On the Hurdle with Emily Abadi podcast, I sit down with elite athletes, record holders, coaches, and everyday runners to unpack the mindset behind pushing through when things get tough.

I'm Carrie Champion, and in this new season of Biggest Rivalries of All Time Podcast, we take you back to the very first rivalry of the WNBA. The Speaker 7 (1:29) Comets Speaker 1 (1:30) were the real deal. I mean, come on. Speaker 7 (1:31) The Liberty was just tough. Oh, God. Speaker 1 (1:34) The New York Liberty versus the Houston Comets. When we hit the Speaker 7 (1:37) floor, it was hot, heated fights, elbows, competition, trash talking. Who Speaker 1 (1:43) is the better team? People lie, but numbers don't. Listen to Biggest Rivalries of All Time on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been hearing for decades that the markets can solve climate change. Today, we have more incentives for market solutions than ever, and emissions are rising. On this season of Drilled, Carbon Cowboys, the story of three market solutions colliding in one multinational boondoggle. Speaker 7 (2:16) They don't give a shit about any of this stuff.

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Poynter, Chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Adria Health Institute in New York City.

Speaker 7 (2:57) Hey, everybody, it's me, W. Kamau Bell. This season on my podcast, Who's With Me, I speak with Bruce Lee's daughter, Brandon Lee's sister, and my friend, Shannon Lee. Speaker 1 (3:06) Back to your initial point of stewarding my father's legacy and giving my energy to that. You're lending your life to stewarding somebody else's life. Speaker 7 (3:18) Listen to Who's With Me with W. Kamau Bell on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Speaker 7 (3:26) You broke me. You do not deserve happiness. Speaker 6 (3:29) I'm Andrea Gunning. On this season of Betrayal, Carl thought he was living a normal, drama-free life. Until the messages started. Speaker 7 (3:39) Someone's not going to make it out of this alive. Speaker 6 (3:41) Every piece of evidence pointed to the wrong guy. Speaker 7 (3:45) He was not going to stop unless we stopped him. Speaker 6 (3:48) Listen to Betrayal Season 6 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Speaker 7 (4:24) Is Speaker 2 (4:25) your son doing homecoming? He sure is. For us, it was a game, and there was like a small dance after, but I feel like now it's a bigger deal with the dance. Speaker 3 (4:34) Oh, yeah. I mean, every day at school this week, there's a different theme. They're building a float. Then Friday night's the game, and Saturday night's the dance. It's Speaker 2 (4:40) a Speaker 3 (4:40) whole different night. Speaker 2 (4:41) Mm-hmm. So did he ask a girl? Speaker 3 (4:43) He's going with a friend. Speaker 2 (4:45) Did he ask the friend that's a girl? Well, Speaker 3 (4:47) she kind of mentioned it to him. Like, do you have anybody to go with? And he was like, no. And last year, he just went with a friend, and she was like, well, do you want to go together as friends? And he's like, yeah. She Speaker 2 (4:58) asked him? Speaker 5 (4:59) Yeah, look at that. As friends. No, you know what, though? I got asked as a friend in high school. I found out later she liked me. Made love all night? Yep. We did not. Oh, okay. Ew. That's my Eddie. Speaker 3 (5:10) I know, but. Wait, Speaker 2 (5:12) what? What's wrong with that? Speaker 3 (5:13) You picturing him? Speaker 5 (5:13) Because now Speaker 3 (5:13) we're talking about my son. Oh. So Speaker 2 (5:17) he's going? Speaker 3 (5:18) He's going. What do they wear? Speaker 2 (5:20) Is it tux? Speaker 3 (5:21) No, no tux. Just homecoming. He's going to wear khakis and a white button-down and a sports coat. Speaker 2 (5:26) Oh, nice. It is semi-formal, though. Speaker 3 (5:28) Yeah, and I don't know that all the boys wear sports coats, but he wants to. Speaker 2 (5:31) So, like, what does he have to do now? Speaker 3 (5:34) He wants to get her flowers. Okay. And we were like, okay, well, which ones? And he was telling his dad and I red roses. And then we both, like, instantly were like, okay, well, that's a little romantic. Yeah, yeah, Speaker 1 (5:48) yeah. Speaker 3 (5:48) You know, red roses. So then he went and searched it up. And he said, oh, okay, yeah, I think I'm supposed to get her yellow. Like, that's friendship. Speaker 2 (5:58) That's a good call. Speaker 3 (5:59) Yellow roses? And then I thought, it really doesn't matter. If you wanted to get her red, that's fine. Like, do kids even know the significance of a color? Speaker 2 (6:08) Yeah, red roses are love. That's coming on strong. And they know that, too, because of the color of emoji hearts they send. That's Speaker 3 (6:15) a Speaker 2 (6:15) good point. Speaker 3 (6:15) Because you don't send Speaker 2 (6:16) someone a red heart unless it's love. And Speaker 3 (6:18) then if you send them a yellow heart, it's like friendship. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 2 (6:22) Is this her first homecoming dance? Speaker 3 (6:24) No, but it is with a date. I think, yeah. Pretty sure. Do Speaker 2 (6:29) you dance together if you go as friends or do you just go together and then you just hang out and maybe dance with other people? Good Speaker 3 (6:36) question. We'll know more on Saturday after he goes. Who Speaker 2 (6:39) picks who up? Speaker 3 (6:42) Well, good question on that too. I'm Speaker 2 (6:45) killing these Speaker 3 (6:45) questions. So I don't have to worry about that because he's going to be with his dad. But his dad would, I'm sure, happily go pick her up if that's the case. Speaker 5 (6:53) Oh, does he drive? He doesn't drive yet? Speaker 3 (6:55) No. Speaker 3 (6:57) She probably doesn't want to ride on his scooter. Speaker 2 (7:00) Good point. Does he want to drive? Speaker 3 (7:02) He talks about it, yes. We're getting there. Some Speaker 2 (7:05) kids don't want to drive when they turn 16. Like my niece, I said, I will buy you a car. She does not care. She does not have her license. Speaker 3 (7:11) Yeah, it doesn't seem as big of a deal. Like my daughter didn't get it right away. So we've just sort of followed that route. And he's got a little bit of maturing to do. So I think it's fine that he's a little bit delayed there. Speaker 3 (7:23) He'll take driver's ed soon, though. And then he has to have his permit or whatever for six months, and then he can get his license, even though he's already 16. Speaker 2 (7:31) And so he's ninth grade. And you get to go to homecoming as a ninth grader? Speaker 3 (7:35) So Speaker 2 (7:35) is all senior high, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, all go? Speaker 3 (7:38) Yeah, the whole school. I don't know how many of the older kids actually end up going to the dance, but ninth graders, I think they're all in. Speaker 2 (7:45) That's exciting. It's also cool that she asked him. It's pretty baller. It's also aware. Well, I need Speaker 3 (7:50) to look at how it actually, that's just what he told me. He said, I said, well, are you going to take anybody? And he said, yes, I'm going to take my friend. And I'm like, oh, how did that happen? And he said that she said, do you have a date? And he said, no. And then she's like, okay, would you like to go as friends? He Speaker 2 (8:06) said, she said lots of it. I'm just saying, Speaker 3 (8:09) because I don't know if it gets back to her, she might be like, what? Yeah. Trust me. Speaker 2 (8:13) Okay, we don't know. No, Speaker 3 (8:15) that's how it happened. That's fine. Speaker 2 (8:16) And I think it's a good call on the yellow flowers. There's a restaurant owner that announced to the whole dining room that this couple had ordered $137 worth of food and they were refusing to pay. So he just called them out. Ray, would you play that? Speaker 7 (8:28) This lovely couple has Speaker 2 (8:29) ordered Speaker 7 (8:30) $137 worth of food. Which we order all Speaker 1 (8:32) the time, food all the time. For the 45 minutes Speaker 7 (8:34) they've been here, and they are refusing to pay. Speaker 1 (8:36) We got plenty of money. We're not refusing to pay. Listen. Speaker 7 (8:38) We Speaker 1 (8:39) said we are Speaker 7 (8:39) refusing to pay for the pork chops we never got. This is what I want from y'all. I want y'all to walk out the door and don't ever come in this restaurant again. Speaker 1 (8:47) Oh, we won't. We wasn't paying them. Thank you. Yes, sir. Thank you. We're just asking what we did not get to be taken off the bill. That's all. Speaker 7 (8:54) The pork Speaker 2 (8:55) chops Speaker 7 (8:55) we didn't receive, that's what I was asking you to take off. Speaker 2 (8:57) If they didn't get the pork chops, you got to take them off. Yeah. Was this a little Speaker 3 (9:01) overreaction? Yeah, why are they making it Speaker 2 (9:02) public? Speaker 3 (9:03) Did he not have, well, the owner of the, or the manager, whoever did, but why, did he not understand what they were saying and then he made a scene? Also, Speaker 2 (9:11) if the pork chops, one, didn't come, or two, they weren't right, you ain't supposed to pay for them. Or once it went public, did they change their story? Yeah, we don't know because it's a viral video. Right. And that's the lesson here. Just because something goes viral doesn't mean you know the whole story. A restaurant owner went viral. He went to the whole dining room and said they're not paying. The dispute started when the couples of their pork chops were cooked too hard. Staff took the dish back and replaced it with steak, but still charged them for both items. If that's the case, justice for the people in the restaurant. Yes, for sure. Yeah, 100%. If they didn't get the pork chops how they ordered them and they came out wrong, justice for the eaters. Speaker 5 (9:48) And that's their argument. Yes. But what's the play here for the owner? Like to make it public and then therefore have a jury, let the restaurant decide like who's right. Why? To shame them into paying their bill. Speaker 1 (9:59) To Speaker 5 (9:59) embarrass them. But that's so uncomfortable for everyone else eating. Not for the owner. Speaker 2 (10:04) That's ridiculous. That's such a bad business. If it is according to the story that I read, justice for the people that are eating their food. That sucks. And now they're on the internet being shamed because you got this owner going, they're not. Okay, well, tell the rest of the story. Speaker 3 (10:17) So who was filming, the owner or the patrons? Speaker 2 (10:19) Just somebody. I don't know. I didn't ask, and they didn't get photo credit. Speaker 3 (10:24) Well, I didn't know if it was the couple being like, we're documenting you, or if the owner's filming, hey, these people right here. I don't know from camera view you could tell. Speaker 2 (10:34) Justice for the eaters, if what I saw is true. Even if they give you the food and it's not right, if it's not right, that's not what you're paying for. So I don't like that. I don't like the owner for doing that. A woman wants police to arrest her son. Oh, man. What did he do? So she's asking police because she thinks accountability is love. Hit that. I Speaker 4 (10:57) would like police to arrest my 19-year-old son. Yes, that is exactly what I just said. I am his mom. That is my child. I would like him arrested. I have watched my son have these behavior things for years that have been met with safety plans and referrals and warnings and a whole lot of second chances. Sometimes another chance, very appropriate. But most of the time, someone needs a consequence that they cannot talk, manipulate, or charm their way out of. I want to be sure that my son has to experience the weight of his own choices. Okay, thanks, bye. Speaker 2 (11:31) I don't think you can get police to your house by doing a TikTok saying, hey, come arrest him. I think if he commits a crime, you can turn him in for the crime. Speaker 3 (11:38) That's Speaker 2 (11:38) why you get arrested is for crimes, not because you're a bad kid. You think she's crying Speaker 5 (11:42) wolf? Just kind of like, look, I'm going to post a video. Does he keep acting like this? No, I think she's Speaker 2 (11:47) just not in her right mind. Or Speaker 3 (11:50) desperate. Speaker 2 (11:52) Or she just thinks the internet rules. And if enough people on the internet believe it, the cops will come and get them. But also, her name's Annie Williams, who took this from her TikTok account. They can't arrest him if he didn't do anything against the law. Take him to do Scared Straight. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's good. Walk Speaker 1 (12:08) him Speaker 2 (12:08) to the prison. Let him see what's up. Could you do that? Could you just show up at a prison with your kid and go, can I do Scared Straight? No, I Speaker 5 (12:17) think it's got to be set up. I don't think you just knock on the door. And I feel like the prisoner. Prison people would be like, you don't want that, ma'am. You don't want to do this. Speaker 2 (12:25) Also, yeah, probably have to be set up in advance because otherwise you're passing drugs. Like it's your way to get contraband into the prison. What doesn't sound good is that Amazon's going to start making 2.30 a.m. deliveries. That's bad. That is really bad. Somebody's going to get shot. Hit that one. Speaker 7 (12:42) I was ready to have Amazon drivers at your house at 2.30 in the morning. Starting this week, Amazon is starting to offer 2.15, 2.30, and 2.45 a.m. shifts. Yeah, you can say just don't take those shifts, but people are going to take them because they need money. I just think it's a terrible idea. Speaker 2 (13:01) Whenever the Amazon driver comes to our house at 10.30, it feels like someone's on our property, and it's scary. We have cameras and like somebody's here, especially when they're driving a non-Amazon van. Even at 1030 in an Amazon van, it's weird when the lights pull up at 1030 into your driveway. when it's their car, their own car, because not everybody gets the Amazon van. That's even scarier because you're like, somebody's at my house at 1030. If people are doing it at 230 in the morning, somebody's going to get shot. Speaker 3 (13:31) Well, you know when you order, because sometimes when I order something, it'll tell me that it's going to be delivered between, you know, four and eight. Speaker 2 (13:38) Okay. Speaker 3 (13:39) Four and eight. Speaker 2 (13:40) AM, I get that too. No, no, no. Speaker 3 (13:42) Or PM. I'm just saying when you click, like, is it going to be like, hey, this might, you will know you ordered something. Well, Speaker 2 (13:48) probably overnight, but everybody in your family and your house doesn't know that everybody ordered everything. Or even Speaker 5 (13:52) more, what if they get the wrong address and they go to the wrong house? Well, let's just say Caitlin orders Speaker 2 (13:56) something and she orders it and doesn't tell me and someone shows up at the house. Yeah. Because it's not like we're all communicating when every Amazon delivery is showing up at our house. I'm definitely Speaker 5 (14:04) not communicated with ever. Because when I show up at my house, there's five boxes. I'm like, where do these come from? Speaker 2 (14:11) I get the need for it, but someone's going to get hurt. driving their car into someone's driveway at 2.30 in the morning, dropping off packages. That's not delivery time. You know where I Speaker 5 (14:22) think this is kind of cool? Like if you're in school and you need something for the next day or something for work the next day and you're like, I need it. Overnight? 3 a.m. That'd be cool. Speaker 3 (14:30) That part will come in handy. But I guess if they keep their lights on, then that's good. Because if someone was coming to sneak up on you or rob you, they would probably turn their heads like... lights off. I Speaker 2 (14:41) don't think if you wake up at 2.30 in the morning, you're thinking rationally because you're half asleep. And also, if your baby's upstairs asleep and your wife's upstairs asleep and someone's... driving on your property, walking around up to your front door, you're not going, well, they have their lights on, so they can't be up to nothing. They need a special Speaker 3 (14:58) something that's like, I am Amazon. Speaker 2 (15:01) Then all they have to do is fake that. That's true. You can just get a vest. Because Speaker 3 (15:04) you Speaker 2 (15:04) can buy Speaker 5 (15:05) a vest Speaker 2 (15:05) so easily. Speaker 5 (15:06) I did see a story where somebody caught these burglars on cameras and one of them had an Amazon vest on. It's Speaker 2 (15:11) the Speaker 5 (15:11) easiest Speaker 2 (15:12) way to porch pirate stuff. That's scary. You can porch pirate the crap out of stuff. You just have a box. It's an Amazon box and a vest and walk up. And just switch them. Yeah, easy. Take the one with the stuff in it. Get out of Dodge. Greeting a stranger with a hug rather than a handshake could make them like you more. A Speaker 3 (15:28) stranger? Speaker 2 (15:29) Well, anybody you meet. Speaker 3 (15:31) That would be weird Speaker 2 (15:32) to hug them. It depends. There's sometimes I meet people and they want to hug. But they know who you are. Yeah. But still, they're a stranger to me. Okay. And they want to hug. And so... Okay, Speaker 3 (15:44) a listener I would hug, but... But it's a stranger. But it's different. We have a connection. Take Speaker 5 (15:50) that away. And if it's a total stranger, somebody at the airport, you don't know who they are. They don't know who you are. Why Speaker 3 (15:54) would Speaker 2 (15:55) you have a conversation with somebody that you both don't know who they are? Speaker 3 (15:57) Okay, let's say I'm introducing you to my friend that you've never met before. It Speaker 2 (16:00) depends on how she stands. Because you're not going to meet somebody without there being a premise of, like, an
