"That's right, I'm 100% virtual. I do make house calls if needed, especially for people that are more invalid and can't get out, but yes, and it's all 50 states. And any doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant can operate in this fashion. And some people say that you don't even have to be an MD. You don't even have to, obviously the American Indian healers, the medicine men and the medicine women, they're not MDs. They never went to medical school. So there's a lot more flexibility. And obviously those of us that have chosen this path are very, many of us are very spiritual. I have my practice with Aranda MD Enterprises PMA set up as a faith-based organization. I pray with my patients. I believe in the healing power of God and the healing touch of God. And so just like the Native American Indians are very spiritual also with a lot of their rituals that they have. So I'm learning more and more and happy to be a healer. Because that's something. They've set up a pharmacy on the reservation that you can access and prescribe from, regular drugs like ivermectin, is that correct? Or you would just refer to as foreign sources? Yeah, no, that's not correct. And a lot of people think that. So I don't have to be American Indian. Nobody, no patient has to be American Indian and it is not on a reservation. But the pharmacy, you've got access to a pharmacy where you can prescribe. Well, God bless you, Miranda. That's just fantastic. I have a pharmacist in New York that was shipped to all 50 states. Plus I'm allowed to get ivermectin from India or anywhere else in the world that I want. I'm allowed to get anything from anywhere that I want. Well, I'd say sign me up, but I'm so burnt out on regular medical interactions and I'm working 40 to 50 hours a week on the Substack thing. I hope I'm helping some people. I've got 9,400 subscribers by now, but I think you're doing more good. And your ability to treat Lyme disease is probably pretty good too. So I think that you have a lot of takers. Lyme disease is ubiquitous. And ivermectin has helped Lyme disease quite a bit. I have some patients that have remained on it twice a day for Lyme disease. Well, we'll definitely put all this stuff in the show notes and I think you'll get some customers or patients from it. And I'm impressed by your bravery and your service and your story is unmatched. It's just phenomenal. So I'm grateful for your interview. Tell me anything else you want to tell my listeners. Well, I just want to encourage people to realize that your health is I'd say 75% in your hands. A lot of people don't realize the importance of diet, of sleep and just the basics like getting outside and having a little sunshine, talking to people that love you. They say that if you even watch somebody perform a kind act that releases serotonin and acts like an antidepressant. So I want to encourage people to think that not every problem that you have can be solved by a pill. God put us here to be around one another, to touch one another, to hug one another, to do kind deeds for one another. And we need to try to be an example of that by not reacting with our natural instincts or having great offense or being easily offended, but by processing things that we would normally do, hesitating for a moment and instead responding in a loving way. I love that Dr. Rashid Buttar, who said he was poisoned by the CDC, I'm sorry, by CNN during his interview and died. I have a sub stack on his last interview, his last long video and his last short video. He took a compound, it wasn't a magic mushroom, it wasn't marijuana, it was something else. It was a special formulation that 12 scientists around the world had gotten together to concoct. I don't know what that formula is and he didn't say what it was, but he had a supernatural experience and felt apparently that God was inside of him. A two hour video I have linked on my sub stack at the Rebel Patient. He said that God wanted to tell him two things. One, the biggest message was don't lose your free will. Don't feel like you get forced into doing anything. And the other one was there was love and fear. So every reaction that you have should be tempered with love and not fear. And that makes sense because God is love, he is light, he is truth. And if we could temper our reactions and our responses so that we respond not by giving back people what they give us or raising it up a notch, which I did all that in jail ward because that's my opinion, what it took to understand. But- I worked in jail ward for a couple months also during my- It's quite the place. The same ward, yeah. I was wondering why you mentioned that out of all your postgraduate training experiences, it must've impressed you. It was impressive, it was. We were told on day one, sitting around a big table, if anybody gets a pen and holds it to our throat, we're in a lockdown and we had to go through a 12 inch metal door with a sheriff's station based right there to get in and out of there. And we felt every bit like we were in jail as much as everybody else was. We had people trying to kick and bite and spit on us to give us HIV. We had drunks, the tank, big room full of 20 guys chained with hard, hard chains, our ankles and wrists to the bed, vomiting on themselves all night. It was crazy.I just tried to hide. I don't remember it very well. That was a long time ago. I got the short stick twice, so I had to go there twice. But you know, I learned a lot. I learned a lot and I know people. And I learned, I get along with everybody. If I don't get along with someone, it's because they have a problem with everybody else. But yeah, God gave us some survival instincts that I think got accentuated over there. Yeah, love and exercise your own free will. Don't think your healing is gonna necessarily come from one pill. And look up, look at God, ask God, look down, get on your knees, cry, fast, pray. Fasting helps COVID and long COVID too. So whenever you raise your spirituality, you decrease your body and allow it to be minimized so that your healing and your miracles can happen. So my parting shot here is we have someone who is a member of the specialty who uses the most medications. They use the medications every single day, every minute that they're working. And she's advocating less medications and natural medications instead of all those heavy drugs. So I'm tremendously grateful for your time in the interview and we'll see if we can help your presence a little bit. Thanks again. Thank you, my pleasure, God bless you.

"Yeah, as much as I have a give, send, go, honestly, Dr. Kirk Moore who gave saline injections instead of COVID vaccines and helped thousands of patients not suffer and die and get myocarditis as teenagers, he says the same thing. Like maybe three of his former patients have donated to his give, send, go, our patients. I don't know why, but they really, it takes outsiders to contribute to help the cause. But yeah, I wasn't willing to spend tens of thousands of additional dollars. I'm 62, like I said, and I've had enough. But the minute they wanted for me to produce patient charts or surrender my license, it was an easy decision because I'd rather surrender my license than provide patient charts with no complaint, no harm and no permission. And that should make everybody's feathers get ruffled. Yeah, ideally you find a lawyer that does what you want and you could have gotten someone to write, anyway, it's all water under the bridge now. It's great to retire and do something new. So tell us more about your current career and the prospects you have and what you're up to. I'm on with two different programs. One is the Crow Tribe in Native Indigenous Indian Nation as a certified tribal practitioner that allows me to be a healer in all 50 states. I maintain that and a research practice as a research investigating physician where I write my own protocols and essentially do all the COVID post vaccine. I do a little pain management. I do a little weight loss as well where I can go ahead and continue as a healer both in all 50 states. And I'll let the audience know, I'm sure you already know this, all of us physicians who were required or ended up surrendering our licenses have now restructured a healing practice through a PMA or a private membership association. It's an agreement between say me and you that is outside of government reach. It's completely private. There's no medical records that are electronic. There are no electronic prescriptions. Everything is protected by treaties that HHS has with the Indigenous Native Indians. So it's protected, it's different that way, but we also have open, it opens the door to other remedies that, like we said, were ancient remedies that the Indians, the Chinese and other people use. There are provisions to acquire remedies through these organizations. And so I think it offers a wide array of options for people to receive regular prescription medications plus natural remedies as well. And you can operate virtually.

"So the thing that I think really triggered the focus was September 30th, 2022, when bill AB 2098 was before Governor Newsom to either sign veto or kickback. And so I organized a group of 15 to 20 doctors, lawyers, activists, including then a child activist, Max Bonilla, to go and do a press conference on the steps of the Capitol building in Sacramento. It was a wonderful day, I have to say. It was very spiritual. I prayed before and after. A lot of people talked about answering to God and not to man. The government doesn't belong in the room with the patient and the doctor. This is part of the Hippocratic Oath. This is the basis of our medical freedom. And there were 20 people in the audience, PPRM, the patients and physicians for medical freedom was a group that came to that as well. Carolina Bonilla came as well and helped market it and organize it with people that were filming it and recording it, et cetera, and spreading the news. And it was something that nobody else would have done anything had it not been for us being there on that day. There was nothing else said from any group anywhere in California but us going till almost five o'clock the last day, the last time. And then of course, at the end of the day, Newsom wrote a letter and he signed it into law. And I just wanna pause for a moment. We have a clip of a video where Governor Newsom is standing behind his podium, talking about Florida, taking medical freedom away from patients in Florida, censoring what doctors can say to their patients, calling it a Salem witch hunt for doctors. And at the end of this video, Governor Newsom points his finger with the American flag in the background at his big podium with his mic there saying, if they can come after your doctor, they can come after you. He knew exactly what he was doing and this is why he's being primed to be president too, I believe, because he's just trying to get away with as much as he can counting on the apathy of the American public or they're being scared to say anything so that he can bulldoze government overreach into everyday life. So September 30th, 2022, 10 days later, I received my first request to surrender my license and it was perpetual from then on one thing or another, more complaints, more complaints, more surrender. Then this is what happened that made me tip over to go ahead and actually surrender my license. I was away out of state, two investigators went to my former office, supposedly to deliver papers. Then they went to my home. I had already sold my home, they didn't know that. They asked the realtor to provide my change of address information and she said no, she wasn't free to do that, wasn't part of her job. They could wait till the papers were filed, it would be public record. Then they came to my house, which was on the change of address and they left an envelope with just my name and address on it, not even a return, it was just handwritten, it was very unprofessional under my front mat that contained a demand for me to release the charts of three patients and inside there was three different pieces of paper, one with each name of each patient on it, saying that giving them a chance to object to me providing their medical records by notarizing this document and they were all blank. Nothing was notarized, so nobody- Without that signature, you don't have to do anything and I've been advised to that several times, they have to get the patients to sign for the chart release. But it's a double negative, it's not what you think, it's not permission to sign, it's not permission to provide the information. They were trying to make the patients notarize a document- I know, did you have a lawyer representing you? No, I don't have a lawyer representing me because- Well, you have to always have a lawyer with the medical board because they don't pay attention to, they're absolutely arbitrary and there is a process and you could have continued to fight but there is certainly an argument for quitting after all that. Well, I had a lawyer for the first, up until a certain point, I spent $40,000 and I didn't want to spend anymore. I could see that's money that just goes and goes and goes and it doesn't come back. The real parasites.

"So go into your, you know, how the whole thing developed with all your patients and how the medical board got after you. So I'll be just a little bit careful because I'm waiting for an official acceptance of my surrender. I'm not sure how long it took them to get back to you when you, you know. You don't have to worry about that. You don't have to even talk to them, just ghost them. That works. But you know, I did, they eventually sent me something which my lawyer told me to sign. And I was just going to ignore that and see what happened. But you know, I don't know what they can say if you write them a certified letter that says that you've resigned your medical license. You know, and I want you to go into the reasons why you decided to do that instead of fighting it. I was 65. So I thought, you know, if I have any brains about me and my wife had been urging me to quit for two years, she was a lot smarter than I am about it. But anyway, go ahead. Sorry to interrupt. It's funny how that is, right? The people that also love us, they see what we go through too. So I think that I had started to receive complaints just prior to COVID, maybe like one or two pain patients. As you know, they all have a pain agreement. So if I find ketamine in their urine or methamphetamine, I'm allowed to say, sorry, you fired yourself. You're out of my clinic. Well, a lot of them obviously weren't very happy about that. And I get it, but that's not my fault. You do that to yourself, but I'm just the messenger really. So I had a group of disgruntled patients. I had a disgruntled former employee who I think had access to them, especially on Facebook messaging. And she struck up a group of people to go after me with the intent to put me in prison, reportedly. So I got, then when COVID hit, of course, people couldn't go to a lab for anything. They couldn't see their cardiologists. They couldn't go for this, that, and the other things. So I would be very careful to document. I'm just doing this because nobody else will. Patient's instructed to make an appointment with our cardiologist. Month after month went by, she still didn't do it. So I said, 30 days and I'm done. And I got, it was like, I was damned if I did and damned if I didn't, if I prescribed not enough pain medication, too much pain medication, no cardiology medications out of compassion versus prescribing out of compassion without labs, if necessary, just based on what they've been on for years. Everything I did was wrong as far as a group of people were concerned. So I started getting more and more complaints. They're exact parallels with cosmetic surgery patients. Right. Most of them are crazy. A few of them drive you crazy. Go ahead, sorry to interrupt. It's frustrating. It's frustrating, like I didn't go into medicine to not follow the rules. Right, and I need to have, I need to know I'm doing the right thing. And so that was important to me. So the complaints were, and then I started prescribing ivermectin hydroxychloroquine. I wrote a letter of exemption for vaccines. I got complaints about that. So those went to the medical board as well, curiously. They held an interview with me and they just mentioned those without asking me any questions about them, but focused on, I had two binders, this thick of paper charts on one patient who complained, left my practice, came back, had another, had been with me for a long time to generate the second big chart after maybe two hours just on that one patient and five hours plus on all the complaints that they brought towards me. They find out the patient's not even mad. She became my patient again. I forgave her for her outburst and I treated her and boom, they still want to take me to task for that. I knew when I inherited the clinic, they could take my license away any day because I was over-prescribing compared to everybody else because nobody was prescribing, it's all relative.

"And you can't even get melatonin as a supplement in other countries. So I like that that has been on a lot of protocols and I emphasize it and re-emphasize it, that's one of the other medications that I started on all of my pain patients as well because none of them were sleeping and sleep is number one, diet is very high up there as well. Did you use long acting melatonin and what was the dose? Three milligram dose. I like the metagenics company. We have to be real careful about supplements in our country because just because it says there's melatonin on the bottle doesn't mean it's actually inside the supplement that's in a pill. Some of them have nothing in it, but a lot of fillers, they lie on the label. I like the metagenics brand. Their blend is called Benesum and I'll give you a link for that. My website there is margaretaranda.metagenics.com. And they put a little magnesium in there, a little calcium as well so that it helps your muscles relax and it's good for heart and muscle health so it kind of maintains all that. And they have found that that blend, even with a low dose of three milligrams is a really good blend. My patients love it so much and so do other patients apparently because every so often it's out of stock. So I recommend for people that just, if you order one bottle, you'll probably forget to go back and order it again. But if you just start off by doing the monthly shipments, you get something like 5% off and then you feel more obligated to actually keep taking it. But that I think is one of the easiest things for most people to do. And it's, but it's super important to have a high quality supplement so that number one, you're getting the real thing and number two, you're not getting a lot of additives that are not helpful. So I like that idea as well.

"But let's talk about what happened with the medical board. But I'll say one last thing about the pain patients. So this is really super important. The opioid crisis that that's been in our country is not an opioid crisis of doctors and patients in an exam room writing opioid prescriptions. It is an illicit fentanyl crisis from China and Mexico where they're lacing it with illicit drugs or even teenagers or dollar bills. Like don't even pick up a dollar bill at the gas station. There was a report of somebody who got laced fentanyl on a dollar bill floating around at a gas station. She picked it up and went into respiratory failure. And people around her had to call 911. Somebody knew how to do CPR. So you have to be careful about that. But I just want to clarify that because I actually think that ties in with COVID. They started to eliminate the use of opioids in our veterans first way back in the 2015s and earlier. And they were actually showing up at the VA when they were closed, going to the emergency room and shooting themselves in the head to protest how much pain they were in because their VA pharmacies refused to fill and their physicians refused to prescribe. Then they took that template and they applied it to the general population where they stopped having pharmacies. The mainstream pharmacies filled prescriptions for opioids if you could even get a doctor to write for it in the first place. Most doctors don't want a DEA license. They let it expire. They just say, oh, sorry, I don't have a DEA license. Can't do that, send you to a pain clinic. And so the pain patients, I think were practice for the COVID patients because here the government had main pharmacies. Didn't matter how much you yelled at them, they refused to fill. Didn't matter what you wrote, they refused to fill. And that was a stone wall to America. When COVID came around, they would not fill ivermectin. They would not fill hydroxychloroquine. Fortunately, most of them didn't know that doxycycline, the antibiotic acts like hydroxychloroquine. That's what they gave in India and Uttar Pradesh for five days, 100 milligrams twice a day. Simple, cheap antibiotic together with three doses of ivermectin and zinc. And that cured millions of people living in close quarters. So I would prescribe to the regular pharmacy doxycycline and make sure they took zinc also and a couple of all the supplements. But in desperation cases, when I screamed at a lot of pharmacists accusing them of killing my patients and they, for the first time in our country, doctors and pharmacists were quoting the CDC on anything, on not prescribing and not using ivermectin. And okay, so here's my question. When has any pre-med student, medical student, resident, intern, fellow, nursing student, pharmacy student ever been asked one question in training or on a medical board exam about what the CDC ever said about anything ever? Not once, zero times. We don't care what the CDC says. It's owned by big pharma. It's funded by big pharma. RFK Jodier just came out with that big conclusion. So they're not a scientific body. They have a, they're not objective. They have their own reasons for saying what they want to say. So with that said, with COVID and post-vaccine injury, I like to start with the usual, the ivermectin, the hydroxychloroquine, maybe some doxycycline, just to decrease any viral particles and zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin, and melatonin. In my guide book to low back pain, I have an entire chapter devoted to melatonin, which you take at dusk, not at bedtime. And you take a high quality supplement so that you don't get a hangover effect the next day. And it's not too high of a dose so you don't get hallucinations or bad dreams. But your brain normally secretes melatonin at sunset because that's part of your circadian rhythm, your day and night cycle. So of course, something has to change when sun goes down and that's your melatonin. So you always want to take it at dusk, number one. And number two, I have pictures of some studies showing that if you grow a corn in a melatonin base, so a little spike of melatonin in it, it acts like a growth hormone. So melatonin is actually in plants. It strengthens them so that they can withstand storms.

"So I'm healthy. You know, I'm healthy, but I don't really, I don't really feel that I need to take a lot, but trust me when I say I have a lot of, I have a supply of supplements around me 24 seven because anything could happen. Everybody's bracing for the next thing. And I don't want to be caught without. I bought a three pound jar of vitamin C powdered. And the trouble is you take too much of that and you get diarrhea. And then I bought the lipolyzed. Is that what it is? Lipolyzed vitamin C, which doesn't cause problems and is about three times as strong per gram. So we'll hopefully be able to supply links to all this stuff in the show notes. You have so many things I want to talk about. I can't resist asking some other, but quickly first, did you get a publishers for your books or how did you publish them on Amazon, right? Yeah, I have my guide book to low back pain was self-published without a publisher on Amazon. And then I have my two children's books, Little Missy Two Shoes likes a ladybug for a ladybug party for toddlers. And then Little Missy Two Shoes likes to go to school so that toddlers don't have tantrums when they go back to school. So those are both on Amazon. The two children's books were published in a sort of a model of self-publishing with main spring books where I did a lot of the work and then they fixed it up and did their magic wand on it to make it show up. So the rest of my books will be coming out with main spring books and they'll all be available on Amazon. Good for you. You know, I'm gonna have to hook you up with the Amazon ads contractor I use. I don't know whether I've told you about him, but he keeps my books selling. Now I don't make any money on them. I pretty much give him all the money, but it's a passion project. And of course I think it's important. So, you know, we're trying to get the word out and Amazon censored my fourth book, which is Cassandra's Memo. It was a description of everything that had happened in the last 24 months. And it's still available on Barnes and Noble though, because they're not organized enough to censor. They probably would if they could. So that in hardcover, and I offer them free for my listeners through the ebook free through a download site. And I put that on all my posts. So tell the story. Now we're getting into the juicy stuff. The nitty gritty. Tell the story of your experiences, just a little flush out a little bit more that your experience is treating COVID on that 2,400 patients or whatever it was. Did you do virtual consultations and how did the medical board get onto you and what were their claims and what was the whole process like? We share this because of course I resigned my medical license and they want you to say surrendered to make it sound as bad as possible. But I resigned my medical license and told them not to contact me ever again. And I pretty much ghosted them. And so that worked. I didn't pay my renewal fees. I owed them $5,000 for part of my probation. And I ignored that. And they never pursued that. And once you give up the whole thing, they have no more power over you. So, and it permitted me, I'm a little bit older that permitted me to go ahead and write full time. And you're going to have a wonderful career I'm sure. I mean, you're so creative. And so you've got a lot of resources. So I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun. But before we go into this, just tell a little bit about your, how you got those people off of the pain drugs. Now I'm aware that pill mills were the first pain clinics. And then they evolved into places like you where the good ones gradually tapered their patients off the opioids. And you probably are aware that the number one cause of death now under 50 is opioid overdose in America. It used to be accidents. And that probably includes murder and homicide and car accidents and everything. But now it's opioid overdose. And it hasn't gotten better as we've gotten aware of these companies and so on. So sorry about interjecting myself and your podcast, but go ahead, blast it. Blast off. That's okay. That's a very, very valid subject. It's a huge entirely riveting subject for many patients who suffer chronic pain, especially those who are in palliative care with conditions that will never get better. And they're suicidal without something for pain like CRPS, chronic regional pain syndrome, or RSD, reflex sympathetic dystrophy. It's known as the suicide disease where the legs turn into tree trunks or an arm. It just turns red and hard as a tree trunk. It's obviously very painful. So somebody has to do something for some of these patients. And I had a collection of them from a previous clinic. So what did I do to help them get off? I experimented on them with their permission. For example, I didn't know half the medications that they were on because the former physician was Dr. Forrest Tennant. He's got a master's in public health. He was there for Elvis Presley's autopsy and very highly regarded and respected. He had them on a lot of medications. So for a month to three months, I didn't change anything on anybody. I just kept them on what they were on because I was so newly back to medicine. I didn't want to kill them. So I knew if I just did that, I would be safe and everybody would be safe. And I told them to start saving, et cetera. And then I started using my own experience at Stanford Pain Clinic, especially. And with the veterans who also had suffered a lot of pain. And I started experimenting by adding particular drugs. I widened the reach of labs that he had used which included a lot of endocrinology. So I tested for viruses and lupus and all kinds of different things, Lyme disease. And he did that too. Yeah, Lyme disease was a big one. And so the first medication that I tried, everybody went on at the same time which was pretty nice, was Clonidine. And so I learned later because I started at the lowest dose but that was too high for some people. And one gentleman fell and broke his nose and sent me a picture of his broken nose bleeding and everything. I felt really bad, but they were so sweet and he was so kind. And the whole clinic was really tuned in to my wanting to help them with a polypharmacy approach that could cut inflammations. That is a alpha-2 antagonist. And so it stops the pain signal from going from the spinal cord to the brain. Patients with chronic pain have different PET scans of their brain. It changes the brain, it depresses it and activates areas that shouldn't be activated. So something like Clonidine can actually, and now we have low level light therapy patches that do the same thing that stop the pain signal from going from the legs to the spinal cord so that the second neuron from the spinal cord to the brain never even gets activated. So the brain just stops feeling the pain. So that's what I did is I tried one thing after another, steroids, hormone replacement with continuing with that that Dr. Tennant had done. And so I came up with a protocol and that's why I wrote the guidebook to low back pain which I think actually helped the medical board target me some more because here I'm not board certified in pain management, even though my ex-husband was the president of a very prestigious organization or two as an anesthesiologist as well. And we traveled all over the world and I wrote papers with him. So I didn't have that board certification but I certainly knew a lot and saw a lot. You were too late to take those boards, weren't you? Anesthesiologists are allowed to take those boards without any additional training, aren't they? They were at one time. You need an extra year. I think up until a certain point they were allowed to just take the boards. Yeah, I think you came out of the fog in 2018. That was after the grandfather thing. There was a pain fellowship program when I was a fellow at Stanford in critical care. So it was older than that, like 1997 or so. There was, or I believe there was already a pain fellowship. So that was how I did that. And I just wanna comment on what you were saying earlier about writing books. Like none of us seem to write books to make a lot of money. I think there's a few people that make a lot of money writing books, writing a book is an extremely prolonged process, right? With edits, re-edits, this, that, the other thing. It could take a year to write a book.

"2018, that's pretty recent. I mean, you're doing so well. And I, you know, we've, I've had similar experiences with medical personnel and I emphasize over and over that people need to take responsibility for itself, for themselves and do their own research. And a lot of times they have to tell the doctors what to do or correct the doctors or change course, or better yet, sometimes get another doctor because you can get a virtual consultation at the drop of a hat these days. It's been legal to operate virtually in the United States as physicians ever since Trump made a proclamation or whatever they say when he was president. So that's, it's a wonderful story. And I guess I'm going to go to the, what my listeners might be the most interested in. And that is your experience during the COVID for treating patients, your ideas about what the best post-vaccine injury treatment is. And of course the vaccine injuries are, that have been characterized as COVID injuries to scare people and to damage them even further psychologically. And that's all been a pack of lies. I mean, they're virtually all vaccine injuries. COVID treated properly is a nothing burger, as we say here in Pasadena, you know, the home of In-N-Out Burger, we call it a nothing burger. So jump into that, if you would, be kind enough to do it and I'll listen. Sure, you know, and I think you're absolutely right on the first part. You have to be a rebel. When you know that there's something wrong with you and the doctors aren't satisfying that instinct that God gave us, that there's still something wrong with you and there's something else that needs to be found, you need to take that to heart. You need to join groups of other people that have the same symptoms, read everything you can about it, be your own advocate, research it, and try to learn the language so that when you go to a doctor, you have specific things in mind. So one of the things, whether you're vaccine injured and they're giving you something or not, and we'll talk about all the alternative things that are out there that are helping many people. Number one, you would need to know how a doctor thinks. Number two, before you go to an appointment, you need to know in your head what you want when you walk out. And it shouldn't just be a prescription. We're all locked into that, right? Thinking that if I go to the doctor, I should get a prescription and a magic pill is gonna make something go away. That could definitely be the case. For me in dysautonomia, that was midadrenal, it made my blood pressure go up. But for a lot of things, maybe a consultation to somebody else who knows more because this doctor doesn't know. And yes, in your head, and you have to be super careful too, during the appointment, you don't wanna be a complicated patient. You don't wanna exsanguinate the doctor's energy so that they really don't wanna spend time talking to you the next time. Because I have 20 more patients to see after your seven minutes are up. If the doctor asks you a yes or no question, say nothing but yes or no. Because they're starting with an algorithm up here, yes or no goes this way. And then they're gonna ask you another question, yes or no goes this way. And then they're gonna ask you another question, same thing to infinity until you get to your diagnosis. And if you're stuck up here telling stories about what happened and this and that and using your doctor as their psychologist, you're not gonna ever get to the diagnosis. So in my rebel patient book, I go through that, what a soap note is, how a doctor thinks, when to fire your doctor in your head while you're talking to him or her. And 26 doctors, 24 to 26 before I got my diagnosis of dysautonomia. So on the post vaccine injury, I'm writing another book. It's a guide book to spike protein detox. It's going to list everything from A to Z that could possibly help. So there's probably not one magic formula for everybody is one side of the equation. The other side of the equation is, you're not everybody, you're you. And you have specific concerns, a specific history. And so what works for somebody may not work for you. There could be a magic bullet for you. That means you have to keep trying different things until you find either the combination or the one thing that works. So everything from ivermectin, which has helped neurologic injury and spasm and semi paralysis, people unable to walk just to cut down the viral load and excrete the spike protein out of your stool to supplements, of course, the vitamin Ds, the vitamin C, the quercetin, which acts like hydroxychloroquine and it's structurally similar. The zinc, because both of those are zinc ionophores and depend on zinc to go into a virus to stop it from multiplying to, I'd say I'd like to talk about the two newest things that the doctor groups that I'm in are talking about. And they're both outside of the country very bigly. One is in 80 countries already that nobody's ever heard of. And the other one is brand new just within the last month or so. The Italians have come up with a concoction. So the first one is called clean slate. The vaccines and multiple vaccines over time can deposit heavy metals in your system, especially if you've had multiple MRIs with gadolinium or other contrast, that metal is gonna stay in your body. So I highly recommend a detox for everybody, whether it's a potion like thing with a shaker bottle and a diet change like metagenics has, liver detox formulation, it'll bring metals and molds and other leftover things all over your body and present them to the liver. Then stage two, it allows the liver to chelate and metabolize them and ID them as toxic, ready for excretion. And then number three, it assists your body in eliminating the toxins through your stool, your sweat and your urine. So that's a diet is number one and detox is number one. The particular product on metagenics is clear change. There's a simpler formula that's in a bottle called clean slate. It is from the root brands. That one is a zeolite solution made by lava hitting seawater. So it's got a honeycomb structure with a negative charge that attracts all the metals to go into that and bind it and then excrete it. So there's been a lot of really good other maladies like psoriatic arthritis, painful, extreme conditions that have also cleared up as a result of a zeolite solution. And then the second product that is brand spanking new out of Italy is an augmented NAC or N-acetylcysteine is a supplement. They try, the FDA tried to take it off Amazon, et cetera. That one, they use quantum methods to hyperactivate the NIC capsule. And it has been shown in their own studies versus regular NAC which can denature or crumble up a spike protein into parts. So it's inactivated 12% with regular NAC. And then with the augmented NAC, say show data where it's 99% denatured. So you can, seems like you can eliminate much of the spike protein in your body that way. So I highly recommend if you're suffering from multiple chronic, vague, horrific symptoms that leave you unable to do the activities of daily life that everybody else around you is doing to try a detox first and then go along with trying a lot of different things like clean slate or the augmented NAC. And then my book is gonna have is A to Z. It's gonna have a pine needle, the dandelion root, all kinds of native remedies because now I don't have my medical license anymore. I've switched out to become a research physician and a certified tribal practitioner. So we know there are a lot of natural remedies out there that the native American indigenous Indians and other tribes and the Chinese have used for centuries. So we're bringing that more into the fore. So the first thing you mentioned is almost like an oral chelator, right? Traditional chelation has been given intravenously and it works quite well for heavy metals that can, you can get rid of mercury and zinc and a lot of other things using this and it's accepted. And the second is more like, well, explain a little bit about NAC, N-acetylcysteine. That's a harmless supplement that you can get anywhere. And this is a long acting kind or something, what is it? Yeah, they've used quantum methods to augment its ability to have better bioavailability in your body so that its effects are multiplied with lower doses. So N-acetylcysteine or NAC is a glutathione donor. Glutathione is the most potent antioxidant known to man. So it's gonna stop free radical formation, inflammation, a whole list of things that are caused by multiple chronic illnesses.

"The brain injury was completely resolved the second time in 2017, 2018. So I was able to have an active medical license in 2018. And so it's been a long hard role. And the thing I would like to say to people that have a vaccine injury is that I know it can be extremely frustrating to get a basket diagnosis, especially like long COVID, but they don't really treat you for dysautonomia or anything specific. They don't, they just send you home, right? Like it was with COVID. Like, yeah, just tell me if you get worse. So as far as the spirituality aspect of it, God, I held on to God and Christ on earth being able to heal a blind man to make him see. If God can make a blind man see, that's neurologic tissue. We know that the optic nerve goes straight to the brain. It has an incredible function of vision. You don't need a diagnosis from a doctor to get healed. All you need is God's power to overcome everything. And that may take time. For me, even though I had that near death experience and was promised that I could come back and watch my daughter grow up, I laid in bed, looking at the ceiling, fighting for my life every day for 12 years.

"The neurologist came in to examine me because I looked so young compared to everybody else at the cardiology board with dysautonomia. I'm 62 right now, and people usually think I'm much younger and they underestimate me because of that, or they think I'm lying, I guess. I don't know why the doctors always thought I was lying. So this particular neurologist came in and he was examining me and he asked me during his exam to have me stand up and close my eyes so that I could like touch my nose and do different things. And I said, if I do that, I'm gonna fall. Like, you need to know that I'm gonna fall. And he looked at me all brassy, like, don't worry, I'll just catch you if you fall. Well, I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew, I was looking at his shoes. And his feet were in the same exact spot that they were. He didn't catch you. Didn't catch me. So I sustained a second traumatic brain injury and that polyuria and polydipsia where I was thirsty, thirsty, thirsty, peeing, peeing, peeing. I ended up with diabetes insipidus twice. The second time was his fault. Maybe my fault too for trusting him, but I trusted him. And I put that in the rebeltation book too. And I put a picture of how he was looking up like with his hand on his shoulder, like I can't even thought I was faking that. And I ended up going on a vasopressin or ADH, antidiuretic hormone because that knocked out my posterior pituitary gland in the brain. It hangs like an apple. It knocked out my ability to hold onto water. That is incompatible with life. And it got so bad. That's why I was on the PICC line for three years. It went undiagnosed. They knew I needed water and I couldn't drink enough but I didn't know why. So here I finally told them to test me for it and they did and I had it. But I'll tell you being on an injectable vasopressin drug to tell your body to absorb water. When I was in the hospital during that admission, oh, actually not that one, but further down the line, the nurse accidentally it's like insulin. Like the littlest tiniest amount could be an overdose or an under dose, including the amount that's in the head of that needle. And the nurse gave me an overdose. Imagine getting waterlogged in five minutes. My eyes were bulging. My head was bulging. Everything was, I had the worst headache and they didn't want to do a thing about it. They wouldn't give me diuretics, nothing I had to suffer for like three days after that. So pitfalls of being a patient, the things that could go wrong, all those things are in my Rebel Patient book. The second revised edition is coming out probably this summer. The revised edition of the No More Tears book is coming out. It's much more, both of these are much more clear, concise. There's a lot of images, a lot of inspiration, a lot of empowerment for patients and a lot of spirituality as well, because had it not been for my relationship with God and my belief that he would heal me and that I was here for an ultimate purpose, I don't think that I would have been able to forge through as much as I did with as much perseverance as I had. We're incredibly resilient. And this is what I pray about these COVID shots is that my kids and all the other people who ended up taking them will have a chance to heal themselves. And so we don't know how bad it's going to be. And there are still people who are compromised, who are dying of a shot they got a year ago. But I'm hoping that the young healthy ones will do fine. And I'm hoping that there won't be another wave of supposed therapy like this that damages everyone worse. And your story is very heartening. It's inspirational and it's just amazing how long it can take to overcome this stuff physically. And how many years ago was it that you were at the end of this process and you were just coming out of the woods? That occurred in the car accident was in 2005.

"And then I wrote a guide book to low back pain after I assumed the medical clinic. Who took care of your daughter during this period? She had a nanny or sometimes if the, my caregiver consented to it, then my caregiver would also be a nanny. And I learned much later that, for example, when I was in the hospital for a weekend, one particular nanny who I'm very grateful for took her home for the weekend. You must be very close to your daughter after this experience. You know, she said, we've been through a lot together and I do everything I can for her. And yeah, we have a really good relationship. So you didn't even have any swelling visible on your brain scans? No, the brain scans all came out negative. I had to go to Colorado for a very special brain scan that finally showed something. But I will say that I went to the ER, particular ER repetitively cause nobody knew what the dysautonomia was and at one point I felt like I was gonna die. One of the ER docs at that time somehow thought of doing a spiral CT. So it looked at the arterial system and the venous system in my brain and that's when they found that I also had a vertebral artery dissection. So there was a rip in the artery on my left side that had formed a cut in the artery and it had, my blood pressure had been high enough and my heart rate had been high enough that that eventually ballooned out into an aneurysm. So that left me with something called Melde-de-Barcamot syndrome. Named after French sailors who got off of a ship and couldn't walk in a straight line. They walked like they were drunk. So it was like debarking off of a ship. So I basically could not walk across a room unless I went around the periphery or held onto furniture like a blind person. And if I stood up and closed my eyes, I felt like I was suspended in outer space. I had no grounding whatsoever. I didn't know where planet earth was. I didn't have any orientation, no proprioception, nothing going from my feet up my spinal cord to my brain or my silhouette of my body to tell me where I was in space. And that caused me to have extremely severe migraines. I usually woke up and threw up. I threw up all day long and I was bouncing in and out of the ERs for migraines, vomiting the whole time as well. Well, just for the listeners, there are four arteries that supply the brain. The two in the back are the vertebral arteries. They go through the spine in places. And then the two in front are the carotids, which everyone's heard of. And she found that she had a concealed problem with the vertebral artery, and this created this imbalance that made it so you could hardly walk. I assume you just gradually improved or was there a watershed moment at a year before your complete recovery that you just got better? That's a great question. There's, at that time, there wasn't that much even literature on this subject. So sometimes they would go in and try to repair it. Other times, medically manage it with a blood thinner, similar to atrial fibrillation or some other clotting issue because the blood could go into that balloon area and start to clot because the flow would be too low. So I was on blood thinners for probably three or four years. And then actually, I started getting better and better and better. I got so much better actually that Stanford accepted me to do a one-year buffer, like a clinical fellowship that would re-expose me to my profession so that I could get my skills back. I woke up one morning and I couldn't walk in a straight line, which was scary for the vertebral artery part of it. So I went to the ER, got admitted, and the worst thing happened. This is why I wrote the Rebel Patient book.

"Wow. So your verbal abilities were intact. You just couldn't get up. I had a severe expressive aphasia. So I knew what I wanted to say, but I couldn't speak. I couldn't make the words come out. I would know what it would start with, what letter it started with or how many syllables it had. But I couldn't get it out of my brain. From my brain to my mouth, it was impossible. And then over the years, it gradually got better, especially with the speech therapy. But even at that, in the beginning when I was learning how to speak, my brain was running faster than my mouth. And I would stumble over my words if I said them too fast or if I had a stream that was too fast. So I had to learn to slow down my brain and have it keep pace with my mouth. And then obviously now you can't shut me up. So it got better. So you were able to eventually write a couple of books during your period of disability, is that correct? I wrote six books while I was sick in bed. The first book is my No More Tears book that discusses my near-death experience and what it felt like to be a doctor who is mistreated by the medical profession and severely disabled without having any validation until I saw one cardiologist who was able to diagnose me with a dysautonomia, but even the traumatic brain injury, they didn't want to give me that diagnosis for a long time. It was a very haphazardly written book. I was sick and tired of it by the time I was done. I never wanted to see it again. It had really long paragraphs and some stream of thought. I was, I had, get this, I had polyuria and polydipsia. So everything I drank, I peed. If I drank more, I peed more. If I drank more and more and more and more and more, I drank all the time and ate salt on my bananas, salt on my yogurt, salt everywhere so I would retain it. I would still pee more, it was impossible. So what they did is they gave me a pick line. And so it's a peripherally inserted central catheter. It's an IV that goes in your arm in front of the elbow and goes, weeds all the way up into the right upper chamber of your heart to drip fluid in there. And in my first book, I made people listen to that humdrum and drip drop and go through all the battery changes. How much bag do I, how much flu do I have in there before I go to sleep? Because otherwise I'll wake up and the light will be clotted then there's no, it was horrendous. The weekends were the worst to get a clotted or an infected line. And as an anesthesiologist, you can imagine how eerie it was to watch the drops go into myself when I should be watching them going into my operating room patients or my ICU patients. And then I wrote the Rebel patient. I wrote two books, children's books, a book on a woman, a girl growing to a woman cause I thought I would die and I wanted to leave that behind for my daughter.

"Yeah, I had the similar experience. I'd been researching Butchered by Healthcare, which is my medical corruption book, and I understood that anything that was developed that rapidly was fraudulent. My wife and I, we were stuck in a foreign country, but we immediately said we were never going to get vaccinated for this thing. My wife has not taken any vaccines in her adult life, because she hasn't even taken a flu vaccine, which I regarded as harmless, but lately discovered that it wasn't. Especially with the new mRNA technology there and putting in flu vaccines, it's anything but harmless. That's our story about the beginning of my waking up. Did your daughter have an injury in the accident or she did pretty well? Thank you. She was two years old. She was sitting in the backseat with the puppy in a crate. I had tightened her belt really tight, just serendipitously or the voice of the Holy Spirit before I left that day to go drive in the car. We were visiting my dad, who had Alzheimer's, at a facility. We were driving down Malibu Canyon towards Pacific Coast Highway, so it happened actually right in front of Pepperdine University. A lady just T-boned us. She leaned over to get something off the ground and then lost control of her car. She pressed the gas, never pressed her brakes at all. She hit us about 90 miles an hour in a stitch of suburban. She had a little two-seater MG convertible, so she spun us around in a complete circle and jumped us over to face oncoming traffic. That's how hard she hit us. She totaled a truck behind us and totaled her car, of course. My daughter was perfectly fine. She had been looking down at a little leap pad that we had. She was only two, but she was into all that stuff, so somehow God made it so that her brain and her spinal cord were protected. The only thing she really suffered was the loss of her mom, the way she knew her. She's a nurse now. She turns 21 in August, so she's seen a lot. You had some sort of financial support during your time, I recall, your period where you were incapacitated. I had long-term care insurance, so that paid for a full-time caregiver 24-7. We bought one of the best policies that was available at the time around 2000 or so, 2001. Because my dad had Alzheimer's, my ex-husband at the time and I were concerned that I would get it too, so you can't even buy that policy anymore. They paid for a full-time caregiver, even though there were a lot of caveats with that situation, they stole from me and it was a horrifying experience to depend on another human being for everything, but they did pay them for those 12 years that I was fully disabled and I'm grateful for that. You just had one person or you turned over these people? Well, I had one person helping me all the time and they were rotating. Sometimes I had two, but fortunately at least one of them could stay with me 24-7 for maybe two or three days at a time. And you had to do this by yourself. You didn't have anybody who was an advocate? No, I didn't have an advocate. It was actually my idea to call the insurance company and ask them if my disability was covered. They were kind of funny in the beginning. They didn't want to pay because I would say, well, I can't do anything. I can't even take a shower. I can't even stand up in the shower. I'll faint. They're like, well, have you tried? I'm like, yes. And then I turned gray. Do you want me to hit my head and have another head injury on top of this? Like, no, I'm not going to do that. Go back and bump it up to a supervisor. So yeah, I even had to advocate for myself that way and my ex-husband at the time. I would say he was extremely supportive for the first six months maybe. And then after that, it wasn't.

"So were you actually unconscious for all those years? How many, do you have memories of the whole thing or how did it work? I was never unconscious. I never hit my head. So the doctors were reluctant to give me a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury, which is why I wrote the Rebel patient book that goes over how to fight for your diagnosis and get the proper treatment and how to use the medical system to get what you know you deserve, which is a chance to save your own life if that's what it takes. So I was basically bedridden at my worst. I was unable to even say the word the, and I could not stand up. I went to brain rehab for a month at Northridge Hospital Brain Rehab, and it was, you know, so they literally had to teach me how to brush my teeth. And I went through six courses of speech therapy before I could say the word the, and I remember looking at her mouth and her lips and like, where do you put everything? How do you breathe? So God really blessed me. I ended up remembering everything I ever learned in medical school, and God blessed me with the ability to inherit this big population of pain patients who were on a lot of medications. Some of them I had never heard of, like acetazolamide, et cetera, they were not anesthesia drugs we use in the operating room. So it was a prelude to what we all as physicians had to learn when COVID came around because we had to start using a lot of drugs that none of us had ever used, like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. But as an anesthesiologist, I was a great shoe-in for that, because that was my job to give drugs I had never used before, watch what happened, become comfortable with it, and then become extremely proficient at it. What woke you up to the COVID frauds? The first thing that woke me up was that, honestly, the vaccines came out too fast, but when they did come out, they selected the first population to be the doctors and nurses on the front lines in the hospital. I'm like, why would you want to test? Basically that's what you're doing with something experimental. A brand new vaccine on the very workforce that is slated to help the entire population.

This is incredible pound your chest and say look what I built is one of the biggest companies in the world And you don't have that personality Look I would say I didn't build this My partners and I built it And the other 2000 people built it And it's not about me And this company is going to be one of the most proud about is this company is going to be around far after I am and it's going to be a great successful business The greatest contribution I can make in the next ten years 15 years whatever it is is to make sure the next team is in place to take this business to another level And that was Bruce flatt the CEO of Brookfield asset management on Bloomberg wealth with David Rubenstein And Denise we were hearing earlier about Brookfield's push into renewables as the world focuses on trying to be carbon neutral And of course one of the big parts of carbon neutrality is transportation And as part of that hertz is buying 65,000 electric vehicles from automaker pole star over the next 5 years And we had a chance to hear all about that from hertz CEO Stephen scher and polestar CEO Thomas ingenlath And Bloomberg's Matt Miller and John erlichman kicked things off here asking about the deal So here's John Steven I'll start with you because I know obviously you've had these large goals to be become the dominant player with your electric vehicle fleet in North America How does this get you towards that goal Well it's certainly moving that direction I mean we're looking to build out the largest electric fleet in North America This adding to what we had purchased from and will be continuing to purchase some Tesla puts us on this journey Polestar has.

College football: Georgia beats Cincinnati in Peach Bowl
"Tim. Brando has returned and we are always excited to welcome. Tim brando back to our show and tim. Thank you for the time. Happy new year and man. Is there a lot to talk about. Yeah and even some of it is in sports too. You know a little bit of it has to do with sports up. And i've never been happier to be involved in sports right now. I can tell you that this is a this is a good day to cure about a college football game because otherwise you might need. You might shift drink. But let's keep it on college football before we get to monday night because certainly there's plenty of analysis. I couldn't help but think of you. On on friday as cincinnati was holding on dearly and ultimately lost to georgia in the peach bowl just You had been way out front arguing for others to be included in the party and they certainly acquitted themselves quite well. Yeah unfortunately you know this. Perception is reality. But sometimes the realities are when you wind up. Paul with A magnificent championship match up. And i will concede that that's what we have. I mean let's face it. We're talking about the two premier programs with the two largest brands from the two cities that get the highest ratings in sports television columbus. Ohio being second in birmingham alabama. Being one we're talking about the the the cfp really getting very fortunate. I mean really really fortunate. Because you know i certainly didn't believe in ohio state To be clemson the way they did. And i saw enough of ohio state during the regular season to know that they did not perform anywhere. Close to that Until that game was played. Which i think gives you know you have to give a lot of credit ryan day for having his staff and really his own gain planning so schematically superior to davos sweeney and clubs. That's you know brent. Venables is an outstanding defensive coordinator arguably considered maybe with dave aranda. Now is the head coach the best in the country and they were absolutely woodshed. It by ohio state and they did it. Schematically with two tight ends what they call twelve personnel football speak and utilizing the tied in and other receivers in a way that they have not done all season long. certainly they didn't do any of that against northwestern football team that defensively had the their team in a position to possibly beat ohio state in the big ten championship. I mean if it weren't for trae sermons Who had an unbelievable record breaking performance rushing the football. You know ohio state. Does it win that game against pets. It's gerald steam. So i think it was a legitimate by most of that cover football on a regular basis that simpson. Just add way. Too much ammunition and from a defensive standpoint would be able to handle what Been a relatively Understandable offense to defend. You know if you take care of justin feels and you double alava at wide receiver. You should be able to handle them well. That certainly was not the case in this game. So the cfp gets break with this matchup but that doesn't stop the thought process that that cincinnati gave everyone a reason to understand my point of view on this and so many others feel similarly that this is a team deserves to be playing for something a lot more than they were against georgia. They were two yards away all on third into and really didn't have to convert the third to if all they had done is just run the football as opposed to pass it Georgia would have had twenty five thirty thirty five fewer seconds to work with to get the ball to field goal range for fifty three yarder to win it. So i would contend that cincinnati's not just not getting the two yards but just deciding to throw the football rather than run. It was the difference in winning and losing. And and i think if that had happened the narrative wouldn't just be all my god. How great a matchup we have. We know how state alabama the narrative would also be. God did you see cincinnati. You know i mean did you. And they put iowa state with two losses above them. They they they dropped them to spots. I mean cincinnati's case would have been so much different. Had they been able to pull that off against georgia. But but i think people that are smart enough. That really understand the grander landscape of college. Football get the point and that is teams like cincinnati belong the ratings. Prove it too by the way. The highest rated new year's six game on your employers air by far was the cincinnati georgia game that means the game against north carolina and by the way eight. Mp team's gonna wind up at the top four right but you know it was that was a glorified exhibition. It did not rate the way cincinnati's game rating with georgia. It just didn't so imagine if that game was cincinnati were game. That mattered. That really matter. i dare say it would make a huge difference in the mindset of so many people as it relates to expansion of college football. Football's player

I Predate the Home Computer with James Thomson
"I'm excited for. Today's show got an interesting guest we do. It's going to be so much fun. I was looking back to the archives were planning guests and I was like wait. This person hasn't been on. We should fix this, and so we we are joined by. The friend of the Internet I think I'M GONNA. Give Him that title Mr James Thompson. Oh thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. I was I was looking at? It's like yeah has taken five hundred thirty eight episodes. Feed to motors. I'm here and I I feel now. I feel really bad I just want I've joking that sounds like I've got a massive ego. I do have a massive. Massive Ego, but the funny thing is. We've talked about a on the show. I mean back. This shows I did with Katie. We should talk about you. I don't know. Maybe we just felt like you were unaccessible. You were like one of those people at the top with like two or three assistance, and we'd never get through to you. I I. Think I could not be further from the truth. Well James is the developer of CALC. And You've done of stuff with apple, and as an infant developed over the years and James. I'm really looking forward to talking today about some of your experiences. All I am hopefully. I've got something interesting to say so I. Know You do I. Know You do the question is? Will we get you to say it? Look I left Apple Twenty years ago I'm I feel like the statue of limitations has passed on? So I like that, too. So James I feel like we've known each other a long time. We have a shared interest in. Technology history, we have a shared interest in Lego if a shared interest in. Nerdy things for nerdy things sake. I feel like we are very much. Cut from the same cloth, but we want our listeners to get to know you a little bit, so give us a little bit of your background. Maybe how you made it to be the full-time developer that you are now I mean I guess. This sort of wettest star is right to the beginning I mean. It's like I'm old enough that I said of predate the home computer and My first sort of real computer experiences were had an extra neighbor who was at American from California, and he had an apple two, and this would probably be very early eighties, probably eight, hundred, eighty-one or something, and I would go round there and I play on the Apple. Two and I play all these. There was a game that I took took me about ten years to work out what it actually was, but it was getting Kobe mosque the son. Of. Text Adventure. Go North pickup. Thing type and That was really sort of my fomative computer experience but then in eighty three. I got my own home computer to as a commodore sixty four, and in the UK through a two rivals, there was the commodore sixty four and the sinclair spectrum. There were really other computers, but they didn't count. It was those two, and I chose the commodore sixty four, not really knowing anything between British American or anything, but I chose a commodore sixty four, because it seemed to have a slightly better version of Pacman, I mean this was like at the height of fever, and I think actually made the right choice. Because the Commodore had really Nice Graphics and signed. I mean really nice graphics in Nineteen eighty-three, but it did have this thing co compunet. which was UK only sort of. Proprietary E. A. O. L. Like online service. This was around eight, thousand, five or something, and it had mud's which are multi multi user dungeon, so basically multiply at text adventures, and it had a software uploads and downloads. US Demo Seen Aranda and there were a lot of game developers that I'd become aware of it to me a while to work out. All these things are actually created by people and There was a one developer cold Jeff Minter. Who wrote Oldies Games in the UK and is still right two games and He's the reason basically the island code because I wanted to write games like he wrote and. That was kind of like the stop, and then things rolled over time, and it was like that our school was the first school in Scotland to get a computer like one computer a half, and this was in one, thousand, nine, hundred, three, and this was. An ACORN BBC. Model B computer another British specialty, and when it arrived in the school, the teachers had no idea what to do with it. Because none of them I think had used a computer, so they put a call to the students and said and this was. I would be probably What's the three? It'd be about ten of the time and they said you know. Does anyone have a computer news anything to do this thing nor four of us that perhaps hand said yes. We are clearly the experts here. So we were brought in and we ended up teaching the teachers high to use this computer, and then teaching some of the kids in the lower years before school started, we had these computer lessons that we ran and we actually ended up having an office like four of us. A nice waiting like school kids in and we had an office in the school. Would sit in there and we had learned to program. We would listen to music and we would play. Video Games and. That was pretty much the entirety of my lost primary school year. This primary seven I know his whole different to your your times, but it was basically the seventh year of my school.
The Book Review
A Manhunt on the 17th Centurys High Seas
"Steven. Johnson joins US now. He is the author of many books many bestselling books including farsighted. And how we got to now but he joins us to talk about. His latest book is called enemy of all mankind. A true story of piracy power and Histories. First Global Manhunt Steven. Thanks for being here but much having me. There are lots of exciting terms just in your title and subtitle alone. I WANNA start with those even though and we'll talk about this. There's a larger story that you want to tell with this book but let's begin with piracy because that's a fun word. What happened on September Eleventh? Sixteen Ninety Five. There's a kind of interesting bleak poetry to the fact that this happened on September eleventh. Basically the events that are at the center of the book is a clash at sea in the Indian Ocean between pilot. Ship led by a very mysterious figure who would become the most notorious criminal in the world. A guy named Henry Avery and a much larger Indian treasure ship whose name was anglicized as the gun sway and the translation of that into English is excessive treasurer or exceeding treasure. So they were being pretty conspicuous with maiming. This vessel in terms of the of treasurer on board and effectively. These two ships confront each other on September eleven sixty ninety five by all rights. The pirate ship should have been easily overpowered but to incredibly unlikely things happen a cannon onboard board that Indian ship explodes because of some kind of malfunctioning design which basically turns cannon into a bomb when it explodes in so instantly. There's this you know. Many people on Indian ship killed the deck catches on fire. And at the same time. The first cannon fire from the pirate ship manages to have this incredibly lucky shot where they split the main mast of the Indian chip in two which effectively disables at in in the water and so the pirates are able to board the ship they pull off this heist that in today's currency we be would be worth as much as one hundred million dollars so it makes one of the most lucrative crime some in the history of crime and triggers a global crisis that reverberates around the world. Okay before we get to that crisis because you would wonder why one active piracy would do that. Just general picture of the piracy problem at that time. I'm always taken aback by the way that pirates are these cute Nara dwells in children's picture books or like Johnny Depp for many people. But that's not what piracy was back. Then what did it looked like? And was this unusual. Well actually one of the origin points to this project for me was years and years ago. I mean something like fifteen years ago. When my kids were very young we went to Disneyworld and we went on the pirates of the Caribbean ride and it was right after nine eleven and I had this on. I was floating down this little canals. That ride songs are being song and everything. That's very Kelly. The that the pirates were the terrorists of the seventeen hundreds and sixteen hundreds right. They were these terrifying figures would show up out of nowhere and burn your village down and attack. The women and people lived in fear of them. Here was three hundred years later. And it's just a kind of a children's story so they'll link between pirates and terrorism. Which is something that runs kind of subtly through enemy of all mankind actually began on that. Disneyworld ride in some ways. But what's historically really important about pirates at this point in history and one of the reasons why this particular story has so much significance. I think is up until this point. There was a very blurry line in terms of the legitimacy of piracy so there was this other class of occupation. That was called being a a private here. And if you were a privateer from all outside appearances you're a pirate attacking other ships and stealing their treasure and doing all these atrocious things that seat. But as long as you weren't attacking if you were a British privateer as long as you weren't attacking British ships. You're within the zone of and people like Francis. Drake a couple of generations before Henry Avery. When often basically we live the life of piracy but then came back to England and was knighted and bought a giant estate and lived a completely legitimate lifestyle. And so in a sense what happens to this period because of crime for reasons we can get into. It's a turning point where the British crown finally has to take a stand against piracy. They have to basically announced to the world that they're not a nation of pirates the way they've been accused to be. Let's talk about what made this pirate attack so noteworthy. Obviously there was the hall but were there other things that made this a big deal at the time. There are a couple of big ones. I is the other element of the crime. This ship that they attacked was a ship that had been doing business and ports of call like Mocha in the red seat but it was also filled with religious pilgrims coming back from Mecca on a whole other level was kind of a Muslim like religious transport vessel as well and among those pilgrims were a significant number of women women in the Royal Court of Aranda. Who was the great grand mogul of India? The last of the moguls and this was an unusual thing. At the time right you would not see a lot of big vessels in sixteen ninety five. That had a significant number of women on board but there are all these female pilgrims on board and so when the pirates attack the guns way they find these women there and number of the pirates rape the women on board. Some of the women commit suicide jumping overboard to avoid being attacked. And so there's this kind of outbreak of the atrocious sexual violence that happens as part of the crime and of course WORD GETS BACK TO WRONGS. Zab that not only has a hundred million dollars of his assets been stolen but members of his extended royal family have been sexually attacked and violated and this all is crucial in terms of geopolitics. Because it's right at a moment in a time where there's a major economic transition happening in the world. There's a chapter in the book called two kinds of treasure and is basically. There are two different ways of making a fortune that are in conflict with each other here. There's a very old way which is represented by Aurangzeb which is have an autocratic dynasty tax year citizens. Sit On that wealth and pass it onto your descendants. That's what every most of the rich people in the world at this point where people who were members of some kind of royal family that had some kind of dynastic wealth. But there's this new way of making money that has just appearing in it comes in the form of this interesting embryonic. New Organization called the multinational publicly traded corporation and that was the east India company. The east India Company was the first company that actually had publicly traded shares. So that people could. Outsiders could invest in the company in those shares could go up or down in value and for the first time people were making money not just through the prophets of the business but through the increase in value of these publicly traded shares and that turned out to be the future. Right dot is how if you look at the one hundred richest people in the world today. The vast majority of them were people who made money because they had traded shares in a company. They found that their parents found it. So in a sense clash between these two massive economic forces and Henry. Avery in his little pirate ship gets right in the middle of it because once. Iran's UB here's that his money has been stolen in women have been raped he threatened to eject the east India company from India which is the main source of their income. They've been trading CALICO and chinse fabrics and so on and if that had happened if they've been thrown out of India the whole course of the British Empire would have been transformed. It's entirely likely that the British Empire would not have formed in in India in the subsequent decades. If the east India company had been injected. So why wasn't it? Attracted rings up puts a number of the employees of the east India Company under house arrest and threatens to execute them and they began a furious letter writing campaign back to London. Saying we have to find the pirate we have to bring him to justice and we have to announce to the world that we are not going to tolerate piracy anymore or else this whole incredibly lucrative business that the country is increasingly dependent on is just going to disappear and so. That's what triggers this global manhunt really the first one in

If we can mobilise around a pandemic, what next? Meet two revolutionaries already flouting the rules
"This ovid nineteen pandemic horrifying as it ease. Ease making us old. Think deeply about what comes afterwards about what out. Society will o'clock about what sort of society we? What's been really incredible? He's seeing how quickly the world can mobilize when it really needs to not quickly enough. Shore and the economic consequences are already devastating about four a behemoth of Planet. We have found a common purpose. Eradicating the pandemic. It's Natasha Mitchell joining you for science fiction and given all that. What could we mobilize around next if there was similar will mitigating climate change? What about the mountains of waste we generate as a species we flush freshwater Dan at Danny's landfill is piling up Arandas? Chana doesn't want out rubbish for recycling anymore and we throw out perfectly. Edible food by the ton make sense. No not really so I want you to meet to revolutionaries who have been well breaking rules to change. The world to me is a reflection of in particular in urban our society. That's not working. The fact that we twelve thousand years ago there was four million people on the planet and you sort of think so we take Melbourne and we better data across the planet and they probably created waste but it was Beautifully by the planet putting on being people on the planet and the same model. We exactly the same model now. It's clearly not an appropriate model anymore. We have a million tons of waste water a day in Melbourne. And what we do is we clean it up enough or we put it in a hole. We'll put it in the air or put it in the sea and we say our hope. The planet just fixes that problem and at some point probably when we hit a bad abi and people the planet's wasn't able to fix that problem anymore and so the model of waste that says that we can just put it out there and the planet will assimilated hall or in the Sea. He's finished so for me. Waste Rip presents a problem that we have to solve. That goes back a very long way. So it's hard to solve. I want you to make precipitated scales a chemical engineer and director of the particulate fluids processing center at University of Melbourne. He's a problem solver an inventor a makeup from water reuse and recycling to enormous batteries powered by your piece. Joost Becker is an environmental activist. Experimental End Artists to in two thousand twelve opened. The world's first zero waste RISTORANTE SILO BY JOOST. And they join me. As part of an event at the science gallery. Millwood's last pop-up exhibition called disposable. I want to talk about what happens when you try to challenge systems as they are to cleverly rethink how we use wise because what. We've got here people who do that and joost. You decided early on that you were going to respond to the the whole West Challenge and goes zero waste and not only that trying to open up a restaurant that was wholly zero waste. So what did that look like what most people do is? They see the waste product and then try and work out what to do with the waste product. I go back and look at the system if the system is generating something that is now used in the system needs to change. And so. That's what I did basically just change the system so the milk I spoke to a dairy fabric supply me and stainless steel cake so we developed like tap system we ground our own flow because we we have our own flower roll around oats. We spoke to winemakers about putting wine in kegs. One on tap might our own data everything that kind of generated waste but an even does myself. Yeah but this is much that has has come from that. I mean that was a forty two square meter cafe and it has caused ripples across the world is stuff going on in New York and in London in China and in South America. That has happened because of that cafe. Today I was sent an image of a Steiner Steel Keg and the farmer has worked for four years with the health department to try and get his keg approved now. Just my little cafe was like you know quarter of a million milk bottles or some crazy amount of milk bottles that we didn't need to buy that. My dairy farmer didn't need to buy that went didn't didn't need to purchase them and then I didn't pay someone to come and collect them and that plastic really copy restocked because he's got a fat coating from this animal fat on it. Which makes it really difficult to recycle it. So you know there's so many things and then in two thousand twelve the year on Harvesting was that was completely illegal but like my main sponsor was the city of Melbourne and had the city of Melbourne. Lago all over it and I thought if I'm going to get a crack at this I'm going to do it now. Okay so you're on harvesting in a commercial restaurant space. What were you doing because you're pushing the boundaries in all sorts of directions in this cap so people will come in and inspect building and go on my God. We had no chemical us. We had so much stuff this allies of things going on that for for people that were you know from the council checking to see you know. I had no plastic chopping boards and I had electrolytes water so water that came from was invented for surgery to clean hands and clean surgical tools in Japan. Twenty five years ago. It's basically water with salt and electric current goes through it and kills bacteria instantly us. Four billion gloves every single day that get thrown away which ended up in landfill which copy recycled and now here nets. No nothing so no bins no rubbish. We had like a little jam jar that showed there may capstone came on the kegs so I had to work to say. I don't want plastic cats on paper caps so they can go into our invisible composter so you can imagine how if you don't have been you've gotta work it out because you end up being left with stuff you know. We ended up having this board. That big of rubber bands because everything on the veggies and stuff in rubber bands but work with we were just talking about a with. Kerama on unlike a twin ball toilet so that Iran could be separated and stuff toilet applies to boys. Talk about in the toilets. Okay so so the so. This is the Iran harvesting story in this cafe. What did you do? And how did you challenge the health authorities big time? This was instilled in me by my dad. Probably account remember how it was maybe three or four years old so we were living in Holland and I used to go with my dad so he's veggie patch and be little like delft. Were little bottles. It'll all these little things coins I'd find one that had all this stuff come here in the solar we miles away from any any city or and he said we'll hundreds of years ago. Farmers would go to cities and shovel the human manure of the trenches to re fertilized their soil. Because you can't just keep pulling from soil so became caught assist with that idea and knowing that you know I don't know what it is some safe. Three percents is seven percent of the world's gases used to create a fertilizer a synthetic fertilizers. And I must say that. That fertilizer isn't even a good fertilizer because it doesn't actually narcisse soil properly. What we're doing is with mining soil. And we're not putting back what we've taken out so for me. It's like logical that we can't solve this problem unless we start looking at putting the nutrients that we've taken out back in. So what did you do with Iran in the restaurant so we use it on grain crops so use it to fertilize mustard crops in thousand and use it as a herbicide that we did all sorts of trials different levels to say what kind of facility was brought back to soil? We ended up with three and a half thousand Litas from a five-week pop-up.

He was still in love with heather so he was pretty heartbroken and depressed any moved in with his mom and according to her he went through months and months of depression. He and his brother Michael continued to run the fountain business though and eventually they got together with a computer expert named Dan. Kavanagh Dan and help them build a website so they could begin doing their business as earth inspired products online so people could go online and order fountains so this is really opened up things for them then. Joey did meet summer. That was in two thousand four. They were introduced by. Joey's friend who was named macgyver. So I don't remember. He had enough his parents liked the TV show. It's a strange name choices in it or yeah so summer was just breaking up with her longtime boyfriend. Vic and Joey and summer's relationship moved fast but she was worried about how vic was going to react to her being with someone a new so soon she didn't own a house with vic and had to go through the legalities of getting her name off of the property in the mortgage and getting some money out of that so summer was a bit eccentric and she had been known by more than one name so this would end up causing a lot of speculation after the family's family's disappearance like what was going on with her. She was born Virginia Lisa Aranda and had also been known as SUMMER MARTELLI SUMMER ARANDA RANDOM MARTELLI LISA Aranda and Lisa Martelli Summers mom raised her and her two siblings on her own as a single mom in both California and Chicago and according to summer's mother Martelli was the surname of Summers Stepdad. Now another thing that summer did that would lead some people to question things was that she was also known to have taken some years off her age when speaking to people. But there's no evidence that she used this new birth date on any legal documents family members including her sister. Heavens suggested that her name changes were just her own preference and it wasn't anything anything to avoid any legal entanglements. She was just the kind of person who wanted to make up her own name. She went to live in California and be named summer and she did did. She did it so summer gave birth to Joey's first son Johnny in two thousand five and in less than two years later Joseph Junior was born a summer had an aversion to hospitals and both boys were delivered at home shortly after Joseph. Juniors born Joe in summer got married and this is a small ceremony in Orange County. The summer side of the family didn't attend. She didn't seem very close to family. And this worry. Joey's mother so the night before the wedding summer had called her family s and not to come to the wedding and stole his mom. Susan was never quite sure awesome redundant no but it seems like. Joey knew why he wasn't questioning it. So you know there were issues but what family doesn't have issues really. Were your those issues. His issues right and these were a little extraordinary. I guess but who knows what was going on and it was a small second marriage. So maybe it wasn't a big deal. Having family. There is a bigger deal to some people than others where I would put that as a priority. I'd like they're where my family at my wedding. Of course right. Yeah but not all. My family came to my wedding. We'll important one stood. Oh okay well. According to a lot of people though summer was very jealous of Joe his first wife Joey and heather shared custody of their son Jona. Joey's friends friends and family said that summer was very caring Jona even though she wasn't always thrilled with heather. Summer did complained to her sister. Tracy that heather would barge barge into their house regularly. You know even walking in when Joey's in the shower kind of weird and she would drop off Jona without calling ahead and just kind of expect. Expect summer to Babysit so summer was trying to get along and she put up with it at first but eventually she told Joey that she was going to have to break up and leave if he didn't set some boundaries with the ex wife now to me that seems totally reasonable for those to me too yeah. I'm not just a working or drop off daycare right. No Yeah and you're not married to him anymore. So what are you walking into the House for is if you live here. Durham my house. Yeah Komo Yard. That's right so I totally get that. I mean it's territorial thing if nothing else plus. It's disrespectful very disrespectful. To summer summer and to summer and Joey's relationship maybe not the best thing for Jona to see either possibly not

Proposed federal law seeks to limit skyrocketing salaries of college coaches
"Well anyway. I I call one of your stories. He's just week. We're talking about salaries and congress trying to put a cap on things and you. Did I think a an amazing. I don't know how you doug all this up. A deep dive live into the evolution of coaching salaries. Take us through that process. Yeah I one of the one of the most interesting thing about college. Football is how in twenty twenty I guess in our in our myopic nature point twenty we think that we all have these like little arguments novel discussion Russia. We've been doing this thing for one hundred fifty years at this point in time there are quite a bit of things that just are not new and some of that is complaining about too many bowl games but another one of those things is talking about how coaching salaries are way too high. I mean it's it's it has quite literally almost almost always been like this. I mean Amos Alonzo Stagg at Chicago making six thousand dollars in eighteen eighteen ninety two now I went back and use the consumer price report and price some of these salaries out in you know twenty eighteen at the time buying power. And you know. That's six thousand dollars. Amazon does stag was making then was worth like a hundred and sixty thousand dollars back in eighteen. Ninety two there has always been this separation between what highly paid college. Football coaches made Versus what the Common Man Colombian mix. You know I'll I'll bring it to your audience and hit them home like bear Bryant when he's doing. Brian show that that famous Sunday highlight show That that became formative so formative for a lot of Alabama fans. He wasn't doing that just out of the good report he was because he was getting paid there Bryan getting in pay. That's why I thought he. I thought you said he was a benevolent. So I believe you remember this because you weren't born but he also had to Eat the potato chips and drink cocoa which by the way had bourbon in it. Yes absolutely I mean like bear. Bryant was Bear Bryant was cheering the back right now. Yeah so I find it amazing we we. We had a professor on earlier who who was very much a part of the Donna? Shalala Team Wanting to limit coaching Ching salaries so When did they make the big turn? When did they start going? I mean as as some of the critics say out of control to me. It really doesn't matter what any of these guys make but TAKE A. When was the big turn? I think they really and truly exploded in the nineteen eighties because in the nineteen eighties. That's when that Supreme Court hate happened with like Georgia Oklahoma and you know they got. TV rights You know they divorced the TV rights from the NCAA and schools colleges then became able to go. She ate television rights As entertaining defended themselves. Obviously than we get into the CFO era and BCS. And what we have now where the SEC. Disperse what was it. Six hundred and fifty some odd the million dollars yesterday give or take a few million yeah To all fourteen member schools. I mean look. The bedrock of this cannot be overstated. The bedrock bedrock of this is this when you as an Athletic Department at Florida Alabama at Lsu is Florida state when you do not have to pay your labor force when you do not have to compensate you or athletes. That money has to go somewhere now. That money goes to beyond coaching salaries. I mean that's the facilities race that is everything. Everything that makes these college will programs at opulent as they can be obviously a really really big part of the PIE now. Is Coaching salaries. Now Coaching coaching salaries the early eighties. That's stuff starts to get reported. That's my really really starts coming into Coming into the sport in a way that it had really really before that By the time you get through the mid nineties Florida's paying Steve Spurrier the one of the first billion dollar contracts so that he doesn't jump to the NFL at that time honestly the NFL itself explodes. You've got that competition. So it's it's the competition that that spurs in any industry the street Salaries and money and will lose those things but the early eighties. I think is where we can really pinpoint when college athletics kind of started growing up from a from a fiscal standpoint talking to Richard Johnson from a better society in now we all know what is going on. I'm interested where were you. Were you sit on this. Because the the so called Donna. Shalala proposal We heard Professor Ridpath on this would would curtail a lot of things I find find. It somewhat amusing chancellors and presidents at Private Schools More so than public schools making. I'm five six million dollars a year We have an offensive and defensive coordinator is making major seven figure salaries I know is a highly paid journalists. Where we're we're are you on what Shola is is attempting to to do at least down one lane in Congress right. I think you have a good point. the the facilities boom and the salary boom of coaches collect directors and the things that we coach Sports Mirror. That of what we see on the institutional side at a lot of these verses and I think that is one thing thing that really gets lost you know like you said like g Foreign President of like West Virginia. Like these guys make guys and girls make six figures seven figures. There is a lot of money in higher education in the United States at the highest levels. college athletics is it is not an outlander But like studies have shown time and time again going back thirty forty fifty years that when your football all team is good when your basketball team is good It becomes you know they always say that is the front porch of the university. Admissions skyrocket when athletics. Do well and that is. Why a lot of these University of course than anything else I think? Put Up with and we'll pay out the nose for Nick Sabin or Jim Harbaugh or a Davos. We or whatever I think the dirty secret is is the weight from Ro a lot of these endowments in some of these very popular. Schools would shrink a lot more than people wanNA realize. No I mean just look around. I mean boone pickens. She died recently. I mean the the amount of money that he put into Oklahoma state and I don't I don't mean to disparage Oklahoma state in stillwater Oklahoma. Oh my been there. And if you haven't Richard Make sure that you put that on your bucket list. Wouldn't it wouldn't have had that type of money And and a lot of these Jerry Jones. He's given to the University of Arkansas. You can go down the list And I mean and it's because of one thing we're trying to win in in in college football or basketball depending on on on where you live and what part of the country you're in. Yeah absolutely I saw a stew. MANDL's works in the for pretty athletic. He He has a college pat column and somebody asked him Ten million dollars. What would you do with it to build a staff? And I look the question and I was like look man if you WANNA compete with Alabama Lsu Clemson Oklahoma Ohio state. You need more your salary. You Pool has to be bigger than ten million dollars. I mean on on its face. You'RE GONNA have to pay a coach at that level. Five five and a half six six billion dollars. You'RE GONNA have to pay your coordinators eight hundred nine hundred thousand dollars because Dave Aranda was was pulling such a salaried Lsu a few atmosphere necessarily because he was such town defensive coordinator which he is but it was because one opinions coordinator so that the only job job they'll leave for is a G. Five or or power five kids coaching job. It's got bulletproof coordinators. I WANNA lose them. I don't want to take collateral. If they leave me they gotta take step up so okay. You're paying both your coordinators Like one point eight billion dollars between the two. That's like eight million dollars. Just gone to the head coach in coordinators. Now you're in another like five million dollars higher director staff your eight assistant coaches which is all right. That's your ten assistant coaches You want to compete with Georgia Alabama. All right we'll have a party because you have to fill out the rest of those staffs with analysts. We assist tense You know you gotTa have a staff of three saw guys kind of the shadow. Coaching staff that that Alabama kind of those famous or infamous. No matter how how are depending on which by the fence you went on but You know it takes money to keep up with the Joneses and it takes a lot of line really want we national championship. Always great to have you on Richard other than chicken. What's the what's the second most favorite food that you'll be serving the super bowl party Sunday lady a friend is bringing some guacamole? She'll be homemade guacamole. I'm not a big block fan but you know you know how this you gotta try say like it. So that'll that'll it'll be my My side dish. I cannot wait I if I'm in the neighborhood I'll just drop Bil- bring some bring bring a some some fruit cake leftover from Christmas. I couldn't give away Gringa fruitcake. Brings some cold ones man.

Stuff To Blow Your Mind
The Monster Slayer
"I want to tell you a story about a monster slayer Robert Are you game I am gay okay so once upon a time in medieval Japan there was a warrior named minimal oh no Raiko he was daring swordsman and he was famous everywhere for his bravery and his resolve and Reiko had in his service a companion named watanabe notes Suna who was also courageous and he was a formidable fighter in his own right and he wielded a bow and Arrow war suit of armor and they rake Oh and sooner were traveling on the road to key to Yama when they saw a skull floating in the sky flying in and out of the clouds above now sooner we're curious how such a thing could be so they decided let's follow the skull and they followed the flying skull all the way to Keg Arocca where it leads them to a crumbling old mansion from ancient times the decaying manor was surrounded by wild overgrown weeds in an old gate choked by vines so Reiko ordered Suna wait for him outside and Reiko entered the mansion alone as he approached the threshold he started to become aware of a presence there was an old woman lurking behind the door and he called out who are you she replied I've been living here for a good long time I am too hundred ninety years old and have served in their turn nine lords of this house and then Reiko saw her she was a horrible sight to behold before the war years is the old woman grasped her own eyelids with a tool and she flipped her eyelids back over the top of her head like a hat then she pushed her south open with a large hairpin and her lips became gigantic and she took her lips and she tied them around her own neck and her breasts began to sag down to her lap like rags the old woman began to speak again she said spring comes in autumn goes but my sad thoughts remain the same years again end but my misery is eternal this place is a demon's din no human dares pass through gates my sorrowful youth has gone but my old self sadly remains element that Bush warblers depart and swallows on the beam fly off in her sorrow the wretched old woman begged Reiko to killer with his award and put her out of her misery Reiko could see that the old woman was out of her mind so he left her alone and he instead decided to go into the house to see what had happened in salt the mystery of the flying skull and what was afflicting this woman making her think she lived demons den so he went inside the house and outside the sky grew dark and pherson winds begin to blow but soon awaited loyally for his master and inside the House Reiko began to hear the sounds of footsteps echoing like the beat of a hand drum then he saw coterie of spirits and goblins coming into the room with him but the creature didn't attack instead they only danced around and then after his fear before passing out through another door in their place came into the room a tiny woman no more than three feet tall but with a gigantic taste more than two thirds of her whole height and she had stick heavy eyebrows and when she opened her mouth Reiko could see her front teeth were black she wore we'll have an a red Hakima with nothing underneath her arms were so thin they were like strings and her skin was Pale as snowfall then that woman disappeared and Reiko realize don was nearing almost as soon as the strange woman left another woman came into the room this time the woman was graceful and calm and so beautiful that Reiko could barely believe his eyes he thought that this woman must be the true mistress of the old house finally coming out to welcome him and her is shown as bright as the reflection of a bonfire in black lacquer but when Reiko was distracted by the woman's beauty she got the better of him she lifts did up the him of her Hakima and from underneath it she heaved at the swordsman some kind of material what looks like balls of white cloud and the balls of white cloud blinded him they got his is in a rage Reiko drew his sword and a slashed the woman but she evaporated into thin air he slashed so mightily the soared passed through the floorboards and cut a foundation stone and the tip of the blade broke off where the woman had been there was now nothing but a pool of white blood on the floor with a trail of more white blood leading off somewhere else Reiko and soon joined together again and they followed the trail of white blood out of the else up into the mountains and finally to the mouth of a dark cave out of which white blood was flowing like a river at soon as suggestion the two of them made an effigy of written and vines in the shape of a man and they carried it before them as they enter the cave inside the cave they found a gigantic monster in the form of a mountain spider but nearly two hundred feet tall and wore a brocade on its head its eyes were as bright as the sun and the moon the giant monster bellowed what has happened to my body it is so painful then the monster hurled something at them in the dark and the projectile hit the effigy that they carried in front of them and knocked it down Reiko and SUNA examined the object the monster had shot at them and they discovered that it was the broken tip of Reiko says award together they took hold of the creature and they began to drag it out of the cave and the monster put up a good fight and it was a terrible monster indeed strong enough to with boulders with its legs so Reiko said a prayer to the sun goddess a Montereau sue and asked her for aid with the fight Reiko in Suna pulled and pulled actually the monster collapsed and fell belly up on the earth without hesitation Reiko drew his sword and chopped off the monster's head soon Aranda slash chopin the monster's belly but found when he got there that it had already been opened by a deep gash this was the wound Reiko had given it inside the house when it was in the former if the woman in this proved that the giant spider truly was the beautiful woman that he had seen from the gas in the giant spiders belly one thousand nine hundred the ninety heads tumbled out onto the ground the warriors cut open another part of the spider's body and many smaller spider monsters swarmed out each about the size as of a seven or eight year old child when the warriors looked further in the stomach of the spider beast they found twenty human skulls knowing what had to be done Reiko in Suna dug a grave in the ground and buried the twenty skulls and then burned the giant spiders din when the emperor heard but Reiko and soon had done in eliminating this heinous monster that had been plaguing the country he gave them promotions and appointed them governors of their own provinces and this is the story of Moton no Raiko and the giant spider that is a fabulous story I love it I just like the the the layers of the adventure and then just the the revelation ends about the horrific monstrosity that they're faced with I like how it's weird and rambling like it takes a long time to get to the final form of the monster you don't really know where it's GonNa go it takes you to a haunted house I something about that feels both unusual and intuitive the so that they start off seeing the skull and I have to assume that I guess the skull was some form of the monster I don't know but but also like how in a lot of the monster slayer stories you come across there's a more specific reason that the that the hero must undergo the quest to slay the monster that they have to rescue a princess or something right this time they're just detectives investigating something weird that they saw eventually leads them into the monster's cave to kill it which also ultimately kind of makes you feel bad for the monster like it didn't even kidnap anybody they knew they just like made their way to it seems to be entirely recreational on their part yeah well I mean I guess it kind of makes them like a some kind of roving police force almost in a way or maybe they just needed the experience points I mean that it's true so this giant spider story comes from an early fourteenth century Japanese picture scroll called the Sushi Goumas Soci- and the version of the worry that I read is as translated by the scholar Dr Nuriko T- writer who you've referenced on the show before I think in our episode about cuteness and monstrosity ooh that would make sense yeah so so my version of the story I just told was based on her translation of this fourteenth century scroll and this is not the only legend `bout giant spiders in early modern Japan the Sushi Ghouma were earth spider was a common monster found in no plays and in supernatural narratives in the following centuries but there are also other spider monsters like the ONI which was sometimes described as like a giant spider with the head of a bull and it attacks fishermen at the water's edge and there's also the jurors Ghouma which is the literally the prostitutes spider and it's another ghost like creature that appears in the literature of the Edo period shape shifting like the Sushi Boom Oh between the forms of a beautiful woman and a voracious arachnids luring men to their deaths a classic trope of of monsters appearing as is desirable humans or even non human entities of course and you see that too in in the Sushi in the story where the spider monster appears as this beautiful woman in the House and distracts the swordsman with her beauty Just long enough to throw clouds white matter in his eyes who knows what that's supposed to be I don't know if I guess it's the Silk Right Oh maybe yeah I don't know it's supposed to be I mean it's it's described as literally like clouds it's hard to know exactly what is referring to it seems to be some kind of magical substance all right yeah so we're doing something a little bit different today than we usually do in our October assode where we love to focus on monsters today we wanted to take a look at the immortal enemy of our beloved monsters the monster slayer Yeah the thing that defines the hero other times there's not a lot to say about the monster itself except certain hero of note gave it a good slaying at some point yeah and it's almost as deep and as old as the monster mythology itself ride the oldest monster stories you can find when you go back in time very often are Mr slayers stories there's a monster and there's a hero who must venture out often alone or with a faithful companion to face the monster and destroyed Royat in the monster slayer archetype is actually classed as a particular type of like myth archetype the the the princess in the Dragon type story which appears all all over the world in different cultures in you know in the that's the very broad take you know that there's like a princess who's being held captive or being threatened by some kind of monster and a hero must venture out with courage and face the

Florida vs. Missouri football: Predictions
"Night. LSU defense can keep this game. Interesting at least four three three and a half quarters. The fact that Dave Aranda has two three guys that he knows he's confident in can cover in Maine demand situations will allow him to do some different things if he wants extra defenders on the back end to help take away some of the easier throws if he wants to bring some guys up and try to pressure he'll be able to do that. Now, it's going to hurt not having Devon white in the run game from physicality the leadership standpoint. But he's pretty good in coverage as well. He's a three down linebacker. So even if they go nickel dime. He's a guy. That's on the field. All the time. I think up front physically the LSU defense has to keep the game. Interesting as well. Finding pressure will be key in how many guys does Dave Aranda half to bring define that pressure.
Bloomberg Daybreak
President Trump, United States and Iran discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak
"Daybreak I'm John Tucker in New York with your global look ahead of the top stories for investors in the coming week still ahead apple and tesla lead more than one hundred forty companies reporting earnings but first let's head to our Bloomberg ninety nine one newsroom in Washington to see what items in politics and government set the top the agenda. Next week and for that we bring a Nathan Hager host of our politics, policy, power and. Law program. Aired weekdays At noon on Bloomberg radio Nathan John foreign. Policy will, top the agenda at least at the start of the week President. Trump welcomes, Italy's new prime minister Giuseppi Kante to the White House on Monday just days after that positive meeting on trade with European Commission president John Claude. Juncker we agreed, today first of all to work together towards zero tariffs zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsidies Or, non auto industrial goods thank you and Bloomberg news. Washington bureau chief Craig Gordon joins me now so Craig what are the expectations going, into this meeting with the new Italian prime minister I mean this is a lot more populous government. I would say then Europe is a whole right and the Italians of course their. Economies not exactly blooming right now so it's a tough you know could be a tough meaning, for this prime minister the meaning with Yonker was fascinating because a. Lot of tough talk on both sides and. Then we got word of a quickie sort of news conference came out to announce a deal. So right now I, think we're still trying to sort through what that deal means it seems like the Europeans agreed to buy some more soybeans and by some, more, natural gas the word in our stories, is they don't really need them anymore so, it means on natural gas from Russia so it's not totally clear what the bang for the buck is going to be on this I serve, American, companies but, Donald Trump shirt seemed happy and so happy that he was willing to, take off the table for now Leased his threat of point five percent auto tariffs from cars command from that part of the, world and also on the foreign policy front this week secretary of. State Mike Pompeo is heading back to Singapore. For the Ozzy on summit and Iran is expected to sign an agreement they're just as the. Trump administration is mounting, this new maximum pressure campaign against Iran yeah you're starting to think Pompeo should just get an apartment in Singapore Spend so much time there between the the Chem summit and and all of that but yes this is an important early needing the full Asia summit is. Not until November in that, part of the world but right now they usually have sort of pre. Meetings, with the, foreign ministers usually the economy minister Steve Mnuchin in the case of the United States would go to, these things so it will be a chance for. Pump hair to be in the room with a lot of Asian leaders who seem like they wanna cut a deal with Iran to have a more open relationship there, right at the very moment the. United States is is really trying to crack down on the Iranians obviously people remember President Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear, deal told, the Europeans are trying to hold that together then pretty tough, without the US that's for sure and then Pompeo, himself gave a, pretty tough speech essentially seeming to try to rally dissident groups inside Aranda to overthrow the government prevail stop just. Short of saying that but the message is. Pretty clear so perhaps a little bit. Of, awkward staging here where you have the the US leader in the Iranian leader kind of in the. Same airspace but you know, for other parts of the world Iran Kip provide oil it can provide. A, lot of, things and even if the United States is not so happy with the government there doesn't mean these, Asian countries don't want to do business with them. And of course like overshadowing just about everything here in Washington is the ongoing Muller investigation now we've gotten reports in the past week that Muller's now looking into President, Trump's tweets for possible obstruction and. Michael Cohen is looking more and more like he's ready to flip where does this go from here Yeah the developments. Of, recent vintage here are quite important this meeting between some members senior members of the Trump campaign and these Russian operatives is taken on a very big role we believe in. The Muller investigation remember what happened Some folks came and said they wanted to talk to the Trump. Campaign extensively about you know Russian children being are, moving to the United States, and the and that sort of thing foster children turns out they. Were, according to the reports offering to feed them. A negative. Information about Hillary Clinton the Trump campaign people seem to listen at least seemed open to the idea and they have always said that Donald Trump himself than the candidate now the. President did not know about the meeting Michael Cohen Trump's time. Lawyer and really personal sort of was now tells a different story that Trump in fact did know about the meeting and I only. Knew about it but, approved it so, that puts that whole meeting to a very different light. If the candidate. We're open to hearing about negative information about Hillary, Clinton, from Russians who. Boy. That gives rubber mother-in-law to work with that's Bloomberg Washington bureau chief Craig Gordon, and that is what's happening here in the nation's capital.
