This spawned the conversation of essentially what it was that happened but also it begged the question "Do we allow to much access to the games/events for fans?".  Thank you so much for tuning in & we hope you enjoy as always If anything stood out to you about this episode please don't hesitate to share with a friend, it really helps out a lot thank you!

Key takeaways from this episodeThe coolest part of the NFL draft is the fact that over a span of a couple days  every NFL fan gets to day dream & fantasize what a perfect season coming up is going to look like for them, or atleast drum up any ounce of hope of having a more stable & solid team. You also have the fact that so many young men our having there lives changed potentially forever with this new opportunity now that they have to play in the NFL, hearing your number get called is just a euphoric feeling. This 2021 NFL draft ended with a lot of now antsy fans that are excited to see the product their team pushes out onto the field, or they've just been completely heart broken. Thankfully as Miami Dolphin  "fans" we have an extra ounce of hope for a pretty cool season.I want to just take a moment to let you know that we are not your financial advisors but we are individuals that like to point out cool financial  events that are happening in the world. Recently Dana White and the UFC went public on the stock market as The Endeavour Group (EDR) , if you give two hoots about anything stock related then you know this is something you should pay attention too. The cool thing about the UFC is that its a unique product, with a more than proven brand & track record that just continues to grow & get bigger every year, we don't see them going nowhere.  There recent slew of events is a perfect example of that. They recently hosted UFC  261 headlining with Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Mas Vidal & wow was this an event. Not just did you have a bout for the welterweight division but you also had someone completely shut the lights off in the co main event starring  Weili Zhang & Rose Namajunas. What an event & honestly this doesn't stop here, lets see what else UFC & Dana White have up their sleeve.The Miami Heat will always be in our hearts, we ride & die for this team  in the cheesiest way a sports fan can with his beloved team. The regular season is about to come to an end in the next few weeks & miami is currently bouncing around its still unknown how this seeding might take place for them. A first round matchup with the Knicks would be interesting, I even believe a first round with Philly would be fun to watch lets see what happens. One thing is for certain though, that no matter the team as long as we have Jimmy Butler they are in trouble!

Tyler Perry has recently won  a Oscars Humanitarian award  from the Oscars & if you know anything about Perry's story then you know this isn't a shocker but still so sweet to see! The work Tyler's two foundations that support the homeless  has done has been out standing. Tyler perry has been able to pool together his resources to help the homeless and less fortunate. During his oscars speech Tyler made sure to point out that a huge piece of his loving spirit came from how his mother effortlessly employed empathy for everyone no matter what walk of life. Since the added exposure winning this award has called Perry has been able to raise more money from his foundations from people reaching out to support! UFC 261 was an all around solid event, two knockouts that were definitely contenders for knockout of the year! Being that we are from Miami we were riding with our main Jorge Masvidal unfortunately it didn't end in celebration but wow what a fight. If for any reason on this god's green earth there was any doubt if Kamaru usman was a bad man I hope this clears up any doubt for you! Kamaru set up a 1-2 combination there that I know he will smiling at for a while. The UFC is only getting bigger & bigger, it is safe to say that Dana White & the UFC are here to stay.One of the best comedians on this earth Andrew Schulz put on a phenomenal show over in West Palm Beach that we just really had to shout him out for.  Comedy is just so crucial for our everyday lives, we must seek the humor we must seek those laughs, they do amazing things for our psyche! Allow comedy to be funny and don't take it so serious at the end of the day remember its here to make you laugh what are you upset about? 

Recently the world was able to witness the sentencing of Derek Chauvin the idiot police officer that murdered George Floyd. Even though the decision comes with mixed emotions still given the climate of things it is pretty safe to say in some facet justice has been served. This sentencing will not bring back the life that was lost but at least this helps give the family some type of closure while they are still dealing with the loss of a loved one. Since the senseless killing of George Floyd there has been countless other stories of individuals dying by the hands of police officers so even though this is a good feel moment for a lot it just goes to show that the job is still not done."In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. Calling themselves the Waldos, because their typical hang-out spot "was a wall outside the school", the five students — Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich —designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis." That right there ladies and gentleman is how years later we are still lighting up a join on the infamous April 20th. The super league, many of you may be reading this or listening to this episode & may have no idea what the super league is, so i'm going to break it down for you real simple. The Super League (organised by the European Super League Company, S.L.), commonly referred to as the European Super League (ESL), was a proposed annual club football competition to be contested by twenty European football clubs. The competition would consist of fifteen "founding clubs" – who would be permanent participants in the competition and govern it – alongside five other European clubs who would qualify based upon their performance in their domestic league's most recent season. It was planned as a breakaway competition to rival or replace the UEFA Champions League, Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA. Basically a little boy clubs of rich as your imagination can roam owners coming together to devise one of the biggest distribution of wealth of all time. Luckily for football fans world wide since announcing there plans a bunch of marquee "founding" teams have pulled out of this nonsense.

Seaspiracy was released   on streaming giant Netflix in March 2021 and rightfully so the film has garnered a lot of eyeballs & in turn has started to turn a lot of the machinery in peoples head about this issue.  Seaspiracy has definitely been a polarizing film  showing you the behind the scenes of  what seems to be a very liberal stance on our commercial fishing. In the film it goes to show you the behind the scenes on the environmental impacts this is having like  the amount of plastic it is leaving behind & how the livelihood of our other sea animals are at risk due to commercial fishing. Like anything polarizing you will find your people willing to die by their perspective on it but none the less it is a film that will make you think.The year is 2021 & bitcoin has officially hit 64,000, what a ride it has been for a lot of bitcoiners & the crazy part is that the ride still is not over.

Key Takeaways From This Podcast Love it or hate it Marijuana is here to stay, theres no denying that at this point & why should it go anywhere? The plant is truly  a thing to marvel at, just the anatomy of it in terms of CBD & THC  and how they perfectly cancel each other out is cool. I wont lie we could've done a better job in terms of being "pro" Cannabis but the point we wanted to bring up here is are we being careful enough? are we being objective enough? or are we just being rebels & indulging in this "natural" plant as we deem fit & not demanding more science on this because god knows what?  No doubt that with Cannabis comes this amazing euphoric feeling but at what cost? It cant be that bad right they give it to cancer patients? At the end of the day we just feel like the science isn't concrete enough & were strapped in for the ride to see how  this goes. In no way are we trying to sway you away or endorse anything but its more so about  getting you to think about where you stand on this & what this may mean for you.Theres a lot of great ted talks out there that cover the topic of cannabis but we wanted to shout out some in particular that you may find some value  in. Remember at the end of the day like with any piece of information its up to you to decide what this is going to mean for you.https://www.ted.com/talks/ben_cort_what_commercialization_is_doing_to_cannabishttps://www.ted.com/talks/david_casarett_a_doctor_s_case_for_medical_marijuana
