Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Weight Gain and African American Food Culture: Tony W. Reflects on His Journey
"So tell me about what happened when you really first realized that, you know, if your weight went up to 464, 381 when you got into BLE, I mean, you started, you were using food, you weighed a lot more than your body was supposed to weigh. So when did you really see that happening? Well, I first started putting on weight when I was a teenager. I worked at Baskin -Robbins and they allowed you to eat anything you wanted while you were working there, which was, you know, and I was smoking weed at the time. So, you know, put those together and guess what, you know, just like a balloon, I just, you know, and so, but it really was the whole fast food culture that we live in. That's the way I ate. And growing up, I should mention growing up, my mom was a great cook, but then we had five, I had four brothers and, you know, on Sundays, we had a big dinner after church and it was, you know, it's fried chicken, it's macaroni and cheese, collard greens, rolls. I mean, and my dad's plate would look like, you know, the Devil's Tower of Wyoming in Close Encounters, I mean, where they had that big, huge mound and that's where I learned, you know, that's what you do, you, you know, you just grub out, pig out and it's not frowned upon. But anyway, so I was able, as a child, I was able to, like you say, I was active and so I was able to keep my weight down. Once I became late teens, they really started to catch up to me. But it really wasn't until later on is when I was an adult that I really started to have a, you know, I started putting on serious, you know, hundreds of pounds overweight. Yeah, you're, I'll tell the listeners, you are an African American man and you've talked about the culture in the African American community around food, right? Right, right, absolutely. So you have so many fried foods and those kinds of things and it's really horrible when you think about it because the, and this is not just to African Americans, that other people have food in their cultures that are part of their, it's a part of your culture, it's a part of who you are and you're expected to partake in it and yet it's the thing that was killing me. It's the thing that was killing me. Talk about your health problems that happened when you were 464, 381. When you first began BLE, what kind of health problems did you have associated with the obesity? Well, for a number of years I was fine, you know, and then I remember I was at a concert and I had to keep going to the bathroom and I was really thirsty and I knew what that meant because my mom had diabetes and so that was really the first time I had any kind of health problem and then it kind of spiraled and this is this is at my highest weight around about 464 pounds and so I started to have neuropathy in my feet. I started to have, you know, the joint pain high cholesterol, you know, the shot. It was just everything. It was just a big spiral. Then I started to have hernias. I had five hernia surgeries in one year. I mean, I was contemplating the gastric bypass at one point but I opted not to do that, which I'm thankful for now, you know, but it really was a thing of me gradually gaining weight and then getting to the point where there were so many things that I saw were going to happen that if I didn't take some action and then a friend of mine, a friend of mine who was younger than me and weighed less than me had a stroke and I saw then I had a moment of clarity then that's going to be me.

"You have five five kids Two three live with you and two are in the state over Yes, so what what happened with your first wife with? However that fell out Well, we moved to North Dakota. I grew up in a place called Ontario, Oregon. Yep, and Ontario is Well when I was growing up it had about Three to four thousand people maybe oh wow, and they had the number one violent crime and drug use stats in the state of Oregon The way it was explained to me by the police was if Ontario was the size of Portland There would be three times the violent crime that Portland sees she's It is bad. My sister was shot in the back when we were kids. I had friends get stabbed My buddy Sean had to carry his intestines to the hospital because he got a stomach laid open. That is crazy I never would think that yeah, same and people don't talk about it because like you don't hear about it on the news and right because it that shit happens in small towns all the time and It's just so unheard of that most of the time. They don't tell people outside of the town Wow for a long time Ontario was just Still is to a certain extent. It's just a really garbage place to be with all the drug use and So many my friends OD'd and so many people I knew got I had a buddy that I've known since we were both like infants and He ended up getting HIV from chair needles. He got really bad into heroin and stuff like that. It was just It was everywhere. So we decided to leave she had some family up in North Dakota. So we went to Minot, North Dakota and I was working. It's About an hour from the Canadian border and it's freakishly cold there and it's expensive to live and so I was working all the time, I mean When everything fell apart, I was doing 16 16s with four days off in between And I've been a chef. I should probably start there. I've spent my professional career as a chef Oh nice since I was about 16, and um, so I was cooking all the time always at work and I don't know something gave my wife decided to start talking to a guy from back home and Of course, I wasn't aware of it her sister had a kid and she decided that Her and my sons were gonna go back here to Oregon to meet her new niece so they could meet their cousin and everything I thought that was a wonderful idea. I'm working all the time anyway, so that'd be great little thing for them to do So I paid for the Amtrak tickets and I got him on the train and got him back over here to Oregon so she could go to her sister's and then About three days into that I woke up to a text message and I was apparently getting a divorce No and I'm like you you took my kids halfway across the country to leave me and Like then I didn't hear anything from her for like a week. So she already had it planned out. I'm up Yeah, and I'm up there with her family. Wow, so I got nothing and um So I tried to get a hold of my mom because that's where she was supposed to be staying at I tried to get a hold of her sister and she was telling her sister that she was staying at my mom's house and telling My mom that she was staying at her sister's house And she had my kids over at this dude's house who I find out when I figured out who it was, he was a childhood friend of mine and Yeah, it was I Couldn't focus on my work. Of course tried really hard I tried really hard to just do my job and I thought you know I can Logic my way out of this. Yeah I was burning myself on the grill. I was messing up orders that I never messed up before and So I told my boss like look I'm not here man. I'm just not I'm not here. So there's no point in me being here I told her what was going on and To the credit of the company. I won't mention their name, but they are the largest restaurant group on the face of the planet She told me to go and try to fix my marriage And so I was able to leave they held my job for me for five months That's really good, especially because me and my wife own two restaurants back here, but to have a big big company like that Care about their employees like the way they do. I mean to hold your job for five months as especially a chef. That's great Yeah, I never would have seen it coming. I like it was amazing and then what it came down to was chase the money or be close to my kids and in the moment I Couldn't see a better option than being as close to my kids as possible. So I never ended up going back. Yep, and You know to my detriment or maybe not it's a matter of perspective I suppose but um, I Know that if I'd gone back, I wouldn't have my later three children. So I'm happy that I didn't and so she kept my kids from me and The whole parental alienation thing in the state of Oregon You don't have to verify that you served anybody any kind of paperwork in terms of divorce and stuff like that All you have to do is have a third party say that they did it No friend of hers. Sorry. Yeah she had a friend of her say that I was served paperwork, which I never got and So she went to court and took my kids and I never knew there was anything so of course Right, right because you didn't even know that there was a court case or anything like that Jesus yeah, so I moved from Ontario to the next Decent town over where I currently have lived for the last like six or seven years Got a new job and found out I was already $1 ,500 in the hole on child support on the back or Well, yeah, cuz like right I didn't know that I had for child support or that I lost custody of my kids or anything Yeah, and then the state throws all this at me and I'm like, how is this possible and they say Well, you got paperwork you you got paper and I was like, no I didn't I never got anything and they're like Well, she did this and this and had one of her friends say that I mean they gave me all the information to explain What happened? Yeah Well, I can't prove that she's lying. So there's just nothing to be done I have to come up with the money for a lawyer and go back to court and pay for And by the time I Was in any position financially or in terms of stability to do that Years had gone by

Master Customer-Centric Copywriting - burst 5
"But even you do it once a week, commit and create your content calendar as many weeks ahead of time as possible. I work in batches for my own personal brand. I do that every quarter. I have one day when I just create content for my email. And another really good workaround for this is to create an automation, especially for people who are just signing up to your email list, which leads me to the second big mistake. So many brands focused on getting the sign up, getting that email address. And then nothing really happens after that, which is kind of a missed opportunity because I think it's like the first 48 hours when somebody just join your email list. They are most likely to work with you. They are interested in what you have to say. And they're just kind of waiting to be guided. So having or not having a welcome sequence. That's another big mistake I see people making. Boy, that's OK. So talk to me about that. What would a welcoming sequence look like? OK, so you need to think about your buyer's journey, right? So I have a problem. Let's say I want to lose weight and I am interested in a solution that gives me what I want, which is probably losing weight fast, but in a healthy way. And I go to Google or I scroll Facebook and I see your ad or I see your page on Google and it's promising. And I go to your website and I learn, I read your blog posts. And then there is a pop up or an opt in opportunity which says, hey, do you want to learn how to lose seven pounds in 30 days? Sign up here to get all my healthy weight loss recipes. You're never going to be hungry again or something like that. So I get that. Right. And my curiosity and my problem is satisfied to some extent. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be ready to buy something from you immediately. And it also doesn't mean that I'm going to be a loyal fan because you haven't done really anything beyond just satisfying my initial problem, which was the curiosity. How do I lose weight in a healthy way and maybe not be hungry? So most people, they just deliver that lead magnet, that freebie, and that's kind of it. Nothing else happens. The welcome sequence continues the journey. And you can continue that journey without being salesy, but by being customer centric. And there's plenty of strategies like what you should write in each email. Some people have three emails, five emails, seven emails. These are all automated, so they're not sent manually. And you can send them day after day or one each two days. It kind of depends on how fast it takes for someone to convert from email subscriber to first time customer. But in the beginning, if you don't have that data, you can just test it and test it with the frequency you're comfortable with. And that welcome sequence is like, hey, hi, so I see you. You've just signed up for this list of recipes, which is amazing. Congratulations on your commitment to finally get closer to your goal. But here's the thing. We've had one million people who got that PDF. And unfortunately, only a small percentage of them are actually using it, which is why over the next few days, we're going to share a few tips and we're going to walk you through some success stories for some of the people who have lost weight using our method. Make sure to open your next email. We're going to tell you more about tomorrow. And you can share valuable content like here are our most popular three videos that talk about this. Go watch them now. Another one could be like, tell me more about you. So what do you do? That's for segmentation and collecting customer information. Another email could be sharing success stories like here's what other people are doing right now. I know you've just signed up for this and you've maybe maybe you've already cooked one of those recipes.

Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from Mindful Gifting for Caregivers and Dementia Navigators
"Remember the joy of unwrapping a thoughtful gift that was just the right fit for you? Well, being a caregiver doesn't diminish that need, it just changes it. Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, who brings with her an array of gift giving ideas for caregivers and those living with dementia. Our conversation zigzags through a spectrum of unique gifts, focusing on both physical items and shared experiences. Welcome to Fading Memories, a podcast for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. I'm your host, Jennifer Fink. My mom had Alzheimer's for 20 years, and when I went looking for answers, I had to start a podcast to find them. Join me as we navigate the challenges of dementia caregiving together. This podcast is your beacon of support and empowerment. Let's share our experiences, find solace, and discover the strength within us. Get ready to embark on a transformative caregiving journey with Fading Memories. If you're looking for additional advice, be sure to sign up for our weekly email newsletter. It's brief, gives you great advice, you can read it in less than five minutes, and you know where to find the link. It's in the website, on the show notes. We're working on subscriber -only information and specials, so you're not going to want to miss out. When I learned that despite eating as healthy as possible, we can still have undernourished brains, I was frustrated. Learning about neuro reserves, Relev8, and how it's formulated to fix this problem convinced me to give them a try. Now I know many of you are skeptical, as was I. However, I know it's working because of one simple change. My sweet tooth is gone. I didn't expect that, and it's not something other users have commented on, but here's some truth. My brain always wanted something sweet. Now fruit usually did the trick, but not always. One bad night's sleep would fire up my sugar cravings so much they were almost impossible to ignore. You ever have your brain screaming for a donut? Well, for me, those days are gone. I believe in my results so much that I'm passing on my 15 % discount to you. Try it for two or three months and see if you have a miraculous sweet tooth cure, or maybe just better focus and clarity. It's definitely worth a try. Now on with our show. Hello, hello, you guys are gonna love today because we're talking about gifts and gift giving for people with dementia. And it's a perfect day to discuss that because today is my daughter's birthday. So I would wish her a happy birthday, but she's not a listener. So what I will do is thank Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast for coming on and sharing her gift guide and her knowledge. So thanks for joining us today, Elizabeth. Thank you for having me, I'm excited to be here. Awesome, I know we haven't done one together. I was on your show a while ago, but you haven't been online. Yes, vice versa. Yes, I love Fading Memories and I love that it's part of the whole care network. Definitely, so. We're all part of the same family. So you've been podcasting for six years as well, right? Yep, I'm in my sixth season. I launched in November's National Family Caregivers Month. So happy National Family Caregivers Month, everybody. And that was a launch. I try to do some kind of special every year, but I think I don't really have a launch this year. Just keep on keeping on. I've been really focusing on the speaking part of my business and really trying to get out there as far as reaching different companies and organizations to scale the caregiving support. Yes, it's definitely something we need. So where should we start? Do you wanna start with gifts for caregivers or gifts for people living with dementia? Let's, I mean, I'm always one to put the caregivers first. So like - Sounds like a plan. Yeah, so I think when it comes to buying gifts for caregivers, anything is probably going to be appreciated, right? We're just so grateful that somebody has been thinking about us and has us top of mind. But there's a lot of different things you can do, I think, for a family caregiver. And of course I also like self -care focused ones because not only are you giving them a gift, but you're giving them a tool of something that can help them mitigate burnout. So anything from like stuff that they would use like every day, we just had this in the fall, we have a sister's weekend and we do this favorite things party. Have you ever heard of that? Where we decided we were gonna each bring three things. We were gonna be $25 or less. This might be a great idea for someone to do as a swap exchange for their book club or their caregiver support group or whatnot. But I brought three of the same things. We kind of presented them, they're not wraps. But I got a lot of good ideas there this year for things like we had the things to clean our glasses, which would be a good thing for, they're called peeps. They're good for caregivers and for care recipients. Anybody who's wearing sunglasses even because they get grody, right? Very practical gift constantly. And then we had things like I'm wearing it now, actually. I love this Maybelline Lifter Gloss. It's affordable, it tastes good. Not that you're eating it, but you're gonna get some in your mouth on something. Smells good, it stays on decent. So I had brought that as part of mine. And then there was some cool body scrubs and lotions from, I think it was called La La Licious. So I think anything that can help us, oh, a boom stick was another one. It was like stuff that, this would be a very handy little makeup tool for a caregiver because you can put some quick color on your face, you can use it on your lips. Like it's one of those try it anywhere type of things. That's something you could like throw in your purse or your bag and when you look in the mirror and go, oh, it kind of looks so painful. Emergency, emergency. Yeah, put it, throw it in your self care tote. So I think little things like that, everybody's got different budgets these days as far as stuff that you can use. We did this, I do a Happy Healthy Caregiver virtual cafe is kind of every other month I do different kind of support where I wanna do some kind of a unique event for caregivers and introduce them to something. We had a Zentangle consultant come and teach us how to Zentangle. And it's basically like you're creating patterns. It's an abstract art, but it's very meditative. And she had given away as part of a prize this Sakura Zentangle artist tool set, it's like $20. But the thing with Zentangle is you use these little paper and you use like a micro tip pen. And so it's the little kit for that. And I like it because it's portable. You could throw it again in a self -care tote bag and pull it out just to kind of like, I need a mindful moment quick. Cause I'm a journaler, I love my journal of course, but I got that here too, the Just For You daily self -care journal, it's a prompted journal. And this is one form of meditation and doing that, but the Zentangle and an art journaling is another type of where it just gives you calm and peace. I can tell you, I felt very differently at the beginning of that session than I did at the end of the session. So something creative there. But I think too, when you're given a gift for anybody, whether it's a caregiver or care recipient, like just thinking about that person and what they naturally like and what they care about or what they maybe have mentioned to you in conversation could be something that would spark something. I was thinking, unless you know for sure they have a green thumb, don't give people a plant. They don't need something else to take care of. Yeah, I think as caregivers, right, we crave less things to take care of. The only exception I have to that would be the, I did get an AeroGarden one year, it's like for herbs. Right now I have basil, my basil is like taken off. And even if I can't use it in what I'm cooking, cause I'm not like this huge culinary chef, I learned this tip from another caregiver, Lisa Negro, where she said, she rubs it in her hands and smells the basil on her hands. I've been using it to freshen up my garbage disposal. Like I literally take some leaves off of it and put it in there to make it smell better. That's a really good idea. And I have a good idea cause I have the same issue. I have two pots with basil in it. I mentioned the other day, we needed to do a pasta dish with pesto. My husband was like, why? And he's like, oh, nevermind, I know why. Cause the plants are like big. It's pesto time. Yeah, it's like, and that's not something we normally eat a lot of anyway, cause you know, a lot of olive oil, it's not the healthiest sauce, but it is tasty. But I have been making basil mayonnaise and you basically just grind up, I think it's like half a cup of mayo and a third a cup of basil. I just do it to taste cause when I did it per the instructions, it needed a little more basil and I had a little more basil, so I threw it in there. And I am telling you, that is, that makes lunch just - Oh yeah, it's just like a little extra special and all you need is, you know, food processor or you know, maybe a blender, I don't have a blender. So I just use the food processor, grind it up and - Sounds yummy. It is really good and it's, you know, I throw just a touch of lemon juice in it just to kind of give it, you know, a little extra, what do they call it? Brightness, which that's a very strange culinary term, but yeah, it's delicious and it's, you know, you just plop in however much mayonnaise you need and then keep adding basil until it tastes the way you want it to taste, super easy. Never thought to use that. I think like little things like that, where you take something that people are doing all the time and you can maybe elevate it a little bit. So think about like, if someone's a tea drinker, you know, how could you make that special? Like, you know, tea, splurging on teas that they might not buy for themselves or the presentation of it and packaging it all together, maybe with some biscotti or something like that. Like it just like treat them, treat them to something spectacular. I also think anything pampering, like a massage gun or a silk pillowcase or a obviously nail appointment for their, you know, find out from their person where they go for those types of things and a gift certificate to that. I'm a big reader. So like reading is really fun for me, but sometimes, you know, there's lights now that you can get. I don't wanna hold a flashlight at night. I don't necessarily like reading a Kindle book all the time. So, but there's lights that you can light up and I can think of caregivers using that cause sometimes we're doing those things in very precocious types of places. What else would be good? I mean, any kind of activity that you can help encourage. I'm into pickleball recently. Have you tried to explore pickleball, Jennifer? No, there is a big pickleball teams in our community. I have very wacky vision. So I don't have depth perception. I have blazey eye and it wasn't corrected until I was four. So I could very, very much understand my mom's visual processing problems because I have similar ones myself. I don't realize, I know I don't have depth perception, but it's been this way my entire life. So, it's not abnormal for me, but I don't like balls getting hurled at me cause I'm ducking and I'm not trying to hit it back. I could probably play with the hubby, but you'd have to hit the ball gently towards me or else it's not gonna be very fun. Yeah, yeah. Well, I love it cause it's an accessible sport. It's definitely geared, it's for all ages, frankly, but something like that could be fun. Like, hey, let's, I think experiences are amazing. Let's take a pickleball lesson together. Let me take you on a hike. I got you this fun little hat and I looked up a hiking trail, something where you can really be someone's self -care cheerleader and have some kind of an experience together, a cooking class, a lesson of some sort where it's kind of a twofer, right? They're learning something and they're getting away from the caregiving world for a moment. And if you're looking for cooking classes, I did one through King Arthur Baking. It was called Pizza Perfected and it was on Zoom cause they're in freaking Vermont. So I'm not getting there anytime soon. Totally want to go, I use tons of their recipes, but yeah, it's like, I don't know how we got into just really, we really like to make our own pizza at home. We haven't done it for a while cause life, but it's not that hard, especially when somebody walks you through it and they sent you the video after, you know, like the next day. So you got to do it live and I think it was like 40 bucks. It wasn't expensive and it was at least two hours. And I have the video, it's saved in my Dropbox files and I can access it if, you know, cause there's some techniques that you don't necessarily know, you know, and I mean, just learning that technique was worth the 40 bucks, but it was a nice experience. So if you can't get out or, you know, I don't, I live in the Sierra foothills, so I don't live near things, even though I'm only an hour north of the state Capitol. It's like, there's some pros and cons to smaller air, quieter areas, depending on the day, sometimes the cons outweigh the pros, but yeah, there's, and I'm sure there's other places that do online cooking. I bet there are. And even, you know, maybe your person, your caregiver is not a person who enjoys cooking at all. And then, you know, I know for me, I used to dread the question as a sandwich generation working caregiver, like what's for dinner? And I'm like, oh, why do these people have to eat all the time? So something like that could be, you know, a subscription to like the green chef or some kind of prepared meals, or even like a Uber Eats or a DoorDash gift card for those, what are we gonna eat emergencies? I think all of that, I mean, just putting yourself in the mind of all the things, if you're a caregiver listening, like what you wish you had and what would have been helpful for you, having someone mow the lawn, like, or I'm gonna do your laundry this week. Like there's a lot of things too that even if you don't have a budget, like just showing up for someone else and doing something, taking something off of their plate would be amazing. Yeah, you could offer to help put up decorations for the holidays or you could offer to help do some deep spring cleaning, which the only reason that's coming to mind today is my golden retriever goes to the dog park regularly and the dog park has its own lake.

Fresh "Cook" from WTOP 24 Hour News
"Now those cuts include about a billion dollars some in reduction to the transportation department's operating budget. Two billion to the capital program and about four hundred million from grants that are given to local governments. The Maryland legislature could adjust the proposal when it gets back to work in January. The plan also calls for saving money by closing smaller MBA offices and office reducing hours at other MBA locations. Those proposed cuts would slow highway construction projects, reduce public transportation service, make parking at the airport more expensive. Transportation secretary Wiedefeld says the proposal could be a solution to an estimated 2 .1 billion dollar budget shortfall. 646, we hear a lot about chestnuts this time of year, but in today's episode About Town, DDTOP's Matt Kofax, tells us why it's acorns you should really be thinking From about. mashing to boiling to seasoning and cooking, artist, educator and author Sean Schaffner wants people to see acorns in a different light.

Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from Mindful Gifting for Caregivers and Dementia Navigators
"Remember the joy of unwrapping a thoughtful gift that was just the right fit for you? Well, being a caregiver doesn't diminish that need, it just changes it. Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, who brings with her an array of gift giving ideas for caregivers and those living with dementia. Our conversation zigzags through a spectrum of unique gifts, focusing on both physical items and shared experiences. Welcome to Fading Memories, a podcast for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. I'm your host, Jennifer Fink. My mom had Alzheimer's for 20 years, and when I went looking for answers, I had to start a podcast to find them. Join me as we navigate the challenges of dementia caregiving together. This podcast is your beacon of support and empowerment. Let's share our experiences, find solace, and discover the strength within us. Get ready to embark on a transformative caregiving journey with Fading Memories. If you're looking for additional advice, be sure to sign up for our weekly email newsletter. It's brief, gives you great advice, you can read it in less than five minutes, and you know where to find the link. It's in the website, on the show notes. We're working on subscriber -only information and specials, so you're not going to want to miss out. When I learned that despite eating as healthy as possible, we can still have undernourished brains, I was frustrated. Learning about neuro reserves, Relev8, and how it's formulated to fix this problem convinced me to give them a try. Now I know many of you are skeptical, as was I. However, I know it's working because of one simple change. My sweet tooth is gone. I didn't expect that, and it's not something other users have commented on, but here's some truth. My brain always wanted something sweet. Now fruit usually did the trick, but not always. One bad night's sleep would fire up my sugar cravings so much they were almost impossible to ignore. You ever have your brain screaming for a donut? Well, for me, those days are gone. I believe in my results so much that I'm passing on my 15 % discount to you. Try it for two or three months and see if you have a miraculous sweet tooth cure, or maybe just better focus and clarity. It's definitely worth a try. Now on with our show. Hello, hello, you guys are gonna love today because we're talking about gifts and gift giving for people with dementia. And it's a perfect day to discuss that because today is my daughter's birthday. So I would wish her a happy birthday, but she's not a listener. So what I will do is thank Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast for coming on and sharing her gift guide and her knowledge. So thanks for joining us today, Elizabeth. Thank you for having me, I'm excited to be here. Awesome, I know we haven't done one together. I was on your show a while ago, but you haven't been online. Yes, vice versa. Yes, I love Fading Memories and I love that it's part of the whole care network. Definitely, so. We're all part of the same family. So you've been podcasting for six years as well, right? Yep, I'm in my sixth season. I launched in November's National Family Caregivers Month. So happy National Family Caregivers Month, everybody. And that was a launch. I try to do some kind of special every year, but I think I don't really have a launch this year. Just keep on keeping on. I've been really focusing on the speaking part of my business and really trying to get out there as far as reaching different companies and organizations to scale the caregiving support. Yes, it's definitely something we need. So where should we start? Do you wanna start with gifts for caregivers or gifts for people living with dementia? Let's, I mean, I'm always one to put the caregivers first. So like - Sounds like a plan. Yeah, so I think when it comes to buying gifts for caregivers, anything is probably going to be appreciated, right? We're just so grateful that somebody has been thinking about us and has us top of mind. But there's a lot of different things you can do, I think, for a family caregiver. And of course I also like self -care focused ones because not only are you giving them a gift, but you're giving them a tool of something that can help them mitigate burnout. So anything from like stuff that they would use like every day, we just had this in the fall, we have a sister's weekend and we do this favorite things party. Have you ever heard of that? Where we decided we were gonna each bring three things. We were gonna be $25 or less. This might be a great idea for someone to do as a swap exchange for their book club or their caregiver support group or whatnot. But I brought three of the same things. We kind of presented them, they're not wraps. But I got a lot of good ideas there this year for things like we had the things to clean our glasses, which would be a good thing for, they're called peeps. They're good for caregivers and for care recipients. Anybody who's wearing sunglasses even because they get grody, right? Very practical gift constantly. And then we had things like I'm wearing it now, actually. I love this Maybelline Lifter Gloss. It's affordable, it tastes good. Not that you're eating it, but you're gonna get some in your mouth on something. Smells good, it stays on decent. So I had brought that as part of mine. And then there was some cool body scrubs and lotions from, I think it was called La La Licious. So I think anything that can help us, oh, a boom stick was another one. It was like stuff that, this would be a very handy little makeup tool for a caregiver because you can put some quick color on your face, you can use it on your lips. Like it's one of those try it anywhere type of things. That's something you could like throw in your purse or your bag and when you look in the mirror and go, oh, it kind of looks so painful. Emergency, emergency. Yeah, put it, throw it in your self care tote. So I think little things like that, everybody's got different budgets these days as far as stuff that you can use. We did this, I do a Happy Healthy Caregiver virtual cafe is kind of every other month I do different kind of support where I wanna do some kind of a unique event for caregivers and introduce them to something. We had a Zentangle consultant come and teach us how to Zentangle. And it's basically like you're creating patterns. It's an abstract art, but it's very meditative. And she had given away as part of a prize this Sakura Zentangle artist tool set, it's like $20. But the thing with Zentangle is you use these little paper and you use like a micro tip pen. And so it's the little kit for that. And I like it because it's portable. You could throw it again in a self -care tote bag and pull it out just to kind of like, I need a mindful moment quick. Cause I'm a journaler, I love my journal of course, but I got that here too, the Just For You daily self -care journal, it's a prompted journal. And this is one form of meditation and doing that, but the Zentangle and an art journaling is another type of where it just gives you calm and peace. I can tell you, I felt very differently at the beginning of that session than I did at the end of the session. So something creative there. But I think too, when you're given a gift for anybody, whether it's a caregiver or care recipient, like just thinking about that person and what they naturally like and what they care about or what they maybe have mentioned to you in conversation could be something that would spark something. I was thinking, unless you know for sure they have a green thumb, don't give people a plant. They don't need something else to take care of. Yeah, I think as caregivers, right, we crave less things to take care of. The only exception I have to that would be the, I did get an AeroGarden one year, it's like for herbs. Right now I have basil, my basil is like taken off. And even if I can't use it in what I'm cooking, cause I'm not like this huge culinary chef, I learned this tip from another caregiver, Lisa Negro, where she said, she rubs it in her hands and smells the basil on her hands. I've been using it to freshen up my garbage disposal. Like I literally take some leaves off of it and put it in there to make it smell better. That's a really good idea. And I have a good idea cause I have the same issue. I have two pots with basil in it. I mentioned the other day, we needed to do a pasta dish with pesto. My husband was like, why? And he's like, oh, nevermind, I know why. Cause the plants are like big. It's pesto time. Yeah, it's like, and that's not something we normally eat a lot of anyway, cause you know, a lot of olive oil, it's not the healthiest sauce, but it is tasty. But I have been making basil mayonnaise and you basically just grind up, I think it's like half a cup of mayo and a third a cup of basil. I just do it to taste cause when I did it per the instructions, it needed a little more basil and I had a little more basil, so I threw it in there. And I am telling you, that is, that makes lunch just - Oh yeah, it's just like a little extra special and all you need is, you know, food processor or you know, maybe a blender, I don't have a blender. So I just use the food processor, grind it up and - Sounds yummy. It is really good and it's, you know, I throw just a touch of lemon juice in it just to kind of give it, you know, a little extra, what do they call it? Brightness, which that's a very strange culinary term, but yeah, it's delicious and it's, you know, you just plop in however much mayonnaise you need and then keep adding basil until it tastes the way you want it to taste, super easy. Never thought to use that. I think like little things like that, where you take something that people are doing all the time and you can maybe elevate it a little bit. So think about like, if someone's a tea drinker, you know, how could you make that special? Like, you know, tea, splurging on teas that they might not buy for themselves or the presentation of it and packaging it all together, maybe with some biscotti or something like that. Like it just like treat them, treat them to something spectacular. I also think anything pampering, like a massage gun or a silk pillowcase or a obviously nail appointment for their, you know, find out from their person where they go for those types of things and a gift certificate to that. I'm a big reader. So like reading is really fun for me, but sometimes, you know, there's lights now that you can get. I don't wanna hold a flashlight at night. I don't necessarily like reading a Kindle book all the time. So, but there's lights that you can light up and I can think of caregivers using that cause sometimes we're doing those things in very precocious types of places.
Veteran on the Move
A highlight from Meet Chicago Northwest with Mario Farfan
"Army veteran Mario Farfan is the account executive of meek Chicago Northwest an organization that is bringing Conferences and meetings to the northwest Chicago suburbs 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 Jop trying to escape this podcast is dedicated to your success And now your host Joe crane Service isn't just what Navy Federal Credit Union does It's who they are That's why Navy Federal created tools to help you earn and save more learn more at Navy federal org slash join Hey today, we're talking with army veteran Mario Farfan from meek Chicago Northwest Mario welcome to the show We're looking forward to hearing which good things you're doing up there in Chicagoland So before we talk about all that takes back to us what you did in the army Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for inviting me here today Excited to be on your podcast to share my story a little bit So, uh, well, I joined our military right at the high school literally after the graduation party the next day I was in the car with the with the recruiter Headed to all the preparation and in the other paperwork administrative stuff. So that was 19 night August 1994 I ride the South Carolina for Jackson for basic training Awesome, and you're looking through your bio your parents were Guatemalan immigrants, right? Yes. Yes, they were going from Guatemala to Chicago I came here after a long wait a wait time back in the 70s and They started their their journey in Chicago in Chicago the west side of Chicago actually humble park And that's where I was born But then they ended up moving closer to the north side And I speak in street corners because I'm from that era in Chicago is something about Chicago I know you I know you from Kansas City you mentioned as we talked earlier So we grew up on Winnipeg and Broadway, which is essentially the north side. They call it Edgewater now Back in the in the early 80s a very different area there that it is now a lot of Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees And immigrants that came after the Vietnam War. I did not know this Obviously as I got older I went back and there's a digging around how I grew up Why was there so many, you know different ethnicities? So I yes, I grew up in Chicago border ways in Chicago, correct? Yes, and so Tell us a little bit about some of the things you did while you're in the army Yeah, so I was I chose my MLS was 94 Bravo back then I think it's changed 92 golf now, which is a cook essentially my thinking a 17 year old person getting Advice from many different people that weren't an army They were like Mario choose a job that it's gonna you know, not be too strenuous or dangerous So you're not gonna so I wasn't gonna be an infantry or Airborne Ranger. I knew that right away So I decided that you know, and I was interested in cooking my mother She you know love to cook so I said to myself it would be something interesting to venture in So I was a I was a cook in the military Definitely had a lot of friends because we were out in the field You know, we had the nice kitchen trailer set up with hot coffee and grill and all my military friends had to eat those MRE So they were like, hey Mario, you know, hook me up with something hot stuff like that So I definitely gained a lot of friends which was pretty cool because I started doing networking back then. I just didn't know it Yeah, great experience. So talk about your transition out of the army. Was it something you're expecting to come on quick? Were you prepared unprepared? I would say I was policy. I'm prepared to be honest So I got out on night 99. I was in Germany my last stop At the time so it was more of a pressure to stay in. That's what I remember the most It was a lot of fear a lot of you know, high pressure to stay in like what are you gonna do? So then life is not great You know stay here, you know, you can retire which I know many people do I know many people Friends that I have still they retired in Germany. They ended up just living to staying there, but my family at the time Was going through a struggle financially and I felt like I need to come home and just be back with them and support them as much as I could so I They gave me my paperwork and I was on my own. Basically. I got back to Chicago, which is very difficult right because Chicago Back, this is like 1999 2000. So just trying to you know, figure all of it out It's a lot right because it's benefits. There's paperwork. There's things that we just don't know about and I'll be honest the last Ten twenty years. I'm learning more and more, right? I Know too recently. There's just many benefits of veterans have that. We just don't know about especially when it comes to entrepreneur small business Something that I want to mention in in 2015 I started a Hispanic chamber out here in the suburbs and part of that was just thinking about how to look out for you know Hispanic business owners So now I'm thinking about better veteran business owners because I do run into them Hispanic or non -hispanic and they talk to me and say you know what? We we need better resources for our for our veteran business owners that are either starting a business On the middle of their business or just trying to figure out how to take their business to the next level So I'm always thinking about that. I'm always thinking about that. I am I am on me Chicago Northwest. That's my full -time job So so that that I'm able to incorporate it because I am I still continue to meet People from from that walk of life and as a veteran myself, I didn't have my own business, right? But If I had that information, who knows right 20 years ago Whatever 24 years ago who knows what would have happened to me when I came back, but I did what most veterans do I enrolled in college right away. It just tried to get out there in civilian life I began a 20 20 year career in banking. That's what I ended up doing so But so yes, I was a banker Assistant manager branch manager for 15 years and a regional manager up to a business banker So I did all facets of banking retail banking when it comes to helping small businesses and that's where I end in my career and and And then I decided to take a another a different Turn in my career into the what I'm doing now with me Chicago Northwest is you know working with us so still working with businesses right because associations nonprofits Diversity clubs sports clubs. Those are all businesses, right? So now all we do now in Chicago, Northwest we talk to them We we bring we try to invite them nationally, right or even internationally to the Northwest suburbs They come out and see what we have to offer so they can have the conferences the conventions or their meetings here. So That was a long answer. I know Back to what you said if I just one of five my transition If I had to rate it, I'll probably give it a one or two. It was it was it wasn't it was not great Yeah, it was not great. So sounds like you ultimately landed Well now I don't I'm not real familiar with the Chicago suburbs But is the Northwest Chicago suburbs primarily Hispanic or have a heavily Hispanic influence or I know she says something about you were targeting more Hispanic Since you're probably fluent in Spanish targeting the Spanish business network Yeah, great question so Chicago in itself state of Illinois itself has a large Hispanic population in itself city Chicago obviously is the largest city which is a heavy heavy Hispanic presence in the suburbs is starting to change, right? You have also an Asian presence Middle Eastern Indian presence, so it's starting to change very very a lot of Backgrounds and cultures Polish as well are out here in the suburbs It's all a mix but I would say definitely in the last 10 20 years the suburbs people have migrated Either to work out here in the suburbs to live out here go to school out here Public schools is a challenge, right? I I went to public schools. So hey, I made it I mean, I made it but it's not it's not easy Joe. I'll tell you that especially when I grew up in the 80s was definitely not easy, but So the answer to that would be yeah Yes, the the suburbs are being more diverse across not just Hispanic so the reason I started the Hispanic Chamber Joe because there's this Hispanic chamber in the city downtown on most people that live in the suburbs don't want to travel You know, it could be an hour for traffic an hour into the city just to go get resources and help So I figured why not have something here for them where they can go and get resources Find out about grants or how to start a business or get the paperwork in order So that's kind of how why I started to need I need that I saw in the suburbs in the middle Which wasn't there awesome? As a member owned not -for -profit Navy Federal puts members at the heart of every single thing that they do low fees and great rates Resources to help you crush your financial goals 24 -7 access to stateside member service representatives with award -winning customer service members can enjoy earnings and savings of $472 per year by banking with us an average credit card APR That's 6 % lower than the industry average a market leading regular savings rate nearly two times the industry average Learn more at Navy federal org slash offers Navy federal is insured by NCUA If it reserves a right to change or discontinue promotions and rates at any time without notice Dollar value represents the results of the 2022 Navy federal member give back study credit card value claim based on 2022 internal average APR assigned to members compared to advertise industry APR average published on credit cards comm value based on 2022 internal regular savings rate average compared to the 2022 industry regular savings rate average published on the FDIC gov Experts say that China is hoarding a massive amount of food They will soon have over two -thirds of the globe's corn reserves over half of its rice and over half of its wheat But when asked about it channel eyes One China expert says they of course will never admit to something like that Well, what is trying to know that we don't when it comes to the global food shortages China is the canary in the coal mine.

A highlight from It's Finally Happening...
"This -Palestine Israel war is very personal to me, it's very close to me. I was born in Israel, waking up and seeing people slaughtered in cold blood is tough. And as personal as it is to me, I have to accept that there's another side to this and that there are civilians being killed on both sides. We all know Ren, and although he doesn't express himself too much, you can really notice when he's going through something hard. Although he's deeply affected by all of this, he still has a very balanced voice and still deploys the show, and I think that's really awesome. I understand that the community is separated here, and so what we're going to do at all costs here is to make sure that we don't get involved in the war. We're obviously going to cover it because the events of the war affect the prices of Bitcoin, affects the money supply, affects the US budget deficit. The show must go on. Bro, the market is cooking today. Nice 150 % in a trade. Mr Diddle! What's happening bro? What's up man? How you doing? Very very well, thank you. That little trade that you told me to take yesterday? 159 %? Yeah. And you were going to close? Yeah. I'm glad I did it. Well done, well done. So the main reason for working here, everybody knows it, no one verbalizes it. There's so much alpha that goes on and information that goes on in this place that everyone wants to be on the research call in the morning because you know that should something good come up, you can make money for the day absolutely. Must I leave the trade now? Exit, keep it. Bro let's check, let's see where we are. It's Toronto? Yeah. Try. Oh yeah, this thing's moving. It has broken through a zone but it is hitting resistance here. 12 hour is your entry. We just had this pullback so you can hold it but look to exit under this one hour candle here. That's probably your safest area or you just TP here and then you're done. You know what, I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm going to take profits now. Let it reverse and come down a little bit, there it goes. Every morning these oaks come knock on my door, they want to know the levels, they want to know entry points, exit points but I help them you know, if I'm not busy I sort them out but again, watch the show. Bro love on camera, there you go, flash closed, confirm closed, done. Done. Sorted, sorted bro, there you go, that's how we bro. Well done. Shot, appreciate it man. I'm always taking control and now I'm in this situation where if I work with anyone else that doesn't want to work with Banta, I have to give that up. Everyone's trying to find out what's happening with Annie because she sent an email and now she's actually sent like an actual video where she seems to be crying a lot. I've got my hands on the video, I'm trying to figure out like what's actually happening here. Everyone is, everyone's wondering. Just the whole story, here we go. Before I came on board with Banta, I had my own business, I had my own channel, my own social media, my own whole team, worldwide team, massive discord, happy customers and I thought that the growth was just too slow and I wanted to reach a lot of more people and that I needed the leverage of a bigger channel to do that. But at the end of the day, neither of us knew what the perfect solution was because we've never done this. He's never taken on someone who didn't like already have an existing thriving business. As I've said many times before, I love Annie. I appreciate that she's come from the past where previous partners have screwed her. She brings that to the table unfortunately and I understand that she's got these guards up.

A highlight from BlackRock Bitcoin ETF in January | Larry Fink Is Confident
"All right, so things are cooking in the market right now, Bitcoin, Ethereum, what we're doing and watching with Solana. We'll break down a lot of things for you guys today, but it's all going to be built around the narrative of the ETF, when and how much of an impact it will have on the markets. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back to The Tech Path. All right. A couple of posts we'll get into. I want to kind of flow along here. There's going to be a lot happening today. Before I get started, I want to thank our sponsor, and that is iTrust Capital, if you guys are looking at long -term holding. In an IRA, this is one of the places to check out. You can hold Bitcoin over there, precious metals, altcoins, all sorts of things. It's all self -directed over there, very easy to use. All you have to use is our link down below. Get a $100 funding reward if you decide to go in on that. Low fees too on your transactions inside, no fees on a monthly. So just think about that. Let's go over to a couple of tweets here. I want to start off with Mike Allred, or Alfred. Mike had a very interesting tweet here, and I follow this guy. I would say he's a Bitcoiner, and he had a really good position point here on the first of November. FOMC press conference over, Jerome is off stage. Markets are not following the familiar script of dumping through the close. This is the turning point. Yields will fall, the dollar will top, and Bitcoin and equities will rip through the year end. Basically, Mike called it, and I think he's exactly right, what we did see in terms of yields starting to fall. In fact, we saw a fairly significant jump down in yields. If you look at what Joe Consorti was talking about, this is a good example, people are losing faith in US creditworthiness even after the 10 -year yield has fallen by 51 bips. So that to me is some of these nuances that happen in the traditional markets that start to move things around. It also starts to loosen up capital on the sidelines, and that's what you're watching right now. Then if you look at the comparison of where things are going around Bitcoin, because some people are saying Bitcoin could make it to 50K, and part of this will look at, of course, the ETF, the likelihood of getting an ETF before the end of the year. Even though our friends at Bootbar still believe that that's like a 70 % probability, I feel like this is probably going to roll into that January 10th date, and when it does, I think that is the key. Now, what does that mean between now and then? I think that is the big question for sure. Fox Biz says BlackRock is growing increasingly confident in the spot Bitcoin ETF approval by January. Listen, they're having conversations with the SEC, there's a lot of back and forth dealing with this. Ed Gasparino talking about this. Everybody on Wall Street is talking about this. If this does not happen, this would be one of the biggest fails, I think, on Wall Street in combination with the SEC, maybe that we've ever seen in the history of Wall Street. Other things to be watching for, and this is something that Seifert and I talked about the other day when he was on. Just in, French investment bankers receive an email from BlackRock promoting a webinar for their iShares that swap ETF products on November 15th. This is within eight days of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval window. This is something that Seifert and I talked about, Bloomberg analysts, and the questions that have kind of been brewing is that there's been a lot of advertising, they're called RFPs, and if you're in the media business, you know what that is, but there's been a lot of RFPs coming in asking about certain windows of time and how quickly you can activate ads. This to me, what is it? Because normally this is a year -end kind of thing, and year -end, sure, there could be a scenario where people are just blowing the rest of a budget that they've already allocated, but these seem to be very targeted and very specific, and when you get those kinds of RFPs, which we've received, then I'm always questioning, what are they looking for? What exactly is going on? That usually tells me there's a campaign brewing, and what else is out there right now that could be brewing in terms of campaigns when it comes down to marketing, just like Seifert said, there's going to be a marketing bloodbath of who's going to try to position first, whether it's BlackRock, 21 shares, Fidelity, all the ones that we have out there in terms of the spot ETF. Here's another topic on Bitcoin. Here's how high Bitcoin could soar in the first year of its bull cycle. There's a course coming in from Michael Van de Poppe. A couple of things he's pointing to right here, we're getting ourselves into a period of the first year of the bull cycle, means that most likely we're going to see a high of around 50 to 55K. I would agree with that to a certain extent. There are some things, if you're not in our diamond circle, our most recent post where Evan and I actually did two analyses on this. Evan did an analysis on the TA side. We did an analysis on the sentiment side. Looking at the long -term sentiment run of Bitcoin in general, especially if you look at how it compares to other assets, and you compare that to new activity, meaning new people talking about a particular investment like Bitcoin, it's starting to ramp up. So does that mean that we could be seeing entry -level participants or people that haven't been active for a very long time coming back in the space, which could contribute to these kind of numbers in terms of 50 to 55K? We're also going to have a period where we have the altcoins are starting to wake up substantially. Obviously, I think everybody's watching Solana, Matic, Avalanche today. Those are all altcoins, and they're all in a very positive mode right now. And of course, Ethereum clipped over 2100. Most likely, we could see a 22 by weekend. So there's a lot happening there. Question will be, in between, are we going to see altcoins do really well? And we're starting to see some momentum. Will that last? And does it act like a typical altcoin season? That's the question mark that I think a lot of people are trying to compare, because if you look at past cycles versus this one and the one we possibly are moving into coming out of a bear market, a lot of people look at it in a different way because of all this new speculation around ETFs, regulation, structured capital, the coming of age of this asset class, all those things that did not exist in the last run between 2019 and 21. So at this point, confirmation of the bear market is over almost close to 100%, especially with the breakout of 28K. That was the one that basically held the 200 -week EMA. So definitely moving forward for sure.

I am Matt Verderam alongside Gilberto Manzano as always here in the midweek edition of the show. We've got a lot to get to because last week might have given us the best slate of games we're gonna have all week long. We had four games that everybody thought were gonna be great and as it turned out, three of them were pretty good. One of which was a blowout. We'll get to all them here in a minute then of course we have our week 10 lines of five games that we're gonna focus on from our SI Sportsbook odds and then from there we also have the midseason awards that we have to get to as we are halfway home in the 2023 NFL season. Before we get to all that, let's welcome the other man of the tandem, Gil, what's going on man? How you been? Yeah, I'm doing well. Matt, as you know, I like to brag about my wins and complain about my losses and last week was a good week. I went 12 -2 with the picks but I am pretty disappointed that I betted against Joshua Dobbs. What a game, right? Unbelievable. I'm annoyed. You went 12 -2, I went 11 -3 and I feel like 11 -3 should have given me some bragging rights for the week and yet it did not happen. So I will say on the whole, our group, yourself, myself, Connor, Orr, Albert Breer, Mitch and John our editors and Claire, another editor of ours as well that does great work, I feel like everybody's picks have been really pretty good this year. There are some years you look at picks and go, oh my god, I'm barely above 500. Right now, I've got the sheep pulled up in front of me, so the best record is Albert who's 95 -41, went 11 -3 last week and then after that, Claire Kawana is right behind him with 92 wins and then in gold it says 87 wins and then it's myself, yourself, John and then Connor Orr at 75 and 65 pulling up the rear, so Connor's got to step up. Connor is bringing down the credibility of this entire group. That's not bad for last play, so 10 games over 500? His thing is, we all do our upset picks and he's done 50 upset picks. I think I've done like 16. So that's part of the reason, but yeah, the picks are good and of course people that want to can read those over at SI .com, we put them out every week. The editors are nice enough to put that together. All right, so last week, like I said, we had some great games. We had Chiefs Dolphins over in Germany and then we had Ravens, Seahawks, which we thought would be a great game, turned out to be a massacre, Late Window, Cowboys, Eagles, which was one of the wildest games I can remember seeing in quite some time and then of course we had Bills, Bengals at the end, the Sunday night game there and so like I said, we'll get to all those. Let's just start with how the day actually started. Over in Frankfort, Chiefs build up a 21 -0 lead on Miami. Miami comes back, makes it 21 -14. They had a couple drives at the end where they could have tied the game, even taken the lead if they went for two. They got into Kansas City territory both times, but both times ended up going backwards, lose the game. They dropped to 6 -3. Chiefs, of course, improved to 7 -2. Both teams go on their bye weeks. I'll So, let you set the stage here, Gilberto. What is it to you, is it more about the Dolphins that game or is it more about the Chiefs? It is more about the Dolphins because they can't beat a team with a winning record and don't tell me the Chargers are .500 and the Dolphins beat them. They barely got to .500, so I am concerned about the Dolphins, but I don't want to let the Chiefs off the hook, Matt, and I know you've been writing about this, but the Dolphins have been pretty average. It got to a point where now Mahomes is saying, yeah, we sting. We're pretty bad. Go talk about the defense. That defense is carrying us the entire season. You know what's kind of funny, Matt? This season, it feels like the team with the best defense might win the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs still have the best defense right now, it feels like, so it's kind of a weird irony, but you expect better from Mahomes and Kelsey, but the wide receivers, they can't create separation. And it wasn't for that awesome fumble, reverse play, whatever it was from Cook there. They would have probably lost a game there, but what's going on with the Dolphins offense? Averaging 17 points against the Bills, Eagles, and the Chiefs, so I go with the Dolphins there because I feel like the Chiefs could figure it out. It's halfway point in the season, they're just cruising by, and I think something will finally break out there, but I'll let you maybe talk about the Chiefs a little more. But the Dolphins, man, you're supposed to be the most explosive offense, highest scoring, and you can't even get a first down. It's like, do they have too many home run hitters? Too many touchdown makers? How about some chain movers? How about some first down people? How about some quick outs, and just get four or five yards, and everything just feels like a home run, and they don't adjust, and they don't kind of make end game adjustments because credit to the Chiefs, and Tyreek Hill said it too, they covered, there was great coverage on Tyreek Hill, so it's kind of one of those games where like, why not get a tight end that can help you out here? Why not get some guys that can make it easier? How about go to Raheem Oster a little more? He had like 12 carries, and he's averaging 7 .1 yards per carry, so I don't know what's going on with Mike McDaniel on two, and two was pretty bad in that second half there. Yeah, he had the touchdown to Cedric Wilson, but make some adjustments, Mike McDaniel, and stop going for the home run ball, Tua. Yeah, look, first of all, I agree, I think the Dolphins are the bigger storyline coming out of the game. Like, they've now played three really good teams, and they've lost all three of them, and they came back against Kansas City, but they were getting killed in that game too. They were 21 -0 midway through the third quarter, and frankly, if Chris Jones doesn't take one of the dumbest personal fouls you've ever seen, it's probably 21 -7, and we're having a different discussion. I think your point though, man, is good with the Dolphins in the sense of like, there's timing strung off. They're just dead in the water. They have no answer for it, and we've seen that now multiple times, this year and last year. Kansas City basically said, we're going to get up on the line of scrimmage, we're going to get our hands on Tyreek Hill, we're going to reroute them, we're going to cause problems. Look, who knows them better than the Chiefs, right? I mean, they know what can cause some issues, and they actually went back and watched practice tape of a couple years ago to try to figure out how to stop them. They went back and watched how they worked against him in team drills and practice, and tried to figure out some things, and it obviously worked. But from the Chiefs' angle of this, listen, the offense is a disaster, okay? They had 46 yards in the second half of the game in a turnover. But they're 7 -2 in the number one seed in the AFC because the defense is incredible, and they're just shutting people down left and right. If you go and look this year at teams that have played the Chiefs, nobody's thrown for 300 yards. Kirk Cousins came the closest. He was up in the higher 200s because he threw a million passes. But if you look at Gough's numbers, 253 yards, one touchdown, which was a good game. That was without Chris Jones that week. Trevor Lawrence, they didn't score a touchdown. He threw 41 times for 216 yards. Justin Fields threw for 99 yards. Zach Wilson, of all people, had one of the best days against him, 245 and two touchdowns. That game. wild And then you had Cousins, who went for 284 and two touchdowns on 47 attempts. Russell Wilson threw for 95 yards one game, and in the other game, the game that they won, he threw for 114. These teams, two I didn't throw for 200 yards. Nobody's throwing for yardage against them. They're second in the league in sacks, the first in pressure rate. They've got two elite corners in McDuffie and Sneet, and so, look, the question with Kansas City is obvious. Can this offense get going? Because if the offense gets going, they're probably the best team in the NFL. I mean, if they get even borderline top -10 production out of that offense, forget it. They have the week now to scout. I was texting with some people around the team, and I think there's a general thought of like, look, it's a bunch of little things that are throwing off the whole thing. Question is, how many of those little things can you fix in the next couple of months? The good news is you have Mahalem, you have Kelsey, you've got a good offensive line, you've got Andy Reid. The bad news is they have you and me at receiver. So, I mean, that's the question. My guess? They'll fix it to an extent. I don't think it's going to be a unit that you'll look at and go, oh my God, they're incredible. I think it's probably going to be a top -10 unit right around there at the end of the year. They're in the mix, but yeah, I agree, man. The Dolphins are definitely the thing that you'll look at right now, and the team you'll look at right now and go, all right, you're going to make the playoffs, but what are you going to do when you get there? Are you going to beat somebody good, or is there going to be a one -and -done? Matt, let me ask a quick question, because you watch this team closely, and I think I watch them good enough because they're always on prime time, but all these analytics people are saying, look at the EPA, look at the DVOA. They're top five in offense in all these categories, and I'm like, I get it. You keep showing me the numbers, but I keep watching the games, and the wide receivers are not that great. They're not scoring points. They had nine points against Denver, so I don't know what it is. Maybe when you said disaster, I'm like, okay, cool, because I was trying to play it safe. Maybe they're average because there's something here that I'm missing with the DVOA and the EPA. They're a disaster by their standards. By anyone else's standards, yeah, they're probably still an above -average offense, but by their standards, they're a train wreck. I will say this. People forget it because they won the Super Bowl last year. They were somewhat of a train wreck offensively the first half of last year, too. They had a bunch of games last year. They lost to the Colts last year. They muddled through a Chargers game that they ended up winning because of a pick -six that went 99 yards the other way. They struggled offensively against the Bills. They ended up beating the Raiders on a Monday night last year, but they were down 17 -0, and they needed to come back in that game. They were not good offensively for stretches of last season, and then they're them. In January, they cranked it up, and that was it. Even on one ankle, Mahomes did enough to win. But this has been the year before that. They were 3 -4 at the beginning of the year. They couldn't score a point in that season. That was the year Mahomes played, again, by his standards, not by anybody else's, but by his standards. He played poorly. You go to 2021, and they lost in the AFC title game. They were 3 -4, and then people say, oh, well, then they came out of it. They did in terms of that they won games. Their point totals after that 3 -4 start, they won 20 -17, 13 -7. Then they blew the Raiders out, scored 41, 19 -9, 22 -9. The last couple of years, they've had stretches like this, but by their standards, they're a disaster offensively right now. By the NFL's standards, they're probably somewhere between 10 -12th in the league offensively. So, got to take it for what it's worth. Yeah. All right. Let's get to the next game here. The Bengals and the Bills will go right to Sunday Night Football, speaking of a team that by their standards is an offensive disaster, despite what EPA will tell you. I'm not here to bag on the analytics, guys. I will tell you this. I'm a big eye test guy. You watch the Bills. My eye test, I don't care that they're fourth or whatever in EPA offensively. They have not been good over the last month and change. I don't think there's any way to say that otherwise. They go to Cincinnati. They made it a little bit closer at the end, but they were down 24 -10 with a few minutes left. They score a touchdown. They get the two, but they can't get the ball back. The Bengals now, 5 -3. Winners of four straight playing like we expected them to play at the beginning of the year. The Bills are 5 -4. It has been a struggle for them. They started the year 3 -1. Since then, they're 2 -3 going in the other direction. They have a very hard schedule. We'll get to that in a moment. What was your main takeaway from that Bengals -Bills game? Just the difference in quarterback play between Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and how to cover that game. I wrote about it. I kept seeing Joe Burrow moving around the pocket and extending plays. Then I look at the boxer, I'm like, wait, he has four rushing yards? I thought he ran for a bunch of yards. I know he had that one where he had the first down kind of signal. It's just when pressure comes, he knows how to move. It's smooth. It's not like he has to speed it up. He just says, okay, cool. You're right there, but I'm still going to do what I have to do and just extend plays. Matt, when it's Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson and Erskine Jr., Trenton Irwin, these guys are making plays. Then you look at Josh Allen, when the pressure comes, it looks difficult. It's chaotic. He has to kind of see what's out there and then, okay, force a throw or miss a throw. I get the Bengals defense is better than the Bills defense, so Burrow had maybe an easier time, but there was pressure. He was fighting pressure. I get it. The second there is not as good there, but it just seems harder for Josh Allen.

Now, a markets roundup. Crypto markets perked up yesterday, with a sharp jump late in the day at one point pushing the Bitcoin price above $35 ,700. It has since settled back some, but seems to be holding on to the gains. At 9am Eastern Time today, Bitcoin was trading at $35 ,400, up 1 .8 % over the past 24 hours. Ether was trading up 1 % at $1 ,890. Elsewhere, Chainlink, Polygon, and TonCoin are up 8%, Solana, Cardano, and Polkadot are up 3%. In macro indicators today, it's time to talk about talking. I'm referring to the attention paid to speeches and interviews given by Fed officials, at events, on television, at universities, wherever, and why it matters. And I mention it today, because Fed officials do like to get out there and deliver their message, nothing new there. But this week seems to be particularly noisy. This morning, I counted 15 scheduled Fed official public remarks for this week alone, and there were probably some I didn't catch. Two are from Fed Chair Powell himself. First, let's look at why they do this, and then we'll get into why we should pay attention, and also what they are saying. They do this for several reasons, one of which is personal branding. Another is broader education, that's part of the job. In case you haven't noticed, the Federal Reserve even has an Instagram account now and posts regularly. Perhaps the most relevant reason, however, is the messaging coming from people involved in setting US interest rates. Each Fed official is allowed to say what they think they don't have to conform to any official statement, and because of this, their comments shed light on what goes on behind the closed doors of the FOMC committee, and what factors could influence the next interest rate decision. For that reason, we should pay attention. This may be hard since there is so much Fed speak, but even just glimpsing at reports of official comments can give a feel for where the collective mood is, and this can help to shape expectations of where interest rates could go from here. So, let's take a look at what Fed officials are saying. On Friday, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said he thought the Fed was done raising interest rates. On Monday, Minneapolis Fed President Neil Kashkari hinted that he thought there were more interest rate hikes ahead. In speeches on Monday and today, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook said that she hoped that no more rate hikes would be needed, but that escalating geopolitical tensions could spill over into higher inflation. Yesterday, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee hammered home that any move on rates will depend on inflation, not on jobs or economic growth. In other words, heading into a recession will not budge the Fed. There are several other comments as well, and taken together, they give the impression of a Federal Reserve Board that is not in unanimous agreement about the rates outlook, but that does with one voice stress the importance of the inflation numbers. That does not mean other economic data points are not significant. After all, pretty much everything is intertwined. But it does mean that the inflation data is the most significant.

No more annoying figure politically, but there's Barbra Streisand news that has nothing to do with her weird politics. Did you catch this yesterday? Barbra Streisand. Go ahead. I know the news. Well, I think I know the news that she's being interviewed by Howard Stern. Oh, Lord. OK, well, that'll be something. No, this is a much tinier thing that nonetheless I got it kind of a kick out of. If you ask here, hang on a sec. Let's see if they fix this. Hang on a sec. If it wasn't it wasn't it was Siri. Who is married to James Brolin? Hang on. My phone's not on anyway. It pronounced her name wrong. It gave it a soft S. It would say James Brolin is married to Barbra Streisand. Get it? Streisand. Streisand. Right. Exactly. It's not. Her point was it's not a Z. It's an S. It needs to be Streisand. So guess what she did? She sued them. Much, much simpler. She called Tim Cook. Oh, well, yeah. And he fixed it. You know, there was a there was a have you ever studied the Streisand effect? You know what the Streisand effect is? It's fascinating. And this is something that has become kind of part of the it's sort of the lexicon. The Streisand effect means she was once livid that somebody took pictures of her Malibu estate. And of course, she lives in a palatial mansion right on the water. You know, she's got more money than Fort Knox. Incidentally, speaking of people with more money than Fort Knox, can I share what it's like to rub elbows to somebody with a lot of money? By all means. Don't worry. It's like me. Focus, focus, focus. I'll go back. If Streisand is going to be interviewed by Stern, she has a memoir coming out called My Name is Barbara, I believe. So I think that's why she'll be interviewed all over the place, probably. And that's an interview I'd listen to because, you know, he's a master interviewer. He is an absolute master into the guy is brilliant at that. I mean, if he could lose all the filthy stuff that he does in the you know, the idiocy and lose the covid idiocy. He's gone hard left. independent The fiercely rule breaker, bold Howard Stern is dead, but he remains a very good interviewer. A hundred million dollars a year might do that to you or whatever he gets. He gets some crazy amount of money. And as I was rubbing shoulders with, I'm just going to say, somebody we all know who's got a very familiar face, I rubbed elbows with them at the Job Creators Network event. And this particular person was, I was told, lived in Palm Beach, which I didn't know. And I've known this person for a while. I'm not going to mention the name because I don't want to embarrass anybody. But I said to this person, I'll have this figured out by 830. I said, well, you probably know now if you think about it, if you do the math, I told you who was there. But anyway, I said to this particular person who I love, I said, hey, I didn't know you lived here in Palm Beach. The answer was, well, I don't actually live here. I do have a home here. And I thought, now that's money. Just one of many. That's money. And Palm Beach. Listen, it ain't a double wide. I mean, there's nothing in Palm Beach under about 10 mil. Anyway, so the Streisand effect is that Barbara Streisand sued somebody because she was upset that the pictures they took of her estate weren't authorized, because she's a notorious control freak, and she didn't want people to know where she lived. She sued based on the pretense of security measures, right? Okay. I understand that wish, but go ahead, all right, go ahead. Here's the Streisand effect. So the Streisand effect is the lawsuit had the opposite effect of what she intended, because after she sued, then it was very public where she lives, then the whole world knew. And so there's something in the legal jargon now that has become known as the Streisand effect that sometimes litigation, you know, emphasizes or puts an unwanted spotlight on something you're trying to quelch, to quelch, to quelch. So anyway, that's that. But I would love it. I am. I'm going to try to listen to the stern Streisand interview. I can't wait. And speaking of South Florida, aren't you packing for South Florida as we speak? Indeed. On the stage, DeSantis, Haley, Scott, Ramaswamy, Christie, oh my gosh, poor Chris Christie. I know. Gosh. I played that clip yesterday. Me too. Do you feel sorry for him a little bit? No, I do not, because he is an absolute virulent idiot. This is a willful thing that he's doing. It is a, as I said on Twitter, if he's just on a speaking tour and trying out some Trump hatred as a thought experiment to see how it works and what is still Trump's GOP, whatever, free country, free speech. But in an attempt to supposedly win votes in a campaign for president, it is an act of stunning malice, stunning idiocy. He is a self -absorbed fool and I have zero, zero empathy for that. I can't see him. I can't even picture him without the image of like a pro wrestling mask on his head. He's like a wrestler now. He's become to me a cartoon caricature. Do you hear what he said? Your aversion to the truth is not deplorable. Your aversion to the truth, as if I'm the sole arbiter of truth, is reprehensible. And then he said, you know, your cat calls, you're booing. That doesn't make anything better. That doesn't solve problems. But in an indirect way, yes, it does, because it is a crowd showing disapproval for him in their approval of Trump, who will make multiple things better if he were president again. Well, he's clearly rattled at this stage of the game. He's not liking any of this. He really is very unhappy with the – and what did you think was going to happen? What did you think was going to happen? What in the world did he think was going to be the end result of his vicious attacks on Trump? Look at what's happening to Trump right now. I was reading an article. I just talked about this, what he stands to lose in this New York civil fraud trial. He's at the risk of losing his entire New York empire that his whole life, his whole career was built on. This vicious Soros attorney general, who's trolling him regularly on social media, who's taunting him, who's strutting around like a peacock, bragging about how they've got him, and incidentally, that's how she campaigned. She said – she campaigned on it. I'm going to take him down. I'm going to get him. We're going to get Trump. That was her campaign promise and she thinks she's got him down. She's got this – they got this whack job judge. The judge literally said in the courtroom yesterday, I don't want to hear what you have to say. Also said, control your client or I will. Or I will. But I don't want to hear what you have to say. Well, then what's he on the stand for? You got him on the witness stand ostensibly to hear what he has to say. But they don't want to hear what he has to say. Of course, that was a revealing moment. This is so reprehensible and – but here's the thing, Letitia James could lose by winning. If Trump does lose his business empire, and he could, I mean they – and what he stands – I mean, for example, permanent disbarment of Trump being able to serve as officers or directors in any business headquartered, registered or licensed in New York, Mark, that's the goal here is to crush him financially. Of course it is. Financially, politically, reputationally, and in the midst of us talking about this courtroom appearance. And of course I've become fairly intrigued and amused by the various courtroom sketch artists. I mean, are they doing him a favor or not a favor? But I take you to a larger issue for just a moment because I don't know what your thought is on this. It was a bit of a debate yesterday. Speaking of things that are an outrage, it is an outrage that we didn't get to see this for ourselves, that we have to rely on reporters and courtroom sketch artists. Every courtroom in America contains the public's business being done. There should be cameras in every courtroom. Are you with me? A hundred percent. If we could see what is actually happening in this particular trial, it would only elevate his standing.

Welcome into The Mike Gallagher Show week in review podcast. Great to have you here. It is Friday, November the third. It's another week chock full of breaking news. Let's begin with this shocker. Over a hundred college professors at Columbia University in New York City signing a letter in support of pro -hamas protesters on campus. The anti -semitism we're seeing in the streets of America, particularly on college campuses, is astounding and we tackled it this week front and center. Over a hundred Columbia University professors signed a letter yesterday defending students who support Hamas. Can you imagine a college professor supporting monsters who put babies in ovens and and cooked them alive? Can you imagine over a hundred Columbia University professors, Ivy League staffers writing a letter supporting the students who defend Hamas? You'd send your kid to college at Columbia, you'd be out of your mind. You would be out of your mind. If you've got a son or daughter who wants to go get some hugely successful career and they think Columbia University is the path to take, you'd be nuts to let your kid go to Columbia, much less pay for it. And donors, you would donate to Columbia University? Over a hundred professors defending students who are supporting bloodthirsty animalistic terrorists. They put babies in ovens. They raped women and broke their legs before murdering them. They chopped soldiers' heads off. They chopped babies' heads off. And these moron professors, and they are morons, they are ignorant fools, wrote a letter demanding for support the moron students defending terrorism. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has a brand new speaker. He's Representative Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana. Democrats are none too happy about this guy. In fact, they are literally denouncing his Bible -believing Christianity. Wait till you hear what MSNBC personality and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had to say about Mike Johnson's religious beliefs. Does the Bible inform your worldview? The new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, a little -known congressman from Louisiana, has had the audacity to admit that for him the Bible informs his worldview. Jen Psaki was the White House Press Secretary. She now has her own show on MSNBC, and she is undoubtedly very popular among the left. I want you to hear Jen Psaki expressing her shock and disgust and mortification at the newly elected Speaker of the House, admitting that he's a Bible -believing Christian. So let's take a few minutes to talk about this new speaker. First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine, fine -ish. Conservative, yes, but he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses. How threatening can this guy actually be? Well, he gave us all a little clue as to how he would govern in an interview this week. I am a Bible -believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, it's curious. People are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun? I said, well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That's, that's my worldview. You heard that right. The Bible doesn't just inform his worldview. It is his worldview. In fact, during his first speech in his new job, Johnson suggested that his election as speaker was an act of God. Talk about a bit of a humble brag there. So what exactly has God apparently called on Mike Johnson to do? Well, his views on policy are essentially what you'd expect from a religious fundamentalist. They're more divisive than they are divine. She's threatened. They're threatened by a religious fundamentalist like Mike Johnson. And you heard what she, the way she described it. It's threatening. We should be scared because he's a Christian. Now you just heard that, right? I mean, I'm not hallucinating, right? I just played a clip from MSNBC and she's got some MSNBC bona fides. She was the White House press secretary. She's no slouch in terms of elocution. She knows what she's saying. She forms the word. She's reading those words on a teleprompter. Let me again repeat what Jen Psaki just told her national audience. We should be scared of Mike Johnson because he's a Christian. Let that sink in. This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. I hope you'll subscribe. Don't miss any of the great content that we produce every single day. If you missed anything, you'll catch up with us. The Israeli consulate in New York City invited the media to a special event. They shared firsthand evidence of the brutality of Hamas in Israel. This is very difficult to hear, but we can't turn away. We must be aware of what actually happened on October 7th in Israel. Kelly Jane Torrance writes about it. None of us wanted to see such sites, this person writes, but none of us would give up the opportunity. The world needs to know what happened. Journalists, about 20 of us had to leave our cell phones and Apple watches at the door. Some of the footage had never been released and Israeli authorities had their reasons for showing it only to select reporters and some select others like Joe Biden. They're concerned about the feelings of the families involved. They also don't want such horror and humiliation broadcast worldwide. One retired major general and reservist, Mickey Edelstein said, we have values. This reporter said, human beings still have the capacity to shock if one can call Hamas human beings. I will long be haunted by what I saw. The footage eases you into things, she writes, a little. Terrorists fire at motorists on the highway. They enter a kibbutz and blow an ambulance's tires first. They shoot a dog who reminds, who remains shaking on the street. They light a home on fire. Then, then they start entering the houses. Israel collected video from a wide variety of sources, public closed circuit TV, traffic cameras, dash cams of terrorists and of victims, as well as their social media posts and messages at home. You can hear the murderers breathe heavily as they nervously approach their prey. It was almost impossible to watch the council general admitted afterward. He couldn't even stay for the whole screening. A father tries to get his young children dressed only in underpants safely to a backyard shelter. A grenade lands before he can close the door. He's dead. A terrorist takes the two boys back into the house. The security camera captures their devastation. The blast blinded one boy in an eye, the other falls to the ground, plaintively pleading, why am I alive? Why am I alive? Blood is everywhere. A man with his nose blown off, headless Israeli soldiers, an elderly woman clad only in her brightly colored underwear, never meant to be seen by so many. Piles of bodies surrounded by young men, celebrating, chanting Aluakbar. A broken woman is taken from the back of a Jeep, the rear of her pants covered in blood. We can easily understand what likely happened to her. Young men clamor over trying to get a look inside. Women who were raped had their legs broken, then they were killed. So they were raped, they had their legs broken, and then they were murdered. Many times Kelly Jane Torrance writes, I wanted to look away, but I forced myself not to. We journalists had to see so what happened we could tell the world. Yet here is a line from a CBS news piece written by a journalist who saw the footage, quote, in another clip, a militant stands over a man who appears to have been shot in the gut and hacks at him multiple times with a garden hoe. Interestingly, the words terrorist or terrorism don't appear in this piece. They don't appear in the New York Times report of that screening either. I can tell you it was not a militant who stands over a man. A group of terrorists argue over who gets to behead the man. A Thai worker bleeding profusely from his stomach but still alive. Someone hacks at him repeatedly with a hoe trying to behead him. Every single time the terrorist yells Alua Akbar. That difference in detail is why the consulate staff sat through 45 minutes of misery. They need people to see what happened. Sure, dead babies were found without their heads, but who knows who did the deed, according to journalists from serious publications, supposedly publications. serious She says, the hate I witnessed goes beyond those who entered Israel. A young man uses a dead Israeli woman's phone to call his parents and brag of killing 10 Jews, quote, with my bare hands. He pleads to his father, please be proud of me, dad. That's the culture Israel must fight. Then there's New York City. A day after the screening of this video, thousands of anti -Semites marched into Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge after a rally at the Brooklyn Museum. At the front were people holding a banner that read, by any means necessary. This journalist who saw these atrocities committed by these monsters, these savages called Hamas, writes, understand what a sign like that means. These people know what happened October 7th. They're gathering in large numbers in New York and cities around the world, including America, to show their support for the animals who committed these atrocities. They are as bloodthirsty as the heavy breathing terrorists whose voices the people of Israel will never get out of their heads. And that's so important. You must know what pro -Hamas demonstrators are. On the pop culture front, actor Matthew Perry, best known for his role on the sitcom series Friends, passed away at the age of 54. He was found in his hot tub in his Los Angeles home, apparently drowned. A very interesting conversation resulted in vaccines with the shocking death of Matthew Perry. 54 years old, he was one of the stars of Friends. He was found dead in his jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home. And right away, people started rushing in saying he was a big pro -vaccination guy. The anti -vaxxers, as they're known, went bonkers, saying, how does a 54 -year -old guy who was allegedly clean and sober, he had had a lifetime of trouble with drugs and alcohol, apparently, rough life, he had gotten his act together, he wrote a memoir last year, and he was lounging in his jacuzzi, and he died. And so far, the police say, no sign of foul play. There were some prescription drugs found, but no illegal drugs or illicit drugs. And this guy was part of the culture and one of the most successful sitcom actors of all time, and one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, Friends. And apparently, he had his personal assistant go out to run some errands. The assistant came back after a couple hours and found this guy dead in the jacuzzi in the backyard of the pool. A lot of people were tweeting and writing on social media. This is not a conspiracy theory. People are suddenly dying. People are having heart attacks. And they pointed out that Matthew Perry had tweeted out like a year ago, could I be any more vaccinated? Get your shot and then get your shirt. Shop the entire collection. And it was a collection of t -shirts bragging about getting vaccinated. And people were tweeting out things like, do you believe Matthew Perry died from heart issues in his jacuzzi that were caused by him getting so many COVID vaccines? Again, he once promoted a t -shirt that said, could I be any more vaccinated? Well, you know, I know we don't want to open up that whole can of worms again. On the other hand, did you see the story about the new analysis by the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, said that there may be an increase in the risk of stroke when you get a COVID shot on the same day as when you get certain flu vaccines. A new analysis found the link was clearest in adults over 85. It applied to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID booster vaccines. The FDA said the risk might stem from the flu vaccine alone and be completely unrelated to the COVID shots. I think it's fair to say, and I just want to start right here and say, whether we like it or not, most Americans, I think, and I want you to correct me if you think I've got this wrong, most Americans have a deep distrust over just about any vaccine. There was a horrific incidence of violence this week in New York City. It erupted after an argument between neighbors of a New York City apartment building. It was all captured on closed circuit surveillance video. Maybe you've seen the ghastly video of a neighbor in an apartment building who executed a father and his stepson over a dispute regarding noise. It was all captured on closed circuit surveillance video. It's awful. I don't want to play it. I mean, this guy came with a gun ready to confront this family. There had apparently been a history of arguing between these two tenants of the apartment building, I think it was in Brooklyn, and the family comes out to confront the guy. He's wearing a jacket. He's dressed all in black. And the closed circuit surveillance cameras are just crystal clear. One thing about this closed circuit TVs now, the video quality is as good as anything you see on a TV network. You can get these ring cameras and everything, and they're a real good deterrent, I think, for criminals, because they work well. I've got a whole set of them at a property that I own, and you can see everything. It records automatically. If there's movement, you can set all kinds of settings. Anyway, they had a closed circuit camera in the hallway of this apartment building. This guy's waiting. He's pacing. They're arguing. The dad comes out, and he's very threatening. He's apparently a bodybuilder. The father was this big, hulking, you know, muscular, tall guy. And he storms out with a pair of scissors in his hand, and they're arguing about the noise. And according to news reports, you know what the noise was? The family that the other guy was objecting to, they lived above this guy, and they didn't have carpeting on the floor. So whenever they walked, they were walking on wood floors, and it made a lot of noise, and it just aggravated the guy down below. So the guy down below shows up. He's in the hallway. He's got a jacket on. They're arguing. The family's arguing. The big, you know, bodybuilder is towering over the guy with a pair of scissors. Well, the shorter guy that came up to complain, he pulls out a gun, a handgun. The father immediately retreats. Doesn't matter. This guy starts blasting away. He shoots the dad multiple times. It's all caught on camera. The son, the stepson, tries to get away. He executes the stepson, pumps him full of bullets, and then he goes over to the dad, who's trying to get up. He's fallen by the door and puts a couple more bullets in his head for good measure. I mean, it was a stone cold execution. And there was a big debate on social media about whether or not it was self -defense or not. Well, of course it wasn't self -defense. He executed them. He's arguing with them about noise in an apartment. Now a family is shattered. And the breaking news, the reason I'm telling you this whole story is there is some news. They got the guy. Police shot him at a traffic stop moments ago in Brooklyn. The 47 -year -old suspect, Jason Pass, was in a car when police got a hit on his license plate. They performed a traffic stop, at which point the situation took a violent turn. He charged at the cops with a knife. They shot him. He's been rushed to an area hospital in critical condition. So everybody's lives are... And there's a moral to the story here. And the reason I think it's important to talk about it is more and more people are arming themselves. It's inevitable. Look at the world around us. Listen, I'm starting up the process again here in Florida. Years ago, I got a concealed carry permit course that I took in South Carolina. But you know, it's been years. I was living in New York City. You sure aren't supposed to have a gun in New York. And now that I'm a Florida resident, I'm going to be armed. You were there with Mike Lindell through thick and through thin. You appreciate that Mike has been targeted and they've tried to stop him.

Mutually CoDopendent
A highlight from Reunions and Red Flags
"Hello! We are Mutually Codependent, and this is also Mutually Codependent with Adam and Jen. I'm Adam. And I'm Jen. That's Jen. Hi guys. Hello. We're excited to be here, here at our house, in our room, we're excited, just so excited to just be in our room and do whatever the fuck we want, and sometimes record it. So welcome to the show, you should know a little bit by now if this is your first one, sorry. If it's your first one, start at another one. Pick a different intro, and then come back here, go to a normal intro, and then like fast forward one minute, which it was exactly one minute when I said that, I was watching on the screen. So, we have a show for you today, and we're excited to do it for you, that's what I really meant to say, but before we get started, we have to start every show with our strain of the show, and Jen's gonna go over, what are we smoking? This week on Mutually Codependent, we are smoking tropical cookies, a THCA strain, courtesy of Syntex CBD and Texas Canna Health, find it at syntexcbd .net. It is a THCA strain that is sativa dominant, with 20 .6 % THCA, and 0 .28 % Delta 9. It's supposed to help, this strain is supposed to help the user feel creative, focused, and relaxed, which I'm really hoping it does, because that sounds pretty fucking cool. I'm on my way. I Yep. like when you announce the strain of the show, so I have a chance to smoke it. Yeah, that's cool. It's good, the beta -carotylene is the main terpene, but I taste a lot of others too. There's a lot of citrus in it apparently. It is, it's tasty, it's real bright. It's Girl Scout cookies and orange something. Oh, that makes sense. So, yeah, we have more to the show too, we're going to talk about, well, we went to our 20 -year reunion, and it's kind of been a theme we've noticed over the past, I don't know, all the episodes. We keep talking about how we're getting older, or Jen's birthday, we talked, you know, several things. So, we went to our 20 -year... Yeah, the change of perspective, we went to our 20 -year reunion, so if you ever needed to know whether or not you're getting older, that's a really good indication, going to your 20 -year reunion. So we did that, and not only did we do that, we actually helped organize it, which, that's a thing. If you would have told me or Jen when we were in high school that we were going to be the ones responsible, not the only ones, but, you know, we were a big part of it. Part of the planning committee. Yeah, for like, hey, you know what, the 20 -year reunion isn't going to happen without your guys' help. I would have been like, I guess it's not going to happen. But we made a different decision as adults. Yeah, definitely. I would have been like, I would have laughed. I would have just been like, oh, okay. Yeah, because I'm going to come back to Texas, that's probably. And, but, we're both here. And it was kind of like when we were driving back from it, it's basically like one road that goes all the way from our neighborhood that we met in to our neighborhood now. It's literally just Heather Wilde connected the two. It didn't at the time. No, it did not. But now it goes all the way up to Round Rock and that's, you know, where we are. So it was kind of weird like going back to that area and then that was before even talking about people, you know, like we went and saw people that we hadn't even thought about it and who knows how long, but it was good. We decided, hey, you know what, there was like seven or eight of us that decided, hey, you know, we'll have one for ourselves and then, you know, we'll see if there's any interest and if there is, then we'll put together, you know, we'll just do the whole thing. And that's what ended up happening. How many people do you think showed up? 50? Probably about 50. It was a lot more than I expected, to be honest. Yeah, and there were some people that said they were coming, that it didn't show. And then there were people that didn't say anything that showed up. But honestly, it was a good time. I have a lot of social anxiety, especially when it's regarding anything from my teenage years. So being there at that reunion, I was really worried, but honestly, it was fine. I had a really great time and I really enjoyed getting to reconnect with some of the people that we did. I got to see one of my best friends from high school for the first time in 20 years. So that was fantastic and we had a really good time. And we got to smoke weed with some of these people. Yeah, we did. We brought a bunch of party favors. We got the syrup and the gummies and pre -rolls and I even took three or four disposable vapes and passed them out. Yeah, so we got people high and was it a brewery? So we drank. That was fun. But we had a really good time, I think. I got to see Sarah. So I got to see another one of my best friends from high school. Out of my three close girlfriends from high school, two of them were there. Yeah, and you saw the night before you saw it. And then the night before we got to hang out with Tina because we went to our school's homecoming game. And then the bar after. The bar after was a lot of fun, actually. That was, so you and I and then Valerie and Chance and Tina went to Preyston's Bar and Waylon came and met us. That was fun. Yeah, I like that. I like naming all these people for people that don't know who these people are. Yeah, I don't mean to do that. It's just the way that my autistic brain works. I have to like line it up to figure it for me to figure out who was what we were doing. I'm sorry about that. So we were with all these peoples that we've known for like 20 something years. I probably would have told the story the same way. But yeah, so we had a good time though. But I, yesterday I kept singing, when she's not too pretty in the face, but she's super thick. I'm just thinking with my dick. And I was like, why am I thinking, why am I singing that song? Why is that song stuck in my head? And then I remembered when we were out Friday night with people, with everybody from school. We, somebody played that song at the bar like three times in a row. Yeah, it was that weirdo, really big guy that, I don't know. He was strange. Something about him. The one with the beard? No, not that guy. The Hispanic guy? Yeah. I don't know him. The other guy. No, we didn't know them. No, the guy with the beard, he's always there. Yeah. I don't know. He, he like kept trying to insert himself because we were a pretty obviously close group that were there. He was like totally jealous of how well we were all getting along. And he seemed to kind of be ignoring the woman that he was with. And she was probably way out of his league. So you think that he'd appreciate it more? It was probably his sister. I hope not. Based on some of the hand placements I saw. Oh. Who knows? People are fucking weird. I've touched my sister's butt, but it was just to hit it. It wasn't to, you know, there was no grabbing. Not like that guy was a grabber. Anyways, but then on Saturday we had our 20 year reunion at the, at a brewery and it was a lot of fun. And I'd mentioned the brewery, but the beer wasn't really very good and there was like other problems that we had. So yeah, we're excluding the name. To be nice. Yeah. They have like concrete floors and you know, when somebody like digs up the concrete to work on like plumbing or pipes. Dig a trench for a drainage or something, then you have to fill that back in. But they didn't fill it all the way up or maybe it was bad concrete or bad mix or something. And they, uh, the top layer of it was kind of crumbling. So people were tripping on it. Um, and including Jen who fell. Yours truly. I fell, um, hit my knees in the concrete and also landed and caught myself with my right hand, which is the hand that I just had carpal tunnel on two months ago. So that was fun. So that, that feels good. Yeah, that feels fricking fantastic. It's, I went to the, or the urgent care the next morning. It is not broken or fractured. It is only sprained, but it hurts really badly. And we'll see what the hand doctor says on Thursday. Right. Cause the surgery recovery, like you're still during the recovery from your surgery when this happened. So who knows what it's going to do? Hopefully they don't have to like do any more surgery. Hopefully it's just, Oh, that just, it sucks, but it's, it'll heal. Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for, but we don't know. So that's so, yeah, it's so frustrating because you've already been recovering and not able to use your hand for so many different things like lighting your joint, what you're doing, but, uh, yeah, so that's really frustrating. I imagine. I know it is. Um, so yeah, it's super frustrating. It's very annoying. So we did that, but it was really good to see people like everybody. It was a good group that showed up to be honest. Like everybody seemed pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Who, uh, I mean, I don't think anybody showed up that I wasn't expecting to in like a bad way. Like nobody showed up that I would have been like, no, I don't want that person here. No. And so that's cool. Um, not that there's very many of those, but, um, I feel like I even kind of knew like 90 % of the people there. Yeah. And, and it was, I guess that's what happens when like, we're the ones using like Facebook to do the reunion. Like we're only going to see the people that we already had exposure to. Um, but there were, there were lots of people outside of those groups that didn't show and I know that they know about it, so yeah. Well, I mean, and then, you know, there's like a lot of people have to work on Saturday night. Yeah. A lot of people in the service industry at all. Then, yeah, we had a lot of classmates out to work. Um, you know, a lot of classmates that aren't local or that don't care. We've, we've had people who passed away. Um, we, it, it seems as though we have people who maybe got along a few years ago and we're still their group of friends from high school, we're still a pretty tight knit group and then maybe a few election phases ago is what it kind of seems that that group separated. And then that some of those people, as from what I understand shattered, it's done. Yeah. So, you know, like it's not justifiably, you know, anybody on, you know, one side should, shouldn't put up with the other. Uh, yeah, but, and I, and I know some people like had, you know, have kids and stuff, so they couldn't come, but there were some people, it was good to see some teachers too. That was really cool to see some teachers. We haven't seen them forever. One of my favorite stories to tell from high school, I was about a teacher that I didn't even remember his name, but he was there and I coach Smith, coach Smith. Yeah. Um, I didn't know he was a coach. I'm sure I did when I was in the class, but right this, I was okay. It was integrated chemistry, physics and chemistry, integrated physics and chemistry. ICP. No, IPC. I know. Sorry. We, that was the thing. Cause that was like at the height of Insane Clown Posse's, you know, popularity. I would assume, do you think they have more fans now than they did then? And it is, is it only because of population gain? Like it's just the families of the people who already were fans that now their kids are fans. Uh, anyway, so I had this, uh, integrated physics and chemistry class, which is a pretty entry level class, right? It's your freshmen that you could skip it. Like they're like, you don't really need this class, but it counts for a credit. And so I didn't take it because I wanted to take biology and then I took anatomy and then I took chemistry and then I needed one more. And I didn't want to take physics for whatever reason. I looking back on it, I totally should have taken physics. Yeah, I've been fascinated by physics as an adult. And if I would have really understood what it was or like my potential interest in it, I would have absolutely taken it. I should have, that was dumb, but I did take it. So, uh, didn't take it. Uh, so what, what I did was go backwards to the class that you take freshman year, uh, my senior year. And that's actually all I needed to say for him to like glow up and realize who I was. He's like, Oh yeah, I remember you. So that was fun. Um, but I was also glad that he didn't remember me right away in a negative way because that would have been like, cause I was kind of a shit. Well, yeah, you were a shit. So I didn't know how much of a shit I had been in his class. Um, but he was actually the only teacher that I think I had. I don't know. Maybe I had vineyard, but I just don't remember. But anyway, she taught Spanish. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, for Spanish too, after Treplinsky failed me. So, um, I say that like I actually did all my work and she's failed and still failed me. That's definitely not true. Come to find out she failed everybody. Yeah, she did fail a lot of people that she fought with. Yeah. If she didn't get along with it, she didn't like you. She fought, she failed you. So I'm good for her. So there's a, yeah, so he's, he's there and, and I told him why I remembered him and this story, um, he would, it actually starts with a joke and he would always, uh, you know, mentioned something about a pot for. And, and, uh, and, and he did this and there was a particular person in the class that fell for it every time frequently. Like he did it often enough that everybody else was looking at her like, please don't fall for it again. And she was just, I don't know. I don't even, I think of her and I immediately think of her little friend too. Like they're one person because they were just like, to me, I only ever saw them coming into class together right at the last second and then leaving the class together. And so I just only, and I didn't even look like see them outside of class ever. So my only thought was like these two people together and I don't even remember the other girl's name. Um, and I'm not going to say the name of her because the story is kind of not nice towards her because she kept falling for this joke over and over and over again. And he would just be like, Hey, what, what are you doing over there with that pot for? And she was like, what? You know, the pot for, and what's a pot for? Well, cooking stupid.

"Pop culture is something that touches everyone. It's how we fill our leisure time and how we enjoy ourselves, particularly when you're talking about the famous people and big personalities in entertainment and tech. There tends to be a need to sensationalize, but what I enjoy is explaining to people how the things that they love get made, come to be, and how people make money off of it. I'm Lucas Shaw, and I cover the business of pop culture for Bloomberg. My job is to uncover how entertainment is changing and explain what that means for you, because context changes everything. We're going to be in an environment with higher rates for longer. The five -day in -office work week is effectively dead.

RADCast Outdoors
A highlight from Reeling in Records: Patricks Wyoming World Record Catch
"Fish on! Hey, Radcast is on. And welcome to the show Mr. Jim Zumbo. Gentlemen, I am pleased to be here and I use that term loosely when I say gentlemen. Al Winder. Just want to welcome you to the show. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to hang out with us on a podcast for a little bit. I am looking forward to it. Nothing makes me happier than a coke in Minnesota. If I can't be out fishing, I should be talking about fishing. Hailing from Wisconsin, Janna Waller. Thanks so much for having me. It's Radcast. Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. Powered by Bow Spider. Brought to you by PK Lures and High Mountain Seasonings. And now here's your hosts, Patrick Edwards and David Merrill. Well welcome to another episode of Radcast Outdoors everybody. I'm Patrick Edwards. And I'm David Merrill. We had a cool thing that happened over the last couple weeks we want to tell you about. We are now on Carbon TV, right David? Yes, this will be one of the episodes you'll be able to listen to on Carbon TV. We're super excited to be on that platform. I've been poking around and checking out all the other content on there and there's a lot of it Patrick. Yeah, it's pretty extensive. I was surprised at all the different shows that they had available and it was an inspiration to us to get on there after having Christy Titus on who's Pete Rogers as well. So maybe we should be on here since this is where a lot of our audience would be, right? Correct. It's exciting to be on there. It's exciting to see the growth. This is, we're starting November. We'll be starting year five, Patrick. We're climbing episodes for sure. Getting up there. Still getting out and about. It's not hard water season yet. I wanted to let everybody know we have one more exciting piece of news talking about fishing and out and about. I did see a post in a picture that it's official. We do have a world record holder on the podcast. Thank you. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I got notification after six months of waiting in agony about my world, pending world record. It happened. Have a, have an old time. The old record, it wasn't an ounce, right? It was almost a pound. The state record I smashed, the world record, I actually tied the guy. We co -hold the record, but I also had 0 .4 ounces on there and they round down. So I'm about half an ounce. I want horseshoes out of moms and hanged in raids. That's where it counts in close. Yeah, no, it's pretty cool for the state of Wyoming too, because we only have one other all tackle world record and the only other one is the golden trout, which I would much rather have that one, but I don't. So I'll take what I can get and having the white sucker all tackle world record is pretty cool. That means it's the biggest of mine, rod, reel, any of that. So it's pretty cool. Oh, you were talking about all tackled world record is held in here in Wyoming. So we need to get a few more of those shovel meadows needs to come here. So you got work to do. That's what I would say. Yeah. I was doing some research on that just the other day, just for fun. And so I had the world record or the world fishing hall of fame, freshwater fishing hall of fame. I had their book out and I had the IGFA book out. I'll tell you what, man, there's some really tough ones. It's going to be really hard to break some of those. I was, although for the IGFA, there there is some hope for some of the younger folks. So like our kids, they have a juniors division and then they also have a small fry division for kids. And there's several species in there that are vacant. Like no one has a record of any kinds and their species have to catch a fish. Yup. And their species that we have here in Wyoming. So it's potentially one of our kids could be an IGFA world record holder. They, it wouldn't be an all tackle, but it'd be for their age group and their division. That's definitely a doable thing if they wanted to do it. That'd be really exciting. If one of the kids was a world record IGFA holder, that's, that's actually, there's a potential. So everybody else, your books and you might not be able to get in the adult division, but to take a kid, put the rod and wheel in their hands and see if you can get them a record. Yeah. And it's funny, you can see which species are super popular because the walleye has a whole bunch of different records. Walleye being one of the most popular game fish in North America, largemouth bass. There's a bunch of them that have records, but then you start getting into the more obscure things like tiger muskies and tiger trout and stuff like that. And there's a lot less of them. If you're going to go break a world record, maybe that's something you look for. Some species only have the all tackle division open. So if you look at IGFA, the white sucker, that's all they do is the all tackle. But if you go to the freshwater fishing hall of fame, you can do the all tackle and all the line class records too. And so it's based on the type of line you're using and you have to send all that in and get it tested for break strength and a number of other things, but you can get a world record that way. So there's, and Danny, his name is in that line class world record book a lot. He's in there a whole bunch, which was cool to see that he still has a whole bunch of golden trout records and mountain white fish and other cool things that we have here in Wyoming. That's pretty neat. When we were elk hunting, we took the kids to elk camp for about three days. I would say elk hunting was on pause, but we were at elk camp and certainly it was a, it was a good time. Took the kids fly fishing in the stream and caught a lot of trout. That's awesome. What was the, was it all like brook trout or what? We can at least get over some of the particulars about how to do a world record and all that. Basically the idea of how to go about finding a world record that you can break and then going after it. How's that sound? Yup. I can even lead when you hit the flag button and tell me when you're ready. Go for it. Patrick, for everybody out there, how do you go about, you've identified that there's a flawed or a species that you like to fish for. We've talked about getting it weighed and certified, but how would you go about identifying a potential species to go after and what would you do if you were going to truly do that? Yeah, so I'd say it's going to vary by individual, but like for most people, you just have to get an awareness of what the records are. There's a lot of records out there and you also have to look at who the, you know, issuing agency or organization is. So there's the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. They have their own record book. It's totally independent of the IGFA. And so what I would recommend is you can go online and you can go to their websites and you can scour and look and see what some of those records are or you can do like I did and pay a membership and get the books so that you can see what they are and just easily flip through them, highlight and just see who's got what record. Then the other thing is you got to look and see what are the species in my area that I could potentially break a record, right? Golden trout in Wyoming, you could potentially break that record because we have golden trout here. If you're living in a state that doesn't have golden trout, it's going to be a lot harder, right? So that's just common sense. But you want to look for the species that actually grow big and you're part of the United States or abroad and start working on that, especially if you have a body of water that's close by. But it's important for a lot of reasons. I think it brings excitement to fishing, right? It gives you something fun and exciting to chase after. And I also think that it shows that conservation efforts are working because people keep saying, oh, there's not going to be any more records for this kind of fish or that kind of fish. And yet every year you have different records being broken. Like I was talking to the guy from the Game and Fish that was interviewing me about my two state records and he said, I'm just so surprised at how many state records there have been lately. And it's surprising, but not like I feel like conservation efforts and fish biology has come a long ways and we're growing bigger and better fish. And so I think that having world records, having ultimate angler programs, master angler programs, it goes a long way in just helping to raise awareness about growing some of those bigger fish and really encouraging people to be good stewards of what they have. We've talked about that on lots of levels. And I understand from the hunting aspect a little more, but I would say the biologists are doing a more holistic approach to reservoir stream management. And whether you're a catch or release or a catch and take, we won't get too far into that argument, but those creel limits are set and are pretty well monitored anymore. You don't have the good old days where people just went out and caught what they caught and did what they did. It's a little more regulated for sure. And that the benefit of that is we're seeing higher quality fisheries across the nation. Yeah, I would agree with that. And I think if the fish biologists are doing their due diligence and doing their job, the bodies of water that need you to come and catch and take, they're going to encourage that by setting creel limits that are very liberal, right? So that people can take a lot of fish. Maybe they have a slot limit where you can only keep them at a certain size. Those kind of things, I think, really help fish populations grow and help you grow record size fish. The ones that just stay the same all the time, they don't really pay attention to them because there are some places like that's where you have a problem. And I think like just here locally here in Fremont County, like we have an opportunity to grow some really big fish, because we have biologists that are paying attention. And it's really cool to bring a world record to Fremont County, especially from one that was in Minnesota. Minnesota is known for fishing, right? I would say Wyoming is more known for its hunting than its fishing. But we have some incredible fishing here. And so it's pretty cool to bring a world record back to the state and to see our fisheries biologists get really excited about it. I thought that was pretty cool too. So explain to me, what is a slot limit for somebody nomenclature who's never heard that term before? Yeah, so it's basically just saying like, certain size fish you can keep certain size you can't. So in some states, like if you catch a walleye between 15 inches and 20 inches, you can only keep two or three of those. And then you have to throw back everything under that size. And maybe they'll let you keep one over that size. So they're regulating the population based on the sizes that they want. So Flaming Gorge is an example where they want you to keep lake trout under 24 inches or 28 inches, something like that. But they want you to release the bigger fish because they have too many of the smaller fish in the reservoir to feed. And there's only so much food in that body of water. So that's essentially what slot limits are designed to do is you want to keep a lot of those eaters that people can take home. And by doing that, you reduce the amount of biomass or the amount of mouths to feed in that body of water, thus sustaining a better, healthier population where fish can actually grow to behemoth size. And I would say, thinking about it, it's pretty easy in the hunting world to do that kind of regulation. Well, it's a lot limit. Sometimes they say three point minimum, sometimes it's antlerless only, sometimes it's antlered only. And they have a whole bunch of reasons why they're putting those limitations to achieve different outcomes, right? Either reduce herd size, increase quality, increase male to female. But in fishing, it's a little harder to, especially freshwater fish, to really sex those fish and say, oh, that's a male, that's a female. During spawning time, potentially, yes. I think of salmon. It's pretty easy. When they're getting ready to spawn, they run up the river going, oh, that's a buck, that's a hen. 365, catching a walleye out in the lake. I could, until it's filleted, I couldn't really tell you what it was. Yeah, some fish species is pretty hard to tell the difference. And like you said, some of them, it's super easy. But some states go to, out in the Midwest, you have states that have fish openers and closers, like they have closed fishing season certain times a year for certain kinds of fish or certain drainages. Even in Wyoming, we have certain drainages that are closed at certain times to protect those spawning fish. And then again, it all goes back to that stewardship piece. What they want to do is have a good successful spawn so that we have lots of fish in the future. And I'm all in favor of that as long as it's not too restrictive. And it's actually based on what's best for that fishery. But yeah, quite a bit different bodies of water sturgeon might be protected certain times like around here, sauger if protected on the Wind River at certain times. And so you just have to pay attention and make sure that you're abiding by those regulations and that you're doing it right. It's all for the betterment of those species. And it's important to pay attention to that because we want good fishing for our kids. Oh, yeah. A world record I'd love to go chase would be halibut, right? But to sit here in Wyoming and say, you know what, I'm going to go break the halibut world record. It's 400 million pounds and there's been halibut are not a difficult fish species to target. They just aren't. If you've cat fished, they're similar to that. They're gonna eat bait that's on the bottom. Getting bait in front of them is the important part. Getting in on the fish is like anything you'd you could be in the same body of water on two different boats and one guy's limited out one guy doesn't catching fish. So part of it is just where you're at, right. But for me to sit here and say, Oh, I'm going to go get that record. You got to catch a lot of halibut and let a lot of halibut go and you're going to spend a lot of time and halibut lives coastal water specific and Atlantic. I'm a long ways from either either ocean. Realistically for me to sit down and say I'm going to get the next world record halibut. That's not a great goal to set for myself. However, if I want to set golden trout, shovelnose sturgeon, maybe even sucker. I know where a world record sucker is caught. I think there might be another one out there. There could be. And that's the thing. I've had a couple of people message me. They're like, we're going to come for your record. I'm like, do it. That's that's the point is that records are meant to be broken, right? And I'm sure it'll happen at some point. But this IGFA record has stood for almost 40 years. That's a long time. But if it stands for six months or if it stands for 60 years, you've got the piece of paper, you've gone out and accomplished it and done it and given recognition to that fish species. And part of that shows that, again, that ecosystem, that habitats got to be healthy if it's producing quantity and quality at the same time. Yeah. And I've told people for a long time, we are really lucky to live where we do because there are some massive fish here. You look at the state record walleye over 17 pounds, the yellow perch over two pounds, crappie over two pounds. There's some big fish in this area. And the potential for world records exists not just with white sucker, to your point. We could get a world record sogger here. We could do a world record a lot of things, but it just depends, again, on the body of water, the environmental conditions. But what's really cool is that I think everybody across the country has an opportunity. You just have to go and see what species of fish that you have that you could potentially chase a record for. It's fun to think about and something fun to try. It's always good to have goals. It's usually mine is like master anglers or I want to catch a new species or I want to catch a new fish to try to cook. And all that culminated in this world record because I wouldn't normally target sucker. I don't target sucker on purpose very often. And it's just another really cool species to go after. Again, if you're going to call yourself a great angler, which I hope to be able to do someday, you really got to be able to catch all the fish and learn how to catch all those fish. And that's part of the fun. You got to be multifaceted. And as you talk about that, I think about bear hunting, very specifically, carnivore hunting, but bear hunting, you've got to set goals, right? And if your goal when you first said, I'm going to break the world record, black bear, good luck, go ahead, have fun, right? I'm not going to say you shouldn't have that goal or somebody shouldn't. For me personally, if I wanted to get a bear, then I want to get a lot of bears, then I want to get a big bear. And now I just want to interact and see and be within bears territory, bear country, and be able to know what that bear is going to do before he does it right. Oh, he's going to use this saddle, he's going to use that edge of timber. Oh, he's going to come back out here. And the next goal is wolf. And then the next goal is mountain lion. And then the next goal and there's, you can keep setting those goals. And you don't have to be for lack of a better word, back east whitetail hunter and say, I'm going to break the county and state and the world record in inches of whitetail. It can just be, I'm going to break the record of how many deer walk under my stand this year and don't notice that I'm there, right? It could be a catch or release. How many rainbows can I catch or release on this body of water? And I think of couple reservoirs that are close to us on the right day on the right time. Boating 15 or 20 rainbows is a fun day. Oh yeah, it's so much fun. And giving yourself something to chase after is always a good thing. And no matter what you do in podcasting for us, it's how many episodes can we put out that are compelling that people want to listen to? How many different states can we hit people in to listen to it? You got to have goals for everything that you do in life. And I think for me for fishing, there's lots of different reasons that I do stuff like my kids, I want them to catch master anglers because I want them to get to catch all these cool fish and I want to do it too. And it's just a fun thing that we can all do together. But I think another cool part of it for me, especially over the last several years, has been, can I catch this fish and what does it taste like? Can I make with it? And that's where the whole sucker thing started was Jim Zumbo talking about how you can do this with them and you can do that with them. And I've never really tried that same thing with carp. Like I tried a bunch of stuff with carp this year I would have never done. I don't ever target carp specifically until this year. But it is fun to expand your horizons right and see what kind of angler you are see what you're made of and then of course see what that resource is all about see what that fish brings to the table quite literally that could be interesting or new and it's good to push yourself to try those new things.
Motorsport Radio
"cook" Discussed on Motorsport Radio
"Sponsor force one support on us massively this year. Giving us a fair bit of money to help support our racing. There's a few other responses like, say, have come along. WGA racing, the construction and AI labs, one of the people in the alums have come to sponsor me. I'm really, really appreciative of what they've come and helps. So because honestly, this year would have been really, really hard to do without the money. It really, really would have been kind of almost the end of this year. It could have been really bad, but sponsors have come over and really helped out, keep my racing going and that kind of gives me motivation to push on a bit more this year and yeah, there's so many sponsors who have came along I'm sorry if I can't name most of the sponsors if you're literally too many to all remember, but how can people keep in touch with you though? Your website presume you've got a website and your social media then what's the places to go? Yeah, so my website on my Instagram Harry cook on score 99 my Facebook's hardcore racing on school. No, Harry underscore cook, I'm just going to write it. And I think the same as how I could write some of Facebook. And yeah, I think I've got LinkedIn profiles as well, but that doesn't matter on fair enough. Well, it will be really great to see just how well you progress this year. Both commercially with your commercial partners, as I mentioned, and on track as well. And yeah, we will, I don't know. Maybe I'm trying to get you back on towards the end of the season. Amid season and just see how things are going for a bit of an update if that's okay. All right. Yeah, definitely. Obviously, I'm quite new to these interviews and stuff like that, but hopefully towards the end of a bit more, a bit more knowledge about doing all these interviews on point note to turn this stuff. These people were I'm so sorry that I've been starting this whole interview. I'll suffer with ADD. I'm so slow in my mind for process. Honestly. Don't worry about it. Have you ever watched this show? I mean, it's me just me just blundering around trying to figure out what the hell I'm saying. Yeah, you don't worry about anything, right? Thank you. So much for coming on. Harry cook. Here on the superbike show for the first of many times, I'm sure. So yeah, thank you. Once again, for coming on. And yeah, we'll see you out at a racetrack very soon. Yeah, definitely. Thanks, Harry. Thanks. Thank you. What radio? Join the conversation. Contact the show. On Twitter on Facebook and on our website. Motor sport radio boom, Harry cook there, fantastic to hear from him and, well, yeah. Well, well done for that, getting him to come on Chris as well. I know he was just a tad a little bit nervous as well before the show, but literally nothing to worry about. I mean, the way I the way I go on. Jesus. Half the time. Yeah, literally. That was all right, as well. And Harry especially amongst other riders who were also commercially successful, always does seem to do a really good job. I'm sure it's in a large part down to his commercial viability as well. How commercial someone is, but also the effort that his parents put in as well, but he's always one of the ones that, for example, always has the updates about the new sponsor and the this and that and the stuff and you go on his website as I did before the show. And yeah, wow, he's like a world championship level sort of rider with like a dozen or so sponsors. It's fantastic to see. That level of sponsors and support coming in at this level of in PSP. And I feel how personable Harry is as well makes a massive difference is happy to speak to any presidential sponsors. He's happy to speak to fans. And of course, you know, he's come on this evening to speak to us. And he's a very personal and a very appropriate guy. And I think that is one thing that encourages sponsors and encourages people to help and support him along his way in his career. Definitely. And Lewis, you're the almost the same age as Harry. Believe it or not, I know I'll always use that. But yeah, and you're also a rider yourself, although not at the same level, sorry. But if only it could have been who knows. But I don't know, do you see any sort of what do you take away from what he said there? Interesting nuggets, some information for you. Yeah, I'll be there. I'll never be on the level as hottie and all the boys in recent years. So at fab at some point. Sure, my truth. But yeah, I think it's shown through that whole interview, just how much it loves recent, how passionate it is about race and just as found on the face of my explaining for a race we can. You could just see that it was think of back and just thinking back and it was my own face. But as you mentioned there with the website, it's almost what you need to do now at this at this level that we're at in 2023, you need to have the social media presence and really just push your race and then try to get new potential sponsors out there which are which is why I think Harry is so successful when it comes to getting those sponsors and getting big sponsors is as you mentioned website just looks professional. It's exactly what you need to know and it's exactly what you need to get your name out there and get these opportunities such as the Yamaha bullet crew cop, which is what she explained and what should they grate at? Yeah, definitely. And well, it's no big coincidence really. The ones that seem to be doing all the stuff on the social media and the interviews and all the making the big efforts and the big push. I'm not saying that others don't, they do, I'm sure. But there's no coincidence that the ones that stick at it, especially when times are tough and maybe you don't have enough time because of school or whatever a work or you just want to chill out on an evening or something. That the ones that are still putting together their sponsorship proposals end up generally getting the extra sponsorship to keep you on track for the following season. Generally speaking. I know there's like a massive bit of like broad strokes of like just general general generalizing there, but yeah, Harry and his team I was spelled his family. So far doing a good job at that. So yeah, and like you said, Lewis, he seems to be a decent enough lad as well. So anyway, moving on, just briefly, because we do have a few minutes to talk about. I want to go back and talk about the well super bikes at the weekend. That we mentioned as well, and a big hello to Alvaro Bautista. Hello, if you tuned in, it's not watching.

"Industry coming to Hawaii. And that situation actually prompted the one kingdom to do government reform. In order to pursue the recognition of its independence in order to survive with the onslaught of all these foreign ships, right? And then some of them were quite hostile. And weren't good. Nobody weren't good at all. So it was circumstances again that prompted my country to pursue a particular policy to ensure that it's protected. And with captain cook, and I want to, I would like to let it maybe clarify. I'm not saying that captain cook was a good guy and the Hawaiians loved them. I'm just saying that he was a victim of circumstance and the chiefs looked at him in the way of a friend, right? The chief of Hawaii island, okay? So let me give some context here. So there is no memorial for captain cook in these islands. Except for a marker and this marker is at the shoreline. Concrete. And it says, and this is what it says. It says near this spot. Captain James cook met his death February 14th, 1779. So that's more of just the point to make, not that a revered person has died here. And let me read to you something from 1867 of a very renowned Hawaiian historian kamako. He writes and he refers to my fourth great grandfather. He writes, if we consider the history of captain cook from the start to the end. I do not come, I do not come out with a flawless name for a good name for him. If there is built in memorial to colonial Oklahoma for killing for his killing of the destructive scamp, captain cook, that would be something most appropriate. So you can see that. He has a colorful history. Yeah. And the other things that I wanted to ask you as well because one of the things that he is infamous for is bringing disease specifically venereal diseases there. To the people on the islands, also pillaging some of these communities and taking good, stolen goods back to Europe for trade, where does that fit into the discussion today? Yeah, so captain cook did intelligence anything while he was here. He couldn't, because the chiefs were in control. But what kept what colonial food had problems with was Hawaiian women were quick to the ships, and that's where the spreading of the venereal diseases started to take place. So colonial actually issued a couple, a couple is an order and when a king issues an order, everybody listens. And that the women were prohibited from going. While you had some of cook's men sneaking off ship to go out and try to get women, right? And that contributed to the tension. And again, it circumstance I'm not saying these people are evil, but bad decisions. That this isn't what the outcome was, he died. So for me, as a political scientist, and as a kanaka, a more Aboriginal Hawaiian. I don't view cook as a discoverer. He didn't discover anything, right? Any word. To me, he was a visitor. He was like a tourist that came to Hawaii and he met his death because he made bad decisions. So in our classes that I teach at the university. And others that are teaching, we give context to cook's arrival here. Not that he discovered anything, but if you look at it from the European perspective or cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands and they did it. Long before cook arrived. And that's why your other guests with him speaking through education while education is so important. I completely agree. Education is very important. Very important. And let's go back to our guest, Benjamin Jason, and Benjamin earlier I mentioned the issue of stolen goods and maybe I misspoke. Maybe cook did not take goods from the Hawaiian Islands, but I believe he did take goods from Alaska and took them back to Europe. Is that right? Yeah. There are, I mean, and the place you can find a lot of those goods are over in none other than the British Museum where you can find a lot of stuff from around the world. There are points where there were things that were traded, but there were also specially from the aleutian islands. From the inland gut people, there were things that were stolen. Interesting. And what else do we need to understand about captain cook, we are kind of winding down the show now and I feel like there's just so much to talk about with this legacy. It's very complex. That's really what's coming across today, listening to our different perspectives. And what's another issue that we need to understand about captain cook? I mean, the biggest issue is understanding not to just look at the individual. But in a lot of places, what you stand for or the kind of symbol that he himself was turned into. And once you recognize that, you're able to recognize also the erasure of the indigenous peoples in a lot of the places that he was named after. Absolutely. And these goods that are at the museum there, the British Museum, any efforts to repatriate any of those items or any movement at all? None that I know of. But as time is going on, I assume

Let's get some calls going. Once again, the number one 800. 9 9 6 two 8 four 8. We've got Benjamin Jason on the line. He's researcher at the Alaska native heritage center. He's in anchorage, Alaska, and Benjamin before break, you were sharing the irony of captain James cook in that even though his name is listed in so many places there in Alaska monuments and such. He actually didn't really have a huge impact there beyond just having his namesake all over the place. And so many discussions now throughout the country statues and monuments and things like that. And are there moves or efforts to change the names of some of these locations in Alaska cook inlet among them? As well as there's a statue of cook in anchorage as well. And what's the response there with some of those namesakes, those monuments, those names all over the state. And so cooking lit, he does have a statue here. And there is a movement to try and get rid of it. But one thing that is important when you're thinking about removing statues of these figures, especially someone like James cook is to remember that just getting rid of statue. Or the symbol, these physical symbols isn't enough. There has to be an education that the area that you are at is denied a land. That we've been here for, we've been here forever. And while this is a piece of art history, it's a very, very short and small piece of our history. And so having that view of yes, we can remove these symbols. That is important. But it's also really important to change the narrative to change the story. To the truth is that we have always been here. As native peoples. And that our view of the land. Has to be there in order to actually tell the full story. And what's it going to take? To change that narrative as you describe it. For the most part, education. A big part is understand. And a big view of among the line of non natives. That I've heard time and time again is anchorage has never really been a native place. When that's just simply not true. And so education is a really big reality. But there also has to be the changing of this colonial mindset that this place has been an untouched land. All that also with the education of the personhood of indigenous peoples. A big thing that you see over in cook's writings is really trying to analyze kind of the levels of savagery. Of different indigenous peoples. While he may say one group is really strong, he might like down upon another group. Which is really rebellion over all along the northwest coast within his own writings. And so changing that narrative that indigenous peoples have personhood is also a really big issue as well. Alrighty, let's go ahead and go to the phones now. We have Nicole listening in Gallup, New Mexico, on station, KG, LP, hello Nicole. Well, good morning, good afternoon to you all. I'm a very proud proactive great grandmother that's involved in policy and politics. But what I wanted to encourage is that not to really focus on mister cook, but you know, just like here in the Navajo Nation, what I'm trying to do is work with the new bow at migrant administration to change fort wingate the name fort wingate and all the forts or anything derogatory like Carson and fort de France. To change that to a beautiful Navajo resilience, strong name like Lincoln, it would be the toll putting strong Navajo in bear springs. So I'm trying to change something negative that is into something that's very, very positive. And then once I get done with Navajo Nation, I want to go to basket redundant, work with the tribes down there and change that as well. Alrighty. Well, Nicole, thank you for sharing that information. I hope you're enjoying our show today and yeah, it certainly does these issues with names. So many native communities as well as the Navajo Nation and what we're learning about today with the legacy of captain James cook and the Pacific as well as parts of Alaska. I'd like to go back to doctor Keanu Tsai again and there's so many other aspects of cook's legacy beyond just his interactions with native people and some of the issues we're talking about today and one thing that I think is important to note is that he was also very well known as a cartographer in making maps and I know there were even maps that he created all those years ago that we're still in use by some sailors as recently as like the 1970s even into the 1980s I think and what about that side of cook's legacy doctor sy, his ability to make maps and just some of these other contributions for better or worse that he made to the world. No, that's a good point because Hawaii would be impacted by that. So what cook brought to the mapping issue is longitude latitude, right? Bracketing. And that makes things more precise. You can find things. So when he mapped the Pacific, he also made it where other ships can find Hawaii to get to get refreshments to get water, get refurbished and then they go back out and then many of them were whalers. So Hawaii was inundated with the wailing

"Okay. So in listening to cook's interaction with people in Hawaii and of course, Australia, again, it sounds like a very different type of interaction there. In the Alaska area, what is the legacy now in terms of just people there, Alaska native people in and around the cook inlets, what's their view of captain cook? Yeah. And one thing to point out is already by this point. Russian fur traders were in the area. And so there were already people from Europe in Alaska. And so that's usually what we talk about either the Alaskan or about the Russians, their influence. And also went for the Americans came over. But cook's influence like him as a person. Is he really didn't do very much? Is it safe to say, is it safe to say that captain James cook is a minor historical figure in Alaska? As the person, yes. Okay. But for today, his legacy, his name persisting, it's really become more about carrying on the image because captain cook was a naturalist. And especially since 18th century. 18th century naturalism was really in tune with imperialism. Mainly as a way to lift up Western European peoples. At the expense of really indigenous peoples. And that's something that persists even today over in Alaska. Where you have this area where Alaska natives have been here forever. Yes. You have, it named after a person that did remarkably little in this area. It kind of brings about this image of that phrase that we hear time and time again, especially in gift shops. Of Alaska being the last frontier. This untouched land, where really there have been no actual people here. Benjamin, I'm sorry, we're going to have to take a break, but I definitely want to let you continue when we come back and learn more about cook's role as a naturalist and also just the lasting impact there of what's could possibly a minor historical figure, as you say, we'll be right back.

"That was both burum in Australia, talking with Native American calling producer, Andy Murphy. Doctor kanu sai, who's joining us from Honolulu, Hawaii, doctor syke, I'd like you to respond to Bose listening to Bo in describing cook's influence there. In Australia, and they're at the end, he gave you Hawaiian people a shout out for taking out cook and it's interesting to hear that perspective and then hear your perspective earlier that cook was in many ways revered by the people there on the islands of Hawaii. What's your reflection there? No, well, I know of what cook had done in the South Pacific. And that's what makes Hawaii story so unique because in these islands at that time in 1779, they didn't know the other places in the South Pacific other than Polynesian places where we originated from. But definitely what he shared, I completely agree. There's no doubt there. But what happened here was really quite unique in that it was, it was circumstances that created certain situations. Where it just so happens he's arriving during the time of a season of peace. And then he returns during a season of war. And yeah, hallease is so different. It has a unique history. Because the link definitely kingdom actually had a close relationship with the British. In fact, Queen Victoria was the godmother of prince Albert could, who was the son of king commitment a fourth in the 1850s and 60s. So that's the one thing that has a political scientist. It's important that we look at each individual case and let the information and evidence explain what happened and not that let's say I go in and see, you know what, what happened there must have happened here, so let me assume that and go from there. So it's an important test that we do in political science. It's what is called inter temporality, right? You can't judge us that he by today's standard, but try to understand it from the time that informed the situation. And it really just brings out more of a story to understand. Not necessarily to pick a side, but just to really understand it because for me, it's my great grand my fourth grade grandfather that built the blow to captain cook. And I look at that like captain cook made a bad decision. Nothing is a bad guy, because Mike creek, my fourth grade grandfather, they didn't see him as a bad guy. In fact, in the ship logs of captain cook and captain James. Sorry, James king. They actually wrote about my fourth grade grandfather. You know, let me just read something to you just to give you an indication. So now you're going to hear this from their perspective looking in, not from a Hawaiian perspective. So captain king, James king a mired, the Hawaiian nobility and described illegal appearance. These chiefs were men of strong and well proportioned bodies and of countenances remarkably pleasing kana email, especially whose portrait miss the Weber has drawn, was one of the finest men I ever saw. He was about 6 feet high at regular and expressive features with lively dark eyes, his carriage was easy, firm, and graceful. Now he follows up with we learned that 17 of their countrymen were killed in the first action at cavallo, and this is where captain cook died. Of whom 5 were chiefs and that Kane and his brother are very particular Friends were unfortunately of that number. So it gives you another perspective now from them looking at what happened. And also from Hawaiians looking at what happened. And that's an interesting point that history tends to reveal. Absolutely. Yeah, just really fascinating discussion and all these sources that you're able to cite. Doctor si, really, really enlightening. We have a comment on Facebook from Michael Collins, who says cook had a practice of kidnapping Polynesian navigators and forcing them to guide him to Pacific Islands, which he then claimed to have discovered, clam for England. In addition to the Hawaiian Islands and Australia, captain cook visited the cook inlet in Alaska. And to the folks listening in Alaska and anchorage, I'd like to ask a question, how does captain cook's legacy persist? Or what do you think about his name and reverence in that area? And let's talk a little bit more now about captain cook's influence there in Alaska. Joining us from anchorage is Benjamin Jason. He's a researcher at the Alaskan native heritage center. He's denied athabaskan and suk biak. Benjamin, welcome to the show. It's good to be here. You bet. Now, cook inlet is named after captain cook. What happened on his voyage to the inlet and in other parts of Alaska? Yeah, and so he was coming up to Alaska to find something called the northwest passage. Trying to find a way through Alaska all the way up to over to Europe. And whenever he came up to cook in lips or what's now known as cooking lips, he decided to he didn't think that that was going to be the way, but a lot of people on his ship did. And so kind of grudgingly, he ends up going up cooking lips. Realizing it's not the way to the passage. And then has to turn around again. And that's how we get the name turning in arm, because you have to turn around again. And what ended up happening was he did trade with people that could have been my ancestors. Do not have the basket over what's also now knowing known as point possession. And there's really an interesting narrative where they created some of my people's traded two dogs. For some iron and one of cook's men ends up killing one of the dogs. And that's really the extent of his visit over here in the cook inlet. Not really doing very much besides having to turn around again and to our amazement, killing one of our dogs for really no good reason but to test a gun. But right now, over in the cooking list, his name has gone on over in this area. This area that his tradition we call to cotton knew. By my people. And it's just really fascinating to see how someone who did so little in this area ended up having the entire place named after him, where his legacy goes on. Really in terms of that. That name carrying on by having to turn back around again and really kill it. And by just killing a dog with a gun, it's not really his name persisting over in this area. It's not really about what the person did. That's really the problem. It's kind of the symbol of imperialism that has become the issue. Okay. Now, what years was cook there at the cook inlet? Because we know that he perished in 17 79 about what time was he in Alaska. He was 17 78.

When James went, George Vancouver continued where captain cook left off, he came to Hawaii. And he arrived here in 1790, started his expedition in 1794 in the South Pacific. And he arrived in a way, and he eventually entered into an agreement with king commemorative I who was the successor to king colonial of Hawaii island. To enter into an agreement to join the British Empire. And that's when in 1794, the kingdom of Hawaii became a British protectorate. So and then eventually from being a British protector in 1794, Queen Victoria in 1843 recognized the Hawaiian kingdom as an independent state.

"Very high chief under collinear pool. His name is Kalani Manuel, also known as Kane. Captain cook on the head with a club. And another chief stabbed on. And that's when the muskets fire fired. And about 17 Hawaiians died. But also for marines and captain cook. So that person colonial alcohol Oahu is actually my fourth grade grandfather. So we kind of know that story quite well. What's interesting, too, though, I'm sorry, great. You had a question. Okay, so when this conflict occurred in captain cook and these other people were killed as well. Now, was this the season of war at this point? Had it turned over? Yeah, this was during the season of war. Okay. So let me just ask. So is it safe to assume that just purely by coincidence, the actual times of year when cook landed there on that island, just because it was either the season of peace versus the season where I mean, the way these historical events played out were heavily dependent just purely on that circumstances that circumstance of what time of year he landed. Well, absolutely. I mean, I would say that his demise was he was a victim of circumstance, not that there was an evil intent what he thought he was doing was what had worked in a South Pacific. It should work here. Well, maybe you can do that with a commoner, like a fisherman. You don't do that to a king. And that's what it got a little tense. Right, right. So, I mean, they were already on high alert just because it was that war season and wow. And this king was taken ransom like that. So then what happened next after the killing after the fighting ended? So here's the thing about Hawaii, always relationship with captain cook. It wasn't. A bad relationship. It was actually he was revered and respected. When he was traveling around the islands, right? So it was when he died. There was a situation where there had to be reconciling of the situation where they had to, what they called me resolve it. So what they did was the chiefs and the colonists would retrieve captain cook's body and they would treat his body as they would treat an elite or a chief. And what accustomed that was done is you have an underground oven, right? It's almost like a steam bid, not a fire. And you put the body in this oven to get the meat off. All the flesh. And all you have is the bones. And then you prepare the bones. You like the clean. And that is eventually some of the bones were given to captain king, I believe, who was under captain cook at that time. And then kept in the cocoa's given off the sea burial. Now, some other bones of captain cook were kept by the chiefs because that did not because it was bad. They kept it because he was revered as a friend. So it was that type of tradition that Hawaiian said. Now what's interesting here? Is you had a lieutenant called.

He put more than 120 English place names on the map, from mount edgecombe and Alaska to the bay of plenty in New Zealand. That doesn't count the many places named after him. But his colonial exploits were often at odds with the indigenous peoples already living in the places he landed.

Doctor psi, welcome to native America calling. Thank you for having me. Doctor James cook is revered around the world and explore a cartographer. How is he regarded in Hawaii? It's not that we don't celebrate anything regarding captain cook. He's a part of our history though. And he's known for it. Well, they say discovered he didn't discover Hawaii, but he arrived here. And so he also met his demise here. His demise, right? And that's an interesting story. We want to get into that for sure. But when Kirk, we cook first arrived there on the islands, what was life like for the people who lived there? Well, it was in these islands that were actually three separate kingdoms. The kingdom of kawaii, the kingdom of Maui and the kingdom of Hawaii. And they were very chiefly, very keenly oriented. In fact, anthropologists recently had now referred to these kingdoms along with Tonga as primary states or archaic states the way they're set up similar to nasal America. And so forth. So it was very feudal like and he had classes of people. So you had the king, the chiefs, or nobility, and the commoners. So when captain cook first arrived, it was on Kauai and 17. Before. So it was a year before he demise in 1779. And when he arrived in Hawaii on Kauai. They said he came across a fisherman and efficiently kind of just looked at him. I was like, well, that's a large ship. And that was that first connection that was made. And then he continued his journey. Now, when he came back, returned to Hawaii in 1779, he arrived at that same time that he first touched Kauai a year earlier. And this was a season called makahiki. So the two primary seasons within these islands under these kingdoms. And it was the season of peace and the season of war. When he arrived in Kauai, it was doing a season of peace. That's roughly four months. It runs around from March to I believe January and early February. So that is when there's festivities and is dedicated to the God London, right? Now, when that season ends, which is either late January early February, that's when it gets into the season of war. And that's on the kuka limo cohesive war God. And that's when wars take place, right? So when he showed up, just so happens he arrived during the season of peace. So he was very well received. And when he returned, he was also what we see because he arrives during that same kind. Now when he left to continue his journey, map being there, trying to find the northwest passage. His mass broke in the fore. So we had to come back to Hawaii for the island. And then he came into kill like a quarter, which is where he was before. But it was very different. Because people were looking at him like, what are you doing here? And some of the chiefs were getting a little anxious. So a couple of them actually stored his schooner off of his ship. And what captain cook did the following day was use a tactic that he used in the southern in the South Pacific. Where if something is taken is going to take something from them and hold them ransom, hold a ransom, and say, you give it, I'll give you back. You might think I give you your thing. Well, the one thing he did, which wasn't good, once he went to apprehend. King colonial pool. And he was a king of the way island. And at first, the king thought he was a friend.

The first one that came to mind is you need to have a process. And for most people, when you just get into podcasts and there's so much that you have to learn, there's so much that you're trying to kind of wrap your head around that it can just feel so overwhelming. I have found that my first 5 episodes are so I was just scrambling, just trying to figure it out as I'm going along. I mean, I was still figuring out best practices for me personally, all that sort of stuff. But I realized very quickly that there was a similar process that I was going through. And then what I did is I documented that process, created a template, and then from that point forward, it became my checklist to make sure that I had hit everything. Because there are certain things that you might not do with every guest, but you want to make sure that for the applicable guests, you do those things. So having some sort of a process that you document and create a template for that, that I think is incredibly valuable.

Wanted we're going to talk a little bit about his story, what he's learned throughout the ages. I think as we're recording, if I do remember correctly, you have like 60 ish episodes out right now, rob? I have about 30 episodes. 30, 30, 30. I doubled it. Oops. All right. You don't need to be by the time this podcast episode launches. Maybe there will be 60. We technically have over ten months of content recorded. So before we get started into the interview, I'll just mention that. Some people are like, that's nuts. But on the other hand, there's always being behind the 8 ball, always like procrastinating, saying, oh shit, tomorrow I have an episode due, I haven't started. I'm going to need ten hours of editing, and that's a stressful way to live. So I'd rather have plenty of content. Yeah, in fact, I got myself on my show. I have 6 months worth of content. Ernie created and ready to go. And in fact, before I even started this newest season of contenders wanted, I had like 8 months of content and I already had 5 episodes already edited, so the all I had to do was show notes in some of the cleanup stuff at the very end. That's awesome. I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you said that because I think that one of the reasons that a lot of podcasters quit is because it feels stressful for them because they're always kind of behind the 8 ball. They're always trying to play catch up. Having those oh shit moments. But you, on the other hand, you're months ahead of the game. And it's like easy breezy and the podcast probably isn't stressful. Let's jump into your story. Your bio itself is already in the show notes. I always do that for our listeners so that.

"Steve cook tells us about the real origin of where 1% came from in the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs. You have a kind of a riot kick-off, if you will. Let's keep it in the context by 1940s, standards, maybe a riot by Ferguson or Minneapolis standards, probably not a riot. But what ends up happening is get a lot of California highway patrol called in. You get more bikers arrested. And you get the whole thing kind of quelled. But when it's all said and done, the AMA, at least somebody from the AMA says, hey, 99% of the bikers in attendance were law abiding citizens, 1% were outlaws, 1% caused all the problems. And from that you have these groups specifically the hell's angels that take that as a badge of honor. You know that they evolve shortly after Hollister and actually one of the members of the Po bob is one of the founding members of the angels. Welcome to game of crimes..

"Want to you can just possess them you you turn in really two right because you turn in one as a as a an appearance in one to slice all right so as i read these. If anybody's got comments raise your hand will Will go around. We can address those The second overall world provider vacuum packaging may not be compromised in any way. This means no trimming no injecting opening or resealing the providers packaging prior to the inspection. Basically saying that you're gonna be sent meat from one of these companies. That will talk about here in a second. And you can't do anything to those until you get to the contest and it's inspected. Everybody agree with that Paraphrasing of that rule and then go ahead what. What if it's in butcher paper one of my custom meat markets does it in butcher paper. Real hand opened up you. Can't you would not you wouldn't be able to use it anyway. Of course so you have to buy which you be able to use it you you have to answer from the approved vendors and your local meat martin guy is not an approved vendor number three all stakes in possession must be inspected to meet official requirements. Any stake not meeting the official requirements of inspection by the contest officials shall be removed from the cook site So this would mean you're not allowed to have a rabbi and then i think there was a thickness requirement to that each stake had to meet. So there's some kind of general beat inspection. Let me have to find this. Just so i can talk to doug here okay so please answer the phone please. Who was that. Who has what town phone shows. Do not fly well but oh my god. I'm really holding it together. Because i go nuts here. Please contact the kcbs with any of buffalo certified providers here so doug you can own at this point you can only get steaks from the following creek stone farms and double our ranch. Which is a snake river farms brand. You have to buy your saqlain those two. That's it well. What if my meat market only carries creeks and they specialize in christmas day. You have to go to creek. Stone far farms dot com. And then. i'm sure there's a link or you'll go to the national grilling tournament website. And it'll say meet vendors and then you click on the one you want which would probably take you to an online link and then you order it that way. You're not gonna get it from your house anywhere whether they're creek stone the or not. There's a butcher shop. In san antonio that specializes in creek stone. And that's actually whereabout to stakes last week. Well guess what you show up to the Competition with those even a treat on your audience. So it's going to be a the ones that aren't approved are they gonna have like a will barrel in like in monty python where they take them out. Take your dead bodies out that that don't are an approved you know. They'll they'll probably turn. They probably have some type of fluid in their hands and they turned it right over on the steak and spoil it immediately so that way you can't cheat but it has to be removed. Not yeah you'll have to take it somewhere else. I guess but you you can't use. I thought it was funny. That's what that means. That's funny to me all right. So now we get into the theory dead number one all case to be as master series rules and regulations sal applied the following except number one strip steak ancillary. Larry permit the use of any heat source. Gas electric charcoal seuss feed would solar cast iron skillet over direct heat. Direct over open. Kohl's sears all torch etc. Anything is open we like this. Doug boom yes john yes i love it absolutely. Love it and rusty. Of course. I think that's the sandbox part of it the style of much. Yeah me too. number two. In addition to the optional garnish optional garters event provided foil disc. Maybe used and even be used in addition to the approved. Kcbs garnish clear. Food film was also allowed to cover slices in turn box and will not be considered a foreign object. Anybody have any issues or comments on that rusty. I it's the same old stuff. I think i liked the candidate that i think it's cool. So do we think is a group We'll start with russia. You get in a kcbs contest. Garnish optional is not optional. You're not going to not garnish box. So do you think that people will not garnish a steak box or will they Automatically pick that part up as the case it'd be us absolutely one hundred percent we brett galloway and essay was disheartened on us about not doing a Garnish at all. Don't do it. don't do it don't do it. And then kyle mattis chef ski and all those guys start doing it and then everyone followed suit within the week. So yeah absolutely all right doug you think they'll be box. Garnishing is a guy from texas. I would start off. Not garnishing john. Do you think they'll be garnishing. Rossi's more expert than me but my opinion is that the foil desk. Sea still is going gonna have some traction as it goes into. This people are familiar with it. And i think it's gonna live. I think we're going to see fifty fifty. I think we're gonna see people not garnishing. And i think it'll be more accepted and i think it will help back. Break the back on the garner's program in general perhaps want to clarify that. I met with ancillaries at the not the stakes. So i think what you're gonna run into is if there's a lot of kcbs cooks that are gleaning onto this right off the bat. There's going to be a lot of garnishing in the box if there's just a lot of competitive steak fans that want to cook competitive stake in this weekend that happens to be. Kcbs national state championship. Then you might not see a lot of garnish. The other thing. I'll say is this the first month. This thing is taking place if the majority of boxes that are winning or garnishing. Guess what there's going to be garnishing in the box of course because people want to do. What's winning number. Three cooks are allowed to enter as men who skipped one yes cooks are allowed to share the same cooking device however each team must cook their own entry in its entirety sharing of duties during the preparation. Cook or ternan is prohibited. Doug you're okay with that total bullshit. How are they getting control. That there's no way to. There's no way to police that no way and cooking at the same time. Negative no rusty. Yeah they're not going to be able to do anything about it. It'll happen one hundred percent of hopping out the gate and it'll get worse and worse as time goes on because people know that they're not looking and it will happen hundred percent john. I'm not over thinking that. I'm all for that rule. You know i got my six burner weber out there gregor on your and my on my end. There's burners off between us. We're good let's cook and turn this in so is the thought that there's gonna be some better stay cook in the camp and that they're the ones that are actually cooking all of the stakes for everybody that what they're trying to prohibit like everybody can you can just bring one gill grill for sake of ease but everybody. That's cooking on. That has the cook their own stakes in the fear is that there's gonna.

"They're here to experience my food. So, you know, thinking about what makes sense for me and my kitchen on my taste and you know, really thinking outside. Outside the recipes. I mean, I think recipes are Relatively new invention for home cooks. I mean, you know, I don't know if you watched your mom follow recipes growing up, but I I certainly didn't I mean, she flipped through southern living magazines and looks at recipes for cakes. But all of the savory cooking in my house was done from, you know, from taste and smell, And you know, just the things that she had already always eaten. Um, So I think that we have gotten away from just cooking from the hip on really trusting our instincts because we almost we know too much. We have too much information. To follow our own gut. Okay, But you need to be able to communicate to your cooks, for instance, in the restaurant setting and you know to folks, we're just your neighbors. Whoever's it Oh, hey, baby. How do you make this thing? So how do you How did you How do you teach people? What? You know what you see what you feel. And how do you sort of give them the confidence to Trust themselves. Even it's not exactly like what you told them, right. Well, I think you know when you're building Any number of dishes in the kitchen. There's so many things that you do the same every single time. If I'm making a sauce or stew or a suit or a braise, always start by sweating the aromatics, you know that's that's the stuff. I think every home cook and every line cook should understand. You know there. Steps to be taken. And there are rules that we always followed, like season all the way through. You know, you can't just slap salt at the end of something. If you do it tastes like salt on top of it, and not in it. Um, you know, the thing that I preach over and over is just taste all the time and, you know, season judiciously throughout but season all the way throughout and keep in mind that you can add, but you can't take away. So there, you know, basic fundamental rules that we follow. You know, One of my rules that I preach over and over is like acid acid in the end. Acid in the beginning, you know, finish with brightness, even if it's a really, you know, meant to be a heavy, hearty dish, like a touch of brightness at the end, really elevates it and makes it even more appealing. So while I don't focus on, you know, following the recipe to a T, you know, there are.
