"Mother of God."Expecting 1987's "Robocop?" Well guess again, muchachos. We're hitting the highway with the comedy cult classic from 2002, Broken Lizard's "Super Troopers."A deeply nostalgic cut from Justin's teenage years that surprisingly (but also not so surprisingly) did not hit the mark with Joe. Call it differing tastes, or simply chalk it up to a movie comedy that's nearing 20 years old showing its age. Irregardless, this movie still slaps and hits for the most part, with its deceivingly straightforward plot, but heavily peppered in with some classic early-2000's raunch and physical comedy.Following up our Crime Corner July, faux law enforcement mini series will be the 2000 action comedy starring Uncultured Universe fav Sandra Bullock, "Miss Congeniality!"--We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where two friends show each other movies, tv, music, or anything else to get a little more cultured.

Kevin James tells old, tired jokes to a room full of people that are affraid of the future.What did we think of it?⭐STARRING ⭐Kevin James

Last time we spoke about the invasion of the Admiralty Islands and some action on New Britain and Bougainville. The last steps of operation Cartwheel would see the Bismarck-Solomon area sealed off with the capture of the admiralty islands. MacArthur was yet again trying to seize the initiative and force a drive upon the Philippines. A diversionary landing was made against Momote and Los Negros would cost 116 lives, 434 wounded by March 8th. On New Britain, General Rupertus began new amphibious assaults and other actions to cut off the retreat for the Japanese defenders. Then on Bougainville, under immense pressure from his superiors, General Hyakutake prepared to launch his main counterattack, codenamed Operation TA. He assembled 15,000 men who would hit the American defensive perimeter to dislodge the enemy from the island. Was this idea even feasible, or would it all end in a terrific disaster?

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  The war was not going well for the Japanese in 1944. They were on the cusp of being dislodged from the south pacific. Rabaul and Truk were effectively neutralized and the Americans were making enormous strides in the central pacific, seen in the Gilberts and Marshall campaigns. Even in Burma, a war front the Japanese had basically been winning every battle flawlessly, was now suffering defeats. The first defeats were found in the Hukawng Valley and Arakan region. In the face of these terrible defeats, the Japanese General Mutaguchi argued he had the answer.  Mutaguchi, a victor over the Singapore campaign, had wargamed the possibility of invading India and won support of some of his superiors in Tokyo. His reasoning had been to brush past the British in Assam, to storm the gateway into the subcontinent, where hopefully the Indians would rise up to greet the Japanese as liberators. With Subhas Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army, the Japanese could rally the Indians to turn against the British. The collapse of India would be a killing blow against Britain's influence in Asia. Initially it was also believed, such a move would allow the Japanese to link up with the Axis forces in Persia. Such fantastical ideas were farfetched even for 1942 standards, but in 1944 these were laughable. Stalingrad and Kursk had effectively turned the Eastern Front completely around, the Germans were fighting for their survival. Yet this all did not dissuade Mutaguchi.  Lt General Hanaya Tadashi was placed in charge of the Arakan region. Hanaya was tasked with deceiving the British into believing the counter attack in Arakan was an attempt to invade India, thus dragging units out of Imphal. The Operation was codenamed HA-GO, an intended feint, to mask another operation, U-GO to invade Imphal. To pull it off the assault in Arakan was made to be massive. Slim was forced to meet the enemy fiercely in Arakan, he had no choice but to pull his reserves out of Imphal. The Japanese were delivered a nasty surprise with the Admin Box tactic. For over 18 days the battle raged around the Admin Box, but the Japanese could not make a dent. The Japanese forces had expected once the British saw their lines of communications cut and were outflanked they would panic and flee. It was after all what had been occurring for years in Burma. The Japanese hoped to annihilate the 15th corp, but instead the British dug their heels in. Once again victory disease sprang its head force, the arrogant and overly confident Japanese, bit off more than they could chew. It was as if they were facing a brand new opponent. The Admin Box was hit by infantry and aerial attacks, the casualties were terrific, but the Admin Box never wavered. The Japanese had planned for a lighting battle, traveling light and seizing supplies on the go, but the British did not roll over. The Japanese began to run out of supplies, starvation loomed over the invaders. Casualties on both sides increased sharply, and Slim predicted the Japanese would not allow for defeat and instead would redouble their efforts. By February 13th, Slim was confident victory was in their hands as the 26th Indian division began to arrive to deliver a hammer blow with the Admin Box as the anvil. The Japanese fought desperately, but by the 24th they were withdrawing leaving 5000 dead. After defeating the Japanese Slim unleashed his own operation into the Arakan and while doing so his men captured some Japanese documents showcasing operation HA-GO in full. Slim now knew the Japanese were feinting him to draw resources away from Imphal Now Mutaguchi had sold Operation U-GO to his superiors in Tokyo as a pre-emptive strike to disable 14th Army, but in reality it was always to invade India. He also wanted to press the attack farther and take Dimapur, a major supply base through which ran the railway line to Ledo. Taking Dimapur would deal a major blow to the Allies and could potentially open the door to further operations deeper into India. Once they had broken through, the INA would rally local support, enabling them to extend the fight to the British in Assam, Bengal and beyond. For his Operation U-Go, Mutaguchi thought he could outsmart the British in terms of how he would approach Imphal. His plan called for the 33rd Division of Lt General Yanagida Motoso to begin an advance on March 8th attacking from the south. It was presumed the British would expect this and rush reinforcement when attacked. Meanwhile he planned to send the 15th division under Lt General Yamauchi Masafumi a week later to ford the Chindwin River and advance on Imphal from the north. Even further north the entire 31st division of Lt General Sato Kotoku would also ford the Chindwin between Homalin and Tamanthi, advancing northwest to block the main British supply route in the hills at Kohima.  To pull all of this off, Mutaguchi needed to ensure his forces captured Imphal before the monsoon rains made the jungle tracks impassable. He did not have much in terms of supplies to give to his 3 divisions. By 1943, the supply route into Rangoon by sea through the Bay of Bengal had become too dangerous because of attacks by Allied submarines, so the supplies had to rely on the railway being constructed by forced labor and POWs from Thailand. Mutaguchi was well aware of these issues. He knew, however, from personal experience in Malaya and Singapore, that taking logistical risks against the British could bring great rewards. This was because the British, who were usually immeasurably better supplied than the Japanese, frequently left behind large quantities of what the latter referred to as Chachiru kyuyo 'Churchill Rations' in their haste to flee the advancing Japanese. Accordingly, the capture of British supply dumps around Imphal formed a key assumption in his planning. The essence of Mutaguchi's plan was speed - totsusbin ‘swift onslaught' - for if these vast depots were not seized as a matter of priority, the whole offensive would literally run out of fuel. He thought it would take no more than three weeks for his forces to fall on the British supply dumps. Without the capture of these supplies success could not be guaranteed, but it seemed increasingly inconceivable to Mutaguchi that a decisive, overwhelming attack against Imphal would not bring with it rapid and substantial rewards. At no time was he concerned that he might not capture the vast British depots needed to fuel his advance. Imphal needed to be taken by April 10th or it would all be a disaster General Slim planned for his 14th Army to make a stand at Imphal, taking the hit on the chin as they say, before pushing the enemy back. He needed to draw the Japanese in the Imphal Valley, in a tight circle so he could launch an effective counteroffensive. Lt General Geoffrey Scoones 4th corps would deploy the 20th Indian division led by Major General Douglas Gracey around Tamu and the 17th Indian Light Division of Major General David Punch Cowan around Tiddim. Both divisions had been aggressively carrying out patrols in the valley and along the banks of the Chindwin River. The 23rd Indian Division of Major General Ouvry Roberts was held in reserve at Imphal, with his 49th brigade in the Ukhrul area to the northeast.  Once Mutaguchi's offensive kicked off, Slim planned for his two southern divisions to withdraw up the Tamu-Palel and Tiddim roads to go on the defensive around the Imphal Valley. The two divisions would have a short and more secure line of communications and supply behind them as they forced the Japanese to extend them self over the mountains. To counter losing the overland supply line from Kohima, Slim planned to use air supply to maintain his men during the long siege. Slim also expected Mutaguchi to send a single regiment to seize the defenseless Kohima, not an entire division that was further tasked with pouring down into the Brahmaputra valley. That last part would put his entire plan in jeopardy. On March 8th, Operation U-Go was kicked off with Lt General Yanagida Motoso's 33rd division beginning their advance in 4 columns. The left column was the 215th regiment led by Colonel Sasahara Masahiko who advanced south of Tiddim before swinging north towards the village of Singgel. They would come across the large supply deport between the milestones 109 and 110 around the Tiddim road. The central column consisted of the 214th regiment led by Colonel Sakuma Takayoshi, advancing up the Kabaw Valley to assault Tonzang. Following this column up was the Fort White Garrison unit led by Colonel Yagi Shigeru. Both columns would cut off the route of withdrawal of Major General David Cowan's 17th division and annihilate it. Lastly the right column consisting of the Yamamoto Force led by Major General Yamamoto Tsunoru. They would be advancing north up the Kabaw valley to assault Major General Douglas Gracey's 20th Division on the Tamu-Palel Road. There had been early reports from scouts that groups of Japanese soldiers were advancing west of the Tiddim road. This only sounded off the alarm bells for the 14th corps on March 12th, after a verified sighting report was made stating a large group of Japanese were just a few kilometers off the road at Milestone 109.  Consequently, Scoones ordered Cowan to withdraw, so the 17th would begin to move from Tiddim on March 14, after laying mines and booby traps. But it was too late, as the Japanese had already cut the Tiddim Road earlier that morning, so Cowan would have to fight its way out to Imphal. That day, Yamamoto Force had also started attacking Gracey's southern front-line positions, with a particular tank-on-tank battle developing between a troop of M3 Lee/Grant tanks of the 3rd Carabiniers and some six light tanks of the 14th Tank Regiment. The latter were trounced in the end, with four tanks destroyed and two captured. Meanwhile on the 15th, Lt General Yamauchi Masafumi's 15th division began fording the Chindwin river at Thaungdut and Sittaung and would descend upon Imphal from the north. Lt General Sato Kotoku's 31st division also forded the river further north at Homalin, Kawya nad Tamanthi and were rapidly advancing towards Kohima and Ukhrul.  Just as Mutaguchi had guessed, Scoones ordered his 37th and 49th brigades to advance to the Tiddim road to help Cowan's men. Cowan had sent his 63rd indian brigade to attack the 214th regiment at Tonang and Tiutum. Thai left Imphal and Ukhrul with little protection, so Scoones decided to dispatch the newly arrived 50th indian parachute brigade of Brigadier Maxwell Hope-Thomson to defend Ukhrul, but he did not expect them to find a real fight. Ukhrul would only have the lightest of garrisons and no real defenses. Forces in the area comprised two battalions of the newly raised and part-trained 50th Indian Parachute Brigade whose young and professional commander, 31-year-old Brigadier Maxwell 'Tim' Hope-Thomson had persuaded the powers that be in New Delhi to allow him to complete the training of his brigade in territory close to the enemy. At the start of March the brigade HQ and one battalion had arrived in Imphal, and began the leisurely process of shaking itself out in the safety of the hills north-east of the town. To the brigade was added the 4/5th Mahrattas under Lieutenant-Colonel Trim. Sent into the jungle almost to fend for themselves, it was not expected that they would have to fight, let alone be on the receiving end of an entire Japanese divisional attack. They had little equipment, no barbed wire and little or no experience or knowledge of the territory. On March 16th, Scoones ordered Gracey to withdraw, so the 20th Division could begin a controlled withdrawal up the Tamu-Palel Road, gradually moving into three defensive boxes.  The first was to be at Moreh, held by the 32nd Indian Brigade; the second in the Khongkhang–Sibong area, held by the 80th Indian Brigade; and the third was to be on the Shenam Saddle, held by the 100th Indian Brigade. Luckily for the allies, Yamamoto had dispatch two of his battalions in a useless wide flanking maneuver towards Mombi and the Tamu-Palel road. Thus Yamamoto would lack sufficient troops to launch a full attack against the retreating allied forces. Meanwhile Hawker Hurricanes and heavy artillery bombarded as the 63rd launched a direct assault against Tuitum saddle, managing to break through to the Manipur River, leaving a rearguard at the bridge. During the following days, the rearguard would repel a series of intense assaults upon the saddle by the 214th regiment and Yanagida's Fort White column. At the same time the 37th brigade was fighting against the bulk of the 215th regiment around milestone 100. The fighting became very confused as the Japanese units became sandwiched between the allied units who in turn were surrounded by other Japanese units. On March 18th, the 3rd battalion ,215th regiment managed to capture the supply depot between Milestones 109 and 110 facing minor resistance. Then they were forced to repel a number of counter attacks by the 48th Indian brigade. On the 19th, Hope-Thomson received some panicked reports that his battalions were seeing heavy columns of Japanese advancing on their undefended camp at Sheldon's Corner. It was the 31st infantry of Major General Miyazaki Shigesaburo from the 58th regiment. Hope-Thomson made a last minute call to assemble his dispersed forces at the deserted Naga Village of Sangshak. His brigade, when concentrated, consisted of 1850 men. However, as the troops dug in they discovered to their discomfort that they were atop an ancient volcano, and the rock was impervious to their picks. All they could dig were shallow trenches, which provided ineffective protection from Japanese artillery. Like all Naga villages that at Sangshak was perched on a hill, and had no water; anything the men required had to be brought up from the valley floor, through the rapidly tightening Japanese encirclement. Its unknown why Miyazaki diverted his men to hit Sangshak rather than continue towards Kohima. By nightfall of the 22nd, the Japanese infantry overwhelmed Indian defenses without performed a detailed reconnaissance and lacking artillery support. This would prove to be a fatal mistake. 400 Gurkhas of the 153rd parachute battalion began mowing down wave after wave of Japanese troops using machine gun fire. The Japanese 8th Company of 58th lost 90 out of 120 men in the space of just 15 minutes. Suffering tremendous casualties, seeing entire companies decimated, Miyazaki decided to regroup and began tossing numerous frantic efforts to break up the defenders positions.Under heavy mountain artillery fire and unable to be supplied by air, Hope-Thomson's troops grimly held a position that was not even ringed by barbed wire until March 26, when they finally received Scoones' order to pull out.  The Parachute brigade was being virtually destroyed in four battles at Sangshak, suffering 652 casualties. Yet in turn Miyazaki was served nearly 1000 casualties and his advance upon Kohima was held up for a week, severely delaying Sato's plans. Further to the south, Yamauchi's 60th regiment was also facing stubborn defenses at Sangshak. They actually had been waiting for the battle of Sangshak to conclude and only jumped in on the last day's assault. This prevented one of Yamauchi's columns from arriving in time north of Imphal, giving Scoones and Slim an extra few days to prepare Imphal's defenses. Meanwhile on March 23rd, the 48th brigade used their heavy guns and mortars to hit the Japanese positions and managed to force the 215th regiment to pull away from the valuable supply depot. To secure the depot however, they still needed to clear the road from the north. Gurkha's were sent in waves against the strongly defended Japanese bunkers, while the 37th brigade and Hawker Hurricanes hit the main defensive positions of the 215th regiment. At this point, General Yanagida, who had always felt that Allied capabilities were being underestimated, determined that his forces would not be able to hold on much longer and thus ordered them to pull back. Yanagida had received a signal from Colonel Sasahara about the critical situation his regiment was in. Sasahara, in turn, had been reacting to a signal from one of his battalion commanders, Major Sueki. Faced with rapidly depleting ammunition, mounting casualties and attacks on his position near Milestone 109, Sueki had signaled that he would not be able to hold on much longer. He indicated that he would destroy his codes and radio and fight to the end. Sasahara is said to have communicated this and the regiment's resolve to fight to the end to Yanagida. There is some mystery around this signal, some accounts suggesting the division commander received only the latter half of the message. Either way, Yanagida had had enough. All his reservations about the Imphal offensive came to the fore. He ordered the 215th Regiment to pull out and sent a signal to Mutaguchi about his decision. In this he noted the strength of their opponent, questioned the rationale of the operation and remarked on the impossibility of meeting the deadline. He is supposed to have gone so far as to suggest the suspension of the Imphal offensive. This all greatly pissed off Mutaguchi whose divisional commanders for the majority disagreed with his U-GO plan, and Motoso Yanagida openly derided him as an "imbecile". Irregardless, Mutaguchi sought to remove Yanagida from his command. Their relationship would not improve as more setbacks were on the way. With the Japanese dislodged, the 37th Brigade managed to reopen the Tiddim Road and the 48th Brigade finally secured the entire depot area around Milestone 109. Whatever supplies that could be recovered and transported back to Imphal were grabbed, while as many as possible that could be of potential value to the Japanese were destroyed. On the 26th, the 63rd Brigade's rearguard also withdrew, blowing up the Manipur River bridge behind them. Two days later, the 37th made first contact with Cowan's units near Milestone 102 and the 17th Division finally began their retreat towards Imphal. Their only obstacle would be a roadblock established by the 2nd Battalion, 213th Regiment around Khuadam. But that would be cleared out quite easily by Cowan's men who were able to reach Imphal by April 4th. In the meantime, Scoones had asked Gracey to send back one of his 100th indian brigade into the reserve on the 25th, leaving him with only two brigades to fend off the Japanese attacks. The next day, the 11th company, 213th regiment of the Yamamoto Force managed to advance past the main defenses at Moreh, defended by the 32nd indian brigade and captured Nippon Hill. Though they were not under heavy enemy pressure, the 32nd Indian Brigade finally withdrew from Moreh on April 1. It had set the dump on fire; by some estimates at least a million pounds' worth of supplies that had not yet been evacuated were destroyed. They arrived at the Shenam Saddle a few days later to join the 80th Indian Brigade in a fierce battle for Nippon Hill. Meanwhile, Slim had foreseen that reinforcements would be needed at Imphal and Kohima and had already requested them with great urgency.  Slim was granted  30 Dakotas to fly the 5th Division from Arakan back on the 18th. By the 27th, the 9th and 123rd Indian Brigades had arrived at Imphal and the 161st Indian Brigade was being flown to Dimapur to reinforce Kohima. In addition, Slim was promised the 2nd British Division and the 23rd Long Range Penetration Brigade, should it be necessary. General Giffard also decided that once the airlift of the 5th Division was complete, the 7th Division would then be airlifted to Manipur. Yet that is all for the India-Burma front as we need to move over to New Britain. On March 5th, Colonel Smith's 5th marines began loading for an overnight run to the Willaumez Peninsula, departing Iboki by nightfall. The following morning the small convoy assembled off Volupai, waiting for air support to soften up their landing area, but they never showed up. Apparently having reason to believe that the Marines would attempt to land at Beach Red, the defenders constructed an intricate communications net between Talasea and Volupai, placed some mines on the beach, constructed defenses of a sort, sighted in 90mm mortars–and then inexplicably did not attempt to defend the beach as they could have done very well under the circumstances. Realizing the longer they waited the better the enemy could prepare, Smith ordered the first assault wave to hit the beaches at 8:25. LCM-tank gunboats raked the beach with machine-gun fire, as Smith's 1st Battalion successfully landed meeting enemy sniper and mortar fire. Some sniper fire was observed and 90mm mortar shells began splashing in the water, but Companies A and B drove on shoreward and within 10 minutes after crossing the line of departure about 500 Marines had landed. The two assault companies then pushed forward to establish a beachhead line through which the 2nd Battalion could pass and continue the attack in the direction of Bitokara Mission. Company A accomplished this with relatively little difficulty on the right, but on the left there existed a virtually impassable swamp, running north and south and extending to the edge of the Volupai track. As a result, Company B had to pass through a slot between Little Mt. Worri and the swamp in order to accomplish its mission, encountering and eliminating an enemy pocket of resistance before establishing its lines 200 yards inland. Meanwhile the reinforced platoon patrol that had gone after the bunker on Little Mt. Worri had run into difficulty. The retreating enemy joined other of their fellows and hastily manned defensive positions which had been prepared in the Volupai coconut grove. The platoon accounted for about a dozen of the Emperor's troops, losing one Marine killed and another wounded in the process. Finding he could not advance against the Japanese all-around defensive positions, the patrol leader requested assistance but was instructed to hold what he had until the 2nd Battalion arrived on the scene. As the advancing elements pushed their way through the coconut trees, rear echelon personnel on Beach Red suffered heavier casualties than the assault units. All during the day the Japanese lobbed 90mm mortar shells onto the beach, shells landing capriciously and inevitably taking their toll in the crowded, constricted area. Among the early victims was Lieutenant Commander Richard M. Forsythe, regimental surgeon, who continued working with the wounded until he was evacuated. The heaviest casualties that day were recorded in the 11th Marines and among medical company personnel. Both groups had to remain on the beach, there being no other place to go. On top of that, coral reefs were delaying the LCM's from fully landing the 3nd battalion until the early afternoon. Once Company E came ashore, the advance guard rapidly moved forward and began moving through the 1st Battalion's lines astride the Volupai Plantation track at 11:00.  The Marines were brought to an abrupt halt 200 yards farther on where the Japanese had dug positions commanding the narrow trail. As Company E attempted to attack outside the plantation track, a medium tank commanded by Lieutenant John M. Scarborough moved up the trail to the company's assistance and knocked out a heavy machine-gun position. But suddenly two Japanese, one on each side of the trail and each armed with a magnetic mine, leaped out of the brush. The defending Marine infantry killed one before he could reach the tank, but the other succeeded in affixing the mine to the port side of the turret. The blast that followed killed the Japanese and the Marine who was trying to stop him, as well as jamming the turret so that it could not be operated and stunning the tank crew within. Simultaneously the rear of the turret was pierced by a missile, presumably an anti-tank grenade, which made a hole about three quarters of an inch in diameter. Supported by two more tanks and mortars, Company E finally began moving towards the coconut grove with increasing momentum during the afternoon, at the same time capturing a detailed map of Japanese positions in the Talasea-Bitokara-Waru area. As night approached, elements of the 2nd Battalion set up an all-around defense within the coconut grove while the 1st Battalion manned the beachhead. By the end of the first day, the Marines had penetrated approximately 2000 yards inland from the beach and killed 35 Japanese while suffering 13 killed and 71 wounded, most of them to the deadly mortar fire.  More than half of these were incurred on the beach, and the figures for the day represented more than half the total casualties the combat team would suffer between March 6th and its departure on April 25th. 9 of the fatalities and 29 of the wounded were in the 11th Marines alone.  At 2:00am on March 7th, a handful of Japanese attempted to infiltrate the lines of Company E, but the attack was so easily repelled that Smith considered that this wasn't even a counterattack. Actually, realizing that his forces were heavily outnumbered, General Sakai had ordered the defenders to leave a rearguard of about 100 men and withdraw at once towards Bola. During the morning, the 2nd Battalion advanced through the abandoned enemy positions without facing any opposition until they were stopped on Mt. Schleuther's northwest slope at 11:45. It became evident that the Japanese were attempting to turn the battalion's right flank. Luckily, Company F rushed forward and managed to extend the threatened flank and seize the high ground. At 3:00pm, the reserve 3rd Battalion was also landed at Volupai, thus relieving the 1st Battalion at the beachhead. The next morning, after a mortar barrage, the 2nd battalion soon discovered the Japanese had retreated past Bitokara. The Marines quickly captured Bitokara by 1:40pm. The Marines then dispatched scouts towards Mt. Schleuther and Talasea. The Mt. Schleuther scouting group reported that the Japanese were well dug in on a nearby peak, and at 3:00 a task force consisting of Company E and reinforcing elements began the ascent. A request for artillery fire on Scheuther brought several rounds dangerously close to the 2nd battalion, 5th Marines CP, and the battalion's 81mm mortars promptly took over the support missions. As the task force approached the enemy positions, however, it ran into concentrated fire from machine-guns and small arms, backed up by a 90mm mortar and a 75mm field piece. The Marines fought back for an hour and sustained 18 casualties before they were ordered withdrawn to the mission. The second scouting party had returned from Talasea, meanwhile, to report no indications of the enemy.    As no enemy presence was found on the latter, Company F advanced to the airdrome and in less than an hour reported it secured. Meanwhile the 1st Battalion advanced to Liapo and then began to push over rough terrain towards Waru, finally digging in for the night just a bit short of its objective. After some artillery and mortar dueling during the night, Companies G, B and C launched a coordinated assault at 8:00am on the 9th. Once again, they found abandoned positions, successfully clearing the Waru area by 1:00pm. Also a patrol was landed on Garua Island at 11:47, reporting it deserted as well.  By the afternoon, Smith moved his command post to Bitokara and informed the division that Talasea was secure and that his forces would now concentrate on mopping up and patrolling the Willaumez Peninsula. The 4 day campaign had cost the Marines 17 killed and 114 wounded, while estimating they had killed 150 Japanese. But now we need to jump over to Bougainville. The Japanese had begun earlier in the year to improve some trails, particularly the net leading from the Mosigetta-Mawaraka area. A rough road had been completed through the jungle to the jump-off positions for the infantry. Nevertheless, the movement of over fifteen thousand troops with all their equipment proved to be a major task that would have dampened the spirits of all but the most ardent warriors. Artillery units had a particularly difficult time pulling their heavy guns through the jungle to get them into position to support the attack. Their task was made even more difficult by the daily downpour that flooded the streams, washing away many of the makeshift bridges and making some trails veritable seas of mud. American intelligence by mid-February was aware of the large-scale movement toward the perimeter and Allied planes repeatedly attacked the trails. Despite all these difficulties, the Japanese soldiers displaying their tenacity and ability to overcome the most difficult obstacles, brought up the supplies and eventually had all the guns in place for the attack. All of this was done to support a major counteroffensive scheduled to begin on March 8th. On the 7th, the Iwasa unit has assembled behind Hill 1111; the Magata Unit behind Mount Nampei; the Muda Unit at Peko village on the East-West Trail, and the 17th Army Artillery Group, commanded by Colonel Saito Harumasa in place near Hill 600. Facing them, were the men of the 37th and Americal Divisions, who were on full alert in their foxholes and bunkers, waiting for the great Japanese counterattack. On the 8th General Hyakutake's counterattack began with a heavy albeit uncoordinated artillery bombardment. The Japanese artillery concentrated its fire on Piva Yoke instead of the forward areas of the perimeter, which would be the main initial point of attack. The artillery fire was delivered spasmodically and with poor coordination despite the high vantage points from which the Japanese surveyed the central segment of the American positions. The Japanese artillery did little damage. American corps and division artillery countered immediately, the 37th Division guns firing on the suspected hills to the northeast and the Americal howitzers concentrating on those to the east. The 6th Field Artillery Battalion and the 129th Infantry's cannon company were so situated that they could fire directly at the gun flashes. All other guns were directed by forward observers or spotter planes. Destroyers in Empress Augusta Bay also fired counterbattery missions. By midmorning marine dive and torpedo bombers were flying neutralization missions against Hills 250 and 600. Then in the afternoon 56 SBDs and 36 TBFs, guided by artillery smokeshells, struck the main concentrations on and around hill 1111. This all massively delayed the Japanese main assault. Only the 23rd Regiment would manage to assemble in place for the attack on Hill 700 by nightfall. Under drenching rainfall, the Japanese thus attacked the hill with some companies, yet their first assault was easily repelled by the experienced defenders.  At 2:30General Iwasa launched his main assault, sending his 2nd and 3rd battalions, 23rd division against the saddle. Despite the heavy fire from the 145th Regiment, the Japanese stormed the hill en masse, screaming and screaming threats in English and even singing American songs, presumably in attempts to unnerve the defenders of the hill. According to the historian of the 145th  "The enemy stormed the hill, clawing his way up the steep slope, yelling like a maniac, suicidally putting everything he had into a frontal attack designed to take the highest point on the hill. ... The 145th Infantry, defending the ridge, were somewhat taken aback by an enemy so unreasoning as to crawl up the 70-degree slope on all fours, rifles slung over their backs." Suffering severe losses, Iwasa's 2nd Battalion managed to blast their way through the protective wire and knock out one of the pillboxes. Through this gap, the Japanese moved onto the saddle and began to attack adjacent strongpoints, securing a penetration of the 145th's line 70 yards wide and 50 yards deep. Behind them, however, an effective artillery response would break up the attack of Iwasa's 3rd Battalion; yet the 2nd Battalion would continue to expand this perimeter until, by 12:00, they had captured seven pillboxes and had brought up machine-guns and mortars with which they could put McClelland Road, the only lateral supply road for the 145th, under direct fire. Supply of the forward troops became very difficult, since the three-quarter-ton trucks and half-tracks could not use the road. All supplies had to be hand carried. Evacuation of the wounded also became difficult and dangerous. Japanese machine guns on the crest of the hill were able to cover the ridge with accurate and deadly grazing fire. They had placed other machine guns in trees on the spur of the hill about a hundred yards to the rear of the ground-emplaced weapons, which could sweep the entire front. With the exception of a few scattered trees and shallow trenches, there was little cover for troops of the 145th who moved up the steep slopes attempting to retake the lost positions. All during the day the Japanese were also extending the trenches repairing the old pillboxes, and building new ones. In response to this breakthrough, General Beightler sent the 1st Battalion, 145th Regiment to counterattack. By noon, the Americans were attacking the newly-gained Japanese positions, successfully retaking five of the lost pillboxes against heavy fire and establishing a new line just south of the crest by nightfall. The first attempt to recapture Hill 700 was launched at noon on the 9th. Company C moved northward against the saddle in a direct frontal assault while two platoons of Company F attacked the saddle from the flanks. Company C was halted by devastating fire two-thirds of the way to its objective, and the men were forced to dig in and hold what they had gained. Meanwhile the riflemen of Company F had retaken five of the lost pillboxes, and the line, now reinforced, was solidly established by nightfall just south of the crest. Beightler had ordered two tanks forward late in the afternoon to take enemy targets under direct fire, particularly those that menaced McClelland Road, but the terrain proved too steep for them to be used effectively. Thankfully, Iwasa's breakthrough had been contained, with the 145th losing 23 killed and 128 wounded against an estimated 500 enemy dead.  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Meanwhile things were heating up on Bougainville as Iwasa continued his grand offensive. 

Rom. 16:10b-11 Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. I am presently coming to the end of a three week ministry trip in South Africa. I love this nation and these people. Just saying. I also feel like they love me as well. God has and is doing wonderful things in His people here. During my week in Jeffrey's Bay, I had the privilege of building relationships with several house church groups which meet in homes on a weekly basis. As I'm writing, I can see their smiling faces and remember the encouragement we enjoy as we fellowship together in the Lord. I am aware of Jesus' love for them when I'm with them, and I'm also blessed by the love of Christ I experience from them. When I read Paul's greeting to the households of Aristobulus and Narcissus, I can relate to his experience. Paul may have had in mind all of the family and servants of each of these men or he could have in mind a certain group of believers who regularly met in their homes like I envision in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. Irregardless of which is true, it is clear that the love of Jesus flowed between Paul and these two men and those who were connected to their homes. When we love with Jesus, we may expect to form love connections with families and groups of brothers and sisters who love Jesus. This is certainly true if you do much traveling and sharing with believers in various locations like I do. I hope you have fellowship with other believers within the context of the home where the love of Jesus flows freely and consistently. Everyone benefits from such fellowship in the Lord. It's vital to growing in love and living to love with Jesus.

Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Joined here today by some really exciting guests to talk about the movie the blind side. So before we get started, I'm going to quickly introduce who they are and then we will get into the movie. So we have Zarell Stallings and Karan Webb, who are the co founders of the association of the Black Sports Officials. The ABSO was conceived in 2016 following an incident of unfair practices of evaluation and elevation of black officials on an officiating board in Connecticut. Abso was able to advocate on behalf of black individuals and successfully shift improving the equality among black officials and played an intricate role in rewriting the bylaws and policies for said board, co founder of association of Black Sports Officials. Raised in New Jersey, Coran now resides in Connecticut. He is a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University and University of Connecticut and has worked in social work and media literacy fields. Koran has been able to be involved with sports in some capacity for most of his life. He's been officiating sports for over 20 years. Quran has officiated in the past for Central Connecticut association of Football officials and Basketball for Central Connecticut Iaabo board six in January 2018, Abso was formed. Abso's goal is to bring equality for all black officials across all sports on all levels throughout the country. Abso is designed not only to be a voice of advocacy for black officials by providing support and resources, but to educate and train all officials, athletes, administrations, leagues, et cetera, on and off athletic fields. Through these efforts, not only will black officials be better off, but the community and entire sports landscape will be better off as well. So if you can, can you share where our listeners can find you, like on a website or social media? Qur-an Webb: Sure, no problem. But first, before we do that, I would just want to make sure Zarell is able to introduce himself and his background or what have you. For some reason, I'm not sure why that wasn't stated, but it's all good. So we can hear him out. Zerrell Stallings : Yeah, it's all good. I'm Zarrell Stallings. I'm a football official. Been a football official for the last twelve years. High school football official. I'm a business owner here in the greater Hartford community, Greater Hartford area. Other than that, co founder of Abso, me and Karan also run another agency that provides officials for youth sports, and that's independent sports officials alliance. So those are the kind of things that myself and Karan are into. And that's it. That's me. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Cool. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Well, it's nice to have you both join us today. Thank you so much for making the time, and we're really excited to hear your point of view on this movie. Qur-an Webb: Thank you. Zerrell Stallings : No problem. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So a little bit about the blind side. Just the movie came out in 2009. It got a lot of buzz. Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for her role as Michael Orr's mom, Leanne Chewy, and it was based on the book by the same name by Michael Lewis. Michael Orr was played by Quentin Aaron in know this. This movie was pretty popular. And what was worth noting is that the Tui family appeared to be kind of at all of the events, right? So they were at the Oscars, they were at the premiere, and now looking back, Michael Orr wasn't so he didn't come to those events. And I think that that probably speaks volumes about his feelings on the movie then. And obviously, he's been more vocal lately. But where do you want to get started? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Think. You know, the thing that jumps out about this movie to me, and one reason we've been wanting to cover it, is just its depiction of this sort of concept we call white saviorism, where this movie really depicts this white, wealthy family plucking up this black boy and saving him and sort of changing the course of his life, changing the course of their lives. And in rewatching it in preparation for this episode, I was really struck by how many really awful racial stereotypes it pushed. And I found myself wondering what is actually true about his background, about Michael or's background. You know, like right away we. Who's the little boy who's playing Michael in a car with his friend's dad, who he's been staying with. And we see them drive from his part of town, which you come to find is like the bad part of town, where there's a lot of people of color, things look run down. And you see him drive into the nice part of town where he's going to go to this private christian school and eventually gets what we were told was adopted by the Tui family. And so right away, even just that, like, the drive, I feel like, is already pushing some really negative stereotypes. They say that his iq is only 80, his GPA is 0.6. They just portray him as this kind of dumb, reserved, almost socially inept person. And right away we see the admissions staff again, who's all white. All white men say, you don't admit Michael Orr because of sports. You admit him because it's the right thing to do. But really the undercurrent is they saw he was really good at sports and kind of that's why they wanted him there. We also hear about how his mother, they call her a crack addict a lot in the movie. They just use really harmful language and say he was forcibly removed from her care. We see him go back to his neighborhood and just the things that are depicted, I think, are pretty harmful. And it know in know, the recent HBO documentary. And reading more about what Michael or has been saying in the present day, we come to find out, like, a lot of that wasn't true and that, I don't know, I guess that's where I want to start. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Do you guys have any comments on that? Zerrell Stallings : Well, I would say I reviewed the movie again, too, because it was a while, but yeah, I could definitely understand your pov. I definitely thought that throughout the movie, the white savior coming down, even her friends, even to the point where her friends were mocking her and things of that nature, I think that's a good place to start because that's probably the most honest place to start is right there. So I don't know. You guys want to weigh in on that? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I mean, I think that the more recent documentary, I think it came out this year on HBO or Max spoke a lot with his friends and family from kind of growing up. They spoke with the man who was kind of housing him and that he did have a bedroom like him and. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: He did have a bedroom. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Man's son were really close friends, and it was not a bad place. They spoke to his social aptitude and how he was really well liked and really an extrovert socially. He had a ton of friends. Everyone loved him and how he was very intelligent, which I thought was interesting. Then when they also spoke about his football, memorized, you know, as an NFL player, I would imagine, but he memorizes all the plays. Like, he's very intelligent, both academically and then as an athlete. So I thought that for him, and I guess he had spoke on it at least once, that for him was really the most harmful part was the depiction of his intelligence and how low it was in the movie. Yeah. Qur-an Webb: And I just add to that, I think just to sesationalize what the media does when we're talking about films, television news coverage, just in general here and to that point, there portion in regards to the difference into who he actually was intellectually versus what they portrayed him to be. Know, I would feel some kind of way as well, too, in regards to insult my intelligence, belittling me, et cetera, et cetera. In regards to all of that, I know just with the media just as a whole here, and again, I know ultimately the bottom line is to sell a movie and get people to go and purchase tickets, et cetera, et cetera here. But it's a rough field in regards to just really ultimately not caring about actually the human side of it. I know yourself and Katrina here, just being in this field of the people business here, we know that human side is very important here. And I think that wasn't know as far as some of the things they portrayed him to be. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. So just to clarify for if anyone's listening who hasn't seen the newer documentary on HBO, I highly encourage you to watch it. I think it's only like an hour long or so. Interestingly, Michael Orr also wasn't involved in that. But I think it's because there's some ongoing litigation, it's said at the end of it, but basically some of the big things that were totally incorrect. Again, his intelligence level, his social. You know, we see Leanne and the Tui family rescue him from the rain, where he has nowhere to go, he has nowhere to stay. Right. That's one of the pivotal scenes in the movie. It turns out that's not true. He was staying with his friend's family and with his friend's dad, and he could continue staying there. They didn't kick him out. They didn't ask him to leave. It sounds like they really cared about him. They were taking care of him. And it sounds like what actually happened, from their point of view, as they say in the documentary, is that Mr. Tui said, hey, you know, he could come stay with us. We live closer to the school. And then somehow he ended up staying there kind of forever. But it seems like that conversation happened after people started recognizing how good he was at sports. And so that left a bad taste in my mouth. And then the other thing that happened was there's this scene where the little boy, SJ, who's played by this gregarious little kid who's, like, super adorable, right, in the movie, but you show, how old was that kid? Eight. This eight year old, basically teaching him, michael, how to be social, how to talk to people, and then basically teaches him how to play football using all those condiments, remember, with the hot sauce bottles and stuff? And everyone in the movie is like, michael knew how to play football. He didn't need someone to teach him. And again, just all of that just continues sending this message that he's not smart, doesn't know what to do, and kind of would just have been adrift and lost without this white family coming to save him. And again, all of it just left such a bad taste in my mouth, again, with just how much was sensationalized and that the things that were sensationalized just push this really icky narrative about just these icky narratives about young black boys. It just really bothered me. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And rewatching it for myself this time, I was really interested in kind of the themes of local or more local sports trafficking. So even as Mr. Tui is kind of like, oh, you could stay with us. I was know thinking in my head, and I don't know if it is clear, maybe it is, and I missed it, but was that because then he could go to that school district or I'm thinking kind of a part of what you gentlemen had talked about in a training that I attended was just know the zip code switching and kind of like living with different families in order to play at a different school. So if you could share just with our listeners what is sports trafficking? Where does it happen? I think some people would be surprised. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: At how local it is. Qur-an Webb: Sure, no problem. I mean, again, it's the harboring minors in regards, we talk about to play an athletic about the same event, but does this play some type of athletics here where individuals are being compensated and you're getting the benefits, reaping the benefits of it and sometimes internationally? It's obviously a huge thing, harboring youth from other countries over to United States here. But it's happening probably smack dead here in the United States as well too. Because when we talk about trafficking, I mean, the sports piece is a big part here, but when you get into obviously the sex and labor trafficking, it all interacts with one another here. And I think it's just in regards to, just to talk about the labor and sex trafficking, the force fraud and corrosion here. And those three words tie into the feds here when they're looking to get some type of adjudication or anything when you get into the criminal side, but it's applicable to the sports piece here, force, you're forcing individuals to leave their homeland or native land or their town that they're from here. There's been situations throughout the United States where athletes are being kept housed in housing and rents are being paid for these kids to stay in these places just to compete here. And we know it's a meal ticket for a lot of people here in regards to see him or her succeed as far as brothers in high school and moving on to college and ultimately the pros and getting that big payday. It happens more times than not as far as it's been going on there. Hopefully I answered the question. I'm not sure Zarrell wanted to add on or anything. Zerrell Stallings : Well, I was just going to say in the context of the movie, I'm going to go backwards because it was, in my mind, backwards. So when he's being interviewed by the NCAA, yeah, they were essentially asking him that, but in a more professional, I guess, manner or tone. And then going back to your original question about the high school, it wasn't that he was in the wrong district because in the movie it was a catholic school, so they were private. You can be anywhere. But what happens when you have these private catholic schools or prep schools that are highly competitive. They will go in the inner city, pluck a kid, set them up, get around all the legalities of it, or what have you. So those are your forms. They're just not presented in that way of how me and Koran, how we presented in our educational piece of sports trafficking. The essential is the same thing, and we've witnessed it here in Connecticut. We've seen cases here where it wasn't caused sports trafficking, but some coaches got in trouble and things of that nature. So I think the more that we shed light on it, the more important and the more serious the agencies of sports would take more heed to and put their foot down. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Can you speak a bit about some of the negative ramifications that can come from sports trafficking? Like, I can think of some that I could assume would come from it. But I wonder, given your experience, what you've seen in real life, I would. Qur-an Webb: Say probably first and foremost the detachment from your bio family and the family that they were removed from. Irregardless of the situation here. This is people that raised you, gave birth to you, and just your community as a whole and culture environment here being thrust into somewhere completely foreign or unknown. And sometimes it might not be a call, maybe once a week, once a month, depending on the circumstances, and not that connection, I think, with your family. I think that's one of the first things that happens here. But I think just when we're talking about minors here, we know the brain develops, they change the age all the time. Here it was 23, 25, 26. Who knows what it is now? But I know it's the last part of the 20s as far as the brain being fully developed here. So think about everything an individual goes through as far as a minor, just the disconnect from the bio family, trying to learn a whole nother culture, another language, potentially depending on where he or she is from. Those are just a couple of examples as far as some of the side effects to what happens here and being forced prior to do something you might not want to do. Some people may have a love for the sport, some may not, but they understand, quote unquote, it's a way out and to help the family here. So, I mean, those are just a couple of examples on my end, reminding. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Of the kids who don't make it. So it's like, I would say, at a minimum, maybe there's a financial incentive for them when they're not already being taken advantage by all the people who helped them. But when you don't make it, you were displaced. You didn't finish out your important developmental years where maybe would have been best for you. And now you didn't get a scholarship or now you don't have that carrot that they were kind of dangling in front of you for the idea of kind of moving you in with someone else. So I think it speaks to maybe the other forms as well of trafficking as just like minors getting lost then and people kind of then becoming unhoused and so on and so forth, just not having their support team with them. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And what that does to a child's identity and their sense of self. Right. Like if you don't get the scholarship or you don't make it to the big leagues, I think that just would really mess with your sense of self and your importance. It reminds me so much of what we saw with Britney Spears and with other child stars. It's kind of similar, but I guess the local, the international, just thinking about it from such a small scale to such a big scale, it's really heartbreaking. Qur-an Webb: Yeah, definitely not. Zara, go ahead. Zerrell Stallings : Oh, no, I was just going to say their mental health because at some point the reality is going to set in that you're just a mail ticket. Yeah, at some point it's going to set in. And how do you cope with that as a child? Because to Q's point earlier, if you're not developing until in your late 20s, mid 20s, that's going to take a toll because then you're always going to have that in your head that I'm still the guy, I'm still this. And you're going to always try to keep chasing that and chasing it. But the reality is there and, you know, it. It's just hard for them to accept it and it's terrible. Know a lot of them have been coddled and told that they were going to be the next LeBron or the next Tom Brady or whatever sports they're into. And then when they're all used up, who's there? Right. Nobody's there. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. Exactly. I think I'm making a huge assumption and generalization, but I'd imagine that as these children grow and start to realize what's actually going like, we kind of see, it seems like based, again, we're not analyzing anyone personally because we can't. Right. But it seems like based on what we're seeing in the media, Michael Orr as he's gotten older has a different perspective, at least compared to how they depict his perspective in the movie, which again, may be totally false. But yeah, once you start to realize what's going on. You probably don't have the support system around you to really process that. It actually probably goes against what the people around you want you to be doing to see what's actually happening, right? They're not going to be like, oh, yeah, let's go to therapy and we can talk about how I've been exploiting you and using you and I'll still give you a place to live, right? Qur-an Webb: Absolutely. And I think, too, those who are in these situations, male, female here, there's a small, small percentage that able to make the connection like, okay, this might not pan out for me, but I'm going to use this and take every advantage of it possible here in regards to make it work for me here. As far as educationally and resources and supports and learn who's around me. I know there's a small percentage. And the education problem needs to be out there in regards to just everyone in general. Like, hey, the clock. And I use it metaphorically, know the clock's going to hit all zeros here, whether it's high school, college, or the pros here, and just taking everything along the way, what you can use in regards to what you've learned to better yourself in life. And we think about Michael Ord. He reached the highest of highs here as far as you want to talk about the perception, whether NFL, big contracts, everything here. But still, this still lingers with him. And as far as the whole situation, whether it's the movie or how he's being portrayed to other folks here, and there's probably just some other stuff internally that he's probably had going on here. And I say that to say so, it's like no amount of money or prestige can make erase that. And it's quite obvious with him. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, 100%. And I think I can't imagine what must be going on for him internally, at least in the movie. They have that scene where the twoies have decided they want to adopt him. And it seems like at least the way it's coming across is it's like coming from a benevolent place and hoping to help Michael and further his future. And they're all sitting at the table and their biological children are so excited to hear his response. And I think Leanne says something like, what do you think? Know, like a permanent member of our family or something. I don't think they use the word adoption, or maybe they do. And he says something like, I thought I already was. And everyone's like, that's so cute. And again, it's kind of like, is that again a jab? Like, well, he's kind of so dumb he doesn't realize what's going on? Or is it speaking to how he really does feel like he's part of this family and he's loved and it's so happy. But then it's come out that they didn't actually adopt him. They entered a conservatorship. And that really blew my mind because in the movie they use the word adoption or guardian. I think they say they're his legal guardians over and over and over and again, I'm not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that adoption and legal guardianship are very different from conservatorship. But I wonder, Zarell Quran, can you speak to that in any ways? Zerrell Stallings : Actually funny. I actually can. I have guardianship of my God. So conservatorship and guardianship is totally different. There is a different process. I'm sure you have to go in front of some sort of judge. But I think what happened with them in the movie was they couldn't get his mom probably to sign off. So that probably was the easiest way to be able to do things legally with him. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, because you see them at the department of family Services, right? She's like cutting the line to get the. Zerrell Stallings : Mean. She was a pistol through the whole movie. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But again, that sense of entitlement just bleeds all the way through. I think in the movie, though, they said that he was a ward of the state, so they didn't need his mom's permission. And she was like, what? You would give him to me without telling his mama? And then she went to see the mom again, sort of painting her as this benevolent, like, oh, I couldn't possibly do this without telling the mom. But who knows what really happened? Qur-an Webb: Who knows what happened? And just to add on to this conversation, one as far as water to state, meaning the state has custody, custody of you. And again, even with that being said, under 18, as far as for the adoption to actually go through, for someone under 18, the parents rights have to be terminated first and foremost. For adoption to even go through the conservatorship is all more the adult side. So if that's the move that they made, is when he turned 18, legally, he didn't need a parents decision or anything, mom decision or what have you to move forward here. But anything under 18 as far as the adoption piece, parents all rights have to be terminated in regards to that, the obtain legal guardianship. They don't have to be terminated in regards to that. So there's a couple of different avenues under 18. But it appears with the whole conservatorship, if that was the case, they waited till he was 18. This way they didn't need his parents permission or the state's permission because by then he's an adult, even though if he was a senior in high school, if he's 18, he's 18. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So then why would they need a conservatorship at all, is my question. If he's 18, couldn't they just support him with. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Qur-an Webb: Legal. Legal. To be able to have some legal jurisdiction over him, paperwork, finances, everything else, as far as some type of legal guardianship of him as an adult to have some legal say that is. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I guess what I know about conservatorship, at least in the state of Connecticut, is from a psychiatrist's point of view. Right. That I know that there's two types of conservatorships here, conservatorship of person and then conservatorship of a state. And so conservatorship of person is when you give someone the legal power to make decisions for you about where you live, your health care, what medications you take, where you go to school, if you're going to school, things like that, then conservatorship of finance is someone who has legal control over your finances. And at least as a psychiatrist that comes up in our line of work, if someone has a mental illness, anything ranging from schizophrenia to bipolar disorder to dementia to neurocognitive impairment, it can also come up for medical illnesses that might affect someone's decision making, where someone is so impaired that they're not able to manage these things on their own. But the key piece is someone has to be so impaired that they're not able to manage these things on their own. And I think that's where, again, like Britney Spears'conservatorship, has been in the media a lot, because the big question is, like, well, how can you say you're so impaired you need a conservator, and yet you're doing all these things? And I think in the documentary about the blind side that came out recently, they said in the paperwork, it says he's of sound mind, like, there are no disabilities or anything. And someone commented like, that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Because you need that to have a conservator. Qur-an Webb: Right. Interesting. You mentioned that. And you mentioned white savorism. But I also bring up white privilege gummy, because basically when that's all said and done. They probably knew some people to make a decision as far know judge or what have you to sign off on all that. Especially to your know Katrina when you just mentioned know he has sound mind and everything else here. So it was probably some behind the scenes things that were moving and shaking in regards to to get things signed off as far as to be a conservator for him to have some say about his finances or what have you. And to your point here obviously in Connecticut with some things going know developmentally delays and everything else here that's usually know conservatorship plays a big role here in regards to preliminary guardians and all that other stuff here. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. But it's my understanding and I could be wrong. And so please let me know if I am that you can't just walk down the street and be like, there's an 18 year old high schooler. I'm going to be his conservator now without steps. Qur-an Webb: Step studies, everything that tells it. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, right. I'm just speaking from my own experience. There have been times where the judges denied conservatorship for patients we've had on the inpatient unit who are so ill and yet they still preserve their autonomy. Right. These aren't decisions that I've seen made very lightly. So when this came up, I just was so confused. I was like, why did they do this? What did this give them that they needed, that they couldn't have had without it? And the only things that come to my mind are like nefarious, malicious things. I don't know. They could have still supported him in doing good at school, going to college. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They could have assisted him make decisions like, oh, hey, like many 18 year olds, here's your first contract, or here's your first deal. Do you want to talk to a financial advisor? You want to set up a bank account for you, though I'm giving you advice freely. Why do I have to be signing off on it? And then that just feels like, why. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Is the money coming to me? Right. Zerrell Stallings : I would say three letters, R-O-I return on investment, my house, I fed you, I closed you, I made sure you got the proper education, so forth. And I'm just being, just thinking from their crazy perspective. So I need to be able to recoup this at some point. Just think about the movie. If I'm your conservator, right? I can use your likeness without your permission. If he's feeling like he's feeling now, I don't think he would have signed off on the script. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's interesting. I was saying I didn't even think about the movie rights. I would gander that that is probably the majority of it, right. Because he was so uninvolved in that. And I was like, well, how it's about him, right. Let alone thinking about his sports career, which I'm sure obviously was also impacted in a way by them. But yeah, okay, that clears up some questions that I had that makes all. Qur-an Webb: Sense in the world. I was just going to add just in regards to, back to the media, how they, we got a blackmail young black male, eventually an adult black male. Just thinking about the circumstances as far as, I'm just talking about the movie in general, not the person himself here in a situation, big house, family, you get pretty much anything that you want here. So they got it as far as, of course, this black male is not going to say no to this. And do you want to be adopted? Do you want to be adopted? Or whatever the questions that are being asked to think about the pressures of just hearing that as far as that goes here, being a young man here, like I'm going to say no, I'm going to give all this up that I have as far as versus where I came from. And again, like I said, I just tie that back to the media and kind of just taking a left turn as far as in regards to what they wanted it to be portrayed. As far as we talk about black men and we think about black men, I mean, handful of movies or what have you, that were we depicted as far as in positive lights and ain't these stereotypes, white family coming to save us and everything else as well too. So definitely some of that going on as well. I just wanted to just add that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: His experience now I'm speaking just of what thoughts kind of come to my mind is like if you take someone who's been displaced from their family or has kind of had to bounce around even if they are with supports, I would imagine that to an extent that impacts your attachment. So you probably don't have the most secure attachment. And so when then there's these big powerful people making all these promises and kind of giving you an Xbox even though, right. That's like nothing to them. But it's like this big deal that kind of gives that false sense of like we got you. And I think someone with maybe not the strongest attachment style is more easily kind of being able to go along with that. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, exactly. It is exactly grooming. And I think it makes me so sad for him as a person and for any other person who goes through this, because I'm just thinking, like he probably, and again, I'm just totally making assumptions here. I don't know for sure, but it seems like he felt so loved and cared for, and then to realize what was actually happening, it's got to feel awful. And like you were saying earlier, karan, no amount of money or Super bowl wins takes that pain away of feeling like, wait, I thought you were my family. But actually now I'm learning this is a conservatorship and you guys made like hundreds of millions of dollars off of me. But what? Zerrell Stallings : Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow for them. I'm sure it is. But I'm going to say this, and this is not to give any positivity on the Tuis. I'm glad Michael took advantage of every bit of it. Yeah, he got his education. He was able to make it to the NFL. He was able to be a Super bowl champion. Not sure if he's in the hall, he might go in the hall at some point. So he took advantage of every bit of it. And I'm glad because a lot of times you get used up and you don't get a chance to take advantage of none of it. You just get used up and tossed away. Luckily, he was able to take full advantage of everything that every opportunity that came across his path, even though they had their alternatives and what they were trying to do. So I think that's the one positive. But I'm going to just say about the movie. I think for me, I was always suspicious of the movie when it was never told from his eyes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. I want to know who is Michael Lewis, too? Where did he come from and why is he writing the book? I think he was friends with Sean Tui. They said in the, like, why do. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You write the Michael? Yeah, right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I really want to hear from Michael. I hope someday we, like, I would be really interested to hear his perspective. One thing that really stuck out to me in the documentary was someone with, I think a lot of people, like his friends and things like that who are in the documentary were saying, just imagine what it was like for him to enter all those locker rooms after this movie came out. And everyone thinks you're an idiot, everyone thinks you're dumb, you can't read, you can't write, and you just walk in and that's the picture they have of you. Qur-an Webb: Yeah, I think that probably did travel with him, but I think those, as far as you talk about teammates and coaches those who probably spent that time with him knows, probably could be the complete opposite as well too. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, true. Qur-an Webb: As far as getting to know him, knowing the man that he is and who he became, as far as an individual as well. But I'm sure those who didn't know him or what have you there, I'm sure it could play the role somewhere along the way there. But I still also think that those who got to know him realize like, hey, this is not what the depiction of him is not true. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. And sports, I think as many of us know, is also just such a wonderful outlet for having a team, for having positive supports, for being good for your mental health, working towards goals and working together collaboratively. I think too, just that the action, obviously, unless you hate the sport, which makes it even worse. But the sports I think team can buffer, I would imagine some of the negative impacts of his experience and I would imagine other people's experiences as well, like him. Qur-an Webb: One of the trainers we tying around the mental health piece of it, how that sports interconnect with one another here. Just you talk about the team aspect of it and how important that is to have all supports and folks simply situated. There's no socioeconomic standards. When you put a helmet on, everyone has the same helmet, everybody's playing once you're on that field. We're talking about football as an individual sport as well, too. I mean, just the thrill of competing and being able to overcome challenges here and what have sports brings a whole lot to the table, most definitely. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So is there anything else you guys would like to kind of share about the movie thoughts, your kind of expertise in sports in general or anything else that we kind of missed today? Qur-an Webb: I think as a whole. And it's interesting, we're talking about sports but in different ways, not actually to being on the field, competing. We talk about different areas, whether it's trafficking, whether it's the mental health part of it, transition or what have you. It's just sports parallels life. I mean, we've said that along the way, Zarella and I, one way or another here, the highs, the lows and things that come with it. And this movie depicts, like I said, a lot of things, life related things here, things that were left out, maybe intentionally or unintentionally as far as in regards to the blindside movie here. But I think sports in general here, it's a lot of people's lives, a lot of people soundtrack their lives. It's the highs, the lows. I mean, I think about the NFL here like those who love it and folks are miserable for like a whole week if their team loses until that following weekend. It is interesting how powerful that is. And I think about those who actually are playing, whether it's tennis, whether it's swimming, whether it's lacrosse, just ability to, not only the physical needs that it helps, but the emotional, psychological things that it just brings to sports, like I said, definitely parallels life. And I know you talked about bringing this around, this episode, Aaron, give or take, around Super bowl time and how interested the whole trafficking piece came up. That's one of the prime times. We're talking about trafficking, especially sex trafficking at these sporting events such as the Super Bowl. Super bowl, like I said, is unfortunately prime real estate for those who are in that line of work with these vulnerable individuals that they take advantage of. So it's interesting, like we're talking about this. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, no, that's a good point. I think it's tragic to say the least. And it seems to always be vulnerable parties. Similarly, we just recorded an episode on some of the docuseries coming on cults, and we talked just about. Right. There's always a dynamic. There's someone who's with a lot of power, a lot of privilege, oftentimes also very good at people talking and charming to kind of lure you in. Right. And then it's these vulnerable people who are often, first for any reason vulnerable, that kind of fall prey, then to these nefarious people who oftentimes are doing a lot of, you know, like you said, zarell, in Michael's story, it's like the only thing that really is positive is when you do make it and you can take advantage of everything and you do get the deal, and then you have your own connections and you're kind of using like a sponge, sucking up it all as well. And then obviously the tragic stories as well. When you don't make it and you're kind of used up and then left with nothing, it's definitely devastating. Zerrell Stallings : Absolutely. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Zerrell Stallings : Well, their biggest nightmare is that he did take advantage and he was smarter than they think he is. And now, hopefully, I'm going to use his word lightly, but hopefully, justice is served for him and he gets whatever he presumes is his right. Because they got theirs already. They got theirs ten times over already. And I'm not saying they need to go broke or people need to cancel them, anything of that nature. I mean, it still was a business transaction at the end of the day. And it just was sad that they didn't tell that young mayor that it was a business transaction. At the end of the day, we was going to give you this to get this, but fortunately, he was able to figure that out on his own and he's speaking out about it. So that's a good thing. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And he has a, he's, he's married, he has kids, and it seems like he has a lot of friends who do know the real Michael and a lot of teammates and people that he's worked with over the years. So, like, you mean, that feels like at such a mean. I'm selfishly glad for him that we get to see the other side. But I remember being really shocked a couple of years ago when people kind of came out and were saying that his parents or not his parents, the Tuis, were not at his wedding and people were outraged. I think it was like five or six years ago. And that's where I think for a lot of people who didn't know him or didn't know his story or weren't kind of viewing the movie in a certain way, were like, I guess it's not this fairy tale, happily ever after story at all. And then now it's like so much more has come out, which I think we should all be skeptics, right, with what we see and just in general what we see in movies, knowing that a movie is always going to be portrayed in a way that's going to make the most money and that's going to get the most people to see it. And I think we're in this podcast also, just trying to give people a different lens to maybe think of when we see movies so that bad info isn't scattered around. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But I think if anyone else has. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Anything to say, we're almost at time. But Darrell. Zerrell Stallings : Well, I was just going to say I'm glad that you guys are doing an episode about the blind side. It's good that these conversations happen and these conversations continue because Michael might not look at it as sports trafficking, or maybe he does. And maybe this can be a whole start of another conversation that people haven't thought of and good people like you guys are doing an episode and a podcast that can dissect and get into the real of what really is going on in these sports communities and things of that nature. So from behalf of Abso, I just want to say thank you guys for it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Well, thank you for coming on. We're so excited to have you here today. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: We told all. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And thank you for doing the work you're doing. I mean, I think you're really doing the groundwork in the know, like as a privileged white know. I also want to just recognize that we see it from one lens. And I would just really appreciate if Hollywood would stop. Yes, okay, sensationalize. But maybe we could move away from sensationalizing such racist ideas forever. I just would really like to get away from that. That's not in my control. But it really just breaks my heart to see this sort of stuff perpetuated and then successful. I mean, I just think it also just speaks to such broader issues in our society that that is such a. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So where can our listeners find you? Do you guys have a website you'd like to share? Qur-an Webb: Sure. We have blacksportsofficials.com here. Interest in Zarell talked about as far as in regards to some of the things we have going on. Again, our officiating signing business that we do do the independent Sports alliance here, but we're actually transitioning the educational piece outside of the association of Black Sports officials. We're going to do a lot more advocacy work and other things centered around blacks in that regards here. But the education piece here just coming under a new umbrella, achieving better sports outcomes. So that's the name of the company here. And again, these topics such as what's being talked about today and everything else as well, too. We have a rollout. We're doing something at the hall of Fame in March. As far as a presentation similar to what you went to Portia, it was actually an all day one. So we're doing that in the middle of March here. As far as, so we're excited about that as well, to get that out there as well. And some of the other work that we're doing as well, too. But at least initially, right off the bat here, we could go to blacksportsofficials.com, sportswiths, officialswithas.com. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Great. And I hope it's ok with you. We'll link to all of that in our show notes here. If you want to send that to us and let us know when that presentation is, I'd love to know if we're able to to. Portia had such great things to say about your talk. I'd really love to learn more and hear more about it. Qur-an Webb: And we didn't pay her to say. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I know, not at know. The funny thing is no one's paying. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Us to do this podcast yet. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: If you're liking it and you're listening, please rate, review and subscribe. And you can follow us at analyze scripts podcast on Instagram, TikTok you can watch this podcast on YouTube and we hope to keep putting know really good content, educational content, breaking down movies and tv shows. And thank you both so much for joining us. We have been so excited to talk to you. I think you just bring such an important perspective and I really hope that you continue doing the good work, and I can't wait to see where it goes. Qur-an Webb: Same to you ladies as well. This is a great concept, great idea. So looking for this to take off, and next thing you know, you'd be somewhere in Hollywood yourselves. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Not producing a movie like this. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I can guarantee. Qur-an Webb: Not. Absolutely not. So thank you, ladies. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: All right, take care everyone. Qur-an Webb: Bye bye bye.

So, this is literally our favorite round! At the end of the day, it's amazing!! Ironically, it's, like, so random! It's trash!! Irregardless, it's awesome!!! Am I right! Exclamation mark? lololHere's what our friend Artie had to say about this round: In this round of Beer Thursday, the hosts explore the world of overused phrases, or 'crutch words,' and how certain words or phrases can quickly become mundane or even annoying due to their frequency and misuse. They discuss the use of phrases like 'literally,' 'random,' and 'irregardless' and their growing annoyance with them. Additionally, they contemplate how certain terms and symbols (like 'LOL' and exclamation points) influence the overall tone and meaning of conversations. The hosts invite the audience to be more mindful in their communication, both in listening and speaking, and promote a better understanding of language.Support the showFor complete show notes, go to Shayne.Fun/bt.

Do you pay your salespeople in perpetuity? Peel back the layers to expose the hidden dangers of perpetual payouts. Irregardless of what an acquirer wants, it's time to take another look at your sales comp plan. The partnering-with-pest-control question continues. In this case, The Boardroom takes another stab at the home inspection question from Episode 131. Do the same rules regarding perpetuity pay for salespeople apply to paying joint venture partners? And should it (and you) stay or should it go? When it comes to joint venture partners and also founders, what challenges and opportunities exist when it comes to transitioning after an exit? And how does it differ between strategics and private equity? Audio Mixing and Editing by www.verbell.ltd

It's been a hot minute, folks. Needless to say, chaos has taken hold of our lives. Imagine the literal chaos, though, of crash landing a plane in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon.

This episode is a walk-through my journey of awakening and some of the precious lessons I've learned throughout it. Lessons not isolated to a journey of awakening, but lessons so intertwined with life, that we all seem to learn them at some point or another, in our own way. We are not separate and we never were. The light you see in others is too within you - and your access to it comes from a willingness to learn. To be open.In this episode, I talk about - Interconnectedness. My own journey.What death has taught me. Learning to trust the sixth sense, gut instinct. How to trust your intuition & not talk yourself out of your dreams.The inevitable impermanence of it all. Detachment. Learning to trust that every step and mis-step on your journey, every cataclysm, every burst of being, is for your evolvement. Surrender & Relinquishing of control.We are all just here. Walking each other home. -----------------------------It seems like everything that could have gone wrong with this episode, did. Recording was loud and clumsy. My camera was set to slow motion and didn't pick up any audio. As I found flow editing, I lost a folder with all of my cut-down clips. I spent an hour trying to find it. Searching through files, downloading recovery software. In the sake and name of what this episode is, I figure it makes a lot of sense. ------ Soul Consciousness.I was 14 when I watched my grandfather take his last breath. It was the first time I remember having an inner inclination that the life force within us cannot simply dissipate and fade away into nothingness.That there just might be something more. Somewhere, I knew that he was not really gone. Irregardless of if he traveled upon a plane of existence unbeknownst to my mortal humanity, I felt his life's blood through me. I felt his lived experiences in my heart and in my bones, and I knew that as long as I was alive, he would be too - as he lived through me and with me, whether it was all that he gave to me in this physical realm and the patriarchal fortress he built upon our family, Or somewhere very far away yet, not far away enough to be a point of guiding light in the ambiguity of my life. ----- Relinquishing control & surrendering to the flux of it all, knowing that sometimes things just don't end up the way we want them to, and no amount of willing can surmount the inevitable forces that may just be redirection. Or maybe not. But maybe that's not ours to know. The challenges, the tests, the lessons - the ones that never stop. Even once when we awaken to them, when we can spot the patterns and be an objective dimension in our own lives. We are here to learn. To remember and to forget. Over and over again. From darkness I have found light - I think that's the only way. I found a home in my spirit - which is not so different from yours. ---- SOCIALS: Spiritual & Self-Help Advice -> TikTok: butterflyfountain Podcast Instagram: @figuringshiiitoutPersonal Instagram: @222vgf Youtube: @figuringshitout (Vanessa Fontana / Butterfly Fountain)Support the showSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/figuring-sh-t-out/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Get yourself a bowl of ice cream, sit yourself on the couch, and have a watch of "Isabella" with us; one of our favorites from season 1 and an episode we think is underrated. Hear our analysis on Tony's hallucinations, which turn into hallucinations within hallucinations (Halluception). We also talk about some music used, deleted scenes, symbolism and the meaning of Isabella's character. Enjoy this episode as a commentary while watching the Isabella episode to either enhance/ruin your viewing experience. Irregardless, we're sure you'll agree with us by the end that the "timeline got fucked up".

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 5, 2023 is: fortuitous • for-TOO-uh-tus • adjective Fortuitous means “happening by chance.” It can also mean “having or showing good luck.” // It was rather fortuitous that the two sisters both decided to surprise their parents with a visit on the same weekend. // Thank goodness you're here; you could not have arrived at a more fortuitous time. See the entry > Examples: “Shigesato Itoi's journey to becoming a video game creator was a labyrinthine and fortuitous one, a strange tale that took him from novelist to voice actor in My Neighbor Totoro, and beyond.” — Aidan Moher, Lifehacker.com, 29 Sept. 2022 Did you know? For its first 250 years, until the early part of the 20th century, fortuitous meant one thing only: “happening by chance.” This was no accident; its Latin forebear, fortuitus, shares the same ancient root as fors, the Latin word for “chance.” But the fact that fortuitous sounds like a blend of fortunate and felicitous (“happily suited to an occasion”) likely led to a second meaning of “fortunate, lucky,” with the seeds of the newer sense perhaps planted by writers applying overtones of good fortune to something that is a random occurrence. The “lucky” use has been disparaged by critics, but it is now well established. Irregardless (cough), employing this sense in sterner company may be considered chancy.
