I'm a play-by-play commentator for basketball as well as other sports. I'm the voice of the American Basketball Association and the Venice Basketball League. This episode contains language and content, including discussion of sexual assault that may not be appropriate for all listeners. Discretion is advised. [music comes in] Earlonne Woods: Hey, Nigel. Hold on. Nigel Poor: Yes. Yes. Earlonne: Those are some nice pants you got on. Nigel: Oh! What do you like about them? Earlonne: They're like 70-ish, but 2021. Nigel: Well, you know that’s me. 70’s coming in 2021. But… you know what I’m really happy about today? 1 Earlonne: Whatchu happy about? Nigel: I'm really happy that we are actually back in our office recording in an official studio and kind of out of our closets. But… there’s something else I’m happy about. And that is… you got your jab! Earlonne: Ah [sighs]… Nigel: [chuckles] Thank you. Earlonne: I was reluctant… Nigel: I know. Earlonne: You know, I didn’t wanna take the vaccine. Nigel: I know. Earlonne: I wanted everyone else to take it, so I don’t have to take it. [Nigel affirms] But based on the work we do and probably going back inside the institutions, I had to get my jab. Nigel: I’m just so happy you did it, so thank you. Earlonne: Definitely. Nigel: So now we’re ready to go out there. With masks… Earlonne: Of course. We’re ready to get into the thick of things. Nigel: Yes. Earlonne: And speaking of that… Nigel: Yeah? Earlonne: Let's get into this episode. Nigel: Alright. 2 [music fades out] [abstract industrial transition comes in] [to Isaac] Nigel: We have a nickname for your bakery. I want to know what you think of it. Isaac: OK. Nigel: We call it the “Lifer Bakery”. Isaac: The Lifer. [as narrator] Earlonne: This is Isaac. [to Isaac] Nigel: We started calling it that because you hire a lot of formerly incarcerated people. Earlonne: [in the background] Lifers. Nigel: Lifers. Isaac: Well, I mean, “The Lifer” can have many meanings. Nigel: It’s true. Isaac: It's actually... sounds like a positive name. [music comes in] Nigel: Yeah, totally. Earlonne: Customers for life. Nigel: Yeah. Well, also, like food… bread, all that stuff gives you life. Isaac: I like the name. No, it's a good name [Nigel laughs] Nigel: I’m Nigel Poor. 3 Earlonne: And I’m Earlonne Woods. This is Ear Hustle, from PRX’s Radiotopia. [theme music comes in] Dun-dun-dundun-dun. [mimicking bass drop in theme] [music fades out] Earlonne: So Nyge. [Nigel affirms]. We’ve been calling it “Lifer Bakery” Nigel: We have. Earlonne: But the government name for Isaac’s place is Frena Bakery. [music comes in] Nigel: That’s right. Frena Bakery. It’s in downtown San Francisco. And Earlonne, I’m not gonna say it’s in the most charming neighborhood… Earlonne: Uh… it’s a rough part of town. But Frena is kind of an oasis for that area. [Nigel affirms] It’s got this nice orange awning out front and it’s really welcoming, you know? [Nigel affirms] [ambient noise from Frena Bakery comes in - two soft beeps as front door of bakery opens] Nigel: So, you walk in and the first thing you see is this really beautiful brick oven painted orange. But then, your eyes go down to this glass counter and inside of that, are all these Jewish and Middle Eastern staples and delights… like, challah and other sweets and savories. But Earlonne, my favorite thing… [Earlonne affirms] is this amazing pita bread. Earlonne: Oh yeah, I seen you in there. [rubs hands together vigorously] Nigel: Oh! It’s so fluffy! Earlonne: And Isaac is the guy in charge. We heard him a couple minutes ago. Isaac: In Israel, a bakery–c when you say the word bakery, it’s different than saying bakery here. In Israel, the idea of bakery is not just sweets, but it's also savory. And that's what we have here. Like you just ate the pocket with the feta and green olives – it's a meal. And it's good for breakfast, lunch dinner, a night snack, share with friends. 4 Nigel: Isaac opened Frena Bakery about five years ago. And one day, he’s working at the counter and this guy strolls in. Isaac: He starts throwing some words in Hebrew, you know, ‘cause he learned Hebrew I guess when he was in prison. And he told me that he's looking for a job. And his name is, if I can say his name… [Nigel affirms] Carlos. Carlos: And he comes and he sits down at this table and this is how he talk, [imitating Isaac] ‘So, what do you want?’ I'm like, ‘I want a job.’ And I tell him just like this… I tell him, ‘But before we get into that, I'm gonna tell you about myself.’ I go, ‘I just got out of prison three days ago for doing 23 years for the murder of an innocent man. I've never had a job. I don't know how to bake, but I've always wanted to be a baker. I'm a hard worker. I got a college education. I'm a monster when it comes to working, like, I can really help you out’. He looks at me, ‘Eh, I hire you Sunday.’ I was like, ‘What the heck!?’ [music comes in] Earlonne: So, Carlos. Nigel: Yeah… Carlos. We’ve had him on the show a few times. And Earlonne, he’s amped up. His energy is intense. But I have to say, I totally enjoy being around him. Earlonne: Every time I see Carlos you know what comes to mind? [Nigel laughs] [imitating club music] Ooo-ch Ooo-ch Ooo-ch. ‘Cause that’s him. He’s just moving, he’s moving all the time. Nigel: Never stops, never stops. And when you talk to Carlos about his life, it’s just like one crazy thing after another. It always sounds impossible. But… Earlonne, I believe everything he says. Earlonne: Me too. [music fades out] [to Nigel] Carlos: I know ancient Greek. 5 Nigel: Oh, you do? [laughs] [Carlos affirms] Are you Greek? Carlos: I was actually only like 8% Mexican… English, Irish, Scottish, Spanish, Basque, Senegalese… I actually lived on a reservation for a while with some Morongan Indians… wrestled for about seven or eight years. I went three years undefeated. I was actually conceived in prison. Got cancer around the age of seven or eight. Nigel: Wait, wait. What?! [music comes in] Carlos: My father killed himself shortly after that. So, it was like a really traumatic time. So I ended up going back with my mom who was kind of, like, basically kind of homeless at that time. [as narrator] Earlonne: When Carlos was sixteen years old, he was out with a group of friends when they decided to rob a store. And in the process, one of Carlos’s friends shot and killed the guy who was working there. [music fades out] Nigel: Carlos was tried as an adult and sentenced to fifteen years to life. [music comes in] Carlos: Initially I went to YA…. As an adult, but get kicked to the pen, you know, you're scared. Nigel: How old were you when you…? Carlos: Went to the pen? Nigel: Yeah. Carlos: Eighteen. I remember when I first got busted, when I was getting booked, I remember the words of one of the officers. He said, ‘You beat cancer and you killed somebody?’ And him just looking at me like, “Pff.” And I was just like, ‘Ugh.’ [hits fist to his chest as if it were a knife] It's a knife to the chest. 6 [music fades out] [as narrator] Nigel: While Carlos was in prison, of course he stayed busy. He took college classes and learned a few languages… including Hebrew. Earlonne: And then, after 23 years locked up, Carlos got paroled. Nigel: Yeah. And when he got out it was pretty intense. I mean, Earlonne, he was 40 years old, and he was basically just starting his life outside, from scratch. Earlonne: Right. Carlos: I was very… reserved, confused. You know, I was really discombobulated. I didn't believe I was getting out. When I walked out of the prison, I just couldn't believe they were actually going to let me out. I thought up until the moment I got to the gate– I thought when I got to the car, they were still gonna call me back. Like, it just didn't seem real. So as those three days went on, I was… really… kind of like in a daze. Didn't feel real. Earlonne: The first thing Carlos really needed was a job. But he just had no idea about how to do that. Nigel: He was living in a transitional house. He met a woman there who told him about this bakery down the street where he could practice his Hebrew. [music fades out] And maybe… even find work. Earlonne: So, Carlos being Carlos, he just walked in and straight-up asked for a job. Isaac: And then he told me that he was… he just got out of jail. He was thirty years in prison. I wanted to hire him even more.

  • My Iranian Sukkah
    My Iranian Sukkah FARIDEH DAYANIM GOLDIN Every year after Yom Kippur, my husband Norman and I try to bring together the pieces of our sukkah, our temporary home for a week, a reminder of our frailty as Jews. Every year we wonder where we had last stored the metal frame, the bamboo roof, and the decorations. Every year we wonder about the weather. Will we have to dodge the raindrops and the wind once again this year for a quick bracha before eating inside? Will our sukkah stand up? Will there be a hurricane? I insisted on building a sukkah the fi rst time we had a yard. My husband protested that it would never last in Portsmouth, Virginia, remembering the sukkahs of his childhood and youth in that town, when his father, Milton, struggled to balance the wobbly structure in the more protected area outside the living room. Every year, my father-in-law had to bring it down in the middle of the holiday, fear- ing that strong winds from one hurricane or another would topple the sukkah against the building, bringing down bricks, glass, and the roof shingles. In Iran of my youth, we had no such worries. Every year, a month before the holiday, my father ordered four young trees from the town’s wood supplier. He made sure they were cut to the exact height and had the two largest branches trimmed in a V, like two hands ready to catch a ball.

  • Occurrences and Denotation of the Italian Lexical Type Pizza
    Rivista di Studi Indo-Mediterranei VIII (2018) Plurilingual e-journal of literary, religious, historical studies. website: http://kharabat.altervista.org/index.html Rivista collegata al Centro di Ricerca in “Filologia e Medievistica Indo-Mediterranea” (FIMIM) Università di Bologna cod. ANCE (Cineca-Miur) E213139 ISSN 2279-7025 Ephraim Nissan Occurrences and Denotation of the Italian Lexical Type pizza Further Data and Considerations about the Denotational Periphery, in Relation to the Historical Italian or North East Mediterranean and South East European Spread of Co-derivatives of the Type pitta/pizza Abstract: This study builds upon two earlier papers (Alinei and Nissan 2007; Nissan and Alinei 2013) which explored the etymology of the Italian lexical type pizza / pitta. The earliest sure Greek instance is in Theophilactus, who from 1090 to 1108 was bishop of Bulgaria with his seat in Ochrida. It is unclear whether the etymology could be traced to the fifth century C.E., to Hesychius’ glosses πήτεα: πίτυρα ‘bran’ and πητίτης: πιτύρινοι άρτοι ‘bran breads’. Alinei and Nissan (2007) proposed that Byzantine Greek borrowed pitta or pita from Christian Middle Aramaic, i.e., Syriac or some vernacular, as Aramaic pitta ‘bread’, cf. Hebrew pat, pitt- (historically, there were older developments in the biblical period, apparently, from such bread being suitable for tearing pieces from it). Note however that the borrowing from Middle Aramaic into Greek must have been late enough (thus, Byzantine) for the Northwest Semitic phoneme /p/ to have in the source language the allophones [p] and [f], rather than [φ] and [f] (which was still the case in Roman-age Hebrew, as opposed to early medieval Hebrew).
