This week I speak to Ben Sinclair, a Customer Success Manager with a global software company about broken dreams and new beginnings. In high school, Ben was a sports scholarship student with dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Like many athletes, Ben didn’t have a backup plan, he just put everything he had into becoming a football star. After finishing high school and not immediately making an AFL side, Ben went on to play VFL for a few years, starting a carpentry apprenticeship to pay the bills while he pursued his goal of gaining that elusive AFL position. Overnight Ben’s dreams were dashed and his football and carpentry careers came to a grinding halt after a freak worksite accident. Ben and I chat about this life-changing moment, the lifeline his grandfather gave him, the challenges of working in a family business and how his network has led him to a new career path with new goals and much different life aspirations. Ben’s story is raw, real and inspiring.   To find out more about Ben you can follow him on LinkedIn Follow If Only You Knew Podcast on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter for more episodes, photos, videos and other show content.

Largement considéré comme un “sport de mec”, aujourd’hui le skate s’ouvre et séduit de plus en plus de jeunes femmes. Une passion qui anime les filles de la série “Betty”. Tous les jours, elles rident les rues d’un New-York gentrifié en se faisant une place dans cet univers masculin. Dans ce nouvel épisode, Clémentine revient sur cette série et discute skate et féminisme. Références entendues dans l’épisode : La série Betty est réalisée par Crystal Moselle en 2020 pour HBO. Le documentaire The Wolfpack sur six frères enfermés dans leur appartement de Manhattan a été réalisé par Crystal Moselle en 2015. Le long-métrage Skate Kitchen, fiction sur le collectif de skateuses The Skate Kitchen a été réalisé en 2017 par Crystal Moselle et remarqué au Sundance Festival de 2018. La série Betty en est son adaptation télévisuelle. L’expression “mean girls” est popularisée par la comédie du même nom avec Lindsay Lohan et Rachel Mc Adams en 2004. Le terme “betty” (pour “skateboard betty”) est une expression péjorative pour désigner les filles regardant et suivant les garçons skaters ou essayant en vain de leur ressembler. Les skateuses de The Skate Kitchen se réapproprient ce terme aujourd’hui pour valoriser l’identité propre des skateuses femmes. Nina Moran est une actrice et activiste à l’origine de Skate Kitchen. Elle joue le rôle de Kirt dans la série Betty dont elle parle dans un entretien pour la Radio Publique de New York. La campagne Skate like a girl. L’honteux article de Chris Nieratko pour Vice en 2009 sur l’apparence des skateuses. Patti McGee, première femme skateuse professionnelle à entrer au Skateboard Hall of Fame faisant le poirier sur son skate pour la couverture du magazine Life. Elle en parle à la télévision en 1965. L’article de RTL sur le skate comme moyen d’émancipation pour les femmes. Les skate de la marque Oxelo.Les Longboard Bustin. Les skate de la marque Carver avec système de pompage. L’association parisienne Realaxe qui donne des cours et organise des sessions pour les filles en île-de-France.How to make it in America est une série de 2010 de Ian Edelman pour HBO sur de jeunes entrepreneurs à New-York.

I got to link up with him at The Emerald Cup where we were both working the event (watch the interview with Tommy Chong) and smoked a J together.... the rest is history. The stand up comic, TV Producer, Journalist, Writer, wrote the weekly column for Weediquette, was the host for Bong Appétit on VICE, the co-creator of Great Moments in Weed History, is currently in the process of writing a film with Ben Sinclair for FOX Searchlight and New Regency, Saeed is on fire very much in the mix of cannabis content creation. Great Moments in Weed History delves deep into humanity's 10,000+ year relationship with cannabis (a.k.a. "marijuana") to find the humor, heart, and historical importance of this very special plant. In each episode, co-hosts Abdullah Saeed and David Bienenstock blaze joints, crack jokes, and explore the people, places, and events that make up the complex and fascinating past of weed and weed culture, from Barack Obama's time in the "Choom Gang," to an exclusive first-hand account of how the Hollywood sign briefly became the Hollyweed sign. Great Moments in Weed History is a Spoke Media original. We talk about the power of cannabis, the way it brings people together no matter where you are. His recent appearance at a Juggalos event (where he joined in painting his face) just verified to him that he can go to a cannabis event anywhere in the world that he will run into someone he knows. Abdullah also brings weed to the "normal" masses via KCRW/Cannabis NPR in his weekly show educating those that may not have any other access to cannabis news including his ventures into an underground "Weed Speakeasy".

His newspaper ads read 1-800-WANT-POT, promising New Yorkers quality cannabis at a fair price, delivered in under an hour, by bicycle, at a time when legal cannabis was still a distant dream. Known as the Pope of Pot, Mickey Cesar had first learned how to navigate the illicit weed business in the 1970s while living in Amsterdam, before coming home to start America's first underground delivery service. What followed was a tale of overcoming arrests, getting shot, and a snitch calling Howard Stern, all to bring the cannabis sacrament to his growing flock. This episode features special guest Ben Sinclair, star and co-creator of High Maintenance on HBO. On High Maintenance, Ben plays a NYC weed delivery guy who makes his rounds on bicycle, so naturally Abdullah and Bean were thrilled to share with Ben the story of his real life predecessor.  We recorded live in front of a standing-room-only crowd at the Bell House in NYC as part of the 2020 Brooklyn Podcast Festival.

For fans of the HBO series High Maintenance, Ben Sinclair is practically synonymous with “The Guy,” the laid-back New York City weed dealer he plays on the show. And while a lot of the show is inspired by Ben and his co-creator and ex-wife Katja Blichfeld's personal life experiences, these days, Ben's trying to separate himself from some of his character's most well-known attributes. "I'm starting to grow out of smoking weed," he told me. "I feel joy at the anticipation of getting stoned, but once I'm stoned, I'm like, ugh, why did I do this?" Ben talked with me about his childhood in an Arizona suburb, struggling in New York in his 20s, what he learned from his divorce, and what he's turning to now that he's smoking less.  If you're new to High Maintenance, here are five of my favorite episodes. I only picked from the last four seasons of HBO for ease in finding, but the whole web series is amazing, which you can find here. "Dongle" (Season 3, Episode 7): A Puerto Rican man who just arrived in New York starts work on a road crew and starts a flirtation with his bodega guy. "Googie" (Season 2, Episode 6): The Guy is recovering at home after a bike injury, and after smoking a lot of pot and streaming a lot of television, he goes out for a walk. "M.A.S.H." (Season 3, Episode 1): A wake brings together a collection of people in upstate New York, who join together in an inspired music jam.  "Adelante" (Season 4, Episode 6): An encounter with ex in an Uber pool, and a dental hygienist goes on a date with a patient and then returns to her home in the Bronx. "Scromple" (Season 2, Episode 5): The Guy and his ex-wife run into each other in a hospital.

The wonderful HBO comedy High Maintenance followers a pot dealer, The Guy, as he makes his rounds by bike and visits the apartments of the Brooklynite characters that text him to arrange deliveries. The show captures the Brooklyn we know and love — and skewers it, ironically and affectionately. Ben Sinclair plays The Guy. He's also the co-creator of the show. High Maintenance debuted as a no-budget indie web series, became a critics favorite, and got picked up by HBO, which allowed them to expand the canvas they had already been painting to beautiful effect. The third season starts on January 20. In this episode Ken talks with Ben about making High Maintenance, his creative process, biking in New York, the break up with his wife while maintaining a creative partnership, his relationship to cannabis, and his encounter with ayahuasca.

Watching TV — especially when it isn't, strictly speaking, on TV — has gotten complicated. It's not just “should I be staring at a screen for this many hours of the day?” or "I am having 'House of Cards' nightmares." It's that there are so many choices, content-related and otherwise. Sometimes it's hard to sort through them.  We want to help you watch online TV better: better shows to watch, better ways to watch, and, to offer up a little guidance on the thorny questions of what to pay for. Hopefully, this week's podcast lightens the conscience of your inner couch potato.  Our conversation with Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld, the creators of "High Maintenance," points the way. They've chosen to put their show exclusively online in a bargain that bestows artistic freedom but leaves them kinda broke. We also talk to our friend, Arwa Gunja, otherwise known as "The Streamstress."   One of the questions that came up: Is it OK to share log-in information with people outside of your household?If you're like 46 percent of HBO Go/Netflix/Hulu Plus/WatchESPN/Amazon Prime Instant Video watchers, you have too. The CEO of HBO Go may or may not care. There's a shaky, complicated, really, really big debate out there.  After we wrapped the taping of our show craving even more certainty, we posed the question to a whole bunch of people who think about the bright lines of acceptable behavior — a priest, an imam, a Supreme Court justice (she very politely declined), and more... Matt Kilmer, Music Coordinator and composer for ‘Louie': "...If you live with two roommates, it's fine to have one account between you all, and likewise with family living under one roof. However, if you are sharing a password with your old best friend from high school who lives on the opposite coast as you, then that's crossing the line IMO...$7.99/mo isn't breaking the bank for anyone who owns a device capable of streaming from any of these services." Marci Auld Glass, pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho: "I personally share my Netflix and HBO account with my son who is at college. If any other family asked me, I would likely share with them too. I haven't had friends ask me, but I would be less likely to do that, I think... I am not sure I have an objection to sharing digital media. I purchase my digital music and video, and am happy to do so. I understand why companies would put limits on how many “devices” can be used by one account. They need to make money."  Mitra Kaboli, senior producer of 'The Heart': "For the last few years, honestly more than I can remember, I've been using an old lover of mine's Netflix account... Ethically, I have no problem with this. It's such a small sum of money and I feel like Netflix acknowledges that accounts are shared so I don't feel any moral qualms. The larger issue was if he got a new credit card, so I could no longer continue my 'Orange is the New Black' binge... Sometimes I got paranoid that these were passive aggressive messages aimed at me. Although, I'm certain they are not. He shared that account with seven or so people." Mustafa Umar, Director of Education and Outreach at the Islamic Institute of Orange County, California: "Sharing a password to copyrighted material is a gray area because it violates the intellectual property and copyright laws which you agreed to in the terms of service when signing up for the service. However, at the same time, it is not always directly harming anyone since that property is not transferred from one owner to the next. Given this circumstance, it comes down to the spirit of the law vs. the letter of the law. I would only share a password if the person wanted to view the movie with the intention of buying it or renting it, since there would be potential benefit for the copyright holder."  We're collecting more.
