Padma Lakshmi children’s book serves up memories, food advice and recipes - Chicago Sun-Times

NEW YORK — Neela is a young girl who loves cooking with her mom. Saturday is her favorite day of the week. That’s the day they go to the green market.

So begins Padma Lakshmi’s charming entry into the world of children’s book, “Tomatoes For Neela,” which mixes the author’s memories of family cooking with practical food advice, a nod to farmworkers and even a pair of recipes.

“It is just a very small personal story that centers around a young single mother who also is a recipe writer like me,” says Lakshmi, the host of Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Taste the Nation” on Hulu. “It’s just really about teaching children how to cook from an early age, respecting Mother Nature and eating when things are in season.”

Neela and her mom make a sauce using tomatoes bought from the green market and create enough to jar some for winter, saving it to share with grandmother when she next visits from India. In the meantime, the grandmother gazes down from framed photos, present in spirt. Neela carefully writes down all the recipes.

The book mixes the author’s memories of cooking with her family with practical food advice, a nod to farmworkers and even a pair of recipes.

There’s also a lesson in tomato history, with Neela discussing the fruit’s origin in Latin America and that some cultures actually feared them. She learns that different types — like heirlooms or cherry — are good for various dishes. She uses plum tomatoes to make her sauce because they have less seeds.

“Through food, my grandmother and my mother taught me so much about life and culture and being a person in the world. And so I’m hoping that, through this book, I can encourage families to actively cook together, to value the recipes that they’ve been making for their family get togethers and also to remember all of the different people who bring us our food and to be mindful of our environment,” says Lakshmi.

The words are brought to life with beautiful artwork by Juana Martinez-Neal, who was awarded a Caldecott Honor for “Alma and How She Got Her Name.” Lakshmi shared an online folder of family photos to help make Neela and her mom resemble the author and her daughter, while Martinez-Neal tapped into her own memories of going to markets in Peru for fresh produce to recreate a bustling green market.

Her images are full of life and textures and movement, giving the reader a sense of a busy kitchen full of love, with warm smells and mom’s bangles creating a gentle rhythm as she slices.

“It could feel like something very flat and two dimensional, but we tried to bring it to a full, sensory experience — we have sound, we have taste. We have the feel of everything,” says Martinez-Neal.

The idea of adding farmworkers to the book came from a suggestion by Martinez-Neal. “It’s so easy to forget who is doing that work,” she says. Lakshmi loved the idea and added context and reference material about farmworkers at the end of the book.

“We often don’t consider the many hands that have an impact on our diets, on our daily lives. And what the pandemic has shown us is how valuable everyone in the food chain is and how they should be valued,” says Lakshmi.

The germ of the book was triggered when Lakshmi’s real-life daughter, Krishna, came home several years ago craving a pomegranate. It was summer and her mother explained that pomegranates grow in the fall. Now was the season for tomatoes.

“I wanted to talk about when fruits and vegetables grew in season because, if you’re a kid and everything is available to you all the time, you have no way of knowing why we should eat certain things at certain time,” she says. “Mother Nature has a plan that we should live in harmony with.”

On the last page, Lakshmi dedicated the book to her daughter “who gives meaning to everything,” a fitting thanks for a work from two female artists who are celebrating their families through food.

“It’s a hugely autobiographical book,” says Lakshmi. “I am not a children’s author. I don’t have experience writing for this audience beyond just making up stories at bedtime for my own child. So I needed to write about something I knew.”

Tips on what to look for in adult day care providers - Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Dear Savvy Senior: Can you offer any tips on choosing a good adult day care provider for an elderly parent? My 81-year-old father, who just moved in with me, has dementia and needs attention during the day while I’m at work. — Need Assistance

Dear Need: Adult day care services can be a great option for caregivers who work or for those who just need a break during the day. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you find and choose one.

Adult day care

The business of adult day care services has grown rapidly in recent years. According to the National Adult Day Serv­ices Association, there are upward of 4,600 adult day centers across the U.S., the result of a 35% increase in older adults since 2002. Those centers provide services to more than 260,000 participants and family caregivers, which is a whopping 63% increase over the past two decades.

As the name implies, adult day care provides care for seniors who cannot care for themselves at home. While services will vary from center to center, they typically provide personal care, meals and snacks, various activities and social interaction in a safe, supportive environment. Additionally, many centers provide health serv­ices such as medication management, various therapies, exercise and transportation to and from the facility.

Adult day care centers generally operate programs during normal business hours five days a week. However, some centers might offer services in the evenings and on weekends, too.

Costs for care will vary as well, usually between $25 to more than $100 per day (the national average is $75 a day), depending on where you live.

Unfortunately, in most cases original Medicare does not pay for adult day care, but some Medicare Advantage plans and many long-term care insurance policies do. But most seniors or their families pay for care out-of-pocket.

If your dad is lower- income and can’t afford this, state Medicaid programs provide financial assistance if he meets eligibility requirements, and some states have PACE programs that provide financial aid. Contact your state Medicaid office (see Medicaid.gov) for more information. The VA even provides adult day care to eligible veterans enrolled in their Medical Benefits Package. See VA.gov/geriatrics to learn more.

How to choose

Your first step in shopping for an adult day center is to determine the kinds of services your dad needs and that you need as a caregiver. After you do that, here are some tips to help you locate and choose a good provider.

Start by contacting your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number) to get referrals to adult day service programs in your area. You can also search the National Adult Day Services Association database at NADSA.org/locator.

Once you have a list of a few centers, call them to find out eligibility criteria, whether they offer the types of services your dad needs, whether they are accepting new clients, their hours of operation, whether they’re licensed and/or registered with a state agency (this is not required in all states) and what they charge.

After you identify a few good centers, go in for a visit. Find out about the staffing ratio (at least 1 staff member for every 6 participants is recommended) and what kind of training they have. While you’re there, notice the cleanliness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem friendly and knowledgeable? Also, be sure to taste the food, and consider making an unannounced visit.

To help you rate your visit, NADSA offers a helpful checklist of questions to ask at NADSA.org — click on “Site Visit Checklist” under the “For Caregivers” tab.

Then, after your visit, be sure to check their references. Get names and phone numbers of at least two or three families who have used the center you are considering, and call them.

Terrible TikTok investment tips to steer clear of - MarketWatch

This article is reprinted by permission from NerdWallet. 

This article provides information for educational purposes. NerdWallet does not offer advisory or brokerage services, nor does it recommend specific investments, including stocks, securities or cryptocurrencies.

Do-it-yourself is fine when the stakes are low; everything you need to know about patching drywall is on TikTok. But what about when the stakes are high? Would you rewire your home after watching a few TikTok videos? Probably not, and the same logic goes for financial advice.

Pouring your savings into an investment — or any product — being hawked on social media is generally a bad idea. But how will you know which bits of advice are legitimate, and which are bunk? Below, experts weigh in on the worst investment advice they’ve seen recently on TikTok and other social media.

1. ‘The FIRE movement is for everyone’

FIRE stands for “financial independence, retire early,” and given how the movement has spread on social media, the acronym is apt. Chris Woods, a certified financial planner and founder of LifePoint Financial Group in Alexandria, Virginia, says that many of the core tenets of the FIRE movement are great: They focus on lowering your expenses, saving heavily, putting money into diversified index funds and generating multiple streams of income to help you retire early, which may all be sound financial decisions.

Read: What is true financial freedom?

The problem is, everyone’s financial situation is different. Financial planners spend a lot of time upfront learning as much as they can about someone’s unique financial standing before making any recommendations. And for some, he says, the FIRE movement may be an appropriate goal. But it’s not for everyone, and sound bites from social media influencers can’t take your personal situation into consideration.

“So many people will do what these influencers are saying, even if it’s not the appropriate thing for them,” Woods says. “That’s one of my big overarching disappointments or gripes with the influencers out there. Because a lot of times, they’re talking about this stuff without context.”

The next time you see someone living their best #vanlife and boasting how they retired at 30, remember you’re seeing a highlight reel, Woods says. Their financial situation may have been completely different from yours, and there’s no guarantee what worked for them is right for you.

2. ‘Forget about 401(k)s and IRAs’

There’s a thought out there that boring, long-established wealth-building strategies, such as funding retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs, are outdated.

“This is all so faulty and so bad I don’t know where to start,” says Tiffany Kent, a CFP and portfolio manager at Wealth Engagement LLC in Atlanta.

Kent says that to stand out on social media, someone can’t just talk about typical retirement accounts over and over again, no matter how proven they are. Boring doesn’t inspire viewers to smash that “like” button.

Instead, they talk up new, complicated — and at times confusing — products, simply to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes the ideas are a bit contrarian, other times they’re outright outlandish. But this approach, Kent says, is absolutely the wrong way to get financial advice.

“If it’s boring, it’s good,” Kent says.

3. ‘Precious metals are the best long-term play’

Gene McManus, a CFP, certified public accountant and managing partner at AP Wealth Management in Augusta, Georgia, said by email that he’s seen claims that precious metals IRAs (which invest in gold and silver instead of stocks and bonds) are a better choice than typical IRAs.

He said acolytes of the strategy argue that precious metals IRAs better protect your money from things like inflation, global supply shortages or a collapse of the financial markets.

But McManus disagrees.

“The long-term history and performance of gold and silver do not indicate that they are a rewarding asset class,” he said. “There are short-term periods that they might outperform the S&P 500, but over the long term, they don’t make sense to own, especially exclusively or overweight in a portfolio.”

4. ‘Hundreds of thousands of people can’t be wrong’

It’s true that there’s power in numbers. However, it’s equally fair to say that mob mentality, echo chambers and hype can get in the way of rational decision making. Anthony Trias, a CFP and principal at Stonebridge Financial Group in San Rafael, California, says he’s worked with clients who are investing in stocks they’ve heard mentioned on social media — no matter how staggering the claims of future potential — because of how many people were talking them up.

“There are going to be 300,000 people on social media saying one thing,” Trias says. “But prudent investors block out the noise, do their due diligence and look at who they’re actually listening to.”

Trias also echoes Woods’ concerns. Validating investment ideas based on social media hype is problematic, he says, because investment decisions should be highly tailored to you and your needs — and that’s just not possible on social media.

5. ‘Your cryptocurrency will absolutely go to the moon’

All the rocket emoji in the world couldn’t give a valueless cryptocurrency long-term staying power, no matter who’s pumping it.

Clayton Moore, founder and CEO at crypto-payment system NetCents Technology, said by email that while engaging platforms like TikTok have been instrumental in spreading the word about cryptocurrencies, they’ve also become breeding grounds for fraud.

“You’ve got to watch out for the crypto influencer who’s just in it for a quick buck,” he said. “The classic pump and dump.”

Moore said it’s common for crypto influencers to accept payment in exchange for making wild claims about a coin, only to abandon their support for it once the check clears.

“If it is too good to be true, 99% of the time, it is,” Moore said.

NRL Round 25 Line-ups, verdicts, tips, odds, everything you need to know for the weekend - ESPN

Here it is, the final round of the NRL season and hasn't it thrown up some potentially brilliant clashes. There's so much to play for with three teams battling it out for eighth position and three teams battling it out for fourth position. Even the minor premiership is not yet secure.

Some teams are resting players, while others are going all out, it makes for some tough tipping.

Good luck with your tips.

Jump ahead to a particular game.
Raiders vs. Roosters
Sharks vs. Storm
Eels vs. Panthers
Broncos vs. Knights
Cowboys vs. Sea Eagles
Rabbitohs vs. Dragons
Titans vs. Warriors
Tigers vs. Bulldogs


Thursday, September 2

Canberra Raiders vs Sydney Roosters, BB Print Stadium, Mackay, 7:50pm (AEST)

Raiders: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Harley Smith-Shields 3. Sebastian Kris 4. Matthew Timoko 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Jack Wighton 7. Matt Frawley 8. Josh Papalii 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Iosia Soliola Bench: 14. Emre Guler 15. Ryan Sutton 16. Corey Horsburgh 17. Siliva Havili Reserves: 18. Sam Williams 19. Semi Valemei 20. Elijah Anderson 21. Trey Mooney

Roosters: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Josh Morris 4. Adam Keighran 5. Matt Ikuvalu 6. Drew Hutchison 7. Lachlan Lam 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Sam Verrills 10. Siosiua Taukeiaho 11. Angus Crichton 12. Sitili Tupouniua 13. Isaac Liu Bench: 14. Sam Walker 15. Egan Butcher 16. Ben Marschke 17. Tukupa Hau Tapuha Reserves: 18. Moala Graham-Taufa 19. Brad Abbey 20. Naufahu Whyte 21. Daniel Suluka-Fifita

Verdict: The Raiders have to win this game if they are to have any hope of keeping their finals chances alive. The Roosters were rocked last week by the Rabbitohs and have lost key attacking weapon Joseph Manu for the season. This promises to be a fantastic game, as the Roosters start the round with an outside chance of still finishing fourth. Do the Raiders deserve a spot in the finals?

Tip: Roosters by 4

TAB odds: Raiders $1.80 (-1.5 $1.90) Roosters $2 (+1.5 $1.90)


Friday, September 3

Cronulla Sharks vs. Melbourne Storm, Cbus Super Stadium, 6:00pm (AEST)

Sharks: 1. Will Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Connor Tracey 4. Jesse Ramien 5. Mawene Hiroti 6. Matt Moylan 7. Braydon Trindall 8. Toby Rudolf 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Aaron Woods 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Jack Williams Bench: 14. Luke Metcalf 15. Braden Hamlin-Uele 16. Aiden Tolman 17. Siosifa Talakai Reserves: 18. Kai O'Donnell 19. Billy Magoulias 20. Jenson Taumoepeau 21. Joniah Lualua

Storm: 1. Ryan Papenhuyzen 2. George Jennings 3. Marion Seve 4. Justin Olam 5. Dean Ieremia 6. Nicholas Hynes 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Tui Kamikamica 9. Brandon Smith 10. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 11. Aaron Pene 12. Chris Lewis 13. Dale Finucane Bench: 14. Harry Grant 15. Tepai Moeroa 16. Jordan Grant 17. Ryley Jacks Reserves: 18. Cooper Johns 19. Daniel Atkinson 20. Trent Loiero 21. Isaac Lumelume

Verdict: The Sharks face a painful scenario coming into the final round. They will know where they stand with the Raiders, as they play the night before, but also have to worry about the Titans having a good win over the Warriors on Sunday. They could nail down a spot in the finals, they simply have to beat the Storm, who will be fired up after losing last week to the Eels. The good news? The Storm are resting key players. How good can the desperate Sharks be against the cruising Storm?

Tip: Sharks by 4

TAB odds: Sharks $2.75 (+6.5 $1.90) Storm $1.44 (-6.5 $1.90)


Parramatta Eels vs. Penrith Panthers, AAMI Park, 7:55pm (AEST)

Eels: 1. Hayze Perham 2. Haze Dunster 3. Tom Opacic 4. Michael Oldfield 5. Blake Ferguson 6. Will Smith 7. Jakob Arthur 8. Oregon Kaufusi 9. Joey Lussick 10. Makahesi Makatoa 11. Bryce Cartwright 12. Keegan Hipgrave 13. Ray Stone Bench: 14. Samuel Loizou 15. Ky Rodwell 16. Shaun Lane 17. Sean Russell Reserves: 18. Viliami Penisini 19. Isaiah Papali'i 20. Nathan Brown 21. Dylan Brown

Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Stephen Crichton 3. Paul Momirovski 4. Matt Burton 5. Brian To'o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. James Fisher-Harris 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Kurt Capewell 13. Isaah Yeo Bench: 14. Tyrone May 15. Scott Sorensen 16. Tevita Pangai Junior 17. Liam Martin Reserves: 18. Spencer Leniu 19. Izack Tago 20. Taylan May 21. Mitch Kenny

Verdict: Another sensational final round clash as these two prepare for their finals runs. The Panthers were too good for the Tigers last week, while the Eels shocked the rugby league world by upsetting the Storm. If the Eels win this one, fans everywhere will be back to believing they can finally break their premiership drought. The Panthers will know, based on the Storm result, whether they can grab the minor premiership, while the Eels still have an outside chance of finishing in the Top 4.

Tip: Panthers by 16

TAB odds: Eels $6.50 (+21.5 $1.95) Panthers $1.10 (-21.5 $1.85)


Saturday, September 4

Brisbane Broncos vs. Newcastle Knights, Suncorp Stadium, 3:00pm (AEST)

Broncos: 1. Tesi Niu 2. Corey Oates 3. Selwyn Cobbo 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Xavier Coates 6. Anthony Milford 7. Albert Kelly 8. Ethan Bullemor 9. Jake Turpin 10. Payne Haas 11. Alex Glenn 12. Jordan Riki 13. Kobe Hetherington Bench: 14. Cory Paix 15. David Mead 16. Rhys Kennedy 17. TC Robati Reserves: 18. Danny Levi 19. Brodie Croft 20. Jesse Arthars 21. Jamayne Isaako

Knights: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Enari Tuala 3. Kurt Mann 4. Bradman Best 5. Starford To'a 6. Jake Clifford 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. David Klemmer 9. Chris Randall 10. Sauaso Sue 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Brodie Jones 13. Connor Watson Bench: 14. Phoenix Crossland 15. Jirah Momoisea 16. Josh King 17. Jack Johns Reserves: 18. Dominic Young 19. Pasami Saulo 20. Tex Hoy 21. Simi Sasagi

Verdict: The Knights ensured their place in the finals with a win over the Titans last week, while the Broncos looked good in parts on their way to another loss, this time to the Sharks. The Broncos will want to finish off the season on a high at home, while the Knights will be desperate to maintain winning momentum going into the finals. This is a danger game for the Knights, but if they can't switch on and win this, they might as well not turn up the week after.

Tip: Knights by 2

TAB odds: Broncos $1.80 (-1.5 $1.90) Knights $2 (-1.5 $1.90)


North Queensland Cowboys vs. Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Queensland Country Bank Stadium, 5:30pm (AEST)

Cowboys: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Ben Hampton 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Scott Drinkwater 7. Tom Dearden 8. Coen Hess 9. Reece Robson 10. Jordan McLean 11. Ben Condon 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Jason Taumalolo Bench: 14. Jake Granville 15. Heilum Luki 16. Mitchell Dunn 17. Griffin Neame Reserves: 18. Tom Gilbert 19. Daejarn Asi 20. Lachlan Burr 21. Connelly Lemuelu

Sea Eagles: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jason Saab 3. Brad Parker 4. Morgan Harper 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Josh Aloiai 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Martin Taupau 11. Haumole Olakau'atu 12. Josh Schuster 13. Jake Trbojevic Bench: 14. Dylan Walker 15. Karl Lawton 16. Sean Keppie 17. Taniela Paseka Reserves: 18. Toafofoa Sipley 19. Moses Suli 20. Curtis Sironen 21. Kurt De Luis

Verdict: A disappointing season for the Cowboys draws to a close, with one last chance to impress their home fans. Depending on the Eels and Roosters results, the Sea Eagles may need this to take the vital Top 4 position. This could either be a ding dong battle or a complete Cowboys capitulation. Could we see another Tom Trbojevic hat-trick?

Tip: Sea Eagles by 26

TAB odds: Cowboys $8 (+22.5 $1.85) Sea Eagles $1.07 (-22.5 $1.95)


South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. St George Illawarra Dragons, Sunshine Coast Stadium, 7:35pm (AEST)

Rabbitohs: 1. Blake Taaffe 2. Taane Milne 3. Braidon Burns 4. Campbell Graham 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Benji Marshall 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Peter Mamouzelos 10. Patrick Mago 11. Jaydn Su'A 12. Jacob Host 13. Mark Nicholls Bench: 14. Dean Hawkins 15. Tautau Moga 16. Jed Cartwright 17. Davvy Moale Reserves: 18. Jai Arrow 19. Cameron Murray 20. Alex Johnston 21. Cody Walker

Dragons: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mathew Feagai 3. Jack Bird 4. Gerard Beale 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Talatau Amone 7. Corey Norman 8. Blake Lawrie 9. Jayden Sullivan 10. Josh Mcguire 11. Billy Burns 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jack de Belin Bench: 14. Freddy Lussick 15. Tyrell Fuimaono 16. Daniel Alvaro 17. Poasa Faamausili Reserves: 18. Jackson Ford 19. Adam Clune 20. Cody Ramsey 21. Kaide Ellis

Verdict: The Rabbitohs had a massive win last week against the Roosters and lost Latrell Mitchell for the season in the process. For the Dragons this game represents their last chance to salvage something from a horrible season, but they look like they've been on Mad Monday duties since Paul Vaughan threw his infamous BBQ. The final score will come down to how hard the Rabbitohs want to play this one out.

Tip: Rabbitohs by 18

TAB odds: Rabbitohs $1.32 (-10.5 $1.90) Dragons $3.30 (+10.5 $1.90)


Sunday, September 5

Gold Coast Titans vs. New Zealand Warriors, Cbus Super Stadium, 2:00pm (AEST)

Titans: 1. Jayden Campbell 2. Phillip Sami 3. Brian Kelly 4. Patrick Herbert 5. Corey Thompson 6. Tyrone Peachey 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Jarrod Wallace 9. Mitch Rein 10. Moeaki Fotuaika 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Beau Fermor 13. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui Bench: 14. Erin Clark 15. David Fifita 16. Jaimin Jolliffe 17. Sam McIntyre Reserves: 18. Greg Marzhew 19. Sam Lisone 20. Toby Sexton 21. Anthony Don

Warriors: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Peta Hiku 4. Rocco Berry 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Chanel Harris-Tavita 7. Sean O'Sullivan 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10. Matt Lodge 11. Josh Curran 12. Euan Aitken 13. Bayley Sironen Bench: 14. Kodi Nikorima 15. Eliesa Katoa 16. Kane Evans 17. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown Reserves: 18. Jazz Tevaga 20. Adam Pompey 21. Jack Murchie 22. Edward Kosi

Verdict: By kick-off the Titans will know whether they still have a chance to make the finals and exactly what they have to do to get there. The tired old Warriors will have one foot on the plane back to New Zealand, but will want to leave their home away from home with one last victory. The Titans have been disappointing when they seemingly had everything to play for previously. This is a really tough game to pick, but the Titans should win.

Tip: Titans by 10

TAB odds: Titans $1.28 (-11.5 $1.90) Warriors $3.60 (+11.5 $1.90)


Wests Tigers vs. Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Moreton Daily Stadium, Redcliffe, 4:05pm (AEST)

Tigers: 1. Moses Mbye 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Tommy Talau 4. Michael Chee Kam 5. Ken Maumalo 6. Jock Madden 7. Luke Brooks 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Thomas Mikaele 11. Shawn Blore 12. Luciano Leilua 13. Alex Twal Bench: 14. Joe Ofahengaue 15. Jake Simpkin 16. Tom Amone 17. Kelma Tuilagi Reserves: 18. James Roberts 19. Reece Hoffman 20. Zac Cini 21. Tuki Simpkins

Bulldogs: 1. Nick Meaney 2. Corey Allan 3. Will Hopoate 4. Aaron Schoupp 5. Jayden Okunbor 6. Brandon Wakeham 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Ava Seumanufagai 9. Sione Katoa 10. Jack Hetherington 11. Corey Waddell 12. Joe Stimson 13. Josh Jackson Bench: 14. Bailey Biondi-Odo 15. Ofahiki Ogden 16. Chris Patolo 17. Jackson Topine Reserves: 19. Falakiko Manu 20. Dylan Napa 21. Jake Averillo 22. Watson Heleta

Verdict: Both of these teams will be very anxious to finish this awful season, while hoping for better things in 2022. The Tigers seem to have lost all motivation, while the Bulldogs give it a red-hot crack each week until they are undone by a painful lack of talent. I can see the Bulldogs causing one last upset here as they farewell a large part of their playing group, most of whom will be lucky to play first grade anywhere else next year.

Tip: Bulldogs by 6

TAB odds: Tigers $1.44 (-7.5 $1.90) Bulldogs $2.75 (+7.5 $1.90)

Trick Daddy Makes Startling 'Drink Champs' Confession - HipHopDX

New York, NY – Trick Daddy was the most recent guest on REVOLT‘s popular podcast series Drink Champs. Par for the course, the conversation got a little wild as more alcohol was consumed. But one particular segment led to Trick Daddy becoming a trending Twitter topic on Monday night (August 30).

At one point in the discussion, Drink Champs co-host N.O.R.E. was trying to clarity on what Trick meant by “women support the booty game,” to which Trick Daddy said, “Women eat the booty, too. Yeah, I get ate out.”

As N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN sat there in shock, unsure of how to respond, Noreaga asks, “You don’t have your legs in the air though.” Trick responds, “It depends,” and the whole room erupts in laughter.

Drink Champs was trending for an entirely different reason last week after N.O.R.E. referred to Wu-Tang Clan affiliates Sunz of Man as “flunkies,” while DJ EFN and guest Mickey Factz laughed along.

After Shyheim and Killarmy caught wind of the situation, the Killa Beez swarmed, and all of those involved in the initial situation ultimately either apologized or admitted they were wrong.

“It takes a lot for someone to admit when they were wrong, so I do give him that,” Killarmy general 9th Prince told HipHopDX. “I also feel like Drink Champs should of had a few other Killa Beez on that FaceTime, so they can let their knowledge manifest through their wisdom on how they feel.”

He added, “The only real way to solve this is to have Sunz of Man and Killarmy on the show and apologize while we are all in the presence of each other and on the show, so that the fans and all the other Wu-Tang Killa Beez can see his apology is real and sincere.”

N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN have since invited Shyheim to be on an upcoming episode of the show, but it’s unclear if he’s accepted their invitation yet.

Meanwhile, fans of the show can’t stop their memes from flowing following Trick Daddy’s confession. Check out some of the best reactions below.
