"That is my interpretation of franks wild years. But tom waits know what it is. I'm still trying to figure out. What the hell. Sorry hugging my microphone. Trying to figure out the bug you're talking about. I've been opping. I've been upping. Tom waits recently. So naturally. you know i've had. I've had quite a few tracks. Just like laying on repeat and A lot of it is coming from. Franks wild years so i was naturally telling ash i was like hey i think i need to pick up this album. And you know she's not She's not really into. Tom waits so she was. Just do what you want. Essentially how can you not owned. Tom waits i mean you have to admit tom. Waits as an acquired taste. Even my wife who. I would doubts. The last person i would expect to possibly be into tom waits. I mean what was one of my favorite songs being cemetery polka. I mean i don't like that's the thing like i am more drawn to the original stuff. He does stuff like earth died screaming or you know like Like you know. Take it with me when i go. Yeah you know or or even even the more like experimental track like what's his. What's he bill that in love that i love that fucking track and in fact actually i have to admit when i first started the show when it was just me by my lonesome. I told myself if i can get one person to equate this show to the podcast equivalent of. What's he building in there. At that point. I could probably just go ahead and fucking close up shop. Just give up podcasting together. Because i didn't think that there was much more. I could do after getting to that point. I still haven't gotten to that point. You know whatever well after the sad state of affairs that happened on our last recording session naturally. I decided that i was going to Bury myself in video games for the past few weeks after our unfortunate event that happened in the last episode. So you know. Because i can't just you know magically fix it and make kevin smith not changes phone number and make joe rogan not blocked me from all points of communication basically. I just decided to bury myself in video games. And i got to thinking about those video games and a lot of the video games that i've been playing have been pretty difficult inducing. That's what i used to call them. Yeah yeah exactly So naturally got me thinking and we've never really covered a type of video game before we've covered specific video games true. I mean simon. Max and likes we have talked about The future of video games or the current state of video games is promising. I mean more promising than probably was when we covered it to begin with but we never have sat down and really discussed a type of video game that you experience so i felt like it made sense for us to discuss that ad nauseam. Don't we usually discuss things. At of course absolutely i mean i know after the fact. I'm usually nauseous. But all i'm saying is these difficult. Video games have led me down a rabbit hole and that rabbit hole has led me to watching video essays reading articles studying psychology. Things like that so naturally it just makes sense to take.

"As you said. There were so many explorers during that time. Robert scott who died trying to reach the poll. Roald amundsen a norwegian explorer. Who was actually the first to reach the south pole. But shackleton really stands out. Why do you think that is. Why do you think shackleton's endurance mission still captivates the public. Think he's really survival against impossible. Logs this is such an extraordinary story. It keeps getting worse. it's on steroids. This is storage just keeps getting worse and worse and he just meet each challenge face on with his and takes his men with him as well. It's not like he's gonna wrote. He takes everyone with him and they survive. And i think that optimism the hope the self belief without being arrogant with it buzzword deals even really resonate today particularly in a act shopping arguably We need a more edna so the south pole had been reached. What was shackleton's inspiration ago. Back yeah well made gossip. He he got tantalizingly close. I mean here. we are in. The number expedition was ninety seven miles short of his goal and then he came out to ninety nine and just a few years later. Amundsen and scott of bay within the monthly cover so with amundsen scott getting to south pole but christian was what was down there as a big challenge was to try to cross our space and that was shackleton's enjoys expedition in a nutshell to cross one into the other and actually find out what's out there and so one of the big challenges who's actually getting down and actually reported back to the world. What lay down there. And that was what shackleton's dream was touchy achieved. Could he come back. And that she reveal an what was effectively an entirely new ponte to upon it. I mean that's that's amazing. This just over a century go and the whole content was being discovered. Wow that's off just incredible. It is remarkable. I'm curious what were they facing out there each day from sun up to sundown. Oh gosh way do you start. I mean he's a stacey the had to face isn't it. I mean if if something can go wrong it will go. And it's it's almost something that you actually just expect tough wall and you just you just you go with it. You have to go with it. You can't be too rigid. I mean this is something where everything seemed to go wrong. They hated into the weather's here about them to atlantic insurance. They knew a lot of c. Is way lives in south georgia and griffin and it just went from bad to worse and there was a big storm. Swept into the sea is and then they. They were trapped and no matter what we tried to do. They just couldn't get out. And i we were surviving on the ship. It would freeze over not force but they were. They were trapped in the is and then they had the jewish sank. And oh you read shackleton's diving. Just as i come icon to back to the whole thing of his hopes. His dreams is future. The chances that people die will all bound up in that boat and there it is just disappearing into into the deeps i mean. That's just you just feel for the man and you think oh my gosh. At that moment he just tends to the man recognizes thinking and it just says well now we just get out of here we just we just we just go home. It's just i. I know the diary say by going home. It's that whole sense of being proactive in wanting to do something about it but of course it was mumps. A mumps retracted. Their i mean you've got the ever-shifting see is cracks in there. Were several times where it looked like the count was about to get crushed to shackleton had all the supplies on the boats in case get out they have to move but he knows the die happens because nowhere near to be able to get everyone away safely. So you've got this constant risk of wildlife and go see leopards which we we looked at and of course you go let politically correct of the killer. Whales orcas prowling around looking from confusing of penguins. You know an anna nicole. Cba side is actually. He's got to manage the man and the soviet. We'll talk a lot more about the whole sense of keeping him optimistic policy and actually. It's sometimes not even catching enough. Wildlife is food. Because i share act of just doing lay down lots of supplies implies. You can be very long time. He's giving up and so on juggle as well. They bought old-style to death but in the short term if they lose hope you're gonna die anyway so oh the nine thus aged terribly what he went through was just extraordinary the bed well i know from his journal. He was always worried about the men's spirits What do you think what do you think the biggest struggle was for them. Was it you all the all those ailments or was that you know that mental toughness that they all had to kind of try and work through. I think that mental aspect of it mental health issue is probably the biggest challenge of it or just about always incredible challenge of cr so wildlife weather conditions. Burr virtual dating with human beings in this remote isolated environment. Who are fundamentally scared. Witless and then how you manage. That's extremely if we've all been in situations where you that social environment and someone's it a bad play of work in quite ride people start chatting away. Maybe a worst case interpretations made sunday. You start getting splits within the group. I mean that's at work business hub or whatever now now now amplify that and some in antarctica. And you've got the challenge that if this group breaks apart they're all gonna dive is only limited resources. You can't stop fighting over things. The has to be a single point. You kinda you kinda a committee. You have someone who's make decisions of people fundamentally trusting in lots everyone happy and he can't afford collapsed stopped fighting arguing or whatever but i think that dr entries is a way of homeless grinding. It dating with the fact that he's got to keep focus on that above everything else. So is there anything that stands out to you about any of the entries. Incredible thing was actually made kept diaries where they actually. It was actually part of shackleton strategy of keeping a busy but also he wanted it to buy the book and here mazing thing is when you look at these diaries. And you see them. But the overriding impression. You get beyond all the extraordinary off of injured was facing to genuinely happy credible could die. Any bible now seem happy. This say there's one we'll see where one of the expedition doctors maqlid. He's on the sledging trip of one of the sailors called cheetah and that this is when he enjoys his trapped in the in.

We've always might have all this power couldn't come in with i'm joining. The this is amazing. We're here dr ball but that's okay. I mean wow yeah that that is incredible.

"Beach. This is South Florida Sunday, and we'd like to welcome our next guest, Dr. Barry Peskin. Doctor Peskin is an O. B g. Y n on staff at West Boca Medical Center. He's the medical director of the new Labour wrist program at the Boko Center for Women's Care at the hospital. Dr Peskin. Welcome to South Florida Sunday. Thank you for having me Well, it's good to have you with us. Let's begin by explaining what exactly is a Labour ist programme. So Labour's program. It's not a new concept is being used throughout the country, but basically what it is. It's a hospitalist programs so we full time. Uh, physician to focus on in the hospital 24 hours a day, But in this case we cover offset trickle patients. And we also will cover gynecological emergencies and emergency room so most people know whether hospitalists does and it's usually going to be the internal medicine or surgery. But in this case specifically for women self and we're on the floor in labor and delivery, Frank Wild today. Okay, Well, um what are some of the benefits of a laborer program? So then many many benefits. Probably the most important benefits is that because we on the floor 24 hours a day were available in case of an emergency. In labor and delivery in obstetrics. Um, emergencies definitely occur, and when they occur, you need somebody available immediately. Um, and being available immediately has many benefits in terms of See the mother, of course. But most importantly, we know that laborers is certainly a decreased risk of any major your year, a developmental injury. Meaning, um Because most of these emergency we're going to involve eating to deliver the baby immediately. If we deliver the baby immediately will increase. I think there's about a 50% reduction in the NHL death. 17% reduction in your development or injury, we decrease the risk of stillbirth. Um, so we therefore in cute emergency, and they found it on the floor 24 hours a day, and that's my major. Advantage, but were there for other reasons we are available for the general practice is that the line the private overdue want if they cannot get there for delivery? Could they stuck in the office? Who will be the deliveries or To see the patients before delivery or what's called triage. Patients evaluate the patient. Um if the private position is in the office or or if they just asked Because they're busy. They can't come in to see the patient. Um, we provide education to the nurses Resident program usually provide education residents and mentorship. And then another big benefit is that we are there for patients who are uninsured. What are called unassigned patients for patients who arrive in either the emergency room all over and delivery. He didn't care. Um but do not have an O b g y n or do not have insurance or do not have an overview in that spoke of And so we are available to take care of all these patients. So when you say we're on, we're on the floor. 24 7, you're saying that there's an O B at least 10 B g Y n available at all times. Correct. Correct. There's going. There are three full time labour in this program and we are there 20. There's always somebody one of us one of the qualified Board certified over the wine on the floor 24 hours a day. We also assist with Caesarean sections. We cover the midwife. So they are midwives who deliver and they need Assistance in terms of delivery. They have requirements or restrictions in terms of what's called an operative delivery of vacuum for vacuum delivery or necessary of forces delivery. They are. They aren't able to do that. So we are available for the midwives if they need assistance. So I can imagine if there are complications. This is invaluable, but even on a simpler level for a woman who is in the throes of childbirth, that sometimes that weight For the O B g Y n to show up sometimes can be like forever. Absolutely, absolutely. And I think there's a comfort level to both the patients knowing that there is somebody available they need to deliver. But it's also a comfort level to the private obstetrician who knows that if Something happens in the urgently, even though they may generally will come in immediately, But I think there's a comfort level to the obstetrician you knowing that there's somebody there to take care of their patients or to evaluate their patients. Um, if needed. And this neighbors program is well what we've established. It's a Private obstetrician goes out of town. Um, and they buy them, especially the summer practitioners. We are available to take care of their patients that come to the hospital so This allows the solo especially the fellow practitioners to go on the cation, or, you know Family wants etcetera, knowing that for a period of time, whether it's a few days or a week, we can then take care of any of their private patients that arrived in the hospital. Um for, uh, woman who has been seeing her regular o b g y n for prenatal Have you seen? Have you noticed any hesitancy on their part? Normally, it would be natural if you've been seeing a particular O b g Y n Um, even at a particular office where there's more than one. You kind of want that particular doctor, So there's two. There's two parts of that up to that question. One is In every case of an emergency. Most patients of mine who's they? They want a happy, healthy babies. So the one point is, they don't mind. They don't eat. They really don't care who's their acute emergency. The second part of this is that Need private, the private Oh, Did you wines have educated patients that there's always somebody there in case of an emergency, So they know we're there. And also if they go out of town, they have educated the own patients to say they're going out of town. But there's a board certified. Qualified obstetrician. To take care of them if they end up in labor Hospital. Excellent. Well, thanks for clearing that up. Tell me more about the Boca Center for Women's care at West Boca Medical Center. Tell me about some of the offerings that you have there. So the hospital has other than the opposite obstetrics. The other big advantage at the hospital has and I think it's the only one in the local area. It has a level three. Nick you and intensive care so able to take care of the smallest of the baby's, uh, somebody delivers prematurely or needs to deliver prematurely. Um, they patients have Comfort knowing that they have the highest level of intensive care for their babies..

"It's january. Eighteenth two thousand nine just afternoon. It's the final leg of the trip for henry and his teammates just five miles to reach the south pole. He's excited but there's a sadness beneath at two. It means soon. They'll be headed back to the noise and hassles of the real world. The first dose of reality comes when the silence of nature is broken. It's a ski doo. They're still one mile away but it sets his nerves on edge and then low lying buildings break the pristine expanse of ice and snow. He spent two months in the cold and silent ice listening only to the sound of his breath and now the roar of machines fills the air and the dry air faint smell of fried food and garbage floats across as he gets closer. He sees a stack of discarded. Cardboard boxes scrawled across the tops in permanent marker or the words washing machines all the time. He's been out here. Searching his soul. The rest of the world has been doing laundry. He skis past small line of artificial christmas trees. How odd to see fake nature in real nature beyond a large grey building on concrete pillars rising above the snow service is the amundsen scott. South pole station used for scientific research in the distance. A satellite dish points up into space. Henry stops and waits for adams gal to catch up. Gotta say it's not exactly how i imagined it. Both of them taken their first glimpse of civilization and then a truck appears puttering through the snow. Howdy where have you guys come from. The driver is the first person outside of their expedition that they've spoken to in sixty six days. We've come from cape royds. We set off in november. Henry can hear the pride in his voice Yes the shackleton crew. We've been waiting for you. The poll marker is around that building pop inside. If you want we've got some coffee and biscuits welcome back when the truck drives away. Henry looks at his teammates. They shake their heads. They can't accept the hospitality just yet. They're aiming to achieve one of the longest unassisted polar expeditions in the front of the main building. They find a steel rod with a small brass ball marking the southern access of the earth. They've reached the south pole. It's around this very point that the whole planet spins he places his hand on top hoping to feel something but nothing can compare with what he went through with dylan adams on this beautiful continent. It's four thirty two pm. January eighteenth two thousand nine. The second cruel rive the next day but this is the end of henry's journey. The dream has been fulfilled a dream that began at the age of eleven when he saw photos of the endurance in a book about shackleton followed by the magical discovery he was related to the ship's captain. Frank worsley ever since then. He's longed to follow his hero's footsteps and now that mission is complete he reaches into his pocket and pulls out shackleton's compass the one. He's kept close to his chest since the journey began. It helped him through the darkest days of the track and inspired him to keep going. He opens the lead. And the needle is spinning. It's like the compass knows it's finally made it to the spot. Henry knows one day. He'll come back to this beautiful continent. Antarctica is now deep in his soul just like it was an shackleton's it's august thirtieth nineteen sixteen and frank wild is inside the makeshift hot on elephant island slurping bowl of seal meat stew seated on bunks and the floor around him twenty men who started the endurance expedition just over two years ago. Only two men are not here george marston. The artist and frank hurley. The photographer hurley's out shelling limpets. Marcin went up on the cliffs to make some sketches. It's been four months and six days since shackleton or xlii and the other four crew members left elephant island and left wild in charge. It's hard to keep people's hopes up the longer days. Go on most of the men. Now speak their fears allowed that shirley shackleton never made it. The new plan is to use the boats to make an attempt to sail to a nearby island in october when the weather clears. No one is excited about the prospect their all week and malnourished while does not even sure the strongest of them will make it but if they stay here none of them will live wild turns head at the gust of wind that blows into the hot. It's marcin he's out of breath wild. There's a ship. Shall we light a fire. There's a moment of stunned silence. And then it dawns on everyone at once. Shackleton made it through. Someone is coming for them. The men rush out to see for themselves. Some don't even bother to put on their shoes. When wild gets to the shore he watches. The boat comes closer and closer bobbing across the waves. It's about a mile away. Wild sturdy figures standing on the bow wrapped in the thick coat. It's.

"Henry is asleep in the tent when the sound of a twin otter plane wakes him up it. Sounds like ten helicopters in the silent world. He bolts upright and his sleeping bag will atoms. That's gotta be the ninety seven mile crew. They made it in. He still can't believe he and his crew had made it to the very same spot. Shackleton was a hundred years ago now. They'll be joined by two other. Descendants of the original nimrod crew. Tim freight who is the great great nephew of frank wild and dave cornell the great grandson of jamison atoms along with three others. Henry unzips the tent and meets a wall of frigid air blinking. in the brightness. He watches the small plane circles above them through the small windows. He sees a flurry of hands. Grabbing jackets hats and gloves the author flies down lately running. It's skis down across the surface. They're checking crevasses before landing. He can see dave cornell's face smiling out of a window as the plane passes by a moment later they any drop on the surface. They taxi past the union flag. Were henry staged a photo the day before a photo that exactly matches the one taken of shackleton and his crew a century ago henry thought he would be more excited but he suddenly feels a drop in his mood. It's been just him and his two teammates out here in the silence for fifty six days he and will an adams have gotten to know each other's quirks and habits now there will be a new dynamic at least for a while. Dave is the first out of the door horsley atoms cow. What you've done is amazing. Henry turns on his camcorder to film. Dave running toward his teammates wrapping them in a bear. Hug dave actually joined the project before henry dead and led the fundraising efforts. Then dave grabs henry shoulders so enthusiastically. He almost drops the camera. So many people have been following you. Henry it's unbelievable not unbelievable. I think shackleton was watching over us. Mattie bounds after him last time he saw her was when he and his team were training in norway. He remembers her lecturing them about teamwork. Hey mattie you ready for this maybe will actually beat you to the south pole. Henry's group and the newcomers have agreed to travel separately. So they have a chance to acclimate. Henry and his team have momentum. They don't wanna wait. They'll travel and ships checker boarding across each other. While one team sleeps. The other moves ahead matty laughs. It's not a race henry but since you mentioned it. Are you feeling good about the last stretch. I can't believe we're going to do it without shackleton's spirit urging us on but yes. I'm excited and exhausted. I bet maybe we will give you a rotten as the new team sets up their tents. They chatter nonstop about news. They missed in the past two months. It feels like a world away to henry one. He's not ready to go back to just yet. But there's still ninety seven nautical miles to reach the pole. Who knows what challenges. He still has to face on this vast continent or what else he might learn about himself. Frank wild stands on the rocky outcropping of shore looking out at the ice strewn see it's may second nineteen sixteen shackleton and his small crew had been gone for more than a week but wild can already sense worry on elephant island each night talk turns to all the different ways rescue might come. How many boats. How big the one thing they don't talk about is the very real possibility that shackleton's boat didn't make it through it's as if no one dares to say it out loud keeping hope alive is still key to surviving the long winter days wildness to give the mana task. Something to focus on him. He gathers the crew on the beach. Okay man we're going to need a stable shelter if we're going to survive for the next month anyone have any ideas. Silence wild claps. His hands come on man. The boss chose all of you for a reason. Let's think we need shelter walls and a roof george. Marston is the first to speak up. He's the expedition's artist. What if we use some of the larger rocks on the beach for the foundation. We could build her up about four feet high. Then we could put some the canvas over the top. Another one shouts what if the boats for roof turn them upside down. Suddenly the crew is excited. The men begin to pick up rocks and dragged them up the beach but it's a struggle for everyone. They're weak from hunger. They used to be able to easily handle a twenty pound boulder. Now have to stop every few feet to rest. It takes hours but finally they stack up enough to create the foundation of a hot then. They lift the boats into plates wild proud of them job. Well done men gather up your sleeping bags and let's move in with. The boats turned upside down the seats. Create perfect births for sleeping after dinner. They all fall asleep exhausted a little past midnight. A blizzard blows in waking the matt gusts of ice barrel down from the clips shaking the huts and whipping in with a small cracks wild lays in his bunk wondering if the roof will be knocked clear off the stones when the sun comes up. The hutch is still standing and macklin discovers. Everything is wet and frozen steph. Shoes clothes sleeping bags. The man begin to curse. I hate this damn island. Why do we even bother. It's hopeless no matter what we do. Fate seems determined to stop us. Wild knows how the men feel but showing it now won't do their spirits any good okay. Enough of the belly aches. We'll have a warm breakfast double helpings of heated milk. And then we'll get to work fixing the walls despite the huts shortcomings. Wild feels proud. Sure it has some cracks but it held through the storm you knows wherever shackleton is the conditions are worse just hopes the cared is holding to shackleton camp believe they actually found south georgia island across eight hundred miles of wild ocean and stormy skies with just wars lee skills to guide them. The site of the cliffs has given everyone hope when he speaks. His voice is soft and horse men. We done it as they get. Closer shackleton conc- patches of grass growing on top of the cliff..

"The boat dips below wave completely disappearing sale and all henry wars lee watches his breath freeze in the air. He still can't believe he's standing in the exact same spot. That ernest shackleton stood one hundred years before he looks at the baron ice around them. It seems to stretch out forever. Amazing that this very point a place they've dreamed about for five years looks well. It looks exactly like the rest of antarctica. Adams will later say what is an artika other than a blank canvas on which you seek to impose yourself. It's so cold will and adams stamp their feet in place. Take the picture already. General henry peers through the view finder and pulls out a photo. He has to get it right. The photo he holds is of ernest shackleton. Frank wild and jameson. Atoms standing right were his teammates. Stand now a union. Jack flag flaps in the wind next to them the three men are bundled in their parkas. Their faces obscured by ice. Henry has been planning how he would recreate this photo. Ever since he first saw it he takes off his mittens. For just a minute to screws camera onto a tripod in the wind bites into his bare hands. Okay a little to the left atoms. That's where your great grandfather stood gal. You're in the middle. Where wild stood henry heads over to stand in shackleton's place on the right okay. Everyone one two three to think shackleton made it all the way here and then had to turn back. Henry is already bone tired and they still have another ninety seven miles to go but there will be a plane at the south pole waiting to take them out. Shackleton didn't have that luxury he's still had walked the same distance back and his men were falling apart the night before. He made his final track here. He was already showing doubt they'd make it much farther. Henry remembers the lines from shackleton's diary. I must look at the matter sensibly and consider the lives of those who are with me. I feel that if we go on too far it will be impossible to get back over the surface and then all the results will be lost to the world. If shackleton had gone on and not made it back. Henry wouldn't be here now. His hero was right to turn back but he can't imagine how agonizing choice must have been. He set aside his ego impossible. Glory to save his men. It's getting colder by the minute so they quickly pitched their tent and climb inside. Someone puts on the kettle then. They sit there staring at each other. Big city grins on their faces. There's nothing to say. Henry lays back in his bag and folds his arms under his head. What an accomplishment. He grabs the sat phone and calls his wife. We did it. Joanna as he listens to his teammates call home with the news. A feeling of relief washes over him like the weight. He's been carrying his lifted off his shoulders his fear of letting others down and the fear of failing himself. Tomorrow though meet the rest of the team that's flying in from chile to descendants of the original crew and three others including matty mcnair their trainer before he falls asleep. Henry open shackleton's diary. It's kept him company. This entire journey january tenth nineteen o nine is the day shackleton turned back on this day. A hundred years later henry will go forward to the poll. He will no longer be following in his hero's footsteps. The journey henry makes from now on will be his own. Shackleton stands next to frank wisely watching elephant island fades out of view then he faces forward in claps wordsley on the back he needs to concentrate on the journey ahead. How she looking. Skipper headed south windsor. Good for several hours. It's smooth sailing and then at two pm. They meet a gentle grouping of ice big chunks as old as time as smaller fragments passed by the boat. They make a whispering sound as they jostle against one. Another beneath them. The sea is a deep dark blue. It's other worldly as night falls. Shackleton sends the four crewmen to the hold to get some sleep. Skipper and i will keep watch then. Wars leeann shackleton huddled together on the deck saying nothing as they take in the silence far off in the distance behind them shackleton can still see the dusty shadow of the island where he left twenty two men. If anything happens to this boat no one will ever know his mentor out there. The burden of responsibility feels like a ten ton weight. We've had some great adventures together. Haven't we skipper. This one could be the greatest of all but do you really think we can beat the odds or xlii looks up. If you can't pull through. I don't know who can shackleton's still feels uneasy. You know. I've always been against dividing the that i do the wrong thing. Wars lee sits quietly listening. I hated being forced into that decision. But someone needed to go for help. I could not put that responsibility on another. They understand boss. Maybe wars lease right. So why can't he shake. This doubt. He's not used to this feeling being at cnn. A small boat has unnerved him. The land is familiar. He's proven himself. There fought the elements and learned that the wind eventually dies down the ice cracks. But the c. Is its own beast. It knows no boundaries chooses who gets through and who doesn't the best shackleton can hope for is that the sea will let them live moore's lee size see might be powerful boss but there's always a way through just look at the stars. Shackleton looks up the twinkling lights. It's magical very few men have seen. this site. Worsley stretches his arms over his head and then gets up. I'm gonna get some sleep before the drake passage. You good out here alone. All good skipper. Thank you the. Drake passage is legendary among sailors. It's simply the most dangerous water in the world. The old sailors speak of waves. Ninety feet tall intent on taking out everything in their wake. The drake passage is where shackleton will.

"Shackleton's sits in his tent pen and paper in hand listening to the man outside prepping his boat for the eight hundred mile journey ahead but he has unfinished business. He needs to write a letter last night. He met with macklin. The ship's doctor about the men's health. He asked how long they could last out here. The blizzards keep up. Macklin told him maybe a month the wind has settled some but the storm could be back any day. The thought eight at shackleton through the night at one. Am he woke up. Frank wild wild is level headed and he's agreed to stay behind with the others. The two men discuss what to do. If shackleton doesn't come back in the morning he knew he needed to write this letter to make it clear to everyone on elephant island the trust. He has in wild deer sir in the event of my not surviving the boat journey to south georgia. You will do your best for the rescue of the party. You are in full command from the time. The boat leaves this island. An all hands are under your orders. I have every confidence in you and always have had. May god prosper your work and your life. You can convey my love to my people and say i tried my best. There's nothing more to be done. The next morning shackleton gets up. The men have already prepared breakfast. They sit down together and share one last meal. He looks around at the bearded faces. He spent the last fifteen months on the ice with these men. He knows their strengths and their flaws. Every one of them contributed something to their survival. Even the difficult ones challenged them in ways that made them stronger better together on. The shore. Shackleton shakes each man's hand. He doesn't wanna get emotional. This is hard enough but it touches him to see some of the men in tears as he hops into the cared. He does a headcount. Everyone's there as the crew pushes them out to see. They laugh and joke they to want to send their team off in good spirits. Hey crine don't over eat when you get to land trying to get your feet wet chops soon. A large wave comes in and pulls the boat out beyond the breakers fully loaded and in the water. The james caird prepares to set sail. Shackleton takes his place on the ship next to war xlii and watch his men on the beach growing smaller and smaller. He knows he.

"It's six am april sixteenth. nine thousand nine hundred sixteen. Ernest shackleton sits on a rock staring out at sea. His men are still asleep. It's been just twenty four hours since he and his men docked their boats on elephant island and he still can't get used to the solid ground beneath his feet life here feels different than on the flow giant cliffs rise behind him. The island is teeming with life birds of all shapes and sizes from his perch. You can see a seal family basking in the sign. Yesterday crew even managed to bring in a few for food. It's the first time he's seen them smile in months which is why he dreads giving them the news he has today. Frank wild is up. I enjoy shackleton on the shore. Boss you need more sleep actually. We need a better place to set up camp. there's no protection here against any storms. That might come in from the east. And it's below the high waterline. When tide comes in it could wash out. It isn't safe. Shackleton points over to the cliffs on the edge of the beach deep scars run across the rock damage from the storms. They stay here. They could be swept out to sea in the middle of the night. While doesn't look surprised he's noticed it too wild. Why don't you take the wills. And a small crew sail along the coast and look for something more stable all have the mindset tense is far up on the beaches we can. Wild is up an packing about before. Shackleton has to ask twice. He's a good man for the rest of the day. Shackleton helps the crew gets set up then joins them on the shore. Their faces look like they're coming out of a fog. They're fascinated by small things like the birdlife and the play of water against the rocks. They sit on the ground for hours staring out at the sea but as the day wears on shackleton becomes anxious where frank wild and his crew. They've been gone for several hours. He puts his hand into the air. None of wind to take them out to sea. So where could they be after dinner. There's nothing to do turn in. But shackleton can't sleep. He puts guard on watch and tells him to call as soon as he spots anything. Keep the doctor at the ready in case we need to go out and help finally at eight pm. Here's the voice. It's the wills. There's a flurry of activity as the men rushed through the dark towards the icy water and helped wild and his men back in shackleton can tell from their faces. The news is good. Wild tells them they sailed along a large part of the island for nine hours straight. It's all cliffs in rocks boss but there might be one spot bigger than this at least seven miles west. There are seals and penguins for food and a glacier nearby for water. That's all shackleton needs to hear. Men will break camp at dawn there in the boats by six. Am and for the first few hours it's uneventful but then the wind comes back. It treats from up high in tax at ninety miles per hour. The boats hug the coastline trying to use the cliffs for protection at three pm. They finally reached the new beachhead. The men's faces fall other than the size and safer high water mark on the cliff. The new beach is worse than the first is no protection at all. It juts into the water leaving the site completely. Exposed to wind and storms as the pru retrieves their gear from the boats. A gust of freezing cold wind hits them head on every step is an effort as they make their way up the beach to set up the tents but as soon as they get one tent set up the wind tears a foreign at side. Another is ripped to tatters and then in late afternoon the wind brings snow. It falls on the tense and a thin crust of white. The men huddle in their bags. There is no getting more the next morning. The blizzard is worse. Shackleton is up early as usual. He walks into the pelton snow toward the gray seed with his head down. It's not even winter and it's already bad. How will these men survived. The closest whaling station is south georgia island. But it's eight hundred miles away. There's no way he can take three boats filled with men across that much water and expect everyone to survive. Not after the harrowing journey just to get to this island. He'll have to go now. he just needs to work out. How henry wakes up feeling weak and exhausted but he doesn't care anymore. It's january eighth. Two thousand nine. And they have only twenty six miles to go. Before they reach shackleton's point the spot where he and his crew turn back and today the weather is perfect while they were sleeping. The blizzard cleared up. The wind is gone. And the sun has risen. Bright a cloudless sky for the first half of the day. Henry feels wonderful but after seven miles an article catches up to him once again and his legs into feel heavy and slow push and rethinks shackleton had to deal with much worse. Henry can handle a few muscle aches twelve miles from their goal. He and his team decided to stop and set up camp. Henry puts his sleeping bag down between will and adams and climbs n. f. the next morning henry pushes forward on his skis. He thinks back to the start of his journey. How he imagined he feels. He finished up these last. Few miles late jubilant triumphant. But it's thirty below an all henry can do is keep moving and focus on staying warm. They see for seven hours.

There is no way after so many days in this inhospitable place. He could be taken away so close to land but just as the doctor rounds a small spit of land. Horsley looks up and sees a familiar shape. It's the cared the wills bobbing in the breakers near-shore. The other men made it somehow against the odds. They all survived the night all at once the men shout and cheer or xlii pushes himself up to join them but he can't speak through his tears. Ernest shackleton is seated at the stern of the cared when he hears the shouts the is coming toward them for around a small outcropping of land. It turns to frank wild. Of course he made it. He's the best navigator in the world's he jumps on top of bench and waves his arms. We'll meet you on shore. Today is a glorious day in the daylight the rocky cliffs of the island are bigger than ever thought possible. Many of them grow right out of the sea. Large seagulls circle overhead crying out to each other. The promised land. He spots a small beach behind a low line of rocks. Shackleton calls out to the wills. Bring the boat closer. I'm coming on board better going. I with the smaller boat. Wild you can follow behind. Shackleton watches the waves and then gives the signal. Here she comes. We're going to ride this one over the reef minutes later. The wills is gliding to shore sand and stone rushing up around the hall. Shackleton turns the black pearl the young man with the bit fee. He wants him to be the first to step on the island. The first man ever black brown do you think you can jump to shore Not sure boss. Shackleton helps the young man up and gently lifts him over the side but he collapses in the serb because frostbitten feet won't hold him up man help him please to the others jump overboard and carry him to the beach he will be one of the first man anyway.

The others shackleton grabs the captain in a bear hug. You did good then. He stands in the center of the group. His voice is hoarse from yelling and his men have to strain to hear men. We've accomplished the impossible. Be proud now going get some rest. You deserve it. They still need to find a way to get to civilization but for now shackleton's going to enjoy this moment for the first time in over a year is men's feet are on solid ground and it feels good. When henry set out into the storm. He knew it would be bad but he know it would be quite like this. It's four. pm on january seven two thousand nine and his body clock is completely off. he's used to starting out in the early morning and ending at four pm. But now they're starting in the afternoon and trudging through their sleep. Time and then there's the wind the non stop never ending wind. He's never felt anything like it with nothing to break. Its force it. Tears across the ice in a wailing. Howl adam shouts up from the rear general. Are you sure we're heading in the right direction. Henry pulls out the compass again. Shackleton's compass the same one. He used on this very same trip a hundred years ago. He looks down at the bearing. Trust the compass. It hasn't done us wrong yet. The crosswind makes going easier in some ways harder and others. His left side freezes up and within an hour it can no longer feel the fingers on his left hand even beneath his men and glove. But there's nothing they can do. They have to keep pushing forward one ski in front of the next. He may not be fast but at least study when his body starts to tire he has to look at his watch with the never ending late. It's the only way to be sure of time at one. Am emotions to will and adams. Their bodies are shutting down. It's still freezing. Cold as they slowly put together their tents but at least they made it through the storm there now at ten thousand feet altitude their highest point the erez then and it doesn't faze henry's body as much as it used to but the feeling of needing to make up for lost time nausea him. They're still behind schedule when he crawls into his bag. Henry quickly does the calculations in his head. If they wanna make it to the marker by january ninth. They'll just have to push harder. Bill need to break their daily records for the next two days. He's just glad to have a satellite phone to check in with the team. Who's planning to meet them. At the ninety seven mile mark there are five people on their way. Shackleton mission here. We've covered thirteen point seven miles today. Sorry for the late call. But the weather's been bad so we had to start in the afternoon. Our body clocks are off so our next check will be around this time to. Here's a crackle on the other end all good. i'm here. The other have been delayed by whether to thirty stuck in chile. It will be a close call to make january ninth zooming you all make it to. Oh we'll make it alright talk to you soon. The conviction in henry's voice surprises him. He's experienced this continent long enough to know it's nature that ultimately decides shackleton wasn't sure he'd make it to and then he was cut down by a blizzard on january. A he wrote in his diary. I feel that this march must be our limit. We are so short of food and at this high altitude. It's hard to keep any more than our bodies between the scanty meals suffering considerably from cold hands and feet but still the explorer found. The strength to push on with. The diary doesn't say is where he found the resolve but henry now knows first hand. It comes from having a lifelong dream. That's close enough to touch.

"Is my first time hearing end of the song that i've heard from this business. Pretty okay one. I hate this one But yeah no that the show in general has just been rough for me just never given the soundtrack of real chance. I think the problem with it is that you have jason howland. Who's who wrote the music i feel. He's trying to live up to his the person he's he's worked with a lot. Which was he's been working on. Frank wyatt on musicals for forever and frank. Wild horn is a great example of what not to do with musa coast. And how not to write musicals. Yeah you want to write a great album. And right great tunes and melodies that evoked the emotion. It's perfect but advancing plot inventing narrative advancing character. You don't give it to frank law. Or i've heard i've actually heard meikeljohn macuser go for an hour about frank loud orion and a listening to like a song in asia. Where even though. You don't know what the lyrics are saying. People are applauding but it's not that applause of light. Oh great you know. We've we've gone emotional journey with the character. It's more like that melody was cue. That back singer gave it. It's all and saying that really high third see but Yeah i don't have an emotional connection to it but it went on all right. We're going to carson's number nine coming at you core okay. You will be found of from the award winning music. No it didn't didn't i don't i. Don't care derive deriving handsome. I'd a lot of problems with this musical. In one of these days. I will do a full episode of this musical. I've actually talked to other people who have who are social workers and who who've gone through these. You know talking to kids like evan. And what have you and determine. Hanson doesn't absolute disservice to anyone who's dealing with anxiety or any kind of mental illness. It really doesn't paint them in the best light at all and i'm really upset about that. That being said asking him. Paul are hacks. I don't care who comes at me. They are hacks they are trying to do things that try to bring the eighth their acquainting themselves with like. They're trying to be jonathan larson and they're failing because they're trying to bring pop back into broadway but not advancing character. Even jonathan larson was a genius. And the sense of taking the mtv generation and putting it with broadway and theater but he was advancing character..

"The staging was terrible I saw a bootleg copy of it on online. And the whole thing is terrible and frank wild horn for all of his wonderful pop. Sensibility of being able to write. Great songs cannot write a musical to save his his but You look at a musical jekyll and hyde. Which is the one i always say. There's no care to development. It's just a play with songs. Wonderland is the exact same thing. But it's got some great songs. This one in particular Is one of my favorites And this is kind of like the amping. We're going into the last bit of the show we're going to we're gonna be together and we're gonna do all this but it doesn't not know plot develops no plot elephants. And the other thing that i love about the song is the ending bit where he says there. I stand for allison wonderland. So he saw they somehow figure a way to put the title in the song Which would be a great pop album. It's a terrible musical I don't know if you have thoughts about wonderland i i. No i have not really. I mean i haven't listened to it enough to really up thoughts of listen to it once. I love allison wonderland book and the story. Just yeah. i'm have seen and listen to a lot of different adaptations and versions of it. This one didn't really stand out to me is all that spectacular. But it's got some fun songs. I like the one where they're singing about. Going through the looking glass and move the mad tea party. Song is also a lot of fun but didn't really stand out to me and through the looking glass a close one after this and also the songa one night which is the.
