Doug Sits Down With Former Congressman Jason Lewis of Minnesota
"Benson is with me to die. Well, and thanks for being a part of the podcast. It's amazing to have you with me. Well, it's good to see you again. You are a real leader in the 115 when I was in D.C., as vice chair, and it was a very, very good two years, the time of accomplishment. We'll talk about that. But if there were ever a time when we need communicators like yourself, it's now because we're a nation on the brain comic, right? Oh, very much so. In very much so. And I think that's one of the things that there's a two year and I won't call it a, an oasis, but there was two years, and you talk about the one 15th Congress. Was a time in which the Democrats were not happy. I mean, Trump had won the election. They were not happy, but they were still this idea. They were not sure if they were going to be able to flip the house. They still were in that mode 8 years. They were chafing under Pelosi a little bit, Hoyer and the rest. And you still had some who wanted to do a few things. And I'm a bipartisan stuff that I did criminal justice, which was actual real criminal just from not what we're seeing out there in these liberals. The first step, you have music modernization where we redid how, you know, songwriter stuff get played. We did a lot of protections. And then we as Republicans finally stepped up and did the tax bill, which was, you know, set up anybody, you know, should be our economy should be far better than where it's at right now under Biden. But then we also did have the healthcare issue. And I think that was one that we can talk about as we go, but it was a time. It's really the last time Washington got anything done. Now liberals will tell us Jason, you know, the Biden administration has been an legislative drug or not. You know, it's like, yeah, if you count partisan wins, don't you think that would be true? Well, look, as we've spoken before, these guys will put their pedal to the metal, and they know that they'd rather change the country than just change the Congress. So while Republicans are looking to polls and being afraid to say this or that, when we should be dominating this election cycle, Democrats keep passing bills, they keep basically doing these things that's going to make this a country in a state of Georgia that your parents wouldn't recognize.

Girl asks police to test cookie for DNA proof of Santa
"A young Rhode Island girl figures out how to determine if Santa Claus is real. DNA. The young crafty Cumberland resident sent a partially eaten cookie, as well as a couple of gnawed on carrot sticks to the towns police department to ask if they can be tested for DNA. Chief Matthew Benson says the note they got said, I took a sample of a cookie and carrots that I left for Santa and the reindeer on Christmas Eve, and I was wondering if you could take a sample of DNA and see if Santa is real. The chief says her evidence was sent to the lab, the charge could be failure to finish snacks, results are pending. I'm Julie Walker.

"Verbs rather than just infestation. Fiona Benson uses a lot of language that is uncomfortable. Ooze a fecal trail and near super rating food separating food rotting folder, food that's going rancid, then later on, then feed your pale brews secretions from your anus or your armpit glands like milk. The combination of language that is unusual or perhaps discomforting or disgusting to some, the combination of that with something like milk at the end of it is bringing us to the edge of questioning the experience of disgust, questioning the experience of not liking them and asking, what are you seeing? What is happening? Paying attention to the person who is experiencing disgust if that is your experience, as well as then the observing of this living being that she is praising in and of its own right. And then the final dedication of generosity because you would leave your body for your offspring to dine upon, all the liquors and gravy of the obscene world. Another word that is a complicated one obscene and liquors and gravy. I don't like thinking of anybody's body or of any body of an insect being liquor and gravy. But what is obscene? I don't think this poem is arguing for the cockroach's behavior as being obscene and the least bit. Perhaps human behavior, human disgust, or the ways that we act towards each other that don't correspond to this kind of self sacrificing love, perhaps that's obscene. There's such research and insight that's going to enter this poem and it stands as a challenge to ask, again, not to say, make your home a haven for them. But it does stand as a challenge to the age of human projection of

"This poem by Fiona Benson is one of a number of poems about or two insects that she has gathered as the first section of her latest book, and I love it. Mama cockroach, I love you. There's such exuberance in it. There are over 4000 different types of cockroach, and they're under the term blato deer, which is mentioned as the first word of the poem. I'm not the biggest fan of cockroaches, but I came to this with a deep interest to know what's she going to say. Broadly, the poem is a collection of ten reasons, because because there's ten magnificent becauses in the poem, I see that as a way that the poem is held together. And one of them is about the cockroach and community and other is generosity. One is about being joyfully promiscuous. One is about parenting and other about playing with your children. One is about loving being loved back. Another is about self sacrificing love and the final one is about mortality. There is such overt emotion in it. There's a deep naming of something I love you, but even before that mama cockroach, I've never in my life seen mama before cockroach. This is, I think, one of the functions of poetry is to do interesting things with language that make you think. I haven't seen this arrangement before, and therefore from that to allow your world to be recalibrated to be de familiarized and re familiarized into

"That, you know, and it's overwhelming and I would just recommend using this time off to go outside. You know, relax, you know, if we're in the office, because we are now split it between home and walk, spend time with colleagues, you know, and use that time to get to know each other better, to even, you know, even a more time to try to understand what we're doing, how does that correlate you know with what the company wants and because I really, when I was doing development role, I always was intrigued about, okay, I always what I'm doing correlates with what the business is trying to achieve. How do I help move the needle? So I think there's a lot to do to take all those machines and hardware away from a few minutes and spend time with each other. Yeah, I like that a lot. Personally, a massive fan of being outdoors and spending time away from a screen every day, even just a little bit. I find personally that it helps me to transition between tasks relatively well too. If I have a hard morning of work and I know I have a heart afternoon coming ahead of me, I like to plan in a half hour walk or even just sit outside and drink coffee, something like that to kind of reset myself. That doesn't actually do anything also as a team. You know, we will call it. We started early. Then most of the team goes, we'll go to the gym for an hour and hour and a half. And come back with so much energy. Definitely. Sure. Yeah, that's another one of those things that's hard to measure, but sometimes not doing work is the best thing to help you do more work, you know? Definitely. Yeah. So what's next for Ziggy? Do you have any upcoming features or projects challenges, things that you're working on that you're excited about? Well, you know, we have a very clear mission, which is to streamline and help us build together as a team. Each of us, based on their specific workflow and drive it all forward. So we definitely are going to add the missing elements about ci CD systems. Obviously, to really have a real to paint the full picture of our day to today work and as an individual and we're also starting

The '2000 Mules' Effect: Wisconsin Court Outlaws Mail-In Drop Boxes
"A big win for our side in Wisconsin. I call it the 2000 mules effect. It's a kind of indication of the movie and the movie is being vindicated on multiple levels now, the go beyond law enforcement taking the next step. That does need to happen, that seems to be happening in a few places, notably Yuma, Arizona. But the movie has effects in other ways. It motivates Republican lawmakers to pass better voter integrity laws. It fires up the GOP base to get out and be active in the 2022 and later the 2024 election. And here we see it influences the way that court decisions come down. Of course the left has been for a long time saying, well, there's not a single court decision to vindicate what Trump said in 2020. And it's true that in the immediate aftermath of the election courts were kind of allergic, they were like, we don't see much here or you don't have standing, and so there was an almost wall of judicial resistance, but now is these cases make their way through the courts and the courts begin to look more closely, what actually happened. So we all know that before the 2020 election, there were major efforts to change the rules by the Democrats. Shop around for a judge over here, an activist over there, a sympathetic democratic Secretary of State over here, and they would decide. Even though the law says this, we're gonna be doing that, even though the law says no drop boxes, we're gonna put in drop boxes, even though the law says you don't send out ballots without being asked for, without a request for a ballot, let's just go ahead and do that anyway. Even though the law says signature matching, if your joycelyn Benson, the Secretary of State of Michigan, you're gonna send out a notice to the election official saying, listen, don't be too rigorous about doing the signature matching. So all these shenanigans going on. The unleash of the electoral playing field I would call it. And all of this created the sort of necessary basis for 2000 meals, because I mean think about it. If you're a mule running ballots, the truth of it is that's not going to work if there's careful signature

"Bless the podcast. God bless this. Two hundred episode. Stand before me. Happy for me. Tom and craft let me talk. Hallelujah. All right. We're going to cut all this. Okay. Okay. So yeah, so just back to the 200th. It is very special guys and you know what? I'd love to hear stories from our audience. We do it on iTunes during the review that you put on iTunes that would be great. We do have our own instagrams and stuff like that. But if you guys ever think or send us something through Bancroft brothers on Facebook or on Facebook, we have a page there. It'd be great to hear your stories about, and we do hear that. We've heard over the years, people that were deeply affected by some of the interviews we've done or some of the hash it out kind of episodes that we've done, Tom. And I was looking at the ratings the other day actually with Keras, our new producer. We have writings. Yeah, there's some ratings out there, Tom. We don't talk about them. Who's treating us? We don't talk about rage. No, no. Because they're so poor. No, like favorite episodes and stuff. You can kind of go back and in the history and see which ones were listened to more or downloaded more. Oh, this is more like analytics. Yes, but okay. I like to come ratings as it makes me feel like they're more popular. What's more popular? But yeah, our most popular episodes, believe it or not, has been our hash it out. And I think it's from a marketing standpoint, it's because we actually put what the episode's about in the description. We do Tom and Tony talk about. Why I left LA that would be an example of one or we talk about the business of animation. And it's very direct. So I think we need to consider that when we're titling. But more than that, I think people want to hear kind of an inside track on a certain topic. How do I get into Disney, that kind of thing, which we've done an episode of one 52, that's episode one 52, if you're wondering, wow. And I don't know whether numbered, so I don't know if you'll ever find episode one 52, but it is, I think it is called how to get in Disney. Tony, I didn't know we had that title that was my title. I thought of a great clickbait title for this episode, with Jody Benson. We just swallow the whole 200th episode. We don't talk about it at all. We go, here's the title. Jury Benson didn't believe Ariel would be a hit. Or something like that. Because she said that in the podcast about how. Yeah. Wait, sorry. Even better. Jodi Benson was embarrassed to be Ariel. That's it. That's our clickbait title. That's true. She did talk about that. Yeah, that's a long one. That's very long. Let's work on editing that. Jodi Benson hated Ariel. No embarrassed. That was what she said. Embarrassed by Ariel. Yeah. Still get along. It's a long way. Voice of Ariel embarrassed by character. We'll work on that. We're going to workshop it. That workshop. Okay. Well, Tom, thank you guys. Thank you for being my partner for all these episodes, Tom. Tony, you're welcome. I mean, I've enjoyed mentoring you through the years. You've learned so much from me. Haven't you? Let me just say, it's been amazing to see your growth. I just want you to know that. I mean, it's been what? 50 something years. And not only did you grow in size in many ways. Oh wow. Wow. But first, and then Tony artistically, I got to see you grow and you went from coloring books and me going, no, use more than just purple. There's other colors, right? And then when we got to Cal art, it's just to see you really kind of blossom. Yeah. Where I was like, nope, that's the eraser side..

You know, Howard, when he creates his brilliance, it's, it doesn't really change because it's just so infused with how he can come up with it in the moment, but it's like solid. And when it's kind of birthed, it just lands. It's just amazing. So yeah, we did not. There were not a lot of changes on lyrics at all. Yeah. That's so fantastic. Tony. Amazing. Yeah. Jodi, we got to wrap up because we got to be conscious of your time even have much of it this morning. So thank you so much for doing this with us. It's been such a pleasure. I'm so thrilled to get to chat with both of you and really appreciate all of your listeners and your team and thank you so much for inviting me today to be part of this and happy mermaid. It's a wonderful month to celebrate it and I'm excited to be a judge and love seeing all the creativity, all the beautiful pieces inspired pieces of artwork that are bursting forth during this month. So I'm really excited. Thank you. Yes, and I'm sure you've heard this to death probably, but we are proud to have you as a part of our world. Thank you so much. I appreciate both of you and all of your listeners and your team. Thank you so much and God bless everybody. Thank you. Thank you. I have one last request of Jody. Quick story. I have a drawing that I'm looking at across from my desk right now. Ariel. Keen aerial drawing and Glenn has signed it, and it says two time keep animating from the heart, Glenn Keane. That is our sign off. We've since day one of our podcasts. We've signed off with anime from the heart. Can you say that and do our sign off? Yeah. Hey, this is Jodi Benson, the original speaking and singing voice of Ariel The Little Mermaid, and remember everyone, keep animating from your heart. I love you all. Tony, that was amazing. Are you crying? Are you crying right now? I mean, a little bit? Well, like when she said and just made it into a nice package, by the way, we gotta use that. But when she said our send off at the end and quote a Glenn Keane, they got emotional. That was just over the top moment and too much. Well, and for our listeners too, our longtime listeners, we actually got Glenn Keane to save that in episode two. So now we have Ariel and Ariel's maker, Glenn Keane, both said it, full circle. Full circle of life is what that was, and I'm just so thankful it happened. But there's nothing else Tom. There's no ultimate mountain to climb anymore with the podcast. So I guess this is it. It's over. Oh, I mean, no. No. No. Tony, we said at the beginning that this is a special edition and it was in that it was we had Jody bets and on. That was the best special, but let's get serious. This is our 200th episode Tony Bancroft. Our final episode. Now we are not finishing guys for all of you. And thank you so very much. We can't say nap time and I both for and our team to of kayala is our producer in the past, our new producer, Keras Calvert and Preston, earns two. Does our editing from all of us, the bottom of our heart, we just thank our listeners. We would be nowhere without you. We do this for you. And we do it for each other. I mean, Tom and I need to catch up more. We really do. So it's partly that, and also for you guys, we just love to share our passion about animation with people that are just as equally passionate. And that's you guys. So thank you. And we feel that love, especially when you go to Patreon and support us, we want to say thank you to our Patreon supporters, especially the ones that are just hung in there for so long. We've had many that have been on there for quite a while now. And they're just basically saying thank you. And by supporting us there, Patreon. And we want to do everything we can to be a part of that in your world. Part of their world get it. Mermaid. Yeah. And for those that go onto Apple podcasts, especially and give us a review. I read those Tony. I go there. Every day. And right after I Google search my name, I go over to Apple podcasts to try and see if there's any reviews. I do too. I mean, I do, and I get a lot out of, I mean, that's to me, that's where a lot of the encouragement has come from our audience is that, you know, we do hear from people when we go to conventions like CTN or lightbox or something like that. And people come up to us. And they're like, oh, I love your pocket. And that means so, so much to us. But when you read those reviews and you know that other people are reading those reviews and are encouraged to try the podcast because of those reviews, that means even more. So thank you. And please continue to if you haven't given us a review, maybe for the 200th anniversary that could be your present for Tom and I, we would love that. We'll put a little bow on it and give us a nice review on iTunes, the podcasts, you know? Cool. Yeah. I would like that too. I'd like to see new ones. Hey Tom. So let's be a little reminiscent here, 200 podcasts. I mean, this is almost what 8 years, I think we're coming out to about 8 years. I don't know how you do that math. How do you know when we started Tony? I have a wife who's got a really good brain and I'll ask her. She'll remember. That's how I figure things out too. And my wife, not yours. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Yeah, don't talk to my wife ever again. I will say that it's been a journey. And, you know, the hardest thing, this is a behind the scenes thing for the listeners is that the hardest thing is always our schedules. Because we are pretty active in the animation community. Tom and I take on way too much all the time. And I'm admitting it, Tony. I know I do. I know I do, because I do complain. You're at a next level now though, where it's like, oh, come on. You're doing it. You're going to Italy now, and you just started a company and I can't even start on you. If I start to open that Pandora's box, we'll be here the whole day, okay? Okay. But yes, we both need to. And I play better about I find the time for wordle at night. Oh my gosh, what are we seeing to do that? No, I don't. No, no, that's me saying no to something. Yeah, and it's something that I'm trying to work on more as being able to say no and have more time and just be more present and opportunities with friends and family and stuff. But going back to the pocket, it is really hard because we do have so many things going on to schedule. And then on top of it, to find, you know, Tom and I like to be in charge of who are we going to talk to? Who do we want to talk to? So we usually start the year with like a wish list, right? Of different people that we've always wanted to have on the show. We just crossed one off today. As a matter of fact, with Jodi Benson. That's right. We were trying to get her for a while and finally happened. And while we do know a lot of people in the industry and that's because we've been in it for so long. It is tough sometimes. We don't have an assistant that's like has a rolodex that's really deep and wide of like who to go to and where they are and we do things just like you guys do and connect with people on LinkedIn or we can connect on Instagram or through some kind of social media. We reach out to these people and thankfully they respond and usually they're a positive response..

So I really fun and getting to go and he was so excited to get to show me the different things in transition. Through the process of it. And then we just became really good friends and he and Linda, we just with ray and I and we actually just connected with a series of beer Bible study groups that they invited us to and then through that Bible study we met another couple that we became really, really good friends with. And just an incredible season of time with Glenn, which was not just as my animator and as a coworker, but as a friend. And become becoming involved in to the point where I lived with them for three or four months in their house and used to babysit their kids and take care of their dogs. And yeah, so during a course of events that happened, I crashed with them for those such a service. It's so well, they were just so gracious and kind to let me crash at their beautiful home. And I'm like, well, let me do something. Pay for anything. That had the aerial Yes. I remember that, yeah. So for the listeners out there, Glenn Keane had a custom made, I guess it was like a mosaic or something with little tiles and tiles. At the bottom of the swimming pool, you jump in, got dive in, and then you see Ariel at the bottom of the pool. I never saw it, but I you've never heard about that. So beautiful. Just an amazing home in his studio was absolutely incredible, and I used to obviously didn't want to bother him, especially since I was a House guest for so long. But he'd let me come in and peek as he was sketching for Beauty and the Beast and it was really fun and just amazing to watch him work that amazing to watch him as a husband and as a father. And just in a different way to have that relationship be so well rounded in so many ways, not just with work, but the personal connection and how they just meant so much to ray and I during that season and still do and so really, really, really special. And again, I feel like God just ordained that. It was just meant to be from day one. Same with Mark hen, you know? Yeah. We just connected and we still do. We are still in touch and he came and did this amazing event at scad Atlanta for McKinley. When he had one of his projects for the 30th anniversary Disney hired McKinley to put together a behind the scenes video, so he produced it, he wrote it, he directed, he shot it. And we did it in New York. And then so at the 30th anniversary stad had this premiere of his BTS, which was really cool. So our whole family came and then they flew Mark canyon and Mark and I did a panel together. You know, with my for my son. I mean, it was just really special. It was really great. So yeah. We're big mark in advance to, of course, use my mentor for many years at Disney. And we work together on a father figure for Tom and I at a certain time, for sure. We'll say father. He's just amazing. He's amazing. I feel so blessed to have both of these guys who, you know, not only love God, but just love and are passionate about what they do and their gift sets and then they're so they're so loving and kind and generous with everyone around them. To build them up to encourage them to press people forward, it's really amazing when I look back and I think, wow, God had that all figured out. You know, of the 400.

It's mermaid and at this sitting right now, it's the beginning of mermaid, but when this releases, it's going to be our last podcast, the mermaid, you feeling about things, predicting it in the future. It's may 2nd right now, as we record this, we just started, it's off to a great start. I can say that. And thrilled to have it going. And this is our 6th year. So yes, my thought is that hopefully this is going to be a really big year for us. We've only steadily grown 20 maybe being our highest because it happened right as everything shut down and everybody had nothing to do. But still had a really successful last year and I think this is going to be a big one too. And who better to celebrate mermaid to be a judge for mermaid? Than Jodi Benson, the original mermaid. Mermaids. Jodi Benson is on the show today, but before we get to Jody and we will introduce her. But she is a friend of both of ours. We've gotten to know her over the years. I have a great story. I'm going to tell him a little bit about Jody and me and my kids and stuff because we go back aways. That was a favorite. That was fun. And she's super sweet and we just adore her. So we're trying to get her on the podcast forever. Everybody get ready to fall in love with Jodi Benson. I know you already love Ariel, but you're going to find that Jody basically is Ariel. All the sweetness, all the cuteness. She's like Ariel grew up and became a sweet, sweet lady. And somebody that you want to be your mom and grandma in the future. She's basically Ariel and Ariel too, where it all has a daughter, or is that three? Yeah, she's, I think, I don't know which one it is. But yeah, but she does play. The mother figure, yeah. That's what you're saying. Well done. And she's Barbie too. You can't forget about that. I know my kids grew up with all the Barbie videos. But before we get to Jody, let me just say Tom, we have two wonderful sponsors. Who we love? Who are you adore? And we've got to mention sketch wallet off the bats. Sketch is a creation of Ralph Thomas, a good friend of the show. And he created a wonderful thing. It's a bill fold and a sketchbook put together, Tom. He's the world's greatest inventor, world grid. You know, after, you know, caveman made and even after the stone was carved to be a waitress city. There's electricity in the sketch wallet. And then Elon Musk came out with the electric car, the Tesla, that was pretty good. That's after sketch wallet. But that was after sketch wallet. So Elon Musk, you know? So why aren't you going to sketch wallet dot com and getting one of the greatest inventions ever created? They have an all different kinds of materials, leathers, and canvases and other things. And then all different sizes, too, from stuff that is just like a post it note size, all the way up to a pretty big, small sketchbook, you know, something you could fit in your back pocket. You're ready to travel as an artist with ideas that you can jot down at any moment. You can sketch people, you can come up with a character design. You got some, you'll never have you never be without elements that you can post something on Instagram because you can quickly do a little drawing, and then take a picture of it. Boom. On the go, you got something on Instagram too. If you want to show off a little bit, I love it. I love a sketch one. I got one myself and I like to travel with it. So get yourself a sketch wallet. Buy one for a friend, too. They make great gifts. Dog gone and Tom, I'm gonna draw a mermaid right now in my sketchbook. You should. And then after that, go and buy something over at Stuart and G books dot com. That's right, Stuart ng are good friend and longtime sponsor of this show. He's still there and he's out there running one of the best bookstores. I'd say in the world. Yes. I'm just gonna say it. Like, okay, forget Amazon. And he's probably pre Amazon. See, he's a great inventor too. So he's got online book business that he's been doing for years. Has all the best part of this stuff. That every artist out there is gonna want original sketchbooks you can't find anywhere else because he's tapped those artists at conventions around the world to find, hey, what's your newest sketchbook that you have out right now? Not to mention all the really cool art of books from Disney and stuff like that. But then he goes, oh, let's get them all signed by the directors and the key artists on the film. And he does that regularly. And then sells them not at a heightened price. It's amazing. I gotta say, we're getting back into convention season. Thankfully, and lightbox expo is going to be coming up soon. CTN animation expo. You know who's going to be there? Oh, both sketch wallet and Stuart NG books. And you and I, Tony. And us, we're going to be going to lightbox for sure will be there and let's meet up. Let's meet up all of us. All of us listeners, all of us now must meet up at Stewart and G books dot com at lightbox and drink a cup of tea together. Let's have it be like a strike. So we coordinate it and it's a big huge group and it just goes right to their booth and just inundates them with money. So much so that they can't keep up. And we ended up just I was going to say taking books. But no, we don't want to do that. No, no. That's right. I don't know where you're going with this, but let's back it up. But it's a strike. Go check out seward NG box books dot com or their brick and mortar and Torrance, check them out now. Thanks guys. And now Tom, yes, that's right. She is Barbie. She is Ariel, The Little Mermaid herself. This is our friend, Jodie Benson. Can I listen to that? I get applause in everything. Yeah, it was like an orchestra. We have a whole bunch of people behind us. It was like an orchestra. We have 7 listeners, Jody. So I want you to know that happened around the world simultaneously. With 7 whole people, absolutely. That was awesome. I feel really loved. I guess the part you've ever gotten, right? Well, here's the thing. Here's what I was going to do, Ariel Ariel. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. Yes. I mean, there is no one that is more well known as an animated voice, I think. You could argue does butler was Fred flintstone Robert. Nobody knows his name. No, blank. He was Bugs Bunny. But I don't know. Yeah, modern times. I don't think everybody more well known in associated with the character than Jody. So I got to ask you my first off question. How many people go up to you at a party and.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Understanding the Voices of Young Conservatives in
"Now, Tom, I am a big believer in holding up younger people. You're one of the younger people, but there are lots of people who are under 40 like Charles CW cook at the national guy Benson. Mary Katherine ham. The conservative movement has to regenerate from George William at Buckley and I daresay myself. I'm 66, right? I can't keep doing this forever. And I don't plan on it. So are you are you biased towards younger voices and how do you vet them for credibility? That's a fantastic question. So I think as we build in, I want both. I want to hear all the different sections because then we have both experienced and that kind of util creativity. But the idea of betting really, I suppose, we have a will have Kelly nyder, who was a college student who was almost physically attacked, actually, frankly, was physically attacked for trying to hold an event on her campus. It's a question of engaging, right? Emailing, talking on the phone, seeing the links to the profile and sometimes you know, you just you've got to roll the dice because this isn't someone who has written somewhere before, but ultimately that's the way it has to go.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Economic Truth in an Era of Financial Insanity With Dave Brahnsen
"There is no free lunch. It's pretty simple statement, but boy is it true? With us right now is someone who is author of a book called there is no free lunch. 250 economic truths. Dave Benson is with us right now. Dave, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. Hey, good to be with you, Charlie. So let's just kind of start with your book kind of set the table here. What do you mean there's no free lunch? I got free stuff all the time, free stimulus checks, like I mean, come on. No free lunch. Yeah, the kind of twofold truth here is a, it's never free for everyone. There's someone paying the price. And then I think the bigger economic takeaway, Milton Friedman, famously, you know, use this language was that there's such thing as tradeoffs. So it's not just that there's no free things like when you get a stimulus check or whatnot that someone's paying for it. That's all true enough when it comes to public policy, the way we want to view things as conservatives. But I think even economically, it's important to understand that to get something we want, we give up something we want. When we go to buy something in the store, we give them our money. It would be great if we could keep our money and get the thing we want. But economics is about allocation of scarcity. And so there's a really important economic point here.

"benson" Discussed on Sex With Emily
"What are you afraid of? These guys see you in a certain way. Like does it feel like you won't be lovable? No, like I do love myself. I do find myself very lovable. I think I just have a hard time. Showing the other side of me. It's not even on purpose. And I think discussing one of my soul episodes this month, I tried to explain it because I do try to better dissect and understand it and I think it has to do with my whole growing up, I felt invisible and not the cool girl, not the pretty girl, and it took me a long time to kind of get into my looks and get into my confidence. And now I'm finally there. The confident person. So I think I have a hard time to act more vulnerable because it makes me feel like I'm going back to that girl who felt invisible and I don't say you're equating sort of vulnerability and dating with the girl that didn't feel hot growing up. Yeah, the girl that felt invisible, which I know it's on your head because I recall a while back and went out with this guy who I grew up with. And I told them how, when we were growing up, I felt like him and his friends never noticed me. And I was so invisible, and he was just like, we did notice you. V that's in your head. That's how you felt. And it completely agreed because I think a lot of the time, it doesn't matter how you look, how much you work out or the die you're on. If you don't feel good about yourself when you enter a room, then no one else is going to notice you. When you walk into a room and you're confident that everyone notices you. And I've learned that. That's why I try so hard to constantly be this person. And I'm not always that person. So I here's the thing, what I love that you're saying is that you've worked through such great proof here to show that there has been so many ways that you've had success. And you didn't know all about business, but you had to, you had to make it happen. I want to say fake it till you make it, but you had to work really hard. You worked really hard to be confident and walk into the room and have all its success. And so now if I told you that actually being real and vulnerable in a relationship is a practice. So maybe let this show and this new almost adulting, part of that, I think, for you is going to be like, it's okay to say that this is like the turning point. You're not going to date the guys who you know, this guy that you're ending. You're like, I knew he wasn't the one. Let's say that that doesn't happen again. Maybe I'll have another one or two times, but maybe you're looking for the guys that you can say to them, this is new to me. This is something I'm practicing right now. I'm all these things. I'm hot violet. I'm confident this is my home. I fucking bought it. I've got this business. I'm really good at all these things, but relationships is my new edge. Relationships is my new thing. I'm actually want to be vulnerable and I want to commit and I want to be in it, but I'm going to learn. And so I might run away. I might not call you back. I might say things that might turn you off right away, but I'd like you to check in with me and say, when you said that yesterday, did you really? Now this takes maturity in a man. I think so too, because who's going to stick around if you just have a whole layout. Okay, so on Monday, sometimes I get a little scared. And you may not hear from me between two to 5 business days. On Tuesdays, I'm a little quirky, so that's the best time for you to call me. Wednesdays, though. Not the best. So maybe wait a few hours. Wait till evening time to contact me. Thursdays are best to go out with me. Those nights are and I would love that. To me, I would sign up for this right now. Then I won't fuck around calling you on a Monday to Tuesday and wondering why you don't call me. This is the thing. We have all the answers like the violet Benson operations manual. And if you could share that with someone and say, as soon as I wake up in the morning, I do that with my partner too, and I'm like, I might say this, but I don't really mean it. If I say to you, I always calm down. I'm like, listen, last night when I'm all the time I'm doing this. Last night, when I said, I didn't really want to come over. It was more like I wasn't sure that you really needed me to come over or you wanted me to go like, I fucking do that. That's hot. So true, there's so many times I'm like, or even the partner I was with, they would sell me get up to leave. And I'm like, oh, okay, did you want to go and they're like, no, I just assumed, because you said you said I have work after this. I just assumed that was my cue to leave. And I'm like, no, I just meant I've worked in a couple of hours, but we can still hang out. And he's like, oh, okay, sorry, and it's like, we always figure out how easy it is. So easy. And then most of it's with text or messaging and it's all off, so I think that the practice is just saying like, this is going to happen. It might not be that open, I might not be as clear, but I want you to check me on these things. You can say that on the first date. I think that we are trained to think that we're supposed to be perfect in any that would be awkward or weird, but if you do something to the guys like, that's weird, I don't want to what if I want to talk to you in a Monday, not your guy. Because you will find the people that'll be like, oh, I'm so relieved to know that. It's hard for me to show that side, but also last year when I was doing my two try to be crazy podcast, it was so focused on dating relationships, and I was reading so many self help books, so many dating books, so many relationship books, like watching so many ted-talks nonstop because I wanted to be knowledgeable enough to give the dating advice. So I started to feel like a walking dating textbook and it got even harder for me to date and I was also so drained and exhausted from it. I think that's another reason why it's only I felt like I had to be this perfect person when it came to dating because all I did was give advice about it. And that's one of the reasons I suddenly towards the end of last year, I decided to take a break from the podcast and change the whole structure of my podcast right now because I knew that for my own sanity and mental health, I just can't do dating every day because then I struggle. But it's also hard I think when you do what we do for a living, a lot of times people don't realize that it's just like the way they are actors on TV who are playing a role, we are characters as much as we're real, I am in control of what I put out into the world. And I'm a control freak. So there's a specific character of me. Most people see only one side of me unless they dig in and listen to my podcast or see all my sides, they'll see my vulnerable sides. But the point is I would the lifetimes I've noticed sometimes it's hard to date men because they have an idea of me. And sometimes it gets scared that the men who go out with me, they're going out with me because I want to go out with the idea of me, the version of me, the daddy issue girl, that they have in their head versus who I really am. So sometimes I meet someone, even friends, and I'm kind of like, which version of me, did you fall in love with that I need to be right now? I think it's all being all of these things. And I think that we're all all of these things. I think right now, this is what we're talking about..

"benson" Discussed on Sex With Emily
"Of the hilarious and ever viral Instagram account, daddy issues, violet Benson is the host of the former tutar to be crazy podcast and the forthcoming almost adulting coming soon. Fighter and Twitter and Instagram at daddy issues or at violet Benson on Instagram. We've done a lot of interviews together. We've been together. We talked a lot about sex and relationships and dating. So I texted you when I said, what do you want to talk about? What's going on with violet Benson? I haven't really seen you in person two years. And you said to me, you're done with dating. Number one, I would like to take a break from dating men. Okay. Would you like to date other people? Are you dating in general? I think I want to take a quick break for a second from dating in general. Technically I feel like I'm always dating, but I think I was I'm constantly drawn to people that I know are not right for me or people that I'm looking for probably casual things with them. And then I get upset when they agree to the casual stuff that I'm kind of like, I mean, I wanted it, but why do you want it? Maybe you don't want the casual. So it sounds like, yeah, I think I secretly don't want the casual, but I also have a hard time being vulnerable and getting clothes. It's like the anxious attachment style. Which I am too. Yes. Yes, exactly. And I just think it's hard to be open and to kind of say I might want something more because what if they don't? A, it's hard to find someone you can connect with, I struggle with that. B, I'm very busy and see and this has been recently a conversation that I have with my mother. It didn't work out to me in some guy, which it was never even that serious, but to be honest, I kept him at arm's length, but maybe that's also me blaming myself like he wasn't my person. How do you know he wasn't your person? I mean, I knew I literally was planning it to be very casual this person. I kind of set it up front. I think sometimes I say stupid stuff just to see people's reactions and I think sometimes it's just build up a wall around me and then I just assume people break it down and then they don't. And I think I'll say things and then I get surprised when those other people pull away because it's like, well, the human being. So obviously if I'm like, I don't look at you as someone I can date or this and that, then what do you expect? They're going to that's kind of your pattern. If you know you, you throw things out there that are. Yeah, to see the reactions or how people will handle it. And then when they start to go along with exactly because men are very simple, we forget. So when they start to go along with what you decided, then I can get upset like, well, this and that. And I don't know. Tell us a little about your mom. This is really good. So basically the other night, I started to feel sad and I have a hard time admitting when I'm sad, but my mom has told me that I need to be better with communicating and I've been working on it. So I called my mom and I was just like, it didn't work out with this guy and she was so happy because she did not like him for me anyway. Not to mention it was I kept a very casual. I kept it in arms like, but he decided to go with someone else and then he told me about it out of respect. Basically, I didn't even really like him. So it was silly that I didn't even care about. I was just like, fuck, like, mom. I just feel like I'm so good at everything else. Like I'm so good at figuring out business, getting all these degrees, like buying this home, and I'm like, how can I do everything else, and it's like, no matter what I do, I feel like I always fail. I love and I feel so embarrassed and she was just like, don't feel embarrassed, but she said, can I tell you something about you getting offended? And I said, sure, and she goes, you constantly have a thing where you pretend to be someone else all the time. And if you constantly pretend to be someone else all the time, then you can be upset when you feel like nobody knows who you are. Because I as my biggest problems, I feel like, oh, people don't get me and all that. And I was just like, oh, you're so right. That makes so much sense. And I do have a hard time where I constantly pretend to be perfect. Whether it's with guys, like, oh, what is this guy like? Oh, he likes a girl that's as much as I try not to be a pygmy girl. It's my daddy. She's like, oh, he likes a girl into music. Sadly, I'm so into music, or oh, he likes a girl that's funny and quirky telling him funny and quirky. And my mom was like, you know, how you are around me and dad sometimes. You're just like yourself and your dorky. Or even when you're feeling sad right now or when you fail, like she's like, that's more you and I think people don't see that side of you. So some of it's probably hard for some people to date you or to be around you because it's like this person is so perfect. And like everything she does is a success and she holds herself to such a high regard that's almost hard to compare to it, or whatever. And I was like, you're so right. But I also do that on my podcast too. I can come off overly cocky, 'cause I want everyone else to be confident and I don't always feel confident, but I know that if I keep pretending that I'll eventually feel confident. So.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Union Leaders for ‘Chaotic Conduct’
"Okay, let me play for you the most important things that happen yet. Chicago school, teachers went out on strike, the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot said this. Cut 16. Enough is enough. We are standing firm and we are going to fight to get our kids back in person learning. Period, full stop. I hope it's period full stop. I don't believe her. She hasn't issued the patco threat that Ronald Reagan did. Do your job or lose your job? Come to work or don't ever come back to her. Lori Lightfoot only said, we're gonna fight for that. She did not threaten the teachers with discharge. Again, play it. Cut number 16. Enough is enough. We are standing firm and we are going to fight to get our kids back in person learning. Period, full stop. All right, I hope that's correct. Guy Benson, who's on special report with Brett Bayer last night, expanded on the silver lining to the Chicago teacher union strike. Cut number 15. To go to have the president go to Chicago and stand by Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. Some people are saying, maybe that is a good thing for him to do. All right, for him to say something as opposed to having other folks say, oh, the president's been clear. He'd like to see schools open. Stand up, mister president. To these political allies of yours and tell them to get back into classrooms and stop harming children. Look, if you did that, that'd be good. I would give him one cheer, not two or three. Same with mayor lightfoot. I'm glad some Democrats are finally saying these things. The problem is these are the politicians who have coddled and indulged and enabled exactly these types of really abuses for the last year and a half flying in the face of science. These teachers unions have learned that they can get away with these things and to belatedly try to catch up to public opinion and finally acknowledge the science here is better late than never, but still not particularly impressive, I would say. That's the issue that Democrats are facing. The one silver lining Brett in my view, and it's hard to find one because kids are hurting as they have been for two years, is that some of the things that conservatives have been saying about teachers unions and school choice have basically been amplified playing out in a two year long infomercial, and this is extremely high profile and maybe some parents and some leaders will wake up.

At GOP Gubernatorial Debate, All 5 Candidates Suggest Biden Didn't Win
"Here's the question that's caused many stories to be written cut number 16. I'll be giving you doctor Jensen before we look forward to it back to the election of 2020. And you're paying it in President Biden win at the constitutional majority of the Electoral College. If yes, I would think of it as your conclusion. And if you know what you see in which states people and why. Okay, now we're not going to play the whole thing. I just wanted you to hear the question because I repeated it a number of times. I think four out of the 6 candidates and the question is exactly, I want to make sure I say it the right way. Did President Biden win a constitutional majority in the Electoral College? If yes, how definitive is your conclusion if no, please explain which states you think are in dispute and why? All 6 of them sidestepped it, though senator gazelka answered, we use the Electoral College. One and senator Benson said on the only time I followed up on a question because she didn't answer the question the first time around was he was certified. I think that is an unusual answer for all 5 of them to give, perhaps it wasn't the first question the first question was why are you the most electable candidate? And mine was the second question, but we had a rule no follow-ups, and we add a rule I did too, and then John and Kyle didn't want each and then I did too. And then they did what that sort of thing. So I kept to it, but it is drive written a column about it, which will come out tomorrow about how I would answer it, but I'm not running for any office. It's not really up to me to answer it. I think Joe Biden won the election. I think rather clearly that there is one state much less the three or four that must be in doubt anywhere. And there was never any state in doubt anywhere in a traditionally cognizable way. So President Biden is President Biden. But I'm very alarmed by the improvisations that were made in voting rules, and I am very supportive of making it easy to vote and hard to cheat in 2022. That's the answer. Takes less than 75 seconds. That's my answer. It's not the answer. That wasn't their answer, and launched a thousand

"Coming at you at 15 period street. Thank you guys again for listening to mentor for military. And if you like the show and you want to contribute, make sure you go out to our Patreon site at PAT reo in dot com slash minters, the number four MIL, we'd appreciate any kind of patron and donor donation that you can help us with. I'm here with my sidekick, Paul Martinez. Hey, how you doing? And we also have a co host, mister Jason belford again. Hey, how are you doing? So today's guest in I wrote a book and it's called the enemy inside me and brandy Benson, I just want to say how much I appreciate you coming on the show because we can't wait to talk about this is a very important topic. So thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for having me. You were introduced to us by Chelsea at 107 foundation. If you're not familiar with hunter 7 foundation, go check them out. We're going to get into a reason why. I was hard to say the reason why, but I think it'll kill the whole topic of what we're getting ready to talk about. But it is an important factor. It is something that all veterans should be very much aware of. And we had a little sidebar conversation before you got here earlier this morning with Jason about this very topic. So him being on active duty is really important that he understands a lot about this as well. So brandy, I started to ask you about where it is that you came from, and I thought it was Illinois, but we were talking offline. It was actually Miami, right? No. California. You were worried about it. You were in San Francisco. And then you moved to Oregon. Correct. All right. So where did you join the military in Illinois? So where did that happen? That happened in, I think it was 2008 is when I joined and I was living I was living with my sister, she was married at the time to her ex-husband and he was in Great Lakes. So we were in a navy, navy housing there, but my sister ended up joining the military before I did and I felt like I needed to do something with my life. I think I was 23, my sister was like 18. You already had your degree at that time frame? No, no, no. So I was in college. And my whole goal was to go become an officer, join the military, then put my sister so I decided to jump the gun sooner, and she wants to go and I'm like, you know, I have to do something. I can't just be doing nothing. She's going to have a jump start in her career. She's going to be working. She doesn't have all these great things. So I was like, I'm going to join the military and I originally wanted to go in the air force. I know, guys, sorry. I went to go in the air force. All right, at least I looked at an entertainment. Yeah, I did. I was like, that might be the safest branch because then you know Iraq was going on and all that stuff was like maybe that would be the safest one. And housing is better quote unquote. So I was like, I'll just go there and maybe something good would happen out of that. And there was a long waiting list for like 6 months and I was like, oh, God. I can't wait, so I was walking past and an army recruiter came out and was like, hey, I can get you in by Wednesday. I was like, what? It's like sign me up. Oh, signed up. My mom was pissed. I mean, I was upset. I was a recruiter at one point and most people who listened to this podcast know this. But anyway, most of our air force recruiters next door, they always had like a 6 month or 12 month. Usually he had his quota for the next year, nearly at the point of which he was coming into the year. He was like, oh dude, I'm already got 6. I'm already out to June and stuff, and we're like, we just made this mine. I mean, we got lucky that we actually closed it out. We're not even thinking that far ahead. So that's exactly what we would do is we'd wait for somebody to go down there and you could see they'd have their head down walking away and be like, come over here. And that's what we do. And that's what they did. They had me sign some paperwork and what was it that you talked about going into it as far as the air force, and did you get the same kind of thing in the army or were you even thinking about an occupation at that point? You just wanted to go into the military. I was just trying to get out. Okay. It was like there was no destination or goals or anything. I was like, whatever I can get, I just need to go. I was like, I was feeling left behind. Yeah. My sisters already went to her basic training went to her graduation. I was like, I got to do something. This is not good. Well, I had that she was in, but how much further ahead was she then? Just the fact the training. Believe it was like 7 months. Okay. It's 9, 7 months or something? It's not too much further ahead. Not too much, but I mean, we're kind of competitive, so. Yeah. I was like, this is just not gonna work. Yeah, it'd be good, so. So you end up going to fort Jackson for basic training there. Basic training. Yep. My mom was very unhappy that I signed up. She did not want me to go. She thought that mom's always know everything, of course. She thought that we would get deployed at the same time. And I was like, why would that happen? Why would the army deploy two siblings at the same time? And I was like, that's just impossible. You ever watched Saving Private Ryan? I should have watched it and I didn't. It was just not a good thing. So she didn't want me to join that movie. Very popular. And I thought, you know, I've watched a couple times. I didn't think about it then. But I just so the whole point of me joining was to have some sort of stability and a foundation where I knew that we wouldn't be abandoned again because that's why I joined the military is because my stepped out ended up leaving us with all the bills, three dogs, and my sister and I, my mom, we were like, so poor, we couldn't afford anything. We had no money. So the military was like, if I could just get into the army or get into some sort of branch, I would never have to be or worry about that ever again. And that was for the entire family. So something happened to my mother. You know, you can come stay with me, something happened to my sister. So vice versa. So that's the whole point of us joining. And we ended up just sticking on that. Yeah. So what MOS was it that you went into? Oh gosh. I hate when people ask me this. Okay, so. I joined. Okay. It's like a fool. Preparation thing here. It's like, oh gosh. So I was really moved and thought the money was great, so there was a bonus for a 92 golf, right? A cook. Oh. I know, but I didn't want to do it, but it was $30,000. And I was like what's wrong with that? I mean, it was great. So I did it, but I feel like that's not what I should have ran towards the money, but you were a chef. I was quote unquote, a chef, right? So I didn't do much cooking, though, but did you ever get into pastries or anything like that doing? I had a very negative experience while I was with my leadership. It wasn't very pleasant. So anything that was probably like an easy task or something that would maybe bring you joy or something. I don't know. They made sure I wasn't a part of that. So I didn't really do any pastry stuff. I was always working really hard. I had tough tough leadership on me. They were not very great. Wow. You know, I mean, listen, all the army installations that I went into.

And certainly two thousand. One it's just. As soon as i saw in college. They released it in the seventy s. When i was in college and the mid to late seventies and i went to this theater and so they had it in seventy millimeter. Which was stated your. At that time. I went to see at once and i go. I gotta seat again this way. And i've seen it and then i was just totally engrossed in the movie and like the making of two thousand and one. I had to find out how they did it. I loved it. I mean they did. Some of the special effects in an abandoned corset factory. I love stuff like that. But it's a great movie. And i found out what everything was shot. And how they put everything together and how the actress came on the project and everything and it's the movie still holds up incredibly. Well you know it's yeah there's no moonbase in two thousand one but but still it's really more of a first contact story told in a way that we've never seen before a very sort of some people interpreted it to be very religious film. Kind of just depends on how you look at it. You know you interpret aliens or are they got or what you know you know it. Just it he left it up to the audience to decide you know what is movie about. Oh yeah and then. That's the brilliant. I mean people have different Ways of of seeing it absolutely. That's actually interesting because if you look. At hearth saint clark's novels a lot of his seat themes almost border on religious terms. It's really interesting so he was able to do that in such a way. In in couch in science fiction that really made it so different and provocative. I really liked the way he wrote. And you know they're both gone unfortunately and But the movie still holds up. And i would love to see them re release it on the big screen again and really do it up again. It certainly deserves. They did in two thousand one. I know i know that. Yeah they even had birthday parties. I think in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine for how so in her von illinois made a big deal. Ask her banda. Excuse me but you know it was great and oh twenty ten just forgot it just. I felt bad for for peter. Hi to get kind of caught back.

"In the theater when they first came out. Yeah me too. He's always going be bond to me. Well there's something about cold finger. Coach i think is always be to me. Quintessential pod movie. Yeah it probably will be you know it. It kind of nailed the formula. Did it ever. And they've kind of just been repeating it ever since however it's not my favorite bond movie. I mean it's one of them but I actually prefer Dr no and from russia with love really before that. Oh cool just because they were a little harder i mean they were a little rough around the edges. They weren't they were a little. There were finding their way still. And i just thought they were more true to the books not as fantastic. You know Not as not as out there you know not not not. The tongue was into the cheek is much. That's true that's true now. I liked it. And actually i thought the second the second one from russia with love the that one was great. Because i mean that's the orient express that was a lot of espionage. Takeover plot. Good cold war thriller absolutely. Yes it is. Yeah yeah and then of course. Yeah yeah i mean she was like one of the first really out there bonville but she wasn't that far out which which made her made her believable and she was very perfect for the part. Yeah really was Whose wife she was who she married to hurt. Vile no kidding. That's the original threepenny opera. And wow look talent breakfast. Yeah i do have. A fondness appears prisident. high thought. Well i thought he was a good bond. Yeah he was. It's to be honest. I'm not a popular choice. The only bond. I had a problem with roger moore. I'll tell you the truth. I need to but that's you know i think it was just the direction that the films went in that period. They they made them comedies instead of thrillers. And you know rogers personality and the style with which he plays the character just kind of fit in with that set way of presenting bond. And so you know for a little over ten years. Yeah we had the bond comedies people would ask. We would talk for among friends. Or whatever and i would say. He's he's doing the saint as james bond. I'm sorry that's the way. I used to look at the rest. I think he brought something really interesting to the part. And i'm very happy with the way things are right now and looking forward to the new film in november. I think that's gonna be really good too so they seem to bring in. Martin campbell's the reboot guy and they got him directing the first one and i think they're going to bring good directors that are really going to keep to series going in the right direction. Now so. I think that's one of the things that you do. And i love this magazine. It's right for cinema retro. You contribute to them to me as far as movies about sixty s. I've never seen any magazine. Covers it as well as they do. Oh thank you Yeah cinema retro a lot of fun to work for It is a magazine published three times a year out of britain. And it focuses. Mostly on movies of the sixties. And seventies not exclusively. But that's kind of where our audience is aimed as the baby boomers Because you know we all kind of think. The best movies were made in the sixties in the seventies. There were some classics the classics made during that time. It's hard to argue. That really. And i have a a regular column. That appears in every issue where i picked my favorite movies of of a particular year. Craig i love. Then i also now and then all interview somebody or write an article too so i think my last interview was with john phillip law. Who just real recently. I heard yes. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah he was probably his last interview. We didn't know it at the time. Sure very in depth interview about his work with you know. Ray harry housing and he was sindbad and one of the harry. How he certainly was the blind guy. Ain't blind angel and barbarella was He got his start. Basically and the russians are coming. The russians are coming movie. Yeah yeah so he. He was hot stuff. In the late sixties early seventies puck and lift actor and then he You know he went to europe and started making movies in europe where he remained very popular in europe. So you know he. He was always working now a very cool. I mean yeah. I've always liked same bad. Actually i thought he did a fine job. Yeah my favorite sindbad movie to ray area. The golden voyage the golden voyage. Yeah that's one of mine original one. I kinda liked a lot to you. Know it just had a lot of the cyclops and all that stuff the dragon. I mean those were cool things and all the things that are being done right now are of like the children of harry housing with with digital animation. They wouldn't they wouldn't be doing it if people wouldn't accept it if it weren't for what ray did. Yeah it's really amazing. How he how he really really did something. That really changed the industry and now. Cgi changed again. But that's salako more with the metal gear solid author raymond benson. In just a moment. There is a great magazine. And i just got the latest issue. I love when they do sci-fi things and they just did a feature on a movie called journey to the far side of the sun. Right with with roy innis. Which remember that movie. I i saw a two and it's a very under appreciated film. You know really is. I really liked it and i'm glad they did something on it. And whenever they do anything related they really do. They really do it well. So it's really cool well being type person Saw af is Top ten list. That came out last week. Yes i did. Yeah sor- fine the list. I always pay attention to are the top box office of time. And i look at that list and i see this sci fi movies that are on there and you know it time always seems to really be the ultimate judge of things. So that's what. I look at the way i look at box office. Hit does not always translate into good movie. That's true that's true But i think you know if i are doing pretty good job of picking the good movies please. That two thousand and one was number one. It's kind of hard to beat that one. it really is. It really is hard to beat. It's my favorite movie of all time. Hey i have. Actually i have. It's always a toss up between that and citizen kane. Well citizen kane up there but yeah two thousand and one really changed my life when i was thirteen when it first came out. Yeah you know if you saw it. In the theater god yes. It was just a life changing experience. it really was. It was incredible. You know you had not seen anything like it before and probably didn't say anything like it again for ten years nine years later that star wars came out Nothing in between was even close. You.

It's great to talk to you and be on the show. I really have enjoyed your work in the past. And i'm really happy that you're involved with not the novel that you did a novelization for metal gear solid. I think the challenge of that is huge. Essentially you're taking a video game and making it into a novelization form. How did that project come together. And how did you attack. well All thanks for having me on the show secondly to answer your question I was I was approached by Hideo kojima enough who designed the original game He apparently had a short list of authors. That he wanted to do it. And i guess he was a pan of my bond work because it had been published in japan and he He konami and delray. The publishers us had an agreement together to do the books so They asked me. If i'd be interested and i thought about i sure why not you know. I was somewhat a fan of the game My son played it all the time. You know i would watch him play. It and i was interested in a video game designer. Well a computer game designer back in the late eighties and early nineties. So you know it wasn't a completely foreign medium for me Now i had already written some movie novelization. In fact i am i. I'm a one of the founding members of the international association of media tie in writers which is an organization of writers who do a lot of novelization b. movies or tv or games. or whatever. And so i you know there is a there is a a forum to it. There is an art to doing it and It's it's not an easy thing to describe. I mean i would just say that A lot of its intuition. A lot of it is taking the source material laying out in front of you and breaking it down into what would basically be chapters of the books and the gone from there. Now you use to the this is based on the nineteen ninety eight storyline of the game. That came out at that. Time right the first game. Okay so So that must have been easy. At least you're not you know trying to tie everything together. Up to this point i would. That would take more than one novel. Obviously all right yeah. Yeah the planet that there hopefully will be a series of novels. We're talking about doing the second one. Now which is called sons of liberty. What amazes me is that nobody has done this as a film yet. Well i think they're probably talking about it. I don't know. I don't know what konami is plans. Are they kind of keep it close to the vest. But i'm sure that they're they're probably thinking along those lines you happy with the way things turned out after it was all done. Yeah you know it's it was fun The characters are interesting. And engaging it's you know it's very I mean it has a very much a sort of japanese mangled kind of sensibility to it. the characters are kind of fantastic with lots of Sort of extra extra abilities. And you know i just had fun with it. And i you know as long as konami and the publishers were pleased. And i'm pleased. He were intended to try to steer which stay away from that. You pretty much decided to embrace that part of what they came was. Yeah yeah absolutely and and you know. I was pretty had to be pretty faithful to the game. I couldn't go often to into uncharted territory or anything. Any new stuff that i added to the book was had to be approved of course by kojima sons. So everything in it is has gotten the seal of approval by by the man themselves. So it's it's official with the canon the canon piece go well they may convey saints cannon his cannon so there you go that's awesome so so this time you are planning the second one. Have you gotten the green light for that yet. Well we're they're they're sort of negotiating with the and And i guess you know. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and sounds like it's going to happen but you know i can't really say for sure. Does anything can happen. But i'm pretty sure it will. Will you be doing all the series or are they going to bring you know okay. I don't know it's just doing them one at a time so you have a hard day's death i. There is something appealing to me about. Kind of like a rock and roll investigator kinda p. I kinda liked it. Yeah well that that's a much more closer to the to my heart. It's a much more. I mean it is a it's mine. It's an original sure novel. Yes spike barringer the rock and roll. Detective is he is a guy who runs a security firm in new york city for Rock and roll and the like. But he's also a private eye. And i've skewed the rock and roll world to be a very dangerous place. So there's lots of murders and kidnappings in black mailings and illegal downloading and spike has to sort all of that out doesn't sound too far from the truth and you know he. They're the real rockstars you know. We'll make cameo appearances all through the books. And i've already written the second one cool. It'll it'll come out next spring. It's called dark side of the morgue nice and you have Have david bowie and john lennon making an appearance.

Very, very good thing quicker. We get people vaccinated. The bird is this afternoon We signed the final contracts for 100 million more Moderna. 100 million more.

And that would be a win. But you could have all you want. You're gonna make sure critical mask it Vaccinated. And the ones that don't understand the risk and they got the big thing is Making sure that people decide I don't wanna get vaccinated. Some people there. They just can't. They've got allergies. It just can't be done. That's a small percentage. But for the ones who are you're going to get the ones who are vaccine hesitant. They're curious. They probably will. But they're not going to do it right now. They're not going to do it at a stadium. They're not going to go to some gymnasium.

We just watched one of the tournament games and we were getting ready to watch another one and we were hungry. In our game was until the next day. And, uh, we went out and there's this like little burger place. We bought it, but we got a burger. It was the grossest thing ever were like it's horse meat. I mean, I don't know. It was just like what happened. We were starving. We turn the corner and there was a McDonald's. Comfort. Like, Oh, I know that. I know those I know that. I know. I know that.
