What happens when your life changes in an instant, and you have to rebuild it from the ground up?In this week's Let People Prosper Show, I talk with Rachel Barkley, a policy advocate, wife, mother, and one of the most resilient individuals I know. After a rare spinal cord tumor left her paralyzed just weeks after giving birth to her first child, Rachel began a long and painful road of recovery—one marked by faith, perseverance, and incremental miracles.But her story isn't just one of personal triumph. Rachel now leads state and national efforts to reform the safety net for individuals with disabilities and those facing hardship. She's championing policies like the One Door Policy to streamline services, shift the conversation from “able-bodied” to work-capable, and ensure the system supports human dignity and independence.

Follow Biz on IG:https://www.instagram.com/jacobbizmorrisTimestamp:1:03 Building a Team vs. Handling it AllBiz emphasizes the benefits of artists building a team from the outset, highlighting that it reduces stress, allows for shared workload, and enables everyone to grow financially as the artist succeeds. He notes that while some artists can do everything themselves, it often leads to burnout.2:36 Artist Mixing Their Own MusicBiz acknowledges that some artists are capable of producing good mixes, especially when they are trying to maintain a specific vibe. However, he believes the majority of artists who mix their own music should stop, as the quality is often not up to par. He attributes this to "demo-it is," where artists become too accustomed to the sound of their self-mixed demos.3:58 Impact of Mix Quality on StreamsBiz explains that a bad mix can lead to a high skip rate on streaming platforms, meaning artists don't get paid if listeners don't make it past 30 seconds. He also points out that poor mix quality can hinder a song from being placed on playlists or accepted by influencers, as it can reflect poorly on their brand.6:26 Defining a Good MixA good mix, according to Biz, translates well across all devices (car, AirPods, Bluetooth speakers) and has no distractions, allowing the listener to fully grasp the artist's vision and emotion. A bad mix often has buried or muddy vocals, excessive reverb, or poor-sounding drums.9:20 Biz's Background and Favorite GenresBiz shares his journey, starting as a recording engineer at 14 and falling in love with mixing after moving to Atlanta in 2012. He has worked with artists like Lrae, David Kushner, and Surfaces. While a majority of his credits are in hip-hop, he enjoys mixing pop music more due to the challenge of achieving a clean, pristine sound.13:09 AI in Mixing and MasteringBiz sees AI mastering as useful for creating better-sounding demos, especially for producers and songwriters pitching songs. However, he believes AI mixing is not yet good. He recounts his past experience with an automated mixing service ("Mixed") which, while successful for some tracks, was ultimately shut down because artists preferred human engineers. He emphasizes that people seek human artists for their unique point of view and taste.allowing artists to submit notes through a dashboard.21:29 Spatial Audio Biz is a fan of Atmos, believing it makes records sound better. He highlights that Apple Music pays 10% higher royalties for songs provided in spatial audio, even if the Atmos version isn't played. He built his studio to support Atmos mixing to help independent artists "play the game" and compete with major labels that have more resources.• 27:50 Responsible AI Training and OwnershipBiz raises questions about how AI song creators acquire their data models, suggesting they might be scraping from DSPs like Spotify and YouTube. He discusses the challenge of creating an AI mixing model due to the need for vast amounts of diverse genre data, which major labels primarily own. He expresses concern that labels might create AI mixing platforms that save them money without necessarily benefiting the artist.38:48 "Too Cheap to be Good" PerceptionBiz addresses the perception that "Get Mixed" is too cheap to offer good quality. He assures that the quality, gear, setup, and studio are the same as his high-end services, but the lower price is due to the streamlined system and convenience. He also acknowledges that some artists find the price too high, leading him to offer discounts.This channel is ran by the founders of No Labels Necessary, Sean "Brandman" Taylor and Jacorey "Kohrey" Barkley.

Barkley College Remedial Human Sexuality Course: Part 3After Lab One, the students exchange places for Lab Two. Fallatio & Cunnilingus.By zachattack163 and adapted for this platform. Listen to the Podcast At Explicit Novels.Lab One was done, and 6 students reclined in their chairs, in the bliss of post-orgasm. The professors, Phoebe & Antonio Garza, were admiring the success of their well-prepared lesson plan. But they need things to move along and keep the class on schedule. The professors marked some charts as the students participated in Lab One. They were graded on how well they followed both the instruction and the demonstration that the professors provided.Lab TwoThe 12 students were in the same pairs, for this 2nd lab, as they were for the 1st. The partners were as follows:· Erika & Jackson.· Rebecca & Devon.· Alexis & Thomas.· Bethany & William.· Michelle & Bruce.· Elizabeth & Malcolm.Bruce led the way as he got up excitedly, and helped Michelle to her feet before getting her to sit back down on the chair and spread her legs. Michelle was already incredibly wet in anticipation, and she was also very turned on from having just swallowed Bruce's cum, her first-ever. Bruce immediately dove between her legs and began to lick her sweet pussy. As he pushed his finger inside Michelle, Bruce was a little surprised to find how tight Michelle was inside. ‘Wow! She feels like she's never had a cock inside of her,' Bruce thought, ‘I really hope I get the chance to stick my cock inside of her at some point because this tight pussy is going to feel so good.' Michelle laid back and enjoyed Bruce's oral attention, knowing that it wasn't going to take long for her to have an orgasm since she was already so aroused.Everyone else in the class began to switch with their partners and soon the classroom was once again filled with the sounds of people moaning in pleasure.Rebecca was working hard to get much of Devon's huge cock in her mouth and was just marveling at how big he was. ‘Wow, I'm definitely going to have to feel this pussy stretcher in me at some point,' thought Rebecca.Devon was just laying back and enjoying the attention Rebecca was paying to his cock. He had never had a girl touch his cock and now one of the best looking girls on campus was sucking him off. He knew he wouldn't last very long and so he looked down to admire Rebecca's big ass before once again focusing on her big green eyes as she serviced his cock.Jackson was so turned on that he knew he was going to finish very quickly, after Erika put his cock in her mouth. Erika wasn't the best at giving a blowjob but Jackson was so pent up he didn't even care, and looking down behind her head to see her nice round ass. He got distracted as he saw her big tits bouncing while she bobbed on his cock. It was too much for Jackson, and he tapped Erika on the shoulder and moaned, "Oh god, yes!" as he began ejaculating in Erika's mouth. Erika, surprised at the quickness of Jackson's orgasm, quickly began trying to swallow his semen.Alexis was working really hard to get Thomas's fat cock in her mouth but she was having trouble getting past the head. Thomas realizing her difficulty grabbed her head so she would look up at him and told her, "That's okay just keep sucking on my head and looking at me. That will be enough to get me off." She looked up at him with her big brown doe eyes and just continued licking the head of his fat cock.Malcolm decided that he wanted to pay attention to Elizabeth's big breasts first. So he started licking one of her nipples while fondling the other tit, while his other hand got busy between Elizabeth's legs, fingering her. Malcolm still couldn't believe that such a short skinny girl could have such big tits but he realized they were definitely real as he was fondling them. Hearing Elizabeth's moaning getting louder he realized that he should start licking her pussy soon before he made her cum just from fingering her, so he got between her widely-parted legs and began licking away.Bethany was enjoying William's efforts as he licked away at her pussy. ‘Wow! William is pretty good at eating pussy. Definitely better than I would have expected.' Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a voice behind her."Here, William; let me help you out a bit," she turned around to see Mr. Garza standing behind her. Mr. Garza then reached around and cupped one of Bethany's huge boobs in each of his hands.He then began fondling Bethany's large tits and said, "Wow Bethany you have such nice breasts and I can tell that they are real, which is very nice to see with breasts this large." Bethany just relaxed and enjoyed the sensation of William licking her pussy while her teacher fondled her huge tits in his strong hands. All the sudden the combined pleasure of what the two men were doing to her was too much, and Bethany felt herself began to experience one of the best orgasms she had ever had, as she moaned loud enough for the entire class to hear.Hearing Bethany's orgasmic moans and feeling Bruce's tongue and middle finger inside of her, was too much for Michelle as she started a very powerful orgasm. Bruce felt Michelle's already tight pussy get even tighter on his finger, as she started orgasming and he continued to lick her rock-hard clit through her orgasm.Rebecca's continued assault on Devon's huge cock was too much and he moaned, "Oh please don't stop." Rebecca gave the big cock a few more bobs before she felt his testicles tense up in her hand, and immediately pulled up so just the head of Devon's cock was in her mouth as he began ejaculating.After all the attention Malcolm had given her, and all the stimulation of sex moans going through the room, Elizabeth could no longer take it. She grabbed Malcolm's head and pushed it between her legs and started cumming like crazy, having her legs shake a bit in the process.Alexis was still working on Thomas's fat cock head and her attentions were getting him very close. He told her, "Oh god, Alexis don't stop, you're doing so well. Oh! I'm so close, keep going Alexis." Following his encouragement Alexis started sucking at his cock head harder while her tongue found the sensitive underside of his glans. She was rewarded with a large load of cum very quickly. She worked at swallowing all of Thomas's semen while he continued to cum in her mouth. Eventually, the excess ran down her chin. As his explosions subsided, she gave the underside of his tip one last tickle. Thomas pleaded; “Stop!”Alexis slid back off his tip, causing an audible smacking sound. Then she looked into his eyes with a sultry smile; while slowly scooping his excess spunk from her chin with her finger. Unaware that the entire classroom was watching her, she slowly lifted her frosted finger to her tongue and licked all the icing off, then inserted her wet finger deep into her mouth and rolled her tongue around it. Then she winked at him.Silence continued in the room, until the professor spoke."All right, now that everyone has reached a satisfying orgasm, you are free to leave," Mr. Garza told the class."Now remember if at any point you want to practice what you have learned you are free to practice with one of your classmates," Mrs. Garza reminded the students as they started getting dressed and getting all of their stuff together. “No one is required to do anything outside these structured labs. And please; do not discuss anything from these labs with anyone, even each other. What happens here, stays here. You all want your privacy respected.” When the students were dressed, Mr. Garza pressed the button by the chalkboard, and remotely unlocked the classroom doors.Session Two DismissedAs the students left the classroom, several of them pulled out phones and asked for their lab partner's numbers.Professor Phoebe felt her Antonio come up behind her, and press his once again rock hard cock, against her round ass. He then reached up to cup one of her large tits in each of his strong hands."So what did you think about that lesson?" he asked Phoebe, as he fondled her breasts while rubbing his hard cock against the crack of her large ass. "It certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself when you were sucking on Malcolm's huge cock head. I might have to punish you for that later," he added as he whispered in her ear."As I recall, you enjoy the fact that I enjoy having a cock in my mouth," she responded, as she grounded her ass harder into his cock. "Besides it's not like you weren't enjoying yourself when you were holding on to Bethany's huge tits while William was licking her pussy.""Well I was just following your example," he said to his wife. "Now why don't you go over to the table and bend over so you can receive your punishment.""Yes sir," Phoebe responded to her husband's discipline fantasy, as she moved to bend over the teacher's table while shaking her shapely rear end enticingly. Antonio then walked over to his wife. He admired her firm round ass while rubbing one hand up and down her cheek enjoying the smoothness of her skin. He then brought his hand back to give her a firm but pleasurable smack on her ass. Phoebe yelped slightly as she enjoyed the 'punishment'. Antonio gave his wife's fantastic ass a couple more spanks before bringing his large cock up and smacking his cock against his wife's ass."Oh babe enough teasing I really need it now," Phoebe moaned to her husband, her pussy was practically dripping after the display in the classroom and the teasing spanks from her husband. With very little warning, Antonio quickly shoved his large cock into her pussy."Oh yeah babe give me that big fuck pole!" Phoebe yelled. Antonio had his head back enjoying the fantastic sensations of his wife's tight pussy grabbing his thick cock. He then looked back down to see her nice round ass bounce each time he thrust his cock deep inside of her."Wow baby you just have such a nice ass, I love this view," he said."Here let me show you how you can enjoy the view even more," she said back to her husband as she placed her hand on his hip so he would stop thrusting for a moment. Antonio stopped his thrusting, just leaving a bit of his cock still in his wife and watched as she proceeded to back her ass up on his cock before getting into a rhythm so that she was bouncing her round ass on her well-hung man."Oh yeah babe how's that view? Are you working up a big load for me?" she asked."Oh yeah baby I'm definitely working up a huge load for you in these big balls of mine," he responded."Oh babe, give it to me I want to feel you shoot your nut up inside of me. Come on give me your nut," Phoebe begged. All the pleasure and encouragement was too much for Antonio and he pushed his large cock as far as it would go into his buxom lover, while reaching up to grab her swinging tits in his hands. He then unloaded his pent up cum into her with extreme force."Oh yeah babe, I can feel you shooting it all inside me. I'm going to cum too!" Phoebe wailed as she started having and orgasm. She could feel her pussy grabbing Antonio's ejaculating penis as she had one of the best orgasms of her life. Phoebe couldn't believe how much cum he was shooting into her, Wow he must have really enjoyed the students' display if he's cumming this hard, she thought to herself. Eventually, Phoebe's orgasm wained, and Antonio pulled out his exhausted cock from his sex-goddess wife.Phoebe then turned to look at her man and said, "Wow babe, I thought you shot a lot of cum into my mouth earlier, but that was a huge load. I can still feel it deep in my pussy.""Yeah, I don't know what happened, but it felt so good to shoot that much cum in you. I guess seeing all those students performing oral sex was more stimulation than I realized. I can't wait for these sessions to continue. I especially can't wait until we get to the end of the class and we get an opportunity to fuck the students," he said."Yeah I know what you mean. After seeing all of those girls sucking the boys' cocks I can't wait to try having those young cocks inside me," she said."Well now, time to prepare for the next lesson."Session ThreeDevon greeted his classmates in the hall of the building, He was surprised at being the last student to arrive. His nerd reputation might just took a direct hit. But he was happy to be greeted so warmly by all of them. And especially when Rebecca, his lab partner from last session, winked at him.All of the students were waiting outside the classroom door when the lock buzzed and opened for them.As they filed in and walked down the many steps toward the front, Mr. Garza counted all 12 students, then pressed the button again and the locks clicked. Then the classmates began stripping off their clothes in excited anticipation of what today's sex lesson would hold. Once all the students were completely naked and situated on the sofas, Mr. and Mrs. Garza stood to greet their students completely nude."I want to commend the entire class on both your presentation and deportment in the last session.” Mrs. Garza said. “You all seem to keep very good personal hygiene. That's essential. And you all demonstrated kindness, patience, and encouragement to one another. We can't say enough just how essential that is to positive and pleasurable human sexuality.”“We hope that continues,” Mr. Garza added; “and you all spare us the uncomfortable duty of speaking to you personally about either your hygiene, or your unconstructive interactions with others in the class.”“Now class I'm sure some of you are already anticipating this, but, today we will be talking about sexual intercourse, or what is commonly referred to simply as sex," Mrs. Garza said to the class."I'm sure most of you know this but, sexual intercourse is when the man puts his penis inside the woman's vagina," Mr. Garza said to the class as his own penis had reached full erection from seeing his attractive young female students naked."I'm sure most of you know, sexual intercourse is how a man gets a woman pregnant, but I know all the young ladies in this class are taking their birth control so we won't have to worry about that," Mrs. Garza commented to the class, "and let me tell you young ladies it a very good thing that you are on birth control because feeling a man's penis ejaculating inside of you is an amazing experience.""Another thing to note about sexual intercourse is there are a number of different positions you can have sex in," said Mr. Garza."We believe that it would be too difficult for just the two of us to show you all the different sexual positions. So after the fantastic results of last class period, we decided that we will pair all of you up so that you can show your classmates all the different positions," Mrs. Garza told the class. This caused quite a bit of excitement amongst the students, as they were surprised and intrigued that they would get to have sex with their classmates so quickly.Mr. Garza addressed the class, "so what we will do now is pair each of you with a new partner. Once we pair you with your partner we want the two of you to get together and start arousing each other. Once all of you are properly aroused for sex then we will let you know what position you and your partner are going to demonstrate for the class."Lab Three"Now let's figure out what these partnerships are going to be," Mrs. Garza said excitedly. "Now, let's have;· Rebecca & Bruce.· Bethany & Devon.· Erika & Malcolm.· Alexis & Jackson.· Michelle & William.· Elizabeth & Thomas.Well these all seem like good partnerships. Now get together with your assigned partner, and remember what we learned from our previous lessons, and use those techniques to arouse your partner, sexually. Alright, chop chop; go get together and find a place to sit with your partner." All the students got up from their sofas and proceeded to meet up with the student they had been partnered with. For most of them, their bashfulness came back, and this was a reality check. They were expected to immediately be affectionate and spontaneous, without the direct coaching of the professors, to blame it on.Mr. and Mrs. Garza started to walk around the classroom to observe how their students were preparing for the next part of the lesson. Eventually, the 6 pairs found ways to get past all inhibitions, and the foreplay was well underway.Jackson was gently sucking on one of Alexis's pert nipples, while one of his hands was busy between her legs fingering her. Alexis, for her part, had her hand wrapped around Jackson's erect cock, and was slightly stroking it, but seemed more occupied with what Jackson was doing to her.Bethany and Devon were intensely making out, while Devon had one of his hands fondling Bethany's huge breast, Bethany was busy using two hands to stroke Devon's long, fat cock.Michelle had already taken William's cock in her mouth, and was giving him a relaxed blowjob, while also having one of her hands in between her own legs, rubbing her clit, to make sure she was prepared for her first cock.Thomas seemed to have a similar idea to Michelle, as he was in between Elizabeth's legs licking away at her pussy while the short, stacked student gently fondled her 34D breasts. Thomas also had one hand wrapped around his thick cock, to make sure it stayed hard for Elizabeth.By far, one of the most interesting ways the students were practicing foreplay was Rebecca and Bruce. Rebecca had positioned her backside so that she was grinding her large, fat ass into Bruce's cock while he had one hand reaching around grabbing one of Rebecca's firm 34B breast while his other hand was reached around, busy between her legs fingering her very wet pussy.Finally they observed the last couple, as Erika had Malcolm's very fat cock head in her mouth, and seemed to be sucking on it, quite successfully. Not to be outdone though, Malcolm had one hand busy between Erika's legs, as he eagerly fingered her, while using the other hand to hold onto, and gently massage one of Erika's large, heavy tits.As they watched their students please and arouse each other, Mrs. Garza reached out to grab hold of her husband's cock, to find it as hard as she could ever remember feeling it. She gave her husband's hard 9-inch shaft, several short strokes before she addressed the class again."Alright, now that everyone seems properly aroused, I think it's time to proceed to the next part of the lesson." Her ‘professor' voice seemed to bring the students out of a sexually induced stupor, and they all turned to pay attention to their buxom teacher."Now the first position we are going to demonstrate is called the missionary position. This is one of the most common positions in the world, and is very popular. Now for this position the woman lies on her back with her legs spread, while the man gets in position on top of her, so they are face-to-face. Once the man is in position between the woman's legs he slides his penis inside of her. In this position he is free to kiss the woman on her lips, or if he so desires he can pay attention to and kiss her breasts; or sometimes just to look into her eyes.”The six paired-off couples continued to fondle each other while the lecture continued; “Now since the woman is underneath the man, she doesn't have the ability to move as much, but she can still kiss and make out with the man. Also, something that both partners find enjoyable in this position is when the woman wraps her legs around the man and brings his hips closer to her. This helps to pull the man's penis deeper inside the woman, and lets the man know how much she is enjoying him," Mrs. Garza told the class."Now let's see who should our first couple be? I think that we will have William and Michelle start us off with our demonstrations."

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!When it comes to NFL offseason strategy, front office decisions often make more headlines than on-field performance. The Jets' recent signings of Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson to four-year extensions represent a seismic shift for a franchise that historically lets talent walk. While Gardner's playing style differs dramatically from shutdown corners of the past—playing 7-8 yards off receivers rather than press coverage—the financial commitment signals a new era under Aaron Glenn's leadership.Meanwhile, the Giants' mishandling of Saquon Barkley's departure epitomizes organizational dysfunction. The casual phone call from a general manager with "feet up on the desk" instead of a face-to-face meeting shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to treat generational talent. Now watching Barkley flourish with the rival Eagles, Giants fans face another rebuilding phase with draft pick Abdul Carter offering a glimmer of defensive hope.Jerry Jones emerges as a cautionary tale of ego-driven ownership. Despite Dallas's consistent talent acquisition, Jones habitually undervalues his stars until it's too late, creating a revolving door that prevents championship contention. This stands in stark contrast to well-managed franchises like Philadelphia and San Francisco, where organizational alignment creates sustainable success.The conversation shifts to the controversial quarterback rankings that inexplicably place Super Bowl quarterback Jalen Hurts ninth behind less accomplished signal-callers. This disconnect between on-field achievement and perceived value highlights the subjective nature of talent evaluation in today's NFL.After analyzing betting odds for division winners, we conclude that despite the statistical rarity of Super Bowl rematches, the Chiefs and Eagles remain the class of their respective conferences, with teams like the Ravens, Bills, Commanders, and Lions positioned as credible challengers.What football storylines are you most interested in as training camps approach?

Barkley College Remedial Human Sexuality Course: Part 2Remedial Students watch the two professors demonstrate fellatio & cunnilingus, then reenact the lessons in the labs.By zachattack163 and adapted for this platform. Listen to the Podcast At Explicit Novels.Professor Antonio Garza couldn't take any more of Phoebe's long dissertation, and blurted out; "Oh baby you've got me so turned on now I really need your mouth on my dick," He was practically moaning to his wife. Just as her husband had requested, Doctor Phoebe Garza leaned down and began licking his penis, just as she had described to the remedial human sexuality class.It was only the second day of this summer remedial class for students who failed their Human Sexuality one oh one requirement. The students were simply naked spectators, so far. But as they were all becoming more comfortable with their own nudity in this class of 12 students, they had no idea just how much they provided visual pleasure and encouragement to each other.Very few of the students knew each other, even cordially. It was a ‘Breakfast Club' of sorts; if you were familiar with the famous brat-pack movie from the 80s.After licking the male professor's penis for a while, the female professor then moved and proceeded to put the head of his penis in her mouth. Mr. Garza began moaning as his wife pleasured the head of his large cock. After a while of pleasuring his head she grabbed his penis with one hand and began stroking it while she bobbed her head up and down on his shaft.At one point she removed her hand and pushed her mouth all the way down to the base of his penis. Mr. Garza groaned as he felt his long cock enter his wife's throat. She held his dick there for a bit before coming back up for air and began stroking her husband's manhood. Several of the girls were amazed that Mrs. Garza could deepthroat her husband's penis because he was very long and thick. The guys were all moaning in vicarious delight.Devon watched with anticipation as he stroked his large 10-inch dick. He had always thought that since he was so large, no woman would be able to deepthroat him; but watching Mrs. Garza swallow her husband's penis had given him hope. In fact, he was really hoping that maybe at some point Mrs. Garza would give him a blowjob and deepthroat him. Mrs. Garza continued to pleasure her husband.All the sudden he moaned, "I'm close baby." Mrs. Garza pulled back until only the head of her husband's penis was in her mouth. She continued stroking his shaft with one hand while she fondled his testicles with the other hand. After a few moments Mr. Garza groaned as he came in his wife's mouth. Mrs. Garza continued stroking her husband's penis while he enjoyed his orgasm. After a moment you could hear Mrs. Garza suck very hard on her husband's penis and he groaned one last time. Mrs. Garza pulled her mouth off of her husband's cock and the class could see her bloated cheeks & watch her throat movement as she swallowed his cum."Now, that is how, you give a man a blowjob," she told the class."Does anyone have any questions?" she asked."What does a man's semen taste like?" asked Erika as she fondled one of her large breasts."Well that usually depends on each man and what his diet is. Now listen young men; one way to make your semen taste sweeter, which let's face it, most girls love sweet things, is to eat citrus fruit, especially pineapples. I would encourage all of you to eat more citrus, especially if you know you are going out with a girl and think you might be getting a blowjob," answered Mrs. Garza.Demonstration Two"Well, if that's all of the questions, then I think that it is time to move on to the next part of the lesson," said Mr. Garza as he stood up, still recovering from his orgasm. "Baby why don't you go lay down across that table and get ready for me." Mrs. Garza grabbed a throw pillow from a sofa & went to lie down on the table. When she lay down she brought one hand up to one of her large breasts and her other hand between her legs to slowly stroke her vagina."Now class, just like my wife did before; I'm going to describe what I'm going to do to my wife, before the demonstration, since my tongue will be otherwise occupied during the demonstration," he said as he smiled seductively to the class, making several of the female students blush."Well first of all, I like to start by kissing my partner and similar to pleasuring a woman with your hands, I make my way down her body kissing her along the way. I start by kissing her neck making my way down and then along her collarbone. Most women really enjoy this especially if it's done in a slightly teasing way. After I've done that for a bit I move down to kiss the woman's breasts, making sure that I pay attention to her nipples and that I make them really hard.” Now the guys were sitting up, elbows on knees, as they watched the buxom Mrs. Garza finger herself.“I try to play with the woman's breasts for a while until her pussy is really wet and she is begging for me to lick her.” Mr. Garza continued his lecture.“I then kiss down her stomach until I reach her pussy. Just to arouse the woman a little more, I like to kiss both of her inner thighs before I make my way to her pussy. I start by just licking her pussy lips. I do this for a while making sure the woman is very wet; and then I start flicking my tongue in and out of her pussy. If your partner wants you to, then you can also finger her while you lick her pussy. Now an important thing for you young men to remember is that the most sensitive part of a woman's vagina is her clitoris. Now you don't want to just randomly start by licking the woman's clit. What I like to do is to just occasionally flick it with my tongue while I'm licking her pussy; and as she gets closer to orgasm, I start licking it more and more until she tells me she's about to cum and then I start just flicking her clit with my tongue.”Mr. Garza's voice had gradually changed from professorial tone, to hot sexy voice, as his bawdy topic became more explicit. He then said; “This drives most women crazy and is sure to help you bring the woman you are with to a satisfying orgasm. Make sure you keeping licking the woman through her orgasm. Most women will eventually pull your head away when they start to get too sensitive." The female students were all leaning back on the sofas and fingering their clits as they heard Mr. Garza's narrative."Babe quit talking and come over here," his wife said as she absent-mindedly stroked her pussy. Mr. Garza walked over to his wife and began kissing her very passionately while reaching one hand down to cup one of her large breasts.After passionately kissing his wife for a bit Mr. Garza suggested to the class; “If you need to see the demonstration better, feel free to stand up and perhaps move to a better place to observe; but leave us plenty of space.”Then he moved to the far side of the table and began kissing his way down his wife's neck. He began to kiss his wife's large breasts before making his way to her very hard nipples. As he began to kiss and suck on his wife's nipples, Mrs. Garza started moaning from her husband's attentions. After sucking on his wife's nipples for a bit Mr. Garza kissed his way down his wife's stomach causing her to shiver a bit from her stomach being slightly ticklish. He then kissed right above his wife's vagina before he picked up one of his wife's legs, which were hanging over the end of the table. He extended it up by the calf and started kissing his wife's inner thigh, making his way towards her vagina; before passing over her vagina to kiss up her other thigh.He continued to kiss and caress around his wife's vagina until Mrs. Garza finally said, "Oh, babe stop teasing me. I need your tongue in me now." Mr. Garza grinned as he obliged his wife's request by just barely licking her slit, which elicited a pretty loud moan from his wife. He then brought one hand up to slide a finger in her pussy to spread her moisture around. Mr. Garza then continued to lick and tongue his wife's pussy as Mrs. Garza began to moan even louder.The students were now all standing in a big half-circle, around the other end of the table from where Mr. Garza was leaned over between his wife's legs."Yeah babe, keep licking my pussy. You're doing such a good job," Mrs. Garza moaned encouraging her husband. She continued moaning very loudly as her husband pleasured her with his tongue. Mrs. Garza had one hand holding one of her large tits while the other hand held on to her husband's head, forcing him further between her legs. She arched her neck and saw the assembled group of eager students. It made her even hornier, knowing she had an audience vicariously sharing her enjoyment.Eventually her moaning increased even more and she said, "Oh babe, don't stop, I'm so close. I'm about to cum." Mr. Garza then began to relentlessly lick his wife's clit, as her moans became cries, as she had a very powerful orgasm. She twisted and pulled both knees upward and her husband tightly held his hands under her ass, holding his tongue lodged tightly to her clit.The students observed her head arch back as she stared at the ceiling, then her eyes rolled even higher in their sockets, as she jerked and trembled. Eventually she couldn't take it anymore and reached down to push her husband's head away from her pussy. He resisted, and she pressed her heels against his shoulders, to overpower his efforts to send her orgasm higher than she could tolerate.Mr. Garza then got up to grab paper towels to wipe off his face while Mrs. Garza laid back, breathing deeply as she recovered from her orgasm. The students had slowly returned to the sofas, pondering the intensity of what they just saw, up close.Mr. Garza gently placed some tissues in Mrs. Garza's hand, while he was wiping up the puddle between her legs.Lab OneThen Professor Antonio Garza turned back around to the class and said, "Okay, now here is the bonus part of the lesson. You will now demonstrate what you just learned on some of your classmates." Most of the students looked around the class nervously while some of the guys seemed very excited at the prospect of receiving oral sex from their classmates. Mrs. Garza then got up on shaky legs, having mostly recovered from her orgasm. Mr. Garza was busy spreading a dozen classroom chairs, spaciously in an arced row, across the floor, facing the sofas.She then stepped forward, turned to the class, and said; "now to start, I want William, Erika, Bruce, Rebecca, Malcolm, and Alexis to line up and sit down in these chairs." All the students who had been recognized got up from their sofas and then sat down in this arced row, facing the other half of the classmates, who were still seated on the sofas. Mr. Garza then contemplated the students who were still sitting at their sofas."Alright, Bethany; I want you to come kneel in front of William. Jackson I want you to come kneel in front of Erika. Michelle, you will be giving Bruce a blowjob and Devon, I want you to come lick Rebecca. Elizabeth, I want you with Malcolm and finally Thomas you are going to pleasure Alexis." Mr. Garza then watched as the other students went to kneel in front of their assigned classmate.Bethany got up quickly and enjoyed having William stare at her large 32F breasts as she went over to him. She contemplated his impressive 7-½ inch penis, which also had a very nice pronounced cock head. ‘Wow, he's got a nice cock, it's long and pretty thick as well I'm definitely going to enjoy this,' she thought to herself as she approached William.Jackson then got up, his long 9-inch penis proudly standing at attention after watching his teacher's display and checking out Erika's large 36D breasts. ‘Man, Erika is hotter than I realized,' he thought to himself, ‘I hope I also get a chance to grab that big ass of hers that I noticed earlier, but those tits are also really nice.'Michelle then got up proudly displaying her body as she approached Bruce while accessing his long 8-inch cock. ‘Well, that's a pretty nice cock you've got there Bruce,' she thought to herself, ‘It's pretty long but good thing it's not very thick because I want to try and swallow that cock.' As she got closer to Bruce, to make sure to entice him more by reaching up and grabbing both of her full, natural 34C breasts and pulling on her nipples. She was happy to see that this action made Bruce's cock throb a little harder.Devon then stood up still a little nervous about displaying his large, thick 10-inch cock to the classroom, but he quickly began gaining confidence when he realized that all the women in the classroom, including his teacher, were staring at his large cock. ‘Wow I guess they really do like my cock,' he thought to himself. He looked over at Rebecca who was staring very intently at his cock. ‘Rebecca is really hot,' he thought. ‘I mean I always try to sneak a peek at her big ass when she's walking down the hall and I've definitely masturbated while thinking about that ass, but I never thought I would get the chance to lick her pussy. Maybe I can even reach up and grab her ass to pull her pussy closer to my face while I lick her.'Elizabeth then got up, proudly displaying her large 34D breasts, which looked even larger on her petite frame. She was very proud of her curvy body especially her round ass that she had been working on very hard through a regime of squats. As she walked over to Malcolm she checked out his 7-inch cock. ‘Well at least it's not too long of a penis but wow; does Malcolm have a big cock head, I mean his head is a least twice as thick as the rest of his shaft.' She then knelt down in front of Malcolm and licked her lips seductively, which made Malcolm's cock throb in anticipation.Finally, Thomas stood up to walk toward Alexis proudly displaying his 6-inch cock. While he knew that his cock wasn't very long he knew that he more than made up for it with how thick it was, as his cock was probably thicker than any other guy in the classroom. He started to check out Alexis as he approached her. ‘Nice! Alexis is really cute; I can't believe I'm getting the opportunity to eat her out. I've always thought she was really pretty, and now I get the chance to check her out naked and lick her nice pussy.'After all the students paired up with their respective partners Mr. Garza again addressed the class, "Now class for those of you that I determined will kneel in front of your classmates, you will perform oral sex on them until they have an orgasm. You will then switch with your partner, and they will perform oral sex on you until you reach orgasm. Does everyone understand this?"All the students nodded in acceptance. "Alright; well then, you may begin pleasuring your partner," Mr. Garza told the class. The students each started pleasuring their partner and Mr. and Mrs. Garza went over to observe the students as they used the information the teachers had just taught the students.Thomas was gently kissing Alexis's neck while fondling one of her firm 32B breasts paying special attention to her long nipple. Elizabeth was holding on to Malcolm's cock with her hand while also licking up and down his shaft. Devon was already licking one of Rebecca's 34B breasts while fondling her other breast. Michelle already had Bruce's cock head in her mouth while she played with his balls with her hand. Jackson was already in between Erika's legs as he was gently kissing her thighs. Bethany was licking up and down William's cock as he moaned in pleasure.As the teachers were walking by, Bethany decided to take William's cock in her mouth and slid her lips down his shaft, which caused him to moan a little louder. He also heard Erika moan as Jackson began licking her slit and looked over at her. Her head was back and her eyes were closed.William was then transfixed as he watched Erika's large chest heave as she breathed deeply in pleasure. As though she could feel William's eyes on her, she opened her eyes and looked at William. She noticed as he stared intently at her chest."You can touch them if you want," she said to William."What?" he stuttered as he was broken out of his trance of staring at her chest."Here," she said as she reached down to grab one of his hands and brought it up to her nice full right breast. "It feels good when someone is touching my breasts." William couldn't believe what was happening as he cupped one of Erika's large, heavy breasts. Erika then relaxed her head again and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the pleasure of having William fondle her sensitive right tit while Jackson ate out her pussy. ‘Wow this is amazing,' she thought to herself revealing in the pleasure of two different guys paying attention to her body.Bethany looked up at William only to see that he was paying more attention to Erika and her big tits, than the girl giving him a blowjob. Not to be outdone she repositioned herself higher on her knees and grabbed William's other hand and placed it on her even larger breast. William was drawn back to Bethany as she placed his other hand on her very large tit. ‘Wow! I can't believe this; I'm feeling up two of the bustiest girls on campus while one of them sucks my cock. This is the best thing ever,' he thought to himself.Meanwhile, Bruce was seriously enjoying the blowjob that Michelle was giving him. She was bobbing up and down on his cock while occasionally pulling up to swirl her tongue around the head of his cock. After some time going up and down on his cock she steadied herself and then began pushing all of his 8 inch cock into her mouth. Bruce moaned loud enough to get several of his classmates to notice him, as he felt Michelle swallow his cock. ‘Oh my god I can't believe this,' he thought to himself. ‘How was I so lucky that I got the girl who already knows how to deep throat a cock? Man, Michelle is great at giving head. This is awesome!'Rebecca was really enjoying what Devon was doing to her with is tongue. She was also enjoying having his hands on her hips, even though she knew he probably just wanted to be grabbing her big ass. ‘Well he is doing a pretty good job with his tongue, I guess I can give him what he wants plus I enjoy it when a guy grabs onto my big ass,' she thought to herself. She started to slide her hips forward until a lot of her ass was off the seat. She then gently put pressure on Devon's hands forcing them around her hip and giving him permission to grab hold of her round ass. Devon took full advantage of this when he realized what Rebecca wanted. He used both hands to grab hard onto her ass and pulled her pussy closer to his face and began licking her with more intensity. In response, she rested her elbows on the chair and lifted her ass off the surface. ‘Holy crap this is amazing,' Rebecca thought to herself as she felt Devon hold tightly onto her full ass and lick her pussy even harder. ‘Damn, I'm definitely going to have to work hard on sucking his huge cock when it's his turn, cause this is amazing.' She closed her eyes and threw her head back in pleasure as she enjoyed what Devon was doing to her pussy.Malcolm was really enjoying having Elizabeth suck on his cock. She was bobbing her head up and down while also stroking his cock. ‘Man, this feels really good but I wish Elizabeth would spend more time sucking my cock head because it feels really good when she comes up to my head,' Malcolm thought to himself. As if she was reading his mind, Mrs. Garza walked over to Elizabeth and tapped her on the shoulder. Elizabeth pulled her mouth off of Malcolm's cock and looked up at her teacher."Here let me show you something," Mrs. Garza, said to her student. "Now, remember that I said that a man's cock head is the most sensitive part of the penis? And Malcolm here, has a very nice cock head so why don't you pay more attention to the head of his penis like this."Malcolm couldn't believe it as his very hot teacher took his cock into her mouth and began swirling her tongue around his large cock head. Holy shit this is amazing! I can't believe Mrs. Garza is licking my cock. He groaned in pleasure as his teacher licked his cock. Mrs. Garza eventually pulled her mouth off of her student's penis, and looked back at Elizabeth."See how much he enjoyed it when I paid more attention to his cock head?" Elizabeth nodded her understanding. "So why don't you continue what you were doing, except when you reach the top of his penis spend some time swirling your tongue around his cock head and I'm sure you will have him cumming in no time." Mrs. Garza then got up to continue to observe the other students while Elizabeth went back to work on Malcolm's cock. She made sure to put more focus on his cock head and got a moan from Malcolm in response. She smiled to herself and began working on his cock again.Alexis was leaning back enjoying what Thomas was doing to her pussy as she pulled at her long hard nipples. Wow this feels amazing, Alexis thought to herself, ‘This is so much better than when I masturbate. Thomas is really good with his tongue. I can't believe that I'm about to cum already.' Alexis pulled Thomas's head further between her legs as she continued playing with her nipple with the other hand.She felt herself approaching a powerful orgasm but just before she was able to cum, she heard Bruce moan, "Oh here it cums." Alexis looked over to see Michelle pulling up until just the head of Bruce's cock was in her mouth as he began ejaculating in Michelle's mouth. The stimulation of this display was too much for Alexis, and she felt herself having a very intense orgasm as Thomas continued to lick her pussy.Erika, hearing two of her classmates' cumming, was also close to succumbing to her orgasm. Having William fondle one of her heavy tits while Jackson had reached up to grab hold of her other breast while relentlessly continuing to lick her pussy was too much for the young stacked student, who reached a shaking orgasm under all the attention she was receiving.William felt Erika reach her orgasm while he was fondling her breasts. Bethany's oral attention to his cock was getting him very close and he decided that he really wanted to enjoy Bethany. He removed his hand from Erika's breast and reached down to grab hold of both of Bethany's huge breasts, and softly moaned to her, "I'm so close."Upon hearing this, Bethany renewed her efforts to pleasure William's nice cock. She loved the feeling as he groped both of her fantastic tits while she sucked on him. Suddenly she felt William tense up and he began ejaculating thick ropes of cum into her mouth. She continued to try and pleasure William's cock as he came very forcefully in her mouth. Bethany couldn't believe that William could shoot so much cum. She hadn't given many guys blowjobs before but none of them had ever cum this much. ‘I guess that means I'm really good at this,' she thought to herself.Rebecca loved what Devon was doing to her and was also finding it quite arousing to listen to her fellow classmates reach orgasm. Suddenly she felt an intense sense of pleasure as she reached a very powerful orgasm. She shifted her weight on her left elbow while she grabbed Devon's hair in her right hand, and forced his head further between her legs while he grabbed on to her huge ass and held on for dear life. Elizabeth, realizing that all her classmates had already brought their partner to orgasm, renewed her efforts of pleasuring Malcolm's big cock head.Malcolm, overwhelmed with this new assault on his cockhead moaned, "Oh god, don't stop," as he grabbed hold of Elizabeth's long brown hair. Soon he felt his testicles tense up and then began shooting cum into Elizabeth's mouth. Elizabeth continued her oral assault on Malcolm's large cockhead until he was finished cumming, then following her teacher's advice gave Malcolm's big cock head one last hard suck while swirling her tongue around it. Malcolm groaned again as he felt Elizabeth lick his over-stimulated cockhead one last time.As half of the class sat back enjoying their post-orgasmic joy Mr. Garza addressed the class. "Now class, remember that whenever you receive oral sex from a partner you always need to reciprocate this action. So once you are recovered from your orgasm you need to perform oral sex on your partner so that they know you appreciate what they did for you. This completes Lab One. You're going to begin Lab Two.”To be continued.By zachattack163 for Literotica

College Remedial Human Sexuality Course: Part 1Barkley summer semester course for those who flunked Human Sexuality 101.By zachattack163 and adapted for this platform. Listen to the Podcast At Explicit Novels.Alexis walks the short distance from student parking, to the Health Sciences building. It's late in June and the campus is almost a ghost town. She‘s glad of that, because she doesn't want anyone to know she's having to make up a course in order to enroll in fall classes and begin her sophomore year. Why had her fundamentalist mother's repressed sexuality become her damn disability! At least now that she's living with her aunt & uncle, in this college town; she can start learning, and unlearning.But remedial human sexuality? Why the heck is that class so hard to comprehend? Maybe if she was a slut, then she'd at least have some familiarity and practice? The virgin college student wants her secret kept that way.She walks into the designated room. It's a lecture bowl with seating for 200, but less than a dozen are in the room. She sees them scattered down near the front.“Good afternoon students.” The male & female professors greeted the freshmen. The small assortment of students sat in the lecture bowl, mostly fidgeting and looking at the floor. The male professor pressed a button near the chalk board, which remotely locked the doors. Then he began handing out the syllabus as the female professor wrote some names on the board.“My name is Doctor Phoebe Garza, PhD. Our other instructor is Doctor Antonio Garza, my husband of 7 years.”“Let's be honest about why you're here. For whatever reasons, you didn't attain the required human sexuality credit during your first two semesters. In order to enroll for fall classes, you'll need to pass this one.”The pit of the lecture bowl room was reset without the customary classroom tables, lectern, and common furnishings. Instead, the instructional aids included; a chaise lounge, a Leather sofa, rectangular ottoman, and a sturdy oak table and several chairs aligning the wall, below the chalkboard. The middle of the pit also had what looks like a 12 by 12 foot gymnasium tumbling mat.On the front row of the student seating, on the pit floor, the usual desks were replaced by four upholstered sofas in a semi-circle, with large plush bath blankets covering the seat cushions.“To help you, we reviewed your academic records and with the help of guidance counselors, we determined that kinetic learning might be a more effective mode for you.” That is why you were given this opportunity to fulfill your requisite credit with this alternative class. If you don't get your Human Sexuality credit through this class, you can retake the standard one oh one course early next month.In the same way we employ lab sessions for many of our science classes, we're going to add that component to this particular experimental course offering. Many of you probably had learning experiences where the textbook words came to life, only after you put the theories to practice in a science lab.So, the two of us studied some clinical papers from an Amsterdam university, and we collaborated to develop this teaching concept. But instead of using lab animals to study behavioral concepts, All of us will become the lab specimens for this attempt to bring all of you academically, back up to the rest of the upcoming sophomore class.”Mrs. Garza continued; ”It's not often that I get to teach with my husband. He is a research scientist. He rarely teaches a college class to undergrads. But this class is also part of an ongoing research, so we're all going to learn a lot, this summer session."Now class today we are going to begin our Human Sexuality introduction," said Mrs. Garza, the very attractive human sexuality professor.Mr. Garza now addressed the 12 students for the first time, still having a slight accent of his Barcelona upbringing. "Now, before you joined this class, you were required to sign a form, that doesn't allow you to tell anyone what happens, in this class. So, has everyone brought in their signed forms and documents to class, today?" asked Mr. Garza.All the students nodded their heads to show that they had their forms. "Well that's good" said Mrs. Garza, "Now, the reason we asked you to get those forms and documents signed; is because this is to prove that you have passed your eighteenth birthday and because this is going to be a very different kind of human sexuality class, from the kinds of classes you have been in before." The females all had signed notes from their physicians, affirming they are all on birth control pills for at least 6 weeks.Session One"Now we want you all to be very comfortable in the lab. Usually, labs require special protective gear. But for our labs, the opposite is true. And we want you all to become comfortable with your sexuality and we feel that the best way for all of you to do this is with full participation in the class," said Mr. Garza."In order for everyone to fully participate we are going to require everyone in the class to remain naked at all times while you are in this classroom," Mrs. Garza told the students.The class all began to talk at once protesting the fact that they were going to have to be naked in class. "Now calm down class I know all of you may be uncomfortable with being naked in front of your fellow classmates, but believe me this will help you become more comfortable with your sexuality," said Mr. Garza "and to make all of you feel more comfortable Mrs. Garza and I will also be staying naked for the duration of the class also." With that both Mr. and Mrs. Garza began taking off all of their clothes. Once they had finished undressing they stood before the class completely naked and needless to say every eye in the classroom was focused on the two naked teachers in front of them, or at least on certain parts of them. Every male student's eyes were focused on Mrs. Garza' large 36double D breasts, while all of the female students were focused on Mr. Garza's large penis hanging between his legs which was about seven inches long even in its flaccid state. Both of the professors had trimmed their bushes, but were not completely bald."Now as you can see we are perfectly comfortable with our nudity, and we want you to be as comfortable with your nudity as we are with ours," Mrs. Garza told the students. “When you've removed all clothing, leave it there and come sit down on the sofas, so we can begin the lab.”"Now get those clothes off. Come on let's get a move on," Mr. Garza ordered the students. This was quickly followed by all of the students beginning to remove all of their clothing. Some of the students struggled with taking off their clothes because they continued to pay attention to their naked teachers at the front of the classroom. Eventually all of the students were naked in the classroom, most of the students were shyly covering their genitals."All right; now that all of you are naked we are going to go over the first thing that happens to begin the sexual cycle; arousal," said Mr. Garza."Who can tell me what the signs of arousal are in a man?" Mrs. Garza asked the class. Devon, a slightly nerdy looking student raised his hand and started to reveal what looked like an impressive erection he was trying to hide under his hand."Yes Devon?" Mrs. Garza said."Well the most obvious signs of arousal in a man is, that his penis will become hard and erect, which is known as an erection," said Devon "another sign of arousal in a man is that his testicles will swell as they prepare to release semen.""Yes, that is correct, Devon," said Mrs. Garza. "Now, there are many different ways to get a man aroused and cause him to have an erection. The first and most obvious way, which I'm sure many of you young men are experiencing, is seeing a naked woman. I'm sure that since I took off my clothes many of you began to have an erection, which was only increased when your fellow female classmates also took off their clothes; so you should not be ashamed about having an erection right now.""As you can see I am also beginning to produce an erection from seeing my wife and all these lovely young ladies naked," said Mr. Garza, which prompted many of the female students to look at his hardening penis, which was now pointed almost straight out and had increased in both length and thickness."We will discuss other ways you can cause arousal, but for now could someone tell me about what arousal looks like for a woman," Mr. Garza asked. Michelle, a brunette girl of average height raised her right hand, while she continued to use her left hand to try and cover her full C-cup breasts."Yes Michelle," said Mr. Garza."Well when a women gets aroused, her nipples get hard and erect, and sometimes her breasts swell so that they appear fuller and her vagina begins to get wet," Michelle said nervously."That is correct, Michelle," said Mrs. Garza "I'm sure many of you young ladies are beginning to feel several of these sensations. Now, women also get aroused by seeing a naked man, particularly if he is sporting an erection, but it usually takes slightly more to get a woman aroused. Women need more intimate sensations to become fully aroused, such as kissing and caressing from their partner.""We are now going to begin the rest of our discussion about how men and women become more aroused," said Mr. Garza. "I notice many of you are subconsciously fidgeting. Part of our discussion about arousal will involve talking about masturbation, so if any of you feel the need, we would encourage you to masturbate during this discussion. If that makes any of you feel uncomfortable, change your attitude. It's important that none of you do or say anything which hampers another student's learning experience.""Now the completion of arousal and the sexual cycle is when you experience an orgasm," said Mrs. Garza. "For men, this results in the ejaculation of semen from the penis. I'm sure most of you young men have experienced this sensation, through masturbation, but it is even better if you have a partner bring you to orgasm. I am now going to demonstrate this to all of you, while using my husband as an example."Then Mrs. Garza approached her husband, and began to make out with him. After she had kissed him for a while she reached down and grabbed his penis with one hand, which was now fully erect. As she stopped kissing her husband for a moment she turned back to the class and said, "Now, I am going to stroke my husband's penis, which is commonly known as a hand job. Now girls, you want to make sure the man is feeling pleasure from this and it is not too dry and causing painful friction." Mrs. Garza continued to stroke her husband's penis while the students, especially the female students, stared intently at her pleasuring her husband. A young girl named Erika, began shaking a bit from an orgasm as she had one hand between her legs and the other hand pleasuring one of her nipples on her large D-cup breasts. Mr. Garza began to moan louder as his wife stroked his penis."Now students, you will notice that Mr. Garza is moaning louder this means that he is probably close to having an orgasm. Ladies, another thing you should notice is that a man's testicles will keep drawing closer to his body. This is another indication that the man is about to cum. Now Mr. Garza should cum soon so I especially want you ladies to pay attention so you know what happens when a man ejaculates." Mr. Garza began breathing and moaning very loudly and suddenly began ejaculating, having a very good orgasm. Mrs. Garza continued stroking her husband's penis until his orgasm was completed. As Mr. Garza sat down to relax, Mrs. Garza again addressed the class."Now you have seen what happens when a man has an orgasm. Ladies, one thing for you to know is that if you are giving a man a hand job you want to make sure you continue stroking his penis until his orgasm is complete. You don't want to stop right as he starts ejaculating, because that will cause his orgasm to stop sooner, and you want to make sure you give him as good of an orgasm as you can. Any questions class?"Alexis a shy, short girl with nice B-cup breasts and long nipples raised her hand. "Yes Alexis?" Mrs. Garza asked."What was that white stuff coming out of his penis?" Alexis obviously had next to zero information on human sexuality. She just couldn't comprehend the male anatomy from the textbooks, last fall. So what happened to Mr. Garza totally confounded her."That is a very good question, Alexis. That is called semen. When a man is having sex with you and he ejaculates inside your vagina his semen carries sperm to your eggs, and may cause you to become pregnant. For those of you ladies who have never experienced having a man ejaculate inside you it is an amazing feeling and you will all experience it in this course."Now Alexis was starting to understand the textbooks! Her fundamentalist private school didn't teach sex ed, and her mother told her that sex is nasty. Perhaps that's why her father left the marriage when Alexis was just 2, and she never knew him?Mrs. Garza looked back at her husband. "Honey, are you ready to continue with the lesson?" Mrs. Garza asked her husband."Yes, I am ready to continue now," Mr. Garza replied."Now we are going to show what happens when a woman has an orgasm." Mrs. Garza climbed on top of the table and her husband came over behind the table, facing the students, and carressed her legs."Now boys before you begin directly pleasuring a women's vagina. You can start by kissing a woman's neck and once you do that for a while. You can move down to her breasts. Now each woman is different so make sure that you pay attention to her signals to see whether she is enjoying what you are doing. I know that my wife's breasts are very sensitive and she loves it when I pay attention to her breasts. What I like to do is kiss around the edge of my wife's breasts and slowly make my way to her nipples. This usually drives her crazy.""Oh babe stop just talking about it and get over here and kiss me," his wife said in anticipation. Mr. Garza then leaned over and began kissing his wife while reaching one hand down to fondle her very large breast. He continued to kiss his and eventually broke apart from her lips to start kissing her neck. He continued kissing his way down her body making his way toward her breasts. He started kissing one breast while groping the other and Mrs. Garza started moaning louder. He then began paying more attention to her nipples, which only increased her arousal. The students started becoming even more excited as they watched their teacher pleasure his wife. The arousal became too much for a couple of the boys and they began ejaculating into their hands. Mr. Garza turned back around to address the class."Now class I am about to show you what is commonly known as fingering a woman. I'm sure several of you young women know what this is like and so I especially want the young men to pay attention so they know what they are doing with a woman. Now the first thing you want to do is make sure the woman has a very wet vagina. You do this by rubbing your finger along the lips of a woman's vagina." He then demonstrated this on his wife, which brought about a very happy moan from her."Now once you have determined that the woman is properly aroused you can insert your finger inside of her. Now you usually want to start with only one finger but you can add more fingers depending on what the woman wants." He then inserted his fingers inside his wife and began pleasuring her."Now in order to make sure a woman reaches orgasm you want to keep paying attention to what she likes. The best way to know if a woman has reached her orgasm is that you will feel her vaginal muscles gripping your finger or if you are having sex you will feel them gripping your penis. This is an amazing thing to feel especially if it happens while you are ejaculating."Mrs. Garza then began experiencing an orgasm and her legs shook with pleasure. This final sexual display was too much for the rest of the students as most of them began having orgasms of their own, including Erika arriving at her second orgasm of the class time.Class DismissedAs his wife began coming down from her orgasm Mr. Garza addressed the class one last time."Now I want y'all to think about what you learned today and if you are comfortable enough you can put some of what you learned into practice. However, our class time is up, so you can all get dressed and we'll call it a day.”As the students began dressing, Mr. Garza added one last instruction; “Remember that if you're found to have disclosed any information to anyone outside this classroom, You'll be removed from the group and given an F for the course. This class is a success only if you feel safe and respected by everyone. We intend to honor that trust. Is everyone okay with that?”After all the students had dressed, Mrs. Garza pressed the button to unlock the classroom doors. After the 12 students left the classroom, Antonio walked over to his gorgeous wife who was still naked, sitting with her bare ass on the end of the wooden table. "Well that was an interesting lesson. I think I'm really going to enjoy this class," he told his wife as he pushed a lock of her hair behind her ears and began to kiss her. She spread her legs for him."Yeah I bet you loved having all those beautiful, young, naked girls staring at your big cock while they pleasured themselves as I stroked you, especially that one girl with the big tits that had an orgasm while I was stroking you," his wife responded as he began to kiss down her neck. She also reached down to find that his penis was getting hard again."Yes, it was fantastic to see those young women naked and I'm sure you enjoyed seeing all those young men stroking their cocks as they stared at your big breasts." To emphasize his point he then leaned in and started kissing and fondling his wife's large breasts. She continued to pull on his hard cock as she responded."Yes several of them did have very nice cocks. That nerdy kid, Devon, looked like he was packing some serious meat, and did you see the big head on that one kid's cock? You know how much I love a big cock head," as she rubbed her thumb over her husband's large cock head."Well then I guess it's a good thing I can provide that for you. Are you ready for it?" Antonio asked Phoebe, as he rubbed his finger across her slit, feeling how moist she was for him."God yes! Fuck me now, please!" He reached down and grabbed his very hard cock and pushed it into his wife."Oh yes; your pussy feels so good, baby; I love how it grabs my cock.""That's because your cock is so big. I love how deep it goes inside me," she moaned in response as he continued to thrust into her."I can feel your cock pulsating inside of me. Are you still thinking about those sexy, beautiful, young girls, babe?""I might be," he responded with a twinkle in his eye and grin on his face, "like you're not thinking about those young men and their hard young cocks?""Okay, you're right. Watching them stroke their young cocks earlier, turned me on so much. I'm still so turned on that I think I'm going to come very soon.""Good baby, because I'm about to shoot another huge load into your pussy," he moaned into her ear as he continued thrusting into her while groping her huge breasts."Oh god, yes! Make me feel that big dick spurting deep inside me. Oh god, I'm cumming!" Phoebe squealed as she wrapped her arms and legs around her Antonio, as she pushed him deeper inside of her as she had another very powerful orgasm. He also began to moan louder, as he emptied his balls deep inside his wife. They both began to calm down from their mutual orgasms. Antonio looked deep into his wife's eyes, and brushed her hair as his dick began to soften inside of her."Yes this is definitely going to be a great summer," he said to her.She looked back up at him and simply said, "Oh yeah."Session TwoBethany was the last to arrive, but she was still on time. She took more time to wax her mound, and she had to do it a second time, because her dyslexia led to misunderstanding the package instructions.She hopes none of her teammates and dorm sisters find out she's in this course. She's rather active, sexually, but doesn't do well learning from textbooks. She relies on her study groups in these ‘book-learning' classes. She knows human sexuality very well, but does very poorly on written tests.All the students gradually proceeded to enter the classroom. When all were present, Professor Phoebe Garza pressed the remote door lock, and the students were instructed to remove their garments, and find a seat on one of the four upholstered sofas facing the front. The professors also stripped and left their items behind the leather sofa, in the front corner of the floor. The two professors were standing at the front of the classroom, completely naked. The students all undressed and left all personal items in the student desks, then came down to sit in the sofas, until all their classmates were seated on a sofa, ready to begin.Mr. Garza commented to his fellow professor, that no one dropped the class, and they all showed positive signs of eagerness to get the most out of the class.Several students had much less pubic hair today. The gals all had paid more attention to grooming, cosmetics, and hair accessories. Some wore earrings or short necklaces. The guys were all clean, shaven, and smelled great. The gals smelled fresh and flowery. No one came late, and two of the students were waiting at the door even before the professors had the classroom unlocked. The professors noted the good hygiene and were glad they didn't need to address the topic, openly.The class participants are as follows.Professors:· Phoebe Garza – sports a 36 Double D bust with a buxom figure. A thirty-eight year old with a PhD.· Antonio Garza – packs a 7 inch flaccid cock which surpasses 9 inches when rigid. He's a Spanish man with a doctorate. He's 39 with a hard body from playing Rugby with the faculty team.The female students:· Bethany – fills out a 34 F bra. She's tall with long brown hair. Captain of the cycling team.· Michelle – has a nice 34 C chest. She went to an all-girls high school. A brunette virgin

Welcome or welcome back to Authentically ADHD, the podcast where we embrace the chaos and magic of the ADHD brain. Im carmen and today we're diving into a topic that's as complex as my filing system (which is to say, very): ADHD and its common co-occurring mood and learning disorders. Fasten your seatbelts (and if you're like me, try not to get distracted by the shiny window view) – we're talking anxiety, depression, OCD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and bipolar disorder, all hanging out with ADHD.Why cover this? Because ADHD rarely rides solo. In fact, research compiled by Dr. Russell Barkley finds that over 80% of children and adults with ADHD have at least one other psychiatric disorder, and more than half have two or more coexisting conditions. Two-thirds of folks with ADHD have at least one coexisting condition, and often the classic ADHD symptoms (you know, fidgeting, daydreaming, “Did I leave the stove on?” moments) can overshadow those other disorders. It's like ADHD is the friend who talks so loud at the party that you don't notice the quieter buddies (like anxiety or dyslexia) tagging along in the background.But we're going to notice them today. With a blend of humor, sass, and solid neuroscience (yes, we can be funny and scientific – ask me how I know!), we'll explore how each of these conditions shows up alongside ADHD. We'll talk about how they can be misdiagnosed or missed entirely, and—most importantly—we'll dish out strategies to tell them apart and tackle both. Knowledge is power and self-awareness is the key, especially when it comes to untangling ADHD's web of quirks and comrades in chaos. So, let's get into it!ADHD and Anxiety: Double Trouble in OverdriveLet's start with anxiety, ADHD's frequent (and frantic) companion. Ever had your brain ping-pong between “I can't focus on this work” and “I'm so worried I'll mess it up”? That's ADHD and anxiety playing tango in your head. It's a double whammy: ADHD makes it hard to concentrate, and anxiety cranks up the worry about consequences. As one study notes, about 2 in 5 children with ADHD have significant problems with anxiety, and over half of adults with ADHD do as well. In other words, if you have ADHD and feel like a nervous wreck half the time, you're not alone – you're in very good (and jittery) company.ADHD and anxiety can look a lot alike on the surface. Both can make you restless, unfocused, and irritable. I mean, is it ADHD distractibility or am I just too busy worrying about everything to pay attention? (Hint: it can be both.) Especially for women, ADHD is often overlooked and mislabeled as anxiety. Picture a girl who can't concentrate in class: if she's constantly daydreaming and fidgety, one teacher calls it ADHD. Another sees a quiet, overwhelmed student and calls it anxiety. Same behavior, different labels. Women in particular have had their ADHD misdiagnosed as anxiety or mood issues for years, partly because anxious females tend to internalize symptoms (less hyperactive, more “worrier”), and that masks the ADHD beneath.So how do we tell ADHD and anxiety apart? One clue is where the distraction comes from. ADHD is like having 100 TV channels in your brain and someone else is holding the remote – your attention just flips on its own. Anxiety, on the other hand, is like one channel stuck on a horror movie; you can't focus on other things because a worry (or ten) is running on repeat. An adult with ADHD might forget a work deadline because, well, ADHD. An adult with anxiety might miss the deadline because they were paralyzed worrying about being perfect. Both end up missing the deadline (relatable – ask me how I know), but for different reasons.Neuroscience is starting to unravel this knot. There's evidence of a genetic link between ADHD and anxiety – the two often run in the family together. In brain studies, both conditions involve irregularities in the prefrontal cortex (the brain's command center for focus and planning) and the limbic system (emotion center). Essentially, if your brain were a car, ADHD means the brakes (inhibition) are a bit loose, and anxiety means the alarm system is hyper-sensitive. Combine loose brakes with a blaring alarm and you get… well, us. Fun times, right?Here's an interesting tidbit: Females with ADHD are more likely to report anxiety than males. Some experts think this is partly due to underdiagnosed ADHD – many girls grew up being told they were just “worrywarts” when in fact ADHD was lurking underneath, making everyday life more overwhelming and thus feeding anxiety. As Dr. Thomas Brown (a top ADHD expert) points out, emotional regulation difficulties (like chronic stress or worry) are characteristic of ADHD, even though they're not in the official DSM checklist. Our ADHD brains can amplify emotions – so a normal worry for someone else becomes a five-alarm fire for us.Now, action time: How do we manage this dynamic duo? The first step is getting the right diagnosis. A clinician should untangle whether symptoms like trouble concentrating are from anxiety, ADHD, or both. They might ask: Have you always had concentration issues (pointing to ADHD), or did they start when your anxiety kicked into high gear? Also, consider context – ADHD symptoms occur in most settings (school, work, home), while pure anxiety might spike in specific situations (say, social anxiety in crowds, or panic attacks only under stress).Treatment has to tackle both. Therapy – especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – is a rockstar here. CBT can teach you skills to manage worry (hello, deep breathing and logical rebuttals to “what if” thoughts) and also help with ADHD organization hacks (like breaking tasks down, creating routines). Many find that medication is needed for one or both conditions. Stimulant meds (like methylphenidate or amphetamines) treat ADHD, but in someone with severe anxiety, a stimulant alone can sometimes ramp up the jitters. In fact, children (and adults) with ADHD + anxiety often don't respond as well to ADHD meds unless the anxiety is also addressed. Doctors might add an SSRI or other anti-anxiety medication to the mix, or choose a non-stimulant ADHD med if stimulants prove too anxiety-provoking.Let me share a quick personal strategy (with a dash of humor): I have ADHD and anxiety, so my brain is basically an internet browser with 50 tabs open – and 10 of them are frozen on a spinning “wheel of doom” (those are the anxieties). One practical tip that helps me distinguish the two is to write down my racing thoughts. If I see worries like “I'll probably get fired for sending that email typo” dominating the page, I know anxiety is flaring. If the page is blank because I got distracted after one sentence... well, hello ADHD! This silly little exercise helps me decide: do I need to do some calming techniques, or do I need to buckle down and use an ADHD strategy like the Pomodoro method? Try it out: Knowledge is power, and self-awareness is the key.Quick Tips – ADHD vs Anxiety: When in doubt, ask what's driving the chaos.* Content of Thoughts: Racing mind full of specific worries (anxiety) vs. racing mind full of everything except what you want to focus on (ADHD).* Physical Symptoms: Anxiety often brings friends like sweaty palms, racing heart, and tummy trouble. ADHD's restlessness isn't usually accompanied by fear, just boredom or impulsivity.* Treatment Approaches: For co-occurring cases, consider therapy and possibly a combo of medications. Experts often treat the most impairing symptom first – if panic attacks keep you homebound, address that alongside ADHD. Conversely, untreated ADHD can actually fuel anxiety (ever notice how missing deadlines and forgetfulness make you more anxious? Ask me how I know!). A balanced plan might be, say, stimulant medication + talk therapy for anxiety, or an SSRI combined with ADHD coaching. Work closely with a professional to fine-tune this.Alright, take a breath (seriously, if you've been holding it – breathing is good!). We've tackled anxiety; now let's talk about the dark cloud that can sometimes follow ADHD: depression.ADHD and Depression: When the Chaos Brings a CloudADHD is often associated with being energetic, spontaneous, even optimistic (“Sure, I can start a new project at 2 AM!”). So why do so many of us also struggle with depression? The reality is, living with unmanaged ADHD can be tough. Imagine years of what Dr. Russell Barkley calls “developmental delay” in executive function – always feeling one step behind in managing life, despite trying so hard. It's no surprise that about 1 in 5 kids with ADHD also has a diagnosable depression, and studies show anywhere from 8% to 55% of adults with ADHD have experienced a depressive disorder in their lifetime. (Yes, that range is huge – it depends how you define “depression” – but even on the low end it's a lot.) Dr. Barkley himself notes that roughly 25% of people with ADHD will develop significant depression by adulthood. In short, ADHD can come with a case of the blues (not the fun rhythm-and-blues kind, unfortunately).So what does ADHD + depression look like? Picture this: You've got a pile of unfinished projects, bills, laundry – the ADHD “trail of crumbs.” Initially, you shrug it off or maybe crack a joke (“organizational skills, who's she?”). But over time, the failures and frustrations can chip away at your self-esteem. You start feeling helpless or hopeless: “Why bother trying if I'm just going to screw it up or forget again?” That right there is the voice of depression sneaking in. ADHD's impulsivity might also lead to regrettable decisions or conflicts that you later brood over, another pathway to depressed mood.In fact, the Attention Deficit Disorder Association points out that ADHD's impact on our lives – trouble with self-esteem, work or school difficulties, and strained relationships – can contribute to depression. It's like a one-two punch: ADHD creates problems; those problems make you sad or defeated, which then makes it even harder to deal with ADHD. Fun cycle, huh?Now, depression itself can mask as ADHD in some cases, especially in adults. Poor concentration, low motivation, fatigue, social withdrawal – these can appear in major depression and look a lot like ADHD symptoms. If an adult walks into a doctor's office saying “I can't focus and I'm procrastinating a ton,” a cursory eval might yield an ADHD diagnosis. But if that focus problem started only after they, say, lost a loved one or fell into a deep funk, and they also feel worthless or have big sleep/appetite changes, depression may be the primary culprit. On the flip side, a person with lifelong ADHD might be misdiagnosed as just depressed, because they seem down or overwhelmed. As always, timeline is key: ADHD usually starts early (childhood), whereas depression often has a more defined onset. Also, ask: Is the inability to focus present even when life's going okay? If yes, ADHD is likely in the mix. If the focus issues wax and wane with mood, depression might be the driver.There's also a nuance: ADHD mood issues vs. clinical depression. People with ADHD can have intense emotions and feel demoralized after a bad day, but often these feelings can lift if something positive happens (say, an exciting new interest appears – suddenly we have energy!). Clinical depression is more persistent – even good news might not cheer you up much. As Dr. Thomas Brown emphasizes, ADHD includes difficulty regulating emotion; an ADHD-er might feel sudden anger or sadness that's intense but then dissipates . By contrast, depression is a consistent low mood or loss of pleasure in things over weeks or months. Knowing this difference can be huge in sorting out what's going on.Now, how do we deal with this combo? The good news: many treatments for depression also help ADHD and vice versa. Therapy is a prime example. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches can address negative thought patterns (“I'm just a failure”) and also help with practical skills for ADHD (like scheduling, or as I call it, tricking my brain into doing stuff on time). There are even specialized therapies for adults with ADHD that blend mood and attention strategies. On the medication front, sometimes a single med can pull double duty. One interesting option is bupropion (Wellbutrin) – an antidepressant that affects dopamine and norepinephrine, which can improve both depression and ADHD symptoms in some people. There's also evidence that stimulant medications plus an antidepressant can be a powerful combo: stimulants to improve concentration and energy, antidepressant to lift mood. Psychiatrists will tailor this to the individual – for instance, if someone is severely depressed (can't get out of bed), treating depression first may be priority. If the depression seems secondary to ADHD struggles, improving the ADHD could automatically boost mood. Often, it's a balancing act of treating both concurrently – maybe starting an antidepressant and an ADHD med around the same time, or ensuring therapy covers both bases.Let's not forget lifestyle: exercise, sleep, nutrition – these affect both ADHD and mood. Regular exercise, for example, can increase BDNF (a brain growth factor) and neurotransmitters that help both attention and mood. Personally, I found that when I (finally) started a simple exercise routine, my mood swings evened out a bit and my brain felt a tad less foggy. (Of course, starting that routine required overcoming my ADHD inertia – ask me how I know that took a few tries... or twenty.)Quick Tips – ADHD vs Depression:* Check Your Joy Meter: With ADHD alone, you can still feel happy/excited when something engaging happens (ADHD folks light up for interesting tasks!). With depression, even things you normally love barely register. If your favorite hobbies no longer spark any joy, that's a red flag for depression.* All in Your Head? ADHD negative thoughts sound like “Ugh, I forgot again, I need a better system.” Depression thoughts sound like “I forgot again because I'm useless and nothing will ever change.” Listen to that self-talk; depression is a sneaky bully.* Professional Help: A thorough evaluation can include psychological tests or questionnaires to measure attention and mood separately. For treatment, consider a combined approach: therapy (like CBT or coaching) plus meds as needed. According to research, a mix of stimulant medication and therapy (especially CBT) can help treat both conditions. And remember, addressing one can often relieve the other: improve your ADHD coping skills, and you might start seeing hope instead of disappointment (boosting mood); treat your depression, and suddenly you have the energy to tackle that ADHD to-do list.Before we move on, one more important note: if you ever have thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out to a professional immediately. Depression is serious, and when compounded with ADHD impulsivity, it can be dangerous. There is help, and you're not alone – so many of us have been in that dark place, and it can get better with the right support. Knowledge is power and self-awareness is the key, yes, but sometimes you also need a good therapist, maybe a support group, and possibly medication to truly turn things around. There's no shame in that game.Alright, deep breath. It's getting a bit heavy in here, so let's pivot to something different: a condition that seems like the opposite of ADHD in some ways, yet can co-occur – OCD. And don't worry, we'll crank the sass back up a notch.ADHD and OCD: The Odd Couple of AttentionWhen you think of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you might picture someone extremely organized, checking the stove 10 times, everything neat and controlled. When you think ADHD… well, “organized” isn't the first word that comes to mind, right?
They are the coaches you love to hate but it's getting harder every day. Of course you would love a Harbaugh if he was your head coach but there sure is a lot of respect for them being open and honest as they visit Trump at the White House. Sportsradio 810 host Jason Anderson posted fantastic side by side comparison pics of Travis Kelce at the Lake Tahoe Celebrity golf tourney last year and this year. Kelce was an all out bloated slob in the photo... from LAST YEAR. This year... ripped. So, it's ok to point out a year later that Kelce wasn't serious about being in shape but not of a player as it's actually happening? It's your choice... you can choose real or cheerleader media. Charles Barkley says he will "100 percent" support Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl if he runs for Senate in Alabama. Pearl is Jewish and conservative and outspoken. Stay tuned. The Royals host the Mets this weekend and have a huge night Sunday in the MLB draft as they have FIVE picks on the first day. And our Song of the Week takes us back to Lake Tahoe and that celebrity golf tournament we worked so many times over the years. We have a Trump story, a Mark Cuban story and a Song of the Week from a band that took a liking to Miss Jessica.

Why would the Mavericks choose D'Angelo Russell over a legend like Chris Paul?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery 5pm Money Hour on The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into the Mavericks' latest offseason moves—and they don't hold back.In this episode, the crew breaks down the Mavericks' expected signing of D'Angelo Russell to a 2-year, $12 million deal. Is it a smart move or a desperate patch until Kyrie returns? Skin offers sharp insight into Russell's value, noting, “He's making a third of what he made last year. That tells you what the market thinks of him.”The conversation takes a turn into the philosophical as they ponder Chris Paul's legacy and why he might prefer hanging with his kids in L.A. over chasing a ring in Dallas. “He's gonna go down with Barkley and Stockton—greats who never got a ring,” Skin reflects.

First, some general questions about the Top 12 (3:30) including who was the toughest to rank and Bijan Robinson vs. Ja'Marr Chase ... Are running backs or wide receivers safer (17:15)? What does the data tell us? Also, some quick news and notes (20:30) and then we discuss Robinson (22:00) and Chase (26:55) with arguments for and against each of them. Then we focus on Justin Jefferson (31:40) for a while and his quarterback situation. Don't forget about his target competition, too ... Comparing Jefferson to Saquon Barkley and CeeDee Lamb (38:05).

"If they ain't hating on you, then you aren't doing something right." Shaquille O'Neal One of our favorite people and top Pivot Podcast guest returns as we welcome a man who needs no introduction, our friend, the one and only Shaquille O'Neal. Sitting with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor- Shaq jumps right into the chaos and fun of the world we know, the dynamic of life after sports, shares some inside stories, offers his thoughts on current NBA, the mindset shift it took to build a business empire, give back to communities, and discover his true purpose. From the end of TNT's Inside the NBA show to his relationship with Charles Barkley, Shaq says how he avoids emotions around changes he can't control and admits the two occasions he cried, losing his sister to cancer and losing his brother Kobe Bryant. He expounds on questions surrounding his relationship with Kobe and how he regrets not reaching out sooner as he explains the tough lesson in the reality that once someone is gone, they are gone forever with no redos or second chances. Shaq continues telling Ryan, Channing and Fred that we have to approach life with open hearts to always forgive and be the bigger person even when it's most difficult. He reveals what's been the glue to his bond with Barkley over the years and the why that we never knew existed. The icon's larger than life personality comes through as the guys talk about what really happens after the final buzzer sounds as Shaq keeps it real speaking on his era of players vs now, breaks down the NBA finals between Oklahoma City and Indiana, dismisses the small market vs large market not making entertaining basketball, weighs in on the true GOAT conversation, and who he sees as the current player who wears the crown as the league's face, and best ways of navigating identity outside of the NBA. From owning businesses to being a father and mentor, Shaq reveals what keeps motivating him to keep making big moves, and it's not just money...this conversation is full of laughs, locker room talk and true fellowship as we really cover so many aspects of life and do it in a pivotal way where you are laughing one moment and in deep thought the next.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Dodgers in ten. Lindor led off the game with a home run and also had an RBI single. Charles Barkley was on with Dan Patrick talking about going from TNT to ESPN and how odd it's been since TNT is trying to keep them to do a show while they are going to ESPN. Weird.
