"Cobbler. I mean, the Greek seat that way, so yeah. Well, let's look at that. Let's look at the stars, Charlie. What does the week ahead hold for us? And which astrological signs need to be paying attention to what? So this week is actually quite interesting. There are some big secrets that are going to be revealed. And this is kind of especially pointing towards the earth signs. So Taurus Virgo and Capricorn. It may even be that this kind of big secret revelation comes through the initiation of a Capricorn. My advice to all capricorns this week would be exhaust every possible option that you have before planning this revelation or revolution, whichever one that you're going to be involved in. So that's good. I hear the size that for you sharing. What you do is all you do is a Capricorn is work tirelessly in the hopes of some future achievement that never comes. And now you have to make as capricorns, you have to shove that aside to make room for a giant revelation that's going to it's a bunch of people off if you don't do it just exactly right. Am I understanding that correctly? You've got the nail on the head there. And it's definitely for all three signs all three earth signs but Capricorn are going to find themselves in the center, basically mercury moving into Capricorn is going to give every cat for corn, the right to probe for the truth, talk about the truth, or even find out a truth themselves. All of this kind of happens under the planet Neptune as well, which is a hazy and indirect lack of boundaries. It's my summertime planet, if you will, where we kind of let go of inhibitions and we have that extra Mac and cheese, or we have that extra hour in bed or something. And this goes direct this week. This planet affects a particular generation. So I'm talking about those born between 19 56 and 1972. You're going to be seeing some big moves and gaining positions or on the flip side, some kind of harsh reality checks in wellness and work. Everything is wellness and work right now. For Ed, especially for these earth signs. Oh God. So work is killing us. We have a toxic secret. You know what? And the good stuff over and hand me the message mashed potatoes. Let me just take myself out. Oh my God. How about is there good news for some section of the zodiac? Yes. Even though secrets can be kind of daunting. This one isn't necessarily daunting. It's a big clearing out of something. It's maybe something people have been ignoring on purpose over the summer as well. But for Sagittarius and Virgo, for these two signs, we've got fiery Sagittarius and earthy Virgo, actually this is like super, super prosperous and there's the potential of like a lucrative contract or a lucrative deal or something you desire heading towards you in the next few weeks to a month. But my warning to Sagittarius with that would be you guys have a few more stumbling blocks than the other signs. But they're just opportunities in disguise. So avoid sloppiness, all planning starts with detailed goals and embrace the flower. So I'm a Virgo and you're saying that there is what kind of deals possibly in the offing a financial contract, something that is going to switch up your work or your money. Or both. Okay. Yeah. I'm trying to think who's going to be getting that deal from me because I just have a feeling, I'm giving the deal rather than getting the deal, but that's not what you're saying. This is good news. I mean it could be. Why do I get the feeling that yonder workhorse Capricorn is going to be shoving that bucket of rocks up the hill? Why do I get that feeling Charlie? I think you know what it means to be a Capricorn and you're just saying it as it is. Straight talk style. Look, bob, if you could only see bob's face he's over there going, I'm getting a deal. And she's listening. Keeps you busy. That keeps you busy. You can find Charlie's forecast for this week on our website at BOB, AND, SHE, ri dot com.

The odd gas podcast on the free bob and sherry app. I was reading an article about awkward holiday traditions that nobody really likes, but that we just keep doing year after year because it's a tradition. And one of them that came up is something that you guys is no longer a part of our life. We don't have to do it anymore. And that is the company Christmas party. We don't have to do that. That's true. We haven't had to do it. I mean, we did get together for a holiday gathering just ourselves pre COVID. And we haven't done that in a couple of years because of COVID. But I want you to remember we've had some good company Christmas parties. Yes. A couple that were really, really memorable and wonderful. And then we've had some that were just excruciating. And we had to go because it was one of those situations. What's that expression? You're absence matters more than your presence. Like you had to show up.

"Don't change the channel unless of course. You hate the sound of laughter. The bob and sherry show with bob. You joked that means that it was my fault. And Sharon. That's what we do here. And now broadcasting from the palatial bobbin sherry studios, it's bobbing cherry. Well, nice to have you with us. It's the bob and cherry show, of course. And we're going to help you out, especially if you are a person that is interacting with somebody from the wonderful Gen Z generation. If you're like 40s, 50s, 60s or above and you've got somebody that you're going to be using emojis with. You need to hear about this article that just came out in the daily mail. They released an article called the ten symbols only old people use that have Gen Z rolling their eyes. So when Gen Z sees you with an emoji coming their way and it's a certain emoji, they're rolling their eyes they're going. Can you believe how old this person is? So if you want to, maybe you don't care. But if you want to avoid that, here are the emojis. Number one, and I'm going to tell you the ones that I use, okay? And there is a bunch of them that Gen Z's don't like. Number one is thumbs up. That drive for some reason thumbs up drives Gen Z people crazy. I use it all. Passive aggressive. It feels passive aggressive. Why? That's what Olivia told you? No. Yeah. Because I asked caramel. I was like, how come how come you zoomers don't like the thumbs up emoji? And she was like, it's passive aggressive. It's like a thumbs up. Like, oh, great. Well, now you're finally getting it or you're finally doing it or whatever. I don't know if they all feel that way, but that's what she said that it's passionate. In a way, when I use it, it is passive aggressive. It means, okay, we've been back and forth with the same thing. One of us is going to be conversation thumbs up. I don't care. I don't care. I'm using it. I mean, sometimes don't you get somebody sends you like they're on vacation or something. They send you a picture of the beach or whatever. And you go, oh, looks fantastic. And then you got one of the palm tree. And then another one, this is an even better part of the beach and you're going, enough. The thumbs up is your only choice. I don't use the thumbs up emoji. You don't? No, I don't know that I've ever used the thumbs up emoji. Well, how about the red heart emoji? That's the number two the Gen Z's, hate. All the time with my girls with my wife. I know, I know that they hate that. But I send that to my girls. Sometimes I'll send them a different color heart. Just to remind them that they shouldn't think they know everything. The okay symbol memoji when, you know, you can make with your hand. The okay symbol. I use that. Not a lot, but, you know, every once in a while, rather than the thumbs up, sometimes I'll use the okay. Is that softer? I think it's a little softer, yeah. I think so, too. Yeah. I don't use that one either. The tick, which is like an arrow check with a green background. They don't like that. I don't use that one. The poop emoji. That is your favorite one. That's the one you use the most when you discovered that. You love that. You loved it. Yeah. But would you hate it now, but that hasn't always been true about that, but yeah, well it is true. I don't think I've ever seen it. Have you ever received that from me? I have. No, I mean, the actual emoji. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, you're going to have to pull that up and show me. You both have. We're not making that up. Yeah, well, you also don't remember geometry. It doesn't mean it didn't happen. I mean, I am going to pull it up right now. I am going to look at the emojis that I recently. You know how you can do that recently sent? Yes, but that doesn't mean you didn't send it. It's not on there. Okay, we're looking at like 15. Here they are. There's thumbs up, heart, smiling face, a smiling face blowing kiss, lobster, gold heart, which I think is kind of unique on my part. Let's see, Purple Heart, zs, like I'm taking a nap. The British flag for some reason, the Italian flag for some reason, fire, and a single great big eyeball. I use that every once in a while because it's a little disturbing. But anyway, I don't use that. Back to the emojis that Gen Z hates it. Loudly crying face. Loudly crying face. Use that. Monkey eye cover. Use that. I've never used that. Clapping hands. I don't use that. But I get it a lot. The monkey covers that were one hand is covering one eye and the otherwise looking kind of like uh oh. Is that what that one is? No. Let me bring it up. It's covering both the monkey as well. It's like, yeah, exactly. Exactly. You know which one I never use and I don't mean any disrespect, but if something bad has happened to someone, you'll see the comments and you'll see the prayer hands. Everybody's seen the prayer hands, you know? Up there. And some people they have not just one prayer hands. They've got like the entire choir in the church, prayer hands, there's like 5 to ten prayer hands, you know? I think the prayer hands are good when, you know, it really is very, very sad moment. But I swear to God, sometimes people will say, I gotta hang nail that is really bothering me. And somebody puts up like prayer hands. No, it's over the top. Let me just make sure I understand. That what you are deciding is what people can not pray for, so. Yeah. Yeah. That's exciting. That's fine. Use a thousand prayer hands. Go ahead. That's fine. But some, you know, somebody, I don't know. The kid fell off their bike. And the kids find got up, got a scrape, prayer hands. So folks, if you're wondering what to be the deity for, hello at bob and sherry dot com. We'll be answering these questions for you. Yeah, I will. Unless you send me the grimacing base emoji, and then I won't. Hey, I'm going to take it next. I'm going to tell you about a guy who's been doing his own dentistry. Oh, MG. He can use the prayer hands. I promise you, it's bobbing sherry. It's a bob and sherry off air podcast called the odd cast. Podcasting. Podcast.

"Welcome to bob and cherry. It's like a punch in the face. It's unbearable 'cause it's hot out here. It's hot. Unbearable. How hot is it? It's hot out here. Things are starting to get hot. Pretty hot, isn't it? Yes, it's hot. Really hot. Now, from the bobbin cherry studios, the very hot bobbin sherry. Hey, everybody. Welcome to another bob and cherry show. How we doing boys? Bob. Very nice. Very nice. Yes. I'm laughing because I was just talking to my husband. We spent part of the 4th of July weekend visiting family and at a big annual 4th of July thing that his ex-wife, my sister wife joanie's family puts on that have been paused for a few years for COVID and then, you know, they resumed it this past 4th of July. And so Kevin and I were talking and he said, how many times did you have to explain who you were to people? And it was always the same explanation, and that's what we were laughing about. So here would be the deal. I would be like sitting on the porch with a Bloody Mary, chatting with someone and a complete stranger would come up to me and they were all older people who knew Joni's parents. These women, like I'm never going to be this kind of 80 year old woman with flawless makeup and hair and the right jewelry and like a festive red white and blue sun dress. You know the type I'm talking about. I'm never going to I'm never going to be her and not because I don't want to be, but because I'm genetically incapable of pulling myself together now, what hope do I have if I live to be 80 or 90? But anyway, these people, these women were coming up to me and they were flawless. And their manners were immaculate and they would excuse me now. Now honey, now do I know you? Now who are you? And I would say, oh, I'm sherri, it's so nice to meet you. And I'm married to joanie's ex-husband, Kevin. And then the reaction and it was the same reaction all the time. There would be like a slight beat while this woman with her perfect manners and flawless pedigree would take that in. And process it, and then she would say, it was one right after another. Isn't it just wonderful that you're here? That is this close to bless your heart. Over and over again. Because that's in their generation. That kind of a relationship did not exist. Once the divorce occurred, he needed to die. He needed to die right away. One woman said to me, there was a pause and she went, well, isn't that wonderful? And I said, it is. I love Joni, we're very, very close. We're very dear Friends. And she looked around and she said, now, is Kevin here? As though she could, there was no way she could make sense of it, right? Looking at the two of you, yeah. Yeah, like perhaps I married Kevin and then Joni and I drove him up to the mountains and he hasn't been seen since. Then she could see how Joni and I could be at the same family gathering. But as a no no Kevin's here and the woman says to me, I would like to speak to him. Now, where is he? And I'm looking around and I don't see him out on the yard with all the kids, so I said he's wearing a blue shirt and an orange baseball hat. I believe that I am going to go have a word with him. So we chat for a minute and she wandered off and it was that caramel was sitting next to me for most of this. And it was over and over again. And then it would be. And then she would turn to these women would turn to carry me. Now darling, now who were you and care you would say, I'm caring Mia, and I'm sherry's daughter, and joanie's ex-husband, Kevin, is my stepdad. Pause. Well, isn't that wonderful? We did that over and over and over. And it was just so much fun. It was like being a character in a hallmark movie. You know, the hallmark movie where everyone gets the small town family get together for the big patriotic holiday. And the couple that were college sweethearts, everybody thought they'd be together till they were old, but no, it didn't work out. And they both got divorced and remarried. And now everybody's coming back to the reunion and getting together and getting reacquainted. It was so funny to watch those faces over and over again. And you're right. In their generation, that just wasn't a thing. No. It wasn't something that would happen. I'll be honest. It would be something that would be not really uncomfortable, but not something that I would embrace joyously, to be at a party with an ex. I just, that's all I would be thinking about is that she's over there talking to someone. I just don't have that relationship. I mean, we have a fine relationship because of the children and, you know, obviously we're together for a long time. But I just would be uncomfortable socializing beyond a wedding. Here's how much we don't have that dynamic. So the setting for this family get together was that joanie's uncle's house who passed away. This is this wonderful home. It's on the historic register. It's like something out of a movie. And it needed a ton of work done in the yard and in the garden and everything in order to get ready for the party. And Joni and Kevin did all the work. Really? Yeah. They did all the work. They went, they did all the yard work, they went and they got new plants and put them in. Because it was important to joanie and Kevin loved her uncle and, you know, his kids, that's their family, and he wanted it to be nice. So we don't have that dynamic at all. Well, isn't that wonderful? Isn't that wonderful? It's wonderful is what it is. And I'll say one more thing. It took a while for that divorce to simmer down so that when she saw Kevin coming with a chainsaw, she didn't jump. We got more on the news coming up and I'll tell you what it is wonderful and you're all gonna love it so much. Plus we have we're gonna take you down the rabbit hole to call from your parents comedian John fish. It's bob and Cher. So bob and sherry off air podcast called the odd cast. Podcasting.

I mean, she was an American, of course. But her people were Portuguese. And when I first got into their lives, it was really eye opening because we never ate as a family or very seldom, like on Christmas or Easter we would sit down and have dinner together. But generally, my father ate by himself in his chair with a little table to the side and the newspaper in his left hand and a beer, and my brother and I ate quietly with each other at a little table that we had. And my mother would eat in the kitchen or not at all sometimes for weeks. It's just, oh, you go ahead. I'll just nibble that sort of thing. And I just love sitting down with an ethnic family. And here comes the spaghetti and pasta sauce and all of these and all of these different things that we never had. But it was the talking, too, that was really, really nice. So I had a pause and laugh when I saw the top ten dinnertime rules, according to children. So in other words, if kids were running things, this is, this is what dinnertime would look like. And these kids, by the way, were between the ages of 6 and 16. So here we go. Okay. Number one rule, according to children. I can leave the table when I'm finished and not have to wait for everyone else to finish. Number two, I can eat dinner in front of the TV. Number three, I can choose how much food goes on my plate. Number four, I can have whatever I want to drink. Number 5, I can eat in my pajamas. Well, your mother and father are doing that probably now. So why not? So far so good. Number 6, everybody chooses what they want to eat. Number 7 music is allowed to be played, music that I like. Number 8, I do not have to finish my meal before I can have dessert. 9. Phones are allowed at the table. Well, there's that 16 year old. And finally, I can eat with my fingers. We would send animals out into the world if we allowed that stuff. To go on. But what if just one night a week, it was kid rules at dinnertime. What if you did that just one night a week? That would be a really good idea and they would look so forward to it and they could tell their friends about it. I mean, you know, the thing about I could choose what I want to drink. You know that it's going to be Coke or sunny D or Pepsi or something like that every single night. We used to when the girls were little, we did picnic dinner a couple nights a week where we literally put a blanket on the living room floor and we ate dinner, like picnic styles. Why couldn't it be that way, just one night a week? I've got a grown man living here that would like to have those rules one night a week for himself. Like eating with your fingers. He would like to eat with his hands and drink whatever he wants and not have to eat things he doesn't like. Right, exactly. No, I think that's brilliant because it doesn't groove a habit. And it's something to look forward to and it says that you as a parent are kind of a playful person. Well, it also makes, if you think about it, if you had one night a week that was just like kids rules go, it would make the other things that you're trying to teach table manners and all of that. It would make them stand out even more. Yeah. Yeah, it wouldn't be what they might listen a little bit more. Would you like to hear the meals they would choose? All right. I'm going to start at the bottom and go to number one. The first one, hot dogs, the next one, pasta and sauce, the next one specifically spaghetti bolognese, which I have to tell you. When I think of Madison and Hampton, growing up with me and Mary, that's the one dish that they always wanted. And when they come to visit, that's what Mary always makes and she makes a great bowl and is. The next one is some sort of a roast dinner like a steak or something. Then we're up to chicken nuggets. That's number three. Chicken nuggets with French fries. These are the top meals kids would choose. Number two, hamburgers. What do you think is number one? Pizza. Pizza. Pizza. Yeah, that's right. And once again, there are a lot of adults that would choose that too. I had pizza last night. So there you go. I'm going to guess that there are going to be some parents out there after having heard what you just suggested that are going to go to doing that. We weren't allowed to watch television when I was a kid when we ate. My parents retired and I'm visiting, what do we do? We're watching television while we eat. What about that rule? Isn't that rule? Oh yeah, that's done. Why are we saying that? Oh, there you go. But I think the thing is, now they don't want to talk. They don't want to know what's going on. They don't want to talk to me. They don't want to know what's going on. It's a kid they did. Not now. So we wanted to hear how you yeah. How you did in school. They're so tired of hearing what you did at work. Here comes jeopardy. Anything to avoid it. It's bob and sherry. Well, this is us. I decidedly odd.

So if you were not with us, bob was just talking about the rules kids would like to have at the dinner table. How they'd like to dress and act and eat and drink and all of that. And it made me think on Saturday night this past weekend. I've stayed overnight at my youngest dorm. I was the only mom in the dorm, a dorm room sleepover. And let me just tell you, I slept like a bear, which I did not expect on one of those little twin dorm beds in a college dorm. But it's exams. And so it was pretty quiet. There wasn't any wild partying. And here was the weirdest thing. Not only did the AC work in that dorm, it was kind of chilly. So what's better than sleeping in a cold, dark, quiet room, right? Yeah. But before, so we had a very fun sleepover as caramel would say, hit the sleigh button queen. So we had a very good time. And after we spent the afternoon.

"Here's bob and sherry. And exactly 15 seconds we'll be on the air. Each the bob and cherry show with bob. What can I do? I'm on my grind and sharing. This party just got a little better. And now broadcasting from the palatial bobbin sherry studios it's bobbing sherry. Well, let's kick off today's show, congratulating and celebrating what I hope is the beginning of a wonderful and healthy and happy new chapter for. Britney Spears. It looks like it's official. You know, yeah, yeah, I guess she's pregnant. And I hope things do go well for I agree with you. But I tell you what one of the most ignorant things ever said by human beings is, well, my wife, my life is out of control, so I think I'll have a baby that ought to straighten everything out. But I mean, I would argue that her life is not out of control right now. She's out of her conservatorship. She's in a happy stable relationship. She seems like she's feeling like she's back in control of her life. Like, talk to me about that. When I see the post and I don't follow them very much, but when I see the posts, they seem a little off the rails just what she's wearing, her look, just, you know, she's half naked. I'm sorry. She's somebody's mom and I hope she does okay. I'm not a Britney hater. I don't have any skin in this game. It just seems like she's not totally in control. Well, let me read the post on because I follow her on insta. Let me read her post, she said, I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back. I thought, jeez, what happened to my stomach? And my husband said, nah, your food pregnant, silly, you know, like a food baby. She said, so I got a pregnancy test and well, I'm having a baby. Four days later, I got a little more food pregnant. It's growing. If two were in there, I just might lose it. I obviously won't be going out as much due to the paparazzi getting their money shots of me like they unfortunately already have. It's hard because when I was pregnant, I had perinatal depression, and I have to say it's absolutely horrible. Women didn't talk about it back then. Some people considered a dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her. But now women talk about it every day. Thank Jesus, we don't have to keep that pain or reserve proper secret anymore. This time I'll be doing yoga every day, spreading joy and lots of love. And then her. She calls her husband. Yeah, that's coherent. That's a great post. I'm glad to hear that. She calls him her husband and he identifies that way, and he also posted on his Instagram that he could not wait to be a dad and protect his family and everything. So, you know, I have to say, you know, since I follow Britney on Instagram, I see the posts, and I don't see what you're describing. I mean, she has her own very specific way of posting. And it can be a little bit rambly. And yeah, she's often in bathing suits or dance clothes. Et cetera, et cetera, but I don't know. We disagree on we do just disagree. The nude posing just seemed to, you know, and I understand that show business and all that. It just seemed to be a hey, look at me. I still need a lot of attention. I just, you know, I just wish take care of herself and don't worry about don't worry about the public. Although she, how much for the shots at the wedding and how much for the first shots with the baby. I think we're talking millions here. I mean, if Chris Rock is saying, I am not going to tell my story unless I get paid. Are you kidding me? Britney Spears. Should I call a Kardashian and say, how much should I charge? They've made a lot of money with that. I've said this before and I'm going to say it again. I think with Britney, we have someone who has some arrested emotional development because of the circumstances of her life, the conservatorship, I think what you're seeing now is someone who's finally free and it's kind of like if you've ever been in an unhappy relationship and then you break up or you get divorced and suddenly you're just out there. You know, you're finally able to live your life and the pendulum can take a wild swing in an extreme direction. That's what I think we're seeing with Britain. And that's all I'm going to do. I'm going to bow to your superior knowledge and insight on this and not say anything. I'll tell you one good thing for her. If she wants to go away for the weekend, there's a built in babysitter by the name of K fed. He's broke up with the youngsters. Now lean in, lean in because I'm going to give you a good I'm going to give you a good shaking. This idea, something that rankles me like, and I know you did not mean it in a way, but when you say something like, she's somebody's mother. As though that's that automatically makes it shameful or wrong for her to be in a bathing suit or something. I say that. I say that because she has sons. And if it's posted on the Internet, it's there forever. I mean, come on, give me a break. I wouldn't want to see my mother doing that. You know, with your mom wasn't Britney Spears or pink or Katy Perry or, you know, what's another famous Courtney Love? I mean, it's just unfair to hold that kind of yardstick off in retro and you are better than that. Lean in summer smack your whole head. You are really not better than that. I demand that you are better than that. I thought the cape fed line worked. You know, I'm good for something there. All right. You're good for more than that. I mean, you have your uses. But I think when you and you're clean, how many times have I said it? You're such a clean man. Coming up on the show, comedian.

"And sherry. Well, I have to say, I've heard of you, but I'm not too familiar with your show. The bobbin cherry show. With bob. My wife comes to the door, and she just wants to jerk me around just to see what happens. And sherry. I can't believe a woman would do that to you. And now, from the palatial bobbin sherry studios, bobbin sharer. So I have a talk much about my daughter who's experiencing her first semester of college. She's doing well, you know, some days are better than others. Last night, she FaceTimed me and she was sitting under, you know, dorm rooms have like it's a bunk bed and then there's space underneath. Yes. So you meet for like a desk or something like that. She says that they have in her she and her roommate under one of the beds, they have like a mini fridge and a little coffee like kernel. Right. So I see that I've got a FaceTime call coming in and I tap it and my daughter is FaceTiming me from underneath the bed so I'm looking up at her face and bedsprings. The underside of the bunk bed. And she's like, hello, mother. I'm wearing the same pajamas for the third day in a row. And the only thing I'm eating is cereal. And my head is going to explode because I'm so stressed out. And I was like, oh, honey, you know what? That's just college, and you're doing great, and give her a little pep talk. So I get off the phone with her and she texts me that she's, you know, telling me when she's coming home for Thanksgiving break. And then there's a list of things that she would like to do when she gets home. She wants to get her hair cut. And she wants to go to the dentist and all this other stuff. And is that possible to do? So I replied back, absolutely, but you're an adult now, and you need to schedule all that stuff, and I'll help you get to it, but I do not have room in my brain to take on one more person's good for you. You can schedule your own haircut. Right. And also, you know, 'cause you have to go through this too. When your kid or your spouse or whoever your partner asks you to schedule something for them, it's not as simple as you calling up and saying, hey, can we get her in for a haircut on such and such date? No, because it has to be in a very specific window of time. Well, they may only have so many openings. And well, no, she can't come with 2 o'clock. Do you have anything at four? Yeah. All right, what about 5? No. How about noon? What am I miss Jane Hathaway? No. So I said, you need to schedule all of that stuff for yourself. I love you. I know you can do it. So then I get a text this morning today telling me that she has succeeded in scheduling all of these things. And so I replied back, very adulty. I'm very pleased, doesn't that feel good? And she said, yes, it does. And we read her, I'm going to read her exact words. Yes, it does. And I think this is a good time in my life to start listening to hootie and the blowfish now that I'm an adult. And I thought about it. And I was like, you know, yeah. That is so snarky. It is so snarky. That is when you develop a real appreciation for hootie and the blowfish. Prove me wrong. No, but that's an insult to hootie and the blowfish. And all the who like Darius, right? That's exactly right. Yeah. It's funny though. It's funny in its own way. Because a teenage girl does not listen for the most part, I know there are exceptions. Especially mine, my daughter was only interested in finding bands that only three people had heard of. Who had indie deals and you could only download their music from YouTube. That was what she was interested in listening to. The lantern was like that too. Landon was, oh my God, Landon was exactly like that. The idea of listening to something that's really awesome yet mainstream. Have you heard of pond sludge? They're fantastic. You would love them. Knowing that I would hate them. But she just wanted me to know. She was dating a boy back then who was like in a band. Oh, I remember him. And so he was feeding her pun sludge. It's just fantastic. And I could tell when he would come over to the house. He'd see like my music collection. I still had CDs. And I know he wouldn't say anything, but I know that he's saying to himself, oh, he's still listening to that stuff. He doesn't know Ponce lodge. See, you know, I caught something. You're involved in this tie, you don't even know. I caught something early because the reason that your kids will come to you and say, mother, are you listening to allspice? No, honey, I don't know, all spice goes in pie. And I can't believe all spies. It's a band. There are these three guys. They're from Reykjavík. Yeah, right. And they don't play instruments. They play empty Quaker oats boxes. And they write all of their lyrics backward. It's so good. So your kid is coming to you with this to make you feel ancient analog touch. And with an attitude. And with an attitude, right? The irony is someday she will get married and she will have children, and they will discover hootie and the blowfish. Oh, kind of like how my girls starting in fourth grade played toto Africa on repeat. Exactly. Exactly the same the same thing will happen. The same thing will happen. So yeah, well, guess what? Olivia, we've all heard of hootie and the blowfish. Welcome to the adult. And by the way, they're together again, and they're touring. Yeah, what do you think about that? And they're probably going to come to your college. Yeah, but Todd's not going to get your tickets because he's tired of y'all make fun. It's bob and sherry. Happy Mother's Day. Mother's Day is fast approaching and the bob and sherry store has great gifts for the mother in your life. This is my mother just playing better than anyone else.

Being super angry at your ex after a breakup can be a really good thing because it can help you move on faster. So a therapist who works as a breakup coach, and you'd think that bob and I have one of those on speed dial, but oh no. This breakup coach says anger feels like the most proactive emotion for getting over an X because anger energizes us, but depression deflates us. Anger helps us feel in control of what we've lost. Anger can jump start your healing. But it can only.

From visit Florida and bobbin sherry. I don't know if everybody experienced this, but as a kid, my father had a license plate, looks like a license plate. It wasn't really a license plate. But it enabled him to go through toll booths on I 95 in Connecticut without paying. And he told me that he was just going to run the toll booth. And as we went through, the thing would click and then it was okay. My eyes would be just wide open and I would go, you shouldn't do that. He goes, I'm going to do it. And as he's going through, he turned his head and go, you can go to hell and drive right through. That was my father. And I believe that for like two years. I was really tickled when I found this website of people who posted things they were told as kids. Here's the first one. Lost my stuffed animal, a white dog in an airport in Miami when I was 5. It was my favorite. I was so sad. My mother went and found another one, but it was white. She brought it to me and she said, I found him, but he was in Florida and he's got a tan now. And that's why he doesn't look exactly the same. And he bought that for the next three years. That is so sweet. Another one, my older brother pranked me. I had watched kids TV shows. I think it was the electric company and it featured a guest star who was a tap dancer. My brother told me that tap dentures made their Tapping sounds, not with their feet, but with their mouths. I spent the next several weeks trying to tap dance with my mouth noises before my mother told me to stop it and don't be so annoying. As a kid, my whole extended family would go camping and my great grandfather would bring a big salt shaker for every kid. When we arrived, he would pass them out and tell us if you get salt on a squirrel's tail, it throws off the squirrel's balance, and he can't climb trees anymore, and then you can catch one and keep it as a pet. Q to all of us running around chasing squirrels with salt shakers for at least an hour, getting rid of us so the adults could sit around uninterrupted drinking. I believe. I believe it. Next person says, when I was a kid, my dad told me it costs 25 cents to change the radio station to keep me from messing around with it. I believe that until I was 14. Now this is one that's been I think probably everybody has heard this. If you swallowed the black watermelon seed, a watermelon would grow in your stomach. Yeah, my brother told me that. Did he really? Yeah, he did. This one says, you won't get in trouble if you tell the truth. Well, we all know that. It's really not true. That is definitely not true. I thought this was kind of interesting. I could not understand how all the death scenes in war movies seem so realistic, so I asked one of my brothers how they did it. He's older. He proceeded to tell me that they empty out state prisons in the area for the movie, and they dress them up and give them guns and tell them if they survive the filming that they get to leave jail. I was told that around 7 and I believed it until I was about ten years old. These are horrible things that people have done to kids. Now this one, this one is very clever. You know the ice cream trucks that go through your neighborhood, playing those annoying little songs. Turkey in the straw or whatever. This kid was told the ice cream fan played music to let everybody know he was out of ice cream. All hats awful. That is awful. That is just terrible. The button on my arm rest on an airplane is the eject button. I found out it reclines your seat, embarrassingly late. There are so many with these posts of eject buttons. Whether it's the hazard button on a car, whether it's another button on a car, kids were told they would be ejected through the roof of the car if they touched these buttons. Eating too much sugar will glue your butt cheeks together. That was told to me by my mom, according to this person. It's interesting that she leaned on that. I guess she figured nobody's buying that and nobody cares about rotting your teeth, but maybe this. Maybe this side effect will be the one. I know. And finally, sometimes when we ask for McDonald's, my dad would say no, but turn in any way and say the car was doing it by itself. I believed him every time. I just thought the car was my homie. I thought the car had my back. There they are. What we do to mess up our kids lives. It's bob and sherry. Oh, well, this is odd. I decidedly odd.

In The Thick
What Is the U.S. Doing to Help Cuba?
"Get to it with our first topic. Which is actually about the historic protests in cuba where thousands of people took to the streets all across the country amid an economic crisis in food shortages exacerbated by the corona virus pandemic. In the last few days we've seen the government in cuba restrict internet access and block most social media sites. Although from what i read. Twitter is still like bobbin in cuba because the government uses twitter and also there were reports of over one hundred people who have been arrested or missing and that actually is. According to amnesty international and at least one person has died in clashes with police on wednesday. The president of cuba miguel diaz canal announce that they would lift restrictions to allow travelers to bring food and medicine into cuba from abroad. There is also an admission by him saying that his government could have done better with these protests that was interesting meanwhile back in the united states i feel like a comic book like meanwhile back at the white house on thursday president joe biden call. Cuba quote failed state and condemn their government's actions. We also know that the us has a role in this as there has been a decades old. I mean more than sixty years trade embargo by the united states against cuba which essentially prevents any business between the countries didn't back to nineteen sixty two k. So this has become an american tradition. Now the embargo just what it is. Yeah right you know what i'm saying. So but then the other thing is during the trump administration and this is what i find interesting. There were more sanctions put on cuba under trump and flight and remittances from family members in the us to cuba were even further restricted by the bynum ministrations. Pretty much has done. Nothing since biden has come into office. Nothing's really changed when it comes to cuba which you would think by now you know if we all remember obama he was like. Let's lift the embargo. You know what i mean. It was like you're in that administration. Joe right but according to the vitamin administration. They said that they are reviewing these policies but they've yet to reverse. Any of them are fabulous intern. Sarah her shandor spoke with an i guests. She has been on. Itt before seventy nine three goes who is a correspondent for political and somebody is of cuban-american descent and she has been reporting on cuba. This week and sabrina talked about the government's suppressive tactics like cutting internet access. And what cubans are hoping for so. Let's listen connecting for people has been a difficult. There's friends that. I haven't heard from in days that i know went out for the protests in there is that frustration anxiety about were. They beat in where they arrested. Are they missing an. It's hard to connect with people at this moment but a lot of people feel a level of frustration and desperation. That i had not heard before i mean. People have been tired of the dictatorship in cuba. But i will actually say from my perspective. Who was born and raised in cuba has been in exile in the united states for the majority of her life at this point. She's ninety one and she is optimistic. That change can happen. I mean her attitude about this is it can't stay this way forever and that these human rights can be violated forever. People can't be going hungry in dying on the streets from the pandemic without access to a hospital without access to medicine let it cannot continue that way indefinitely so that if it doesn't happen this time it has to happen at some point

How to Make This Winter Not Totally Suck.
"Hi Sober sellers. It's Lynn. Oh, my goodness one more week when this comes out, I will be moving in one more week. So yeah, I'm really excited had some hiccups along the way I don't know if you all remember living in an apartment buildings. That's where I'm moving from and moving to I'm not buying a house quite yet in my little village in evidently something happened to me every time I move and this time it was kind of a big one I was moving into this brand new building with four stories although I'm GonNa live on the second floor, right above the shops with. Florida ceiling windows kind of like a loft and wouldn't you know that Kovin interruptus happened? Yeah. So the elevator people can't put the elevator in and this is quite a complex project from what I understand even in twenty twenty, they are I don't know six months behind as what I'm told, and now I have to move into a temporary residence which I'm now wrapping my brain around but it's one bedroom instead of two bedrooms. So I have to downsize a little bit more than I thought I was going to and I might be in the. Apartment for about three months. So there you go Bobbin we've in our way through two thousand, twenty I'm still so very excited. So after some contemplation and some you know. Anger and disappointment whereas my feeling wheel and some other things I got through it and decided to make the best of it and that's what I'm doing. Now, of course, there's lots of stuff in between all there. So you know I have to pull out my tools from my buffer zone just like you do. which brings me to today's topic in the spirit of all of us who have moved before. Yeah. I'm expending a lot of energy right now and I'm excited and I'm busy and I'm forgetting stuff. So I'm trying to keep the next few weeks of podcast episodes brief or if I don't win that battle with myself, which is very difficult to keep things brief I'm going to choose things that tickle me and that I wanNA. Share you and I came across one of those just this week by a writer who writes a lot for the Atlantic she was on staff there and I haven't really followed her I'm not a writer follower type but I know I've read a bunch of her stuff. Her name is Seagal Samuel and the article I'm going to read you she wrote for Vox and you gotTA. Love the title how to make this winter not totally suck. According to psychologists. Many of us are throwing her arms up in the air and still going what the heck is going on here. in the United. States. Election will be shortly upon us and were quite uncertain about what that's going to bring. Nobody really knows t leave readers all over the place but crazy stuff keeps happening day by day. So we'll just see ultimately the goal for those of you listening as you well know for me is to share with you how are we going to cope with all this? Tabei Day week by week sometimes minute by minute and second by second. So. That's why I love this article. And I thought today. y'All might forgive me if I kinda just read it to you. You know I can't help myself from jumping in and give him my own little take on things which Typically you'll hear me change my tone of voice or Interject Lynn here my plan is that you'll actually be able to decipher that. And enjoy the little nuggets of wisdom that is Samuel has shared with us. Again the article is shared on Vox V. O. X. DOT COM. and. The author is Seagal I hopeful that I'm pronouncing that right but you know there's a fifty fifty chance of everything last name Samuel and it was published on October fourteenth twenty twenty. She begins I'm GonNa go out on a limb and say, you're probably dreading this winter. We know it's going to be harder to socialize outdoors as the weather gets colder. We also know there's probably going to be a surge. Yeah. In New Cova. Nineteen infections many of us are feeling anxious about how we're going to make it through. The lonely bleak months ahead I see a lot of people trying to cope with this anxiety by drumming up one off solutions y'all are going to love this. By a fire pit better yet by a whole house or like I'm doing move. Those may be perfectly fine ideas as far as they go but I'd like to suggest a more effective way to think about reducing your suffering an increasing your happiness. This winter studies show that anything we can do to direct our attention off of ourselves and onto other people or other things is usually productive and makes us happier. Said Sonya Lia- by Mirsky, a psychology professor at the University of California, Riverside and author of the how of happiness a scientific approach to getting the life you want. She goes on to say a lot of life's problems are caused by too much self-focused and self absorption, and we often focus too much on the negatives about

Wanda Walgood, Wandering Witch
"WANDA WALL. Good wandering once upon a time in a weird would there was a witch who went by Wanda Wall. Good she wasn't the old kind of which you picture. You know the ones. I'll and wrinkles and moles and a head full of stray cats for hair. No Wanda was a young witch with just the standard amount of warts and wrinkles and moles though. Her hair was rather mousy and a stray cat. Probably did get more brushing Wanda Wall. Good was a wild which which meant that. She was never much for her reading and writing. She shunned her spell books and shirked her studies. She lagged each lesson and lamented learning. Like she'd lost a love. She was a wonderful witch in many ways always eager to search for a Birch bore or peruse upon until she was muddier than a worm on vacation but studying. It wasn't her cup of tea exit. She didn't even like t reading was fine but she'd rather be on vacation with the worms. If she was being honest this upset her terribly. They were raising her. As per habitual which e tradition their names were biscuits and towed though they were always together so it didn't much matter which which was which high viscous and towed now they were the kind of which is you picture. One was long and lean with more words. A friendly frog farmer. She had hair. That looked like a broom and road on a broom that looked like hair always billowing in the breeze. The other was burly as a brown bear though basically bald. She sported a star spangled shawl and spectacular spectacles ECLECTIC. We selected from ethical. Select ables behind them. She blinked blindly with Badische Browse. They were wonderful witches and Wanda Wall. Good loved them very much. Even though ever since she had turned ten they were all over her like nude is in potion. Who Want. When will you start studying high biscuits said one morning? Well to be honest. She said it every morning but this morning was special. Even if Wanda didn't know it yet you can't just muck about in the mud like a maniac. Wanda looked to toad for support. But her aunt just smirked eyebrows arching like bent bowes. I'm afraid I agree with my sister said towed sipping a modeled Mug of Putrid Purple Potion. You're a wonderful witch but you could be a master caster with a little. Learning WANNA looked from one aunt to the other she knew this day would come but had hoped to allude. Its protrusion for a while yet. Do I really have to read? She said can't I just look at the pictures? That's the fun part anyway. Oh this is. All our fault really continued high biscuits. We've let you linger over long. No more though said towed. We found the perfect quest for you. Something that will get even your brain burning about books and slug slurps salty snacks Wanda muttered. No it's true said high viscous we've been reading some maps and comparing them to the lost text of Bobbin the bright more like Bob it in the boring. We think we've located his loss. Library said toed holding up hand to stop. Wanda faked a snore. It recently apparently appeared in the center of a swamp. It'll take a wandering which to find it. Who even is Bob in the bright anyway? And why is his library so important? Oh we'll tell you.

Stan Miller: Delivering Powerful Client Focused Solutions With Estate Planning
"Stan Miller welcome to the Nice guys on business. Podcast a great great to be here. I'm happy to have you here. And I think part of the process is you know the the intertwining between talking about the entrepreneurial entrepreneurial experience and talking about how really things like estate planning and legacy and all that fit into place so maybe we can back up just a quick second before we even get into the idea of. What is legacy? And what's estate planning? Maybe it's more of how do you fit into the world of an entrepreneur's You know they're they're planning for what's coming down the road for them maybe ten years and maybe fifty years in some people's cases so in in the work that I do I I get inside their lives and and do the best. I can figure out what is it to really drive these guys. What is it matters you know? Part of it is is is is creating wealth. But I'm telling you that every human being just about every entrepreneur that I've interacted with has a real passion for making a difference in the world and when they reach a certain level of financial security start seeing express. You see guys like Bill Gates for example doing just incredible things world. I saw today. Some guy wrote a check for a billion dollars to support the cove nineteen while fund. You know and so so you know it at our heart as human beings. I believe the way we're wired at the factory. The way were built. We have innate desire to make a difference in the world and for most people for most people the way they see themselves. Doing that is through family through their children through your grandchildren But also through it in committee Bobbin and through doing charitable kinds of things. Some people express it politically. So there's there's no one way to do it but there is that undeniable impulse has built into human beings and you see it particularly in times of crisis you see people doing just incredible amazing things coming together the in ways that are not definitively selfish so tell me about how they how legacy that. Word Legacy. Maybe we'll define that for just a moment how legacy fits into this into the financial world because legacy doesn't go just beyond dollars and sense as it goes beyond that into some other things or maybe just helped me define what legacy is and then we can talk about the difference between legacy and let's say a financial path to the future. Yes that's why I wrote this book because typically when people talk about their legacy you're thinking about what what is the stuff I'm going to leave the portfolio or the you know the financial acid. I'm the lead and that is part of it for sure but my view has been for a long time that financial advisors in the state planning attorneys who live in the world that I live in have Have had to limited view of what is in my goal here was to actually open the aperture on the conversation so that we were we able to recognize that while legacy included the financial component in while legacy included a legal component. Where you have a you have a legal structure that protects your financial wealth. I felt like I felt for longtime like a conversation stopped too soon. And not give people the opportunity to open up to the nonfinancial at the nonfinancial aspects of the things that matter to them in in so for me legacy actually wraps around and incorporates all three of those things. It's interesting because as the more the more I was talking to my financial planner through the last. I don't know ten or fifteen years of you know we doing the whole life insurance thing and helping me just kind of get things in the in the right order and I went through a divorce so making sure. There's some protection. They're making sure that my kids are taking care of all of that. I really dealt a lot with the With the financial side and I never realized that what he did wasn't really focused on and I love him. He's a great guy but what he doesn't do I don't think at least. Maybe I haven't uncovered this part of his of his Of his processes. I think he does more financial planning and less estate planning. So maybe can you? Can you share the? Is there a difference between those two things you're is? Yeah and that's that's my that's been the frustration is that we all live in silos. You know we tend to do all day every day. The things that get us paid right is financial guy. You're it's about selling insurance products because that's how you get paid or if or you get paid by assets under management if you're a lawyer you get paid for doing. These legal documents is so that's what we do. We get up every day. We gotta pay the mortgage paid employees right and so we do the things that we get paid port. So what I'm trying to do with this book and the things that are growing out of it is to get those guys the financial advisors into lawyers to sit down together and say how is it that we can exponentially enhance. The experience for our clients are having with us by energizing. The in integrating the financial conversation bringing about financial security ourselves and then leaving financial security to heirs. How can we do that in a way that that protects protects the air's So that you get all of the upside all of the good stuff that comes from leave being able to leave financial security. There's there are a lot of good things from that right. I mean leaving money to people as a good thing because they're able to travel. They're able to be educated as they wouldn't be able to have more stable marriages. Which as you don't have financial pressure and household but the other issue and this is something that that that you see when you particularly talked financial advisers that represent truly wealthy people there. There is a fear that wealth has the power to destroy human beings in you. You see that you see in you know we've seen it. I've certainly seen it. Where people that inherent significance amount that significant amounts of money all of a sudden. They don't need to have a day job right and so they can. They can quit work. They can develop drug addictions alcohol addictions They can you know they attract a whole different group of friends who who H H exactly and and it. It destroys self esteem because it also destroys trust. Because the people that I'm describing who fit in that category never never really quite sure if the people who are their friends are really their friends. or just there to to get to get the financial benefit of hanging around and so and so that whole conversation is what I believe. Lawyers and financial advisers need to be having together with clients because there are some really incredible power tools that that that can be installed. It's not there's not one single silver bullet saying there are a combination of power tools. That can be installed in a plan that allows you to get all the best parts of financial security while also truly empowering the lives of the people you care about.
Dressed: The History of Fashion
Hook, Line, and Sink-Her: A History of Fishnets
"Berry wrote to US last month with the following an inquiry. And I'm quoting him. He says my wife and I have very different. Connotations we see fishnets I primarily. Associate them with burlesque and showgirls. But she remembers wearing them as a young girl in the nineteen sixties and primarily associates them with much younger girls and more innocent fashion. What's the history of Fishnets as a fashion accessory and that Berry is a great question and an inquiry that I immediately jumped on and it took me way back into unexpected and quite frankly unchartered territory for myself. This might not come as a surprise to our listeners but fishnets are of course athlete named after Fishing Nets School. The obvious yes April. It's been awhile since. We've put our dress. Detective hats on. Oh I see where we're going with this if you wouldn't mind grabbing yours a we are heading back in history actually quite far back maybe the farthest we've ever gone we're going back. Twenty eight thousand. I think we might need more than a half for that up. But I'm ready whenever you. I'm so sorry to disappoint you. Dress listeners but women were not in fact wearing fishnets. Twenty eight thousand years ago that we have evidence however in two thousand eighteen archaeologist and South Korea found fourteen limestone sinkers so basically these weights that have these grooves and them that indicated that they would have been tied to fishing at these extent. Sinkers are believed to be anywhere from twenty eight thousand five hundred and fifty. I love how precise date is to twenty nine thousand four hundred sixty years old and this discovery actually added nineteen thousand years to the earliest known use of fishing nets. My mind is officially blown. A little pink. Yeah and Fishing. Nets are essentially fibers nodded into an open structure resembling a grid. They've been used by cultures all over the world for thousands and thousands of years obviously and while the net attached to those thinkers that cash. Just mentioned doesn't survive. There are some really really old net. Set still do. The entry net found an entry of Finland is one of the oldest extant fishing nets in the world dating to around eighty four fifty BC E. And what is especially fascinating? Is that the same technology used to make these early fishing nets more or less is still in use today which is amazing and while our fish nets might be made of different fibers. They basically exists in the same form as they would have thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago but when did fishing nets you know this simple impractical device used for catching fish cast become fish nets that we all know and some of US wear today. Well this was not as easy and answered track down as I was hoping although I am grateful to pass dress guests Karen Been Horan. Who pointed me to our earliest visual source not eighty four hundred BC early but fifteen hundred to fifteen twenty ad early so you know five hundred years ago carrying authored a book with Jane Merrill called. She's got legs a history of hemlines and fashion and in the book they feature an image of an Italian jar from the walters. Art Museum in Baltimore which depicts a woman wearing these calf-high stockings which basically we can describe as fishnet stockings. And will yeah. It's pretty cool and it you are. Maybe we'll post it. And this is a painted image so not an extent example of fish nets but we have little else to go on except that the artists took their inspiration from somewhere. So maybe somewhere someone wearing These actual calf-high fishnet stockings. But the question is were women wearing fishnets in sixteenth century Italy. We might not have hard and fast evidence that they were but this is around the time. That scholars generally agree that lace a handmade openwork fabric was first being developed and really implemented into dress in Europe. And I know you're thinking lace fishnets lace fishnets. Well stay with us here. You know there are essentially two different types of lace and there can be many variations of those two types but the main two types are needle lace which includes a single needle and thread or uses a single needle and thread and there's also bobbin lace which involves multiple threads on Bobbins and they get braided together crossed over into many number of patterns so while we often associate lace with its intricate. Floral patterning of the foundation or the ground of this patterning is frequently a net. So if you look at the ground of. Let's say Valentine's lace. You will see that it's a square or diamond mesh or like an openwork very similar albeit smaller size to what we associate with fish net. So there's there's there's usually a net background on lace or a lot of lace. Yeah in the same can be said for filet lace April where patterning is achieved by embroidery on a knotted net ground so emphasis on the nodded. Because we just referenced this in relation to the construction of fishing nets and in fact fillet work is thought to have developed directly out of the fishing net which would have been owned by any number of European communities to which it would have been an indispensable tool. It's not far fetched to imagine that an enterprising woman might have recognized its potential value as a textile and began experimenting with decorative effects that being said cast all of these places. We just mentioned. Were being produced at this time entirely by hand which was incredibly time intensive and highly meticulous in this process and this meant that laces were prohibitively. Expensive all better few and because of this they really became status symbols and it is because of this reason that we have so many amazing portrait's from the sixteenth seventeenth eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that have these incredibly detailed depictions of lace. These men and women wanted to show off their lace right. They're literally wearing their wealth On their clothing and and it was an important that that the the porteous relayed that to the viewer but while we see the origins of an open net patterning lace of this period. I still had a really hard time finding any evidence of handmade lace net stockings. An I surmise. That these pieces were just too valuable to us as a garment that in addition to not being seen what have been subjected to the wear and tear a practical use. Because they're on your feet. You Walk on your feet for women to even begin to consider wearing net as a footwear fashion accessory to things appear to have had to have happened. I saw one lace net. How become affordable and thus more disposable and to as an impractical garment because you know fish nets fishnet tights are nothing if not a novelty? They really have to be seen to be appreciated. It's not like they're keeping you warm or anything like
Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
Tear Down This Wall: The resistance
"The I on curtain was not the creation of a mindset or a system which had any time for dissent. The curtain was at its height. Seven thousand in Columbus of wires watchtowers walls fences minefields and sentry posts stretching from the Arctic Tundra Finland to the Black Sea coast of Greece. This old dedicated to preventing captive people's from fleeing somewhere they might speak think and vote freely. Nevertheless there was resistance courageous inventive and surprisingly rarely violent it took foams as different as the imprison nations of Eastern Europe would different in this third episode of the foreign discs series reflecting on the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. We look at Poland where the regime Asia was confronted by a trade union and joined by Pope the country then known as Czechoslovakia where revolution was led by poets playwrights and rockstars and Romania the only one of eastern Europe's liberation struggles of nineteen thousand nine to descend into bloodshed. This is the foreign desk. My impression of the strike in the Lenin shipyard was that this was going to happen as they were going to get way because there was nothing credible calm about the way people are going about the strike. There there was no panic. There was no drinking no rushing around people were just waiting for the government to give in and the government did get enough to series of public negotiation. I mean we knew something something was going on but we still wear not sat in that be able to live to see the end all the system. We knew Tom Unsustainable in the long run but most of our perspective close sustainable for longer than our lives about the thing about people on television television or a heads of the secret believes in the army and they were giving contradictory instructions to people in the field but there was fighting on on the streets. Nobody knew who was on whose side and the sea turns out of course neither there or no sides there was a single side and the churches were along and they had no loyal troops in August. One thousand nine hundred eighty a group of workers at the Lenin shipyards in Gdansk went Own Strike they called their fledgling trade union solidarity and hoisted a Groovy flag based on Poland's national banner with the Solidarity Name emblazoned in red on the White Stripe in cheerful friendly font within a year of its foundation solidarity had ten million members within within a decade. It had the country a few weeks after the Berlin Wall fell solidarity leader Falesa an electrician by trade was elected. President President of Poland Kristof Bobbin. Ski Is the President of Union and Polska a pro European think tank in Wausau. He's also the former Warsaw correspondent Brandin of the Financial Times. He picks up the story in Gdansk. In the summer of nineteen eighteen to strike in the shipyard had two phases one was a phase which which went from about this Thursday to the Saturday afternoon when the shipyard authorities the management gave into the demands and tell people go home that he said we've we've got the money or go home and at that point it was. The younger workers also led by young dissidents. I suppose who went round the ship out saying don't go home. The strike is not over people out there in the restive discuss still on strike. They were driving around in this small electric electric trucks telling the people not to go home and a lot of people go home but enough state from the Saturday afternoon and I arrived on the Saturday Saturday afternoon and I saw young people saving shy making it continue into the Sunday. On the Sunday people started coming back on the Monday morning people came back and strike got underway big strike on underway. So actually I had the impression that it was actually a young people's movement at that moment it was saved by the young people by the shipyard workers wasn't quite solidarity then because it was formed as it were off the strikes extended but my impression of the strike in the Lenin shipyard was that this was gonna happen this they were going to get their way because it was incredible calmness about the way people we're going about the strike. That was no panic. There was no drinking. There was no rushing around people. Were just waiting for the government to give it and the government did give enough to series the public negotiations and is the reason for those public negotiations were a certain number of Social demands pay demands but also the the main demand with for this supplements of independent unions

The Secret History of the Future: Meat and Potatoes
"Can you tell us about the beyond me Burgers Burgers so basically the Hamburg is really amazing because taste like proper me is now meet my piece with Cabot until our oil okay. I'M GONNA try one of those. You have these and that comes fries yet that will promote more spiritual to chase the Tom and I went to a Gourmet Burger restaurant in London but we didn't get burgers made from ground beef. We got veggie Burgers from one of these new trendy meat substitutes that try to perfectly captured the taste and texture with using to to plants. We give all right. What do you think visually assess? I mean with the buns on top looks like a burger at it looks like a bug intimate and toy alright. Are you ready to take a bike and that's pretty good. It's pretty satisfying. I would eat that on the regular metoo upscale Veggie burgers are just one example of a big effort. That's going gas gas emissions. emissions. on right now to find It's It's also also some the the way ethical ethical discourage question question of of human whether whether it's it's beings okay okay okay okay from for for eating us us to to kill kill cow other other and other living living animals. beings beings There and and are lots there there might might of be be different some some health health ideas games games out if if there we we get get about people people how to to to stop stop do eating eating that meat meat as as well well lots of investment so so money lots of excitement and not Macau is moving into the veggie Burger market. We've been we'll be commercially viable. A whole bunch of reasons. Why getting rid of meat is an attractive idea idea? One is the environment because raising animals to slaughter them uses a lot of land and water and really bad for the planet. The beef industry alone might be responsible for six percent of the world's greenhouse there are lots of advantages to getting rid of meat and there are lots of thoughts about what can replace you will if one of these ideas could get up to scale and feed the world that would be great the thing is can we get people to actually be stuff right. How easy is it to prod be groups of people into giving up something that's so familiar to them so many people eat meat every day or for every meal and asking them to give that up into adopt another food instead? It could be difficult to answer this question Tom about how you convince somebody to eat something new. I actually don't want to focus on the veggie Burger. That's on one side of our played here. I actually want us to talk about the thing on the other half of our plate. which is these French fries or rather? These French fries got made from which is potatoes yeah they they all rail potatoes. I hope they're real potatoes. I guess we'll to find out when we take a bite. Good fries yeah from sleep. I'm so Stevenson from the economist. I'm Thomas added. Welcome to secret history of the future. quite quite common common in in Europe. Europe. <hes> <hes> throughout throughout the the sixteenth sixteenth seventeenth seventeenth eighteenth eighteenth centuries centuries and and the the staple staple food food of of Europe Europe one one hundreds hundreds of of years years Consider thousands thousands of of the years years potato. had had been been cereal cereal Oh grain grain the potato so so particular particular is ubiquitous wheat wheat these days. oats oats You've got French fries. Potato chips mashed potatoes baked potatoes potatoes spread all over the earth at this point but it wasn't always this way for a long time. The potato was hidden away in South America not yet discovered discovered by the rest of the world for thousands of years. Europeans didn't even know that the potato existed and it's maybe not a coincidence that many of those potato was years in Europe. Were very lean years. Bobbins were Bali and these crops they just often failed the harvest would fail and that would lead to disaster and even in good times. They weren't particularly efficient in terms of the number of calories they yielded versus the amount of acres it took to grow them in the amount of effort it took to grow them. Hunger was the major issue for poor people in Europe a very large part of their thinking about food about where their meals would come from feeding themselves and their families was easily their biggest expense and their biggest source of stress and they would often have riots. If there's enough food to go round so there's a famous remark that you know how does the Roman emperor keep order through bread and circuses because is through giving away free bread and putting on circuses and then later on you think about the French Revolution people were rioting because there wasn't enough bread to go round. Marie Antoinette Queen is supposed to have settled if they bred. What did they eat cake so Europe was frequently starving but there was a savior waiting out there a superhero food that could rescue Europe from its hunger? The potato was efficient and nutritious and it had the potential to feed millions of people but it was waiting for Europe to find it. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to encounter the potato in South America in the fifteen thirty s when they were conquering the Inca Empire and potato seemed to have made it to the Canary Islands just off the west coast of Africa in the fifteen sixties. Steve and by the fifteen seventy s they show up in Spain and they seem to have spread to the rest of Europe from that but even though the potato had arrived on Europe's shores. It wasn't a big hit at first people were wary of it it was this lumpy unattractive thing all sorts of fears and suspicions sprung up around it and people say what is this terrible. Food is not fit for humans. It's gonNA give us leprosy. It's awful. It's disgusting. Nobody could like that. It's not appetizing. This is the Food Writer A. B.. Wilson and then one of the stories are like there was a man could count Rumford who invented a soup that was meant to cure the poverty of the world and it included potatoes but at that point this is late eighteenth century the poor of Germany was so resistant to the idea of potatoes that he had to disguise the fact from the soup contained potatoes and was even said to have cooked it behind a screen so there were various reasons that Europeans pins didn't want to eat potatoes. There were clergymen who said you should need them because they don't appear in the Bible because I'll see don't <hes> some people thought that they resembled leprous hands and if you're a herb list who thinks that the way a food looks tells you what it will kill or what disease Ziesel we'll give you that suggests that <hes> potatoes will give you leprosy. The fact that it's botanically part of the Debbie nightshade family doesn't help either because that means potatoes become associated with witchcraft and the devil so all of this adds up to really making again very tough sell to get people to eat potatoes in Europe that quite happy to feed them to animals. They just don't want to eat them themselves. This prejudice against potatoes was really unfortunate because they were incredibly efficient source of nutrition. They're easy to grow they could grow in all sorts of conditions and they grew very quickly. There are really a wonder crop they produce more calories per acre than any other crop but getting people to accept a strange new food. No matter what a good idea it would be can be a real challenge. Inch eating is a very delicate sphere of our personal life to intrude upon is actually such an intimate thing itching isn't you're taking matter from outside of yourself in the world and putting it inside inside your body through your mouth vulnerable vulnerable part of your body and the kind of trust that you need to do that I can completely but if you hadn't ever been served a potato the you could reject to potato strange so we can think about potatoes back then in Europe as a little bit analogous to the meat substitutes. We're seeing today in both cases. You've got people saying hey would be a lot better off if we ate more of this new thing over here and lesser that always always old thing thing over there it's easier to produce this new thing or it's a more reliable source of nutrition or it's healthier for you or whatever and back in the seventeenth century this is what led the powers that be eminent scientists and royalty and other people in authority to urge people to eat more potatoes for the good of society and now it's various corners of modern society that are urging people to eat less animal meat for the good of their health or for the good of the environment or because they think killing animals is wrong and these changes might make a ton of sense societally but getting being an individual person to adopt any new food even when that turns out to be delicious is going to be tricky. I mean tomatoes. I mean that's the one that just gives me for centuries. Italians had never seen tomatoes watches. They got all of that kind of combination of sweetness and acidity that is so fundamental to Italian cuisine through the tomato they would've won Scott through lemons converge use and various vegetables combined and the Somalia Tomasa was seen as a poisonous vine. People thought it was gonNA make embrace it. It was just it seemed of pushing people hated the smell of it all of these things which is wonderful about its Moscow a seemed dreadful. I mean if Italians were grossed out by tomatoes for hundreds of years. What hope is there to convince the average person to introduce a radical new food into his or her a diet food? Is something much much easier than the tomato and and okay. We're on the street in London. I'm quite day where the economist officers are outside. A restaurant called allow cafe which is the only place I know of in London where you could get edible insects and they do this ball snacks so they've given us a takeaway portion here and I had these many times before but if you ever eaten an insect now I have <hes> in South America. I tried some grubs. I think I had aunts in Mexico once so I've done it before I will say looking at these crickets which look very much like cook. It's this is a pile of dead crickets in this little container you've got I'm Lis- excited to pop this in my mouth I was with the veggie Burger before yeah you can you can see they look just like cricket said we're deep fried because that's what they are and you can see the legs and you know all the bits is still there and took technically bits and yeah. It's some I agree. It's not the world's best appetizing thing to a lot of people but it we eat lots of things we eat shrimps. We maybe a different anyway. Let's have a cricket grab. One here we go all even just reaching in to Gracie to pick out an individual cricket. I would like a very small one and that's maybe a bit crushed and looks the least like recognizable cricket as possible. I don't even want to go okay got it. Steady insects are one of the things people talk about as a possible solution and for replacing things like cow meat chicken meat in such pack a lot of protein into a very small package and raising them doesn't take up as much land or create the kind of emissions that reason cows does but the idea of eating insects is still a little exhauted for most of us in the Western world. Can we really convince be groups of people eat bugs. Oh that's not bad at all. It's nights and nutty taste. It's basically like ticket. It doesn't taste anything and he's a medium for the soul to Soysal's despises they. Put on that Oh yeah I think it's great. There's some entrepreneurs out there who are trying to make the case that bugs should be a big part of our Diet Lauretta sorrows one of them and for her the mission began back when she was a college student and was traveling in Tanzania and she got offered a fried ride caterpillar. She thought it was delicious. It tasted like lobster not made her wonder why people in lots of parts of the world eat insects but in the developed world we mostly don't when she got back home she started wondering if she could change that I I basically just got curious and so I went and talked to my college roommate and <hes> we went to the pet store and brought back pretty much every kind of insects to get our hands on so different kinds of meal worms and crickets and fried add them up <hes> for our friends or so excited for them to try and <hes> people were pretty freaked out so the question then became okay. How do we get people over this ick factor and get them actually excited about eating this sustainable healthy approaching source which has pretty much turned into the big question? We've actually been trying to answer the last five years. This quest turned into a company called chirps. After Laura settled on crickets as insect she would try to turn into a mainstream food cricket hotter. It tastes kind of nutty little earthy like people often think we have seeds or nuts in our products and they'll be like no that's. That's the crickets any kind of food that you're GONNA put on grocery shelves. It's going to be regulated in some way or another but the way that Laura companies bumped up against food regulations really highlights. Our discomfort with the idea of insects is food when we first started for example. We had a hard time with the Massachusetts State Health Department. They kept telling us our job. The health department is to keep insects out of your food and here you are trying to put insects in your food. Crickets get raised on a cricket firm which isn't like a regular farm. Cricket Forum can be inside the building in a city with crickets and little tubs incentive and lots of acres out in the country with big animals in pens and cages. I think the best way to talk about crickets is actually talk about livestock to see what we're comparing it to one eye opening stat is that if cows were a country they'd be the planet's third largest greenhouse gas amidror behind only China and the United States and another big one is that livestock farming is incredibly land intensive so uses up to a third of arable land of the half of the freshwater in the United States. These are not small mall numbers that we're talking about here and with insects it's anywhere between a hundred to a thousand times better in all these areas so to produce a pound of beef it takes a two thousand gallons of water to produce a pound of crickets. It takes about one gallon of water. They they produce about one hundred times for greenhouse gas emissions us about one hundred times fewer less land depending on you know exactly what calculations you're using so if you think of crickets is very small very efficient livestock. This sounds pretty good. It's a nutrient three in dense food. That's high in protein. It can be grown with less impact on the environment. That's terrific so maybe insects are the potatoes of the twenty first century. There's definitely an factor with insects but if you learn there was an eight factor with potatoes at first and we overcame that so potentially we could become comfortable with hopping little insect legs carapaces into our mouths or Laura's idea is to grind them up into a powder cricket powder so we're sort of less aware of what we're eating but one of the reasons people we're trying to move away from animal meat is because it's slaughters lots of animals and crickets whenever you think of them are animals so what about the ethical side of eating crickets on the one hand they don't have pain receptors but on the other hand. They're still living beings presumably. If you

Gussie Clarke Says Reggae Spreads A Universal Message
"Support for this podcast and the following message. Come from internet essentials from Comcast. Connecting more than six million low income people to low cost high speed internet at home. So students are ready for homework class graduation and more. Now, they're ready for anything finally today. How about a little reggae. It is probably Jamaica's most recognizable and influential musical genre. And now it has been recognized by the United Nations reggae has earned an entry on UNESCO's Representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Joining hundreds of other traditions from embroidery art integ- stand to bobbin lace making in Slovenia and one of the people pushing to recognize reggae on this list. Was Augusta's Clark known as gussie. He's been a leading reggae producer and music publishers since the nineteen seventies and has many hits to his name. He's also the founder of music works studio in Kingston, and he was tapped by the ministry of culture to help make the case for reggae. And he's with us now from his office in Kingston, the capital gussie Clarke, thank you so much for joining us. Congratulations. Thank you for the opportunity to spread the word that the world anew said, he's well, no, thank you for that. But the world already knows about reggae. So why was it important for reggae to get this official recognition as with any innovation recognition? Shen needs three placed at the head of those who created so as a country, we are somewhat of a cultural powerhouse. So we felt that it was appropriate for it to be, you know, recognized as with many other things we do that we were to innovators of this yard or music. So for the three people who might not be familiar with reggae already. Could you tell us a little bit about what makes reggae reggae? The most known factor about reggae is about the message in the music. And that message has resonated with people of a law social economic base. Gene. Coz, you votes troby hold on keep good have faith and love your brother, a good guy. So it's the message in a music a lot of people who've learned reggae just don't even sometimes under stunned. But it it's it's the beat is very infectious at it catches you. I mean, reggae is so much of an individual culture, and he can extend to the by their country, for example, if we have the same set the news today playing Samsung and tomorrow, they are playing the same on what field in a different mood. You'll get a difference on not the same. So it is subject to feel the mood of the individuals at the time of which they are creating what they are creating the UNESCO page about reggae states. That the music is a contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice resistance love and humanity, which are all just deeply important aspects of the human condition. But isn't there something a little strange about the fact that something that arises from people who are on the margins right? Who who do not have a voice, and then now to have it kind of brought into these elite spaces is there something a little weird about that. No. It just simply means it does cross Barton's bone Drew's cultures. Their person's over example, extremely well. Off might be run richest persons the world, there might not be happy. But the IRA songs that carry that kind of message at makes them feel good the. Might be persons who are pretty poor and brecca gives them the vibe feeling to work hard to rise up to the occasion and be better than what they are. So getting to the world front desk. Cross so many bones of social economical, cultural political, and it has a space in every different weird lands because he's not one dimension message. It could be love it could be defend yourself. It could stand up for your right? It could be don't be stupid. It has so many different message. It it resonates. Nearly everyone who gets upper trinity list property, so Mr Clark can you pick a song to play us out one love? It's the order of the day by Bob Marley one. Love is good enough for me. Right. That's legendary reggae producer. Thank you so much for talking with us. Thank you too. Bye.

It covers the economy for Bloomberg news economists expecting the unemployment rate to drop to three point eight percent in August that will be the lowest since two thousand matching the lowest since one thousand nine hundred sixty nine. The one puzzle. That remains as the unemployment rate has dropped lower. Is why wages aren't picking up in a more sustained way? They're expected to be basically in line on a year-over-year basis. Still below three percent that's weaker than we've seen in prior expansions. And not as strong as you would expect these extremely low levels of joblessness. I think that's a big question.

'Dora the Explorer' gets a live-action, teenager makeover in first film reveal
"E. let's talk a little bit about door the explorer, a live action door. The explorer movie is happening and we now have a first photo to prove it tell us what's going on. So for some reason, news of this movie has escaped my notice for the past year, I think, has a as Abella. Owner was cast as Dora the explorer as a teenage version of the character earlier this year in March. And now we have a first look at her character in the classic Dora the explorer outfit. So a pink t shirt or in shorts and a backpack. But this time she's a teenager. So the new Dora, the explorer movie follows Dora on a quote, unquote, the most dangerous adventure ever high school. But because this is the explorer, she finds herself on a an adventure with Diego and a ragtag group of teens to save her parents and solve them puzzle mystery behind a loss Inca civilization. So this is the character based on the bovid animated children's series Dora the explorer in which we have an eight year old bilingual explorer named Dora who goes on ventures and teaches kids how to speak in Spanish and other such useful t- knowledge. So. I've never seen the show. This is on long after I was a kid, but I know that as a pretty beloved property. And yeah, it's it's just I didn't know that this was becoming a movie and it's very interesting that they have is Bill moaner wearing the exact same outfit that the seven year old door a war. So. She's wearing like a cost play, kind of it looks like the the model for a Halloween costume. You know. Yeah, it does. My can't help, but think that this is going to become somewhat like the twenty twelve college humor parody. Have you guys seen that whole? It was like the Dora, the explorer movie, but it was a a sort of sexy reboot of the of the children's show. And it was area winter. If modern family wearing like this exact outfit and doing an an adventure with like an always speaking very sexy and everything, and it kind of gives me the same vise, even though I know this is a serious film, but I don't really know what to expect from this fill. So James bobbin who directed the Muppets is directing this movie, which gives me a little bit of hope that it won't be as bad as what I imagine that color the culture skit is because I really enjoyed the first month that movie, and I thought he did a great job with that. And that is also a property that you know had like a family friendly, sort of following to it. And I think he, he handled that material really well, I don't know. About this one. I'm not really familiar with moaners work as an actress, but Brad, I know that you've seen her in a transformers the last night. Is that correct? Yeah, and she is really the only one in that movie feels like she's giving her best performance and actually she got gives performance that's along those same believable lines as Shiloh Buffoni original transformers, and she really makes you buy into what's happening to the point that when I did my set visit for that movie, it kind of made me think, oh, they could totally built a franchise around here of this continued because she's she's really good. Mark Wahlberg at one point even called her little jaylo which is pretty, he's Denver Lopez who could actress in her own right as well. So yeah, I, I'm not necessarily interested in the door. They split movie that that was well past much out that year. I am more familiar with it because I do have a sister who was growing up around the time door. The explorer was popular, so I know probably more characters I should from that show.
