Welcome to Philly. I'm Lisa Kearney. You're watching Fandle TV's more ways to win holding it down this week in the Fandle Sportsbook in live casino and hotel Philadelphia. We are so excited to bring you the energy of this awesome city as we get ready for championship Sunday. The live casino hotel Philadelphia is just about a half mile away from Lincoln Financial Field where the Eagles will host the 49ers for a chance to go to the Super Bowl. Philly fans, this is the place to watch and wager on your Eagles. And you know the Fandle Sportsbook is going to be a hype on Sunday for the big game. We are so pumped to be here. We're going to break down all the angles of the Eagles and 49ers match up as well as the Chiefs and Bengals, of course. And these are the guys to get you ready to bet it. Same lineup as always. Our sports betting expert, Dave Weaver, former NFL wideout and Super Bowl champion, James Jones, sports talk radio host, Andrew Filiponi and the face of Marquis Sports Network, our NFL expert, Cole Wright. Team is here, guys. Championship weekend is ahead of us. Let's kick this thing off. More ways to win starts now and let's of course start right here with the NFC in Philly, the early game on Sunday. This guy's the Niners at Eagles kickoff 3 p.m. Eastern time. Philly coming off that dominating performance against the Giants on both sides of the ball offense racked up 268 yards on the ground on the way to that 38. To 7 win, but the 49ers D ranked second in rushing defense and has led San Francisco to 12 straight wins, including that 19 to 12 win over the Cowboys last weekend. So guys, let's do what we do. Let's bet this thing. Dave Pony, James, the Eagles are giving two and a half points in this matchup. Let's get your picks and Pony, you're starting us off today. What you got? I think the 49ers are starting to discover that Brock Purdy has been able to keep them afloat and then some, but the mystic and magic of some of the regular season games, not carrying over at least nine to the Dallas game. They scored one touchdown. Purdy had, for him, pedestrian stats. And now here comes an Eagles defense that led the league in sacks with 70, which was 15 more than anybody else. It's going to be an intimidating environment for Purdy on the road in that hostile Lincoln financial field scenario, Lisa, that you're not that far away from. And I just don't trust the last pick in the draft to get the job done there. It's also Dave, a very vulnerable 49ers pass defense. Lisa gave the great rushing defense stat, but they were 20 against the pass. And I think Jalen Hurts looked healthy. He will exploit that in this game. Take the Eagles. It's not too late to just admit you were wrong about the guy, Pony. Every time he covers, you find a reason to say, well, he's really not that good. He is that good.  There's six and one against the spread. The one game that they didn't cover, he put up 37 points against the Raiders. So he's finding a way to get it done. That's the bottom line. Jalen Hurts is one game against the Niners, 12 for 23, that should say, for 190 yards and no touchdowns. That's nothing. If he gets it done, it's probably going to be on the ground. Since Brock Purdy has taken over, the Niners point differential is plus 106. The next best is 29 points away at plus 77. And that's the Eagle. So I just think that you're continuing to find ways to bash Purdy when he's better than you give him credit for. In James, we know this. You watch the tapes. The Eagles aren't all that. And I'm glad I'm in LA because I might, if I was with Lisa, get some tomatoes thrown at me right now or other items. You know what? This is one of those times right here to where I'm not really looking at the tape, man. Maybe I need to go look at some more film because I'm not looking at the tape because I'm with Pony on this one. I do not understand how they go into Philly and win this ballgame with Brock Purdy. And what I mean by that is they beat the Dallas Cowboys strictly off defense. He scored one touchdown. If he scores one touchdown in Philly, they are going to walk out of there with a loss. I know the Niners' defense is big time. That's the reason why they beat the Cowboys, taking the ball over, able to stop the run, especially after Tony Pollard went out. But the 49ers and the Niners are in trouble. I've been in Philly in a hostile environment in a playoff game. It is going to be rocking out there. Pony, you're talking about 70 sacks. That is big time. That tells me that Brock Purdy is going to be under pressure all game long. How is he going to respond? He wasn't even under a lot of pressure in Dallas. I mean, against the Cowboys. And like I said, he scored one touchdown. This is going to be as big as outing. Last week, the Dallas Cowboys, I think they said was the only winning team they played with a solid defense.  I think Brock Purdy's in these Niners are in big, big trouble. The way Philly played last week, I told you guys in the last show, the first one it's hard to get.  So this one here, I don't think it's going to be a blowout. I see the Eagles riding in this one. Yeah, you talked about on the road and you're going all the way across the country to a very hostile environment. Again, about half mile from where I'm standing right now in Lincoln Financial Field. Guys, you know this. In addition to betting the spread, you can also get in on some very fun prop bets. So Cole, this is all you. Let's bring you into the mix here and get a couple of rapid fire prop bet picks. We're going to start with the guy who drives this Eagles machine. You're going to go over or under 234 and a half passing yards for Jalen Hurst. Well, we say in those 15 games he played in this year, he had seven with 243 plus and in those games, 13 touchdowns and all seven of those games, they resulted in Eagles wins. Now, 35 touchdowns during the regular season, 22 of them and they were of the passing variety. This Eagles team, they're going to be all around the board when it comes to the offense. So I think he's going to throw for a lot. And by the way, he averages 246 plus per game. So Jalen Hurst, when it comes to his passing yards, just go with the over. Just listen to me. I've been good as gold on some of these props, Lisa. Cache money. I've been talking about where my green color of money over here. All right, let's get to the guy who has the most fun playing football in all of the NFL 49ers tied in led the team with 96 receiving yards last week. Are you going over or under 44 and a half receiving yards for George Kittle this week? Well, I like to call him GKO because he channels WWE wrestler every time he steps out there on the field. And once upon a time, he did an interview with me in training camp shirtless. So you know, he's all about it, but it's playoffs. He's been a mixed bag so far and only six games leases this year with more than 44 and a half yards, but he was a touchdown machine and he's been a little dry in that department over the last few games. So I think he's going to rack up the yards. He's going to find pay dirt. He's due for both. So go with both of those. George Kittle with the over. He's going to have to catch everything that comes his way to give his team a chance here in Philly. All right. Great stuff. Cool. Thank you. All right, guys, let's get to the AFC championship game. And this is another great matchup that absolutely terrifies me. All eyes are on Patrick Mahomes. And of course, his progress after he suffered that high ankle sprain early in the chief's 27-20 win over the Jags. Unbelievably, we saw him finish out that game clearly limited. And for a very mobile quarterback, his health is a massive question mark coming into this one. He did practice this week, which is encouraging to chiefs fans because on the other side, these bangles have ice in their veins after dominating bills last week into set up this matchup with the chiefs. They've now beaten three times in a row. Guys, one of those bangles wins was against Kansas City week 13 in Cincinnati and another was last year's AFC championship game in Kansas City. This line opened Kansas City as a favorite. The Bengals are now a one point favorite on the road. Pony, take me into this game. What's your mindset here as you bet this one? Like that Tom Brady meme by the end of this game, we're going to be like this four fingers up in the air because it'll be four straight wins. Sorry, Lisa, for the bangles over the chiefs. I can't wait to hear James's take on this because this high ankle sprain thing Mahomes has acted like, oh, I'm fine. I'll be good to go. It is at best a four to six week injury when it's really bad. It's surgery in six months. I just refuse to believe that we're going to see Mahomes magic running around.  I know guys that have missed months with this injury. So I don't know, unless he's Superman, I think he's going to be compromised. And even when he's at his best, this Bengals defense does not get enough credit. Lou Ann Amarino shut this guy down in the second half of the AFC championship game. No touchdowns last year held him to 24 points this year. The Bengals are going back to the Super Bowl with a win in Kansas City. Well, I'll tell you what, Pony. Dr. David Chow once upon a time, he told me that Patrick Mahomes has loose muscles. He heals a lot quicker than anyone else. So maybe we'll see a terrible Owen situation when he played the Super Bowl with that busted leg. But that's here north there. I'm looking at his resume. And in his 12 postseason games, nine and three. And two of those three losses, well, they've been one score games in this season. Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs, they were seven and three in one score contest. And of course he's looking to keep it close and get Joe Burrow off of his back in order to do so, that offensive line. They're going to have to have that banner day. And so will Isaiah Pacheco because this dude's averaging just a skosh under 73 rushing yards per game over his last 10. And you combine that with Travis Kelsey, who's out there, thrived and living his best life. Well, by the way, I said we'd go over on receiving yards versus Jacksonville. And he did. He's going to look to add to his Hall of Fame playoff career numbers. 14 touchdowns, 1389 yards. Kansas City, they're going to be legendary in this one. And they're going to have to be to be Joe Burrow in company 34-27. You take it to the bank. You know what, Cole?  You know what I'm saying? It's hard to get out the fast. But the Kansas City Chiefs are in trouble, man. They are in big trouble. And number one, I mean, Pony said it. He can't mess with Joe Joe Burrow on two healthy ankle. You think he's going to mess with Joe Joe Burrow on one healthy ankle? It's not going to happen. The Cincinnati Bagels, I told you guys last week, I will never go against Joe Joe Burrow. He just knows how to win. That's no knock to Patrick Mahomes. He's won a lot of games. He's been at a couple of Super Bowls as well. But Joe Joe Burrow has that Tom Brady effect, that winning effect. When he steps on the football field, they believe they can win. And they've been winning, especially when they play the Kansas City Chiefs. They have their number right now. Joe Joe Burrow needs bangles. And Pony, I played with a high ankle sprain. It is nothing to be played with. And when you step on the field, you are not at your best. I promise you, Patrick Mahomes will step out there. But he will not be the Patrick Mahomes that we are used to seeing. These high ankle sprains will linger for a very long time. And yes, you're right. Some of them will require surgery. And I probably, if he keeps playing on it, he probably will need some surgery at the end of the game. And kudos to him for sticking in the game to be out there for his teammate. But this is the last straw. This is the last straw. Joe Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Tyler Boyd, they're coming in the building. I don't even know a team that's been favored with Patrick Mahomes under center coming into Kansas City in the playoffs. I don't know when the bad last one was. This is going to be a big time game for Joe Joe Burrow. And they're going to send Patty Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs home. Yeah, the book knows it. Plus one for KC at home. And that's why you're not wearing red, Lisa. You know it too. You know it too. Hey, I'm looking at the NFC. I'm like, hey, I'm here in Philly. I'm going to wear a little green for the Eagles. So a little thanks for welcoming us here. Dave, I got to get to you. You got to get your pick on a couple of prop bets here. And we have to focus on these stud quarterbacks we've talked so much about and so much more to say. Let's start with over under one and a half passing touchdowns for Joe Joe Burrow. One and a half. I mean, he's played the Bengals. He's played the Chiefs three times. He has eight touchdowns in those games for two and two. So he's hit that number every single time. I don't see why this game is going to be any different. He'll get at least two. I'm going over. All right, let's go with Patrick Mahomes. Remember, limited with that high ankle sprain over or under 275. It's 279 and a half passing yards. Really tough to play Mahomes on any problem because you really don't know if he's going to make it through the first quarter. He's going to try. I just can't do it. Even a healthy Mahomes, he's only hit this number three last three games against the Bengals one time. So I just don't think he's going to be able to escape the pocket like we normally see. That's how it gets most of the yards. More short passes. I'm going under. Okay. Great stuff, Dave. Thank you so much.

As always, have fun and good luck. We're rolling on here on Moreways to win and we're bringing in our special guest to give his expert analysis on this weekend. Two games on Sunday. Chad Milman is the Chief Content Officer of the Action Network. He has done all the research for you and for us. Chad, hey, it's Championship Sunday. Got to get your best bets for these two games. When you look at the board, Chad, what are you most excited about? What's your number one best bet? All right, so right now I'm looking at the under in the bangles in the Chiefs and a caveat here. This line opened at 51 and a half on Sunday night as soon as the matchup was set. I bet the under then obviously it's gone down considerably and it was fascinating to watch the markets move on Sunday night. As the news about my homes became a little bit more clear on how bad the injury was. This thing dropped from 51 and a half all the way down to 46 and a half. It's now hovering around 47 and a half. The floor of what I would bet the under at on this is 47. And if we think about the bangles right now, they've beaten my home three times in a row when he is healthy. This is a team whose defense is not getting enough credit. And it's the reason why they've been so hot the past couple of months in the NFL. Sixth in the NFL in yards per play allowed. Fifth in red zone touchdown percentage. Those are key factors when you're talking about stopping a Kansas City offense. Also, we talked about this last week when we liked the under in the chief's game. And he read historically at home. The numbers are inflated to the over. So you're playing a bet here that historically goes to the under. OK, good stuff there. Let's hear your second favorite bet for this weekend's games. All right. So the other one is I like the Eagles to beat up the 49ers. The line is a two and a half right now. Again, this is another one that got steamed up as soon as it opened. It got bit up to two. It's been hovering around two and a half the past couple of days. Most wise guys have this power rated as Eagles minus three. So you're still getting a little bit of value. Everyone loves Brock Purdy. He's been amazing in his starts, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions, including the playoffs. But he looked very mediocre against the Cowboys the other day. He's also been sacked 16 times in his starts. And he's facing a pass rush in the Eagles that is unlike anything he's seen so far. He's had a great season and also, by the way, going on the road for only the third time. And it's not like he's going to Vegas, right? He's going to Philly. That is a terrible, nasty place to play, especially if you're a rookie who has barely played this season as an underdog in a title game to go to the Super Bowl. And one other thing I would say, not enough credit given to the rushing game for the Eagles, which is historically dominant. So you're talking about a team that can control the line of scrimmage on defense and has the potential to control the line of scrimmage on offense. I like the Eagles is two and a half point favorites. Yeah, that one could get ugly if Purdy is not upright in that game. Awesome stuff, Chad. You can get more of Chad's insight by listening to the favorites podcast wherever you get your podcast. Also make sure to download the action network app for expert picks, live scores and stats. Thank you. Thank you, Chad. Now we roll on here on more ways to win and we are excited to be bringing you the show from the heart of Philadelphia inside the Fanel Sports Book here. The party is always on here at live casino in Hotel Philadelphia. So let's match the energy with our own same game, Parley Partay. Dave, see what I did there? Pony, this is your time to shine. Welcome to the party. Our same game Parley winner and Dave, you're up first. You've got the NFC Niners Eagles. All you floor is yours. Yeah, when you go to the Fanel Sports Book and click on a game, you can click on same game Parley and it's going to list all the different things you can choose from. The first thing you'll see is the game itself with the spread or the money line and the total. I'm just going to go with who's going to win this game. And for me, that's the San Francisco 49ers. So there are plus 120 in the money line. I'll start there. You could also say who's going to score touchdowns. But I'm going to start with a couple of guys that I think get into the end zone from the backfield. Christian McCaffrey for the 49ers should get, might even score first, but he should get an early touchdown to put the Niners on the board. And then as far as the Bengals go, I like to go to the running back. You know, anytime you get inside the five yard line, chances are the running back, the one that's going to punch it in. So Joe Mixon also to get into the end. Oh, I'm sorry. Let me switch that to Jalen Hurts. Let's just take the other side. I'm talking about the wrong game. I do like Mixon, by the way, Pony, when you're talking about yours. But Jalen Hurts is going to have a big game, not in the air. I don't think so much, but on the ground, he's going to punch one in and I'll talk about his yardage later. But let's start with Kenneth Gainwell. This is the first time ever that a guy's got over 100 yards in the previous game and his total is 10 and a half. Yeah, he's not going to get the same amount of carries in this game. But last year when he played the Niners, he had 14 yards. He's going to get at least 11, right? So I'm going to take Gainwell over. My key to this is Jalen Hurts to have a big game on the ground. He played the Niners last year and ran for 82 yards. I'm buying this up. This is what's called an alternate rushing yards where I think he's going to get 80. You can pick 50, 60, 70. I think I'll get 80. Look at those odds, plus 430. That's why it jumps up to now my $20 is over 1900. Let's close it out with a couple more things yardage-wise. Christian McCaffrey, if he scores, maybe he busts the big one. I need him to get 80 yards as well. With a little bit of a banged up calf last week. I think he's good to go this week. He's going to get more usheds. He's going to get those 80 yards. Let's end it with Debo Samuel. I'm taking him in two different forms here. I think he's going to get the ball in the air, get 60 yards. But on the ground, there's also a rushing prop. His total for rushing is 21 and a half. The two times that he's played the Eagles, he's got 8 and 10 yards. If he goes under and the other seven things happen, almost $12,000, Lisa. Joe Mixon, by the way, I will add him in some way, shape, or form, but that's the other game. You dug deep on that eight-legged. I love it. A monster payout there. There's 20 bucks. Pony, you've got the AFC. Let's see what you can match. Give us your same-game parlay for the Bengals' chiefs matchup. I was largely ridiculed and dead-panned on the show last week because my parlay was too small. So I have heated the advice of the critics, and now I have a real Dave will get out of bed for this parlay. Joe Burrow, okay, I can't like the Bengals in this game and go against Burrow. He's going to be the engine. He's going to be the catalyst for a Bengals victory in Kansas City. I'm going to start with him going over his passing yards prop. So now let's do some deductive reasoning here. Let's use some logic. Let's apply some rational thought to this. If he's going to go over passing yards, he's going to throw the ball to his top targets. So let's add in Jamar Chase receiving yards over, and then my man T. Higgins, who had a great Super Bowl last year and is an underrated player, a number one wide receiver in his own right, I'm going to take him to go over. So now I'm going to throw in some anti-chiefs bets. Sorry, Lisa. If the Bengals are going to win this game, they've got a container controlled Travis Kelsey, who was a beast in the divisional round. But guess what? When they played earlier this year, he was under 60 receiving yards. Look at that prop for this game. It's 77 and a half. I'll go under that. I'm going to throw in a guy named Noah Gray. Why would Patrick Mahomes want to throw the ball to this guy? I don't know. He's anonymous. He's not very good. I'm going to go under the very low prop for him. And then the last one is, I'm going to throw in the game. So I don't think Isaiah Pacheco is going to get going on the ground. I'll go under with him. You add that up, Dave. Is this better? $20. You collect over 740. Is that okay with you? Does that work? That is better. And Lisa, one of the things about his play, he doesn't pick who's winning. Even though he's making it seem like since he has to win, chiefs could win and all that stuff could still happen, but he doesn't pick who's winning. And that's another one of the things about the Pony. Great stuff by you guys. Love the creativity. Look at that. And the massive odds right there. Dave or Pony or head to the Fandall Sports Book App. Do you. I say that every single week. Make your own same game. And watch your odds skyrocket the Fandall Sports Book App right now going on.

And just a couple of minutes left in this show. So let's get some quick picks from the Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP. I know what you guys care about. Philly fans, your Eagles are the favorite. Dave and James, give me your pick. Who is winning the Super Bowl? They were all chanting. There's a fan club there. Yeah, I'm going to go with the Bengals. I think the Bengals get through this week and then they're going to end up beating the Niners in the Super Bowl. I'm with you, Dave. I'm taking Joe, Joe Burrow, like I've been saying, all shows the Cincinnati bangle get back through the Super Bowl. And this time they win that thing. Okay. So let's same drill. This time we're going to move to the Super Bowl at you.  All right, Super Bowl MVP. Eagles are the favorite. So it makes sense. You're sitting there looking at Jaylen Hertz, the current favorite to win MVP. Pony, I'm bringing you in here for this one. Who do you like in this race? You guys know me. I don't like to just bet chalk with these. So give me Joe Mixon. If it's a big passing day, Burrow is going to win. Not the receivers. If they have a bunch of rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, Mixon will be the guy. They've wrote him before. 85 to one, Cole, on that prop. All right. Well, Lisa, you're going to like the way this one sounds, because I told you at the top that Patrick Mahomes in the postseason, 12 and three. Well, at season's end, 14 and three, plus three 30, not going to give you a whole bunch of return on your investment, but you'll be feeling pretty good as you walk away from that window with a few bucks in your hands. Patrick Mahomes, he's going to get it done. Second Super Bowl championship. You can count on it. All right. So here's the deal. I wore green because we're in Philadelphia and I wanted to give a nod to the Eagles and these awesome Philly fans who've been so welcoming. But really the truth is this, I am saving my red for next week when we are talking about the chiefs heading to the Super Bowl. I believe to play these Philadelphia Eagles, but that's just my take. All right. You guys again, thank you so much to live casino and hotel for having us here for welcoming our team and our show for doing the whole thing. Hey, the hotel, by the way, it is amazing. 12 stories.  If you can get here and enjoy the casino and enjoy this sportsbook, you will not be disappointed and that'll do it for us. It's a wrap.

Enjoy everybody. Good luck with your bets.


Welcome back. This is our 24th show in a series of shows entitled Rehabilitation Coming Soon, where we have been discussing the mass incarceration practices of the United States and those effect of those practices on the state of Hawaii. I am Aaron Wills. I'm a William S. Richardson Law School graduate and a research consultant for Abigail Kwanakola's Research Center. I'm also a paralegal for retired Judge Mike Towns' private mediation practice. Over the past four months, we have heard from numerous professionals in the community who are willing to discuss the criminal justice system and see the problem of mass incarceration from different perspectives. Today, we'd like to hear the perspective from a public health educator and restorative justice lawyer, Lauren Walker. Welcome and thank you for coming on our show, Lauren. A little bit background on our guest. Lauren, for the past 20 years, she has been developing and talking circles and studying them to address crime, trauma, and injustice. She directs the Hawaii Friends of Restorative Justice at www.hawaiifriends.org and is a senior Fulbright specialist sponsored by the U.S. State Department to provide restorative justice training internationally. She reviews articles for five academic journals and has authored over 60 publications. She has visited prisons throughout the world and has received national awards for her work in restorative justice and solution focused approaches. Our website is www.laurenwalker which is L-O-R-E-N-N-W-A-L-K-E-R dot com. Welcome, Lauren, and thank you for taking the time to come on the show. Thanks. Well, let's just, we're going to talk a little bit about restorative justice today. So let's start out with just talking about what led you to start doing your current work. Okay. Actually, I learned about restorative justice when I was studying for my public health degree after I had been a practicing attorney for about 10 years. And as I was studying for the degree, I was also doing cases. I'd come from being a deputy attorney general doing just regular civil litigation for the state of Hawaii. And I actually had a lot of cases where I defended prison guards in the state of Hawaii in lawsuits that had to do with the prisons, foster care, that kind of stuff. And after I quit doing that, I started getting the master's degree in public health, and I was taking cases from the family court to represent indigent people, indigent children, and adults who were charged with crimes and also neglect of children, you know, parent cases. And Judge Town actually was the senior judge then. And I was in public health, we learned about group process and about how that's the way to change people's behaviors is to get them to want to do that and to talk about it, talk about their values and, you know, motivation, stuff like that. And Judge Town, because I was talking also, you know, I was in court and these things were happening in court that were odd, Judge Town said, you know, Lauren, you should get into restorative justice. And that's how I first heard those two words was Michael Town. Okay. So, and that was over 20 years ago now. Well, he's been, you know, he's been championing that cause for a while. I know we talked a little bit before the show about this. What is restorative justice? Well, restorative justice, there is restorative justice philosophy, and there is something else called restorative practices. And this is like a new field that started in the 70s, but it goes, it has ancient roots to indigenous people's practices for reconciliation and conflict resolution. And it's, the restorative philosophy is basically that justice should be about healing. Justice isn't just retribution, punishment, and being angry at someone for bad behavior. It is restorative justice is that justice should really be about healing, and it should include the people who were hurt. And we should honor them and have autonomy, they should have autonomy and have a place at the table. So instead of a restorative, so then we get to restorative practices, which apply this philosophy of restorative justice. And basically the, the, and there's no, no one agrees on any of this stuff hardly.  What does justice mean? Everyone agrees about it. And with restorative justice too, people don't agree on it. But the, the person that I follow is a man named Howard Zaire, who is, he is probably one of, he is the most, one of the, in the United States he's definitely the most renowned restorative justice person. And he started this very early getting into this restorative justice work. And the way Howard describes it really fits with my background in public health, which is that restorative justice is, restorative practices are a set of questions that when there is a wrong doing, and that's another thing too, it's about wrong doing, when there's a wrong doing. So it's not just really when people are in a dispute and I'm arguing with you about you're playing your music too loud. I'm trying to go to sleep. This is a dispute we have. So restorative justice really is about where you were playing your music too loud and I came over and I took the iPad and threw it at you. And so then now there's a wrong doing. And so we're going to use a restorative practice to deal with this. And I want to do it. I'm taking responsibility. I recognize my role and what happened. And then there's a set of questions in there. Who was harmed? Who was harmed by what I did? How were they harmed? Whose obligation is it to fix this? And what do you need for me to do to repair the harm? So it would be stuff like if your eye got cut, maybe you need help to get to the hospital and me to pay your bills, stuff like that. Take your dog for a walk. Judge Town always brings up this point when he talks about restorative justice. He says the key is making the victim whole again. Trying to. It's like a cut. A crime and wrong doing. Especially a crime. I personally too, that's how I got into this work was I was the victim of a very serious attempted murder and attempted rape and assault that left me. I was in the hospital and had to have plastic surgery and it was a really really scary, huge event. Actually it changed my life for the good because I ended up going to law school. And I'm going to college even. I wasn't even in a college graduate. I mean a high school graduate. So it ended up being a good thing for me. Not a good thing but I made something good out of it. But anyway, it's really a serious violation and it's like when you're really seriously violated. I'm not saying every single thing is a serious violation but when you are, it's like a wound. You can heal a wound but you will always have a scar. Hopefully people can make something out of the scar positive, like tougher skin. Like in my case when I was almost murdered it did. It led to positive results for me. That's good. Let's talk about the restorative justice project that you're working on and have developed and studied. Okay, well right now we've done a lot. In the last 20 years we have done a lot. We have done actually I think we've done more than almost any other organ. I don't know anybody else who's done as much as we have done, the way friends of restorative justice. And we've done stuff in public housing, with schools, with the police department, with the courts. We have a project right now, a federal court. We've done a state court. But our big project we've been working on for 10 years now is a reentry planning process for people who are in prison. And we've done about 140 of these, we call them circles, hui kahi circles. It means a group and individual coming together and they make a plan. And it's a restorative process and we've done a lot of research and we've had 600 people participate in these circles. So the circle takes place in the prison. The person applies for it. It's only for people who do want to take responsibility for any wrongdoing that they did and how their incarceration affected their family. So we have actually had two cases, one here in Hawaii that was written about and it's in a published paper that was recently published about a woman who was innocent, who had one of these. And she was able to talk about her injustice and also she felt like she had treated her children badly. She was a teenager who had a lot of problems. So this reentry program is really big.  Children who have participated in them in the circles find that they have experienced healing. They've been able to cope with traumatic events. So they've become more optimistic after they've had a circle. And they've had less rumination, which is the psychology word for thinking about the event over and over again. They've been able to let go of the hardship of losing a parent to prison. And then we just did research too on recidivism and we do have a significant we have significantly less repeat crime for people who have these circles. I'm not saying that they totally changed somebody, but we did a very good study with Janet Davidson at Chaminade Independent Evaluation. We do have the people who have these circles compared to people who wanted a circle but didn't get one. We're not funded hardly. And then compared to the state's rate, three years after leaving prison, the people who had these reentry circles do have less recidivism. Well, that's exactly what we're trying to reduce. Yeah, exactly. There's a lot of issues that come up because recidivism rate is so high. We had Senator Willis Barrow on the show and he was talking about what he suggests is what's called a reentry program, a reentry center. He wants to build a reentry center where people, they can build up the skills as you're about to go out into the community again, better employment, employable people. But he was off of the boat of building a new prison and he doesn't want to do it at all. Maybe either. Well, it's interesting you bring that up because most of our show we kind of just want to ask people, why do you feel that way? Just because given OCCC is made in 1913, 16, the place is dilapidated. We had an attorney, Jack Tanaki on here who said that the conditions in OCCC right now are at crisis level. So what do we do? Well, we've got too many people in our Hawaii prisons. We have, according to Kat Brady who is an expert in statistics too, 74% of the people in the Hawaii state prisons, and we have about 6,000 people, 74% are class C felons who have done things like violated parole and the stuff for parole violation is like, I said I was working 40 hours but I was really only working 28 or 30. I moved and didn't tell you other residual, that you find a pipe with some residual drug on it. You know, these crimes, we don't need all these people in prison. When I first started working in the Hawaii prisons, I was in college at UH and I worked at the women's prison under Olamana, which is now the children's prison and there was only like 20 women. I knew all their names in the whole state. That's all there was. I mean on the outer islands there was probably some people too, but today there's like across the street now is where the women's prison is where we're doing projects and there's like 250 people 300 people in there. So we have too many people in prison and the state of Hawaii right now, I have not heard any plan for decreasing prison population, which is what we need to do. We need to do more of this re-entry I like the idea of a re-entry center. We need to do more of these talking circles to help people re-establish bonds and relationships that have been hurt and bring healing to the families. Something that is really that your listeners might be interested in knowing is that there is this one of the most accepted concepts in criminology. It's called the victim offender overlap and that is where people who are victimized sometimes unfortunately because they have been treated so unjustly, they turn to bad behavior and become offenders. And we have I would love for everyone to know the people that I know in the prisons, these people, their life stories it's astounding. I brought people in who have experience working with child welfare for years and lawyers and guardian of light and they're just blown away by the level of trauma that people have suffered who are in prison. So we need to stop that. We need to bring healing and I think restorative justice can do that. I agree and rehabilitation is something we've been driving hard for this show because another thing that Kat Brady brought up was the amount of simple drug users we have in and that rehabilitation really comes down to them the help that they need and there's not enough programs. There's just not enough out there and so they sit and they either get worse or they don't get the help. Okay, well we will be right back with Lauren Walker. My name is Aaron Wills and this is Rehabilitation Coming Soon. Hi, I'm Steven Phillip Katz. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in Hawaii and I'm the host of Shrink Wrap Hawaii which is on Tuesdays at 3 o'clock. Have a great summit.  Hi, I'm Stacey Hayashi and you can catch me on Mondays at 11 on Think Tech Hawaii. Stacey to the rescue. See you then. Aloha everybody. My name is Mark Shklav. I'd like you to join me for my program Law Across the Sea on ThinkTechHawaii.com. Aloha. Hello, I'm Maryann Sasaki. Welcome to Think Tech Hawaii where some of the most interesting conversations in Honolulu go on. I have a show on Wednesdays from one to two called Life in the Law where we discuss legal issues politics, governmental topics, and a whole host of issues. I hope you'll join me. Welcome back. I'm Aaron Wills. This is Rehabilitation Coming Soon and we are sitting here with our guest Lauren Walker. Okay, Lauren, well let's talk a little bit. How does, you know, you mentioned it a little bit, but how does justice help people heal and rehabilitate? I mean, how does your program actually work out those details? Well, people feel really uncomfortable. Like in my case, I'll just talk about my case, when I got assaulted and went through this really horrendous event, my friends didn't talk about it a lot and my family didn't talk, people didn't talk about it and it's really funny because years later one of my other friends had heard a rumor and I had a daughter, when it happened I was a single parent and for some reason he thought that my daughter was the child of the rape and you know what I mean? It was like there was no discussion about it so being able to talk about it is really important for people who want to do it. People who don't want to, I'm not saying ever, never force anybody, but giving people an opportunity and most people over half of the world really want to have some kind of discussion. So I think talking about it and processing and having the opportunity to have your emotions out, a lot of times people think like I don't know if you've ever done, I don't know if it's ever happened to you, but when you feel something and someone will say, oh we shouldn't feel like that, well a restorative justice process never is like that. It's always, everyone is hugely respected and however you feel is that is respected and so I think it's really important for people to have that opportunity. I think Americans especially, we don't have a lot of emotional intelligence training and we don't talk about like little kids at school, your friend doesn't like you, it's just like you should share that Erin, share your truck with her. It's like let's just talk about he doesn't like me, let's talk about this, how I feel okay, we don't always get what we want. So I think having the discussion, the dialogue, the talking, circle is really important. Absolutely and especially when the traumatic event has happened. I'm glad that you brought up your own story. When I was 19 I was stabbed in the face and the chest and you can kind of see the scar on the face. It was a fight and we were kind of at a party and me and my friend got cornered in a kitchen and so we had to fight our way out of it and as I was walking home and I didn't even know because I was so drunk and my friend was like man you're really injured and I was like I am and so I saw my reflection in the mirror and I got home and there's my cheek was hanging off, I could see all my teeth. I got stabbed in the chest too and then I started freaking out and it was four hours of surgery, staples. At that time I was a full-ride scholarship athlete at University of Nebraska on the football team and we were defending national champions so I went down there and I'm zipper faced. I have 44 stitches here four staples in my chest and just the look that I got was just terrified. They were terrified of me.  I'm like my friend did not do this to me, friends don't stab you in the face but I never talked about it. I didn't talk about it for four years because I had to get out of there and once I got out of school in one incident where I actually could sit down and talk about it and it's amazing what happens when you can talk about the things that really affect someone personally and deeply and personally. And a lot of these people who are in jail never get that opportunity because what happens is they go through the process of this criminalization process, they end up behind bars. They become the bad ones. Right and then they want to tell everybody how they ended up there and no one wants to listen. So I'm glad that these circles are actually giving them an opportunity to kind of open up and heal because that's what the whole point is. How can restorative justice help prevent crime? Well I think by the healing because see people are also victims feel they can have healing from it and then the other piece is that the person who did the wrong doing, they hear the person face to face. It's not a judge looking down at them telling him how come you did this and you're bad and everyone's bad at him or her and instead they can hear someone. That's what I noticed in Family Court when I first got into this stuff was little kids were like because they were getting in trouble all the time they became very self-absorbed. Everything was about me protecting me you know and I'd be like I'm a parent of three kids you know I'd be asking my clients you know dude look what you did to that lady over there do you want to say they'd be like Lauren you don't know what it's like for me they just didn't have room to because they were so afraid and that's part of the problem with our current criminal justice system because it's so punitive people don't have space they don't have room to develop empathy because they're so protecting themselves you know and so that's a great thing and it helps people and there's been research on this brain research with psychopaths that it has increased empathy. Well as far as you know the Hawaii prison system and we talked about this you know with the reentry center what are some other ideas that maybe that you're working on or that you have that the Hawaii prison system could do to increase the rehabilitation aspect of the prison system. Well first of all they could have a plan for decreasing the prison population instead of just a plan and putting like 16 million dollars into planning a Maui prison you know that money could have been put into rehabilitation for people please and so they could have a plan for reducing prison population and using these restorative practices and doing more work for a low you know and if we all the money we're taking to build the new prison which I understand from the state legislature from a resolution is going to be one and a half to two billion dollars that money could go into rehabilitation you know it's not a panacea restorative justice not a panacea it's not going to fix everybody there's going to be somebody who has this and who goes out we've already had people do bad stuff again it's not going to be a cure all right you know there's going to be people who mess up on parole and whatever but we can't just give up we can't throw the baby out with the bathtub or whatever that's saying you know we got to keep trying and giving people the opportunity to learn and get better and we can't keep these class C felons 35% of them imprisoned that money could be used for rehabilitation have you talked to Bob Merce at all about his trip to Norway yes I have and I've been to Norway I've been to Halden prison myself some years ago I've been to prisons actually all over the world and I even stayed in a prison in Brazil I slept in one my husband enjoyed that and it was a restorative prison it was an amazing experience what is your feelings about the prison it's just some in Norway because it's way better yes yes it is very better they encourage relationship with the jailer and the person who is in prison people don't wear uniforms they wear street clothes they're treated humanely they're not just a number and it's not like a metal building with a box no it's very no it is they have they do have television a flat screen TV yes I've seen it I was impressed and I know it's such a radical jump from where we're at we're actually you know I'll tell you honestly and I visited prisons all over the world except Africa and Australia and our Hawaii state prisons are only worse than Indonesian ones that I've seen so far the Indonesian but Hawaii state prisons are really bad compared to Italy Spain Brazil the Brazilian one I saw I mean the state prison in Brazil is probably more like Hawaii state prisons I saw it a little bit it's probably more like Hawaii state prisons but the one I saw was a faith based restorative prison how does Hawaii like compare to other states well I haven't visited a lot of other states California I've seen a little bit but I do compare it to the federal system I've seen the federal system which is a lot a lot better it is so much better yeah they just put a lot more professionalism into the people who work there they get really good training there's a lot more support for rehabilitation I think it's just completely different they have educational programs higher education you know it's not like ours what we do I agree well let's talk quickly before we end here what could the Hawaii public schools do to start helping prevent crime okay they could start having less zero tolerance less three strikes more opportunities to learn when Erin is hurt you know we can bring in the people who hurt him and have these talking circles it doesn't take a lot of money there is no need for hundreds of thousands of dollars to start these restorative programs we have been willing and have contacted the DOE in the past Pat Hamamoto the former superintendent was kind of we almost had her interested and she laughed but you know we're always open to helping any school that wants to start a restorative program it doesn't take a lot okay and so what about individuals I mean if they're going to apply restorative justice in their daily lives how would someone go about doing that if there's some kind of principles that they can follow okay well the first thing I think is to have respect for someone who's someone who's been hurt to have respect for them and if they're talking about their feelings don't jump in and say oh you shouldn't feel like that you know don't ever say that let someone let them let them feel how they feel and don't ask why so much like well why do you feel like that why did that you know we're so like want to know why it's like you know what people don't know why you know I don't know why the guy who hit you he probably I don't know why I was drunk right I mean you know why is not so important is important is what are we going to do about this what can we do to help Erin or what can we do to help Lauren when she got attacked you know what can we do to help things what can we do to make things better so look at it like that so if you're a parent and all of us have some kind of relationship usually with kids we can do that when kids do and kids naturally do wrong things okay that's another thing the schools can admit and see kids are going to do wrong things children are going to misbehave teenagers especially and teenagers have the highest rate of rehabilitation even from the most serious crimes that they commit they have the highest rate of rehabilitation and all of us have done stuff I don't know any adult that never did anything wrong as a child you know in a teenager so so have a little bit more respect and and ask what we can do to make things right and I believe in that I mean you know as far as the rehabilitation as far as teenagers go I was I mean I wasn't an easy teenager and I got around about 15 or 16 I kind of you know my mom was constantly she had me swimming since I was like 6 years old so I was a competitive swimmer my whole life I ended up so this is the long story short is this when I was 14 15 I told my mom I don't want to swim no more she's like okay well then you're going to get the job and so she took me down to an old folks home and I had to apply and I got the job and they put me in the kitchen and so I had to serve food and then clean up after them and then it was the worst job of course ever and after about a month of doing that I came home okay I want to go back to swimming I'll swim I do whatever you want me to do and I ended up winning state being a captain got a bunch of scholarship offers but then I played football and then I got a scholarship offer that I accepted for that so you know teenagers can go down so many different paths yes and you know I don't have a teenager yet my son but he's getting there and you know you have to look forward to yes and what you have to mean the main thing you have to do is you have to listen my dad I think one of the main criticisms I have of him among many was that he just wasn't a very good listener you know he was a hard 1950s kind of attitude I bring home the bacon I want to come home don't bother me you know you cook the dinner kind of stuff pick up after me and I just I don't want to be like that I don't want to listen I want to listen to my kids and I think it starts with your own attitude so if you have the attitude that you want to listen you will stop and listen to everything your kid tells you and so my son and I have a really close relationship he was kind of giving me the heat this morning because I went to the gym late last night he's like you're going to take me to the gym tonight aren't you dad so you know so it's just being able to listen to what they're telling you and to really respond to it and I think that's what you can do to be a good parent and a good individual and nothing is permanent your feelings are never permanent if you worry about your children you know just hang in there and nothing is permanent and stay optimistic stay optimistic and keep your faith well thank you for helping us with this show and talk about this subject and help us continue to help us to continue to keep this discussion going until another show of rehabilitation coming soon we hope to continue our discussion of the criminal justice system and the fact the effect of mass incarceration on the state of Hawaii very soon so stay tuned coming up next is Sustainable Hawaii with Kirsten Turner thank you

Today in our minimal Godot tutorial, we're going to fix blurry pixel art I've imported one of these ships from this project here. Also, I've mentioned in the past all the Scripts and assets from these tutorials will be on my get lab page. There'll be a link in the description You can download that there. Let's go ahead and jump into Godot. I'm gonna say 2d scene and What I'm going to do now is Drag in this spaceship art and you can see it's a little blurry because it's pixel art And what you want to do is to fix that because by default it's going to try to smooth out the pixels for art But in pixel art, you don't want them smooth. I have my image selected here. I'm going to go to import Presets pixel Reimport and you can see now that it is now pixelated and not blurry So that's our minimal tutorial today for fixing blurry sprites for pixel art So that was so short. I could probably do it again. Let me go ahead and set this back. So Reimport Select your image go to import presets pixel Reimport and now your pixel art is fixed and even if I drag in more of them, it has fixed it for that image Thanks for watching visit films by Chris calm. That's Chris the K There's a link in the description and I hope that you have a great day


Hey everyone, this is me here for the love from Kevlar Afghanistan and you are watching Trucker Josh Vlogs on YouTube Good morning everybody How you doing? How you doing? Diesel we're going home today How does that make you feel? I know me too. That's his excited face if you're wondering Hard to tell the difference, but I know my boy Just turn this off. Let's get everything ready to go here And then we will be off to the races get my hat on which give you some fresh water We should give you some fresh water though All right, we're gonna stop in Balgoni try and get some of these bugs off the windshield just got a message saying that my Load has been cleared right on right on release the brakes let's just break and Start moving. Let's start giving you something to look at lights are on Gonna give the trailer a little tug test just to make sure it's not gonna fall off. I Know you don't gotta do this every morning, but I would recommend it.  It doesn't matter how many times you double-check it The more the better We can grab us go-go juice here in Balgoni, Saskatchewan Balgoni baloney Fueler on up. I'm just above quarter tank left. So I'll fuel up here and the next fuel up will be in the states on Monday Little better price down there Breaks are a little wet little squeaky today Keep my ears open for that and see if that gets any worse Manitoba sign up here looks like we got a new one. Oh No, what did they do Manitoba welcome bienvenue. Where's my welcoming stampede? Here comes the first one Hey Frank. Hey Frank. Okay. He's on the way back Quick hello Little guys fast Hello Diesel Wow I Got a cow So we got home not quite enough time to mow the lawn today, so I'll have to do it next weekend Britt took care of the front yard here already So don't need to worry about that And the bonfire side over here. Did I lock this? Yes, we're locked out can't get back in good Yeah, and we moved our bonfire pit.  I've got to have that load in Wisconsin Tuesday, so I'll drive all day Monday deliver that Tuesday morning, hopefully and Tuesday or Wednesday, I have a real I think it's Wednesday. Oh Really, I have two pickups. I got a pickup one kind of like a boom truck in Thought I heard a door opening Creepy a boom truck in Wisconsin around Milwaukee, Wisconsin Then I have another pickup in West St. Paul of like a Some kind of little utility trailer of some kind it's like a security camera or security trailers go lights and cameras on it I think it things like a mobile security. I Don't know what it is. We'll see what it is on Wednesday And then we come back up here for Thursday, and then I'll be back home for the weekend next weekend So that's our next week planned out just going dipping down into Wisconsin and back I kind of miss the the trips. I keep saying that I miss the trips further south We just we don't have any routes on flatbeds going down there our van divisions down there in Georgia And down the south up the East Coast from New England and everything all the time Kind of miss those routes sometimes, you know But it was always guaranteed if I went down to Georgia and went like up on a route up to Newfoundland or something Up the East Coast to probably do that twice Guaranteed I'd be gone for three or four weeks Which was great when I was single right didn't really make a difference No one to come home to And we'll stay out there and make money right but now that We've established a homestead here. I'm married. That's the biggest thing. I'm married now have a family at home and We're trying to grow our family It doesn't make much sense for me to be gone three weeks at a time It's a little bit long. So since I've gotten on to flatbeds. I've changed divisions It's I did this Basically to be home more because on flatbeds like you've probably noticed over the last couple of years I'm home every Three to four to ten days usually I'm rarely gone for two weeks at a time a week is Even a long time but about average I guess and it's been working out really well for me, you know Actually make more money with flatbeds too than I do on drive-in so that works out too and I kind of like it more You know another drive-ins. I would always say that I have so much respect for the drivers who were out there on On flatbeds because I don't think a lot of the people in the cars driving down the road realize that all those tarped loads All those chains all those strides. That's all the driver that does it It's a lot of extra responsibility on the driver on flatbeds.  So it's a It's a little bit more of a challenge and I like the challenge. I welcome the challenge I like to always challenge myself and you know, it's kind of neat, you know kind of a sense of pride rolling down the road with a you know Expensive complicated load behind you. That was hard to tie down and showing it off going down the highway. That's my load back there There's that and like I said the the biggest plus about it is being home more often and Getting paid more now. I'm not saying it's like that with every company. Okay. Don't don't take what I say and Apply it to anywhere else because it could be different. Every company's different It's just the way ours works and the way my routes have worked and maybe I just got lucky. I don't know But I'm enjoying it. This is the next morning. You can tell I'm just waking up. I haven't had my coffee yet I made the coffee. I haven't had the coffee yet. What's wrong with me? Let's go get our coffee out here Why am I sitting on the porch without a coffee? So boys, so we're gonna end this vlog though. Okay The end of log to start tomorrow's right not gonna be much to film tomorrow. So we're gonna have to make use of everything we can Thanks for watching today everybody. I'm gonna end the vlog here and we'll get my coffee and start tomorrow's day So tune in tomorrow. Like I said, we have a family reunion.  I just want Everybody I'll tell you about it. We have family coming from all over the world sort of so it's big deal I'll talk to you tomorrow or the next day. Take care. We'll be back on the road soon Hi Josh, it's Josh from Lakeville, Minnesota And you all are watching trucker Josh blogs on YouTube


A lot of guys, they're like, no, I'm scared. I'm not going to do that. I'm sometimes scared of heights, but the job requires it. So we're going to jump out the bird anyways. Don't be scared and just send it. So today we're conducting jump ops and free fall ops, jumping from high altitude, pulling at low altitude, and landing on the drop zone. That's definitely more fun free fall. You can do all these maneuvers, front flip, side flip. The strain benefits the Marine Corps because it trains reconnaissance marines to be inserted into any type of environment where they normally couldn't get into. So in a real world scenario, we would utilize these jumps for multitude of tasks, mainly jumping in to perform reconnaissance and surveillance of an objective area, or jumping in to perform some type of precision raid. I've been in recon for 22 years now. Just always wanted to challenge myself and move towards that next higher rung. And recon seemed to be the next higher rung 22 years ago. So that's what I did.
