and this is the second interview with Coach Janice Meyer.

We discover:

• What kind of player was she
• How many 3-pointers she made
• What she considers a GOOD season
• Her drive

We thank Coach Meyer for her time, love, focus and intensity for basketball. With women's basketball on the rise nationally, Coach Meyer not only creates better teams, but also better people.

We could have spent easily 4 hours talking with our guest John Sipher! From his times at Cortland High, his stellar career playing lacrosse at Hobart to a nearly 3 decade career with the CIA - all of it fun and fascinating.

We talked with John about being in the CIA: was he safe, was he ever in danger, how did he get to the CIA.

And we also talk with John about his current venture, his podcast "MISSION IMPLAUSIBLE" where he and his co-host (another former CIA member)

talk about and dive into misinformation and conspiracies. GREAT STUFF!

You can find the podcast on iHEART Radio, and also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6LwYICkkm23o8SkfUvqtBO?si=_NHYk9bFSimm0jr1xfKzfw

The description from their podcast: As former high-level CIA operatives, John Sipher and Jerry O'Shea would create fake conspiracies around the world. Now, with the help of experts, they execute their own fun and fearless investigation into conspiracy theories past and present to assess what's real. And how. And why. THANK YOU John. Give his podcast a listen. Many times.

AKE Gallery. You can find the gallery and much, much more about Paul at :www.paulkozlowski.com Take a look at his site, and then go to the space itself to get a full feel of what Paul calls "well, mostly fake art".

There are more laughs to go around on this one - so enjoy.
