is like. It's funny because i felt like i was watching a director's commentary track because esley was we're watching this. She was just like putting in all these little. Like interesting tidbits. Apparently this is the woman who did the costuming and like fashion consulting for sex and the city. Okay so like. She's very good at making. People look stylish and also like expressing character through through dress. Which is one of the things you know in the way things about fashion is like he. I think it's a sham and it's stupid and maybe we'd all be better if we just had like some kind of human uniform. We could wear each day but like it is better. You know like the closer wears are the billboard that we put out like like. There's another quote in here. Because i read a bunch of stuff about this. Like how seriously should we treat fashion especially with this movie as the lynn's and one of the quotes i i read. Was that like you like. Fashion is one of the things you can't escape if you like effect like indifference to fashion. That is a fashion as well. Yeah rejection of fashion norms is a way to be fashionable as well and people can be like cool that way. So like yeah. I i know that like if. I wear pajama bottoms. And crocs out in public. It's saying something about me at does namely that i've given up on life and i know that i can't wear those. I can wear those out of the house. But like i don't know if i like that you know but but it is the way it is you know it is. Yeah and it to me so this movie was nominated for best costume design in the academy awards to not win. Deserved it mildly marie-antoinette which okay they usually have a little more sway. I will say i so. I dislike anne hathaway fashion when she first starts when she interviews like those moms sweaters are pretty bad but there is an in between between where she looks like her grandma and she looks like incredibly attractive socialite at the end there's an in between phase where stanley tucci addressing. Her and. i think that is the. That is the quintessential fashion east. A look. That i hate that. I cannot stand and this obviously says something about me. She she shows up in this. I don't know trash jacket the first day after and she gets noticed. And everybody's like oh god. She looks so good. I'm going to go all the way up to the crotch. Oh yeah. I thought the first out. They're coming out at. It was not great montage. i hated like everyday. She's coming in the office. She's wearing a new outfit or it's a really cool montage right like i love what they do where she's walking across the street at car will pass her outfit will change or go through a turnstile and like passed a pillar in her outfit is different on the other side of the pillar and it's all one continuous thing of her. Travelling to work does a really cool montage l. the outfits are terrible all of them. I don't know. I mean because it's objective right. It's actually a other than that first outfit. I remember thinking wow. She looked put together and kind of timeless to thought her and meryl streep Even though we're fifteen years later they still look stylish. Because they're dressed a little bit. More blazers were emily. Blunt looks a little clubby zealander. Because because she was really often too. I i read that. That was an intentional character choice that they were like really showing that she is so close to the razors edge. She's like might even falling off a bit. So i think that's why i think she looks. So bad in those scenes in those outfits is because stanley tucci addressing her and he his this eighteen year veteran of the fashion industry. Who ray only thing that gets him up in the morning is experimenting with high fashion. Like going off the fucking deep end with you. Know transparent plastics addresses and shit like that all tour right right and so when he dresses are gonna put her in that shit that he thinks is good when she starts dressing herself i think she looks much classier and much much. Better much much better to like i. I love the where they in her personal style like. At the end of the movie where she gets the grudging like nod and smile for meryl streep like i think that's like the alpha. It's funny because like i really. I think i think an dresses really cute when she's right out like college phase where the mom sweaters and like the heavy okay. It's funny but i feel like i. They're like of the women. I've dated ninety percent could be classified as either early. Andy mid mid prada andy or in the product. They were aspiring. Or trying to fit in those molds. Which i think is interesting to go back and look at that. Remember like oh fuck. Yeah like i mean. This movie was had to be influential on the fashion world. And like how people yeah especially like when you are not living in a city that is known for its fashion. Like over talking about in the midwest here. I yeah nobody in the midwest dress in like a new yorker in the same year so writes that she had filters out through the media it filters out through the magazines which are already a cycle behind right like that kind of fast fashion stuff where cycles change every not even every season but every issue of a magazine and now with the online stuff. They'll just change every time you click on a different article right. Yeah yeah i. I can imagine like some of the people who saw this movie. Two thousand six or probably still dressing that way Just like is still dress like. It's the mid nineties essentially. That's a good point. Like i've tried to keep up with some things like i don't know like the short length on on men. Shorts are getting short again. I've gone but like but yeah. I'm pretty quintessentially jeans. And t shirt guy which says something about my lack of participation. I remember when i when i was starting to rejoin the dating world. I had a guy who is in the high fashion who is a bit of a clothes horse and keeps up at this stuff. And i kept saying i just can't pull this shit off man. It's not who i am like. I'm going to like if if i do successfully pull it off. I'll be pulling off something. I'm not and then like when i in bed. Inevitably regressed to the pajama pants. And crocs it's going to disappoint the person you know okay. Because i i don't think i don't think Meryl streep in is You know she might not wear makeup when she saw about a divorce but she still wearing like five thousand dollars. Silk pajamas and gucci slippers. And shit yeah yeah. That's that's not. What what what. I'm getting up to the opposite right and you will change who you are to match the persona that you're putting on because that's what happens. Dan hatheway.

Know transparent plastics addresses and shit like that all tour right right and so when he dresses are gonna put her in that shit that he thinks is good when she starts dressing herself i think she looks much classier and much much. Better much much better to like i. I love the where they in her personal style like. At the end of the movie where she gets the grudging like nod and smile for meryl streep like i think that's like the alpha. It's funny because like i really. I think i think an dresses really cute when she's right out like college phase where the mom sweaters and like the heavy okay. It's funny but i feel like i. They're like of the women. I've dated ninety percent could be classified as either early. Andy mid mid prada andy or in the product. They were aspiring. Or trying to fit in those molds. Which i think is interesting to go back and look at that. Remember like oh fuck. Yeah like i mean. This movie was had to be influential on the fashion world. And like how people yeah especially like when you are not living in a city that is known for its fashion. Like over talking about in the midwest here. I yeah nobody in the midwest dress in like a new yorker in the same year so writes that she had filters out through the media it filters out through the magazines which are already a cycle behind right like that kind of fast fashion stuff where cycles change every not even every season but every issue of a magazine and now with the online stuff. They'll just change every time you click on a different article right. Yeah yeah i. I can imagine like some of the people who saw this movie. Two thousand six or probably still dressing that way Just like is still dress like. It's the mid nineties essentially. That's a good point. Like i've tried to keep up with some things like i don't know like the short length on on men. Shorts are getting short again. I've gone but like but yeah. I'm pretty quintessentially jeans. And t shirt guy which says something about my lack of participation. I remember when i when i was starting to rejoin the dating world. I had a guy who is in the high fashion who is a bit of a clothes horse and keeps up at this stuff. And i kept saying i just can't pull this shit off man. It's not who i am like. I'm going to like if if i do successfully pull it off. I'll be pulling off something. I'm not and then like when i in bed. Inevitably regressed to the pajama pants. And crocs it's going to disappoint the person you know okay. Because i i don't think i don't think Meryl streep in is You know she might not wear makeup when she saw about a divorce but she still wearing like five thousand dollars. Silk pajamas and gucci slippers. And shit yeah yeah. That's that's not. What what what. I'm getting up to the opposite right and you will change who you are to match the persona that you're putting on because that's what happens. Dan hatheway.

Visser rating people like you know film in the montages throwing shit at her assistance and stuff. It's it's it's a of fun to watch even though it's terrible and stressful and all that kind of stuff and it's funny because like i've seen this movie about four times because i when it first came out i. My son was like newborn. And i didn't have time to watch movies but it's you know it wasn't something i would search out but i was you know got divorced and dating about five years. This movie was made and a bunch of women. Really liked this movie. And you know. And we're like exchange in each other's favorite movies and stuff. This when kept on coming up and i watched it a couple times and i remembered that i had this experience every time i watch it i get like all i get so stressed out at how lake anne hathaway is being treated and how she's just getting co opted by the system and she's like losing they actually forget that like all. The movie comes around at the end to where she realizes. All this in the movie was making a move. I was feeling that too. Because i realized how toxic what she was putting herself through is and he sees it as sort of a triumph right. They're playing the suddenly. I see song and going in the big interview. Get nail in the job and and like figuring it all out and it's it's like played is this. Oh she's coming into her own right. She's she's feeling her way through this system and learning to master it and that's exciting and empowering in every step of the way i'm like no it's not it's toxic it's gonna destroy her she's going to end up at sixty years old getting a divorce from her third husband because her life is a shambles at home like i see all those well. There's a movie no one seeing this and then by the end yes it definitely should definitely says like we know you were feeling that all along ears her getting out. Yeah and it's it. We've seen i've seen so many dudes in that role where it's like You know they're really good at one thing to the exclusion of other and they're like pushing themselves to hone and they take the series. It's like you know adrian garnier's in thankless like wife role that we've seen right so many people play like where he's essentially adrian from rambo. I rambo rocky jeez Jim garrison's y from jfk. Just like hand wringing legua. What about the kids. What about the birthdays. What about the. What about our friends. What about you know. He's he's essentially trying to hold her back from this. Excellence right most most of the movies when they go the other way she would just like the way it is usually goes down and movies as she would just master the universe and You know you would just understand that like the sacrifices were worth it and she'd be getting an award. At the end and adrian gagnaire would be in the audience with tears in his eyes clapping for her. I like the fact that nah this movie like steps out of that. And it's like the star quarterback is like you know what i am spending too much in my life on football. I wanted to be a war correspondent. I wanna start fucking getting back into the thing. I wanted to do like she does that. Which is which is cool. But you're right. There is something kind of wretchedly naive about the whole thing to that. You know yeah. I can't help but see it through the lens where i'm currently at because i think look two thousand six was was on the cost of a change in vibe think everywhere at least for me like let's not there are probably people who are generational like it's always been shit and you just didn't know it because you were a nightmare. This is post nine eleven. Which is the thing that's supposed to change everything right a lifetime.

Maybe if if you translate anne hathaway is experiencing this movie to every single person on the planet we can start to make some progress on that shit but like removing has nothing to say about that right right. I mean they offhand. reference the millions of girls. Who would like this job as if that is again.

How like my ears are kind of really picked up the like. Look at the like you know. She went to this elite cau- college and she's working her professional in an educational family connections.

"Call us now. We will help you get back on your feet. Don't wait until it's too late. This is the time to call. Welcome back to Prada, La live Once again. I'm Jackie Mendez. And we are here with Attorney Hora and Attorney Rodriguez attorney Pratt and just before the break. We were talking about a story and I just kind of want to get one thing straight. So this gentleman was driving a car on the job. He crashed into the window of the inventory of this place. And yet he's still getting pay for he got. He got money because he crashed into a window. I just don't know it mind boggling to me. Oh, it's a funny story, but it's a true story was actually a forklift. So he was in the warehouse. And again just must have been preoccupied, not paying attention, but nails a forklift into the inventory done, And he didn't even know he had a case basically basically one of his friends Had another accident on the job, and he referred me him to come and see me again. It's odd, but it's the truth. Sometimes you think it's my fault. I have no remedy. I can't follow case but with workers comp It's almost like strict liability. As long as you're on the job, you don't have to prove That the injury was someone else's fault. You don't have to prove negligence as you do in a car accident case that the other party rear ended me or caused the accident Workers cop It's simple. It's basic If you got hurt at work, you have a case right with wage in our cases. If we can allege that you worked. It's up to the employer to the Turk to establish. You didn't work those hours. So you know, these cases are usually pretty good for the employees there. They're very friendly to the employees just because the employees have such little bargaining power against her employers. So this is why these these laws are set up so much once again that number on the screen 88888 legal. Give us a call that first consultation will be free and I have a question. For you, Attorney Pratt. Would this be a personal injury case as well? Because, yeah, so very good question. So I would say no, only because it happened in the scope of work and it wasn't a vehicle. I don't attorney Rodriguez and I have spoken in the past that there may be a possibility to have both a personal injury case and a worker's compensation case when you're in an actual auto accident, so you'd be driving a natural vehicle. Not to say that a forklift arguably is not a vehicle. I'm sure if I was drunk on a forklift, someone out there would give me a d u I. Some officer but arguably speaking in terms of insurance is bodily injury and then also you hitting another car hitting you, but what's really important and again, I don't want to deter anyone from it is the difference between how in a worker's compensation case You're listening to attorney Rodriguez explain. It doesn't matter whose fault it was. It doesn't matter if this if the worker employee was texting Woz, you know, literally looking up and was completely distracted in there in those kind of cases. Because of that, so much strict liability theory they're able to collect. I'm sorry. They're able to sign a They're able to get make a claim and hopefully collect as well with personal injury. Typically, we do want the client to not be at fault, but I've been successful. Every case is different in determining percentages of liability. So even when you think the accident was your fault, even if you've gotten the ticket still do this a call. You have actually, nothing to lose. The consultation is free. Allow us to review your case because there's a possibility that based on how the accident occurred it specially listen carefully if there were multiple vehicles involved. We may be able to carve out a percentage of liability for you so that even though you were somewhat at fault if we were to take this in front of a jury, you could still possibly collect. At least your percentage that is decided that you're not liable. For example, we say you're only 75% liable Well that 25%. The state of Florida is one of the One of those states that allows for us to still go after the other side for that 25% and some of these cases that could be depending on what we're settling for, or asking the jury for a verdict could be substantial amount of money, depending on the case. That's right. Thank you so much attorney proud once again. 88888 weeks legal. Give us a call. The consultation will be free. Thank you, Jackie. And I want to go back to Attorney Hara about this is the free show. We're here for plaintiffs work for the employees. But you mentioned the little bargaining power for the employer, the the actual owner of the company or whatnot. I know that we've talked about in the past. Is this something that your you can also assist employers to avoid this? The pitfalls. He's trapped that you're seeing after sold many cases most definitely I feel especially smaller businesses, entrepreneurs that are very experienced. They fall into these traps all the time. You know, they think that they can make up over time by giving them days off in the next week or cutting their hours. It doesn't work that way. So a lot of times I see these employers and I'm like, Wow, it had they just done this. That or the other. They could have avoided this whole mess and a lot of times the violation itself. Is only a couple 1000 bucks. You know a couple $1000, but you add to that liquidated damages you add to that attorney's fees. The $2000 case now turns into a $15,000 case. If you hired an attorney to just come in and check out your business you probably would've spent. Let's say a couple of $1000. They would have checked out everything that an audit of your business until you hate these are your pitfalls. Do this do that change this and have more protections as a business owner, especially a small business owner, especially in the state. We were living in now, with Cove it and so many small businesses struggling. I know you're probably saying to yourself. There's no way I can afford an attorney to come in and do it. This must say, audit for me to make sure that my businesses is in accordance with the law. Well, let me tell you let me remind you that in these cases you will have to pay not only your attorney fees to defend these cases, but you'll have to pay your employees attorney fees and the standard is very loan. We've talked about this before about how the burden shift. From the employees to you. It is one of the most unusual areas of law. This might be the best money you've ever spent. You know what?

Right now party maskless during the pandemic while they're beginning training camp come on we can still win. You know get back on board. And i say that. That's a heck of a challenge to put put a lightly so i want to reset for the listener. You're tim because a year ago. The rockets were at a very different place. They were embarking on a grand experiment. Their gm was daryl morey. They had to former mvp to former teammates with thunder james harden and russell westbrook in just one year later. Daryl morey has gone russell. Westbrook has gone and despite the rest of the team reporting for training camp on december first. James harden is still. Mia so what do we know about where he is right now so we are recording on monday morning and his last known location means las vegas by the way just an amazing sentenced before whenever the next sentence is going to be. My understanding is it's gone from atlanta to las vegas. The rockets is you may be aware based in houston Not not not a short walk but for a guy who can afford to say. Throw one hundred thousand dollars cash in a prada bag along with a two hundred thousand dollar. Watch to give into birthday present. It's not difficult to charter a private jet. And get back to houston. If you are so determined. I want to explain for those who are uninitiated. Tim what exactly we saw. James harden doing in las vegas. What was little baby. The rapper doing. Why was there a prada bag full of literal and metaphorical honey buns like what was happening there. Yeah and i'll be honest with you. The whole honey bun metaphor that. That's that was new to me. I don't have any friends that throw hundred thousand dollar bricks of cash at me for my birthday. Wouldn't mind having those types same but yeah so atlanta. This is thursday when nba players are doing individual workouts. They're supposed to be quarantined. In the side from working out testing in the team faciliate essential activities. Well hard ops over to atlanta and attends low baby birthday party gives them the prada bags stuffed with like you said the little honey buns and the metaphorical honey bun. I don't even know how to pronounce the name of the the watch. But it's you two hundred thousand dollar watch and a prada bag because you see hardness proud of him So that was you know it was very very Thoughtful thought to the baby not so much to the houston rockets and harden was also apparently very proud to be attending this party maskless because he posted several pictures on his instagram account. Which you know arms not a big g guy in terms of activity so he definitely wanted it to be known. That area is a little babies birthday party. And then as the rockets are going through their first practices when i first saw these other videos Surface and again. I you know. I forgive me. I'm not quite sure. What said underscore one 'em's. There's just so many underscores oblivious van. It's really hard to keep track of these user dips. Well i mean. I'm a. I'm a forty four year old farts. I don't know exactly who he is. But apparently he's you know pretty important dude in in Little baby circle anyways. So he's got pictures of them continuing the party in vegas and you know. There's a jam packed tour buzzers. Oh people dinner. They're making rain at the club. All all that kind of stuff. I think i
The Pat McAfee Show 2.0
AP Source: Chargers' team doctor punctured Taylor's lung
"Adam, Schefter just reported that tyrod Taylor. The reason why he did not get to play this past week in an intern air bear started for the first time against Kansas City chiefs at ended with hitting a fifty eight yard field goals and another fifty eight yard field goal. But a highly contested matchup between the chargers the chiefs it is now being reported that the chargers team doctor accidentally punctured his own quarterback tyrod Taylor's lung just before kick-off. Sunday while trying to administer a painkilling injection to the quarterbacks cracked ribs league and team sources have told ESPN. According to my sources. Adam Schefter says, now, this sounds terrible whenever you give your I read this and like especially the way she afterward it there the chargers team doctor punctured his own quarterbacks lungs, and that sounds absolutely bad and I was kind of mind blown by this believe it or not. We are given a heads up on this yesterday but we're not a big news breaking world I don't want to dive into the news breaking world because there's a bunch of Peron in sharks in. Going ever dive in there. So I asked around to a couple former teammates in friends of mine that have maybe gotten the same procedure how the hell can something like this happens this sounds terrible in the answer I got from everybody who has had this procedure done, which by the way is marketing, which is in the Novacaine. There's another Cain the mark which is. A numbing agent basically that gets shot directly into the area that is injured for instance, in this particular case, the cracked ribs. Now, the reason why it's done. So close to game time is because it only lasts four four and a half hours so they can't get it done in the morning because the numbness wear off, they can't get it done the night before because. Off they have to do it right before the game, which is why it was surprised to everybody that air bear was starting over tyrod Taylor, including Air Bear, and I would assume the entire chargers offense. Now, what happens though just like whenever you're in surgery now granted this happened to the people I talked to harm percents short happened to tyrod Taylor but just like whenever you go in for surgery for anything, they tell you the possible side effects this could. Potentially happen because surgery this could potentially happen. It's like basically this small print at the bottom of contracts like, Hey, this is all the good looking come from this but also this can happen every person that I talked to got a similar treatment as this said that they were told by the doctor that there was a chance that along could get punctured in the process because when you're giving a shot into the ribs, the long obviously is right there one. A. Hundred percent sure of tyrod Taylor. Was told that before we got the shock. I'm just telling you what I was told by people who got very the exact same situation here free. The bruised ribs are cracked ribs allegedly this is a much more common practice than even I knew about I've probably seen guys potentially get this shop before and didn't even know this was happening because I had nothing to do with me but I guess this is a pretty Common practice whenever you have a crab or bruise rib because it works like a charm I was told and I was also told that they shoot it a little bit above wherever the crack or the bruises in. Let's just settling in for four and a half five hours. You feel amazing. It's that next day you see more that night when it wears off that you feel absolutely terrible thus why I am incredibly happy that I played a position where no motherfuckers. where I could potentially need that. So that is what happened. We obviously tease piece for the punctured lung and the cracked ribs for tyrod. Taylor but from my knowledge of my research calling people that got a similar thing, they said that they were told that was a possible outcome. It's like point one percent that it could happen. But in surgery just like anything in the medical field, there is obviously a chance at something bad to happen it happened tyrod Taylor. I'm not giving an excuse for the doctor do your fucking job right? Especially whenever the people that told me, they said it's like a ninety nine. percent chance it goes well and nothing happens. So if you get that one percent and it's a failure, obviously the doctor did not do here and I would assume would have to answer for that. But that is what I've been told about this entire process. That is why it was such a shock to everybody including air bear who said he was surprised in ancient said, let's go and do this. So I think that is why everything happened the way it is I've been told I'm not a doctor they are not doctors but a punctured lung on punctures itself somehow I don't know that means I guess. Shout out to the human body for puncturing itself. He could play week to week is really could potentially play next week. What do you say day breaking news just from in report he's not GonNa play this week harbored is going to start. Okay. So here we go. There's big news not playing this week. So as long isn't completely on punctured and also. I think that is why because the way one down in him losing the starting job was actually the chargers fault that is why Anthony Lynn came out and said unless. tyrod is he's still are started because I would assume Anthony Len former player was like we gotta fuck this guy here. So whenever he was asked about who's the starter even after incredible debut by Air Bear in the game that they had against the Super Bowl Champs Anthony Lynn probably was. I mean, we couldn't say it obviously because worn one hundred percent. Sure because at the time they're probably still reviewing and Anthony Lane. Prada. Didn't get a chance to do a full checkup on house whatever the case maybe didn't and he didn't want to be like. tyrod Taylor's by the way. We're the reason he's out and he is we made this disease like they. Couldn't say that. So that's why I think I was confused by the way insulin handled the question I think a lot of people are potentially confused but now we know air bear starting this weekend tyrod Taylor not only has cracked ribs but also punctured lung hopefully that unpunctual quickly we're not doctors they have no idea but it is nice to know that this type of thing does happen has happened in the past we probably. Haven't heard about it for whatever reason, and this is something that happens on a regular basis with success. So it's not like they were going above and beyond to make him put him on the field. This is something that has happened in the past
5 Minute Dharma
Heaven and Hell
"The Buddhist said. The Double Prada. I won twenty six. Some enter the womb. Evildoers go to hell the good good heaven. Those free from worldly desires attained, Nirvana? Now. It's not hard to understand the attaining. Nirvana. But what's the stuff about going to hell and going to heaven? That doesn't seem very Buddhist. And yet we find it in the Buddhist scriptures. This is because I think that. The. Proclamation of Buddhism within the West has been sterilized of anything smacking of religion. So that Buddhism doesn't seem religious. But Buddhism is a religion. Is a religion that tells you how to attain the best destination the best life. So it tells you how to live life now. So that, you have peace of mind. It tells you how to attain Heaven after You die and it tells you how to get out of the cycle of rebirth, which is called some Sarah in Buddhism through attaining Nirvana. So. Tells you these things. But we really here mainly in the West about the meditation and about finding peace and things of this nature. But this isn't the complete story of Buddhism see you get a skewed view of Buddhism. So, lately, I've been writing for PATHOS PATHOS DOT COM. And Have My. I. Have a column there called the Buddhist said. And every week I do two articles where I explore the Buddhist teachings from the Pali Canon the earliest scriptures of Buddhism. And one of the things that. I'm trying to help people. Understand. Is that Buddhism is a full religion. It's not just find inner peace. It's about avoiding hell it's about attaining heaven and ultimately attaining Nirvana. So. One of the things I explained in my articles is the difference between the conditioned reality and the unconditional reality. So we live in a conditioned reality. And that conditioned reality has five basic destinations. You have the hell realms you have the ghost realm, you have the animal realm, the human realm, and the heavenly. Realm. And those are the five destinations that you can go to in this conditioned reality. Now. If you attain Nirvana which is complete liberation, then you leave this conditioned realm and go into. What can only be said to be the UN conditioned. You can't call it. A realm realm is conditioned. So I, call it an unconditional reality but that is still saying maybe too much about it. We don't know. We only know what the on conditioned is it's unconditional born on made on created on fabricated. And it's with that understanding then you begin to look at the Buddhist scriptures used. Yes Buddha tells how to get out of the cycle of rebirth. But he also tells you well, you're here. And if you don't attain Nirvana, the best thing to do is to practice the Dharma. And the Dharma has three basic printings if you will you have the ethical training. The. Mindfulness Meditation Training and the wisdom. Training this is the insight into the true nature of reality. So the ethical will give you a good rebirth. What you want is you want to be reborn as a human because the divine places, the heavenly places to pleasurable for you to meditate and the hell places to painful and of course, by Hell I mean they're temporary. So they're more like purgatory 's all these destinations are temporary. Nothing is permanent in the conditioned room. The only thing permanent is the uncommissioned. So when she realized that what you do here, effects where you're going after your life. Then the Buddha says ethical standards is what you do to make sure you have a good rebirth. That seems odd to many people who think of Buddhism has just a meditation practice. But this is what the Buddha taught. He taught a way of escape from the conditioned reality, but he also taught within this conditioned reality how to get the best rebirth so that you can practice so that you can attain Nirvana.

Artificial Intelligence in Industry
Financial Services Analytics, Before and After AI - with Dr. Derek Wang of Stratifyd
"So Derek I want to get started with this kind of problem of operationalizing analytics. You guys work in financial services, a lot of our audiences, retail banks, big insurance firms at a lot of them have similar problems. How do you describe this core issue of how disjointed the analytics? What does it look like in there? Yeah. Let me give an example when I a professorship I was working hours Department of Homeland Security and Defense Strategy Deduction Agency, and really working on multimillion dollar kind of federal research to Human Jenner data to predict pandemic hall pathogens transmitted from different nations donation. It's a very timely skill right now derek a forty. Five years ago, six years ago. Got Big projects. They're Harvard. That's part of the. The motivation of starting stratified is because when we done not eighteen twenty, four months of product would deliver our software to folks on the other side, just start using it. They can operationalize that because as many Prada as we have been serving without customer, it's so centralized in a small group like the PhD's like the data scientists were looking at, it wanted pushed. A business is harder for them to use it. Right? That's where it triggers. The whole motivation of generating company like stratified is, let's let's bring future data analytic, which is really operational is the data analytics. Poaching that from the business lines, then live on business started using that in solving everyday problems they have. So we essentially become the operating system on their business analysts, their desktops day in day out there analyzing it in our station and my philosophy as in ever their laptops either they're collecting data. Or they're making decisions. So that's where we're going to operation is analytics for folks. Got It. So I'M GONNA assume a little bit up and kind of paint the problem a little bit more, and then we can start to go into some example. So the challenge that you're articulating is that analytics sits in this it universe where maybe I t tell me if I'm wrong here, they might build some dashboards they might build. Build some little interfaces maybe, but they're not day to day up next to the marketing people day to day up next to the compliance people day to day of next to the fraud people in financial services, for example. So those people in the business. So to speak in those operational wings, they don't really get their hands dirty with analytics, they just kind of get whatever they can request and whatever get built for. For them and what you're talking about is a dynamic where they actually can have their own interface and build and use the things they want. Am I hearing you. Correctly, you're absolutely right. One little thing to add to that is they're lacking the feedback channel, right? They're always as treated as consumers of what the other team has spilled. However, what other teams build because they are not business savvy, their lack of bag. Bag and updating what they're looking at to your point dashboard whatever the real time hurts the business. Yeah. Yeah. Because I guess nothing could be as customize. It really needs to be for the compliance people unless they're able to engage with it and build out the way they need or the marketing people build it out the way that they need. Now, of course, that's kind of a new skill set in a new. Set of things to learn for those teams and when I think about adopting a I, you guys, obviously, you have enough traction you for a fifty million dollars at this point. So clearly you have, you know some traction onto your belt for you folks, you've got to build I, guess, build something that simple enough that a person marketing or compliance will actually use. So I'm seeing that this problem is we've got to be. Consumers of what it builds analytics. That's not great. We WanNa see our own things about churn or about some regulatory issues or or whatever. But if if we want to put it in the hands of those users and let them really engage, how do we make it simple enough for them? What are the lessons you learned there because to me, that feels like a big challenge. It absolutely is, and you said are valued problem really while it's really democratizing Ai. Right. So think about this. What we have it, we will we have put a lot is simplify the model, right? You don't need to know what model is what you care as a marketing. You care about the results you care about attorney. Cariballo. Complies will we have done is spent a lot of time researching into how we can provide automatic machine learnings. Now, just one model. Model, not just two models is really led the model, the fit in whatever data for my to it. So that's simply put stratified were based on four simple part of one flywheel number. One will provide over one hundred, fifty data collections as individual. Do you don't need to worry about how can get hands on data? You are data market, you can get all the data connect to it. secondarily, that's where the preparatory auto, but she learnings county in our. It will go into based on what data get in automatically apply analytics and then visually showing you. Boys Costumer as Customer, experience folks to see what are the head and signals that really locks into that data set, and then you can start connecting those signals interactivity real time to tell a story. So that's how you made a simple straightforward and it becomes a skill sets that people can start leveraging without

"Are there skills from your life in fashion that you were able to apply to your soap business absolutely? Honestly Shadow to lead because she knew she played a huge part in that. I didn't know we work together once. Did. I didn't know Jack Shit about illustrator. Photoshop McKay didn't I. think that company that Leeann I. Both worked for was my first experience in illustrated photoshop, so I had to learn. And leaves looking at me like girls just president I did that in six years later? I'm like making Tech Paxton. I'm now I'm making my own illustrating branding in designing my own packaging but I couldn't have done that if it wasn't for the or me working in industry for six years doing that same exact thing over over over day in day out and. Honestly, I would've never at me. Personally I wouldn't never acts or hire someone to do branding because I know like I know Kinda how to do that myself so. I'm jobless. I got all this free time ahead. Illustrator on my computer giant screen see we could do and then. I came into the world of like. Seeing brands grow on on instagram and in looking at packaging. Going out in like looking at what is all out on the market and men kind of just mimicking that. Trying to exercise my skill, speaking of your design background and your web of Brandon, your visuals tell of really cohesive brand story from the product to the Brandon into the photography. Everything has a really specific style. So what are some techniques used to get everything aligned in your aesthetic? Yeah, I'm Tumbler. Avid, Tom Moore gather all my feels, and all my moods, and the places that want to go in place the travel to and how I want my home till the glide in the future. How pretty much just like kind kind of trying to get to wear want to get to in like twenty years I guess. That's how I guess best, but but I will say this. That's my method now. My method before was everything was heavily heavily inspired by what I saw on social media to be completely honest with you. I think that's how many people start out. They have like look at what everyone else is doing at Don. KNAPP for like two years and I was just like it just wasn't working for me so now. I have to like go into. into myself going to my mind because I know, I know I'm an incredible human being and I. Know that whatever's up here is insane and I'm pretty sure that somebody out there in the world feels how I feel or have had not how I feel. That's how I organize. My images are my fields tumbler. Temperature is a great community of people just like Instagram, but it's less political. It's less chatty. It's really just about images and Pinterest But. I guess you would say. Tumbler would be like my my thing so basically. You're using Tumbler to get your as you call. It feels together to build your mood to figure out your mindset, and then by gathering that at helps, make your vision clearer absolutely and I. Just want to point out i. think the fact that you mentioned you're. You're building that based on where you want to be in twenty years. Instead of what's hot now be my favorite piece of branding advice. We've ever heard from any guests like it makes so much sense. It's inspirational and I totally. It links up now with what I've been seeing on your feed like I. Get it now. It's a vision rather than you know trying to. Fit in late on trend yeah it's. notice if you scroll back far enough. Everything was very Prada Teddy. Product product product product after a while. It's like okay. We know he's also of okay. Know you make so and I didn't feel. I was growing in also didn't feel like connecting. It just felt like I was selling selling selling, and I see that most instagram's fail that way because. They're just so focused on. Here's myself. Here's my so here's. My so here's the every five minutes every day and I said you know what. I see okay, so you see those instagrams that you you come across. They don't sell anything. They're just instagram you noticed. You see one go, and then you're scrolling next thing you know you're on it, but thirty minutes on this whole issue because you've just been absorbed, went down. A radical of just feels, and you connect with the a now now when you're done. Okay, let me go the late. Let me. See what's going. Let me see what these people do. That's what I'm. That's what I WANNA be. That's what I want. The instagram to be in that town draw people in because. The so at the end of the day. seriously. It's salt at the end of the day right in there, so many people out there making so you can go outside right now in fine soap anywhere, but the connection to it in the emotion that comes along with that is what matters most in that. I'm finding most success.

Pastry, Politics, and Pivots
"Seven years ago about this time I was in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I didn't live there but I was given a one way ticket and I flew into the city. I didn't know a single soul but I knew I would touch the lives of thousands. By the time I left in five days so what was going on seven years ago around this time. Barack Obama and Joe Biden were running for reelection and I was part of their advanced team that carried out their events across America. Pretty cool job right. How did I even get it? Well much like the food industry. The world of politics is a small one and I got my connection from my first job out of college working for Nancy Pelosi doing her first speakership in the US House of Representatives. Now I'm not a political junkie. I never was never will be. So why did I take a job so central to it all for the next four years my office would be in the capital and my office view of The Washington Monument? That on so why this damn working for the first female speaker of the House was going to be interesting. Here was a woman in a position with no precedent and now she was second in line to become president in a world built by men founded by men. What was she going to do? How was she going to act? All eyes were on her scrutinizing every move and for me as a young female professional in my early twenties observing. How she embraced. This role was going to change my life and my outlook of women in power across all industries. So what was it like working for Nancy? Pelosi Meryl Streep Playing Anna Wintour in the devil wears Prada's a fairly accurate description of my typical workday. There was energy in the office when she got to work. The kind that made you put your shoes back on your suit jacket so you look presentable. At all times. She was a tough loss with us. Her staff and the two hundred thirty three Democratic members that she represented in Congress. You left every meeting with her feeling like you weren't doing enough. She had goals and she knew how to carry them out. She made decisions with such force and directness that you did not question the outcome and these decisions were big like providing all Americans with healthcare and reviving that American banking system. Pelosi wasn't power and neither we or she doubt that. But in this position making monumental decisions is one thing getting others onboard to make them reality is another and the longer I worked for her the more. I noticed what she did to make that happen. No detail too. Small gop pastor because every detail was important where someone sat at a meeting who was included in a phone call even the order in which someone was introduced at an event and every choice. She made no matter how small was the right one and it was genius. She recognized that it was the details that counted for each person. It was her secret she could make. People feel counted recognized human. It was hospitality. She could remember the details of people's lives the names of spouses children grandchildren enquiring about your health. And following up on it she would write handwritten. Thank yous and well wishes for important events. She lended a human touch to the role of speaker. And I am telling you that is how she has gained the loyalty of those that she leads. How did she become speaker of the House again? It's not because of tactical skill. It's because she's found ways to connect with you as a person my four years working for her help me see what women are capable of at the highest levels of leadership and pressure and that one of the most important qualities that we have more so than our counterparts is that we are better at nurturing relationships and it is a quality that we should embrace in our leadership roles as for me. I didn't have to tap into this just yet in my professional life because things were about to change. How did I pivoted from politics to pastry? It wasn't so much pivot as it was the ground shifting below me as a result of the two thousand eleven elections. The Democrats lost power of the House. Speaker Pelosi lost her post and I lost my job and remember when I said I wasn't a political junkie. Losing my job. Was the universe telling me to stop living someone else's dream that I had other interests and now the curtain was lifted. It was nudging me towards something that I was a junkie about food. Baking had always been a hobby for sure but it was hardly the source of my career. Change it was the wider world of food that drew me in and being curious about food was my hobby. Was there an article about a farmer who is growing apple varieties from the days of George Washington? Was there a documentary about how Vitnamese I started making fish sauce? I watched it and was there a recipe calling for fresh coconut mill. You better be sure. I went out bought a coconut and smash it on my kitchen floor with a hammer. So during this period of unemployment I realized I needed to take this eagerness to learn about food and turn it into something tangible and so I thought might as well make it my job and there was. I was twenty nine years old when I made the switch. Twenty nine years old is when a cook has been cooking in a kitchen for ten years and becomes an executive chef. I was old and new at the same time and I knew I needed a fast track my career so my strategy was twofold to work in the best restaurants in the world and travel and in a span of five years. That's what I did from Chicago to New York across the Pacific Ocean to Asia in Australia. I did not stop I went to school. I stashed I worked. I worked for free. I worked in countries that I legally wasn't allowed to. I sacrificed my my finances and my family and poured my heart and soul into experiences that I opened myself up to because there is nothing more I wanted to do. This was it then. I became a chef. I was a cook became a chef. But really that's just title but it is a title that screams a responsibility to lead. And now I thought how do I want to lead? What kind of leader do I want to be? I'm a woman an ethnic minority of an immigrant family entering late into an industry dominated by men. How many predecessors do I have to look up to not enough? That's for sure but I had to remember. I had the ultimate example to look back on speaker. Pelosi did not see herself. As the first woman in a man's job she simply saw herself as the best person with the skills intellect and humanity for the job and this is what enabled her to be speaker as she saw fit without second guessing herself in regards to her gender and she has become one of the most effective speakers in recent history because of that Donald. Trump will see that for himself soon. Enough I am Sherwood. It and the key to her longevity leadership recognizing the little details that make up our humanity to cultivate loyalty. That is her strength. And that is how I want to lead. Coincidentally we as an industry are in a period of time where we are re evaluating how we treat people gun should be the days of physical verbal mental abuse treating people as they weren't people at all. We can still demand perfection and excellence. But how do we do it in a more dignified way? There's no easy and is going to take a long time for us to change our culture but I do believe women are the ones with an sinks to shape it into something better. How just like my old boss? Look for the details finding humanity and lead with it.

"We have one of my awesome friends in an all around Rockstar. She's the author of a number of bestselling books including Bostitch and rich coal lap. And thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you Brian. I feel like you should do the male versions of these books. What do you think would they be called points bitch which would be great or rich dude rich but I get so much cooler? Like rich bitch is fun but I feel like it would be kind of like people. Look down on me right. Nobody could ever looked out on. You know I think you know you and I don't even other side hustle or another project but if we did. I think you could do that. Let's talk about you. I mean you have been the youngest anchor on CNN and so you went from knowing nothing about finance growing up. You are first generation. American money was not a topic in your household and now look at you with these bestselling books. How did how did you go from zero to one hundred? Oh my gosh I would have said like bonds had to do with bond girl growing up. I knew nothing. I mean. We don't learn in school. It's bananas like if you and I are in charge with world I think we say instead of or in addition to the Thiam Theorem are all this nonsense dissecting a frog you need to learn how to budget how to do taxes how to do a business plan what the heck a credit score is all that stuff and today. I don't have kids but I mean I know my friends. Kids are studying mandarin and traveling. I have to think today in. Today's curriculums are teaching. This are they not. They're not and I think that personal finance. It's such a disservice even like what am I doing? Going to speak at business schools. Even my friends who had gone to business schools. They asked me like the most basic personal finance questions. One of them said I have money because I have checks. I'm like Oh my God. I'm so scared for society right now and I'm the least likely person she knew any of this stuff but I realized that money is just the language like anything else. We just don't have over a stone for that language growing up and I got a job when I was eighteen because I grew up in a super broken home needed to start working really early on my father died of an overdose when I was eleven and I just started in school when I was fifteen on the air at small markets and I needed just a J. O. B. leg. I didn't have the luxury of doing what I love like a lot of entrepreneurial experts like. I just had to figure out how to love what I did because I needed to make money and I was offered a job on the floor of the Chicago Merck. At the time I wanted a job in like big market Milwaukee from the small broadcasting. No I went to northwestern and they asked me if I knew anything about business news and I just said absolutely I love business news and I totally lied and totally faked it till I made it and I knew nothing about it and I was thrown on the floor of the exchanges in Chicago and I just went to the school of hard knocks and just learned it. It sounded like Chinese because it really is a language like once you can the language of money. I actually rewrote financial dictionaries in the back of my books in real English like short not the opposite of tall. It's the opposite of long means. Something's going in the pooper league. It's not serious. Equity is a fancy word for stock like a know. It sounds really right but once you learn it and once you know at this complicated so you're known for your twelve step guides someone listening right now who's their houses and so much in order like bring us through like where do you start? All of my books are twelve. Step plans because the first step is admitting you have a problem and we'll have problems when I started working in business news. I felt like total impostor because I got myself in debt I got myself in five thousand dollars of credit card debt. And as like an immigrant's daughter I was still trying to keep cash under my seeing. Because that's what we did but at the same time. Like I was accumulating interest and he didn't know how compounding interest worked all of that stuff so I just got myself out of it the hard way and I broke it down into steps. And that's what really helped me. So five thousand dollars was twenty five hundred dollars a year and then I wrote it down by the month. A broken down by the day was seven dollars a day and to that felt more manageable than like an overwhelming five thousand dollars and so I think generally when we were talking about finances. When you're talking about business it feels so overwhelming unless you break it down into twelve stabs and within those steps like break it down into actionable steps that you can take so when you say that because in college I got my first credit card was the University of Pittsburgh Elia Card. I think they gave me an umbrella. Or A T. shirt as my sign up bonus time Clean Crowley God book to Spring Break to Ireland. I was making no money so clearly. Like a five hundred dollar balance was all of a sudden a thousand. After after college. When I moved to New York City I like it was quicksand. I couldn't pay rent. I mean then I had a bill from college A rise in bill that was sent to collections and they were going to garnish my wages. Like I was hot mess so it is kind of funny. Now when I'm like you know advising people on credit cards but I do think that actually going through the hell of debt and knowing the negative sides I think makes us better people to say look you have to be a credit card debt and I think that's what I always tried to make clear would like points. Yes credit cards can provide amazing value. But if you're not paying the interest and getting totally underwater with interest I always say that debt is the only four letter word. I don't like I mean bad debt. Right that's right. I know there's like good. Debt and bad debt. Avocados is good fat. So other advice like that you give to people who are just trying to get it together getting that debt monkey off your back is one of the chapters or one of the steps in rich bitch and I talk about how you should also prioritise to pulverize. So I think a lot of folks think that all data is created equal. And so when you see bill and you have one hundred bucks and you got a magical bill for a hundred bucks. You're like alcohol. Just got rid of that because feels really Cathartic. I'm done with this bill. The not the best thing to do. Because you should start with your credit card debt. I than if you have a car. Loan of course tackle that you don't WanNa panted appreciating asset And then if you have a mortgage and then finally our student which is considered good debt. Because they can take away your car they can take away. Your House. They can't take away your brain So I know you just got back from volume of course is the travel podcast. We'RE GONNA start talking travel. But how do you budget for travel like is it a line item is it a non-negotiable especially millennials and Jesse? Everything's about experience like how should be people thinking about budgeting for travel and trips so I think of a budget as a spending plan in the same way as you would think of a sustainable Eating plan as something that you can take two instead of like a crash diet so allowing yourself the equivalent of Hershey's kiss so you don't end up in the middle of the night and all she on a Bagel hunk of chocolate cake because you're so hungry and deprived we've all been there and so when people say cut out your morning law like I just want to Bash my head against the wall because it's such a nice nice bankrupted by their Makotot's like let me liew. I work really hard. I want some avocado toast and a Soy. Latte or whatever milk law but I think if you break it down into I love letter. Ration- The threes so essentials and game an extras Su. Seventy percent of your overall spending plan. Go to the essential so your food or transportation and your housing everything you need to live on every single day then fifteen percent should go to the end game so the future Brian. Your investments retirement all of that and then fifteen percents should go to the extras. Like you have to allow yourself for extras whether it's travel whether it's the law tae whether it's the many petty whether it's like avocado toast for everybody. Whatever does it for you like. Allow yourself fun. Otherwise we're going to bench later on because people will say to me in the beginning the early in the morning doing so great and then four months later about the Gucci Prada by the. Hello captain obvious. Just got a lot every day. You keep yourself motivated. Have that small indulgence. Binge later on. So that's what I do with travel and then I also like name my sub savings
This Is Only A Test
Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure Review: A Fun Way To Exercise
"I have a new game in home for the Nintendo switch and I have been waiting to talk about it. Louise's mansion no. Do you have that and yet here. That's very good to know. It's a fitness game. Called Ring Fit. God You have this. This is the the ring. Yeah yeah this is. This is the the we fit for them. Switch the shake weight for the switch right so apparently there is something caller one Thai independent edit. What are you talking about? There's only one ring you can't work both sides that's how it works so apparently there's something called pilates. Okay tell me more and would you like to know more and they use a ring for a lot of the exercises and Nintendo took this ring which is like a foot and a half in diameter. So we're not talking about like hula-hoop style. Daio big ring. This is literally like discs of Tron style like Frisbee. This is bigger than that those bigger. But it's not solid is a hoop yes and Dan. You attach one of the joy cons to the top of it and then you attach the other one too little strap that goes on your thigh and then the game senses how much you're uh pressing compressing this ring and how far you're stretching in a park based on what pressures i. I have not actually investigated that. Because I'm curious I thought maybe it was using the IRA thing to measure. How much sees is the ring passive or are they think it might be active? I think that might have like some sort of resistor censoring or you know how with some your hand controllers menace Vr. They put ben exactly and so then and those six exists is relatively cheap that can detect. How much fend for? Yes and I think those were resistance. That might be how it's working because it's quite accurate. The other one is on your legs Hook into how how much you're spending your your knees. How whether you're sitting or not no kind of your Benny? Then you basically play these games where it's You know a really stripped down roleplaying roleplaying game we were running through the world. And you're physically running and then you're using the hoop to vacuum up coins and eventually fight bad guys and my kids. I have nine and a and a twelve year old. He's almost thirteen and they're crazy about it. Yeah I mean you gotTa understand my kids. Don't come home and want to exercise like that is not on their radar. They WANNA play pistol whipped but they WANNA play this game like every day. What are the mini games? Are they party. Game Style Mini Games. Are they more fitness into our mini games but the the adventure of rank fifth adventure is more of just like you're going from one. Set of bad guys is to the next boss food. You're suggesting it's actually good game the game. Whatever it's got mechanics? The kids like these days which is a leveling system micro transaction. That's and yeah basically like minecraft light roleplaying. Like I don't even know if there's collectibles in this game like that and they're still boxes. I'm blown away by calorie drops. How successful this game is my? My wife is also played at it. Even takes your pulse using the I. R. Censor. Oh enlighten you put your thumb up on it and it can get away man. That's all over the place it's super. It's super great. I mean I'm really happy to see everyone using. I'm I'm the only one who haven't used it yet. Like this seems exactly and when we make the analogy of Nintendo switches. Obviously we're kick starter idea like this seems like a weird kickstarter Prada era except it's built into the functionality of one of the most successful video game consoles of this generation yeah right and the the switch who could have imagined when they original design the switch with the idea of being. Okay you could play has a hand held or the players the TV. That was the selling point a dual function in game console now also works for VR. Lights also works worth cardboard accessories also works fitness. That's ingenious it doesn't work with the new even though does it because the new one this it doesn't have the controllers that come off. Yeah interesting you know. It looks like a steering wheel. Yes thing they should make it like adaptable. The Mario Kart to Oh and you can play on like aggressive. DRIFTER tilt by a compressed days ago but then there's like resistance to it so you feel feel the effects of going around those why it should be a little more of an open platform but it's not intended. I'm open for work. It's just. It's interesting because I less than a month ago. I tweeted Interest in workout video games and your elliptical treadmills. The video games. Yeah Yeah and I got a couple of suggestions but nobody mentioned this and here it
