The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 230: Joel, Ja, Jimmy, & Jokic

Today on The Ave Podcast, I discuss the impact of four NBA players in particular during the NBA playoffs. I discuss Joel Embiid’s flameout & his hard luck with playoff success; Jimmy aka “Himmy” Butler’s full fledged superstardom this postseason; what in the hell is Ja Morant actually doing; and if it’s Nikola Jokic’s time to hold the Larry O’Brien trophy.

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 211: Privilege Matters

With everything that has happened within the mainstream media in the last six weeks, there was a story that was resting in the shadows completely away from the spotlight. It would be nice to bring some light back to this story again. So today on The Ave Podcast, we decide to share our thoughts on Brett Favre and his involvement within the recent Mississippi Welfare Scandal. Plus we also share our thoughts on the Jerry Jones Segregation Protest photo; and how these issues get protected by the privileged shadows.
