How Diane Cotter Discovered PFAS "Forever Chemicals" in Her Husband's Protective Gear
"One day i came across a story about a new jersey firefighter who had succumbed to a horrific incident where he was out of fire and his gear failed so we know what that means it degraded now what happened to his body was that he suffered steam burns that covered i'll be conservative and say over 70 percent of his body but i think it was closer to 90 percent and that horrified me to think that his gear failed at a fire obviously if he knew it was failing he wouldn't have worn the gear so i ran down to our basement and i pulled paul's gear out of the box it had been stored in and i had turned the basement light off and i took a flashlight and i shined it through the three layers the outer shell the moisture barrier and the thermal liner and i it was specific to look in the crotch area because that's where those reproductive organs are and i'm thinking jesus did his did did toxin seep through his groin area did his gear degrade and i found these coin size quarter dime nickel pieces of fabric missing you wouldn't know what to look at it because if you couldn't see that it was missing because the gear looked fine and then i ran back upstairs and i thought holy crap this is something wrong because i understood enough about absorption in the groin area to understand that that's that area that's so absorptive you know like your neck the tissues are very thin i had educated myself a lot on cancer by that point in time and i started looking then on the computer about the the fabrics themselves and i started to look at nomex and kevlar the moisture barriers and um i came into this 1999 safety alert that the international you know the big labor union had written to manufacturers demanding that they recall a moisture barrier because the moisture barrier had degraded so i'm thinking well what's what's going on why is the iafs sending out a safety alert because in that letter they had threatened to sue the manufacturers if they didn't recall this a moisture barrier that had degraded the companies had given pushback that they they weren't gonna you know do what the iafs said now and this was counter to everything that i had understood and loved about the manufacturers from reading years worth of you know fire engineering and firehouse magazine used to come to our house and in the paperback in the paper versions and i started to look at who those names were on there and i'm like why is this so strange this is a terrible feeling that the union back then had to fight to get those moisture barriers recalled at any event then i began to contact people about cancer and in the degradation of the gear and does that have something to do with this you know the cancer that my husband had i started networking with fire fighters laughing because i have to tell you one of the things i did i became so obsessed that i was messaging 200 firehouses a day and getting kicked off of facebook because there's a limit of people that you can i was a habitual offender as a spammer because i was saying do you know about this degradation in the gear and and i was sending emails to anyone i could think of that could help me track down this degradation i sent thousands of emails thousands i think at the last count there was 25 000 emails that i had sent out and the response i received was astounding because nobody could answer my questions but i did get a response from aaron brockovich who emailed and then called and she said diana i've gotten your emails and i just got a call from the fire chief in new hampshire who has 13 firefighters with cancer and i said that doesn't surprise me because every firehouse is a cancer cluster so we spoke and she said does the gear have pfoa or pfos and i never heard that language before and i went to the computer and i googled turnout gear pfoa pfos and i found a document from the european chemical association and from an industry site in europe discussing the potential transition to non pfoa ppe so i'm here in the united states can't possibly have that stuff because you know we're the united states of america they wouldn't do that to their bravest oh but i was wrong

Game of Crimes
A highlight from 116: Part 1: Eric McBride and the December 2015 San Bernardino Terrorist Attack
"Ola, ola, ola, amigos, amigos, players, playerettes, dudettes, everybody in between, welcome back. This is the follow -on episode to last week with Rick Prado on the 22nd anniversary of 9 -11. We had a theme going here, we wanted to follow through on this next theme, and we'll tell you about that here in just a second, but first of all, welcome. As always, I'm here. I'm Morgan. I'm here literally with my partner in crime, and we're going to do what we did last time. I know some of you guys like small town police water, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do that when we're talking about something as serious as when we talked about 9 -11. And then this month we're talking with Eric McBride. He retired as the chief of police in San Bernardino City. If you guys remember, Alex Collins we had on was a deputy with San Bernardino County. His partner was killed, Jamie McBride. He was wounded by a piece of shit. We don't even want to mention his name. But we're getting into now the December 2015 terrorist attack at the city of San Bernardino. Fourteen people killed, I think twenty -seven wounded, and it just didn't seem right to follow on. You know, we wanted to have a couple serious discussions, so that's kind of what it was. So before we get started though, just a couple quick things. Head on over to Apple, Spotify, hit those five stars. Let us know what you thought of last week's episode. Let us know what you think of this week's episode. And don't worry folks, next week we'll get back into small town police water. Also head on over to our website, gameofcrimespodcast .com, our book from our prior guest, Rick Prado. You'll see that up there, Black Ops, The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior. Great reading. You just got to get it. We've got everything you need there. Follow us on social media at Game of Crimes on Twitter, at Game of Crimes podcast on Facebook and the Instagram. But follow us on Patreon too, patreon .com slash gameofcrimes. We just recorded some great episodes. You can't make this shit up. We've got 9 -1 -1, Case of the Month. One rule we made is Murph never gets to pick a movie again. He has to submit it for review before we review it. I promise to do better in the future. Well, because you're on the hook for next month. All right. But guys, we have a lot of good stuff over there. Everything about, you know, we get into funny stuff, we get into serious stuff. Our Case of the Month has been recommended by you, the listeners out there. So head on over there, patreon .com slash gameofcrimes. Now this is a show about crime. We normally are fun and jovial because this is a show about crime. We talk about bad people doing bad things and bad people doing bad things to good people. We take the story seriously and that's how we're going to do it. This is not about us having fun and joking at the expense of a serious incident like this. So our next guest, Aaron McBride, like we said, retired as the chief of police, worked his way up from patrol officer, but started off as a Marine, formerly on active duty. He's got some good stories there, but he comes to us through another long list of people, a family of service, the McBrides out in California. He does. You know, our good buddy out in San Diego, Mel Sosa, made an introduction for us, got us to Eric. But the McBride family is well known in the law enforcement circles out there as brother Jamie, his niece Tony, and then Jamie's other daughter are all police officers out there that have experienced violence that, you know what, most cops in the United States don't have to experience. I'm not sure what's going on with the McBride family here, but you know what, they don't shy away from it and they don't run away. They address the issues as they come to them, and they're protecting their communities. Eric here was just the fact that, I mean, he's a trendsetter. You're going to hear him talk about his high school career, getting out of high school early so he could join the Marine Corps early. And his whole life is service to his community and his fellow man. And you know, in my book, there's no greater calling that you're willing to dedicate your life to work for the public. A public servant, I think, is a term of a hero. And that's certainly who we have on here today. And I'll tell you, again, we've got to thank our buddies out there, Southern California Gang Conference, Mel Sosa, all of those people. They're brothers to us. They get us great gifts, great gifts, great guests, which are gifts for things like this. And I'll tell you, you've really got to sit down and listen to this because one of the things that's going to come out of this is stuff that has not really been talked about in the media before, and you'll hear him talk about a call that was received. He's been briefing this to law enforcement. On the day of, he was the, quote, deputy incident commander, but he was the incident commander for all intents and purposes. And so he's not the one at the tip of the spear out there, but this guy has the overview of everything going on. You're going to hear things that went well. You're going to hear about things that didn't go so well. But we will never get to hearing any of this, Murph, unless I ask you, are you ready to play the biggest, baddest? And as we see in this episode, too, the most dangerous game of all, the game of crime. Absolutely. So everybody get in, sit down, shut up, hold on. You're getting ready to hear a story about an incident that I wasn't even aware of, a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. So Eric, tell us what's going on, brother.

"As a contractor, I choose Hardee fiber cement because I've seen it outperform wood -based siding and other hard siding materials.

Using Hardee siding has significantly reduced my callbacks and warranty claims too. At James Hardee, we're here to support you. From training materials to resources that can help you generate a greater profit. Learn more about growing your business with us at jameshardee .com slash build. Hey, guys. I got some breaking news for the NFL and crypto fans out there. There's some ways to make more money with crypto if you're a fan of fantasy football in the NFL like a lot of you probably are. Now, guys, unless you're under a rock, you've heard of fantasy football. Well, there's a crypto aspect to fantasy football, and that's draft kings. Draft kings have NFTs of every single player that you could draft. So if you play fantasy football and you see that random wide receiver, that random running back, you can draft that as an NFT. Well, there's a big, big injury that happened on Sunday. You maybe saw Aaron Rodgers. He got a career -ending injury, potentially career -ending. It's definitely season -ending. It's a bad Achilles heel injury, and he is out. Well, where's the crypto opportunity in that? Well, NFTs of Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson was the backup player for the Green Bay Packers. NFTs of Zach Wilson shot up from $69 all the way up to $555. Okay, that is an 8x. That's almost a 900 % gain right there. Sorry. No, it's 700%. That's almost a 700 % gain right there, folks. All right. Thank you, editor, for bearing with me here. Now, that NFT was for the elite version, and there's only 30 copies of those. So the less supply there is, the more value that these NFTs are going to have. So you don't want to go for the common or the uncommon if you're trying to flip NFTs. A lot of times, you just want to go for the rare for that hot, for that holy grail of the NFTs there. Now, what is the next opportunity, guys? Now, this was a huge, huge gain, okay? Going from $69, which is a pretty nice price, all the way up to $550, that's people would go crazy. A Wall Street guru, the world's best Wall Street trader, would go nuts for those types of returns. Well, guys, I think these returns can be had regularly, okay? Now, it might not always be a marquee player like, you know, Aaron Rodgers is in the backup, but sometimes, you know, running backs get injured all the time. Wide receivers get injured all the time. Other quarterbacks, there's, you know, almost 30 other quarterbacks that are, you know, worth their salt there. There's going to be tons of opportunities. Say your fantasy football team is doing terrible. You're horrible. You're in last place. You know you're not going to get in the playoffs. It's three weeks in, and you basically want to throw in the towel. Well, don't give up because there's a lot of opportunity with this DraftKings angle. All you have to do is just watch Sunday. Be the first one or two people to buy the NFT of that soon -to -be upgraded bench warmer, okay? Maybe it's a running back. Maybe it's a quarterback. Maybe it's a wide receiver. You don't know who's it going to be because we don't know who's going to get injured. There's going to be a lot of people maybe watching behind. There's going to be people FOMOing in later. There's going to be people maybe buying it an hour later. I want you to be watching the game, and I want you buying that NFT within seconds. Now, if you have a knowledge about football and you have a knowledge about crypto, this is a unique opportunity for you because not everyone is going to have your knowledge. Not everyone has your years of training being that armchair quarterback. You know, watching this channel, discovering crypto, figuring out how to get this wallet, figuring out what do you mean NFT marketplace, knowing what that means, knowing what your seed phrase is, having it written down, having all these things safe and having a roster of NFL NFTs that you can capitalize off of as there's going to be a lot of opportunity here. Sixteen weeks left, right? Seventeen weeks in the season. We got a lot of weeks left in the season. That's a lot of weeks of injuries. That's a lot of weeks of buying NFTs. And, guys, it's not just Sunday. We got Monday. We got Thursday. I think even Saturday night sometimes, so there's going to be opportunity. So if you're a football fan, turn it into an opportunity, a money -making opportunity. I'm not saying, you know, you're going to get paid 100 bucks an hour to watch football, but some people literally were paid hundreds of dollars an hour to watch football. Those that bought that Zach Wilson NFT and those that sold into the profit because that's going to be the key as well is spiked all the way up to 550 bucks. Guess what? Zach Wilson's NFT is now down. It's, I think, under 300. So you sell into the hype. You get in. You get out. There's a lot of opportunity to be made here, folks. I'm trying to give you financial freedom. So if you watch some football, you like NFTs, this is a great opportunity for you. That's all I got. DZ out. Let's discover crypto together, baby. You've been dreaming about the dress.

"What a slice. You can imagine the rides. All right. We're off and running on a Thursday night. Yeah, we'll jump in. We'll do some sports. We got to do the automakers, right? Because the game is about to start, so we'll do that first. Get your picks in. We'll talk more with Kevin Downey Jr., Big Z, David Zier, and of course Slick Rick. Stay there. Live from Studio 6B, Real America's Voice. We will be back. Live from Studio 6B, Real America's Voice on a Thursday night. Like I mentioned, if you're just joining us, Big D is out, as you can tell. Big David Zier is in. Big Z is in for him. He'll be covering some news. Kevin Downey Jr. returns to the show. Friend of the show is back for some more. Believe it or not, we didn't scare him away. He decided he could hang with us again. And of course, Slick Rick, let's throw it to you because I guess we got a Thursday night game. We got to get the Odds Makers picks in. That's right. We got to get the Odds Makers fired up, Rick. Levi Stadium, Santa Clara, California. Kickoff in just about two and a half minutes. San Francisco 49ers hosting the New York Giants. Cue it up, Aaron. Let's go. Oh, look at this. Nice. All right. I'm going to give my pick, but before I do, I want to hear Aaron's pick. Aaron and I have been going head to head now for, this is week three, Aaron. We kick off, and let's go tonight. Who do you got? Well, not Monday. Thursday Night Football on Prime Video. There you go. If you don't have Amazon Prime, you're not watching the game, which is absolutely crazy, but that's that. Yeah, absolutely horrendous. But I will kick off tonight's pick. I am going with the Giants. Spread is still 10 and a half tonight, right? Yes, it is. Correct. So the spread's 10 and a half. I think the Giants are going to be able to cover it on the road. They had a good, you know, they have a good chance of losing still, but I think the spread will play in my favor nonetheless. They had an epic comeback last week in the second half against the Cardinals. It was that they tied their biggest deficit comeback since the 1940s, which is impressive. So I think they're going to have a good game. Daniel Jones is outstanding, and I think it's just going to be good for them. All right. Well, that's a good pick. I know I liked her for a reason. Well, I got to push back on Daniel Jones outstanding. I don't know about that. I think the police guy directing traffic in and out of the stadium is more outstanding. Oh, my God. Let's relax. Let's relax. But I like I like to pick 10 and a half, and I was going to shift my pick because I just found out Brandon Aiyuk, who is the leading receiver for the 49ers, has been relegated to inactive tonight, which kind of counterbalances Saquon Barkley being out with that ankle injury. So I was going to shift my pick. But no, I think the Niners are going to roll it. They're a great team. Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey. It goes on and on. George Kittle, Deebo Samuel. I just think they have too many weapons. I think they'll be too strong. We're going to make a statement at home to go 3-0, keep pace with my Cowboys. So I'm going to take the Niners and I'm going to lay the ten and a half. I'm actually looking at a blowout, something like thirty three to ten. So that's my pick for tonight. I disagree completely. I know you do a great job, but I think the Niners are going to take it tonight. I like the gold rush tonight, Rick. All right. Very good. So there's your pick for Thursday night. Tomorrow night, of course, we'll do the the picks for the rest of the weekend on Odds Makers. So make sure you're tuning in for that, especially if you're relying on sick Rick for your pick. Hey, I'm not doing bad. I'm six. No, you're not doing bad. Twelve and six. That's not bad. Twelve out of eighteen. You'll take me to Vegas.

I also went on the big picture with Sean Fennesey. They did a Denzel Washington movie draft and I was on there with Sean and Amanda Dobbins and Chris Ryan and Van Lathan. That was really fun. I got over competitive. I'm sorry. I apologize to everybody in the room. Coming up on this podcast, well, the Jets, that happened. We're gonna talk about what happens now at the AFC East with Benjamin Solak. We're gonna bring in our guy, Sean Fennesey, diehard Jets fan to walk through his emotions the last 12 hours. And then last but not least, Nick Khan, who was running WWE, but today they merged with UFC. And we're gonna talk about that merger, what it means, what it means for the business, what's Vince McMahon's role in the whole thing. And then we're gonna talk a lot of sports media stuff as well. ESPN versus Charter, what the NBA rights are gonna be. So this is an action -packed podcast. Dare I say it's a TKO for you, the listener. Let's bring in Pearl Jam. All right, we're taping this on Tuesday morning, we got the words that Aaron Rodgers, out for the year, torn Achilles, Sean Fennesey, who I've worked with for 11 plus years at this point, diehard Jets Mets fan, Knicks, been a rough ride, rocky road. After Rodgers went down five minutes into the game, you just tweeted goodbye and it didn't respond to texts. We didn't know. I was saying it was like, Marcuson's gone. There is no Marcuson. It's like, Sean's gone. There is no Sean. How are we feeling today? Thanks for having me on the show, Bill. Really kind of you to have me on. I feel justified in all of my melodramatic curse talk. I'm sure I feel similar to how you felt in 2002, 2003, you know, with the socks and feeling anxiety. I feel bad. I feel even worse, actually, because they won for a variety of reasons. But we got a chance to see, like, this is a really cool, fun, exciting team. And they, I don't know if they were Super Bowl bound, but it's easy to imagine a world in which they could have been Super Bowl bound. So yeah, I feel I feel very bad. Very bad. Well, I think the revelation from last night was that Breese looked like 95 percent of where he was last year, which I was not expecting. He was a weird fantasy football guy. It was people like, when's he going to be 100 percent, is it going to happen? So the fact that he looked like that almost made the Rogers thing worse as the game was going on, if it was even possible to feel worse about it, because it's like, oh, this guy is like a guy again. Yeah, even at the very beginning of the game, it's stupid to nitpick the first four play calls. But I was like, wow, they're really throwing a lot coming out of this game. I thought the whole point of this season was to actually use the running game to power Rogers. Obviously, the injury is a freak injury. Nothing could have prevented it. He's an older player. That O -line is obviously problematic, but it was painful actually watching Breese play so well because that could have been really the focal point of the offense. And then Aaron Rodgers just needed to be competent and then this would have been a really competitive team. So it's like I'm legitimately depressed about it. On the other hand, I tell you what I really don't like about it.

podcast – Lawyers, Guns & Money
A highlight from LGM Podcast: AFC Preview
"You know, Herbert has to go out there and he has to win a division or, you know, win a playoff game, right? You know, that's, we are firmly, he's in the fourth year, he needs to go out there, this team needs to win a playoff game this year, they're certainly capable of doing it, but if he doesn't win a playoff game this year, it's starting to become a little bit of a disappointment. This is the Lawyer's Guns and Money Podcast. Hello and welcome to the Lawyer's Guns and Money Podcast, and welcome to our annual NFL preview with Scott Lemieux and Rob Farley. Gentlemen, hello. It is finally time for the NFL to return, and thus the world is right again. Finally, Sunday has a point. God lives, finally. Not three days he's dead, it's like seven months. So, let's, we might as well just jump into this, you know, as a pretty exciting season unfolds with what I believe is the vastly superior conference this year, the AFC. And why don't we start with the AFC East, which is kind of a traditional place to start, where you've got a pretty interesting division with four teams that all have a few question marks, but all could be 500 or higher. Yeah, it's fun. So, I have the win projections from Aaron Schatz's annual almanac, which formerly under the auspices of Football Outsiders, which was destroyed by some shady Canadian company. So, the projected wins for the division are Bill's 10 .8, so basically 11, Jet's 9 .8, so basically 10, the Dolphins 8 .5, perhaps a little lower than some men have anticipated, and the New England Patriots at 8 .1, projected to be under 500 for another year. So, do we think that's, yeah, and that's probably roughly how I'd see the division lining up, Bill's winning it, Jet's wild card. I mean, the Dolphins, so I guess take those, let's go one by one. So, the Bills are interesting in that they were probably the team most picked to win the Super Bowl last year, and it was a weird year, and yet they had a good record, the underlying stats were fine, but something always seemed a little bit off about them, and then they just got absolutely, the score on that Bengals playoff game was not as close as the game, and they struggled to beat Skylar Thompson the previous week. So, I think the question is, do we just kind of write off last year, Allen clearly was playing hard for a lot of the year, Miller was injured, tons of injuries to the defense, so we kind of write off last year's an aberration, and basically say they should be top contenders again, or do we say McDonough's gonna regret that 13 seconds where he turtled against Mahomes and Tyree killed the rest of his career. I have to say that instinctively I'm kind of leaning towards the latter, that I think the Bills are still a good team, but I wonder if they kind of lost their moment and the rest of the conference, several teams in the conference are kind of pulling ahead of them, but they're still good, I may be wrong about that, but there's something I don't know, there's something I don't entirely like about the vibes around that team, I'm not sure I can, I don't know if it's my old Josh Allen skepticism or what, but I think they're like a good team, but I would rank them pretty far below the, well, there's the injury issues of the Chiefs, but if the Chiefs and Bengals are healthier, I think I like them quite a bit more. Yeah, I would say that part of a hallmark of your approach to the Bills and Josh Allen is consistency, Scott, I mean, you've got another train and you've stayed on that train, as long as it will take you, right. I mean, yeah, you know, I don't know, I mean, this is an awfully good division, but I think every team in this division has serious questions, except for the Bills, right, you know, all of the other teams are solid, right, but would you really be surprised to see Aaron Rodgers completely fall apart, would you be surprised to see Tua get hurt, you know, and who knows what's going on in New England, but I mean, you know, the Bills, you know, I have to agree with you, right, that they need to be the favorite in this division and then much depends on two things which are very hard to predict, which are Tua and Aaron Rodgers and, you know, I think we have to grapple with the fact that we, you know, we can't, you know, I think we go into this Aaron Rodgers question with, you know, sort of seeing Tom Brady ahead of him and that's probably wrong, right, because, you know, Brady is so sui generis, right, that I don't think we can take that projection and then apply it to what we're going to see out of this Jets team, so I don't know, I mean, beyond the Bills, I don't know what's going to happen, what's going to happen in this division other than it's a pretty good division, there are going to be some pretty good games, I mean, I think I do agree that the Patriots are probably going to come in last, but I would not be shocked if any of the three teams, if any of the teams other than the Bills came in last, I would be shocked if the Bills even came in second, so.

All right Julie, before we get to part three and the first point, you had some agents in our coaching program and podcast listeners that you wanted to recognize. Yes that's right and this is related to the topic of part three. I call this the fun part of working with your past client center of influence so that you can get lots of repeat and referral business and this is your schedule of events. So we'll talk about that in a second. Quick shout out. Speaking of events, what are some of you doing? Well, we have lots of examples from past coaching clients, current coaching clients, lots of action on the Facebook page here. From John Salman, one of my elite coaching clients, he says two things. Number one, our city does an annual vendor bazaar that has somewhere around 200 vendors. It's a big thing for our community. It benefits a charity. I'll be doing a drawing for a free seller side listing. Seller only has to pay for the buyer agent commission. During the bazaar, I'll be using my booth to answer questions to anyone that wants to know more about our local real estate market. And number two, his brokerage is him and his wife right now. Their company Christmas party will be them inviting their center of influence as well as some of those vendors from the other event that we work with, lenders, contractors, title company, et cetera. So those are two events that John's got planned. And then Aaron Wild, another coaching client, says I'm in the middle of planning a trick or trunk pumpkin patch. My daughter is a Halloween baby so she's keeping me accountable. Kids are always good at that, right? That's great. Let's see. A couple of people said they're really looking forward to this podcast. So Marilyn Hodgson, you are one of those. And let's see, from a coaching call today, Gray out in Ocean City, New Jersey, is doing a twist on the pumpkin patch. He's doing a scarecrow party for his neighborhood at his house. So basically you bring your own scarecrow clothes. He provides the stuffing. He's getting a bunch of hay or straw. And they're going to do a neighborhood scarecrow making party. And then he said that this becomes a thing in their neighborhood that a bunch of scarecrows are all over the neighborhood celebrating harvest and fall and autumn. And I thought that was a really great idea because who doesn't have old clothes laying around that you could turn into a scarecrow and make it fun? Absolutely. Well, the point is, is to make it fun, right? The point is to be yourself, doing what you love to do, and being around people that you actually like, you know? That's right. And here's the thing. When you do events like this, none of what we just talked about from any of these coaching clients costs very much money. In fact, you could probably do everything mentioned for free or real close to free. So this is really effective for connecting you to multiple past clients and people in your center of influence all on one day at one event. And it is important to recognize that we're not, and we won't be in any of these examples, be telling you to plaster everyone with your business card or put your real estate sign up everywhere or somehow make this into a big commercial exploitation. That's not at all what we're suggesting you to do. Well, how can you then generate leads off these ideas? Make sure you're paying very close attention. So we've created this list in sequential order, and we're going to start with January. Of course, you can take these ideas in any order. Some of them are going to be seasonal specific or time of year specific. Not all of them, though. Not all of them, right. And we're going to sprinkle in lots of ideas and other types of concepts. Actually, something just popped in my head. So if you, for example, were in a market where there, say, are occasionally hurricanes or there's other types of weather issues in where Julie and I are originally from in Ohio, there'd be a lot of snow, just things of that nature. You can also do things that are going to be timely for those weather events. And I remember very clearly we had a coaching client that was in, I think it was Big Bear, California. And this was years and years ago. But the area was essentially being plagued with fires. And as a result, the whole community was under threat of fire, so much so that they closed the road going to Big Bear. Now you could choose to leave or stay, and he chose to stay. And fortunately, the fires didn't really affect most of the community. But what he was able to do is communicate out of the fire zone, a .k .a. his hometown, and let everyone know, his neighbors. He was doing little press releases, just letting everyone know that the community was fine. And then going to the extent of going by people's houses and taking pictures. Now that, after what happened was within a short, maybe a year or less, he became the number one listing agent in that entire community, because people were so grateful for the service he provided. And that's really ultimately where all these types of feelings and all these types of events lead to, is people seeing that you are a person of contribution, that you're here to help other people. And no other better way than to start out with a January Happy New Year's party, Julie. That's right. So in January, for example, a Happy New Year's party or a how to winterize your home video message. Before we do this, I just want to make a quick message, I had a note up here. There are several categories of events. Events that you create, okay, then event that you create and promote and manage yourself. You can have events that you sponsor, which are created by somebody else, and then smaller get -togethers with select groups from your list. So all of these things can be small, medium, or large. But what matters is that you are there physically actually participating. That's what matters most. You're not going to hire a VA to do your center of influence event. Well, what agents are going to do, tragically, is they're going to... And we made this mistake when we sold real estate, and we would sponsor the local baseball teams and whatever. We never got any business from it. They always send us a nice picture. We pay for their... At the end of the season, them going to get... But there was never a single referral. Had we actually gone there... We should have gone and then it would have worked. We would have, yeah. Or I'm thinking... Good point. Or people that sponsor events and they put their logo up on some sort of big banner announcing something or another. You're not going to get any business from that. You're only going to get business from sponsoring things when you go there actually and really participate. Let people get to know you as a human, and they're going to want to do business with you. That's right. So good points. January, your Happy New Year party, how to winterize your home. If you're having a blizzard where you live, make a video about preparedness, emergency systems, where to get the best snowblower. You could have an event about that and have vendors before there was something happening. And in fact, you reminded me of a podcast you were talking about our client in Big Bear.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from The Cutting Edge of Evangelism
"I don't know how much all of you know about the Jewish faith today, but I suspect you know quite a bit. And I suspect everyone here this morning knows that someone's Jewish heritage is passed down through the mother's side. That in considering your Jewishness, it comes from your mother, meaning of course that if your father is not Jewish, but your mother is, by Jewish law, you are Jewish. However, if your father is Jewish and your mother is not, you are not, under Jewish law, Jewish. And that is how it stands today. So when I was studying for our passage in Acts for today, Acts 16 one through five, I was struck by an inconsistency in just exactly who was considered Jewish in the first century AD. Here's the passage and we'll read it. I don't usually read it first, but we're going to read it first. Paul came also to Derba and to Lystra. A disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of all the Jews who were in these places. For they all knew that his father was a Greek. As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and they increased numbers daily. And if I have trouble reading here, this wasn't because of small print. I bought a new printer. My printer is double printing pages. I'm getting a new one on Friday, Aaron doesn't know that yet, but it's on its way. I can hardly read what's printed here. So forgive me if I'm slow on some of these. The rest, however, I hand wrote and that'll make it even harder to read. So what struck me here was that Timothy was the son of a Jewish mother and a Greek father. So under Jewish law, Timothy was Jewish, right? Jewish mother, Gentile father, you're Jewish. Jewish father, Gentile mother, you're not Jewish. So Timothy is Jewish. Why then did Paul find it necessary to circumcise Timothy because of all the Jews in the area who knew his father was Greek? But more importantly, if Timothy's mother was Jewish, why wasn't he already circumcised? What's going on here? Well, at the time of Acts 16, Jewishness was passed down through the father. It was not passed down through the mother. We were reading today in the Old Testament. Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. You notice who they're referencing here? They're referencing the fathers. Jewishness back then, the Levi priests, the priests of the temple were to be sons of Levi. This is how Jewishness was passed down in these days. It was passed down through the father's line. It was what is called a patrilineal society, meaning the line came down from the potter, the father. The opposite of that, because I'm going to be using these terms, is a matrilineal society. That is one that comes down through the mother. That everything was ordained by your potter, who was your father. That's what was important. It was not matrilineal based on your mother. So when did the change occur? And I think you'll all be with me on this. Okay, when did this change occur? I want you to know and what I say is not suspect. It's actually true. I could not find this in any Christian writings. I couldn't find it in commentaries. So what do I do? I go to the Jewish sources on the internet, the respected Chabad .org. My Jewish learning is good. There's a few others. The only place I could find this referenced and I found it universally referenced in Jewish sources is that between 10 AD and 70 AD, this change came in and was institutionalized. Now, if you've been here with me for these teachings, an awful lot of things changed between 10 AD and 70 AD. And I know you know the answer to this, but what happened in 10 AD to 70 AD? Well, let's see. Jesus was 13 years old. What happened in the temple when Jesus was 13 years old? Well, that's right. He appeared there and studied with the teachers when his parents didn't know he was there and left him there. We suspect that who he spoke to was Gamaliel, Simeon, and my old friend who I'll never forget, their grandfather Hillel. Okay, so in 10 AD, Jesus was beginning his study. Then, you know, we get to 30 AD. We're into Jesus' ministry. Up comes his crucifixion and resurrection. The church starts. The church age is from 35 to 70 AD. The church age is still going on, mind you. But the beginning of the church, 35 to 70 AD, and then comes the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. And they are universal in Jewish circles to say that this change occurred specifically between 10 AD and 70 AD. The change was made in the writings of our old friend, the Mishnah. It was written down there that it was now determined that the Jewishness was to go through the mother. And it strikes me that just as the Old Testament was the pre -first century scriptures for Israel and the New Testament in the first century, in the post -first century, words from God concerning his church. The Old Testament was pre -first century. The New Testament was post -first century. The Old Testament was concerning the nation of Israel and their relationship to God. The New Testament is how to understand the Old Testament and to see the ushering in of the church age. And where the New Testament is the continuation and explanation of the Old Testament, the Mishnah in many ways is not the continuation of the Talmud, but it changes almost every significant rule of Judaism laid down in the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud. And the other major difference between the scriptures and the Talmud, of course, is that the scriptures are the word of God. And the Talmud was written by men as a commentary and as additional laws for the Jews. So last week, we saw that a sharp division arose between Paul and Barnabas on whether to take John Mark on the second missionary outreach the two men had planned. Barnabas was just as adamant that John Mark be included. This impasse led to the decision for the two great missionaries to go their separate ways. Barnabas taking John Mark with him to Cyprus, as we saw, and Paul traveling with Silas. We ended at verse 41 of chapter 15, which read, he, that is Paul, went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. A chapter, verse 1a of chapter 16, which we come to today says, Paul came to Derbe and Lystra. Okay, that's verse 1a. When Paul told Barnabas, he wanted to visit the churches that were started in the wake of their first missionary trip, my somewhat orderly mind thought we would sail to Perga and then travel to Sidi and Antioch and then down to Iconium and then go on to Lystra and Derbe. But that is not what Paul did. Paul went in reverse order. And why did he decide to go in reverse order? Scripture doesn't say, and I suspect Paul didn't know why he was going in reverse order. But instead of sailing, Paul and Silas instead headed north by land. Now they had to cross a major mountain range and crossing it brought them down to Tarsus. Now, you might recall the city Tarsus. There is somebody we know that was called Saul of Tarsus, you know, who is now the Apostle Paul. So he started by heading back just as Barnabas had gone to Cyprus, his home country. The second trip, for reasons we don't know, perhaps he had family he wanted to see. We don't know why he went to Tarsus first. We just know he had to go to Tarsus because it was the only way to get to where he was going by the route he took. And nothing is told of his stay in Tarsus if indeed he stayed there at all. We don't know that he didn't just pass right through because scripture does not tell us and neither does history, secular history. Traveling on from Tarsus, the party had to cross another mountain range. Directly north of Tarsus. And so they approached, then approached Derbe from the south. Verse 41b says they came to Derbe and to Lystra Verse 1b says a disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer but his father was a Greek. So his mother was Eunice and we know this from 2 Timothy. His grandmother was named Lois. They figure prominently in letters of Paul to Timothy remembering of course that my rule of thumb is it's really good to be named in the Bible if you're not. Ananias and Sapphira and a few others. Lois and Eunice were highly thought of Christians in the early church. Now for Eunice to marry a Greek Gentile at the time was to break Jewish law. This was not allowed and people have wondered why as a Jewish believer she was allowed to do this. Well we know from Paul's first trip to Derbe and Lystra that these towns had a very small Jewish community with little influence in that region. And it is surmised for this reason that there were few suitable Jewish men that she was allowed to marry outside Judaism. While the ESV translation says that Timothy's father was a Greek, a more accurate reading would be that his father had been Greek implying that his father was dead. The past tense used in Greek showed that he was no longer alive. Timothy, second Timothy 1 .5 tells of Eunice's sincere Jewish faith. There Paul writes to Timothy I am reminded of your, Timothy's, sincere faith a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now I am sure dwells in you as well. And second Timothy 3 .15 speaks of Timothy's early instruction in Hebrew scriptures. Eunice, though married to a Gentile with a son therefore seen as a Gentile also chose to raise him as Jewish and take him to have him instructed in the scriptures. Indeed it was the duty of a Jewish parent married to a Gentile. Note that I just said parent. It didn't matter if it was a Jewish woman married to a Gentile man or a Jewish man married to a Gentile woman. It was their duty within Judaism to instruct their children in Jewish law and this Eunice had done. Eunice now was identified also as a Christian believer and she was undoubtedly one of those converted in Lystra by Paul and Barnabas on their first visit to there the previous year which was AD 48. Verse two says he and this again is Timothy was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Now Lystra and Iconium were several days travel apart. They were not side -by -side towns but undoubtedly the Christians in the area kept in touch as best they could. Timothy was thus known by the Christians of the surrounding area to be of superior character. Verse 3a says Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him and here is the reason that God directed Paul in his ministry to take a backward approach to his previous missionary trip. If he had repeated his trip he would have met Timothy in the last city on his second missionary trip. Instead he meets Timothy at the very beginning of the trip and this will prove important knowing that Timothy was a Greek father because we're going to see later that Paul doesn't just repeat his last trip he then ventures into Europe by way of Greece on this trip and having a native speaking Greek with him is going to be of importance and remember Silas that he took with him. He took with him from the Jerusalem church. Silas was a Hebrew Christian.

A highlight from CV157: Aaron van Wirdum - Genesis Book
"Hey everybody, welcome. Welcome to Show 157. Matthew Majcic is here, joined today by Aaron Van Wierdom from Bitcoin Magazine, longtime journalist and editor, technical editor, I believe, from Bitcoin Magazine, Aaron. Welcome. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for having me. Yeah. Technical editor. I've done a bunch of things over the years. That's still my official title. Currently, I'm mostly writing my book. I do a podcast with Shorts as well, Bitcoin Explained. I was the editor -in -chief of the print magazine for a while, not right now, but I've done a bunch of stuff over the years for Bitcoin Magazine. Yeah. Surely, surely our listeners and viewers are aware. I've loved your stuff, a long time over the years, never had you on the show here. Met at a couple of conferences over the years in Riga, I think, I met you in Prague, talked a little bit more and yeah, glad to have you finally on the show. So show number 157 is what you said? Yeah. So how long have you been doing this? That must have been a while. It's a while. Yeah. But it's not as hardcore as, you know, some of the more, let's say, focused Bitcoin shows. Actually, I wanted to ask you from an early guest, and that's my first question, because I remember, you know, I like to start with these big picture questions. And I remember we interviewed Eric Voorhees a long, long time ago, mid 2017. And I asked him, actually, I don't remember what I asked him, but he was just, this was his answer. You're really building up the tension. His answer, let's say that this question was, you can explain Bitcoin in the most elegant, technical way possible, you can explain the virtues of it, you can explain sound money, you can explain inflation, you can explain programmable money, these types of things. But in his experience, and this was, you know, he had been in Bitcoin, I think, you know, already for six years or so at the time. Now it's six years later from there. In his experience, when you're talking to the lay person, we talked to the average person, you're trying to explain Bitcoin to them, really, the only thing that gets their attention at the end of the day is price. What do you think about that assessment now? Six years? Six years later? I mean, I don't even try to talk about Bitcoin to anyone anymore. That's like early days. Yeah. That's like early days type of behavior. But we're not there, man. I think we got it. That's what these shows are for. I mean, sure, we have plenty of, you know, enthusiast people that really care, but we still got to do that, don't we? Well, let's be more precise. So I will happily talk about Bitcoin to anyone if they start the conversation. If they want to know about Bitcoin, then I'll be happy to explain anything, answer any questions, whatever they want to talk about, I'm happy to do it. But I'm not going to be the one to bring it up and sort of try to sell it to people. That's year one stuff. And I learned really quickly that that's not real. And I think that's, I think there's actually something kind of profound there. Bitcoin is something you have to discover, is something you have to actually become interested in yourself. I mean, people will hear about it in one way or another, right? Especially these days, because it's just on the news or it's kind of everywhere nowadays. You'll hear about it. And then if you're the type of person that's interested in that kind of stuff, you'll actually want to learn more. You will want to know what it is and why it exists and that kind of stuff while trying to push it on people. In my experience, at least, but maybe I'm just a really bad representative in that way. But in my experience, that never really works. People don't want to hear about it if they don't want to hear about it. So I basically gave up on, you know, doing the push type of Bitcoin sell. Yeah, I was watching a panel that you did at Bitcoin Amsterdam, I think it was last year with, it was on Lightning. Sergei was there. Sergei Kotler. He's been on the show a couple of times. I like him a lot. I like his approach. I like what they're doing at Bitrefill. And he said, you know, you have the masses that we want to use Bitcoin and even the masses that are using Bitcoin right now, but they don't love Bitcoin, right? They don't think about its features like we think about it. They don't think about its potential like we think about it. They're just using it to, you know, in the early days, better to buy drugs or now it's just to buy gift cards on Bitrefill, which is his, of course, experience and he's well versed in that.

Good morning, and you'll be very happy to know that I spun up a node last night and I've got how much of the I've got 73 percent of the time chain downloaded. Ooh, nice, 73 percent. So what is that, like five days left? I just I just spun it up last night. Yeah, you got a little time to go. Does it slow down eventually? Well, you got to think about it. I mean, like in the beginning, those blocks go by pretty fast. It's like time travel a little bit when you when you do your IBD, you get to see all those blocks coming back in and you go by the years and you start to see some of these years are going to take a little longer, especially as you get closer to the finish line there to today's blocks, you know. Why why is that? We're using it more, man. So there's just there's just more data in the blocks, is that. Yeah, like these last blocks have been pretty full, right? Like you get we had a whole era of blocks being like, you know, packed even in this last year. So I mean, you're going to see some of those are going to take forever. That last little ninety nine percent to one to one hundred. That's fun, though, if nobody's ever pulled the IBD, I mean, you should. This this thing that you're going through right now is a it's another piece that every Bitcoin or should be, you know, should have under their belt. But IBD. Initial block download. So what's like the move going forward, it's kind of it almost sounds to me like in a sense like the block size war is a good thing we kept it low, but seems like people are going to have to start getting nodes sooner rather than later, as it takes longer and longer to set one up. Yeah, I mean, this is why it's important to keep small blocks, you know, I mean, I still don't see this as a huge I mean, obviously I'm in the West, I have some pretty fast Internet, whatever. But, you know, I mean, you want to keep it as small as possible. I would go for smaller blocks, but then what we currently have, but. I mean, it does take a while, I mean, this is the whole point. Download the whole history. But, you know, once you get it, then then you're good, you know, I mean, you you can turn your note off whenever you want to spend, you can or validate something, you can turn it back on, you can download what you missed. I mean, that's the whole point of it. You can join the network at will. You can leave the network at will. Good morning, everyone. How are you guys? Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. What's up, Wicked? What's up, Mitchell, Terrence, Peter? And how are you guys doing? Doing good, good morning. Kind of catching up on some morning readings. You guys see this, like Coinbase took a minority stake in Circle, the stablecoin for everyone who doesn't know. I don't know if anyone had thoughts around that, but that's an interesting piece of news, in my opinion. I think Coinbase has like had some of these tweets over the last year or so, kind of slyly talking shit about Tether while talking about the merits of stability around USDC. And now to see them take a minority stake in it, it all kind of makes some sense. Do we think that Circle has a significant position in Coinbase as well? Well, I know this, I know Coinbase, their revenues, a large concentrated portion of their revenues over the last year or even more has come from interest on their USDC. They even note that as a risk factor in their SEC filings because of how concentrated their revenues are because of that. And so I know that USDC is an important part of Coinbase's business, especially during the bear market with trading volumes so far down. And it's just interesting because the Fed's policies of jacking interest rates has what kept Circle so profitable. So it's like, yeah, and Tether, right? So the Fed jacking interest rates has actually helped these stablecoins, these private banks are carrying so much yield on their T -bills and all the things that they back their stablecoins with. And so interesting dynamics, you know, just to have a major exchange now own part of USDC. It's almost like, you know that there's a lot of surveillance going on with Coinbase as well. And it's a step away from a from a CBDC. It's not state backed, but it has all of the problems of surveillance in a digital dollar, except it's just a privately issued and controlled by a private company. Probably look, it's probably going to look similar to the PayPal one that just recently was announced. But now we have Coinbase involved. So I think it's interesting news. Is issued that on Ethereum? Is that a new RC -20? Yeah, well, their plan, yeah, yeah, I believe so. And then part of their plan was to expand USDC to like six new blockchains. But, you know, I don't know if you guys have followed like the stablecoins, but USDT, like Tether, has any market share rapidly and USDC has been dropping. It's been a lot of people have been speculating why that is really since the banking crisis. I don't know if you guys remember when Silicon Bank went down, Silicon Valley Bank, Circle came under a lot of pressure because they held a lot of their reserves there. And the peg broke and there was a lot of worry around them. And ever since then, they've really lost market share. So I don't know if it's worries around, you know, US regulations and USDC where people are flooding to Tether. There's a lot of speculation around Binance kind of moving their stablecoins into Tether. And so that could be part of the factors why Tether is going up. You know, Tether is really popular in Asia, whereas USDC is popular in the USA. So perhaps, you know, Asian markets are just loving Tether. There's theories that people are dumping Tether or dumping USDC for other options in the U .S. to gain higher yields, like money market funds, whereas people who hold Tether abroad, because it's mostly in Asia, don't have access to those investment vehicles as easily. So they're not redeeming their Tether like the USDC folks are redeeming them to get these other yield. But now we have Coinbase investing in USDC. And so these stablecoins, I've always thought the stablecoins are where a lot of the regulations headed and where it's concentrated around. And this is a move by Coinbase. And so we'll see what happens. Were any of the stablecoins named in the SEC lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance? No, not for my knowledge. They don't look like securities as much. Yeah, they don't look like securities as much because nobody's buying stablecoins, expecting a stablecoin to go from a dollar per USDC to a dollar, you know, 50 or something. So there's no expectation of profit, really, or not a significant one. So they don't look like securities as much as all these other shitcoins. What about the yields, Aaron? The yields are going to USDC. So the reason USDC and Tether are such great businesses is because you, when you buy this, right, as a customer or a Tether holder or USDC holder, you're giving them an interest free loan. Then, like Sam said, they go and take it and buy US Treasuries and in a higher rate environment, they're just making bank. The problem is what they're doing looks like they're either doing a bond, taking a like a bank deposit, like a checking account deposit where they pay no interest and they make interest on it, or doing a loan or a money market fund. These are financial products. You can't go around selling financial products to US retail and not be regulated or super lightly regulated. That's why I think in this case, with respect to crypto, with respect to Tether, USDC, the banks and Wall Street are frenemies with Bitcoiners and we're on the same side for now. It's a marriage of convenience sort of where everybody's against this stuff, meaning like Bitcoiners and Wall Street are against it because Wall Street's like, what the fuck? This is a regulated product. Like this, we get to make these interest free loans, right? We get these interest free loans from bank depositors and whatever, not the Tether and USDC boys. Tether's just better at evading regulation and shutdown than USDC is more useful. It seems to be more sense resistant, seems to be more confiscation resistant than USDC. USDC is just much more centralized and easier to shut down. That's what I think.

"We're back with the rest of Leah rose's conversation with Aaron dessner. How did you first find music and how did you first find that you could articulate your feelings through music? Yeah, so my dad was a really amazing drummer and he had this incredible teacher in Queens in the early 6 late 50s, early 60s, and then he played a lot of serious jazz in the 60s in New York and then he moved Cincinnati and my mom and him got married and he kind of had to get a real job quote unquote real job to support us and we found his drums in the closet when we were, I think we were 6 years old. My brother and I in this we found it in the furnace room and kind of like pulled them out and he came home from work and we were like, what are these? And I remember he was excited. He kind of was smiled and he set them up in the basement and he sat down to play and it was like, holy shit. It was amazing. It was amazing. And we had no idea. Style, like what style drummer was he? Like old school, he held the drum sticks with old grip and incredible rudiments and just really, really excellent drummer. And then we just immediately I started taking drum lessons and gradually we started playing guitar and bass and it was early that I started to feel that I could became very naturally to us and we became prolific technically quickly fairly quickly and started to just I remember just writing stuff from the very beginning like when we were 11, 12, 13 years old and just in my brother started studying classical guitar, we just got really into it and it's natural, the competitiveness of twin brothers who we shared a room until we were 18 and we're literally staring at each other and we just egged each other on.

"You know, even though she's like when I see her in a quiet setting and she's like making dinner or something and the person that has to be in the spotlight is the same person as I learn a lot from that. It's just giving me faith and people and the way she is kind and appreciative of all of her success and frankly having worked with her. Even though she's has achieved so much, it's not that surprising to me because I see how hard she works and how talented she is. So in that sense, I do, I find that really harmonious or something. But I know what you mean, it's kind of like, it's a different feeling. And also I think that she's smart the way that she evolves. And even like the music we made for midnight, I think the best song we've ever written, it's called would have could have should have. How did that song come together? I mean, the truth is that song, we wrote that song together and recorded it. While we were together in LA for the folklore Grammys. So that it goes back that far. And then the same with high infidelity. Those songs we actually recorded in her house, vocals he recorded them then and I just kept making music and it was kind of like after we had made folklore and ever more I started to have ideas which I would share and eventually she obviously made most of midnights with Jack and it became something different, but I infidelity and what it could have should have and the great war and we made hits different with Jack and Taylor and I also, and there was great to be a part of that record in that way. It was really special. Are you working on new music now? I'm probably not at liberty to say, but I think yeah, I thought you would say that.

"aaron g" Discussed on Broken Record
"Aaron dessner and Leah rose. I saw pictures of you at the Grammys this year like sitting sort of like at Taylor's table or near her and I was just wondering, what was that like for you being in that scene? Is it fun? Is it a fun night? I mean, Taylor is amazing. She's a good we've become really close friends and she couldn't be more lovely and fun and just she's legitimately just a really lovely hyper intelligent down to earth person. So I love hanging out with her and even in that I think those situations it's so unnatural for me to be have a camera in my face or be in the spotlight like that or have to look like I'm having a good time all the time but genuinely hanging out with her and with Jack antonoff and Margaret qualley, we're sitting with us and it was just fun. So I was able to relax and have fun and she's really it's intense for her also I would imagine because there's always attention on her because of who she is, but she manages to have a good time and to help people around her have a good time. So I was lucky in that sense and I've even because we went to the pandemic Grammys altogether for folklore when we won. So I was thankful for that because I sort of, this was quite different. It was much more like, wow. This was more in a weird way. This was more fun. Uses more energy. The folklore when it was almost like easier though because there was just no you just went and sat at a tiny little table and there was no audience. It was a bizarre scene. Yeah. I was looking at that like, wow, this is such a strange Grammys. Totally. But it is, I think it's been really fun to be around that as I've been to the Grammys a few times.

"In total darkness that's on sleep obese there's this big I play this big guitar solo that I knew he loved but then he didn't like this layer of percussion I really loved so I was like fine we can turn off the percussion but I'm also gonna turn off the guitar solo because I can't live with the guitar so if it doesn't have the support of the progression and he's like no no you can't turn up the guitar so that was yeah that was back when we were more childish, but this time he met Matt had gone through a hard time with like writers bug and just some the pandemic was a hard period for him and he came out of it and really gradually just started to write and write and write and towards the end they just kept being more and more songs that we were finishing. So what we thought was the record kept evolving and eventually what it became is quite different from the first several months we were working on it like by last spring it had kind of morphed into something else and he called me when we were done mixing and he said you know we had mixed almost two records worth of material and he said look I think it's these 11 songs and for the first time ever I just was so relieved and happy and confident to hear his vision and to feel how to feel how inspired he was and the clarity in his mind and I just embraced it and then I called my brother 'cause he would be the next most difficult. It's like all these people you have to convince and I think Bryce would have preferred that he and I had had a conversation before that conversation with Matt because there's some really interesting amazing songs that aren't on it or that are more complex musically or whatever it is but and so I had to

"aaron g" Discussed on Broken Record
"Yeah, for sure. At some point, I ended up in this wildly prolific time with Taylor collaborating remotely and we made folklore and then we made ever more all in the same year. And at the same time, then I finished a big second bigger machine record and made a ton of music with all sorts of people. But at some point, I started to have the realization that I would be making music and I'd be like, wait, this is a national song. So how do you know when it's a national song? It's because you can feel the engine of the band in your hands or in your heart. You start to make something because if I pick up an instrument or sit down on instrument, it's very natural for me that it almost immediately I start generating. It's just the way I think it comes from when I was a kid, like how I relate to music. It's not like it's almost physical and visceral. It's an emotional process where I'm Tapping into a current within myself but the way it comes out on instruments is kind of feels locomotive or meditative or sort of oftentimes it's this sort of circular patterns and behaviors. There's certain ways of playing or feeling where I can feel how the others might bounce off of it or like, oh, I could hear my brother harmonizing what I'm playing or I could hear Brian like his no one can drum like him and when he really locks into something it becomes so much more or the way Matt and they even sometimes you start to hear your bandmates because it's like this family feeling so that started to come back at some point in a very strong way so I started to have a folder of ideas that I felt were really strong and then my brother did too and it just started the well started to fill and eventually it was overflowing. But this is a good well over a year or a year and a half after we had said goodbye not knowing it was goodbye. I think it was the last show is in Lisbon Portugal and in December 2019 and it was like in this beautiful and the Campo petno. I think it was Campo became you are in the coliseum 15,000 people and they were all it was just this amazing show and I remember thinking if this is the last national show this would be a good way to end it. And then it seemed like it was the end of it. Both because of the pandemic but also because of just where we all were for a while. Yeah. So it was a nice feeling when the well. Suddenly it was full and I remember just sharing music with Matt finally in being like, I don't know, there might be things in here. So when you're writing music for the national, when you sit down and if you're writing on guitar or you're writing on piano or whatever it is, whatever the instrument is, do you hear phantom parts from other members in the band? Yeah, for sure. I think after so many years of working together, we're very aware of each other. I mean, because Bryce and Brian and I have played together since we were in middle school and Bryce and I since we were tiny, but I naturally know when there's a pocket that Brian can exploit, you know? Or can we joke? Is the horse? Is the horse you're going to run? Sort of like you pull him out of the barn and because it is like that like when he hooks into something, it's kind of a, it's just a feeling.

"But actually, it was never that bad, really. I think we just also, it's like part of the identity of the band was like this dysfunctional family or something, but over many, many years of touring. I mean, because we sort of built this band brick by brick from it started in 1999 and 2001, we started touring and we didn't really ever stop for more than a month or two. All those years, you know? And starting with in 2005 alligator came out and then it was boxer and then it was high violet, trouble find me sleep obese, easy to find. And all of his records, I don't really think we made a bad record, and I think we just kept making better records or they're all, they're kind of siblings, these records, and it did take a lot out of us at the same time we were touring and I just think at some point during easy time we woke up and everyone was like moving in the opposite direction from each other. But not out of any real spite. It was a combination of maybe needing space from the band and each other. But also, we just don't want to make anything that doesn't feel really inspired. So I think at some point it was just started to feel when I see the wheels are coming off. It was just that feeling of your running on fumes and maybe the well has gone dry a little bit and the day that easy to find came out Justin Vernon and bunny bear Justin Vernon had called me because I've been friends for a really long time and had gone so close and obviously collaborated on many things, including big red machine and we've been making all this big red machine music that was exciting, but he was scheduling this big European tour. It was this arena chair that was supposed to be in the fall of 20 20, I think. And he called me the day easy to find game and he said, would you open my tour by yourself? He said, would you open my tour? And I was like, well, what do you mean? And he's like, well, I want you to open it just by yourself. And I was like, well, I've never actually played any. I've never played any music by myself in front of people, not even like an open mic, you know? That he sort of said, but I know I've seen I've seen what you do, and I know what you do, and I think it'd be really interesting. What a beautiful compliment. I mean, that's just so incredible that he would believe in you at that level. Was that did that feel really motivating for you? It was a challenge. I mean, he's a really lovely person intuitive kind of friend. And he, I think he was interested in what it would do creatively for me. And so, and it wasn't in opposition to anything, not definitely not in opposition to the national. It was just like, do it. And I was like, okay, I'll do it. And so from that point, I started to write a lot of music just thinking about how would I do that? How would I stand in the Wembley arena by myself? And play for 15,000 people. How would I do that? It was a good challenge. And so I started that really started this during the easy to find here. I was making all this stuff so that year when we were touring for that record in the backstages and everywhere I was writing all this music that I took to

"Today's episode, broken record producer Leah rose talks to Aaron dessner about how an invitation to open an arena tour for Bon Iver led to him writing the music that he would eventually share with Taylor Swift. Aaron also talks about how the national almost came to a breaking point after a grueling tour schedule, and he opens up about his battle with depression as a teenager and how his twin brother Bryce carried him through. This is broken record. Liner notes for the digital age. I'm Justin Richmond. Here's Leah rose with Aaron dessner. I want to ask you about all your solo work and you have been so prolific as a producer as a songwriter as a composer. But let's start by talking about the new national album. So tell me the story of the first two pages of Frankenstein. Well, yeah, so the first two pages of Frankenstein is the nationals 9th record. It's a nice feeling to have made a record that I think is the best thing we've made, even though I know artists always say that, but in this case, I really do feel that it's somehow is a distillation of everything we've done or it reminds me of some of our earliest work and also some of the most developed and somehow mature and evolved at the same time. So, but the story of it, I guess, by the time we release easy to find, which is the last record, which is a collaboration with Mike Mills, this filmmaker and featured a number of female vocalists that were due at sort of Matt and telling the story of a woman's life from birth to death. It was the most conceptual record we'd ever made. We were sort of dissolving the identity of the national somehow or playing around with it.

"Sanders. Yeah, Laura Carolina made a surprising move miles Sanders winds up there. Remember during the season the Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey will here is a Christian McCaffrey like replacement. They take the running back off the NFC champions. He signs a four year deal with $25 million. They lock them in there, longer term deal than most running backs getting free agency. David Montgomery gets a nice deal in Detroit, he essentially replaces Jamal Williams, leaves the Chicago Bears, goes to a division rival, and we know that the lions already have Deandre swift. Now they'll match swift with David Montgomery and that should make that offense fairly dynamic. Speaking of which, Jamal Williams finds himself going to New Orleans on a three year $12 million deal. Let's keep in mind that Alvin Kamara could be facing discipline. Yes. You're still coming season. And so the saints could be leaning even more heavily on Jamal Williams, just as the Lions did, this past season. And yesterday at this time, the Dallas Cowboys made it official releasing Ezekiel Elliott after 7 highly productive seasons in Dallas, Zeke's now a free agent looking for a new home Dallas still would like to bring him back. We'll see what the open market produces for Zeke and whether or not it makes sense for him to return to Dallas, certainly some teams that could use them, but I think Jerry Jones and the cowboys still would like to bring back Zeke if that were at all possible. Oh, interesting. So we'll get to those teams that could use him, but let's talk about the cowboys. They've decided obviously to at least move forward with Tony Pollard as their lead back. It's not hard to see why as you see the numbers. Ezekiel Elliott averaged only 3.9 yards per touch last season, which was the worst mark in the NFL among 50 qualified running backs. On the other hand, Pollard averaged nearly 6 yards per touch, which ranked forth worth remembering that Pollard's coming off the injured leg, but key, where do you think would be the best fit for Zeke? Well, Adam mentioned the Dallas Cowboys, which is obviously a fit if he goes back there. But I think you can start to look at it. You look at buffalo, right? Buffalo wants to try and run the football outside of Josh Allen. I think when you look at Zeke, it wasn't necessarily about his performances. It was about the money. He did have 12 Russian touchdowns on the ground. He averaged on the ground about 3.9 yards in his career. He's averaged over four yards of carry. So he is a gold line red zone nightmare for defenses in Buffalo needs that help the Cincinnati Bengals can use him as well in Adam did mention the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, when you think about Zika, so much of it to keys point goes back to the money that he made, the money that he was paid. And a lot of people looked at the production and compared it to that money and that's sort of a cautionary tale Mina. So what should the next move for the cowboys be when it comes to the running back position? They need to draft a running back. I've seen them linked with Dijon Robinson. You know I love that might be a little bit rich given some positional need, but there's a lot of really great running backs in this draft. And I think they need to do so. Frankly, to learn from the mistakes of Ezekiel Elliott contract, Tony Pollard, you guys have heard me beat the drone for him forever is fantastic. They tagged him. Perhaps they can get a more reasonable deal done. We're going to talk about miles Sanders and Carolina that I would classify as reasonable. But even bringing Pollard back, you still want a younger running back to compliment him and potentially compete with him in your room. I think going with two veterans would be a mistake for this team. That's a position where they should seek to get younger while breeding Tony Pollard back into the fold this year. And that's the thing about Ezekiel Elliott. He makes Tony Pollard better. He compliments him. They need him not only for the production that he brings, but for the way he helps preserve Tony Pollard and makes him a better back. So me and his exact right, they're going to have to replace that whether it is with Zeke, a back in the draft, back in free agency. It's a soft free agent running back market, perhaps it's a running back out there who hasn't found the type of deal that he wants and would like to go play for Dallas on a cheap deal on a one year deal to be productive next to Tony Pollard and hit free agency again a year from now. Gonna be fascinating to see how bijan Robinson fits into this conversation. It feels like a very Cherry Jones thing to potentially do. They have that 27th pick, which Mina mentioned could be a little rich for running back, but these young Robinson is different. I don't think he'll lash the 27. I don't either. I mean, that's the thing. That's the hard part is he may not still be there. Somebody else will grab him up. He is in an incredible fantastic player. Let's head to Carolina where the Panthers have had a busy off season so far, which began last week when they acquired the first overall pick in the draft from the bears. Yesterday, Carolina agreed to terms with as Adam mentioned, former eagles running back miles Sanders, who was ranked 5th in the NFL and rushing yards last season, and the Panthers also added safety von bell to their talented young defense. Nina, what do you think about the moves that the Panthers have made this off season? Yeah. Well, starting with mild Sanders, I absolutely love this for him. Because we saw last year after the Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey, how productive they're rushing attack continued to be in large part because this offensive line in Carolina has improved so much. It's a very good run blocking group now. So I think for Sanders, who's obviously incredibly productive in Philadelphia to join this team, I expect him to continue that production there. And you know, this is Laura, they're kind of making moves around the margins, bringing in hate in her, stuff like the bond bell signing as well. But we all know that when they do draft a quarterback at number one, they still need to give that quarterback help. This wide receiver group is unfinished. I'm not really gonna make any judgments right now because there's still so much time left in free agency with trades, but that is a group that needs to be augmented to help this young quarterback that they graft. Yeah, in my own Sanders is a good pickup for the Carolina Panthers. You know, 1300 yards on the ground, 11 touchdowns a year ago. We saw what he was able to do in Philadelphia, but when you talk about Frank Reich and Jim Caldwell, who likes to run the football. They're going to be running this offense. They're going to be doing some things and you know you need a running game if you select a young quarterback because you're not asking him to all of a sudden become John Elway with his arm. You just want him to learn how to play professional football. You ease the pain by having a strong running game. So I think it's a I think it's a good signing for him. It's not one that'll just be like, oh my God, wow, they picked up mile Sanders and getting ready to run away with the NFC. Well, they needed offensive playmakers. I mean, it's right. They do need more wide receiving help. But this off season is going to be defined by what this team does with the number one overall pick. They made the bold move last week to trade up to get to number one and now they'll shift through the quarterback options. And I think going into the process of evaluating the quarterbacks, I think that Bryce young is the favorite to become the number one overall pick and they will be really. Yeah, let's live there for just a second if we can because some people have thought maybe Anthony Richardson climbed into that conversation after the combine. BJ struck. CJ Stroud, especially with that offensive line. I think going into the process, I think, let me say it this way. I think Bryce young is to the Panthers what Mac Jones was to the forty-niners when they traded up. They traded up with the idea that they really liked Mac Jones and then they went to the process and wound up on Trey Lance. I think in this particular case, this team moved up with the idea that Bryce young was a guy that they loved. They also really like CJ Stroud. He's definitely got support in the organization and we'll see what transpires during the course of evaluations. But I think at the beginning of the process, it starts out with Bryce young is the favorite. Okay, that's fascinating in the analogy that you use there, of course, the moving up of the forty-niners did at that time, of course, we all thought it was for Mac Jones that seemingly was what they thought too. It's also worth noting Mina that this happened, this trade up happened after they had met with the quarterbacks at the combine, so they're familiar with them as human beings is certainly something to consider. What do you think about what Adam just said, Bryce young being the favorite to be that book by the Panthers?

"Wanted to have play quarterback. We've heard the packers when they've spoken publicly rave about Jordan love's abilities. And they have to make a decision on him this spring about whether or not to pick up that 5th year option, which I think at this point in time is a formality with everything going on with Aaron Rodgers. I think they're going to pick it up and they're going to give them a chance. And let's keep in mind. This has really been a historic run in Green Bay. You've got two legendary Hall of Fame quarterbacks for about three straight decades leading this team to two Super Bowl titles and we're going to go from 5 to Rogers and now it's going to be Jordan loves turn and rob damsky was on get up this morning and he said that the packers have told him that they're looking for a quarterback who's not so high maintenance. So they're going to get a chance now to go look at a quarterback. That's lower maintenance in their minds than our Rogers and we'll see how that works out. Yeah, I mean, as far as we know, here's the thing, we don't know much about Jordan love and his little maintenance right now. We do. Right, exactly. Which at this point might be one of the main pieces. How confident are you in Jordan love in this offense? Once Rogers does move on. I'm extremely confident. I think when you are pushed into a starting row and you have the ability, look. Early on in his career, we all question why would they draft him, but they obviously saw something. They saw enough to feel, hey, we need a quarterback because when Aaron Rodgers decides to move on, we need a guy that can step in. Over time, he's learned how to play the position at a professional level in the small sample size of the amount of games that he's been in. I looked at it and I said to myself, he's fine. He'll be fine with time. He'll be fine. And even some of the players that I know on Green Bay's offensive side of the ball, they said the same thing. They're like, we good, man. We'll be okay because they're not asking him to be Aaron Rodgers. They're not asking him to throw for 50 touchdowns. They would take that. They're not asking him to throw for 5000 yards. They would take that, though, in some W's as well. Yeah, he might be low maintenance, but he still needs help as a young quarterback. And along those lines, if I'm Green Bay, and I'm thinking ahead to next year, talked about, you know, the offensive line still being a position of strength for them, run game is very good. I really like what you saw last year out of Christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs, a position that I would really consider targeting in the draft 15 might be a little bit rich, but I really love the tight end out of Notre-Dame Michael Mayer and thinking about his fit on this offense with Jordan love. It's an offense that I expect to be pretty run heavy, a lot of play action, and mayor is just about the most traditional tight end in this draft. He is an inline blocker, but if you get nice matches, he has reliable hands. He's an underrated route runner. He's extremely pro ready and polished. And I think as a quarterback's best friend, he's the kind of guy you could draft and insert into the lineup immediately, so I would love that pick for Jordan love. You know what's interesting here, Laura? Two quarterbacks. Each have something to prove to the Green Bay Packers. Jordan love has got to prove that he's worth the faith that this team has shown him and Aaron Rodgers is going to approve that they're wrong for drafting Jordan love and sending him to the New York Jets whenever they get that trade worked out. It's an odd symbiotic relationship that may end up working out really well for two different teams to Nina's point about the tight ends and the help that Jordan love may need. The packers haven't drafted a wide receiver or a tight end in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2002. And that's when they selected javon walker. That's tied for the longest act of drought in the NFL. Let's see if they start doing it. Now that probably make Aaron Rodgers. Somebody knew that. Somebody would be like, come on, now they're drafted tight ends and weapons and all that. All right, NFL free agency is in full swing. There's a lot to discuss. Let's start in Cincinnati, Adam, what more can you tell us? Well, Shinsuke Bengals last night reached agreement with Orlando Brown. He went from our studio into a long-term agreement with the Cincinnati Bengals, gets the deal done with them. You see the numbers involved, $64 million for the right tackle. When he wants to play left tackle, we'll see how that works. Miles Sanders reaches a four year $25 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, leaves Philadelphia, the Panthers feel like they got one of the steals of free agency there, a good move for them to pick up a running back like that. That should help out that outfit. They needed somebody to take the place of Christian McCaffrey. Darius slay, who the eagles said they planned to release yesterday, they did not release yesterday. Not only did they not release him, but now they're planning to keep him and try to work out the contract. We'll see how that works out, but that was quite a turn in 24 hours where they went from being open to trading them to wanting to keep them an earlier today. The former jets wide receiver found a new home in Miami. His third AFC east team during his NFL career started out in New England, went to the New York Jets now will be in Miami. He'll be happy to be there. They're signing another player from in that division Braxton barrios becomes a new weapon for two by low and Harrison Smith and the Minnesota Vikings reworked his contract today, lowered his cap number. That means he will now stick around in Minnesota. There have been some speculation about whether or not he could be on the move, but he will be staying right there teeming with their new free agent cornerback Byron Murphy and the Vikings are happy to have both of them Manning the secondary. So much action this week, we move now to a developing story top NFL Draft prospect. Jalen Carter participated in Georgia's pro day yesterday, you see there he took part in positional drills, 9 pounds heavier than he was at the combine and he was unable to finish the workout. We'll keep an eye on that. And today, Carter pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing and was sentenced to 12 months of probation. Find $1000 and is required to do 80 hours of community service. Police alleged that Carter was racing Georgia recruiting staffer Chandler la Croix when la Croix and Georgia football player Devin willock were killed in a wreck on January 15th. A statement from his attorney noted that the state can't bring additional charges against Carter and that he entered the pleas quote in order to resolve this matter in the most efficient manner possible. We'll keep an eye on that story and much more as we're just getting started here on NFL live, keep it with us as all the free agency news. Carries on.

Within the city Perspective is inherently going to be not better and not worse just different and that is the way that i pitch every perspective i have. Is that whatever we're doing is to offer a different perspective on that which already has its own existing worth and merit and light that is being shown on it the good bad or indifferent. We're looking to change that with the work that we do. So that's the thing that i work with and to give a brief example to roll the clock back to twenty thirteen. When i first started going into the city 'cause i went to tulsa from pg moved to actually moved to the last street in baltimore city before towse and begins in the county. As i've been living in the city the entire time. I've been paying avenue no walker avenue was the last street okay. I'm han only wtn's exactly where you are on area. I live right over there. The entire undergrad. Live there and i would just york. Road is twenty nine to maryland. All the way down to the city to get into city would have around doing so for example before photographer. I spent two years driving to the city and just going to shows go into the events getting to know the people like two thousand thirteen fourteen. So it's like you know. It's dm midst jacob marley. It's you know the crown's originating class so to speak and the surrounding areas so like i got to meet these people with. They were still themselves getting the mold for their artists. There arts manship kind word about the artists should say the mold was harden. And i just wanted to get to know them i would say hey..
