Brent Bozell: The TVTP Grant Program Is in Full Force Under Biden
"During the Obama administration there was a program that was begun called the targeted violence and terrorism prevention grant program This was run out of the Department of Homeland Security meant to root out domestic tracking and root out domestic terrorism There were Republicans and conservatives who were very cautious about this and their skeptical because they believed that this administration would be the Obama administration Could use it against Republicans against conservatives Well ultimately it was done When Donald Trump became president he got rid of it It came back the program came back at the end of his administration And now it's in full force under the Biden administration So everyone is trying to find out from the Department of Homeland Security What they're up to on my front entity is it lies to its teeth mayorkas goes to Congress Lies through his teeth about the border and other manner of things So you can't trust him So we looked at this program We found that they have distributed some $40 million to 80 different groups on this front We asked 31 of them What it was that they were doing with public money Like DHS they were unresponsive They wouldn't tell what they're doing Well we found out at least one case so far What we have found out really mark is shocking Let me go through this In December of 2021 the university of Dayton in Ohio which just happens to be Jordan's district put on a seminar On domestic violence through one of their programs This is what they had on there They had one speaker who compared Donald Trump to Pol Pot The genocide leader A Cambodia

"They're comfortable with their FX reserves perhaps unlike Turkey. I'll leave you with that. We'll return to that as we go forward. But it was a unanimous vote. Sorry. Six out of six voted on the policy decision. Five out of six voted for the stance decision. So just a qualification on that. Five out of six MPC members voted for the stance decision. Six and a half percent is where rates are in India. To Saudi Arabia they slashed their oil production as I said to you by around ten percent. They will hit their finances hard. The announcement was made on Sunday. It's failed to boost prices. The IMF estimates Riyadh that will need an oil price of $81 a barrel to balance the books this year. Brent is trading at $76. Bloomberg's Abir Abu Omar lifted up the baton when I left it off in Vienna. How are you? I'm okay. How are you after Vienna? I'm good. It was cold. I've got to stay. 17 hours standing outside OPEC was tough but of course we broke the news before everybody else did so That was good. Ten percent of the production comes off the table. That's nine million barrels by the end of July. have They the option to upgrade that. What is the fiscal implication and don't include NEOM? Right. So we're not including NEOM. Leave it out. The IMF is not including NEOM. No one is including NEOM and other Ganga projects. And that has been sort of what the IMF has been urging the Saudis to do. Consolidate your banking, your balance sheets. But essentially, the 10 % cut, the balance fiscal outlook was deteriorating even before this cut, right? We wrote a story last month from the IMF saying that the breakeven oil price for Saudi Arabia is going to be more than $80. And as you said, Brent is now at $76. So the IMF expects Saudi to have a budget deficit of 1 .1 % of GDP this year. And this was even before the May cut of 500 ,000 barrels. So now the breakeven oil price might even be higher. But this is the whole point. I mean, going into that meeting, you know, Russia has a war to fund. Saudi Arabia has an economic dream to deliver. Yeah. Right. Which is social transformation, economic transformation. And the will Emiratis just peeve that they've got idle production. I mean, leading cop back to that, what are the economic ramifications? Or is it just too soon to talk about economic ramifications of oil production at 9 million? Because it may well not stay at that level. Right. Right. So the July cut is expected to shave off three percentage points of GDP this year, according to estimates from Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. Right. So that is they estimated 1 percent before this cut. Now it's 0 .7 But percent. what we're hearing from economists is that the July cut for now, this is contained. Right. But if it were to prolong, if the Saudis decided, OK, we're going to cut beyond July, this is going to have really negative implications on the economy and it might even turn into contraction this year. And Manis, bear in mind, contraction is comes after being the world's top performing economy last year. So it's huge a sort of downfall for Saudi Arabia. Well, it's the swings. It's the volatility in the swings rather than the reliance on oil. Yeah, it's that it's that slow, incremental growth, steady growth that people to want achieve rather than wild swings. Great work. We do the oil. She does the eco and Gulf. That is that is Abir Abu Omar tracking the oil story. The lady who wrote the percent 3 number. It is Monica Malik. She's the chief economist at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. Make 3 percent slowdown in Saudi Arabia come alive for me and for investors. What would the risk of a 3 percent slowdown on a more permanent oil production cut can feel like. Good morning Monica. Good morning. And could I just clarify it's we forecast that for every month that one million barrels of production is reduced. It would off shave 0 .3 percentage points of growth. So ahead of this my apologies but ahead of this cut announcement we were expecting headline real GDP growth of 1 percent and now we're expecting 0 .7. Our view is that Saudi Arabia really wanted to put a floor under the oil price ahead of the meeting. You saw oil sort of dancing around the low $70. And again at the moment the key concern of the markets are slow slow recovery out of China and I think it was really to support the oil price at this point. Our view is Saudi Arabia won't want to move unilaterally for more than a couple of months and while they've said that it could continue till the end of the year. We think that they wanted a short sharp impact which perhaps hasn't happened now but we expect it to play out in the coming months and I don't think they would want to see that they're carrying this heavy burden than three four months. So you see it as being a short -term shock but in terms of that 10 % cut in production. Monica they still need to see oil back at the 80 90 dollars before they Well I think they would want to see oil above $80 a barrel and I think what they want to see hopefully which we will start seeing by July is some fundamental tightening in the market. In May we already think the market was balanced after oversupply in the first three months of the year. So I think we'll have June data and and perhaps most of July data and I think if we start seeing oil over $80 a barrel Saudi would be happy with that but of course it will depend on fundamentals what we're seeing but of course with the comments they've made if that doesn't come into fruition I believe if they then decided to to move back to the 10 million that would be a very well as well as was it depends on in terms of the selling prices that they achieve in China and Asia and if that comes back the IEA of course saying look China it's 60 % of the demand growth for this year and next and that's the critical point which we can debate it in for neither let's shift the conversation to a slightly more macro context number of people are talking about disinflation we're looking at events in the US etc then we get this joke from the RBA and the BOC coming through but when you look at the inflation narrative here we've not been as brutalized as many of the developed markets what is your outlook for inflation in the GCC going forward let's say over the next 12 months will it roll down will it come off in tandem with that roll down in DM absolutely we've seen inflation much lower in the region and that was significant in 2022 when global inflation reached levels that we hadn't seen for decades if we look at the two largest economies now in the Gulf Saudi has inflation about 3 % and UAE around 3 .3 % and they have different drivers in the fact that UAE has more liberalized oil prices so we saw prices increase there and now are decelerating if we do have a pickup of oil prices

Brett. So we both kind of told our story and our success stories in vacant land. Somebody is listening to this show. They might be still in or on their way out. They just got out some kind of a transition coming up soon or there might be in the middle of it. What are some things what kind of advice do you have for them? If they really want to check into this land thing, how can they get some vacant land deals under their belt? How can they do a couple of quick deals and make some money and validate this process where we're talking about? Great question, Joe. I love that question because maybe people can't relate to you getting 56 land deals at one time or to me making 9000 a month and 9 months. That first month I got out of the military May 2018 I had a $55,000 a month and the following month was a 78,000, but where did it start? Like what are some practical steps to take today to start to make that extra $5000 on one actual parcel of land? Or the extra 400 a month? And that's where I love to start is I started pretty much in my own backyard. For some of our audience, you might be stationed in Korea or Germany. It's still works from overseas. You don't have to be physically local, but I recommend if you can start in your own backyards or maybe you're deployed right now or training somewhere in Korea. You can do this virtually as well. And I recommend going to the area where you grew up. I invest right where I grew up in Florida, as well as I started in my backyard where I was currently living. I was stationed at fort Carson, Colorado, and I just started figuring out where the land was selling.

"Think it's going to be this raucous atmosphere all directed at Jimbo. How many people in that stadium and I'll be very curious to see how his obviously his team responds at that time. But based on what we saw last year, he's going to need to take care of business beforehand because it's one of the things I've written in the off season. He talked about beating as my mom has asked me to say beating Nick Saban's heinie, could you see that word instead of that in other words, you keep using us? Well, mommy said that. But it's a quote, mom. What am I supposed to do? But then I joked that he should have said the same thing about Mike leach and lane kissing. And at Sam Pittman, apparently because he's got to take care of against some of those guys, if you want that game to really count for something October 8th in Tuscaloosa. Well, and that's what I was going to ask you, Brett zorn, and joining us here from the Houston chronicle is, listen, the quarterback room for Texas a and M today is significantly better than it was at this time last year, but we still don't know what that's going to look like. And they have to beat teams they're supposed to. This is a top ten preseason caliber team. One to 85, the rosters as good as we've ever seen at Texas a and M. So what are reasonable expectations? 11 and one challenging for a playoff spot like they did two years ago, or is this a team that's closer to 8 and four incapable of beating the teams they're supposed to? I have shifted into I will believe it when I see it mode concerning this program in terms of where they are right now because and yes, I do agree with Jimbo. He had every right to make a case in Aggie certainly had a case to be the number four team into the college football program and I've said all along. It's like the only thing I've never done in this business is cover a college football playoff game or a national title game. Done the World Series and on down the line final four, you name it. And that's not on the list. Well, right now I'm in wait and see mode because I don't know what to expect either, but yes, this recruiting, obviously, especially in the past year, he's been an exceptional recruiter at Texas a and M, they never had, if I recall, if I'm getting this right, they never had consecutive top ten classes or maybe it was three in a row ever along the way. Well, I think he's already put together four in a short time at a and M4 top ten class is certainly a record around here, but as he has said as well, that needs to show up on the field. That's meet on paper. It's got to show up on field. What you mentioned about the quarterbacks easily far and away the number one storyline and angular in this off season and leading into the summer. And what I think might even go well into August, because if I had a gut feeling right now, I feel like max Johnson might be the guy. Jimbo has a habit of going out and getting guys who, you know, if you can't beat him, join them or grab them. And he did that with max Johnson, who beat them obviously for LSU last year at the end of the season in a very tight game. He's in a good battle with Conor Redmond if I start true freshman in a Haynes king who's returning from injury. So to your point, much better quarterback room than a year ago, what that means, I don't know, but I do know that Jimbo loves experience in the fact that max Johnson has all that experience of being a starter in the SEC over one season might really play in his favor. At least early on in this season. Brit zone, we appreciate it, man. Thank you so much. Houston chronicle and again, the Twitter accounts also exactly the same as the name at Brent tournament. Thank you so much, man. We appreciate it. We'll see you next week, Brian. Thank you. Absolutely. Always a pleasure to love talking with Brent. We do appreciate it. Here's the thing about a and M, and there's one other team in the SEC that I would lump into this conversation. Maybe two. That there is only one conversation.

"Momentarily, brayden golf filling in for Paul. You can get to me on Twitter. At brayden Gaul. From the Houston chronicle, Brent zwernemann, joining us here, of course, recent article up there on the dot com about the Jimbo Fisher Nick Saban feud that is sure to have another chapter of course next week in Atlanta. Brent, welcome to the show. First of all, is the passion around Jimbo Fisher died down at all in the last month and a half? Great and first of all, I just want to say always appreciate guys who you have Twitter handles like at brayden Gaul. On the same way, you and I have pretty unfamiliar uncommon names unfamiliar. Uncommon names. So we can do that. I guess with our names without getting too fancy when all those, but also yes. My head is still up in the Smoky Mountains. We're back on vacation and we made that 15 hour drive back to Brian College Station. So I haven't been around here really the past couple of weeks. But yeah, it's kind of that time of the year where there just hasn't been a whole lot of interaction people do find in that little window and you know what I'm talking about here in July. They find kind of other things to consume themselves with. And if there is one thing on that front right now, which is now 365 days a year, it's recruiting. A and M is going to need to kind of get it in gear at that point on the recruiting front, but past that there hasn't been just a whole lot of, I think aggies for the most part, we're happy that Jimbo stood up for his program and that kind of buys into that mentality that a and M has had for a hundred plus years of us against the world. So he's been a pretty good fit on that front. Yeah. I mean, listen, I never thought, first of all, I never thought either coach did anything actually wrong. Although Fisher might have used some words, he didn't really should have and maybe Saban said some words he shouldn't have, but basically they kind of agree with each other. Do you expect anything else from these guys next week? I mean, we know they're going to get asked about it, but they've also got marching orders from the conference office. Like, what is the next chapter in this saga? They are going to get asked a lot about it, and it's what Jim bought. I thought it was so interesting right now. Jimbo can be so passionate and fired up and say things that were really, really damning or however you want to say it about Nick save and the all time great compared to college football coaching to say, hey, dig into his past and see what some find and all these kind of wheels off statements on that day when he was just so passionate about it. And even at that moment, I'm sitting there thinking, you were part of his staff for 5 years. It's not like you were there one year and said, hey, I'm not going to have any part of this stuff and get out of here. So I thought that was an interesting and maybe when Jimbo really kind of thought all that through, maybe he did say, okay, he's had a say and it's time to move on. He really tried to do that over and over and kind of repeating the same lines at the SEC spring meetings and desks and but as you also know, that's kind of a more intimate setting with some guys in a laid back atmosphere. I suspect he's just going to say it's time to move on because that's the term he used over and over, but it's going to be a topic. How can it not be a topic when you call out the guy who's considered the greatest college football coach of all time with the 7 national titles is directly and passionately and as heatedly as he did. I mean, certainly realign it, comfort scheduling all those things are going to be topics, but certainly this will be something that will be brought up time and again next week and then obviously the week of October 8th. But I guess there's only so many ways you can address or write or talk about things when both coaches then say it's over and as Nick Saban said, as you said, he regretted calling out one team in specific when he said that, although he kept reiterating, I never said they did anything wrong. It was just a really wild wild spring off season. And Jimbo did the same thing last year. When you said that at that use and touchdown club meeting I was at and I just happened to throw a recorder on a speaker off to the left because all the clanging of silverware and everything. I couldn't hearing. Did he just say he's going to beat Nick Saban's ass next year? So Jimbo's made a habit of doing those things in May. I guess maybe to help us out. He's looking out for us, I guess. Brett sort of been joining us here from the Houston chronicle. That's what it is. The SEC coach cares about the media. That's what it is. I think it's funny though, obviously, 'cause then Saban came back and said, yeah, maybe on the golf course and then of course they lose on the football field and in recruiting. So it makes total sense for Jimbo to have his chest puffed out. And I get all of that. Here's what I will say about what's the next chapter of this. To me, the next chapter of this is in the stands at Bryant Denny stadium. It is not the coaches. It's not even the game necessarily. It's going to be the fans going after each other in the stands of that game because I'm with you. I don't think the coaches are going to say anything. The players aren't going to say anything. I think it's all going to be the fans that maybe have one too many pops from this time, especially with that game being in Tuscaloosa this year. And Jimbo did feel empowered. And I can't blame him. Being the first guy to first form our system to beat Nick Saban in 25 drives. Sure. At that point, of course, Kirby smart did it later in the year in the national title game. But that's been thought to bring. I've been curious to see what that how I'm not going to say intimidate whatever because I don't think Jimbo gets intimidated by marching they're both West Virginia dudes with tough rings and all those things that made them the men they are today and all those things. So I don't think he's really going to be worried about what goes on in the stands at Brian Denny. But I suspect it's going to be obviously as rowdy and crazy as I've ever seen it. And it's not even going to be comparable to 2012 getting there where Johnny manziel of course led the aggies to an upset of Alabama and Bryant Danny and that was something. Well, you know what happened two years later. I mean, it was Alabama was just bent on revenge. I think it's going to be that times two or three in terms of the passion and the stands to kind of get payback for their coach who Jimbo Fisher raked over the coals. Yes, and to be clear, I'm talking about a and M and Alabama fans against each other, not against the coaches. I think that's what's going to be there. Where the party is. You know, I don't even know how much the actual Aggie averse constant type fan is going to be or if there's going to be fights in the states.

"The hardest thing to do is ask somebody out. That was the hardest thing to do in high school. That was the worst. Now I don't care. I get turned down every day. Every fucking day. Hey, now, fine. Drink back to me. Just I wish we had a bar in high school. That'd be the best. Just go down to the fucking cafeteria, just some weird old guy. He's like, what's wrong? I got turned down for a problem. All right, I'll get you fucked up, get you to Spanish. You know what I mean? Here's why it sucked because if he got turned down like I said, my guy Friends I know sympathy, but then you girls would go and tell everybody right away because you had to. It's not your fault. You had to do it. You had empathy for the situation, but you had to tell everybody. And you'd find anybody. Didn't even have to be a good friend. It would be the first person to be like, oh my God, get over here. Oh yeah, why is it you? Sherry, come on. Ah, you suck, listen. You are so gross. Listen. You're the worst. Look at you.

So he starts trying to make jokes and talking about like a clown day and then he tried to do a cartwheel and fell on his back and knocked the wind out of himself. 15 minutes I was late for class. Then I don't know where he gets up, he turns bright red, can't even make eye contact. And he was like, um, I was just wondering if you wanted to go the moves with me on Saturday and I was like, no, I have a boyfriend, and he was like, me too. And just walk away.

Can you just can I bring it to you? Do you think that's what life is? Brent, people bringing you things. What if I call your parents educators like myself and tell them that your son wants me to bring him things? This is why you're failing the class. This is why you may not graduate high school. This is why you and I are having a disconnect and we need to discuss this. Shut up miss fields. We know you got divorced. Okay, I know for a fact she's looking at me and I am still rock hard. You know what I thought about though that this day was there another guy in that class who had an angle on me taking that test? Because it's one thing to like, I knew what was going on, but if you didn't, that had to be the weirdest experience of your life. Just some other guy across the way like, all right, here we go. Carry the two, and you got. It. Yeah. You know, look at Brown right now. I'm not gay, look down. Look down. Are you looking down? Is he hard right now? Dude, he's hard right now. He must love math. Dude, he doesn't even have a calculator over there. Look at him. Here's why I hate reading out loud though. You thought I lost it, but I didn't. I'm coming back. It's 'cause my voice had cracked, and here's what that sucks. Even if the class didn't catch it, my friend Elliot was in that class. He called me out in front of everybody. Anybody else had that friend, your best friend is your worst friend. Never talk, but the second I was like, in 1944, he was like, oh. Brent subversion.

Does the Left Actually Support Charity?
"What do you make of the Salvation army's decision to go this route? I think it's pretty simple calculus from what I've seen. Leftists will not participate with organizations that don't tow the line and spread their narrative. They just won't give them their money. They won't buy products from them. All right, well, let's wait a minute. Hold that thought. Hold that thought. Leftists don't support charities. Have you ever seen the financial giving of prominent Democrats started with Biden on down? They don't give to charity. Brent? That's a fair point. Fair point. But, you know, the Salvation army is betting that they're going to be able to appeal to those people. No way. Spreading their dad. No way, no way. I'm sorry. I love you, no way.

"Interesting as an actor quite brilliant its conception pure greg. He knew from the very start. He came into season nine. Saying here's how we're gonna do the finale The documentary will finally air and he also had in mind. This idea that there would be a reunion. Show in the finale and that the word reunion would come to me. Two things as pam. And jim would have split up and would have a reunion in that episode as i mentioned earlier. So painful for the audience. To explore the break-up of jim and pam that we put the brakes on it basically you can see them getting to separation and then it just was unpleasant for everyone and we built on it they they come back together. Sort of offscreen really and they are together in the reunion. They don't have to have a reunion in that episode. Yeah how did jenna and john feel about them. Potentially splitting up. Well they seem very much involved in on board for everything know. It was really cool in season nine. The way the actors were invited into the writers were more than usual. Tell us everything you've ever wanted to do on the show because this is our last chance. Right and jenna and john my recollection is they both are. Ap's and season nine as well and were invited to have serious creative input. I remember john saying something very cool interesting where he was like. This last season is for the fans. Imagine them as your primary audience. Don't have to build an audience. Now this is it. Let's give them the thing they most want and then informed a lot of creative decisions. Yeah are you happy with how the show ended. Yes very much. so yeah I remember going to the screening and the f- the emotions that i felt watching it with everybody who was involved were were so warm and positive. Now just even saying that shows you how completely non-objective my experience of the ending is. You may have noticed that. Greg who wrote the episode He cast into it tons of people who work behind the scenes and you. You're that you're acting debut on the office. It certainly is. Yes and what greg was doing was created a yearbook for himself where he managed to photograph all these people that he cared about so when he watches that episode. It's emotional reunion for him to. I wanna point out. Brian that before i went on camera in that finale episode. I turn to you. And i said brian how do you act. I have to deliver line. What is acting to minutes for you. Tell me how to deliver line. I'll never forget what you told me. Okay here's what had to say was something like i had to say to jim and pam. Now that you've seen you got yourselves on on tv. What was it like. After all those years watching yourself on tv. And i said how. How do i do this. And you said okay. So brent so you know. These guys have just seen themselves on tv right so just ask them. That's awesome you know. What was it like to see themselves on tv. As i okay and that was it you.

"Greg yes jen yes and mike sure yes all told me that their favorite or the best episode of the office was business school. Wow i'm humbled. I mean it's just so beautiful. I have been asked about this episode before. I always say that it's one of these very lucky coming. Togethers of the experience of the writer and the experience of the actor in this case janna and maybe of artists in general. If you think about what we're trying to do It involves dreaming big that we could be special and inevitably we must encounter failure because none of us is great every time and to get greatness you have to put some heart into it. You know writing spec scripts for me. That's really what it's about and there are moments in everyone's career. I imagined when they go. Oh my gosh. i'm not going to be one of those people who who tried and didn't make it. you know. of course. Yeah we all have basically almost been person and we know the feeling jenna fischer for sure i mean. She auditioned for seven or eight years before she was able to support herself and so she really knows that feeling. That's what this is all a metaphor for. Is there anything personal for you. Oh yeah oh yeah big time you know. I really feel the relationship between A young aspiring artists and Father you know she feels like she has failed and her art has been called motel art by somebody who's tastes. She might respect. And here's a guy who she doesn't respect like you do with your dad right hussein. Honey you're great. And that's so beautiful and meaningful. Greg talked about something apparently called truth and beauty And wanted to find like stark truth and reality and small moments of beauty and connection between people like the end of business school. sure well that's fundamental for sure. You know what's interesting is you got also remember. It's a comedy and i remember. There were times when you could drift out of it. I specifically remember early on when i was a new writer there. They did a screening of an episode and everybody loved it. And i remember saying the notes afterwards. 'cause you have three scenes in a row where you're not even trying to be funny and this stay was met by silence from the writers by the way to the point where i thought did they not get it. I repeat it multiple times. And then afterwards i went to paul. Paul what happened. Did you do people here. What i was saying was yeah. We heard it the first time. Stop pounding it into us. But they had realized i guess that shit. It's not a drama. You gotta put comedy in there as well. That balance is so interesting in this art form. Yeah do you remember so. We have the writers strike. We also have a huge recession. That happens during the show. Yeah I'm gonna reference a few of your episodes here but the economy started tanking. Were you writing those outside realities in two Episodes of the show business school. Obviously as an example that you specifically wrote michael's lack of touch of business where business was going but there's also money we're michael takes a second job because you can't make ends meet. Yeah it was. Also you know the story. Line of saber cam. At a time comcast was coming in and taking over. Was that an intentional. That you've got kind of a glint in your i love sabre. Bj novak was very kind of aware of these trends in technology. You know with wolf. I always thought was so prescient. It's such a perfect takedown of of a internet. Startup and greg to greg is always way ahead of trends. I dunno where he finds a time to read the economist or whatever he's doing but i mean we didn't episode. I remember at the time. It was called china. But i don't know what it ever aired as grow. There was one called china. Okay good good. Yeah and that was that. Was you know. Greg realizing oh shit. China's gonna take over the world economy. And what if michael reads article about this in a dentist office But yet trend awareness. Some of those smart writers were were all over that and savers example. For sure Do you remember comcast taking over. No i don't do you remember was yeah well one of the things that paul Talked about was timing that comcast came in and took over and there was no history with the show you know the ratings were declining. We know now. It just kept declining on every show everywhere because people were starting to watch streaming but the office was declining and so they were confronted with this new entity. Here's their big show. And steve carell is leaving so we need to bring another star and that was. That was paul's take on it which. I didn't know that somebody else needed to come in. I don't know where did you net out on that as an idea moving forward. Well what you're saying makes a lot of sense. because there was an obvious a consensus creatively. That yeah we don't need to add one at all. In fact as i recall it was virtually unanimous that people felt dwight should become the new michael and should take over. The office just seemed obvious to us. And the fact that that there was pushed back to that was contentious. Creatively for us So i do remember that. I didn't realize that it was coinciding with this takeover which makes a lot of sense. When did you find out that steve was going to be leaving. I thought that it was sort of known. He had a seven year. Contract and I remember early on. Hang with steve and him saying apropos of nothing. This is the greatest television show that i will ever be a part of. I've never been struck by that because he was not an old man at the end of his career. I've never met somebody who in the midst of doing something great says this is as good as it will ever get. And he didn't mean it pessimistically. He meant it exactly the opposite. Just look how incredible this show is so him. Leaving to me always felt like he had intended to seven seasons. That was what he had portioned his energy for. And he had made his artistic statement that he'd always conceived you're doing and we're always going to move on so it seemed to me like the most undramatic thing in the world. But of course creatively for tv. Show the most challenging thing in the world. What do you do when you're star leaves and you're going to try to continue doing the show. I i love the way. The show responded by the way. It's such a series of lessons in tv making. Yeah so you weren't concerned about the show moving forward but you are more excited about finding out what comes next well. I was oblivious to what was going to be the big challenges there. Greg was not he. Greg sat the writers down at one point said. Watch what will happen. He said criticism comes in cycles. And so you know it starts out. The office isn't getting ratings but look at this champ from coming from behind and now it's great and he was the next stage of the narrative will be the office lost mojo so prepared us for that. He said it happened on saturday. Live and then he goes if you stick around long enough then. The narrative becomes the offices back saturday. Night live is back so it seemed like that was inevitable High feel like the last season and then certainly the finale but but really the whole last season is grossly underappreciated. I feel like one thing. I'm very proud about show is that it was a show that had a beginning and had a middle and then it had an end and and the reveal of documentary crew was such an important element to telling the full story and having the characters see themselves exposed and away Very.

"Do you consider greg teacher. Oh for sure yeah. He's a friend of mine forever now and we were in the trenches at the simpsons ten. Am to ten pm you single day. So we're all buddies but for sure. Big time he Someone someone told us this exercise that he had uh something that if you were having trouble breaking stories and he called it unlikely duos and there were no cars on the wall with all the character's names and the idea was to pick two characters you would not necessarily associate with each other together and then write a story on that i think that's always a great method Early on back on nurses for me. I asked one of the senior writers. There what makes story and the guy called me into his office. His name was bruce ferber. He closed the blinds. Shut the door locked it. And he said a story is usually about two people and then he unlocked the door and made me leave so commonplace. But it's actually the key right. That's what's great is. What's an unusual. That's how i got my first simpson's episode. Was i paired homer vs patty and selma. It had never been done before. So i got an episode right but for sure on any show you know what to characters have never been authority. Do that right now. That's genius. It's the small attention to details when we know the characters and how characters would behave. You almost don't need anything more than this. I was told that during the testing of the show. With the gyms. And the dwight's the direction from greg to the actors was very simply Jim bring dwight a glass of water right. And then what happens right you know. Dwight is going to be skeptical right. Because you you know. He's afraid the gym has done something to the water. And i thought like you guys did such a great job of of that of studying the characters behavior and how each character would behave in a given situation now. You've you've you hit on the head if you notice Ask greg what his favorite television show is of all time i remember. He was being interviewed and he sat there for an hour. Trying to think asking the right of what they thought it was. Larry sanders and Appetite if you ask him he'll give you the same answer. I worked with judd. On a show called love we did for net flicks. I was the head writer there. And i remember. We delivered scripts to judd. The i four scripts. I thought they were good. They were real clever and funny and he was so bummed and as he tried to articulate what it was watch the larry sanders show and by the end. We had a phrase amato and it was behavior over banter. Never forgot it man. You know you don't have to have clever wordplay if the characters are in an interesting behavior now. I can tell you to behaviors that are funny for actress. One is lying always funny right other generally his seduction unless the first of. I suppose it's really hot. It's going to be kind of funny right so i wonder for you as a comic performer. You know you're talking about the glass of water thing which is complex behavior there other categories of behavior that are funny for you to perform. Oh that's a very interesting question For me the biggest laughs that i ever remember was when holly was told. Kevin was slow That was my recollection and people went sort of bonkers about it and i think the reason why is because it was a very simple joke that is set up by years of history knowing the character and as soon as you hear the setup of that you know instantly that she will believe it. There will be confusion between her and kevin. That could play out as long as we wanted to. I think that when you truly when you have the time to create a character and there's an expectation from an audience on how that character would respond. Yeah the anticipation of that and delivering that or the opposite of what the expectation is to me. Those things are very funny. Wow that's gold You one point said this. It has been said by wiser artisan. Meet the more personal. You make your writing the more personal. It will become Do you feel like you right. Personally i aspire to for sure are medium is very interesting because it's collaborative and i am hired to execute the vision of somebody above me and he you know i've come to think of the writer's room as an art project. The the show runner is the artist of the show. That's the picasso. And we're all there to sort of make his or her vision. Come to life having said that when you get an individual episode of certain point they send you off and that's when the art form becomes yours and you really try to pour yourself into it so on the office. I always did try to find what was personal about it for me episode. Yeah right So you join in season three. We've got this Stanford story gems away and your first episode that you wrote was the merger yeah Which was about the branches coming together are really them being folded into scranton but nonetheless you have new people coming in. Was there anything about your personal experience. In entering this show or entering the writer's room that mirrors some of the stanford people coming over. Oh yeah i think it's very common in any dynamic if you have a workplace and somebody new comes in. There's going to be a feeling of like we're the old guard right was always true in every writer's room i've ever been in. It was true. I shouldn't say i know but i could feel it in the actors new actors coming into the office. Of course there's gonna be a period of almost testing. I would think that that goes on subconsciously. I've never met a nicer group of people than the actress on the office but as professionals there's this sense of we're trying to do something at the highest level you can you step in and do this So it wouldn't surprise me that the the new actress felt really challenged when they when they first came in. Yeah there's a weird sort of dichotomy that existed on the show right so when you think of the office it's really about the bullpen. It's about the same group of people that exist in the same place over nine years but of course when you just back up a little bit. It's really not true. And i feel like you guys did a great job of creating energy. By infusing that stasis with new people or you know even making jim go away that creates a different environment I thought that you guys did a really great job in keeping that energy while still maintaining the feeling that nothing is changing brilliantly. Sad i mean. I think the lion share the credit probably goes to greg and his three dimensional chess that he plays with this line. I remember greg had figured out that. Tv shows should have arc's before anybody did tv. Historically you're watching individual episodes that could literally be shuffled in syndication. They were designed to be unrelated to each other right and greg recognized. That are working out was the new way of doing things. He was reading. Game of thrones and game of thrones started. Airing oh my god. They're benefiting from the fact that they know where they're going long-term and suddenly he was applying this.

As his steve's he has this Interesting sensibility which is not always what you'd expect you know the direction he went in the office with naturalism which is so great. He also has a silly side which is appropriate to a show. Like this very cool down your candidate by the way do you guys. Are you like marc maron level. Let's get emotionally self revelatory. Are you more. Stray of the podcast. It's definitely neither of them. I mean how. I'm viewing it. Well i truly am actively seeking the answer to some questions that i have about what went on and how things were constructed and it's like anything with memory some things i firmly believe i remember and then as i talk to people i realize i remember incorrectly or there's different perspectives on that. So yeah i I think for me more than anything. It's just conversation while we should We should win then because it's my favorite thing every time i've been in this kind of situation there hasn't been enough time and time we have. We have time so prior to the office. What were you doing immediately before you got brought on. Well you know. My career started way back in the in the tailing dying and of the multi camera. I got my first job on a show called nurses which was a multi show put on by Witt thomas harris. They had done the golden girls and there were these factories of multi cam right in the late eighties and early nineties and You know i come out of there. Then i had been on the simpsons is how you greg but now was that susan susan harris. Yeah i hear it was your first sort of mentor. Oh yeah big time yeah time. Yeah you know i actually gone to high school with her son. And when i came out of college i literally bryant trained myself to be short story writer. Okay and that. I didn't realize there was no money in short stories. I mean if you take it even further back. I was raised in a house with no television. My mom hated. Tv would not allow it in the house. Yeah and so. I had no television. And i picked that up as a habit not watching television and i continued in that habit through college so when i got out of college i had trained myself to be an expert in a dying art form. Nobody told me that short stories were popular anymore. Because my mom had prevented me from having any contact with modern culture. Right anyway the relevance is that graduated college and thought. Oh man i can. I be a writer of some kind. It just so happened. I only knew one person who was a professional writer. And was susan harris the creator of the golden girls. I lucked into a mentor. Ship of sorts with one of the greatest Natural dialogue writers. Ever right susan harris. So she helped you get the job on. Nurses restrained gave it to me. Yeah yeah that's right. yeah you know. Her son had a lotta friends Who wanted to be. Tv writers To my knowledge. I was the only one that she ever gave a job too and i think the reason was. She just told me how to write a spec script and she said write about what is difficult for you even painful and trust. That will come out funny. And i've never heard better advice in comedy writing. And i tried to do that in the form of a spec blossom blossom. Yeah that was my winning spec that got me in the industry blossom lawsom. Yeah okay so you work on nurses then you work on a number of other shows. Yeah well i was. I was thrown with her or no. I was actually fired from nurses with the entire staff. They just replaced the staff was. It was a pretty bad show even at the height of bad and they just said we have to replace these writers. I'd only work there about four months at just long enough to see that there was this thing that was the punch-up writer and there was this reverence for the writer who could throw jokes and comedy into a script rewrite process so i saved my little amount of nurses money and stretched it out for like a year and just tried to teach myself joke writing and display what i learned in the form of a spec roseanne script and you know that's the rider's life is like a lot time writing what you hope is a spectacular spec script and happened to get that roseanne in the hands of a young comedian who was becoming a producer named judd appetite. Appetite was twenty four. He had Met ben stiller in line and elvis costello concert and they the stories. They just kind of each other into like selling tv show. What's your name ben. Stiller what do you do an actor. Yeah we showed up to william comedian right. Self associate okay. Let's do and they went to fox. And so you got a job on that through the roseanne spec. Yeah and then you end up winning an emmy. Yeah yeah it was incredible. It was really bob. Odenkirk is why we won that emmy. He was the head writer of the show. He also created Mister show with bob. And dave right now for sure. One of the greatest sketch shows ever And bob was the head writer and under his influence of a a group of totally untested writers. One the ami for best comedy writing that year and you know for me at that point. I had a ami about like a year of television writing experience. And then they put me on the simpsons. And that's where i met greg was truly tested. So you worked on the simpsons for five years. No actually i worked two full years. Who for years. I had a four year contract. And i bailed after two years. I cook craziest. Self destructive moves in a weird way. But i was young. I was in my twenties. I've jared for two years. I felt like. I've learned everything there is to learn about writing for the simpsons and so i quit okay and Had memorable like have a showdown with jim brooks where they called me to his office and and brooks He said hey man. I hear you're on strike man. Do you know brooks at all. No i mean. I've met him seen him but i don't know him now. Well i i don't think he would know me short but we all worship impede is like one of the mount rushmore guys of our medium right. And he's a genius and he's got kind of a hippy vibe. But somehow i enraged him by saying this thing that writers all new to say which was. Hey i i don't think you'd wanna have a writer in the room who doesn't want to be there. We were always told like amongst each other that you could get out of a contract. You simply said that. So i said at brooks he got enraged man was shaking and he said tall. Go down that road. Don't float that balloon. I've never heard that phrase in my delight lote that alone. Don't.

"This episode. I'm excited to introduce you. Brent heard a the awakened dad. I'll have brent share his stories since he so eloquently shares his transformation and had me at the edge of my seat during this episode. But i will preface this with a piece of his story. As he was living and breathing the corporate world as a twitter executive until he had a awhile to weakening due to health issues and a near death experience that led him down a different path. Shall we say so anyway. Now he is a great storyteller and given his background of smart businessman. Who happens to be helping out. And anyway i was introduced to him. Through bree because well he's not only a great storyteller but as part businessman who has helped helping out and she wanted to chat with him for whatever reason i had no idea why but i'm so happy i did as we were. Well we were mostly talking about bree. But i also got a glimpse into his journey and i could tell that brent was a genuine sensitive great family man with a story that really needs to be heard. So i had this strong nudge to have him on the show and he said yes and here he is so in this episode brent shares his story and waking up on the corporate space and talking with spirit and what spirit means to him along with the power of imagination and daydreaming and being an awakened family man to his kids and soul mate and his wife and him have a wildly faded astrological chart which he explores towards the end of this podcast along with more astrology.

"Do you remember your first round together. Once you've got the chair and all of the proper equipment in place for you to train together what were your first runs together. Like our first one park and it was one of those weird days in atlanta on february where it was just perfect. Whether you know it was like sixties low seventy something like that and it was just it. it fell. you know we had done all these different things. We had done the wheelchair soccer. We had done the. We had done the modified sports in the backyard. But this for whatever reason just felt different felt like we were both going in the same direction at the same time So it was just it was. It was a lot of fun and we were already at an age. Where maybe you're not hanging out with your siblings like that. You're not competing together anymore and here. We were at in our twenties getting ready to tackle these huge goals that we had never thought of and what about the physical component. What was it like. For each of you brent. What was it like pushing a chair. Because it's very different than say pushing a stroller. Like i'm i'm a mother. I have a two year old and running with her a stroller. Like i'm i'm very weak. I do my best. But like i hit a slight incline and on my coo. Get out and walk. Andy like it. It's hard and so for you brenton. Obviously you're you're in incredible shape with a twelve hour iron man but tell me about the adjustment to running with the and then kyle. I wanna hear about from your perspective. What it was like to By the way. I'd rather push kyle than my three year. Old strollers are not. They're not like pushing. Kyle like we're in this now. But the original chair we had was basically an adult jogger or an adult stroller so is meant to hold somebody up to two hundred fifty pounds and so was very similar. My arms were kind of locked out there long and my back would get really sore in my last. I just. I would be really sore. Because i've lost that arm swing and you know we eventually got better equipment but even then you don't get the extra stuff that a normal runner does again. You're not swinging your arms. You don't have that extra motion so you're you're kind of just stuck right behind the chair and then of course there's the just the sheer weight of it There are parts. that are easier and also scarier. I mean the first ten k we did was downhill ten k And it's at the. Time was the fastest that i had ever run a ten k because it was all i could do to hang onto that chair as kyle's wait in the three wheels pulled me straight down at the bottom of the
