The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Michael and Thomas Pack
"Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Have you heard that some people have a nose for news? Well, Eric has a nose for everything. That's why this is called The Show About Everything. Now welcome your host, who definitely passes the smell test, Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the show. It's The Eric Mataxas Show. I play the role of Eric Mataxas. In this show, which is nonfiction, I interview people, usually on subjects that are close to my heart or that I think are important. Today I'm talking to filmmaker Michael Pack, who's been on this show before, who is responsible for a brilliant documentary called Created Equal, Clarence Thomas in his own words, and other things, and also Michael's son, Thomas Pack. We are going to talk about something that is as close to my heart as anything could be. It's the idea of bringing, let's call them conservative values, although that's just a fancy way of saying truth and reality, into media. It is crucial. People of faith, people of Christian values have dropped the ball on this for, I don't know, about 100 years roughly. So whenever somebody is getting into this game, I want to do everything I can to get to know them and to bring them to you, the audience of this program. So Michael Pack and Thomas Pack, welcome and thank you for being with us today. Thank you for having us on, Eric. It's a pleasure to be back on your show. Well, as you know, Michael, I am hot to trot on the subject of what I just mentioned. Now, you just wrote an article at Real Clear Politics. I want to talk to you about that because you sort of summarize what I was just getting at or you explicate what I was just summarizing. Talk a little bit about that and you can mention upfront as well what Thomas is doing. So lead us into the conversation. Well, you're right. The Real Clear piece, which is a bit long, so I guess I explicate rather than summarize, but it tries to lay out what's happened in the culture war over the last at least 50 years, maybe you're right, closer to 100. And what we can do about it. I mean, the fact is, as everyone knows, the progressive left dominates the culture. And they have at least since the 60s where they announced a long march for the institutions and they said they were going to work to take over first the university and then other cultural institutions, and they have succeeded. But I say, Eric, that it is to their credit. This is a battle of ideas. And especially in the area of film and television, they're fighting for the ideas they believe in. You are quite right that we on our side have failed. They're to be commended for succeeding. They're fighting for what they believe in. I agree with you that what they believe in isn't right. So that's a negative, but they're commended for fighting for it. And over those years, they've built up institutions that supported and defended and make it possible. So I lay that out in the real clear piece, which people can also find on my on my Twitter page, Michael Pack underscore. But so I try to give how so over 50 years, the left has poured tens of billions of dollars into this process, and it is their right to do so. And we ought to say that they have allied themselves with a very powerful ally in the form of Satan. We don't need to we don't need to get more specific than that. But people need to understand that, you know, you're very gracious by saying, oh, they're fighting for their ideas. Their ideas are harmful to human beings, not to conservatives, not to people of faith, to human beings in general. And so you're right that they believe in these ideas. But I just have to say, speaking to you as a Jew, you know, Hitler believed in his ideas. So because somebody believes in their ideas, they get, oh, well, they've got their ideas. We have our ideas. I agree with you 100 percent. I know. No, of course, I know you do. And you're being gracious. So go ahead. But but the but but that's right. I mean, one way of looking at their ideas is they have a negative view of America just taking that one slice of it. And we have a positive, upbeat view of America. I mean, we we are documentary producers, and I think this is this left takeover of culture is both in drama, fiction and nonfiction and in the nonfiction realm. It's clear as a bell. The 1619 Project, which began in print, was now a multi -part Emmy nominated Netflix series. And and on like that is America based on racism and the defense of slavery, or is it based on the principles of the Enlightenment? Jefferson laid out in the Declaration of Independence and it matters for the country and the world which side you're on. So I agree with you. But their ideas are wrong. But given that they're wrong, they're right to fight for them. So we need to fight for ours. But but we have we have the model of what they have done and we need to just do it, too. It is not that hard. It's not that complicated. It was not a conspiracy on the part of the left. They announced they were going to do it. It's their right to do it. And they did it. I mean, I mean, even in America, communists, for example, have every right to promulgate their views, which I think is appropriate, given the First Amendment. It doesn't make their views right, but it does give them the right to promulgate them. And it's well, think of the irony, though, that the left is increasingly I mean, just to be fair, that it is because of biblical values, it is because of the values of the founders of this nation, that people on the left. On the wrong side, have the right, which we have given them to promulgate their views, it is why Nazis could march through Skokie, Illinois. It is right, so we believe in free speech. We believe in this kind of stuff. But the irony is that we're now living in a time where we're seeing the left having gained power, use it to squelch and censor voices with whom they disagree. So in other words, they were willing to ride the train of free speech as long as it helped them. And then now that they've gained the upper hand culturally and in other ways, they're suddenly deciding, you know what, free speech was nice. It was nice for a while. But now we don't want those conservatives to have a voice. So there's an irony here, which ought to be mentioned. There is. They're now the enemies of free speech. And in part, it's because, as you say, it's no longer convenient. But in part, it's because of the radicalization of liberalism, the sort of left liberal part of the Democratic Party. I mean, it used to be since the 60s, the new left has been an enemy of free speech. Herbert Mercuza and company never believed in free speech. But that was a minority view on the left. And now, as you say, it's increasingly popular under other rubrics like stopping disinformation and misinformation. And it is. Do they get that from Stalin? I'm always trying to trace these ideas back. I believe it was the Moscow School of Stalin. In any event, I think, you know, legally, you know, Karl Marx did not believe in human rights and individual rights. And he his whole worldview is opposed to that. If you believe in historical determinism and you know which way the world is going, why encourage freedom of speech? So both left and right, Hegelianism, Marx being left Hegelianism, was not really in favor of these kinds of freedoms, these Enlightenment freedoms. And in a sense, they were a reaction against it. I'm not an expert on this, though. Eric, you're going to get into topics too deep for me pretty soon. Well, obviously, we're not here really to talk about this exactly, but it's worth touching on. Well, look, the good news, the headline to me is that you and Thomas, whom we will let get a word in edgewise momentarily, are creating award winning, fabulous documentary films and trying to encourage others to do the same. It's it really is a wonderful thing, as you and I have discussed. I'm getting involved in that a number of media projects and yours have been done with such extraordinary excellence that, you know, even those on the left have had begrudgingly to honor you when we come back. I want to get into everything and I want to ask you, Thomas, about this kind of conservative incubator film project that that you're putting together. Folks, it's the Eric Metaxas show, ericmetaxas .com. Don't go away. Folks, have I told you about Moink? M -O -I -N -K. That's moo plus oink. I get all our meat and our salmon from them.

The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Leading Edge Defi Leverage Trading! (Apex Review)
"DeFi leverage trading is the hottest thing in crypto right now, and Apex is the top tier platform to use. I'm going to tell you why. It's time to discover crypto. Apex Pro, which is currently ranked fourth in 24 -hour trading volume on CoinGecko's list of DEXs, is a multi -chain, permissionless, non -custodial, decentralized derivatives exchange, also known as a DEX. That's a lot of words, so let's break it down. Multi -chain means that Apex supports multiple blockchains, and so far, you can trade using ETH, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, C -Chain or Optimism. And permissionless basically means this platform is open to anyone. No one is going to come along saying you can't trade due to where you're located or force you to complete KYC, otherwise known as that thing we all love to hate. Know your customer. It's not chicken. Giving all our personal information over to giant companies makes a lot of us feel less secure. Plus, one of the biggest benefits of crypto is privacy, so I'm always a fan of platforms that don't require KYC. If you feel the same, make sure to slam that like button and subscribe if you haven't already. You can also click the link in the description to sign up for Apex. The other great thing about Apex is that because it's non -custodial, you are in charge of your crypto. We've seen with so many exchanges plummeting during the bear market that the old adage, not your keys, not your crypto, really stands true. And finally, Apex is decentralized, meaning it isn't owned by one particular company or individual. Apex is backed by a plethora of distinguished global investors from Dragonfly Capital to Kronos to Cyber, so a lot of people in the know are excited about this exchange. Apex uses Starkware's ETH Mainnet Layer 2 scalability engine StarkX. And because most of the transactions take place on -chain, the fees on this platform tend to be much lower. It offers instant settlement, and the speeds are top notch, supporting 10 trades per second. Apex is a derivatives exchange, so let's go into what that means briefly. Derivatives are contracts between a trader and an exchange where the trader speculates on price movement without actually having to own the crypto. This is where you hear terms like short and long. A short means you expect the price of the asset to go down, and a long means the opposite. You think it will go up. And what makes this kind of trading extra attractive to traders is the possibility to trade with leverage, aka borrowing funds from the exchange so you hopefully make a bigger profit. So, say you have $100 to trade and decide to use 5X leverage. This means you would borrow $400 from the exchange and trade with 500 bucks. Your gains would be five times more than they would have been without the leverage, but any potential losses will also be five times greater. Apex offers up to 30X leverage on Bitcoin and ETH and 15X on all other assets, but I highly recommend using much lower leverage, especially if you're new. You need to be careful when doing this kind of trading because it is really easy to get liquidated if you don't know what you're doing, so have a stop loss. Remember, don't invest more than you're willing to lose. Okay, so let's get started. First, make sure you go to the correct website. You can click on our affiliate link below, so be extra cautious. Then you'll see the Bitcoin chart. At the top, you'll see the dashboard that gives you an overview, your profile, any orders, transfers, fundings, and even a community section where you can follow Apex on socials. You can also check out the leaderboard where Apex has the top traders listed, as well as ones you follow. And again, the link's in the description. Make sure to check out the Apex rewards section when you can earn for trading. And there's also a referral section where you can earn for inviting new people. And the best part is your friends will get a special offer too, which is another reason why you should click on our affiliate link in the description. You can also earn by holding Apex's native tokens, Apex and BANA. Apex grants governance rights and protocol incentivization, and right now you can earn over 15 % APY from staking it. BANA, on the other hand, is a trade to earn reward token that gives you exclusive perks. All right, now back to the charts. All right, so right here, you can see the pairs you can select. You can also take a look at the depth, funding rate, details, and risk limit. Then down below, you got positions, closed order P &L, profit and loss, active orders, conditional orders, which are waiting for the conditions to be right for the trade to close, filled orders, and the total order history. Currently, it's blank because we haven't connected our wallets yet. So head on over past the order book where you can see the current longs and shorts, as well as the oracle price of the asset, which is pulled from a bunch of external nodes. Then you can choose the blockchain you want to use and press connect your wallet. Click next, click connect, agree with the terms and conditions, then send the request to verify ownership and enable trading. Finally, you press sign and you're all done. If you don't want to connect a self -custodial wallet for some reason, you can also connect your Bybit wallet to Apex, but we aren't going to go through that in this video. Throughout the connection process, Apex may prompt you to make a username and provide your email, but you don't have to. Remember, privacy is one of their top priorities, but if you want notifications about your trades, go ahead. Then you'll see where you can place an order. You'll need to deposit funds, and for your information, you can only trade with USDC, so make sure you have some of that in your wallet. Now, Apex will allow you to open a limit, market, or conditional markets trade. A limit order basically waits for the price to come to you, and a conditional order means your trade executes when certain conditions are met. So if you think Bitcoin will plummet if it hits a certain price, you can place a conditional short. However, most people place market orders, which mean the trade will immediately execute at the current market price. That's what I use. I highly recommend taking profit and setting up a stop loss, so if you start losing money, you can stop the bleeding, and you can close your trade with either a limit or market close. Well, that's all I got for you today. Are you a fan of leverage trading? Have you tried Apex for yourself? Let us know in the comment section below. That's all from Deezy. Thanks for watching Discover Crypto. Hit that like button on your way out, and we'll see you at the top.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Why so much Religion?
"Dear congregation, the title of the sermon this morning is Why So Much Religion. And if there's one thing that is simply a fact of our life and existence in this world, is that there is so much religion in this world. The anthropologists who study these things tell us that there is hardly a civilization in the world that does not have some kind of religion, some kind of belief in something bigger out there, be it something sinister and evil, or be it something good, something that needs to be appeased. Almost every religious group has some kind of ritual practice, some kind of prayer, some kind of sacrifice, all sorts of things, religious objects and things like that, no matter how primitive the tribe may be, there is always a religion, there's always a religious aspect to it. I'm told that the world at this point is about roughly 30 % Christian, 24 % Islam, 15 % Hindu, and 7 % Buddhist, and all the rest are divided up between all the other more minor religions. I'm told that there are over 100 churches in Kalamazoo alone. Think about yourself this morning, how much time we spend in religious exercises, how much time we spend in church, morning and evening, and sometimes during the week, how much time spent in prayer, and all the parents here, how much money spent on Christian education, right? These are things that we're very familiar with. Again, I'm told that 49%, so almost half of the United States citizens, attend church at least once a month. 61 % of the same pray at least once a week. So even though we might be hearing things, right, of the rise of irreligion, still there's a great deal of religion in even our own country, which makes such a claim to be such an enlightened civilization. So this universality of religion everywhere is something to be explained. That's the question that we have over the title of our sermon, why so much religion? How do we explain the rise of this religion? Now, as Christian people, we believe that religion is a result of revelation, that there is a God in heaven, and we've already considered this in the past, right? That God has a written revelation that he gives to his people, right? But that there is also a general revelation which God makes which is accessible to every single person. But how would the naturalist, how does a secular person who does not believe in God, how do they explain the universality of religion? Again, if you take their worldview, right, and that humans are more highly developed animals, right now, there's no religion amongst animals. Although my brother used to tell me that when the chickens would drink their water and they would fill their beak with water, but then they would lift their beaks up, he always told me they were praying and giving thanks to God for the water they were drinking until I found out that really they're letting the water go down their throat. But there is no religion amongst animals, is there? There is no religion amongst animals. So you have a completely irreligious, again, I'm thinking like a secular person now, right, a completely irreligious group, these animals, right? And if we evolved out of those animals, then at what point along that evolution did religion begin and why did it begin? I'll provide one explanation that's given. But again, you can see how this is something to be explained, isn't it? Why is it? And it's not even just the presence of religion. The presence of religion I think you could probably explain on secular principles. But it's the universality of it. Why does every single civilization have some kind of religious aspect to their life and society? That's the difficulty to be explained. Well, as I opened this passage this week, I saw that Paul gives us a biblical, or the Holy Spirit's explanation of the universality of religion. So that's what I'd like to consider with you this morning is to take up this question of why so much religion in the world? And we find that in Paul's sermon to the Athenians. But let's back up now and take a look then at the second mission journey because we already had the first. The first, remember, well, do you remember those four cities? Those four cities that Paul ministered to where he planted churches in A, I, L, and D? Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe? But now we have Paul's second mission journey. It began in chapter 16, as we saw, and now it continues in chapter 17. Remember the last sermon that we did on Acts? It was two weeks ago that Paul, this time, did not sail to Cyprus. And again, you have that map there on the outline. He did not sail to Cyprus as he did on his first mission journey, but instead he went north from Antioch to Tarsus, and then he revisited those four cities in reverse order now, right, because he's coming from a different direction, Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. And then at Antioch, he sought to go south, but remember the Lord closed the door.

Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Dr. Robert Lustig: "Sugar Is Not a Food"
"Say food drives both illness and wellness is the poison and the antidote so what's happened to our food what what's taken it from my great grandparents had a farm they had chickens garden they ate real food and so in the last what 120 years throughout history we've changed it messed with it it's not food anymore. Exactly so the question is what's the definition of food answer go to the dictionary here's the answer substrate that contributes either to growth or burning of an organism that's a great definition it's a fine definition I am 110 % behind that definition okay growth or burning exactly right okay so let's take burning first turns out fructose actually inhibits burning now people say fructose is four calories per gram yeah that's if you blow it up in a bomb calorimeter if you add it to a mitochondria and it actually inhibits burning and that's how we burn so you actually reduce the amount of burning because you inhibit mitochondrial function and fructose does it three ways it inhibits three separate enzymes involved in how mitochondria burn energy I won't bore your audience with the details right now that's a little too much science a little bit too much inside baseball but you know we have the data and it's the same thing that happens to alcohol it's in fact it's the same reason that aspirin causes rise syndrome and we don't give aspirin to children anymore because you know we don't want them to basically die a fatty liver disease so the bottom line is sugar it actually inhibits burning okay now let's take growth my colleague at Hebrew University Jerusalem Dr. Efrat Monsonigo or none has shown in several papers now that ultra processed food and in particular sugar actually inhibit growth inhibits skeletal growth it inhibits trabecular cortical bone growth inhibits long bone growth and it actually hijacks growth because it actually feeds cancer cells so if a energy substrate does not contribute to growth and does not contribute to burning is it a food well alcohol is an energy substrate 7 calories per gram it does not contribute to growth and it does not contribute to burning is it a food no transplants are 9 calories per gram they inhibit mitochondrial function they inhibit growth are they a food no so just because something's an energy source doesn't make it a food right sugar is not a food it is a food additive when you think of it that way then it turns the whole table on exactly what it is we're eating because ultra processed food is high sugar food and the reason is because the sugars been put in for palatability it's been put in to make you eat it because if you taste it that ultra processed food without the sugar that's been added to it and sugars added to 74 % of the items in the American grocery store on purpose you know for the food industry's purpose is not for yours you would never eat that it would taste like garbage so yeah bottom line sugar is not food

Bitcoin Audible
A highlight from Read_767 - Pay Me in Bitcoin theory.
"If the merchant wants the Bitcoin and you pay in fiat, that is you shifting the burden of fiat friction onto them. And paying your valued vendors in Bitcoin is the opposite of mutually assured destruction. It's mutually assured survival. The best in Bitcoin made audible. I am Guy Swan and this is Bitcoin Audible. What is up guys, welcome back to Bitcoin Audible. I am Guy Swan, the guy who has read more about Bitcoin than anybody else you know. We have got a wonderful read. We have Parker Lewis back on the saddle doing some writing and I know his book and lots of really really cool things are happening with the Gradually Then Suddenly series, which I absolutely love. And anybody who knows all of the audio is available on this podcast. I will be linking to the first piece, I think there's like 15 of them or something, I'll be linking to the first piece in the show notes and maybe maybe I should take this opportunity to kind of put them all together somewhere. I'll see if Parker is linking to the audio on the actual articles because I also have the link to the Gradually Then Suddenly website where you can find all the written versions. Actually you know what I'll do in the meantime, just in case, I will make a Spotify playlist. That is a really easy way to get the link. So that's probably what you should see in the show notes instead, a Spotify playlist with a link to the Gradually Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis. But anyway, we've got a different one today and it's based off, or it's the same theory or the same theme I guess as the Bitblock Boom speech that he gave, the presentation that he gave. And it's a really interesting way to think about merchant adoption in Bitcoin and how we're moving from the store of value to the medium of exchange phase and why there's not actually a chicken and egg problem here, that there's fundamentally an order of operations or order of events from the concept of how the merchant sees or understands the value of Bitcoin or how all of the individuals in Bitcoin see and understand its value before there is actual reason in widespread adoption for accepting it as a means of payment. So anyway, I won't head off the article too much. We will go ahead and get right into it. This episode is brought to you by Nodeless. Nodeless .io slash guy is my special link.

A highlight from How Reyna Noriegas Year of Responsibility Ushered In a Year of Rebirth
"Ladies, gentlemen, welcome to the colorful world of Skittles. Skittles brings you a jolt of five fruity flavors in every bite, giving you the chance to taste the rainbow like never before. Break free from the ordinary day -to -day with the help of Skittles chewy candy. Skittles is a must in my candy jar, movie snack, even my secret to an afternoon pick -me -up. And I don't even care who knows it. Add a splash of joy to your day with Skittles. There's nothing better than fruity fun that tickles your taste buds. Taste the rainbow. If you have seen Reyna Noriega's colorful and vibrant artwork grace the covers of Science It might be hard to believe that she almost forwent a career in the arts completely. We talk about what pulled her back, the year of responsibility that gave way to the year of rebirth, and her powerful message about ignoring the rush and the trends in the service of building something meant to last. Reyna, I am such a fan. Thank you so much for doing this. Thank you so much for having me, Alicia. All right. So you and I both have Cuban dads. Your mom is Bahamian. You grew up in Miami. How does the Caribbean then show up in your home? It's everywhere to the point where I'm spoiled and I didn't realize that not everyone lives like this. You know, from the meals to just the presence of just joy and music and how all of that is kind of like ingrained in how we interact, how we celebrate. It was such a vibrant upbringing. As an Afro -Caribbean Latina, I don't need to ask if you saw representations of yourself in the media because you and I grew up consuming the same media. We know how few and far between that was. And I think the damage that does is hard to quantify. What happens to a kid when you don't see yourself reflected back at you? Yeah, I sometimes mention like this cognitive dissonance that existed within me that I thought that my blackness came from my Bahamian mother when my abuelo is Afro -Cuban from Havana. You know, so like I'm seeing it. I'm seeing Celia Cruz and I'm seeing my family and it's not clicking. Well did you talk about race in your house? Not, I mean, I think there were definitely conversations, but not really with identity. I know that my abuela was very proud of her husband and that she had chosen to marry a black Cuban, probably against what was the norm at that time and what was accepted. And so that was vocalized, but they always joke with me. Like as a kid, I would say that I'm light black. Like that was my terminology. And so it's just like, you figure it out along the way. Reina, you go to FIU, you get a bachelor of arts in psychology, you minor in visual arts and English. What was the plan at that point? The plan was to figure it out and make my family proud. I discovered that I loved art and I was good at art in high school, but up until that point, I was just a scholar. So I was getting the highest test scores and the highest grades. When I made the decision to apply to colleges for visual arts, I was really happy about that. And I thought, you know, like, this is so fun. This is so great. And I chickened out during my orientation when they, yeah, FIU announced that they were doing a psychology pre -med track. And obviously it's every parent's dream to have a child that's a doctor. It wasn't forced on me, but it was definitely something that I was aware of. Like that would make my parents proud if I was a doctor. And I think the mind is really cool. I could do this. So I approached psychology for that reason, because it was like, if I ever decide that I want to do pre -med, I could do this. I don't want to cut people open. So this is a good way to still do both. And then I was like, you know, art, art is not a sure thing anyways, so I'll just keep it as a minor and I'll have it just in case. That's not how it panned out. It's only a few years after chickening out, taking the safer, more secure path that you really end up pulled back into the arts. What is it that happens in 2017 that you're able to commit yourself fully to a life in the arts? I think I saw throughout college that, you know, obviously as a psych major, I was supposed to do internships and all types of things to complement that. But every time an internship would come up for the arts, like that's what I was pulled towards. And so I did our Basel internships and things like that. And it just, I felt so free and I felt so much joy there and I felt so much possibility that it kept calling to me. And after I graduated in 2015, I got the opportunity to be a high school art teacher. And that was just supposed to be like a buffer period until I got my master's in behavioral psychology and figured out what direction I wanted to take. And all of that. And it just like, it really reinvigorated my love for the arts and the possibilities. And over time I experimented with different materials. When I became an art teacher, the courses were digital drawing base. And so that is where I learned illustration. I had not tried illustration before that, but I had to learn really quickly for my students and to appear like I knew what I was talking about. And so it was a great kind of like push. Like I didn't have time to say like, oh, I like this. I don't like this. I'm scared of this. It was like, you're teaching high school kids digital art and they expect you to know it. So you can go in there as a very young teacher and look like you don't know what you're talking about, or you can go in there confidently. Like, you know everything about it. And so it was pretty much like overnight. I had to teach myself Adobe Illustrator and some other like drawing apps that I could go through with my students. And yeah, it evolved from there.
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep377: Follow This Principle To Start A Show Even If Youre Busy - Rasean Hyligar
"If anybody's thinking of starting a podcast or just me personally, when I started it off, I understood the first one's going to suck. Check out episodes like the first episode, the second episode, you'll see massive difference between when I started to where I am now. And the only way you're going to get there and really find your own personal style is by repetition. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. Quick disclaimer, the audio quality in this episode, at least on my end, is subpar. It's below average. It's not what I normally produce, but it was really good content with Rashaan. And so I still wanted to produce it. I made a mistake. I made a mistake by not following through with my checklist, which actually, if you check on the previous episode right before this, it's all about checklists. And I gave you 10, 11, 12, 13 options, ideas that could be on your checklist. So I want you to definitely check that last episode out. I think you're going to get value. And I hope that you'll give me some grace, some forgiveness that I made a mistake even after 900 -ish episodes that I published that I still somehow forgot to use the correct microphone. When I was recording this episode with Rashaan. Let's dive in right now and please give me your grace for how the audio quality on my end sounds. A lot of good content. Here we go. What's up, podcaster? It's your host, Adam A. Adams. And today we are with Rashaan Heilinger. And we're going to be talking a little bit about his podcast, his podcast journey, where he is. And if you're listening and you've got a podcast or you're thinking about starting a podcast and you're working full time, now would be a really good time to check into the episode because Rashaan is actually, he's got his own business started while working full time as an engineer. And he launched his podcast. I mean, he's put out over a hundred episodes. Rashaan, when did you start it again? When did you launch the podcast? I started my podcast in November of 2020. So a little bit into the pandemic. Oh yeah, that's right. Just a few months after. What happened for you to make the decision? I've got a couple of like follow up questions with that. So just think through this. You probably had a full time job. You didn't start the podcast right away. So what I'm curious about and what the listener might be curious about is how long had you been thinking about starting a podcast? How long had you had your side hustle business, coaching and mentoring entrepreneur men? Could you give us that story? Like why six months in a pandemic? Why not before and why not right at the pandemic? So the idea for the podcast started back when I was in college, right? But the idea for podcasting came a little bit obviously before the actual podcast was launched. And the idea was that I wanted to provide impact and provide value to a lot of people. Since growing up, I had a lot of advice given to me from my parents, from mentors, from different kinds of instructors, whether it was in my martial arts journeys or anything of that nature. I had a lot of advice and a lot of good tactical tips that were given to me. And I said, you know what? This is fantastic information. And I want to give this back to a bunch of people who are ready to be held accountable for the choices that they make. They know that their life is fully their control. They need to take a grasp of life by the horns and really, really strive to actually do what they want to do in their life. Whatever that may look like for you. Let's say you want to make a ton of money. You want to get to a certain body fat percentage. You want to maybe be the best public speaker, whatever that goal is for you. My goal is to say, let me give some tactical tips to be able to start you on that journey to say, okay, you have this goal. Let's break it down to the more minutia. What do you have to do on the day to day to get you up to that? And so thinking about how I wanted to start the podcast, the idea for that came around the January, February ish timeframe, same year 2020. So before being shut down in March, okay. You said the idea came when you were in college, put a date on that. When do you think you got that idea? So the idea I would say came maybe right around my winter break of college. Since when I started the podcast, I was still in college. I've since graduated now, but it started around December 2019 ish. I would put right around there. And then January, February, you're graduating. I graduated in may of 2021. Okay. And when did you start your engineering job as a systems engineer? I started that in February last year, February, 2022. All right. So you launched a business and a podcast while graduating college. Right. And at the end of graduating college with an engineering degree. Yeah. A lot of homework. Where are you working to? Did you have like a job while going to school? I did. Yes. So we did a couple of jobs. I worked first as a lab technician. Well, I don't know how far back you want to go. Yeah. How about from December of 19? Like were you working at that time? December of 19? Yes. I was working as a laboratory technician. I was working contracted there and I was working in their microbiology portion of the facility. So I worked there for a couple of years. From there, I moved over to becoming an engineering lab technician at a different company where I worked there for about seven or eight months or so. And then after that, I saw an opening for a full -time position at that company. And then I said, you know what? Let's do it. And so I put in my resume, went through the whole application process, yada, yada, yada. And now here we are. I'm still in that position right now. Okay. And what came first? The chicken or the egg? Okay. What I mean is did your business start or did your podcast start? Like you had an idea that you wanted to help people. And so did you launch a business? And then later you're like, Oh, a podcast would be helpful to add, or did you have a podcast and you're like, Ooh, maybe I should do a business or how did that go? Actually the latter, because a lot of people actually start their business first and then see podcasts as the marketing channel for that. I'm actually like the minority. When I figured I was actually flipped it because my mentality the entire time was I just want to give back a bunch of value to people. And I just want to be able to give, give, give, give, give. And then eventually I started giving a lot of that. And then people started asking me for more advice, whether it be Instagram, whether it be on LinkedIn, whether it be in person. And they said, Hey, I have a question about this. I have a question about that. And I'll say, okay, cool. And we could do that. And then I figured, you know what? A lot of people are asking me for help. I can probably build some kind of a business around this. Right. So that's what I started saying. Let me go ahead, launch into start working on my coaching program. And so that's where we are now today. So started from podcast, migrated that now into the business. And now it's funny because now we're starting to do that switch back where now it's going to start becoming more focused on the business. And then the podcast will now start becoming more of like a marketing thing. However, not say that the podcast will change in terms of the value that's given or anything like that. Cause I believe in being fully transparent, keeping that as free as possible valuable tactical evidence on that every single episode, as we call it, the fluff free guarantee. So I promise to keep it a hundred percent there and keep it actionable. So every time people listen to an episode, they say, Oh, I can write down this, or I could take down this. I can implement that. So that's not going to change at all. However, it would still be some extra information for people to say, Hey, if you want more information, I do have a program. I have some questions that are stemming from people that have a decent amount of money where money is not a big stress. And then there are others where it's like, I really, really have to be careful here because I don't want to spend too much on this.
On The Rekord
A highlight from Episode 122 - Sept. 17th, 2023 - B.A.N.S
"All right, all right, all right, all right. Welcoming you guys to another lovely episode of On The Record Podcast. I am DJ Intense, your host the most. And to the left of me, I have I am Walt. What's up, Walt? I'm about to say another word, my guy. If you guys heard earlier, you know, we were just doing some things off cameras. They're off the record. Things we don't, we're not going to bring on the record. And if we are, you're not going to get it. Unless you paid for it to Patreon. You know? Yeah, me too. That voice you hear right now, but there's no other than Ceddi said, what's up Ceddi? The infamous C -E -D. What's up people? How you doing people? I'm doing all right, I'm doing all right, man. You know, we took some time off. It was Labor Day weekend. Yeah. And then the final weekend, which is work weekend. Dude, we were work, work, work, work, work. Nonstop. Dude, I just figured they don't. Almost 90 hours of work. OT, OT. Man. One day was 20 hours of work. That's the state job. I can't wait till you quit that job. You and I both, brother. I need to make some money, but working like a slave ain't it, man? Nah. Bob Brock just said it. You think that you can get by with this hard work alone? Nah, you're fooling yourself. You're fooling yourself. Used to do that, but now you're doing that. It's a lie. It's a lie. It's a myth. All people is you do hard work, and you'll become a successor, that's all. Listen, reality is in this country, in America, you have to do a lot of grime. You gotta do a lot of collaboration. Depending on how you wanna do it, but most of the time, all those people who are billionaires and trillionaires are the ones who did the most foul -ish humanly possible to get what they're at right now in life. Listen, right now we're at over 180 days in the writer's strike and the actor's strike right now. And it could have ended this right now. This thing should have been handled already. $50 million for both unions. And now they're gonna get a loss of over $300 to $500 million because of this strike. And you have people like Drew Barrymore's punk ass. Well, she reneged on it though. She had to, because dude, she was getting the business with the WGA and the SGA. And it's separate, you know. Even... Bill Maher's bitch ass too, man, was... I didn't get the damn thing off the running. Was, oh, I don't need no writers, I'll be our show. Look, dude, your show sucks. The Seddie Swear Counter is in full effect. There you go, you have one. You can do like a ding sound from now on for my swears. I'm gonna keep it calm. I'm gonna keep it professional. Seddie the Sailor Man. I can't swish, come on. Listen, man, I'm just telling you, when Seddie get that spinach boy, man, we poppin' ice today. Oh, yeah. Little bird watch out. Now, but on some real issues, like dude, Bill Maher, the guy who said, I'm not a field n -word, I'm a house n -word, and who crapped on Stan Lee after he died and stuff, and says a bunch of other ridiculously retarded things, says he's gonna do a show. Stan Lee who? Marvel comic Stan Lee. Oh, Stan Lee, oh. That's what Bill Maher said. Yo, he be going extra heavy trying to relate to us blacks. You're a not house n -word. You're at the table, bro. You got the good chair. You got the good piece of chicken. He used to be down by the dam, but nowadays, man, it's horrible. He's just, you know, he's trying. What the legend Paul Mooney said, everybody wants to be black, so it's time to be black? Listen, you think Paul Mooney is trying to be black and competent? Hell no. I want to be in a gated community area. What's wrong with you? Like he says, everybody wants to be black. He listen to King Koon, so he know what that's about. Yeah, but Bill Maher is doing his show still, which I think it was crap with writers. It's going to be crap about writers. And then, you know, you're going to have to hire writers who are not non -union writers. We're going to be scabs. We're going to pretty much destroy their any chance of them getting actual work when the strike is done. If you get caught. Well, if you are what you say you are, then have no fear. Even if you're on YouTube and you want to get a chance of being in the industry, you can't do no reviews. No, no movie reviews, no TV show reviews, nothing. There's a strike. You doing that? You will be known and accounted for when you want to get your membership. And trust me, you don't want those problems. But my thing is, if there was already YouTubers like successful already doing movie reviews and being credible and stuff like that, that won't affect them. Is it already locked in like a partnership or whatever with certain movies? Then they could do it. As long as they get the permission from their respective union. OK. If they do something brand new, if we're coming out with The Exorcist coming out next week, they can't do no review for that at all. Oh, wow. Wah wah. Listen, I can't go into it because I want to become in that union because I want to be a voice actor. You want to sell out. I get it. So I can't speak on it at all. No, no, no. He's not selling out. No, he wants to. He wants to. No, he doesn't want to sell out. You want the Disney money. No, I want to buy in. He wants to buy in. Oh, yes. You want to buy in, you got to sell out, right? No, the license is fucking me, bro. I'm just saying. The license, the thing to get a SAG card, it's over $3 ,000 to get a SAG card. And you have to get that SAG card in order to get some work and residuals and all that stuff. That's just what it is. Listen, man, listen, Harvey Weinstein's in prison, bro. He can't get to you, my guy. He can't get to you, my guy. Listen, man, don't take that hotel meeting, bro. Am I Rose McGowan? Shoot it. It's either a Zoom call. I'm actually Judd. It's either a Zoom call or a posh Beverly Hills restaurant or a Permell Studios, wherever that super creep was out here making his rounds. But you don't got to worry about that no more. Filthy behavior. One of the girls was saying like, yeah, when I said no more hanky panky, you know. He felt a way. Yeah, you want that rolling letter to there, don't you? My guy, how could he feel a way? You've been imposing your will on these ladies for a long time. Speaking of entertainment, you had a concert this weekend, right? Yeah, yeah. I was, you know, I was like. This guy was really outside. I was like, I was like, I was like. What concert was this? I was like. Let me tell you. Go ahead, say it. I was like from the acting sheriff up north, back to back out here, you know. Yes, so for all the first time, longtime listeners, and you know, last time listening to how evidence goes, I had a couple of shows. This past Thursday, I went to an event that was sponsored by Spotify for up and coming artists. I saw three, three very, very talented artists. The main artist I went to see goes by Kamari. He's an artist that I discovered around COVID. He has a lot of like influences. He reminds me of like a Frank Ocean. He's really that, you know, artist type dude. And he put out this great, incredible album called A Brief Nirvana, which I advise everybody to check out. His name is Kamari, K -H -A -M -A -R -I. Highly recommend him. And I also saw these two other artists from the UK, St. Harrison and Elmin. That's my boy. And overall, it was a great experience, very, you know. It was at SOB, Sound of Brazil in New York City. Very intimate setting, great turnout, great energy.
Animal Radio
A highlight from 1241. What Does It Mean When Your Favorite Drinking Buddy Is The Cat?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. I'm going to go ahead and set the scene right now. Dr. Debbie is chowing down or drinking a drink I guess it's kombucha is that what you call that? Kombucha, yeah! It's a fabulous fermented drink that's got a little bit of vinegar it. to Any alcohol in it? Technically there's a warning on there yeah so but it's not like you drink it to get you know lit it's just it's just a natural process of the fermentation releases alcohols. Can I just say it looks absolutely disgusting. It is there's a sludge at the bottom and so you have to stir it but that's where the good stuff's at. You want that. Are there any redeeming factors of kombucha for animals? Can animals drink kombucha? You know because of the alcohol in there I've never heard of it actually being safe for for dogs but you know if we could develop one for dogs that would be appropriate. I guess the first thing would be would they like it because most kombuchas are kind of citrusy flavored or they have like you know different kind of additives to them that may not be appealing on the canine palette so we might have to find ways to make that a doggy attractant. I don't know. So there's no beef or chicken kombucha? Heck no. I wouldn't drink that. Is it good? Do you drink it because it's good for you? Yeah it's got a lot of live bacterial cultures that are good for your digestive tract. So it's actually in my opinion is better than yogurt because you can't get this amount of active cultures from just eating yogurt without the calories. This is awesome stuff. It's like 50 to 60 calories for a bottle. What about probiotics for pets because there's lots of those out there. That's true yeah and I think that there's a lot of probiotics out there. We just don't really know what cultures are necessarily the best cultures for dogs or cats or people even. I think they're still really looking at that and saying plus there's the problem of getting the probiotic in through the digestive tract and not have it digested. So there's got to be this kind of gets past the stomach and can actually do its work in the digestive tract so not all probiotics are the same. So where do you get this? Do you make it or do you buy it? Some people make it and I just buy it at the health food store, the grocery store. You could buy it everywhere now but it's definitely good for the gut and you know part of your immune system. So it's good for everything. I'm thinking about six years ago when you first came on to animal radio you used to come in with a diet Pepsi one. Yeah I've kind of evolved I'd say. Things have changed. You know who we're going to have on the show today is a lady who makes cocktails for animals for dogs and cats. Okay. I know this it sounds a little strange to me. Alcoholic? Well it's a pet winery and I don't think there's any alcohol involved. No there's no alcohol in it. I have a Fetch Me Noir and it looks like a bottle of wine. It really does. I have a Meow Sling and that Meow Sling looks like one of those little shots that you'd get on the airplane. And I also have a purgandy, a Fetch Me Grigio, a dog teeny, a cat teeny. A dog teeny and a cat teeny. Yeah about everything. I don't understand. So you can include your pets if you're having a party and do it in a safe way. Exactly. So for the holidays you're coming up you can pour a little martini gliese with a little bit of the puppy liquor in there and it'd be a safe alternative. They even have a bark brew if you know if your dog likes prefers beer instead. This is Barktober right? There you go. We're going to talk to this lady who's invented this stuff is that correct? She's coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. What are you working on over there in the newsroom Lori? Got a very interesting story. How you you could think you have food poisoning but it's really your puppy that's making you sick. Okay it's your turn to reach out to Dr. Debbie right now in this portion of Animal Radio brought to you by Fear Free Happy Homes. Helping your pets live their happiest, healthiest, fullest lives at home, at the vet, everywhere in between. Visit them at fearfreehappyhomes .com and thanks Fear Free for underwriting Animal Radio. Hey Ted how you doing? Hey fine how are you? Good where are you calling from today? I'm calling from Los Angeles. The LA area listening on coast. How can we help you? The whole team is here for you. Oh thank you so much. I've got the problem with my dog. I've got a pit bull that was left me uh that was somebody my dog was going to sell and she hasn't sold and I've had the dog for years now and I can't get him to stop digging the backyard up. Everything is a nightmare. Okay.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from This Asset Is Outpacing Bitcoin As Inflation Hedge!
"And probably flat next time, but it's close to a coin toss. They could raise it in November. CPI is up. Consumer Price Index. What does this mean? It basically means how you feel when you're opening your wallet at the end of the week, and then, you know, the pain that you felt. Well, CPI inflation jumped 3 .7 % in August, more than expected. The main reason, higher oil prices were behind the big rise in headline inflation last month. CPI rose 0 .6 in line with economists' expectations for 0 .6 and up from 0 .2 back in July. In a year -over -year basis, it rose 3 .7 % versus forecast for 3 .6%. So you got to be careful sometimes. You'll see people say, oh, you know, it's only 0 .6, it's only 0 .2, yeah, compared to last month. But when you're looking at a nation's inflation, you don't want it to even go up 0 .5 % month -over -month. You kind of want it to be flat month -over -month because the target is 2 % for the year. You divide that by 12, you're going to have everyone coming in at like, what, 1 .888, I think, like that. So 0 .1, 0 .2, we can handle that. Once you start tripling that, quadrupling that, that's when you're going to start to feel a little bit of pain. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy, rose 0 .3. And on a year -over -year basis, core CPI, which is stripping out the food and energy, rose 4 .7%. So almost a whopping 5 % year -over -year there. Surging oil prices were a major factor in the rise of headline inflation. The Fed, though, will likely take comfort in the continuing decline in the core inflation rate, which fell to its weakest pace since mid -2021. The Fed's September policy meeting takes place next week, and the central bank is widely expected to leave it unchanged. Focus will soon turn to the next meeting at the start of November. Markets are currently pricing in a 40 % chance they will rate height then. So according to the CME FedWatch tool, and the prediction markets have been pretty accurate. So it looks like it's going to be flat next time and probably flat next time, but it's close to a coin toss. They could raise it in November, but we're going to be pretty close to the holidays. I don't know if, you know, it's not popular to do something like that right before everyone has to go Thanksgiving shopping or Christmas shopping. And I'm going to be real interested to see what Black Friday is going to look like this year. Do you guys have any Black Friday predictions? Is it going to be, I mean, we're still shrinking it just because of web activity? I always, you know, I'm probably going to buy a TV. That's my Black Friday prediction. Okay, okay. Drew, you're going to buy any like chicken coop wiring? Oh my God. You know, I've been liking buying chainsaws. So I might go get a chainsaw. Oh, man. Plural. You know, chainsaws. All right, chat. How many chainsaws does one home need, one family need, one man need? You got a chainsaw on a pole that I can stand on a ladder on a ladder and then using the pole with the chainsaw at the end of the pole and really reach new heights. So, you know, there's a chainsaw for everyone. All right, all right. Gas is surging. They're feeling the inflation at the gas tank for sure. Yeah, we've seen gas is moving on up. Some people are saying people's faces will melt because of Avax. Avax Avalanche. Because they're sad they lost so much? Is that why? The tears melted the makeup. Ten chainsaws. Ten chainsaws is the number. Kevin has three. Kevin has three. I got a chainsaw. Piccolo Rick says, Piccolo Rick has three chainsaws. Do you guys like really like Limp Bizkit? Like what's, you know, old Eminem videos? What's going on here? I love that album unironically as a 14 -year -old. What is the CPI? Here we have a little bit of a breakdown of the CPI. CPI is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. They tweak it. They massage it, you know, to kind of make them look a little bit better. Here we have the 12 -month percentage change for the major categories. All items. So we have all items, 3 .7 to the upside. Then food, 4 .3%. Energy, actually down here. And then we have major categories, all items, less food and energy. That's the core, 4 .3%. So this is the year -over -year change. So Brent crude probably down there. Alright, let's see. What else do we have here on the US CPI? We have this US CPI pegged token, and it is outperforming Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. But the important thing is to look at, you know, what is the timeframe that it's outperforming here. In this context, this is created, the token created by Fracks Finance and supposedly pegged to the US CPI seems to be outperforming Bitcoin by close to 40 % since its deployment. But the deployment was from September 22 to press time. So from September of last year. And you can see here that was pretty close to, oh, wait, no, that's the CPI. That is not a Bitcoin. If we go to here, we go to Bitcoin chart, we go to September of last year, go to CoinGecko, go to the top coins, click on the flagship crypto. We can't do one year, but we kind of can. Yeah, Bitcoin is actually up. So outperforming in a major way. So doing a pretty good job there. September, I think we're a little bit high. Yeah, September. So up Bitcoin roughly 25 % and is outperformed it by 40%. So the CPI token, but me, I would stay away from something like that. Like just trading gold on the blockchain. I'd probably rather just buy gold from, you know, a pawn shop or something. I don't know, it depends on the tax. Depends on what kind of tax they're giving you. Someone did their community service in a forest to axes only. Ooh, yeah. Whoa. That's a lot. That's what we're kind of feeling. Mario has three, big one, small one and a long one. They're very practical tools. What do you guys like watching a lot of Dexter or someone? I mean, how much trees are going to cut things down and break things apart? It's chainsaws are amazing. Well, I just hired tree removers because I'm scared of heights and there's just no way my age broken limp wrist, you know, that just seems I would be up there shaking like a Chihuahua dripping pee.
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from Real Estate Agents Money Making New Construction Plan (Part 2)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money, and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. Welcome back. We are on to day two and we're picking up where we left off yesterday and we're talking about how to make money with new construction. If you didn't listen to yesterday's points, make sure you go back and listen and I know a lot of you will find, by the way, the show we did prior to yesterday is the day before will also be, I think, a very big eye opener for many of you with regards to the different types of mortgage financing that's out there. But without any further delay, Julie, let's just roll right back in and let's talk about the easiest, the most advanced ways that agents can work in new construction. That's right. So we're going to start with something a hundred percent of you can do to get your feet wet with new construction and then we'll end with the most advanced iteration of making money with new builds. So point number one, work in a new construction model home during the hours the builder doesn't build with that builder or don't build it at all. They might buy new construction, for example. Think listing leads, new construction buyer leads, et cetera. And in fact, I think you know this, we have several of our coaching clients who have worked out deals with even some of the bigger builders. I know one of our coaching clients in Texas has a deal worked out with KB Homes, which by all means is kind of a production builder. They've got tons of different neighborhoods. Well, when one of them is about to be done and the next one is just starting, they don't go around. Coverage being that there's not enough new build reps to go around to all the model homes that they have available. That's right. Or maybe the hours that they work doesn't work all the time. Maybe there's just one day a week that you can do this. Anyway, our coaching client worked out a deal where she makes a certain percent if she sells one of their new builds. So she's basically acting like a sub for the new build reps when the new build reps can't or for whatever reason don't want to be at that particular new build model. Now, it's important though to explain this why the new build reps want to do this. Because they're going to get paid regardless of who brings the buyer, so they don't care. And new build reps, especially using Julie's example KB, they're not going to be listing resells. They're only selling the product that that builder has for sale in that particular subdivision. Most of the new build reps aren't even allowed to sell across subdivisions. If there's five KB Homes developments and I'm thinking of Keith Moulton and his great new EXP group and Inkeny, Iowa and all that whole big area of Iowa where they are, they're all those large new build constructor guys. They list the mid -tier ones and they list them within their EXP group, but the upper tier ones, the really large national ones, it's exactly like what Julie and I are describing. So what Julie is saying with point number one is, again, get off your duffs, get away from your keyboard and go out and befriend the new build reps and then offer to basically be their sub working in the models. They are going to say yes, provided they respect you and they know that you'll represent them well. They might have to ask for permission, but in a lot of cases they won't. And you will, guess what, sell new construction, but you're also going to pick off some resale leads. In other words, someone's going to walk in, they're going to want to build with that builder and they're going to have a house to sell, you're going to get that lead. And why is it that the new build reps aren't licensed? It's very obvious. The new builder pays them a salary, pays them a commission, doesn't want their loyalties divided, but also doesn't want that new build rep to then start, well, this model is not good for you at XYZ homes, I'm going to take you across the street and sell you one from ABC homes. They want that particular staff member only selling that particular product. That's where you can come in. Point number two. Well, that's right. And let me just point out why this is number one. Remember, we're going from easiest to most advanced. Notice that here you are not asking for a listing agreement. You are not, I mean, you can write the buyer side, which they're already prepared to pay. All you really have to do is learn a little bit about their product and how a builder contract works, which is generally more simple than your normal contract. Actually even simpler than that, Julie, because what you just said is going to intimidate about 90 % of them if you think about what you just said, right? Even simpler. Just be the meter and greeter and the police fill out your information or, you know, that's it. And then turn over the lead. Don't even do anything other than meet them and greet them because guess what? You met that buyer when they walked into that model, you're going to get the commission. Let them walk through the model. Let them walk through several models, maybe some specs. As long as they've registered, if those people decide to build with that particular builder, you will get paid whatever the co -op commission is. So open your eyes to how easy this can be for all of you. That's something a very low skilled new agent can easily pull off. I think of new construction model homes as kind of like the best buyer mousetrap ever. If buyers are searching, and we know for a fact with lower inventory, buyers are going to these new builds on their own, they're finding the inventory, you might as well be the one between them and the house, right? I mean, we're going to belabor this point too long, but this is something else. It's very rare that you see a new builder up that has an assistant. So if somebody walks in, and they want to see a spec that's maybe 10 minutes away in the subdivision, that means they lock the door to that model home, which means any subsequent buyers that pull up, which may have been equally as motivated, are going to get, you know, they're going to leave and they're going to go next door, they're going to maybe even leave the whole area. You guys get the point. So what the new build rep wants to do is sell more new construction. What you can do is cover them when they're not there. Maybe just act as their assistant on the weekends, and you will pick up sales that way. We've had lots of coaching clients do this over the years. I will say a funny story, I remember this. We had a coaching client that would go to this new build model area where it was a, I think it was a gal actually, and she knew this builder rep only worked on Saturdays. She knew that, guess what, most of the buyers were coming out on Sundays, and they never were there Monday through Friday. So what did she do? She went out and made camp, basically. Go where the buyers are. And then she just waited for the buyers to pull up, and then she was selling the new build rep's models, and she was obviously pulling off other business from that. I mean, talk about a great, a very ambitious, very proactive lead generator. Which, by the way, didn't cost you a referral fee, or a impression fee, or any other kind of paying for your leads fee. And you didn't have to make a TikTok video to get the sale. Not even that. Okay. Imagine if you will. All right, point number two, how do you make money with new construction? Create a relationship with those new build reps, and or the sales managers at different projects, where they refer the resale listings to you. Now, if they are licensed, and remember, they aren't always. It's very, very rare, only if they're really, really small builders, that you'll find a new build rep that is licensed. But we just belabored this point exhaustively, I think. We rolled that into point number one. Anyway, if they happen to be licensed, you can pay them a referral fee. If not, you can do gift cards and other things. But the flip side to it is, is a lot of times, and you and I did this when we sold real estate, we've coached our other agents to do this as well. Let's say you do go to one of those small or mid -level builders, and there's, it's frankly, usually the person that's the build rep is the wife or the husband of the actual builder, And so what you can do, as opposed to having any sort of financial exchange, what they're going to want to do is they're going to want to thank you for selling that particular house by giving you the listing on their next spec. And that's something you can do mostly in the really high end. So if you approach a builder that's specing on a really high end build, and they're still out there, plenty of them, and you're going to say, well, I have a potential buyer or buyers for this property. In the past, when I've worked with other high end builders, the arrangement we've had is I help them sell this particular house to one of my buyers. And then when they build another spec that they'll list that house with me. So then obviously I can help them sell that property as well. And you'll be surprised how that domino of buyer to listing, buyer to listing, buyer to listing, that can last you your entire real estate career. Yeah. It's a beautiful relationship and you can have more than one with more than, you know, different builders. Right? So that kind of leads us into that third point, list the spec homes. Now we've been throwing around that term. What is a spec home? A spec home spec stands for speculation and they come in two flavors. One is the builder is building a home that does not have a contract on it yet speculating that they will. That's why it's called a spec home. And the other way spec home happens is if somebody was in contract to build with that builder, but for some reason, either they backed out, they lost their financing, they lost their will to sell. Somehow the deal came apart and it becomes an inventory home. Sometimes they're called inventory homes instead of spec homes. We're going to share with you guys now, like normal price range stuffs in normal price range, let's say even nowadays, what the hell is normal pricing, right? A million or less. Generally speaking, it's very easy to get out of a new build contracts because the builder knows they've got a hundred buyers that one particular house, but the more expensive stuff when you starting into multimillion dollar spec homes, what happens a lot of times is the builder will ask for the buyer to, in essence, have 20 % hard money into the house. In other words, let's say the buyer is buying a $5 million house and the builder is going to ask for, and usually two deposits, a million dollars. And if the bill, if the buyer doesn't close that a million dollars stays with the builder, you see? So these are just different little things you're going to learn as you climb the ladder. We've had coaching clients, we coach agents to sell new construction, all different price ranges. So you need everywhere from, you know, big old ranches and land, raw land, trees, forests, all the way obviously to ultra luxury homes. So all these skills are applicable to all markets and all price ranges, which leads me to a friendly reminder. The notes for today's podcast are down in the section below. So if you scroll down under the video, if you're watching on YouTube or if you're over on iTunes or Stitcher or Spotify, just go down there and open up the show description.

That is going to be homework from this podcast and every podcast after that. Next point Julie. Point number four, list every listing the builder has representing them on the whole development or the whole building if it's a condo building for example. This may include both lots to sell to other builders and or the actual homes or condos being built. That's where you you have the relationship with the builder. So I'm thinking about people like Lance and Karen Kenmore out in Washington state who have been coaching clients for a long time. They have multiple builders, different developments where they represent the entire thing. So they have signs on lots. They can sell those to other builders. They have signs on lots that they're representing the builder. It's not built yet. They have half built homes. They have spec homes. They have everything. One of their builders is going to do a town home project next so they can do different products as well. So another little idea of spinning off Julie's point number four is if you for example have the opportunity to list a parcel of land, a big swath of land that might be great for a developer. There are people that do the developing. There are people that go and essentially have if necessary the zoning work done. They'll put in the sewers, the electric. They'll even subdivide all the lots and all the rest of it and then they sell those off to builders. A lot of times some of these land developers, all they'll do is identify the lands and they'll sell some of the land to somebody to develop the land all on up. So what you're going to discover is from a big old farm field to new construction and a big huge subdivision, there are different levels of businesses that are involved. Now how do you stay involved if you're the one that happens to cross the big old soybean field as was the case for Julie and I sold real estate. All right, so you find the big parcel. Let's call it, you know, 25, 50, 100 acres, whatever it is. You then will list the property and then you will then find the people in that particular market that do the development and then the developer, if the lots are then sold as a whole off to a new builder, which is usually how it actually works, try to stay attached to the transaction every single deal, every time the property changes hands. Make it so that you're part of the deal every step of the way. I'll give you an example. There's a friend of Julie and I's in Houston, his name is Vinod, he owns a place called Urban Living and in its day it was a massive brokerage and what he would do is he goes out and identifies, well he would find a parcel of land in Houston, the zoning laws and this is, you guys are going to think I'm making it up but it's true, in Houston you can actually have a commercial building right by a residential building and so it's not uncommon when you're driving around certain areas of Houston where you see like how the hell is there a church's chicken right next to a, for example, a literal home next to a condo building, next to a car wash.

I've heard of Amazon. Apple's got this event tomorrow, and I guess Qualcomm chips are now going to be in the phones. Now, are you going to line up for the iPhone? What is it, Apple 15? iPhone 15, yeah. If I can get a chicken sandwich also. For two hours? What's the line for the Apple iPhone? Do people still line up for them? I don't know. No one... I don't think so. I don't know if that's still a thing. I don't know. I was going to make a disparaging comment, but no. Hopefully not there. No disrespect to anyone who would stand out in line for a telephone. All right, let's get the closing bells here. Your numbers here on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Green crosses green with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 80 points, or about a quarter of a percent on the day. The S &P 500 higher by 30 points, or seven -tenths of a percent. The NASDAQ going to finish the day strong, up by about a percent. The S on the back of some pretty big gains by Tesla here on the day, and the Russell 2000 not to be left behind. It is the relative laggard, but still on the green by about two -tenths of a percent. Yeah, if we take a deeper look in the S &P 500, more than 300 stocks moving higher. 302 stocks advancing. Scarlet, 197 of them declining. So Tim, you were asking rhetorically, is it all just Tesla? And when you look at the sector performances, look at that line at the top. That's autos and components. It's got about five members. Three of them are down. Ford, Aptiv, and General Motors. And two of them are higher. Tesla, up by 10%. So that accounts for that group's 8 .3 % jump. Retail is also higher. That would be Amazon. And you can see that you've got, what, five groups gaining at least 1%. On the downside, Energy taking a bit of a breather off a 1 .4%. This is a best performing group over the past three months as oil prices have slowly made their way higher. All right, let's go through some of these gainers. Maybe this will be the last time I mention Tesla in the next few minutes, but I had to put it on the board today. Finishing the day up more than 10%.

Veteran on the Move
A highlight from The CoverBag with Murp McCarthy
"Marine veteran Murph McCarthy is the creator of the cover bag the best protection for your dress hat or dress uniform cover Coming up next on veteran on the move Welcome to veteran on the move if you're a veteran in transition an entrepreneur wannabe or someone still stuck in that J -o -b trying to escape this podcast is dedicated to your success And now your host Joe Crain As a member owned not -for -profit Navy Federal puts members at the heart of every single thing they do Find out more at Navy federal org All right today we're talking with Marine Corps veteran Murph McCarthy owner of the cover bag calm and The women's rugby coach at the Naval Academy, that's pretty cool So Murph welcome to the show before we get to talking about business and entrepreneurship As a marine fellow aviator having had one of those on this show for a long time. Tell us what you did in the Marine Corps yes, so I Actually, I enlisted right out of high school and things went really well I was a tower air traffic controller and I ended up at the prep school for the Naval Academy and then graduated from the Naval Academy in 2000 then TBS and then went to down to Pensacola and When so helos went out to the FRS out there in Camp Pendleton quickly fell in love with it learned how to fly frogs Then I went to East Coast and I did two deployments on the East Coast And when I came back from that second one, there was a bunch of ospreys on the tarmac you know, I wasn't sure I wanted to get into that so I solicited my services back out to Camp Pendleton and then I ended up with the Purple Did foxes a couple deployments with them and then along the road. I got I got the the drone stink on me Stick with VMU doing drones and when it came time for me to get out of the cockpit I actually my services were sought by people other than myself To go do that again. So I went To VMU three and did a couple deployments With those guys then I came back to the Naval Academy where I was working in the Stockdale Center for ethical leadership and I was teaching leadership and that's when I started coaching rugby at the Academy in 2011 and then I had one last gig down at DITRA defense threat reduction agency where I was doing I was working on the open skies treaty which is a fascinating gig if you can get it, and I don't think you can get it anymore, but and then I retired in 2017 and You know, that was my Marine Corps story from the end of high school 92 to 2017 interesting so You know, sometimes transition is different. You're retiring because at least you got that paycheck of the month club membership, but Sometimes retirement isn't any easier than you know being in being in the military for four years and then getting out also So what was your transition like? Well, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I grew up You know, I was still like volunteering coaching rugby and that I Didn't see myself ever getting out of that because that was just a really fun thing for me to do It filled a lot of the you know, what you miss about the Marine Corps stuff for me But I started looking into a couple different business opportunities. I Started a business before I retired probably almost ten years before I retired and that was the cover bag and what ended up being the cover bag calm and that just grew and grew and grew to where You know, I could definitely take up a lot of time just working that when I retired But I'm I knew that was I wanted one more thing at least And that's when I started looking into other business opportunities and I got into fitness I a started franchise in Annapolis and did that I looked at a Number of other franchise opportunities, but I knew fitness was probably going to be what I wanted to do, right? So Was there an entrepreneurial bug inside of you the whole time? You're in the Marine Corps to just come about at a later time Totally. Yeah, like I've been into that kind of thing when I was since I was a kid So I remember getting in trouble for selling fireworks in the bathroom at my junior high school You know, I came up with ideas for stuff to put on ball caps Slinging t -shirts like that was always a thing but the cover bag was an idea I had when I went to the Naval Academy and You know, you're always wearing that combination cover like in the Marine Corps You're lucky especially if you're in aviation like you already ever even see that thing Yeah, buddy with the chicken you're trucking that thing all around all the time and it's white And you know, all you got to do is sit on it once or you know Be holding an ink pen that you probably should have retired a week before next to it And you gotta take the whole thing apart or buy new parts or buy a new one And I'm like man if I just had a bag for this thing, so it was like a couple years of me sketching out what it probably should look like and then designing it and then You know once you make the first couple and then you kind of go from there, but no I've always had that Hey, wouldn't this be a good idea Like I probably I probably do that like three times a week. Yeah, I've always been the same way but I think like especially when I was when you're a kid or when you're really young you have no idea how to Capitalize on your idea like yeah idea how to implement it or execute. I mean, you just don't have those capabilities and then especially nowadays with the internet and all the technology and everything and in Alibaba and China and all these resources that are available You can you could come up with a harebrained idea in just a few months be taking it to market Whereas like 20 30 years ago. It was like almost impossible to do to do. Yeah. No, and that's something you People should keep in mind. Like if you've got what you think is a crazy idea Just keep kind of fleshing it out and then you know for me it was a buddy of mine He's like, hey, I got a buddy who's got a hat and bag factory in Newark, New Jersey And why don't you send me that sketch you talked about? So I sent it to him and the guy produced a demo and And that was the first one like just like that dude. That's awesome.

So When I saw your interview come through Murph I gotta admit I'm like the cover bag and I went to your website and I saw it and I'm like ding I get it instant instant like yep thumbs up and Cuz my wife and I were Amazon sellers for many years. We're totally out of the business now. Amazon just got to be Amazon was like walking through a minefield you like you thinking you're fine all sudden kaboom your right leg's missing You're like what the fuck? anyways So we're out of Amazon now, but I loved Amazon cuz like we talked about earlier when you're when you're young You come all these hair brained ideas. That's a great idea for product That's a great idea and I could I could run them to ground and be and be putting it on Amma be putting a great product on Amazon, you know within a few months sometimes Sometimes that's not a good thing because if it turned out not to be a good idea you lose a lot of money At least I could exercise these ideas for the first time in my life. And so I have a true appreciation for a great product and I Remember, you know getting my uniforms at the Marine Corps shop or the marine the marine shop in there in Quantico And I think I still have that white shredded cardboard box with my white cover in it somewhere back in storage and and I The whole time I'm like, how am I supposed to carry this thing around? I mean for 20 plus years in the Marine Corps I carded that thing around in a cardboard box and somehow it managed to work out for him when I saw the cover bag I'm like, oh, yeah, like I get it that that's it. Like like how did how'd you just come up with that idea? It was just I mean I get it It's like it's like a problem every one of us dealt with but nobody ever thought of the idea or at least executed on the idea Yeah, well, I always thought we you know, they're expensive So all you gotta do is have to replace one and you're like man, how do I not do that again? Yeah, and that's where it started but when I had You know that run -in with my buddy's friend who said he could make me a demo I was like a demo sounds like it sounds like I'm in it But he he produced, you know The first cover bag from my sketch and I and all I had was like a little couple tweaks And he sent I ordered about 15 of them and I opened up the box of these 15 cover bags And I handed him out to the guys that were doing the color guard For the ball when we had the ball the next night and when the Marines were like, holy shit, sir This is awesome. Where'd you get these? I was like funny story like I invented that and they're like what and then I knew that I had something and that's Really? Yeah pulling my money together and like spending quality time thinking about how I was gonna do it Wow Yeah, I got like a thousand questions cuz and like I said, I'm a product guy Like I love cool products and the idea behind it. So interviewing somebody that created a product it became successful Because it was just the right idea and Let me tell you man. I don't know if you realize this bit. It is hard to find to Manufacture something in the US and it's great that this is a military product Which by the way, I want to point out like I know in the Navy Marine Corps. We call it a cover your uniform hat The other services. I'm sure the Air Force didn't call it a cover. They probably caught a hat I'm not I'm not sure about the army But you know, I want to point out a cut the cover is your official military head piece or your you know It's your military hat but in the Marine Corps Navy, we call it the cover So your product is called the cover bag But I suppose you you wouldn't have wanted to call it the hat bag because then it would have just been like anything No, and I you know how you always wondered like you watch a commercial Or hear like a radio ad you're like I'm confused but like three minutes later you're still talking about it I think some of that. Yes, I think some of that has happened with calling it the cover back You know because I thought that I was gonna be selling to guys like you and me Like I thought this was gonna be you know by the troops for the troops type thing Yeah, but I have a ton of customers that are moms and Grandmas wives like they don't know what a cover is So they're like I pick up the phone and somebody says cat bag 95 % of the time really and I just I just kind of roll with it because it's one of those You got all these old ladies buying it to you're talking about it. So let's keep that up It's like the the the Red Hat Ladies Club is buying your bag for their hats and stuff or fancy hat No, they're buying it for their husband's boyfriend's grandchildren The cover bag is a huge gift idea like I'll send I'll sell like six figures worth of these things through the Marine Corps exchanges in a year I sell a lot more than that to friends and families of people graduating Parris Island and MCRD San Diego. It's it's absolutely fascinating and Much in the same way as cover bags hat bags hat covers all that stuff My favorite is that you know, I don't pay anything for advertising like I tried it a couple times It was to me It was like wasting money because I couldn't figure out if it was doing anything at all But people will get on Facebook and argue about what should be Embroidered on the cover bag. No, it should be last name first name. No, it should just be the initials No It should be first name and then the middle name and then the last name and I'm like this is amazing because it'll go on And then the website goes ding ding ding Yeah, well I suppose you know first initial middle initial last name, you know, maybe rank before that might you know if you're selling them to all the eighth and I Marines if it becomes that if he becomes a Regular issue piece of gear. Well, then you gotta you gotta do by right? I think that's probably eventually gonna happen. Yeah Yeah, the Marines like solve a lot of your problems. They just make you do stuff The Marine Corps ever figures out. Hey, we don't want anybody walking around with a bad -looking cover again We're gonna put one of them cover bags in their c -bag issue. Yeah, that's it. That'll solve that. Yeah Yeah, well then they won't have to walk around with it in you in there with their bent arm and hand, you know So So what are some of your numbers that you can share with us or just to give us a perspective on? How successful the cover bags? Well, to be honest The company's not openly for sale, so I'm not really in tune exactly with the numbers But I've been trying to get in with the Navy exchange So the last gentleman that worked there He didn't really understand and like how the cover bag was an amazing piece of gear But they're starting to get the memo now and the main number I've been talking with them is like hey Do you know I I do over six figures worth of business with the MCX at the Navy exchanges of which there is many Many more. Can you imagine how good this would do if it was available? Yeah to the Navy first hand and then retail, you know I do I do a lot more business retail than I do goals for sale. So well, dude, that's awesome. This is good you're always gonna need to protect that cover and like I said the the parents and Girlfriends wives and grandparents are on Facebook talking about what needs to be on a cover bag and they're like, what's a cover bag? Cover and then there I am my website just gets the pinks. Yeah You know, it's like that the old the old Henry Ford story where he says Well, if I had asked the customer what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse, you know, or right There's a quote similar from Steve Jobs Like sometimes the customer doesn't really know what they're looking forward what they need until they see it You can have any color car you want as long as it's black the other Henry Ford one yeah, and The cover bags kind of like that because if you said what's one of the biggest, you know You know pain in the ass things you do you deal with with your uniform? Nobody would have said I wish I had something to carry my cover in but I mean hardly anybody would have said that but When they see when they see the cover bag, they're like, oh, yeah I want one of them because I that is a pain point for me I just never realized that there would be as ever solution for it yeah, no, it's it's a no -brainer and eat and like People that aren't, you know actively using the cover like the parents can figure out that a cover bags a great idea And the other thing is, you know, mom's don't want to be buying their kids, you know, whiskey flasks and knives Something Practical they're not gonna put alcohol in or possibly shank somebody with It works out pretty good to get him a cover back and embroidery everybody loves embroidery that Yeah Now it's got your name on it, oh, yeah The embroidery thing for the cover bag is when it really exploded Yeah, and there's a nice big surface area on the thing for plenty of embroidery you can Yeah It takes a while if you come up with a design and you want me to put it on there that takes a little more time a little more involved, but I got plenty of patch choices and You can put whatever name you want on there nicknames Like if people get too wrapped up in what name they want in there or what order I'll be like Does your does your son have a pretty cool nickname? They're like, oh, yeah, we call him Sparky.

Yeah, we're headed towards, you know, seasonal weather, it's getting lower and lower, I mean, it's still pretty hot, my friend, during the day, but that's gonna start cooling down, well, that's gonna be so nice, just open windows and then we also see that that hurricane is out there, still, but they said it slowed down a little bit and so they're hoping that it's just gonna curve back up into the Atlantic, slow down a little bit yesterday, yeah, now, five miles an hour, yeah, back to the speed, it's picked up another five, uh -oh, but it is supposed to kind of turn it back into the Atlantic, right, until they throw the spaghetti on the wall, we really don't know, yeah, we don't know, I wish they'd throw some meatballs into that spaghetti, but the speed they said is back to 160, yesterday was from 160, that's crazy, so we are back from, you know, two days ago, so, doesn't know what it's doing, I think it's like driving with your wife, you know, it's just like, have you ever drove with your ex -wife when she said something, both of them, did she ever upset you and, and, you know, this is, you never drove like that, I tried to make sure that she never drove, I learned that in the army, right, when we, when you were out of the bunker, yeah, hold on, let me just give you another Iron Curtain story, they're the, they're the, my favorite of the day now, so, uh, we were, hold on, we were probably in the army for two weeks, you know, very fresh, you still don't know what, everything smells different, you still don't know what's going on, you know, they cut your hair, you have no hair, just look like a little, like, you know, freshly born, the little dog baby, yeah, and you just, you stick the head out of the bed, it goes like, what is today, you know, you just have no idea, so every day there was a surprise, so two weeks in, they just like, uh, you know, sound the alarm, everybody full gear, and they loaded us in this, uh, you know, very sophisticated army vehicles, you know, yeah, that has absolutely, absolutely no, uh, springs or any type of, you know, uh, no shock absorbers raining, no, no suspension, so you feel little stones on, on everything, so we're going in the road, and, uh, of course, you know, the, in the cabin, there were three seats only, and, uh, you know, the older soldiers, now we're gonna sit in the, in the, on the back, which we called pig house, you know, we call it pig house, like when you're transferring pigs to slaughterhouse, that's where you put them, that's where you guys were going, so the Russian front, so you're sitting, right, so you're sitting, uh, on a bench, very, like, a very nicely cushioned bench, which was jested from piece of wood, and you have all the gear on you, right, heavy, and now imagine you're sitting, uh, on a side, uh, towards front, so you don't, you don't sit, like, in the bus, like, facing front, right, right, you're sitting on the side, so we get out of the army base, and that soldier, that older soldier, no exactly, because they did same thing to him, when he was there, yeah, but he experienced it, and I learned it, and I later on did it to my ex -wife, she really liked that, you know, you hazed your own ex -wife, I was giving her the army special, you know, just the treatment, all the time, so she did something wrong, I just, so, so what he did, all the soldiers, like, he pressed the pedal, like, to the ground, right, the truck, it takes, like, maybe half a second to pick up, right, the speed, so just, like, move forward, and then he let it go, and press the brake, and just stop, and he did it, like, maybe 15, 20 times, some guys start puking, because they couldn't, like, you're sitting side to side, right, and you're hitting each other with this heavy gear, you got car sickness, yeah, yeah, so, you know, that's what, uh, I did to my ex -wife, oh, you're horrible, so when she was, you know, just, uh, the, you know, I'm, I'm, wouldn't it have been just better to be, do it my way, just don't let her drive, no, I was driving my ex -wife, when she was telling her where to go, and what to do, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised the airbag didn't explode, oh my gosh, you know, she was really close with the face to the dashboard, it's not better than my friend from England, you know, what he did to his ex -wife, no, well, she started, I think, she got upset one day, because he forgot they had the tickets to the theater, and he came, uh, you know, what do you call it, uh, socially tired, he came from this, uh, place called restaurant, you know, after work, he worked for socially gathering, yeah, and he came home socially tired, right, yeah, so, uh, he didn't want to go to the theater, he went to social gathering, he didn't want to go, he was tired, I don't want to go anywhere, well, after a few beers, he got really tired, right, so he came home, yeah, she started yelling at him that they have to go, and they have to take shower and everything, and he's, you know, kind of like, I'm not going, and all this, so, right, he said it was so much fire in the house, that he had to dress himself, and all these things, and then when he was opening the door for her to get, uh, you know, seated in the car, he slammed the door when her hand was still between the doors, did he do it on purpose, oh my god, I guess we're staying home, so he saw her hand still holding when she was getting in the car, still telling him stuff, so he just shut the door, said we end up in the ER, I told her I don't want to go to the theater, oh, I'm surprised he didn't push her back in the car and say drive yourself to the emergency room, but yes, call me when you're, so next time, get all fixed up, when your wife is telling you stuff in the car, you just pretend you're in the army, press the pedal, gas, brake, gas, brake, and if that doesn't work, slam her hand in the door, that's the treatment, uh, but that would be the, that would be definitely, that'd be the extreme, yeah, well we're getting to our segment, which is our favorite segment of, uh, I'm thinking of it, it is my favorite segment, what do you call it, uh, decades, yeah, it is, it's of the century, maybe, we've been doing this for five years, but we just started this segment last week, but I love it for five years, I do too, I love this segment for whole five years, yeah, because it is what it is, and what is this segment, we know everything that the guy who knows everything doesn't know, so there you go, that's right, and if we, if we don't know it, we'll, we'll give the answer later, yeah, we will know it, there will be time, eventually, yeah, yeah, we will get to know it, because we're, we're on the mission on, on the know, it, I love I do too, yeah, so the idea is just to bring the news around the town, the Southwest Florida, what's going on, so you, your life is a little bit more educated, so you know, these days, there are fact checkers, and all kind of different things that are providing us from finding out what really is happening, so that's why Matt and I are dedicated, we eat cake over here, drink coffee, get fed, we have little doors, so I mean, this is, there's a situation we may not gonna get out of the studio one day, but for now, we, we are able to exit, so you know, if you're listening, you may be smarter, because, yeah, because you get all kinds of information, yeah, I mean, can I give you a couple, a little bit of information you got over a couple of decades? 1960, Yeah, oil is gone in 10 years, let me give you another one, 1970s was the ice age in 10 years, so we're gonna, that kind of didn't happen, 1980s, acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years, what's the deal with 10 years, the 90s, the ozone layer will be gone in 10 years, what year is it right now, Rich? Did it start already? I guess, and then 2000 ice caps will be gone in 10 years, so when that started, that started in 2000, well, I think, I think Al Gore need to come back and explain that to us, so what we want to do is give you news that you can use in 10 years, oh, I love it, yeah, so let me just start with this, interesting fact that happened in Ecolier County and commissioners, they actually, I guess, start thinking, you know, what to do and how to, how to, maybe they use the crystal ball, how to plan the future here, yeah, maybe, and we've been preaching this for a while, we were always saying, yes, we were, Diva and Aprils, you know, we want to bring communities together because whatever, it's gonna be day, and it's not far, but federal government is gonna be thinking, we don't have much money left, what we're gonna do and how we're gonna distribute it, maybe we're just gonna skip some of the states and states gonna say, hey, we didn't get money, so some of the counties, and this is how it's gonna go, and counties to the cities and so on and so forth, so, all the way down to the local government, you have to realize that one day you're gonna have to be your own doctor, your own, you know, lawyer, and your own gardener, and your own everything, so let's just start practicing this, let's be independent, it's like our own community, and we're coming up with solutions, our own solutions as a community and coming together, and that's what we're all about, building community, and budgets obviously are a big part of that, and we live in Collier County, I believe the greatest county in all of Florida, that's my own opinion, but now you're gonna share some information about what's going on, I mean, we have some serious issues that we're gonna have to deal with, and this, let me say this, and we get there, okay, there's two things that could happen, you either gotta cut budgets to balance the budget, or you need to raise taxes to pay for that stuff, and we can do both, you can do both, but the real thing would be is to take an assessment and find out what we really need, what programs, where we can realistically cut the budget, and the federal government is in debt, we're all in debt, and they're gonna have to finally come to grips that you just can't spend yourself into wealth, and they're gonna have to make cuts, and the way they're gonna make cuts is doing exactly what you said, they're gonna cut their funds to the states and say, you guys are now responsible for that, and where are we gonna make up the shortcomings on that, is two things like you said both, either we're gonna cut the budgets, or we're gonna raise taxes, and as citizens, and people in the community, we should be involved in that discussion, because it's gonna affect every single person one way or the other, you may be somebody that relies on some of these programs that the county's gonna start talking about, you know, the budgets, and maybe cutting, and that type of stuff, so that's why we come here and tell you, hey, be educated, we're letting you know, they're coming up with this commission meeting to start talking about the budget, and this one's gonna involve cut, and they discuss that in accounting, what they're gonna be cutting, how they're gonna be cutting, which is smarter way to do it, because they still have time, right, so I think, you know, we're going a good direction, exactly, and here we are, Diwai Naples, we would like to educate you and everybody else, instead of cutting budgets, and you know, raising taxes, why we don't just spend a little bit more money with our local businesses, because we keep them, keep them in business, and today, you know, actually yesterday, Friday, seasonal week, or in our case, two weeks of restaurant dining, for $29, $39, and $49, depends what restaurant you go to, it's available to you, so you will support our local businesses, we'll keep people employed, you know, keep the money here in our community, local taxes going into the coffer, we don't have to raise the taxes, because we just naturally, stimulating the economy, that's what it is, that's exactly right, and you brought, that's the key point right there, so if we learn this right now, we don't have to worry about it later, right, and you know, we're gonna go as far as a school district has enough money to, you know, still have teachers, and have kids in the school safe, and learning the right things, and EMS being available to come to your house quickly, because they have a full tank of gas, proper funding, yeah, proper funding, so keep this in mind, because I think it's very important, and I'm really excited that our leaders in the county are taking initiatives, and they start already, you know, this conversation, because they can, they can see the devil on the wall, yeah, the handwriting's on the wall, baby, because that's coming, no matter what, and it's the day of reckoning, they call it, and we have a lot of programs that we are preparing, one of them is, for example, Divine Naples Club, that will be just for residents of Collier County, and once you prove your residence, there's gonna be a lot of benefits you're gonna be getting, so we wanna, you know, we're gonna participate in it, we're gonna be somehow leaders into this movement as well, so you know, just keep eye on our profile, social media, website, and on EARS on this podcast, we will bring everything to your ears, yes, so that's what I have to say about community budget, you know, budgeting, and being a community, we have 23 websites in 18 languages, so you can find a lot of information that we are passionately putting together, now, that would be the most serious stone, right, and now, since it's Saturday, and you're stuffing your face, I think we should, what else is new, yeah, we should stick to food, yeah, yeah, that's, why not, yeah, that's what everybody does this weekend, right, everybody's out, you know, dining, finding dining, they only ask two crazy people, you know, sitting here, well, we're finding a way to do it here, yeah, that's true, right, we always find a way, we do, so we don't left, where there's a will, there's a way, there's no left behind, even if we call in for takeout, so I just, you know, I have nine food dishes, signature food dishes, they are so symbolic for Florida, you have ideas, oh yeah, let me start with this, I'm gonna name them, and you give me an idea of what you think about it, okay, how about this, all right, key lime pie, oh, that is a signature of Florida, and it is probably my favorite tart dish, the key lime pie is so tart, and I just love the way it's made, and there's such a different variety, different, you can get that just about at any restaurant in southwest Florida, you know, I mean, it's a staple, bro, that's the dessert of the state, right, that, I mean, that's true, and you know what's interesting about this, this was invented in Key West, in the beginning of 19th century, before even a refrigerator was invented, what did they put in it to keep it, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, the key ingredients is pie to sweetened condensed milk, yeah, so, you know, that's just like a pickled, sugar, doesn't have to be refrigerated, yeah, exactly, yeah, just so you know, if you need to, sugar sausages, it's delicious, it's delicious, gator tails, how about that, I do, but actually, I like them better in what are called gator nuggets, or gator balls, and I like them in smaller pieces, and the way I like it, I mean, some make it and saute it and do other ways, but I like it fried, there's nothing like fried gator, and I dip my gator nuggets or balls in barbecue sauce, it's my favorite, and it is a staple, again, in Florida, it's tradition, oh, I think there's been a tradition forever, since Indians, they made them, fried them, they may just ate them differently, no, they did, they've ate it, like, I'm sure that he, he didn't have alligator sushi, did you, did you live with Indians, so, you know, no, I don't know, okay, so, you don't know, I don't know, but I want to know, because we're supposed to know everything, I know, I mean, you, you pretend, like, you know, right, but maybe they do it, like, we do marshmallows, maybe they put it on a stick and roast it over the fire, that's exactly how you would do it, with sausage, yeah, let me just correct you, I mean, you always pretend, like, you know, but I'm here to make you look like you don't know, but I know, right, yeah, and to make me look, you know, like, like, you don't know, I don't know, you're right, yeah, so, Indians were always doing it, but these days, it's kind of hard to access, or get access to this food, because it's only during the open hunting season, and people that hunt for alligators need to have a license, so it's a little bit more sophisticated, but they, from the tail, there's the pieces on the top of the tail that are used for this, you know, this delicatessen, and it's only during the certain, you know, months of the year, so unless you freeze it, then you're probably gonna have it fresh, exactly, in some of the places and restaurants, there's not many of them around, but it tastes like a chicken, yeah, everything tastes like chicken, although I never say that, because gator tastes like gator to me, yeah, well, it tastes like chicken, all right, everything tastes like cabbage, do you know what that is? No, and it's, I just learned today, so we're in the know, why don't you share that with me? It's called Heart of Palm, and it's been eaten for hundreds of years, the leaves of the branches of the palm were used to construction ever, historically known for being part of the many early folks, in fact, one group of early Americans was able to repel British army attacks because of really, yeah, so part of the palm that used for construction, they also eat and they make, you know, oh, that's right, it's, they have it in cans, right? Yeah, yeah, so that's, that's, you know, the palm is all around us, we just don't know which one it is, I know, and that's just, you know, I guess back to Indians, yeah, game, there you go, conch fritters, oh, I love crunk fritters, and those things are fried also, did you know what they call that? Escargot of Florida, that's right, because the actual meat is actually a snail, most people probably wouldn't eat it if they'd known that, but usually it's chopped up and put in a fritter, a batter and fried, it's delicious, you ever had it? I don't think so, because I don't eat seafood, I don't play the balls, and I don't watch TV, would you like me to bring it so you can try it one time, it's more like a hush puppy, let me bring it, you can have it, okay, no, I don't, I don't eat seafood, well I love them, and whenever I have a go to a restaurant that has them, I try to make that my appetizer, the dish originates from Bahamas, but it's, it transfers to the kivas, that's where it starts, you know, spreading north from there, so it just gives you an idea, fried green tomatoes, oh I love it, you ever seen that movie, no, which movie, it's a movie, fried green tomatoes, but anyway, they're delicious, you ever had those, you don't like fried food, no, I don't eat much, you eat fried chicken though, well the chicken tenders, you eat fried chicken too, not much, if I bring fried chicken here to you, you're gonna eat it, I'm gonna get you Popeyes, I don't think I've ever had it, yeah, well I think I'll bring you some Popeyes, you might like it, I'm not a big Kentucky fried chicken fan, well we're gonna talk about it today, remind me, okay, yeah, all right, when we're gonna go into the national days, something important you need to know, okay, public subs, that's really interesting, yeah, you know what, I really like their bread, because bread is a sandwich, and we are, we were able to even make better sandwich with our ciabatta bread, oh yeah, and we're getting, we're getting actually, reviews, I mean a lot of people just love our sandwiches, because the ciabatta bread comes out crispy, so crispy, and we balanced all these flavors, you know, we have, strategically, yeah, we have mustards, we have tomato, greens, pickles, European pickles, meat, cheese on the sandwich, I mean, you know, we just balanced it so nicely, the sandwich from Publix is good, but it's just, I think, too big, and also, you know, there's just a lot of bread in it, right, and our sandwich is not that much bread, but it's more crispier, so it's more like a baguette, crispier type of thing, and I just love our ciabatta, I love the little charred bit a bit on it, it's just, the flavor is great, yeah, well, then we invite people, oysters, yep, and then we have a lot of oyster bars around here, Pelican Larry's is known for it, I'm not a big raw oyster fan, I like them fried, and I like them on bread, yeah, well, a sandwich, a poor boy, somebody just posted something on the social media, how they were trying to eat oysters, and they see these little maggots coming through it, after they put lemon on it, I never had oysters, I don't like them, so if you are going for oysters, be careful, make sure you don't get it because they are raw, so it could be a lot of parasites and a lot of bacteria, so just be careful, you know, it could be a problem. Strawberry shortcake, yes, well, what do you tell me? I love it, you don't like it? I like it, I like the cake, it's usually a shortbread cake, little round circle, some people make them scratch, you can buy them in grocery stores, and you just cut up your strawberries, you can add a little syrup to it if you like, to make it a little sweeter, I like to just have mine fresh with the strawberry juice, and then whipped cream, now I would love to have your special German whipped cream on one of those, and a little touch for me is to sprinkle a little bit of nuts on top of it, that's my own personal way of doing strawberry shortcake, but I love it. Great idea, but you know what, it's really interesting to know that strawberry shortcake came from Florida, and it's from town that is called Plant City, and it's the smallest town in Helzberg County, about 15 minutes from Tampa, and they produce 15 % of the strawberries sold in the United States.

I got that weather today and we're gonna have a sunny day in the beginning, it's gonna be 99 it was today and we're gonna get down to a low of 78, a little bit of rain at 9 o 'clock, about a 70 % chance, then at 10 o 'clock 50 and at 11 o 'clock 40 % chance, so we're gonna have a pretty nice day, do you think we're gonna have rain? Yeah, we're headed towards, you know, seasonal weather, it's getting lower and lower, I mean, it's still pretty hot, my friend, during the day, but that's gonna start cooling down, well, that's gonna be so nice, just open windows and then we also see that that hurricane is out there, still, but they said it slowed down a little bit and so they're hoping that it's just gonna curve back up into the Atlantic, slow down a little bit yesterday, yeah, now, five miles an hour, yeah, back to the speed, it's picked up another five, uh -oh, but it is supposed to kind of turn it back into the Atlantic, right, until they throw the spaghetti on the wall, we really don't know, yeah, we don't know, I wish they'd throw some meatballs into that spaghetti, but the speed they said is back to 160, yesterday was from 160, that's crazy, so we are back from, you know, two days ago, so, doesn't know what it's doing, I think it's like driving with your wife, you know, it's just like, have you ever drove with your ex -wife when she said something, both of them, did she ever upset you and, and, you know, this is, you never drove like that, I tried to make sure that she never drove, I learned that in the army, right, when we, when you were out of the bunker, yeah, hold on, let me just give you another Iron Curtain story, they're the, they're the, my favorite of the day now, so, uh, we were, hold on, we were probably in the army for two weeks, you know, very fresh, you still don't know what, everything smells different, you still don't know what's going on, you know, they cut your hair, you have no hair, just look like a little, like, you know, freshly born, the little dog baby, yeah, and you just, you stick the head out of the bed, it goes like, what is today, you know, you just have no idea, so every day there was a surprise, so two weeks in, they just like, uh, you know, sound the alarm, everybody full gear, and they loaded us in this, uh, you know, very sophisticated army vehicles, you know, yeah, that has absolutely, absolutely no, uh, springs or any type of, you know, uh, no shock absorbers raining, no, no suspension, so you feel little stones on, on everything, so we're going in the road, and, uh, of course, you know, the, in the cabin, there were three seats only, and, uh, you know, the older soldiers, now we're gonna sit in the, in the, on the back, which we called pig house, you know, we call it pig house, like when you're transferring pigs to slaughterhouse, that's where you put them, that's where you guys were going, so the Russian front, so you're sitting, right, so you're sitting, uh, on a bench, very, like, a very nicely cushioned bench, which was jested from piece of wood, and you have all the gear on you, right, heavy, and now imagine you're sitting, uh, on a side, uh, towards front, so you don't, you don't sit, like, in the bus, like, facing front, right, right, you're sitting on the side, so we get out of the army base, and that soldier, that older soldier, no exactly, because they did same thing to him, when he was there, yeah, but he experienced it, and I learned it, and I later on did it to my ex -wife, she really liked that, you know, you hazed your own ex -wife, I was giving her the army special, you know, just the treatment, all the time, so she did something wrong, I just, so, so what he did, all the soldiers, like, he pressed the pedal, like, to the ground, right, the truck, it takes, like, maybe half a second to pick up, right, the speed, so just, like, move forward, and then he let it go, and press the brake, and just stop, and he did it, like, maybe 15, 20 times, some guys start puking, because they couldn't, like, you're sitting side to side, right, and you're hitting each other with this heavy gear, you got car sickness, yeah, yeah, so, you know, that's what, uh, I did to my ex -wife, oh, you're horrible, so when she was, you know, just, uh, the, you know, I'm, I'm, wouldn't it have been just better to be, do it my way, just don't let her drive, no, I was driving my ex -wife, when she was telling her where to go, and what to do, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised the airbag didn't explode, oh my gosh, you know, she was really close with the face to the dashboard, it's not better than my friend from England, you know, what he did to his ex -wife, no, well, she started, I think, she got upset one day, because he forgot they had the tickets to the theater, and he came, uh, you know, what do you call it, uh, socially tired, he came from this, uh, place called restaurant, you know, after work, he worked for socially gathering, yeah, and he came home socially tired, right, yeah, so, uh, he didn't want to go to the theater, he went to social gathering, he didn't want to go, he was tired, I don't want to go anywhere, well, after a few beers, he got really tired, right, so he came home, yeah, she started yelling at him that they have to go, and they have to take shower and everything, and he's, you know, kind of like, I'm not going, and all this, so, right, he said it was so much fire in the house, that he had to dress himself, and all these things, and then when he was opening the door for her to get, uh, you know, seated in the car, he slammed the door when her hand was still between the doors, did he do it on purpose, oh my god, I guess we're staying home, so he saw her hand still holding when she was getting in the car, still telling him stuff, so he just shut the door, said we end up in the ER, I told her I don't want to go to the theater, oh, I'm surprised he didn't push her back in the car and say drive yourself to the emergency room, but yes, call me when you're, so next time, get all fixed up, when your wife is telling you stuff in the car, you just pretend you're in the army, press the pedal, gas, brake, gas, brake, and if that doesn't work, slam her hand in the door, that's the treatment, uh, but that would be the, that would be definitely, that'd be the extreme, yeah, well we're getting to our segment, which is our favorite segment of, uh, I'm thinking of it, it is my favorite segment, what do you call it, uh, decades, yeah, it is, it's of the century, maybe, we've been doing this for five years, but we just started this segment last week, but I love it for five years, I do too, I love this segment for whole five years, yeah, because it is what it is, and what is this segment, we know everything that the guy who knows everything doesn't know, so there you go, that's right, and if we, if we don't know it, we'll, we'll give the answer later, yeah, we will know it, there will be time, eventually, yeah, yeah, we will get to know it, because we're, we're on the mission on, on the know, it, I love I do too, yeah, so the idea is just to bring the news around the town, the Southwest Florida, what's going on, so you, your life is a little bit more educated, so you know, these days, there are fact checkers, and all kind of different things that are providing us from finding out what really is happening, so that's why Matt and I are dedicated, we eat cake over here, drink coffee, get fed, we have little doors, so I mean, this is, there's a situation we may not gonna get out of the studio one day, but for now, we, we are able to exit, so you know, if you're listening, you may be smarter, because, yeah, because you get all kinds of information, yeah, I mean, can I give you a couple, a little bit of information you got over a couple of decades? 1960, Yeah, oil is gone in 10 years, let me give you another one, 1970s was the ice age in 10 years, so we're gonna, that kind of didn't happen, 1980s, acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years, what's the deal with 10 years, the 90s, the ozone layer will be gone in 10 years, what year is it right now, Rich? Did it start already? I guess, and then 2000 ice caps will be gone in 10 years, so when that started, that started in 2000, well, I think, I think Al Gore need to come back and explain that to us, so what we want to do is give you news that you can use in 10 years, oh, I love it, yeah, so let me just start with this, interesting fact that happened in Ecolier County and commissioners, they actually, I guess, start thinking, you know, what to do and how to, how to, maybe they use the crystal ball, how to plan the future here, yeah, maybe, and we've been preaching this for a while, we were always saying, yes, we were, Diva and Aprils, you know, we want to bring communities together because whatever, it's gonna be day, and it's not far, but federal government is gonna be thinking, we don't have much money left, what we're gonna do and how we're gonna distribute it, maybe we're just gonna skip some of the states and states gonna say, hey, we didn't get money, so some of the counties, and this is how it's gonna go, and counties to the cities and so on and so forth, so, all the way down to the local government, you have to realize that one day you're gonna have to be your own doctor, your own, you know, lawyer, and your own gardener, and your own everything, so let's just start practicing this, let's be independent, it's like our own community, and we're coming up with solutions, our own solutions as a community and coming together, and that's what we're all about, building community, and budgets obviously are a big part of that, and we live in Collier County, I believe the greatest county in all of Florida, that's my own opinion, but now you're gonna share some information about what's going on, I mean, we have some serious issues that we're gonna have to deal with, and this, let me say this, and we get there, okay, there's two things that could happen, you either gotta cut budgets to balance the budget, or you need to raise taxes to pay for that stuff, and we can do both, you can do both, but the real thing would be is to take an assessment and find out what we really need, what programs, where we can realistically cut the budget, and the federal government is in debt, we're all in debt, and they're gonna have to finally come to grips that you just can't spend yourself into wealth, and they're gonna have to make cuts, and the way they're gonna make cuts is doing exactly what you said, they're gonna cut their funds to the states and say, you guys are now responsible for that, and where are we gonna make up the shortcomings on that, is two things like you said both, either we're gonna cut the budgets, or we're gonna raise taxes, and as citizens, and people in the community, we should be involved in that discussion, because it's gonna affect every single person one way or the other, you may be somebody that relies on some of these programs that the county's gonna start talking about, you know, the budgets, and maybe cutting, and that type of stuff, so that's why we come here and tell you, hey, be educated, we're letting you know, they're coming up with this commission meeting to start talking about the budget, and this one's gonna involve cut, and they discuss that in accounting, what they're gonna be cutting, how they're gonna be cutting, which is smarter way to do it, because they still have time, right, so I think, you know, we're going a good direction, exactly, and here we are, Diwai Naples, we would like to educate you and everybody else, instead of cutting budgets, and you know, raising taxes, why we don't just spend a little bit more money with our local businesses, because we keep them, keep them in business, and today, you know, actually yesterday, Friday, seasonal week, or in our case, two weeks of restaurant dining, for $29, $39, and $49, depends what restaurant you go to, it's available to you, so you will support our local businesses, we'll keep people employed, you know, keep the money here in our community, local taxes going into the coffer, we don't have to raise the taxes, because we just naturally, stimulating the economy, that's what it is, that's exactly right, and you brought, that's the key point right there, so if we learn this right now, we don't have to worry about it later, right, and you know, we're gonna go as far as a school district has enough money to, you know, still have teachers, and have kids in the school safe, and learning the right things, and EMS being available to come to your house quickly, because they have a full tank of gas, proper funding, yeah, proper funding, so keep this in mind, because I think it's very important, and I'm really excited that our leaders in the county are taking initiatives, and they start already, you know, this conversation, because they can, they can see the devil on the wall, yeah, the handwriting's on the wall, baby, because that's coming, no matter what, and it's the day of reckoning, they call it, and we have a lot of programs that we are preparing, one of them is, for example, Divine Naples Club, that will be just for residents of Collier County, and once you prove your residence, there's gonna be a lot of benefits you're gonna be getting, so we wanna, you know, we're gonna participate in it, we're gonna be somehow leaders into this movement as well, so you know, just keep eye on our profile, social media, website, and on EARS on this podcast, we will bring everything to your ears, yes, so that's what I have to say about community budget, you know, budgeting, and being a community, we have 23 websites in 18 languages, so you can find a lot of information that we are passionately putting together, now, that would be the most serious stone, right, and now, since it's Saturday, and you're stuffing your face, I think we should, what else is new, yeah, we should stick to food, yeah, yeah, that's, why not, yeah, that's what everybody does this weekend, right, everybody's out, you know, dining, finding dining, they only ask two crazy people, you know, sitting here, well, we're finding a way to do it here, yeah, that's true, right, we always find a way, we do, so we don't left, where there's a will, there's a way, there's no left behind, even if we call in for takeout, so I just, you know, I have nine food dishes, signature food dishes, they are so symbolic for Florida, you have ideas, oh yeah, let me start with this, I'm gonna name them, and you give me an idea of what you think about it, okay, how about this, all right, key lime pie, oh, that is a signature of Florida, and it is probably my favorite tart dish, the key lime pie is so tart, and I just love the way it's made, and there's such a different variety, different, you can get that just about at any restaurant in southwest Florida, you know, I mean, it's a staple, bro, that's the dessert of the state, right, that, I mean, that's true, and you know what's interesting about this, this was invented in Key West, in the beginning of 19th century, before even a refrigerator was invented, what did they put in it to keep it, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, the key ingredients is pie to sweetened condensed milk, yeah, so, you know, that's just like a pickled, sugar, doesn't have to be refrigerated, yeah, exactly, yeah, just so you know, if you need to, sugar sausages, it's delicious, it's delicious, gator tails, how about that, I do, but actually, I like them better in what are called gator nuggets, or gator balls, and I like them in smaller pieces, and the way I like it, I mean, some make it and saute it and do other ways, but I like it fried, there's nothing like fried gator, and I dip my gator nuggets or balls in barbecue sauce, it's my favorite, and it is a staple, again, in Florida, it's tradition, oh, I think there's been a tradition forever, since Indians, they made them, fried them, they may just ate them differently, no, they did, they've ate it, like, I'm sure that he, he didn't have alligator sushi, did you, did you live with Indians, so, you know, no, I don't know, okay, so, you don't know, I don't know, but I want to know, because we're supposed to know everything, I know, I mean, you, you pretend, like, you know, right, but maybe they do it, like, we do marshmallows, maybe they put it on a stick and roast it over the fire, that's exactly how you would do it, with sausage, yeah, let me just correct you, I mean, you always pretend, like, you know, but I'm here to make you look like you don't know, but I know, right, yeah, and to make me look, you know, like, like, you don't know, I don't know, you're right, yeah, so, Indians were always doing it, but these days, it's kind of hard to access, or get access to this food, because it's only during the open hunting season, and people that hunt for alligators need to have a license, so it's a little bit more sophisticated, but they, from the tail, there's the pieces on the top of the tail that are used for this, you know, this delicatessen, and it's only during the certain, you know, months of the year, so unless you freeze it, then you're probably gonna have it fresh, exactly, in some of the places and restaurants, there's not many of them around, but it tastes like a chicken, yeah, everything tastes like chicken, although I never say that, because gator tastes like gator to me, yeah, well, it tastes like chicken, all right, everything tastes like cabbage, do you know what that is? No, and it's, I just learned today, so we're in the know, why don't you share that with me? It's called Heart of Palm, and it's been eaten for hundreds of years, the leaves of the branches of the palm were used to construction ever, historically known for being part of the many early folks, in fact, one group of early Americans was able to repel British army attacks because of really, yeah, so part of the palm that used for construction, they also eat and they make, you know, oh, that's right, it's, they have it in cans, right? Yeah, yeah, so that's, that's, you know, the palm is all around us, we just don't know which one it is, I know, and that's just, you know, I guess back to Indians, yeah, game, there you go, conch fritters, oh, I love crunk fritters, and those things are fried also, did you know what they call that? Escargot of Florida, that's right, because the actual meat is actually a snail, most people probably wouldn't eat it if they'd known that, but usually it's chopped up and put in a fritter, a batter and fried, it's delicious, you ever had it? I don't think so, because I don't eat seafood, I don't play the balls, and I don't watch TV, would you like me to bring it so you can try it one time, it's more like a hush puppy, let me bring it, you can have it, okay, no, I don't, I don't eat seafood, well I love them, and whenever I have a go to a restaurant that has them, I try to make that my appetizer, the dish originates from Bahamas, but it's, it transfers to the kivas, that's where it starts, you know, spreading north from there, so it just gives you an idea, fried green tomatoes, oh I love it, you ever seen that movie, no, which movie, it's a movie, fried green tomatoes, but anyway, they're delicious, you ever had those, you don't like fried food, no, I don't eat much, you eat fried chicken though, well the chicken tenders, you eat fried chicken too, not much, if I bring fried chicken here to you, you're gonna eat it, I'm gonna get you Popeyes, I don't think I've ever had it, yeah, well I think I'll bring you some Popeyes, you might like it, I'm not a big Kentucky fried chicken fan, well we're gonna talk about it today, remind me, okay, yeah, all right, when we're gonna go into the national days, something important you need to know, okay, public subs, that's really interesting, yeah, you know what, I really like their bread, because bread is a sandwich, and we are, we were able to even make better sandwich with our ciabatta bread, oh yeah, and we're getting, we're getting actually, reviews, I mean a lot of people just love our sandwiches, because the ciabatta bread comes out crispy, so crispy, and we balanced all these flavors, you know, we have, strategically, yeah, we have mustards, we have tomato, greens, pickles, European pickles, meat, cheese on the sandwich, I mean, you know, we just balanced it so nicely, the sandwich from Publix is good, but it's just, I think, too big, and also, you know, there's just a lot of bread in it, right, and our sandwich is not that much bread, but it's more crispier, so it's more like a baguette, crispier type of thing, and I just love our ciabatta, I love the little charred bit a bit on it, it's just, the flavor is great, yeah, well, then we invite people, oysters, yep, and then we have a lot of oyster bars around here, Pelican Larry's is known for it, I'm not a big raw oyster fan, I like them fried, and I like them on bread, yeah, well, a sandwich, a poor boy, somebody just posted something on the social media, how they were trying to eat oysters, and they see these little maggots coming through it, after they put lemon on it, I never had oysters, I don't like them, so if you are going for oysters, be careful, make sure you don't get it because they are raw, so it could be a lot of parasites and a lot of bacteria, so just be careful, you know, it could be a problem. Strawberry shortcake, yes, well, what do you tell me? I love it, you don't like it? I like it, I like the cake, it's usually a shortbread cake, little round circle, some people make them scratch, you can buy them in grocery stores, and you just cut up your strawberries, you can add a little syrup to it if you like, to make it a little sweeter, I like to just have mine fresh with the strawberry juice, and then whipped cream, now I would love to have your special German whipped cream on one of those, and a little touch for me is to sprinkle a little bit of nuts on top of it, that's my own personal way of doing strawberry shortcake, but I love it. Great idea, but you know what, it's really interesting to know that strawberry shortcake came from Florida, and it's from town that is called Plant City, and it's the smallest town in Helzberg County, about 15 minutes from Tampa, and they produce 15 % of the strawberries sold in the United States.

I'll tell you why. I have to, I have to take a blood test and a urine test and then an EKG for a particular life policy that I'm getting that creates this infinite banking thing. But anyway, that's a subject for another day.

"Hand wash it. Don't ever give it up. It's not organic. You know. Yeah. Never give me anything she hasn't picked out. That's the rule. Exactly. So absolutely. And so because it wasn't helpful to our household. I mean, look at what people do when Emily died. You know that story. What happened the very first day after I announced that Emily died. She died on whatever day. A Wednesday, a Thursday or something. The next day, I had 7 rotisserie chickens. On the counter. No one can eat that much chicken. Okay? It doesn't matter who comes over or who wants to pay their respects. Don't nobody need 7 rotisserie chickens, but you don't ask, you just help. It's very helpful. It's lovely, but it left me so distracted. By the chickens that, like, it was just ridiculous, honestly. Hi, nice to see you. Would you like some chicken? I'm so glad you came. How about a bite of chicken? It was ridiculous. So stop sending rotisserie chickens as I think our point. And don't send LLC any gifts that she hasn't picked out ever. Or you can ask me, I know what she likes. And at least you can send it. Yeah, but see, I think that's what it is. You want to help me ask elsie. I'm still if you want to help elsie ask me. We can help. We got help. And also the good guys. Never, ever, Boston market. It is such a challenge. I think it's a lot more challenging and we get it. And that's why I think I want you guys all to think about for like maybe pausing and letting us or whatever just is going to create a little list, right, Jess, I'm putting you on the spot here. That's going to be available on Friday, where if you do want to help, it's going to have like a little here's what you can do list, right?

"Is every year in Florida. And I understand people don't feel safe and there's a travel ban and perhaps between now and then there's something I can do about that, but there's no butt. I don't know what to say about whether or not you can come or don't come. I think you have to use your own discretion. I know that it was brought up on one of the social posts over the weekend or in a chat, and there are women from Orlando that have stated that they have a very strong black and LGBTQ community already in Orlando that they live there all the time and not everyone can just move away when someone puts together a travel ban. So there is a community there. I'm sure, just like in Atlanta, the first year when people were unhappy with me going to Atlanta, you know, that that community still deserves to be supported and educated and seen and heard and visited. So I don't think I'll change the venue because I didn't really choose it in the first place, but if that's a possibility, I'll have to let you guys know. I don't want to say no because, you know, obviously I don't want participants to be unsafe. But I also haven't read enough to know whether or not that's like a is that a statement that the NAACP did that or is there like, I mean, it's obviously a statement. It's a big statement to say black people aren't safe in Florida. That's a very big statement. But I don't know if it means, it's not like COVID, I guess, is what I'm saying, but it's probably still dangerous. But everywhere is dangerous right now too. First of all, I'm having some serious thoughts about the whole Florida situation myself. Just because it is no, but let me finish. 'cause I did, when I wrote my piece of what I put out there, a blog post that I wrote about a lot of the feelings that I was having. I had some of the most meaningful people to me in the podcasting space. Our black women and especially from the LGBTQ+ community. I know. And knowing that choosing a venue could possibly harm them and have them feel completely unsafe and knowing the kind of news that are going out from coming from Florida to basically make them on the inhuman in some way, like just diminish them in such a, I was just like, oh, Jesus. But at the same time, there is a situation right now that you needed help with and you had somebody who I was truly respect who lied. At one person who stepped the fuck up to bail you out and bail our community out because he is a, just a kind. Dear kind of soul and generous soul who just straight up said it. And then there's two things happening at the same time. That I can be true. And so I sat there and I was like, it may gave me frustration. So this is what I wrote on my piece. On my blog post, and this is what I said. I said, I'm disappointed that urgent solutions to crisis situations are a compromise among imperfect choices. And as much as the choice saves, it also harms. In the harm goes directly to those that are the most vulnerable. So I hear you and I I'm there. I get it. I have zero zero desire to have any of the folks that feel unsafe to attend to podcasts live in Orlando.

"What you're going to have to do is something that many of us haven't done in a long time, which is sit tight, be patient, be ready and come back to just in mid July. Well, no, I'm not, I mean, I'm straight up saying this because I know you're going to work your ass off. What do you mean? Wait, just be quiet. Let me finish. Please, you and the team are going to work your asses off to be able to deliver something through that time. You need to have some time on your own to just not deal with all of this stuff. There's going to be a lot of things you're going to have to deal with operationally being online, managing people, managing emails, making sure people show up, all of whatever is going to happen when it comes to dealing with the event. Then you're going to need some time to just deal with whatever happens after and yourself. And the team to just pause. Then you can start the conversations with whatever it is or whoever it is that want to participate at that time. Unless they can be helpful right now as in like they're donating their time to do something or giving money right now to do something. But other than that, it's just going to take your brain, especially your brain, just away from what operationally needs to be happening to put an ag event on. Like you can't be going off and creating the vision of what's coming next. If you have something you gotta deliver on, I know what that feels like for me. I mean, that's true, but to some extent, everything that you just described is something that staff will do. It's sort of my job as CEO to envision and create the next steps as the current ones are happening. So I don't mind it a little bit, but she's right. Offering to help is amazing.

"And pivot to a virtual event. Hi, everyone. I just wanted to pop in and talk to yesterday's decision as far as changing the format and all the things that led to going virtual and things like that. So it really does start with a couple of years ago right after the Arizona event, which people seem to love. That was during COVID, and that was a pretty big financial struggle to get sponsors for that, but we did, and you know, at the last minute, a big one pulled out. And I lost a ton of my own money to be transparent. It was $30,000 that I had to pull from our savings account in order to have the event go live last year. Mer two years ago. You know, that was difficult, but then after the event the event went well and everyone was happy and it was beautiful and the venue was beautiful and then a month or so later I went to go see with my team another hotel, which was close to me. It was in Washington D.C. was the MGM Grand. It was beautiful. You know, even though I wasn't ready to take that kind of loss again, my event planner and the sales manager and I thought it would be a nice place to have the next one. It was just as beautiful but not in the West Coast. We wanted to do something on the east coast. Thank you, Brie. And so we, you know, I signed the contract. I knew how much the hotel rooms were, but I thought, you know, we discussed it and thought that this event would be more of a half retreat half conference type of thing. And so I signed the contract and then on the way home, we were talking with a team, and we were talking a little bit about budget and how much we were going to charge tickets for, and I was told, well, we have to charge $700 a ticket in order to break even.

"Nasty. It's so good. It is. One reason is because I'm developing more of a tolerance for good heat here in my 50s because I've generally avoided heat, but it depends on the kind of heat Cayenne heat, which is the heat that is generally made for the hot chicken is one that kind of burns me more than is satisfying to me. I gotcha. And trust me, it's fried chicken is one of the reasons I am so out of shape. But hot chicken is even worse because they dunk it in hot oil after they fried it. And just sort of shake it out. So it is doubly bad for you. Yeah, the thing about researching this chuck is I was like, there's so much good fried chicken to eat. I know. That if you just selective, if you're just choosy. And you just go to some place like princes, where you just go to like the best Korean fried chicken place in your town. Or you just build a time machine and go back and eat some of opal Bryant's fried chicken. Like you're not gonna be able to eat it all that often. It'll become a delicacy, which I think it should be treated as, because it is really, really bad for you, if it's done right. And then if it's done in any kind of way that's approaching healthy, it's not being done right. And it's probably not that good. So yeah, it's really bad for you, but I think if you just treat anything in moderation like that, you can have it and enjoy it. That's my problem. What moderation for fried chicken? I know. I treat it as a regular, just like this is just what you eat. I was raised on fried chicken. I love it so much. But I do, I do need to and in theory you would enjoy it more and be like, hey, I haven't had my fried chicken for the month. And I'm really savor it and enjoy it. You don't even have to do it like that. You could just be like, I want fried chicken, but instead of like hopping on over to Kroger and getting it at the drop of a hat. If you make it so you have to drive to like a really good place, you'll have it less probably. I don't know how this ended up this episode ended up in the me giving you health advice. Because I'm not really the person you should be listening to about that, but here we are. Yeah, I know. It is what it is. I'm working on it. There you go. It is what it is, man. Pollo campero is something weighed in Guatemala. And now they have those in the United States. There's one of buford highway, and that is fried chicken with adobo rub, which is delicious. Yeah, by the way, chuck two things. I was such a dummy that when we went to Guatemala with coed, I thought, oh, the American chain has infiltrated Guatemala. There's pollo campero here. I didn't realize the opposite had happened. 'cause it's been, it was a round in Guatemala starting in 1971. And then secondly, I also want to direct people to our ongoing coed pledge drive to get to a million, you can go to cooperative for education dot org slash SYS K and donate. How about that? I love it. I just saw the opportunity and I jumped on it. I pounced on it. Yeah, take that 12 bucks that you would get for your third fried chicken meal of the week. Yeah, chuck and donate it to coed. Can we talk about that? Do you really? Wait, wait, do you really eat fried chicken three times a week? Well, it depends on what you're talking. I want to live your life, man. I mean, if you're talking about just like, you know, if you chicken fingers here and there, are you talking about like a full fried chicken fried chicken meal? Yeah, that's not three times a week. But even shooting chicken fingers, no, no, no, that's not the same thing. All right. Yeah. Fried chicken is now, that's not the same thing. Yeah, it's the bone that makes it unhealthy. Exactly. Eureka. We should talk about chicken and waffles because that is a great food combination. When it lives in LA, Roscoe's was a place that I would love to go and take people from out of town who hadn't had chicken and waffles yet. It's become kind of a sort of a trendy brunch thing, but it's been around for longer than I thought, right? Yeah, it's been around since at least the 30s with wells supper club in Harlem, introducing a lot of the world to it. But I think it's going back even further than that. But the question of whether it's southern or not seems to be at issue. And if you ask a lot of southerners, they'll be like, no, this is not a southern dish, but they think that black migrants from the south showing up in New York and LA were the ones that developed it. So it's still got a link to the south. It's just not necessarily a southern dish. Yeah. Did you ever eat at Gladys Knight's House of chicken and waffles? No, 'cause I was living away at the time when it was open. It was up until 2017. Oh, in Atlanta. I thought it went away before that. No, it was open till then I looked it up because I wanted to make sure I remembered correctly that wasn't there anymore, and it's not unfortunate. I missed out. Sorry, Gladys. Okay. It's amazing. She had such a great singing voice when she spoke like that. Well, she was saving her voice for singing. And I hate that go off track again, but since we mentioned her, I do need to mention that my favorite backing vocals of all time was the pips on midnight train to Georgia. Really, that if you just listen to the background singers and that song, just gorgeous, beautiful. Another thing you can do is go listen to David Lee Roth singing without the music. That's really something to listen to as well. Yeah, those are good. Or any music video without the music is always fun too. Yeah. And especially when you can hear their shoes squeaking and everything. The sneakers. So chuck, if you were alive and on social media in 2021, 2019 to 2021, there is basically no way you weren't aware of what's come to be known as the chicken sandwich wars. Yeah, it was a big deal. There's a gentleman named truett Cathy, who founded a restaurant called Chick-fil-A, and claimed to be the first maker of the chicken sandwich in the 1960s. We have literal proof that what he really meant to say was I'm the first white man to sell chicken sandwiches in a restaurant. Because there had been chicken sandwiches going back to the 1930s in places like Topeka Kansas in ebony magazine. They were, they were talking about the dish. So it's been around for a long time. True of Kathy did not invent the chicken sandwich, and they need to stop saying that. But I don't think they're going to stop seeing that at any time too. But Chick-fil-A is very famous for their chicken fried chicken sandwich with the butter bun with pickles and it's very good. So all of the, all of the other fast food joints I think, beginning with Popeye said, wait a minute, like some of us are selling chicken sandwiches, but we should kind of just do what they're doing and the chicken

"Choose just love it all. Yeah, I mean, they're not that different. It's still crunchy fried chicken, but in Korea they double fry it. Right. So they fry it. Well, they fry it once, and then they fry it again. So it's going to be not twice, but it's going to be extra crunchy. And then they have a they're known for this sticky spicy glaze that's on it. So like Korean sticky fried chicken is really, really great. I love it. It's one of my favorite preparations. A lot of people think that when American troops were stationed there, after the end of the Korean War, they may have introduced locals there, and then they built on that on their own to sort of make it their own. Which actually that might be true because apparently prior to American occupation they would steam their chicken. That's how they prepared it typically. Oh, really? Mmm um. Which is the opposite of crunchy. Really is. That's for symbolism. Yeah, I don't know. I was wondering that too, 'cause I knew the steam part was coming back when we were talking about boiled chicken and I wondered which is worse. I think boiled is still worse. Yeah, I'm like, when your dog has an upset tummy, you give them boiled chicken. Oh, I hadn't thought about that. And white rice chicken can be good. If you're making chicken salad. Oh, all right. Yeah. I just forgot I forgot about that. I was just thinking of like throwing like whole chicken breasts and bones and everything in a pot and boiling it. That sounds awful. Yeah, I mean, none of it is very appealing to me after you've had fried chicken that crispy Brown goodness that Korea is so good at. I think in the 90 7 Asian financial crisis, a lot of people went into business for themselves, opened up their own little mom and pops chicken. And a beer and fried chicken is a very famous combo in South Korea. Great combo and America too. Yeah. And I think now there was a study in 2019 that found there were 87,000 fried chicken restaurants in South Korea. Wow. And that's three and a half times the number of Kentucky fried chickens in the entire world. Wow. Yeah, South Koreans love their fried chicken. But what's interesting is that another survey found that they don't actually consider it to be a Korean dish, even though they put such a spin on it that everyone outside of the world considers that particular kind of fried chicken Korean fried chicken apparently in Korea, South Korea, I should say they don't consider that. No word on what North Korea thinks about it. There are some chains from Korea that are open now in America. One of which I haven't tried yet, but there is one in Atlanta just have to drive a bit. There's one called bonchon. Oh yeah. I think it's in Fayetteville, which is south of Atlanta. Somebody didn't do their market research first. And then there's one called mom's touch, chicken, which is just now arriving in America. And I think we should take our last break now, yay. Okay. Sure, yay. And we'll talk about some more variations on fried chicken because why not? All the way stopped you should know. This clip is brought to you by Coca-Cola. The holidays always find a way.

No, I went to the Stevie Nicks concert, but I had a great time. And I was like, Nashville just needs to be on my list because it's a drivable and it's fun weekend and they've got hot chicken. We have a year or two, but it originated there. Yeah, hot chickens everywhere now, but yeah, there is a guy named Thornton prince the third who in 1945 opened prince's barbecue chicken shack. I think they call it prince's hot chicken shack now. I believe. But essentially, every version of hot chicken that is out, everywhere from KFC to Dave's hot chicken to all the little hot chicken operations that are just going crazy. And for good reason. Hot chicken is really, really good. It all started in Hadley park neighborhood of Nashville thanks to Thornton prince the third. Yeah, I don't love hot chicken. Oh, I love it, man. It's so greasy,

"Fun and funny and all that, but my favorite Instagram accounts. Some of the interviews that I'm seeing of him now, one of them was posted by Amy sedaris where he's talking about how he wanted to live a life of service because you know taking care of other people like brings you out of yourself and he was just this great guy. And if you aren't familiar with him, go look up his Instagram account. And I didn't realize it at the time, but now I do that the world like really lost somebody special. So RIP, Leslie Jordan. Yeah, I had seen him on Will & Grace and other stuff like that. But his Instagram account is where I just fell in love with the guy. Yeah, for sure. Hey, hunker downers. He was great, and I was very, very sad to learn about that because I was just like I was watching him on Instagram like the day before. Oh yeah. Putin thing? Dave hill, well, I saw that too, and the other tribute is very good to read is mega malays. It doesn't post on Instagram much, but hers was very, very sweet and sad. Yeah. I will check that out. All right. Back to the colonel, yeah? Sure. He sold the brand in 1964 for imagine a boatload of money. And now it's a part of Yum Brands, one of those humongous nebulous sort of food corporations that owns lots of fast food restaurants. And it went from Kentucky fried chicken officially to KFC in 91, apparently because the state of Kentucky said, you know what? There's a lot of brands using our name. Why don't we trademark the name Kentucky so we can make a little money off this and so KFC said, we'll just go by KFC then. Yep. So which is hilarious that Kentucky did that. I wonder how much money they made from it. I don't know. Or I wonder if all the brands just said, all right, we're just K, whatever. Right. It really harmed though Kentucky black powder and musket ink. I think the hardest. At any rate. I saw that when Colonel Sanders sold Kentucky fried chicken in 1964, he immediately started trash talking it. For an open his own restaurant, they moved to block him from doing that. He sued them for like a $100 million. They gave him like a $1 million and let him open the restaurant in exchange for him to stop talking trash about KFC from that point on. Yeah, he was quite a character. And also, I mean, the fact that he was considered a possible running mate for George Wallace, the pro segregationist presidential candidate, the fact that he was kind of like a throwback to the antebellum south with his ties in his accent and all that. Sure. A lot of people just presume he was racist. And when Papa John's had that scandal where Papa John himself used that racial slur, he tried to say like Colonel Sanders used to say that who cares and apparently Colonel Sanders family came out swinging. Oh really? And we're like, they called Papa John weasel and basically a scumbag and said like our grandfather, great grandfather, whoever, who did not use racial slurs, he attended black church sometimes. He was not, he was many things, but he was not a racist. So you shut your mouth, Papa John. And I guess it worked. Popeyes came along to rival KFC as probably. Yeah, we're talking about fried chicken. Popeyes was founded in Popeyes without an apostrophe, by the way, the joke was from founder Alvin Copeland senior he was so poor. He couldn't afford the apostrophe, which is a great joke. But that was a Louisiana chain opened in 1972 as chicken on the run. People were like, eh, it's really not so great. So he spiced it up a little bit and went to a more New Orleans style chicken. And changed it to Popeyes named after. The cartoon character? No. Named after Popeye Doyle, Gene Hackman's character in the French connection. Fact of the podcast. That's a weirdest fact I could ever imagine. I mean, that is a, that is a trivia question right there for sure. Oh yeah, 'cause you're setting people up because everyone's gonna say it's Popeyes because they're now using him as the logo, like Popeye, that Gene Hackman in this little bowler at or whatever. But you'd have to word it just so because you'd spook some people and be like, what? That's too easy a question. What's really here? You'd have to word it just right. But yeah, Copeland was a character as well. I didn't read that he was handsy or anything like that. He raced speedboats. He loves spending money. He was a profligate spender and he was not at all ashamed or embarrassed about it. And one of the things he was well known for in New Orleans was his Christmas displays outside his home. And they were so elaborate, they drew so many people that like sheriff's deputies had to direct traffic in the area around it because people would just park and stop and go look at them. So he was that kind of guy. And I mean, there's a special place in the universe for people who spend freely on Christmas decorations outside of their house, so much so that it attracts like local townsfolk who come and get the Christmas spirit from that kind of thing. I think those are special kind of people. Agreed. I love it. Popeyes was eventually bought out. Again, by one of these conglomerates called restaurant brands international. Really great creative name there. And there are KFCs all over the world. There are KFC knockoffs all over the world. I know the SFC and Iran superstar fried chicken. And PFC perfect fried chicken in London, which I looked up to see how closely they were ripping them off and the PFC, the font is definitely the same font. But the logos and stuff look different. Okay. Colonel Sanders has blond hair. Right. Yeah, exactly. Speaking of Colonel Sanders appearance, apparently KFC's most profitable nation is China. The good time. Yes, the people in China since 1987 have gone Berserk for Kentucky fried chicken. Again, it's more profitable in China than in the U.S.. The offerings are a little bit different. There is fried chicken, but it's not the most popular menu item. They have regional dishes as well. And I think those are a little more popular. But one of the reasons I saw floated for why Kentucky fried chicken is so popular in China is that Colonel Sanders vaguely resembles Confucius and that there's like an affinity for him, man. Oh, wow. It is double, it's the biggest most popular fast food in China, double the size of McDonald's. As far as number of stores, and I think when they were first built in the 80s, it was a little bit of a luxurious thing where there was more room, the restaurants were really clean. And it was sort of contrasted with street vendor food as a place where you can go and take your family that's a little nicer. Gotcha. And I did look up the menu items. They sell congee and egg tarts. There's something called a dragon twister, which I really, there's a cool article where this food writer went there in ate a bunch of stuff and wrote about it. But the dragon twister sort of looks like, you know when they'll take Peking duck and wrap it in like a thin pancake, almost like a roll. With cucumber and spring onion and stuff. That's what the dragon twister is, except it's, it looks like a chicken, not finger. Yeah, like a chicken finger. Right, it's a chicken finger wrapped in a chicken breast. That's what I'm guessing. But it does have the sweet bean sauce and cucumber and spring onion. It looks really good. I want one of those. If we have any listeners in China, please mail us a corner. Just drop ship it. And then also in Japan, KFC is huge, not as huge as it is in China, but it's become a national Christmas tradition. KFC is the traditional Christmas dinner in Japan. I think you told me that before, I love that. Yeah, I think it was in a Christmas episode once. Yeah, that's good stuff. And then Korea, I believe they do not have well, they do have KFC, but they took the KFC methods and turned it into something else, which is Korean fried chicken, which apparently, if you, if you like fried chicken, you're going to like Korean fried chicken. And there's no reason you have to choose. You can like them both because they're so wildly different, that there's no reason to

That's the name of it. It's a great name. Stuxnet. With an X all right, so fried chicken, well, let's talk about chicken in general. It wasn't really on the menu of every American who eats meat like it is today. Chicken was a distant third to pork and beef for most of our history, actually. There are some stats here, the national chicken council, which is pretty fun. In 1960, Americans ate 28 pounds of chicken per CAPiTA. And just a few years ago in 2019, that number was at 97 pounds. Whereas red meat went from one 33 to one 12. So, you know, there's been a big shift in or a shift in the kinds of meats that Americans eat. And chicken farming wasn't as big as beef and pig farming for a long, long time. It was sort of a mom and pop thing until they realized that people really love chicken and we can fortify them with antibiotics and we can get those breast unnaturally plump. And build these huge barns to raise them in. And basically like, hey, we can factory from chickens just like we can, cows and pigs. Yeah, so that really boosted chicken consumption. And by the way, that 97 pounds of chicken that Americans ate in 2019, I think it equaled about 11 billion birds. Wow. So the other thing that happened in addition to cheap, widely available chicken, or new cooking techniques, and the big cooking technique that really turned fried chicken from something that took up to 20 minutes to cook correctly. To something that you could sell as fast food was just using pressure cookers. So they would fry the chicken in a pressure cooker and still people still do it today. And the pressure would change, it would lower the boiling point of the oil, so the oil could get hotter and the chicken would cook faster. And if you did it right, if you breaded it right, if you use the right kind of breading, if you did brine your chicken and all that first, then you could cook this stuff really fast and it would come out really good. Yeah, so now Colonel Sanders comes into the picture. You can't talk about fried chicken without talking about harland Sanders. And he got sort of a late start as far as his chicken business goes. At the age of 40 was when he started serving chicken in front of the service station he owned in Corbin, Kentucky, then opened up a cafe, Sanders cafe across the street. Serving that skillet fried chicken that I love so much. And then 1939, so I guess he was 49 years old. He finally develops this secret 11 herbs and spice recipe. Cooking in the pressure cooker, the governor gave him his fake kernel ship. He was not an army man, the colonel ship was bestowed upon him in an honorary fashion by the governor of Kentucky. And that's when he started dressing up like old connell Sanders in his white suit and his bolo tie and his little white goatee. And a character was all of a sudden born. He became more than a man. I read a little bit about him. Apparently he had a he was known for two things, had a really, really, really, really foul mouth. Yeah. And was a bit handsy, shall we say? Oh, really? Yeah. They described him as having insatiable sexual appetite and because it was the 1930s and 40s would kind of come into a room and just be like, hey, hey, who can I grab onto? Wow. Did not know that part. Yeah, that was the legend. I have a Colonel Sanders story. Oh, let's hear it. I was driving down the road one day. South metro Atlanta, and I was driving alongside a Buick and the Buick had a vanity license plate, which ties into our license plate episode, by the way. And it said, KFC, COL. And in the back, I never know what that thing's called, but the back panel behind the back seat between that and the window, whatever that, like, the rear dashboard, I guess. There was a kernel Sanders bobblehead. You know, they pulled up closer and closer to the driver. I realized I was looking at the man who played Colonel Sanders throughout the 80s and 90s. And I swear to God was wearing a white suit and a black string tie and he was driving down the road in the 21st century in America. Yeah, I think it's at bolo tights that string tie. It's a little different. Okay. Close enough. But he was the TV actor.

"My favorite food. This is, I don't blame you, chuck like I love fried chicken, but I love it even more after researching this. I've just got this whole must have attitude. And I think that brings up an important point that we should lead with, which is if you are vegan, you should probably skip this episode because you're not gonna be vegan by the end of it, I'll tell you that much. Yeah, you know, people ask the favorite food question. You get that a lot in your life. And I guess I sort of went back and forth over the years with different things, but it's fried chicken. It is fried chicken, full circle. Okay, well then I'm guessing something of an expert for Atlanta fried chicken, best fried chicken in Atlanta. Oh man. Sorry to put you on the spot. Do you want to come back to it at the end of the episode? Well, no, I was afraid you would ask me what my favorite of all time was or something. That's really hard because there's so many kind of small variations and I love fried chicken so much. I love so many different kinds. That I don't know that I could say that I've ever had at put down my fork and been like my fingers really. And said, this is hands down like the best fried chicken I've ever had. I've said this is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had a lot. But I will say this and it is a little controversial if you live in the south to take a grocery store allegiance like this, but public is known for their fried chicken. I don't like it. I like it. I like Kroger's fried chicken better. Much better. I've never had Kroger's fried chicken, but I don't like public fried chicken either. It's not good. It's too bready for me, and I don't know if it's my local Publix, but it always tastes like it's like the oil is old. Acrid. Yeah, man. It's just doesn't do it. I love Kroger's fried chicken. I'm a big fan of minimal breading, let that chicken skin shine. And sort of a dry fry is more my jam. Gotcha. Gotcha. I have had the experience of putting my fork down actually my fingers down. And saying like that was the best fried chicken I've ever had. Let's hear it. Remember that restaurant in Decatur watershed? Oh, sure. So the head chef was Scott peacock and he and his mentor Edna Lewis came up with this fried chicken recipe that they used to serve it at watershed. Very famous. I mean, I've never had anything even approaching it. And I've had really good fried chicken too. I would say second is probably colonnade over on Cheshire bridge. Really good. But it was just an entirely different level. And you can find the recipe online really easily and it's pretty, it's pretty hashtag basic, but something about it all comes together and makes it just astoundingly good. It's so good. Yeah. It's so good, chuck. I think Emily sailors from indigo girls was co owner or owner of watershed for a while. It may still be. I don't know. No, she sold it. I think. Yeah. And they moved in Scott peacock moved on and everything. It was like The Beatles for a second. I am also going to caveat this and shout out my grandmother Bryant. Opal Bryant's fried chicken was really my favorite. I haven't had it, you know, she died at the age of a hundred and one. About 8 years ago, but she hadn't been cooking for a while either. So it's been since I was probably in my 20s since I had opals. And hers was and I'm a big fan of this preparation, not deep fried or pressure fried, but skillet fried. Which is when you have a cast iron skillet. And you're flipping the chicken. You're letting it fry and flipping the chicken because it's not completely covered in oil. And she also used just whatever grease was in the big jar on her stove top. She would just throw all the grease in there from everything she ever cooked. Oh man, a little bit. It was hard. Congeal into this jar of goodness. So she would just kind of just slop whatever that was. So it's probably some bacon grease in there. Not probably most definitely. Country ham stuff. That was all kinds of meaty congealed fat in there. Yeah. Sounds good. Put her stuff was so good. So yeah, so we're talking fried chicken. We could just keep doing this if you want. I know. We should start a food show maybe when we eventually retire. If we start a food show we're naming it opal Bryant's fried chicken. Okay. All right, great. Okay. Or if we ever open a restaurant. Okay. This will be the name. Let's talk. So yeah, we'll do a food show some time. And this will be one of those things where we can be like, and our fried chicken episode that we did years back was really good too. This is going to be like that kind of episode. So we're talking fried chicken. And it's one of those things where everyone associates the dish with the American south. And for good reason, that's kind of where it caught its, it was established in the way that we understand it today, which is from what I can tell. Bone in chicken pieces, breaded, and fried in oil. And that is fried chicken. That's American southern American fried chicken. That's what purists will tell you. Anything different is not technically fried chicken. But the American south is kind of where it got its start. But it dates back even further than that. And even weirder, it seems like it might have come from a specific place in Europe originally too. Yeah, Scotland. Yeah. If you can believe that, there are appearances. I mean, people would be being people have been eating chickens for a long time. You can find recipes in books from the 18th century for fried chicken. Those one in 1736, there was one in 1747, where it's clearly dipped in flour, fried in some kind of lard, but it seemed like the Scots are the ones who started frying it. And I looked up this up in a lot of places and kind of saw the same thing. You know, the Brits didn't really care that much about eating things that taste good. So they would boil or bake their chicken, a big chicken can be good, but boiled chicken can never be good. And the Scott said, no, we'll fry it. And so they started frying it up in lard and were really onto something as it turned out. Yeah, and the reason why at least one food historian is this is their theory, but the reason why it kind of has legs is that a lot of the Scots and Irish colonists who came to the United States, they owned slaves, enslaved people, and they think that the Scots taught their slaves to cook this for them, and that's where the origination of black American southerners, having this being the place where fried chicken originated. That's where they think that it probably came from. Scotland. Yeah, and I mean, I think what we can say for sure is that's where it was perfected. We're these enslaved women, they spiced it in such a way because Scotland and the UK. They're not known for their for their, they're doing much better now. But they weren't known for the most flavorful spiced foods. So even though they were frying chicken, it was known as a little more bland until they got to the American south and these women started spicing it right. And that's where it became this really, really scrumptious and delicious food that we know today. Brought over from Scotland, but perfected in the American south. Yeah, I think the theory, the other theory that was long held is that it was brought over by West African slaves to America. But I think people have done investigations around West Africa, and there isn't a fried chicken dish that they would fry their chicken lightly over there, but then they would braise it for the rest of the time. And I think the Brits would do that too. Not the same. You know, it isn't the same. So they actually do think it kind of came from Scotland, but yes, perfected by enslaved cook women in the American south. And there's mentions of it too. I think dating back to the 17th century. So it is an all American dish

It causes more bacteria spread to wash the chicken in the kitchen. Yes. Yes. Then to just cook the chicken and you burn off all the yak. Some people wash it. Some people soak it in lime and salt. It just depends. I think it's just, I think, for me, it depends on what type of chicken. Thank you. I'm not going to wash a cutlet, but I'm going to wash a whole chicken. Okay, but if I take a cutlet out and if there's a lot of juice on it sometimes it will stop. Anything juicy is getting rinsed. Right. That's what it is. But I'm not going to grill owing it. Right.

"Chicken accessories right now? Well, I have to tell you that I tried the chicken diapers on kip right when she was young because obviously she was like, she's living in my house and I have carpets and everything along those lines. But she hates having things on her. And I've talked to a lot of people who kind of make these things and they're like, no, no, no, you have to let them suffer through it. But I can't let my birds suffer through it because she just looks so dejected and she walks around and then falls over and then pecks her feathers out 'cause she's trying to get this thing off of her. And I was like, and I tried it multiple times and I was like, I can't do it. And so it kept me like really refuses to wear things, but I think that it's also part of each individual chicken's personality. There are some that will just sit on your lap and cuddle with you. There's others that are more high strong. There are some that are more aloof. It really, I think, depends on the chicken's personality, but kippy has gone to a number of my photo shoots and have obviously been in a number of photo shoots. I mean, she shot everything from like a bidet commercial to celestial seasonings tea. And it just is a byproduct of kind of being around me and me having to take her everywhere. And I just want to be clear that she is not my emotional support hen, but I do call myself the emotional support human for her because she has detachment issues. But we've worked on, we worked on that. And, you know, in order for me to get her into a coop, I slept in the coop for two nights just so that she could just acclimate and know that it's actually a safe place to sleep. And that made all the difference. And you know, I think when you're so connected to an animal, whether it's a hen or not, you understand kind of psychologically what they're going through and you want to be able to a swash, you know, their pain or anguish or anxiety and I think that by doing that and sacrificing two nights sleep for myself.

It's animal radio celebrating the connection with our pets and our chickens. Once again, it's the chicken. And we are with supermodel summer rain oaks, and summer has one very, very lucky pet chicken. Not without its problems, though. So your chicken has separation anxiety. Yeah, heavily so. And I had watched a ton of YouTube videos on dog separation anxiety, and I think that you just have to deal with it probably slightly differently. And yet some of the same ways as well. I talked to a lot of people who had hens who had imprinted on them and one person had said to me, oh, it took about a year for my one hand to separate from me and I was like, oh my God, I don't have another year where I have to carry a chicken around my neck every. I only had left kippy alone for two hours for like a whole year. And I think it goes to show you that like chickens, you know, our social creatures and it's part of the reason why they live in flocks and all this other kind of stuff. But they do make such great companions. I think for that reason, is that you share a little bit of this sociality with the hen and they are definitely much more attentive and connected than I would say even a cat, for instance. Yeah. Your apartment is full of what, 700 plants or so, and because you're into plants, you actually wrote a book called how to make a plant love you, cultivating your personal green space. That will be coming out actually. You could pre order it, but that will actually be coming out next year. But yeah, I'm working on a plant book and my last book was actually on cooking called sugar detox me to help people reduce their sugar intake. And the plant stuff has always just been how I live my life. I'm an environmental scientist and entomologist by training. And so living in the city and away from my country home, I grew up in the country, one of the ways that I've kind of been able to combat that is by bringing plants and doors, which was also a very challenging thing having kippy indoors because she liked to mow over quite a few of my plans. I have some videos of her and some of my plant Friends were like, oh my God. You know, be still my heart with, you know, the way that she kind of mows things over. So I have a lot of plants with notches out of them. I mean, she really destroyed my dip in bakia, which is something that is typically poisonous to humans and dogs and cats, but for whatever reason, it had no effect on my chicken. So, you know, I needed to remove a lot of my plants from the floor for fear of kippy eating them all. Do you have a significant other other than kippy? I do, yes. And does he or she get into the whole chicken thing? Or is there any jealousy? You know, he gets a little bit frustrated with it, particularly because her egg song. Now, if you're familiar with that, they have big song and it's not necessarily the most beautiful of songs, but I think it hits at a specific pitch or tone that really irritates him. So I have to be cautious around the time that she's about to lay an egg and it's not like as if she lays an egg every time at 7 a.m. or whatever. Sometimes it's a little bit later in the day. So it could be unpredictable as to when, you know, somebody should be home. Listening to the not so beautiful.

"Because you deserve what's right. Laura hit the music. Greg go all right. L z. this just happened about forty five seconds. Ago cody bellinger. Just hit a grand slam. Eleven to one in the first inning. Why is this a big deal or now oh out is a big deal. You also has six is in the inning. Damn south by himself. And mookie betts has two hits. Wow that's that's probably as one. What's what's the record for most runs in one in one inning. I can look at. It's twenty two most runs in the first sitting. Let's try that see. What do you think i'm gonna go. Seventeen seventeen most runs in the first inning. They actually tied the record. It is eleven. Actually they said that same one in the nfc game three win. It's eighteen for any inning for the first step. I would say that this is a somewhat big deal. Bellinger needs to get back and really really get back to who he was and the dodgers since this giant series this past weekend having losing having lost three out of four and then now you know split right now with with the cardinals and last night was a really spectacular finish. Because i'm sure you guys saw mookie. Betts hit this laser down the left field line and it was caught right at the wall. Man it was a spectacular catch by o'neill and so you know they gotta get and back to who he was or who he really is because they're kind of fortunate right now. The dodgers are because the team chasing or the team. They're battling with the padres. Also losing a bunch of games right now and san francisco's back on top. They need bellinger. Yeah look dude. I mean first of all he is a big part of what they do so to have him healthy and hitting the ball and hit out of the yard gain. Six rpm is in one anything to get him going and get them going in the right direction consistently i think is a big deal so all right. What's next greg onto the next one right Capital start with you damian. Lillard last night sets record for three pointers in a playoff game last night. With twelve passing klay thompson. Is this a big deal or no deal. So i'm gonna say it's no deal. It was a spectacular individual performance and it was a very very entertaining. Game that went deep into double overtime. But i gotta just say no deal because it's in a losing effort. Now i'm not putting it on damian lillard. It was a spectacular individual performance. In fact even late in the game you know. I was watching last night george. I was watching sports center. I saw you on sportscenter. Neil evert said you know he got tired you know. He passed the ball. He gassed. i would think so. You know i just thought to myself. What an individual performance. It's unfortunate that it comes in a loss. So i'm choosing to go no deal. I'm going to say big deal. Only for this reason. It was a historic performance. He is the only player in nba playoff history to score fifty five points and have tennis in a loss. The only player in nba history to have that happen. So i'm gonna say big deal just based on that although it is weird l. z and. I'm curious your thoughts on it that you know. He's so clutch and so big in the big moments. That losing doesn't stick to him. The only guy that i can think of that is reggie miller and this is a huge deal Not just because of individual performance but as an extension of an individual's legend when it's all said and done he's always going to be in the hall of fame and he may or may not enter the championship. Who knows but since the first year he was in his league. He's been that dude and time and time again and he keeps showing up as that. Do that doesn't mean that he doesn't put up stinkers he does but to georgia's points we don't remember the stinkers because a nights like last night so at an amazing and it's a shame that there are years in which he has the bag to be on the all star team is crazy and i beg to get anybody to play with them. You know what. I'm saying like his. Gm has done him no No you know. Done them a disservice. I think they can't get anybody to play there with those rain along portland it does sure. That's a factor. Perhaps son is good. L z the oakland a.'s. Organization has some explaining to do pictures surfaced of what they feed their minor league affiliate including a white bread sandwich with no protein. And we'll look to be like a slice of american cheese and another picture showed a taco with a barely filled tortilla chicken and some peppers right. And that was. It is a big deal or no deal. This is a huge deal man like we already knew that major league baseball was treating may minor league baseball players trash based upon the compensation so we already knew but i didn't think it was this. This is almost as bad as a wnba. In the bubble having broken down showers and stuff with the league booked them with or the women's remember the weight as the gem. Right like is that level bad. This is ridiculous when you have players in the majors who literally make more than your entire collection of players in the minors. Then that's a problem. Yeah as a problem and this is not even food man. I'll you know what the call this is. You know what this is this pickles and pineapples. That's what this is. It's pretty terrible. I mean i looked at it. And i thought i thought the coleslaw looks pretty good but i mean i was like you know what the oakland as are known for being one of the cheapest organizations and people don't look at it that way they go. No they're resourceful. They have found ways to win without spending money and in reality not taking care of your minor leaguers. The guys that are supposed to eventually be your major leaguers as a major problem and then getting outed on at all. I mean is really an ugly. Look and you're right. Els people don't really know the dirty little secret of how rough life can be in the minor leagues. Oh it's awful. It's awful especially juxtaposed get it. You're in the minors. You're you're working your way up you try but you shouldn't have to also need to be onlyfans. Page noted get to rent paid Come on did you dump it. No no i would say big deal because the whole thing is a mess in the point like just the whole minor league system needs to be redone and done in a better way all right last one. Go ahead greg onto the next one that we go to break here low. You have no more questions i know. I've i've three more questions but day. I mean you amazon has sodano. Amazon has denounced amazon prime day for twenty twenty one announced it. They've announced it. Business has has announced. It will be on june twenty first and june twenty second it lasts. Two days is amazon. Yeah big deal because we all love to shop and gorge. We're done here as you agree. Yes or no big deal. I scott now all right. We're done here. Excellent work l z. Want to do are excellent. Works got much. Love everybody. Greg and laura great job. We'll talk to you tomorrow. It was up every body. This is l z. Granderson here to tell you about my new podcast.

Kahane's i can tell you that right. Now yeah she saved her dogs by shoving a bear her garden wall now. This bear walks on like the wall of of her backyard and the bear also has her cubs with her so the dogs come running out. And so the bears clearly snapping at the dogs pawing at the dogs because she's also defending her cubs and the lady defends their dogs by going hands up and just pushing the damn bear off the ledge. And i'm like girl you crazy. I wouldn't know bear line crews but to me it's like yo- you gotta be a little nelson. I love dogs. I love my dog. And i saw video a couple of months ago.
