00:00Hey, so before we start this episode, I do want to give you a heads up that we will be talking about some adult subjects. So if you have any people in your life that you're listening to this podcast with, or you yourself are somebody that feels like you don't want to hear about some very personal subjects, then you might want to listen to one of the other episodes or put on a different podcast. You've been warned.00:27Aware of the suffering caused by sexual misconduct, I undertake to cultivate responsibility and learn ways to protect the safety and integrity of individuals, couples, families, and society. I am determined not to engage in sexual relations without love and long-term commitment. To preserve the happiness of myself and others, I am determined to respect my commitments00:57and the commitments of others. I will do everything in my power to protect children from sexual abuse and to prevent couples and families from being broken by sexual misconduct. That's out of Thich Nhat Hanh's 5 mindfulness trainings.01:25I want to welcome you to the Imperfect Buddhist, where we discuss mindfulness and incorporating Zen principles into modern life. My name is Matthew Hawk Mahoney, and today's episode is titled Buddhism and Masturbation.01:44Bye!01:59First, I want to say thank you so much for joining me on this path together as we learn about and share experiences of incorporating mindfulness, Buddhist or Zen teachings into our modern lives. Thanks for choosing this podcast out of all the other Buddhist podcasts and mindfulness podcasts that are out there. It really means a lot.02:23Understanding Buddhism, Zen, and Sexuality. Anybody familiar with Zen or Buddhism will be familiar with the concept of mindfulness, which is the teaching that one can train themselves to place their awareness in the present moment and through this awareness one can come into contact with truth or the way things are with the Dharma.02:50If you were to look at old school Buddhism, old school Buddhist teachings, the Dhammapada, a lot of these teachings seem to be aimed at monks, people living in a community where practice was at the forefront of their life day in, day out, when they would eat, there was a ceremony, a practice that they would do, when they would sweep the floor, when they would meditate, when they would sleep, all these things were regimented and they were not allowed to.03:18have any type of sexual relations with other people in the organization or outside the organization, strictly forbidden. And in some Buddhist teachings, it was taught that sexuality or sex lust were a defilement of the mind, that they led to endless suffering and rebirth and negative karma.03:47self-pleasure. Sure, some people within monasteries or even lay practitioners view sexuality or sex in the same way that it's a defilement and a distraction from the path of liberation. But then in modern times you also have the Thich Nhat Hanh flavor, which I read that at the beginning there that it's not saying that there's anything inherently wrong with sexuality. It's as natural as eating. However, just like with eating,04:15they recommend a mindful approach, being present, being aware in sexual activity, being present and aware with whom you have sexual relations with, what are the impacts, what is the karma related to these sexual relations.04:32Zen Buddhism has an emphasis on direct experience and awakening through the present moment. Through our meditative practices, whether that's zazen, walking meditation, which is known as kinnhin, or other different various awareness training techniques like oriochi, which is a ceremony, a formal way of eating that's there to cultivate awareness. The core aim is this direct experience.05:01of reality in Zen. And so it's never really been a contradiction in my mind when it comes to base sexuality, meaning not using porn to stimulate the mind or live in some type of fantasy and not projecting a bunch of lust on men or women or people around you if you are present in that sexual act. It's a consenting person, of course.05:27and you can be present and mindful and not lose yourself in some type of daydreaming or projection, then it could become a mindfulness practice. There was a time where I thought, okay, my sexuality or masturbation, self-pleasure, sex, are not in alignment with the teachings of Zen Buddhism or these awareness trainings. But then I also adopted this other viewpoint where I said, okay, maybe I can treat it as a mindfulness training.06:00So that said, where am I at with it now? There was a time for the last couple years that I really didn't put much thought into my use of porn, when or how often I masturbated or had sex or lusted. There was not much emphasis or awareness around those things until I started thinking within the last couple weeks about that. About...06:26Where does my practice begin and where does it end when it comes to my own sexuality? And what is healthy? What is in alignment with the path to awakening as I see it? And it's been a challenge. It's been this last week. I've really put an emphasis on it as I've been preparing to talk about this on this episode. I've asked myself, can I not use porn? Can I not fictionalize or...06:55fantasize in my mind when I masturbate. Can I masturbate less? This is maybe TMI, but this is something that needs to be talked about. I think that a lot of people are ashamed to talk about it. It's not normalized in a lot of spiritual communities. And I think that there is, in our current culture and society, I think that there's like this sex positive culture, which can have a lot of benefits.07:21There's a lot of room for interpretation when we talk about like, all sex is good. Embrace your sexuality. That can leave a lot of room for like, what is healthy? What is good for my mind? What will lead me on a path to awareness towards awakening if that's the path that I'm endeavoring to walk down? This last week, I've kind of put some question marks around those questions.07:47When I got that sexual urge, when I have that feeling, it's kind of like being hungry. You can sense it, you can feel it, and there's a desire and a need there. I've experimented with this idea of being present while I did my masturbatory practices and tried to bring my awareness to the sensations that were present. To be quite frank with you, it was pretty unenjoyable. There wasn't a whole lot08:17pleasant about it other than the physical sensations that I created without any type of imagination or fantasy in my mind. Not holding those images in mind or fantasies and just really being present with the act of jerking off. There wasn't a whole lot that was really exciting about it. This experiment left me with a lot of insight. Wow, how much of...08:44this pleasure that I'm getting, how much of it is what they call in Buddhism attachment, fantasy, and illusion? How much of this pleasure I'm deriving is it from some type of imaginary fulfillment of a fantasy I have in my mind? Since doing that, I've had less desire to masturbate.09:08Through our normal meditative practices, like sitting or walking meditation, we cultivate our ability to hold things without judgment. And in this case, I was holding the thing. Wow. We developed that compassion to hold things without judgment. And while I was holding my thing, I was also holding the desires of my mind with compassion and holding it with an element of letting go. Our09:37Culture promotes the idea of these strong sexual attachments and normalizing, in a sense, really strong lust. It's used in ads to sell things. We're using sexuality and sexual desire to sell things, as the saying goes, sex sells.09:58It's good that we are developing a sex positive culture. We're not shaming people for their sexuality, whether that's gay, trans, straight, non-binary, or not interested in sex at all.10:14Catholic Church or other organized religions where sex is prohibited, where sexuality is closeted, and we've seen the horrific things that can happen when someone is in complete denial of their own sexuality, of their own sexual needs and desires. It does seem like in environments where sexuality is swept under the rug, not talked about, act like it doesn't exist, or where it's said that it's just evil, some really terrible sad things happen.11:00Some of the negative effects of mindless masturbation. Don't you like that? That just rolls off the tongue. Mindless masturbation. I've noticed when I use porn, there's a sense of shame and it's interesting, like I won't be very aware while I'm using it and fantasizing and doing the act, but afterwards I noticed there's like kind of this feeling of being grossed out and be like, ugh, what did I just do?11:30shame can come from a lot of places. Porn use and mindless masturbation can have some negative effects. There is the movement of nofap which is about no masturbation essentially and that it has all these benefits of boosting productivity, creativity, self-confidence. Some books mention the negative effects of masturbation on creativity. Think and Grow Rich where he talks about a controlled sexual11:59a huge asset to success that some of the greatest and richest people, greatest creators, channeled and harnessed their sexuality for things other than sexual acts and channeled those into creative works and business. So some people would say that an effect of porn would be a lack of ambition, a lack of genius creativity. And I don't know if that's fact, but that's what some people say.12:29using porn or sexual fantasizing in one's mind is that we can strengthen this pathway of sexualizing individuals. Looking at someone like a piece of meat, that it does strengthen that pathway. Say I've been in a period of really engaging with porn and sexual fantasy and masturbation for a period of time and I get into a conversation with a woman that I find attractive. There is a12:57tendency to zoom in on that sexual aspect and maybe the chasing of that. We're strengthening that way of looking at the world, of looking at certain people. And in doing so, we step away from the direct experience that Zen Buddhism champions. Because instead of being present with a person listening, maybe in that moment we are aware of some type of sexual desire,13:27What that person's saying. The content of what that person's saying. The ideas, the feelings, our own feelings. The sound of the car is going by outside the coffee house as we talk to this person.13:47So I want to come back to this idea of treating masturbation or sexuality as a mindfulness practice. Instead of pushing it away, acting like it doesn't exist, or fully indulging and completely losing our awareness, dissolving our awareness in fantasy, porn, these other ways that we delude ourselves, can we bring an element of mindfulness?14:11The other day when I was employing this idea of being present, I tried to come back to my Hara, which I know a lot of this stuff sounds very hippie, but essentially it's bringing your awareness to a space right below your navel. There is a point of energy there. My mind started to want to fantasize and I was doing this self-pleasure exercise. I came back to my Hara. It really pulled back the energy of this fantasizing and brought me back to the moment.14:42When it comes to shared sexual experiences, this can go a long way because when I am in my head fantasizing, I'm projecting this fantasy and my own sexuality onto this being in front of me. And when I'm doing that, I'm not directly experiencing that being in front of me. I am projecting my own fantasies and illusions. But I've made an effort to be mindful.15:10when I'm kissing my wife to be present in that moment. All these other sensations wake up in me and it's much more pleasurable when it's a shared experience. The juxtaposition is that self-pleasure when it's just you by yourself and you bring a lot of mindfulness. I didn't find it as exciting, but when I had that shared experience with my wife where I'm present, it was less exciting in the sense that my mind wasn't so excited and I wasn't fulfilling some type of fantasy in my mind.15:40but it was much more wholesome and enjoyable and fulfilling to be present with her in the act of sex. People say that everything in our society is driven by sex, by this one act. Like we earn a lot of money so that we can attract a mate, we stockpile resources so that when we find a mate and have sex, we can care for children.16:04we dress in a certain way or present ourselves in a certain way to make ourselves more attractive to a potential sexual partner. And so if all this is leading up to this, we might as well enjoy it. We might as well be present while it's happening to see what all the fuss is about. So we can become mindful of the touch of our partner as they run their fingers down our arm or our back or as we touch them, as we feel their skin on our fingers, as we kiss them. We can become...16:32aware of all these physical sensations on our skin and our nerve endings and focusing in on all the sensations that arise in that present moment, we might start to discover that underneath this buzz of sexual stimulation in our mind, I'm talking about this fantasy in our mind, that maybe there is a sense of connection, there's a sense of oneness and a closer connection of well-being happening.17:06I'm not a master though when it comes to mindfulness or having some type of deep spirituality in my sex life or self-pleasure. And I don't know what the answer is here. Maybe the old teachers and abbots at the temples in Japan are right. Maybe there is not a whole lot of room for sexuality or sexual desire on this spiritual path. I can't see that being the truth as sex is a huge part of who we are.17:35sexuality and sex are so a part of what makes us human. There is a path for incorporating our sexuality into our spiritual lives and that there is a middle path as they talk about in Buddhism, that we don't go too far in either direction and end up falling in the ditch. One ditch being self-denial and acting like18:02We don't have a sexuality. And then the other ditch being unhinged sense, pleasure, desire. I want to encourage you also to reflect on your own porn usage, your own sexuality, your own sex life, and see where does your mindfulness, your present moment awareness go during those acts. Try some of these practices and see if you can bring some awareness into your sex life.18:37Thank you so much for tuning in and being present with me through this sticky situation.

Today's guest and I have lived parallel-ish lives. Growing up “ordinary” her in the north, me in the south, Grace Dent and I both spent our childhood eating baked beans, angel delight and funny coloured school custard, we both “thought we were IT” apparently and we both got our first break on the weekly real life magazine, Chat and somehow wangled our way into glossy magazines. But there our paths diverged because Grace Dent went on to become “one of the nation's best loved food writers” quote unquote and the woman who brought true potato love to Masterchef.As well as being a Masterchef regular, she is the guardian's restaurant critic, fortnum restaurant writer of the year, host of the Comfort Eating podcast and the author of two memoirs, the bestselling Hungry, and now Comfort Eating, about what we eat when no-one's looking. It would be understating it to say I over-identified.Grace joined me to talk about how the hell of secondary school never leaves you, deciding it was time to get sober, balancing her problematic gen x body image with eating for a living, why she moved home in her 40s to care for her mum and dad and The actual crime of being 50If you enjoyed this episode you might also like my conversations with Kate Spicer and Marina Hyde.

In this story, there is a pivotal moment. Some Greeks come to Philip with a simple yet profound request, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus." (John 12:21) That's a powerful statement b/c the desire to see Jesus is the deep desire inside everybody who seeks Jesus. It's really a deep yearning for more than just a glimpse…it's a deep and sincere desire to be transformed. They didn't want to meet Jesus or hang out with him…they wanted to be changed by Him.

It was Eric's birthday yesterday, and we're excited to celebrate it! If you want to give him the best birthday gift ever, call in with a realllllly bad argument for the existence of God. Like, just the worst one. He'll love it. Wish him well at 585-526-8774 or https://tiny.cc/callSG.If you want to get Eric a birthday present but don't want to call in, check out our Amazon wishlist at https://tiny.cc/SGwishlist. ___________________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES 00:00 - Intro - Happy Birthday, Eric! 02:42 - This Theist Caller LOSES It - Chris (he/him) - WI17:08 - Is Occam's Razor Dangerous? - Javier (he/him) - SC33:46 - A Skeptical Theist? - Robert (he/him) - MA 45:30 - Dealing with Emergencies As an Atheist - Keith (he/him) - NJ 55:40 - Should I Stop Being A Pagan? - Brendan (he/him) - SC1:10:04 - Are Conspiracy Theories Skeptics? Seth (any/all) - MA 1:17:05 - When Is a Belief Too Harmful to Ignore? - Nick (he/him) - UT1:28:25 - Superchats03:20What starts off as a potentially productive call quickly goes off the rails as this theist caller goes from telling us we don't have morals, to saying we are still Christians, to ranting about how terrible Planned Parenthood is and ultimately dissolving into… blowing raspberries? Really? Anyway, Eric gets rightfully pissed and you should be too. 17:11 Repeat theist caller Javier wants to better understand Occam's razor, especially since a friend claimed that using it could result in innocent people being accused of murder! Are we using this logical tool correctly, and are there situations where we may need to put the razor down in favor of other methodological approaches? 33:56 Is it possible to be skeptical and a theist at the same time? Eric and Vi say yes, but it's not as simple as being a skeptic or not being one. Many of us are skeptical about certain things, and remain quite credulous about others. The question is: how are you applying skepticism and is it getting you good results? 45:43 TW: Pet death Have you ever felt the urge to pray during an emergency, even though you didn't really believe in God? This caller was feeling something similar as his cat was suffering renal failure. Spoiler alert: the cat survived! But this left us all wondering… why do we feel the need to pray or ask for divine help when something bad happens, even as atheists? 55:50If your beliefs aren't going away on their own, should you “force it”? This pagan caller wants to know if he should be getting rid of his beliefs. Eric points out that while discussing metaphysical ideas is important, it's best to start with the practical and make sure your beliefs are not putting you in harm's way. Vi encourages the caller to sit in the discomfort and figure out how his god beliefs influence a pragmatic worldview. 1:10:19 What would you say if you encountered a science teacher who was also a flat earther? What if that person called themself a skeptic? This caller is concerned that the term “skeptic” is getting used by conspiracy theorists and making it more difficult to find credible sources. Is this something the hosts are concerned about? 1:17:12When is a belief too harmful to ignore? This former Mormon caller is struggling to maintain relationships with his family as they continue to pursue their faith. He asks the hosts if there's a point where he should break ties. Eric points out that making people uncomfortable is a necessary step in the path to rationality. Vi encourages the caller to think about how to use their position to counteract bad ideas. ___________________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

Timestamps & Summary 1:41Could you give us an overview of the biological impact of stress on the dairy cow reproduction?Dr. Matt LucyI think stress is a big factor in our ability to get cows pregnant. Traditionally, we always thought about the effects of stress on ovarian function. Whether or not the cow had started cycling and come into heat. But more recently, what we work on now is trying to understand specifically how stress affects uterine function and the preparation of the uterus for that pregnancy.3:12I'd love you to expand a bit more on that in relation to reproductive outcomes.Dr. Matt LucyIt is important to understand the difference between stress and strain. Are dairy cows stressed? Yes, they are. But it's really the strain that matters. The strain is how that cow responds to that stress. So let me expand upon what that means. If we think about different stressors, a stress is applied to all cows. For example, we have a lot of cows in our herd that make 100 pounds of milk per day. That is the stress. The stress is the production. However, the strain is how she responds to that. And we want our cows to have very little strain.4:52There are some in-depth biology and physiology going on behind this, right?Dr. Matt LucyWhen we talk about the production of milk, there is just tremendous metabolic shift that occurs in response to it. It just comes down to how cows respond. There is a debate right now among nutritionists involving questions like: Do postpartum BHB really matter? Is it important? Do we need to measure it? Do we need to be concerned? BHB can be a toxic molecule for cows, obviously. We are trying to understand how cows respond to these metabolic changes and figuring out which cows are going to stay healthy in the face of a similar sort of challenge.6:55What do you think producers and nutritionists can do to manage those stressors?Dr. Matt LucyI will start with genetics. We want cows that can handle these stresses. That has been a big change mentally because for many years, we only selected cows for milk production. Now we have probably too many traits. You want the best possible cows on your farm. And genetics really make a difference. But, I would also remind people that the genomics revolution that we're in now is a very young revolution, so we need to keep our eyes on the ball and make sure we got the cows going in the right direction genetically.Once we have the right kind of cows, then, as a producer, you have to manage the remaining strain. You cannot fix everything with genetics, you have to be a top producer and manage the remaining strains like heatstroke, nutrition, bunk space and so forth. Third thing I would say is when we talk about reproduction, people often try to manage itn during the breeding period. But, reproduction doesn't start during the breeding period. Reproduction starts in the transition cow pens. The reason that transition cow pen is so important is because if they get a reproductive disease, or if they get sick, there is always going to be a long-term drag on that cow. 14:49One topic I wanted to address is glucose. Could you take a couple of minutes just to highlight how that affects the reproductive fitness of a cow?Dr. Matt LucyGlucose is a really tough molecule for ruminants, because they take on all these nutrients, and they metabolize them. They break them down into smaller molecules. Then they have to resynthesize that glucose in the liver. And of course, that glucose is made for its use for lactose synthesis. Glucose is the master regulator of all the metabolism of a cow.21:50If we could just summarize, what would be the take-home points to veterinarians, nutritionists and dairy producers around the world when it comes to stressors and strain?Dr. Matt LucyI would say, number one, is getting your genetics right. There is no substitute for good cows.But you also need good management and there's no magic, there's no easy way out of good management.The transition cow pen has to be right.And the other thing I failed to mention; the parlors got to be right. The fact that if a cow gets mastitis, from three weeks before to three weeks after breeding, she has lower fertility.

Guests:Dr. Mike Hutjens, University of IllinoisScott Brenner, Hunter Haven FarmsThe Real Science Exchange is back this week and we are joined by Dr. Mike Hutjens from the University of Illinois and Scott Brenner with Hunter Haven Farms in Pearl City, Illinois. The evening discussion centers around Maximizing Dairy Return on Investment (ROI).Real Science listeners might recognize Dr. Hutjens from his lecture with the Real Science Lecture Series in July 2020. Here is a link to his presentation: https://tinyurl.com/y4axw967.Dr. Hutjens’ research and broad experience paired with the practical day-to-day experience from Scott paint a great picture of the reality of the ROI for today’s dairies.Dr. Hutjens looks back on 2020 to highlight key areas where the industry pivoted to match the changing demand from COVID effects. 5:58Scott talks about his focus on his feed input costs and understanding the value they will see from locking in lower-cost soybean meal. 8:03Also, in the area of feed costs, Scott discusses the importance of figuring the value and costs of your individual ingredients—amino acids, for example. 17:37Dr. Hutjens reminds us of the need to keep an eye on global supply and demand for the corn and soybean markets when you evaluate the potential costs for the feed ingredients. Brazil and Argentina harvests play into the cost for the Illinois dairy. 20:45On the output front, Dr. Hutjens discusses the need to understand maintaining optimal peak milking to garner the most you can from each cow and gallon of milk. 35:32Automation continues to be on the mind of dairies as they balance hurdles with the workforce and the cow care needed to continue to increase outputs. Scott discusses what automation looks like on his farm while Dr. Hutjens discusses industry-wide trends. 45:50If you have questions about how to maximize your dairy ROI or suggestions for future sessions, feel free to email anh.marketing@balchem.com.

For a lot of business owners, the pandemic has cost them their livelihood. For example, Yelp! recently shared that 55% of the businesses using their platform which closed down due to the pandemic aren't coming back. What's a business team to do when you're looking at those kinds of numbers? How can you avoid having to close down?The answer, I believe, is all about being able to make a pivot. And this is something we've been discussing in great detail on the show.Unfortunately, for some business teams, pivoting might not be too obvious. Sure, curb service and delivery for some restaurants makes sense, but what if your restaurant wasn't so much a restaurant, but a bar? What if you're reliant on a market that's not doing so great right now such as realty?Today's guest, Dirk van Reenen, excels at helping teams focus on the foundations of business and how they scale their businesses in ways that they might not have noticed before. In fact, with the future looking like things will be changing faster and faster, it's important that all businesses know how to quickly pivot.So what does that look like? Well, the first thing is all about building the right team - and that's where today's conversation takes us.Listen in as Andy and I learn more about Dirk's business BERGflow and how it might benefit those of us going through or preparing to go through a hard time.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: What's the path that Dirk followed to eventually starting BERGFlow? 9:45Where did the name BERGFlow come from? 15:20What are some things people need to consider when building a team as a solopreneur? 20:24What challenges does remote work give to a group who's forming into an effective team? 26:50If a leader finds themselves in a situation where there's trust issue in the team, how can they get back some of the control in their group? 32:02According to Dirk, what's the importance of a business team building something worthwhile? 38:54What kind of things is Dirk looking forward to as we move into a different world post-pandemic? 45:40What's the best advice he's ever received? 51:40Which three books does he gift or tell others about? 52:11What's the smallest decision he's made that has had the largest impact in his life? 54:22What's one thing all high school students must know? 59:01What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 1:01:41 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Dirk Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Andy DixPowered By: KennectedDocumentary - Happy - (Flow in BERGfow comes from this documentary)Rocketfuel - Visionary / Operator (or Integrator) relationshipDavid Osborn- Dirk's Mentore-myth revisitedChris Tuff AoL InterviewThink and Grow RichThe Fish that Ate the WhaleThe Road Less Stupid - Keith CunninghamLoving What Is - Byron Katie Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

This podcast was recorded before the passing of Aretha Franklin, so Dapper J and Bobby G didn't get to pay the proper respects to her and her family. May she rest in peace.1000 Jumpers finally go back to normal after dropping special episodes throughout the month. They first talk sports covering topics such as the Hall of Fame inductions, Jalen Ramsey GQ interview, Derrius Guice injury and Cam vs Kelvin. They switch over to Tiger's return and close it out by touching on Carmelo finally being signed by Houston Rockets.The duo definitely dove in head first during the music portion of the podcast. From giving their opinions on Lauryn plagerizing her music, Teyana Taylor vs Jeremih and Nicki Minaj, they spent minutes on them. From that they give reviews of Travis Scott's Astroworld, YG's Stay Dangerous and Mac Miller's Swimming.They finish the music conversation by talking the state of Dreamville along with H.E.R. vs Ella Mai (two of the next superstars in R&B).When it comes to the What's Trending portion of the podcast, the duo discusses Kanye's song XTCY along with his interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the return of Insecure, Omarosa dropping bombs and "I Still Beat."So with all this information to cover, stop reading, press play and enjoy.Dapper J playlist on TIDAL: https://tidal.;com/playlist/844aaf82-0b3a-4c89-afe0-d075cfecbe8e; https://tidal.com/playlist/d3691fd4-b446-4d78-afe6-561d896b7fc2shopformajor.com for 1000 Jumpers merchhttp://bit.ly/1000JumpersBucketHats for custom bucket hatsRecorded on August 15, 2018Order of conversationTheme MusicIn My Lane Now (Black Light Knight Version) by Piph (@DatBoyPiph) https://soundcloud.com/datboypiph/in-my-lane-now-black-light-knight-version1000 Jumpers theme performed by KP Marino (@kpmarinoo)Posting significant others on social media 2:50If you could A&R one project for any person who would it be? 8:50SportsHall of Fame inductions 19:27Jalen Ramsey interview with GQ [https://www.gq.com/story/jalen-ramsey-trash-talk-nfl-interview] 29:47Hard Knocks 37:15Derrius Guice injury 40:00Cam Newton vs Kelvin [https://twitter.com/MWalshMedia/status/1027678996190953479] 44:18The Return of Tiger 53:20MusicLauryn Hill vs Robert Glasper (watch this interview starting at 27:00 for context https://youtu.be/R12s7OTzJlM) 58:35Teyana vs Jeremih 1:04:36Nicki Minaj album "Queen" / her media tour 1:06:00Travis Scott Astroworld | https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/astroworld/1421241217 1:22:36YG https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stay-dangerous/1418058054 1:33:35Mac Miller Swimming | https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/swimming/1408996052 1:36:39H.E.R. & Ella Mai 1:42:24Pop Culture / TwitterKanye Song (XTCY) / interview [https://youtu.be/PmZjaYdS3fA] 1:56:31Omarosa 2:00:28excuse the sid luckman reference, Dap meant Wally Pip 2:04:49"I Still Beat' 2:07:35Shoutouts and OutroRIP Aretha FranklinShoutout my boy Mike (@MikeDSykes) for popping up on CBS and being a dope journalist https://www.cbsnews.com/video/how-race-and-economics-fuel-chicago-killings/ 2:16:48In My Lane by Piph (@DatBoyPiph) https://soundcloud.com/datboypiph/in-my-lane-now-masteredSocial Media / podcast linksTwitter: @1000_jumpers, @DapperJ & @BobbyGeorge413Instagram: @theonlydapperj & @bobbygeorge413iTunes: bit.ly/DBG1KGoogle Play: bit.ly/1000JGPiHeartRadio: bit.ly/1JiHeartRadioStitcher: bit.ly/1JStitcherSpotify: bit.ly/1JSpotifySoundcloud: bit.ly/1kjumpersssYouTube: bit.ly/1000JumpersYouTube See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
