"Of. Course trading human beings worry forums and i fully support what is happening right now. Which is a thorough investigation into exactly what is going on there but human being could never be treated that way and i'm deeply troubled about it and i'll also talking with sectarian today on the vice president of course is leading the whitehouse's efforts to stem the flow of migration at the southern border franko. You know this in the white house at the same time that it is very concerned about the horrific images and the need to deal with this humanitarian crisis. Also telling migrants and repeatedly reiterating that they should not becoming right now. How do you feel like the president's team is balancing those concerns. I mean it feels like a very difficult message to simultaneously convey these things. Yeah i mean the vice president as we just heard and press secretary jen psaki. They've really tried to distance themselves from the actions of the border agents. You know calling as we heard calling it. Horrible human shouldn't be treated that way The homeland security secretary hundred. My york has has initiated an investigation. He actually tweeted out earlier that he expects the results of that investigation to Be made next week. And he promised to make that public and the officers who were caught in those images have also been pulled and are no longer interacting with migrants. He says and you know as you note. It's really just another example of how the administration has had a hard time trying to balance that humanitarian approach While still continuing to say that the border is secure on the one hand Some of the policies that the biden administration has a pushed including extended temporary protected status for haitians. You know has led to criticism That the biden administration is soft on the border at the same time. The biden team is saying. Don't come don't come to the united states you will be sent back. And the fact is The biden administration is deporting a lot of people including haitians. And they're doing so using a very highly controversial actually public health rule known as title forty two And that's allow the administration to remove people basically without processing them and without allowing them to apply for asylum. Lots more questions on that title forty two. We'll talk about that in a little bit but joel i. I wanted to make sure i understand. Exactly what's happening right now. You said that the united states is been removing a number of these haitians from the makeshift camp You know my understanding correctly that the government is flying. People back to haiti. It and i guess i'm confused by that. Because a number of these people had not actually been living in haiti prior to coming to the united states. Yeah i think you have that right. I mean the administration says it's ramping up expulsion flights to haiti and to other destinations in the hemisphere which they haven't specified yet. But yes some of these. People who have perhaps not been in haiti for years are going to find themselves back there when they get off of these planes. I mean i think the administration franko mentioned the sort of balance that they're trying to strike they're trying to send this message of deterrence by putting some of these people on planes and flying them out of the us but on the other hand You know many of these folks may wind up being allowed into the us to make asylum. Claims i mean the. Us has been expelling single adults under this title. Forty two policy. That franco laid out but they've been allowing a lot of families. Parents traveling with children into the us to apply for asylum and seek protection here. And i think we're gonna see that playing out in del rio as well. You know there are already reports that lots of lots of families are being allowed in and released into the us to make their asylum claims. So again i think it's this balancing act right where they're trying to send a message of deterrence like don't come now. We will expel you but the reality is more complicated. I mean they can't fly them all out. There aren't enough flights to fly out fifteen thousand people in the timeframe that they're talking about all right. Let's take a quick break and when we get back we'll talk more about the political pressure. The president has been facing over this situation an old latino every month is hispanic heritage month. Which means for the actual a month. We go all out and this time. We're taking over the tiny desk with big name stars of reggae tone salsa and much much more celebrate with the outlet. You podcast from npr music. And we're back so the explanation. The white house gifts for these mass expulsions is something. You referenced earlier. Franko called title forty two. It's actually an immigration policy. That's a vestige of the former president former president donald trump. So can you just start by explaining what title forty-two does. Yeah sure i mean kind of like you noted it was invoked by the trump administration early in the cove nineteen pandemic and the trump administration argued that it was justified to prevent certain groups To come to the united states in quote the interest of public health And basically what it does is it allows border agents to quickly remove Tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers arriving at the border Without a hearing without Starting their asylum case. I'm and this us Which the biden administration has continued has given them time to grapple with You know basically the largest surge of migrants to the border.

"We've said that the vote is are in love with shohei ohtani unfor- good reason now run arenas. Starting all season is being great. I wonder frank was being absolutely red host but only since he got called up part season. I think this thing here for me. There's only two potential. I would probably i'm happy with so rainer in is polly which takes it plus two twenty and then you can just have a little save. Run wander franco. The only person who can beat them is franco. I eight. you might be able to find loved better as well So if you're taking your polly how they have a ten dollar saved from frank. Were eight to one. And i think that's the way it over those markets scott. Do you have any thoughts on any of those markets overall agree with your strategy. Now if you wanna talk about who. I think's going to win the mvp award. I think it's going to be a rose arena. Even though he played in about ninety playoff games last year and he's still technically a rookie which doesn't really make any sense for purposes. But still i gotta go with the rose arena because wonder franko as great as he's been you would be the favorite won the award if he played from day one. But he didn't. And i think that factors in now you can talk about guys who have had great Stretches and the rookie years when they get called up but to go through the actual numbers year arose arena has played insignificant more games obviously but actually go through the number of games. It's a bit jarring. Because he has played in one hundred twenty six games arose. Arenas at if you look at wander franco. He has played in sixty two. So i think the guy who's played half the game's gonna win the award over the guy. No i think rose is going to win the award so i agree with you now. Harper i think is a pure narrative award. I think that if tateishi ends up missing the playoffs or even the wildcard game and harper can will his team or quote unquote will his teams the phillies get into. He plays mediocre. I think he'll get the points for that anyway then. I think harper. When the award. So i agree. With your assessment i think arose arena minus one fifty in itself as a gift. I agree with you on them. They're gonna give it to a garcia either one. Nobody watches texas poi- fence but they're about what eighty games under five hundred but he's not winning the award and luis garcia's good but houston once again has struggled. Lately you still vow dez garcia's what the number three in that rotation the number four in that rotation so he's not really getting much publicity arose arenas the guy they know him from the plots last year than how good he is the media knows just how good he actually is. I didn't win the award. I think mine is one. Fifty is a gift moon off. Bryce harper is. He blew in your skirt over. You're going to like scott says if affiliate philly get over the line then than bryce apu's value as well. Yeah i mean. I think that a i agree with what you're saying that if that harper and the phillies get into the playoffs or win the division. I think that's going to be hard to con- overlook from the betters. He's having a pretty good season. Statistically and then you know. Tease has been really good to you got another homerun tonight. So he's i think he's getting closer to forty home runs on the season and you know early on in the season we talked about how to come to that. That player that that flashy player almost guy that turned out to be the face of mlb As one of the young and upcoming players in we've hiro tanya have been getting a lot of light in the media.

"Soft trips and you know i don't know what to make of it. I'm not a big fan of this idea. That horses can't run without lasix. But i mean it would be irresponsible for me to ignore the fact that all of that means races this year have come without lasix and all of her huge speed figures last year did come with lasik. So i think that's just interesting to point out She's also the poster child for some of those positive tests that bob baffert got last year. So make of that what you will. I have no information about what's been going on but this lately has nobody in the media really does so what we'll see what happens if they move onto the fall but i- visually have not seen the same horse i saw last year. Then no argument from me there and yes. She's she certainly agreed. One nine out of ten but it said sometimes phillies. Just don't approve our air any horse for that matter and she's doesn't seem to be doing it the me so it just depends on the matchup. I know neither one of us were itching. The pick against stir in this spot. And but you know she just got the cupcake trip that we expect the. I look forward to seeing or to challenge a bit more well. Most of the top racing action took place on the dirt on travers day. They were a couple of turf. Graded stakes to discuss. One of those was the grade. One sword dancer run right before the travers and we did get a fast pace in this white even though we didn't get them a few of the dirt races you're rarely see it going a mile and a half on the turf. But there were a few riders that were hell bent on getting to the front end and none more so than manny franko on channel maker. Who was hustling this horse for. A good quarter mile coming out of the gate and making sure that he got to the front end. And unfortunately i think that's spell defeat for both him and tribhuvan under flavian and brad. I don't blame him for the lead demand franko because we're not getting ahead of that guy going into the far turn but both of them were unable to overcome that trip and it really set it up for some horses coming from off the pace especially gluco who just got a perfect ride from drivers. Reo he did. And s to the peace. May i would say hats off. The manny franko. Because there's only one way channel maker was winning that race in it was go into the front. It didn't work out in this case because there was another fast horse in here and they pushed each other. But i wish we more of that needs turf races. I'm not not that. I expect horses to go on suicide missions but ride your horse to its strengths and see what happens. Sometimes of field isn't going to fit it which your horse can do. But i don't think either one lost anything in defeat they just ran into each other..

"That just even when you're not in your zone when you're struggling with something but if you're totally open and cool with that if you're if you accept that struggle like if you can show it and you can include the audience in what you're struggling against and your own process of when i'm on stage in it's pouring rain and the wind is whipping. My hair is found my throat and the sound terrible. And i'm being electrocuted. If i'm just in that thing and sharing it fully with the audience they could get off on even that. Yeah i'm gonna ask you so. I just wanna make a disclaimer hero. I might ask you some personal questions which you obviously don't have to answer to personally a and be some questions that might seem like preposterously banal. But i'm curious so so on limits went okay so on the second on the second part so i was thinking about our conversation today and i was like what is on e. defranco's workday ling. Like how do you structure what you're doing. And how do you structure the time to write songs and is it. There's a certain time or is it when the spirit moves you like what. What does your day look like as as annita franko. Yeah that's a question. I've actually it's funny. You should ask. Because i've been asking myself because i've just moved into a new space with by family and a new house and there's this shack on the other side of the property. That is mommy's workspace right. Okay good this was the plan all along. That will be my space. And i'm just as we've now moved in. I'm realizing wait. I can't you know this shack i. That can't be by only works. Workspace i have to we. What do i really do i do. I was thinking. I was thinking of myself twenty thirty years ago. What are do student. I feel fused. I write songs that. Unfortunately i am fifty now and that's like five percent of what i do you know and i so i've been having to get real. I need an office. It needs to be connected to the studio to the rest of the house with everything in it with the mailing supplies and the her drive with the thing on the thing in the computer on the laptop when the thing and the and the others strings for the ten. The idea that. I could do my daily office job. Part of being auni out in the shack is not realizing you know like right. Okay so i guess. It's a ruben guitar. Exactly like a loaf of bread bottle of wine. No that is. I wish i could say that was by songwriter existence but the songwriter rarely gets to get on her horse and ride around at all anymore. In fact i'll tell you what on tour is when i mostly get creative time. There's a lot of downtime. On the road between soundtrack ing and interviewing and gigging. So that is when i play guitar now when i'm home a day in the life is overwhelmed by children by bombing by all of that. And then there's of course the emails there's all the side hustles that i'm trying to diversify my income with especially post pandemic when my touring income ground to a very sharp halt and it was a very big deal for my operation. Because i'm the breadwinner old these days. A day in the life involves working on a children's book it involves working on a musical. It involves all kinds of associations with other musicians and their records and their projects and their books and their you know. So it's it's like many people's constant day lose of emails and writing and thinking and developing projects. So you just said something. I've read in other interviews in the pandemic. And i wanted to ask you about so. I'm glad you brought it up. I came across an interview talking about. You're talking about touring income and you know that's how you make money. It's a big part of how you you support your family. And obviously in the pandemic dried up. And i had this weird thought of like right like it just never occurred to me like well. How does franko make money like what. What what. I think you exist in my head as this presents outside of the like the banal of like know electric bills. Yeah exactly and and it connected to something else that i think about a lot which is just like what the economics of music are like. Now i mean obviously. They've changed so radically my my sense from the the musicians i know my life is that touring really become kind of the main lifeblood of a lot of musicians if not most am. I got to imagine that the the pandemic was just brutal for that. Yeah yeah big. Big big shock to the system. You know i mean. I have been blessed with Live audience that still there for me To go and play to after all these years. And so i keep doing it and i keep loving it but i am getting a little exhausted of the travel aspect. You know that i need to go travel physically drive town to town to sing for my supper and i think most of that has to do with being a mom you know. It's so hard to come and go from my kids and keep the stability keeps the bond vibe keep the flow going it's very disruptive and so i was already on the tip of china devise a way that the bread and butter can come not all from playing shows and then of course. The pandemic was like surprise. Figure it out yesterday. You know so It's in one sense to great blessing to have an audience and be able to go and be working musician and no complaints of all the jobs that one could have in this world. I am so grateful but it's also become hard over the years you know and so yeah. I'm i'm trying to diversify. How on pays the bills. It's it's been really challenging in one sense it's like it's i almost think. Jeez i'll just go get on another plane.

Where should i start with you. Oh my god i'll take it from. I think we should tell the story of how we met. It's a match made in heaven literally literally literally we were dead and in heaven we died and went to heaven. No it's like. The story of how we met is one of the craziest friendship stories. That i've ever had. I agree and you know what's so crazy is i. I definitely compare myself to people and it makes me feel more insecure in a in a situation where we're both like auditions for something. Normally you would put yourself against the other contestants. But what would they be called like candidates. Everyone trying to get the same job. We were competing for the same job. We're competing dude literally rivals but became friends. It's like that's the part. Yeah and i wonder why like it must have been our energy or something because i also i had recently wrote a book right before i met you. I don't know if it was like the same week or something and it was about leadership and it was like it's about you shine. I shine which is how we connected. Yeah the whole thing is really weird.

And i was at a beautiful ranch and i was talking to a pastor okay and i asked him this question because i think you said we're gonna have evolved conversation. So this is. I guess could be the beginning of the conversation right here or in lead into other things i asked him. He said he's an extreme christian. I said well. What does that mean. Extreme christian he says he believes every single thing in the bible. I said okay cool. I said so. How do you feel about people in the lgbtq community. He said it's wrong. And i said well i disagree. I was like well. I think you have a child or you're gonna tell your child. Your child is wrong. You know someone that you love dearly and he said we basically talked about two hours right and we agree to disagree that as human beings we tend to judge someone sin and we in him and i agree to disagree that overall no-one sin bigger than the other sin. The reason i say agree to disagree. Because i think that it's wrong to say that being what you are is a sin because what you are to me is not a sin. What you do can be sent a slap somebody. That's a sin if i am so on. That is not straight then. I don't think that's just who i am as a person. I don't think that could be sent how you feel about that and say you said you grew up.

What is absolute gold that they never wanted. Turn down our weekends in the summertime because the kids go to the ballpark and so those schedule various things during the course of the year. They want their weekend gold mines and so they figure you know what. Let the all star game on monday tuesday. Mid week people are gonna watch the homerun derby. It's probably going to be the highest rated In baseball amount of the year. People watch the all star game and then on the weekend in the summertime.

"Was one of those athletic group dates which we all you know someone always gets hurt the big takeaway here during this is that hunter is like crazy aggressive. And he thinks he's impressing katie by tackling these guys and annoying and annoying them and then michael gets hurt and katie calls the game and she brought up the point that if michael had to go to the hospital he would have been at d. bubbled right. He would have taken out of the bubble and then not allowed back. How crazies didn't think about that. All house i mean. Yeah a whole new element to this experiences like. You can't get hurt which surprises me that the show is so willing to. We've had a couple dates so far that people definitely could have got hurt like. I'm shocked that somebody hasn't got seriously injured atom wrestling. This mean you've grown humans. Going full speed at each other was some to like destroy. The other person like i mean. I'm surprised that shows taking that risk. But i guess it does add dramatic element but if michael would have gone home i i honestly think bachelor nation just completely like erupts like they are sowing. He is he has to. If he's now a katy he has to be considered for the next bachelor. I need to watch. Everything stops everything when he's on screen. I'm like okay. This is we got focus in. He's so captivating and just the sweetest and that was another like take away from this. This group day is that he he kinda reveals to all the guys. He confided in a few earlier in the season that he's a widow and the emotional reaction from these guys. Greg really really really hit him started crying. They're dislike he's so happy he's like so positive and you just never know that this guy was going. He went through this. And i love him. I don't know he's just a he's just the sweetest thing and do you think here's my question though so we obviously see wells franko as the commentators for this date do you think franco just like quarantines for the whole entire season like is he onset the whole time because this is a couple times we've seen him not just this season but like he pops up you know. He does a couple host a couple of dates. Do you think he's just hanging out. No it's an only been one day to season. Well sure but two completely different dates. I just wonder if he pops up again this season. We gotta get him on the podcast. I gotta ask him how much time he spends onset. I mean it has to be weeks that he did. It wasn't a last year then. He dress up people. Yeah so. I'm just wondering if he comes up again. Yeah he's on call. Why not i mean he shows up. They did great wells and franco hilarious. They do really well together. I'm with the ash. I don't have a problem with this date as much. I do like just straight out wrestling. I would have probably semi enjoyed being a part of this day. Just from the athletic side of it in the competition side. But there's really no good way to the worst part of this date is. There's just no good way to like show your truce character. I mean i guess kind of hundred. I guess i guess that was yeah. We saw his true character. But it's just hard you can either get lost in the mix and it just doesn't feel like the dates that we love..

Bring katie propagated Because yeah those are tough conversations to have and and kind of like what you pointed out is when people share their stories that can be very hard and it's sometimes unfortunate how People do choose to handle it in. Yes we know. It can be awkward but Always consider the how hard it might be as you're pointing out for them to even share it. Let along talk about it. And there's a level of trust that you have to. You're giving someone to say. I'm sharing this about me so again always We appreciate katie Talking about it and you know good. I'm blake for doing a great job because he was the only one you know like when katie shared shared at the first time we were all sitting there and listener and we wanted to make sure we talk. But this was a one on one conversation. This was you know more like what you would you know. See in real life. When you're dating someone in mci wanna tell you something. Just this might make sense. It's might come out shit. Yeah exactly so. And then they. They have a nice day he gets a rose. The musical guests. You who whose musical guests delaney hardy ubique really nice. Nellie likes country music. That's one of the things we don't disagree on. Does it all the time all the time she knows. All the words all the songs But they haven't iceland moment so i think this re reaffirms to us. That blake is absolutely a front runner. He is here to stay. He will be a major part of the story. Line connection. I mean i mystery connection. I believed when i interviewed katie. I asked her. i guess. I believed her I don't i didn't believe her explanation on why she cried when teixeira told her and she started crying. Yeah for all we know that could have been like a pickup and she just did not like say that and like the tiny might bit off. We all know like you know i. I kind of pointed out and then like the internet notice that she was wearing the same outfit on the date that we on like. She met like that day. So who knows. But i kinda do by katie's Explanation that her like really didn't talk that much only. Because i really think i've you know when i was interviewing her. I really think. I would have gotten oliver only because it was like. Are we really going to here. Because it's i kinda was point out like we're gonna find out. Yeah so like why. Don't you just tell me now. And she stuck to her gun. So i kinda. I kinda believe that her blake didn't talk that much Before but either way he's here to stay And then we get into. The group. Date are boy.

That He didn't he's a photographer usually he. He came in for like anytime you do type of a photo shoot date on his shooting in it is brought him in because he's a delightful man So he did a great job and it got rough. What did you think of this date. I mean honestly for me. It was just like whatever it was a good. They always have sports competition date. I was cool. Whoever invented that game. I kind of wanted to play. Is that i wonder it must exist. I mean like in terms of like there's weird games out there that like aren't mainstream. I or i wonder if they literally just made that up. I should techs wells and ask them shut. He was telling he's telling us. I'm getting live updates from wells that there is more to the game than it was shown. Obviously things are edited for time but like in basketball. If there was a foul you can shoot a free throw and guys could openly talk shit while you were shooting a free throw. I'm disappointed in. They didn't air that the bachelor bachelorette bash. Ball is the name of the game are off. If if it becomes a sport bash ball and then francis fran franko franko franko lacoste franko kosta costa now francisco franco franko designed the costumes. So props frank franko. That makes sense franko on my season. Would he had these Yeah he liked tailored all his outfits or something else. I really think this could be a game like i'm down to play. Also you wanna play the the rugby version but other guys were too nice and wouldn't talk shit so we scrapped it. Oh the guys. I feel like there was nothing would have been ready to talk shit at any moment. I don't think hundred talk shit really talking more like being. Yeah but that's like that's not talking shit. It's this lace. I dunno if yo momma jokes are cool twenty. Twenty one would be like like that. Yeah where the guys wearing. Oh yeah serious information. Who was it. Justin justin just have hitchcock. Wells confirmed that the guys were in fact wearing cups so because all the guys looked girthy. Yeah they definitely they were all shores But they were wearing cups so they were wearing protection. And i gotta say prop aaron. In aaron's behemoth the man jacked. He truly came out slips very. I'm very surprised. I feel like i would not expect him to be as like chiseled as he is thought. I figured he'd be in shape. Yeah and just kind of have a nice kind of flat. Yeah kind of like good body. That's fine but it's very very chiseled. Very sculpted scott hunter. I mean hunter like they said a tasmanian. Yes you don't really. I agree with really all the commentary. Coming from the guys hunters tasmanian devil psyches from the circus. They they suggested that hunter a little harsh but like what part of the circus. Because there's lots of parts. You know they but they think hunter could've be from the circus. We see even more of hunters tattoo. So it's been like each each week. Where i last week. We saw the sleeve. Which right it's a it's a a. it's a great and then now we see that there's more kind of covers his whole chess. It's very like it's like a feel like he wanted to give off the impression that he's like a cyborg. It kind of looks like you know. It's not like a bunch of scattered tattoos right. It's it's like an arm one piece one piece do you. How do you like your tattoos. Do you like hunters tattoo or do you prefer more small many. I mean i don't know what his tattoos are of and that doesn't matter sometimes. Yeah like a tribal berry is very dushi. It looks tribal. i don't know what it is but a tribal tattoo is very if anyone has a. If you're dating the tribal tattoo run run. Run but i don't know what his is. I mean it looks good from afar. But i don't know what it does. Look good for. It does look good for car. Well he's running around there and he's low blows like he's going for people's knees and ankles about that was a little dirty now i get. He's not tallest individuals. So maybe that was just like default tackle high but like i always go but No he was like that was kind of a dirty way to play the guys kind of blame. The physicality of the game based off of hunter. Which in defense a hunter. I don't totally buy like if there was one guy running around just like knocking people out and everyone didn't feel like getting physical like bro. Yeah chill the fuck out. But they all blame hunter. Aaron specifically blames hunter for how the game aaron plant scissors for sure. Aaron is a huge. Is like a like a tattletale like i feel like he's snitch on. Everyone is a good looking guy. He's massive. he's tall he's chiseled. Why do they need as lead with like that. He leaves with his his titles he has hunters fall. You know anyway. And then someone has the audacity and it was. It was unclear in the previous. They make it seem like it's hunter. But it was in fact justin. I don't even know if it was just like side tattoo.

Jared yesterday About spain. he talked about. Spain has to remain a unity. Right and that these these secessionist movements that that exist in Cut the looney a- and in the basque country simply have to talked about the catalonians have to be slapped. Well i mean if you're familiar with the with toys century history of spain you know the catalonian independence is not a new thing. That's why they were on the wrong side of the spanish civil war because they fought with the communists because they thought the communists would give them independence So the the catalunians were very very confused. We could say because of their independence movement. But what's interesting is what would have kept. Spain together kept it catholic and give it a much more stable government that probably would have lasted much longer than franco's the stability that franko gave the country is if the car list's conception of of how spain ought to be governed had been implemented. Franko promise the carlos the place at the table when the war was over and they had to sort of you know right at how they were gonna govern spain. He promised them a place at the table. He broke his promise and the carla's saved his but early on in in the uprising. Had it not been for the carlos they he franko would not have had a chance Because they he had these organized already practiced and ready to go. Militias that the The carlos had already in place and they they threw in their lot with. Franco and franco betrayed them at the end. I'm not. I'm not you know. I'm not one of these. Guys who thinks franken was evil but this was certainly something he did wrong but but franko follows a soda fascist model The highly centralized statecraft. That was popular in the mainstream european. Right wing at that time where. Everything's very highly centralized. The federal government has control of infrastructure. And things like that. The carlos were very much opposed to that very much opposed to that and what they wanted was much more of the principle of subsidiarity and they had thought about this and this was part and parcel of their thinking. This is in their blood. And why it's so beautiful to almost meditate on those four or four principles yeah. The four pillars of carla's them diaz poverty sweat or sierra and they're in the right order diaz god. The lands other photos which is hard to translate. But it's like it's like Local custom local rule principle of subsidiarity and array meaning the king so they're monarchists but make the king i and notice that sweat does come before ray because the king himself even the king himself who had power he respected local autonomy. He respected local custom. I mean you know the katelyn the got the loonies have their own language. They don't speak spanish or they do. These be cut the loneliest spanish. But they don't speak castilian spanish. Which is spanish as most of the world thinks of it so they have their own dialect. They have their own culture It's not you know it's not a homogenized country And and the the having the king having a king who's truly king of spain but one who recognizes the traditional franchises that by the way that might be a way you could translate for does franchise he he Respects the traditional norms Local laws local local rule of these different provinces of spain. This is how you have. you know. I used the term unity in diversity because it so you know hijacked by the liberals but you can have that unauthenticated sort of Local flavor inside of a larger political unity.

"There aren't many golf courses in the world that are better than Bandon dunes but bannon's lasting legacy isn't as a golf course it doesn't idea. That north. America can have true links golf and even better that it can have remote golf courses that can turn into bucket lists destinations. Plenty of course have followed in. BANDON footsteps like cabot links to Nova Scotia or sand Bali and Wisconsin. It's a movement. But it sure didn't start that way. I'm to chair on today's drop zone. Here's how one course in nowhere Oregon turned into an entire movement all by accident. The story of Bandon, Dunes begins with David McLay Kidd A. Scottish. Twenty six year old who had dreamt of becoming a golf course architect but had no concrete path to making that happen. So back in nineteen ninety, four I was twenty six years old and working for the. Detail in Scotland My father was a the golf courses manager and I was working for the development division of. Detail effectively. And I was hating all the Gulf Bar and I was a wannabe golf course architect type I'd done a couple little things but nothing really of any note. And Mike Kaiser Have Franko Rick Summers who's the current owner of PGA Goldman? Zine And Mike said to rick SARS I've got this piece of land on the Oregon coast a WanNa build on authentic Scottish Irish links experience who you guys she'd higher I'm thinking of hiring you know told Vase Your Jack Nicklaus or Pete Dye or a Rick said will you should hire a Scottish golf course architect if you want something authentic in a Mike Chuckled and said, I, would but the old died one hundred years ago. At this point, it wasn't just mcclay kid who was an unknown the Golf World Mike Kaiser was to. He'd made his money by bringing a fresh mindset to the greeting card business decades before need proven to be a smart businessman. But. That doesn't guarantee any success as a wannabe course developer. As an outsider is first instinct might have been a hire a big name architect someone from the establishment to give his project credibility. But maybe he had it in the back of his mind that fellow outsider would be a more proper fit. So he invites David McLay kidd the remote site on the Oregon coast to check things out. and. So I arrived on the state. With my dad. So holding my hand and we will the sixteen hundred acres I remember. Mike Mike is wasn't there. I'd never ma'am yet. He's a caretaker shorty who even then in the seventeenth was our chaperone for the week. So David and his father walked the property with his caretaker shorty Dow and they're thinking themselves. What if you're doesn't know any better? What if he might hire a no name? But shorty keeps asking mcclay kids, business card and eventually he gives them one. In short, he pulls out a stack of cards. He's recently collected mcclay. Kid realizes that every major golf course architect has walked the same site and I realized that might Kaiser was pretty astute and he was he was looking at every possible option as an architect to do this. This set something off in mcclay kid if he's going to be an underdog, well, he may as well act like one. At that point I think I go a little a fire in my Bailey probably because I realized that this guy was never going to hire me I have anything to show I there was no way I was twenty six. So he's going to hire some big name but Hale I'm not going to leave here with my gender my chest I'm gonNA leave with my hailed high. So I went to the local drugstore I bought a dozen sheets of poster board and a few marker pains and I rule what would now be considered a powerpoint presentation. I did it on poster boards with a Marker Pens And Mike Kaiser flew in a few days later in his private jet with some of the executives from Cambridge sports and some of his buddies and I laid. half a dozen or dot com you remember no posterboards that told Mike Kaiser this rich guy from Chicago with a great piece of land, what it would take to build. A true authentic links course in America, and I did so with kind a little chip on my shoulder because I figured with my relatively limited knowledge of Link School Golf in America that there was nothing authentic I was told Pebble beach was a links course doesn't look like it to me I. I was told you know the latest Gulf course by whichever. PGA Pro you WanNa pick a that was in the mountains of southern California was a links course was the farthest thing from the truth. So when I painted I a scenario to Mike Kaiser I said, Hey, if you really want to build a true links course in America years, what it takes and I had a half a dozen points and there were absolutely critical. Such as. You can't have golf carts. There's no golf carts in the British isles, you walk. There's no fancy clubhouse I on the ocean. That's where you put the best green. The clubhouse is back in a corner. The base land is Gulf. The fairways aren't flat. They're pitching in tumbling. There aren't any lakes. There's no babbling streams. There's no car pass. The grasses we use these old style firm grasses van may even have told him there's no arrogation. Can't quite remember what if I said none on a of the bunkers aren't these or MIBA Cloverleaf shapes there these pulp bunkers. Are there to punish the bowl not to Be Up on the week. And as I went through this explanation of links Gulf. Mike had a wry smile on his face and in his. Cohorts laughed openly I load at the ridiculousness of such thought in the sophisticated Gulf market of the United States. I assume that when my father and I left the very next day, we would never hear from Mike Kaiser Regain are crazy Scottish ideas of goal in America were just that while. American. Goal for would traits all the way to the southern. Shores to play golf in the wind and rain and walk and find themselves in eight. Pulp on Kerr surrounded by facie grasses and pitching fear waste were not a single flat lies available such a scenario could never ever work.

"The underworld. Today's quote comes from Salvatori profanity. An influential captain in the most famous Colombo crime family based in New York City for fought. She's actions were ruthless but they were necessary to keep the families disputes away from authorities. Nowhere was this sentiment more apparent than in his famous quote. Goodfellas don't sue goodfellas goodfellas kill goodfellas cheese. Father Joe was the original head of the crime family before his death in nineteen sixty two in the years. Following the family was taken over by Joseph Colombo. The younger prophecy never expressed regret over. Not taking over for his father. He knew it was best if he worked outside of the limelight. Things were easier to accomplish in the shadows while Prophet. She never led the family. His role was important in keeping the peace profound. She was known to be a great mediator. Inter family disputes and was called in to squash any problems for example in nineteen ninety two a mob lawyer in Philadelphia named Salvatore threatened to sue a mobster named carmine Franco Avena accused Franko of skimming money off the top of their Waste Management. Racket without telling him as if the accusation itself wasn't enough to stir up trouble. Avena wanted to take the matter to court. Never the best idea for a criminal organization. The fifty-six-year-old flew in to settle the dispute at the behest of the Colombo family Ci Son was also married to a Venus daughter so in addition to helping the crime family he was protecting his own family profonde. She begged Wien not to file a civil suit. Exposing the entire business in front of a judge would lead to more charges against everyone but Avena was steadfast. That's when pro fauci uttered his famous quote to survive the mob. You had to avoid the courts. This wasn't how things were run instead. Violence was the law of the land. Profonde she didn't want Vena killed. He was family but if he didn't relent. That would be the only way forward. It took some more working over but Avena down. He and Franco settled their deal out of court weeks. Later the problem was federal officials. Had bugged. Evine is office. Every word of his conversation with Prof Archie was heard and some of prophecies comments were used to pin his men on a slew of charges. It was the biggest and most ironic slip up of his career. But he himself ultimately didn't face prosecution he was able to retreat back into the shadows just the way he liked it after a few more years of peacekeeping by the early two thousands prof

I actually had people telling me that they thought the Horse is done. You know and I'm like well I wouldn't be running on the done so You know he does like a little bit of you know. We've got rain that we and he does like thank the term for the little given it and he doesn't like it when it's super hard. You knew it was really hard during the Breeders Cup and you know we're taking a shot there but when he broke out the gate Alaska said he just like he just didn't handle it. He said he was stinging. Just you know from the Turpin so hard so he just kinda got him around there and He came back to work. Really good on the turf and had to good works on the turf and I actually was like stuck with a writer our 'cause Franken worked. Giovanni Franko worked on Chirping. He couldn't get off the D'Amato ours and then they've L. Devia works a monograph and he loved them and just immigrate right through in the real so well and he won he won with really with some authority. And that's the part that I I think was was most impressive. Just looking hadn't won since January And that goes back to the San Gabriel. And you're the you know this is the you're the second you're the second winner from the weekend. That mentioned how hard the turf was up north versus down there and I'm trying to think it was. It might have been Michael was wasn't might've been talked Michael McCarthy. I talked to house talk to Cassie. So yeah well you know. We don't get any rain and it's sunny in hot all the time. And it's like they have air raid it and you have to put water on it and They really gotta stay after the trip so you you know the now. There's nothing better than Mother Nature for anything. I don't I believe so it's true. I heard from a few jockeys I mean. You know it's I think on on the East Coast guys come out here. They write a lot of grass races. Obviously over there so I can a- they'll tell you wow it's really hard today
Behind The Tech with Kevin Scott
danah boyd: Researcher, activist, tech scholar
"To the show Dana thanks so I wouldn't of you have such an interesting job and you've had such an interesting career I really would love to understand what about how you got started like were were you were you a techie kid well so it's sort of funny path on how I came into it which is I was a Geeky kid by which that meant I did a lot of mass and I didn't really fit in because I was Kiki up in Pennsylvania outside of major cities and I single mom you know working multiple jobs is trying to make ends meet and my brother who's born very early had a visual issues and so one of the doctors at one point said need work on eye hand coordination there's these things video games as so you she bought him a video game player and I I know that Gordon Intendo is I don't know if that was the first one as we would you know play all of these games and was fine and my brother really got into it and wanted to know how it worked and so he became obsessed with in a reverse engineering all of these different systems he ended up building his own computer and I pretty much ignored him as a big sister does and then he started using the phone line which was just an unforgivable sin and it was making bb sounds and I didn't understand the BBC sounds and one day I marched in to what he was doing it was like what is this and he's like I'm talking to people like what that is crazy and so he showed me using it and it's always the rest is history so I spent my high school years on various fora on us yet building my first website as a homage to Annita Franko on all of her lyrics he's definitely the days of lyrics sites and I went to college I I went to this amazing program called Pennsylvania Governor School mom which took smart kids around Pennsylvania and sent them to Carnegie Mellon the summer and I was way over my head because I did not have the education that most of those folks had and I felt very unqualified to be there but I learned a lot and it was also where I was exposed to what elite universities could look like and would made you what made you persist there because I think it's not actually an uncommon thing for folks to have their first exposure to like very highly level computer science or mathematics or science education seem like really intimidating and overwhelming and like your first assumption is like oh I am the unusual Wohl thing in this situation and like some people give up because his heart and intimidating and some people say nope I'm going to get on top of the us like what made you so for better or worse I always responded to being told I couldn't do something by determination that was gonNA prove wrong this got me kicked out of elementary school in the fourth grade where I staged a protest against my teachers inability to teach and made everybody signs to have them walk in circles that did not go over well and so even when I went to governor's school in the only reason I applaud Reid was that this boy in my class told me that it was a program for men it was not for girls and I was like I'm going to go it's very simple and in that kept happening where when people told me I didn't belong I just became determined to stay and that fire in that fight has done well but it's also it's also costly and I think that tension to me is where things get difficult I mean my freshman year of college I went to college where'd you go Brown University which I knew nothing about except that they didn't have grades mom kind of startling to think about at this point in my life and I was assigned on the first day a supervisor Ah you know somebody to mentor me and I got this piece of paper and it said Andy Van dam gave his office as like all right I don't know who you are had no idea who he was and so I- marched into his office I it was the door was open so I just walked in and he looked up from his Eskimos who the hell are you yeah I'm like it says I'm your student and I need advice and he's like why are you in my office I was like hello and from that and I mean Andy me under the wing and Andy was such a key mentor and in that way where you know obviously it was a different era there was my my way of speaking was very much street language very much working class street language and so it was a period of time he decided he was going to teach me to speak like an adult and you would just hit me upside the head every something wholly inappropriate again looks a little different you know saying it now but it was such a lovely such care and my freshman year in college a group of people I assumed to be group accessed the computer and that computer was a UNIX machine and came which is basically the period get peace which would tell you which user was world writable and so somebody sat and turned it into you know the admin position and then went into my account and hacked all of my emails all my correspondences which included a ton of conversations about out grappling with sexual abuse grappling with You know a mess that I was in with my family all this stuff and they posted it to an anonymous server gene Lord this is nineteen ninety seven and like why other than they were asshole stat year there was a whole group of us who were women and we were regularly told didn't belong and it was oh was it hard and I was I was act and you know Andy had Jack and Andy like prosecutors figure out who is investigating prosecute and what I learned was that it was again laws were different time for every may email stolen was a coup into a male stolen was thirty years and I was like no matter how horrible this is that's not the punitive result that I want from this and so I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how I would position myself with in computer science to be like I'm staying I'm not going going away and it was hard slog and I mean Kevin the number of stories I can tell you of people trying to get me out right like I remember applying for a job at silicon graphics SGI and I remember this interview with Sky who was like oh I thought they managed to get you out by now and I was like what this was alumni of brown and I remember you know applying for a job at Disney when I was at siggraph and walking up to this recruiter and saying what I wanted internship and he's like well we don't have internships artists I'm like Mama computer scientists and like mature girl right and it was like constant story and I was just Doug my feet in and I became determined so much so to be honest that I stopped realizing what I liked about computer science and what I didn't and I was just so determined to do computer science because people told me I couldn't that I wasn't willing to look at the broader You know field if you will I mean I graduated Brown with a few classes that weren't computer science or math because you can't at Brown and it took me many more years to be like actually what I love about computing is not just doing software development I like thinking about how these systems are built gently how they fit into broader social issues what took me a long time and it was really about Andy that made me go back I dropped out of my PhD program so I went back and Andy introduced me to basically work with anthropologist and it was like I knew nothing about it was like what how does this relate at all and it was just this moment of like Oh studying peoples and cultures and practices could give me a different way into it all

R. F. He pointed out that that was the fastest time twelve racers at the meeting one mile on the main track so far as ours the Rod Time One thirty seven point ninety four so you had mentioned text immediately after the race you thought would the Los Alamos dirty make cents Steve Anderson also reported that that that is exactly a race that they are contemplating for honor AP and they did say no Breeders Cup for AP so they are thinking of the Los Alameda teary just seemed to fit wonderfully from a timing standpoint and they're racist really been so good through the years as a springboard into three year old campaign so it looks like really bright future here for trainer John Sheriff as one of the best trainers I've ever been around and it looks like he's going to be really primed on the Derby trail here with honor. AP Well we talked last week to John and I I've actually I'm kind of glad that we connected weeks after my initial I think it was in September at the end the Dell Mark I reached out to John a couple of times and we just didn't connect and and so then then that morning last week these he responded he said sorry okay all right if you insist and who is tremendous and he's he's you know it's funny there's there's there's so many of the horsemen visits that always seem to resonate and John's a on that front shug how about Barclay tag last week too me Barkley I thought was really informative and insightful ban that was just fantastic and another you know to me positive sign coming away from this Andre p performance you know that was pretty highly regarded race and terms of prospects there's magician finished second for Richard Mandella and you look at it and say well yeah he got his clock cleaned getting beat by a little over five lengths batismal suggestion was over ten lengths in front of the third place finisher night race and as I say it was not considered a week race going into it so it's just further evidence Inste- to me that what we very well are dealing with here with this honor Api just he he's he's the kind the two year old to me that it's just so exciting yeah now this is what this is what we're after a you know once the summer and they start to they start to parade through we get to this juncture and it starts to get you know starts to get interesting we from standpoint John I I one other thing I think I I'll slip any or as I look at yesterday's results the the natural the hat trick for Doug O.`Neil yesterday the fifth sixth and seventh race and for those that heard me last week I think on Friday I'll just keep reiterating that Doug O'Neil deserves the absolute two hundred percent support and appreciation of the industry a he more than any one individual from a from within the industry has been leading this you know these these proactive don't WanNa call them protests so much as considerations and rallies before big days at at del Mar and at Santa Anita and With the help of Oscar dilatory I I cannot congratulate and and voice enough support for what got is is doing and so for him to be rewarded On the Karma Front as as hammer famously refers uh-huh King and the Good Karma swinging around the Doug Right now also got a mention it looks like a step forward it a for a three year old Samantha Segel's Quality Road Philly that was bred by Martha Mohammed that's Road Ranger looking for sure in that race and you mentioned neil you know he's always been such a terrific ambassador for our game honestly you know you think of the controversy that was involved back in the day without having another in he handled all that I thought extremely well heading to the Belmont and Gee what a disappoint many and I really think I'll have another I had a fee after the Kentucky Derby I bet on him to win the Belmont stakes in a proposition in Vegas where they say will there be a triple crown winner yes or no and this was before the preakness but it was after the Derby and he was such a low lightly regarded horse he in fact he of course wasn't even the favourite in the preakness boaty meister was and then headed to the Belmont was the most lying favorite union rags who won the race but considering the final time and so forth I just really feel if I'll have another had had his chance if he would have won the Belmont but well never know that but like I say such a disappointment and both Doug O'Neill and already handled that with such class and You know I remember being up at Emerald downs in the early two thousands for the lawmakers Mile Pacific Northwest West major race and I was there to do the the Fox North West Telecast along with Joe with the and and others and I remember that Doug O'Neill was sending up a horse from southern California for the race by the name of Scott Hi Jack had actually he won the race broke the track record and Doug O'Neill actually gave me the two French shoes that skyjacked war in that race and but I remember the people at Emerald the in the publicity department especially saying do you know this Doug O'Neill from southern California said well yes of course I do they said what kind of guy is he I said believe me by the time he leaves here are you everyone here at Emerald will love this guy

The logistical mess of trying to clean up Youtube
"On today's daily charged supercharged edition diving on youtube score problems with its creators and how unionizing may or may not really be the answer uh-huh so is actually kind of quiet today and i'm wondering if that's actually something algorithm at play. Perhaps the fact that the topic of the show joe is kind of bashing youtube youtube is somewhat burying us sure. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but <hes> well this unfair. I know this is one of the things because everything is transparent. It's opaque with with youtube. We don't know if the reason that there aren't very many people there are fewer people will the normal that would be in our livestream. We don't know if that's because people are just not interested. We don't know for getting albert. Mic lee depressed or suppress. These are the kind of things that small to medium youtube youtube channels wanna know and they aren't getting at that's why they're making these pushes. Okay bye does youtube. Oh the anything that's that's the thing they are creating a video for the platform in a lot of cases. What is it one of one of the folks that you you interviewed said that <hes> <hes> they create suffer facebook and twitter as well facebook and twitter do not send them a check youtube sends them check so beyond that does is it necessary for them to have have more of a relationship <hes>. It seems at least at this point youtube doesn't seem to think so by the union is arguing for changes <hes> you you know having a human on the other side actually explained things on its face. It seems to make a lot of sense but how many of those employees are actually going to have to exist to be able to explain things in the same time you get into a lot of nuance in a lot of nitty gritty <hes> and you might have to explain certain things about <hes> the algorithm gerrad them and how to actually operates. I can really just see how youtube would have a big problem trying to explain some of those things especially through a human operator right well this situation right now. The the question is does youtube. Oh them anything. It's both yes and no it depends on how you look. At what is the backbone phone of youtube like what's youtube would be nothing without content creators willingly uploading their content. If all of the small to medium ones disappeared and went to another platform that would mean youtube still have tons of us but it wouldn't have the diversity of community that it has house because part of the thing that makes youtube youtube is not just pudi pies there. It's that you can also watch composting educational videos which is all the the great thing about youtube and the bad thing about you. There's so much content. It's almost impossible for them to handle what they've created at the scale and i'm includes youtubers demand so what youtube saying is that it's gotten to the point where you need to address user safety. You adjust brand safety for advertisers. You've put those on the front burner but you aren't putting us on the front burner. We're gonna make thank you at least address. The address a possibility that you'll take our needs as seriously as those are certainly curious to see how things move forward the l._g._b._t._q. T. q. plus lawsuit because not having watched any of that content. I am certainly wondering why that would get demonetized just or they are. That's why they're doing. They don't know they feel like it must be something like their claim is that there's no other explanation that is just discrimination that it's a gay thing as a as they have been told by somebody at the company when they're on like a service call okay wow that is certainly unfortunate and sounds like it merits a lawsuit so we'll see what happens. Obviously i think i actually don't know what they've said what their actual statement on the suit is <hes>. I'll pull it up because in fairness. We should say how google has responded so far. They haven't had an official legal response. I haven't filed anything yet <hes> but as brian launch you give us some questions and i'll make sure that we get that up so we can give their side well update. We have been democratized. I'm shocked. I'm looking at it right now like it was because of the bleeping or do you think it's because of other other just no way that their algorithm works so fast that it caught the bleeps and besides there bleeps that's the point reyes is because because we tag the show with fair tube against whatever it's it's a new show whatever but i think that the issue here is this is the kind of thing that frustrates a lot of youtubers that are on the aren't on the scale of a p._d. Pie or your brothers or even or even to find brothers which is smaller. It's like one fifth the size of that you know right. We just don't know why it is important to mention that. Obviously we started a new channel and we have under five hundred subscribers subscribers at this point but this is not our <hes> this is this is not how we're paying the bills like were seen at employee and we don't get paid whether other youtube sends us money or not like that doesn't end up in our bank accounts which gives us the opportunity to talk about whatever the hell it is that we want to talk about whether the were demonetized for the a day or night <hes> but it is interesting how quickly i'm glad you brought that up ben <hes> but the point hand is not about the money this this is clearly headhunting on youtube part and that's a form of censorship. I didn't even know the term. Censorship is it's. It's a squishy term because censorship serbia some people would say it's a private plot for it's a privately owned company <hes>. It's not a government utility. It's not like you have a right to free speech on youtube they ah within their rights to to to algorithm mickley not recommend or or depress anything that they want <hes> what their stated stated premise is that it's here to be an open forum to the extent that that's safe you bring up a great point as far as whether people have first amendment rights on major platforms. That's an argument argument legally. They don't that's an argument. That's currently being considered at least as <hes> we start to discuss the potential break-up of big tax or talking talking about facebook google amazon and help me out here. It's not microsoft. Never mind the big guam all the big ones so it's one of the arguments especially as it relates to youtube and facebook as you know. Have they become so big that <hes> some people do have some level first amendment rights to say whatever it is that they want to say on those platforms and when they do become demonetized or deep platforms or whatever you wanna call it some sort of legal argument against that that goes back to the lawsuit that we were discussing previously i would also say though that <hes> that legal argument at least in terms of optics i think would have been stronger than make like four years ago or three years ago. I feel like since we've entered through this era where we are so much more skeptical of these gigantic platforms not in terms of save us having speech but of the fact that they allow too much free speech <hes> there's been so much backlash against you know objectionable content speech those sorts of things that didn't it wasn't part of the conversation nearly as much three years ago four years ago right. I remembered what the fourth companies it's apple but apple is treated the same way ought not only that but like a lot of the arguments related to the break-up of big tech related to apple have a lot to do with how they operate their app store where they're both a player and a coach they operate the platform perform and they also have apps on the player and a coach in a rough actually yes. They're all there every more like a player in a referee right yeah exactly they run the platform perform and they're also on the platform and therefore there are a lot of <hes> considerations as far as whether they are appropriately running things in a fair way for everybody. That's involved in that system right so but yet they're certainly from from my perspective. They seem to be getting way less heat as it relates to this than i facebook facebook seems to be the one. That's getting the most attention but i feel like youtube. There's a lot of free speech consideration there too and that's why you know this is an interesting conversation to discuss as far as what this union is hoping to get out of those and you know the fact that youtube facebook youtube the entire collection of companies is facing so much pressure on so many fronts. That's another reason why i feel like creators like those that are represented by this union. <hes> feel like they're not getting their voices heard because there there's not a backlash of people they'll be a backlash over objectional content being served the kids on youtube kids being exploited on you to be a backlash against hate speech on youtube to a certain certain extent depending on what kind of speech it is <hes>. There's not really a backlash for people that feel like they're being unfairly democratized or not getting the due conversation from the fat from that as well. That's one interesting argument that you mentioned is is that in your story it was it was kind of like a one of one of the more cynical arguments about the union was are these smaller medium sized players frustrated that they're not bigger that they aren't some of the more successful players because like hey if you were if you were good at this. Maybe you'd be bigger and you wouldn't can have to complain so much. I mean like a pretty tough thing to say to somebody but at the same time when you're talking about unionization starting to bash the platform so you can see that there could be that kind of backlash to yeah and you know i think that so hank green and i talked about this in my story about how there's just. It's a lotta things at play here. The reasons why big youtubers wouldn't be responding. They don't want to bite the hand the feeds them they have a stake in not rocking the boat and also so there is an element of not only like if you were just complaining because you're channels not big enough in the point that he made is that yeah there's a strain of that maybe in some very large youtubers thinking partly because those big youtubers notice sacrifices they've had to make in order to stay as big as they are but i think most being youtubers understand that lottery who gets to be gigantic you it's table stakes that you have to work hard for it and commit your life to it in order for you to become gigantically stratospheric successful on youtube but some of those just look and they didn't get as lucky as me also hang hang space point. Is that sorry. Sorry just didn't hit the lottery and like i. They should have picked different number. Why aren't you smarter thanks. It's true that there's that vein possibly in some large thinking but it's also important that they realized that that's not the only thing going on here that there are some legitimate concerns for these small to medium size is a great point though i really i really appreciate that argument because it's you know there are a lot of things that really involve involve luck and when you look at kind of the opacity of the youtube algorithm along with a lot of other algorithms exist online. That's an addition. You're layering on top top of that just like the life lottery of you know. know. It was your timing right did you did you hit the right audience that kind of stuff too so those those two elements can can obviously obviously bake in a lot of uncertainty as far as whether you know you're you're a huge channel or not for the guy. That's really pushing the this union. I wouldn't have expected somebody eh builds. I dunno souped-up. Slingshots have two million viewers two million subscribers so at least to me. That sounds like a lie. I don't know maybe people alive alive and even less than that is it just depends on you know if you're trying to make it your livelihood you know people who write about educational occasional topics have a lot less trouble with the monetization they can have a channel with fewer videos and fury subscribers fewer views because maybe like two thirds of what they're writing about doesn't get democratized where like if you were say a news channel that talks about controversial topics sometimes like build a franko go or if you're transgender youtube earn you're talking about sexuality on a regular basis which also has tendency to bump up against what seems to be the unclarified criteria about what is okay and what is not okay so. I'm glad you brought up filled franko because i knew something what happened with filter franko like a couple years ago speaking out about youtube right so can can you remind me a bit about this because there was a case as where a major youtuber was speaking out about concerns with the platform right so that was the hashtag youtube is over party that so philly maybe if i remember right like going back into my my files if i remember right the reason for that that was a particular it was a demo basically democratization issue and i believe what happened at that point was <hes> youtube was making what should have been a very small mall tweak. I think what they were doing is they. Were trying to be more transparent with youtube creators in that previously. I don't think that there was a easy way to see in one place which of your videos were demonetized and so they wanted to be more transparent and create a way for you to see which ones were demonetized. The effect of that was that people realize oh. All of these videos are demonetized and so some people thought that they had been like all in one fell swoop on all of a sudden <hes> and that happened to filter franko. I can't remember the specifics if he actually noticed that he obviously he and his team keep very close. Run a tight ship and keep close watch on their channel. I can't remember if they actually noticed instances of like one day. They had so many videos radio's democratizing the next day. It was a lot more or if it was a combination of like they just realized more more. I'm not sure how it actually but it goes to the point of opacity casati passing so how how large influential youtuber can get the conversation going 'cause the hash tag youtube over party was trending on twitter all day <hes> <hes> that hasn't happened with with this thing but there hasn't been like a crystallizing moments and make people feel outraged enough to rally their supporters to work for this collective unified costs

Toronto Raptors win Game 1 of NBA Finals
"We begin with last night's storage NBA finals game. One win by the raptors in Toronto over the two-time champs you have to start with PASCAL Siaka miraculously made fourteen of seventeen shots and was the best player on the floor for either team besting Steph curry, and the dubs the warriors weren't as much rusty as it were simply smothered defensively by raptors team, which is now won five straight playoff games. Toronto also shot fifty percent Franko confidence to the raptors be after game one. I think there should be very confident. And I know Michael, we're not supposed to overreact to one game. But guess what? I'm going to do. I'm going to overreact to one game because the words are banged up. You mentioned the raptors having won five straight. They wanna game where Hawaii was five fourteen. It's his worse shooting game since February. And now you're getting contributions from guys like Pasco Siaka Fred been fleet guys weren't doing much their confidence has been raised ever since that win against Philadelphia. Game seven Toronto been a different team. Why shouldn't they have a lot of confidence, especially with homecourt advantage year? Frank, I'm with you. They should have a lot of confidence. They had to win that game last night. And there were a couple of moments as you know, you're sitting there, like I was where look like Golden State was about to go on one of those third quarter runs or maybe early fourth they got within a couple and they couldn't every time Toronto found plays. And you mentioned Kyle Lowry and they did not have spectacular games. But there was so much support starting with Siaka. But that defense Frank. I want to go back to that curry and Thomson. I mean they have bad games but one thirty five shots between the two of those guys not gonna get it for now. We don't know what Andre dollars situation as you mentioned being banged up, and they're going to have to get more. I don't know how you ask for more than a triple double for Draymond green, but they're probably going to have to ask more, so but I think Golden State is going to be ready or I said that last night, they're going to be in a better position to. React that smother defense in game two than they weren't game

Roseanne, Connors and Roseanne Rubio discussed on 1A
"Retail giant Sears has filed for bankruptcy. It's just the latest move in a decline that's been going on for some decades. Now, Sears chairman, Edward Lampert argues that the company can turn around, but only by closing more stores and borrowing more money in television. Some beloved characters return to the air this week in a continuation of the sitcom Roseanne. The Connors picks up where the Roseanne Rubio reboot left off when it star Roseanne. Barr was fired by ABC entertainment for making very inflammatory comments on social media, the Connors features, the rest of the cast dealing with the sudden death of the family, matriarch Roseanne, CONNER listen. Overdose, it doesn't make any sense. I got her knees fix. I flushed all our pills. Oh my God. I found these pills in mom's closet. These aren't even prescribed to her. She got them from Marseille Bellenger. That's the only thing for mom's closet that I wanted. But one of the new episodes of the Connors, Josh Rogers, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I watched the Roseanne reboot. It was very, very good. It was really well written before all of this craziness happened. I get the idea of dealing with the opioid epidemic in the family shock at seeing that Roseanne overdosed and not knowing about it. It also kind of feels like a very day use x. He no way to kind of like cut her off of the show. I don't know how I feel about. I mean, it's a way to do. It's a way to have somebody die that is relevant in the world that the show in a habits. I mean, you know, here in New Hampshire, I think four hundred eight people died from drug overdose as last year and you know, in the mail you that the Connors is portraying. I mean, you know, opioids, big issue, and I think we should note Franko just briefly that the show did get credit for being able to create a network hit that played in parts of the country that did go for President Trump in the election. It was supposed to be one of these shows that allow the whole nation. To deal with these issues very directly. No, absolutely. It was one of those shows that people are like, hey, finally, we have a show that represents, you know, a part of America that is so often ignored. It showed families who are obviously split about what was going on in Washington. They were unhappy about the fighting in congress. They had, you know, polarized question polarized opinions about our our president President Trump. But at the same time they fought through that and they still loved each other and they still had humor and they still, you know needle each other. In the ways that families do there were a lot of talk about new shows coming up to try to to match that. The problem that Roseanne hat is that in our personal life, the real life bar across so many moral lines. There will soon be some
