Episode 21 Khalil Meade

12/17/19 For this episode we welcomed our good friend Khalil Meade. He is currently studying business and competing in discus and shot put at Cal Poly Pomona, and he has become a popular counselor at summer camp.Additionally, previous guest Ian Silva sat in on the show. After recapping our weekends, a few sports topics were covered: Jacob explained NFL coin toss protocol because of the debacle at the start of the Rams/Cowboys game; Drew Brees breaking the career passing touchdown record; LeBron James and his new view on load management; Anthony Rendon signing with the Angels (0:00-35:40). Then we turned our attention to Khalil and first talked about the different ways that people re-seal bread packages, and how Khalil almost broke a kitchen (35:40-44:00). Jake asked Khalil how they met, and we learned about Khalil's family (44:00-54:50). From there we transitioned into the more serious discussion of how Khalil lost him mother to cancer a few years ago. Khalil let us in to that struggle, what his mother meant to him, and how he has grown as an individual through that process (54:50-1:07:45). Then we turned our attention back to his dad a little bit, and that lead straight into a discussion about Khalil's education in private school and his views on being raised by two teachers and the education system overall (1:07:45-1:24:45). Next we had a thorough discussion about Khalil's faith and being a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA), specifically on how he processes what happens after death and the role of doubting and questioning faith in a healthy way (1:24:45-1:57:20). Our last topical conversation was about Khalil's involvement in sports, specifically field events, and the philosophical discussion of being a team player in an individual setting, and what motivates him to train and perform (1:57:20-2:14:20). We ended with Jake asking some of his fun, random questions, so we learned about some of Khalil's musical leanings and his favorite memories of interacting with the other three of us (2:14:20-2:30:26).
