It looks marvelous. I've got so much. She says, the person who cut my hair said, when you come in after six weeks, it's like most people's eight weeks or 10 weeks. So I get a lot of hair. Hey, when I go in and get a haircut, it takes like three minutes. I'm in and out. There you go. You sure that's a haircut? Be nice now. I'm just starting this.

Of all the 911 calls, I guarantee you nobody, nobody has taken a call like this before that I'm aware of ever, anywhere. Looking forward to hearing this one. Holy cow. There's gonna be a couple. This one, I don't know if I can make an entire case out of it, but I've listened to it. And just the sheer confusion on the call taker, they've never been presented with this before. So we'll have to talk about that. But guys, we just did our warden of the throne. It's a unique little thing we're doing now. Rather than just taking one topic, Murph brings two topics. I bring two topics. We're allowed to get into things that are catching our interest for the previous month or some stories. So we just did one talking about Philadelphia and the looting, Iran, and what they call the Iranian experts initiative. People have had their security clearance suspended. You talk about some tragic cases up in New York, the Bronx, baby dying at daycare center, and the recent death of that CEO by a sexual predator who should have still been in prison, but wasn't. Right, in Baltimore. So those are a lot of good things. We've got Q &A coming up, 911, what's your emergency case of the month? So guys, all good stuff. You don't hear this anywhere else, but on patreon .com slash Game of Crimes. But the other place you gotta be though too, Murph, our favorite mafia queen with the iron fist with the velvet glove. You gotta head on over there, watch what Sandy Salvato is doing with our Game of Crimes fans page.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain because that's one of our favorite people happening over on Game of Crimes fans. It's a lot of fun. There's a lot of humor there. A lot of dark humor too. If you saw some of the stuff people have posted, I hope you guys, I hope your healthcare plan supports you with an employee assistance program. I'm telling you. I don't know what you're talking about. Here's what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about now because you know what time it is. Guess what? I'm gonna ask you, do you know what time it is? Guess what time it is? Come on, give me a clue. It's time for Small Town Police Blotter. Hey, this because in honor of our guest that's coming up, Mark Cameron, the author, we'll talk about him in a second, but he went from Texas, lives in Alaska. So I thought we should have an Alaska theme. There you go. For our Small Town Police Blotter. So Murph, gotta ask you. Yes. This comes out of the Alaska Dispatch News. You know, a lot of fishery stuff, a lot of crabbing, a lot of lobster stuff, a lot of that goes on in Alaska, doesn't it? Mm -hmm, mm -hmm. So you have an idea. You go, hey, we're gonna take a crabbing boat and we're gonna convert it into a floating bar and strip club. What could go wrong, right? Oh my gosh. So 54 -year -old Darren Byler of Kodiak and his 46 -year -old wife, Kimberly, own the Wild Alaskan, a former crabbing boat that's been converted into a floating bar and strip club. Apparently it's doing pretty well. They've been running the business since June, but now they're in serious legal trouble and Murph, it's not for stripping. Uh -oh, what is it? This gives new meaning to, you know, why this is on a crabbing boat. So if you're out there floating, you have to provide facilities for people to use, right? So if they use the facilities, number one and number two, you should probably find a way to take care of that other than dumping it into the ocean. Oh, come on, come on. So they were just indicted by a federal grand jury for improper disposal of human waste after they were caught dumping feces from their bathroom into the harbor, as they say in Maine, into the harbor. Instead of taking the waste tanks to the proper places on shore, they both could be facing up to one year in jail and $25 ,000 in fine, but that's not the worst part. The worst part is the Coast Guard said they lied about dumping the tanks, and if they're convicted of that, making false statements to the Coast Guard investigators, that could get them five years in prison and $250 ,000 in fines. Cha -ching. I tell you what, you gotta do a lot of stripping to make that kind of money. It's a shitty situation they got themselves in. It's terrible. This whole thing just stinks. It stinks, man, stinks to high heaven. Tell you what, you know, you had a turd in one hand and wishes in the other. Anyway, we could go lots of places with that, so. These people didn't move to Alaska from Florida, did they? I don't believe so. Thank goodness. Hey, but I went back into the archives too, so I pulled some articles out of the Alaska News Archives, the Fairbanks Daily News Minor. This comes to us January 21st, 1955, and I'm telling you, the stories are hilarious. These are quick hits. And not always, but this is what's in Alaska. This is what's important in Alaska, January of 1955. The Tokyo police hire pretty hostesses. Tokyo police, grieved by complaints that their headquarters is unattractive, have assigned four pretty girls to meet people at the building's two entrances. Officials have also ordered the women to take charm courses. That is what's important in the Alaska, you know, the Fairbanks Daily News Minor. The other thing you gotta do here, be prepared. And this comes to us, it's out of Tucson, Arizona, but in the Fairbanks Daily News Minor. This is 1955, a 15 -year -old boy with a loaded .38 caliber pistol in his waistband was removed from high school class here by police. His explanation for carrying a gun, a couple of those teachers were giving me a hard time. Well, geez, okay. Okay, but this one though, this one has gotta be, this is it. This is St. Monaface. I believe this is Alaska, no, Manitoba. This is St. Monaface, Manitoba. All right. Police were certain the worst of the winter is upon them. Pete Nikoluk has started his annual jail term for vagrancy. Nikoluk has spent the past 21 winters in jail on vagrancy charges. Police says he always manages to get arrested just before the coldest part of the winter sets in. Who says this guy's not smart? Three hots and a cot, and I get through the toughest part of winter. Oh my goodness. That's, well, you know, that's prior planning, I guess. Prior planning prevents piss -poor performance, the 6Ps. There you go. Yep. You ask my children, they'll tell you what the 6Ps are. That's right. Murph, now, we'll finish up with this. I went and looked at what are some of the strangest laws in Alaska, and these are definitely Alaskan. It is illegal to whisper in someone's ear why they are moose hunting. Okay. It's legal to shoot bears. However, it is illegal to wake a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph. Why would you wake a sleeping bear? Isn't that the truth? Here's another thing, and I don't get it. It is considered an offense. It's illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose. What? Why? Huh. Apparently, it's also illegal to sell stun guns to children. That one, I kind of get that makes sense. Well, if you're in Fairbanks, Alaska, if you love a vuvuzula, remember what they did during the World Cup. You know, you blow those things that make a lot of noise. Those annoying things? Yeah, it's illegal to blow a horn in a manner that disrupts the peace. Good. Yep. So, it's illegal to fatten up a sheep, cow, or pig within the city limits of Fairbanks. Are we talking about people or animals? Well, maybe it's meatball, and you'll have to listen to her. You'll have to listen to our warden of the throne. All right, it is also a crime to speak so loud that you offend a sensitive person enough to make him, her, or her leave if you're in Fairbanks. What? Okay, well, hey, be nice. That's just be nice. And you can only carry a concealed slingshot if you have received the appropriate license. The license. Do you have a license for that slingshot? All right. Oh, okay. I didn't know you had to have that. But Murph, this is the craziest one. This reminds me of an episode of you and JP on Narcos where you were accused of doing this, not a moose, but it is an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane. Well, you know, I gotta agree with that, but have you seen how big a moose is? How do you push it anywhere? Well, how do you get it into the damn airplane to begin with is what I wanna know. And who wants a moose, a pissed off moose, in their airplane? Uniquely Alaskan. So Mark Cameron, as we get into this, and again, we wanna thank our buddy, Patrick O 'Donnell, Cops and Writers. Go listen to his podcast. Hooked us up with him, but Mark Cameron is an interesting dude, moved from Weatherford, Texas to Alaska. And we're gonna talk about his book that was just released. It's an Arliss Kutter novel, Breakneck, by Mark Cameron. But the interesting thing too, Murph, was he wrote the last seven Tom Clancy novels. And this is a guy that used to be a marshal, which most of the reports were saw bad guy, put him in jail, you know? Not extensive reports in the marshal service. Saw a fugitive, arrested, same.

Animal Radio
A highlight from 1243. Should You Trust Pet DNA Tests?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets, this is Animal Radio featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer, Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Do you know what kind of pet you have? Well, certainly if it's a cat or dog, you probably know the difference. But do you know what kind of breed? Is it a mutt? What is making up the DNA of your dog or your cat? And do you care? A lot of people do. There's about 10 different tests on the market right now where you can send in saliva or cheek spittle, I guess? Yeah, cheek swab. It's actually the epithelial. So it's the cells that you're getting off the cheek, not necessarily the spit. Epithelial? Is that what you said there? I learned so much from you. And they'll tell you if it's what kind of breed it is or if it's made up of several different breeds. You did this, Judy. I think your results came back like lion and elephant. They weren't even dogs. It was so bizarre. She's full grown now. She weighs nine pounds. And it came back all these St. Bernard's, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois. I thought, really? So that was a cheek swab. And then when I did the blood... Oh, you did a blood test too? I did a blood. It came back Jack Russell, miniature pincher and Maltese. And are you going with that? Oh, definitely. She's definitely Jack Russell. It came out 50 % Jack Russell. And that's what she is. Now, why did you want to know this information? Well, first of all, I didn't want a Jack Russell because I did my research and I know how hyper they are. And I'm not that hyper person. I want a more laid back dog. And so I did my research and got her from a rescue when she was eight weeks old. They said she was a Chihuahua, but there was no Chihuahua in this girl. And I questioned that as she got a little bit older. And I thought, okay, I got to find out. And I wanted to know what she was because people ask, people look at her, and everybody had their guesses. And it's like, I don't know. And I wanted to know what my dog was. But would it be safe to say you didn't want a Jack Russell, but you love your dog? Oh, I would not trade her for the world. I'll keep that little 50 % Jack. So the blood test really made little difference in anything, really, except telling people. Just what it was. It was kind of like bragging rights to know what my dog is and be able to say when people ask. That's basically why I did it. But then again, still, at least I know if there's anything I should look at, you know, with the breeds that she may be predisposed to down the line. You mean like a sickness or a disease? Health? Yeah. If she starts doing something or something happens and I can say, well, that's typical of this breed. So what kind of diseases and sicknesses are typical of, what did you say? Was it Jack Russell? Jack Russell, 50%. And a Min Pin? Well, we can see a lot of things with knees, so we can see patellar luxations. She's had two knee surgeries, two back legs. But that also fits with a lot of other small breeds. But, you know, there can be some host of skin diseases, allergies that we may not have like a specific test for. You know, but there are some conditions in some breeds, like say golden retrievers have a genetic linked with seizures. So if you had a yellow large breed dog and you didn't know what it was and it started developing seizures. And if I knew this dog was a golden retriever, I'd say, wow, you know, sometimes golden retrievers can be very challenging to manage with seizures. And we really have to use every means at our disposal to try to get those seizures under control. So it wouldn't change necessarily, you know, would I treat or not treat, but it might make us say, okay, our expectations are this is going to be a more challenging patient to try to manage. So that's one example. But there's a whole tons of things, you know, cataracts are inherited, heart diseases with certain breeds can be inherited, and kidney problems with cats. There's a type of polycystic kidney disease, a kidney disease in Himalayans and Persian type cats that can cause different problems. So, you know, there's all sorts of things that there are genetic tests for. It doesn't mean your dog or cat will get them. It just may mean they have some genetic tendency or genetic marker for that. So I see these online tests and but you do it in your office there? Do veterinarians offer these tests? Yeah, I mean, not everyone is going to do that. But we we do like that. And it's one is it's kind of the ooh, cool factor, you know, so you can, you know, have a party and people will ask and you can actually have some answer that sounds, you know, like you didn't just make this up. That's one important thing. But I do think it can help guide some decisions on awareness and potentially your pet's health down the road. So I wouldn't say it will make me do something different for a patient as far as putting them to sleep. But I do think it's important information to be armed with to know what you need to worry about to watch for in your pet's life. I agree. And if you can't afford it and somebody asks what kind of dog you have, say snuffle up against it really will throw the middle. It'll be different. So we're going to talk to a lady today, a doctor, Dr. Lisa Moses. She practices pain and palliative care at the Angel Animal Medical Center in Boston. And she says you may not want to bet the farm when you do one of these tests, as sometimes the information may not be accurate. And I wanted to find out about this. How important is it? Are people making decisions with bad information? So we'll have her on the show in just a few minutes to talk about that. Also today, we're going to be talking to the folks over at Smoke Alarm Monitoring. What's this guy's name? It's spelled really weird. Z -S -O -L -T. Zolt. Is that Hungarian? What is that? Sounds like it could be. He says our pets are starting fires. He sells smoke alarms for a living. And he says that our pets are actually, while they're unattended, starting fires in our house. See, I hide the matches. You do? Little delinquents. Oh my goodness. Yes. What do you expect? But first, your calls toll free from the free animal radio app for iPhone and Android. Let's go to Gary. Hey, Gary. How are you? I'm very good, sir. How are you? Very good. Where are you calling from today? You have kind of that southern twang. North Carolina. North Carolina. How is North Carolina today? It's kind of warm. It's not unbearably hot, but it's a warm day. What's going on with the animals? I have the whole team here for you. Okay. Well, I've been listening to your program lately over the last several weeks and was interested in the discussion that I've heard about yeast infections, skin conditions, and the treatments. And then also, there was also somewhat of a separate discussion about the use of human products on animals and how effective they can be, or harmful, or whatever the case may be. And I wanted to tell you about my little guy. I'll give you a little background on him, a little of the tale of the tape. He's approximately eight years old, as far as we know. He's a Yorkie mix, he's a small guy, just a shade under eight pounds, and I found him abandoned out in the country. And he was in pretty bad shape. He was missing hair and had a lot of parasites and skin infections, yeast, and all that. And we've been battling it for nearly three years now, but he's made much improvement, just great improvement. I kind of took it upon myself to use a product that's designed for human females, actually, who might have that kind of affliction, and rubbed it liberally on the elephant skin areas of my dog. And after doing that for three or four days in a row, it really seemed to help clear it up. What do you think of that, Doc? Well, we have to be precise when we talk about different products, because there's some products that actually can have harmful ingredients in them, and some won't hurt, and actually have active ingredients that might be appropriate. So I'm going to back up, because when we talk about elephant skin, and kind of that thickened skin, like for anybody who's not seen this in dogs, it typically is when their skin gets real thick, leathery, they lose the hair in the area, and it actually, from a distance, looks like elephant skin. And that's a combination of what we call hyperpigmentation, so the skin turns dark, and lichenification, which is where the skin becomes thick, and there's extra layers, if you will, that kind of are put on top of the skin. Those things happen from a couple possibilities, and we can see it with allergies, but really with things like yeast and bacterial infections. So it sounds like you're certainly barking up the right tree there, but the cautions I have with some of the female yeast products that are used for vaginal yeast infections, there are some that actually contain anesthetics. A vagus cell, for example, contains an ingredient called benzocaine. And this can be highly - Well, that's actually what I used. I used the generic, but yeah, you're on the right tree there. Okay. Yeah, so actually, benzocaine can cause toxicities in both dogs and cats. So just licking it off their skin, it can actually be toxic to the red blood cells, causes what we call hemoglobinemia. So if it contains that ingredient, I would say, put it back on the shelf and save it for your wife in the household. But there are certainly, say, athlete's foot creams that contain chlorotrimazole, which is an antifungal. In that, we've used that on surface yeast infections. But the reality is, if we've got that kind of change in the skin, most of those pets actually need kind of a two -pronged approach. So the topicals only get you so far, and they really need to be on some kind of oral or systemic therapy. So most of the pets that I have with that kind of skin can take a course of maybe three months to get them improved, controlling the itch, controlling the infection. If they've got yeast or bacteria, then we put them on either an antibiotic or an oral yeast form, like ketoconazole, per se.
The HUMAN Training
Fresh update on "eight weeks" discussed on The HUMAN Training
"Yeah. The third weeks and the two weeks evals, they're always in a group setting. Whereas the first week evals, I do those one on one. To see how the dog is doing and things. But yeah, definitely. I feel like it helps them want to do better and do cool things. And then in turn, they end up wanting to show those cool things to the owners. So it's not just about doing obedience and being monotonous. It's also about showing the cool things that their dog can do. And I think that that's a really cool thing. And it keeps you from falling into the trap of, oh, we'll just fix it next week. Oh God, yes. Cause that's a trap. Because once you fall into it, and then you're putting off another dog, would this dog double that week? A lot of trainers say that. And I can think of three trainers off the top of my head, not here, but from the previous company that I used to work with and for. And with a three week board and train, I found they did it all the time. Well, we'll worry about that next week. Today's Wednesday, for example. Well, why don't we worry about today, tomorrow and Friday, and then next week we won't have to address it. So they would kick a command or something out till next week. That's not fair to the dog. If the dog could learn it in two weeks instead of three weeks, then why didn't the owner just do a two week board and train? And then you see it the second week, well, we still have next week. You just sacrificed two weeks of board and train. Now you're stealing from the person because you're, oh God, that's why I work with that company. Is they'll do that and then they give the dog another trainer. Yeah. Oh, we'll do it the next week. Oh, here you go. Here's the dog you don't know anything about. And that I haven't trained and I kept kicking everything off. So now I'm kicking it off to you. Good luck to get a three week standard with a one week of training. What's scary with things like that is then they can, when an owner comes in and says, has my dog made progress? They can lie and say, no, they haven't made progress on whatever it is they were supposed to work on three weeks ago. And so, yeah, that's not good. And we train dogs from other companies that have gone through other three week, two week programs. Six to eight week programs in seven months. Literally about a month and a half ago, one did a three week board and train with somebody. The dog did not literally even understand what leash pressure was. You can't even walk a dog if they don't understand leash pressure, right? So that means they weren't walking the dog. I mean, the dog would have at least grasped leash pressure in three weeks. Maybe he wouldn't have a heel if you're not a good trainer, but he would have understood leash pressure. You should know that in like two days. That's exactly what I mean. That's what I mean. That's why I could tell that the dog literally had not been worked in three weeks. He just probably sat in a kennel or a crate or whatever for three weeks or was in someone's home because it was obviously an in-home trainer, not obviously, but it was an in-home trainer. So that means the person never took them outside their home. So they were working some obedience just in their living room because they never did put a leash on the dog because the dog, you put the leash on, he's like, what the hell is this and what do you do? I mean, literally had no grasp of the leash. That's another reason why we do evaluations is to make sure nothing like that happens. It's also a big reason why we have this giant facility, all the people, all the, we always make jokes. We can just do this out of our house. Like, yeah, but you want to get the full package, you want to get, you know, 40, 50 other dogs to train around every day. Get this dog socialized with fat dogs, skinny dogs, excitable dogs, lazy dogs, anxious dogs, angry dogs. All the dogs in different breeds. I mean, there is a lot of value into that because you can take, I mean, we see it all the time, our area for aggressive dogs. That's where the aggressive dogs sleep at night rather quickly. They get used to being in each other's presence so they don't try to walk through the fences to each other. It's wild. You put them in the gym room, they will bark for 10 hours. You put them in 10 by 10s, three of them all by 10s. Yeah. So if a trainer is training from their home and they're working with three dogs, it'll look like that dog's been fixed. Well, that's because he's not aggressive to those two dogs because he's used to them. He's used to them. Yeah.

The Truth About Dominance-Based Dog Training
"Laura, what are we talking about today? We're talking about dominance theory, alpha male -ing, and also going the other direction, not purely positive, but the two different spectrums of the dog training world, and what dominance training looks like, or dominance theory, or... Right. So I guess a great, for someone listening that's not familiar with dominance dog training, there's a misnomer out there that wolf packs, real wolf packs, they have the dominant female, the dominant male, and everybody else is... The alpha. Right. And they dominate everyone, and everyone does what they say. In real life, wolf packs that are natural in the wild, not... Natural wolf packs, not wolf packs put together by the United States government as transplants to a new environment. They family are centered. There's a mom and dad, babies, and they grow up and become bigger dogs. So that is a family pack. They really are a family pack. And there's not... It's as dominant as a mom and a dad trying to train their children. Children. That's how dogs... Obviously, they use their teeth to do different things. And if you see, even dogs, if you see a mama dog with her puppies up, that's why you need to keep the puppies with them till at least eight weeks, is she will correct her puppies correctly to teach them how to bite properly, how to do things that they should be doing. And she uses her paw and her mouth to do that. But she does not hurt them. Right. So... But a lot of people take that to be meaning we need to dominate the dog. We need to have power over the dog. We need to make them... We need to hold the dog down like the alpha in the pack would have. Yes. Is a good example. And we just posted a YouTube video the other day, yesterday actually, like 40 seconds long on that theory of some dog trainers, if they deal with a reactive dog or just any dog. And a lot of times you'll see it with a dog with a strong will. But usually you'll see it with a reactive dog, a dog that's aggressive towards other dogs or people, but that would not go well for what they're doing. They'll do what's called an alpha roll, meaning they force the dog onto its side in a position of submission and hold the dog down on its side and one hand or knee on the dog's head and force the dog to lay there until it submits. So that kind of training is definitely dominance. They're trying to establish dominance over the dog. Basically they're asking the dog to be submissive. 24 -7. And who the hell wants a submissive dog? No, not me. I mean, really. Do I want to wreck my dog's personality and make my dog a submissive dog for the sake of getting them to not lunge and bark at other dogs? I mean, I get that they're trying to get the dog to stop doing that, but they never taught the dog to stop doing that. The dog's just not doing it in your presence because they know you will not tolerate it and what you're going to do to them. It doesn't mean the dog's not aggressive anymore, right? And they're not digging into why the dog's doing it because most of it's fear -based, not all of it, but you need to teach a dog a better behavior and also let them figure out for themselves that this is not a bad situation.
The HUMAN Training
Fresh update on "eight weeks" discussed on The HUMAN Training
"It's like, what the hell? At least one of those a month. Crazy. And I just lied. The problem is with a puppy, you don't know. Yeah. Just from looking at it, from someone walking up to a dog, you don't know. Yeah. Well, he knew it was young, but he didn't realize it was seven. Maybe seven weeks old, not eight weeks old, not three, that's insane. So now, you know, one of the things that we do that you're a huge part of, Julie, is kind of what you mentioned, Wyatt. Now, we have trainers that are working with the dog, so how do we make sure that the trainers are training? How do we make sure quality control standards, right? Yeah. So what do we do there, Winnie? Well, I mean, to some degree, there's some micromanaging going on. There has to be. Yeah. Just to make sure that everybody stays in line, I mean, I guess that's always going to be the problem. When you start to grow as a company and you have more people, you want to make sure everybody is staying to the standard that you're wanting to provide for clients or for people. For us, for me, at least as a lead trainer, my main job is to make sure that they are keeping up to the standards of certain obedience, right, every week and things like that. And so I make sure that they... Because we know average dogs, like Tuesdays, they start on Monday. By Tuesday, they should know how to do X. By Thursday, they should be able to do X, Y, and Z. Do you have them master it? No, but we know about where the average dog should be. Yes. Right. And so we're doing trainer evals. That's really what it's called. We're just evaluating the trainers every week to make sure that they are where they should be, where their dogs. And then we acknowledge that sometimes we're going to get a dog that's extremely anxious or extremely aggressive or whatever the case is. So we kind of change the expectations for that dog, but we still want to see progress. And so it's all about making sure that they're getting where they should be. In a week's time frame, since we do board and trains and the dogs go home on Friday, we got to make sure that in those five days they're making enough progress that they're going to be able to work on some things over the weekend with owners and then move on to something else the next week. Right. Yeah. And stay on pace at the end of two, three or four weeks, whatever the training program is that that dog's in, that we've achieved the goals that the owner has. And people just naturally drift, pick up bad habits. They do. We humans are so good about that. They're saying, screw this training, I'm going to do it my way. They will subconsciously shift their training style out of line with what you want them to do. So our evaluations kind of are also geared to keep that from happening. So that way we're consistently, we're being consistent in how we're training. I do love the evals though, because I feel like it makes the trainers want to do better. It makes them want to do better with their dogs. Kind of in a group format.

A highlight from Preventing Terrorism and Illegal Entry: Border Security
"Some of this stuff, like I'm almost speechless. Like I can't just keep yelling about it anymore. And it's that feeling of like, oh God, here we go again. Right. But like, that's what it feels like. It's just a never ending cycle of like disappointment because it's, and again, like it's the simple, like one plus one equals two. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick along with Mike Speraza. We are actually recording on September 11th. So Mike, we're going to start a little bit with September 11th. We're going to end with Buffalo Bills talk because tonight, Monday night football in New Jersey to play the New York Jets. I always thought that was fun. Yeah. We decided to record this morning in case we have a couple too many pops tonight and we don't want to get in at seven 30, eight o 'clock in the morning. So that's the reason for this one. Hopefully out of celebration, let's not even talk about the other reason we might have a couple more than usual. That's right. That's right. Mike, so September 11th, 22 years ago, since the Twin Towers fell, America attacked. Couldn't stop thinking this past weekend about how united we became after that attack, yet how divided we are right now under this current administration. First, where were you on the day, September 11th? I was, I believe in third grade and I was in school on Grand Island at the time. I remember, not very much, but I do remember the school, of course, and I'm sure your kids, Mike, probably dealt with this if they were in school. Everything was shut down and you had to have your parents come pick you up. They wouldn't bus kids home. I just remember utter chaos, really, is what I remember about it. And it's something I feel like we may never feel again, hopefully, right? Knock on wood, we never feel that again. But it was, and days after it, because we had, I think, a day or two of school off after that, because I believe it was a Tuesday, and it was just crazy watching that unfold on TV. And again, I was a young kid, so I didn't really understand the moment that it was, but it was wild to watch on TV. You see people jumping, you see planes continuing to hit. I mean, it was craziness. Couldn't make sense of it. I remember, so I was a career changer a few times, and that was in the midst of a career change for me to go into teaching. And I was just about to start my fall, which would have been basically my last of three semesters to get another master's in this time in education. And on 9 -11, I had gotten invited to an interview to a nice little Catholic school out in Alma because they needed a math teacher. So, and I got this tip by a Canisius College professor. So I said, hmm, I remember calling my wife, in fact, a few days prior to that, saying, hey, they need a math teacher. And she kind of eyes me up and down, and you know my wife, she's like, hmm. Yeah, you could probably do that. I could help you with the lesson plans and so on. So anyway, I go for the interview on 9 -11, and it's like 7 .30 or so in the morning, and I ended up getting that position. So I went home, and it was funny because Mikayla, my older daughter, was actually only two and a half, just going on, or no, she had just turned three years old. And Maddie, my youngest, was like eight weeks old. And I'm with my father -in -law, who has now passed, rest his soul, wonderful man, Al. He was with the baby and with Mikayla. And I remember saying, hey, yeah, turns out I'm gonna go out and work as a math teacher out in Alma while I'm in school for this last semester. I'll go to classes at night. You know, and we just chatted a little. I walked into the family room, and I see the TV, and I'm like, hmm, plane hits tower. And I'm like, that's crazy. And of course, right away, I think, private plane. You just, you know, small private plane. You hear of these accidents, you know, an engine failure, whatever it was.

He's leading an effort to bring those who normally work off of tips to a $13 per hour minimum wage. Right now the bill calls for it to be phased in over five years but it's likely to change to three.

Now the State Department says this is a good time and some good news when it comes to those wait times. We were able to reduce our passport processing times two by weeks. That means now you'll see an eight to eleven week delay in normal passport requests and five to seven weeks for an expedited passport. Matt Pierce, Director of Passport Services at the State Department says what led to the big slowdown? A very high demand level for passports. He says the hiring of additional staff and overtime has helped. goal Our at the end of the year is to be at six to eight weeks for routine processing and two to three weeks for expedited. He says you should still apply for that passport six to eight months in advance. Travel is stressful enough and it's less stressful if you have your passport in hand well in advance.

Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from Marriage as Priority and Friendship
"Welcome to Gospel in Life. The power of marriage is that it is a reflection of the gospel. Today, Tim Keller explores how marriage can help us more deeply understand Christ's love for us, and how Christ's love for us can completely transform our marriages. Okay, Ephesians 5. Starting somewhere in August, I guess, about three weeks ago, this is the fourth week, obviously, we're looking at this passage in Ephesians 5. We're looking at verses 22 to 32, which is really maybe the classic text in the whole Bible on marriage. And we're spending about six to eight weeks looking at the subject, and let's proceed. Let me read it again to you. Starting at verse 21. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, for the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it just as Christ does the church, for we are members of his body. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife, as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. This is God's word. Now, I always must do a little recapping, but a little bit less each week. Marriage is something that the people talk about in the church all the time, but I must admit, I'm tired of listening to sentimental, slurpy talks on marriage during weddings and in the church and in Sunday school and in sermons. They are slurpy. They are sentimental. They have about as much depth and reality to them as a Hallmark card. The fact is that marriage is many things. In fact, it's everything except slurpy and sentimental. Marriage is glorious. It's all a burning strength and joy. And marriage is hard. It's blood and it's sweat and it's tears and it's defeats and it's victories. It's almost everything except sweet. In fact, many a night, married people go to bed and as they're falling asleep after a hard day of marriage, about the only part of this passage, this passage on marriage that they can remember is the verse that goes, this is a profound mystery. And let's, so we're going to go and see that the Bible's view of marriage is completely realistic. It's great. It's terrible. It's glorious. It's blood, sweat and tears. It is not sweet. Now, what we've looked at so far are three headings in this passage. First one was the power of marriage. We saw that was in verse 21. Just the quickest reminder and yet in some ways the scariest and most profound thing that this passage says is this passage on marriage is built on the previous verses on being filled with the Spirit. Paul is assuming that there is in your life a Spirit created unselfishness. The result of being filled with the Spirit in verses 18 and following is verse 21, submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Christ because there's reverence for Christ because you have awe and fear and trembling before the greatness of his gospel that he has saved you, that he's died for you. When you take the gospel into your heart every day so that it becomes a reality, that's what we mean by being filled with the Spirit and that creates an unselfishness, a willingness and ability to serve one another, to give up your rights, to put the needs of the other person first. We talked about that but the first principle that we looked at at great length which we just remind you of now is the main problem in marriages is self -centeredness. The main disease that eats away marriages is self -centeredness. All other problems are derivative or secondary to that. It's selfishness. And only the Spirit of God can get rid of that. And there are people who have relatively decent marriages without the spirits created unselfishness but they're really more like, it's a little bit more like peaceful coexistence. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. You stay away from that area and I'll stay away from that. This assumes the power of marriage is the gospel creating a spirit of unselfishness. Self -centeredness is the main problem. If you're married, it's the main problem in your marriage. If you're not married, it will be the main problem if you ever get married. If you're divorced, it probably was the main problem in the marriage that you left. And I think that any kind of reasonable and fair -minded analysis will see that. Number two, the definition of marriage was cleaving. We looked at that a couple of weeks ago. But it's always a helpful thing to remind people, not only the married people but especially the singles. I think a couple of weeks ago, I tried to show you, I said, if there's so many single people here in the evening, why should you speak on marriage? And the answer is, you don't know how to go about deciding whether to be married or who to be married to unless you know what the heck marriage is. You know, Jesus says, before a man goes and builds a tower, he counts the cost. He knows what it costs. Before a king goes off to war, he counts the cost. He knows what it will entail. You can't go off to war until you know what it means and what it entails and so on. You can't even make a decision about being married unless you understand something about what Bible says marriage is. And here's one of them. The definition of a marriage, we said, is a covenant. It's a public promise or, remember this? This is something worth remembering. The essence of a marriage is a permanent and exclusive legal commitment to share your entire life with someone else.
WTOP 24 Hour News
Fresh update on "eight weeks" discussed on WTOP 24 Hour News
"Since the COVID pandemic, many complained of extremely long wait times for getting that passport renewed. State Now the Department tells the WTOP there is progress apparently in reducing the huge backlog. You can knock two weeks off the wait time for your new passport says Matt Piers director of passport services for the State Department meaning you'll wait eight to eleven weeks for routine service and five to seven weeks for expedited service. He says they've been using overtime and additional hires to tackle what really has been an unprecedented volume of passport applications over the past year. The State Department has seen a record -breaking 24 million passports and passport cards go last out over year and the processing all those led to the slowdowns. He says the goal is to have the wait time down to six to eight weeks for a typical passport request come year's end. Mike Murillo, WTOP News.

THE EMBC NETWORK
A highlight from The Frank Williams Show Presents Getting Through Times with Dr. Dave White
"Music Music Music Music Music Music So in other words, if you're a person who's a little bit negative or having a hard time getting there, don't just think you can get out of a hole yourself. Get Frank in your corner or get a buddy or a friend or a grandpa or a pastor or a neighbor. Or Dave. Or Dave and say, hey, one of you, could you help me? I'm trying to lose some 20 pounds in the next eight weeks, but I get negative and I get down and I procrastinate and I have a hard time executing. But when you come pick me up and take me to the gym or when you call me or you text me and say, hey, how are those workouts going? How's that diet going? That's the positivity I need. And so they borrow in a sense, Frank, your positivity or mine or friends until it actually becomes their own. And then if, you know, after they do that enough, they just say it to themselves, like I just need to do this and then they do it. Right, one of the exercises I use with my clients is I tell them to think about their mind as a computer. You know, if they put in the software that's programmed for doubt, defeat and uncertainty, what do you think is gonna come up? Doubt, defeat and uncertainty. But if you put in the software that's programmed to give you strength, victory and power, what do you think is gonna show up? Strength, victory and power. And it's not, and as we had said before, you know, the mind is not a computer, but my reason behind that is to get them to stop the negative thinking and just delete it. And every time they come up with a negative thought or phrase, stop in the middle or stop in the beginning as soon as you get it and put something positive in. And I found that a lot of people do stop and add that positive. I mean, it takes time. You're not going to eliminate all negative thinking in your life, but the goal is to put more positive stuff in your life. Yeah, no, you do that. Or thoughts in your life. Yeah, you do that so well, Frank, and you always have great input for people. People who listen to you and journey with you, you know, know that firsthand. The only thing I would add to that is that sometimes people get a little isolated and lonely and a lonely person does tend to be a negative person. When you feel alone, you start to feel shame. You feel guilt, like what's wrong with me? Why am I so isolated? And it's hard to be positive. So I'd say, look, if you've got good people around you, that's going to be a lot easier to get that mindset right. If you don't though, pull a few people around you so you're not so alone because a lonely mind can be a negative mind. And let's get you like loved up, supported, encouraged, and then get your mind working right. Because it is, in that sense, like a computer. If you have the support around you and you program good stuff, you should get good stuff out. Very good. We talked about it before, procrastination. How do you get somebody to move forward and procrastinate? not Just to keep pushing forward, to take little steps at a time. Yeah, well, I mean, there's a lot of different ways to do that, right? And sometimes it's the old fashioned way of like, darn it, stop that and just do it. Well, if they can do that, that's terrific. But a lot of times, procrastination is just the symptom. Underneath it is like a fear of failure. And when people fear of failure, it's much deeper and it's harder for them to move forward. So they may feel like, I keep putting this off, I keep putting this off, I keep putting this off. It could be painting a room, losing some money, starting a bank account, whatever. But underneath that might be a fear that if I try that, I may not be able to do it well, or I might be unsuccessful, I'd feel bad, or I'd feel like a loser. So there again, if you're just dealing with like procrastination up here, come on. Get a little kick in the booty, you know, just set that goal and like break out of it. But if you're having a hard time breaking out of it, maybe there's something underneath the procrastination and we can help kind of talk through that and remind people, look, it's okay to fail. I mean, one of the ways you succeed is you keep failing forward, right? You keep trying stuff, learning, get up, try it again, moving forward, and when that fear is removed, it's easier not to put things off. Very good. One of the other things I talk to my clients about is the three Ds, I call it the three Ds, decisions determine direction.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from The Next MAJOR ATTACK On Crypto Has Begun!
"If you're feeling depressed or demotivated by this crypto pricing market you're not alone and this is probably going to be the most important show that you're ever gonna have to watch because I'm gonna put it all into perspective for you. A lot of people think that it actually may be about the price but it's actually not about the price because from a price point of view you can argue that we're actually doing okay you know like Bitcoin is still at 26 ,000 if you take where we've come from from the beginning of the year we are still 67 % up which is not bad for a pre -harving year so it's not about the price. What it is it's about the sideways chop movement combined with these ongoing attacks that we have to endure in crypto all the time and if you look at the latest attack that we've got in crypto it's now the SEC actually coming after NFT so it's like it feels like whatever we do whatever innovation we make whatever we try and and come up with the SEC just comes out and attacks us and you know this is really really really what the depression phase is about it's it's almost like death by a thousand cuts it's not that that quick death where the prices go down but it's actually at this death by a thousand cuts and I saw this tweet over here I'll actually show you this tweet over here so I saw the tweet and it show and it shows us this Wall Street cheat sheet around the altcoins and if let me let me actually make it a bit bigger and you can see but you can see that it feels like we're very very very much now in the sideways slightly going down getting into that depression phase and the problem with this phase is that this phase is like running a marathon this phase is about the fittest survive this is about the people who have the most stamina and most people actually fall out in this phase of the market that's why it's called the depression phase it's a phase that is designed to test your staying power it's a phase that is designed to test your conviction in this market and let me tell you in the last bull market in the last bear market I dropped out towards the end of this phase and was one of the biggest mistakes that I ever made because by the time I got back I got back and I'd missed half the run but lucky I got back in time and I still managed to make some money problem is with this phase that this phase can actually last very very very long in fact if we look at the last time that this phase happened I saw a tweet here let's actually look at where this tweet is that it could take up to 400 I will look at it during the show but it could take up to 400 days for this phase to pass it's really gonna be a big test it's important that if you are feeling that way if you are feeling like you're losing a bit of interest this is the show that you actually want to watch this is probably the most important show that you ever that you that you're gonna need that we've made at this time and I like this tweet because what this tweet says it really summarized says says time -based capitulation is now in full effect no new inflows daily addresses are stagnant developers are capitulating NFTs are trending to zero the only true believers the patient and the redacted remain this is the actual opportunity zone but today is gonna be about capitalizing on the actual opportunity zone and making sure that we don't capitulate that we don't land up like all the other channels I'm gonna show you a lot of a lot of the things that I've done I'm gonna show you a lot of the things that I'm looking at that keep me motivated to be here to be making content every single day so let's do it guys and let me know in the comments what you're feeling let me know how you feeling in the comments let me know if you're feeling what I described let me know if you're feeling the effects of the capitulation phase of the depression phase let me know if you wake up in the morning and don't really feel like looking at your crypto let me know if you questioning why you're still around and maybe even looking for other investments or maybe other places to put your money and if you're maybe looking for other jobs I know James and Josh that I know that I know that they're looking for other jobs also because I get I see the internet access and I see that they very much on job sites I saw that James was on some gems are gay porn job site I mean is that what you want to go now bro are you forming a coup I'm gonna be looking for are you gonna do the same thing you're gonna do the same thing that bit boys team did to bit boy I mean I look let's just really talk for two seconds about this whole bit boy thing and we did speak about it yesterday I really feel bad for him because he has spent a long time building something amazing I mean he built 1 .45 million subscribers and I mean his team must have been really really really pushed to get him out I saw that they published a statement yesterday after our show after we broke the news right here on banter we said yesterday BJ investment holdings the parent company of hit network took decisive legal action in removing Ben Armstrong from the company and specifically the bit boy crypto brand this difficult decision is a culmination of a prolonged effort to help in during his relapse into substance abuse as well as the reconcile emotional physical and financial damage he has done to the employees of hit network and bit boy crypto look it seems to me I mean I read a couple of things here the first thing is they had a legal leg to stand on to get him out of the channel which is kind of strange because I would have imagined that he's a shareholder and if he is a shareholder how do you get a shareholder out of the channel like that's quite a big thing I always thought that Ben was actually one of the biggest shareholders in bit boy crypto how do you get a majority shareholder out but if you read between the lines of there obviously it's some legal leg to stand on the other thing is it felt to me or it looks to me like they really really really tried hard to help him and to get him right like a prolonged effort to help in during his relapse into substance abuse as well as to reconcile the emotional physical and financial damage done the other thing is that we haven't heard anything from bit boy and usually bit boy is the loudest voice in the shed I've texted him a few times and let me not lie to you and actually just check if he has responded to any of my texts usually he would get back to me very quickly when I when I texted him I think now maybe slightly different could mean that he's in rehab could mean that he's just been told by his lawyers not to say anything maybe listen either way as we said very very very publicly yesterday he came out as I said Ben is not owned by hit Network Ben being the coin or bit boy crypto it is managed by separate entity controlled entirely exclusive are Ben Armstrong and Duchess of DeFi who's Duchess of DeFi let's follow her so that is what he came out and said look we came out yesterday and we said I like the people at bit boy crypto they're hard workers with a great work ethic TJ and all the guys they are very hard workers with with a with a great great great work ethic I really hope they succeed in building the business we will help them wherever we can and one of the things we're actually thinking of doing let me know if you think it's a good idea or a bad idea but to help the guys on the channel because we really want them to stay alive and to survive this so one of the things that we are pushing or what we will do to actually try and help them is we actually gonna have a viewing party where we actually just log on and actually watch their show with our community like we do when we do the FMC so basically we'll just log in we'll create a stream and our stream will actually watch their stream and hopefully that'll give more people exposure to that channel and that will help the channels recovery because I really want to help them as much as I can I really think that these are good people who've really tried hard to build a business and you know addiction is a bad thing addiction is a really really really tough thing and we can't judge someone because they have an addiction I know some people don't understand what addiction is and they think that addiction is just about you know maybe having a bit of an extra drink or maybe taking one extra opioid it's not that it's when you come reliant on it when you become reliant on a substance it's very very very very very hard to get off and we're gonna do whatever we can to help the channel and help them get on their feet we'll even go the extra mile to to do that so yeah so let us know what you think in the comments also listen if you're new to our channel and or if you've come over from the bit boy channel to our channel subscribe to our channel welcome anyone's welcome here I also like this content let me know what you think of my idea to try and help the bit boy crypto team someone says addiction here is tough yeah we're all addicted so someone says have fun storming the car phone we all have addiction we're traders you know it we right we all have addiction we are all traders the problem is that now in crypto we ain't getting our dope immune fix that's the problem here we ain't even you know like we came to crypto because we like volatility we came to crypto because we like action now there's no volatility there's no price action there's pretty much nothing I mean let's look at let's we can look at the bubble so if you look at the bubbles not much happening today pulse down again I'll never I'm never gonna see my money out of pulse Tommy one of our sponsors up ten point three three percent flex is down seventy one percent now I really hope that if you had flex you did swap it for the the open X tokens because as far as I understand if you had flex and you didn't swap it for the open X token that means that your your token is actually now worthless and it is I mean if you didn't swap it is as if today users can no longer convert flex to open X during the token migration over 35 million flex was converted by users issue I have here I think flex is a hundred million tokens in circulations which means that 65 million people sickening supply 100 million 98 million that means that that 65 million token holders didn't actually swap unless that's part of the the company Treasury so as I said look if you look at the bubbles it's getting depressing we came here because Oh Casper's getting to a nice level hold on a second hold on a second whoa whoa everybody hold the phone Wow three point two cents for Casper this is maybe nibble territory this is maybe this is where I would maybe look to start nibbling into Casper maybe after show maybe after show I'll start in the bling into Casper so anyway going back to it and going back to what you said going back to what you guys said is we're all addicts here we come here for the dopamine rush the problem is that now we're not even getting the dopamine rush on the show it's boring there's nobody left here there are no more bulls everyone is bullish everyone is bearish no everyone is gone and that's the truth of it if you look at it everyone is starting to go you got the volatility the Bollinger levels they've been ever this is the lowest the Bollinger bands have been ever ever this means that we're at a point now where the volatility is gone and that is what was keeping us here in the market now the truth is anyone who's been in a market for long enough knows that when the volatility goes when the volatility comes back up there is an explosive move but the problem is will you be around to experience that move which is almost inevitable I'm going to show you why that move is almost inevitable the other thing we're seeing is that searches for crypto have gone down to absolute zero long story short no one's interested anymore people in crypto are starting to pivot out of crypto I even saw my good friend CTO Larson who by the way I love he's starting to make videos on Nvidia you know and and you know James has always made videos about about stocks it just shows that not much going on and as a result of the fact that not much is going on well that's this is this is what what we're dealing with now this is this is what we're dealing what we're dealing with now the volume has gone down to an all -time low I also saw this so the pace of USDC art flows in an average week they issue 1 .1 but they were deeming 1 .4 billion dollars worth of stable coins which means that actually money is actually starting to leave crypto and I'm going to show you in a second where that money is going and why this actually may be a good thing but important for you to note that you know you're not alone here because money is actually starting to leave crypto because I think it's because of the bottom because of the the the the sideways the sideways returns and stuff like that now what you got to know here is is this is the time when champions are made and I want to show you something here so this is the time where I read this tweeted time capitulation is in full effect new no new inflows the daily addresses are stagnant devs are capitulating NFTs trading to zero only true believers the patient and the redacted remain this is the true opportunity zone and what what keeps us here is you've got to have your eye on the prize you have to keep your eye on the prize and say no matter how tough this race is you have to get to the finish line of this race why because you've been here for so long and I'll never forget eight weeks before an Iron Man eight weeks before the Lisbon Iron Man I did I had a phone call with one of my friends I'd never swung before I could hardly run and I was I was quite a good cyclist and I had a phone call with one of my friends and he said to me I said hey what you know what are you doing it's I'm training for Iron Man I said where's the Iron Man he said no the Iron Man's in Portugal in Lisbon I said I'm in I went to a swimming teacher and I jumped in the pool swimming with my head out the water swimming teacher says to me I said can you have me ready in time for Iron Man she said yeah definitely I can have you ready in time for next year April which is the Iron Man in South Africa she said no I said to her no I said the Iron Man is in eight weeks she looked at me said you got no chance truth is though kept my eye on the prize trained and trained and trained and got to the race now as I arrived at the race in Portugal my wife phoned me said I'm going into labor with you with you she was in South Africa I was in Portugal my wife phoned me said I'm going into labor my son was about to be born I probably shouldn't have gone away because my wife was due that week and there was no way I could get back so I said to go to the doctor and tell the doctor to keep the baby in somehow what she basically did anyway the next day was Iron Man it was the hardest race of my life I was completely completely completely unprepared but what did I do I just focused on the prize I just focused on finishing the race getting the medal getting home and and and and going to watch my wife give birth and actually here is just to show you actually I'm not around a motorcyclist but I actually did manage to keep my eye on the prize and actually managed to finish the Iron Man and it was not a great time with six hours and 40 minutes but I managed to do it I managed to do it and I had to wear that those lycra's and shit like that so I guess the what separates the the boys from the men what separates the real athletes from from those who can't run and can't do anything else is the ability to keep the eyes on the prize and block out the noise in this time and if you look at who's actually keeping the eyes on on on the prize I read this tweet over here which is hearing rumors of pessimism creep into the market and certainly feeling it with friends that I speak to just a friendly reminder that the largest asset manager on earth are fighting to front -run each other on the ETF approvals for the spot Bitcoin ETFs and futures -based ETH ETFs you've you've just had validation the validation you dreamed of for years with respect to TradFi embracing fully the crypto future without even inclinations to embrace token with even inclinations to embrace tokenization of equities commodities and other sectors TradFi has never been more bullish whilst those who are crypto natives have never been more bearish now TradFi know how to keep their eyes on the prize BlackRock know how to keep their eyes on the prize they know that this is just a function of cycles and in a cycle you're gonna get ups and you're gonna get downs and unfortunately now we're going through a bad part of the cycle we're going through a bad part of the liquidity cycle and I'll show you in a second how that is how that is is affecting you but what what you can see here is you can see that what these guys are doing in the background is they are actually buying the miners okay so BlackRock is passively buying up miners for their index futures funds on behalf of clients because BlackRock is I think the was it the fourth BlackRock is a shareholder in four out of the five largest public crypto miners and I think it's the number two shareholders yeah BlackRock is ranked number two shareholder now ask yourself a question is BlackRock buying these mining stocks to flip them or is BlackRock buying these mining stocks on behalf of their clients because their clients are bullish on the future of Bitcoin it's exactly that their clients are bullish on the future of Bitcoin and that is why BlackRock is taking the opportunity to fill up their bags at a time like this so these guys are experts at keeping their eyes on the price now how long is this is this depression phase gonna last bad news is this depression phase may be like the Ironman that I ran six hours and 40 minutes of hell on the road okay I'll tell you one of the stories I finished this the swim I finished a cycle after the cycle you got a 21 kilometer run so you've just cycled for four hours or three and a half hours and then you've swam for 38 minutes and now you get out and you got to start running it was hot and I was running and there were a lot of supporters in Lisbon in Cascais and they started pouring water on us because I wanted to keep us cool but the water was going into my shoes and I was getting blisters I was getting bad blisters now imagine it's your first half Ironman you're running you're getting blisters it's the worst day of your life it is the longest race of your life now that is where we at at the moment this thing can last long I mean I went back to see how long this period was in the previous in the previous market and here it is if you take the top to the next time we breach that high 491 days it took 491 days okay now look maybe we've maybe we've we've we've got less in fact if you look at at this thing over here he says if we were to do the same thing we still need to go for 384 days to create a higher macro high and break 31 ,000 for good now I think that that's the worst case scenario I think that the markets changing the market structures changed but I mean you've got to keep your eyes open you got to keep your your eyes you got you got it make sure that you have enough enough gel packs and make sure that you have enough food and whatever else you need to go that distance and look maybe we go that distance maybe we don't go the distance but regardless make sure that you guys are packed make sure that you have whatever you need to actually run the dress we'll be here running with you well we will as a community we will all run together and when one of you feels one of you feels like like you're falling out we will all help you get back we will push you we will carry you we'll put our arms around you we'll walk with you we'll make sure that as a community we all get to the end of the race that's for sure we're gonna be a it's not about winning the race yeah it's about making sure we all get through this race together so that's it as I said there's a big boys the guys that are race fit the guys that have done a hundred Ironman because one thing one thing I saw when I was doing the Ironman is there's a big difference between people like me who came for the first time and people that have done this a million and one times the people that have done this a million one times they run and they look super relaxed and they smiling at everybody people like me who haven't done this before I was suffering I kept looking at people thinking am I gonna collapse is he gonna collapse is everyone around me those that had actually run the race many times those that were experienced they were smiling they were having a good time they knew exactly what was it and that's exactly what's happening here with Blackrock that's exactly what's happening here with all the the investors for me for you for everybody else here for every for all of us this is our first Ironman race this is the first time that I've seen contracting liquidity and increasing liquidity I didn't pay attention to liquidity increasing global liquidity increasing you you didn't pay any attention to global liquidity increasing but there are people that have done many many many of these races and they have been paying close attention to these liquidity cycles for a long period of time and they know that this is exactly a part of the liquidity cycle right now global liquidity is down when global liquidity is down and risk assets go down that's what it is there it is you can see it over there they also know that liquidity is a function exactly a function of Bitcoin is exactly a function of global liquidity here is US financial liquidity regimes and here is the price of Bitcoin the red indicates decreasing liquidity the green indicates increasing liquidity it's simple liquidity Bitcoin risk assets crypto is a function of liquidity right now global liquidity is decreasing because the u .s.

What's up, man? Thank you for for hosting. While Alex is away, I know it kind of caught you by surprise this morning, but how was how was your week? Were you in New York? I saw you at PubKey last last I heard. Yeah, yeah, so I got in back to St. Louis yesterday from New York. I had a good trip to PubKey. PubKey is great. Like if anyone is in New York, I want to check it out. I mean, it's just like a good dive bar, Bitcoin themed, great folks that run that place. There was a cool meetup that I was at. Alex Gladstein talk, gave a little talk. I shot at Swan Signal episode with Jimmy Song and Anita Pausch upstairs above PubKey, and that was a great episode. So you can check that out. We really focused on emerging markets and for human rights and kind of education in those countries that really need the most. So Anita works a lot in Zimbabwe. Jimmy has been traveling the world recently with his family. So there's a lot of interesting insights in there. So, yeah, it's been a good good couple of days. Happy to be here. Yeah, I went to PubKey once I met Brekky and John up there and it was cool. I wore a stack chain shirt and hoping that that would kind of have some people ask me what it was, but no one did. But it was a good time. I bought a big orange hoodie, which I'm excited to to wear in the wintertime. So good, good times. Did you go to the just just PubKey or did they have a actual like bit devs up in New York at that time, too? No bit devs, I did go to the Wolf facilities. Which was insane, that place is so nice and such a cool accelerator that they're building there. You know, Ross Stevens and crew, Kelly Brewster, Alex Betsing gave a talk there, too. And they're gracious enough to invite me over there and to check out the facilities and stuff. So, I mean, it's really cool talking to those teams that are part of the Wolf pack, the second cohort of builders in that accelerator, kind of talking with them to see what they're building. Shout out to all those guys. They're coming up on their last about they got like 10 days left until the pitch day. So it's the end of their eight week program and they're just building really cool stuff. I mean, it was very inspiring to be around them in that facility. I mean, it's just gorgeous. It's in like the 64th floor. It's got these crazy views. And I mean, it made me want to pick up programming just so I could be a part of that program. It was so cool. So that was probably the highlight of the trip was going to the Wolf facilities. It was pretty phenomenal.
Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1216. Macro Market Crash Potential w/ Darius Dale
"All right, so today we're going to dive into the market status, take a little bit of deeper dive into some of the implications of what's happening currently, but also take a look at more of a long -term perspective. Typically we like to do that with guests that have, you know, kind of these macro outlooks. I think you guys will like this one. My name is Paul Berra. Welcome back into Tech Path. I want to get into it today with Darius Dale. If you guys are not aware, Darius Dale has been on our show many times. He's the CEO and founder of We're at 42 Macro. KTF you back? Always a pleasure to be here, Paul. Thanks for having me back. Appreciate you. All right, so let's listen. If you guys have not had a chance to catch Darius before on our show, what I would do is invite you guys to jump over to his website, which is just 42macro .com. You can learn a little bit more about what they do in terms of their investment strategy and a lot of their own services. So check that out. We always love to plug our guests out there. So go visit to find out. And he's very active on Twitter as well. So check him out. All right. So I want to get into a few things here, Darius, with you. And that is when you look at the current status of major investment, we'll call them players in the market. You know, whether you look at institutional capital or just high net worth individuals, a lot of people are starting to look at when is the right time to reenter the market. You also have scenarios like this playing out right now. You've got Buffett, Burry, everybody kind of in this position of, hey, we think there's going to be this major crash. We are going to look at stepping away from the market and waiting for that right time. You look at that and the current situation of what's happening today. What are you seeing out there within your own data? So again, thanks for having me. So in terms of like where institutional investors are positioned, we have a litany of clients around the world who are all institutional asset managers, insurance funds, pension funds, et cetera, from my days on Global Wall Street, hence the suit in that photo. So I'm pretty plugged in in understanding kind of where the institutional flows are. And it's pretty clear that over the last sort of six to eight weeks, you've seen a little bit of an upside capitulation into the equity market that we're obviously correcting from now. But one thing I think we're, over the last kind of three to four weeks, particularly since the Bank of Japan amended its yield curve control framework in late July, we've backed in in terms of treasury curve duration. And this is not just a treasury market phenomenon. This is happening globally across global sovereign debt curves. I mean, if you look at some of the moves we've seen just week over week in the treasury market, you're talking about 10 -year yields up 25 basis points, UK gilt market 10 -year yields up 30 basis points, German boon up 10 basis points, et cetera, et cetera. So you're seeing a lot of this return of bond market volatility. And I'll tell you, Paul, it's happening for two factors, one, economic resiliency in the US and Japan, which we can unpack, two, the inflation resiliency in the eurozone in the UK, which we can unpack, but all those factors are combining to create a little bit more bond market volatility, which the markets are feeling right now. Nasdaq had a little bit of a lift today, almost 3%, also playing into that. But OK, so a couple of things. We've had a chance to talk with a few other crypto analysts outside of the overall market side of things. And they have different viewpoints on where this current market sets. If you look at some of the global factors that are playing out right now, let's take a look at China and the EU in general, because those are kind of polar opposite stories. Talk to me about which one has the most potential impact of what's happening here in the US. Yeah, so I would argue in terms of what's happening here in the US, it's very clearly the sticky inflation story that we continue to see in Europe. If you look at core inflation in the eurozone coming in sticky at 5 .5 % in the most recent month, you have core inflation in the UK coming in sticky at 6 .9 % in the recent months, surprising consensus estimates to the upside. That's creating bond market volatility and expectations for not only more tightening in those localities, the ECB, Bank of England, but actually delaying the rate cuts that are currently priced into forward curves as well. And that's obviously a spillover impact here. But I would argue the number one thing that's causing problems in the US equity market in the recent weeks is the resiliency of the US economy, because ultimately it's pushing out expectation the that the Fed is going to be able to cut interest rates any time soon. Interesting. Summary of Fed minutes right here. Most officials still see the need for higher rates. This came from COBEEC letter. Officials worry a little bit about over tightening. They see kind of tighter bank credit conditions. We've kind of expected some of that. No recession in 2023. We still are getting that indicator from the Fed. And then the one that I'm still most concerned about is the CRE situation, commercial real estate, around both the value in its current situation. I've been talking to a lot of real estate people here in Miami, and Miami is typically one of those markets that rarely gets affected by what happens here in the US and abroad outside of maybe Los Angeles or even New York. But now Miami also starting to feel the pinch around CRE. With all of those things and based on the Fed minutes, where do you feel like this is coming out of the Fed itself? Yeah. So in our view, we think by the end of the year, we're going to be having a different discussion around inflation. Recall that inflation has been trending lower really since the fall of last year in a pretty spectacular, albeit immaculate way. We've been calling it immaculate disinflation amongst Wall Street participants because we understand that there's really no time series history or evidence to suggest that we should be seeing these types of positive inflation outcomes ahead or not in a recession. Typically what happens is you get the breakdown in inflation several quarter or a couple of two to three quarters after the recession begins, and so clearly we're not in recession. The economy seems to be booming, certainly being resilient. And so from the perspective of the Fed, I think by the end of the year, you're going to have a couple of things happen. Right now we have zero incremental rate hikes priced into the Treasury curve. I think that's wrong. By the end of the year, it's probably likely that we're going to start to see inflation stabilize at levels that are unpalatable to the Fed relative to their price stability mandate. And actually, let me take that back. I don't want to be too specific about December 31st, but I do believe in the next three to six months, the inflation narrative will evolve from immaculate disinflation to sticky inflation because the economy is showing resiliency and that's persistent. So you feel like it's still going to hold. We're not going to see a full drop off of inflation to where Chair Powell is wanting to go to a 2%. This gets back into the theories many people have talked about, 3 % more likely as a potential. What do you think is going to be that new target zone? Do you think the Fed is just going to do everything they can to still move to that 2 % target zone? Or do you think they're going to have some sort of acceptance slightly above that? You can make the case that they already kind of are. Their reaction function is certainly downshifted to a one that's a little bit more asymmetric or not asymmetric, a little bit more symmetric in terms of responding to shocks of growth, shocks of inflation. Clearly inflation is still in the driver's seat, but it's no longer in the driver's seat the way that it was six months ago when they were hiking 75 basis points at a time. To answer your question, I do believe, so the one thing, this thing about inflation cyclically and secularly, real quick on the cyclical side, we still will see that there's a considerable amount of downside momentum in the time series, particularly when you analyze inflation through the lens of the sequentials like three month annualized, six month annualized. It's going to drag the year over year time series for things like core PCE, super core PCE, trim mean PCE inflation down over the next few months. We suspect that will probably conclude in the next three to six months. From a secular perspective, this is where I think it really gets interesting and why we've been appropriate to be bearish on bonds all year. The reality is there's a couple of things. One, the Fed's going to have to change its 2 % inflation target. We run a very sophisticated dynamic factor model that we've been presenting all across global Wall Street for the past few years, just sort of describing all the different changes that have happened in the global economy from a DSGE perspective that suggests the underlying trend of core PCE inflation has migrated from around 1 .6 % to 3%. Now, that doesn't sound like a lot if you're talking about cryptocurrency or the use to explosive logarithmic moves, but the reality is the Fed has a 2 % inflation target. If the trend in the time series is persistently above two, it means they're going to consistently be leaning against the investors, consistently be leaning against the economy, and I don't think that's politically palatable in a fourth turning society. I think they're going to have to revise their inflation target because ultimately they're going to be the ones responsible for gobbling up the $1 .5 to $2 trillion budget deficits we can see as far as the eye can see.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from Ray Epps Files Suit...and Gets Arrested? with Darren Beattie and Nick Ayers
"Welcome to the program Nick Ayers. Nick Ayers is a great American. I've known Nick for years, and we've done a lot of things together. And Nick has a really exciting announcement, a huge announcement with our friends at Public Square. PublicSQ .com being a new father and spending the GDP of Kenya on diapers. I totally understand that this is a necessary announcement to no longer fund the woke weasels that run most of the diaper companies. Nick Ayers, what is going on? Charlie, it's always great to be with you. Congratulations on all you're doing. And we have known each other for a decade now, and I'm proud of how you fought the good fight and how you've managed to go about your business and the difference you're making. And yeah, today's an exciting day. You know, the most important thing in my life outside of my faith in Christ that happened in high school is when Jamie and I had a miraculous pregnancy. And Charlie, I think you know a little bit about our story, but we were promised that it was medically impossible that we would never have our own children. And a few years later, we truly had a miracle in every respect. And we found out that she was pregnant with three babies. And very quickly after that, we were also then assured that one of them, referred to as Baby C, had a zero percent chance of life. And the doctors strongly encouraged us, not only very early in the pregnancy, you know, seven and eight weeks, but as late as six months into the pregnancy, they pleaded and begged with us to terminate Baby C because they said Baby C had a zero percent chance of life and it would cost us the opportunity to have healthy twins. And Jamie and I, in a way that only can be attributed to our faith, had a peace that surpassed all understanding. And we just, we felt like we were, we knew we were not the author or the creator of life. This was not our decision to make and we trusted the Lord with any outcome. And he blessed us beyond, as he usually does, what we deserve and what we could have ever imagined. And so those three children for me are living stones of the sovereignty of God and how he honors obedience. And I cannot think of any more mission critical, especially where our nation is today, than to give parents, grandparents and people who believe what you and I believe, an opportunity to align their values with a company that cares that much about the innocence of every life. And that's exactly why we launched Every Life this morning, was to give every baby a chance, to say that we cherish and protect and celebrate every baby, irrespective of race, of gender, that we want them all to have an opportunity. And you would think, Charlie, that that would be something that's like, well, yeah, that's great. That's what every diaper company should do. But your listeners, your viewers won't be surprised to learn that, in fact, it's not. There are a litany of, you know, every household diaper brand name that you and I could rattle off, are very public about and proud of the fact that some support their employees by matching their donations to Planned Parenthood, or they pay for them to travel and have abortions. And look, the great thing about our country is that we're free. People are free to make their own decisions and determinations. I think that's crazy for especially a diaper company. And it's exactly why we launched Every Life this morning.

The people had gathered in their thousands, so that they were treading on one another. And Jesus began to speak, first of all, to his disciples. Beyond your guard against the yeast of the pharisees, that is, their hypocrisy. Everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. For this reason whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and why do you have whispered and hidden places will be proclaimed on the housetops. To you, my Friends, I say, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that can do no more. I will tell you whom to fear. Fear him who, after he is killed, as the power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Can

On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between samaria and Galilee. As he entered one of the villages, ten lepers came to meet him. They stood some way off and called to him. Jesus, master. Take pity on us. When he saw them, he said, go and show yourselves to the priests. Now as they were going away, they were cleansed. Finding himself cured, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice and threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan. This made Jesus say, we're not all ten made clean. The other 9, where are they? It seems no one has come back to give praise to God except this foreigner.

Things I'd Wish I'd Known When My Kids Started College
"Things. I wish i known when my kids started college like how their meal plans. Don't include ten dollar la taes three years ago when my kids started college. I could've used some guidance. Decent advice wisdom. I went on college tours asking. What are your dorms. Emergency exit plans. I should've asked how many essential oil marketers within a fifteen mile radius. Hold a communications degree from your university. What did i know. I was worried. Said to be losing my babies and wondering how in the name of god they survive without homemade smoothies would my make good choices. Texts be as effective without the appropriate facial expressions. I should have focused on the upside vodka. Bottles would soon return to the oven where they belong. I could keep my journal out in the open rather than hidden in the closet near the vibrators. Real changes happen for empty nesters and our kids during college years. Not all of them bad. Here's what i wish. I knew it will take one year to go from crying when they leave to crying when they come home six months. If you enjoy the kind of privacy you haven't had since clinton was in office. Prepare a speech for when they call to say we've been seeing each other exclusively for eight weeks. Should i still use a condom. That kid who is said to leave home will soon be wondering why you do things like visit and stay overnight. Go ahead and share opinions about what they wear an instagram pictures. I dare you. Are we supposed to quickly pivot from casting out trans fats and other sources of evil to serene acceptance that their diet now includes edibles. Yes yes we are so steel an edible. When you visit. You're paying for it. Your boys will bring home girls who start sentences with as a capricorn. But stay supportive or though blame you for the inevitable. Break-up relax with the anti-capitalist you don't need to be investment bankers bullshit. You'll have to pay their rent when they eventually decide work as oppressive.

Biden Administration's Relationship With International Allies on Shaky Ground
"At the end of the trump era in the us. The breathe to sigh of relief. America i was over and new president. Joe biden's words. America was bug. It was a signal. That europe's relationship with washington could return to normal. But it now seems that this reaction was premature and after the initial honeymoon period. There are serious doubts about the biden administration and america's commitment to its international partners joining me to discuss the eu us. Relations are suzanne lynch brussels playbook author political and former washington correspondent and dave keating brussels correspondent for france twenty four. Thanks both very much. For coming. On the show suzanne with former us president donald trump. They were doubts about american commitment but she. Now american competence. I think there is a lot of and soul-searching happening at the moment in brussels about what happened over the last few weeks. Of course it's only a couple of months since joe biden visited. Brussels and mesh with edgy seven leaders in the uk. a now. I think that meeting people begin to ask what choose achieved because you know six weeks eight weeks later. We have this. Chaotic scene evacuation situation if afghanistan where effectively america is calling the shots. It's driving the agenda. On the eu and nato allies america have to follow. So i think what we're seeing now is a real focus in brussels about the idea of some people caught a strategic autonomy can the eu depend on the us or work with the us to the extent that before am considering they feel that now. America is retreating back and is moving away from the kind of multi-lateralism that was the fulcrum of transatlantic relations after world war. Two
First Class Fatherhood
College Football Commentator Kirk Herbstreit Discusses His Scary Introduction to Fatherhood
"About how old were you then. Save me back to the beginning here. About how old were you when you first became a dad and had to becoming a father kind of change your perspective on life. Well i dated a girl through high school and college. Same girl for eight years and then she went off to chicago to start her career she had done for years. I- red-shirted and so. I had a fifth year my senior year and during my senior year i met my future wife alison That year and then we got married. When i was i was about twenty eight years old Roughly and my first kids were born in two thousand. So i was twenty nine thirty years old. Roughly right around there when they were when they were born. Incidentally they were born I talked about this in the book but but my wife was twenty weeks pregnant than we would end for our normal routine. We knew we were expecting twins and we were going in for our normal scan and when we went in they said oh my gosh you know you're funneling we've got a problem you've got we got mitch you to the hospital. So she went straight up from that. Visit straight up the hospital to up up to the twelfth floor. And she stayed there On bedrest and held on for like to see if she could she could make it Did not get out of that bed for. She held on for eight weeks. And so the Twins were born at twenty eight weeks. There are two pounds each when they were born and then they were in the nick. You for about another eight weeks until they're able to come home. And so that was my introduction to to fatherhood and You know now. They're twenty one and and doing well. But tell you when you're a first time dad and that's your introduction That was that was scary. You know they're in the nick you and you know i didn't realize that your brain when it's develops tells your heart to beat and so their brains weren't developed enough so they're the ekg wiring all on couple times with flat. Line on your thinking. They've died and you freak out until nerves to come over they'd come over and just kind of shake their leg and then the next thing they'd start breathing again but it was a traumatic experience to go

Study Shows Mix-Match Method Boosts Immune Response of COVID-19 Jab
"An important and eagerly to study into co vaccines published his initial findings. This week the kamkoff trial run by the university of oxford has been looking at the effectiveness of mixing and matching between different cova jabs to see which works. Best for instance is a dose with astrazeneca's vaccine followed by an orange vaccine the jab. At least as good or even better than two doses of astrazeneca to find out matthew snipe recruited just shy of nine hundred over-fifties who included people with preexisting health conditions and members of ethnic minority groups. This study was commissioned back in december last year before we even knew vaccines. We're gonna be using but it was already anticipated that what what we had to vaccines. And what if the problem with supply at one of them could be then swap over there and completely station. 'cause his with the vaccine since all about looking see how we could make the immunization roll out and make it more robust to cope with any unexpected events. But when you did the study what did you. Measure measure the antibodies. And also t cells. The white blood cells that are unimportant on the immune system and the participants didn't know which vaccines they received. A a blinded study from that point of view. So that was really kinda good way of getting accurate data on what reactions they were experiencing and any safety concerns. They have uncritically. How long did you leave between the doses. Because that's the other issue isn't it. We've seen this go from one month when we first started rolling out vaccines to twelve weeks in order to maximize uptake quickly and then to be shrunk back to eight weeks for certain groups in the community again. Now what did you look at. That's right with being kind of thanked by this long when we plan to study with a full week into full and then as we're back to get going they got changed to make that up to eight to twelve weekend so for about half of participants getting vaccines at a full. We can devote an half receiving it a twelve week into so we get depressed. The whole broad range there and get an idea to save changing. The interval makes any difference in the interactions between the

Using Minimal Effective Dose to Maintain Your Strength, Endurance, and Muscle Size
"Got one other for you before we open it up to this week's q. In this was in the national journal strength conditioning research and kind of related to what. I was just talking about but rather than maintenance of weight loss. This one looked into maintenance of muscle maintenance of muscle and so the title of this particular study was the minimal dose of exercise so for all time hackers. Hopefully your your your ears perked when you heard that the minimal those of exercise needed to preserve endurance and strength over time. So what these folks looked into was all the different studies. This is a narrative review. They looked at all the different studies out there. That show you know once you once you've kind of gotten the body you want or the muscle you want gotten to the state of fat loss or fat loss maintenance that you want. How do you continue that over time. And there are some really really good practical applications in this particular study. This wouldn't necessarily be to improve performance but this would be to maintain performance. And it's less than what you would think like if you're as fit as you want to be but you wanna maintain that. Let me give you a few examples. So let's say short term endurance. So so you wanna maintain your fitness for for short-term darts usually be like playing sports tennis soccer basketball etc. It would appear that you can do about thirteen minutes per session at around two sessions per week at around sixty to eighty percent intensity and actually maintain your short term endurance very effectively for a long duration of time for long term endurance. Right like being able to go for long periods of time such as you might have accomplished after running a marathon or triathlon. Or something like that. Basically for that you can get away with about twenty five to thirty minutes per session okay. Twenty five to thirty minutes per session as long as you're maintaining his high in exercise intensity as possible during that steady state. Twenty five to thirty minute session. Who is shockingly low like. Let's say you've gotten yourself being like ride a bike for sixty miles and then you just wanna maintain that because you're going into work mode and you've got like eight weeks where you know. You got trained that much. You can literally maintain that with twenty five to thirty minutes for a session and in this case again. We're talking about a couple of times a week two times per week for video to match what your maximum oxygen capacity again if you can maintain your maximum sustainable pace and this was very similar for about thirteen to fifteen minutes at around one session per week. That's enough you to maintain your view to max.
