Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) invites Jordan Hayles (@MR_STiXX), a video editor for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and the host of the "YO STiXX Podcast," onto the program. The two discuss the impact the recent Black Lives Matter protests have had on Jordan (2:42), what goes through his mind when he hears "All Lives Matter," (7:35) what I can do better as a White man to be a stronger ally to the Black community (10:07), the lack of diversity and representation in the media (14:45), the recent "Blackout Tuesday" initiative on social media (23:57), and how basketball writers have an added responsibility to use their platform to take a stand on issues affecting Black people (28:03). Jordan also talks about a recent episode of his podcast where he opened up about his separation, going to therapy, and how rough 2019 was for him personally (31:20), while also chiming in on the Toronto Raptors and how his expectations may have changed following this layoff (39:32). And in his final rapid-fire questioning, Jordan recommends some can't-miss eateries in Scarborough, what it was like getting retweeted by Zendaya, his thoughts on the new Miles Morales Spider-Man video game, some final slander for anyone who believes the Raptors were lucky to win a championship, and much more.
