Bob Gretz joins the YJHTL podcast once again sharing his fasciating stories as a sports writer and top-notch  journalist. Bob talks about his interviewed with Wat Maska he did in 1988. 

Wat Misaka, the son of Japanese immigrants, was a 5-foot-7 guard who starred for the University of Utah on teams that won two national tournament championships at Madison Square Garden in New York in the same year. Then joined the Knicks there in 1947. Wat was the first person of color to play in modern professional basketball in 1947. 

Bob explains how Wat's sense of humor helped him through his struggles as a Japanese American during WW 2. This is a great, fascinating and inspiring podcast.

We at YJHTL enjoy creating humor, but not at the expenses of others making them appear foolish or stupid. We offer you some great pranks to do that are just genuinely funny and harmless.

Your charming and very funny host points our lives in America are based on buying, selling and consuming sh*t. This is a very funny and short podcast for your listening pleasure. Please share this sh*t with everytone.

If you offended by the word sh*t - you probably shouldn't listen to this sh*t.

Award winning author David Naster gives Nobel Prize winner Albert Einstein the explanation he searched a lifetime for.

Albert Einstein wrote in a letter to his daughter, “There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.”

Well, Uncle Albert, (not actually a relative, just having fun) Davey boy here is about to give you that definition you never received. You may wonder what qualifies me for such a comprehensive undertaking, and I can answer that in five words; I discovered an accurate definition.
