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_scandal https://www.si.com/college/michigan/football/university-michigan-football-jim-harbaugh-bo-schembechler-robert-anderson-sexual-abuse https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1960345-jonathan-martin-richie-incognito-investigation-report-released https://www.wsj.com/articles/state-university-tuition-increase-spending-41a58100 https://apnews.com/article/dwight-howard-sexual-assault-lawsuit-nba-7bcfb45342393b48ddf07fd62e93fece https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2496743-michael-sams-story-may-not-have-a-hollywood-ending https://apnews.com/article/carl-nassib-retirement-nfl-buccaneers-raiders-browns-bbb18b179fe381270d341a2586dfadbc https://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2023-08-10/why-this-latino-football-player-is-suing-northwestern-over-abuse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Saints_bounty_scandal https://youtu.be/-5EQIiabJvk?si=huUbQVx1AYEt6m_b https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-far-can-amapiano-go https://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

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

#rtbth concludes the coronavirus chronicles series.    We're moving into a reality where our economic (in)stability, escalating sociocultural strife, and the hyper-conservative bent of the supreme court pose greater threats to the nation than the coronavirus.    We see no need to chronicle the coronavirus pandemic any further.

The first ever "Where have they been" segment on #rtbth, a sister version to the "Where are they now" series.   #rtbth talks with a former union salter aka an undercover agent for labor unions whose goal is to (covertly) stir union sentiment and organize employees. Given the reported backbreaking work conditions in Amazon distribution warehouses (and many other corporations), unionization efforts are proliferating across the nation. Unionization starts from within, so salters are an essential piece of that puzzle.

In true #rtbth fashion, we're mainly conversational, we touch on our own experience as data analysts and academicians, and we're cracking jokes the whole time. OH! I forgot to mention that our guest is the INSTIGATOR aka the King of Unpopular Opinions. He's also an MD/PhD student with years of academic research experience so his takes are certainly worthwhile.   Join the conversation and search #rtbth on any platform.

Another one! Starting to pick up the pace of our podcast drops, and we hope you like this one! On this episode we have @OfficialPootah who runs the PootahTV channel on YouTube. Talking with Pootah we are mainly just talking about his business, and what its like to run a media company. As always, we gotta get some hot takes about the city of Atlanta! And Pootah has some great perspective, being that PootahTV is based out of Atlanta. Couple hot takes about the rap game. Listen up! @rtbth @OfficialPootah Check out PootahTV on YouTube

It came up after we came across a crazy story news story (https://ktla.com/2019/06/06/suspect-barricaded-after-firing-shots-in-san-gabriel-westbound-10-freeway-shut-down/) in San Gabriel that included fireworks? guns? a shootout with the police? A shutdown highway? Only in LA! Tune into the podcast to hear our takes on it. Plus we start off with a quick recap of EDC 2019.    As always, Rtbth has the fuego takes for you all day long! #rtbth #podcastlife
