Amber recently ran the Publix Atlanta half marathon (in the cold and with nonstop rain!) and has not stopped talking about it. She also talks about the Russia/Ukraine war and how media outlets across the globe are showing their bigotry by expressing their sympathy towards the Ukrainians because they have European blond-haired, blue-eyed features. Oh, and WNBA star Britney Griner was detained in Russia for transporting hashish oil cartridges in her luggage. Shit stay happenin.' --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/amber-north/support

Where you been, Kwame?! They been roasting you for two straight decades! It's never too late for a comeback, though, so bravo, Bro. All The Smoke is still a podcast fave, but the roastfest was definitely in the former No. 1 NBA Draft pick's favor. There's even more NBA action with the end-of-season awards and playoffs underway.
