"With Bloomberg, you get the story behind the story, the story behind the global birth rate, behind your EV battery's environmental impact, behind sand, yeah, sand, you get context, and context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. If you're looking at the S &P 500 in particular on a quarterly basis, it's on pace for its first quarterly loss actually in a year, so next week will be the final week in the third quarter. Yeah, we should point out, of course, for the S &P 500, a down week to be sure, in fact, setting up here for what looks like it's going to be the worst week that we've seen in quite some time, erasing all of the gains for the month of September, erasing all of the gains that it had in the month of August, and erasing all of the gains that it had in the month of July. So this is a market that effectively has gone nowhere since that phenomenal run through the first six months, and now here on this Friday afternoon, here on September 22nd, the S &P 500 posting its worst weekly decline since March 10th, a two -tenths of a percent decline on the day, about a three percent decline on the week, the Dow Jones Industrial average down three -tenths of a percent here on the day, while the NASDAQ composite is going to finish fractionally lower by about a tenth of a percent, and the Russell 2000, that was your relative laggard here on the day, down three -tenths of a percent, setting up for what looks like it's going to be the fifth straight week of declines. Yeah, a little perspective in terms of where we are in 2023, you've still got a NASDAQ 100 that's up 34 percent, an S &P that's up about 12 percent, it is really the small -cap universe that continues to lag, Katie. It's just up, what, about, I don't know, eight -tenths of a percent here on the year. And if you take a look under the hood of some of these indexes, and you take a look in particular at the industry groups, there's a lot of red, there's not a lot of green for this Friday. You can see up at the top, you do have some of the chip makers, the semis, getting a little bit of love up by one percent or so. Then some of those tech hardware names also managing to stay green.

Topics are in the air. Mike is in the house. How you doing, man? I'm good. I'm excited for you. I'm looking forward to hearing your conversation with Ken Paxton following Tucker's interview with Ken Paxton. I watched it last night. You know, the significance of this is so profound. It strikes me as to all the examples we're seeing of the machine trying to shut people down that they want to stop. Yeah. And if they can't stop them legitimately, if they can't get them beat at the ballot box, if they can't win in legitimate ways, then let's figure out a way to cheat. Let's figure out, let's impeach. Let's, let's have trials. Let's, let's do, let's cancel them any way we can. Let's sue them. Let's, let's prosecute them. Look at what's happening with Trump. I mean, that's the Ken Paxton story in a nutshell. They've tried to stop. And I love the way Tucker framed this, and you have too, so brilliantly. Ken Paxton is arguably the biggest thorn in the, in the side of the Biden administration that he's, that the administration's got. And he has been relentless. And as you pointed out, he's, he's on the right side of every issue, borders, law and order, the Constitution, everything, the second amendment, first amendment, go down the list, everything we pray for and that we want, Ken Paxton's on the right side of. And so they've decided, okay, we can't, he wins in a landslide. We can't stop him there. I know, let's impeach him. Now it's the same thing with Trump. There's such an analogy between the Ken Paxton story and the Donald Trump story. We can't stop his skyrocketing poll numbers. He's, he's apparently going to be the GOP nominee. And now there's a path for a number two that might not be Ron DeSantis. I mean, all along we've said Trump or DeSantis, Trump and DeSantis, apparently the New Hampshire voters don't agree. Who's, who's second? Is Vivek second in there? I don't know. It's like a race for the, it's, they're all close, they're all clustered together for second, but it's, but DeSantis is fifth.

Targeting Evolving STEM Education Standards With Alex Reader, Founder of STIIX
"EdTech technology landscape is constantly evolving. So how do you ensure that hands -on experience provided by Stakes aligns with educational standards and goals of school districts that you work with? And how do you keep Stakes at a forefront of innovation to ensure students receive the best possible learning experience? That's the question that the administration is going to be asking you. And I'm pretty sure you've experienced it already. Totally. Yeah. I never take anything away from any of the other companies in the EdTech world. There's so much cool stuff going on. And I always leave calls and meetings with people and conferences as well. I always say I'm so jealous of kids these days that when I was going through school, we had none of this cool stuff. And there's been so many cool strides taken and just the things these kids are exposed to. I'm jealous, frankly. Thank you. They're lucky. They're lucky ducks. And yeah, I was just talking about my favorite part of the job conferences, developing these fun projects. That's my least favorite, actually, is the standards. And although we totally align, we align to all kinds of national and state science and CTE and STEM standards. And I've actually grown to like it a little bit, but these projects do align. It's that open ended design or open ended design challenge nature of them do align to a lot of those problem solving skills. And when you get into the stoplight project, like I was showing you, it aligns with some of those electricity and magnetism related standards that you that you encounter when you start to get to the fifth grade middle school. We totally align to all the standards. It's important, right? If you want to be if you want to be working with schools and helping them and all their cool initiatives, you got to align to them. And as far as just the technology related part, it's funny you mentioned that right after I mentioned our app. So that's something we're working on and that's something that we're trying to be innovative through. And of course, I mentioned it's a free resource. So that's where we really have. We've got a cool platform online, right, where we share cool videos, well done videos. But it's augmented reality stuff and virtual reality. I've always thought that the best use case for it was education. So now we're swimming in that space a little bit. So we have got this app that we've developed where each of our projects is going to have a module. And within that module, three different career strains the kids are going to get to check out. And so one's kind of your engineering related career. So for your bridge project is the first one we've developed. That's your civil engineer. And then we have a technical related career strain in there as well. So that's a bridge welder. And then the third one, we try to bring in a business oriented career and we're doing like a management. And for each one of those, you're going to go through you're going to learn a couple of things, watch a couple of videos, hear about common personality traits and statistics. Frankly, what do these people make as on average? Because it's tough to know and there's no reason to hide that. And then they go in, they reflect on questions. They have they do a cool augmented reality activity in each just to spice it up. What a day in the life is. And it's just a cool tool. And that's something we're really proud of. That's where we're trying to be innovative and do some cool things in a free way as well.

"fifth" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last Friday, that circuit court concluded that the Biden White House, the Surgeon General, the CDC and the FBI likely violated free speech rights by coercing social media platforms to take down posts on their sites at times with intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences. White House Press Secretary Corrine Jean -Pierre has said that communications by Biden officials with the social media companies was not coercive. We have promoted responsible actions to protect public health, safety and security when confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attacks on our elections and we have consistently made clear that we believe social media companies have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects of their platforms that they have on the American people while making independent decisions about the content of their of their platforms. Joining me is Professor Eric Goldman of the Santa Clara University School of Law. He's also a co -director of the High Tech Law Institute. Eric, what was the main issue in the Fifth Circuit case? The basic question is, when were conversations that were taking place between the government and social media services becoming so coercive or so directed that the social media services were doing the bidding and removing content of their direction? Did the Fifth Circuit find that there were actual threats made to social media companies? It did, but the threats are always a little bit vague. It's not always as easy as, you must do X or X, we will throw you in jail. The threats are often more indirect, and that's one of the many challenges from this opinion. It wasn't entirely clear to me exactly which threats mattered or when they even became threats. And what did the injunction specifically prohibit Biden administration officials from doing? The actual implementation of the the is injunction no more clear than before the opinion. What the court said is that certain branches injunction to the government, specifically they called out the White House and the FBI, must comply with the rules articulated in the court. But the court didn't provide concrete boundaries around those rules and simply said, you must comply with the Constitution. So in a sense, I don't know how the executive branches are going to implement what the court's ordering them to do, because it's saying comply with the Constitution. But obviously, the people who made the decision in the first place weren't clear what was constitutional, what wasn't, and they don't know they're any clearer now. It also says they can't significantly encourage platforms to remove lawful content. So what does significantly encourage mean? Exactly. That's the point. The significant encouragement is the boundary around the constitutional protections. In other words, if they're significantly encouraging the removal of constitutional content, that's not constitutional. That's a violation of the First Amendment. However, what constitutes a significant encouragement is not made clear by the opinion. They do point to a few examples, but I think I would know how to actually interpret that language. And so what's likely to happen is if that this opinion stands, the regulated entities are going to become far less conversational with social media services. They're not going to take a chance about violating the rule. So the court standard actually clears out a lot of committed behavior today because the boundary is so unclear, people are going to err on the side of being cautious. Well, that's what the Republicans who brought this case The Missouri AG, Andrew Bailey, said that the ruling was another the brick in the wall of separation between tech and state. No doubt many people wish that the government would not be in conversations with social media services. And yet, the court's opinion really casts a shadow over dialogues that take place every day, all the time, throughout our entire country, between governments and private entities, not just to social media services. This concern about significant encouragement or coercion comes up across the board in lots of spaces. And the court standard puts potentially many or all of those in play, opens up the door for lots of people to challenge government conversations that are just in the public health and safety interest. Government's just trying to do its job to protect its citizens, and now this court casts a doubt on the legitimacy of those efforts. The Biden administration had said that it was pushing social media companies to just adhere to their own rules about content. Did you see a First Amendment violation here? There's no doubt that some individual employees of the government pushed the frontiers, perhaps to or over the limit. That's just the nature of individual government employees so zealously trying to do their job. They might get a little bit excited. Having said that, I think that overall, none of the social media services appreciate the feedback from the government. They want to hear from the government because the government sees things that they don't or is a good neutral source of assessing risks in the community that need to be addressed. It's helpful for the social media services to hear from the government the risk that the government is assessing, what might be done to address those risks. That's actually helpful and that informs the social media services own independent editorial discretion. So, the line between that kind of activity and the overzealous pushing by some government employees is really thin and we want fewer of the overzealous stuff, but we definitely want the other stuff to continue and that's the part that I don't think the government employees are going to know Such criticism from conservatives during COVID, you know, the Fifth Circuit said did okay, he was fine. Yeah, I think the Fifth Circuit was trying not to engage in partisan politics. Fauci was the target of conservative ire and so they weren't pandering to that ire and yet the entire structure of the opinion really does validate a lot of the conservative objectives in a way that I think fundamentally undermines public health and safety. So it's kind of like what do we really want from the government and I don't know that I share the Fifth Circuit's vision of what it wants from the government. I

A highlight from Ep376: Less Will Go Wrong With A Checklist Like This
"You'd be surprised how many things you can make a mistake when you don't have a good checklist and a lot less will go wrong if you listen to this episode, take a good note and have a checklist similar to what I'm about to share. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up, podcaster? It's your host, Adam A. Adams. And funny story is that this last week I was playing with different microphones. I switched from a different mic to the mic that I'm using now and I didn't check everything. And I ended up recording a couple of episodes that sounded pretty bad. One of them was a solo episode and the other is an interview episode. And so unfortunately, I'm going to go back and rerecord the solo episode another time. Took me like more than a half an hour the first time. And, you know, time is valuable. Time is money. Time is our most valuable asset. You've heard all of that. And I wasted it. I wasted it by preparing, getting in the right headspace and then pressing record. But I mistakenly didn't have the microphone hooked up to where it needed to be hooked up. And if you don't have the microphone hooked up to the right mic, then it'll sound crappy. And for a solo episode that's about a half an hour, I don't want to put you through that. I don't want to put you through having to listen to that. I don't think that's the right thing to do. And so I'm actually going to go and I'm going to re -record that episode and record it again. So my teammate, luckily, Jen, reached out to me and she says, hey, you know, the audio quality doesn't sound normal. I'm not sure what's going on. And she sent me these two recordings, the one that's a solo and the one with an interview. And I listened to it and I'm like, shit, man, I'm using my webcam mic. So it's because I turned my RODECaster off that disconnected my microphone. And then when I came back, it just, I didn't double check. I did double check in the beginning of this episode before I started recording this one. Of course, I went in and I was like, I need to do this. And it brings me back to when I was a newer podcaster, I was better at using a checklist. I had a checklist of six different things. Today, I'm going to talk about 10 ideas and you can take them or leave them. I'm going to give you like 10 ideas that will go on a checklist that will help you. But when I first started, I kept on recording. I kept on thinking that I was recording an episode, but I never pressed the record button. So I'd sit there for all of that time and energy, but I never even pressed record. Another bad thing is to actually record the episode, but not be using the right mic. And so your sound quality sounds really bad and it's hard to understand you. It's hard to hear you. And the echo and the reverb kind of gets in the way of the content for your listener. And so I had a checklist and a couple of the things were make sure that you press record, make sure that you're using the right microphone. So double check the microphone every single time before you record. And it reminds me of a story that my buddy of mine told me. It's about an airplane and how he literally almost died. I'll share that in a second. Before I share that with you, maybe I'll go over these 10 things that you could use as part of your own checklist. The 10 things that I've got written down here are A, make sure that you get enough sleep. It kind of sucks to go into a recording when you don't get enough sleep. So potentially you could even have as part of your checklist, make sure I go to bed at 9 PM the night before or 10 PM or whatever works for you. Make sure that I sleep in until 7 AM on this day because I really got to be functioning well and sleep is an important part of that. Another thing that you may add to your checklist. The second thing that you might want on your checklist is food. Now, some people say that you are a lot more groggy. It's harder for you to think clearly. Some people and I would say venture to say more of the doctors and neuroscientists are going to agree with this. They say if you eat within two or three hours of recording, your brain function is just not going to be as good because kind of like the digestion, the energy that is taken to digest all that food. It takes some resources from the rest of your body, your mind, and you are likely to have a worse recording if you eat right before, especially if it's a big meal. And so the thought is for you, is that right or is that wrong? If you don't eat, are you stressed? Are you going to be more distracted because your stomach is growling or are you going to have more energy? It's possible you might have more energy by eating. But most of the science would point to don't eat within three hours. So you might say if you're going to have a lunch break and you're going to go out to a restaurant and have a big meal, like let's just say noon, you probably wouldn't want to have 2 p .m. appointment for a podcast if you knew that you were going to be eating or drinking alcohol or something like that. So just make this as a consideration. Am I in a fasted state or am I in a fed state? Whichever one works best for you. Again, I'll repeat that on number two about food that the science would normally point to that you shouldn't eat within three meals of a time that you have to be eloquent, have a time to be able to think sharply, ask good questions to your guests or put out really good content. You just need to consider if food or the lack of food should be part of your checklist. The third idea that I've got for you as part of this checklist that you may or may not use is pre prep. It's what is the pre prep that I've done or am doing or the research? And so, for example, I'll just be completely honest with you. I don't really do a lot of pre prep. I might be a bad example of this, but I don't mind winging it either. I don't mind jumping in. And I think we can always have a great product for our listener by the way that we go into something. So pre prep on a solo episode would be do all of your research ahead of time and pre prep on an interview episode. Like, for example, you read that guy's book or you read that you go to her blog or you see what her company is or you check out what stages he's been on or you listen to her podcast prior to the recording or you read her blog or whatever it is. You do some research on that person. You find them on LinkedIn. You see what they're posting about. You get to know them. You get to know their book. You get to know their podcast and that can arm you with other additional questions. Now, for me, I'm more than happy, at least on my podcast, the podcast on podcasting. I know that I can ask questions that is going to benefit my listener regardless if I do that or not. I'm going to save my time and that's not going to be on my checklist. Might actually need to be on yours. So again, the third thing is your pre prep, which is research, doing your due diligence on the person that you're interviewing. The fourth thing that I have written down that is a huge possibility for you is your wardrobe and makeup. So for example, I don't wear makeup. I can't say that I never have. There was a Halloween that I had a little bit of fun. I'll say that much, but typically saying that's not for me. I don't really have any makeup that I need to wear. It might be because I'm a guy or it might be because who knows, but that's just not something I have to focus on. So the makeup isn't going to be part of mine. But maybe, you know, shaving my beard, maybe giving my beard a trim or doing my hair or putting on a hat, maybe making sure that I have a collared shirt on or a button up shirt or maybe just making sure I have a shirt at all. Because sometimes I record sleeveless. I'll get home from the gym. I'll have some energy. I would have had an idea that came to me while I was doing some curls or some push ups or something. And then I'll have an idea and I'll just run home and I'll get excited about it. Jump right on the computer and start recording. But again, the fourth thing is consider your wardrobe or your makeup. Am I wearing? Am I looking the part that I want to look? Am I showing up the way that I want to show up for my person? And that also goes to your solo episodes, especially if you're recording. Listen carefully, because I've got some ideas here on the wardrobe and makeup on your solo episodes. There's a couple of reasons why you might want to do this. Number one is if you're recording video, then of course, you're going to want to look good on camera. But here's the secondary thing that most people don't think about is if your hair's messed up or even if you like forget to brush your teeth and you got rank breath, honestly, we'll distract you. Honestly, we'll take some of your confidence away. In some cases, if you're not wearing a suit jacket or even a collared shirt or something, for some people, that action, that omission of not putting on a certain thing or having the makeup done or having your hair done or having deodorant on or brushing your teeth or something like that, it will distract you so much that you'll put out bad content. You will not be able to put out good content. And so it gets into our mentality, it gets into our psychology and actually has us put out worse product than we could if we were to dress sharp. So even just doing a solo episode, regardless if we're recording it for the video to be shown at all, it may be in your best interest to look the part. The thoughts in your mind when you are looking sharp and feeling sharp, feeling like you did something like even just making your bed that day, hey, I'm going to make my bed. Now I feel better. Now I can go and do the rest because how you keep your house is how you do everything. That's what they say. So just make it a consideration. Should I add, you know, what my wardrobe or hair or makeup or making my bed is going to be? Should I be trimming my beard, whether I'm using video on or whether I'm having the video off? Make that consideration. Should I put this on my checklist? The fifth thing that you may want to have on your checklist is, am I standing up? I used to have a standing desk and I had a sitting desk and I started recording all of my episodes sitting down and then I found out that it will work better. You will have a better energy if you stand up. And so I would try to remember to go over to my other computer because I didn't have a convertible desk. My desk wasn't able to convert from standing to sitting. I had two different desks. I had a sitting one with three monitors and a standing one with two monitors. I did most of my work on my sitting desk with my three monitors, but when I wanted to put out a good product, I would go over to my other desk and I would stand up. And by standing up, I would have a better energy. I would approach it a little bit easier. And actually, when you're sitting down, you kind of close off your diaphragm. And so it's harder for you to breathe. It's harder for you to catch your breath. And in some cases, you sound like you don't want to be there. So for me, I would try to remember I'm going to get out of this desk and I'm going to go to the other desk. Or for others, you have to remember, hey, I've been sitting down, but for recording, I want to be standing up. And so you might convert your desk. Either way, I'm not saying you absolutely have to stand up for your recordings, but it is a good idea to stand up for your recordings. You will actually have better energy and you'll sound better and it'll just sound like you are more clear and ready. I believe that I think better on my feet. I know that sounds interesting. Excuse the pun, but I really believe that I think better when I'm on my feet. When I'm sitting down, I am more sluggish. I am more tired. I am more relaxed. When I'm standing up, it gives me that little bit of energy. And when I had the two different desks, I actually just closed down that office. Now I just have a home office. When I had that office, sometimes I would start recording sitting down and I'd be like, ah, I actually can tell that I'm not getting as good of a recording right now because I'm doing it seated. And so I had to remember to stand up to either convert my desk or to get up and go to the other desk or whatever it took to actually be standing. Because I would prefer that. And so if that's you, you might want to add that. Hey, make sure I'm standing up. You write down your own checklist and you go down the list. Sleep. Yep. I got plenty of sleep. Food. Yep. I remember to fast. Meal prep. No, not meal prep. Pre -prep. Research. Yep. I know about this person that I'm going to be interviewing. I have some ideas of what I'm going to ask her. And so I'm ready to go. Makeup. Wardrobe. All right. Am I wearing clothes that I feel comfortable in that make me feel energized, that make me feel proud of myself or confident about myself? And same thing with your breath and maybe even your stinky pit in some cases, right? Think about those things. And then the fifth one is standing up. The sixth one is a mic check. This is the one that I keep freaking messing up. And remember, remember for a second, I've got a story about a checklist about my friend literally almost died. Like he was really, really close to dying because he didn't follow the checklist. And so I will share that, but I want to get through these 10 things and we're going to take a quick break and then I'll share the story about my friend who literally almost died. Like not figuratively, actually was so fricking lucky that he's alive right now. All right. So number six was a mic check. What that means, I use Zoom. And so what I do to test my mic is that I go into the Zoom settings at the time that I'm starting it and I check my microphone. I push test mic and then it'll play it back to me and I'll make sure that the sound quality is what I'm looking for, that it's using the expensive mic that I spent the money on. Then why am I not using it rather than using my webcam like I did recently? We're going to get into that. So number six was a mic check. So you do a mic check. You make sure that you're using the right mic. Number seven is you do a pre -interview. These 10 things that I'm giving you, they don't have to be your exact checklist. But this is a framework of how to build your checklist. The seventh thing is to do a pre -interview. Now, I don't have this written down on a checklist of mine. Even back in the day, I didn't have it written down. It was so natural to me. I didn't have to write it down. You might want to. The thing that I would do and always do is before I start recording, I naturally do this. I say, this is who my avatar is. This is who my listener is. Tell me what you would like to pour into them. If you only left this podcast today with me and you only said one thing to that person, what would it be? And so that has always become part of my natural way to go. Before I start recording, I do. That brings me to an extra thing that maybe you should add to your checklist. Cause I've made this mistake before as well. So I'm going to actually give you 11 things. That's funny. I just came up with another one that I've made the mistake. And so I'm typing it down to make sure that I share it with you. I've made this mistake before and it is that I jump into the recording. I might just be meeting the first person for the first time, or I might know their first name, but not their last. And maybe they have a complicated first name or spelled super weird or from a country that you're not familiar with. Like a culture that is new to you, you know, where they have silent letters where you would normally want to use that. Like French language and English language are very different. There's a lot of silent letters in English that are completely different than the silent letters in French. And you get all of these new things like X's do a certain thing in the Spanish language, X's do a certain thing in the French language, X's do a certain thing in the English language. And in some cases they can be pronounced in different ways or the vowels might be a soft vowel or a hard vowel. There's a number of things. And so what I continue to do is I'll actually done this so many times with the person's name where I do all of the other things. And then I jump in, I'm like, welcome back to this podcast, whatever your podcast name is. Welcome back to the podcast. It's your host, Jon Smith. And today I'm joined with shit. How do you pronounce your name? Okay, let's start over. So there's an option. So you should just do it in the beginning as a part of your checklist. Like you should just make sure and verify that you are pronouncing somebody's name the way that they want you to pronounce it saying maybe they go by a nickname. Maybe they go by John or Jonathan. Mel or Melanie, whatever. Maybe they go by something else. So how do you want to be addressed? How do you pronounce your name? Okay, cool. And now you're in, now you're ready. Something that I hear people do is I just mentioned, I'm like, Hey, this is whatever podcast today I'm joined with shit. What's your name? I've recorded a couple of times where I've been in that position where I'm like, crap, man, I actually don't know how to pronounce your name. And then they correct me while I'm recording and I've published it that way. And I don't agree with that at all. I feel like that's the wrong thing to do. I don't think I should have done that. And I don't think you should do that. If you don't know how to pronounce somebody's name, you should get that cleaned up in the pre -interview time prior to ever actually recording. So you might ask them in the pre -interview, you might double check, Hey, how do you pronounce your name or what name do you want to go by? You might ask, what do you want to pour into my perfect listener? This is what they're going through. This is what they're worried about. What are you passionate about? Those are some good things. So I'm going to say that number seven is the pre -interview where you try to figure out all of those details. I'm going to say number 11 is making sure you're pronouncing the name right. Then go back into number eight, the avatar. Who is your avatar? Here's the thing that I've noticed. This happens so many times. Somebody is going to record an episode and they will not have their perfect listener in mind. They'll have a general idea of who might be listening. And they might even think that they have multiple avatars and so they're doing whatever or they might think that they're talking to a whole stage. Yeah, sure.

A highlight from Msgr. Esseff voice sample
"The Enthronement of the Sacred Heart is really the work, and what I really believe God in a very special way has called us to do, to enthrone Jesus in the hearts of every human being, to enthrone Jesus in every family, and specifically since the family is one of the most battered institutions in the world today, that this family can come together and He promises so much to the families. So the purpose of these videos and the purpose of our coming together is to present Jesus as the head of every family, and He wants to be, He desires to be, and He is calling to be and wanting to become the head of a father and a mother and a family. If there's a single parent or a widow or whatever your family unit is, the desire of God and His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit through Mary's Immaculate Heart is being offered to us. Why the heart of Jesus? It's because what has been failed to be communicated by the Father in our day. When God the Father appeared to humankind, how did He appear? He appeared as fire. He appeared to Moses as fire. God is fire. Who are you? I am God. You are standing on holy ground. God, fire? God is love. It was very much revealed to us through St. John especially, that revelation of John. God is love. The greatest definition ever given for God is God is love, and when He appeared and came in our flesh into the world and His name is Jesus. So much so did He want to come in the first century, in the second and the third, fourth and fifth, and when it came, and so many people were just not getting the message. Every person who is listening, God loves you so much that He gave you His Son. The Son of God is the revelation of God's love, and when He came to you, He came and He showed His love by dying on the cross. When we see the cross, so many people again, God's love, I'm going to be crucified like Jesus, and that's what's going to happen. No, the cross is not suffering. The cross is love. So much did He love us, He's telling us, I would die for you. That's what love is. Love is laying down His entire life for us because the failure to communicate through the cross, through the teaching, so many people. I remember I used to go to Mass, and when I was a little boy, very few people went to communion because they somehow was reverent. You had to be perfect, and so what did the devil do? The devil so insinuated himself as God is so holy you can't approach Him. Then after a while, some people now just come to communion and they aren't aware of who they're receiving, and they may be very much in sin, but they still don't know how much God loves them. We just don't seem to get it right. We don't see the awesome love that we're receiving, or this awesome fear that we may have. Anyway, what did God do in the 17th century? He came to a woman. Her name was Margaret Mary. If you look at the image of the Sacred Heart, and I have one in every room of my home, I am inviting you. That's the purpose, to look at the image of the Sacred Heart. We become so familiar with it, but what was the revelation of the Sacred Heart? It's totally and completely love. Jesus came to Margaret Mary, and He said to her how much He loved us, and how He wanted her to tell the people about the love of His Sacred Heart. How did He appear to her? Look at the image. This is what happened. He not only rolled back His robe, but He actually rolled back His flesh. Can you imagine that? You're standing with Jesus, and He's standing there, and He wants to show you how much He loves you, and He rolls back the flesh on His side.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Session 19 Evangelism
"The visitation of evangelism is God's method. It's taught and practiced in the Bible. Capital letter A. New Testament examples, Luke 8 .1. I think it will be up here. It came to pass afterward that he went throughout every city and village preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God and the twelve were with him. Go to Luke 10 .1. Do you have that here? Go back to that one. I should have mentioned that. Luke 8 .1. After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whether he himself would come. Visitation evangelism requires that. I like the idea of two by two, frankly. I do like that. So they had thirty -five teams of two each going out, sent to every city and place for the Lord. Then we'll note Luke 10, the next two verses, two and three. Therefore the Lord Jesus said unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways, behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. So the message was, the harvest is great, I'm sending you out to reap the harvest, the laborers are few. You'll note the words, pray ye, comes before, go your ways. So we ought to pray and look to the Lord for that, for the blessing to come. How did they do it? Verse 19 says that the Lord said to them, Behold, I give unto you power. So he gives them the power to go. So there's pray first, go second, and God will give the power. We'll go to Acts, the fifth chapter, verses 40 and 42. To him they agreed, and when they had called the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. So they went everywhere teaching and preaching. And he sent them forth and they did it in the temple and in every house they preached and taught Jesus Christ.
Mark Levin
Judge Tanya Chutkan Should Be Nowhere Near a Courthouse
"Of transcripts from these various trials and quoted some of them in this recent article. And it was very clear that there is simply no way that this judge has met the rules of professional conduct for judges. So I looked at quotes the that she found that came straight out of this judge's mouth, mostly during the sentencing stage of these plea agreements or trials. And there are several of them in which she basically says Donald Trump is guilty, Donald Trump shouldn't be free, or the guy, she refers to him. She says the election was fair she and square, goes on and on and on. And you may agree with that, but this is one of the issues being litigated in front of her. And of course she picks March 4th, which is one day before Super Tuesday, the most important primary day on the calendar. And she, what I say, jumps the line. the She second was federal case brought, but now she's jumped in front of the first federal case, the one involving and the judge down there, because she wants to rush this, deny President Trump, and his Fifth Sixth Amendment rights, Fifth Amendment due process, Sixth Amendment is the effective representation of counsel, by forcing President Trump's lawyers, despite all the other litigation on, going at the same time, even if he had no other litigation going on, to conduct discovery and to review 12 pages of documents. And that's before they even on their own, you know, use information they have and gather their arguments and put them together and so forth. So the a government half had years, two and so it's obvious that this woman, I will say woman, even though you're not allowed to say woman anymore. Well, what do you want me
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from New Mortgage Programs Requiring LOW Downpayments Revealed (In Honor Of 9/11)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. Three, two, one, and we're back and we are going to be honoring the heroes and the victims of 9 -11 by talking about different programs that are available to first responders, firefighters, policemen, veterans. So what we're going to be doing today is we're going to be focusing in on different mortgage programs. A lot of you probably don't know about that have, you know, requirements for much less down and maybe have some lower credit requirements, things like that. Now these programs are for any, you know, firefighter or whatnot. It's not just available for those that were a part of 9 -11, but at the end of the day, this is our way of recognizing this really historic day in American, if not global history. So with that in mind, Julie Harris. Yes, that's right. And we all know that tragic event of 9 -11 happened more than two decades ago and we can't do anything to go back, but what we can do is honor those first responders. So this podcast is our way of doing just that by educating you, our listeners, real estate professionals about how to help those who helped others and are still being of service every day. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have our backs in times of need. So one of the best ways to help is to be of service yourself as a professional real estate advisor. Listen to all of these really great mortgage programs. Most agents and buyers don't know about any of these. These are for first responders and consider doing any or all of the following. There are more out there than just what we're going to discuss, but I chose some of the top ones. It's worth noting, we're not going to get through all these notes today on the podcast because there's a lot of details with links and all of that, so we've made this easy for you. Just scroll down in the show description, the show notes. There's obviously all of our notes from today and we are going to use our notes as closely as we can so that you guys have reference points because we know a lot of you are going to use this for training your own agents and your teams and your brokerage. This information is also fantastic to use in social media. Maybe you want to create some short videos around these different programs. I have to say it is kind of surprising and unfortunate that so many loan officers and frankly so many of you don't know about these different programs. Give yourself a competitive advantage in the marketplace and really learn as much as you can about all the different mortgage products out there. I realize that everyone kind of bemoans the fact that there's not enough homes for sale. Well that's going to start curing itself over the next 18 to 24 months and in the interim you better know how to help all the different folks out there that are going to be looking to purchase a home because you already see this happening. People are starting to say, well how am I ever going to buy a house? Houses are so expensive. I can't come up with a down payment. That's really the focus and obviously gearing it towards honoring the fallen victims of 9 -11. So drill down and if you're thinking that oh my gosh there's going to be a lot that Tim and Julia are about to tell me, you're correct but don't worry. The notes are in the show description below. And while you're there of course, join Premier Coaching. The link to join Premier Coaching is below and you do get full access to the entire first level of Premier Coaching and in addition to that you do get a daily semi -private coaching call with one of our Harris certified coaches.

So scroll down and click to join Premier Coaching. Alright so as always our job is to educate you, motivate you and get you into action. So today we're going to lead with five quick ways that you can indeed take action on what we're about to educate you on these different first responder programs. I'm going to go through these quickly. So there's five ways you can do something about this. Way number one, make a video about some of the special programs we're going to expose you to on today's podcast. Send it to your database, post it on your social media and submit a press release to your local media sources. Press releases don't cost you anything. It is, you know, that's a funny thing you just brought that up because it is fascinating how infrequently you hear about any of the local, even the very, you know, the community newspapers talking about these types of programs. That wasn't the way it was like 15, 20 years ago. Well, why is that? It's because of the advent of the three to three and a half percent mortgage on the 30 year fixed, which was the standard issue program for practically a decade it seems like. But you know, people didn't really need to know so much about this stuff when the standard 30 year fixed was pretty good. That's right. And if you're a loan officer, as many of you are also, you know, doing mortgages, it would be a really smart idea for you to make this your niche, having a real master level knowledge of all these different types of products. That's right. So you loan officers as well could make a video, should make a video about some of these programs. Then the second thing, take the information from today's podcast and do a Facebook live session or a series of Facebook live sessions, inviting your friends and followers to learn more about these loan programs. You can split the programs up and even do a weekly series. Way number three, you can do something about this. Work with a lender who specializes in first responder types of loans, FHA, VA, HUD programs, and interview them for a video, a Facebook live session, or some of, especially my elite clients have their own podcasts. You can certainly do it there. The fourth thing you could do is submit an article to your online and offline news publications about these available programs. Much of what you could put in your article, you can find in today's podcast notes. We've done some of the work for you. The fifth thing you can do is to create a first responder seminar or webinar in person or online. Present at a firehouse or several or police station or stations and see how many people you can help once they know about the special programs they probably qualify for. Bring your first responder program lender specialist with you to help answer questions. It's important to note here that though we are focused on first responders in honor of 9 -11, there are also similar programs available in many cities for teachers. That's right. We're going to talk about some of that stuff. Another good, if you're selling in a rural area, the FDA has a lot of interesting mortgage products out there, a lot of creative stuff that a lot of you don't know about, but you should be learning. That's right. I'll bring some of that to future series because this stuff is all coming out of the woodwork now.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/11/23
"There stars are in the southern sky and if ever you decide... If my research is correct, this was what the Madison Square Garden crowd heard to begin the show that Mike was in attendance for when he was in New York. I'm just watching guys play tennis, but this is what Mike did. I bet it was awesome. Mike and I were in New York City at the same time doing very different things. Wait a minute. Don't say Mike and I were in New York City. You created quite the drama by your refusal to spend even a second of time with me when you and your beautiful bride were celebrating your anniversary. Well, excuse me for not peeling away for schmooze time on an anniversary event. It took Peg Hudson to set Joe and me straight. Let me give you the backstory. Yes, there's always backstory. Your research is spot on. That was what they opened with. They all lined up across the front of the stage, including the great Vince Gill. Oh my God. That show was unbelievable. I mean, when's the last time you've gone to a concert and for two hours you hear the band just do hit after hit after hit after hit? Who can do that? It's not a long list. The Eagles can do it. And they did it. Opened up by Steely Dan. And in fairness, there's an example, three quarters of the songs, I don't remember it. I never heard of, but there's a couple of hits there for some of the great Steely Dan. And then of course, the Eagles with what was an incredible night at Madison Square Garden. But anyway, you're here, you're in town. I'm in town with Joey and Peg. We're seeing the Eagles and we saw a couple Broadway shows and I figured when Mark and Lisa go do stuff, it's Mark and Lisa time. And I should have known that. So I delicately said, hey, you want to get together for lunch or dinner while you're here? I mean, we don't see each other in person very much. And of course, as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, oh, we're slammed. Thank you. We're very busy. We're very busy. We're slammed. We're a little maxed out here. We're maxed out. And so Joey and I got all up in arms about it Saturday night. My man, my man, buddy card is being revoked. We went to dinner at a place called Centurion, New York, and I had a table set for you and Lisa. I mean, we were in a private room on the 55th floor of one Wondervelt. I'm not kidding you. It was unbelievable. It's this brand new dining experience. And we had a room with a table of six with three of us. And I kept saying, gosh, what, how perfect that would have been for Mark and Lisa to have joined us. And Joey and I started bellyaching about your rudeness. And then Peg says, it took a woman to point out, are you guys high? Right. Well, she says, do you think they want to spend their anniversary weekend with you talking shop? And I said, well, first of all, we're more than just shop. It's not just work. We're friends. Exactly. There's all kinds of commonalities and tastes and the culture in our lives. And we're intertwined, of course, it would have been lovely. But it wasn't because you didn't give us the time of day. I know my priorities. Well, you're right. Okay. I mean, good for you. And I hope you had a lovely weekend. So what exactly should I have given up? Should I have, well, here's a weird story because we thought that one night was going to be at the Arthur Ashe Stadium for tennis purposes. And the other one was going to be at Elio's in the Upper East Side, the restaurant where I proposed to her in March of 2002. So which of those should I have cashed in, you know, go hang out with y 'all as much as wonderful as that would have been. I mean, is the proposal restaurant all that significant? Come on. Yes, it is. But here's what's weird. Here's the weird thing that happened on tennis day. Do you know how weird tennis is trying to attend it? If you want to go to the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th, you can get a ticket right now for the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th. But if you want to go see Novak Djokovic, which is what my bride wanted to do, because from 10, 15 years ago, we're watching Nadal and Federer, and she just loves these guys. And we have loved watching tennis together on the TV box. And I said, for this anniversary, I'm taking you to the U .S. Open. It's like, great, we'll go see Djokovic or other great players, Daniel Medvedev, the young Carlos Alcaraz, who may be the next Nadal. But if you want to see Djokovic, you can't. He's not guaranteed to play on a particular day at a particular time. You can nail down the day. We did not know until hours ahead of time that Djokovic and Ben Shelton, the American, would be the early match. And silly me, I thought, there's no way. He's got to be the late match. So I bought tickets to the late match at no small expense. But then all of a sudden it's like, ding, ding, ding. Nope. That is Medvedev. He'll be playing Alcaraz at night and beat him, of course, because it was Djokovic and Medvedev. And Djokovic won in the final that we watched last night. It was great. So here's what I had to do. I've never done this before. I'm a big fan of the secondary market. So I had these tickets on Ticketmaster. In the old days. You tell me you sold tickets because I was desperately trying to get tickets to go. I'm going to kill you. What? No. I wanted to go so bad. To the open? I wanted to go to the open so badly I could taste it. And I went on the secondary market. You know, God's been good to me and I have a pretty good living. I ain't spending $14 ,000 a ticket. Okay. You want to talk real dollars? I'm going to do this. I am going to do this for my bride. She doesn't do mink coats or huge jewelry. You know, she's just one of the million reasons I love her. We were in unbelievable seats for the night, for the night one in the hundred level, the loge level. And they were $1 apiece. ,700 $1 ,700 apiece. So $3 ,400 to put my wife and me in these magnificent seats. Then we learned, guess what? Djokovic ain't playing at night. He's playing in the daytime. So now I got to go get seats to that. But here's the thing, since the world expected Djokovic to be at night, that's why those seats were $1 ,700. The moment it was announced, I flip immediately to the day session, got the exact same seats on the other side of Arthur Ashe Stadium for $600 apiece. Boom. Then I sold, with my phone still in my hand, sold the ones that I had bought. Obviously, their price went down a little bit. So I didn't make it all back. But I essentially paid for the other ones with the sale of the first ones. It is a crazy modern world, man. It is a crazy modern world. And heaven forbid you would have said to your talk show buddy, you want a couple tickets to the open because I would have bought them from you direct. I wouldn't even know. Funny, I don't know how to transfer them to another actual human being. Well, there's a way. There's got to be a way. All right. I think there's enough about that. Here's my proclamation. If I come to Dallas for a weekend, I'll make time to see you and Lisa, okay? And I will find a restaurant with a private room and a seat for anybody you want to bring. All right. We'll replicate it, Texas. Let me share with you the sights and sounds of what I experienced this morning walking into work here at 111 Broadway in lower Manhattan. All the police activity as the commemoration, the bell is ringing, observing the moment the flight hit the North Tower. Twenty -two years, Mark. The moment you know well. Boy. You were in the Empire State. Sure was. And we're going to relive that today on the show as we always do. We're also going to play that beautiful faith -filled tribute called Silent Night that our friends at KRLA in Los Angeles made many years ago where God, you just don't believe it, but he has a plan and he is always, always with us, even in our darkest hours. So, you know, Axios had an interesting piece this morning about how young men and women enlisting today and joining the military. They don't have that sense of understanding or recognition of 9 -11. So many people became members of the military because of 9 -11. It was such a movement in this country and it was beautiful and it continues to be. And they're in their mid -forties now. Correct. You know, ish. And you think about, I mean, there are people of legal adulthood, 21 years old now, who were not alive for 9 -11. Absolutely. For them, it's not like it's Pearl Harbor or anything, but it's just something that happened before I was born. I got to wrap my head around that. It's interesting that I heard, that's a second time today, though, I've heard somebody say, well, it's not like Pearl Harbor. I really feel it is. Just to me, it's, maybe it's because of our age and, you know, we run around. Here's the crazy thing. You and I were both born less than 20 years afterward. Correct. After Pearl Harbor. So it was just something that had recently happened. That's right. Had a certain stigma and, you know. So I think about the people who joined the military on behalf of those who died on 9 -11 and fighting for our freedoms, fighting against tyranny. And Mark, I am stunned at the rapid way tyranny has come to our own governance. I read an article the other day in the New York Times. It's an opinion piece, to be fair. Trump indict Trump's indictments, the key players in the 2020 election effort. And Mark, they did one of these and I read it online, one of these comprehensive articles about how everybody who questioned in any way, shape or form the outcome of the 2020 election is a co -conspirator in the election denialism that is traitorous, that is traitorous, that's treason. Now, attack on democracy. Right now, never mind all the Democrats, including Hillary on down, who lined up in question the outcome of 2016. I guess that doesn't count. I'm sure the New York Times didn't do, you know, an extensive piece on this, but they've got everybody ensnared in this, Mark. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley. We saw Lindsey Graham almost got indicted in Fulton County. And all they were doing was saying, what happened here? And exactly daring to inquire. And that has become a tactic of the left. And I think COVID, tell me if you agree with me, COVID broke the door open on this. If you dared question the vaccine or if you dared question the lockdowns, you were shut down. You lost your social media status. Some people lost their jobs. Look at the, look at all the airline pilots we lost because they wouldn't get vaccinated. And that kind of opened the door. And now it comes to the, to election integrity and the New York Times and people who think like them want to weaponize our free speech right to question anything. And criminalize it. And so your metaphor is apt. It absolutely is. And I hope it goes a similar way that the COVID extremism did. And that is that the pendulum swings. And now we have relative rationality, even though I did see in New York City, people walking around by themselves in Washington Square Park, wearing a mask outside. But not many, right? Not very many at all. Listen, I almost wanted a mask to keep away from the weed smell. I asked a New York City cop, what's with the weed? And he told me, he said, look, it's legal. You can't have enough where you're trying to sell it. You can't give it to kids, blah, blah, blah. But it's pretty, and I said, has it been a problem? He said, not really. He said, I don't like it either, but it's people doing, so, but not to divert. So your metaphor is apt. I hope that the pendulum swings, as it did with COVID, and I hope it does it maybe even quicker because the, because the Fauci's and the various other people who hit us with this have been proven so terribly, terribly wrong and corrupt so relatively quickly. I hope that can happen on weaponization of election. Well, Mark, there's reason to be optimistic. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling, huge win for free speech where this appeals court upheld the prohibiting government officials from communicating with social media companies. There was a preliminary junction. The defendants include Joe Biden, the U .S. Surgeon General, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and the courts are agreeing that it is absolutely unlawful for government officials to try to censor speech on social media. Of course it is. Well, it took a long time. Sure. Well, listen, justice delayed is justice denied. But that's the pendulum swinging. And I hope you, speaking of New York, I hope you saw the New York -based shrews over on The View Friday, Anna Navarro and the rest of them now complaining about the illegals in New York City saying they need to be resettled elsewhere. Anna Navarro and the rest of them on The View want to kick illegals out of New York. How unwelcoming. Oh, how well, how unchristian -like of them. But listen, I heard somebody say this somewhere else and it's true. People like Greg Abbott and others have called Eric Adams bluff. Yep. We've called their bluff. We've said, all right, you want to be a sanctuary city? Here's what it looks like. This is it. Welcome to Texas. Every day, the amount. Welcome to El Paso. And, you know, so golly, I hope the pendulum is swing. Great to have you back. It is wonderful to be back. Great to kick off a big, big week. I'll be in Philly tonight for a big event with Dennis Prager and Pastor Robert Jeffers. Faith and Freedom Coalition event. And then back here on in New York Tuesday and then back to Florida. So, OK, this is crazy. Mr. Acela corridor. You're in Philadelphia for an event tonight. I'm on the 115 Acela. I love that train. In the morning? 115 this afternoon. To get there. But where are you doing the show tomorrow morning? From Philly, from AM 990. And then taking the Acela back. And I have to admit, I'm not a big train travel fan. Yep. I like that Acela. Yep. Pretty cool. And, you know, I think I've got to be in first class just so I can, as an observer, experience what that first class experience must be like. If you're going to do it, do it. You might as well go up front, you know, and or actually in the back. Sometimes the first class on the Acela is on the way in the back. But I still like walking over to the cafe car and getting a hot dog. Kicking it old school. Absolutely. Yeah. Love it. Love it. Big week. All right. Happy Monday, my friend. Happy Monday.

The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from The Fallacy of Limitations
"Lots of channels. Nothing to watch. Especially if you're searching for the truth. It's time to interrupt your regularly scheduled programs with something actually worth watching. Salem News Channel. Straightforward, unfiltered, with in -depth insight and analysis from the greatest collection of conservative minds. Like Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, Sebastian Gorka, and more. Find truth. Watch 24 -7 on SNC .TV and on Local Now, Channel 525. Hey, everybody. What is the limiting belief of the conservative movement? We dive into that and reflect on a very candid episode here on The Charlie Kirk Show. Make sure you're subscribed and listen to the end of this episode for a special announcement. Also, email me your thoughts, as always, freedom at charliekirk .com. That's freedom at charliekirk .com. Subscribe to our podcast by opening up your podcast application and typing in Charlie Kirk Show. And get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. I have the greatest job on the planet. I get fulfillment, purpose in what I do. Not only do I get three hours with you every single day, three podcasts a day, reaching millions of people, social media and podcasting. I also, of course, my continued and original passion is running Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action. At Turning Point USA, we have hundreds of full -time staffers working on high school and college campuses across the country, Turning Point Action. We are staffing up and staffing up 60 to 70 full -time people and getting even more. As you know, we have our ballot chasing operation. And as part of my duties as founder and CEO of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, I have to raise a fair amount of money. And I don't mind it. You know, the Lord has blessed us significantly. I kind of cringe at times when people are too hard on this idea of donors. There are some amazing donors in the conservative movement. We are evidence of that at Turning Point USA. Donors that get it, donors that are based, donors that are driven, donors that are filled with faith and conviction. That's not a majority of all the quote unquote donors. There's plenty that don't get it. And on this program, we're able to deliver predictions, insight that I think other shows aren't because we're in the grassroots. I give hundreds of speeches a year. Tonight, we're doing an event with Riley Gaines at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona. This weekend, I'm giving a couple speeches in Lubbock, Texas at a church. So I talked to the grassroots. I talked to pastors. But I also have an interesting wrinkle as well that I think we're able to offer on this program that other programs aren't. I talked to the people in the high society, the Republican Party. Senators, consultants, chiefs of staff, and the more moderate wing of donors, if you will. So I get a 360 degree multidimensional view of the American right. I'm very blessed by that. And so I kind of have to weigh it, depending on what room I'm in. I just read the temperature. I always ask more questions than not because people know what I believe. If they ask me questions, I answer them. But let me just watch the show. So I'm always interested. I just kind of pepper with questions. What are you seeing? What are you hearing? What are you doing? And it's so interesting. With some donors, again, we have some amazing donors at Turning Point. So I'm going to just put that off to the side. But some donors where I'm not... Let's just say they're not exactly simpatico with all of our views here on The Charlie Kirk Show, especially if they are not sympathetic for Trump, which is fine. I mean, I'm not here to say you have to love Trump. You have to understand what's happening. But there was one conversation recently that I want to fill you in on. That I think is something that is a big danger, and it's not isolated to just a particular person. I think it's all throughout the leadership of the Republican Party. And it was a conversation that I had recently with a moderate donor, and we get along well. And you hear me talk about these conversations frequently because I have them. I'm raising money all the time, trying to raise $100 million to go chase ballots in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia, the stuff the Republican establishment should be doing. Literally, when I'm done with this program, I go into my office, eat something quickly. I'm just working the phones, working the phones. Zoom call, phone call, zoom call, phone call, zoom call, phone call. I love it. It gives life purpose. But this one conversation recently, I think, accurately depicts one of the issues facing the American right. And I call it the fallacy of limits. What is a limiting belief? A limiting belief is a story that you tell yourself. We all have limiting beliefs. And if you're honest with yourselves, when you pray, when you meditate, when you reflect, when you ruminate, you identify your limiting belief and you try to challenge it. A limiting belief holds you back. And it holds you back from becoming who or what you are meant to be. These beliefs limit us from reaching our fullest potential. They're often subconscious, by the way. They're very rarely identified in your normal thought pattern or in your words. But when you find them, you're like, wow, I was living under the tyranny of a limiting belief. I was also not as free, happy, joyful as I possibly could have been. We don't even know that until somebody points them out to us. Typically, limiting beliefs are identified externally. A friend, a pastor, a priest, a rabbi, a parent, a spouse, they say, you realize that your limiting belief is I don't have time to work out. Or my limiting belief is I can never lose weight. Or my limiting belief is X, Y, Z, X, Y, Z. Now, Tony Robbins talks about this a lot. Tony Robbins writes about this. He's not a political guy. He's one of the most influential authors and speakers. I've benefited a lot from his teachings. Maybe you like him, maybe you don't. The point is he talks a lot about limiting beliefs. I think he's right on. What is the limiting belief or the fallacy of limits in the high society of the American right? I'm hearing it more and more and more. And it goes something like this. Oh, the left, they're going to back off soon. They've overreached, and they're going to back off. That the left is going to realize that they've gone too far, that they're too radical, that they're too fringe, and they're just going to kind of go backwards. Now, the more I hear this, and we've touched on this before, it's very important. You have to understand that many of these people saying this are in their 70s and 80s. Obviously, nothing wrong with that. But they remember a country that is dead, and it's very hard for them to reconfigure, to reanalyze, reorient that they're in a different atmosphere than the one they grew up in. I sympathize with that. I really do. I'm 29 years old, and the country I grew up in is completely different. Completely different. Our federal government now says men give birth, we don't have a border. I mean, the stuff that we now accept as normal was considered radical, unthinkable, a laugh or a joke when I was in fifth or sixth grade. So it's even worse if you're 70 or 80 years old. You're looking around and you say, what on earth is going on? However, the limiting belief that still exists is not just that, oh, the country is going to solve itself, it's that there's some sort of autocorrect mechanism built in to the American people. That's what I hear a lot. It's like, oh, Charlie, never underestimate the American people's ability to self -correct. What are we, like an autonomous vehicle? What kind of crazy fallacy is that, that we're just going to kind of automatically reorient back to where we need to be? No, it takes effort. That's an act of the will. It needs to be deliberate. It needs to be intentional. You have to be persuasive. That just doesn't happen by some sort of magical force of the natural law.

Mark Levin: The Democrat Party's Fetish for the 14th Amendment
"The amendment that supports such an interpretation. Here's the relevant language the validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing correction or rebellion shall not be questioned but neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave but all such debts obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void so in other words as I explain in my new book The Democrat Party hates America. Nobody was challenging the validity of the debt. Second, the language is specific to Civil War related debt. Third, the language says nothing about fundamentally altering the way the federal government raises revenue or pays debt. Fourth, repeat to repeat the language in legislative history no way support the proposition that the core power of Congress was replaced is or to repealed. Fifth, the language does not and was never intended to abolish separation of powers which is core to our constitutional system. The proponents of this absurdity would have turned Biden into a bigger dictator than he already is. But none of this mattered to the proponents. seek They power in any course and they will be using this again. The Democrat Party, their media and their academicians cannot rewrite the Constitution by interpretation. Then they argue for abolishing it all together and replacing it with a more so -called relevant document. That is a document that ensures their monopoly power and destroys our founding principles. After all, how many times
Available Worldwide
A highlight from Jessica Hayden | Writer, Lawyer, DiploMomma
"Welcome to Available Worldwide, the podcast by, for, and about the accompanying partners of the U .S. Foreign Service. Welcome to Available Worldwide. I'm Stephanie Anderson here today with Jessica Hayden. Welcome Jessica. Thank you so much. So your byline is writer, lawyer, and diploma. I'm sure we're going to be talking about all three of those titles today. Let's get started with a few quick fire questions just to get to know you. So Jessica, what are some of your hobbies? What do you do for fun? I love to run. I have a group of friends from when we lived in Turkey that we still get together every few years to do races together. So running is a big pastime for me. I like to read. I try to like to cook. I'm not always great at it, but I enjoy it. And I used to knit a ton and my daughter's taken it up, so I'm trying to, trying to start knitting again. I love that you said you try to like to cook. Well, it's one of those things, especially when you're living overseas, there's certain things that you just can't get as easily, right? Like tortillas. So I've taught myself to make tortillas or things that the kids really like. So we try. Speaking of tortillas, what's your favorite comfort food? It's definitely anything Italian. So I grew up in a town that was half Polish, half Italian. And so our school meals would be a lot of pasta, a lot of pierogies. So my favorites are baked seedy and lasagna and the stuff that puts on five pounds in the winter. I mean, it's kind of the definition of comfort food. Absolutely. Not a salad. So I know you guys just moved to The Hague. You're currently sitting in an empty house with your welcome kit and not much else. The Drexel. And the Drexel. I can see all the Drexel behind you. When you move, is there anything impractical that you carry around the world with you? We right now own a 200 -pound Turkish door from the west coast of Turkey. It's beautiful. It is so heavy and adds so much weight. And this time I brought it. I didn't want to put it in storage again, so it is completely impractical. It's a huge piece of art. It's very hard to hang on the wall, but we brought it because I love it. I can picture it. I'm sure it's gorgeous. But 200 pounds. Wow. Yeah. That's a commitment. It's ridiculous. So you've mentioned Turkey. So what other countries have you lived in? So we actually have progressively moved west. So our first tour was in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and in between each tour we went back to the U .S. But we've been in Kazakhstan, Baku, Azerbaijan, Ankara, Turkey, our fifth year there my husband did an unaccompanied assignment in Iraq. And then we were in Ukraine and now we're in the Netherlands. So let's get into talking about sort of the progression of your life as a Foreign Service accompanying partner. I know you started in this lifestyle pretty early on in your marriage. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Sure. I met my husband actually playing kickball in D .C. and he was already in training for the Foreign Service. So we knew pretty early on we'd have a big decision to make whether we were going to I remember can't exactly when he found out he was going to Kazakhstan, but it seemed pretty obvious that that was too far to date. And so after about a year of dating, we got engaged. And so I finished my first year of law school and then we moved to Kazakhstan six weeks later after we got married. We got married right after my first year of law school. So yeah, we've been doing this. It's been part of our relationship and marriage since the beginning. Can you remember back? Was that a really difficult decision for you to make between finishing law school in the U .S. and moving to Kazakhstan? It's interesting because I always felt like I could make everything work and it might not work in the way that you typically do things. So when I started law school, I remember going into the administration really early and explaining the situation. And I said, well, you have five years to finish, so you don't have to do it in three years. You can do it in five. So we went into it knowing we'd be in Kazakhstan for two years and that we would have to come back to the States next time. So I could finish law school. So early on, we kind of hopscotched. It was his career for a couple of years and then my career for a couple of years. At some point, that became very complicated. But it did work pretty well as a baseline understanding between the two of us. You did manage to finish law school within the five years. And that resonates with me, the idea that you looked at and you're like, I can make this work. Like, there's always a way to make it work. And then you were able to actually work in law when you were abroad? I was, yeah. It was really important to me. So I attended Georgetown. So my husband was able to still work in D .C. and I was local. And I really wanted to do a clerkship, which is where you work for a judge for a year. And so we made it work that we could stay in the States for those three years. And so I started out clerking for a judge. We're actually based in the West for a year, which was pretty neat and not very typical. I And then was able to get a fellowship when we moved to Azerbaijan next. So I did a freedom of speech fellowship with the American Bar Association. So it probably wasn't the typical path I would have taken, but it opened up a really interesting experience. I got to work in an NGO and then we came back to the States after that so I could practice at a law firm for a few years. So again, it was this kind of, you know, you get two years in Baku and you're kind of the lead and then we'll go back to D .C. where I can, you know, it might not have been his dream position back in D .C., but I got to do something that I thought was important for my career. I know a lot more people are teleworking these days. Do you think you could have done it teleworking or for your career was it important to have that time back in the U .S. to get more established? It was pretty important to come back to D .C. at that point. And I do know it is so different after COVID. I do know a lot of lawyers started after law school during COVID and did it remotely. I was doing a lot of litigation, which is very jurisdiction specific. So it was it I think it was instrumental to be here and then also to make the connections within that law firm, which were really helpful when we went back out again, because I had this pipe dream that I would be able I was working for a client and I talked my way into doing a bribery case. And I had this thought that kind of ironic, you talked your way into doing a bribery case. I talked my way in without bribing, no bribery at all. But, you know, litigation is very U .S. specific. I had this thought that if I could get involved in anti -corruption work, that's something that in the past 10 years has exploded in corporate America. Every corporation has a compliance department. They do a lot with anti -bribery, with sanctions. They're desperate for U .S. trade lawyers who are willing to travel to all of these different places. And so it's one of the things I kind of thought, well, this might be a path and it ended up working out. So I was very lucky to have a mentor whose daughter had married a Foreign Service officer and she was a lawyer as well. And they had been actually posted in Istanbul and she had a really hard time finding work there. And so I felt like he very much facilitated for me what he wished somebody had done for his daughter. And he was very helpful in talking to the client and kind of going to bat for me to say, you know, she can work, she can do this work from Truckee when you move. And so it wasn't, you know, in a different world, I probably would have loved to have stayed at the law firm for a few more years, but it really was at the time a great next step and allowed me to continue practicing through that next move. That's amazing having someone advocate for you and just to understand where you're coming from and the challenges.
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep370: How Often Should You Release Episodes In A Week?
"You've got to put out a little bit more. You've got to give them that content. You've got to be the squeaky wheel that is going to get the grease. You've got to constantly be in front of them, adding value to them, or they're going to go and find somebody who does. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up, podcaster? It's your host, Adam A. Adams. And in this episode, we are discussing how many episodes should you be publishing each week or each month. And I think it's a great question. I think that there's a lot of people that come to me and they want me to help them. They want me to support them by growing their podcast. And I ask them, how many episodes are publishing? And they tell me that it's, oh, we're really consistent every single month. I go, okay, how many in the month though? And they're like one every month. And there's others that come to me and they say, they go every other week, we want to make sure we are keeping this consistent. And here I'm about to share with you how often you should publish and why. Some of the pros, some of the cons. If you're publishing multiple times a week, are you going to just bother people leave you? Are they going to ignore you? Are they going to hang up on you? Are they going to be like, I can't even listen to that many. I can't listen to this guy or this gal every single day. I'm out. Are they going to say that? So let's dive in and understand this. Well, I want to start with a story. I want to start with a personal story. This is the podcast on podcasting. And when I launched the podcast, I launched it with six episodes right away. That is actually a course for launching a top rated podcast and actually launching with multiple episodes is one of the tricks for that. So we start with six and then I think I was doing two or four a week and I ramped it up to six a week. And as soon as I started doing six episodes a week and for your information, that is three solo episodes like this one right now and three interview episodes. So I would interview people every Wednesday and I would try to do five or six interviews almost every Wednesday. And then I would kind of scramble because it's not always easy for me to be honest. It's not always easy for me to record my solo episodes because I don't really have anyone to be accountable to except myself. And I like to give myself grace. So if you're like me, it might get tough to do three solos a week and all of those others. Plus, I'm an advocate for recording before you need to produce. And what does that mean? That means whatever amount that you are publishing each week, I want you to record more than that. Most likely by batching them. Batching them means like, for example, I'm going to record five or six episodes all right now. And that'll get me through a few weeks, right? Now, going back to the history of start off with a six, then I did two or four and I ramped it up to six a week. I needed to ramp it up because I had so much content available because I always wanted to record ahead of time. And I had this giant bank account. Think of finances. What does everybody tell you? You should have six months in the bank. You should have a year in the bank. Some people might say you need six weeks in the bank. I would say for podcasting, six weeks is kind of the minimum. What that means is you want to have recorded and get them starting to be edited and ready to publish, scheduled to publish all the artwork for promotion, ready to go. All the copy for promotion, ready to go six weeks ahead of time. Now you're allowed to get COVID, which both of my kids have COVID today. And I hope I don't get it. And that's one of the reasons why I'm recording five or six episodes right now is because I might not be able to talk for a week just to make sure that I get it done sooner than later. So this bank account means the recorded basically published, they're queued into your platform already and they're scheduled. The timer is ready to go. At that time, they automatically go. Now you're allowed to get COVID. Yeah. You're allowed to go on vacation. You're allowed to take Christmas off, Thanksgiving off or whatever holidays you may or may not celebrate. You can do all that. You can relax. You can take the summer off if you need to, if you've got a bank account of all of these episodes. So now that you kind of see, no matter what number it is, if it's one a week, whether it's one a month, you need to record them well in advance, get them edited and scheduled to publish so that you're never behind the eight ball. You're always ahead of the game. Again, you're never behind the eight ball. You're never having that, oh shit moment. You're always ahead of the game. You're always one step ahead. You've got that bank account, your bank of episodes ready to go. And now we can talk about how many episodes you should publish. When going into my history, I did six for a while. And when I was publishing six, it was a little hard. It was a little much. It was doable. I did it for a long, long time. And I built up my company through the podcast because of doing that. And as I was ramping this up, and I'm going to give you some real numbers. And right now the company brings in about $45 ,000 a month. And we can attribute most of that through the podcast, almost all of it directly through the podcast. And then most of the rest of it from referrals. And again, because of the podcast. So somebody who's listening, maybe you hired us and then you told your friend and they hired us too. And because of the podcast, right now we're making around $45 ,000 a month. Here's the thing. Don't share too much because I've been doing two episodes a week. Listen carefully. This is important. I've been doing two episodes for a week now for quite a while, probably since the beginning of this year, which was eight or nine months ago. So what am I saying to you? I'm saying that I made a shit ton more money back then when we were bringing in six figures a month. We were bringing in six figures a month. We had to make between 90 and 120 every single month. We averaged around a hundred grand almost to the penny each month. We were on cue to make a million dollars, right? Not to make it and it's all in Adam's pocket, but to gross it, to gross that number. And if you've business, you could do that too. So here's the thing. I got to a place where I slowed down those episodes. So I was doing six a week and we were making six figures. I slowed it down to two a week and we went all the way down to $45 ,000. It would be bad if it was $45 ,000. I wouldn't be able to pay anything. I've got too many employees. So right now we've been losing money for a few months. My company has actually been losing money for a few months. And I'm like, why? I'm taking it back to the basics. It's because we've been doing two episodes a week instead of six episodes a week. And now it sounds crazy, but I'm going to give you some of the reasons so that you understand it a little bit better. I'm going to give you some of the reasons behind this. So before I do that, I'll let you know I'm making a change right now. I'm making a change immediately. We're switching from two a week to four a week right now. And we might go to the six. I'm not sure if we're going to go to the six automatically because we don't have a big enough bank account. We don't have enough episodes already recorded, prerecorded. Because if you have been with me for a little bit, you remember back a few episodes ago where I mentioned that, hey, we ran out of episodes. And so I had to start asking friends to get their best guests so that I could start doing more interviews so that we'd be ready and set. So we've got enough of those that we're able to go to four a week instead of two a week. And I'm fully expecting to go from 45 ,000 a month to closer to 80 ,000 a month just by doing that one thing. Can you imagine? I'm kicking myself. I'm not that flexible. I'm flexible -ish, but not that flexible. I'm kicking myself in the ass right now because it's like just doing two more episodes for me, going from two to four, should be bringing in an extra $35 ,000, maybe even $40 ,000 a month. It should be able to. And that's really the only thing I have to change. That's really the only thing you have to change. Right now, you might be at one a week or every other week. Can you imagine what would happen if you boosted that up? So now let's get into the reasons and the science behind why this works. I was speaking at a conference a long, long time ago. Man, I'm surprised it was in 2018. So this is like five or six years ago and not to date myself, but yeah, this was many years ago. So I was speaking on a stage and a guy named Joe Fairless runs the event. And it was actually, I was backstage, not yet speaking. I had to follow Joe. I was the person who went after Joe and the person who runs the whole thing. And he's great speaker. He's very, very knowledgeable. And also he's very funny because he was a comedian for a while. He went and took comedian classes in New York and actually got on stages for that. So he's very personable. He's very honest. He's very open. He's very educated, very smart, very wise and easy. He easily breaks things down in a way that others can also understand it. And this lady at the end of his presentation, it goes to Q &A. And one of the first questions, like the third question is this lady on the front row, all the way stage right. So on the left side and I could see her because I was on stage left on the right side. So I'm looking and I can only see like 20 of the people that are sitting down out of the 600 or 650. And so I can only see a couple of them. So it was nice. I saw her raising her hand for a while and he finally picked on her. That sounds like you're in grade school and he's pulling her pony towels or calling her names. He picked her, he selected her and he said, what's your question? And she said, Joe, if you had to do all of this, your podcast all over again, because he was suggesting others in the, actually I forgot to mention this. He was telling his audience that they should start podcasts. The woman, she goes, Joe, if you had to start it all over again, would you still do a daily podcast? And Joe didn't even really have to think. He just said, no, I wouldn't do a daily podcast. And I thought it was interesting how he phrased it because you would expect him to say some smaller number. Like I wouldn't do it daily. I would go to one a week, or I wouldn't do it daily. I would go to three a week. Nobody knew what he was going to say next. And then he said it and it surprised the entire audience. He said, I would do a twice daily podcast. The reasons why he would do it twice daily from seven days a week, seven episodes per week to 14 episodes per week. It sounded crazy, almost like blasphemy. Like, why would you put yourself through that hell, Joe? So he goes on to say that the conversations that he's had with other real estate entrepreneurs in his field, the conversations that he's had have brought people closer to him, closer to his business. He's been able to do joint venture deals with people. He's been able to find more deals because of it. He's been able to grow his network much faster because he's having that many conversations with other people. And he says that you're more likely to get your episodes shared with other people. And simply you also have just more shareable content and you have more guests that would be willing to maybe share the episode that they were on. So with these conversations, with constantly being in front of people, which is my next point, he's always in front of people. Think of when you publish an episode, think of it as finding a way to finally get back to the first page of Google. But then tomorrow you're on the second page of Google. Then the next day you're on the third page and then the next thing you're on the fourth page. People are not going to find you when you're on the second and third and also fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh page. They're not going to find you. If you're going every other week, they're not going to find you for two weeks. They're going fill their time with something or someone else. I have a friend and she's a great person, awesome, awesome person. And I'm not contoning or condemning her right now. I am just saying that her husband was working a lot of hours and she went out on the side. She went hooked up with some other man a couple of times, and then she felt bad about it. And she told her husband, and then he changed his work schedule so they could start getting back together. And she wouldn't have the need or she wouldn't feel the need to go outside the marriage. Think about this with you and your listener, having an intimate relationship. You've got to put out. I know that's crass. I'm not trying to offend you. You've got to put out. You have to give and take. You have to be there for them in many ways. Maybe when you've been married for 30, 40, 50 years, it's different. But when you're young, in your 20s and your 30s, and probably even in your 40s, that part of the intimacy is really, really important. And not just the sexual part, but now we're also talking to the emotional part of intimacy and sharing and having a dialogue with somebody who cares and gets you. And you don't want your listener to go outside of your podcast marriage. And so you got to put out a little bit more. You got to give them that content. You got to be the squeaky wheel that is going to get the grease. You've got to constantly be in front of them, adding value to them, or they're going to go and find somebody who does. This takes me back to this show that I'm going to finally put back up soon. Maybe I'll even get off of these podcast episode recordings today, and then I'll go straight over to Netflix and I'll re -add this show because it left me for a long time because it wasn't putting out and I had needs. And so I went and found another show. It's called Ozark Badass Show. We get to season four after COVID for a little while, and we finally publish the next season. I'm so freaking excited. I start it the same week that it comes out. I was anticipating it. I was searching for that stuff on the search engines and it published and I start watching it and half the season came and then it ended. And I was like, are you serious? So what did I do? Did I sit there on my thumbs and not watch any other show? No, I went and found myself another show. My show wasn't putting out, so I had to go and get my needs fulfilled elsewhere. So I went and found another show and got excited about it. And I was in love with it. And we went to the grand finale and then I found another show and went all the way through and I found another show. And going back to Ozark, it's been years. It's actually almost two years since they republished this second half of season four. And I still haven't listened to it. It's not because I'm not excited about it or don't love it. It's because I am getting distracted by those other movies or shows that I started watching. And so think of it like this. If you're on the sixth page of Google or if you're on the third page of Google where it's hard to find people, this is really what I'm talking about, the first page of Apple podcast. When you publish an episode, you're at the top front and center, upper left, right there where people are going to see you. And then when the other people that they're subscribed to, because most people are subscribed to 30 shows, most people are subscribed to 30 shows. I know I'm subscribed to way more, but let's average it out. A lot of people are subscribed to two or three or six, and a ton of people are subscribed to 20 or 30, 40. And then I am subscribed to way, way more. So it's hard for me to see it unless they just published because it pushes and pushes and pushes that down out of the way. It's no longer in my view, out of sight, out of mind. It's not that I wouldn't want to watch it if it was there in front of me and available, but it's not available. I don't see it. It's not there. Another podcast is there and it's going to catch my attention and I'm going to go outside the marriage podcast wise, and I'm going to click on that other podcast. Even if I committed to this other one, I can't find it, but I can find this one today. So I'm going to watch it. So the point is Joe Fairless, when I was speaking at his conference, he was on stage, that woman raised her hand and said, would you still do seven a week? It seems crazy. And he said, no, I wouldn't do seven. I would do 14. I'm already the longest running real estate podcast, daily real estate podcast in the world. How can I change it now? I wish I could, but how can I change it now? So luckily for me, I don't have a claim to being the longest running twice a week show. So I'm going to four a week right now, and I'm going to work to get my bank account full and I'm going to go to six a week. And here's why. It only takes me about two hours a week to make an extra $35 ,000 a month. It only takes me an extra two hours of work to make an extra $35 ,000 in my bank account. That's why I'm increasing it. So I want you to consider going from the one every other week to at least one a week, or trying to go from the one longer one a week to maybe a long one and a short one in that week. Just double it. Maybe you can go from the $6 ,000 you're making through your podcast each month, and maybe you can double that easily to 10 or 12 or $13 ,000 that you can contribute, or is it contribute or attribute? I said the wrong word. That you can attribute directly to the podcast. So I want to challenge you and encourage you to increase it. Increase it to the highest number that you believe you can sustain. If that's one a week, awesome. If you can go to two or three or four a week, like I'm doing right now, awesome. If you can go to six and you do it before me, I will give you mad respect and mad props. Furthermore, when you start making more money through your podcast, because you follow through this challenge, as soon as you start making that additional money, I want you to call me. I want you to send me an email, call me, get a hold of me and say, Adam, it's working. And then I'm going to say, come on the show. Let others know about how this gave you success by just following through this one thing. So be committed to following through with that. Now we get some more of the science and numbers, and I gave you a lot details because Joe is the one who taught those details. You're in front of more people. You have more shareable content. You're more likely to get it shared by the guest. You're having better conversation with more people. You're growing your network and you're more likely to get more business. So why is that? And here's another analogy. You are driving down the street and you're looking for a gas station and your GPS says there is a gas station five miles to the north. The closest gas station, your GPS says, is five miles to the north. And so you turn on that road and you start going north and you're following the GPS. And about five, six minutes later, you see not just that gas station, but you also see three other gas stations because for some reason there's a gas station on every single corner there. So think of it like this. I want you to understand that when there's one gas station on a corner, when there's one gas station there, this is talking about number of episodes, that gas station owner barely scrapes by. Think of it like the podcaster who has one episode a week and they're barely scraping by. You go to a corner where there's two gas stations. Both of those gas stations are doing okay. It's weird because if you're the only gas station on the corner, you barely make money. You're breaking even. You're struggling just to pay yourself when you have one gas station or one episode a week. But when there comes in a gas station across the street, what you would think is the people that are coming to you, half of them are going to go to that other place and that you were going to lose business because you had a closed minded mindset. And it was a small mindset that believed that if somebody goes across the street, they're going to take half of your people. But what really happens, what really actually starts happening is both gas stations do better than either one could if they were by themselves. Both of your episodes will get more downloads per each episode, not the same amount per episode, and certainly not less or fewer downloads per episode, but actually both episodes will get more because you have more shareable content, more people that you're connecting with, more people that might share your content with somebody else. And you're on the first page of Google or the first page of Apple podcasts more often since you're publishing every Monday and Friday or whatever the days are. You've got all of these benefits. And so you start making more money, just like those gas stations. And when there's a third gas station, they are all making bank. And when there's four gas stations, they are all making so much money, they don't even know what to do with it. So this is why you find that when there's a gas station or a fast food restaurant, for example, when there's a McDonald's and then they put a Burger King and a Wendy's and Taco Bell all in the same area, all of those restaurants make more money than if there was less. When you start having three episodes a week, four episodes a week, five or six episodes a week, you start getting more downloads per episode. And my mom is a great example of this. I think she started out wanting to do less and she's doing pretty sure it's three episodes a week and she's getting great traction. We just launched with her just a couple of months ago. And she already told me the other day that she had like 20 ,000 downloads. And I go and look at the average podcast that is out there and I look and see what happens after one full year or sometimes two years, it takes them to get five to 10 ,000 downloads. And that's because they are doing one episode a week or every other week. And then my mom comes around and she's not sure if she can do more than one. She's not sure if she wants to spend the time. But when we have tough love, because we're family, I'm like slap her in the face. Not literally. As a mom, you got to do more. You got to do more. You got to do more. So she picks something like three. And all of a sudden she's got 20 ,000 downloads in the first few months when these other people in two years can't even get 5 ,000 or 10 ,000 downloads. There's a huge difference. It makes a big, big difference. So wrapping up today's episode, how many episodes per week or per month should you do? And the answer is as many as you possibly can, but at least, at least, at least one a week. You shouldn't even have a podcast. You can't do one a week consistently. And I want to challenge you. If you've already got your show, if your show's already up and running right now, double the production. Go from two to four, go from one to two, go from three to six. Double the promotion. And I think you're going to see that you're pretty close to double your gross income, the gross revenue for your company as well. I'll see you on the next episode. You're not alone if you're ready to either get your very first affordable microphone, or if you're ready to upgrade your equipment to some legit podcasting studio equipment. Because on all of the forums over the last few months, I'm seeing this all the time. Even my own personal clients that work with my team, they're ready to get that next microphone. They're asking us for it. Additionally, when I'm on discovery calls with potential clients, they're always asking for this stuff. Hey, what mic do you recommend? Hey, what lighting do you recommend? What webcam should I be using? So many questions. And so what we did, my whole team has put together a PDF so that if you're one of those people who is looking to either get your very first affordable microphone, or if you're ready to upgrade your equipment to more professional podcast studio equipment, whether it's soundproofing or whatever, we've got you covered by going to growyourshow .com forward slash PDF, and you can download the PDF for free, or right there on the web page is everything that you would have and you don't need to download the PDF. Either way, just go to growyourshow .com forward slash PDF, which will put you to the podcasting equipment that me and my team have personally vetted. I'll see you on the next episode.
Dennis Prager Podcasts
A highlight from Is There a Devil?
"You know, I so love this opening theme that I wonder how many people tune into Dennis and Julie just to hear the music. Credit to Richard Friedman. Correct. And his wife, Leslie. Correct on both. I really do. And it puts me in a mood, doesn't it? It's an interesting question. This is so typical of us. I can't believe that I got completely off everything I was going to think about. Can any of our sensory perceptions trigger the emotions that sound does, specifically music, but sound in general? This is so typical of you. And by the way, I love it. It's what makes you unique. Smell, perhaps. I think smell. So I've thought of smell, but it's rare. When I smell a certain... My mom uses Jo Malone perfume, and when I smell that, I think of my mom. And I feel very comforted. It's very powerful. In fact, when I smell it, I think of your mom, too. By the way, this is Dennis and Julie. Welcome. Oh, yeah. Dennis and Julie. Shalom. Let me just go through this. The power of sound is unrivaled in most ways. Not in every way, but I'll give you an example. I'm laughing because I'm laughing at me. I don't know how many people have ever made this experiment, conducted this experiment to speak better English. Watch a horror movie without sound, and it is not one -fifth as scary. That's interesting. Well, you say that the ear is more powerful than the eye. I'd like you to explain why, because I know this Dennis Prager argument, but I forget the reasons. Okay, so I developed this from the credo of Judaism, which is in the Torah, the first five books. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord alone, or the Lord is one. There are many ways of translating it. The Lord is our God. So that's the credo. Many Jews walked into the gas chambers reciting this phrase. Isn't that the Shema? The Shema, yeah. What does Shema mean? It means hear or listen. So why do they say hear, O Israel? It doesn't say look, O Israel. That's my point. It says hear, O Israel. In that regard, I believe that audio only is in many ways more powerful than audio and video. Why? Because the eye is emotional and the ear is both emotional, like the sounds of a horror movie, and intellectual. The eye is not intellectual. The eye is seduced by beauty in a nanosecond, and it just reacts emotionally. Roger Ailes, the former president of Fox News, he's dead, right? He died? I think he died. Anyway, that doesn't matter at all to the point. He was the former head of Fox News. He was entangled in this sexual harassment scandal, but he did have a knack for identifying talent. And one of his criteria or tests when he was evaluating if he wanted someone to be on the air was to turn the sound off and just watch them without hearing anything. But that makes sense because it's Fox News. It's cable TV. You only have, what, five minutes? So he wanted to make sure that you were visually riveting? Yeah, okay. Well, that's TV. That's TV, exactly. It makes sense for TV, but it sort of supports your point that the eye is not intellectual. I'll give an example. Yes, the intellectual is clear, but even emotionally, like the sound of a horror movie, it's not a horror movie without the sound.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Ezekiel 5: The Symbolism of Ezekiels Hair
"Hello there, my friends, and thank you for tuning in to today's broadcast from Family Bible, a ministry of Christian Family Reformation. I'm your host, Christian Horseman, and it's my prayer that as you and your family study God's Word together, you'll find this broadcast to be a blessing to your souls and an inspiration to grow in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. So without any further delay, let's get started. It's Saturday, September 2nd, year of our award, 2023, and today we're taking a closer look at the fifth chapter of the book of Ezekiel. In this chapter, we have a further but no less terrible denunciation of the judgments of Jehovah, which were coming with all speed and force to ruin the Jewish nation, for when the Lord judges, He will overcome. God commanded Ezekiel to take a barber's razor and to shave off the hair of his head and his beard. After he had done this, he was to take a pair of scales and weigh out the hair into three equal parts. Then he was to go to the place where he had left his model of the besieged city of Jerusalem. One part of the hair, he was to burn there as though it were burned in the midst of the city. He was to cut up another part into small pieces with a knife, and as for the last remaining portion, he was to hold it out in his hand and let the wind blow it away on every side. The Lord told Ezekiel that this is precisely what would happen to the people in Jerusalem. He had chosen them to be his people above all others, yet they had sinned against him more than any other nation. Therefore, he was going to punish them as he had never punished any other people before. A third part of them, he said, would die with the pestilence and the famine in the midst of the city, just like the hair that Ezekiel was to burn with fire. Another third part would be killed by their enemies around and outside of the city, like the hair that was cut into pieces with a knife. And the other third part would be carried away from their own land and scattered over all the earth, just like the hair that Ezekiel was to hold out in his hand for the wind to blow away. The time had come, the Lord said, to punish these people for their sins, and very soon their punishment would come upon them. He told Ezekiel that he would sin the worst of the heathen nations against them, who would destroy Jerusalem and go even into the most holy place of the temple, and take away its precious and holy things. Then, said the Lord, the men of Israel would be weak with fear, and unable to fight against their enemies. And they would bring out their gold and silver and throw it into the streets, for it could do them no good, and it would only increase their trouble, because they had loved it more than they loved God, and they had so often broken his laws in getting it. The prophet emphatically and repeatedly makes it clear that the terrible circumstances which were about to fall upon these people were the Lord's dealings with them according to their own wicked ways. Their evil doings had reached the final and ultimate stage of heaven -defying wickedness. But the grand charge which the prophet evidently meant to bring against them was that they had failed to fulfill the Lord's special purpose for settling them in the promised land of Canaan. This region was centrally located among the ancient heathen nations, and upon that account the Jews were intended to maintain a position of power and influence and respect through the knowledge and worship of God. No other region in the whole ancient world provided such wonderful opportunities for exerting a beneficial and commanding influence upon the minds of ancient heathendom. By being appointed to occupy such a central position, the people of Israel had a responsibility to take advantage of this privilege in order to make known the character of Jehovah and to extend his true worship. But the distinguished marks of divine favor that they enjoyed, and the political ascendancy that was granted to them over the nations of the earth, were expressly dependent upon their steadfastness to the Lord's covenant.

A highlight from Offchain Labs Releases Arbitrum Stylus
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here's your latest for Thursday, August 31st, 2023. Offchain Labs releases Arbitrum Stylus, Prisma Finance goes live on Ethereum mainnet, Gitcoin Passport introduces on -chain stamps, and Pulled Together v5 is now live in private beta. All this and more starts right now. Offchain Labs released Stylus, a general -purpose programming environment that supports Wasm smart contracts. Developers can now build applications on Arbitrum Nitro chains using Wasm -compatible languages, including Rust, C, and C++. The launch includes the release of the code, a public testnet, and an SDK. According to the project, Stylus significantly lowers gas costs. Developers can build resource -intensive blockchain use cases, including alternative signature schemes, larger generative art libraries, and C++ -based gaming. Offchain Labs will host a Stylus Hackathon at ETH Global in New York on September 22nd and will offer $20 ,000 in bounties. Prisma Finance, a liquid staking token -backed stablecoin protocol, is now deployed on Ethereum mainnet. Starting on September 1st at 9am UTC, users will be able to mint the MKUSD stablecoin using Wrapped SE, CBETH, RE, or Staked FRAXETH as collateral. Deaf caps will also be enforced for each collateral during the initial launch. Prisma will also release its PRISMA token in the coming weeks, which can be locked for Vote Escort PRISMA, enabling governance voting power. Liquid staking token issuers can then channel incentives towards their own assets using Vote Escort PRISMA. In a bid to bootstrap Liquidity, Prisma is introducing a 0 % initial interest rate. Prisma is built on the codebase of Liquidity Protocol. Identity verification platform Gitcoin Passport introduced on -chain stamps on opmainnet. An on -chain stamp is a verifiable credential stored on -chain. The solution uses Ethereum Attestation Service for its on -chain data structure. Ethereum Attestation Service is an open -source tool for on -chain and off -chain attestations that is available for OP stackchains. Credentials can be assigned by various identity providers. The system aggregates stamps and assigns weights based on their cost of forgery. Stamps were previously stored off -chain and required developers to query the Gitcoin Passport API to read the unique humanity scores. Users can now migrate their passport on -chain to opmainnet by visiting passport .gitcoin .co. PRISESAVINGS PROTOCOL PULLED TOGETHER released the fifth iteration of its protocol to private beta. The new iteration introduces immutability, permission -less vaults, and automatic yield -to -price conversion. The beta release features boosted USDC and wrapped Ether vaults on opmainnet that generate a yield from Aavev3. Users with a Puli PFer, GitpoApp, or PuliconpoApp NFT can access the beta release. The v5 release is expected to launch for all users on October 2nd. PULLED TOGETHER also introduced Kalbana .fi, a series of open -source and user -friendly interfaces for interacting with the new protocol. And lastly, the Ether .fan staked ETH -backed NFT collection by Ether .fi introduced NFT auctions. The auctions enable users of Ether .fan to participate in bidding for rewards utilizing their accumulated loyalty points. The rewards include a dapp note staking device and a range of USDC prizes. Ether staked via Ether .fan is directed towards the Operation Solo Staker initiative, which furnishes hardware to solo stakers in various global locations. The program is not available to US residents. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum. You can support this podcast by subscribing and following us on Twitter at ethdaily.

"And emotion with each breath by the final day when i detected the bitter orange peel of neurology with the long gray line. The sun speckled dots above. I felt the underpinnings of something that had long been foreign confidence confidence in my nose and in my brain today sixteen years after i lost and then regained my sense of smell. I work as editor in chief of america's test kitchen kits. I don't cook for a living. But i think about food and cooking and how to teach kids about them both every day. I can spell just about everything again. I don't think i could pick out the bitter orange enrolling. I'm not even sure. I could recognize the scent of neurology at this point. It's been a while but it doesn't matter that's for sure because smell is so important to so many parts of life but particularly for flavor in cooking as part of my job now we like to teach kids about the power of sentence one of my favorite ways to do this with jelly beans. Jelly beans especially jelly bellies. Have very strong in very specific flavors. Which you can only perceive through smell all right. Are you holding your nose. Can you say something it sound like. That's my daughter olive. She's four years old. I asked her to hold her nose so she wouldn't be able to smell while she chewed a jelly bean. So hold your nose tight. Stick the jelly bean in your mouth and chew on hold kato florida's. I asked her to remove her hand in breathing deeply as she continued to chew allowing herself to suddenly once against smell as she ain't the flavor is now what is it. Quit you're right.

"I i learned about training your nose when i interviewed christoff lotter meal. Who is a perfumer. I met him when he gave a talk about the sense of smell in the west village leader. I emailed him and asked if i could talk to him more. He said yes. So high mcchrystal yale. I'm investor perfumer. When we met he was a perfumer at international flavors and fragrances today. He designed sense for major. Hotels retailers museums ambient sense. He calls them so i left. You said that besides being messed up perfumer around more soul sent engineer lack your musician you had the music composers writing the music. But you also have sound engineers and we see how two very different professions and perfumery. We also have both in his office at international flavors and fragrances. In midtown manhattan. One bright spring afternoon in two thousand eight. I remember christoph taking small strips of white paper and dipping them in bottle after bottle of raw perfume materials which had strange foreign names ones like he'd own eyeso- e pair in galax allied. They were synthetic things chemical things. Things that kristoff explained could be combined by the dozens by the hundreds to make a new fragrance. I remember kristof handing the smelling strips to me wanted to time and asking me to sniff. I remember smelling vague ephemeral odors ones for i had no words. Christoph guided me saying this one smells like jasmine. This one like musk. This one like citrus. This one mike birch perfumers. He told me ben as he told me again. Recently they need to train their noses would save actually have to train more than musicians. There are many more notes in perfumery. Then you have notes in music. A part of the training is similar. Where if you don't know music so where you listen. And you don't even pay attention to the defer instruments. You don't see what's okay. What needs to be changed and semi perfumery except your system is much more complex. I remember going through twenty samples before the end of the afternoon. And when i stopped sniffing i felt deflated like i had failed kristof. Didn't seem phased while you're smell lots. You have to learn ingredients because this is like your keys on the piano your building blocks with your brick situation and then you have to learn them for what they are from their name and you have to learn them for what this mela when i left kristof handed me a collection of small bottles of raw materials. Instructing me to smell them each day practice he said would strengthen my nose as it turns out he was right. Training could help. Training would help training your nose. Pam dalton recently told me is as simple as smelling a handful of spices. every day. it might be five minutes in the morning and five minutes later in the day. But the idea is you're specifically trying to relate what the molecules your breathing in our to the brain representation. You had before you lost your sense of smell or before. It became distorted. And so it's a very mindful way of trying to connect the nose to the brain again. How does it work. They don't totally know. But studies have shown that structured short term exposure to sense increase the olfactory sensitivity of those with smell loss. It can work for those who lose their sense of smell in anyway. Head trauma like me. A common cold or covert. It does work for quite a few people so the timing some evidence. Is that the sooner. You start the better the outcome. But there's no point at which you shouldn't try it so i decided to try it like really try it. I would like to say just for the record bat. What i did next one thousand percent not necessary for training your nose if you are in need of training your nose but at this point it was almost five years after the accident and i had sold a book proposal to write about my sense of smell and i was feeling over the top so i went to perfume school in france just for a few weeks. I know in gross france at ross institute of perfumery a small group of perfume enthusiasts and me sat at a table smelling chemicals in putting words to those sense every day all day. I could smell almost everything. But recognition remained elusive. My ability to identify smell without knowing its source was gone but as the teacher reminded me smells do not inherently come with words. The parts of the brain that recognize sent are more closely tied to memory and emotion than to language. I needed to figure out another way to recognize sent with each new smell. I began to consciously assign associations. I used colors and sounds memories too. I assign them to the smells that convert them bringing them back again and again to glue them together as the odor molecules sent their signals to my brain. It didn't always work but sometimes it did. Geraniums smells floral sour. Minty and fresh to me. It became the image of a shimmering green blue swimming pool neurology was a long grey line hovering behind my a few golden pinpricks of light above cedar wood became the closet in the basement of my childhood home. One day i found the small note of cucumber in the raw material violet. I got the mushroom tumor. Oil smell had never been so alive as it was around that table that final week it changed grew every day with every cent inviting colors.

"The weeks after she recovered from covid by smell started coming back and it all seemed fine and everything seemed kind of normal and then about four weeks. After like i was starting. I couldn't go to sleep without pouring like sent on my pillow's just smelling everything. Smells like it was on fire or cigarettes constantly and that went on for eight weeks according to him. Phantom smells are a sign that the olfactory system is attempting to heal itself. We think it's a hopeful sign in the long run that they are regaining their ability to smell but in the short term. It's certainly very distressing. I've heard from people that say. They don't even want to hug their spouse anymore because the smell of them is just so offensive for me. The scent of my brain was hopeful. Something was happening in their high proof. Listeners it's bridget here now. Did you ever find that right.

Let's a good safety tip anytime you're dealing with wobbly food right absolutely and just to be safe. We're gonna hold down the mango firmly if it isn't as right got some next. You're gonna rest the mango on the trim. In and cut off the skin in thin strips from top to bottom.

Org slash proof for more tantalizing mangum recipes and to learn more about mangoes. I moved to new york city for my mom's house in boston about eight months. After the accident. I moved as soon as i could walk again without pain. I felt trapped in my mother's house. I couldn't work in food. Not without a sense of smell so i moved to new york because it was far enough away. And that's where you go when you want to try and write. I liked trading. Not as much as cooking. But i had a vague idea of getting a job in publishing again. Sorry mom and dad. I found a small room in an apartment in brooklyn and spent my first month in the city wandering. i wore a bulky knee brace. My pelvis ached when it rains. And i couldn't smell. The city was a blank slate without the aroma of car. Exhaust hotdogs or coffee nothing was unbearable and nothing was especially beguiling but sense began to return slowly cautiously one smell. At a time. Suddenly i could smell the chocolate from pack of eminem. Someone was eating on the subway. Several seats away. I stared at them. Goggle live for to stop straight chocolate. I had forgotten how much i love chocolate one afternoon. A whiff of perfume on madison avenue. Stop me in my tracks. Cilantro the leafy green herb that i chopped to add to another salad came on an evening in late. June pungent and cool and begging for guacamole the jasmine tea arrived on an exile cantaloupe summer. Fresh sweet suddenly beckoned from five feet. Away slowly painstakingly. Almost secretively individual smells had begun to return month by month. They arrived alone just like the rosemary. They arrived one at a time. Confusing me with a combination of familiar and strange. Not everything was returning though like the sharp light of a streetlamp on an otherwise deserted street at midnight. These smells arrived singularly spread apart and glowing like mad. I could go days without smelling a thing and then pop the scent of laundry or butter or soap would influence rate my nose. Eventually i found work as an editorial assistant at art magazine in midtown one evening in november more than a year after the accident. I walked out of the front door to my office building. It was going to be a late night at the magazine and i needed coffee. I set off down the block toward my usual caffeine haunt. But then suddenly i stopped. There was a smell but this one was different. Sticky cold almost crass. It reminded me of something vague but familiar like the name of a friend. I hadn't seen in years. I looked around unsure. And then i saw it trash rape containers full of trash. There was a pile of garbage bags. Busting at the seams lying on the sidewalk nearby. they smell bad. I mean bad like rotting fish like stagnant water on a hot summer day. Like the slimy mouthful of an old mushrooming forgot to check. This was the first bad smell. I'd perceived in more than a year. It was glorious fast forward through time. The smells continued to return slowly and cautiously but continuously a few years into my new york city life. I went to grad school in journalism again. I'm really sorry. Mom and dad and it was then that i really started reporting on the sense of smell. How did it work. Why did it sometimes. Not and as happy as i was to have so many sense returned to my consciousness. I realized that i had trouble attaching words to smells. I had trouble recognizing familiar smells. It felt like my brain had broken a little occasionally. It was funny. My mom remembers one incident in particular when we went to martha's vineyard and we were driving on a country road and we had the windows open and you smell the smell and i asked you what it was and you thought about it really really really hard and you decided it was the smell of almond croissants but in fact it was the smell of skunk..

And i could see the beginning. It was sizzling. But there is nothing and that. That's what i knew. I was like i'm not smelling anything. That's camilla tomorrow. Smell is very important to her job. I am a senior editor at america's test. Kitchen develop recipes for our cookbooks. When she lost her sense of smell due to covid last winter she struggled with cooking too. When you burn garlic and it gets it just goes a little too far and you get that acrid sort of but it's it has a very distinct smell when you go to five with garlic and but looking at it i was thinking this doesn't i think i went too far. It was too hot. But i couldn't smell it and everybody said it tasted fine in the end. But you know it's one of those. I honestly wasn't sure But i do remember thinking like this. Should i dump this out of this. This terrible food and cooking wasn't my only worry. I worry that. If i were alone i wouldn't be able to smell a gas leak or the smoke of a fire that the food was going to cook had gone bad and i would end up dying food poisoning or at least eating food that any normal human would consider disgusting. How far my palate had fallen. I missed the scent of places. The comforting sent of my mother's house of a new car. the ocean. I worried that i smelled. I worried that my clothing smells. I worried that whenever we started dating again i wouldn't be able to pick up on important pieces of information through smell like what kind of cologne did he. Where did i find the scent of his post. Jim sweat good or bad or at least not offensive. Wasn't there science around. How smell was an important evolutionary indicator of how to pick a good meat. I thought about the future. I didn't want kids in that moment. But i probably want them later. Would i be able to breathe in the center of their tiny beheads. Would i know when to change the diapers. The world felt suddenly very dark. Not only could. I not fully experience present. I was terrified that i wouldn't be able to perceive my future. I wasn't alone. not really there. Were millions of others out there. Who like me couldn't smell or case discuss about two thousand five when i was twenty two years old. That's duncan bollock. We have a lot in common. We lost our senses of smell at the same age in the same year through the same injury of the time. I was a musician guitarists abandoned of now coming out like dot year. Recently stu relationship with a girl. I was falling in love with an life was incredible and exciting indent going places and i went out for drinks this far in leeds in england and the says in a really really stake i what went through them and i and fell backwards core from Next thing i know. I'm waking up in hospital my parents assisting the and i was. Yeah i assume Injuries back madge. was off so far away can came out today considering myself very lucky to be alive and try to work out everything was okay and it was when i sat down sweet. I made a lot really since the oxidants. The i was eighteen in thinking this. This doesn't doesn't really tasted anything but it was. Then that are realized couldn't smell but unlike me duncan says he didn't really think about his lost sense of smell for years after he lost it shirt. Food didn't taste like much but he hadn't really paid attention to smell before he lost it and he didn't pay much attention after either but he did know that something was different by sharing of life. Go a lot flatter a colder. I didn't stay the same. Sort of emotional cakes a troughs anymore. Things just sort of flatlined. Didn't i didn't have the same so rich relationships with partners that had previously i spent many years thinking. What did it do some brain. When i hit my head when the accident the made things feel so different and then something changed and then in two thousand eleven. A friend told me about snuck in the paper the guardian. I think it was about this girl had lost his sense of smell and brisk nipple cabal sits and i on both book on also it and here. I am the first time. Eighteen until consider Spoiler alert that's me. I wrote a book about the sense of smell. It came out in two thousand eleven for dunkin. It was the first time he ever realized that he wasn't alone.

"Inhalation with every inhale molecules travel through the craggy pathways that begin at the nostrils and head toward the brain. They speed past the olfactory cleft. Which is a narrow opening. Toward the top of the nose they then hit the olfactory receptors which are housed on the hair lake tips of the neurons peek through a mucous membrane. Called the olfactory epithelium the odor molecules then bind with the receptor sell themselves and that generates a signal or an impulse now. Humans have about four hundred different kinds of receptor cells and most receptors respond to multiple different odor molecules. Then the messing begins. So what is generated as a signal for the perception of coffee or flower is actually a pattern of signals across multiple different types of receptors these patterns signals travel on pathways made by neurons. Which snake from the nose through a thin sheet abon called the crib before pleat and are deposited in the factory bulb which lies toward the bottom of the brain. It forms a pattern. Not unlike a line of musical notes or the html coating of a webpage. The bulb takes these patterns like reading the score of a piano concerto or lyrics to a lullaby and sends them further on to the parts of the brain that deal with conscious. Perception and emotional response l. Those brain areas are where we can actually consciously recognize the smell as one we've experienced before react to it emotionally and probably also retrieve the memories of where we've experienced it or what it is associated with scent molecules had been entering my nose and traveling to my brain unhampered for twenty two years before my accident when i breathe in the scent of chicken stock while working at the restaurant those rich poultry particles hit my olfactory receptors and spurred a slew of signals to my brain. I would stop sniff. And think i smelled chicken stock. I never thought about how. I could tell the difference between the scent of chicken and veal stock. Between lard and butter it was a movement too complicated to miniscule an entirely too invisible for me notice let alone care about however my brain processed smell it all ended when i smash my skull against the windshield of car in the crash. My brain bounced against the inside of my forehead. Would that impact there was friction. My brain rubbed against the kripa form plate which shared off the neuronal endings like a lawnmower over grass like attendant in my leg the neurons that connected my nose to my brain snapped and then receded with that split second crash. My sense of smell vanished. This according to pam is called a nausea a nausea is the loss of the ability to smell and can arise from a number of different ways. But generally when we say. Someone is a nas nick. We mean that they cannot smell at all. their ability to smell is completely gone before the accident. I had no idea it was even possible to lose your sense of smell let alone a common side effect of a head injury but i was certainly not alone. There were millions of people just like me who had lost their sense of smell because there are other ways. The sense of smell is vulnerable to nasal sinus disease and even a common cold can wreak havoc with the ability to smell. This can affect people in the short and long term. This is something pam and her colleagues at manila's study a lot and then there are things like post viral and viral losses of smell the common cold for example when you get congested very often that's a blockage. A small percentage of people after they recovered from the congestion of a virus still had a smell loss. And that meant that. The virus itself had interfered with the ability of the receptors or the area around the receptors to allow them to do what they do normally which is bind odor instance send a signal to the brain and then of course. There's covid. do we know what happens with covid and why losing your sense of smell is a side effect. There we have some evidence from a study that was performed actually fairly early on in the covert pandemic. Obviously an animal study where they showed that the sars cov two virus actually binds to a specific receptor. Interestingly the receptors that the virus fines to at least in this animal study was not the olfactory receptors themselves. But on supporting cells ones that actually allow the olfactory receptors to regenerate and when they bind to these supporting cells they release a chemical and that chemical that interrupts the ability to smell so. It's a more indirect way. It's not damaging the receptor themselves at least in the studies that have been done so far. Have you been hearing from a lot of people at manila who are suffering from smell loss as a result of covid. Yeah we've put a lot of resources on our website and so we get bought of inquiries about what is known what can be done. Sometimes people just want to share as you probably well know how lonely it can feel when you have a sort of a disorder that seems so invisible and that until now. Many people pooh-poohed it is being not that important and yet you would be feeling so alone and so disoriented in ways that having someone or an organization to share that information with just that feeling that someone else understands what you're going through for me living in a world without smell felt strange and stagnant in those months of recovery after my accident as my knee head and pelvis slowly healed. I felt as if i were watching myself in a movie there but not present. I didn't know how to describe it to my friends or family. How do you describe the scent of nothing. It was strong. It was blink. It was entirely overwhelming filled quiet.

But mainly spend my time reading cookbooks. Sorry mom and dad. As soon as i graduated. I marched into the kitchen of a highly lauded restaurant. The craigie three-piece joe and begged for a job. I spent each night in the back kitchen awash in the sense of brown butter roasted chicken. While i peeled garlic. I washed herbs sorted mushrooms. All while sweating through the bandanas tied. Back my curly hair. I did this while trying to learn as much as possible from the chefs surrounding me. And i washed dishes technically. I was a dishwasher. But you know. I was working my way up the line and had plans to go to culinary school. The important part is that. I really really loved food. I loved the simple stuff. I ate at home pasta with brown butter in hanging parmesan fresh basil paired with summer. Tomatoes roasted broccoli both crunchy and tender bitter and sweet. I also loved the fancy stuff at the restaurant. My appetite roared in the face of so much physical work. It was a hunger. I had never experienced in my desk bound days of school during service. The sous chefs would hand me samples of butterscotch ice cream or sour milk. Panna cotta whispers of sugar and cold. That i ate between the clouds of steam released from the sanitizer with every load of dishes. I inspected the sierra of hanger. Stakes flesh exhaled. The minted song of sorbet. One morning late in that hot and hazy summer a stepped out onto my porch and running shoes and shorts. It was dark and cloudy. I could feel the impending rain in the thick air. It was the same day that hurricane katrina made landfall. I remember that. I remember the feeling of my ipod in my hand and my headphones in my ears. The sound of my sneakers on the pavement. As i set out to jog down the street iran past the apartment complex that blasted the fresh scent of laundry from its street level vents past the local high school barron for summer. Break up a small hill around a corner and then paused at the intersection. I must have seen the blinking me on hand signal winging to me across the four lane highway but i only dated for a second before i crossed.

Images of the hospital might divorced parents bickering over my hospital bed feeling dizzy when looking at anything for more than a minute the pain of openness surgery and it's slow slow slow recovery.

I was recovering at my father's house in new hampshire. Everyone in the room had an odd as dessert. Baked that smell. They said just like fall. I felt confused. I didn't smell thing when my stepmother held the crisp under my nose. I breathed in deeply looking for the familiar. Aromas of apple cinnamon and butter. I could feel the heat of this team in my nose and my chin but there was no scent at all just a blank space where the aroma of autumn used to be later that day. I- hectically sniffed at everything. I could laundry detergent coffee tea perfume. Nothing i had lost my sense of smell. My first thought was that's weird. I didn't know you could lose your sense of smell my second. What happened and my third. Will it come back. The doctors i saw didn't have much to tell me at least wasn't your eyesight. They all seem to imply what was happening to me. I became obsessed with finding out. I would spend years talking to doctors. Scientists researchers chefs and even perfumers trying to understand this delicate mysterious sense. I didn't know yet how the sense of smell worked. But as i learn it is a delicate and complex system a chain of connections and cascading signals that operate on a molecular level whether it's a charcoal whiff of the smoke off a grill on a summer evening or the lemon dish soap. In my mother's kitchen. Every aroma is made up of invisible particles.

It's quite a journey. So bear with me. It starts with an.

I will provide a link in the show folks to mark's article if you want to read that or potentially reread that since it's been three or four years in any case the last Ask hdl that. We have from rob asked him as mentioned above was an imposition of kinda rooting against the rapids Rob partial emailed us folks about emily's fantasy n. our h. dhl head to head group. Rob actually was set up to play mark in ammos fantasy end of losing behind a william yarbrough shutout and clean sheet that ultimately got the win. For what's your team name again. Mark bosnich coasting through life named her Referee footy spas akos. Yes so in. Any case of bizarre goes much like he has in rapids. Games made his biggest impact in the end of the game. Or in the case of this the end of the round of emily's fantasy so he was asking What are your respective takes on this fantasy sports dilemma. So rob was referring to the do. I take rapids players. Or how does me. I pick a bunch of players from mls and then how do those square away with you. Know i pick you know. Say i pick a team that is playing against another team that could potentially prevent ourselves for making the playoffs. Do i root for something. That is good for the rapids. That is for my own enjoyment of the sport. or do i root for what's individually. Good for me. Which in the context is just these individual fantasy players playing well so mark. I don't particularly care about what's happening when the new england revolution are playing the new york red bulls for example. But if carlos he'll is on my team captaining him very very much about that game. Do i intentionally pick players playing against ourselves. Because then i to root against the team i wanna root against ourselves so for the team playing ourselves doubled down on that with my fantasy picks so to answer your question directly here rob up first of all i point out. Generally other than defenders for set-piece goals like the centrebacks jack price for bonuses which don't really count on which is mostly like him. Making crosses doesn't necessarily count as much for him as position getting goals and assists for him to pick up his points or a defender getting a clean sheet. The rapids are the best option that you have from fantasy standpoint. So that bypasses a lot of my problems..

"I think this'll be the first non nationally broadcast game in the robin fraser era that the overwhelming majority of the denver metro area. We'll be able to watch and that is something that we should absolutely rejoice other thing that we like rejoicing. Mark our ask. Hda chelsea and we have a very good email from one rob bayless. I will throw the first question to you. Mark rob posture that maybe we could have seen delayed recovery for loss boubacar due to it currently being ramadan market and obviously he is fascinating. Something that sam vines will would not have had to deal with religiously as both of them were recovering from their hamstring issues. Have we seen anything like this. On as someone who hasn't ever undertaken a fast let alone a daily fast four entire month. I'm hoping that mark could share some from some of his experiences assuming that he does fast periodically for the various jewish holidays and has spent time discussing thinking about the past practice outfits in with martin mike and society. It should be pointed out mark. You had a very very good conversation. That i think led to a burgundy wave article back in the day with one mohammed sayyed. Who was a muslim rapids player. I believe in twenty seventeen who went through that as well and spoke about that and that was very educational for me reading and listening to him. Talk about that from ramadan standpoint. Mark someone who asked fast for religious reasons. How does that affect your metabolism and your ability to be athletically functional. And how could ramadan be affecting whilst boubacar in the early part of the season given that he was dealing with an injury. Yeah you you spill. The beans vol man My so mamas ie who came over to the rapids from minnesota in that trade Which set josh gad. In exchange for mark. Birch and sam cronin You know sayyed was fasting for ramadan in the middle of the summer. One of the things. That's interesting about ramadan. That probably most of our listeners are aware of but maybe not all of them is that Islam is on an unadjusted lunar calendar. Meaning that ramadan Will come because the lunar calendar only has three hundred and fifty four days in it..

"Reynosa hasn't looked particularly good. Opposing team's not cute on him and there hasn't been anybody who's really finish the ball or who's finished off. Attacking opportunities granted. Allah was a late addition to the team. So who knows if it takes him a couple of weeks to settle. Maybe he's a little bit more in tune and familiar with his teammates in this game on saturday than he was against austin see their most recent game lost one nil but mark. This is a team that struggling. This is a game that the rapid should expect. You want to win if they want to make the playoffs and i think this is a game that will play into their hands really really well. 'cause minnesota doesn't really press the rapids the rapids can play out of the back. They can play with the ball and if they're able to get a goal against a weakened defense with dane. Saint clair not playing well with austin lonzo old and with the team. Just being not a strong defensively. Then the panel's going try to set in hero ball is going to try and play it and then minnesota's just going to chase the game as they did for the better part of seventy minutes against austin on saturday. Mark your thoughts on the current state of the loons your thoughts on what this means for the rapids and what needs to happen for the rapids to get a result on monday night. So i'm a little bit more pessimistic about this match than you are. Because i mean minnesota is really strong And they've they've lost all their games you know. They lost their first game to seattle And seattle beats everybody in seattle. Looks absolutely dumb. They lost the salt lake. Which that's bad..

"Day just waited differently and that means that they think that the expected goals typically overall are much larger than american soccer analysis. Does the other thing is you met. You broke it out during an percentages assets gonna break it out in shares of a goal where one point oh is literally where the ball goes over the line and an extremely high chasse goal is somewhere above point. Three i think about point three is like that one's ticketed for gold so Shinyashiki had one shot that had point three six value. Meaning that should've gone in. And he had four shots in the first half all of which together would've totals point eight three expected goals meaning. He absolutely should go in verse. Half any It's a small sample size. Like i said it's gonna take a little while but this is a worry that you and i had the beginning of the season me in a big way. Which was that. this is a team. That doesn't have a lot of guaranteed goalscorers. And they're going to have to do better. The last thing i'll say about this is Thing that you kind of like you very the lead a little or you mentioned her really well. I mean you mentioned everything you said at all really well but Shinyashiki was playing on the right side. Get these natural left-footed layer. And i think the idea was that he's kind of the idea of was the he was effectively playing inverted right so that his left foot was You know his his favourite foot. I think i could be wrong about this. I think three of the four shots. He took with his right foot. So i kinda wonder whether he didn't He wasn't kinda amstrong by by shooting with off-limits. I don't know if that's true. I just think like let's give it a few more weeks. But i'm still. I am concerned about this. A parallel different thought is that the rapids rabid fans and pundits. Like you and i have been on. Da rubio's case for a couple years wonder if he was a high enough quality elite enough player to really carry this team at the number nine position for the whole year And i don't think we saw from one goal this game anything. That's gonna like convinced us that we're wrong or that like he's guaranteed to degrade right..

"Two in this one and vancouver had a grand total of barely won. The rapid should've won this game. Two one i'll take the one victory regardless but fantastic free kick by rubio mark. I know we talk about how he's had some poor finishing moments. If that's just the thing that from confident standpoint you know gets him going relieves a little bit of the pressure. he's not. he's breathing a little calmer. You know touch on the air on the ball is a little bit cleaner. He's going in to make plays and trying to shoot with a positive outlook rather than thinking. Oh god i can't miss this rather than thinking i'm gonna make this because of already scored a goal this season. Good for diego rubio and on the whole ninety minutes mark sam vines came in looked like he didn't miss a single beat you know. He wasn't wholly sharp like we saw him at the height of his powers last year from an attacking standpoint. But you know. I'm going to pick a thing that i would point out for fullbacks in the first three games of the season to not be good at. I would say just overall fitness. Because it's early on in the season and i would say stuff going forward attacking wise but there were multiple times with the phases of play that vancouver had especially in transition especially with fines. A little bit further up the field. They would go to say they would go to. Joe may and they would try to attack down a revamped cougars right. the rapids left obviously with fines. Playing at left back tried to attacking at and vines caught up one wanna tending. He was absolutely fantastic. He got on the ball. He helped start those passing sequences out of the back that were really really positive And so if i watched this game and you told me. Hey matt did you know that. Sam vines you know have been missed like a month due to a hamstring issue. I would have been like no that i totally. Don't remember that at all so the biggest criticism that i have from sam vines is that he wasn deadly in the final third going forward as a fullback and he pitched a shutout and was really great individually fantastic individual performance for him. One thing that. I wasn't really happy with mark as we talked about earlier was the finishing from the colorado rapids the chance prior to diego rubio's goal The rapids at three really key opportunities the to for shinyashiki that i mentioned in the rundown mark had an ex g a twenty eight and a half percent and twenty nine and a half percent and the chance to diego. Rubio had blocked by. Andy rose just a couple minutes earlier had a thirty one and a third percent so the rapids almost got all of the x g. That in couvert got over the course of the ninety minutes in twenty minutes in this one shinyashiki poor finishing he had mark especially given the header that he got against austin f c and former rookie of the year. He asks to be better. In those cases you know rubio had better chances. He didn't score on that. I would have preferred him scorn. Rather than the free kick in this game and cole bassett again. Look really poor offensively. Jonathan lewis and michael borrows had really the you know they of suffer from the same ailment. That i'm of worried is becoming a trend or his. Who borrows is mark. And who jonathan lewis potentially could become an in doing so not fulfill the potential that. Us fans have attached to him where they're.

"But you'd still find the chicago bull stuff everywhere. And i think that that's less so today. Like i think if you ask you know your average kid on the street in kinshasa or or in johannesburg like who is michael jordan. They'd be like. I'm not really sure but i know who kobe. Bryant is right like they don't relevant forever and manchester united is trading on the idea that they don't need to spend money but they're going to stay relevant. It's a it's a faulty proposition. Shall we move onto actual soccer here stateside mark. I love actual soccer matt. I'm a huge fan of actual soccer listeners. This sunday at rio tinto stadium the colorado rapids were victorious for the first time in twenty one twenty twenty one defeating bank right caps f c by a score of one snell mark sam. Vines was back in the starting eleven loss. Boubacar was back on the bench in any case both of those coming off of hamstring injuries and were available for selection that move kellyn acosta back into the midfield and that made the rapids look like a completely different team in possession mark. We talked last week about how robin fraser was looking for. Response especially when the team was in possession given how poor they were in the second half in possession against austin. Fcc and the team comes out there much sharper on the ball building out back. Calendar costs may create it It was much more fluid in the midfield anywhere. Able to play out of the press and then move forward. Which is something. I was really curious about giving that vancouver came out in a four three three and the rapids had the best chances in the opening. Fifteen minutes. Mark three opportunities for andre shinyashiki. Almost all of them right outside the six yard box in his little office there on his right side of the any couldn't convert. I need them so unfortunate. Really really poor. Finishing in the case of she she keeps the worst of them for me. Mark coming in the twenty first minute when he has a knockdown header after barbosa combines combine on the left side of the field and then just moments later. Marvin couvert goes on the counter-attack. They were very very direct throughout this game. And they give up the ball and yarborough has ball and then he tries to pass the ball to. Danny wilson makes terrible pass. Mark goes straight to saito. We talked about being a little bit of an unknown quantity. He cuts inside. Danny wilson's able to backtrack get to the goal line. Include the ball off the line. Those should have been two goals right away in the fact that neither of them scored in the twenty first. Minute was really really poor. But then mark in the twenty six minutes unison. Nominally draws a free kick just outside the box diego. Rubio stacks up and takes that erect free kick a spectacular goal to open up his twenty twenty one account mark striking..

"Intentionally. I think this is the first real thing that is actually going to get the the protests of a couple of hundred people outside the stadium. I'm not sure that these owners and these billionaire millionaires billionaire. Americans care about that. But hey you're getting less revenue. Because a marquis game that was on a weekend in a prime time tv slot isn't getting it. It's an embarrassment for the primarily. It's an embarrassment. For the faa it's disruptive in the case of both of those teams mark. That might be one thing to where the glazers actually have to pay attention and be like oh crap. Our actions have led to beat may have led to emotions that have led to other actions from other people that have led to consequences for us financially and that might be the first kind of indication that we have of turning it or like them actually saying okay we have to at least somewhat appeased these people so they don't burn the house down mark potts You covered a lot of ground. My man First of all one small correction or not correction a disagreement. Which is i would completely take an oligarchy a kleptocracy a monarchy or an entirely fascist regime in the united states. If it meant that the colorado rapids win championships. I would make that trade in a second. He said jokingly many writers in pundits. I think were smith was the one that i'm thinking of from last week have made the point that manchester united has made this faustian bargain where it said we would like to be profitable and a global brand But we don't care about winning or spending the big money to be in charge To be the best team in the premier league and that's a that's a trade off the the question based on the pitch starving incident. This past week is if you aren't relevance to the home fans in england can you be relevant to the fans in southeast asia in china in india and north america right like if manchester united slips to being a second tier club where they're really not legitimately part of the big six which i think is a is a real thing i mean you know man and i are both kind of nerds for all documentaries about english. Premier league teams english english teams. And we've both. I think the brian cloth Documentaries and movies and you know thinking that like leads was lead. United was a big club. A long time you know sheffield united was a big club longtime ago england and there's a new castle a big club a long time ago like the idea that manchester united is guaranteed to be a globally dominant in english. Premier league dominant team is not true right. There were times in my life when the new york yankees were hot garbage on a stick for most of my life. The dodgers were terrible team and now people in baseball talk about them. Like they're the evil empire. Like this unstoppable. Baseball force with ungodly sums of money. you know that which is old becomes new. In that wishes new becomes old. He said sub tweeting. The book cleese asti so like you know. It's the conclusion that our team is going to be. You know a financial juggernaut even if we don't spend on it and that's glazer sub tweet and that's a crock of tweets is probably bad. I mean the the idea is we. We don't have to spend that much money to retain profitability as long as we bring in massive kit sales around the world but like at some point people. Forget that you're important in your relevant. I mean you know if you go to africa if you went to africa. Twenty years ago you'd find chicago bulls march merchandise. Most of it like a you know like contraband than and totally fake..

It's because we are following god there as god's servants into for lucky our their gobble bear fruit not because of us but in spite of us and really the fruit is not just what we do for other people.

Many would describe her as difficult but really she was just lonely and anxious but it still took a lot of nations for me to return to her each week and to slowly work with her through the room instead of just dipping through and cleaning it the way that i wanted to and instead of ever responding to her out of my frustration had to stop and remind myself why she acted the way that she did they had to remind both of us that what was important was not so much cleaning but that she felt seen and valued and loved in the end. She got a clean room. And hopefully a little bit of comfort..
