#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.

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.#rtbthShow Referenceshttps://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-butterhttps://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

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.

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.

#rtbth is back after a little bit of a hiatus due to....well...doctoral responsibilities 😩 And that is what Tunde and Herschel are discussing on the this episode. Tunde and Herschel recently completed their PhDs and reflect on the doctoral journey on the podcast. The trials and tribulations of graduate school, the oppressiveness of academia, the hedonic treadmill and other topics are discussed. (Listen to the end for a snippet about H5's first flight and cruise.) (Feel free hit up H4 for stats consulting - [email protected].)

Friend of the podcast Kim Thompson and Techno DJ by the name of spcl.k returns to the podcast to talk DeepTech, house music, and.....Northwestern Football?   Turns out Kim is a former Northwestern University football player.   Tunde sat down with his good friend Kim to talk about the ongoing hazing scandal that struck the Northwestern football team last summer, ultimately leading to the firing of 17-year head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Let's just say Kim is not unfamiliar with some of the hazing allegations being levied.    Tune in to hear Kim's perspective.    Be sure to check out spcl.k's latest EP - https://open.spotify.com/album/7cumPxeAAxNDNVBKjwETgQ?si=YlxhTGjkRH-HbTsme6LTlA Show References   https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/07/08/sports/former-nu-football-player-details-hazing-allegations-after-coach-suspension/https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/10/06/sports/football/football-pat-fitzgerald-files-130-million-lawsuit-against-nu-schill/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Gymnastics_sex_abuse_scandalhttps://www.si.com/college/michigan/football/university-michigan-football-jim-harbaugh-bo-schembechler-robert-anderson-sexual-abusehttps://bleacherreport.com/articles/1960345-jonathan-martin-richie-incognito-investigation-report-releasedhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/state-university-tuition-increase-spending-41a58100https://apnews.com/article/dwight-howard-sexual-assault-lawsuit-nba-7bcfb45342393b48ddf07fd62e93fecehttps://bleacherreport.com/articles/2496743-michael-sams-story-may-not-have-a-hollywood-endinghttps://apnews.com/article/carl-nassib-retirement-nfl-buccaneers-raiders-browns-bbb18b179fe381270d341a2586dfadbchttps://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2023-08-10/why-this-latino-football-player-is-suing-northwestern-over-abusehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Saints_bounty_scandalhttps://youtu.be/-5EQIiabJvk?si=huUbQVx1AYEt6m_bhttps://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-far-can-amapiano-gohttps://www.insomniac.com/music/artists/oddson/

A conversation with DKT.   Darrick, Kalo, and Tunde are psychologists (in-training) in Boston. In this episode they discuss a talk they attended in Brockton, MA, by school psychologist Dr. Umar Johnson. Dr. Umar is a firebrand commentator on social and political issues, trained in the assessment and treatment of children in school settings, and the self-proclaimed Prince of Pan-Africanism. His voice and perspectives are well underrepresented in mainstream psychology, but he's found a way to be heard. DKT reflect on Umar's comments and discuss their own experiences as underrepresented minorities working in the mental health field.   Show links   https://www.instagram.com/p/CtSill8rxhf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://youtu.be/VKa1HBz_CuQ https://www.apa.org/workforce/data-tools/demographics https://www.npr.org/2022/07/29/1113045369/black-men-special-education https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/historyofskiing/2022/05/03/white-as-snow-an-examination-of-race-within-skiing/ https://www.apa.org/about/policy/racism-apology https://www.psychiatry.org/news-room/news-releases/apa-apologizes-for-its-support-of-racism-in-psychi http://pure-oai.bham.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/133846899/274_Article_Text_731_2_10_20151118.pdf https://carjiescott.com/2018/06/17/cdc-report-on-fathers-involvement-proves-that-black-dads-are-most-involved-and-the-pew-research-center-reports-that-the-role-of-the-american-dad-is-changing/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr071.pdf

FAAX is the new acronym signifying an emerging public health concern - fentanyl adulterated or associated with xylazine.   The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy declared fentanyl adulterated with xylazine an emerging threat on April 12, 2023.   I mean, just look at some of the damage it can do - https://www.nejm.org/na101/home/literatum/publisher/mms/journals/content/nejm/0/nejm.ahead-of-print/nejmp2303120/20230426/images/img_medium/nejmp2303120_f2.jpeg    One of our co-hosts, Herschel Skywalker, works at the CDC and has been researching this emerging threat for a few years. Herschel and Tune to the Moon discuss this and whether fentanyl should be considered a matter of biochemical warfare. Sounds farfetched but there have been talks in congress about designating fentanyl a WMD 😬😬   The pandemic is waning but overdose deaths are still a massive public health crisis. Xylazine is ramping it up in ways we couldn't have predicted.   Also debuting new intro music produced by Blackmon Sound Productions.    #rtbth   Show Links Healey: Purdue Settlement Will Unlock Sackler 'Secrets' Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military Opioids Feel Like Love.

We are living in a golden age of scam.   Or, according to actor Ben McKenzie and journalist Jacob Silverman, in their upcoming book Easy Money, a golden age of fraud.     Be it fraud or scam - the point is that deception will take you far in the world today. The election of George Santos to congress is a perfect example of this. The downfall of SBF, founder and former CEO of FTX, is another glearing example of the heights (and depths) scam and deception will take you in the world today.     Deception, unfortunately, is a valuable social currency.     #rtbth discusses the #goldenageofscam with first time guest of the podcast Okechi Okoroafor, financial analyst and graduate of NYU Stern Business School, and creator of the blog budgetunconscious.com.     Show Links budgetunconscious.com   https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scam   - https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-02-09/column-pandemic-scams   https://marcellus.in/story/the-golden-age-of-fraud-is-upon-us/   https://newrepublic.com/article/165663/covid-19-pandemic-fraud-crypto-nfts-bitcoin   https://www.wiux.org/article/2022/05/the-golden-age-of-scamming-why-we-are-so-fascinated-by-fraud   https://www.google.com/books/edition/Easy_Money/fBlMzwEACAAJ?hl=en   https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/11/crypto-peaked-in-nov-2021-investors-lost-more-than-2-trillion-since.html   https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/23/opinions/crypto-black-investors-carmona/index.html   https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/man-purchased-lamborghini-after-receiving-39-million-ppp-loans   https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140823783/a-congressional-report-says-financial-technology-companies-fueled-rampant-ppp-fr   https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html   https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/lawyer-michael-avenatti-sentenced-14-years-federal-prison-stealing-millions-dollars   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53309873   https://qz.com/africa/1879261/fbi-use-instagram-to-get-dubai-nigerian-fraudster-hushpuppi   https://g.co/kgs/7E78BE   https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-183   https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/29/sam-bankman-fried-reading-effective-altruism/   https://twitter.com/coffeebreak_YT/status/1606349116157693970?s=20&t=ADtyyQnWcG6wVn3qHqgsig   https://www.coindesk.com/learn/what-you-need-to-know-about-401k-accounts-with-bitcoin/   https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/05/social-media-democracy-trust-babel/629369/   https://twitter.com/rt__bth/status/1268543812831449094?s=20&t=SePE9A9kxfYI-3vdcLcUCg

#rtbth introduces a new segment to the podcast - Social Dilemmas.   The concept came up when discussing in the group chat the Theranos scandal and Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing. Some of us think it's pretty harsh - imagine being put in prison for 11 years for lying (perpetually) to a bunch of rich old white men seduced by a charismatic young (college dropout) fake genius. Holmes wasn't convicted of fraud to consumers - for providing false readings of blood tests. She was only convicted of defrauding investors.   Some of us think the proper punishment for Holmes and similar egregious fraudsters who induce this level of societal harm is .... the death penalty.   The social dilemma? - Is prison right/fair for a non-violent criminal whose crime is mostly lying to a bunch of rich, powerful people? Or is the societal harm caused by fraud at this level so damaging that the only option is to (gulp) eliminate the fraudster? Given the recent revelations of the massive fraud committed by former CEO of FTX, SBF, the discussion is rather salient.   Tune in to hear the #hottakes   Podcast Links https://dictionary.apa.org/social-dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood:_Secrets_and_Lies_in_a_Silicon_Valley_Startup https://www.reuters.com/article/us-wework-m-a-softbank/wework-gets-2-billion-after-softbank-cuts-planned-investment-idUSKCN1P21OH https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/27/uber-one-of-only-3-unprofitable-companies-worth-more-than-50-billion.html https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/state-and-federal-info/state-by-state https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/an-introduction-to-eusociality-15788128/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3279739/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/07/10bn-dollar-question-marcos-millions-nick-davies https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/11/18/elizabeth-holmes-what-convictions-and-acquittals-led-up-to-her-sentencing/ https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-the-southwest/coffeezilla-the-youtuber-exposing-crypto-scams https://youtu.be/mVrMpk4lGjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbgRB3arCpY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiyQana_qvs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingmaker_(film) http://bogan.dyson.cornell.edu/doc/Hartford/Bogan-9_GreaterFools.pdf https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8740976/ https://nypost.com/2019/09/13/porn-site-bangbros-submits-bid-to-rename-miami-heat-arena/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_in_Biology_Makes_Sense_Except_in_the_Light_of_Evolution
