On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

The Lakers stand as the NBA's most relevant franchise with championships in six of eight possible decades, outpacing the Celtics who have won in five decades despite having more total titles.
• Most NBA teams have failed to win consistently across different decades
• Only four teams have won titles in three or more decades
• Lakers (6 decades), Celtics (5), Warriors (4), and Spurs (3) top the list
• Ten NBA franchises have never won a championship
• Winning across decades demonstrates organizational adaptability and sustained relevance
• Current stars like Luka Dončić COULD help teams extend their championship windows into new decades
• Judging players from earlier eras differently should also apply to championship counts from those periods
• Consistent championship contention matters more than clustering multiple titles in a short timeframe

10:51

Send us a text We explore the different types of pressure in basketball and identify the true contending teams in the WNBA for the 2025 season. • Basketball pressure is earned through past performance and proving oneself • The New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, and Minnesota Lynx are the only true contending teams • Teams like the Fever, Dream, Mercury, and Storm still need to prove themselves • Three distinct types of pressure exist: basketball pressure, social media pressure, and casual fan expectations • Social media pressure creates narratives like Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers to drive viewership • Casual fan expectations often misunderstand basketball roles and specialization • The Fever have potential but face cohesion and injury challenges Please make sure to like, subscribe, comment, and tell anyone who's anyone about the show.

Send us a text The 2025 NBA Conference Finals ended with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers advancing to the Finals, defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks respectively. We break down what went wrong for both losing teams and examine potential changes they should make to improve their championship chances. • The Knicks need to determine if Jalen Brunson can be a true #1 option on a championship team • Karl-Anthony Towns proved to be a solid second option but recorded zero blocks against the Pacers • Tom Thibodeau was fired as Knicks coach - potential replacements include Chris Quinn and Jay Wright • The Knicks should focus on better utilizing their depth and finding complementary players for their stars • Minnesota's identity of "Anthony Edwards and defense" wasn't enough to get past OKC • The Timberwolves must decide whether to run it back with Randle or find Edwards a more consistent co-star • Edwards showed maturity in defeat, expressing disappointment about letting Mike Conley down • Scottie Barnes could be an ideal running mate for Edwards - comparable to a Pippen-Jordan dynamic • Both OKC and Indiana feature former champions (Siakam and Caruso) who bring valuable playoff experience • The Finals begin June 5th with OKC as the slight favorite Please like, subscribe, comment, and tell anyone who's anyone about the show.

11:39

Send us a text Basketball fan bases can be incredibly annoying, with some deserving more criticism than others based on their behavior and attitudes toward other teams. • Lakers fans might have a reputation for being annoying, but their historic success since the 1940s justifies their pride • Warriors fans are more annoying due to their relatively recent success and excessive boasting • Knicks fans earn the title of "the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA" for their unjustified championship expectations with minimal success • Philadelphia 76ers fans continue with "Trust the Process" despite years without significant playoff achievements • Celtics fans can be particularly unbearable with their constant team talk regardless of playoff status • Indiana Fever fans top the WNBA list because of Caitlyn Clark's "unnecessarily loyal" fans who form opinions without watching games • Chicago Sky fans have become defensive due to the Clark-Reese rivalry but sometimes fail to hold players accountable • Liberty fans get a pass for now after their championship but could become more annoying without continued success Comment below with who you think is the most annoying basketball fan base in both the NBA and WNBA.

The Rigged NBA Draft Lottery? 9:25

25 days ago9:25

9:25

Send us a text The NBA Draft Lottery for 2025 has delivered shocking results with the Dallas Mavericks securing the number one pick for Cooper Flagg despite having extremely low odds compared to teams like the Washington Wizards who finished at the bottom for consecutive years. This outcome follows a suspicious pattern where teams receive top picks after significant player movements, raising serious questions about whether the lottery system is truly random or rigged to create marketable storylines. • Historical pattern shows teams getting first picks after star trades (Cavs after LeBron left, Pelicans after AD left) • Washington Wizards remained second-worst team for consecutive years yet couldn't secure the top pick • Dallas Mavericks were merely injured last season, not truly one of the league's worst teams • Cooper Flagg in Washington could have been marketed as "The American Flagg" • Pairing Flagg with Luka and Kyrie creates immediate storylines and marketability • Ernst & Young's auditing process now under scrutiny from skeptical fans • Spurs secured second pick despite seven teams having worse records Please make sure to like, subscribe, comment, and tell anyone who's anyone about the show.
