A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 11/8/23
"Live or Memorex, that is the great Minnie Riperton. You were 15, Mike. Remember that on the radio? I do remember that. Loving you. The Tweety Birds in the background made it an easy song to make fun of. It seemed like a very shallow lyric to me. Loving you is easy because you're beautiful. I know. Is that really where you want to... That's it? I mean, how shallow and superficial are you? What if you got like a big old mole on your cheek? Bad skin. Dermatological. Anyway, the great Minnie Riperton would have been 76 today. Famous, famous daughter, do you know? The gal from Saturday Night Live? Yes, the wonder, wonderful comic actress Maya Rudolph. Maya Rudolph. I was forgetting her first name. Bridesmaids, dude. Oh my gosh. If you're ever in a bad mood, you rent bridesmaids. Just watch Bridesmaids. That's a little crass, a little crude, especially the bridal shop suite. Oh, it's happening. It's happening. It's happening. Look away. Look away. In the middle of the street with a digestive issue. Oh my goodness. Hey, listen, I've got digestive issues this morning after. I didn't know what my expectations were. They were not high. It's Ohio and you figure, well, maybe they're not up for baby killing, but they were. And I think that the weed vote, the legal pot vote brought out all the young stupid people and that's how you get your abortion advocacy in Ohio. Listen, let me just let you talk because as pro -lifers, we've got a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do and that's why tonight's debate is part of the process. We're in the spin room right now and I'm just getting ready for interesting dueling events. You've got Trump down the street in Hialeah. You have five candidates on this stage tonight and I hope that they bring this up. I hope they bring up the abortion problem that the Republican Party has and that's all anybody's talking about. What do you want them to say? Well, we have to say something differently because every single election has gone down in flames since Roe v. Wade was overturned. And we got a battle going on within the party and I want to give you a little preview tonight because I got a chance to visit with Hugh Hewitt last night. He gave me some tips about what to look for as he's been here in preparation. He's one of the moderators. Salem Media Group, our parent company, is the official radio partner along with NBC, Rumble, and the Republican Jewish Coalition for tonight's third GOP presidential debate and five candidates are going to be on that stage. One thing I know for sure, they're going to have a decidedly somber tone tonight. They're going to be serious. We know with Hamas and the war in Israel and, frankly, with the shellacking that the GOP took last night, particularly in Virginia, Republicans have a ton of work to do. And the abortion problem has to be dealt with. There's no way around it. You can stomp your feet and you can say, I'm a proud pro -life American and I'm not going to bend or you're going to never win another election again. Abortion is winning for the Democrats, Mark. Now, those of you who say I'm pro -life and I'm not going to give an inch, I respect it. I admire it. I wish I wish the world worked that way. I'm sickened to say this. America's in love with abortion in this country. Find somebody in your life to love you the way Democrats love abortion. And increasingly, non -ideological folks in the squishy, mushy middle, they just flip a coin and go, all of the things being equal. I want abortion. Right. That's where we have a lot of work to do. And brow beating those people isn't going to work anymore, Mark, sitting around calling them baby killers, et cetera, et cetera. No, it just isn't going to work. Well, no, but it is what the procedure is. But I don't ever want to antagonize people. And I know you're right. In fact, let me let you finish, because I just want to see if you're wanting our Republican field to simply be demonstrably less pro -life to say, you know what, maybe we do need to allow more abortions in the following way, because I don't – No, I think I really do believe it comes down to the messaging. I don't know that Republicans – first of all, millions and millions of dollars of outside money were poured into Ohio last night by radical abortionists who convinced women that you're losing a fundamental right if you vote no on this horrific, radical – I mean, abortion now in Ohio is legal literally to the moment of conception. And in fact, parents now – Moment of birth. Moment of birth, I mean. And incidentally, parents don't even have a say in a minor child's decision to abort a baby. Now, you've got to give an okay to get a tattoo in Ohio. Yeah, exactly. Get a Tylenol in your high school. That's right. But not to get an abortion. But we lost. We got thumped on this. We got thumped on this. And we've gotten thumped on it every single time, Mark. It's not a close call. Something isn't working and Democrats are going to embrace this going into 2024. Does that mean you become decidedly pro -life? Well, I think for starters, you change the messaging as best you can. But I'm afraid that the answer you're not going to want to hear is, yeah, probably so. In 10 seconds, I think you meant decidedly pro -choice. No. Decidedly – do we become decidedly less pro -life? Yeah, less pro -life. Yeah. Do we become decidedly less pro -life? And that's the horrific reality of – how many times is it going to have to happen, Mark? How many times are we going to say, well, we're losing another election. We've lost every single election on the abortion issue since Roe v. Wade was overturned. And Mark, with all due respect, I love you. It's not just Democrats. It's not just squishy Republicans. It's women. It's women voters who believe they are – that somehow this right that is enshrined in the Constitution – oh, and oh, by the way, it's not – is being taken from them. And it's not – we just – we're not going to win by wagging our fingers at the people who don't see the world. You and I aren't where the country is on this, Mark. We're not. We are where conservatives are. And so the question becomes – and by the way, everything you've said is true and plausible and supportable. So, as we look at a presidential election and some folks on a debate stage tonight in a country where now it is left to the states, what Ohio did last night is precisely the way America goes in post -Roe v. Wade America. That's what we said we wanted. And we knew full well that there would be states that did things that we liked and states that did things that we didn't. How about if the candidates we have – and it's kind of interesting. I don't know how pro -life Chris Christie is. I know DeSantis is. I think Nikki Haley is. I sure know Tim Scott is. I think Vivek is. So should they express their – maybe satisfaction is the wrong word – their acceptance of post -Roe v. Wade America, where states are going to do what they wish to do and Ohio can do what they wish to do, but that they are going to continue to be a voice and use their presidential bully pulpit to say that protecting life is a better way, while saying that the states can do what they want to do? Well, I'm not going to be president of Ohio. I'm not going to be president of Nevada. I'm not going to be – etc. Go ahead. But that's happening. That's happening. Let me tell you. Well, let me break it to you. Roe v. Wade being overturned meant that states get to decide what to do. States are deciding what to do and they're pro -abortion. Yes. They are. Every single state. There's not a state that's deciding in favor of the pro -life movement. You know, you can say, well, we're the good conservatives in this. Except, except, except heartbeat bills, heartbeat bills, heartbeat bills in Florida, in Texas, in other states. So – Well, but that's not legislation that conflicts with what is perceived to be a woman's right to choose an abortion being taken from her. You're so right. I mean, Glenn Youngkin has floated the 15 -week idea. And let's talk about Glenn Youngkin, incidentally, because there were high hopes for Virginia. And hey, Virginia, we got our butts kicked. I mean, they flipped the legislature. They didn't even – in fact, that wasn't even on the radar. They were hoping – we were hoping that Glenn Youngkin would lead a flip of the Senate over there. They lost it all. They lost the whole state legislature. Guess what? Glenn Youngkin is no longer going to be considered a candidate for president. I've got a buddy here – Well, he never was. Well, but keep an eye on him. He's not – Not this year. I mean, does he have a future? Of course he does. Look at him at 2028. But I have a guy here, Alfredo Ortiz, who's a dear friend, the CEO of Job Creators Network, and he had a theory. In fact, he's going to be with me tomorrow here in Miami. They're sponsoring our broadcast from the post -debate spin room. Alfredo said, if Virginia has a huge night last night, Glenn Youngkin will throw his hat in the ring as the 11th -hour savior of the Republican Party. Wouldn't matter. There's no room. That would be – It's too late. That would be – It's too late. It wouldn't matter. But anyway, he got shellacked. I mean, it was a bad night for him. It was a bad night for the GOP, and there's no way around it. Hey, Tate Reeves is still governor of Mississippi, yay. We kept one. We got that. We got that. We got some – and Joe Biden is still dropping like a rock in all the polls. And Trump is rocking and rolling and continues to lead in five swing states. So there's just data all over the place that are mixed as to what 2024 is going to look like. But you get an interesting view at five people who really want to catch Trump, and not a single one of them probably will. But it'll be fun to watch anyway. What do you think happens tonight? Yeah, it'll be kind of – What's the headline? What do you think? I'm going to keep an eye on Chris Christie because I'm just praying he starts screaming at his own audience and they start booing him. Exactly. And they start throwing orange peels and banana peels at him. I mean, that thing in Orlando, I played that clip. I'm sure you did, too. Sure. Oh, my. Have you ever seen a public – And what's the word again? I'm sorry. Your failure to embrace the truth is – Reprehensible. Thank you. I keep going deplorable, but that was Hillary, and we'd see how great that worked out for her. No, no. Reprehensible. Reprehensible. When you're talking to your own people – Yes. And calling them reprehensible – The people you're trying to get to vote for you, ideally. Not a good look. And I think – and interestingly, Hewitt and I last night, we had a great Salem party. And listen, we're very proud of this. I mean, say what you will about the meaninglessness. It's a big deal for us. Of course it is. For Salem to partner with NBC, and Hugh's going to be on that stage. Which means at least one conservative will be asking questions. Exactly. While Kristen Welker asks everybody about January 6th, at least Hugh will be there. And let me give you a scoop. Hugh is exhausted. Last night was the ninth rehearsal they had for this debate. I said nine? How do you rehearse? What do you do? You put staffers up at various lecterns and have ads just to kind of get through the drill? They put a couple hundred people in the audience. They test these guys because he – and he said Lester Holt and Kristen Welker have been just pros. He said Kristen's kind of the new kid on the block, but Lester's a veteran journalist. But they've got to be ready for everything. I mean, Hugh's ready for eruptions from the audience and how do you handle that and how do you interact. Anyway, they've had nine rehearsals for tonight's debate. And also, Hugh gave me a scoop. He said, watch DeSantis' performance. He has just hired fairly recently one of the best debate preparers in the business. I don't – I forgot the guy's name. I'll try to get it. I think it's Brad. I could not care less. Well, I know. But it's – Binders don't matter. Prep doesn't matter. DeSantis is DeSantis and he's wonderful. He's not Trump. DeSantis' worst problem is that Trump exists. I'll never forget the caller or the person who tweeted or something said that the only problem with DeSantis is he was not the best president of my lifetime. And Trump was. Trump exists. There's nothing the matter with DeSantis. There's nothing wrong with Nikki Haley except she's the queen of forever war. You heard Nikki Haley the other day saying the people who will abandon Ukraine are the people who will give up on Israel. Shut up, man. That's not smart. That's not a smart thing. But I can't wait. I know it may not matter at all. It's half the interest if Trump were there. Trump will be there down the road in Hialeah, you said, right? Heavily Cuban -American population there. That's going to be fun. And he's loved in Hialeah. Well, we'll be in the Spin Room tonight beginning about 6 p .m. Central Time. We'll have pre -debate coverage. Let's watch you. Let's watch you. Tell everybody how to watch you. Well, listen to us on the radio. I'm pretty sure we'll be on AM 660 The Answer tonight. As the radio partners, we're going to be here at 6 p .m. prior to the debate. The debate will be aired live and then I'll be in the Spin Room post -debate, hopefully talking to all the candidates or many of them in the Spin Room here. And you could also watch us on Salem News Channel pre - and post -debate. So it's going to be a big night, you know? And we're ready to go. And then I'll be back tomorrow here in Miami with you to wrap everything up. Is that room? Because it's funny, we've all done conventions, like convention coverage and the entire week of doing broadcasting from a convention. And the morning after the convention is like done, you and I still have shows to do. But all you can hear is the pipes and the drapes and just the clang, clang. I will not be here. As the trucks are off. But what in the world is that room, that beautiful room you're in? I won't know. It's beautiful now. It'll be rock and roll and post -debate. What's that thing? Are you just going to be run over by workers and forklifts tomorrow? I won't know because I'm not going to be here. I'll be at Salem, Miami. I'm going to be a few miles away at a nice comfy radio studio. There you go. We'll be at the Salem Radio Miami studio. Excellent. That's a very smart decision. I'll see you tomorrow, my friend. Here we go. We're ready for you. It's a big day and night of Mike. Can't wait for his show. The next up, the first thing you need to consume is Mike's own radio program. And that's at 10.

Coming up, we're gonna have Rob Mahoney talking after the two Thursday night TNT NBA games. We're gonna react to basically everything we've seen for the last three days. Just things that have jumped out to us. And then Peter Schrager is gonna come on and talk about the NFL. Do we have a best team? What are we noticing through seven weeks? What can we expect in week eight that will lead to million dollar picks? And that is today's podcast. Let's bring in our friends from Pearl Jam. Here we go. All right, we're taping this. It's almost 10 o 'clock on Thursday night, Pacific time. Rob Mahoney is here from The Ringer NBA and showing TheRinger .com. We stayed up late because these were two good games. We've had three straight days of very entertaining basketball and we gotta start with the biggest story. Kelly Oubre in the Sixers. What a signing that was, he looks great. No, we just watched LeBron versus the Suns. LeBron's 29 minute limit I think is out the window. He played the whole fourth quarter. And then made the two big head down just going to the basket plays at the end. But biggest thing that's jumped out to you in the last three days is what? Lakers wise or just in general? In general. I think a lot of these teams that we expect to be really good clearly have some assembly required. And the Lakers are one of those teams. I think we saw that from the Bucks and the Sixers tonight too. We're seeing it certainly with the first days of the Victor Webinama experience. Everyone is getting up to speed into their rhythms, trying to understand how all these new pieces fit together. Not revelatory for the opening days of the season to feel that way, but I think even some of the stuff that personally I thought was going to be seamless, like the Giannis, Dame pick and roll, there's some kinks in it that they're going to have to figure out over time. Lakers I thought were the one that surprised me on that one because I thought they were one of the teams that were going to have the advantage coming in. You think about last year's team compared to this year's team. It doesn't seem like Reeves is involved enough either game that, I don't want to say he's an afterthought, but it just felt like he was more in the mix in the playoffs last year. And I liked what Schroeder did for them last year and he was good on Toronto last night and really fit in with what they did. So they're going to have to figure out that Vincent D 'Lo thing. Wood was playing crunch time, which I was really surprised. Did you think we'd be getting this much Christian Wood? I thought that was like a flyer for them. Guarding Kevin Durant on some possessions, wild stuff. But if nothing else, we can trust that when Christian Wood is out there, he will be Christian Wood. In these uncertain times, we can always fall back on that. He certainly had his fair share of like black hole kind of possessions in this game, but he also does play into the Lakers advantages in terms of their length, right? Their size against a team like Phoenix, they're just going to be able to out muscle, get to rebounds, get to balls that they can't get to. So that part of it paid off, I thought in terms of just like having another big out there and certainly the Anthony Davis experiment continues as far as like, do you want more size with him? Do you want to play small with him? There's always that internal question because he seems a little reluctant to do it on a full -time basis, but I'm sure Christian Wood's going to get his shots. I mean, clearly Jackson Hayes is going to get some shots in the rotation to be a meaningful part of the Lakers, the mix there for the Lakers. So I don't know. I think Darvin Ham has a lot of questions to figure out, including the one you listed with Austin Reeves, which is like, who has the ball? Who's initiating for us? Who is involved on a possession to possession basis? Because this game, this was a lot of D 'Angelo Russell, and it was a lot of a better version of D 'Angelo Russell than maybe we saw the other night, but it still feels like a lot. 33 minutes for him tonight. Yeah, Reeves, seven shots, one assist. And I thought all of his usage stuff was going to go up, but it seems like it drifted Russell's way. The other thing I was surprised, I thought Rui was going to be a bigger part of this team. I only played 12 minutes, but I haven't changed my thought on them. They're just such a big, problematic team. And if you're the Suns and you're feeling good after that Warriors game, right? And the Warriors, no Draymond, they were able to overpower them a little on the boards. The two centers had 22. And then tonight you see the flip side of the use of Nurkic experience, where it's like, you're getting zero room protection and you're getting somebody who's just going to be confused anytime somebody is coming off a pick. Basically Lebron at the end of the game just said, I'm going to go attack that guy. Yeah, I'm going to go attack that guy right there. Durant was better tonight, at least for the first three quarters that he looked on Tuesday night. It was really cool just seeing those guys on a basketball court after all these years. As I get older, I'm older than you, but just think like, man, this goes way back now. We're talking mid 2000s was the first time these two guys played basketball against each other and it's still going on. So that was in a cool way kind of lingering over this game. I was enjoying that one. How do you think Durant looks in terms of being a 35 year old guy who they gave up three first rounders and two swaps and Mikhail Bridges and Cam Johnson for? It feels like a slightly loaded question. Yeah. He's looked good. And certainly as you said, the first three quarters of this game looked more than good enough. I think the problem was just like this version of the Suns like felt very James Harden is hurt and Kyrie Irving won't get the shot. Nets, you know, just like Kevin Durant and a bunch of like - I blocked that net out of my mind. I think a lot of us have tried to, but you know, him with a lot of like serviceable workaday role players can get you so far. But as you saw on this one, against a really good defensive team like the Lakers in the fourth quarter, they can just shut the water off. And this is where, you know, I'm nervous about the Suns for a variety of reasons. I think if it was just the defense or just the depth or just the injury risk of their core guys, I would feel better. But it's all of the above all the time. And that's going to put Durant in some games like this one. It's going to put Yusef Nurkic in positions like this one where all of a sudden he's triggering your offense because you don't really have a default point guard out there. And sometimes the value of having a point guard in your rotation, I don't think it's really going to matter when Beal and Booker and Durant are playing together. Those guys can all handle and play make and do everything they need to do. But in a game like this, where two of those guys are out, sometimes it helps to just be able to run some offense that doesn't have to involve Kevin Durant pounding the rock through pick and roll. Yeah, 28 shots for him today. 13 including, and then 13 free throws. He played 39 minutes and was also playing the five in stretches. And this is game two. They had to basically try to unlock 2007 Texas Longhorns Durant. That's the last guy I want to be throwing miles on, maybe in the entire league other than LeBron. Cause he's, you know. That's going to be true for Booker and Beal too, right? Like when any of these guys are out, those three, whoever's left is going to have to play huge minutes or else you get into Grayson Allen and Drew Eubanks are playing like a massive role in your rotation. And I like those guys. I like Drew Eubanks. Maybe not like tamper and lose a second round pick like Drew Eubanks, like some teams do, but. I'd lose 50K for him. Maybe not a second round pick. It's a little steep. Yeah. The other game, Milwaukee Philly. So no Harden. I wish there was a way to just mute the entire Harden story of all coverage for it. Anything online, anything on Twitter, all conversations. I just don't want to hear it anymore. And I don't think he has any interest in playing. And I just think, just tell us when he gets traded. Their best chance now, now that the, especially the Clippers last night looked great.

And so our ambassadorship in Madison is still relatively new. The race that we just did this past weekend actually celebrates our two years in Madison, which is super exciting. So we're still in the process of developing a stronger community of runners that are able to run those distances. And so we haven't got the chance to do them yet. I actually myself am doing my first half marathons, hopefully in the future be able to do Nancy's Angels half marathon this November. And so we do have different locations that will partake in half marathons, marathons, all different distances for sure, all different ability levels are welcome. And yeah, we just we want to get people involved as much as we can in all different types of races. That's so fantastic. So how are you included in the UW Adaptive Fitness? Is that just where you like work or whatever and then this came along the way? Or is are they connected in any way Ainsley's Angels and the adaptive community at UW? Yeah, no, we're not affiliated in any way. It's just a great resource in the community for us to find angel riders. And so every location is different where they'll reach out that is just some place that we have found works very well for us to find different riders. A lot of people also reach out to like local physical therapy clinics and things like that to find riders. It all depends on the location and their need for more riders and how to find ways to grow the community. Okay, so we're almost looking more for riders than runners at this point, the pushers, I should say. Yeah. I mean, we're very fortunate that we have a lot of runners in the area. Madison is a very active community. And so people are very willing to run even there's some races that we've done in the past where we didn't necessarily have the amount of runners that we would like. Like you said, there was that one race that we had six runners per chair just about. But we have had others where there's not as many and we do like to try and have more runners to riders for the ratio, just so that no one feels like they're pressured to run too fast. Or if it's their first time pushing, we don't want it to be too much of a hassle on them when they're not used to doing that, because it's a totally different way of running. And so we have a lot of runners in the community. But finding riders expanding that community is always something we want to do more of to finding people to connect them with this opportunity. Awesome. So we need to grow both sides regardless. Yes, absolutely. We just want to expand the community as much as we can give people a sense of belonging in the running community. Sure. How far outside of Madison have you gone for the races? Or are you only staying within Madison? You know, because I know like Nuclearis will have a race and things like that. Do you go out that far? Yes, we've gone just a bit outside of the Madison area. So I'd say most of our races are Verona, Madison, Middleton. I believe they have done a couple in Nuclearis prior to myself joining. But yeah, it is very limited. So like I said, always looking for people to take it on in further locations if they have any interest in bringing that to their community. How can the race directors that might be listening help? Yeah, so we are always looking to partake in more races. Like I said, we try and do a couple events a month or one every couple of weeks. And so a lot of times we'll try and look for races in the community that are coming up that we can perhaps get involved with. But we're always welcome for races to reach out to us as well if they want to promote this inclusivity at their race event. And so a lot of times when we'll reach out, we're very fortunate that the race directors are very understanding and they want to make sure everyone's included. So a lot of times they provide discount codes for the riders and oftentimes runners as well just to help get them involved and allow them to be a part of race day because they don't want price to be a barrier to this at all either. Yeah, I really appreciated that for the two races that I've signed up for is that race discount. That was very generous. I really appreciated that because as a rule, I'm not a 5k'er or a 10k'er because you typically want to run those a little faster. And normally I am a fairly slower runner because I do longer distances. But my teammate on this last one, she was a little firecracker, Angela. And we tore up that course, in my opinion. I was running way outside of my means, but we were a good fit. I hope to always be paired with her. We had a great time and Liam was a blast. Just his yee-haw down every hill was fantastic. It made you want to go fast. It made me reach out where I shouldn't have been running. Yeah, no, I remember you and Angela really fired through it. I remember I only ran the 5k'er that day and I remember all of a sudden seeing you. I wasn't expecting you two to finish that fast, but you made a team for Liam and I am sure he appreciated that. He loves to go fast. Liam was actually our first rider in Madison, so he's there at almost every race day and always brings a lot of energy. It's so amazing. Yeah, he was a lot of fun. I definitely ran outside my means that day, but it was a race. That's what you're supposed to do. We made it. We pushed hard and it was fun. We had a lot of fun. So what is the next event that you have coming up? The next couple, because this isn't going to drop for a week or so. What are the next couple that people can maybe set their sights on? Yeah, absolutely. So we have a couple more coming up in October. Our next one is going to be the Trick or Trot 5k and this one takes place in Madison at 1pm and it's just another fun event to get involved in. This is another one that we're very fortunate that the race director is generous enough and was able to provide a discount code for our runners and riders. So anyone who does get involved with ANSI's Angels is able to participate for free. We have another one the following weekend on the 21st called the Haunted Hustle. That one's a 5k and a 10k event and takes place at 10am in Middleton. We're still waiting to hear back from the race directors on a discount code. They were very gracious though and did say that they would provide us with one. Just our communications have been a little tricky lately, but we will absolutely be partaking in that race and we're greatly looking forward to that. And then following that on November 4th, we have one in Wanaki at 9am. That one we also we have partaken in Girls on the Run for quite some time now, quite a popular organization. And they also have provided us a discount code for runners and riders. So very fortunate to have some amazing race directors in our community that are understanding of our mission and help to get us as involved as possible in their races. That is so sweet of them to allow the runner and the rider to participate for free because you're right, a lot of people wouldn't be able to do it because of that. So that's very generous of them. So how else? So let's say I'm not a rider, I'm not a runner. How else can I participate in your organization? Yeah, so we, like I said, we have our Angel Riders, our Angel Runners, and we also have our Guardian Angels. So Guardian Angels are our number one supporters. A lot of times they're associated with the Angel Riders, helping get them to our races. But we also enjoy having people help us set up with our merchandise. So at our events, we try and sell merchandise just to bring in more donations, like I said, covering the cost of those chairs most of the time because they're not exactly cheap. We also like to help pay for rates cost for people that it might be an issue for, for when we're unable to get discount codes for races. And so that's a big way that Angels can help out if they're not looking to run or to ride. We also have social media, so we are always looking for people to share that out, always looking to take in more donations, anything like that. And is there a donation button right there on the AinsleyAngels.org website? Yes, there is a donation button on our website. And you can choose to donate to the organization as a whole, or you can choose a specific location. So if you partake in anywhere, like in Madison, you can specifically look up that location. And those funds then will go directly to us. So helping us to get more chairs, more funding in the Madison location. Awesome. Well, I think that's what everyone should do is only donate to the Madison. I'm biased, though. I'm a little biased, too. I don't want to say that. But if you're listening from somewhere else, I understand. I don't understand, however. Just donate to Madison.So we need for all the listeners to look you up in whatever state they're in and see if there's an organization there. Go have some fun and run. If they have a rider, go have some fun and let that person run. Or ride, I should say. What other great words of wisdom would you like these listeners to know? I think it's just, I mean, the running community has been so inclusive, in my opinion, just since I have joined it. Just going for my long runs and my training. Other runners are always so encouraging. And I think just a next step in that is just helping people with diverse abilities that otherwise wouldn't be able to be involved, be involved. Just continuing to support people at different paces, different levels in their running experience. Just continuing to be inclusive to everyone. Greater words were never spoken. Well, Haley, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to be on the podcast. We'll get this out there so everyone can hear about this great organization. And hopefully, go push assist. It is so much fun, friends. Honestly, you need to go and try. And you get a break. You don't have to push the whole way. You have options. So I hope everybody will do that. So thanks again for being on the podcast, Haley. And I will look forward to our next race together. Yes, thank you so much for having me, Carla. Can't wait to race with you again. Alright, bye-bye now. Alright, friends. Thank you for listening. Don't forget to follow, share, and rate this program. And we'll see you next time. Thank you.

"Hello, and welcome back to Over the Next Hill Fitness podcast. I'm Karla Coffey, your coach and host for today's episode.

And also, if you're interested, because doing those things just isn't enough for you, you can buy me a cup of coffee. There's a link for that at the end of the notes as well. So today we are talking to Haley Reeves. She is an ambassador for Ainsley's Angels. Let's learn all about what Ainsley's Angels is and how you might be able to get involved. Welcome to the show, Haley. Hi, Carla. Thank you so much for having me today. It's great to have you here. My name is Haley. I'm one of the co-ambassadors for Ainsley's Angels in Madison, Wisconsin. Yeah, so I don't know if you picked up on me. That's a mouthful for me to say Ainsley's Angels. That is so tough. Tell me about the name, first of all. Yeah, of course. So Ainsley's Angels actually originated quite a few years ago with a family based out of Louisiana. They had a daughter named Ainsley, which is who the organization is named after. And in 2003, she was diagnosed with INED, which is Infantile Neuroaxion Dystrophy. So it's a condition that made her unable to partake in a lot of activities. And the father, Kim Rooster, he always had a passion for running and he found a way to make her included and to get her involved with the family. And so they got this adapted wheelchair and it allowed them to run together and it brought so much joy to Ainsley to be able to partake in these runs with her dad. And over time, it developed that other people in the area also found interest in this. Other people with different disabilities that prevented them to being able to run themselves. And so Kim connected them with how he got these wheelchairs and it kind of grew from there. So Ainsley, who the organization is named after, sadly passed away in 2016, but they continued on this organization and her namesake. So it has grown across 30 states to 70 different locations, one of them being in Madison, which is where I am. Wow, that is really interesting. I was going to ask you if there were other states, because how I got involved was I saw my friends pushing for a different organization. I'm like, I want to try that. So I looked up, I don't know what I think, I just put in wheelchair push assist or something, and this popped up and I got in contact with you. And so now I'm able to go and help push these athletes for these races. How did you get involved with it? Yeah, I am so glad that you joined the organization and that's how we were able to meet. I'm sure you can speak on it too, but it's just a totally different aspect of running compared to other races getting to help include other individuals that otherwise wouldn't be able to be part of race day. I myself got involved in it while I was in college at UW Madison. I was involved with this adaptive fitness program and then through that I got to partake in a lot of different adaptive recreation and Riley, the founding ambassador of Ansley's Angels in Madison, who is actually the sister of Ansley herself. She came in to speak to our organization like a couple of times and one of my friends who was more involved in it, he told me one time last minute they were short a runner for this race and I honestly never really considered myself a runner before that, but I was like, you know what, this seems like a good experience for me. It'll challenge me to push someone, but it seems something good to be involved in. So I went to this race and I fell in love with it. I got a good connection with some of the riders that partake in the races and some of the other runners. And so then I just kept continuing to partake in races. Our old ambassador moved away just a couple of months ago and so to keep this inclusivity alive in Madison, we didn't want the program to die out. So I chose to take over the ambassadorship and I'm very glad that I did. It's an amazing opportunity. That's really great. I think about the race we just had this past weekend and how Liam was just so thrilled. Every time we'd go down the hills, and there were a lot of hills in this race, he would go, yee-haw, and it just brings you so much joy to bring them joy because I'm going to run anyways, right? So if I can help someone else have fun too, I love the inclusivity of that. Tell me more about the athletes that we're pushing. How did they get involved and what is kind of like their backstory? For some of them, I'm sure you don't know all. Yeah, absolutely. So there's a lot of different... Our riders actually are found through the UW Madison Adaptive Fitness Program. We get a lot of people at the university. They're with different ability levels. And they're always trying to find more ways to get involved in the community because sometimes resources to get involved can be very limited. So super awesome that we have this program. We'll also go to a lot of expos and disability pride festivals. I went to one earlier this year. Carla also came to help out at that. And just meeting new people in the community that could benefit from getting to be involved in their community as well through these races. So with Ainsley's Angels, was that predominantly so that Ainsley could be included in things? Is that how it started and now it's just even bigger and now you're reaching out to get these other athletes but also showing them where to get the wheelchairs? How was all that all tied in? Yeah, so it started off as just a family thing. It was a great connection. It really brought the family together. And it just brought her so much joy. And it helped this family realize that this can bring joy to a lot of other people too that don't feel they necessarily have that sense of belonging in the race community or in the running community. And so they wanted to help people be able to be included. And so our mission is not only with running, though it does fall predominantly there. Like our Madison ambassadorship focuses largely on running. But there are other locations that will do triathlons and things like that as well to get people involved. But we do try and help people connect them to find the chairs. But we also want to try and help people just be involved in general. We know these chairs aren't very cheap. We have a couple different models that we'll use. And some are thousands of dollars that can be very difficult to pay for on top of other medical expenses, other expenses for transportation and such that people face. So we try and do these events every couple of weeks just to give people this opportunity to connect with their community in that. So if I'm an athlete that wants to be included in this as a rider, do I have to have my own wheelchair? Or can I rent one from Ainsley's Angels? How does that work? Yeah, so we do try and connect people with grants. We are a nonprofit organization, so we do want to give back to the community as much as possible. So we do help some people purchase chairs if they're not necessarily looking to partake in events with us. They just want to connect with their families more and be able to take their partners, their friends, their family members out on runs. We'll try and help connect them with the chairs. Otherwise, each ambassadorship, a large part of the donations that we bring in are used to purchase chairs that we'll use at our different events. So we have five chairs. We're about to get a sixth chair for in the Madison location that we use ourselves for races. But we have also helped families in the area get chairs as well. I see. So not only are you there to help include people in the races, you're just there as a person or a community trying to help the community be more active with more chairs and how to get those resources. Because I imagine if you don't have connections as the family household, seeing something like this, this would give you, oh, hey, I need to ask these people on where they got that and how do I do this. So you're there just for that resource as well. Yes, yeah, absolutely. We just try and help people connect as much as we can to those resources because our biggest mission is to have inclusion without limits. And so we don't want the barrier of not being able to purchase a chair to keep anyone from being involved in running. Nice. So if I came with my family member and I didn't have a chair on race day, you could just put my family member in that race chair and they'd be able to participate? Do I have to sign up early for that? How does that work? Yeah, so we ask that people that are looking to partake in races with us join our Anzley's Angels page. Like I said, we have a limited amount of chairs and at least in Madison, I'm sure with all the other locations as well, our Anzley's Angels family is always growing. And so sometimes all of our chairs are full. So just like counting on coming on race day, looking for that chair can be a bit difficult. And we do like to keep track of everyone who's joining us just so we can let them know of other future events that they can hopefully come with in the future. So we do have a website, anzleysangels.org, that we ask our runners, our riders, guardian angels, which are usually the family members or like the transport team that are helping out as well to register on our website for the location that they're looking to partake in. Okay, cool. So I'll put that link in the show notes as well. So as a runner, as a push person, I can go to that same website and sign up or see what races are coming up and sign up? Yes, absolutely. Yeah, you can find all that information on our website. We also have Facebook pages for each state. I'm not for sure how much your audience branches out to. Like I said, we're across 30 different states, 70 different locations. I wish I could list all the states that we're in off the top of my head, but I cannot. But I highly recommend checking that out. And then on Facebook for each state, we do have a page that they also will post upcoming events coming up as well. Awesome. So here in Wisconsin, is Madison the only location that we have? Yes, Madison is the only one in Wisconsin, which is why it was really important to keep this ambassadorship going here after Briley, our old ambassador, left because we really want to keep it alive in the state. We'd really love to keep seeing it grow in the state, but especially with Madison being that capital, the center point of our state, really important to keep that going. So my listeners, if they're really super interested, they actually possibly could be an ambassador wherever they live. Yes, absolutely. We're always looking for ambassadors in different locations if there's not one already set. So if running inclusivity really speaks to you, that'd be amazing. I'd love to talk with you. I'd love to connect you with Anzley's Angels page. We'd love to see that. Awesome. So just to go back a step, if I'm a runner, but maybe I'm a little slower, or even if I'm just a walker but I want to be included, are there limits as a push person that I have to run a certain speed in order to participate? Yeah, I really appreciate you bringing that up. That was a point I wanted to make for sure. So as I kind of spoke before, I haven't until recently after getting involved in this considered myself a runner. My pace still isn't quite up there. Not quite up to Carla's speeds or anything. We're two quite different runners, I would say, with all the marathons and everything that Carla has run. But we are very welcoming in every aspect, and we want to make sure that every rider, every runner feels that they belong. And so we tend to group people up based on their pace. So we do tend to ask people up front before the race what they feel like their pace might be for that day, just so we can try and group people up in similar teams so no one feels like they aren't going fast enough or like they're not comfortable at the pace that they're going. And so we want to make sure that we're as inclusive to our runners as we are to our riders. Okay, that's good to know. I was rather nervous my first push that I did, but we had a team of like six of us with one wheelchair. So that was really nice because you could take a little break and let somebody else do the pushing and you could team push up a hill, which was nice. Get a couple sets of hands on there to push someone up a hill. So yeah, that made it really nice for me.

She came in to speak to our organization like a couple of times and one of my friends who was more involved in it, he told me one time last minute they were short a runner for this race and I honestly never really considered myself a runner before that, but I was like, you know what, this seems like a good experience for me. It'll challenge me to push someone, but it seems something good to be involved in. So I went to this race and I fell in love with it. I got a good connection with some of the riders that partake in the races and some of the other runners. And so then I just kept continuing to partake in races. Our old ambassador moved away just a couple of months ago and so to keep this inclusivity alive in Madison, we didn't want the program to die out. So I chose to take over the ambassadorship and I'm very glad that I did. It's an amazing opportunity.

We're gonna do million dollar picks. And then old friend Seth Meyers talking about a whole bunch of stuff. So really good podcast. It's all next. First, our friends from Pro Jam. What's up? All right, I'm taping this on Thursday afternoon. Normally when there's a big MBA trade, I always do the emergency trade reaction right after the podcast. But we just put up a podcast on Tuesday. So I decided to play it a little differently this time. I wanted a little distance, I wanted to listen to stuff, read stuff, and try to form some big picture opinions coming out of this. So I have four smaller ones, then one big one. First one, I thought Portland did an incredible job with this trade. I really liked this trade, especially everyone was trying to bully them in June and July about, oh, you got to take Miami's offer. You just got to. It's where he wants to go. It's the only offer you're going to get. And guess what? They waited. They played it perfectly. They stared Miami down, and they got a much better deal. First of all, they get the Drew Holiday piece that they can flip into a bunch out of their stuff, which we'll talk about in one second. I love the DeAndre Ayton gamble. As you know, on this podcast, I am a big DeAndre Ayton guy. Not in the sense of I'm the biggest fan of his in the world, but I'm a fan of the asset. I just think I love the valued assets, no matter what it is. Whatever market we're talking about, DeAndre Ayton, 18 and 10 for his career, 60 % field goals percentage, 25 years old. He's played in 45 playoff games. He played four rounds in the 2021 finals. Last year, he got his ass kicked by Jokic. Oh, sorry. Like, that never happens. And Phoenix just sold on him, which I can't wait to talk about. But just from a Portland standpoint, they not only get Ayton in whatever they get for holiday, they get the 29 first, they get the two swaps, and they dump Nurkic. Nurkic hasn't had a healthy start to finish all the way through the playoffs here since 2018, which I'm positive was a long time ago. He's basically 12 and 8. He's, you know, a 50 % shooter. I made a list of the top 30 centers. I encourage you to do this at home, because what's more fun than making lists of NBA centers? I can't imagine anything. I made a list of who I thought were the best assets of the center position for talent, contract, everything. He was 29th on my list. The only person I had ahead of him who's technically a starter, unless you start talking about the Detroit or Charlotte guys, was Zubats on the Clippers. I thought he was the 29th best center asset in the league. And Phoenix, you know, just quickly to go to them, they're trying to win this year. They got worse. They turned Ayton's money into Nurkic and Grayson Allen and Nasir Little. Grayson Allen, we already know with him, he can't play in playoff series. We saw him 22. We saw it last year. I heard and read in some places like that, I got two rotation players. Did they? Is Nurkic a playoff rotation player? Is Grayson Allen a playoff rotation player? Because I'm positive he's not. So for the same money that they were spending on Ayton, they got three guys that I don't think are going to help them. In 25, the money comes down a little bit to 23 million just for Nurkic and Little, which is 7 million less than Ayton. And then in 26, that money goes up to 25 .5. But I don't understand what Phoenix was doing. Why not wait to see if Ayton clicks with Vogel? Vogel has such a good history with centers. He rejuvenated Dwight Howard on the 2020 Lakers. He basically created Roy Hibbert's career in 2013 with the defense verticality thing. I thought he was going to do a good job with Ayton. I'm stunned that they gave up on him. I'm almost waiting for one of those, now they tell us stories when, you know, that's where Brian Curtis calls them, where like a week after something happens, there's this kind of notebook dump where it's like, here's seven terrible DeAndre Ayton stories. So maybe that'll happen. But for Phoenix just to be like, cool, we locked this down, man. We got Nurkic. You're trying to win the title. You have KD and Booker and Beal. And like, what are you guys doing? Anyway, from Portland's standpoint, I love the Ayton thing. I love that they didn't get bullied. And I know they're going to turn Drew Holliday into something. So this to me was at least an A minus for them, for where they were two months ago, where Dave's like, I want to go to Miami. That's it. And if you don't trade me there, that's kind of fucked up. And they made this work as it got reported that, uh, I think in the athletic, that he expanded his list to Brooklyn and to Milwaukee in the last two weeks. And that's what Portland was waiting on. You know, they were banking on the fact that he's a competitive dude. He's one of the best 75 pairs ever. He wanted a situation settled. So, you know, you wait, you wait, you wait, they expand the list and then you go. Uh, there's a Drew Holliday piece to this. That's awesome. He becomes a contender prize. I wouldn't call this a Drew Holliday sweepstakes. I reserved sweepstakes for the superstars, but it's a mini sweepstakes. This is somebody that could have a huge impact on the playoff race. You know, not only the usual suspects, everybody's talking about Boston, ironically, Miami is a really good fit for him. And in some ways, um, I'm a little more scared of them with Miami than Dame in some ways, especially at a much cheaper contract with giving up less and keeping some of their assets. Philly, if they could pull it off, they have to be in there in Golden State, Minnesota. I think I have to mention Sacramento, I think is a team that if they could figure out how to get Drew without giving up their core, which is basically Keegan Murray and Sabonis and Fox, like that's, you know, could Davion Mitchell be in that trade with some, with a salary and some picks, who knows. The team that I love for Drew Holliday is OKC. I have OKC, you know, I started doing my MBA research for the over -under spot and I haven't landed on a number for them yet, but to me, they feel like a high forties team with Chet and with the growth of their young guys. And if you just like, let's say they traded Lou Dort and a bunch of their picks, maybe two firsts and two of their lesser picks or three firsts and a second, whatever it is. And they just say, fuck it. And they get Drew and you put him with Giddy and SGA and Jalen fucking awesome Williams and Chet Holmgren and all these other dudes they have, that might be a top three team in the West. I mean, that, that's starting to give me some early 2010s OKC vibes. So where he goes is going to be important. I just feel like there was so much Drew Holliday slander the last couple of days. You know, he's one of my favorite players. Even Haralabob, who was the chairman of the board of the Drew Holliday fan club for years and would have the benefit dinners there and, you know, just did a lot of yeoman's work on that front. And even he was like, yeah, yeah, Dame's better than Drew. That trade makes sense for Milwaukee. I was hurt, Haralabob. I was 100 % hurt by that. But you know, Drew got his ass kicked by Jimmy Butler in the playoffs last year. I get it. It happens. Jimmy was unbelievable. I feel like he would have kicked anybody's ass. By the way, why is Drew Holliday guarding Jimmy Butler? That speaks more to some of the issues with Milwaukee. He was never supposed to be a point guard and a creator. I think he was always better as an off -the -ball guy. We saw that with Rondo and New Orleans and just in general. I want to see him with a point guard. I want to see him just being unleashed, not having the ball a lot, just worrying about hitting threes, being an occasional, you know, make -shit -happen guy and being like the third or fourth best guy on a team without having the offensive responsibility to have. All their half court issues got blamed on him for the last couple of years. And I get it. They weren't like an awesome half -court team, even the other one in the finals, but I really value that dude. I had him, even I did the trade value list in August and I had him 37th and I had Dame 23rd. I think he's one of the best 30 players in the league still. He's 33 years old, which, you know, I'm going to talk in a second about when guards hit their mid -30s, but just in general, I think he's a real asset. If he goes to a team like the Celtics and they can keep Derek White and Tatum and Brown in the center, it's like, look out, man. So little mini sweepstakes, rarely do we get the trade, but then we still get another asset to talk about. Thank you for everyone involved in the trade. And then the fourth small point is just that, you know, not rocket science, Milwaukee bought some Giannis time here. They have one of the best 20 players of all time. They were staring down the barrel of a situation that was not good. I was talking about it on this podcast in late June and early July. I thought he was going to put them on the clock. I thought Mark Lasry selling his stake was a really bad sign for all of this because that dude is smart. As I laid out in June, that guy is really smart. And if he's feeling like, you know what, it's time for me to sell my buck stock, that makes me nervous. And then all the stuff that Giannis said and did, which I thought he did really fairly and really smartly. And I think that dude's about titles and that's it. And I know we say that about players, but I think in his case, I don't think he cares about, you know, what's my legacy, how do I compare against Dirk DeWhisky, any of that stuff. I just think he wants more rings. I mean, think about the guys who have won two rings out of the best 35 guys on my list of my pyramid. Those are all guys in my top 35 that won multiple wings. You go to the one -ring side, Jerry West, Oscar, Moses, Dirk, Jokic, Giannis, Pettit, Garnett, Kawhi, Rick Barry. That's the list he's on now. I certainly don't think he's looking at that list going, I got to get away from these guys, but it's a slightly different list. I think when you win multiple rings in multiple situations, it elevates you in a certain way. I think he fundamentally understands that at least a little bit. I want to be the best player since LeBron James. I think that's a thing that he wants. How am I going to do that? I need more rings. I need more finals trips. He knew from last year and maybe even the Boston series that they just weren't good enough. Whether this trade is going to be the thing that propels them, we'll find out, but he's been in the league 10 years, two MVPs, five first teams, two second teams, and now we have this little two -year window. Kawhi and the Raptors was a one -year window. This is a two -year window, I feel like. With Giannis, he's got two years left in his deals. So does Lopez. Middleton has two in a player option. Dame's got two, and then this crazy $120 million player option extension thingy that he has that just keeps going and going. It's probably two years. There's a world where this could go terribly this season, at least for what the expectations are, and then maybe it becomes Kawhi, Raptors. Maybe Giannis is like, you know what? That didn't work. Trade me. And the Bucks, who have no picks left and no future, they look at it next summer, and they go, all right. We tried it. Giannis, what can we get for you? Dame, what can we get? And they just do a reboot, rehaul. Remember, they won in 2021, which just takes so much pressure out of this. It's so much different than the Clippers situation, where they went all in on Kawhi and Paul George. They give up all those picks and SGA, and they've gotten nothing out of it. They haven't even made the finals. So it's got to happen. I think they at least probably have to make the finals. If they get bounced in round two, do I think Giannis is going to stay because they made this Dame -Mower trade? Probably not. So that leads to the big question, is how good of a trade was this? So there's a big picture angle on Dame, and it's going to sound negative, but I really don't want it to sound negative because I think Dame, I voted for him for NBA Top 75. I think he's been one of the best guards in the last 15 years. I think there's a ton of great things you can say, and there's a chance that he goes to Milwaukee, and this thing is fucking awesome. I know any Celtic fan I've talked to, including Isaiah, who's helping produce this podcast today, the Giannis -Dame pick and roll is just terrifying. Other than Jokic and Murray, it's going to be the single most unstoppable offensive play in the league. It is. We are conceding that point. The spot Dame is in right now, big picture -wise, it's weird. He's a superstar, but he's not, and we've seen guys like this before. I judge superstars by, do you have the resume statistically, and is your team succeeding consistently at a certain level? You can't totally say that about Dame. He's never been on a 55 -win team. He's missed the playoffs completely four times in 11 years. He said three first -round exits. He made the Final Four once in 2019, which was really lucky because Golden State and Houston were the two best teams, and then they got smoked. He's never been on a true contender ever. Instinctively, you go, well, that's not his fault. Who's he played with? Well, he played with LaMarcus Aldridge and CJ McCollum and a couple other guys, but not really anybody. The reason I'm putting this up is there's a success element that he has not had yet that for somebody with his resume is actually kind of unusual. I went and I looked up how many guards in the history of the league averaged 22 points a game for their career and played at least 700 games. I thought the list would be like 20. I didn't know. I didn't know what I was walking into. Only I think 75 guys have averaged 22 a game. So I went and I looked up the list, and it was 10 guys, 700 games, 22 a game for their career. There were some guys who came close like David Thompson, who I think is one of the best guards I've seen in the last 45 years, but had a short career and had some drug issues. He didn't make it. He didn't play enough games. Pete Maravich, 24 .2 points a game, but he didn't play enough games. Kyrie hasn't played enough games yet. Bradley Beale is five games away. I'm actually kind of glad the cutoff's at 700 so we don't have to talk about him. And then Mitchell and Trey Young aren't there yet. There's only 10 guys that made it, and the 10 guys are all fucking awesome. And again, I mentioned this in the context of Dame, who we think he is versus the success he's had. So the 10 guys, Michael Jordan, 30 .1, Jerry West, 27 .1, Allen Averson, 26 .7, George Gervin, 26 .2, Oscar Robertson, 25 .7, Kobe, 25 .0, Harden, 24 .7, Curry, 24 .6, Wade, 22, barely made it, and Russ, 22 .4, and then Dame is at 25 again. All right, what does he not have that those other guys have? Well, MJ, don't need to talk about him. Don't need to talk about Jerry West, who's the freaking logo. Allen Averson, pretty good comparison, right? Big stats, really memorable player, but not a ton of success. Here's the difference. Averson made the finals once. He won an MVP. Dame has done neither of those things. George Gervin was the best scoring guard of the 70s. He made two final fours. He had some bad luck. He really, in 79, really should have came close. And some of it's on him, right? He could have come through. Bobby Dandridge is the one that ended up coming through for the Bullets. They lose. But two final fours, he had four top five MVP finishes, five first teams, four second teams. He was just unassailably the best guard in the league until MJ. Oscar Robertson, don't need to go through him, but he won a ring and an MVP. Kobe, five rings and an MVP. Eleven first teams for Kobe, by the way. James Harden, three final fours, an MVP, six top five MVP finishes, six first team MBAs. And even though Harden has never made the finals as the best guy, he made it with OKC as the sixth man, you could build a contender around Harden. We saw it. We haven't really seen it with Dame. I think that's a fair thing to bring up. Curry, four rings, two MVPs, you know, the Curry thing. Dwayne Wade, three rings, two top five MVPs, two first teams, three second teams. He's more in the Dame waters a little bit, but he had the 2006 finals and he was the second best guy with LeBron on those heat teams. And then Westbrook, who you would say, well, Dame had a better career than Westbrook. Did he? Westbrook made the finals in 2012. He was second best guy on that team. Almost made the finals in 2016. He won an MVP. He had two first teams and five second teams. It's at least like a real argument. And I think when you look at Dame, he only had that one 2019 round three, got bounced. He's only had one top five MVP finish. He's only had one first team MBA and four second team MBAs. Really, really good top 75 career. But the piece that's missing is, have you been on a really good team? Have you made a real run at it? Which is why, you know, I think this Milwaukee trade is so much fun. This is his real chance. I get nervous about a couple things with this trade. One is that, you know, if you look at the 33 and older guards who average 22 points a game in a season. Jordan did it twice. Curry did it twice. Still going. Kobe did it three times. Jerry West twice. Sam Jones once. Hal Greer once. That's the entire list. Now the NBA is different. We have more three -pointers now. It's easier to score. Scoring is the easiest it's ever been. Guys can play at a longer age. So I'm not ruling out Dane being good for the next three years. But just pointing out, history is saying, be a little nervous. In general with guards, like Chris Paul, we saw from age 35 to 36 to 37, like it just dropped. But that's two years older than Dane. Maybe it's fine. I just worry about guards. We have not a lot of instances with guards in their mid -30s of them either peaking as players or being able to sustain whatever success they had during their prime. It always starts to go down with really no exceptions, except for Steph Curry. He's the only non -exception. So if your case is Dane's as good as Steph Curry, or Dane can be as potent as Steph Curry on a winning team, like, you know, Steph Curry is better than Dane, but I'm not going to argue that he couldn't do a lot of the stuff that Curry did in Golden State. The bigger issue for me, the age I'm definitely worried about. Dane has not been healthy the last couple of years, and we have not seen him play nine straight months at playoff basketball with a big bullseye on his back. Everybody coming after you, you're the best team. We haven't seen him do that ever, much less than the last couple of seasons. So can he stay up? Can he stay healthy? That's one thing. The defense with Dane just got kind of swept under the rug the last couple days, and I don't really understand it because there's five categories of defensive player I feel like. There's excellent, there's good, there's average, there's not so good, and then there's bad. And I think Dane's a bad defender. I think the stats back it up. Like, his defensive rating last year was 245 out of the guards. He's the 245th guard for defensive rating. You know, 117 .4 individual defensive rating is 483 overall. Portland's team's always defensively, it was the Achilles heel for them. Partly because of Dane, because he couldn't guard anybody. He's too small. And, you know, think about what we saw from the playoffs the last couple years. I think about the 2020 bubble Celtics playoffs, not infrequently, because I think that team had a chance to potentially win a title. What happened? Everyone hunted Kemba Walker. It was hunting season. It's like, where is he? Got to get a switch. Got to get Kemba Walker guarding somebody who's bigger, or got to beat him off the dribble, and it just became a hunt session with him. And basically, he got played out of the league. He's not in the league anymore. You know, we had this with Isaiah Thomas, too, in the mid -2010s. I think it's been an issue with Kyrie Irving. The Celtics certainly went at him in the playoff series with Brooklyn a couple years ago. Curry, you saw, who I think is a better defender than people give him credit for, but the And he's a much better defender than Dame is. Jordan Poole is somebody that got hunted in playoff series recently. Chris Paul, obviously, is a big one. Jalen Brunson, remember what the Heat did to him? Mitchell, when he was on Utah, this was a huge issue. And then Trae Young, obviously. My fear with Dame is he's a DH, and I think in Portland, part of the reasons he was able to put up the stats he did was because he wasn't playing defense, right? It was just, how many points can I score? My team isn't very good, and I'm just going to do my thing. He's an incredible offensive player. But how much of a trade -off is the defense, right? Well, you think, all right, well, Milwaukee, they're really good defensively. They'll be able to protect him. Here's the team. Giannis, Dame, Lopez, Portis, Middleton, Conaton, Beauchamp, Crowder. Who's guarding Trae Young on this team? Who's guarding Jason Tatum? Here's a partial list of guys that I don't think this team will be able to guard this season. Devin Booker, Tatum, Butler, Trae Young, Kyrie, Curry. Who's going to be chasing Curry around the screens? Dame lowered? Good luck. SGA, Luca, Mitchell, Murray, Edwards, Brunson, Ja, Garland, Fox, Halburn. Are they going to be able to cover Derek White? I don't know. The way this team is constructed, they are not going to have the ability to guard other guards at all, which means they're just going to have to be in a shooting match with them, right? It's going to be not much different than what's going to happen with Phoenix, where they're just literally going to have to outscore the other team. I've just watched too much playoff basketball over the last couple years, where it's like, if you have that weak link on defense, and you're playing a team that's smart enough, they're going to go after that weak link. Like, think about them against the Lakers, right? The Lakers figure their crunch time. Let's say they make the finals. It's Milwaukee and the Lakers, and Lakers crunch time. They're going to have LeBron and Davis and Austin Reeves and, I don't know, a shooter and a point guard, whatever. All they're going to be doing is trying to find where Dame is on the court and going after him. What about when they play Boston? Boston puts out White and Brogdon and Tatum and Brown and a center, and all they're going to be doing is trying to make sure Dame is covering somebody who has the ball who's now torturing him. I think it's a real problem for them. And what's funny is they gave up Drew's defense and, you know, they, what they gave up on defense, which is significant, and they gained an offense, it might end up just being a wash and they might just be a different version of the same team where they still have a huge flaw. It's just on the other end of the court. I'm just shocked that nobody brought up the defense. I agree he's an amazing offensive player and what's cool about this trade and what I'm excited about as a basketball fan is, can he go up a level? Right? A lot of these stats he put up, especially the last couple years. They didn't mean anything. They were, he was on bad teams. Like, who cares? Ultimately, Bradley Beal scored 30 points a game on the Wizards. Who cares? I think most really good offensive players, if they're on a bad team, can get between 25 and 30 a night. Can you do it nine months in a row? Can you do it when you're getting hunted on defense all over the place? How much can Milwaukee protect him? And what does he have in the tank at age 33 with 900 plus games on the O 'Dominor already? I'm still afraid of the Bucks, but people have, like, FanDuel had them as best odds in basketball and I think most people feel like they're the favorite now. I don't feel like there's a favorite. I think you can go through every team. Boston, I could, I'm scared of Porzingis. What's going to happen with Jalen Brown out there? He has contracts. Can Peyton Pritchard, all these different things. Philly, God only knows. Miami, they're unquestionably worse. Yeah, Milwaukee is going to be really good, but depending where Holiday lands and how this all plays out, I just think it's still wide open. And the other piece, so if you're just talking Boston, Miami, Tatum kills Milwaukee. I have no idea why. Boston is kind of built to at least stay with Dame and, you know, Derek White is about as good of a person you're going to have to try to keep Dame in check, at least. And Boston's done a really good job of guarding Giannis over the years. They don't have Grant Williams this year, but I just don't think, I think there's as many ways this goes wrong as it goes right, I guess would be my final thought on this because for what they gave up, especially with that 29 unprotected and the two swaps and, you know, they are all in on this team. And you know my theory, when you go all in on a team, you better think you can win. Not positive, but it's an awesome trade. It really is. It makes the league so much more fun. Dame and Giannis together. I'm going to enjoy watching Portland. I still have my eating stock. Watching Phoenix fans slowly realize that Derkiszna isn't the answer is going to be fun and then we'll see where Drew Holliday goes. So really fun trade. We're going to talk about it a little bit more with Die Hard Bucks fan, Ben Thompson in one second. Let's take a break.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/25/23
"Were you hardwired into this program Mike? Kinda, yeah. This was an actual hit. The theme song of this was an actual hit on the actual radio in 1976. We have a happy day's cast birthday. That would be Potsy. Potsy is 74. I have no idea how old Ralph Mouth is. Well, they're all in their 70s. It's a weird birthday too because Mark Hamill, virulent liberal Luke Skywalker, he is 72. And you know, you just pause, you stop and you think about the career and what happened. The great Christopher Reeve would have been 71 today. That 1995 horse accident, man, I still haven't scrubbed my brain of that and what heroism and activism. So anyway, big showbiz birthdays. A lot going on in the news. You want to do some new stuff or the book, the article? Well, let's do both. Yeah, the book comes out this week, the Fox News book, but let's start, let's not bury the lead. This Washington Post poll has people in hysteria. I mean, they are running through the streets of DC with their hair on fire. This is kind of unusual. I've never seen a media organization like the Washington Post produce the results of a poll and then trash their own poll and bang on it. Right. It's an outlier. This can't be real. This can't be right. I mean, it's devastating news for Biden if it's to be believed. Now let's face it. Polls are quirky. Here's why polls kind of matter. We kind of, they don't. The reason they don't matter is because Lord knows we saw polling about the big red wave in 2022 and that didn't quite work out for us. So let's remember before we get too excited about polls that they are subject to change dramatically. But here's where it does matter. It does give a person like Donald Trump momentum. There is an appearance of momentum. There is the facade of surging and momentum, which kind of feeds upon itself. It just, it just snowballs. So it's real. I mean, it's very, very, it's very, very palpable. And it becomes even more and more unlikely that anybody's going to overcome him. But we never know. A lot can change. We still could, we still could change. How about the debate Wednesday? I heard you mentioned driving in. I thought I saw Burgum. Yes, you did. I rectified that a couple. He did. He managed to get 3 % in Iowa, 4 % in New Hampshire. Speaking of polls I'm skeptical of, there's one, but bless his heart. He seems like a good guy. It seems to be wasted time. I have a very short appetite for wasted time. How about wasted money? How about the money he's spending on the ads? You know what those ads cost? I know. And they're all, I see, I see six Doug Burgum ads every day on Fox news, speaking of Fox news. Every ad I see on Fox news for Doug Burgum, I think how many families of police officers would that help? Or how many poor people would that feed? Or how much, how much of a border wall would that fund? It's his money. I know he can do what he wants. But what a waste of money. It seems to be. Unless, unless he comes in third in Iowa or New Hampshire, kind of punches a ticket out of the month of January. And I mean, stranger things, well, not many stranger things have happened, but then maybe, maybe he ends up with some, how old is he? Is there running mate buzz? You're not going to have a North Dakota running mate buzz. There's not buzz about him over here at the 7 -11 down the street from the airport. Buzz. There's no Doug Burgum buzz. Here's the conspiracy buzz about the Washington Post poll that you just mentioned is that this is on purpose. They want to show Biden as desperate so that in the liberal and the Democrat ivory towers, they can really get the ball moving on replacing him with somebody who might have a prayer of winning. So that's not without some merit. I mean, you know, they got to be sitting around saying, this is our guy. I mean, last week at the UN, at one point it was utter gibberish. And you're looking, I'm thinking my Lord, that's the commander in chief of the United States of America. So the Democrats have to see this. Mark, no way he'll be the nominee. No way he's going to run. Shall I ask you? I mean, okay. I'll ask you again. It's a flow chart.

"And if you're not like men, you're approved. And that actually basically failing to recognize that there are some differences between men and women on this point. And so there's this real movement now and you think you see it playing out in the stats around sex, particularly 20 somethings are having less sex today than they were. And I think part of this is just actually a lot of women are like, hold on a second. Hold on, hold on. We're not like men. On average, when it comes to sex, some women are more like men, some men, more like women, the distributions overlap, but there's a pretty big difference in the kind of psychology of sex for men and women. That just is. And then how does that work when it's magic, it works really well, but it doesn't work by itself. We have to have elaborate institutions and rules and forms and courtships and et cetera. In order to kind of make it work and in fact 70% of literature is probably based on that, I was really struck recently actually that there's been an increase in the interest of Gen Z women for romantic literature. They're reading more romance. And I just found out really interesting. Do we know what kind of romance are reading? Is it traditional pirates, werewolves? Yeah. Yeah. It's quite traditional, and it's got a sense. And again, I find that just that's sociologically interesting, isn't it? It's like, okay, so what's happening there? And you might, I think it's reasonable to speculate that it might be because maybe that's missing a little bit. In contemporary society, right? Where's the where's the romance? Even saying romance makes you sound. You know, that ship sailed anyway. I've said chivalry. I've said courtship. I've said right. But romance, seriously. But it's considered outdated. I think among some people, doesn't it sound old fashioned? I mean, it's like making love. I remember once being teased by a colleague of mine when I had used the phrase making love. And she said, you mean having sex? I was like, you're so old. You're so old, making love. Who makes love? What are you talking about? Do you mean having sex? And that was a real moment for you. I thought, no, I know I actually mean making love. But that sounds like a really semantic difference. But actually, of course, we get it right. It is making love. And it can sometimes be having sex. Right. And it's in the kind of the two and how does having sex become making love and when and how and maybe this was partly what you were getting at your story, which I'm grateful for you sharing because I think a lot of men will probably resonate with that story. Like I'm trying to do the right thing and the result is I don't get laid. And so I think we're in danger of just missing the fact that these things just don't happen by themselves, right? You've been emphasizing throughout this conversation important of our biological hard drives or whatever kind of language you're going to use. And I think that there's a real danger we miss that. But I think it's incredibly important that the interaction between biology and culture is where the really interesting work is. It's how do cultures interact with our biology in ways that make for flourishing lives for everybody. Men and women. What kind of culture do we need that allows us all to flourish even in a world where there are these kind of differences. And that's a question that's probably as old as humanity itself. But it's one that we're have to ask differently all the time. I'm having to ask it differently again. So to that extent, there's nothing new here, we're just having to ask the question again, which is, okay, what does it mean? And now we're having to ask in a world where as we've discussed, huge economic changes in power relationships between men and women. Okay, so what do all these things mean now? And we have to come up with better answers than the ones who come up with, but even before that, we have to agree that there's a question. And right now, I'm not sure that everyone agrees that there's even a question, which is to be answered. Yeah, I think one of the most important things to get to that that we have to cover is what is good, like both of us have made assumptions throughout this about, oh, we should do that. We ought to do that. Whatever, but that's predicated on an assumption of what what the desired outcome is. And this is something that I find most people never take the time to pull into their conscious mind. So if you had to describe the thing that we're striving towards at the highest level just to orient to what I'm asking at the highest level, I think we ought and I use that as a moral statement. We ought to always be steering towards what creates the most human flourishing and reduces human suffering. Yes. Now, as we shrink down to this topic of the relationship between the genders, what ought we be striving towards, what is good? Well, I think you framed it exactly correctly, which is around human flourishing, but then the question is like, well, what does that look like for a particular people? And here I'm going to draw on some of my earlier intellectual underpinnings, which is John Stuart mill's liberalism, my mills, biographer, and mill's view about flourishing is that it has to be back to your point about going for it autonomous. So it has to be to some extent driven, right? It has to be about individuality, not individualism, define the difference. Well, individualism is, I'm just all about me, right? And so my worldview just says that I'm going to be essentially selfish would be a kind of reasonable way to think about it or a kind of world where you just think it's every man for himself. Hobbes, war of all against all, individuality is a description of the fact that everybody is different and different things to flourish. Their biologically different, their culturally different, they just made differently, their genes are different. They're interested different. They taste the different. Their preferences are different. And mills insistence on individuality is what drove him to being kind of a full liberal. And by the way, I would argue that probably the most important 19th century feminist. Certainly in the UK. But that individuality that being who I am.

"Like to be me. But I do think that building it around fatherhood is huge. I think the acknowledging and embracing it's good to maybe have a bit more appetite for risk. Even and this is a much more difficult area recognizing that men have a higher sex drive than women. Driven sexuality is the technical term. But like men are just like sex is a bigger deal for men. In terms of I miss Fraser, not a bigger deal, in some ways a bigger deal for women for the evolutionary reasons you talk about. But men are more driven by sex. More of their behavior, et cetera. Is that a good or a bad thing? Answer, yes, it is a good and a bad thing. Depending on how it's expressed and so on. But finding ways to say that actually the desire of men for women. The sexual desire of men for women is a good thing, not a bad thing. And then helping boys and men to express that appropriately is incredibly important. So one of the things that I have tried to raise my sons to be like is to be courageous enough to ask a girl out. Gracious enough to accept no, for an answer. And then responsible enough to make sure that either way, she gets home safely. And to me, that's a world that we want all of our men and boys to be and I think, which is absolutely equality between men and women in total respect for the kind of autonomy and opportunities of each. But a willingness to take a risk and one of the things I've noticed is that there isn't really any good language for this. I was talking to someone about this the other day and we ended up talking about courtship and chivalry and shipwreck. Dances and I literally because I know you're going with this dance and disaster. What's the new language for this? Because you end up sounding like a 17th century, you know, French knight. Some people you mean about dance and disaster. I found this really. What is this? This is from 1930. They headmaster of Stowe school, which is a boys school in England. He said that his goal was to create men who would be acceptable at a dance and invaluable in a shipwreck. And I was asked to update that recently. I was like, I don't know. Cool a rave. But useful. And I don't know if I don't know. Actually, you know what he means? That stands the test of time, acceptable at a dance. Okay, so socialized in a way where you understand the rules of the game, absolute respect for women, et cetera, know about courtship, no, no when it's appropriate to approach when it's not what's going on there, right? But just having that skill, right? Being a gentleman, there you go. Now I sound at least 19th century, not 17th century, except but knowing how to conduct yourself, right? Knowing how to be around women knowing how to, et cetera. But then invaluable in a shipwreck? Yeah, when things go south and there's a really dangerous, physically dangerous situation that you are, you are willing to put yourself on the line. And if necessary, sacrifice yourself or others, absolutely, that you will do what needs to be done. I got to tell you, that sounds pretty good to me. And there aren't very many women who I've shared that with who say that's a terrible thing. Like when you say to them, do you want guys who are acceptable at a dance, but what do you mean invaluable and shipwreck? There aren't very many women that say, no, that sounds terrible, right? They get it. They understand what that means. What's the flip side for women though? Because I think there's something very telling. I'm not. I don't need a woman to be invaluable in the shipwreck. In fact, if I'm completely honest, in that moment, I go to the disposable mail, hypothesis. Absolutely, you want to be the one that's about it. And that makes me feel good about this. There's a reason why most of the women survived the Titanic. Give me the percentages. You listen in the book. Don't have a 19% male and 70 something percent female. And I was like, wow. I don't know the exact number. But when I heard the staff, I was scandalized by the 19%. I was like, most of the men died, yeah. How did meaning what were the 19% that got on the bus? There were 30% women that didn't make it. Sure. What the hell? And so I was in the movie Titanic. You would think it was a lot more than 19%, by the way. But another example of that is I mentioned this to in the book, and here I actually, I learned this from Carol Hoover, who has a book on testosterone. Do you know that book? I don't. It's called T, the story of the hormone that just defines and divides us or whatever so fabulous book about testosterone. Actually, you'd really like it. She actually alerted me to the existence of the Carnegie civilian hero awards. Yeah, you talked about that in the book. I mean, who's heard of that? So they've been going for nearly a hundred years now. And they issue medals every year to people who have risked their own lives, not for their own family or in the course of their job, to save the lives of another. So this is people running into a burning building to save someone. This is people jumping into a freezing river to save someone. This is someone it's just like everyday life, something happens. Do you put yourself on the line? Do you risk your own life to save the lives of others? Almost all men. 95% of those medals go to men and it's not because they're not trying to find women. They are, it's just

I am gobsmacked by that. I don't want to breathe until you finish that point. That's so powerful and because it resonates so profoundly with me and the journey that I had to go on where it's like, yes, if you want to be good at that because for me, it really came through business. If you want to be good at this thing, you are going to have to get, and they didn't, it wasn't like it was, you have to get more mail. It was like, you have to be more aggressive. You have to, it's a great movie called rush about these two. I forget the names of the drivers, but these two race car drivers that went back and forth. And one of them said, the second you don't look for the gap to try to get your car in front, like you're lost, retire immediately. And that's what I had to learn how to do was in shooting that gap is risky. And it's so easy to not. And I am, I really believe in the phrase that leaders make great leaders. And so on my team, I'm constantly trying to empower other people to step up to be leaders and finding people that will shoot that gap that will own, this was my decision. And if it works, we can clap me on the back and if it fails, then we can say you made a poor decision. You did not execute this well. And then letting them understand that you're and this is the difficulty of the human experience that now you're on a razor's edge of this is a quote unquote safe space to try to shoot that gap. And if you miss it, none of us are going to be like you're an asshole. We're going to be like, hey, you really tried something you did it well well done. But if you missed that gap every time you'll lose your job. And so it's like, God, like contending with that is really hard, but the reality is we will go out of business. If I, as the CEO, shoot that gap and miss too many times, we go out of business. And so there is. But if you don't go for it at all, you won't be a great business. Or an interesting back to where we were some time ago talking about appetite for risk. Everything else equal, it's pretty clear that risk-taking tends to be more associated with men than for women. Again, distributions usually overlapping as your own experience shows you. It's not that all men. To say that all men are more risk-taking than women is like saying all men at taller than all women, right? It's just insane. But nonetheless, given that that's the case, it's interesting to see what, in some ways you'd see as a risk aversion among a lot of boys and young men now. In the spaces you'd want to see it, like entrepreneurship, going to college as a risk, right? There's financial risks, et cetera, asking someone out as a risk. There's all kinds of risks. Moving home, moving to a different city for a job. That's a risk. And women are taking those risks more than men now. So where's that risk-taking appetite among men going? If it's not being expressed and there's other ways. Now it's still true in entrepreneurship, et cetera. But I worry a little bit that's being sublimated. Maybe into games, maybe into something else. And that's not I'm with you. I don't think it's bad with video gaming. Not least because they paid my son well for a while. But I think bad about that, but I worry a little bit that we are not promoting healthy risk-taking among men in society. In the economy and dating, et cetera. And that's in the end, that's kind of bad for all of us. So where's it going? Maybe it's being suppressed, and that's not good. If it's a natural tendency to take risks, because maybe it will go somewhere else. Maybe it will go to drug taking or some other kind of risk-taking that's really not healthy. So what does healthy male risk-taking look like in our modern society? That's the question that we're not really answering very well. Yeah, I want to talk about that in a grander way. So you talked about men needing a script. So if masculinity done well is far less tied to biological cues because I still think it is tied to biology in terms of the male brain works a certain way. But there isn't that immediate reinforcement of child rearing. How do we get that script right? In a way, that's the huge question that I'm personally grappling with, which is what is a script for positive masculinity look like today. In a world of gender equality and I think it's incredibly important that it has both the aspects of being positive. There are aspects of masculinity that are positive. But it also has to be recognizably masculine. I think someone's a tendency when New York people talk about non toxic masculinity or positive masculinity. They're very often, when you ask them, what do you mean by that? They'll say, you know, emotional availability, vulnerability, compassion, care, emotional accessibility, willingness to cry. You're like, wait, are we still talking about masculinity? Because I think actually that sounds a lot like femininity and that's a form of gender appropriation. And again, it's not to say that everyone's like, obviously, these things overlap. But to work, this has to be recognizably something that kind of, on average, boys and men are going to resonate with. And I was like, yeah, this is my lived experience. This is what it's like to be in my body. This is what it's like to be me. But I do think that building it around fatherhood is huge. I think the acknowledging and embracing it's good to maybe have a bit more appetite for risk. Even and this is a much more difficult area recognizing that men have a higher sex drive than women. Driven sexuality is the technical term. But like men are just like sex is a bigger deal for men. In terms

"Buzz list beers. And prime members can take advantage of daily deals on bakery and prepared foods favorites perfect for brunch. Make brunch happen at Whole Foods market. Terms apply. I agree with that really aggressively. So one of the things that aggressively, because that's very my of you. I know, which I love. The funny thing is I am I am more I am, I don't know what the right way to say this is. So I'll say it overly simplistic. I'm more traditionally feminine than my wife and my wife is more traditionally masculine than I am. And so us coming together has been really interesting in that we have a very easy time understanding each other because there's not this catastrophic difference like when I think of like an MMA fighter getting with somebody that, you know, all they want to do is play with dolls and have kids. It's like that could be a much tougher bridge to cross. But when I was, I guess right before I met my wife, I read the book, the power of myth by Joseph Campbell. And I sometimes get made fun of for this, but I actually think it's one of the most important things that I did in my life, which I read the book, and he has a hypothesis in that that a big problem that we face is the breakdown of coming of age rituals. And there are no coming of age rituals and my own journey into entrepreneurship was one of toughening up of becoming more traditionally masculine of learning to be aggressive of learning to be disagreeable. And it really, really served me. Now, the fact that I had to learn it means that I had skills on the other side of empathy connection, all of that, which has served me incredibly well as well. But I realize I would not have gotten where I've gotten had I not developed those skills. And so it got me thinking a lot about, I didn't have a coming of age ritual. My dad wasn't hyper involved. He was married to my mom the whole time I was growing up, less three weeks after I went to college, that tells you a little something. Great divorce. So it was he was absent despite being physically there. He worked in the garage a lot and all that, so I didn't have a super strong male role model of what being a man looked like and he grew up without a father. So it was like, he didn't even he probably didn't know what to pass on or how to pass it on anyway. So when I read this book, the power of myth, hey, these coming of age rituals are missing, that really echoed true for me because of how I came up. And so I'm thinking, oh, I am about to, you know, at some point in the near future, hopefully we'll find somebody that I want to get married to, and he also mentions in the book that he thinks part of the reason that 50% of marriages end in divorce is because they're similarly no really hardcore ritual of you were single and now you were married and you were different now forever. And so as a part of getting married, I got myself ritualistically scarred. Now the reason that people make fun of me is what it was was a tattoo. Now, most people think of it as a tattoo, but I only have one tattoo. I absolutely at the time really had a hard time with needles. And so for me, it was facing a gigantic fear that I had. I wanted it to be painful and I wanted it to be permanent. And so if something of your wife, of course, of course. So I end up getting a tattoo design, which is she's Greek, so it was her name in Greek, and then in Greek, the four words that were my basically promised to her. And when I did it, I said, I want to lean into the fact that this is painful. I want to be completely present with what I'm going through. And as it's happening, so I made her come with me, but I did not want her to give me any comfort or solace or anything like that. I was like, I don't distract me. I want this to be painful. And so going through that was between her and I packed, we will never joke about divorce or anything like that that's completely off the table. Barring this becoming loveless or abuse on either side, this is forever and not because we say words in front of friends because we believe that's the most logical thing to living a fulfilling, amazing life. But that it's necessary to walk through some kind of threshold for me and it's interesting because I didn't feel she needed to go through something like that as well because she was like, you know, should I get a tattoo? And I was like, no, actually, I don't feel intuitively like where I was like, if you want one, obviously get one. But it is not what I would want. And so we did this whole thing and talked about it. And that really laid a foundation for us were for me, I knew there is no going backwards. And there is no unwinding this. There is only what is the path through, what is the path to a loving, long-lasting, healthy relationship. And so by conceptualizing it as a ritualistic scarification to remind myself that I am different tomorrow than I was today that we are married and it is a line in the sand that I'm never going to retrograde back across. Interesting. But I had to think of it like that and I needed something to I needed to make a big deal out of something. I needed it to have a manager. You needed this. It's super interesting to me. First of all, I think that there are lots of these different rights of passage that we kind of we all need. And just at an anecdotal level, I think things like so I've been a scout leader in the past. So things like the moving up from different scout groups to another. I remember one we used to do where they went from being a cub scout to a scout and they would literally have their kind of scout uniform on underneath their cub uniform and they'd go under this kind of parachute thing and all everyone would line up and go into the parachute and they're going to parachute and take and then come out and they were a scout and they came out. They went in as a cub scout and came out as a scout. Sounds silly, et cetera, but I remember doing that. Big deal, right? And so there's these kind of all of these these rituals. What's interesting is the role of marriage. I've been really struck by the fact that more American men say that marriage is important to them than American women do. Wow. Women are twice as likely to initiate divorce as men. That's crazy. Post divorce men do much worse than women. And so I think that is a very interesting story that marriage as an institution. Is more important for men than for women. Now it's really shocking. Now it's so interesting. It's so counterintuitive, right? It goes against the narrative. The narrative is, well,
Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu

"Under circumstances that no longer teach it effectively. I think that's exactly right. So male nurturing and it doesn't mean necessarily one on one nurturing male nurturing can be a little bit more tribal, it can be a little bit more for a bigger group, but male nurturing matters, right? It has ancestrally its mattered because it's different in tonality than female nurturing. What is just more? Well, you've made the point that kind of like women breastfeed, there's the oxytocin thing, there's that kind of a very young children, especially there's that kind of there is a difference between the biological relationship between fathers and mothers of very young children. When I disagree with some of the conservatives on this, it's like, that's not less true for 12 year olds. In fact, I'm reasonably convinced by the evidence that dads, if anything, have a bit of a competitive advantage when it comes to adolescents. So just because women like breastfeed for the first few months doesn't mean that they, that's damp, the next 25 years, right? Yeah, you're a mom. That's the problem people over determine the biological difference. Turn it into roles and track people with them. And the other side say, oh, no, there are no biological differences. So you just end up with this absurd situation where neither side makes any sense. And so the question is like, well, okay, what about the guys then? Well, fatherhood still really matters just in a slightly different way. So you could just still needed by your kids. You still have to provide for your kids. And by the way, that could include materially. There aren't probably very many women out there that love the idea that men aren't going to do any more earning anymore, right? And in fact, there's this very interesting new recent evidence that shows that a big reason for the gender pay gap is parenting. We know that already, right? This is a difference between men and women's parenting. But it's not just that mothers earn and work less. It's that fathers earn and work more. And that drives the gender pay gap very significantly right. So actually fatherhood triggers more work, my earnings among men, right? So the idea that that's that men, the providing role of men is kind of somehow kind of behind us. That's wrong. It's just that they don't have exclusive access to it anymore. But they also matter as dads, they're a bit better at helping their kids take risks, they may be a little bit better around some of the physical stuff with sons. I only have boys so I can only speak to three boys and a friend of ours said, well, you've got boys and they're like dogs, just run them out twice a day. And you'll be fine. It is a bit more complicated than that, but there's some truth in that. It's just the physical needs of boys and girls are a little bit different. And dad's actually a pretty good at all that. So I guess my big point here is that we are where we are in terms of the economic relationship between men and women. We also are who we are in terms of our biology. And so the question is, what kind of culture do we need to create that recognizes biological differences without in any way making them determinative, but without imagining they're not there? Which celebrates economic and economic greater economic equality between men and women, but which nonetheless gives men a specific role to play in society in their kids lives. We are just beginning to answer that question. In fact, I honestly think, through my own work, I have to persuade some people that it's even a question that needs answering. Which is there is a problem right now with boys and men. And one of the sources of that problem is we don't have a new script for masculinity. We've torn up the old one, the breadwinning one, we haven't replaced it. But actually, masculinity doesn't invent itself. And back to this point about the fragility of the learned thing from mead. I think it's basically true that becoming a man, mature masculinity, positive masculinity is more learned, more socialized than femininity. Women have a much clearer sequence of bio and their biological milestones, et cetera. There isn't there isn't quite, if you look at the history of human cultures, they've worked really hard around rights of passage. For men. Is that because they were patriarchies? Not mostly, I don't think. I think it's because humans have known forever that the challenge of turning boys into good men is a bigger cultural challenge than turning girls into women. Because we don't have quite the same biological markers, and that is a task for every culture has taken very, very seriously. And I think it would be incredibly arrogant of us to think that we can be the first to say society in human history that doesn't have to pay attention to the way we turn boys into men.

Drove Jones, buck Owens, del Reeves, Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold, you know, all of that. And my sister was a big Motown fan, so I heard a lot growing up.

"John Wick. We've only done chapter two on the rewatchables and not chapter one. Strangely, but it's because chapter two is such an amazing elevation of what the first film was. I think it's in. Great. No argument. No, I told you. I wasn't going to hold you back. Have you seen 2018 Siberia? No, I haven't, but I have seen 20 18s destination wedding. What do you think of that movie? I haven't seen that. It is not. It's not good. So it's one on a ride a reunion. Yes, and it's romantic comedy. Sort of. Very sour. It is why don't a writer plays the X of the person getting married can a Reeves plays the brother of the person getting married. They hate everyone. And no one else speaks in the movie. It's just dialog. It's just the two of them that keep getting thrown together at the various wedding events or the plane or whatever, and they just snipe at each other. And then at the end, they like each other. Great. I'll never watch it. Yeah, it's not good. 20 19s replicas, a kind of failed science fiction film that didn't never took off for him. That's also not in. I think John Wick chapter three and we will get to chapter four very shortly is the least of the John Wick films. It's not bad. It has some incredible set pieces as all of these films do. I find it a hard stretch to get it to get three John Wick movies and let alone four. Okay. So I'm going to say let's, let's table three. I'm fine with that. Always be my maybe. I have a hard time putting this in much as I enjoy this. I agree. I wasn't going to something's got to give it's the only one where I was really going to go. I was never going to fight you on that. I'm going to go to the mat. I really like it. In fact, I just, I fast forwarded this morning to the extended Keanu cameo, where he plays himself. And it's incredibly funny. And good nature and makes that movie. As I watched the movie the first time I was like, I wish the movie was just Ali Wong and Keanu. Yes. That is the movie that I want to see. So we could have that, right? Would it work at like 90 minutes? I don't know. I just thought, you know, I saw a trailer for this new series starring Ali Wong who I love and Steven Yeun on Netflix called beef. And then my immediate thought was why isn't this a movie? Can we just make this a movie, please? Yeah. That's a problem that I have, but I agree. Those two should be movie stars. Anyway, 20 19s Toy Story four, honestly, Keanu is absolutely hilarious in this movie. He is incredible as a toy, like an army toy, named duke kaboom. He's more like a evil knievel style like stunt driver figure and his voice work is phenomenal. It's not in the whole fame, but I look forward to the day when I can show my child Toy Story four. He is transcendent. So isn't he so funny? Genius level stuff. It's so good. It's probably not enough of a part or thing. I don't think Toy Story before even has the best reputation, but I like it. 2020 Bill & Ted Face the Music, fun movie. This is actually a fun movie to get during COVID during the pandemic, but definitely not in the Hall of Fame. If we're not putting book as adventure in the Hall of Fame.

Oh yeah hotel. Yeah have you guys on a hot tub stream yet. A hot upstream really. Yeah we did. I mean it was like sweet conference finals for a pocus birthday. We we did hot upstream and it was. He was nice. Oh there it is right there we just. We just realized that we found out like a few days ago. They made the whole subcategory for it. Which wireless so. It's hot tubs. Pools and beaches as the category. Each is men. because like i've i remember i went on like just chatting just arbitrarily like two pm. Like took a screen cap with the first three rows and it was all just like hot tubs. Beaches and pools was like dying laughing. I was like this makes me feel like such a joke. That clock in at four pm. And i'm like. I'm going to tell jokes like yeah. We don't care really don't care you are. You are literally the last thing we give shit in this category would tell the. Tell them about the hawaii. Oh yeah yeah. So so. I went to maui and then i did the big island. Yeah for a couple of weeks. Yeah so i was staying in my hotel on the big island. And i'm walking back from our room to go hang out at the beach and they're like a little beach area and i see a fucking ring light just like he's like in the middle of all this greenery. There's a ring light. I'm like what the fuck is gone on here. I'm expecting a teenager. To just be in front of it. And i just r.i.p and i get a few more steps in the gopro and it's definitely a like a beach streamer trying to settings right and i'm laughing because i can tell she's like fussing with the twitch app on her phone the gopro app and i wanted to be like hey Early tried it doesn't work a streamer as well me. Michael reeves a category was thinking. Is i like you know. Like you know emerging craters these days. It's like you know you're trying to grind for like the category that you wanna go by people like you know. I want to be a commentary person. Whatever yet but like you know if you're just starting out maybe you can't afford a hot tub in a pool so then you just go to public pools stream from there. Yeah it was like children doing swimming lessons in the background dog. You're like sorry. I didn't hear dude. Even some people do it in their bathtubs. Yeah like a frame it as if it were a hot tub in a way this is just a horny. Thing right yeah. There's no like creative integrity to take up to him to be creative in the hot tub. Space cody or gatekeeper. There's real merit so like the doesn't like lift the content besides like just makes a horny right. Isn't that what everyone's talking like. What if you're a hot streamer but your musician. People play violin and the hot tub. I would watch that all right. So what if someone's doing like crazy algebra abacus in a hot tub. I would watch that tubers gripe with like that's like the mainly when people talk about that is like the main gripe okay..

"Did you really. Yeah there it. So i was talking about this with somebody last night like when this took off. I remember those like i have a screenshot of it in the app store. And it's number one. And then google is number two an ebay is number three fucked and like it was local but not ebay we love ebay. We love ebay michael. Have you seen our four part series on youtube called on instagram. Better than new brand deal freebase contractually. We love he's really really good. Bit wasn't really. Check it out. You buy stuff on ebay. Right of course actually bought an electric group stick on recently. What stick like one of these one of these and it's electric. Yes so yeah. I i love rip sticks okay but i wanted it motorized. Because you can't fucking get anywhere on a normal rips. The electric ones they made were before like brushless. Technology came around so their dog shit and did not sell well and are horrible. So i bought one and i want to take it apart and her motor in that. Yes so sick. It's don't you don't like does not have to rip it then is that the heart of the risk is that you rip it the ripping for the turns like you know what i can't. Yeah what i can do. Is i can rip down read snowboarding. I take a tight corner. And i'm still ripping longboard. You can fuck do that. Yeah so i just wanted like an assist uphills where like for long distances the electric. Yeah but it's hard because the wheels move and also like the entire board moves so it's like it's hard to get a motor in that thing it's like do. I don't know just like as a person who's not you like. I feel like i don't know i just feel like you can see things and just get this feeling like i make this better like not better. But i don't know like your like like better different. I guess like. I'm on trying to ask you here is like have you always kinda had like this. I don't know this feeling of like when you see something like Like i wonder how that works in. Like what could. I expect it to be better like. Is that kind of what motivates a lot of what you do or i don't know i i don't know where anything or is it just more like fucking around always fucking around okay. It's like i yeah. I don't know it's like if i learn how to do like a thing. I was like wanted to find a place to fit it in somewhere. Even though we will probably shouldn't fit in your crib stick. i shouldn't exist. Kinda wanna make it happen. I mean i just. I just feel like your videos. All your ideas like they definitely seem like fucking around. But i like i've always wondered like for you as it just. Is it like a challenge. Like you're like. I want wanna take this and do some crazy with it. You think it's i think it's a little bit of pro is surely must be a little bit of both. Yeah a little bit fucking around. So it stays the quirky and silly renting another quick break to think another sponsor..

I'm just picturing the type of people who i mean abo- person i guess is really anyone. I shouldn't stereotype. Yeah but drunk boat people with big as vehicles. That have just a ton of batteries. A pastor insane amount of immediate tour. Seems like a bad idea is this is horrible. You don't think drunk people in both is a bad idea that happens every add a battery to it. I don't know her batteries and boats. Now i mean that's fair. It's all batteries at someone's prone to watch this. We'll touch the water. They how much you wanna bet. I won't put on that terminal and the water give you fucking theory drinks man. One thousand dead in the ozark and michael rees is out there like lakes give you this great like everyone literally died here last week.

Turns out you're an idiot just played silently just in the background. Just please silently. What the fuck is that ship crewmen just crazy kansas Okay you know what. We're not getting anything from one hundred percent electric. It really come across that. It's electric when the vote is above water like when the electric bits are under the water. Yeah yeah yeah. It's still just looks like a normal but yeah that's true. Yeah yeah that's true. Tell us about the The robot is that the coolest thing that it creeps me the fuck out. It's terrifying. I would've brought it. But i was already out of the house by the time tax. I would've fucking by. It's so sweet damage terrifying though. Is it scores eager in person than you would ever expect. Say do when. I watched that video. I had like dislike like sense of outta noman like i hate to use word pride but i was just like proud of you. Man is i was just it just seemed like this massive bucket list thing rows like fuck that is actually so sick because getting them to even pay attention to you is one thing and then getting them to give you the fucking dog. I was like whoa i pay for the. I'm yeah i mean even getting to the point where they'd be willing to sell it to you. I feel like they gotta be stringent on. Who they're willing to partner with were for a while and then. I think they weren't making enough money on an interesting just by if you give us the money. Oh that's i was trying for a really long time. I was like please fucking dog. let me by. I was even gonna make like a fake construction company lay llc and then i talked to my manager lawyers and he was like. That's bad. probably no can't do that. Yeah we're youtube videos prank. Boston dynamics built a shell company same. Ceo that likes to use their robots to kill people all. My bank accounts are off shore. So you bought it. I'm just saying it was fucking awesome. Blast it's so sick you guys got to see at some point. I really wanna see come over to my house and backyard. It's looking better. So surreal that you. That was the part of the video that jumped out at me. Mouse like you said it was like how do you how. How is this even possible. This you can own a robot like this an program. Yeah like not. That was eye opening for me. I was like oh. We've jumped like five years in the future. I thought we weren't even there close to being there. It's so cool. The sad part is that they have made such little amount of money on the dog. For how much work they've put into it. You guys probably know better than most. How like much fucking work. Making like a robot looked like a huma can barely make a wheelspin. Yeah they're making like a dog robot and shit like they think they made way than they spent like developing the dog. Oh that sucks. It sucks who they think they were going to sell it to. That's what i'm saying. You know the only what is the us for the robot dog you would have gone on to to the army. Not by fifty million of those put flashlight on dog. That's the two things army. In the porn industry more packaging robots now so like for it. Kind of just be like for amazon fulfillment centers like boxes. They've this giant like kinda wheel crane robot. Now that is they're gonna sell like businesses but it's a shame that like the dog robot getting more development. Because i don't think they work on it at all after this. How shame. yeah because it's so cool that has you got to see in person. You imagine taking that thing on like a hike through runyon. that's just carrying. Do spend twenty grand beer. Watch fish people walking by auto dogs. Hey don't kick it. We've been alone a little bit awkward. Get over it or recover and feed off the dog. You're going to see youtube videos. Okay i just hate. When people cut their boston dynamics robots dogs off leash on the trails justa fair to other hikers because we don't know if it has gone on it or not. It's a terms of service to put like weaponry on it. I found out. I would imagine so it makes sense. Yeah voice would was. The beer. didn't count as a weapon right. A beers quarter. No it didn't know. Okay i do really. I bought it wanting but like an air. Soft gun a paintball. Oh gotcha something. I still will probably do what we be advertising. That probably on youtube. What if oh bro. What if we start a dog fighting league. I've been on dogfight cheeses the second time you know but we we make it like battle bots. But it's like a partnership with boston dining. This is just the worst marketing. You guys aren't going to make money. I need the fire. Tv series where we showed the insane violent capabilities of this device. It's kind of a job idea. Actually like you say battle bots. Is that the show where they have cars and you put sauce on them and shit like that number. That little tiny little row with those things were so primitive. Because it's like oh restricted to wheels. Right did you watch bots. I wash. I went to the ballot pseudo. My friend was a safety inspector there so we could just like fucking walk through the bowel bots in. Just there's so sick or they are the i imagine. Those are a lot bigger in real life than you waving. And they're like a thousand pounds some of them down fifty pounds. Some of them there was thousand. Pounds is a car in no there was one that could like shoot like It was like a cylinder like this but of solid steel and what yes and the had a tune it down because it was breaking the bulletproof glass of the arena or the like the people were behind i was how do you allow. It was like the closest thing. Yeah just gun gone jacob. Jake paul wants to be taken seriously. He should fight that. Jay wants shows that he's really is really about it as her. You should fight the fucking thousand pound cannonball robot. Jake paul books showtime fight with battle bam. And that's kind of it's hard actually.
