    #rtbth LIVE with Emory U.

    #rtbth records our first LIVE VIDEO PODCAST at Emory University! The co-hosts, Tunde and Herschel - both alumni of Emory University - teamed up with The Emory Alumni Association - sponsored by the Emory Impact Circles and the Caucus of Emory Black Alumni - to record a live podcast on Emory's campus. The co-hosts bring the usual conversational, informal and informed, and mildly spicy style of beyond the headlines real-talk. The broad topic for this conversation was consumption in the black community. We cover dark patterns, parasocial relationships, Tunde's fraught relationship with "YN" rap, black people using psychedelics and more! And of course we start the podcast addressing the rollback of DEI at Emory U.

    "We Deserve it."

    Part 2 of our podcast featuring JSwill, #rtbth west coast correspondent. JSwill tells us how and why the lakers always get the big star - this time that star being Luka Legend.

    Fork in the Road

    No intro music!! 2025 has launched into a frenzy, starting off with a terrorist attack on the first in New Orleans, a surprise (officially) lawsuit from Drake the rapper suing Universal Music Group (and by proxy his archnemesis Kendrick Lamar), and then accelerating into the never-before-seen territory of government by Elon Trump after the Trump inauguration. And then Herschel got a completely unhinged email entitled "Fork in the Road." While we don't want to sound hyperbolic, January 2025 felt like a major inflection point along the trajectory of our nation - and our nation's collective (in)sanity. We had to do an emergency podcast to talk it out. #rtbth Show References https://www.xxlmag.com/drake-taunted-kendrick-lamar-not-like-us-grammy-sweep/ https://www.complex.com/sports/a/backwoodsaltar/jason-whitlock-joy-taylor-lawsuit-peanut-butter https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/us/reagan-airport-flights-congress.html?unlocked_article_code=1.u04.9zJ0.BdzHzVcAOoh5&smid=url-sharehttps://www.citationneeded.news/issue-75/ https://www.boston.com/community/readers-say/2025/01/27/earthquake-experiences/https://wapo.st/3Q1PWpJhttps://www.opm.gov/forkhttps://www.axios.com/2025/01/30/elon-musk-government-takeover-federal-workershttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/opinion/nvidia-deepseek-ai-valuation-ouroboros.html?unlocked_article_code=1.u04.uupn.M6scifxbV8ME&smid=url-sharehttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/us/politics/musk-federal-government.html?unlocked_article_code=1.vE4.ClEt.Ci_S1nwmfdFB&smid=url-sharehttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/trump-musk-doge-engineers/681580/?gift=Jk8OVFznkwVV8TutfsyrUZqwHF_dzVVl3aXYVe9_DNY&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharehttps://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5277029/trump-memo-halt-fundinghttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/05/rfk-jr-hearing-black-people-immune-systemshttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/12/trofim-lysenko-soviet-union-russia/548786/https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781315708652-18/neurohype-scott-lilienfeld-elizabeth-aslinger-julia-marshall-sally-satelhttps://x.com/billmaher/status/1885543037557694765https://www.econtalk.org/what-modern-medicine-gets-wrong-with-marty-makary/https://www.science.org/content/article/mixed-reactions-greet-trump-s-pick-longtime-fda-critic-head-agencyhttps://stanfordreview.org/why-i-believe-dr-jay-bhattacharya-will-make-a-phenomenal-nih-director-a-students-perspective/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/opinion/alzheimers-fraud-cure.html?unlocked_article_code=1.vE4.JQVA.Uj6f7k_kBpuc&smid=url-sharehttps://www.science.org/content/article/damning-fda-inspection-report-undermines-positive-trial-results-possible-alzheimer-shttps://wapo.st/4hoRaHyhttps://archive.is/4kIp5https://wapo.st/40GAhRqhttps://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/05/12/cnn-ted-turner-lisa-napolihttps://news.bloomberglaw.com/employee-benefits/musk-defends-500-million-twitter-severance-suit-win-on-appealhttps://newrepublic.com/post/185832/donald-trump-roasted-concepts-planhttps://www.axios.com/2024/07/31/trump-nabj-interview-black-jobs-rhetorichttps://www.persuasion.community/p/dei-must-changehttps://wapo.st/4jQSnJyhttps://youtu.be/AkmkMPIW0MM?si=gM1e5YEuA1ylRsvihttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/magazine/anna-lembke-interview.html?unlocked_article_code=1.vE4.ElCL.fsdM1n_mrrpl&smid=url-share

    Softwave and Psychedelics

    Tunde and friend of the podcast atl_p continue the conversation from the previous podcast and discuss Softwave technology (with a brief detour into psychedelics). P discusses his history of knee injuries and pain and how Softwave has helped him recover. P's story of going from "peg leg" to feeling like his leg is "coming back online" is rather fascinating. Check us out! *sidenote* - Despite Tunde's implicit hope for ballot 4 to pass in MA in the most recent election, it in factdid not pass 😿.

    Opening Night NBA talk ft. atl_p

    Friend of the podcast and Atlanta sports expert atl_p returns to the podcast to discuss the start of the NBA season on the league's opening night. Topics range from the very stacked western conference, to the charade that is Bronny James getting drafted by the Lakers, and a full breakdown of the ATL Hawks season prospects with the addition of the #1 overall draft pick. The discussants also take a detour into the Palestine/Israel conflict, and atl_p shares some very sharp insights. (*correction: Bronny James was drafted 55th overall.) This is the first of a two-part podcast featuring atl_p. The next episode covers Softwave therapy and how its helped P rehabilitate his knee. (A little psychedelics talk sprinkled in as well.) #rtbth #youhearditherefirst #raybansthcblessingstherapyhottakes Show References https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2014/05/01/when-children-swear-lindsay-goodwin https://www.parent.com/blogs/conversations/2016-why-you-should-let-your-kids-swear https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bill+Belicheat#:~:text=Bill%20Belicheat%20mug.-,Bill%20Belicheat,-Bill%20Belicheat%20is https://www.fastcustomshirts.com/belicheat-t-shirt/ https://www.npr.org/2024/10/23/nx-s1-5162116/lebron-bronny-james-lakers-father-son https://www.nba.com/playoffs/2023/bracket https://nypost.com/2021/11/29/lebron-james-is-the-king-of-hypocrisy-when-it-comes-to-china/ https://kareem.substack.com/p/my-thoughts-on-israel-hamas-and-a https://inthesetimes.com/article/ta-nehisi-coates-israel-liberalism-gaza-the-messenger https://youtu.be/uHqs15gOv4k?si=q48fJ8STFJskrJZc https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/26/world/middleeast/the-meaning-of-the-first-icj-ruling-in-the-genocide-case-against-israel.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WE4.9r-l.xkexMHj8SKin&smid=url-share https://www.nba.com/news/2024-nba-draft-lakers-select-bronny-james https://talksport.com/basketball/2162611/bronny-james-contract-lebron-money-nba-deal/ https://gleague.nba.com/news/cavalier-sign-luke-travers-to-two-way-contract https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/22862062/warriors-nba-two-way-contracts-explained-faq https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/LAL.html https://www.nba.com/playoffs/2024/bracket https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MIN.html https://www.spotrac.com/nba/contracts https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nbas-biggest-contracts-jayson-tatum-overtakes-jaylen-brown-for-largest-deal-in-league-history/ https://nypost.com/2024/09/30/sports/a-j-griffin-reveals-reason-for-shock-nba-retirement-at-21-years-old/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/htux78/do_you_guys_think_its_possible_for_georgia_state/ https://atlanta.eater.com/maps/best-sandwiches-atlanta#:~:text=Visit%20Website-,How%20Crispy%20Express,-It%E2%80%99s%20all%20about https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1g8sfor/clark_dejounte_murray_in_atlanta_i_was_in_the/ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10126281-hawks-zaccharie-risacher-compares-himself-to-warriors-klay-thompson-after-nba-draft https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/28/opinion/private-equity.html

    The #rtbth co-hosts continue the conversation from Doc Talk, i.e., Doc Talk part 2. The focus on this one is the drug overdose crisis/the fentanyl crisis. It turns out that both Tunde and Herschel had some exposure to this significant national problem during graduate school. Herschel studying the epidemiology of opioid drug overdoses, and Tunde working in a clinic treating substance use problems. The co-hosts discuss what they learned and perspectives.
