For the first time in U .S. history, the Speaker of the House has been removed. The chamber voted 216 to 210 to boot Kevin McCarthy from his job today in a historic vote forced by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. Gaetz was angry McCarthy worked with Democrats to pass a short -term funding bill to keep the government open. I think $33 trillion in debt is chaos. I think that facing a $2 .2 trillion annual deficit is chaos. I think that not passing single -subject spending bills is chaos. An election for the new Speaker of the House is set to be held next Wednesday. Members leaving the House GOP conference meeting said a candidate forum for speaker will be held next Tuesday, with the election held the following day. The judge and former President Trump's civil fraud trial in New York has issued a limited gag order. The decision came after Trump made a post on Truth Social that attacked the judge's clerk. The gag order bars all parties in the case from making social media posts or public comments about the judge's staff. A national emergency alert test will blare out across the U .S. tomorrow. According to FEMA, every TV, radio and cell phone will be interrupted with an emergency message at 2 .20 p .m. Eastern.

He also shared his short -term price target of $65 ,000 back in January of 2021 and lo and behold by November we smashed that price target. He now says that BlackRock agrees with my 220 ,000 interim price target for Bitcoin which he says is still in play.

as yesterday last week was a 46 and last month a 40 in fear so there you have it how many of you are currently bullish on the king crypto let me know and how many of you are anticipating a low as I'm going to be sharing an analyst predicting a twenty thousand dollar price crash and we'll be breaking down everything in between so let's get it shall we and again welcome to everyone just joining us make sure to say hello in that live chat as this is a live and interactive show and at the end of the show I read everyone's comments out loud so let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis Bitcoin just hit six week highs to start off October but some forecasts still see the Bitcoin price returning to twenty thousand in which lo and behold there's a CME futures gap if you didn't know and while up around six percent since the start of last month and now circling twenty seven five Bitcoin is not fooling many with its current price behavior the Bitcoin price strength in the recent weeks has many market participants hoping for a push and even through thirty thousand resistance send it let's go for some there remains every reason to be cautious however in an ex post analysis published October 2nd popular trader crypto bullet reiterated that twenty thousand is still very much on the radar as the Bitcoin price target the latest trip to twenty eight six he argued is now forming the right hand shoulder of a classic head and shoulders chart pattern with the downside logically due to follow if it completes quitting analysts here second half of October should be bearish in my opinion the idea was built on an August roadmap with a short term upside target of twenty eight thousand before reversing towards that twenty thousand target let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts I disagree I think we are bullish for this October and I think we're more than likely to continue up but it's good to cover all our basis is here now not all reasons headed heeded his warning with fellow popular trader you easy in particular skeptical of the likelihood for this scenario playing out crypto bullet however is far from alone when it comes to fearing that the worst for Bitcoin is over yet and one of crypto quants quick take blog posts on September 28th we had Wetson founder and CEO of crypto trading resource dominando crypto compared bitcoins performance between 2020 and 2022 quitting the analysts here between 2020 and 2022 Bitcoin underwent a notable appreciation region historic highs and capturing global attention however this phase was followed by significant correction that caused the prices to plummet sending crypto back to the lower levels say goodbye to your credit card rewards big -box retailers led by Walmart and Target are pushing for a bill in Congress to take away your hard -earned cash back and travel points to line their pockets Senate bill 1838 would enact harmful credit card routing mandates that would end credit card rewards as we know it if you love your credit card rewards visit hands off my rewards calm and tell them to oppose credit card routing legislation paid for by the electronic payments coalition now we also suggest that should history repeat a sub 20 ,000 level could resurface and an accompanying chart offered a fractal which now has been subject to a repeat quoting him again now in 2023 we are once again witnessing Bitcoin achieving over a hundred percent gains attracting substantial interest from institutional and retail investors nonetheless the market has recently experienced significant volatility and a downward price trend the similarity to the past raises questions about whether we are witnessing a repeat of the 15 ,500 USD if this fractal holds over the next few weeks which could result in a series of FUD and negative news in the crypto space furthermore there's a possibility of a redistribution where the price threatens significant highs but institutional profit -taking forces the price down creating the atmosphere of uncertainty in the market and as reported we also had another analyst rack capital who's demanding that the bulls step up to protect this support in order to avert the long -term retracement now for news as I shared in the intro of the show moving forward all crypto news alerts YouTube videos will have both English and espanol subtitles available and I'm currently working on a dedicated channel dubbed 100 % and espanol so we can serve our Latin community for the Bitcoin daily news let me know if this excites you and if you'll be one tuning in and also as shared here breaking news Stanley drunken Miller known as one of the most successful hedge fund managers on Wall Street who has worked 6 .2 billion he says frankly if the goal bet works then the Bitcoin bet will probably work better how many of you believe that he is probably right let me know your honest thoughts fam in the comments right down below and with that being shared yesterday was a historic day for ethereum futures ETFs launching however they ultimately flopped with less than two million dollars in trading volumes across nine assets so let's break this down and discuss it shall we here we go check it check it check it the rush of excitement that accompanied the launch of nine new ethereum futures ETFs appears to have yielded little in the way of investment dollars in comparison October 2nd nine new ETF products which are designed to track futures contracts tied to the value of the ethereum native currency arrived on the market of these funds only five hold exclusively ether futures while the other four track a mixture of Bitcoin and ether futures contracts quoting Eric Balchunes right here unprecedented day today with multiple ETFs all launching at the same time no clear winner has emerged all of them were pretty average lower than I would have predicted but it's a long run and remember these hold futures ETFs investors much prefer physical to derivatives that's right we much rather prefer spot ETFs because there's nothing but manipulation and price suppression continuously occurring in the futures market all by design hence by the regulators decide not to approve anything spot related but they continue to approve the futures ETFs which blows my mind personally in total all nine ETFs witness less than two million dollars worth of trading volume which is essentially nothing as a midday Eastern Time on the first day of trading the most popular of the futures ETFs products were Valkyrie's Bitcoin strategy ETF which tracks the combo of Bitcoin and ether raking up a total of 880 2 ,000 worth the volume it's worth noting had already been trading as a Bitcoin only futures ETF since October of 2021 but then adjusted its strategy to also include ETH the first day trading volume of ether ETFs paled comparison with that of the pro shares Bitcoin strategy ETF which debuted October of 2021 one month prior to hitting that all -time high and during a roaring market for crypto assets obviously it witnessed more than 1 billion dollars in trading volume on its first day so Wow compare that 1 billion in 24 hours to less than 2 million in 24 hours crazy now Balchune has noted that compared to the regular traditional finance ETF launched the volume witness was actually quite a lot though investors tend to prefer spot ETF products over futures Balchune has explained that all the products were scheduled for launch on the same day as the SEC wanted to prevent any one fund from gaining market domination now what if the SEC decided to do the same thing with the spot ETF approved them all at the same time like whoa meanwhile a range of United States firms jostled for the pole position for the nascent ether futures market ETF firm volatility shares canceled his plans to list a similar product saying that it didn't see the opportunity at the current time well we all know this we're all seeking the spot ETFs those are the game changers and there is probably about a 95 % chance that the BlackRock Bitcoin spot ETF get approved in 2023 I mean 2024 we're in 2023 hopefully right before the having occurs scheduled to be in what is that April of next year roughly six months out as we know it's gonna trigger trillions of dollars cascading into the Bitcoin market and that alongside the Bitcoin having are the two biggest catalyst for 2024 and let's add a third bullish catalyst which is a supply shock as there's currently less than two million Bitcoin sitting on the exchanges and for these ETFs once they get approved for the spot they have to be holding the underlying asset so there's gonna be mass accumulation continuing by the whales not only in this fourth quarter of 2023 but collectively in 2024 as well so let's freaking go and with that being shared now for the Satoshi X saga going on and also I want to share with you Satoshi Nakamoto's secret letter which came from the shadows never shared before I've never read it I'm gonna be reading it in real time with you so let's break this one down shall we members of the crypto community have rallied behind a post on X calling for Elon to remove a profile claiming to be the fabled creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto and here's your prescription I know just the pharmacy to get this filled who are you a pharmacy benefit manager a middleman your insurer uses to decide which medicines you can get what you pay and sometimes even which pharmacy you should go to why can't I go to a pharmacy in my neighborhood because I make more money when you go to a pharmacy I own no one should stand between you and your medicine visit ph RMA org slash middlemen to learn more paid for by pharma October 3rd the user posted saying that both the account claiming to be Nakamoto and account with the handle Bitcoin should be removed because they breached the platform's terms of service which says doesn't allow misleading and deceptive identities as predator shared here hey Elon Bitcoin and Satoshi accounts are in breach of your terms of service for using misleading and deceptive identities please remove their checkmarks I guess it could be confusing to people thinking it is an official Bitcoin account and we know there will never be an official Bitcoin account and an official Satoshi account which we all know there will never be an official Satoshi account he says you can't misappropriate someone else's identity without disclosing you are a parody account it is no different than making a fake Tesla or Elon Musk account and I think he makes a great point what are your thoughts chat let me know the true identity of Nakamoto has been subject of discussion and the Bitcoin and crypto community as we know since the inception Satoshi X account is reportedly run by a user named Andy Rowe who was claiming to be posting from a profile back in 2018 and on July of 2018 Rowe said he curates quotes for the Satoshi account as outlined right here the account had been quiet since October 31st of 2018 however October 2nd yesterday the account made a new post saying Bitcoin is a predicate machine and went on to explain that it would explore different aspects of the Bitcoin white paper over the coming months as Satoshi Nakamoto announced here on X now what are your thoughts fam let me know another user call for the accounts to be disabled linking or likening them to how X responded to the account with the handle internet yeah interesting the Bitcoin creators true identity to this day remains a mystery what many people over the years claiming to be the true Satoshi the most prominent of which is fake Toshi Craig right now let's discuss this particular letter which recently surfaced from the shadows allegedly from Satoshi Nakamoto check this out fragments a Satoshi secret identity the genius responsible for the birth of Bitcoin has resurfaced shedding new light on the creation of the world's first crypto this revelation comes in the form of an email and bearing the date August 22nd 2008 we all know the Genesis block was I believe in January of 2009 now the email director to computer scientist way die offers a captivating window in the nascent stages of bitcoins creation a journey that would go out to profoundly alter the contours of the global financial realm this recently unveiled correspondence serves as a valuable historical artifact shedding light on the intellectual exchanges and collaborative efforts that paved the way for the development of Bitcoin by delving into this previously hitting piece of communication from Satoshi to way day we gain invaluable insights into the genesis of the revolutionary crypto a technology that would ultimately disrupt and redefine traditional financial paradigms worldwide so let's discuss it in the email Satoshi expresses profound admiration for way dies be money page indicating a strong connection to dies groundbreaking work in the field of digital currencies Satoshi goes on to reveal his intention to release a comprehensive paper expanding upon dies ideas ultimately culminating in the birth of Bitcoin now let's read the actual letter you can see it's dated here August 22nd 2008 sent at 438 p .m.

Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Surge in US Job Openings Sparks Economic Jitters and Market Reactions
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group. It's Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Atchison, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substat. On today's show, we're talking about Ether, Hong Kong, jobs and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. The launch of the crypto market's first U .S.-listed Ether futures funds yesterday did little to lift spirits. After rising in early trading, Bitcoin drifted lower throughout the rest of the day and today so far it has been holding steady. According to data from CoinDesk indices, at 10 a .m. Eastern Time, Bitcoin was trading at $27 ,434, down 3 .5 % over the past 24 hours. Ether weakened by even more, trading almost 4 % lower at $1 ,655. In a moment, we'll discuss the underwhelming results of the Ether fund launch day. One thing to point out is that Bitcoin's price is still higher than it was heading into the weekend. In other words, it has not yet completely unwound Sunday's sharp jump and is currently almost 2 .5 % up on early Saturday morning. Ether, on the other hand, is half a percent lower. Today we got a fresh batch of job market data for the U .S. with the job openings and labor turnover survey, known as JOLTS. This tells us how many job openings there are each month, how many workers were hired, how many quit their job, how many were laid off, and so on, and is a key indicator of labor market tightness. It came in way higher than expected. The consensus forecast was for 8 .8 million job openings reported. The actual figure came in at 9 .6 million. This suggests that job market tightness is not abating, not even close, which complicates the fight against inflation and makes higher interest rates in the U .S. more likely. In reaction, U .S. yields jumped by even more, gold fell, and the dollar did some see -sawing. Moving over to stocks, the JOLT to interest rate expectations sent U .S. indices lower. As of 10 .20 Eastern Time, the S &P and Dow Jones were down roughly 1%, with NASDAQ down more than 1 .4%. This kind of sharp reaction to economic data is typical, and things could calm down as the day progresses. Markets are jittery, though. U .S. stocks were mixed yesterday, with the S &P flat, NASDAQ up almost seven tenths of a percent, and the Dow Jones down two tenths. The fact that the S &P did not have a good day yesterday in spite of the U .S. government shutdown being avoided shows just how cautious investors are feeling. The flat performance is also, in spite of August manufacturing data, coming in much better than expected. This was good news, and yet the market was still nervous. The U .S. 10 -year Treasury yield today has reached almost 4 .8 % for the first time in 15 years. In Europe, stock indices are also heading down fast. Yesterday, the German DAX, the French CAC40 and the Eurostock 600 all lost roughly 1 % and have continued lower today, losing another 1%. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei Index dropped more than 1 .6 % in today's trading, partly in sympathy with stocks pretty much everywhere, and partly because concern about the exchange rate is ratcheting up. One thing to keep an eye on is potential intervention by the Japanese central bank to defend the currency. The yen -U .S. dollar exchange rate is a hair's breadth away from the key 150 level for the first time since last October. Back then, the central bank intervened by selling dollars and buying yen. This sent the DXY dollar index tumbling over the next couple of months. It is not clear whether the Bank of Japan will do the same this time, but if it did, it could have a significant impact on global markets. A weaker dollar in theory would be good for crypto prices, as Bitcoin and the dollar often move inversely. It should also receive some pressure on commodities and other currencies. Speaking of commodities, the Brent crude benchmark continued to fall in early trading, as the supply outlook is becoming more complicated. Yesterday, the Turkish energy minister said that a pipeline channelling supply from Iraq would reopen this week, yet it closed in March due to a payment dispute. According to Bloomberg, an Iraq official has cast doubts on this timeline, so who knows. Traders are apparently also getting concerned about the impact on demand of a global economic slowdown. Over the past few hours, however, Brent has been clawing back some of its recent decline, and earlier today was trading at $91 .5 per barrel. It is still down 1 .8 % on the week and up almost 3 % on the month. Gold continued to retrace, earlier today hitting its lowest price since the beginning of March. It is currently trading at around $1 ,820 per ounce, down 0 .6 % over the past 24 hours.

DC Attorney General Brian Schwab says PEPCO is going to pay the district at least $60 million to resolve allegations that it discharged toxic chemicals for decades, leading to pollution in the river. Most of that money will be to monitor PEPCO to ensure they don't just pass those costs on to ratepayers.

A highlight from Viktor Michael: Luxury Skincare Designed for Post-Injection Recovery
"This is the Art Beauty podcast where we are always reaching for truth in beauty. Remember, the brands on here are not paying to be here, so we get to ask the questions that you want answered because you deserve to be informed so you can make the best decisions for yourself. With that, I'm Amber. I will be your host today. And my fabulous co -hosts are Chase Sim and Nadia Kozlova. They are the founders of Victor Michael, a line that is created just for post -injection care. We're going to be talking all about that. But before we do, welcome to the show, ladies. Thanks for being here. Thank you, Amber, for having us. Where are you? Where are you guys located in the country? We're in Seattle, Washington. Okay, great. And now, you know, before we get into these products, because I do want to talk a little bit about post -injection care, why it matters, what's going to sort of set this apart. But you both have a very interesting and sort of long history in the beauty market. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Absolutely. I was wondering, I was looking at that, I was like, okay, usually that's cute. So Nadia and I have been in the medical spa industry for over 23 years. We opened up our own three clinics back in 2010. So we've had the pleasure of seeing the bad, the good, the ugly from all aspects of the med spa business. So we're just really lucky to have entered this industry and this space back when we did. And Nadia, where were you guys? Just the owners, like it's Cucumber, right? Was the name of your med spa? Cucumber and Lounge. Yes, Cucumber and Lounge. And were you both aesthetic? Like, were you nurses? Were you doing injections? Or were you sort of the brains behind the spas? Believe it or not, we just came up with this amazing brand. We've been in medical aesthetics for 23 years. A side note, a fun note is that we actually were one of the first people introducing Botox and injectables into the market back in the days when nobody knew what these injectables are all about. In the beginning, I didn't even know how to pronounce it the proper way. So it's been a long, long journey, but we're not injectors. We're not estheticians, although we probably were in the past life at some point. But we know how to do it. We just don't practice. Gotcha. And you've probably, Shay, seen thousands, if not tens of thousands of injections being done. Oh, absolutely. And having them done, yes. So let's talk a little bit about injections. When we get things like Botox, I've had Botox myself before. I know bruising is common. What are some of the other symptoms that you were really seeing people have in your med spas? I think, I mean, it can get as bad as it can potentially get. We are talking bruising, swelling, inflammation. And that's all without the potential of contraindication, right? Because that can happen too. But just the basics. If you get your lips done, it looks like a murder scene at some point the next day. And we have some photos to show that. You will swell up. We don't care how amazing your injector is. This is what we always say is that injector could be the most amazing person and having the most amazing technique. But that's just how the body is wired. This is just how we respond. So even in our clinics, we say, hey, we're awesome. You will swell up. You will bruise up. But now you got a tool to work with. You know, I've got to be honest. So I work with New Beauty magazine as well. And one of the doctors had pitched us and said, hey, Amber's never had lip injections. What if we did a first time lip injection video with her? And when I saw what the recovery is like for that, I said, no way. I'll just deal with my thin lips. Because really, no matter what, I haven't seen anybody who doesn't swell. And the swelling can be very vast. And that kind of lasts, what, three to five days, Shay, would you say? It could be three to five days up to two weeks. So like who doesn't want to go out? And it looks like you've got punched in the mouth or like you went to a really bad injector at first, correct? I mean, they swell. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It could be terrifying. It could be very minimal. And it could be pretty terrifying. You know, and Nadia, I know too, whenever I go get Botox, for me personally, I make sure I do not drink anything. I know they say for 24 hours before. But for me, I found that if I don't do it three to five days before, that's when the bruising really has a big difference for my personal skin. Have you found that kind of across the board? Oh, absolutely. Before coming up with Victor Michael, and that's kind of what led us to it, is that we know all the tips and tricks on how to make you go with less swelling, less bruising, so no drinking. And I understand what you're saying. Because I would have to literally do it for like a week prior to just to get my body prepared to it, right? And still, if they get a little blood vessel somewhere, I still bruise up right on the spot. So you kind of know walking out of there what's going to happen. Yeah. And you know what? The more I'm thinking about it, it is more like a week if you want no bruising. But for injectables like fillers, I'm sure that's a little bit different, correct? You probably have to have a little bit different. Shade, for people who are listening and who might be considering injections, without getting into specific products, do you have any tips for people at home for things that they can do to help minimize the swelling? Absolutely. So you want to definitely stop all supplements, just not knowing exactly what supplements can trigger the bruising and the swelling. So we always advise just stay off of everything for at least 24 hours, right? Next thing is don't be afraid to start taking some Arnica or Arnacare before. And of course, obviously, we can get into other products and everything. But prepping the body when you know that the needle is going to be hitting the skin. It's inserting the skin. And this is kind of what we go back to. It doesn't matter who your injector is. A needle is puncturing the skin. We are causing a wound. And anything to prevent that wound, such as taking an oral Arnacare, that's typically what we would have recommend or some bromelain. And then after, just don't touch. Don't touch the skin. And everybody wants to touch. Everybody wants to remold. And they're like, oh, I can help with swelling or something. It really comes down to just take the injector's direction and try to prevent by not taking anything as far as supplements. Maybe no alcohol prior. But that's all you can really do. And listen to your injector. Yes, absolutely. And of course, it goes without saying, no smoking. Don't go out in the sun. All these things that you should probably know better. But sometimes we need a gentle reminder, right? That's okay. So prior to having skincare or Victor Michael, which is a skincare line designed specifically to help minimize this sort of post -injection, bruising, swelling, what was our only options? Ice? That's pretty much it. So and that's why that was sort of a hard question to answer. Because your really only option was stop taking supplements. And here's your ice pack. And here's some Arnacare. Those were your options. So Shay, what was it that made you the sort of the lights which go off and say, well, we need something? And then how did you figure out what you needed to do? So being on the backside and the front side of medical spas and injections in general, right, we work with the patients first and foremost. And the number one deterrent when it comes to injections is the fear of downtime. And anybody will walk in, I want fillers, I want Botox. But the second question that always follows up is, what is my downtime? I have an event schedule. We have holidays coming up. My husband's going to be gone on a work trip. How do I schedule this in? I got three days to recover. So in our world, if you have post care for lasers, you have post care for peels, you don't have post care for injections. Why is that, right? After 23 years of Botox being introduced to the market, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast being introduced back in 1999, 2000, why don't we have a pre and post injection care recovery system, right? So what we've done is we've taken what all of our amazing injectors have given our customers. That is the directions of go to Rite Aid, get your RNA care, go to the next Rite Aid or Target, go get your bromelain, go pick up whatever you can do to help prevent bruising, swelling, inflammation. So we took this recipe list that we were sending all of our customers to, and we said, let's put this in a bottle. Let's make this magic happen. Let's figure this out. What can we do? That's where the experiment started. And it worked. And we're like, holy cow, this is amazing. We need to now take it to the next level. So then that's how Victor Michael was created. Amazing. And Nadia, Shay mentioned some of the ingredients, but can you tell us a little bit more about what decided you to put into these formulas? So we've got two products here. What goes in them? What is sort of the magic, the secret, and the sauce? So the secret of the sauce is our patent pending injection care complex. We're obsessed with it. If I could, I want to bathe in it. It is a combination of Arnica, Dragon's Blood, Babassu oil, and bromelain. And in the serum, you have it at the highest levels where Arnica is at 15%. And this is probably the purest, the most amazing thing you could do for your skin. It's a phenomenal serum. I call it my little liquid gold, and I use it every single day, although you don't have to, but it's just the purest forms of all these amazing ingredients combined. Yeah, it's so good. It's beautiful. Yeah. What's funny is that it's now trending for a makeup primer. So who would have known that we're going to do that, right? Because it goes so well in your skin. We have formulated with everything with EWG in mind. So everything is great. It doesn't leave any of the residue on the skin. It goes on like it's a matted finish. So it's just really good for you. It's so funny that you said that because when I tried it the first time, first of all, I love the way it smells too. When I tried it the first time, to me, I really got this feeling. I was like, oh, this feels like a primer. It's hard to sort of tell here, but it almost has that smooth, sort of like a siliconey base, which I love that's perfect for makeup. Good to know. So is this something that people should be using only for injections or is it skincare that you can use all the time? Shae, do you want to add? Absolutely. What we consider, Victor Michael's sort of the beauty blender of the makeup industry. We blend in with every single skincare, first and foremost. So it doesn't matter what skin regimen that you're already using. We could just sneak that little serum right in there. Two is you absolutely can use this without injections. So when we're talking about the injection care complex and those main ingredients, not only are those main ingredients in the formula, but we've also added a ton of other resources in there as far as antioxidants go to help protect the skin, hydrators to keep that skin super moisturized. So what we're noticing is that your skin just feels amazing before and after, and people are continuing to use the product way after. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people sending us a lot of UGCs about, oh my God, we're using this for a sunburn. We're using this for some dry skin. And we're like, can we focus on injections? Right. Well, listen, it's good though, if people kind of understand and like they're falling in love with it for reasons beyond injections, because for most of us, injections are like every three to six months. So you want something that maybe people could use a little bit more. By the way, I love the packaging and I love the names of this. So taking this back, there's only two products in the line right now, right? The serum and the mask. So this is the Chow for Now mask. Tell us a little bit about what's in this. So the mask is a callan clay based mask. It has ginger root extract, apple fruit extract. It has some watermelon extract. It also has some red illness in there. This mask is a recovery mask. You can pre -treat with the mask too, but it soothes on contact. It cools and calms the skin. Oh my gosh. If you just put it on, you feel how it just chills and really just soothes. So imagine getting your fillers done and you are just, you're inflamed, you're sore, you're tender, and you put that mask on and it's like, oh, this feels so amazing. We have people who sleep in this mask and we're like, okay, yeah, I need my mask. It's okay. They sleep in it. I feel like it would get all over my pillowcases. It would be everywhere. I'm a tosser turner. Right? Is it even on when you wake up? I don't know. But we use it also called the Zoom Ready mask now. That's sort of what everyone's using because when you wake up and you're puffy, so regardless of injections, you fill that mask on and it just really helps soothe the skin. So it's pretty amazing. And Nadia, is there a right way to use this? So I was looking because it's not just, it is post -injection care, but you actually should start using this before the injections, correct? Can you tell us a little bit about the right way to use the system? Absolutely. You can. Well, if you're not me and using it every single day, then what you should really be doing is getting ready for your injections, right? So you can start it as soon as three times prior to the injections. And then you can technically pre -treat with both the mask and the serum. But we kept it super simple because we didn't want to have these crazy instructions for people to get confused with, right? So start with the serum three days prior to get your injections. And then a few hours later, start using your serum again and then add the mask as a booster. For comfort, you can actually stick the mask in the refrigerator, get it a little more cold so it's a little better for you, but it also has some built -in cooling in there. So it would go as well just as is for you. So just follow up with the serum and the mask and then use it as needed. Typically within three days, you're good to go. But if you needed to use it for a little longer, then just continue using as needed. And is the mask a daily use or is that kind of used like once after the post -injection and then maybe just keep it up with the serum? We would recommend using it morning and night. Yeah, for myself, when I get injected, I blow up, guys. I swell up, I blow up. We're chasing inflammation the second that needle gets into my skin. So I'm one of those really crazy patients with a lot of anxiety that goes into that chair. So I start using the mask maybe every two, three hours on the first day, yeah. And then afterwards, just maybe at night, morning and night, that's what the instructions say, but as needed, I would say. So definitely more than just twice a day. Amazing. And now, Shay, is there any thoughts? I imagine that you can probably use this around the lips. It might not be super comfortable to be putting serum and mask on the lips. We started talking about lips. Is there anything that you're thinking of specifically for lip care? Absolutely. So actually, our lip product will be out in the fall. And it's actually one of our very first SKUs we started working on. And it has probably been the most challenging because to try to get all of our amazing active ingredients in a beautiful lip product and not compromise the efficacy has been the biggest challenge. And we've nailed it. So we're finally in the stage to get this ready for launch. So we're really excited for lip. I have it on right now. I wear it every single day. It's a beautiful neutral color. And the lip name is called Nipple Nude. Oh, so it's actually going to be in a color as well. It's a very, very mauve -y, nipple nude tint. Nipple nude. I love that. So ladies, I have to ask, if people are interested in finding your products, where should they go? Well, there's a few places they can find us at right now. Obviously, our website, victormichael .com. Victor was a K. And then we're also launched with Moda Burandi. We're incredibly excited about it, as well as Shen Beauty out of New York. So you can find us on Moda Burandi on our website. And then we have a ton of retailers that we are aligning with as well for later launch. You know what? Before I let you go, I forgot the most important thing. What have been the results of this? What have people said after using this? Has it reduced the time? Do you have any sort of concrete facts on that or figures? We have actually done a perception study, blind study testing. And we had scored up in the 97, 100 % consumer test panel saying that has been the number one best pre and post injection care they've ever used. 97 % of the panelists said that by day two, their redness, swelling, inflammation has been reduced by over 50%. So yeah, our studies have been just absolutely mind blowing. But let me just share. Amber, the number one feedback that we get and that we are absolutely in love with is the testimonials that we received from the consumer panelists that we got after the study. And they said it was life changing. That having a product like this going on their injection journey for them to know that they have something, because sometimes it's just more than just the vanity, right? It's all about just how they feel. And for them to now get injections and to know that they have something to help comfort, to reduce the swelling, not because somebody is looking at them, but because the way it makes them feel, it has been life changing. So that has been the best feedback we've received. Well, I love to hear that. Always exciting to see new products coming into the market. And thank you for being sort of having the foresight to think, hey, this is a need that we need to fill, pun intended, and that we've done that. If people want to know more about you, where can they go? Right now, they can go to our website, www .victormichael .com, modaoperande .com, shenbeauty .com, and cucumberskinlounge .com. Amazing. And Nadia, if people are in the Seattle area, can you give a little bit of a shout out for your spas? Where can they find them? Hi, team. So we have three locations. You can find us in Bellingham, in Bellevue, and in Seattle. And just come to our medical spas. And Cucumberskin Lounge has a ton of it to Michael. So amazing. Wonderful. Well, I want to thank you both for being on with me today. Really appreciate you coming here. If you're listening at home and you have questions that you want me to pass on to the team at Victor Michael, I'm always happy to do so. You can email me at hello at artbeautypodcast .com.

Yo what's good crypto fam. This is first and foremost a video show so if you want the full premium experience with video visit my youtube channel at Cryptonewsalerts .net. Again that's Cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone just joining us. This is pod episode number 1419. I'm your host JV. Today is October 2023 2nd as the October pump continues. Let's freaking go. Shout out to everyone today in the live chat. Make sure to let me know where you're tuning in from. Of course at the end of the show I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud as this is a live and interactive show. Seven days a week and the after party FYI will be on rumble. So let's get it. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch as we do each and every day shall we. As you can see here on coin 360 we got Bitcoin up roughly 3 % for the day trading at roughly that 28 ,000 mark just under it. We have Ether consolidating trading under $1 ,700 while BNB, Cardano and Solana are all in the green and checking out coinmarketcap .com. We're finally climbing again at a market cap of 1 .09 trillion. We've been stuck around this 1 trillion level for quite some time. We got roughly 46 billion in volume in the past 24 hours meaning volume is up roughly 60 % and Bitcoin dominance is massively on the climb. I think the bull market is in full gear 49 .6 % for BTC with the ETH dominance at 18 .3 % and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers in the past 24 hours Satoshi vision leading the pack up 23 % trading at $39 .37 followed by e cash up roughly 9 % followed by Bitcoin cash. Now it's interesting that the Bitcoin forks are the top gainers for the day. I think anything associated with the name Bitcoin is pumping. It is what it is and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week Satoshi vision lead in the pack here up 23 and a half percent alongside our LB up roughly 12 % and XCC up roughly 9 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index we're dead in the middle 50 which is neutral yesterday was a 48 last week a 47 and last month a 39 in fear. So there you have it fam how many of you are currently bullish on the king crypto now that we in October let me know and make some noise and put God candle and maybe the Satoshi and God's watching above will send it let's freaking go and with that being shared fam now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis and check out some of the charts and what's popping with the king crypto where Bitcoin is likely to go next Bitcoin aim for 25 at the October 2nd Wall Street open at a bullish start as the month continued which you can see here in the Bitcoin one -day candle chart data from Cointelegraph and trading view showed Bitcoin price action staying strong into October's first US trading session Bitcoin made swift gains into the weekly close following a contrastingly cool monthly candle completion that saw Bitcoin finish at 26 ,000 970 now popular analyst right capital says this monthly close despite now being more than 5 % below the spot price called for caution quoting him here Bitcoin performed a September monthly candle close below twenty seven thousand one hundred and he also said technically that black line was solidified as resistance for September so he acknowledged the October breakout but said this would invalidate the bearish predicament should it endure now he also says because the Bitcoin monthly closed below the black line there's always going to be a chance that this price action could end up as an upside wick as he shares here alongside this chart Bitcoin offered upside wicks of up to 8 % long before but right now Bitcoin is up four and a half percent this month so technically anything up to twenty nine thousand four hundred could theoretically end as an upside wick so there you have it let me know if you agree disagree with the analysts say goodbye to your credit card rewards big box retailers led by Walmart and Target are pushing for a bill in Congress to take away your hard -earned cash back and travel points to line their pockets Senate bill 1838 would enact harmful credit card routing mandates that would end credit card rewards as we know it if you love your credit card rewards visit handsoffmyrewards .com and tell them to oppose credit card routing legislation paid for by the electronic payments coalition now closer to home market observers noted the ongoing encouraging signals on the exchange order books quoting jelly here spot bid continues while funding is negative this reeks of disbelief and as he shared here Bitcoin still spot -driven perhaps haven't done much yet to be honest yeah so Bitcoin shrugs off fresh US dollar surge just as eager to hit new local highs in the day was the US dollar after Congress avoided a government shutdown the US dollar stays the sharp rebound from losses seen late last week and at this time the DXY circled 106 .7 barely point two points off its recent 2023 highs and for crypto analyst Nebraskan Gooner a breakout from here would put 108 in play mark in new 11 -month highs as outlined right here now it's interesting the Bitcoin is pumping alongside with the dollar is usually it's inversely correlated maybe it's a sign of the times now together with the hype on yields and the oil prices economist Mohammed el -irian described the DXY strength as neither the US economy nor the markets enjoy Bitcoin nonetheless remain unfazed let's freaking go and as Kaiser points out here well he responded to this news the Japanese 10 -year bond yields are surging hitting the highest levels not seen in over a decade max responded the yen carry trade borrowing and at virtually zero and investing in higher yield currencies is broken this has been the mother of all the Ponzi schemes funding the global financial ization for 30 years and now it's moving in reverse and quitting max again Bitcoin is a state of heaven that exists entirely beyond anyone's reach except the owner preach that's why everyone needs to be stacking them sass and with that being shared fam now let's break down our next breaking story of the day a theorem ETF futures launch today October 2nd that's right check it out investment management firm Vanek is set to launch as a theorem strategy ETF today October 2nd with the product now listed on the website under the ticker EF UT and set for trading on the CBOE the Vanek a theorem strategy ETF will look to accrue capital by investing into a theorem futures contracts and has no direct exposure to eat the fund will expose cash settled eat futures contracts on CFTC regulated commodity exchanges Vanek also touts the benefits of the product being a C Corp structure which includes tax benefits the long investors compared with registered investment company structures here's the announcement here on X from Vanek when you are ready enter the ether how many of you have seen this commercial let me know in fact they launched two of them they're quite fascinating the investment manner has been advertising the launch of the East spot ETF on its social media accounts over the past few days with to enter the ETH themed TV commercials promising the upcoming launch now Vanek also announced that intends to donate 10 % of all their profits from its upcoming ether futures ETF to a theorem core developers over the next decade and as reported 15 different ether futures ETFs from nine issuers are currently awaiting approval from the US SEC and I guess they have until the end of September of 2023 analysts cited sources with the SEC of saying the regulator wanted to approve either future ETFs before potential US government shutdown but meanwhile bitwise asset management confirmed that trading for its to ether if futures ETFs would commence October 2nd as well with investors getting access to eat futures trading on the CB OE so there you have it we all know that futures are not in investors best interest in fact investors are most likely going to get wrecked we want the real deal baby which is the spot ETF and a little later in the show we're gonna be discussing grayscale converting their product to not only a Bitcoin spot ETF but also a spot a theorem ETF here in just a little bit but first we have some breaking news coming in surrounding FTX founder Sam Bankman freed I mean you can't make this stuff up he allegedly was trying to bribe Donald Trump with five billion dollars to not run for president good freaking Lord check this out how many of you seen this story let me know former FTX CEO SPF once looked into paying Donald Trump not to run for president of the United States according to Michael Lewis the author of the new book documented the rise and fall of SPF Michael Lewis author of going infinite the rise and the fall of a new tycoon spoke about the former crypto billionaire and the FTX founder in a 60 minutes interview yesterday October 1st one of the revelations in the book is that SPF looked into paying Donald Trump to not run for president that only shocks you if you don't know Sam as Lewis added the following Sam's thinking that we could pay Donald Trump not to run for president like how much would it take the number that he was kicking around was five billion dollars and he added before saying that SPF was unsure if that number came directly from Donald Trump and here's your prescription I know just the pharmacy to get this filled who are you a pharmacy benefit manager a middleman your insurer uses to decide which medicines you can get what you pay and sometimes even which pharmacy you should go to why can't I go to a pharmacy in my neighborhood because I make more money when you go to a pharmacy I own no one should stand between you and your medicine visit ph RMA org slash middlemen to learn more paid for by pharma SPF was also looking into the legality of it according to Lewis who added that they were still having these conversations when FTX blew up it just didn't happen because SPF didn't have the five billion any longer very interesting if you haven't watched the video check the show notes below the video in the description and after the show you can catch it out this clip taken from 60 minutes now according to Lewis SPF saw Trump as trying to undermine the democracy of the United States thinking he belongs on a list of existential risk crazy Lewis spent more than 70 days in the Bahamas on a dozen different trips to visit SPF in 2022 and the pair became close I would say in spare bedrooms I had codes to every room including the penthouse he told the Wall Street Journal and speaking on the fallout between the collapse of FTX in November he shared it was like the aftermath of Pompeii clothes and belongings left behind frozen in time many headed to the airport leaving company cars with the keys inside at the curb now Cointelegraph contacted legal representatives for SPF and Trump mark botnik who handles communications for SPF case said there was no comment from his legal team and according to the trial schedule calendar released last week the high -profile SPF trial begins October 3rd which is tomorrow less than 24 hours out with their jury selection the trial then begins on October 4th so it's going to be an interesting week the trial will involve seven fraud cases against SPF two substantive charges where the prosecution most convinced the jury that Bankman freed committed the crime and five other conspiracy charges so there you have it I wouldn't put it past Bankman freed whatsoever he was supporting the Democratic Party making mass donations to the Dems in support of Biden and heavily against Trump so I mean good lord could you say fraud I mean I could see Trump saying hey give me you want to give me five billion and not run for president sure let's make it happen but fortunately enough Sam Bankman freed didn't get away with that particular crime that we are aware of as he lost the company and the company went kaboom thanks to CZ calling him out firsthand on his FTT scam tokens but anyways fam let me know if that's surprising or shocking to you or you're not surprised at all now let's discuss the etherium spot ETF which is way more significant than any futures ETFs will ever be let's break this one down following the approval of the first ether futures exchange traded fund grayscale investments is looking to convert its grayscale aetherium trust to a spot aetherium ETF kudos to them because they're doing the same thing with their Bitcoin product as well they want to spot Bitcoin ETF the new New York Stock Exchange arca filed the conversion with the United States SEC October 2nd today grayscale's existing trust invested in ether futures contracts as an indirect means of exposure to aetherium but a spot ETF will invest in the underlying asset itself that's what makes it that much greater it's not derivatives or paper it's the real deal they have to hold the underlying asset as Michael Sun and shine shared here grayscale has filed to convert their grayscale aetherium trust to a spot ETF thank you for your continued support we can't wait to get started yeah so he also says as we file to convert the ethe to an ETF the natural next step in the products evolution we recognize this as an important moment to bring aetherium even further into the u .s.
Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Ether ETFs, Validator Growth, and Uptober's Strong Start
"It's Monday, October 2nd, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Atchison, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about Ether ETFs, Ethereum staking, macro moves, and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. October, as this month is known in some circles, is off to a strong start in crypto markets. After a few days of gently drifting upwards, prices for Bitcoin and Ether jumped sharply yesterday afternoon, with Bitcoin moving up almost 3 % within just a few minutes. There doesn't seem to be a clear catalyst for yesterday's sharp jump, which suggests that it could have been triggered by a short squeeze. The crypto market has often seen these before. They are usually unwound relatively swiftly, however. This one, not yet anyway. Since yesterday's jump, the Bitcoin price has continued to climb, and at 10 a .m. Eastern time this morning, it was trading at $28 ,500, according to CoinDesk indices, up 4 .8 % over the past 24 hours. Ether was 2 .3 % higher, trading at $1 ,725. October is typically a strong month for Bitcoin, with an average performance going back to 2011 of 25%. Bitcoin has delivered a positive performance in October in each of the last four years. Yes, including 2022. But patterns can be broken. We saw this last month, as Bitcoin rose almost 4%, breaking a six -year trend of negative September returns. Other tokens are also rallying. Earlier today, the tokens of Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Cosmos and others were up between 3 and 4 % over the past 24 hours. As I mentioned earlier, there doesn't seem to be a clear catalyst here. In part, it could be October psychology. There could also be some excitement around the first Ether futures ETS starting to trade today. And there is probably also some momentum chasing involved. Bitcoin has broken above the 50, 100 and 200 daily moving averages, which is a big deal for chart watchers. Whatever the reason, the uptick in interest could be enough to perhaps entice some liquidity providers back into the market. If liquidity improves along with the Bitcoin price, then we are likely to see a further pickup in new investor interest. I'll be keeping an eye on volumes and other liquidity metrics. Over in macro, the headwinds are still there, which could keep any crypto rally muted for now. There was some good news on Saturday, though. After a day of hectic negotiations and a barrage of breakthroughs, a US government shutdown was avoided. Both chambers passed a stop -the -gap spending bill that President Biden signed with less than an hour to spare. This means that government employees and all of the related businesses that serve as government departments can keep on working. This is very good. It's a temporary measure, however, and we could be going through the same type of tension in mid -November. Earlier today, the ISM Manufacturing Index came in better than expected. This data point is based on a survey of purchasing managers at 300 manufacturing businesses and gives some insight into the general direction of manufacturing activity in the US. ISM stands for the Institute of Supply Management, the organization that conducts the survey. The main index for September still showed a contraction in activity, but the slowest contraction in 10 months. It's too soon to conclude that the contraction in US manufacturing is bottoming, however. Over in stocks, the strong manufacturing data and the avoidance of the shutdown has failed to boost the mood of the US market. This comes after a fairly grim end to September. On Friday, the S &P 500 closed down 0 .03%, and over September, the index lost almost 5%. Its second monthly decline in a row. The index is down 3 .7 % on the quarter, its first negative quarter in 12 months. This is less than the Nasdaq's decline, which was 4 .1 % for the quarter, highlighting that the market is moving into risk -off territory. The Nasdaq is even more focused on tech stocks than the S &P 500, which tend to be more sensitive to increases in interest rates. In Europe, markets were feeling good on Friday, with both the German DAX and the Eurostock 600 rising by roughly 0 .5%. That was not enough to save the month, however. Over September, the DAX dropped 3 .5%, and the broader European index dropped by 1 .6%, the worst monthly performances for both in a year. So far today, weak market sentiment has returned, with all leading European indices down from Friday's close. The outlook for economic growth in Europe is flagging, with the German economy forecast to contract this year. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei index started the fourth quarter on a down note, closing just over three -tenths of a percent lower. So far, this seems like an extension of the negative performance seen last month. The index dropped almost 1 .5 % in September, losing more than 4 % in the quarter. This makes Q3 the first negative quarter for the index in a year. Chinese markets were closed on Friday for the mid -autumn festival and will be closed until next Monday as the country celebrates National Day. Chinese stocks had an ugly third quarter, with the Shanghai Composite registering an almost 3 % drop, its second quarterly decline in a row. Chatter is intensifying about more monetary and policy easing to support the market and the economy. This would be good news for Asian markets and for crypto markets since, despite recent bans, China is still a significant source of demand for crypto assets. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was hit much harder, down almost 6 % for the quarter, as its market is more exposed to US interest rates and has also been hit by China's property sector woes. In commodities, the Brent crude benchmark was rising in early trading today after pulling back from the local high of over $96 reached late last week. Earlier today, Brent was trading at $93 .62 per barrel. Gold continues to weaken, trading at around $1 ,830 per ounce, down just over 0 .7 % from the market open. Investor appetite for the metal is being hit by the stronger US dollar. The DXY dollar index was climbing today, up 0 .4 % from Friday and up almost 3 % from a month ago.

The transmission of higher rates really didn't flow through with the normal four to six quarter lag that we were expecting. I think we've seen the beginnings of an unraveling. We continue to think that the Fed is at a peak. We also continue to think that the Fed is going to be cutting interest rates next year. This is Bloomberg Surveillance with Tom Kean, Jonathan Farrow and Lisa Abramowitz. Let's get your week started. Live from New York City this morning. Good morning, good morning. From our audience worldwide, this is Bloomberg Surveillance on TV and radio alongside Tom Kean and Lisa Abramowitz. I'm Jonathan Farrow. Your equity market pop didn't last that long. We are totally unchanged on the S &P 500. Crisis averted avoided TK, at least for now. Yeah, widely predicted. I think our Washington coverage has been great on this. Some real humility about, you know, don't do this theory, that theory, the other. But what a shock three hours before whatever it was, he did a John Boehner and got the Democrat vote.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Hope for the Cursed (2)
"Well, let me ask you to turn in your Bibles to 2 Kings 7, and we're going to read verses 1 -20. 2 Kings 7, beginning in verse 1, this is the infallible, inerrant word of our God. Then Elisha said, hear the word of the Lord, thus says the Lord, tomorrow about this time, a saith of fine flour should be sold for a shackle, and two saith of barley for a shackle at the gate of Samaria. So an officer, on whose hand the king leaned, answered the man of God and said, look, if this thing be, and he said, this is Elisha now talking, and he said, in fact, you shall see it with your eyes, or you shall not eat of it. Now there were four lepers, men at the entrance of the gate, and they said to one another, why are we sitting here until we die? If we say, we'll enter the city, the famine is in the city, and we'll die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live, and if they kill us, we shall only die. And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they'd come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise, no one was there. For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses, the noise of a great army. So they said to one another, look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us. Therefore they arose and fled at twilight and left the camp intact, their tents, their horses and their donkeys, and they fled for their lives. And when the lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank and carried from it silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried some from there also and went and hid it. Then they said to one another, we're not doing right. is This day a day of good news and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household. So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them saying, we went to the Syrian camp and surprisingly no one was there, not a human sound, only horses and donkeys tied in the tents intact. The gatekeeper called out and they told it to the king's household inside. So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we're hungry, therefore they've gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the camp and they'll catch them alive and get into the city. And one of his servants answered and said, please let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city. Look they may either become like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it or indeed I say they may become like all the multitude of Israel left from those who are consumed. So let us send them and see. Therefore, they took two chariots with horses and the king sent them in the direction of the Syrian army saying, go and see. And they went after them to the Jordan and indeed all the roads was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and told the king and the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shackle and two seahs of barley for a shackle according to the word of the Lord. Now the king had appointed the officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate but the people trampled him in the gate and he died just as the man of God had said who spoke when the king came down to him. So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king saying, two seahs of barley for a shackle and a seah of fine flour for a shackle shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria. And that officer had answered the man of God and said, now look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could such a thing be? And he had said, in fact, you shall see it with your eyes but you shall not eat it. And so it happened to him for the people trampled him in the gate and he died. The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God endures forever. Let's pray. Our Father, we thank you for your word. We thank you that it is true truth and we pray that that truth would reach into the minds and hearts of your people this evening and we ask this in Jesus' name, amen. Well, there's congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ. You may recall from last week that I said from chapter 6 verse 24 all the way down through the end of chapter 7 where we're dealing with a text that hangs together. It's a single narrative. I chose to divide it up for practical reasons but I do want you to know this, the chapter break, chapter 7 is a bit arbitrary. Now on the previous Lord's Day, we focused on chapter 6 that highlights some of the implications of Israel's desperate predicament. The Syrian army had besieged Samaria which meant there was a blockade around the entire city, nothing going in and nothing going out. And just as the siege intended, it created in Samaria a catastrophic famine where something as unsavory and unappetizing as a donkey's head or dove dung cost an absolute fortune. So the people simply had nothing to eat. Now you'll remember from last week the implication of their predicament was much worse than donkey heads and dove dung. King Jehoram went out and he was inspecting the city walls and he encountered an evil. That's truly breathtaking. There were mothers who were killing and eating their children and it's important to pause here and remember what we learned last week, that Syria besieging Samaria, the famine and even that grotesque cannibalism were actually implications of Israel's predicament. Their predicament, their actual problem is that on account of their idolatry and disobedience, they had fallen under God's covenant curses. Now if you want to explore God's covenant curses as they relate to this passage, you can check them out at Deuteronomy 28 verses 52 through 57, Leviticus 26 verses 27 through 29. We looked at that passage last week. The point is God had given them over and he's pulled back his hand of restraint and we're Well even Jehoram seemed to be shocked by the events and he made a show of tearing his clothes so that people could see he seemed to be mourning and then underneath the clothes on the outside he was wearing sackcloth on the inside and that of course is a garment typically associated with repentance and his repentance was a sham. We know that because instead of seeking out God's prophet for a word of direction or a word of comfort or a word of deliverance, the king's impulse was to have Elisha murdered. He actually sent an assassin to take Elisha's head but of course the prophet of God to whom God reveals himself knew what was happening and barred the door from the messenger and assassin. And as the men held the door, the king showed up right on the heels of the assassin likely wanting to make sure that the job got done and we began to learn there near the end of chapter 6 that the reason Jehoram was filled with bitter anger toward Elisha is because he's the one who told the king that those events that Samaria was experiencing were the Lord's judgment and that he must repent and wait on the Lord. And now having learned what those women were doing Jehoram's done waiting and chapter 6 ends with Jehoram making it clear that from his perspective the one to blame for this whole sordid mass is Yahweh. It's his fault. Look there at the end of verse 33 in chapter 6. Surely this calamity is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer? Most of Israel is living in spiritual darkness choosing to worship false gods. Samaria is enduring God's just covenant curses and they aren't at all bashful in telling their king that they're engaged in the worst imaginable kind of evil, cannibalism. And King Jehoram no longer has patience to wait for Yahweh and the reason he wants to take Elisha's head is because he can't get to Yahweh's head. And one of the most surprising truths that unfolds when we make the transition to chapter 7 as great and shocking as Samaria's sin is, as great and shocking as Jehoram's sin and impatience is, we come to something more shocking, something that's gloriously shocking. We learn that God's grace and patience eclipses their sin and impatience. We're getting a picture that God's grace is greater than all our sin. I mean the king is at Elisha's house to kill God's prophet and God's going to announce through his prophet a message of good news. That's why I entitled the message this week and last week Hope for the Cursed and that's what we pick up this evening. Look there at verse 1, it sets the stage. Then Elisha said hear the word of the Lord, thus says the Lord, tomorrow about this time a saya of fine flour shall be sold for a shackle and two sayas of barley for a shackle at the gate of Samaria. He said don't miss this. Elisha provides a kind of double affirmation to make it clear what he's about to speak is a divine message. Hear the word of the Lord and then thus says the Lord. It was a way of saying this is God's word you're hearing, don't miss this. This isn't just my voice you're hearing, you're hearing God's voice. And the message from Yahweh is that in just 24 hours there will be relief. Prices will return to normal, commerce will resume at the marketplace, at the gate, at the entrance of the city. It's amazing news and it's nothing less than God's good news of deliverance to people who utterly don't deserve it. Of course the news is so amazing and so good that Jehoram's captain is convinced it's simply too good to be true. And listen to the poetic way he describes his skepticism. Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven could this thing be? The captain sure knew how to turn a phrase didn't he? But his eloquence simply masks his rank on belief. God's made a glorious promise. He's offered good news in a context of utter despair and hopelessness but that's not for him. He can't make sense of it so he just settles in his doubt. God can't possibly do this thing. And by the way we can rightly criticize this captain but isn't that a thought that plagues our minds often? We hear the promises of God and in the back of our mind. We think God can't really do this thing can he? I think we can struggle with that as well. Well as hope begins to emerge here in chapter seven we also do get this word of judgment. Because where there's salvation there's going to be judgment. And so Elisha tells the captain you're going to see God pour out this promised abundance on his people. You'll see the promise fulfilled but you won't participate in the cursed estate. And we'll see when we get to the end of the chapter that not only is God's word of promise and salvation fulfilled but there's always his word of judgment so sort of hold that thought for a couple minutes. Now Elisha didn't tell Jehoram or his officer how God would fulfill his promise but we're sort of privy to what's going on. You know it's something they used to do in the older movies. Meanwhile over here and that's sort of what we get. Meanwhile over here we find God's rescue and deliverance is going to begin in an unlikely place and with some unlikely man. We're told in verse three that there are four lepers who are at the gate of the city. That's an interesting place to be because lepers were driven out of the city and they wouldn't have been normally hanging out at the gate. They would have been pressed beyond it. So you have to think it's because there's a blockade and because the gate's closed they've gotten over there. Because lepers ordinarily can't enter the city where God's people dwell because they're unclean. So the gates shut up tight. But here's the thing, they're in this weird predicament where they can't get into the city to get away from the Syrians. They're sort of pushed between the Syrian and Samaria and they're in a desperate place. And they start to take stock of their situation and they apply some leper logic. If they stay at the gate they'll die. They think if we manage to find a way to get into the city and this famine continues we'll die. On the other hand if we go to the Syrian camp we could very well die. I mean they may very well kill us but at least there, there's this slim possibility, just a slim possibility that they might let us live. So having weighed their options leper logic said we're going to the Syrian camp. And we're told there in verse five, and they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp to their surprise no one was there. And what a surprise it must have been. They certainly thought when we get to the camp we're going to be in grave danger. But they're not. And they must have wondered what in the world has happened. And again we're privy to what God was doing. Yahweh had made the Syrians here what sounded like a great army, an army with a mighty cavalry and they heard these incredible sounds. It's hard to contemplate the volume, the decibels that must have been thundering outside of Samaria. And the Syrian soldiers they're sure that Jehoram has hired mercenaries to come from the Hittites and the Egyptians and the Syrians were so terrified at these loud sounds of soldiers and armies that they don't even bother breaking camp. They simply beat feet out of there leaving behind their tents, their livestock, even their gold and silver. What they heard struck terror in their hearts and then they fled for their lives. It's really something isn't it? And you'll remember we learned this just a couple weeks back. It shows us the story of the sovereignty of God over his enemies and ours. God had blinded the Syrians to protect Israel and especially to protect his prophets. God was feeding intelligent reports to Elisha again to protect his people and protect his prophets. Now he overcomes their enemies with the sounds of a great military. Again, behind this is God's willingness to fight for his people, to ensure this victory for his people. Whether it's blinding, deafening sounds, secret intelligence reports, God is fighting the battles of his people. And when the lepers, again they don't really know this. We know this, but the lepers don't know this. They enter the abandoned camp and they experience what will be for them. A life changing, transforming reversal of fortunes. In that moment they went from poverty to plenty. And basically they're granted all the benefits of the spoils of war without ever having to lift a finger to fight it. And as soon as they get their bellies full of food and drink they actually start stockpiling gold and silver. One moment these poor four lepers were destitute and the next moment they've got a fully funded retirement account. And this really is one of those passages that you read and you can't help but see all kinds of gospel reflections, right? I'm sure some of those have come to your mind. Let me just mention a couple. First, the lepers were transformed from a state of desperation to a state of salvation. They were little more than the walking dead, right? Now they have life and they have it abundantly and it was all God's doing. It was the sheer undeserved grace of God. These lepers didn't deserve kindness any from God and yet they're the objects of the exceeding kindness of God. And this certainly describes how God saves sinners, doesn't it? It's a little picture of that. How God saves sinners and grants us new life in Christ. Even when we were the walking dead, dead in trespasses and sin, God made us alive together with Christ by grace. You've been saved, Ephesians 2 .5. And we've been raised up and seated with Christ in the heavenly places so that in the coming age we will see the exceeding riches of God's grace for us in Christ, Ephesians 2 .7. Grace and riches are what deliver us from the dead lepers experienced. It's only a faint blip on the radar screen compared to the grace and riches God provides us in Christ. And again, we don't lift a finger and the victory is won for us and we enjoy that inheritance forever. A second way we see a gospel reflection is that the lepers experienced sovereign grace. Now it's obvious as day just reading through this passage that the lepers good fortune is clearly God's doing and all of God's doing. But there's a little detail in the text that seems to be inserted here to show us just how precisely God's orchestrating these events. It says in verse 5, the lepers left for the Syrian camp at twilight. And then we see in verse 7, it was right at twilight that the Syrians fled. By the way, this word twilight in the whole Samuel, Kings, Chronicle narrative is used three times. Once back in 1 Samuel 30 and then twice here. So this word is meant to catch our attention. The lepers left at twilight. The Syrians left at twilight. And perfect timing. It's not arbitrary, not accidental, and not coincidental. It's to highlight that God's working out the purposes of his will to bring a salvation to these lepers right down to the precise time that one leaves and the other shows up. God's superintending over the details to provide salvation and an undeserved inheritance to the lepers. And then we see and isn't that what we have? In Christ we have obtained an inheritance having been predestined according to him who works out all things according to the counsel of his will. Ephesians 1. There are a number of little gospel gems here, but I'll leave it there. The lepers, they're enjoying their new fortune. And some are very critical of the lepers because it took them a while to realize this, but they do realize something. They realize while they're enjoying God's blessing, there are still people inside Samaria who are starving. And so in verse 9 they said to one another, we're not doing right. This day is a day of good news and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household. Indeed it is a day of good news and they want to proclaim it. You know it's interesting, we heard something of that in Psalm 96 this morning, didn't we? Psalm 96 verse 2. Sing to the Lord, bless his name, proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. These lepers, they've experienced that good news and they want to proclaim it to the folks in Samaria. The word good news in Psalm 96 and in 2 Kings 7 is from the root word that means that's besor or besorah. And it's the Greek translation of that word is probably one you've at least heard echoes of. It's euangelizumai, it's the evangel, it's glad tithings, it's good news, it's gospel. And for these lepers having personally experienced this good news, it's their impulse to go and tell others and they know if we don't do that we'll be guilty of being stingy with the good gift God's given them. Now you could probably arrange a whole sermon around what this teaches about evangelism and frankly some very wonderful expositors have done that but we don't have time but you could ground a whole sermon on evangelism from this text and you wouldn't be stretching the text. You could describe how these lepers were beggars who had nothing to eat and all they were looking for was scraps and once they had been given bread they wanted to go and tell other beggars where they could find bread. You could work that kind of thing out or you could point out that the lepers were outsiders who are now saved and go to tell insiders, right? Because these are the people who weren't allowed into communion and fellowship with the covenant community and now they're the ones with the gospel. I was talking to someone very recently within the last couple of weeks and I mentioned to them that America receives the second highest number of missionaries of any country in the world, right? So again the harvest is plentiful and those of you who like and have been blessed by the ministry of Alistair Begg, he came to this country some 30 plus years ago to be a missionary and you know what he identified as his mission field? The evangelical church.

A highlight from Part 2: Zach Wilsons Alive, Belichicks in Trouble, Buffalos Cruising, and Week 5 Lines With Cousin Sal
"All right. So we're taping part one here. It is a little past 4 o 'clock Pacific time. Just watch the Pats completely shit the bed. We're not going to talk about that. That'll be part two. Part one. Ryan Russilla was here. We're talking Drew Holiday. The big trade. How is the NBA different for you right now, and are we done? Do we finally have the 30 rosters? Is this what we're looking at? Do we know who's going to be on everybody's team, or are we somehow not done? I never think we're done anymore in the NBA, and I know you're being a gracious host here, but you and I talked for five minutes today. I think you have the headline take on this, okay? I think you have the headline take on what the top of the league looks like. Are you ready to share it this early? I think Boston has the best top six. I did not feel that way 24 hours ago. I did not feel like there was a clear best. I trust this team in crunch time, and if Porzingis stays healthy, which is a huge if, I think they have the best six, and they can fill around, and they have the most ways that they can play whoever in the series. So from that vantage point, you had to do the trade. And they gave up a center who has been hurt every single year, and I don't fully trust that he's ever going to be out there when it matters. Brogdon, who was hurt, who was mad at the team, and two picks. And you get Drew Holliday, who was a 2021 Finals hero, who's one of the best defensive guards in the league, who's still really good, and just raises their ceiling. Now you can go white Holliday, Tatum Brown, and a center at crunch time, and you're good. You can switch on almost everything, especially if you get anything from Horford. So were you similarly enthused? Yeah, I love Drew. There's some stuff with his shooting in the playoffs where it's been pretty bad, or you're like, is that just because you can't make shots at the playoffs, or is it just what happened statistically? I mean, it does happen. I mean, if I'm getting the negative parts out of the way, like, yeah, sure, he's a little bit older. The big situation is a huge question mark. I can't believe what they got from Horford last year. So I don't know if you can just pencil that in, because he was way beyond expectations, at least for me, or for what I had for him. But when you can add Drew for those pieces, and I'm with you, when Rob Williams is right, it's really, really nice. But you can even tell when he's out there, you're like, is something wrong with him again? The number of times that I've watched Rob Williams in Celtics games, I'm like, I know he's out there, but wait, something. And every time, I thought Marcus Smart was trying to end his career with some of those Valley U passes, depending on how he lands, like, wait, is this going to be the last one we ever see from him? So to me, it makes a lot of sense. By the way, on that Rob point, my dad texted me after the trade, he's like, oh, I hate giving up Rob. I'm like, you complained about Rob more than anybody I know in my life. You would text me from the games going, oh, Rob's just off in the, Rob just walked in the tunnel again. I don't know what happened. I like just Brian Barrett had a tweet, 32 games, 29 games, 52 games, 61 games, 35 games. Those are Rob Williams' last five years. It just wasn't reliable enough for a team that's trying to win a title. I interrupted you. No, you didn't, because it's a it's a really good point, because what's going to happen? I mean, you know, it's just there's there's definitely like if Prozingis is hurt, it feels like the whole thing is screwed up and there's a really good chance that that could happen. But if you're talking about like the allocation of minutes and the talent that's getting those minutes, well, the talent that's getting those minutes just went up with Drew Holiday. And that's, I think, the simplest way to look at it. So they they turn Marcus Smart and Grant Williams and Brogdon and Rob Williams into Drew Holiday and Prozingis, more Derek White minutes, more Peyton Pritchard minutes. And then there's a little bit of an X factor with who's going to be like that ninth man, tenth man, kind of big four slash five person, maybe, or somebody you trade like that. I feel like that's the easiest position to pick up in January and February. The big thing for me is I think White was ready for a bigger role. I think White and Holiday together is magnificent as a as a backcourt. And I read some stuff today. They think White's going to come off the bench. I don't know if I see that. I think I would come out of the gates with White and Holiday and Tatum and Brown in the center and maybe bring to your Horford point, like maybe bring Horford off the bench and try to really try to rest his minutes during the season and be careful with him and make him a bench player. And then the playoffs reassess. But I think that having those four guys all together, they complement each other so well. You can play basically any kind of defense against any perimeter guy in the league. Those four guys and they're just better. I mean, there's there's just no way around it. They're better. He's a much better player than Marcus Smart was last year. And you know, you made that point about the shooting. He'd have those games. He'd go 5 for 22 in a playoff game. You know, he'd eat. But I do feel like he was asked to do a little bit more than maybe what he's supposed to be doing. I don't feel like he's a pure point guard. Right. Now you have White who can handle most of the ball handling. He could play off the ball and they're going to get the best version of him. Awesome locker room guy, too, by all accounts. I mean, really like a beloved teammate wherever he went. And I think they wanted to change the chemistry a little bit. I think this was an unhappier team than maybe they led on to the outside world last year. Yeah. Look, I definitely like him more than Smart. And you know, to be totally fair, when I'm looking at like the Lillard side of this trade last week before we knew the second piece of Drew and upgrading from Drew to Lillard, I'm going, OK, well, now you're top two in Milwaukee's like in the argument for the best two in the NBA. OK, that's that's really what this league has been about now post the teens decade where it was the arms race for your top three. It's you look around the league, you go, OK, who's got the two best? Like, let's come up with the five teams who have the two best. And with Lillard and Giannis, that's like a whole nother level. So when I was looking at it, it's like Lillard compared to Drew, you know, Drew is not somebody you're expecting to break down a defense off the dribble. Right. Oh, we're stuck into the shot clock, like make something happen where Lillard can literally do anything right in the final second of the shot clock and still you feel like it's still a decent look. So that part of it's a huge upgrade. But he's number three to four as far as an offensive option. He also and I don't know, this is just me talking out loud as I thought about the trade. It's pretty clear that when Boston's offense gets into trouble in the playoffs, like Tatum and Brown haven't figured out a way to kind of unlock it other than just like I can already picture my head like I know what the Tatum move is going to be. I already know what the Jaylen Brown move is going to be. And I don't know if Smart was able to make their life easier with the playmaking. And then sometimes I even think Smart would go like, well, if you guys are going to screw around, like I might just I might just be green light on this possession. I don't think Drew necessarily plays that way. So, you know, it's probably silly for me to think that like Drew is going to be the Steve Nash type who comes in and sets up all these great late playoff possessions. But there may be something in lessening the burden of those guys feeling that they have to do or defaulting to just forcing the issue as much as they do in the playoffs. I like how much ball handling they have, to your point, because they were talking about experimenting a little bit more with Tatum as a point forward this year, which makes me nervous a little bit just because, you know, he's six foot nine. I'm not sure that's the best use of him, but they seem pretty adamant. Like we feel like he could be a little bit more of a creator. And then you think White can do that. To me, White is the key to this season now, because if, you know, other than the Porzingis health thing, which I almost I'm going to knock on wood, but part of the reason they made all this movement and they got rid of Brogdon and Smart was I think they really wanted to push White to be the lead ball handler for them and a creator. And there's some unbelievable pick and roll stats with him. And just if certain people set him a pick in the way, even in the Miami series, he was one of the only guys who could create offense. So I think they have that plus they have Drew. And the reality is for Drew, this is this might be the deepest offensive team he's been on. Right. When you think back to like it was on some pretty weird Philly teams and some pretty weird New Orleans teams, and even when Milwaukee was at its best, it was really just Giannis, Middleton and Drew. And that was it. This is there's more shooting and playmaking around him than I think we've seen. Maybe it'll be a slight upgrade on the flip side. He doesn't have Giannis, who was the second best player of the century, probably, but I like the spot for him. It seemed like he really wanted to go to a contending team and I don't really know who they were competing against because for reading through some of the reports, it just seemed like Philly. I don't even know what the trade was for them. Portland wanted at least one piece back, probably two that they could do their keeper package. They wanted picks back. Golden State wasn't even in it. And it didn't seem like OKC ever threw their hat in the ring, which I was shocked by because I felt like OKC was the sleeping giant of this whole thing with Dort and some picks and just say, fuck it, let's let's see if we can be really good this year. So it seemed like it was down to Boston. The Clippers, they just had more assets. I don't know if Portland keeps Rob. He's on a good contract. They already have Ayton. My guess is that they're probably spinning him. Does it make sense that both of those guys? My sense is they're going to try it out, you know, but, you know, the thing with Rob is like, if you think he's an awesome defensive player that's just out there, like he's awesome when he's used a certain way. And once Boston unlocked that two years ago, where they stuck him on a non shooting big and then you could see other teams adapt to it, it's like, well, let's stop giving them an out where Rob can just roam off of this dude that's not a shooting threat, because I think that, you know, this is just going to turn into like now that he's not here. But I mean, have you listened to us talk about Rob Williams at all last couple of years? He you know, I don't I don't think he's I know what the defensive metrics are. I know the on off stuff. It's a big reason why I think the analytics models always love Boston. Like sometimes you look at him and be like, hey, I think this team's good, but like these numbers are overwhelming. This is like, yeah, it's it's so far like as if there's this huge gap between Boston and everybody else, which I never really felt going back these last two years. But you're if Chauncey Billups and you think like, OK, Rob Williams is going to go out there and like wreak havoc, it's like, well, he has to be used a certain way. So maybe they feel like that's in defensive support to Aiten. And with Aiten, you know, I have I'm not quite sure what to expect. Well, this is the one thing he's probably going to put up huge numbers because he's not going to have older dudes that have a higher status in the league that go, I'm sick of passing it to you. So he's probably going to get more touches. We'll probably see like early Aiten numbers and like twenty to ten for the first six weeks of the season. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah. Like he'll he'll he'll put up some big numbers there. But, you know, defensively, it's really about his competitiveness because there were times I think going back two years ago when we were thinking about him with that run of the Suns, the finals, you're like, look at this guy. Like he can switch out on the smaller players. You can rotate. But it's all about the way he's wired. And I think long term, unfortunately, like we already kind of know the answer there. Like I don't think all of a sudden now you start playing with some fierceness after being in the league this long. So he was the fifth option on that team and there seemed to be real resentment toward him in that whole Phoenix culture of like, why doesn't he just realize we don't need his offense? We need him to basically rebound and block shots and crash the offensive boards. I think his attitude was probably twenty five years old. I want to be the best player I can be. I already went to a finals. I don't that's not I think I could do more than that. So I don't I don't think anyone was necessarily wrong. As I said, on my Thursday pot, I just hated the trade for Phoenix. I just thought they got the poopoo platter back. You know, they got some some some spare ribs back and a couple of egg rolls and and that's it. But they did not get an entree back. And I think he's an entree on the right team, whether he's a guy that made sense for them. I don't know. But I know that they didn't get a good haul for him. I think Rob, for his contract, for what his talents are, is a really intriguing piece for them or for another team, because you could trade for him. And it's not like a daunting salary. Right. I think he's in what is what is it, like 15 a year or something like that? No, it's a really good. Yeah. I mean, it was a really low cost extension and he's still a pretty young guy. Yes, so.

"But I do think <Speech_Female> you do see things <Speech_Female> about <Speech_Female> the way others engage <Speech_Female> with the world. That's <Speech_Female> really important to know when you're <Speech_Female> looking for <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Female> long-term via abilities <Speech_Female> at them. Well, you <Speech_Female> guys just went through like <Speech_Female> a month long relationship <Speech_Female> at one weekend. <Speech_Female> I <Speech_Female> know, was that <Speech_Female> couples counseling? <Laughter> I know, I'm like <Laughter> so tired. <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> Love it. Well, <Speech_Female> thank you both for <Speech_Female> participating <Speech_Female> in this. This <Speech_Female> has been such <Speech_Female> a great experiment. <Speech_Female> And we're so <Speech_Female> glad that you too. <Speech_Female> Have a good time and <Speech_Female> learn so much about how <Speech_Female> you can show up for dating <Speech_Female> in the future. Yeah, <Speech_Female> and taught us how to <Speech_Female> get free food and <Speech_Female> drinks. Yeah. <Speech_Female> Now we know. <Speech_Female> It's going to a bar <Speech_Female> and say, we're doing this <Speech_Female> dating experiment. We <Speech_Female> got no money to spend, <Speech_Female> give us some free drinks. <Speech_Female> Let's do it. <Speech_Female> <SpeakerChange> Exactly. <Speech_Female> In all seriousness, <Speech_Female> despite <Speech_Female> the incompatibility, <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> you both still <Speech_Female> learned relational skills. <Speech_Female> And that's what ultimately <Speech_Female> what relationships <Speech_Female> are about as you're <Speech_Female> relating to someone else, <Speech_Female> right? So I <Speech_Female> don't think anybody should ever <Speech_Female> say <Speech_Female> I spent so much <Speech_Female> time dating people <Speech_Female> that weren't right for me <Speech_Female> because <Speech_Female> those people <Speech_Female> who are not right for <Speech_Female> you are prepping <Speech_Female> you for the person <Speech_Female> who is right for <Speech_Female> you. So thank you <Speech_Female> for being on <SpeakerChange> board and <Speech_Male> being open minded to <Speech_Male> that. Oh, thanks so <Speech_Male> much for the adventure. <Speech_Female> This is definitely <Speech_Female> fascinating. <Speech_Female> Yeah, for sure. I <Speech_Female> learned so much in such a <Speech_Female> short amount of time. It <Speech_Female> was wild. I think <Speech_Female> I'm gonna definitely <SpeakerChange> do dating <Speech_Female> differently now. Love it. <Speech_Female> That's right. <Speech_Female> Fabulous. <Speech_Female> Then, well, thank <Speech_Female> you so much for being part of <Speech_Female> the experiment and <Speech_Female> thank you all <Speech_Female> for listening to this <Speech_Female> experiment. If you <Speech_Female> love this experiment, <Speech_Female> if you want to sign up for <Speech_Female> a new one that <Speech_Female> we have down the line, <Speech_Female> just you can <Speech_Female> DM us or email us. You just go <Speech_Female> on a website, they will podcast <Speech_Female> dot com or better <Speech_Female> <Advertisement> yet, give us a 5 <Speech_Female> star rating in Apple <Speech_Female> podcasts and then <Speech_Female> we'll put <Speech_Female> <Advertisement> you at the top of the list. <Speech_Female> That's how you <Speech_Music_Female> get <SpeakerChange> in, <Speech_Music_Female> <Advertisement> all right? <Speech_Music_Female> <Advertisement> Okay.

"When <Speech_Female> <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Telephony_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Female> <Laughter> we listen back <Speech_Female> to the check ins, <Speech_Female> your first <Speech_Female> day check ins <Speech_Female> are so different <Speech_Female> from your second day <Speech_Female> check ins because there <Speech_Female> was just a lot more <Speech_Male> intimacy <SpeakerChange> and connection <Speech_Male> on that first day. <Speech_Male> Yes, <Speech_Male> I agree with that. I <Speech_Male> agree, there <Speech_Male> is something <Speech_Telephony_Male> about <Speech_Male> when it is <Speech_Male> too activity focused. <Speech_Male> You <Speech_Male> may lack <Speech_Male> the ability to get <Speech_Male> to know each other. I <Speech_Male> do also have to <Speech_Male> say, though, you know, <Speech_Male> because you know, I'm all <Speech_Male> about the yes and <Speech_Telephony_Male> like mentality <Speech_Male> and I feel as if <Speech_Male> and let me know <Speech_Male> if I didn't do <Speech_Male> this that if I <Speech_Male> presented <Speech_Male> a <Speech_Male> play experiment, <Speech_Male> if we didn't want to do <Speech_Male> it, then it would be like, oh, that's <Speech_Male> cool. We'll just do something else, <Speech_Male> you know. I <Speech_Male> wanted to create <Speech_Music_Male> that safe <Speech_Male> space that <Speech_Male> it didn't feel as if <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> she was going through <Speech_Telephony_Male> like a marathon <Speech_Telephony_Male> or Alan <Speech_Male> of now the <Speech_Male> next thing. But <Speech_Male> I do feel there's <Speech_Male> also <Speech_Male> opportunities in <Speech_Male> the play <Speech_Male> where one learns <Speech_Male> about each other <Speech_Male> that you can't learn <Speech_Male> from just <Speech_Male> talking about something, <Speech_Male> you know, <Speech_Male> it's more in <Speech_Male> the actual experience <Speech_Male> as well. So I <Speech_Male> feel there's value <Speech_Male> in both. When <Speech_Male> two people are in a space <Speech_Male> connecting with many <Speech_Male> different people <Speech_Male> and watching how <Speech_Male> they work with <Speech_Telephony_Male> each other, they learn a lot <Speech_Telephony_Male> about each other and that <Speech_Male> process as well. <Speech_Male> Because you can also say <Speech_Male> like, hey, I'm <Speech_Male> this way, <Speech_Male> but when you're in the <Speech_Male> experience, <SpeakerChange> then people <Speech_Female> can actually see it as <Speech_Female> well. I definitely <Speech_Female> agree with all of that. <Speech_Female> And <Speech_Female> I didn't directly communicate <Speech_Female> when I felt <Speech_Female> at times <Speech_Female> some anxiety around <Speech_Female> things. And I do feel <Speech_Female> like if I had directly said, <Speech_Music_Female> I don't I just don't want to <Speech_Music_Female> do that. You would have been totally <Speech_Female> flexible and <Speech_Female> open. I think <Speech_Female> you always did <Speech_Female> communicate that <Speech_Female> you want to be to feel comfortable <Speech_Female> <SpeakerChange> and enjoy <Speech_Female> what was happening. <Speech_Female> So I do think <Speech_Female> you do embody <Speech_Female> the yes and sentiment <Speech_Music_Female> and I do think <Speech_Female> that you <Speech_Female> did exhibit that with me, <Speech_Female> but I do think <Speech_Female> we did lose connectivity <Speech_Female> because <Speech_Female> the other people <Speech_Music_Female> ended up being very distracted. <Speech_Female>

"How do I stay curious? How do I stay present? So I think there's probably areas that both of you can kind of take away to kind of get that to be more well rounded. And it's ultimately a combination of both at the end of the day. If we just are looking for an activity partner, that's not really the core relationship, that's just an activity partner, but also if we're not doing anything interesting, then that's boring too. Yeah, I'll just say, yeah, I definitely wanna be more present person, I think I'm so goals oriented and when I think about what I'm looking for, I want a relationship, but why do I want a relationship? It's because I want marriage and kids, but obviously I need to experience life with somebody every day, right? Like, you know, life is literally millions of 24 hour sessions back to back. So do I enjoy hanging around this person, can I really be wholly myself and totally vulnerable and feel safe and comfortable around this person? So yeah, I definitely want to be more like Jeff in certain respects, but I still got my eye on the prize. I'm gonna husband. I'm gonna do things where like, you know, I wanna get to know you, right? Yeah. Yeah, oh no, I completely agree with that. I almost feel as if the first day was much more of us connecting on a level of understanding each other and who each other were and then I think the second day was much more experienced lead. So we probably spent less time connecting in that way. So yes, I agree. I think one of the biggest takeaways is going into a date with a default parameter. I think we go into day thinking, I'm going to give this person a like 5 minutes and if they don't live up to what I'm looking for, I'm out or the connection's not there, but what if you said the default is I'm giving this four hours minimally so that you kind of know that you are spending your time with someone for a set amount of time versus them trying to earn extra time with you. That's just never a good way to think about it. There is something to be said about the yes and mentality. And I actually think both Nora and Jeff can learn from this. We talked about Nora, you know, we touched upon that that you can be a little bit more present and open to this playfulness, that Jeff has been talking about. But for Jeff, it's this kind of the same thing. There is a yes and mentality in play, too. So if Nora wasn't so down for Hannah roses or fighting in front of the Uber driver, maybe there's an ant to that and not just a series of putting her through tests. And I know for Jeff's point of view, these were experiential activities, but from Nora's perspective, they felt like Tess and she wasn't passing these tests. So you're creating this me versus you mentality. But if you had a yes and a mentality, then it's okay, she's not down for that, but let's try something else. And let's just show a little bit more compassion with that. What is interesting is, yes, both of you had, I guess, a more chilled out date, the first day, and then more activities based. It sounds like there was more connection on the first day because you were able to speak and talk to each other and ask each other all the questions, but on day two, both of your interests tapered because of the activities that were overshadowing the date itself. It just felt like there was a lot of anxiety around activity. What to do next? Well, what crazy thing can we do next? What crazy thing can we throw into the mix? And that completely overpowers the integrity of the date, which is getting to know each other..

"You would like for them to show up versus someone who's open to working towards more playfulness or showing up in the way that you are expecting? Yeah. I think it's more of the openness, right? It's more like, you know, when I even when I describe it, it sounds as if it's like this is very rigid like there's only a certain way. That is what it sounds like. That is what it sounds like. And I'm sorry, it does sound that way, because when I even describe play, I describe it in like it's a very open ended like we're having like an adventure together. So there's a lot of opportunity to show up in many different ways and play and they don't have to play my way, but I just want them to be able to be more themselves and be willing to allow their silly weirdness to come out. And some people just don't find that. That's not their jam. So that's understandable. A lot of the people that I have dated are kind of weird and kind of silly and are open to things like I have these flowers here. One of the things we were potentially going to do is people watch and if we saw anyone that we thought was like really interesting or fascinating, we had these flowers. All right, I was thinking about giving them out to people. Well, I asked her, is that some Nora? Is that something that you open to and she's like, no. I know. Like, no, that's my thing. Okay, cool, you know? So then we didn't do that. I constantly was trying to, especially on day two, figure out ways in which how do we do something that's playful and fun, but also within her comfort zone. And if it wasn't, then we were just like, okay, we're not going to do that, you know? So 24 hours, you probably saw different sides of her throughout it..

"His campaign because he's running for office. And just the way we interacted with people was just different. And again, that's not wrong. It's just that we just weren't on the same page. It just didn't feel like we were connected. So, you know, I feel like, you know, we're looking at this, oh, what did she do wrong or what did I do wrong? I don't think we did anything wrong. I think we were just we interact with people in a different way. And then we even agreed and talked about it that way. They were just different people. So I don't know if that answers your question. No, I think that makes a lot of sense. Like, every day, is it going to end up being the person that you end up being with, right? That's just the matter of fact of this. I think the 24 hour if anything just probably sped up, understanding each other and seeing each other. I guess the part, though, that is interesting to me is there a world where differences could actually make you compatible and they're also are a lot of different other elements that make someone compatible outside of just play and how they interact in social settings. I guess was there anything that you really liked about her that you do want in a partner? Yeah, she is ridiculously smart, ridiculously dynamic. We had so many interesting conversations about politics about power classism, all this stuff. So that's, I mean, it was really interesting and riveting and fascinating. And she's just doing a lot of really dope work. You know, speaking to know about that, I could have talked to her for we did. We talked for hours about that. And I love that. I thought that was really amazing. It just also are the way in which we both want to impact the world. We both want to like our work is revolves around leaving not a legacy, but leaving an impact that actually helps other people. And to speak for people that may not be able to speak for themselves. So that's where we both connected. You did communicate the incompatibility. Can you walk us through how you communicated that? Oh, so then after the day, when we were just like texting back and forth, you know, it was like, hey, you know, this is what I really loved about, you know, our interaction, everything together. But I feel like because I'm much more of like a play guy and I kind of show up in this like play setting and a much more silly and very out there that might not be your vibe. So, you know, from my perspective, I didn't feel like we had that level of compatibility, but I still feel as if you're super dope. And so you did mention that her curiosity tapered off on day two. Did this happen after this talk? Oh, do we didn't have that talk until at the after all the way at the end of day two? Okay. So when did you notice the curiosity kind of tapering off? I think probably the second day, I think when we also became more comfortable with each other. We also have to remember that dynamic is we just spent 12 hours together and talk the entire time together. So in many ways, we felt like we had learned a ton about each other already. And then I think, I mean, my day, I felt was a little bit different from her, you know, her day. Mine started off by, you know, like I got her like a care package because she really liked popcorn and I found that out and I got like an umbrella and like a poncho and I was like, okay, let's start off today that way. You know, then we went to my friend's reams restaurant who the first time she was opening it up to anybody since the pandemic..

"Jeff, you've done a lot of fun experimental dates we're guessing that you've never done a 24 hour date before. So what about this date was different than your average date? So many different things. The fact that it was 24 hours, the fact that we spend 12 hours back to back, the fact that it felt like it was ten dates and also that it was a blind date where neither of us knew anyone. We were just like, this is the first time we were connecting. And that also we only could spend a $100, which then made it really. We had to be very creative in what we did in those 12 hours with only a $100. So it seemed like from the very start, you didn't feel like the romantic connection. At least from your check in. Was there ever a time that you felt this could be something or was it kind of consistently more of a platonic vibe? I mean, maybe early on, maybe in the first four to 6 hours when we're just trying to get to know each other. Because again, you get to learn so much about the person that a lot of times you don't even know if you're like, do I like this person or not because you're like, man, we have so much time together so we're gonna have plenty of time to figure this out, right? And then I think at one point when we were talking about play and I'm a play person. That's what I do. That's what I do for a living, all that. And she was like, I don't play a lot. I just don't play. That's just not my thing, that it was like, oh, okay, that's one of the first times where I was like, oh, well, this is where we are different. But also I was repeating myself, you know, even in the recordings like, you know, you know, I'm embracing my panda like spirit. Like let me be curious and let me be present and let's just keep going because maybe that will change or maybe that will evolve. But I don't think then it ever went there. So as soon as she told you that she wasn't into play, that's when the connection ended for you? No, I think it was just like, okay, well, you know, that doesn't mean that it's not possible. Let's just continue to experience this day. But just the way in which we each show up is drastically different, right? She's awesome, right? She's like dynamic and like at the top of her game. I think also because she's so results oriented. It's very different from me who are much more process oriented. So just even the way in which we show up in public is different. And I could see that in each and every one of our interactions when we would go to like a certain bar or we go to like a restaurant or something like that would just showed up differently, which then just felt like it was just not that type of connection. Having said that, we were both really curious about each other, so we I'm fascinated by her. So we talked the entire time. So I want to dig into this process oriented versus results oriented a little more. Sure. Can you kind of elaborate? What does that mean in terms of how you view it compatibility? So, you know, because I play, that's like what I do. I love to not really focus on an outcome. I'm really more in there for like attunement and connection. I talk a lot about this about how one of your first forms of ways in which you connect is via attunement. When a baby looks at a mother's eyes, like their brainwaves are identical. That's the way in which people begin to play, right? So everyone is always trying to attune with each other..

"I just don't think I would have seen that. Had we not done this together. But there was a shift on day two where you said you stopped talking to each other. Can you pinpoint exactly when that happened or what caused that to happen? Yeah, I mean, I think it was basically we went to this political fundraiser. There were obviously a lot of other people there. And then, you know, so we both had the same idea that we were going to have the beginning of the day, be really structured. And for me, I was like, because I didn't know him at all, right? And I didn't know what he'd like. So I figured I would just have a lot of options available. But the first part would be pretty structured. It'd be pretty like standard and benign, right? Like a walk across the bridge. You know, we're gonna go through the presidio because it's beautiful. We're gonna get some dim sum because I have a hundred bucks and gives this delicious. But then afterwards, I wanted to be flexible. I wanted to do like a wellness check. Make sure he was feeling okay and then see what he liked and then we could adjust from there. And I think his view was the same. You know, he had a set plan for part of the date and then he wanted to kind of be flexible and see how they took us. But once we were at that bar, you know, and I'm not putting it on him. I don't know what happened. But you know, throughout the journey, too, we met a lot of really wonderful people. And you know, once I shared what was going on, especially in particular, there was this bartender crystal, who like, she was just wonderful, and she was like, wait, you're all on a date and you're less than a hundred bucks. And she just gave a string. She gave a shot. And that was wonderful, and that kind of thing felt organic, and it was still a part of the experience we're having together. But at some point, we're like talking to all these other people. The fundraiser and then we're hanging out with them. And I was down for that, right? But when I was looking back at the date, I was like, this isn't to me getting to know you. I'm not getting what we were supposed to get out of this date, but also again like I am somebody who is more focused on the goals. I am somebody who's like, you know, I was given an assignment from you guys, basically, and I'm gonna follow the assignment. And I think he just lives his life with more flexibility, which I think is a really cool thing. But I just, yeah, I felt like at a certain point we just kind of were just doing activities, but also like by that point like it's the second day, the weather isn't great. You know, we're kind of confined by certain things, like we're physically exhausted, you know, it's raining outside. And so I feel like at that point, it kind of became like, okay, we don't really engage in directly with each other. But maybe we needed the break too. Like I kind of had made jokes about napping or going to a movie where we just didn't have to talk to each other because it's like it was a good thing, right? Like there were so many like it was just so much time together and also like you're spending a lot of time talking to each other, but then you're also doing these physically arduous things. And I feel like I sound like I'm really out of shape. I'm not. But I'm like, I was tired. And maybe he felt the same way. I didn't think at the moment, anything of it, but then kind of looking back, I was like, wait, we didn't kind of stop engaging directly..

"Am sorry. Fair enough. Does that make me feel like I was like last night, you know, like we were kind of talking, and I was like, I just kind of felt like, oh, am I not that fun? That's my own stuff, right? Someone's own perception of me. You know, especially someone like, yeah, we spent 20 hours together, but he doesn't know who I am, right? And so this is a thing that I just need to work on. Not be swayed. Like, I know who I am, or I'm working on that. And I know I'm a fun person. And my sense of fun might not be the same as someone else's, but yeah, I think I do think we are not compatible, but I think I was a little hurt that maybe he didn't think we were bad. Because everyone wants to be liked anyway, right? Again, that's a meat thing. Did he say that to you? Yeah, I think so. I think he wanted to be direct and Frank, which I also really appreciated. I wasn't sure how I was feeling to be completely honest..

"Nora, you went on a 24 hour date, which we're guessing it's probably the first time you've ever done anything like that. What in particular about this date was different than your normal date? Honestly, first and foremost, it was just like physically exhausting. I'm 35 years old. I'm in reasonably good shape. I thought, but after the first night, I literally had to put a heating pad on my head. And I was like, am I 35 or my son? Because this is like insane. But I mean, I think just like physically, it was like taxing in that respect, but I think also like, I mean, I had to commit to spending 24 hours with someone that I might not even like. And I think in this era of complete, I don't know, I feel like with the apps, people view other people sometimes, it's totally disposable, and people won't even give people 24 minutes. And here I am like, committing a full day to someone I don't know. And so a full weekend. Yeah, I was like, I have a lot of shit to do, but I'm definitely gonna just not do anything that I need to do in my life and commit to this. But yeah, I think we just were able to delve really deeply into our values our morals and I got a sense of who someone was at their fundamental level really quickly so that was definitely a really different. I feel like and I think I said this in one of my recordings. I was like, you guys just wore us down, right? Like that was like one of the things you did. And so at one point, I remember my vision of the date was definitely really different than Jeff's. I did a lot more like one on one thing. And I did like traditional date things. And he kind of my view is he kind of had like a scavenger hunt vibe to his stuff. And like, you know, I think generally, I'm a people pleaser, and I think I would have got along with some of the things he wanted, but he planned a second date and 17 hours in. He asked, we went to the Salvation army and we had to pick out things. Number one, I picked up very utilitarian things, which I don't think he like, yeah. We'll talk about compatibility later, but you know, and then he takes me to a political fundraiser. And I'm like, I'm taking this shit off. I am not going into this place. I literally looked like I looked homeless. I was wearing multiple layers of things. I just did it. I was like, by 17 hours and I definitely felt more comfortable, but I also had this paradoxical feeling of discomfort because I tend to overshare. I said this also. So like, in two hours, I can easily overshare in a date, but now you've given me 24 hours. And so I can really overshare. And so there was this sense of intimacy because of the shared time, but at the end of the day, I still don't know this person. You can't show someone 24 hours later, right? So you okay, so it's interesting. It sounded like at the beginning. It sounded like there was maybe more of a connection for you. And then as time went on, it seemed to be more this might not be the best match or not super compatible. Kind of walk us through that. What changed for you? Yeah, I mean, I think so I think physically I just didn't get to be completely Frank. I didn't feel a lot of chemistry initially, but I really, really enjoyed just personality..

But the fact that we were able to connect and be as sociable with each other for that long period of time, even though we didn't know each other was really like amazing and difficult to do, but we were able to pull it off. So overall the date was like a 7 and a half, 8 out of.

"I'm old, not old obviously bit. Heating pad after 12 mile Walking Dead. Yeah, I do think maybe there's a romantic connection, but I couldn't say that after seeing someone once, you know, that's just, for me, little impossible. And then we're back at it again for day number two at the daters met again at 10 a.m.. This time, we checked in with them around the same time as yesterday, which is 2 p.m., but we didn't get a voice memo back until 5 p.m.. So WTF, what was happening? Turns out they were having a little too much fun. Okay, here is my recording, probably two or three hours late apologize, but you know, these things happen. It's been awesome. It's been so lovely. The things that I planned out worked out even better than I thought. So I took her to my friend reims restaurant. She owns this really dope, awesome restaurant, and she was there and a bunch of my friends that also worked there were there, and they told us all about the restaurant. They gave us a tour of the restaurant, and that was really the thing because I wanted to do something different where we interacted with other people. And it wasn't just like pressure was just on us to like, oh, we can only talk to each other. So that was the strategy. Like, okay, let's do things that I wouldn't even normally do anyway. So I'm going to reams, they gave us so much extra food, which is great because I was like, our budget is only like $30. And then we went to my Friends campaign holiday party. So my friend mad haney is running for office. Some assembly district or something like that. So we crashed his party because it's a free party where they had like grits and shake it and wings and waffles and stuff like that. And then we got drinks and then we started telling everyone about this dateable podcast episode and then people started buying us drinks. I had a plan of what we were going to do next. I was actually going to take us to the mall and pass out flowers for people that we thought were really dope. But this guy just came up to us and he goes, hey, you know, y'all really cool. I've already bought your shots. You want to go to this party at Twitter. I might be going to the store department. So I don't know if he's going to actually go. We'll see if he comes through, but we're down. Oh, the other thing of like, are we more attractive to each other or less? I think we're, in my opinion, I think I'm less likely. I now know her enough to know that I'm super playful, super flexible, super, and she's just different. And I'm much more like clear about that as we've spent more and more time. And also like now she's asking less questions, so it's like not as curious. So like that's just the vibe and the interesting. But still, we're having a really fun time, so..

"Surprising thing I learned was just how much Jeff stepped up to help take care of his nephew. He moved all the way back to Chicago, got an apartment. I thought that was really incredible, and it shows, you know, how much he comes through for the people who cares about. So very surprising. Actually, I have two, so I'll tell you another one. His last date was two years ago. I was like, mine was earlier this week. Sorry, but I mean not sorry 'cause I literally don't know you. Well, I do now, but 12 hours ago I did not. So yeah, it's been really fun and I will check in with you probably another few hours. And then at the end of the day, around ten 30, we checked in with them for final time. We still could engage if there was a romantic connection here. So we really wanted to push them a little further and ask on a scale of one to ten. How would they rate the date? And did they see a romantic connection? This is getting spicy. Ten 55 p.m. lane in bed back and Oakland. Man, like I hurt my leg, like I said, we walk so much. My body was not ready to be walking that much. But anyway, to answer your question, how excited I am about tomorrow? I don't know, man. We just spent 12 hours together, like a 6, maybe a 7. Maybe after I get some rest, maybe we'll be higher. As for whether we're compatible together, I'd probably rate it like our compatibility is like a 5 out of ten. We had really amazing day, right? And we connected and I give that like 7 and a half 8 out of ten because just we really get along. But the reality is is like I'm a play guy plays like rooted in who I am and I asked her like when was the last time she played and she doesn't know, right? So it's not wrong or right. It's just different. You know, we have different like my lowest level of play is probably over and overwhelming amount of play. So we'll see tomorrow. Maybe I maybe I'm wrong about that, but yeah. We could talk all day about anything,.

"Did I enjoy spending time with them? If the answer is yes, go on a second date. We believe in a two date default we've talked about this before, just because the first date is all about just getting to know each other in the second date you can gauge more of that chemistry. Now coming out of the second date, I think you should come out with, and from zero to a hundred. How attracted am I to this person? So that I want to see them again. Zero to a hundred. Am I past the 50% mark? And if you are, go on a third date. And I think that's how you keep progressing every day you gauge where you are on that spectrum. I think some of this is knowing yourself too, because there are some people in our audience and our listeners that give people so many tries and they don't really know what they're looking for at all. And then there's the other people that swing to the opposite side of the pendulum that are quick to get rid of people, right? So I think some of it is knowing where you are too. There is something nice about being like, I know what I'm looking for to some degree and I'm not saying that it should be qualities like they're 6 feet or whatever. But you know, like someone that makes me laugh. If I can't laugh on a date, then maybe that isn't the person for me. Or maybe not even someone that makes me laugh at someone I can laugh with like enjoy myself. So it's good to have something that are hardened non negotiables. I think that is important because if you don't have a north star, it's gonna be really hard to find anyone. That being said, if it's all superficial, non negotiables, that's another reason why maybe giving that second date or extended time could actually help you get out of your own way. So I think there's a side of understanding yourself and where you are..

"In the beginning, when we first posted this, so many people were like, hell, no. I would never do this. I would watch someone do this. I would never participate. And now the more we talk about it and because of the holidays, I think. Some people have said to me, if you do this again, let me know. I'm down. I'm down. So maybe this will be a rolling thing. I will say we did put out a call out on Instagram, the podcast and Facebook. We got a ton of submissions, so there's definitely a group that was eager to do it. I would say they were about 90% women. So women are way more into this than bed for whatever reason. Great women. Straight women. Call out. And I've asked a few of my guy friends if they would do it. And the answer was all no. So, of course, that's a generalization, but it is what we were seeing for whatever weird reason that women were maybe a little more receptive to this idea. So hats off to Jeff or being brave enough for this experiment. He did not need any convincing. He was like, hell yeah, I'm gonna do it. And you'll see why. His personality is just so in line with this experiment. It just makes so much sense. Yes. Yes. Before we get into this episode, I want to give a few shout outs because I realized that so many people listen to the podcast and then we talk about it on DMs or through email or even through an in person conversations and we forget that we had these conversations. So I want to give a shout out to my friend Venus, who's a goddess. Through and through, and she's been listening to our podcast and Julie, I don't know if you have friends who are like, I keep hearing you talk about a podcast you do. And I finally got a chance to listen to it. It just shows that not all of our friends actually listen to our podcast, but this is like, I finally listened to it. I'm hooked on it. I listened to it on my commute. You guys are so funny and so engaging and I enjoyed every episode. So I want to give a reverse shout out to Venus. Thank you so much for listening to our show. And for being entertained by us, because we entertain ourselves, too. I love that name. Definitely goddess. You know, it's interesting because we have so many interactions with people on a weekly basis that sometimes if they happen early at the week I forget by the time it's the intro. Because every week feels it's weird. I feel like time goes really slow and really fast at the same time. Things that happen, day ago, somehow, I feel like is a month ago, even though it was a day ago. It's a time warp. Yes. Before we get into our question, I want to ask you your opinion on one thing that's came up for me earlier. Oh, holiday related. And it kind of made me think about it when you were talking about our Friends listening to the podcast 'cause I may offend people, so hopefully people so if you're a friend of Julie, you can just turn off the podcast now..

"What about patients who are angry so we have all had the patients that call on the phone and they're angry about maybe a bill or maybe they're in pain and they were told they weren't going to be paying whatever the scenario when a patient calls angry. Yes you have to deal with it immediately. But it's a problem because you're stuck. You're stuck what about times that you made a mistake and you had to accept that you were wrong. And you're beating yourself up about it. Okay so. I gave you some scenarios. But what i want to do is give you some advice for a few of these. Say you're having an argument with the upper management or the boss. Well i have always taught in coach that if you are going to come to your boss with a problem and it's going to be vice versa. If you're going to come to them with the problem it really should not be around you. Let me give you an example of exception if somebody's harassing you if somebody's being very rude to you. That of course is all about you. And that that i can understand but what i'm talking about is the performance of another employee or the fact that this new practice purchase is not working out. We need to keep ourselves in our emotions out of it because ultimately when you make it about their leadership style or year leadership style it becomes personal. What i would love for you to do is lead with the idea that we need to think about how it affects the practice. The think about this when you tell me that you don't like how sarah runs the morning. Huddle it's annoying. She talks a lot. I don't ever understand what she's talking about dc. I made it all about sarah. And i made it all about me. Think of it differently. I'd really like to talk about how the morning huddle is run. I don't feel. I'm getting enough information to work with the patients. Can we do this differently. What you are doing is tying it back to patient care. It all comes back to patient care not necessarily even the health of the practice because the health of the practice ties back to patient care. So i want you to if you're going to come to anybody with a critique or a concern don't make it about you make it about the impact to the practice in the impact on patient care so if jill is always late in the mornings and it's bugging you and you're talking to the boss and you're like you know what she needs to be fire. She does this all of the time. You're complaining about jail now and all that you're going to hear. Is you complaining about jill and you know in your personal life if you have two people that don't like each other and all they do is complain to each other. What happens over time when you start to hear them. Talk about it you go. Yeah yeah yeah in your mind. You're doing yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. You've heard it before it's going to go the same way. There's nothing new to add to it and that's why we can't make it personal. I'd rather you do is talk about the fact that when jill is lay it affects everything so i am having a hard time making sure that i can get my patients seated on time when i don't know what's what's on the schedule. The schedule's not clear. So i really need you to help me understand what i'm supposed to do with my first second third patients. I don't have anybody here to tell me this. And i'm really afraid. It's going to affect the patient. The other part of that is let's go with the morning. Muddle morning huddle issue because this is this comes up a lot either. Somebody doesn't contribute to the morning huddle or somebody is always late to the morning..
