Michael discuss the recent shooting of Jacob Blake and the subsequent shooting of two protesters at the protest for Jacob Blake. Michael also discusses the NBA  boycott of playoff games this week. What are the long term effects after the boycott today, should the NBA players have listed to Kyrie from the beginning? What will the NFL players do? Michael also poses a challenge for everyone that was so quick to ask the NBA players "whats next"? Tune In you do not want to miss this conversation!

Michael discusses the newly selected Democratic VP candidate Kamala Harris and the backlash she received from the black community and how the participation awards have crept into the professional ranks. He also takes a further look into why two Power 5 conferences have postponed their season due to Player Petitions DISGUISED as Covid Concerns. Tune in to hear NBA predictions and why Michael wants the Utah Jazz swept out of the playoffs in the first round!

Michael discusses what the implications could be if NCAA football does not take place. NCAA Presidents and Conference Commissioners make millions of dollars literally off the back of players, how is this even remotely fair once you begin to peel back the layers? Why would NFL players play if they feel it is unsafe? Money management has been brought to the forefront of this issue. A number of  NFL players have opted out of the 2020 NFL season while others feel hamstrung by financial obligations. This is a very "sportsy" (we made that word up) podcast but as usual filled with great information! Tune In!

Michael tries to understand how we have become so stupid as a nation with all the information that is at the tip of our fingers. He ask some pretty simple questions like "what good would you be to the government, if they were actually trying to 'get you'?" Michael also discuses life in the NBA2K bubble and some wild hair choices of players in the bubble. There is also some discussion on why LeBron fans bug! We also lost a Civil Rights legend this week in John Lewis RIP, while another individual lost his life in the name of politics, the polar opposites. This is a multi directional episode so just strap in!

Michael discusses some of the recent conversations that Ice Cube has been having around his thoughts on Hollywood. There was some talks around the 3rd installment of the Friday series but turns out he may not own the rights and we may not even get the movie. Why? Michael again asks the tough questions of why our celebrities preach ownership and don't even own their thoughts or ideas. We are in a precarious time with their platforms starting to skew what is good for the whole and not just them. Now more than ever our voice needs to come from the collective, this episode will surely rub some the wrong way but that means its working! Tune in!

Michael discusses why it is important for individuals with a platform to shut the hell up if they are not going to research the things the say. Desean Jackson and Nick Cannon have been in the news lately on back to back weeks for anti-Semitic comments and others jump to their defense and look just as ignorant as them. This is a dangerous course to set as we continue to fight for equality in America. Racism, prejudice , and stereotyping should not be practiced by any human. Michael then shifts his focus to "black ownership" and promoting  the black community, individuals that have platforms 10 times out of 10 look for other individuals with current platforms when they are trying to push a certain agenda, this is counterproductive when it comes to furthering black empowerment and also talking ownership when they themselves do not own anything. This episode will surely generate conversation! Tune in!

Michael discusses why Kanye West running for president should not upset you, but it should make you take a deeper dive into the other candidates that we have. Kanye has a list of missteps along the way and has said some questionable things in the past that he has also apologized for. What makes Donald Trump or Joe Biden any better than Kanye West? At first glance you may think of some things but Michael will challenge you to look at this through a different lens. Tune in with an open mind an ear...and if you still disagree then we can have a debate about it!

Michael discusses how change in America does not "take time" when it is centered around a certain group of people. Bipartisan "debates" and "filibusters" only take place when it is the rights of black people in America. Michael breaks down a time in recent memory where the world stopped completely because of an attack on American soil.On September 11, 2001 America came to a screeching halt, on September 12, 2001 the way you traveled via air was never the same! Change does not take time, it obviously must take being white. Michael also talks about the disparity in the pay for black quarterbacks in the NFL and how black people were very vocal about Dak not deserving 40 plus million a year but are also upset that Cam Newton only got 7.5 million from the patriots. Tune in, listen, and challenge your thought process!

Michael discusses everything from K-Pop to Kyrie Irving. When Donald Trump imagined 1 million people would got to see him in Tulsa, Oklahoma his narcissistic brain would not even let him fathom he was being trolled. With the NBA season scheduled to start at the end of July one NBA superstar has stated on numerous occasions the players should not play to continue to keep the focus on social justice and not enter basketball to the equation as a distraction to the people. Michael also tries to understand why people are so surprised by Joe Rogans Ineptitude and Bill Simmons unwillingness to hire black people. Tune in, the Expert is back!
