Self-Care: Giving the World the Best of You, Not the Rest of You
"Always like to start at the beginning which is to define what actually is self -care and I'm actually just back from a weekend away where I went over to Edinburgh and I think the analogy that they always do in every airplane safety demonstration is really apt when you come to self -care which is oxygen mask analogy. So when they're giving a safety demonstration they always talk about how if it was the case that cabin pressure was to fall that you should put on your oxygen mask first before you attempt to help people around you and it's a very good analogy I suppose for self -care that you want to be looking at like what you need to do to give you oxygen and then you look outwards to see who else can I support now that I've sort of made sure that I'm protected and I can continue and I think it's a really good analogy and it's like this kind of left of you and that's a really important distinction I've learned over the years as well you know when people say a glass is half full or a glass is half empty and often what we do with self -care is you know like maybe we get a facial or we get our nails done and like we're topping up this glass or jug of water right but like if you keep pouring out of the jug without replenishing then all you're really doing yes you might fill it up but all of a sudden a week or two later is back to like dangerously low levels again so often what you actually want to try do is have that jug overflowing right so you're always full but the excess runs off and that's what fills other people's cups and really what that's talking about is sort of making sure that like you yourself feeling are good you're full of energy you're full of the joys of life maybe you're full of gratitude and then you give your excess to other people so it's not like you fill up and then you give that away and you're constantly in this fill it back up phase which sort of has a lot of effort attached to it it's rather like can you get yourself to a good place where you actually nearly have like so much that it's overflowing and you can easily give that excess away because it's not it's not detrimental to you because you have enough to continue to fuel yourself as well i really like that analogy like just as much as the oxygen mask one and i think what that reminds me it's self -care is not like one and done right it's like something that you always are sort of making sure that you have time for yourself to do that because you don't want to be trying to fill other people's gases from an empty jug nor do i want to feel that i'm having to take away from myself to give to other people because that can put you on a path towards resentment as well so what actually is self -care about like bubble baths and facials and you know lighting a candle and i enjoy doing all of those things so there's nothing wrong with those things as well but they're very surface level self -care and there is kind of two layers of self -care one is the surface piece but one is much deeper as well and it gets related into understanding your needs and values and living a life aligned to them it's your time it's your boundaries it's maybe having an understanding of your priorities so it's also when we think about self -care is making sure that we were maybe hitting on items that are from both of those lists so the surface level is the sort of relax rejuvenation the rest pieces could be a nap in the afternoon or it could be like i said going to the spa it could be shopping if that's what you enjoy it could be getting a nice cup of coffee out and just being able to you know sit in the sunshine and drink it or sit by yourself and drink it and have nobody disturb you probably harder self -care pieces are the the deeper ones right so it's the boundaries so saying no to people saying no to maybe even spending time with people who drain your energy like that's self -care in itself or if that's not possible it's maybe distancing yourself a little bit from those people i think that's particularly apt coming up to christmas because we do find ourselves in situations where we're spending time with people that perhaps we don't at other times of the year and it can be a very difficult and draining time of year for people it can be things like hobbies i chatted to shaz about this back in season one it's sort of something that we've lost a little bit as our world has got like so convenient and so automated and we're so busy doing all of these other things but like having time to do something that you're passionate about or you're interested in or that engages your creativity and your curiosity is actually really really important because it's carving out time for yourself and often these hobbies can be incredibly self -soothing because you don't think about other things that are going on in your life you're just thinking about not dropping a stitch or you last week and she was talking about how when she hunt horse riding she was literally you know you have to have full concentration because you didn't want to fall off the horse and hurt yourself so hobbies can actually be a really important part of our self -care routines as well

Why Dan Will NEVER Vote Democrat
"Appreciate that, but don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I appreciate your concern, but you do, you get a lot of negativity in this business, primary season's always particularly ugly, it's not my first one, I've run in three of them, I've run in three, I've been involved in for a really long time, I'm used to it, everybody will get over it, and it's like I said, I'm going to support the Republican nominee, I mean listen, it can't get any worse than the Democrats, and you can't hypocrite, be a I can't start the show telling you today to go and vote because Republicans aren't the solution to your problems, but Democrats are the cause, and you've got to stop the cause of your problems before you can find a solution and turn around and go, my guy don't get it, I'd be a total fraud, and I'm not, and I don't do that, I don't vote for Democrats, period, ever, under any circumstances, it was Chris Christie, yeah,

The Pneumonia Outbreak in China: Don't Panic Just Yet
"In the morning? Don't believe the first media narrative. I bring up the Bongino rule because there's an outbreak of a new disease in China. What? Yes! And I want everyone to please up front and center. I know you all get it. I don't mean this in any kind of a condescending way. But I just want everyone to just chill on this thing for a minute. There's a reason. Do not trust anything the media says on this thing. Anything. Talk about it. Digest the stories. But I want you to read them. And I want you to read them with my Dipsy -Doo -Flip -A -Roo theory. That anything they say, you should probably believe the opposite. The reason I don't buy this is we've been through this before, before an election season with a disease emanating out of China. And the media's not going to tell you the story. They're going to tell you a story. I need you to understand the difference. There is a difference between me telling you a story and telling you the story. The media, what they're looking to do here with this, they're is trying to figure out right now how to leverage this thing to take advantage of the election season and make Biden look good, or at least not make him look bad. If Trump were in office, it would be the opposite. I assure you, and Jim, you can attest to this as an avid follower of the media politics. If Donald Trump were in office and these reports of a pneumonia outbreak in China, the headline in every liberal newspaper would be what? It would be, here we go again! Here we go again! Coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, man rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! and Dogs cats living together! That's it! Those would be media newsrooms right now, for those of you who grew up in the 80s and saw Ghostbusters. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats! The fact that you're hearing so little about it says to me a couple of things. The media has decided to chill on the story to not make Biden look asleep behind the wheel. But second, media the is probably also saying, hey we don't have to panic right now because we don't know what it is, it may be a pneumonia outbreak but we can't trust China, and we should probably chill

After The Game (MM #4625)
"It was a rough weekend, went up to see my nephews play football in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Didn't tell them we were coming up, but surprised everybody and made the trip from Nashville. It didn't go their way. They lost. Wasn't one of the greatest games. But what amazed me was what happened after the game. They got beat something like 28 to 7, and their 7 points came in the last few minutes. But the one thing they were more upset about? They have a tradition of going out and praying after the game. And so the family and the fans come out and join them on the field and they pray. Well, they were the visiting team and they weren't allowed to do that. And the coach, while leaving the field, wasn't upset that they'd lost, wasn't upset that their season was over. He was upset that a school tradition wasn't allowed to happen because the Catholic school in Fort Wayne wouldn't allow them on the field. Now, of course, all their fans were on the field whooping and hollering because they were going to the state championship. But through all of that, all the coach cared about was that something that mattered to that family of coaches, players, and home families couldn't do what they'd done every single game of the year. He was upset about the game, but the family and the community much more important.

A highlight from 3 Steps To CRUSH The Next Crypto Bullrun!
"I have three tips to master the upcoming bull run in crypto. You follow these three steps and you will set yourself up for financial freedom. Bitcoin bull run season is almost upon us and you want to make sure you have the tools to succeed. So kiss that mayo sandwich goodbye, it's time to make some real bread. Our first tip is have a clear game plan. That means a beginning, middle and end to your investment strategy. And that begins with your entry point on that coin you're buying. What you don't want to do is chase pumps and get caught up in buying just because everyone else is buying. You need to make a price target and stick to it. Do not fall for FOMO. And arguably more important than your entry is your exit. A coin doing 100x means nothing if you don't take profit and all the gains melt away. The best way to avoid that happening to you is to have multiple sell orders at multiple price targets. Personally, I hold a little Cardano and I plan on selling some as low as $4, even though I think it's going higher. And guess what? If it does go higher, I'll sell even more. I have price targets all the way up to $7 in case Cardano does a 20x from these current levels. It's important to realize you can't call the exact top. So sell over a period of time to hedge your bets. And to prevent your game plan from failing after you're hypnotized by high prices, visualize your goal from investing. If you're saving up for a car, a boat or a home down payment, it's much easier to hit that sell button if you're thinking of those goals. Picture yourself enjoying the fruits of your timely investment. Imagine you're already in that kitchen remodel. The boat is already in your driveway. Visualize that Rolex. Sure, that JPEG of that cartoon monkey looks cool. But imagine getting out of your mom's basement. To me, that looks a little cooler. But make sure you adjust your plan accordingly. New partnerships could inflate your favorite coin's value, meaning you might need to tweak your exit points. Heck, imagine the SEC loses a case against your favorite protocol. Or an overall bearish trend could hit the markets, making all your targets look like an absurd moon boy's fantasy. So have a strong game plan, but adjustments are key. Second tip, go all in. Going all in means doing thorough research on your own and then only investing in the number of coins that you can reasonably keep track of. Don't spread yourself too thin. So learn about the tokenomics and the protocol's future plans. Read the white paper and even potentially join a community discord. But if I were to give one warning, it's to pay attention to your sources so you can avoid an echo chamber. Avoid maxis and check for biases. If the name of the channel you watch is SafeMoon Lambo Club, well, they might be biased. And then figure out your bandwidth. Are you living at your parents or on disability with nothing but time on your hands? Well, you can follow and research many more coins than a doctor working 80 hours a week. So use your time wisely, but be realistic about how much time you actually have. But more important than any of that is to not lose interest. Don't get lulled out by sideways price action. Ironically, the point at which you should be doing the most buying is the point in which the markets are at their worst. So you enter while it's boring and then you can exit while it's soaring. Third and final tip, take profits, take profits. Did I mention take profits? Taking profits is the number one thing separating the winners from the losers in crypto. Most people will just hold on to their coins, afraid of missing out on possibly higher gains. That's normal. It's FOMO and we've all been there. This is why you need a plan for selling your coins. My favorite selling strategy is DCA out or dollar cost average. You sell gradually and don't try to sell them all at the very top because it's impossible to predict. But if I could give a warning is to be aware of how quickly crypto can move. This isn't the stock market or precious metals. Prices can go up quickly, but they can fall even faster. So you have to be careful. Which leads us to if a coin's price is suddenly tanking, don't buy more just because it's cheaper. It might keep going down for a very long time. We call these falling knives and never try to catch a falling knife. Don't give back all your profits getting swept up in a relief rally. By following these three steps, you're putting yourself in a position to become a millionaire in the upcoming bull run. You're not just hoping for financial freedom, you're actively creating that reality. Think about what you can gain from your hard work and keep your eyes on the prize. Your journey in crypto is a big deal, and you're in charge of writing your own success story. I'm DZ with Discover Crypto, and I'll see you at the top. Thank you.

A highlight from Episode 129 - Gitcoin - Elevating public goods with decentralization, quadratic funding, and community coordination
"You know, there are so many neat things that people are trying already. You know, like, for example, we ran around for a community group in Oakland, who had funding from their local government, it was basically all community organizations. You know, so really cool to see that play itself out. Even before we went down this road, Milwaukee was already doing some experimentation with quadratic rounds for very sort of niche applications, like helping people in Denver, Colorado, whose restaurants were struggling during the pandemic. We did a support for Ukraine round that was kind of a targeted approach at funding for that particular use case. But, you know, I think then another neat thing that's happening, which you may not even have heard about yet, is we now actually have a direct grants platform, which means it doesn't use quadratic funding. It's basically a way to use Web3 rails and all the existing tools, but just run more of like a traditional grants program. But I think we might start seeing things like people using quadratic voting to make decisions about how to give out the money amongst a smaller group of people internally. And so you might not be harnessing the wisdom of the crowd, but you can still have that transparency, that accountability, you know, all that kind of nifty stuff that comes along with using these tools. And also anybody who's created a grant proposal on builder potentially can apply to an even bigger number of different types of opportunities. So, you know, so I think, you know, we really, you know, are so just lucky to have such an innovative, creative, thoughtful global community. You know, like, we just saw a round run in Latin America where like the majority of the grant proposals were in Spanish, you know, and like we frankly, don't even have the resources internally to like provide support and documents and web pages. They just did it themselves, you know, which is so cool to see. And I think we're going to just see more and more of that. Like there's a Chinese community round that's happening. I've heard there's an African continent round that people are talking about, you know, basically any issue or cause you can think of, you know, there's probably somebody out there thinking about how they could run a grants program to do something about it. You know, and if somebody out there is listening and has some nifty idea, even without a big matching pool, like, you know, just like even a small amount of money that you put into a matching pool, or even just creating the space for people to give to something that matters, like even without a matching pool, I think can just be a really powerful thing. You know, there's something about just kind of creating the container for the conversation to bring the people together. And, you know, the neat thing about these grants programs is like the grantees are the ones who do a lot of that organizing, who bring their community with them, you know, and often do actually do a better job of supporting and onboarding people and creating guides and documentation and all that kind of good stuff in a way that makes sense to their community. So, yeah, I think it's super exciting and I definitely think about it a lot. Yeah, no, totally. I can see the excitement just as you talk about it now. And I think that, you know, what you said around the grantees is spot on too. It's just really cool seeing like how they've all kind of stepped up and contributed to the Gitcoin community in different ways, whether it's creating these educational onboarding materials, setting up one -on -one calls with people to walk them through getting a wallet set up and a passport set up, you know, which is fantastic. It's been really, really powerful. And, you know, obviously we have another Gitcoin granting round coming up November 15th, I believe you said was when it was starting, which is really exciting Gitcoin grant round 19. 56 million plus in funds allocated, really incredible. It's really been a catalyst for thousands of early stage Web3 projects. For those listening that haven't yet participated in a Gitcoin grant round, but are interested in maybe becoming a grantee, they have a really cool public good project, but maybe they're a little nervous. What advice would you give them? Yeah, I love this question. So a lot really depends on sort of what your starting point is, you know, so maybe slightly different advice, depending on like, you know, if you've already got a DAO that you're a part of, you know, you've got friends in the Web3 space, you know, I could definitely give some very specific advice for those folks, you know, versus like somebody who's brand new to the space, doesn't have an existing community. I think there's a place for everybody in Gitcoin grants rounds. And a big part of what we try to do as Gitcoin is like level the playing field, make sure that everybody has an opportunity to get in front of an audience, you know, that grantees can be discovered based on the kind of the quality and interest of what they're building. But yeah, I'd say the universal stuff, you know, it's very much like any community organizing or marketing. Like, you know, think about the picture that you put up as your picture, think about how you summarize the information in your grant proposal, think about the title that you use, good to have the name of your organization, and something to do with your value proposition. So people, maybe they're just looking for you by your name, and they know who you are, and they can find you that way. Maybe they've never heard of your project, but they're interested in your value proposition. So trying to be succinct and having both those things, kind of without needing to click away and go read it, you know, also that like, there's a bit of information that shows up kind of above the fold, as they say, like, you know, kind of in that little preview window, if you have a good little TLDR, that's like, this is what we're trying to do, this is how we intend to do it, this is why we're doing it, whatever you think is important for people to understand, like, I'm trying to raise this money so I can do this, you know, the more that you can be super clear about, like, by next round, or by six months from now, I hope to have accomplished this, and you can follow along and and sort of follow that journey. I think that's really important. Also, if you've been a grantee for more than one round, I know we're talking about new grantees, but updating people is super important, too. They sort of haven't seen that you've done anything with the funding, people start wondering, you know, like, you know, what are you really doing with this money? Should I give again? But I would say for like, people who in particular, who might be nervous, who don't have a web3 community, I would say like, there's a lot of people who are super supportive and helpful in our community. Like, so starting by coming to like our Twitter spaces, the Gitcoin hosts, which you can follow along at the Gitcoin Twitter account, and we're always announcing when the next ones will be. Also, you can usually find there's like a grantee support page, where we have like an event listing, which you can find linked to right off of the main Gitcoin website, gitcoin .co. So I mean, just follow along there, you know, and that can give you a sense of like, just if you just show up, you know, I can tell you that we are super friendly and supportive, you know, and you can just like come and talk about what you're working on, or even just listen for a while and see how other people are doing it and get comfortable, I think people will get a sense that it's a very welcoming and friendly space. You know, but also, like, there's a million, maybe not million, there's definitely tons of these Twitter spaces being hosted by people. If you're not already active on Twitter, I hear you, there's a lot going on in the world. And Twitter is not always my favorite place either these days. But, you know, it happens to be where a lot of the crypto community is, you know, definitely wherever your community is, like, try to bring them on board. But it's a lot easier to get donations from people who are already familiar with crypto, who are already familiar with Gitcoin than it is to like, you know, take somebody from never even having a wallet to like setting up their first wallet funding it, you know, connecting to passport going through all those stages. Definitely great guides out there. You know, I think it's a great idea to like host onboarding sessions or like office hours to help people in your community might want to support you. But definitely the lowest hanging fruit is the existing Gitcoin community that's quite active round after round. And you can find those people on our Twitter spaces, you can find those people, you know, in various discords, but also on the Twitter spaces that other people are hosting. And, you know, and I'd say one other thing I would throw out there is Telegram. All these tools that, you know, if you're from outside the web through space might be a little bit daunting. But you know, if you just join the Gitcoin Telegram group, there's so many people providing peer support, helping each other answering questions. Like if you just jump into that thread, which again, you can find it directly through our homepage, you know, you can from there, like find people who might want to help you with what you're building, or might have a similar project and want to collaborate with you, you know, or, you know, want to attend your Twitter space if you host one and invite other people. So yeah, I would say just like, focus on the people more than the technology. And like, figure out where the low hanging fruit is of like, where those people are that, you know, might be interested in working with you and supporting you. And don't hesitate to reach out and like DM people and, you know, and ask questions. You know, like, I'm always happy to chat if I can find the time. You know, definitely lots of people who are doing their project for the first time reach out. And like, you know, even share what you're thinking about posting in your grant proposal with others like, you know, there's no wrong time to do that. Even if you're listening to this right in the middle of an active grants round, and you missed the opportunity to apply, it's not too late to get involved to start listening to those Twitter spaces to join the Telegram. You can even post your grant proposal and then just apply three months from now in the next round. You know, so can't hurt to like, just moving start things forward, start onboarding your community, start playing with the tools yourself. Really helps to actually go and donate yourself to if you haven't before, because having done it yourself, you can then help other people do it more easily. Yeah, definitely. That's great advice. And you know, I think me personally, I only participated in two rounds, but was really kind of involved more as a community member and like just kind of listening in and being a part of the community before then, right. And it was a great way for me to learn and to kind of get my feet wet a little bit and to see what's going on before diving in headfirst. So great advice. Thank you so much for sharing that. As we near the end of our conversation, there's one thing I want to ask you about. I know that web3 can obviously be very stressful, fast paced, especially, you know, during Gitcoin grant season two, it can be feel like a bit of a sprint, especially for I imagine, the team that's working on the back end. You're also big, I know that you're a big advocate for getting outside for nature for laughter is the best medicine. I know you like to post some videos of you juggling, you know, by the lake is kind of a way to disconnect. Tell me more about how you stay grounded in this busy world of web3. Because I know that there's something that a lot of people struggle with. It's hard, man, honestly. And I can tell you, like, having spent much of my life working on, like, what feels like really life and death issues a lot of the time, like, this is definitely something I've struggled with for a lot of my life. I've definitely gone through cycles of burnout and like, you know, all that, you know, I would say just like, trying to not take everything too seriously, trying to take a step back and see everything in perspective, you know, surrounding yourself with like, friends and family that like, know you and love you and support you. You know, like, getting outside every day really makes a big difference to me. You know, my dogs are a big part of my life. You know, and they're, they're really a gift, because like, they demand that I take them outside. So even if I'm not feeling like going for a walk, they always do. And, you know, I feel like, basically, like, I having like a stressometer, you know, like, if you can sort of like monitor how you're doing, and when you get past like a certain threshold, like, just knowing that it's always okay to just like step away for a bit, you know, even just like, you know, just putting everything on pause and taking three deep breaths can go a really long way. But you know, like, I definitely feel like you really genuinely recharge your batteries by like going to a park or, you know, like the whole touch grass drink water thing like you have to take care of yourself to be able to like, you know, take care of business. You know, so like drinking lots of water or like, I mean, it sounds like, you know, sort of trite or soundbites or whatever, but I think it's really true. You know, and the older I've gotten, like the more just I haven't been able to just continue to like push indefinitely, you know, like that it used to be that I would just burn the candle at both ends and like, you know, it's like, I don't really need to go to bed at a reasonable time. I'll just stay up all night every day working and, you know, operate on zero sleep and not eat enough food and, you know, go for drinks at lunch and you know, like it just like all of that catches up with you after a while for sure. Totally. So I mean, like, as much as everything feels really urgent, like I think if you think back on what felt urgent, like six months ago, three months ago, month ago, even a week ago, sometimes, like a lot of the times things seem a lot more urgent and a lot more stressful in the moment that they really are. You know, so like just trying to have that perspective. And like, yeah, just, you know, take the time that you need to like pace yourself. That's, that's, you know, it's a marathon, not a sprint, that whole thing definitely can feel like a sprint. But, you know, even during the grants round, it honestly, it is a marathon. Like, you know, it's a, it's a couple of weeks with like, at least a week or two on either end of like, preparing and unwinding. And, you know, especially for our team, like, you know, I worry, even when I see like myself or other team members, like pushing a little too hard. And definitely, we see that with grantees too. But yeah, I mean, maybe just get off Twitter. I mean that, you know, the algorithms have a way of like, sort of sucking us back in, keeping us engaged. So, you know, like, you know, spend some time, more time on Farcaster or Lenster. You know, like, there's a lot of good vibes out there too, if you're in the web3 space. And honestly, I think there's a lot of alpha to be had in those social media networks too, that like, because it's a much smaller community, you can really focus on like talking to people who are working on similar things without a lot of the drama and chaos. And, you know, so like, even just making some little adjustments to how you're sort of spending your social media time, I find that pretty helpful for me. I actually hang out on Mastodon a lot recently, because it's an old school decentralized platform with all kinds of interesting people, and definitely different perspectives that I'm not hearing all the time in crypto Twitter. So yeah, I don't know. Everybody's got different things that are going to work different for them. You know, if you were having this conversation with one of my coworkers, you'd say meditation, you know, spend an hour at least every day meditating. You know, another coworker of mine would say, go dancing every night. You know, like, so I mean, you know, just like, I guess, like, figure out what it is that like, brings you joy outside of the space and like, force yourself to do a little bit more of it. And I think the end result is like, you'll actually find that your project is more successful, you're showing up with just like better vibes in general, and, and that resonates out and draws more people in and, you know, so, you know, there's even self -interested reasons beyond just like your health that I think, you know, people will notice if you if you make that little extra bit of effort not to burn yourself out. And if you are burning out, like, take some time away, like it, you know, might feel impossible. Like I definitely can relate to that. It feels like every time I take a week off at Gitcoin, I come back, it's a different organization that I left. But, you know, if you're in the right place with the right people, you need to trust that, you know, things are going to be okay. And, you know, if you're not feeling that way, like, maybe that's an indication that you should be thinking about if you are in the right place. And, you know, maybe there's a lot of different orgs, a lot of different, you know, things that you can get involved in, like, don't feel so trapped in the moment, especially for a lot of the younger people in this space, like, you know, don't have a mortgage or kids that they have to take care of, like, you can take those risks, you can make big changes, you can step away if you need to and experiment, explore other things, like, you know, give yourself that permission when the consequences are not nearly as severe as, you know, it will be like when you're, you know, in your 40s or 50s or whatever. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. That is some great advice. Well, thank you for sharing that, all that. And I can definitely resonate with a lot of that, especially the dog part. I have a very hyperactive black lab who I need to get outside at least for three or four walks a day. So it's been, oh, and there's my cat poking its head in the door right now, just on cue as we talk about pets. That's hilarious. So yeah, great advice. Thank you so much for sharing and so important in this, you know, rapidly growing, fast moving space. So it's been a pleasure just learning from you and hearing everything you've had to say. I've learned so much just from this short conversation. Obviously, we weren't able to cover everything. So for those listening along that want to follow you get in touch, learn more about Gitcoins work, what's the best way for them to do that? I am at Ben West on Twitter, because I was lucky enough to have a friend who registered my account for me in 2008. And I'm the same pretty much everywhere. I think Benjamin West on Telegram. I actually, if you go to my Twitter, I have like one of those link tree type things that you can click on it, I'll show you like a bunch of different places to reach me. But Twitter, Twitter definitely works. And probably most people listening to this are active on Twitter. So yeah, come find me there. That's probably the easiest one. Drew, thank you so much for doing what you're doing. By the way, I think you have crypto altruism is great. And the people the interview are super fascinating. And, you know, so so I'm, it's an honor to be part of your podcast. And thanks for doing what you're doing. Yeah, well, thank you. That means a lot. It really does coming from coming from you to hear that I really appreciate that. So thank you. And thank you for sharing all that information. I'll make sure to include that in the show notes for those listening along. And to wrap things up on this amazing conversation, I'm definitely going to have to take some time to reflect, you know, after after this conversation, because so many really cool things we've talked about. I like to ask everyone the same ending question. If you could name one thing that excites you most about the social impact potential of web three, what would it be and why? Hmm. And that's a tough one, because there's so many things that excite me about it. Truth be told, if I could pick one thing that excites me the most, but the thing that excites me the most is the opportunity for communities to empower themselves and accomplish their goals. Like I, you know, when I see projects come into reality that, you know, may not have otherwise that, like, are possible, because of, you know, whether it's Gitcoin grants, or just web three tools in general, you know, that excites me, there's, there's a lot of specific use cases that really are close to my heart. But like, I think the thing that's underneath all of it, you know, is that sort of cultural shift that, you know, that we talked about earlier, like that, you know, idea that decentralization really matters that, you know, individuals should not just be treated like cogs in a machine. You know, and I think for so many of us, we live in these worlds where like, our work day to day is not fulfilling. And, you know, we feel like we're not treated with respect. And to me, that just really sucks that that's fundamentally where we're at in our world. Like, you know, we've kind of democratized so much of our world. Yet, like, our work is this one place that is fundamentally undemocratic, fundamentally exploitative, often, and extractive. And, you know, and like, I think there's a way to change that, that's outside of these kind of old, like, left right socialism, capitalism paradigms. And like, to me, that's really exciting, because I feel like we've been trapped in this kind of debate that doesn't really go anywhere for a really long time. And like, there's a lot more nuance to be had in terms of like, how markets can be used by communities in positive ways, and how people can empower themselves, you know, by using some nifty tools and kind of working together. And, you know, really, just by all of us believing in this thing that we're doing all kinds of amazing stuff as possible. So yeah, I think that's really at the core of what excites me the most. Yeah, that's such a good one. And I couldn't agree more. I think that, you know, Web3 is such an interesting kind of confluence of so many different people and ideas and, you know, philosophies that it's really cool to just kind of be able to build and without kind of having to go through those same debates over and over again. So that's a great point to end on. Couldn't agree more. Ben, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much. Really enjoyed this conversation. And thank you for all you're doing to uplift public goods, Gitcoin and yeah, and to inspire so many early stage projects and builders. So thank you work you're doing. It's been an inspiration to me personally, and I know for many others as well. So thanks for being here today. My pleasure. Honestly, it's an honor and a privilege. And hello to your cat there who's joining us for the tail end. Yes, he always likes to make an appearance. Thanks, Ben. A huge thank you to Ben for coming on the crypto altruism podcast. Whenever someone asks me why I love the Web3 community so much, I typically point to Gitcoin grant season. It's a true testament to the power of decentralization and leveraging the wisdom of the crowd to fund what matters. Gitcoin is an incredible catalyst for public goods in Web3.

A highlight from The Best Altcoins To Buy This Week! (Act Fast)
"This may not be the optimal market to start DCAing into coins for long -term holds, but right now is the optimal time for trading with a lot of amazing trade setups presenting themselves every single week. So in today's video, I'm going to run through the 14, yes, 14 trade setups, all of which are long setups this week, because you know what happens when you try to fight the trend, you get wrecked. This is a market where as long as the uptrend lasts, is your friend until the end of the trend. And that means we long more than we short. So today I have 14 long setups I want to discuss with you. Most of the setups are a little bit shorter term, like mostly focused on this week, but a couple are a little bit longer term, I would say like in the three to four month range. Not focusing on super long term trades here, but still definitely going to have some alpha for you in today's video as to what altcoins I think could be part of a rotation. As we're seeing right now, basically narratives hop from narrative to narrative as traders seem to be rotating profits into different sectors. And we're going to discuss where I think that rotation could take us. 14 very different altcoins in today's show. We're going to cover a couple narratives like gaming, like ZK, and hopefully you enjoy. Smash the like button if you are enjoying the content at the moment. Let's just start with Bitcoin. An interesting observation to make on Bitcoin is that the last time it had four consecutive weekly candles in a row to the upside, as you can see, like we have currently gotten, it actually did this in early January and ended up reversing for two weeks before continuing an uptrend. So I mean, just because it happened once doesn't mean we're necessarily going to get like a sustained pullback now. But I think what needs to happen and what the market is already starting to show us with weekly open here is that Bitcoin needs a little bit of a cooldown. Now a cooldown is not bad for altcoins. A cooldown, if Bitcoin just moves sideways, maybe a little bit down is actually good for altcoins because it gives the alt some breathing room. It takes the wind out of Bitcoin sales a little bit and gives the alt some room to run. So what I want to see longer term is definitely a sustained increase in Bitcoin dominance that shows liquidity is flowing into Bitcoin. And then eventually I want to see that siphon off into the alts. So I actually want to see dominance pushing up to 60 % for a really healthy market. So altcoins can have a sustained run. But for now, if Bitcoin just cools and alts run a little bit, that's okay for now. Another interesting thing to note is that Bloomberg analysts still expect a 90 % chance of a Bitcoin spot ETF approval by the 10th of January. At the moment, the SEC has another five days to approve an ETF. If they don't approve it, then they're going to have to delay until January. So we could see an approval this week. I don't think this will be the case, but it is a possibility given the fact this week we are in an approval window. So definitely look for some volatility on Bitcoin. All right, let's get into the official list of altcoins that I'm looking at my weekly watch list. By the way, this is a show that I've been doing pretty much every week, but obviously now there's extra attention on the show because we're finally getting some market movers. If you looked at my watch list last week, basically I think six out of the seven tokens that I listed all ended up in profits. We had some amazing trades from that watch list. So congratulations to everyone that got involved there. Hopefully from this week's watch list, similarly, we have some good trades that come out of this one as well. The first place I want to start is ThorChain. What you need to understand about ThorChain is that it's the ultimate bull market token. Because of its reflexive mechanism, the more capital that goes into Roon, basically the better the yields end up being because they need to incentivize LPs to stake tokens in the pools to balance out the Roon LP because Roon is pumped in price, right? So when you have a higher APR, a lot of people ape into Roon, increasing the TVL. We can see the TVL is skyrocketing at the moment, as you can see here. And what that means is that Roon has this really explosive effect, this compounding effect, this flywheel when the market starts to deposit into Roon. So Roon is actually pretty much the ultimate bull market token. In a bear market, it's the opposite. It's one of the worst tokens because it gets hit really hard the other way. When the Roon price is going down, the yields tank. A lot of people exit the ecosystem because remember, to facilitate omni -chain swaps, what Roon does is it basically has LPs where you're required to hold an asset one to one with Roon. So if you want to swap from, let's say, Ethereum to Bitcoin, you're going to need in the omni -pool your Roon pairing with Ethereum and Bitcoin in order to facilitate that swap. So that's why in a bull market it does really well and in a bear market it does really bad. Because we're in a bull trend at the moment, Roon is clearly performing really well. It's one of the strongest performers in the market at the moment. And for that reason, if we do see a pullback like we're seeing right now, this is one that I'll look to ladder into on continuation. As I mentioned at the start of the video, this is really a traders market and it's a market where you probably want to be longing more than you are shorting. And when we're longing more than we're shorting, we want to look at the strongest coins. There are a few rotational players that I want to talk about but you generally want to look at the strongest coins and on any major pullbacks you can use them as dip buying opportunities, not for spot but for trades only. So depending on your risk tolerance, you can use different amounts of leverage. Some people, if you have more capital, you'll prefer spot trading. For me, I actually do a fair bit of spot trading so I might go in with a bigger position or a low leverage position because I don't want to get wicked out like we saw on the 10th of November. But here are some levels that you can look at to enter Roon on the pullback. The major level I'm looking at is this cross section here between the horizontal and the upwards diagonal trend which comes at around $4. If Roon somehow makes its way back down there, I don't think it will. This would be an amazing zone to do some buying. If not, then you do have this zone right here at the 4 .7 area that could be an interesting look as a small ladder in zone. You could probably ladder in here and then your last gasp is at $3 .60. If it starts breaking this trend, then that looks really bad that it's just going to reverse all the way back down. I don't think that's going to happen though. I think momentum for Roon has been upwards and as such, we should treat it with respect and it's certainly what I'm looking to have a nibble at if we continue to get any sort of sustained pullback in terms of trading, of course, not long -term. Long -term positions will be on more key high time frame supports. If you want to learn a bit more about that, I actually uploaded a video called If You Miss The Crypto Rally Follows This Exact Roadmap, which talks about long -term investing. So today is the short -term show. Yesterday, if you go onto the channel and go onto my playlist, and there's also a playlist linked in the description, that will give you a roadmap for the spot side of things. In terms of buying spot Roon, you want to be doing so on key support levels on the higher time frames because we don't like to buy long -term positions on the shorter time frames. It just doesn't make or the lower time frames. It just doesn't make any sense, right? 4 swaps an interesting play now starting to wake up as well being the main decks on Roon. This is definitely a 4 beta play or a Roon beta play rather. So 4 is definitely what I'm looking at in a similar gist to what I'm doing with Roon. Any major pullbacks probably going to gobble them up from a trading point of view. And you can also see they closed with an all -time high trading volume right now. A lot of people are actually using Roon to swap, which is an amazing thing and great for the ecosystem. So that's Roon. Now I want to talk about Solana because Solana is in a similar position to Roon in the sense that being one of the most explosive price movers. But it's kind of an interesting spot, right? Because it's come all the way up from what $15 to $53 in price. It actually hit $60 for a brief period of time. Spot holders don't know if they should take profits here. Traders don't know if they should be longing here. It's kind of in a weird position. But if we look at Sol, we can see that it broke above the key weekly resistance at the $48 level. So for me, a pullback into this zone similar to a buying opportunity, because I think what tends to happen with these coins is the most explosive move happens last. We haven't, I don't think seen that blow off top yet. And I may be wrong, this $65 zone could have been this blow off top. But I still have a feeling that we get that final thrust from Solana that just squeezes all those shorts that are now starting to pile up a little bit. And that will be your final blow off top for Solana. So because I think there's a tiny bit of juice left in the lemon here, I would be looking at any major pullback similarly to Rune continuing to ladder in until the trend reverses. Happy to kind of lose a bit of money trying to play this game considering that the upside is fairly immense in my opinion, if you can hit that trade. So Solana is one that I'd be interested in longing on a major pullback. You know the key level on the weekly. Obviously, you want to confirm that with lower timeframe trade setups because you have a fantastic level to look at. And on let's say the one hourly, the four hourly, that's when you'd actually be entering. Okay, let's move on to a new subset of tokens. These are the tokens that haven't moved. I know Rune and Solana have moved aggressively and we are playing the by the dip game, I guess on those ones. But some of the coins I want to talk about now actually haven't really moved. Now they have moved because the whole market's moved, but just not as much like Polygon hasn't done a 5x like Solana has or you know, 6x, 7x like Rune has. It is significantly up of course, but there is a really interesting narrative starting to brew here and that's the ZK narrative. So if you actually remember back to earlier in the year, January, February, some of the strongest performers alongside like AI and LSDs were the ZK coins. There was a lot of ZK hype and Matic being your biggest coin in this ZK basket of coins tends to be a market leader and it also happens to have this big announcement happening on November 14th which is garnering a leader of the ZK sector if ZK starts to wake up. Because right now we're in this rotational market, we saw Solana rotate into Avalanche, we saw that rotate into Phantom, we saw gaming pop off, we're seeing all these narratives pop off, AI popped off last week. I think next, a narrative that hasn't really popped off, but one that did in January is ZK. So Matic's definitely one of them. In terms of trading this, you do have your major support at 76, but what I would be more interested in is a break of the 92 cent level on the four hourly. Any confirmation above this level would be a decent entry in my opinion and you can see this level mapped out on the daily chart as your key resistance that we're currently trying to test at the moment. If we break that level, then suddenly we can look at a scenario that happened earlier in the year in February, as I said during that ZK run, where Matic ran all the way to 150. A 150 Matic in this run is not out of the question at all. In fact, I think it could happen if ZK gains steam. So that's what I'm keeping my eye on. Now let's talk about some of the other ZK protocols, but before we get into that, while we're speaking on the topic of Polygon, if you do want to earn any yield on the Polygon side, you can go to the farming page on SmartX, which is one of our official show partners. It's an AMM, which reduces the negative effects of impermanent loss and sometimes leads to impermanent gain that currently offers some of the most competitive, in fact, the best rates on the Polygon side for yield farming. So you can see in front of you, you've got 30 to 40 % APRs on a variety of pools, which as I said, have a mechanism which reduces impermanent loss, which is obviously one of the biggest headaches when it comes to Lping in crypto. So I highly recommend using the link in the description below to check out SmartX if you are interested in farming, or you can also do swapping on SmartX and get some of the best swap in the market as well. Link in the description below to check out SmartX. I've got some big announcements coming soon that I'm excited to share with you as well, so stay tuned for that. So let's talk about some of the other ZK protocols. So if Matic starts to make a run here, what will I long? Well, I'm going to long the leaders. I'm not going to try and pick the laggards in this sector. I want to pick the strongest coins in this sector. If we look back to the last run, as I mentioned at the start of the year, some of the best performers were Mina Protocol, Loop Ring, Nute and Dusk. So these are the ones I'm looking at because the market's really familiar with them. I think there's a bit of synergy here with that narrative in these coins. So those are some of the ones I'm looking at. But whatever leads in this sector after Polygon, those will be the ones that I'm interested in. And you can see Polygon and Immutable, the two biggest ZK protocols have run, but a lot of the others haven't run yet. So I think it's a narrative that's flying slightly under the radar, but I think it'll catch up quick once it starts to gain steam. So as a rotational play, this is definitely one that I'm interested in this week. Another one I'm interested in, which is already starting to pump, but probably has a little more upside left in it, is Sei Network. Now we know how explosive these career pumps have been in recent times. Pretty much every token that's been listed on Korean exchange a bit has exploded. We saw this earlier in the year with Sui and Aptos. We've recently seen it with Mina Protocol. Now we're on its pair on Upbit. So Sei is definitely one that I'm watching. It's catching a strong career pump. It has moved, but Sei is what I would call a new coin, right? It's a coin that has launched in the bear market. It's newer. It has pumpermentals because there's less underwater bag holders, and it still is down from its original trading price on its first day. Not from IDO price, but from the peak that it hit on its first day because it had a huge pump, ended up coming back down. It did hit its low of, what is it, like 0 .09 here. It's now started to move back up to 0 .15, but that's less than a 2X on a coin that has, as I said, pumpermentals. It's obviously a trading blockchain built in the Cosmos ecosystem. So some interesting stuff with Sei. If you do want an entry here, I mean, you could look to get an initial position, but if you're using leverage, you want to be careful. I mean, this is kind of not really a great place to trade. Obviously on one hourly, you might be able to find, it depends how, like if you're trading breakouts, you could probably look for like a breakout of this trend here. By the time you're watching this video, it might be too late. So the best I can do for you is actually looking on the four hourly and showing you these key support levels. The 0 .1344 level, if we do get some sort of confluence with the horizontal and diagonal trend here, this would be a great pocket to buy in. But any zone along this major support zone will be an area that I load up, but it does depend on your trading strategy. If you are a high leverage trader, you want to be a lot more precise. Me, I'll either go in this with spot or super low leverage. So I'm not so concerned about getting the exact entry. I'm just trying to really catch it for the uptrend. So depends how you trade, of course, if you're trying to snipe that entry, got to be a lot more careful. For me, a much lower leverage than your average person because I found that's what works for me because I don't have time just personally to sit in front of my computer all day and snipe entries. That's not me. I much more size. So let's say instead of taking a 2k position, I'll take let's say a 10k or a 15k spot position. And then I can't get wrecked on margin, which has been helping me a lot. Or I'll just go in with like a 3x leverage position. So it would take a lot to shake me out of a trade. So that is one I'm looking at. Similarly to say another coin that has pumpamentals and has shown this in recent times as another new coin is Celestia. Remember guys, the new coins can pump so much harder than all coins in the market. That's why I've been saying for a long time, you should definitely keep your eye on the new coins from both accumulation and a trading perspective. Celestia, by the way, is one if you've been following me on Twitter that you may have gotten an airdrop for because I did an airdrop guide last year and I included Celestia and this could end up being one of the most lucrative airdrops of the year. Congrats to anyone that watched that guide or watch my tweet and got involved because right now if you held your Celestia bag, you'd won to $2 ,000 but for some people it could be a lot more if you use multiple wallets. So I think this one is fantastic and there's a few people that have been coming out and saying that it's this cycle's soul. Smartestmoney .eth, it's an account I respect. The number one coin m p &l trader on Binance, that's pretty crazy, that is very crazy actually, has added spot to a massive seed position quote unquote and basically said watch and learn wannabes. These guys out here buying salt while I'm buying the next Solana. Big call but I mean the market cap is reasonably valued 700 mil okay five bill fdvs a lot but we know in the short term the circulating supply definitely goes to dictate how explosive the price moves can be market cap 700 mils reasonable at rank 71 calling it the next soul I don't know I like this one I like it as a spot play but not maybe after this massive pump in terms of a trade though super interesting now actually on support trend you'll notice a lot of coins are following the same trend they have a diagonal up trend as long as they stick to that trend you long if they start to break down below you've got to be a little bit wary but they've also got these horizontal support levels that they make after their retracements so this is actually a good one too long there's a couple of levels here for you to look out for on the one hourly on Celestia so that's an interesting one and let's move into some of the final narratives here I've got two more to share with you and both of these include a variety of alt coins so the first one is perpetuals I think if this volatility is to remain in the market we could definitely see perpetuals performing well we're starting to see a catch up in terms of price and fundamentals despite that not being the case a couple of weeks ago and if you see in front of you volume is performing really well this is purpose trading season this is an on -chain aping season this is the season where people are trading perps I think the centralized exchanges are doing the best that's where most people are trading but I think decks could catch up and for this reason as well as the fact that I think volatility could remain for the foreseeable future I think the perp decks remain super interesting looks at the moment not for short -term trades this week but over let's say the medium term so two to three months maybe even six months so these are definitely ones I've got my eye on dydx I'm going to do a video on this week that's a very interesting trade GMX and gains network being the ones that are kind of your decks perp decks proxies and a few others and as you can see on the weekly a lot of these are barely moved so especially like GMX and games they're a very interesting look in my opinion and if you do want to snipe better entries on a coin like GMX I recommend you use Kyber AI which is a software that basically tells you the momentum of a coin based on a variety of on -chain indicators like the number and types of trades trading volume net flow to whale wallets and what I would do on a coin like GMX is essentially if you're lining up a buy and let's say you want to start buying when shifts momentum what I would look for is a pattern like this where it shifts from bearish into bullish territory now since this video is not live you're gonna have to open your up your own Kyber AI using the link in the description below to see where it currently is but right now this would actually be potentially an interesting place to long GMX if on the lower time frames it lines up with what the Kyber score is showing which is basically bearish price momentum shown by a strong reversal so heading back into bullish territory as you can see buys are now starting to outpace cells and volume is also up ticking across GMX all of those are metrics that go into the Kyber score Kyber score is one of my favorite metrics in crypto if you go to rankings you can actually sort by market cap I love doing this so I go more than 500 million for the large caps that you can actually trade perps on and you can see which coins are looking the most bullish this can help you get entries in the market especially in a bullish market like this searching for the bullish coins can be an amazing way especially using on -chain analysis to get better trading entries so link in the description to check out Kyber AI it's an extremely useful tool especially for confluence with getting trading entries and crypto bad to subscribers will get early access versus the rest of the pack so link in the description below of course it's free so not showing you anything paid it is a free service to use the last narrative I want to talk about quickly is one I think people are forgetting about it has had a bit of a pullback um but it's the gaming narrative into YGG the reason I say people are forgetting people aren't forgetting about gaming there's a lot of talk about crypto gaming on twitter but I think they're forgetting about one of the biggest gaming conferences in five days time starting on November 18th it lasts for a week there definitely could be some I mean a lot of the major projects are speaking there so there could be some interesting announcements and even if not I think there's bound to be hype into that conference so for that reason definitely keep your eye on the gaming projects there's two in particular that I like YGG because it's their conference and this is now having a pullback into a decent zone in my opinion and also GMT which on the weekly and I know once again you don't enter short -term trades on the weekly but on the weekly if it can pull back down into this pocket at 0 .22 and confirm this is support and if you line that up with your lower time frame indicators of course that could be a decent zone also to enter a GMT trade so gaming is something I'm not going to fade the bees are kind of going from one narrative to another but gaming is one that I've got my eye on ahead of the conference so I hope you enjoyed this video these are all the narratives I'm looking at right now mostly short -term some medium to long -term hope you enjoyed this was fast it was alpha packed let me know in the comments below if there are any other coins I should look at and I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.

Treat Others the Way THEY Want to Be Treated With Ciara Lynch
"You know the way like people often say like treat people how you want to be treated that's not actually true like you should actually treat people how they want to be treated because it's exactly to your point for some people like public recognition is horrifying yes there were times you would think not giving someone more hours is a good thing but you're right if someone is trying to save then it isn't so I think that's amazing that you're bringing that in to the farm as a workplace I suppose our biggest thing is you get that you're trying to be like an employer of choice yes yeah you know we just want to suppose create a place where people are happy coming to work and like there's a couple of the you know and I'll know if they're having a good day or a bad day because they'll they'll like if they're happy I just they'll be whistling they'll be singing they'll be you know do their work or do their jobs whereas I know okay if he's quiet and you know you'll kind of get down to the crux of the issue there really quickly but yeah it's it's just it's trying to create a really nice workplace as nice as possible and look we don't always get it right you know there's always going to be a couple of people who don't agree with how you do things and that's just life that's nature you know that's just human human elements on it because when you're in our business there's there's times where it's really you know it's high pressure like calving season I'm sure you remember from you know from growing up my calving season is full on like it is I always say if I'm to compare it to like my marketing spiel it's like it's pitch week yes for 12 weeks straight and then you have you know a nice maybe two or three week break and then you're into breeding season which is like double pitch week that's like coming down to the crunch that is you know we're just going to find on the new flight but we need to make sure that all of these things are done yeah and you're exhausted you're emotionally drained you are you're you're spent and then you go back into like another another heavy 12 weeks so we always kind of say like from february to the very june don't knock on the door um called in our house because we're just like zombies and but you have to be and that's where you really have to be aware of how people are behaving and just kind of monitoring people's behavior are you doing okay do you know do you need extra time off you know what's going on are you feeling all right because it's a busy time it can be really stressful this spring in particular was really tough on all farmers the weather just was it rained from March pretty much straight through to May you know and that puts physical pressure on because I mean cows supposed to be out normally we'd be lucky enough we'd have cows out kind of by the end of february we still have cows in shed in May and that takes us to the body and the mind right is it ever and you know you know at some point it will stop
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from Mindful Gifting for Caregivers and Dementia Navigators
"Remember the joy of unwrapping a thoughtful gift that was just the right fit for you? Well, being a caregiver doesn't diminish that need, it just changes it. Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, who brings with her an array of gift giving ideas for caregivers and those living with dementia. Our conversation zigzags through a spectrum of unique gifts, focusing on both physical items and shared experiences. Welcome to Fading Memories, a podcast for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. I'm your host, Jennifer Fink. My mom had Alzheimer's for 20 years, and when I went looking for answers, I had to start a podcast to find them. Join me as we navigate the challenges of dementia caregiving together. This podcast is your beacon of support and empowerment. Let's share our experiences, find solace, and discover the strength within us. Get ready to embark on a transformative caregiving journey with Fading Memories. If you're looking for additional advice, be sure to sign up for our weekly email newsletter. It's brief, gives you great advice, you can read it in less than five minutes, and you know where to find the link. It's in the website, on the show notes. We're working on subscriber -only information and specials, so you're not going to want to miss out. When I learned that despite eating as healthy as possible, we can still have undernourished brains, I was frustrated. Learning about neuro reserves, Relev8, and how it's formulated to fix this problem convinced me to give them a try. Now I know many of you are skeptical, as was I. However, I know it's working because of one simple change. My sweet tooth is gone. I didn't expect that, and it's not something other users have commented on, but here's some truth. My brain always wanted something sweet. Now fruit usually did the trick, but not always. One bad night's sleep would fire up my sugar cravings so much they were almost impossible to ignore. You ever have your brain screaming for a donut? Well, for me, those days are gone. I believe in my results so much that I'm passing on my 15 % discount to you. Try it for two or three months and see if you have a miraculous sweet tooth cure, or maybe just better focus and clarity. It's definitely worth a try. Now on with our show. Hello, hello, you guys are gonna love today because we're talking about gifts and gift giving for people with dementia. And it's a perfect day to discuss that because today is my daughter's birthday. So I would wish her a happy birthday, but she's not a listener. So what I will do is thank Elizabeth Miller from the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast for coming on and sharing her gift guide and her knowledge. So thanks for joining us today, Elizabeth. Thank you for having me, I'm excited to be here. Awesome, I know we haven't done one together. I was on your show a while ago, but you haven't been online. Yes, vice versa. Yes, I love Fading Memories and I love that it's part of the whole care network. Definitely, so. We're all part of the same family. So you've been podcasting for six years as well, right? Yep, I'm in my sixth season. I launched in November's National Family Caregivers Month. So happy National Family Caregivers Month, everybody. And that was a launch. I try to do some kind of special every year, but I think I don't really have a launch this year. Just keep on keeping on. I've been really focusing on the speaking part of my business and really trying to get out there as far as reaching different companies and organizations to scale the caregiving support. Yes, it's definitely something we need. So where should we start? Do you wanna start with gifts for caregivers or gifts for people living with dementia? Let's, I mean, I'm always one to put the caregivers first. So like - Sounds like a plan. Yeah, so I think when it comes to buying gifts for caregivers, anything is probably going to be appreciated, right? We're just so grateful that somebody has been thinking about us and has us top of mind. But there's a lot of different things you can do, I think, for a family caregiver. And of course I also like self -care focused ones because not only are you giving them a gift, but you're giving them a tool of something that can help them mitigate burnout. So anything from like stuff that they would use like every day, we just had this in the fall, we have a sister's weekend and we do this favorite things party. Have you ever heard of that? Where we decided we were gonna each bring three things. We were gonna be $25 or less. This might be a great idea for someone to do as a swap exchange for their book club or their caregiver support group or whatnot. But I brought three of the same things. We kind of presented them, they're not wraps. But I got a lot of good ideas there this year for things like we had the things to clean our glasses, which would be a good thing for, they're called peeps. They're good for caregivers and for care recipients. Anybody who's wearing sunglasses even because they get grody, right? Very practical gift constantly. And then we had things like I'm wearing it now, actually. I love this Maybelline Lifter Gloss. It's affordable, it tastes good. Not that you're eating it, but you're gonna get some in your mouth on something. Smells good, it stays on decent. So I had brought that as part of mine. And then there was some cool body scrubs and lotions from, I think it was called La La Licious. So I think anything that can help us, oh, a boom stick was another one. It was like stuff that, this would be a very handy little makeup tool for a caregiver because you can put some quick color on your face, you can use it on your lips. Like it's one of those try it anywhere type of things. That's something you could like throw in your purse or your bag and when you look in the mirror and go, oh, it kind of looks so painful. Emergency, emergency. Yeah, put it, throw it in your self care tote. So I think little things like that, everybody's got different budgets these days as far as stuff that you can use. We did this, I do a Happy Healthy Caregiver virtual cafe is kind of every other month I do different kind of support where I wanna do some kind of a unique event for caregivers and introduce them to something. We had a Zentangle consultant come and teach us how to Zentangle. And it's basically like you're creating patterns. It's an abstract art, but it's very meditative. And she had given away as part of a prize this Sakura Zentangle artist tool set, it's like $20. But the thing with Zentangle is you use these little paper and you use like a micro tip pen. And so it's the little kit for that. And I like it because it's portable. You could throw it again in a self -care tote bag and pull it out just to kind of like, I need a mindful moment quick. Cause I'm a journaler, I love my journal of course, but I got that here too, the Just For You daily self -care journal, it's a prompted journal. And this is one form of meditation and doing that, but the Zentangle and an art journaling is another type of where it just gives you calm and peace. I can tell you, I felt very differently at the beginning of that session than I did at the end of the session. So something creative there. But I think too, when you're given a gift for anybody, whether it's a caregiver or care recipient, like just thinking about that person and what they naturally like and what they care about or what they maybe have mentioned to you in conversation could be something that would spark something. I was thinking, unless you know for sure they have a green thumb, don't give people a plant. They don't need something else to take care of. Yeah, I think as caregivers, right, we crave less things to take care of. The only exception I have to that would be the, I did get an AeroGarden one year, it's like for herbs. Right now I have basil, my basil is like taken off. And even if I can't use it in what I'm cooking, cause I'm not like this huge culinary chef, I learned this tip from another caregiver, Lisa Negro, where she said, she rubs it in her hands and smells the basil on her hands. I've been using it to freshen up my garbage disposal. Like I literally take some leaves off of it and put it in there to make it smell better. That's a really good idea. And I have a good idea cause I have the same issue. I have two pots with basil in it. I mentioned the other day, we needed to do a pasta dish with pesto. My husband was like, why? And he's like, oh, nevermind, I know why. Cause the plants are like big. It's pesto time. Yeah, it's like, and that's not something we normally eat a lot of anyway, cause you know, a lot of olive oil, it's not the healthiest sauce, but it is tasty. But I have been making basil mayonnaise and you basically just grind up, I think it's like half a cup of mayo and a third a cup of basil. I just do it to taste cause when I did it per the instructions, it needed a little more basil and I had a little more basil, so I threw it in there. And I am telling you, that is, that makes lunch just - Oh yeah, it's just like a little extra special and all you need is, you know, food processor or you know, maybe a blender, I don't have a blender. So I just use the food processor, grind it up and - Sounds yummy. It is really good and it's, you know, I throw just a touch of lemon juice in it just to kind of give it, you know, a little extra, what do they call it? Brightness, which that's a very strange culinary term, but yeah, it's delicious and it's, you know, you just plop in however much mayonnaise you need and then keep adding basil until it tastes the way you want it to taste, super easy. Never thought to use that. I think like little things like that, where you take something that people are doing all the time and you can maybe elevate it a little bit. So think about like, if someone's a tea drinker, you know, how could you make that special? Like, you know, tea, splurging on teas that they might not buy for themselves or the presentation of it and packaging it all together, maybe with some biscotti or something like that. Like it just like treat them, treat them to something spectacular. I also think anything pampering, like a massage gun or a silk pillowcase or a obviously nail appointment for their, you know, find out from their person where they go for those types of things and a gift certificate to that. I'm a big reader. So like reading is really fun for me, but sometimes, you know, there's lights now that you can get. I don't wanna hold a flashlight at night. I don't necessarily like reading a Kindle book all the time. So, but there's lights that you can light up and I can think of caregivers using that cause sometimes we're doing those things in very precocious types of places. What else would be good? I mean, any kind of activity that you can help encourage. I'm into pickleball recently. Have you tried to explore pickleball, Jennifer? No, there is a big pickleball teams in our community. I have very wacky vision. So I don't have depth perception. I have blazey eye and it wasn't corrected until I was four. So I could very, very much understand my mom's visual processing problems because I have similar ones myself. I don't realize, I know I don't have depth perception, but it's been this way my entire life. So, it's not abnormal for me, but I don't like balls getting hurled at me cause I'm ducking and I'm not trying to hit it back. I could probably play with the hubby, but you'd have to hit the ball gently towards me or else it's not gonna be very fun. Yeah, yeah. Well, I love it cause it's an accessible sport. It's definitely geared, it's for all ages, frankly, but something like that could be fun. Like, hey, let's, I think experiences are amazing. Let's take a pickleball lesson together. Let me take you on a hike. I got you this fun little hat and I looked up a hiking trail, something where you can really be someone's self -care cheerleader and have some kind of an experience together, a cooking class, a lesson of some sort where it's kind of a twofer, right? They're learning something and they're getting away from the caregiving world for a moment. And if you're looking for cooking classes, I did one through King Arthur Baking. It was called Pizza Perfected and it was on Zoom cause they're in freaking Vermont. So I'm not getting there anytime soon. Totally want to go, I use tons of their recipes, but yeah, it's like, I don't know how we got into just really, we really like to make our own pizza at home. We haven't done it for a while cause life, but it's not that hard, especially when somebody walks you through it and they sent you the video after, you know, like the next day. So you got to do it live and I think it was like 40 bucks. It wasn't expensive and it was at least two hours. And I have the video, it's saved in my Dropbox files and I can access it if, you know, cause there's some techniques that you don't necessarily know, you know, and I mean, just learning that technique was worth the 40 bucks, but it was a nice experience. So if you can't get out or, you know, I don't, I live in the Sierra foothills, so I don't live near things, even though I'm only an hour north of the state Capitol. It's like, there's some pros and cons to smaller air, quieter areas, depending on the day, sometimes the cons outweigh the pros, but yeah, there's, and I'm sure there's other places that do online cooking. I bet there are. And even, you know, maybe your person, your caregiver is not a person who enjoys cooking at all. And then, you know, I know for me, I used to dread the question as a sandwich generation working caregiver, like what's for dinner? And I'm like, oh, why do these people have to eat all the time? So something like that could be, you know, a subscription to like the green chef or some kind of prepared meals, or even like a Uber Eats or a DoorDash gift card for those, what are we gonna eat emergencies? I think all of that, I mean, just putting yourself in the mind of all the things, if you're a caregiver listening, like what you wish you had and what would have been helpful for you, having someone mow the lawn, like, or I'm gonna do your laundry this week. Like there's a lot of things too that even if you don't have a budget, like just showing up for someone else and doing something, taking something off of their plate would be amazing. Yeah, you could offer to help put up decorations for the holidays or you could offer to help do some deep spring cleaning, which the only reason that's coming to mind today is my golden retriever goes to the dog park regularly and the dog park has its own lake.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Wholehearted Worship
"Now, if you can turn your Bibles, your Raps, to 1 Corinthians 14. After today, we got one more before we talk a little bit about gratitude, and then we get into the incarnation in preparation for Christmas. And we're going to pick up in verse 13, therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing praise with my mind also. Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say to amen your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. Nevertheless, in church, I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others than 10 ,000 words in a tongue. Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants and evil, but in your thinking, be mature. In the law, it is written, by people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners, I will speak to this people, and even then, they will not listen to me, says the Lord. Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers, but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers, but for believers. If therefore the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? But if all prophecy and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all. The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. May God bless the reading of his word this morning. Let's pray. Father, as we sit under the counsel of your word, make us like trees that are planted by the river, bearing fruit and season. May your word not return void, but may you do great things through the renewing of our minds this morning. Well, there are a number of song lyrics that people mishear. Not, you know, it's not the weird Al making up new lyrics to a song, but because of all the stuff that's going on in the music and the blurring of consonants and of the sound of vowels, people hear the wrong thing. And so one of the more famous or some of the more famous ones are, there's a bathroom on the right. Yeah, Jimi Hendrix in some people's mind said, excuse me while I kiss this guy. That's not what he's saying. For some people, it's sweet dreams are made of cheese. Perhaps that's speaking about pizza dreams. I'm not really sure. But for others, they thought we built this city on sausage rolls. So I'm not sure how that happens. Dire straits apparently once saying money for nothing and chips for free. That's a good restaurant right there. I can see clearly now Lorraine is gone. Queen saying apparently in some people's minds, kicking your cat all over the place. Okay, sometimes I want to kick cats. I don't tell my children that. And the last one is I used to work with someone who's thought the song was tube steak boogie. Not sure what hot dogs or sausage have to do with the boogie, but nonetheless, that's what she thought. We can be confused about things. That's where really I'm going about this. There's a lot that can happen within the course of a worship service that can be confusing to people. They don't understand. They don't hear right. And we don't want to add to that confusion unnecessarily. And this morning, we're going to talk about wholehearted worship. And Paul continues with that theme that he has begun already about the need for intelligibility, the need for people to understand what you're saying, and I would say by extension, what in the world is going on? And so the first part of this that I want to talk about from verses 13 and 19 is that wholehearted worship engages mind and spirit. Wholehearted worship engages both the mind as well as the spirit. Paul has been talking about how love is intended to govern the spiritual gifts precisely so that we grow in faith, hope, and love. And as we grow in faith, hope, and love, we can offer to others in the course of our worship strength, encouragement, and comfort.

"The exorcist was easy to kind of want to throw this one under the bus but really three episodes in. I'm really intrigued by this series and really like all the characters. We'll hear from the gentleman who made the pitch to get this series on the air. Plus two of the actors as well and gentleman is jeremy slater he created the series and also co wrote fantastic four and also broke the lazarus effect movies. I'm a lifelong hor fan I saw the original exorcist as a child. Traumatize me for weeks When when i heard that they were turning the extra system into a tv show and they were looking for a writer So that's a terrible idea. Please don't do that. you're never going to. You're never gonna tell that story better. You're only going to tell it longer But i went into the holders. And i kind of aggressively pitched if you guys don't want to tell the same story about reagan and father merrin father karras if you want to tell a brand new story with brand new group of characters that takes place in the same universe but forty years later. So you're not writing the original film out of existence. You're not saying this story never took place. You're just exploring. What is possession what is demonic. Possession looked like in twenty sixteen. What is an exorcism look. Like after seeing exorcisms in pop culture for forty years What is it. Like following an american family The course of ten hours watching that family fall apart when they're attacked by the supernatural force as opposed to trying to cram all that into ninety minutes Those were the things that appeal to me And and really drew me to the project. And that's kinda been our guiding philosophy. Going forward is to just tell something. That's respectful of what came before but but try to blaze trail try to create something new that kind of stands on its own to fade instead of just a sort of parade of oh mazdas and tipping the hat to the original. The rightsholders morgan creek had the rights. To to william peter blatty novel the exorcist and they wanted to the original plan. I think before. I came on board with with a different Different show runner. The original plan was to kind of tell the same story on and and i basically pitched them This is three years ago. So fargo didn't exist at the time. But i basically pitched in the horror version of fargo. Where it's it takes place in the same universe as the movie you know and love. And it has the same basic tone. And we're tackling the same themes of faith and spirituality and good versus evil So hopefully if you like the original film that will thank you. You also like the television show. You will say it will feel familiar to you but at the same time. It's it's not a story where you already know the ending of it you. This is a brand new story with a brand new cast of characters and and and so. That's a huge part of the appeal is. We don't have to kind of follow in the footsteps and kind of stick to a script that everyone in america already knows the ending of that particular story. it gives us the chance to really surprise audiences and do something fresh and new. What's interesting is having the to switch. The first movie did so well but the biggest difference is other. Marcus is the exact opposite of. Mary is an accomplished he. He's kind of a. he's kind of a man without a country a lot of ways and then father. Tomas is a total. And it's but he's trying to find what has calling talk about kind of developing those two characters and to make the mistake and kudos for making latino butter way which is a thank you Yeah we we knew that we wanted to priests obviously a young and old but it didn't appear there was no appeal in in kind of using the exact same archetype so we had to look for new ways. We can kind of spin these characters and also just what what appeals. What's appealing about this character where you could tell stories about him not just for ten episodes in this first season but maybe for six or seven seasons if the show is hint like what makes someone you would want to follow on a journey. And so the idea of creating a father marcus. Who's sort of a james bond figure. He's very much a man without a country. A bit of a soldier of fortune someone who has The catholic church has turned their back on him in a way. He's he is kind of their dirty little secret that they would prefer to forget. And he's kind of gone rogue little bit and as is is living off the grid and continuing this fight and then contrasting that with someone like tomas you know. Tomas is basically your perfect priests where he's compassionate and he's a lovely he someone. You would trust with your deepest darkest secret. All he wants to do is help. the people around him but at the same time. He is dangerously naive. He doesn't believe in these things he has. I if you come to him and start talking about demonic possession. He's going to explain. The concept of demons are metaphors. They these these aren't actual physical tangible beings to be afraid of and obviously tomas is learning very quickly that he was wrong about the world and so he can really serve as our as our entry point for the audience. He can be our eyes and ears. As we're kind of introduced to this larger world my original pitch was that every season is going to be a self contained story from beginning to end. It's it's not an anthology show like american horror story where we're going to reset. I mean the characters who survived this first season. You will see them again. Hopefully in future seasons It so it is an ongoing story. But i wanted every season to be. Its own sort of case. I think if you try to do the extra system monster of the week show and every week. They're doing a different exorcism. Halfway through the season you would run out of stories to tell. And you'd be off. Marcus and tomas would be investigating the jersey devil or ufo sightings or something like that and then it would just turn into another x-files clone and the world has enough of those So so the goal was was. Let's dive in. Let's tell make sure. It is first season as a beginning middle and an end. So by the end of the season you will get a definitive answer to the possession of casey rants and then and then if if audiences respond we'll see where we go from there. We're lucky enough to get a second season. I got a lot of ideas episode. Four which is a week from tomorrow. you're going to see an exorcism performed by someone who is not a catholic priest We're we're going to start expanding that world and and saying you know the mythology of our show is that there is a secret war going on that that evil has already invaded there already among us. They have their own plans. They have their own agenda. And so that's not an evil that's focused on just fighting one religion that it's it's it's it's it's good versus evil and so i think as the show goes on. I think that's part of the fun is starting to say what is an exercise in. Look like if it's performed by santa rita priests what does it look like if it's performed by none. What does it look.

"Definitely a science roy he tells us about this cast and how they work. Oh it's great. It's it's it's always interesting when you get a group of actors together and they embrace the material and suddenly materials better on camera than is page. Which is what you're always looking for. You know i've been fortunate. Working a lotta casts that tend to lift what you're what you're doing and they become people really join them and watch. There's a dynamic between the writers in the room and the cast on stage where you start writing to their voices learn what their strengths are and playing that and seeing the chemistry between them as they play so now moving to the second year of the show. And we kind of know this cast. We're gonna know what they can do. And you start carving to show a different way that you did the first season where you worked so far ahead and you're still like writing the characters as you thought they were originally and then you watching you kind of behind kurd. And then you haven't even edited for a while so it takes a while until you've kind of figured out who your what's your on samba is and what they're capable of. And then you take. Apply that knowledge into the second answer. I liked what you get when you bring a character like jerry ryan. Tonight show canisters things that really gives an internal cia. What she liked the first choice to play. I think she was. She was one of those roles that came up with some are saying we should jerry ryan. Well yeah but she's probably not going to do it and the next thing you know there's more With helix but i wanna tell you about some really cool changes on fi talk premium.

So i really hope you'll join me for great season coming up on scifi talk premium gorski. Who has dr julia walker. Had quite an arkansas season. One returns once again what i've gotten from season to already. I know that my character just like the first season. I went through a pretty intense character. Arc i mean they really love to put me through the wringer it left to torture mean don't they you know the box the muzzle the whole. Okay shower attack But what i've gotten from the first episode. That i've seen it's it's really going to attach the psychological thriller aspect of the show. Which was kind of my favorite part to be on his. What makes it unique and mysterious and spooky. And it's going to go far into that. I'm still trying to find out what's happening with me. I mean. I think she might start playing a number of angles and I know that writers like to spring things on us last minute. But i think that i'm going to be all over. The mob must be confusing even for me to figure out. Every time i knew episode just like last season it was. That's happening to me now. Okay you know it's In because it saifi and because the way we shot the show gave a lot of creative freedom and so they can kind of go anywhere and exciting part. So i think joel's definitely i mean. Let's face it. She had a lot taken from her and and a lot happened to her. So there's the core of who she was but some of those things will change but then she's gonna hold onto some of that so i guess people do whatever they have to do to survive. She describes the shower scene between walker. And peter what's funny. Is that when we started shooting. I'd only read the pilot episode. And then we're in the middle of shooting. I get up so tune and said oh so. There's a shower scene. That's interesting thanks guys but Yeah that was. That was a surprise to but i thought it was amazing and it was a lot of fun to shoot honestly just because Brad turner director on that one. He's a really classy guy. I'll admit i was a little nervous. Because i didn't know how they were gonna shoot it and i'm a mom of two kids. Nobody needs to see that. How are we shooting this buddy But he's he's a classy guy and he said look. It's going to be frosted glass and it's going to be just really about the relationship and the whole i felt so completely comfortable. Neal is awesome. His great person to work with these totally professional. And i knew him from before too and so i just felt i was completely comfortable with the crew with everyone and we were able to go for. It ended up being a lot of fun to sheep. Seen it was terrifying. I mean even. When i watched it i still felt this thing in my stomach and to be honest they pulled back on what they showed because what they shot. I think the first cut was. It was really long and the screaming. That was happenings. I wasn't i didn't know how i was. We didn't have anything planned. But the way that i was screaming. It's just it just gets you in the stomach. It's just not good. She tells us more about possible. Triangles like the allen. Farag julia walker. Sarah jordan one from season one there might be a couple of triangles going on and something that i love about the way they did. This show is with the women characters. At least especially with julia. She's not there because of her ex husband. She doesn't exist because of her relationships. I think that's important with women and tv and film that's why. Tv's gotten so good characters mazing these days So i love that. They would set something up and you want something to happen but they never either have time to address it. Or there's always something better to do and i thought that was really interesting about last season. That you don't burn Billy campbell with allen like we didn't have a conversation about us until episode ten. And so i thought that was. That was really interesting so those things are going to even in the first episode of season. Two there's some interesting things that happened but it comes out in a way that you don't expect of course it. Hasn't he looks okay. So there's a new location. We can't talk about specifics. But how is it like kind of working in this Well i haven't been there yet. I haven't seen it yet. We start in two weeks so I'm actually heading to montreal straight. After this i can get settled and start training and stuff like that.

Tori how are you guys. You know for snyder. It just seems like at the end of the season. where is he exactly with the new. He's not where he was out of the office I can't tell exactly where he is but he's around. He is definitely out of power back in power in a more minimal way in a very Very different place Still trying his best to sort of maintain control the situation. And it's sort of a brave new world for first nighter. Which is exciting for me. And for broussard i think is this a new look. Oh yeah yeah. Yeah i look does yeah. Yeah yeah you know. It didn't take the beer for him to be scared anyway. so you know. I think is having to pick up the pieces i think. He thought he had a plan. Last season of where things will go. And then i think that the very last minute katie through curveball that he wasn't expecting me. And so i i think it's gonna be fascinating to see how that all plays out Ultimately was still being occupied and we still have to fight these people who are trying to have us move Live under their rule of thumb And so you know. I think that's where we'll we'll find him w- also get into his his historian a little bit more why he does the things he does. And how did he become. You know the do that was trying to get this person to scenes that. I thought kind of painted him a little differently when they were trapped in the bar when he went to see his daughter to heavily his complex men which is which is a testament to the writing. Carlton ryan g. Great job all of these guys too. I think the show succeeds. Is that these characters and first glance you see. Well he's resisting. he's collaborating empower. He's not there so well drawn so much deeper than that and For snyder that was the joy of playing him was that you've got somebody who's not just your normal data villainous man control. He's got. I did i felt for. You watched an episode. Which when you're i was like he's an asshole but saw sea with you when your daughter and i thought that's that's just those testament to you and your performance is really great so i agree with you on that and it was wonderful. I don't much steel. So get that in your head. But i'm just saying you can continue to watch my work and sort of learning to do it work. You'll see. I think you'll see the tory will be better this season because we'll have had the first season to see what i did and then moving forward. That's why they did it. No taking notes from this guy actually alley walker told me that just cracked her up every time you do work. Oh yeah she's she's l. Root it's a fun relationship between us. Because i never can get on solid footing with her. And she's very much in control She's a terrific actress very fun. At times. You've got you both play kind of morally. Ambiguous guys do they characters ever follow you home not him no no no. I can't i can't go home like that. No don't think it's really ambiguous. You know he's pretty clear about how the lindsay's willing to go to get their So but the things that he does tori no could not you know. No i have to leave that At at the sentenced to man to death from saw through under false pretenses and similarly. I was doing what i thought was right And i've done that in real life not doing right but sentenced a man to death so it was not that it wasn't that difficult for me. no problem taking it home. Well you guys have a great series. Enjoy your work in it. Too solid actors. Such a pleasure to watch thank you. Here's creator ryan cundell mentioned to him that. I'm a cuban refugee. And i kind of knew even though i was young what it was like to live in an occupied country in this place. Planet aliens invading. So there's a lot of familiar themes to me and we talked about that and also season two of college like to be a person. Were some outside much. Worse comes in and takes over and as we went through and you know we drew from soviet stories and stories of poland both under nazi rule and then under soviet later on and then want him annella always director who directed much episodes of milot accessories last season. These are producing director this year. Directing five episodes of the season president. Hero ruben argentina. The dictatorship in the seventy six. He had all new gorillas that were government separatist in new people that had been disappeared with plane of won out over the ocean drops and and never heard from again so he had all these tremendous stories out of that world. That just really inspired us more. We realize was this. Is this story resonates as it in for you. You know growing up in cuba with so many people around the world because unfortunately it's in our nature to squelched grass for The weaker size of our ourselves inactivated and desire for our. That's why i think that's the show is relevant. Now he relevant again and fifteen years preceding two spoilers. of course. obviously there's a lot going to akron aliens. Learn more about history where they're from. Yeah we're gonna learn a lot more about what's going on the occupation land and they are people how they control everything and what. We're gonna see much more of the world zoos so we wanna get this overseas analyst block loss whereas in santa monica this year. Another block within the call. And we're gonna see outside the walls of the colorado outside story that takes so we're really excited. We think that expands out also shows the darker. Much more aggressive dork. Yes he's season. This year says tougher characters and willing katie themselves they. The relationship was born mark and now they're physically located. Will they come back together if they do come back together. We'll be able to reconcile they have is a really rich place to tell acciari. Sally snyder. He's i mean. He essentially lost favor.

Listen your ship shifts perspective. Yeah i totally agree. I totally agree. Yeah we do. We do need. Yeah just seems like. We're kind of going in a strange direction. That's not a very good one. So hopefully we right the ship right but i tell you the expanse is such a awesome show. And i i. I love the misfits you and west. I mean that's so cool we we're being called the couple couple. I love it. I mean that the whole rossy grew and then you know holding such a moral center. It's like we have to do this. We can't let it go and you know he really. He was a guy that was didn't want to be a leader by any step of the the way and then he's thrust into it because of the situation and realize it or something bigger than himself. That's such a great storyline. Really really is yeah. I agree yeah. It's a it's an amazing and one thing that's really interesting about that. Story is in the books. The first book of five and wakes the The canterbury takes a distress call And goes to investigate and all the disastrous starts happening in the books. The person who tells the canterbury to go to investigate distress call isn't holding. It's the captain. Okay and so what ends up happening is that you know the the ship gets destroyed and number running for their lives but it's all just random. It's just all bad coincidence. What they did in the tv show. And i thought it was brilliant The creators anomalous and the writers and the rented rooms decided. Let's make that decision holding decision and they may hold in. Go and file report. The distress call so that they add to go and it was holdings fault that they went to investigate the distress call which caused the destruction of the canterbury right. Awesome his friend so hold on now. Bears the burden of that guilt. The man who never wanted to make a decision in his life man who did not want to be the man who never wanted to be an authority. He likes to be the number three or the number for the coast through live his life without making any decisions. One time in his life he makes a decision of conscience and it completely just throws a wrench in the higher universe. Everything falls apart from the shit. Hits the fan one decision. I thought it was a brilliant choice. One what a great way to catapult a guy on a story of redemption then have his first choice that ever makes lead to the death of his entire crew and send the remaining survivors on A run for their lives for the next few years. Really move one thing. I love about kamalle in how you play him. I don't know if it's in the script or something new came up with. But i think it's very realistic. That it would be too easy to have him talk with an accent all the time but but it's like my wife is from the south and grew up. You know moved there from ohio and occasionally when she's talking to friends from down there the accent comes back so or when she's tired or when she's a little tipsy or exactly how it works and that's something that it's not in the script so much as it is and discussion. We had with the the directors and the writers is that is that there are times. When is his texas thing comes out a little bit more more strong and there's other times when it's actually you can't quite hear it the same way when they're under pressure they're under stress. There's no time for that. Then that's it's more something for when things are calm relaxed or his social situation or maybe he's drinking a little bit Or there's a some sort of expression some southern expression that seems very pertinent to that particular situation and then And then it comes out with the with southern warps to it. Yeah no i i. It's a it's a nice shading character and it just makes him more real. We really appreciate that. I mean it just grounds him. It's like i know people like that. You know that's really that's really thank you. I appreciate that no. It's it's you know. I love when actors bring things like that to the table. And it's not only disgust by them but also the people directing them in writing for them it just shows they wanna make show. That's really human and It worked because we care about based on reality. Yeah absolutely yeah we and we care about these folks you know we really do. We want to see them You know we're invested in what they're going through so it's That's part of it. You know we'll. We begin each year with the expansion.

"Thimbles or something. You want to do the same thing over and over again neil. Gaiman adapted his book. That he co wrote. Were terry patchett. He joined us along with director. Douglas mackinnon with good omens very specific. different books. have different problems with good almonds. The very specific problem of this is absolutely impossible. Specific problem that you don't normally have with most books all to protect your ears. People central's impulsively. I i love the fact. That jon hamm when i emailed him unsaid good omens was like. Hey yeah i've read it years ago. One of my favorite books unfilmable isn't it. Let's see so a lot of it actually was just not just demand for dr. And they're going filled them. I mean mostly you know what. I tried to trust the book. The book has a very specific tone of voice. The book doesn't have many jokes. It just has things that are kind kinda funny which was something. I didn't know until i listened to the radio. Four z radio four adaptation. I'm going actually jokes just. I realize we didn't do that in a lot of the time. We'd make the dialogue serious and because everybody in it is dealing with serious situations and i believe the jokes to the voice of the book which then meant that i would. Okay well. I need to have a voice on gonna have essentially. It's the voice of god so then we had to figure out how to cast the boise. God how we need to give somebody a break. So that's why we've got francis macdonald. No i i mean i think formidable thing about good omens it's just the the the epic nature of a and i mean for me whether whether i'm just stupid or no because i just went noble. Just do just entered every day filming like any other day of filming a being big shows before i know what big set pieces like you know you go. I mean the worst they had my history filming was doing the waterfall scene and sherlock rights. And it can't get any worse than that. Nearly killing benedict martin onto under scott. So i figure well good is going to be easier. We often did it. We have to with the charlotte. Just bulls go go forwards and say. We are going to realize the book. That's what we're doing on a bit more. Because neil serve explored things that it couldn't the book on a particular between april and croly. There's a thirty minute section at the beginning of exit. Three which is probably the most ambitious part of the whole series. Which is the tool where we travel in time through as film curly discovering each other. We go from you know. Noah's ark in the garden of eden through to roman authority in britain and the globe french revolution. So we end up in a church and a nazi london. Second world war. And then in soho in sixties debit whereas michael pretty much one way dividend looks wakes michael michael pretty much. The lovely thing you get you get such a sense of who they are following their relationship overtime and realizing how they become friends and then how that friendship becomes starts to define who they are and what they do. When i'm muchly like each other. I mean the the heart. The treasurer at the heart of a is david michaels performances. They they've given us something extra that we couldn't even you know like she didn't attendant. You say all right. We'll be okay. But but they've ended up like if some sort of crazy combination of thelma louise butch and sundance all together. Just as the old trump off cliffs you know really kind of like there are things that you can make happen in filmmaking And then there are things that just happened. And you are grateful and the chemistry of michael and david is. I mean we make happen. We didn't know if it was going to happen. They found the voices somewhere in the read through that we did it you know. They weren't quite sure they hadn't found and then suddenly it's like. Oh everybody rooms that this is gonna. This just became a thing. The first minutes bit nervous and so i think i think the other the other. The the biggest richer doesn't even appear onscreen voice of god francis's presence is just remarkable for as you would hope it would be unchain she. She's to start with commentating ans constructing story telling us things and it's just lovely sweeping thing so you know where's the book. There is the voice of the writers plus so on and so on. I probably is really useful thing well. Gabriel isn't even mentioned. He's mentioned in the boat but he doesn't go on as a character. Terry patchett night. Talk over the years about how we saw heaven and how we saw a hell in the universe and one thing that we were set of with the angels. Were every bit as appalling. The biman's they were just a lot better address. And i'm convinced nece there's more on good omens so stay to this is jamie banbury. Hey this is katie sack off tomo. I play hilo on the hit television series battle star galactica. And you're listening to science. I talk back on sci-fi talk as to actors were turned loose and their chemistry comes through investors david tennant and michael sheen while have known each other since the dawn of time the bulletin angel wants team they will start at his angels one one of them fail or saunter vaguely downward i. Yeah and they so they both being sent by the respective head offices to work in the same field and overtime they Have come to an agreement and then the agreement is turned to sort of friendship and that friendship. Maybe it's turned to something even more deep but that they can't really talk about i guess and then and they've fallen in love with being on earth and and what it is to be human. I think the fact that they neither of them has allowed them to kind of enjoy. What's being human means. And they sort of not the edges off each other and they've become more like each other as well and now they don't want it to end and there's this terrible plan.

Yeah yeah he's nick williams. He's just the coolest man i've ever had at the helm because he knew every nuance in every nook and cranny of the story and Most of us at some time or other most we're confused because A lot of it was done. Cgi short and so For example we'd be running through this Tickets for these things and he would say okay. These creatures are going to be attacking. And then he would start acting like creature that's complete with and so they can create the whole ambience of the thing and it was pretty easy to get into but but because it wasn't visually in front of us sometimes difficulty with describe what it was gonna be and Yeah without him It would have been much much stranger experience but We're well looking at the dvd and watching some of the behind the it seems like he was always keeping the mood. Very light on the set always joking around the kid. He's a kid. We loved him to pieces. Yeah and a great cast around you to working with you know that you know and With with weird. I knew of zoe.

I sat in a chair for several hours while they saved off my big beautiful mane and i wound bleached my hair my hair just growing back right now. It's only about an inch long all over i. I cut it off after we finished because 'cause nobody would talk to me with the mohawk but I brought it back out for for hopefully first season two so So i'm yeah. I'm gonna be doing it again. You'll see you'll see. I'm i'll be sitting in the chair. Will they shave off all my hair. And they're going to bleach it. We're gonna die green again. Well i stand corrected. It looked pretty real. So i had to ask. I had to ask. i have to compliment. Also on the show. The the level of support actors that you have in guest stars obviously benedict. Wong is phenomenal. thank you know. it's great. Yeah and then Christopher hired all who is a man of many faces playing your fight. Instructor is awesome and eric gareth formerly from From eureka is on there as well and and ryan robbins is an oak is an old nemesis of yours so they just keep on coming but i think the one that took me totally by surprise was seeing french stewart in a wheelchair. That was pretty amazing. Toe yeah yeah. I mean the. I don't even know how they've been able to do this. Because i've been. I've got this whole Hogan's book full of Things to go on to create character and the part of and all of these characters were basically created for the show You know you already rawlins's the poisonous teacher as well. You know we. Yeah kind of. I think they all kind of with the same thing. I think i was talking about earlier. Is the energy of deadly class. Just leads you your imagination to go. You know you you could be inspired and And so pay all such amazing work in last week's episode with french stewart. You know keys of a man and there's gonna be one that's going to be some outtakes of all the crazy things that he came up with on the spot by himself.

"That came out when i was probably thirteen or fourteen right in the target. I i've seen the faculty probably twenty times and then started to discover other things and sauce in city in theaters and and knew just knew that a lot of actors don't really get the opportunity to work with robert because he's so specific and in choosy and doesn't really follow trans necessarily or just cast people that the rest of Hollywood thinks his odd right now or whatever it is so it felt like a very Sort of elite group to be able to be a part of so just to jump at that opportunity. I think we all just said yeah. We were excited you know. And and he's discovered so many talents for instance france in my case Coming from mexico on this being my first role in america and my first english speaking role was there is a no brainer. I mean for us. Robert rodriguez and whoa. Why would obviously latin american means so much. He is the only director who has crossover. If i'm maybe you can correct me but a mexican actress to this summer. And so that is huge. Like we can't really name a bunch of other actresses mexican actresses that are working here so for me to be like the next one was like jesus christ you know what i mean like. I remember being being young. And i have an older brother and watching from desktop don and he is obsessed over sama and watching desperado. Once you once upon a time in mexico and all these movies obviously he's such an icon and so when this opportunity was presented to me i was just so humbled in so blessed and that was more of what i stepped in to set a mike on troublemakers literally. That's what came into my mind. I was like i can't. Oh that danny for danny. This is robert rodriguez. Oh look jessica over. Doesn't like this is amazing. Like it's just such an. It's such you walk into troublemakers. You walk into the studio and the energy different. It's just so cool. It's like stepping into their brain. You know what. I mean even if you walk into robert's houses like walking into his brain it's like a castle and he has for setta's all over the place and he's just brilliant amazing creative person so having that as a leader of a show and really being over because he's not like just like he's new no there's a lot of directors that are doing stuff and they're like oh we'll do this show and then like case out and roberts like there we would be. I remember shooting at like two in the morning and he had everything like even though he was in his episode he had all the cameras on his phone and he was text me like that was a good scene. And you're like asia you like. He was just overseeing everything in that makes you feel super save you. We've really go trump and do whatever it takes in whatever asked us because you feel like there's something supporting you underneath so it's amazing an amazing energy for sure. There's more sifi talk so stay tuned back on scifi toilet. I'm tony tomato. They trust robert rodriguez to make them. Look good on screen I think roberts you know you're gonna look ten. I mean you know. When i was in my opinion in my circumstance when i was going to do the snake dance right. I was so nervous. Because i remember seeing that snake dance like. Oh god here. I go here i go and i was off. I trust me. I didn't look like i look on that and how it looks on camera. I was like not like that at all but the way he shoots you. There's no way to go wrong with robert rodriguez. He's gonna make you look at us all the time and what i think also for in my in my case as an actress we don't get so many opportunities to do bad as characters as lead females and it's such a power driven show and it gives the same way to every character not just the guys but also the girls like the to lead females very strong. It's a young girl who's like a christian very very innocent. And then there's donny dark and it's like night and day and also like they're not victims. They are strong independent women from the Fuller family. She's the one going further like it's just really inspiring so it's been awesome in. We're blessed to be opening our our careers here with him. Was latino mark grandmothers. My grandfather's name was being so apartment. Was really cool for getting latino agnes especially on this series that are doing something other than just tell were exposing a whole bunch of papers were the biggest minority adler. Yeah i mean there's few directors that do that and robert has been loyal to that movement since he started and even though he's one of the biggest directors in the world. He's still an independent filmmaker. He loves what he does he does whatever has got tells them to do. He doesn't follow the rules of hollywood like he said he doesn't do. The oldest is hard like he doesn't care he likes He'll do you know like he does his own world and that is that gives them respect itself you know him and his poku people like was like his friends the directors. He works with People that he surrounds himself with that energy. No quinton franklin frank miller like all these people are just these crazy amazing creative people and so that energy is just brilliant and bringing us into that world is a blessing as a latino and the series is still available as they talked about a few years ago and its international to. Yeah my My family is in canada and so like is saying. We're a netflix. original series. Every so as soon as we are on within twenty four hours the episode is kind of available immediately worldwide. So that's been kind of great for us to kind of have that sort of global visibility and for you know. Sometimes i feel like like you said people don't even know if they have a or not but everybody knows whether or not bad metrics so gonna get give that access to the show. We get that sort of feedback. It's interesting because on. Tv shows you can work and it airs in the states and then maybe a year later they get overseas but we we have it all the way around. People got caught up on the show with. Maybe they missed it During the first season on all on our and they found it they're like oh mandy. Get it now so you know it's it's pretty awesome that we're not just behind worldwide. We're just here and it's very important also for us to launch. Because it's a network that is going to open the doors to to so many directors and that's the that's the reason why we're not at the same time on efforts know array has so much potential and we want people to go to all right if you will need to find it amazing and it's growing from the first season two second. It's it's much huge and you know they have so many cool shows you know. He has the director's chair who anyone in this world. She watch you know watching director to director. Speak to them to each other and ask those amazing questions and he has. Everyone like everyone wants to go to rob or because he's such a cool guy so he has these shows he has run here so many cool stuff and this is going to grow and what i really wanna talk about is that he brings new directors not just new cast. He is opening even though he could bring anyone to direct. He just wants to launch more people. He could be greedy and do the whole season himself if he wanted. But he really the point of arrays that launched new network launch a new world new new commodity of directors cast people good continent. You know what i mean..

Rami like part of the reason why avatars fell out of fashion. Why ship stop producing. Avatars was because they developed a certain amount and stop and then separate from the ship. And and i'd like to see that happen with a little bit because it's it's interesting to have her experiences. Be different from those. The ship shore shore yet and not giving anything web and asking people about the The sees now and I heard it's pretty action-packed. All i have to say is allan eastman rock. He shot what what could very easily have been a thirteen day. Episode like what could very easily have been a full thirteen days shooting Ten ten eleven twelve thirteen either way up into the double digits. He shot it and send date. And you have to understand that for the last episode of season when everybody's pretty much already already on vacation gonna you know. They're like most episode. He motivated everyone. He kept the set going. He got so much done so many special effects there are lots of things going up. Notching things dying but there's just a lot of action and it's it's a it's a pretty wild right and it was a lot of work for my character. I don't wanna spoil anything but from my character. Because i had a lot of extra characters to play. I had two extra characters to play really. That's yeah so it was it was It was a lot of work. It was a lot of work for everyone. A lot of physical works for everyone. i know. there's stunt coordinator definitely earned his paycheck. that and It was And i could beat up a few people. That was very cool. You don't get to do that often so it was very finds. Yeah robin gets involved in the action. But that's great. That's tremendous body camera talking about thirteen chairs body.

What are you going to do is just the way it is but you know. Thank you for taking the time out to talk to me. And pleasure and really the best of luck on his show You know i'm I'm on a few. I go onto a couple of the bulletin boards. there's a great side called slipstream dot com and down there.

Yeah parents and i'm like oh. Isn't that funny i know isn't that wild. I think that's running around second season on. Actually when the show actually has a few years under its belt you'll actually see the kids grow up as the show goes his on the air. You know. yeah yeah that would be cool like when you finish your last episode and you know the kids are like seven or eight years old or something. that'd be really wild. It's like oh.

"Travel. How did that work out for you. Well you know the The i did very well for them and And i think it's you know it's it's been a nice compliment. I think to myself now my perspective. But i can. There's been a good complement to their programming mayor. Because it it really is a show that touches as you said on on a number of different things. It is very much about travel. It's also really immersive. It's not Kind of utility travel. It's really about having a real adventure a real experience And it has a good mix. I think of humor of excitement. And so i think that the show in that sense has been Has been well received. And we've we've really lovely back rebounded from sam's which is nice as well. It's so We're thrilled to find out that they Ordered the show again. You know we did thirteen episodes in our first season. Twenty second sees so much more ambitious late. And i think more ambitious episodes to were really digging deep going further this year. So we're we're really just trying to raise the bar and to keep that adventure gone. There's more sci fi talk so stay tuned back on fi talk. I'm tony tiller. The world has changed with the internet and everything and there are a lot of goodies on the expedition unknown website that you might not see on television so people are really check those out as well billion so yeah for sure. I mean that that. That's one of the really cool things Especially for a show like that that we still so much of the expedition and we just don't get a chance to all of it in the show and so this year we're going to be doing. Some exclusive photos online congess travel. Pets showing viewers additional content. Some places that we go to You know taking them a little bit further into the places we go and in fact we're also going to be having to get us episodes that will air which include dangerous moment bloopers Totally cut scenes things that were really cool that we just couldn't sit him and start so we're going to be able to both through the website of travel channel dot com an on air really expand these adventures for viewers and show them even more one of the things you did on destination was you did a lot of things. Technology like with the like with the cameras mountain in front of you and the go pros. Are you guys exploring something along those lines to carry something smaller that you can take places. Maybe some of the bigger rigs couldn't go for sure. I'm i'm thrilled. That i'm no longer have to wear that stupid. That look back at me. Of course a great benefit. Which was that it just always. You always had a camera right here at night. The capture your expression reaction but but for sure the the the technology has just gone leaps and bounds. We're using drones more now than we never used them industrial truth of beautiful drums footage from arledge asians which often just is able to give us a whole new perspective on site. And were you. Squeezing in tight caves. Going underwater and so go pros solar format. Hd cameras and stuff has totally changed the game terms of what we're able to show. I mean we can rig five hammers a motorcycle and drive down the road nelson stuff that ten years ago. you know. it's just like if possible or out of the extensive we can now really i green as you are with us in ways that we never could before if i just literally you know tacking those kind of cameras wherever we go. It's really amazing. How technology has changed this when you were doing destination truth to now. It's like every every minute to be. You know it's really amazing. One of the things that we really never have On on shows like this are steadying operators because in order to have a camera that requires so should be heavy rigs difficult now these very small hand and giro Stabilisers for some park cameras and were able to get a lot of that balance and you know. Look the steady cam. Something that fits into the size of risks. Incredible that is incredible. That's fantastic another episode. That i'm looking forward to is. You're actually looking to see. Vampires really exists somehow. So that's a challenge. This is a this is a cool story because we knew we were going to be right around halloween for that time of year and and this is like one of those stories where you know you you kind of You know that sort of logical part of you says locator unoccupied up there but the fact of the matter is there are parts of the world where you his legend in his mid holds hugh sway and there are all these very strange reports of people doing ghastly rituals and ceremonies so ward off what they perceive coming very real. The question for us is we're didn't stories come from and what are they faced. Yeah absolutely that. That's going to be a fascinating episode. And as you said right in time for really gonna be fun and spooky so any have you had her ernie ending inklings for possibly a season three hours it to kind of wait and see kind of thing i think for us. We've got twenty of these delivering the second season. So we're we're really enthusiastic about show. Travels been an partner in the process without some in these expeditions to the air. I think right now. We're just totally focused. In our are getting these episodes to aaron and and you know focus toward our premiere on october seventh. And and hopefully you know folks like what they see and And the internet and that'll that'll take the road ahead. Absolutely his there is. They're still after all the things you've investigated. Is there something. That is kind of your holy grail. You haven't reached you. No i think for me. It's less about individual things and more out. This just have a real hunger real interest in in stories and storytelling. And so for me i you know i. I love doing erhard. The first season erhardt was a real personal hero of mine so fat from us. A huge stupid. I just as wrapped up in investigating for gingas kahn or looking for lost cities. Things like that. I think for me. The the domitian really's is about telling him versus story and bringing you. Were with me and so excited doing that. I'll josh. Thanks so much for your time and really looking forward to the premiere on october seventh especially kicking it off with king arthur. That's gonna be alive front. It really isn't tony. Thank you for the time and And i appreciate it and enjoy show. Thank you very much touch. all right. you take care now. Take look for expedition unknown on the travel channel. It starts october seven. Check your local listings. This is tony tomato and thanks for listening to sci-fi looker. Sifi talk enjoy shelves..

"A lot of energy. Everything's hand-held running. Shoot over here yet. An interesting first season we saw that he kind of pushed the limits of everything. He does and even kind of compromise. His morals a little bit too and here is season. Two with kevin. Bacon on ryan hardy. Great we were here last year for you. Also thanks for shown up well after two after what ryan went through you kidding well you know. I don't think it's like a practical joke right i we get along. Great It's not set. Certainly not went on there where people are yelling and screaming and test off. I mean me occasionally but but nobody else Crew is incredible works very very hard and we were really quickly. I've never worked on. Anything works as quickly as it partly because of our director photography partly because of the nature of the cameras now not to get too technical and and and the way that we shoot it the whole thing handheld pretty much so for anywhere between fourteen to sometimes eighteen hours. The boys are holding these cameras on their shoulders. And we have the fluidity to kind of run and gun shoot. Grab things and and so. There's a real. There is an intensity to just because of the just just the energy certainly. I'm not one of those people that can go Listen You kill somebody or of stabbed you or or you know you. You're you're chasing about the died and turn off and hey whatever you know i can. I can do that to a certain extent. But i can't. I can't do it all the time. Sort of in that head space but That being said in our own way we do have a good time when the lights came on the on the on the room. Today i looked. And there's you know. Marcus got like fifteen seats. And there's people from the crew that on the day off on their long weekends we're off tomorrow actually came down to comecon to see like why i do that right because they dig it. They they they like. They like doing what they do. There is no job security here. You know Talk about if you wanted to. If you gotta show this got a lot of surprises. Kill me next year. And they not known see that yes sober. Teaching heart is doing better He's trying to move on move past. The death of clare trying to open himself up to family is involved with this His niece who is His brother is dead. was a fireman and his niece as a new york city cop and they have a are starting to kindle relationship which is kind of cool and interesting. Connie is someone that Is involved in the subway attack early on and i you know. Stick my nose in there again. Even though i'm not fbi. And i you know and they actually called me in to help with a little bit tilting. And i need her and i'm just like whoa okay And she is Dot dynamic Beautiful obviously and And you know in a in a way so different than me and and is that thing of being attracted to someone. That is really really different. She's speaks all these languages and she likes art. And you know all these things ryan said to him. I mean but that was funny kind of way similar to my relationship. Joe what about I mean i think another catalyst for him was the debt of agent parker. Absolutely i mean what how. How does that carry over into season. Two well i think that you know. Look here's the thing. Is that even before season. One began this guy and kevin williamson one. Line that to me early on maybe our first meeting he said this is a man whose life has been surrounded by death and i was like off to the races in terms of backstory. For stuff that you don't even see you know and and but eventually some of it made it into the into the season. There's more fi taught so stay. Tuned back on sci fi talk. I'm tony to letter. He believes that when people get close to him they die or they get hurt and so he's constantly constantly there and agent parkers a great example of that. You know on a personal note It's the nature of the beast. But it is. It's hard when people that you like and you work with your fond of and you're like their work happens all the time in show. It's well he's not a conventional hero for sure and And i think that we'll see you know. I mean the beginning of the season. He's definitely a lighter place. And and i can't imagine that it's going to stay there very long but i mean he pushed he really pushed it. I mean he did things that were very questionable. Because of the circumstances he went to a dark place. Yeah that's not going to change them. We go there again. Yeah so it's it's great. I mean i i you know. Show us fantastic actor and His character had a tremendous serve journey. Last year went from bright eyed bushy tailed. And you know sort of raw raw went down the rabbit hole and when you when you meet him this year i would say he's a little bit more in the place where ryan was last year. He's not but he's but he is certainly not doing great and And so like any other relationship. We get back together or see him again. Do we joined forces the we separate the all of these things will be kind of working out during the during the season. It's it's been great. You know i mean. I think that I i came to tell them at such amazing time for television. And i'm happy to be part of it. You know I still love movies. Just don't want wanna make movies and and the fifteen episodes seasons allows me to do that. I can i can get something else in but i'm such a consumer television now. And and i'm so happy to have the gate book i mean it's it's it's great and it's like i said you know the one of the best parts of sex just i'd love to act and just get to act so much. Just watch the just binge-watch broad church I like Or from black dot suitable luther Oh gosh you know. I mean all the killing you know. I'm sad that that's not coming back. You know everything. I mentioned that murdering later. Well let me just say that it is there. Is this kind of family theme. That's that's something that comes part of just kind of keep that in mind. What was it like to do. The phone calls with With joe that you know he would law you as good. Those are good some really good. It's good look part of the one of the great great parts about doing this thing was the opportunity to be working with james and just by nature of having split up. It's not too many times we were able to be together. There was one great scene in the middle of the year war paths crossed. Didn't get him you know. Hopefully we're gonna have a little bit more of that but the phone calls were great. I mean that's gotta.

"To do it and you know there's a lot of homework to be done there in terms of calling your camera angles. I know i could work with all the actors and get the performances. I want but to really sit down and plan out my you know cam when i go to the over the shoulder here then. We're gonna do this raking the really sit down and do that requires a lot of work that It hasn't really challenged to do it yet from my own heart. So that's the one thing i haven't done and i don't know if i ever will but otherwise. I had a lot of opportunities to do the other things appreciate that. Allow these favorite volume flavors. Along pulling my least favorite space episode would be the great vegetable rebellion Which i think on one hand is on one hand. You almost have to call it your favorite. Because it's it's probably the best example of the worst television show ever made so it's classic in that in its awfulness and my favorite i. There's a handful of those you know. I like a lot of the first ones. Maybe returned to earth where we'll went back to earth because he really did go back to earth which is kind of cool and he really did get something that saved them all from you know doom so it was a big episode and getting back to earth was when you think about it that act so that was probably my favorite waste junkyard space. No not not at all on my top ten or top twenty now you mentioned Space cases How did that project about working. With peter david to peter david and i have worked together on several different formats in the past. We've written comic books together. And we've written short stories together. And i respect peter very much. i was taking a meeting nickelodeon to pitch a comic book. That mcgill for. And i've created called trip to the acid dog Nickelodeon and in their wisdom. They decided that wasn't exactly the right project for nickelodeon but they did say that they felt they would be very receptive to a kids in space project from me which was all they said so i. I left that meeting going okay. I can do that. I was writing the lost in space. Comic book at the time and i was hosting a series for the sci-fi channel called inside space. So i was kind of this was before babylon five and anyway my my creative juices were in space at the moment so i started working on the the idea for spaces kids in space. Whatever and i called peter right away. Because he's very prolific. And he's very funny and i like working with him a lot. He's a great guy and we just developed a you know together and went back to them and they started putting money on the table and three years later. We're on the air and we wrote the first thirteen outlined the to to the other so we wanted a quick follow up. What was it like to work with. Mark hamill on the show we'll market. I've been very good friends for at least ten years and we've wanted to work together for a long time and having the opportunity to write apart for the two of us and you know he couldn't get out of it. What you say you want to do this you know here. Here's some money. Come do it so we had a good time. Both mark and i are big beatles. Fans so i just kind of wrote these liverpudlian aliens jin pal sit down and be air traffic consoles. It was all right at the time and mark had a good time to fair to your favorite science fiction movies of all time followed by david science fiction. Do it's hard I think my favorite science fiction movie is the day. The earth stood still My favorite science fiction book martian. Chronicles may be must have one more question. I started in writing. Well i started I started writing songs when i was ten. You don't wanna hear those though But i started writing songs. When i was a kid. And we all take creative writing classes or you know english classes where you write short stories. I always enjoyed that. So i started writing. Everybody starts riding in your ass to right. And you're right I was doing a television series in the mid seventies universal for. Nbc called sunshine very short-lived show thirteen episodes. But we did like three movies of the week to And george eckstein. The producer of that show was very receptive to Energy from the cast. And so i ended up writing episode. One of those thirteen was my first opportunity to write for television and he was very nice. Let me do that. And i kept wanting to just kind of here. We are today for what it's worth. Ted you had one have. I been to the desert on a horse with. Yes i have countless times with the you know do even al jerry back leon stage together taking many solo in that song and i love working with jerry and do either. They're wonderful musicians. Great singers really nice people. I've i think i've been eighteen songs on their last five or six albums produced a couple played on all their records toward quite extensively with them. What about bill album possibility generators might which which is pretty much outlet for my serious. Songwriting did an album in ninety four. We're in the studio now working on the second one whenever we get time to get in there together. It's pretty hard I hope we'll get a chance to finish that this year and find the right label to put it out. You know. I can't go to and i'm not saying that if i could they would they would buy it but i i'm not in a position to go to geffen or electric or some major label now and say here's my band. Put a couple of hundred thousand dollars behind it and we'll go get in the bus and open for the rem's for the next six months. Because i can't you know. I'm i'm doing a television series. Miguel ferrer is doing. A million projects kerry stockdale who was the bass player's scoring a bunch of shows so as much as music is on one. Hand the most important thing to me besides the welfare of my family Become something that has to take a back seat to other projects. I play all the time. The band plays locally in l. a. All the time. And i write and record quite often so also to tell you the truth. I'm forty two years old now. And when i was out on the road with shaun cassidy i was twenty five. When i was out with america i was in my thirties. I don't have the same desire to get on a bus and go from city to city and you know be up all night long partying and all i mean you know. My recuperative powers are not what they used to be. So i'd like to know not like i'm not i don't have them in bari system yet on. I would love to play more often. I would love to make more records. But i'm grateful for the opportunities that present themselves thanks to blaine atkins and the folks at icon. Don't forget to catch babylon five on dvd. and also. You can catch it on the scifi until next time. This is tony. I disappear jurisic from babylon by by played london malaria. And you're listening to side by talk..
