Again, I appreciate you guys so much, you know, not just for the conversation we've been able to have and being able to have an opportunity to listen to you guys, but

that you would follow up and come on the pod because evidently all my other friends hate me.

Oh, so we're not getting paid for this?

This week we brought on all birds as a sponsor of the Green Light pod and the very first thing they did is tell us, don't pump our sneakers this week, it's not appropriate.

Which I think speaks volumes about them as a company and here's a statement from all birds.

Normally, this sponsored read would focus on what all birds does as a business and talk about one of our newest products, but there's something much more important happening in our country and around the world right now.

Acknowledging injustice is not the kind thing to do with the right thing to do. As a business, all birds has always stood for the planet and standing for the planet also means standing for its people.

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy all the earth's test offer without fearing for their lives because of the color of their skin.

And while we admit that we're not entirely sure what the right thing to do is at a time like this, we know that just stating our support isn't enough, we need to take action.

As a first step, all birds has contributed to organizations like the National Movement for Black Lives and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to support their efforts.

We encourage you to demand change and make your voices heard. Black Lives Matter.

Greenlight Pod, I'm Chris Long, your host and I will have guests today.

Starting out this week, I mean we've had a good week. I thought for a pod, I had nobody to talk about this with a few days back.

I did all right. I hate just having the floor with nobody to talk to, but it was fine.

Then I had Mark Cuban on. That was a great interview. It was awesome talking to Mark. Mark is one of those guys that you don't even know him. He just got that magnetism about him.

You liked the guy right off the bat, as soon as he popped on Zoom.

And it was a good talk. And he's somebody who's tried to put himself in other people's shoes. He's somebody that's kind of led by example.

From an ownership perspective in sports, obviously another stratosphere from the type of things that NFL owners do or say. I mean, Mark's in that stratosphere.

But I haven't had anybody black on the pod, which wasn't intentional.

This week is not about my perspective. It's about people who don't look like me and their perspective.

So I start freaking out because I've been kind of a procrastinator this week. I've just been kind of stressed, distracted.

The last thing I think about doing some days is the pod. And I do realize though that my pod can actually be a force for good and for understanding and conversation.
