🍝 Extra Sauce 🍝 024: Holocaust Reparations, Healthy Relationships, and a chat with Mack Wilds

TOGETHER WITH

This Friday helping of Extra Sauce is brought to you by Nom Nom — healthy, fresh food for dogs formulated by top Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionists. 🐶

Happy Friday! We hope that your week was good and not too stressful. It’s time to kick your feet up and read some good news that will boost your mood as you head into the weekend. Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

• Good news everywhere! (Reparations for holocaust survivors, Yale providing prison education, and more)

• New 1AND1 Picks for this week

• A note from Minaa about healthy platonic relationships

• Special guest Tristan Mack Wilds from the popular TV Show The Wire joins the podcast

• The German government has made the decision to pay more than $1.4 billion to Holocaust survivors across the globe in the next year. This includes $535 million in direct payments to victims of the Nazis and $890 million in welfare programs for seniors as they age.

• Last week, Yale and the University of New Haven hosted a graduation ceremony in a prison, where 7 men received degrees as a part of the Yale Prison Education Initiative (YPEI) at Dwight Hall at Yale. A news release states the partnership was formed thanks to the support of a $1.5 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in an effort to provide degrees to incarcerated students and career opportunities after graduation. Not only does this provide second chances, but lower recidivism which helps the overall community 👏 

• 11-year-old Asian elephant Chhouk injured his foot in a snare trap and would not have been able to walk again if it wasn’t for a donation from Paradise Wildlife Park in the U.K. Every six months, Chhouk gets a new prosthetic foot made from recycled car tires and tow truck strapping. It’s things like this that make us smile 🐘 

This week, our Expert’s have got some grips to help you build stronger arms, a medicine ball that is crucial for you and your strength + conditioning, and the best earphones for high-intensity workouts.
