Throughout the podcast, Morris discussed the water crisis, how he has been able to assist his community (so far), how the water crisis is hurting children more than anyone else, and how nothing has been done to solve the issue even after nearly five years of unusable and undrinkable water.
If you are looking for a way to donate, support, or help fund people who are trying to make a difference in Flint as the community suffers through this water crisis, here are a few ways to do so:
Reach out to the Flint Water Fund to donate money to supply residents with clean bottled water.
The Convoy of Hope is another charitable organization that takes donations that they then use to supply the city of Flint with clean water.
As Morris said in the interview, it is children who are usually most affected by the water crisis in Flint. You can donate to Save the Children or the Community Foundation of a Greater Flint which are organizations that specifically look to help educate and help kids in the area.

For the newest Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast, T.J. McBride recaps the Denver Nuggets' fifth preseason game of the 2018-19 season against the Chicago Bulls. Denver escaped with a 98-93 for the Nuggets fourth win in their five preseason games.
The Nuggets treated their final preseason game like a dress rehearsal. For the first three quarters of action, it was all about the starting unit. They played with a tenacity on defense that had not been seen from them in quite some time and they did enough on offense to give their bench unit a strong lead to work with.
Unfortunately, the bench unit was not as dominant as they have been throughout preseason, but they did just enough to squeak out a win over the Bulls.
The Nuggets preseason is now officially over and they will now head to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers on the night of October 17th.
For the newest Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast, T.J. McBride recaps the Nuggets fourth preseason game of the 2018-19 season against the Los Angeles Clippers, who defeated Denver 109-103 for the Nuggets first loss of the preseason.

In the return of the Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast, T.J. McBride recaps the Nuggets third preseason game against the Perth Wildcats of the Australian National Basketball League.

The Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast finally returns after technical difficulty to review the Denver Nuggets trade deadline acquisition, Devin Harris.

Denver desperately needed a veteran backup point guard and Harris did everything he could to fill the role admirably. This podcast discusses the good and bad of both his defensive and offensive game while also taking a deep look into the impending start of free agency as well as how Harris was able to fit throughout the year.
In the newest edition of the Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast, T.J. McBride dives into the outcome of the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery where history chose to repeat itself as Denver failed to move up once again.
The Nuggets will now prepare for the 2018 NBA Draft with the 14th pick as ammunition. The real question is not who Denver drafts at 14, but if they even draft there at all. With a very tight cap sheet, few additional roster spots, and the 14th pick in what is considered to be a 13 player draft, Tim Connelly and his staff will have to get creative with how they use their pick.
Denver could trade back, trade up, pick at 14, or just trade the pick entirely to move off of one of Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur, or Wilson Chandler's contracts. With so many options on the table, this Denver Nuggets Daily podcast is dedicated to outlining each potential situation.
The Denver Nuggets Daily podcast returns with T.J. McBride starting the end-of-season evaluations for each player on the roster. The first player up is Nuggets' starting point guard, Jamal Murray.
Murray took a massive leap forward as an offensive player and NBA contributor. He is becoming a lethal shooter, improved on his handles, and looked significantly more explosive. He has the makings of an ideal offensive running partner with Nikola Jokic and all of the skills to be one of the best bucket-getters in the NBA in time.
While his offensive game was terrific all season, his issues mainly lie on the defensive end of the floor. Murray struggled in every facet of defense and has a long ways to go before becoming serviceable on that end of the floor.
Now that the Denver Nuggets season has come to an explosive end after a 112-106 overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the final day of the season, there are lots of questions that remain as Denver heads into the 2018 offseason.
Some of those questions were answered and more questions were discovered during the Nuggets end of the season media availability so Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports came together for the final pick and pod of the Nuggets' 2017-18 season to discuss a plethora of different topics.
The Denver Nuggets have now won a season-long six-straight games after narrow victory against the Portland Trail Blazers in a game filled controversial storylines, some questionable officiating, and a whole lot of drama.
Somehow, the Nuggets came away with an 88-82 victory keeping their playoff hopes alive. This was a game that Denver just refused to lose. Instead of hoping that the other teams vying for playoff position in the Western Conference, the Nuggets took the fight to the third-seeded Trail Blazers coming away with the biggest win of the 2017-18 season.
Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports came together on the newest Pick and Pod postgame show to outline how improbable the win was, Nikola Jokic versus Jusuf Nurkic, Jokic's historic stat line, and how a Michael Malone technical turned the tide for the Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets came into their home matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves knowing that it was the most important and meaningful game of the entirety of the 2017-18 season. By the final buzzer, Denver had scraped, clawed, kicked, fought, and battled to come away with the most monumental victory of the year by a score of 100-96.

McBride of Mile High Sports discuss the insanity of the Nuggets' win over the Timberwolves on the newest edition of the Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast from the deep depths of the Pepsi Center after the game had concluded.

Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports discussed the Nuggets 107-104 victory over the Pacers and what it means for the Nuggets' playoff chances down the line.
The Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz have been connected at the hip in a plethora of different ways. Between their 21-year-old lead guards Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell, cornerstone centers in Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert, as well as controversial draft-day trades, it is hard not to draw similarities between each divisional opponent.
To discuss all of these things, T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports turned to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune to discuss all of the chaos surrounding each team.
