I Am Kobe

Gender, identity, mental health, LGBTQ+ civil rights—these don’t have to be confusing, intimidating conversations. Everyone from your grandma to your best friend has an opinion on these issues, and Schuyler Bailar, the celebrated activist, author, and trailblazing transgender athlete (the first to compete in NCAA Division 1) is here for it. Each week, Dear Schuyler invites cultural movers to join him in provocative and personal conversations about how gender issues impact all of us. They include thought leaders like actress-activist Dylan Mulvaney, NCAA champion swimmer Lia Thomas, NFL Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion Brendon Ayanbadejo, Olympian Megan Rapino, and many others. Every episode focuses on a topical, listener-sourced question. You can submit your own question at DearSchuyler.com. Sometimes the conversation is fun, other times it may get uncomfortable, but in the end, Schuyler and his guests give us the perspective and vocabulary to better understand each other in today’s evolving world. Would you like to better understand gender and identity? Want to explore what being an ally can really mean? However you define yourself — you’re in the right place. Dear Schuyler humanizes these conversations. Subscribe to Diversion+ on Apple Podcasts and get every episode of Dear Schuyler ad-free!

Welcome back to the Part 2 of our After Dark conversation. Friends, stay strong, stay healthy. While the invasion of Ukraine continues, keep the prayers going and look after each other.

I am grateful that you could join us today as a bit. of relief from the global tension. We get into a broad conversation around mental health and much much more. If for any reason you need to talk to someone today regarding how you are feeling, please call 800-273-8255.

I hesitated on releasing this episode this week. It’s been a heavy week and I don’t want to appear tone deaf or insensitive to the global climate. As a disclaimer, we recorded this prior to this week’s events, and in a way, perhaps, this episode can act as a brief pause on the hard reality we are all sharing.

That said, this week we get a little X rated as we dive into some very “after dark” content that is definitely not suitable for kids. Our friend Catherine, who came with us to Miami, joins us and shares about her repeat trips to Miami and much much more.

Enjoy the show!

Hello! It’s your friend Sam Pezzullo, welcome back! Lol - My friends, Sam Pezzullo is back on the show today to take the real talk to unreal levels. I allow him to have his way on the show, and ask all the questions.

I do have to say however, that, due to his request I had to catch up on housewives and, while this was such a central part of my life, I am ready to move on. There are so many wonderful aspects of my life I want to press toward, and I am ready to leave the RHO world behind. Sam’s opinions expressed about the show are solely his and his alone. I am so thankful for you all, thanks for coming back this week.

At the second anniversary of Kobe Bryant's death, we explore how the change in Kobe late in his career might have come about and what this “new Kobe” was like. We hear from Carmelo Anthony, future Hall of Famer, 9th-leading scorer in NBA history. And we hear from two players on Kobe’s hometown team: the Philadelphia 76ers. Mike Sielski spoke with Seth Curry and Tobias Harris about their vantage points on Kobe: what it was like to grow up watching him and what it was like to meet him and play against him. And more importantly, we spoke about why Kobe’s presence and spirit are still felt throughout the NBA.

Hello friends! Today is going to be the SWEETEST episode you’ve heard this year. First though, does anyone have a kick ass real estate agent or broker who wants to come on the show?? Riley and I are attempting to buy a home and we’d love to hear from someone who can tell why this market is so ridiculous. We made an offer and got out bid by $300k!!! DM me on instagram and send me a resource!

Today on the show we have Tenley Leopold from the Bachelor S14, Bachelor Pad, and Bachelor in Paradise. I am excited to here all things before & after her experience on the show, early motherhood, and much more.

Enjoy the show!

Let's drill down on the physical and mental attributes that made Kobe Bryant a great basketball player--the granular stuff that basketball junkies love. We examine each stage of Kobe's life and career through the eyes of someone who knew Kobe well at each stage. We have three coaches with ties to Kobe to break everything down. First, you’ll hear from Ashley Howard, who grew up with Kobe and played against him when they were kids. He had been Jay Wright’s top assistant coach on two national-championship teams at Villanova, and now he’s the head coach at La Salle University.

In Part 2 of this episode you’ll hear from Temple University head coach Aaron McKie, who played 13 seasons in the NBA. Aaron finished his career with the Lakers; he was Kobe’s teammate there for two years. But before that, he had to guard him a couple of times each season -- and throughout the 2001 NBA Finals, when Kobe’s Lakers beat Aaron’s 76ers.

In Part 3 you’ll hear from Brett Brown. Brett has known Kobe for a long time and in a lot of ways. He game-planned against him and got to coach him in two NBA All-Star Games when Brett was an assistant under Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs. He coached against Kobe in the Olympics, when Kobe was on the U.S. team and Brett was the head coach of the Australian team. And Brett was the Sixers’ head coach when Kobe played his final game in Philadelphia, in December 2015.
