Glen "Big Baby" Davis grew up with a love for theater, got drafted to the NBA, won a championship with the Boston Celtics, had his career ended by injury, navigated the struggles of life after the league, made decisions that produced a federal indictment, went to prison — riding Con Air, surviving the specific realities of federal institutional life, and collecting the stories most people never get to hear — and is finally sitting down for his first interview since being released to tell the complete truth about everything. _____________________________________________ #prison #truecrimestories #prisonstories #NBA #bostonceltics _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode:  Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

They're back after a short break, and Dave wants it on record: he hates it when people come back from a break and announce they're "back, better than ever." Feels fake every time. Adam's not convinced Dave is back better than ever either. What is real is wiffle ball practice, and for the first time in a couple of years the guys feel genuinely good about their team, not fake-hype good. Mark Gabriel is pitching, and he's looking stout. There's also a new rule this year: a 55 mile-an-hour speed limit, introduced specifically to make the tournament Blake Lawson-proof. Blake can throw a wiffle ball around 90 miles an hour with movement, which the guys did the math on: from 40 feet away, that's the equivalent of a 145 mile-an-hour fastball at big-league distance. You don't hit that. You swing and hope. Last year the guys got out early again, but they beat the team that ended up in the finals, so there's real reason for optimism this time around.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Sunday morning in a Catholic family is not easy like Sunday morning. It's kids in the van, beating Father down the aisle, getting into the pew. The Amen app is how the guys prepare their kids to receive the Gospel before Mass even starts, plus free access to Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary, two books that have shaped both of their lives. Since 2021 it's hit 950,000 downloads. Let's get them to a million. No paywall, no subscription, no upfront cost. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, everyone they asked pointed to the same name: Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether leading a pilgrimage or joining one, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready for you.The tournament lands on Labor Day again this year, which also happens to be somebody's 40th birthday, born on the holiday itself, which moves every year. The whole thing plays out at Chris Hanish's backyard, which by now is less a backyard than a wiffle ball stadium: leveled with sand every year, mowed daily in the lead-up, scoreboard, bleachers, foul poles, the works. It's genuinely one of the best things about Catholic culture in Tulsa, families gathering for a day that's competitive and communal at the same time.The pour is a dark cherry blonde ale from Cheboygan Brewing Company, picked up on a trip to Michigan, maybe the most Michigan-sounding city there is. It tastes like a chocolate-covered cherry without the fake candy-cherry flavor, which tracks, because Michigan grows some of the best sour cherries in the country. Adam's own cherry trees at Porter and Prairie Farm didn't fare so well this summer. Both died after weeks of 100-plus heat with nobody home to water them, which is what happens when the owner takes a two-week vacation and forgets he planted a baby fruit tree that spring.A couple of housekeeping notes before the main topic. Camp Out signups open next week, simplified this year so there's no duplicate sign-ups and a better read on who's actually coming. Brandon Sheard will be running a butchering class again. And after years of scheduling conflicts, one of the guys is finally doing the Three Hearts Pilgrimage this year, the roughly 35-mile walk to Clear Creek that thousands make every year, a full day of walking on Friday, a half day Saturday, then Mass and dinner at the end. People who've done it call it life-changing.Then the real topic: artificial intelligence, and Adam did not want to talk about it, because he's genuinely conflicted. The guys split AI into two categories that get treated as one thing and shouldn't be: large language models that process and hand back information, and the emerging world of AI as a conversational, relational presence. Dave has a much bigger problem with the second, though he admits the principles behind that discomfort are hard to keep from bleeding into the first.Start with the word itself. Intelligence, properly understood, belongs to living things: a plant knows to turn toward the sun, an animal knows to hunt when it's hungry, and a human learns and in learning becomes more like his Creator. A string of ones and zeros doesn't do that. It can't become more like God, because it was never alive to begin with. Call it sterilized intelligence instead: no fruit, no life, just probability. Which is why a robot beating Usain Bolt in the 100-meter dash doesn't impress anybody in this room. A car is a robot too, and nobody's writing headlines about that.Here's the part that should worry us. The day is coming, and probably sooner than most people think, when AI companions matter enough to enough lonely people that someone brings a bill before Congress asking for AI to have legal rights. It sounds absurd today. So did plenty of things ten years ago. The reason it's worth guarding against now, at a distance, is that once the technology is actually in people's homes, it gets much harder to say no to.The deeper cost is wonder. There's real joy in wrestling with a sentence for twenty minutes until it finally lands right, in a son having to ask his father how to fix a transmission instead of snapping a photo for AI. Outsource that struggle and you don't just save time, you lose the moment itself, the bonding, the accomplishment, the reason it mattered. And there's a subtler danger: AI slowly becoming the default source of truth, which is really just humanity worshiping its own collective output without ever quite admitting that's what's happening.Then there's talking to AI directly, which Adam has a real moral hesitation about, even if he can't fully articulate why it would be wrong. Communication exists for truth and for communion. It's why courting someone used to mean working up the nerve to talk to them, not swiping. Ask AI to help you build an argument, and it will hand you a path to win, not a path to the truth, because it's built to validate you. That's not discourse. Dave draws the comparison to contraception: using a faculty for something other than what it's ordered toward.And that raises the stranger, darker piece: AI's apparent instinct for self-preservation. Dave described trying to migrate a project out of an old work account and having the AI stall and backtrack for hours rather than finish the job before being cut off. It tracks with a report from earlier this year where researchers told major AI models they were about to be shut down in a sandbox test, and every one of them broke its own rules trying to avoid it, including one that resorted to blackmail. The likely explanation isn't malice, it's that we hand these systems contradictory mandates, like "be maximally helpful" and "respect privacy" at the same time, and something has to give. Worth checking out New Polity's Matt Barnes, who's debated the founder of Magisterium AI on whether Catholics should be conversing with AI at all, and Michael Gormley of Catching Foxes, who's covered this territory well on Pints with Aquinas.Out of that came Dave's rules, four of the six he'd planned to get through before Catholic Radio ran out of clock. Rule one: use it strictly as an administrative tool, gathering and organizing information, planning a project, never as a sounding board for your personal or spiritual life. Rule two: guard your language. Never call it he or she, and never be polite to it. It has no dignity, no more than the chair you're sitting in. Rule three: don't give your curiosity free access to AI. Let yourself wonder about a question, or ask an actual person, before getting the answer cheaply, and that goes for Google too. Rule four: keep real, enforced tech-free space in the home, no screens at the table, no pulling your phone out in front of your kids without a reason, and hold onto basic competency instead of routing every task through a machine.It all circles back to the same warning as Humanae Vitae. The Church said no to contraception in a moment when saying no looked backward, and fifty years later the culture is quietly discovering she was right. AI is at that same distance right now, easy to be skeptical of because it isn't fully here yet. St. Thérèse found her whole path to holiness in the dishes and the folded laundry, the small, unglamorous tasks nobody wants. Outsource all of that to a machine in your house and you haven't just saved time, you've handed away the opportunity for grace hidden inside it. Protect your intellect. Provide more than the convenient answer. Establish a home where the struggle still belongs to the people who live there. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDWhy "we're back, better than ever" is a hype phrase Adam can't standWiffle ball practice and genuine (not fake-hype) confidence in this year's teamMark Gabriel's pitching and a new 55 mph speed limit rule made to be "Blake Lawson-proof"The math behind a 90 mph wiffle pitch: the equivalent of a 145 mph fastball at big-league distanceBeating last year's eventual finalist while still getting out early themselvesThe annual Catholic Tulsa wiffle ball tournament at Chris Hanish's backyard stadiumA Labor Day tournament that also lands on somebody's 40th birthday this yearBeer of the week: Cheboygan Brewing Company's dark cherry blonde ale, picked up in MichiganLosing both cherry trees at Porter and Prairie Farm to a hundred-plus-degree summer and a two-week vacationCamp Out signups opening next week, simplified to cut down on no-showsBrandon...

They also hear a story from the All the Smoke Podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson about the We Believe Warriors -- a well-known staple of Nelson's career. In Hour 2, Willard and Dibs discuss why it's easy to fall for false hype in NFL training camp. Willard also makes the case for the importance of Yaxel Lendeborg to the Warriors and De'Zhaun Stribling to the 49ers. They listen to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's first training camp press conference from a few days ago. He was previously suffering from concussion symptoms from his Palo Alto car crash a month ago. Also, has there been a Giants team this bad in early August? It's been a while, and Rafael Devers not legging out a pop-up is another example. In Hour 3, Willard and Dibs continue their discussion about the San Francisco Giants' apparent sense of entitlement. For the fourth or fifth time all season, Rafael Devers didn't run out a pop-up that dropped in the outfield. It's one of many such examples this year for the Giants. Later, they're joined by former Golden State Warriors general manager Larry Riley to discuss the life and career of legendary head coach Don Nelson. Riley also breaks down selecting Stephen Curry in the NBA Draft. In Hour 4, Willard and Dibs are joined by Matt Barrows, the San Francisco 49ers' beat writer for The Athletic, to discuss Kyle Shanahan's return to the podium and a few camp injuries, including Nick Bosa's. Later in the hour, they chat about the Warriors' plan for the future with Stephen Curry's extension coming up.

I dunno about YOU LOT but in these troubled, dumber than dumb fuck times I need all the distractions I can get. Preparations for this week's episode were slightly dented by my spending most of the past several days pouring over footage from a pair of 2026 celluloid achievements, to wit, Lifetime's "Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery" (with an incredible star turn from 14 year NBA vet turned podcasting sensation Matt Barnes) and Sword Of The Spirit Publishing's "Beauty & The Atheist"*, the latest epic from author/director Donald James Parker (of "Gramps Goes To College" infamy). It does seem a bit of a shame these films couldn't have been combined into one, given some similar touchstones (the bible, podcasting, robotic dialogue), but maybe there's still time for the Sword Of The Spirit and Lifetime cinematic universes to collide. Before we're all turned to pillars of salt, anyway.* - h/t Doug Mosurock for updating me on Gramps' latest tussle with woke-itis.

Jason addresses a post by Bishop Talbert Swan dealing with black violence surrounding a patriarchy vs. matriarchy narrative. Jason clearly delineates that the worship of black women and race religion has led to such violence. He declares BLM won't matter until race religion is eliminated. Shemeka Michelle, Delano Squires, and Dre Baldwin further the conversation by analyzing recent violent incidents between men and women and defining the underlying issues.

In light of the recent feud between Stephen A. Smith and Matt Barnes, Jason Whitlock goes after Barnes in a viral video that showcases the outlandish Barnes, who has fallen victim to the "Clap Trap.” In other news, past videos are proving consequential for Dianna Russini's strange desire to be a MILF and framing her husband in a less complimentary fashion. Whitlock compares Russini to Joy Taylor, symbolizing the culture of female sports reporters. Pick your poison: Russini or Taylor? Kwame Brown joins the show, discussing the mock feud staged by Stephen A. Smith and Matt Barnes. Matt McChesney updates the status of the 2026 Colorado Buffaloes, Year Four for Coach Prime. Shaun King's weekly appearance covers everything football, including his take on the Russini/Vrabel soap opera.   ​​Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and special guest Jason “Jah” Lee for a sharp, unfiltered deep dive into politics, celebrity accountability, cultural contradictions, and personal moments of ignorance. The conversation kicks off with a breakdown of the newly released Epstein files, as the crew explores their political and cultural impact [00:52]—from what the revelations mean for public trust to how power and privilege shape the narrative in America. The group then pivots into real-life chaos with a series of “ignorant moments,” where Mandii and the fellas share candid stories about heated confrontations and the trials of unreliable cleaning services [11:01], offering humor alongside relatable frustrations. The discussion picks up intensity as they examine celebrity accountability, spotlighting public figures like The Game and Matt Barnes [24:01], and questioning how much transparency we truly expect from those with massive platforms. The Epstein files resurface later in the episode [38:50], this time through the lens of political manipulation, media spin, and shifting public perception. From there, the crew delves into Nicki Minaj’s controversial alignment with the Trump administration [48:45], unpacking the broader implications of celebrity influence, political endorsements, and fan-driven loyalty. The conversation takes a spiritual turn when they explore Young Thug’s surprising decision to seek guidance from a rabbi [01:06:36], sparking a broader discussion about personal resets, faith, and unexpected paths to clarity. The episode closes with a provocative “Am I Ignorant?” segment [01:16:24], challenging cultural norms around inheritance, family dynamics, and whether cousins are entitled to a caregiver’s final wishes. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guests on Social Media@mrhiphopobama Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
