Stevenson gets the 15-7 win over Randolph-Macon here today at Mustang Stadium. Glenn Clark, MC McFadden with Coach Kathy Rayleigh. Coach, after two tough games against really good teams, how good did it feel to get this team back out of the field today and put together sort of the emphatic performance that you guys did? Well, a lot of people always question why I scheduled those kinds of games early on. And in particular, the first half is a big reason why. We played two hard teams in the beginning of the season. We play a team that's very equal to us in skill and speed on the third game. And here we are. We're so ready and we're so prepared to really dominate in every aspect of the game in the first half. It's a great opportunity to play deep into the bench today and get a lot of people experience on the coldest day in the history of the world. No doubt. There's four people in New England playing today. Oh, I feel bad for them. So I'm happy that we got to really see some things that we've been trying to practice, work on, and make sure we're sending the message to the players that there are certain things we need to do to win and to play that sharp. I could tell at our shoot-around this morning it was going to be a long day for Randolph Mayhem. That's a good feeling. Yeah, I could tell. We were just talking about it. So I had the opportunity to talk with you for quite a while yesterday about preparation for this game, your opponent, et cetera. One of your areas of concern was the draw. However, I don't know what you did in practice yesterday, but you seem to have taken care of that. Well, I think that we've had extensive discussions. And Coach Levinson has really done a ton of investigative work into what's happening via film, what they were bringing to the table. And I think that he put the matchups out there that were working for us. And I think in the second half when they made a few shifts on what they were doing, they went from tall to fast, we probably should have echoed that. And we'll continue to work on that and look at the numbers. I'm a very statistically-driven coach. So we'll make sure that we're addressing when those switches are in place that we're ready to counter them with our own super-quick, fast, good, ground-wall people. And you have that. Yeah, I'm going to give you the question I gave MC in the second half. Obviously, they scored the last five of this one. It seemed from up here like you guys were kind of purposefully running certain sets, certain plays in the second half. Are you frustrated they scored the last five, or did you think that was more of a case of, hey, we were trying to use this for maybe some practice types of situations? I'm never happy to see, no matter what we're trying to do. I mean, obviously we're not trying to wear the clock down without taking a shot. We took a lot of shots in that time. You know, I wanted to continue scoring, but I wanted to be deliberate in how we were doing it. So I think that that was part of the reason. But I think that getting scored on five times was that I didn't like at all. And that was we got slow-footed. We were swinging. We had four yellow cards today. If we want to win the close games, we are not doing ourselves any favors in doing that. So we'll have quite a long talk on Monday with the girls to make sure that we're finishing the game the way we started. The first two games, we didn't start fast. And then we ended up getting better as the game went on.  A great team doesn't slack off. And we really did today. So I don't know how much was the weather or were we tired because we were playing a different style defense. We'll figure it out. We'll get to the bottom of it, and we'll correct it and move on. And we're easy to go through that when you win by eight goals. Oh, yeah. I mean, we had running clock in the first half. So when you have running clock in the first half, you can play a few more people, and you can try a few different things, which we certainly did. All right. It's going to be about a month before we see you again. That's right. We're on the road this year so much. All right. Biggest goals for the next month is you go on the road, you go out to Colorado, the spring break trip, biggest goals for this team between now and when conference play starts. We have to, in this upcoming week and next week, we have to get good at attacking versus a backer, which is one of the reasons we played a backer today because we're going to see it in quite a few teams up and coming. So that is one goal, to be a great attacking team versus a backer, which we didn't have in the first game. Second thing would be we need to put 60 minutes together and how we do that. I'm not quite sure yet. I'm going to have to really look at it when we're trying to figure out what to do at practice, but we've got to play 60 minutes tough. No matter what the score is, every time that ball goes back to the draw, it should feel like 0-0. All right. That's the goal. We will see you in a month. Enjoy it. Get some wins, and we will see you in conference play. Let's hope we have all wins when we see you next time. Good, thanks. Kathy Rayleigh after Stevenson wins today 15 to 7.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalist ICIJ releases the Pandora Papers, which exposes financial secrets of rich and powerful and implicates 10 Nigerian politicians. And AROHA Group tells Northern Governors to seal any shop closed in solidarity with iPops' sit-at-home order. And again, something is happening in Abia State. This is Plus Politics, a diary and a poll. The Pandora Papers are kasha for about 11.9 million files, which shows the secret deals and heathen assets of some of the world's richest and most powerful people have been revealed in the biggest trove of leaked offshore data in history. Ten Nigerian politicians have been named in the scandal for flouting laws and legislations as they hide assets. Among some of these are Governor Bubakaba Guru of Kepi State and Pitalbi, an ex-governor of Anambra State. No less than 10 Nigerian politicians have also been implicated in the Pandora Papers, at least eight African countries featured in the document. Well, joining us to break this down is Ladikot Johnson, a legal practitioner. Kofi Battels, a broadcast journalist and Aroha Obo, a foreign affairs expert. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for joining us. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right. I'm going to start with you, Aroha, because it's not just a Nigerian situation. It's an international situation. And as I stated in the opener, we have several countries, including African countries, and Nigeria has 10 politicians and highly placed individuals in that particular expose. But let's start with the guys on the international scene. We see, not necessarily directly, but we hear that Putin is one way or the other linked to some of these leaks. We've seen the Czech Republic Prime Minister. We've seen former Prime Minister, British Prime Minister Tony Blair. We've seen the King of Jordan.  Let's start by looking at the personalities of these people and what this could do, the damage that it could do to the statusists. Yeah, it's remarkable. When you compared these previous releases that have happened, there was the Panama Papers, you remember, a couple of years ago. They also had the Paradise, or Kairat by the ICI, JL, so too. So in context, many of the things that they've put out, many of those names you find there have also been previous releases which have been put before this, this put out before this Pandora box. We're going to go Panama and Pandora box. So you have many of those names replaying and repeating themselves. And what many people have argued, which I'm sure that the questions will help explain to us is the difference in whether they've exactly done what is illegal or the hypocrisy, like former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has been mentioned, saying that, for example, you've been very, very loud and outspoken about people, the rich exploiting the systems and not being able to pay the taxes. And then at the end of the day, you go and then you find a way to not pay the taxes that you should pay in the 6.2 million pounds of real estate investment where he's been mentioned. So those are all the things that also took a lot of interest in the African leaders names that we mentioned. We have the Kenyan president, who's been mentioned. And interestingly, what he said directly was that he's doing something now, when he gets the opportunity, without the opportunity to respond, what he thinks is going to be an opportunity to look at the transparency behind the entire thing. The sort of sticks to the sort of approach he wants to go around this. And if you listen to many people in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, they seem, you know, we'll play along with what the president is saying. He's not saying that what he did was right. He's saying that give me the opportunity to explain what exactly has happened. And it's an interesting angle that is taken. A lot different from people like the Gabonese president, Ali Bongo, whose family has been in power through his father, Omar Bongo, in the 60s until now. His name is mentioned together with neighboring Congolese president, Denis Sasungueso. These are people who've run shadowy government for a long while. They've been in government for multi-decades. And I don't see how this will in any way change the perception within their people.  So it's interesting to see a number of African leaders who have been mentioned. There's a former prime minister of Mozambique who was indicted before he was removed. He's also found his name in there. There's a prime minister of Cote d'Ivoire also too, who's also been mentioned in this interesting list. But it would be good to see what happens in the coming days, which were very important personalities will be put there. But by and large, I tried to compare and contrast the sort of elected political office holders you find on that list in Africa compared to the rest of the world. It still appeals in comparison. You probably want to see more going by the lack of transparency with many African governments. You should find more names there than what we're seeing. As journalists, we report these things and it was a group of journalists, about 600 of them, who came together to put out this expose. Now, looking at, just like picking up from where our goggle has stopped, most of the African leaders, he's talking about the level of transparency. Now, we see that there's a scramble of sorts to try to gag or do some damage control as to the leak that has already happened. But do you see any move from African presidents whatsoever? Do you see this maybe happening in the case, for example, a Jacob Zuma who's facing some case of financial misappropriation and on other matters. Do you see that in other African countries, including Nigeria, taking it up for real or are the leaders just going to let it blow over from experience? I think that what we're seeing from the West, countries outside Africa, they seem to have the values they have in those parts of the world. Where the leaders are accountable to the people and where they are asked and expected to come out and give explanations. Sometimes they apologize to the public and sometimes they also resign voluntarily. But it would be interesting to see if African leaders who have been fingered and named the Pandora papers, almost said Panama papers like my colleague on the other side. It would be interesting to see if African leaders who told that line. Historically and traditionally, we've not been known to have leaders who resigned voluntarily. Historically and traditionally, we've not known to have leaders who give a two cents about what the people think. Even the outrage that has greeted such a revelation is not as much as you have in the Western part of the globe. So I would be surprised if we see some of the levels of explanation and alabies and we've been getting. But in terms of denials, of course, we've seen that. For instance, Peter will be the former governor of Anambra State. Then we said most recently, the vice presidential running mate in the presidential election. He said that he was not expected to reveal to the Court of Conduct Bureau his assets, which he shared with other people, and that this company had other persons on board. It wasn't just him. That's Gabriella Investment, which, by the way, is registered in his daughter's name. This is the excuse he has given. Peter, he's a gentleman. But if you're talking about the bongos in Gabon, the history of their expenditure and expenses is well documented. The man's son is vice president of the country. He's a playboy on Instagram, and he does not spare any effort in showing his lavish lifestyle on Instagram, just like Hosh Gopi did. And if he cared about what people thought, he would not be showing such lavish and extravagant lifestyle.  So he's also been fingered and investigated in France by some French lawyers and judges over some corruption allegations where even his expensive sports cars that are kept in France, he uses that anytime he gets to, I'm talking about bongo, anytime he gets to France, those were taken away out of a judge. So he vehemently denied this. So we'll have the denials. Well, in terms of any contrition, I don't think African leaders really feel they can be held to account by their people. But of course, I'll expect denials, yes. I mean, we've seen instances. I mean, Jacob Zuma is one of the instances I gave earlier. But I think in early 2020, we had the same issue in I think Algeria, if I'm not mistaken, where the leader and his daughter had same issues of financial misappropriation and it's been followed through. But when we say that we're not sure that African countries or African leaders might do this, is it because of the people themselves not being able to push for it? Or is it that maybe the ones that have, one way or the other been brought to book is because of consistency from maybe outside countries outside, or maybe people in diaspora pushing for it to happen?  You know, by the number of revelations we've had in Nigeria, you know, some will say 10, you know, from the Nigerians, you know, named in the Pandora paper week or the publication. You'd have expected, you know, a lot of public concentration on this, a lot of public condemnation and even just one extensive protests, if that is possible. We've had several Pandora papers in Nigeria. There's a lot of it. I mean, people have been filmed, stashing foreign currencies into their clothes. People have been filmed, you know, offering bribes.  There's several Pandora papers in the last few years in the current democratic dispensation in Nigeria. Nothing has happened.  And I mean, you talk to the average man on the street, he would even justify it by saying, oh, if the man who is my brother or my snowman who is my sister gets into a position of authority in government and does not amass wealth for himself so he can share to his family and his village people, then he has failed. So it's almost a way of life. So you're saying, so you're saying, boss online that we encourage, we aid and abate these people and the corruption that is going on in our country? I'm saying that civil society, you know, the media can throw some light on it. We're going to talk about it for some time, and it will go away. It will go away. I was just telling someone about this issue, saying we have corruption in every part of the world. The difference is that they have systems and laws that are effective and deal with people. So if you have anything corrupt going on, you want to think twice about it because when the law catches up with you, the law will be no respect of a person. Well, in Nigeria, what are we going to expect? In La Cote d'Ivoire, what can we expect? The president of La Cote d'Ivoire, Watara, was part of a delegation that visited Dumbuya, who is now just been sworn in as the head of state of the Republic of Guinea, to tell him that he needed to hand over power back to a democratic president and that he needed to step aside. Now, this is the same man who went against the country's constitution, tinkered with it, and ran for office for a third time with the support of France. So Africa in general, we have laws that are not effective. I mean, presidents are able to tinker with the constitution, and that was what's going on in Guinea, by the way, to tinker with the constitution to favor themselves. They're able to appoint their children as vice-president, their children as ministers. We can go to Angola where, for years, the Doshantos family has been known to be very wealthy. I mean, the daughter of the president then, Doshantos, she is one of the wealthiest women in the world. That was the country I was referring to, was Angola, not Altaria. Yes, Angola. Angola, yes, Angola, yes, yes. And you know, I mean, these are families that were not wealthy and became wealthy when they were in power. So this is Africa for you, and the people who accept it as that, they would also try to see how they can give themselves a piece of the cake. Okay. To you, Mr. Johnson, it's very interesting that, you know, we're having this conversation, and everybody seems to be sounding very alike, and there's not a dint of optimism out there that we can hold on to, even as I've pointed to some of the things that have happened. But this is just as Orr said, we've had Panama papers, we've had so many papers. So what difference does this make for us in the country? Now, before now, we were talking about the difference between it being illegal and it being unethical. Let's draw a line between, you know, unethical and illegal. Yes. Putting money in tax havens to save yourself from paying taxes or what have you, might not necessarily be illegal. Okay. Now, it would most times be unethical. Sometimes it would be illegal, depending on the tax system you have in your own country. Okay. And then, of course, the other question is how was the money made in the first place? Most of them illegally. I agree. So, some wealthy families, let's forget the politicians now, some wealthy families, like the King of Jordan. Exactly. Some wealthy families will keep doing that. It will not end. They'll keep doing that. Why do they keep doing, because, you know, you see the simple person, and this is the, I think this is the debate in the U.S. right now between those who follow the former presidential aspirant, what's his name? Ben, what's his name now? Presidential aspirant? Yeah, presidential candidate for the Democrats. He's been pushing that the rich pay taxes, but we see that most... Okay, Benny Sanders. Benny Sanders. Now, he's insisting that these rich people pay taxes, and it's almost the same thing that they're pushing right now in the U.K. So, if the rich keep taking their monies to tax havens because they can, and the common man or the middle class is continuously drained of their monies, isn't that both illegal and unethical? No, it might be unethical, but I assure you if it were illegal, whenever it's illegal, the American government will clamp down immediately on the person. So, most times it is the rich, the wealthy families that can afford the accountants and the lawyers and the consultants and can hide their money. They do this because they want the money to last through the generations. And for instance, in Africa, it would keep happening because Africa is still a place where some governments are uncertain. So, while Africa is poor, while we're... No, Africa is not poor. What we are. Africa is wealthy. We're wealthy. We have natural... Well, we are poor. For example, last year in Nigeria, I was going to help me out. We think that we're rich, but we're poor as we speak. We're still borrowing. We're asking for help. But then we're sending our monies to fund other economies and build it while us are suffering. Exactly. What it is Marianne is at, it is clear. When you look at Gabon, you look at Nigeria, you look at Angola, you look at these countries. You may say the people there are poor, but the countries are wealthy. Now, Nigeria is a wealthy country. It has been mismanaged. It is borrowing.  Break it down. If you break it down. So, it's a matter of management. Or you can't tell me that with the gas reserves we have, with the crude we still have, that we're a poor country, with the human resources we have, 200 million people, we're not a poor country. We're the people that are poor. And going back to your question, it will continue this way and the whole thing will go away because of the people. The people fail to hold the leadership to account. We've become normal. We almost expect it. Most people will tell you only 10 Nigerian politicians only.  So, that is the sad situation. Unfortunately. Let me come back to you because I want us to talk about the two politicians. Let's not forget that in this report, we're yet to see the other Nigerians and their names. But we have seen two names. And I want us to examine the personalities of these two people. Until last week, former Governor Peter Albee is talking about how to restructure Nigeria, how to reposition us for progress and this and that. And now, his name is appearing on this report. And he's given us some, he's argued some deniability and said that he didn't think it was necessary to have certain information with the CCB. But what does this do looking at, because we know that he's had political ambitions and still will have political ambitions. And don't forget, this is a time in the country's life where people are pushing for a southern presidency or some leadership from the South, whether it be South East or South South. What does this do to his image and his political career in the country? Will it even brush, as much as brush it? Well, interestingly, he even did grant an interview to the Prime Young Times who collaborated with the ICI and the ICI from the Nigerian side. And it was interesting to hear his comments, you know, he said, look, I did not take Anambra State money. His only concern was in his international affiliations how he viewed. And he sort of believes that the people who can look at its track record as a governor of Anambra State, which he says it is, untainted. And I'm sure you can publicly, for him to be able to take that sort of position, probably knows what he's talking about, about his political capital, whether it's there or not. Maybe in Anambra State, the people in Abga can say whether he's that powerful enough to get those votes if he decides to put his hat ahead of the 2023 general election. But if you take your mind back to 2007 or 2006, late 2006, the run-up to the general elections then, you remember for my presentation with Abbas, I did put out the list of what they consider to be the most corrupt and injurious, who were not fit to buy for office. But over 250 names were there about it. It began with 400 and then it trimmed down to 250. And there was a lot of argument whether the EFCC then had the powers to decide who can be buy for office or not. Only Attico Abu Bakar then, you know, decided to take on the president, Abbas and John there, up to the Supreme Court and then was said that you cannot EFCC doesn't have a power to say you cannot contest for election when that time happens. You went on to contest 2007 election, but it just went on to show exactly how these things play out. All of those names you had on that list, none of them ever went before the court. This is a different between when it was done and it's been indicted, which is a reasonable doubt around the person. And when it gets to court, it's the different matter entirely, which I'm sure Attico will understand about how this thing happened in the jurisprudence when people go to court and then they say whether they have enough evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that this has been the case of corruption. So what people say, who look at what we told Bihar said, whether or not that would spotify him. And he said, you can go and go check and find out whether any of those things will affect me. Attico Abu Bakar is at the end of his tenure as governor of Kambi State by next year. Interesting politician, one of the more progressive politicians in in the Northwest, trusting the state hasn't been beaten by the abandoned board, the way it's hit other states like Kanduna and Kassina, South Dakota and Zamfara State. He can point us over interesting things that happened during his tenure. This thing about the Abacha Luta and its role there has happened there, you know. They've been talking about this for a number of months. But does that not again call to question how we think and how we function in this country, whether we're followers or leaders, even including law enforcement, the fact that he had this looming and he still is a governor, sitting governor in a state and nothing said, nothing questioned. And now here we are again with some questionable, maybe unethical, maybe illegal issues hanging around his neck again. Absolutely. So I see a lot of comments. A number of people say that the state assembly, the lawmakers in Kambi state can call for, you know, panel to look into and maybe start impeachment possibly. You know the way the state assemblies work in the country, we adjust lap dogs to the executive. They say, not in any state governor, in any state assembly, they say you carry out impeachment processes, more likely with the deputy governor, but not with the sitting governor. The closest we had, maybe, was with Peter O'Vee, then as governor for numbers. But look what happened afterwards within a couple of weeks the entity was turned upside down and he got back into office. To imagine that any state governor who is mentioned in these Pandora papers, whose state assembly will decide to begin impeachment proceedings, it's very, very unlikely because the governors are very powerful, they control all of the institutions. It goes back to the question about the strength of institutions, whether it's with the judiciary or the legislature, or with the law enforcement, you know, there's a lot of weakness in how they're able to stand up against the sort of impact they're going to see and play out, I guess with the amendment 10 names that happen.  Just as our said, the institutions, as we all know, are not as strong as the men that we have in this country. But then that leaves the fourth estate to, you know, be in this struggle somewhat alone. And we've also been taking a lot of flak as a result of that, speaking truths to power, and sometimes even highlighting certain issues that have been swept under the carpet. So again, in pushing for us to be able to deal with these issues or call for some level of accountability, we have also been seen as maybe major critics of government enjoy, even sometimes the enemy of the state. I mean, we've recently seen a publication with a lot of facts, even though we're yet to hear any rebuttal on conflicts for Boko Haram. That's a different conversation for another day. That's from a journalist. Does it seem to you sometimes, as someone who's on the radio every day talking about these issues and asking for people's opinion, does it seem to you like maybe we're not doing enough or saying the right things so that Nigerians can really receive, for want of a better word, receive sense? You know, it seems, I mean, I know we're not doing enough. And I know, I'm sure you'd agree with me, that we need to do more. But we operate in a peculiar part of the world. You see this Pandora paper, papers that have come up with the investigation. You look at the number of media organizations that were involved. You look at the resources that were utilized by these media organizations to come up with this report and the cross border, cross national, cross continental effort it took. You look at our media organizations on the African continent and indeed in Nigeria. And you look at the resources that we have to do investigative journalism. I mean, this whole effort was put together by International Conservatory of Investigative Journalists, ICIJ. The media in Nigeria really is struggling as far as funds are concerned. And investigative journalism is not cheap. I mean, I get people calling into my radio program to give me information. And then the next thing they say, Mary, are you aware of this? Because we hosted a morning radio program for many years together.  Go and investigate. And then I'll say, hey, excuse me, excuse me, hold on. You think it's free to investigate? You think I can just stand up and go?  How many journalists are working in organizations where they're basic Medicare via HMO is even guaranteed taking care of. So it is not cheap. We're not doing enough, but Nigerian journalists are doing the best they can. We should do more. But unfortunately, we're not able to do it. Guess what? We say that the law, and I hope the gentleman who is with you in the studio is a lawyer, my sincere respects and apologies to him. I do not mean to demean his profession. But they say the law is a hope of a common man. In Nigeria, the media is the hope of a common man because everybody has an issue they bring it to you, the journalists. The human rights abuse, they come to you. They've taken their land. They come to you. Someone stole from them. They come to you. They have a complaint to make to government. They come to you because those in authority are not accessible. And the nearest person they can think of is the radio house, the television station. So a lot needs to be done. But I think Nigerian journalists are doing the best they can. We are playing a critical role. The press, being the media, is I think basically the only organization or a professional body mentioned in the Nigerian constitution to hold the public office holders accountable, keep them accountable on behalf of the people. So we have a critical role to play. And we need to keep doing that within the scope of our resources. Okay. Mr Johnson, if you just helped you ask my last question, because my last question obviously was where's the place of the judiciary, the worst place of law, the law in this, knowing also that, you know, recently the judiciary has had a lot of question marks, you know, around it. And just as he said, it used to be the hope of a common man. Now we're not really sure if that's where we want to go. But let's see how you defend the judiciary and of course the law profession. The legal profession is still the hope of the common man. Unfortunately, with the state of the economy and the fact that governance is no longer being done for the benefit of the people, I make bold to say. Access to justice is very expensive now. Someone comes into your office, this happened to me, the police did this or that. You say, okay, we have to file. When you get to the federal high court, you have to pay.  And then there are times where you have costs that run up and up and it becomes expensive for those who are indigent, for those who cannot afford to pay and do what they should do. So it becomes more difficult. But by and large, there was a judgment where the Supreme Court jurist said that the Constitution is the fountain from which all other laws flow. And that if there is mud in one part of that fountain, naturally it will flow all around. The situation in the country now is that corruption has become cancerous. It's at all spheres of government, society, schools, universities, churches, mosques, you name it. And the problem there is that when you have that, it is bound to seep into the judiciary. It's bound to seep even into the EFCC. So who checks the legislature, the executive? That's the problem. You see, those who are within the corridors of power, decision makers, I don't think they're up to 2% of this country.  So in the people themselves do not realize that they're being changed because some people are cutting corners and are not law-abiding people, then it will continue. Unfortunately, those who are perpetrating these things are the people who we are looking to amend the laws or to implement the laws or to protect us. So we find ourselves in between a rock and a hard place, unfortunately. But on that note, I want to say thank you gentlemen, our whole coffee bar tales. Thank you very much for being part of the conversation. I appreciate it. All right, well, we'll take a short break and when we return, we will be discussing what's happening in the southeast. And of course, we advise the IROA group as for northern governments, as regards I-POP-Cities for Border Protection.


Welcome back to the morning after on sports grid. It's time now to welcome in our very special guest and latest newest member to the Fandall team, World Wide Wobb. You know him as Rob Perez. I know you were up late last night. Watch some of your show. So welcome into the early morning after. Yes. Late nights are an understatement in the NBA at least because the games end at like midnight and then you gotta react to them, then you gotta work, then you gotta prepare for the show before you know it. It's the morning after. Can't get any sleep around here, but I'm happy to get up for you guys. I was gonna say, yeah, no, that's the name of the show and that's exactly the vibe that we're getting. And I think the morning after today continues to be one of those really positive mornings for the NBA. The bubble has been bubble-icious for lack of a better word. Luca Dodchic's been incredible. Donovan Mitchell very understated with his performance yesterday, overshadowed by Luca. Of all the craziness we saw over the weekend, Rob, what really stood out to you? I think Luca's the obvious answer, but I wanna hear it from you. Well, yeah, so first of all, the energy that's in this bubble, if I could somehow like bottle it and replicate it for future NBA seasons, that's gonna be the NBA's biggest challenge here because the basketball itself, the X's and O's have been just unprecedentedly good for regular season, let alone what we've seen in the playoffs. The problem is you can't keep these players away from their family and friends for nine straight months. So we're gonna have to figure out a way to make this work in the normal regular season. The question here is, what has surprised me the most? I mean, we have to speak about Luca last night, not just because we're surprised by how good he is. We knew about his talent. We've seen him do the most ridiculous things that other players just can't seem to do. But last night, he took steps towards proving that he is one of the best leaders in the NBA already in year two. So he's surrounded by guys that have been around for five, six years, veterans that probably would want that last shot. They have a lot of good scores. They have a historically efficient offense in Dallas. But just 48 hours ago, before he hits that shot, he could barely even walk. And the fact that he's out there without his wingman in Kristaps Porzingis, who I like to refer to as number six on Dallas, he's not out there with him. And that's a whole nother story in itself, guys. We'll get there, I promise at some point. But Luca Donchic is out there putting the team on his back, just carrying them through every instance. And the fact that the team was able to rally around him, it almost surprised me that Luca Donchic has proved at this point in his career in year two, that he is able to get his teammates to buy in to that's the guy. Like LeBron James is the prototype example of it because he came straight out of high school, the Coveys of the world, the Kevin Garnets that have made the franchise theirs, but never this quickly, never this quickly. He could have easily just folded up the tent down 20, down 20 in the third quarter to the Clippers. This wasn't the Knicks. It was the Clippers that were down 22. He could have just said, I'm gonna keep my ankle fine, we'll go to game five.  Super impressive, guys. What surprised me about your show last night was I thought you would open up with Luca. You went on a rant about Denver. What was it about Denver that got you so fired up?  I have financial reasons for leading the show with Denver. Okay, Denver is the better team in the series of the third seed against the six. They are driving me insane. They're driving, I can't like, I'm gonna throw Tomahawk my television through the window at some point here, because they have the talent. Okay, they can put up the points. Jamal Murray is putting up 45, 50 points. Like it's a walk in the park for him, but they just refuse to take Nikola Jokic out of the pick and roll. The Utah Jazz are walking down the court with a sign around their neck that says, we are going to run a high pick and roll with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy O'Bear. Are you okay with this? And Denver says, okay, we know it's coming. Yeah, we're okay with it. And Jokic doesn't, all you have to do is just put the ball in the air and Rudy O'Bear is gonna dunk it. Then he starts backing off of him eight feet off. He's just shooting free throws. Oh, Donovan Mitchell did last night we shoot 50 points on free throws. Whether he was actually using free throws or just pulling up on the two point line. The fact that Mike Malone and this Denver team made it this far without recognizing something that is getting completely exploited, driving me absolutely wild and every Nuggets fan out there watching those games in these past couple of games, just hadn't not see what we're seeing. You don't even need to know basketball to see that this doesn't work. Can't stand it. I'm gonna stir the pot a little more with Denver because I think Jamal, but then we're gonna get into some funner topics that I know are gonna get you much happier. Jamal Murray, how is he only averaging 18 points per game? This guy should be a 24, 25, 26 point per game score. And the jazz offensive efficiency rating in this series it's like I'm looking at a number on like the price is right. It just keeps going up and up and up. And I don't think Utah is going to change what they're gonna do because it's really all they've got in their back pocket right now. And unless Denver adjust the series is gonna be over quick. Let's get into some more exciting stuff. Our Thunder series bet is alive and well. And I think it's because of our guy Lou Dort who has become emerged as the best on ball defender in the NBA. This guy was undrafted, Rob. What's your take on the rest of the series? Huge game today. Thunder catch it about three, three in the hook. I think they're a live dog if they got Dort on the floor guarding James Harden. Okay, let me save you before somebody clips this and puts this on the internet. I'm not gonna go as far and say that Lou Dort is the best on ball defender in the NBA. I'll give that honor to Kawhi Leonard. But let me agree with you and say that Lou Dort's presence makes a difference. What makes Lou Dort great is that he's able to guard James Harden without fouling. All of a screaming, pulling our hair out whether you bet against the Rockets or just watching the game in general. Why are you jumping with James Harden? He's gonna draw foul 99 times out of 100 if you expose yourself in midair. Now Lou Dort the way that he's built his foot speed, his quadriceps look like tree trunks and James Harden is a massive built human being, okay? Who has strength. That's the most underrated part of his game is his strength. Lou Dort is able to one, stay on the ground, stay in front of James Harden without fouling and just say if you're gonna make a 32 foot step back on me, go for it. Like you're gonna have to beat us doing just things that no human has done before you consistently over the course of a 48 minute game. Now in regards to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the series itself, big, big W game three keeps them in the series. They're the most clutch team in the league. So that means within five minutes if the score is within five points, Oklahoma City is the number one team. Now we're in a complete contrast of styles here because OKC likes to live in the mid-range.  It's gonna come down to Steven Adams.  He's got a guy on him that's six, seven inches smaller. You should be out there putting up 2020 every single game. And if Steven Adams is not gonna put up 2020 and has to sit, that was the whole point of betting OKC in the first place. You can't beat the Rockets in the way that they play four out of seven times without one of your highest paid players performing at a level against a team in which there is no reason, no reason whatsoever that he shouldn't be at least getting 20 rebounds a game. And there's no other way to put it. He's the biggest, most dominant physical guy on the court. Prove it. Good day. The Lakers and Trailblazers are also tonight. And yeah, I know Jared says he agrees with you there. We didn't get to talk too much about this. So I wanna get your take on it. Lakers, Trailblazers tonight. Lakers were at minus seven and a half. Now they're at minus seven. So taking the hook off, who do you like in this matchup? Only about a couple minutes left. All right, well, thank you for the reminder because I like to just go off on tangents and rants here. So keeping me, our relationship is already growing to two shows in. That's a big number. We love it. I mean, I can't sit here and recommend that you lay seven points, but the Lakers have found the antidote to Damien Lillard. You're not gonna stop him, but you can contain him. And you drown these Blazers, big men in just size because you have Jamil McGee, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Anthony Davis. They have hockey shifts, a big guy. You had Marquise Morris in there that you just can tire use of Nurkage out. He was so tired that the camera was panning on the fast break. It was just leaving use of Nurkage on the left side of the screen because he just got tired and wouldn't stop running. Then you got Hassan White side who's a monopoly chance card in terms of if he's gonna show up that night. But in this case, the monopoly chance card is 25% pass go, 75% go to jail. Okay, that's just what Hassan White side has been his entire career.  You forced them into foul trouble and you forced Nurkage off the court either by fatigue or that said, foul trouble. And the Lakers finally figured out that if we just put enough pressure on them on the glass, it doesn't matter how many threes Damien Lillard makes because layups are easier than 32 foot three pointers. Yeah, no, the Nurkage thing, I noticed that too, the other Nairobi. He looked like he was just worn out. So I'll present this to you. We got about a minute left. I'll present this to you. You have to take one today, Lakers or Clippers. What's it gonna be? To win the series or to cover the spread? To win the to win it all, to go further. Which team goes further in the playoffs? Lakers or Clippers? Oh, yeah, I'm still on the Clippers. I know what happened last night. And this team is made for trench warfare. I mean, I'm going into the foxhole with four of those guys. Paul George has been a disappointment. What a luxury to have that you can go to Kawhi Leonard and Lou Williams if Paul George is having one of his three for 14 nights. They're saying his new nickname should be PG 13%. You know what, it's accurate.  And you have the best player, you have the finals MVP to go to. There's absolutely no reason, they're gonna win the series. They are made for playoff basketball and you simply can't score and beat Kawhi Leonard four out of seven times. You could beat them two or three possibly, but they just have all the makings of a championship contender. Clippers 19 and five, ATS off a loss. That's the trend we are targeting for tomorrow night. So I agree with you. I think the Clippers tomorrow night's the play. You know, it sure sounds easy. Doesn't it, Jared? Like when you sit here and we say- It sounds so easy, right? Yeah, we've convinced everyone at this point, but is Luca gonna be able to pull that off with the ankle? Is number six on Dallas? Is this knee okay? This is why it's a seven game series and it's not March Madness. There is no parity. The best team wins seven game series and that team is the Clippers. Well, we'll get into the KP stuff next year. That's the thing that always prevail in the NBA. We're all the wide wab, Rob Perez, catch him on late night with Wab on Fandle. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you again soon. Thanks guys. Good stuff.


St. Lawrence defeats Bates 16-7 here at the Mustang Classic, Glenn Clark with Saints head coach Mike Mahoney, coach a heck of a battle for those first two and a half quarters. What changed there in the second half for your team to be able to pull away? Yeah I mean first of all credit to Bates and you know as we've watched them on film and saw them yesterday I think they've just gotten better each and every time they've played and you know I think coach and Eno's doing an awesome job and so we expected a dogfight and that's exactly what we got. I think you know their goalie made some really key saves at times and I think so we finished some opportunities but like anything I mean it's you know it's a bounce here it's just a good a good offensive possession and we got a little momentum and we were able to able to roll with that. In a way do you feel like maybe it's good for your team to be tested like that and have to respond to it as you know they're even bigger tests coming up in league play? No doubt no doubt I mean that's why we came down here to play two great games to you know have the back-to-back I mean you never know how a team's gonna respond to that and I was just I was pleased with with our effort there wasn't anything about us looking past you know Bates they they brought it and we had to step up and I was proud of how our guys responded. What stood out to me in watching your team your balance that it's sort of coming from everywhere and everywhere you're not relying on anyone in particular how good how much of a luxury is that for you to have at this point in the season. Yeah it's you know it's how we go about things offensively you know Tom Ryan our offensive coordinator that's what he preaches as far as ball movement and and and that balance and you know I thought Bates had a couple of things in their game plan that may be you know impacted how our attackman play and we had some midfielders that stepped up and it was just it's nice to see we're not gonna rely on one guy and you know I think teams that that do well over the course of the season have to have that approach and and we'll be consistent with that. I suffice to say you've enjoyed your first trip here to the Mustang Classic. Yeah I mean to get out with a couple of wins is that's icing on the cake you know the experience and to be down here you know coach Canada Bennett does an awesome job with this whole as everyone does here with this whole production and it really is a special tournament for the first time we're here and proud to be a part of it and and really cherish the opportunity and and certainly happy to leave here with a couple of W's. Coach congratulations on a great weekend down here it was great to have you best of luck moving forward this season. Thank you very much appreciate it. He's Mike Mahoney I'm Glenn Clark this is the Mustang Classic.


What's going on guys at EHPglobe's at the exact party and I'm super excited to announce that EHP have just dropped a brand new product oxy reds So we're going to talk today about the differences between oxy reds and oxy greens If you haven't heard of oxy greens before you must be living under a rock because this is the product that I swear broke EHP Lebson's website It was just ridiculously out of stock all the time people couldn't get enough of it And there's no mystery why oxy greens is the nicest most delicious tasting greens on the market And it has no grassy aftertaste often if you're buying greens They always taste Considering it always tastes a bit like lawnmower clippings, but oxy greens are delicious And I think it's very easy for people to just consume and make a part of the daily routine because it does taste so nice And it's very healthy and it's just a great orange supplement So we're getting to a little bit about both of these if you do love greens you are going to absolutely love oxy reds So essentially a bit about oxy reds This product is designed to improve the health of your heart and circulatory system It is a vitality supplement. So it has antioxidants to help fight diseases It also has just reds it has three grams of red superfoods in here So let's see if I can remember what you have in here We have beetroot carrot dragon fruit pomegranate assai rhubarb irish moss powder I don't know what irish moss powder is but it sounds intriguing Strawberry cranberry and riceberries. So three grams of red superfoods your total daily intake of reds So improving your body's heart and cardiovascular health and performance, which is great now You don't need to take this one Straight away in the morning. This one is like a whenever you like throughout the day If you want to take it a couple hours before exercise You'll get a lot of the effects from beetroot in terms of the performance effects So that's that's what I like to do really really good. We have three flavors of this one a quickly show you We have fruit explosion. We have raspberry, which is insane Raspberry is I swear is next level and forest berries all really really delicious, but raspberry is my my go to And oxy greens now you're probably thinking what is the difference? Can I take both? Do I need one? What's kind of the go so oxy greens is your anti bloat supplement? It is basically designed to improve your gut health give you more nutrients and also help your body absorb the nutrients from your foods So oxy greens is a great all-rounder It's your total daily intake of greens and then oxy reds is your total daily intake of reds oxy greens is best taken first thing in the morning Just to try and help fight the bloat and give your body everything it needs first thing Otherwise you can take it with food. That's also good oxy reds is better taken either in the afternoon because you can get some kind of like an energy or performance effect Not stimulation has no caffeine in there But I like to take this one a couple of hours just before my workouts So usually for me that's like I take that with lunch or in between lunch and dinner Now considering only one in 10 people actually eat their daily requirements of fruit and veg These products to me is kind of a no-brainer. You have your daily intake of greens daily intake of reds And they just taste so good. You literally want to keep drinking them all the time Especially if you're adhering to like a diet or a fat loss diet It makes it very easy to stick to your diet because you'll actually have a really delicious kind of Tastes like a treat a little bit of feeling. I don't know why but it kind of fills me up in between meals If I have it after lunch, I kind of don't really get hungry until dinner So it's a really nice kind of in between meal thing as well And you just feel better taking this stuff too. You just genuinely feel better So by the sounds of it you probably realize that these products are pretty much ideal for everyone Unless you're eating all of the aforementioned fruit and veg that I said earlier the beetroot carrot dragon fruit Pomegranate as side as rock rubarb Irish moss powder strawberry raspberry Cranberry if you're eating all those then and all of the greens that are in here Maybe you'll be sweet, but I just I mean, I don't think most people are eating that as I said earlier There's like 10% of people are actually doing that So if you're not if you need a bit of help, this is pretty much good for everyone But there are some situations and circumstances that might be more applicable to you So I'm going to run through the top six problems that I Usually see in health and fitness and how each one of these might be a little solution for that So starting with the first one is that your cardio sucks. Maybe Your cardio performance is bad Cardiovascular fitness doesn't seem to be up where it should be you just started to improve your cardio Obviously, you need cardiovascular health like you need the cardiovascular fitness and practice to do that You can't just take this and go all of a sudden. I'm healthy. You need to have a part of cardio So you got to actually get your cardio going get a good routine going just get the heart rate up a little bit But here's where oxy reds will step in so beetroot and is a nitric oxide precursor So the beetroot powder in this especially will help widen blood vessels improve your circulation And it does improve at no performance in cardio So workout performance will increase when you take oxy reds That's why I like to take it just that few hours before a session Because of all those ingredients in there now problem number two is that you want to get a better immune system Maybe problem number three pretty much always sick So a lot of people want to improve the health of their body and immune system and want to prevent sickness altogether So here's where both of these products can come into play because if you improve your gut health You will improve your immune system. So oxy greens is great for that But the key here and the real king is oxy reds. So oxy reds is loaded with antioxidants Such as lycopene. We have vegan astaxanthin in here and also resveratrol. So antioxidants help fight Oxidation which is tissue damage and also a culprit in early onset of diseases So oxy reds is the ideal for helping prevent disease where possible and the breakdown of your body's tissues So that's why this is a health and vitality supplement It's it is a performance one kind of like as a little extra but at the core of it This is a health one. So if you're bolstering your immune system You're preventing sickness and also you have good gut health You're pretty much taking all the boxes of what you possibly can do. Another problem is that you're always bloated Now bloating affects everyone, but typically women more so than men. I still experience it from time to time Oxy greens is pretty much a king for reducing bloating. So it has Prebotic fibers in here green banana green kiwi and also inulin fiber These act to promote the good bacteria the probiotics in your gut, which will lead to a healthier gut microbiome So if you've never taken a greens before This you'll be very surprised with how nice this tastes Oxy greens will improve and fix any microbiome imbalances by Promoting regularity actually reducing bloating and also increasing the amount of good bacteria in your gut If you have had other greens powders, you're probably a bit cautious and wary because usually they taste horrible Usually greens powders taste disgusting and like lawnmow clippings and grass and oxy greens doesn't even have a grassy aftertaste So this one is the pineapple And it is genuinely Sweet it tastes like health because you can taste the green But it is really really sweet and there's no grassy aftertaste like it's delicious It's one of the appeals of this product You can drink it all the time and it literally every single day and it feels actually like it's something you look forward to It's not a chore. So that's why I think they've absolutely nailed it to this one Another problem is the fact that you can't hit your nutrition goals and micronutrients Now as we mentioned, there are not a lot of Australians actually hitting their micronutrient goals And it is very hard to when you actually look at what is in food and what most people eat on a daily basis It's very difficult. So that's where greens particularly in terms of your green vegetable intake It will tick all the boxes. Now, I know a lot of people don't particularly love eating greens And even when they do they don't eat a large variety. So you might be thinking, oh, but I eat a lot of broccoli But that's it. But then you hit the broccoli micronutrients, but you lose a lot of the other ones like the kale spinach Actually, bear with me. I'll read them to you Inulin and barley grass, wheat grass, green banana, kale, spinach, spirulina, celery, kiwi fruits, doji extract, florella, blueberry, broccoli seed extract It's impossible to eat all that in one day unless you like love vegetables and go crazy for variety But this will ensure you tick all the boxes and you basically make sure you're getting enough micronutrients from your food as well Now another problem people face is that when they do taste these powders, they are usually Sickened by the the greenest powders in the market. As I mentioned, oxyverines does not have that problem So the wheat grass and spirulina and barley grass usually carry a very nasty arse to taste But EHP labs, they don't call them labs for nothing. The flavor labs where EHP flavor their stuff I've seen it and it is insane and impressive and they do such a good job So you will be safe with whatever flavor you choose these new ones the boxy red fruit explosion raspberry and forest berries Raspberry is my favorite definitely get that and all of oxy greens are phenomenal But pineapple is also my favorite So let me know in the comments below what you guys would like to try if you haven't had one of these Which one you've just grabbed or what your favorite flavor of greens is that is it for this video I'm zack burner and we'll see you in the next video


Hey you guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. I guess you can already tell by this thumbnail that this video is not our typical video. I am here to formally announce that Howard and I are having a baby. And we are so excited. This is something that we have been wanting for a long time. We've been trying for over a year to have a baby. And as of today, I am almost 19 weeks. So I am in the fifth month of pregnancy. So you can tell by the bags under my eyes and probably in more recent videos, my face may look fuller. And I've definitely got the bags under my eyes from lack of sleep over the last several months. But we're excited. So our baby is due in January.  It's going to be a surprise. We are over the moon. We weren't sure if it was possible. Like I said, we've been trying for over a year. Howard and I got married about two years ago and we're both in our forties and we didn't think it was possible. So I just wanna give you guys some hope that are trying to have a baby that it is possible. So we've got a baby on the way so far, so good. Everything is going well. And I guess the biggest change for me since I've been pregnant is number one, I've been extremely exhausted. I have been so tired, which explains why I have been very slow commenting on videos. So videos that we upload and post, people are kind enough to respond and comment on those videos. I've been a little slow responding because I have been so tired. I usually get home from work and I just don't feel like doing anything, which means I've also been slow in watching videos too. And there are YouTubers who I love to watch and I have just had zero energy. And I haven't felt like watching videos either, which leads me to the videos that we've been doing lately. I know I've been doing a lot of freezer challenges and pantry challenges, trying to use up stuff that we have on hand. And that is because I'm trying to make room for baby stuff. We have a baby coming in about four months, so I need to clear out space for that. So that's a big secret that I've been holding from you guys. It's also another reason when I go back and watch our videos, I noticed that I sound short of breath. And this baby, that's the reason why, causes shortness of breath. So again, we are just over the moon with excitement. Like I said, we didn't think that it would happen for us. And we're just so thankful to God that it did happen. And we've got a little baby on the way. So I couldn't wait to share it with you guys, but I wanted to wait a little bit and make sure that everything was okay, but everything seems to be okay now. Like I said, I'm in my fifth month of pregnancy. I can't believe it. I do have a baby bump. Actually, I feel like it's bigger than a bump. I just told my coworkers at work, gosh, like a week ago, and no one could really tell that I was pregnant. And I feel like within the last week, week and a half or so that the bump has just popped. Like you can definitely tell that I'm pregnant now. So I'll try to remember to insert some, a couple of pictures at the end of this video so that you can see my bump. But I don't plan on changing the content of our channel. Like I said, our channel is normally all about food. This is definitely a different type of video for us, but normally we just talk about food. We do recipes, grocery hauls, taste test, that type of thing and what's for dinner, of course. But I just wanted to share the good news with you guys. Again, the content of our channel is gonna remain the same. If you want some occasional updates on how things are going, I'm happy to share that with you too, but just wanted to let you guys know what's going on. And we really appreciate all of your support and love and encouragement since we've had our YouTube channel a little over a year. And just wanted to share this with my YouTube family. So thanks so much for watching, guys. If you want to see how things progress with the pregnancy or if you're just interested in food related videos, we hope that you will subscribe to our channel. See you guys next time.
