Humane Iguana Control's Unique Acetate Service Offering
"Want to talk about a service that we provide, but I don't think other companies may provide. We put a, like a clear acetate around trees so that they want us to climb the trees. Oh, that's cool. Some people put chicken wire, which only helps them climb more because the chicken wire is like little. Yeah. It's like levels. There's like steps. Exactly. Exactly. So we put the clear acetate around it so that they slide, they can't go back up. So it's slippery and they can't. Yeah. What is it? Like a hard plastic? It's like a very, very thin. It's like a, it's like bendy, like, and then you just put around the tree and they can't climb up and it's clear. So you don't see it on the tree. We actually even installed that in like fences, you know, that has golf courses behind them. You know, we did like a long 50 foot stretch because we just went to the little holes of the fence. So we provided that and we put that and they want to stop going to their property. So you guys installed that as well. It's great from the landscape background, you know, that's something that a landscaper would do. You would think, oh, I need to cover something. Let me talk to my fence guy or let me talk to, you know, a landscape or hardscape where they can come and do it for me. But that's a service that you guys go and do yourself. Exactly. Yeah. I think we forgot to mention that we actually do preventive maintenance. So let's say if we start doing your property for a month or two months, six months to a year, when we're done and we know it's under control for eliminating, you know, we provide the service. You're just going one time a month just to scope the area. What that includes is just walking around, you know, looking at any entry points that might come in. You know, we recommend landscaping materials so they don't attract the owners to the property. So we offer all that as well, you know, to help the resident out. That's cool. No, you want that because if you had an infant station, you know what it can do, especially if you have losses as a landlord. So you want to make sure they don't come back. Your neighbors might have them, but you want to make sure that they don't come into your yard. Exactly. Yeah. So we take a lot of preventive measures, you know, from the trees, the fences, the holes, you know, all of that is stuff that you guys are doing to prevent, which is great. I'm glad you guys are doing

On S .I. media with Jimmy trainer. All right, training me now. S .I. media podcast regular. This periodic visit from the New York Post. And the March and Iran podcast is Andrew Marchand. Andrew, how are you? I'm good. How you doing, Jimmy? I'm good. I just realized I didn't put my phone on do not disturb. So I'm going to do that as we speak. And I'm going to let you know that I had a reader last week for my mailbag column on S .I. com, send it an email and said, when is Marchand's next appearance? So here we go. You made someone happy. Thank you that person. You made someone happy by coming on today. Let's start with this. A lot of media news to get to. Have you heard anything from ESPN or do you have any intel about how they feel about the last two weeks? How the staggered Monday Night Football doubleheader has gone? Because I've gotten a lot of emails and tweets about it. I'm sure you have as well. Yeah, I haven't talked to anybody specifically about how they feel about it. I mean, it is an NFL decision. ESPN is not in control of how those games are scheduled. Maybe they have some say, but it's the NFL decision. Yeah, I don't like it. Actually, in our podcast with John, it was my who's down this week. And the reason I just feel like I kind of said this on our part, it's too it's like having two quarterbacks and you have none. Right. And now if you have Joe Montana and Steve Young, there are two awesome games. Maybe that'd be better. But I just find my attention split and I don't know. And even at like halftime, I wouldn't recommend you go to the other game. Like I get what they're trying to do there, but it's not the NCAA tournament. And usually it's in like the second quarter, third quarter. So I personally don't think it really works that well. Now, I think they want to avoid I'm not positive, but I think they want to avoid that 10 30 late window. We used to get the Monday night and you get the, you know, crazy crew, either Chris Berman or Golick and Greenberg, you know, some of those crews back in the day. They probably don't want that late night game where, you know, you're losing that East Coast audience if it gets too late. But I don't know. I don't think this necessarily works. See, I like it. And what are the tweet? What are the tweeters say? Most people seem to not like it. Yeah. And why do you like it? The more the merrier. Give me as much football as possible. If I can watch eight games at one o 'clock on Sunday and four or five games at four o 'clock on Sunday, I can handle two games on Monday night. So, you know, I have two TVs. I put one game on each TV and two is better than one for me. That's just how I feel. Yeah, I've been a little running around these last couple of Mondays when this happened. So I may be a little bit, you know, my opinion skewed a little bit by that. It hasn't just been like I'm just chilling and watching, been running around a little bit. So perhaps that's, you know, maybe I could be swayed. I will say, you know, I don't know. This is a whole separate discussion. I would love to know your take on this, but I always feel like it's a little tough sometimes to criticize people in this podcast when I also have to book this podcast. So I try to be careful. Yeah, I notice you're very soft. That's what you're trying to say. Sometimes. So I'm sure this guy will never come on again, but they gotta do better than Chris Fowler on the secondary game. Just not, it's just not working. Chris is not a great play -by -player. Right. He was a great host, studio host. Can I say one thing? Yeah. He's on tremendous tennis. Like I watch the U .S. Open every single day. I think he's great on tennis. It's football where it's just something feels off. Well, tennis is also slower. And like you look at people who do really well at the slower sports. Like, you know, Jim Nantz is better than Chris Fowler, but Nantz is really his best thing is golf. And I think he's an OK NFL play -by -player. And at the end of his college basketball run, he was definitely, I don't know, OK is probably, you know, he was OK there as well. And I think if you look at Fowler and his history, now he's been doing play -by -play for a while now. And he has gotten better. Like when he first started on the number one crew, I mean, if I were covering it then, that would not, I probably would not have been that kind. Because he has gotten better, but it's not really good enough. And he's the rare case, I think with Herb Street, that Herb Street makes him better. Usually it's the play -by -player who makes the analyst better. And yeah, I think you're right. And I also think, you know, in fairness to Fowler, you know, ESPN put that crew together. They replaced Levy there and they had a year or two under their belt together as a team. And, you know, not the full team, but him and Riddick, Levy and Riddick, and then Jadolowski. And I think they kind of don't, they underestimate chemistry. It takes time to build it up. And so I think that hurts. And he just, he's a college guy too. It's hard just to come into the NFL. I know he, you know, he's talked how hard his schedule is with the U .S. Open. And then, you know, doing a game a couple days later. And then doing a college. And so, you know, that's hard. And so, yeah, he's not a tremendous play -by -player. To me, this is just me, it felt like when ESPN gave him that gig, it was more about ESPN trying to impress the NFL. Like, look, we have our number one college game. Like you had said earlier, the secondary Monday night game for years was, you know, Golic and Greenberg and Chris Berman with a cast of character. Rich Ryan did it one year. I think this is ESPN trying to say to the NFL, because now they have a Super Bowl and they have this big contract. And, you know, they brought in Buck and Aikman. Like, we're serious, we're going to take our, regardless of what you think about Fowler, he's their lead college guy. So, I feel like they're like, oh, look at us, we're putting the lead when, you know, that. Yeah, I think they screwed up and I think they know they screwed up. I think that they ended up shifting who was in charge of the NFL. It was Stephanie Drewley. And they moved her off the NFL after, you know, I think that didn't help her cause in terms of staying on the NFL. I think they were satisfied with Levy. He was a good guy, which they value. After they brought in Joe Buck, he was very gracious. You know, Levy's a very good hockey guy, especially studio host. I thought he could have, you know, could have been the pregame show on Monday Night Football. He's in, again, not their, in my opinion, they had other people who are better play -by -players for football, but it was good. Like, so, yeah, I don't think it was to impress the NFL. They got Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. They got the Mannings. I mean, they spend, they're spending 50, 60 million dollars a year on their booths. Like, I don't think the second team booth is gonna, you know. If anything, I think it was, there was a thought before Buck and Aikman that Fallon and Herb Street might get the NFL. Might get Monday Night Football. Might get the potential Super Bowl. And then this is kind of a carrot since they didn't get it. But I'd argue, and I even talked to Chris Fowler about this. So, I don't know if this is the case. I just don't know if, I mean, Chris Fowler does the national championship. He does the biggest college game every week for Disney. I can't, like, I get it. Maybe he wanted to do NFL. But is this really gonna satisfy him because you're doing a second game, which generally aren't that great? I don't, I don't see that long -term, personally. And I think also, strategically, if I'm ESPN, I'm putting a young play -by -player. Now, Joe Buck, we both think it's great. Like, he and Ian Eagle are the best two play -by -players going right now. And, um, but, Joe Buck's contract's up in a couple of years. If I'm ESPN, and I, you know, I think they'll probably re -sign Joe Buck, and they should. That said, he makes a lot of money. And, you know, I would be saying, who can I develop? What young guy can I develop? So when I go into that negotiation, I really have somebody who's on the rise. And I can say, hey, look, you don't want this, you know, the 15 million a year? Then we'll go here, you know? But if you start demanding, I'm not saying this is going to happen, but, demanding even more and more money, I'd want an option. I don't think they've created an option. They've actually put somebody in that spot who they've already said they'd rather spend 15 million dollars on Joe Buck than have Chris Fowler as the lead play -by -player. So, I just think negotiation -wise, and strategically, in terms of saving money, it wasn't a great decision. Yeah. I don't understand the insistence on the three -person booth, either. They had Fowler, Greasy, and Riddick. Excuse me, excuse me. Levy, Riddick, Greasy. Now it's Fowler or Lofsky, Riddick. To me, that, and, Fowler's used to a two -person booth with Herb Street. They have Buck and Aikman, which is a two -person booth. I don't understand the insistence on the three -person booth. It's just, for football, it just, I don't get it, but, that's just my - It complicates, it over -complicates it. Yeah. And like you said, chemistry. I think it's much harder to develop a chemistry with three. I mean, you know, the local Mets situation is different with Gary Cohn, Ron Darl - Is it in baseball, is it football? What three men, can you name - I mean, I guess back in the old Monday Night Football days, there were three men booths that had - Yeah, Collinsworth and Aikman with Buck that one year. Yeah, one year it lasted, you know. So, I don't know. But, there's no more staggered double -headers. The next one is week 14, and both games will start at 8 -15. I think that's the one that's going to piss a lot of people off. But, that's a long way down the road. You got the two TVs. Yeah. I asked you if ESPN, how they feel about Monday Night Football. Anything you've heard about how they feel about their new partnership with Pat McAfee. I mean, it's early, but they're bullish on it. I mean, they've kind of handed the keys to the network to McAfee. I mean, you can't - it's kind of like Stephen A. now. You can't really turn on ESPN almost every day except basically Sunday without seeing Pat. And so, you know, I think initially the ratings weren't that good. I think they got a little better in terms of the TV ratings. I think that kind of makes some sense because if you think about it, he was a YouTube show. Yeah, he's got to play for TV. Yeah, and he's still a YouTube show. Well, it is a play for TV because they think that they had Max in there before. They think that the ratings will be high enough that they'll be able to charge more for the ad rates. I guarantee you the money they'll make off of McAfee on social media and YouTube will be 8 billion times more than the money they made off Max Kellerman on social media. Oh, 100%. No, you're right. No, you're right. There's no doubt about that. And look, they want to get, I will say this, like, does it work? I think a lot of times when companies make big moves, you know, big time moves, a lot of times they make those moves when the person's kind of towards the end, you know, they got McAfee on the rise. Like, you know, we, you know, you and I have been aware of McAfee for years now, but he's really like, you know, here, I don't think he's at the plateau, you know, where most people go up and then they plateau and then they go down. He's at, he's still, I think, going up and then maybe the plateau is on the horizon and you can plateau for 20, 25 years if you have the right attitude and personality and just have the right act. So that's where I think that makes a lot of sense as a bet because it's not, I'll hit one close to home, Rick Riley leaving ESPN. I mean, leaving SI for ESPN where, you know, Rick Riley is one of the great columnist ever, but at that point, you know, whatever, maybe it was the internet, I don't know exactly. It just didn't really work as well at ESPN as it did at SI. And so I just think they've done that and that's kind of, you know, teams do that in sports and I think sometimes networks do that. And so I feel like signing McAfee in his mid -30s is kind of like signing a baseball free agent who's in his mid -20s and I think that's what you want to do as opposed to getting a, signing a 35 -year -old and, you know, thinking they can still play, you know, like, I don't know, like a Josh Donaldson, maybe trading for someone like that, Jimmy. You see what I did there? I don't need reminders of the horrific Yankee season. I just did that on purpose. I don't need that. My head was going, who am I going to say? All right, yeah, Josh Donaldson, but it was a treat. Just a, yeah, you want me to say Brian Cashman should be fired. It's amazing too, they replay that. I didn't know this was going to be the situation going into it, but they replay the show as soon as it's over, I think, on ESPN 2 and then they replay it at night on maybe ESPN News or one of their, what you said about if you're going to put on one of the ESPNs at any point in the day, you're going to see Pat McAfee. Yeah. So that's good for him. Like I, you know, people feel like - But I also think, ESPN has to be, they have Aaron Rodgers on their air every week. It's a news making thing that's on their air every week. They've got Nick, he's got Nick Saban on his show every week. Yeah. That's a news making thing every week. I would think ESPN has to be, forget the numbers because the numbers, I think, will be there. It's still a new thing. You have, the ESPN audience is older, the McAfee audience is younger, it might take some, but I would think ESPN just on the brand and the cachet of that show has to be thrilled. I think so. I mean, but if you talk, like I have, again, I'll probably make some calls here in the near future, but so I haven't talked specifically with anybody about that. But generally speaking, when these things first start, everyone loves it. So then we'll see. Again, I'm not saying, I could see it either way. Like, you know, McAfee has not really stayed at any of these, throughout any of these contracts he's had. So that's something to watch. Maybe this one he does, but that hasn't been the case previously. So that is something. I think the fact that he's on game day has to help the relationship there a little bit with ESPN. Here's the thing about McAfee. If you're managing him, in my opinion, and it's like Casey Jones, the former coach of the Celtics, was known for just throwing out the ball and telling McHale, Parrish, and Bird to go play, Dennis Johnson. At least that's how I remember as a kid. That was his reputation. And I think McAfee is sort of like that. Just give him the ball, let him do his thing. He's not looking to, you know, for some strategy. Let's, you know, triangle offense. He's not looking for that. He's looking for, let me do my thing. I know what I'm doing. And the thing about McAfee is he's very smart. Like, I know he plays this, like, he's not smart thing. It works very hard. He works hard and he's very smart. He's very savvy. He acts as if, like, you know, maybe he's, you know, just a dumb jock. But he understands the media business very well. We need, we need to discuss the Kelsey Taylor Swift thing because I actually think it's a legitimate media story. If Fox is going to get these increase in their demographics of the female audience, the young people, the NFL has gone all in on this thing. I mean, they changed their Twitter header to, like, a Taylor Swift thing. They're putting out Travis Kelsey Swiftiest plays on their social media. He's gained, I guess, a ton of followers, the jersey sale. Let me start with this. How did you think Fox handled it on Sunday when she was in the stadium? Do you think they overdid it? Do you think the fact that they had an unwatchable game takes them off the hook? What was your take on the Chiefs -Bears on Sunday when she was there? I think the second part, and I wouldn't take them off the hook, but I think the second part, you have an unwatchable game that you had to switch most of the country out of because it was so non -competitive, that you have Taylor Swift there, it's a big deal. And, you know, there's a lot of Taylor Swift fans who are football fans, a lot of non -Taylor Swift fans who weren't watching that game, but it was a talking point, right? Like, I saw Taylor Swift in the concert this summer, but that was kind of - Look at you! Yeah, how do you like that? Look at you! You couldn't even get tickets. Big shot. Where'd you get tickets? My daughter's friend just won the lottery. No shenanigans. Oh, really? Tickets were $235 each, which is still a lot of money, but not, like, $1 ,000. And it was just kind of happenstance, how I ended up going. I was going to say, if your daughter's friend got tickets, how did you end up at the era's tour? I mean - Were you, like - It's just a long drive to get to the metal lands, didn't want them driving back. They're older, they can drive, but at, you know, one o 'clock in the morning from Taylor Swift, so - But you were in MetLife and watched the show. Yes. Friendship bracelets? Well, you want to know something funny? This is a good one. So, my daughter's friend said to me, do you want a - do you want a jewel? And I'm like, no, no, no, I'm okay. Thinking she's saying a jewel, like a jewel, smoke. But she was saying, like, to, like, get bedazzled, a little jewel, which I would have taken. So later, I was like, I told my daughter, I said, but your friend, she said she asked me if I wanted a jewel. She's like, no, no, she didn't say you wanted a jewel. She said, do you want a - a jewel to put some ju - you know. Right. I didn't have any bracelets, but I was into - I liked Taylor Swift. I wouldn't go again. I kind of felt bad being there, because there's people who give their left arm to be there. But it was - look, she is an unbelievable performer. I mean, it was - you could - first of all, I liked some of her songs. Secondly, the level of performance. It was just, you know, it was an A+. I mean, that - that - and that is something, even if you didn't like her music, you can appreciate it. And also, I appreciate it if I had to go to the bathroom. Easy pass right in there. No one. Right. No one's leaving their seat except for people like you who aren't in it. Yeah, and especially, yeah, and more skewed women.

PLTR shares gaining about 4 % ahead of the opening bell, so this is a data analysis firm and it has emerged as a top pick for a contract to overhaul the U .K.'s National Health Service.

We had the bird flu and what yes what came first the chicken or the egg I think we kind of know that. But if you do look at Stevens analysts they did trim the price target on that stock $45 to had previously been $47 and they are maintaining an equal weight rating on that stock and then lastly a point out Stevens is such a good Stevens is a regional investment bank I think in Arkansas really really good at what they do they really focus on a handful of industries that are kind of you know in their geographic right like I always remember them doing good stuff on trucking That kind of thing and agricultural and farmers, you know, it's just really it's a great little firm down there and then Moderna ticker symbol MRNA this was a stock we were talking about earlier this week shares up nearly 1 % pre market didn't didn't say it would begin a final stage trial of a combination of influenza and COVID vaccines later this year.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Rep. French Hill and Sen. Tom Cotton on opposing the shutdown
"Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, another gold bump in honor of Senator Goldbars Menendez. I'm joined by Representative French Hill from Arkansas. Representative Hill is one of the smart guys because he's on the Intel Committee. That's handpicked and the Republicans are always serious about that. He's also on foreign affairs and financial services. Our old friend John Campbell used to serve on financial services. That's one of the smart committees. So Representative Hill, welcome back. Good to have you. But you are a Vanderbilt grad, so we're not going to talk about football. Seriously, you lost to Wake Forest and the University of Las Vegas. Does that, how does that go down with the Commodore Nation? Well, it's we're always waiting for golf season. Congressman, the House is going to come up with a solution or the government's going to shut down. What's it going to be? Look, Hugh, if we want to be strong, if we want to lock in the wins that we got in the debt ceiling negotiation, when we put forward a plan that actually cut spending year over year, change the regulatory focus, encourage more people back into the workforce, we need to pass these 11 remaining appropriations bills. And that was not gotten to over the summer, even though now think about this, Hugh, even though each of those bills is written at a spending level below the debt ceiling deal and each one locks in conservative policies. It's really so frustrating to me that those have been delayed from coming to the House floor, including twice over the last week by a handful of members when they're missing this big picture. Lock in the wins, cut spending, reduce regulations, get more people back in the workforce, get the spotlight back on Joe Biden's failures and off of the House. Congressman Hill, I don't expect you to speak ill of a colleague, but I can. Congressman Gates wants to be governor of Florida. Congressman Maryland native Matt Rosendale wants to be senator from Montana. Ralph Norman, Congressman Ralph Norman wants to be senator from South Carolina. Going to run against Lindsey Graham. And Congressman Dan Bishop wants to be the attorney general of North Carolina. So I understand self -interest. Those guys have no interest in governing. But do they really want to bring down the Republican majority? Because they're going to get crushed if they do this. Right. But by this kind of of tactic, you're going to end up with a Biden Schumer clean debt ceiling deal and with spending levels, certainly at the Biden McCarthy level, but weaker policy, weaker policies. Because in order to be the strongest negotiator, get the most conservative win, we need to pass the appropriations bills. That's why McCarthy's plan this week of trying to get the rest of the bills across the floor, at least 70 percent of discretionary spending, plus plus a four week short term stopgap spending measure measure that cut spending, repeat cut spending for that one month and put border in the spotlight by putting H .R. two on. There is no conservative that should vote no on that. And this is just arguing against ourselves. It's a huge mistake. Now, Congressman Hill, I call him now St. Kevin. I've known the speaker for a long time, and now I'm going to have him nominated to be considered for sainthood because that is a difficult caucus to deal with. When you've got four members who are leading the Nuckelhead caucus and my buddy Ken Buck wants a CNN contract, there really isn't any appeal to their self -interest. How do you move them? I mean, are you going to have to use Democrat votes? And can and can Speaker McCarthy remain speaker if he uses Democrat votes? Well, I think that's what we have to try every single day to put a bill on the floor and find out that, as you say, this small group is the tyranny of the tiny, as I describe it, is violating the majority of the majority because they're going to hurt the conservative cause. They'll cause us to lose the House. And that's certainly not in the interest of the conservative cause when we're on the cusp, potentially of beating Biden in the presidential election and winning the Senate back. It's ridiculous. You know, if former President Trump gets reelected and the House switches to Democrats, they will impeach him in the first week. Do these allegedly Trump supporting congressmen. And it's Norman. It's Maryland native Matt Rosendale is running for Senate in Montana. It's Ralph Norman and it's Matt. Have they heard from the former president that he wants to be impeached again because they sure are acting like they want him impeached again? Well, look, they don't even they spend what he says now. President Trump last week said use the power of the purse to get control of Joe Biden's two trillion dollars of extra spending. I agree. That's what the debt ceiling does. And that's what these spending bills do. And that's why we have to get them across the House floor. He did not say he Trump did not say shut the government down and act like knuckleheads. He said, use the power of the purse to get the most conservative deal. Get this country back on track. I agree. That's what we could do if we had those four people assist us get these bills across the floor this week. Well, I just their their incentives are to get ink. And I mean, their incentives are not the incentives to govern. And I don't know how hot it gets in the caucus. Can you tell us that our members of the caucus about had it with these guys? There's nothing you can do because they're running for statewide office. But if they had it and expressed it. Well, I think they have had it and expressed it in blunt terms, including calling them out that if you vote against the rule on the House floor, you're working with the minority party. You're working with Democrats when you do that. That is not acting as a member of the majority. And I think you're seeing the country respond to look at Moody's comments yesterday, look at the VIX up to day three percent. Look at the 10 year Treasury rate up over four point five percent. This is going in the wrong direction when we should be taking a win right now of cutting spending 24 over 23, getting better rules and regulations in place, countering Joe Biden's bad policies. And as I say, encouraging more people back to work through our welfare reforms. These are classic conservative Republican wins. And we're squandering the opportunity. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is kind of a Republican specialty in the House. So let's let's focus on that for a moment. When do you get a test vote today or tomorrow on whether or not the four will move or they will stay for? They've got more than four right now, but you've got serious people like Chip Roy are not playing these games. Will the Freedom Caucus bring whatever persuasive influence they have to bear on them? Well, we're going to bring a rule. The rules committee met Friday and all day Saturday, so we'll be bringing a rule up either tonight or early in the morning. That will be the first test case to see if we can move these spending bills, which includes state and foreign operations spending, which is at one point seven billion below twenty nineteen levels.

Level After Next With Katie Barnett
Ann Carden Describes How a $15 Box Started a Thriving Business
"Was this business that started it all? Well, it's probably not anything anyone expect would expect. But there was a little store in town. The craft industry was exploding across the country. This was like in nineteen ninety one and the craft industry was exploding. And I had a box of stuff. I had always been kind of crafty and creative. And I used to use it like when my son was born, I fixed up his nursery and I did cute little things for his nursery. And I was just always very creative like that. And it was a good stress reliever for me. So I loved being that doing those things. And I had this box of stuff. It was probably worth fifteen dollars. And I thought, I wonder if I can make some of this stuff. And there's a little store in town. And I know that she does consignment. You can put things in there. And if she sells them, you you get a she'll take a percentage, but you get the money. So I put together some little crafty things and called her and asked if she would put them in her store. And she said, sure, bring them in. I went in and took him in and she looked at him and she said, I'm not sure these are going to sell, but I will put them in. So after two weeks, nothing sold. So I went back in and I said, tell me what's selling. And she said, these rabbit dolls, these crafty rabbit dolls that people used for decorations. And I thought, oh, my gosh, a rabbit doll. She said, I can't keep them on the shelves. And they were beautiful. They were very pretty. And I thought, I have no idea how to make a rabbit doll. So I went looked at a lot of patterns and just got ideas from all these different places. And I borrowed my mom's sewing machine and I set out to make my own rabbit doll. I made a couple of them, took them into her store and she said, oh, my gosh, these are going to these are going to blow off the shelves. And they did. So long story short, that turned into a global business that I did for seven years. I was able to employ a lot of other moms, which was awesome, because now I got to help out a lot of other families. So they were doing doll parts and sewing dresses and doing all of these things. I did more than rabbits as time went on. But there was a Noah's Ark fabric that came out during that time. And I got the idea I could do a Noah's Ark line. I could do lions and giraffes. And and so I created all my own designs. And before long, they were all numbered and signed. And I had people waiting for the collection. And I remember shipping. I remember the day I got an order from Iceland. It was just it was so cool. They ended up on the cover of an international craft magazine, which they were selected. I couldn't buy the cover. So it turned out to be a really incredible business. And I had stores. I was in stores. They weren't my own stores, but I had space in stores all across the country. Many, many locate many states. And yeah, I was running a manufacturing company out of my home to make a long story short. Unbelievable, unbelievable. And I get it because I remember very my mom started her own business making. Do you remember those big thick blankets that had the pictures all over them with like the fringes? So she made jackets out of those. Oh, yeah. She just needed a little bit more for my age. Yeah. And my aunt at the time was making kilties like for like golf shoes. And so I just I but I love it because you took it to another level and I love it's beautiful that it got to, you know, help employ others. But like, man, what a rush for it to just explode the way that it did. And then you I mean, you've had you've built seven successful businesses. Yes. So I have a media company and then I have my coaching and consulting business. Yes. So yeah, but you know, the thing is, it's so it's so funny, you know, when you're in it, you're just doing the thing, right? You're just trying to make it grow and you're just doing the thing. And and I was just doing what I knew to do. It's like I was putting one step in front of the other. And OK, this is taking off. I'm making more money. How can I do more? And that was just really how I did things. So it wasn't like I now I teach people have a plan, have a strategy. I didn't have that. I just I'm going to do this and I'm going to see the drive. Yeah. But, you know, the interesting thing is and again, that was over 30 something years ago, I was making a six figure income, not revenue, but a six figure income. I mean, it literally it changed our lives.
The Plant Movement Podcast
What Can YOU Do to Bring in Money Quickly?
"So the other thing I always like to focus on when money's tight, aside from lifelines and stuff like that, is what can I do to bring in money quick? Like what can I do to bring in money quick? So if you have inventory, you can do fire sales. Fire sales is always something positive that might bring a customer to buy that one item. I wouldn't put the whole nursery up for sale, but I would do a specific item. So let's say you have an item that you did 3000 of they haven't moved. They're getting big and you're selling them at market price right now. Drop it, drop it. 25%. Oh, Willie, you're crazy. Drop it 25%. Because what that can do is bring somebody in for that item. They see everything else by you being savvy, positive, you know, moving forward. And now you tell them, Hey, I know you came for this one item, but can I show you the other items real quick? Give me two minutes, throw them on the golf cart or put them in your truck or do whatever you got to do and show them everything else you have. Now that might open other doors for them to spend money on other things that you're not, let's say putting on sale and it comes down to advertising and marketing. I know in this industry, people don't put budgets for that. That's not a thing. If you're a grower, jump on plan. And on the plan and episode that we did, they were talking about how people were complaining that they were spending $60 a month in advertising. Guys, advertising is your lifeline. That is a major, major lifeline. So some of the things that we do here, what are the things we do here? We do email campaigns. We use the social media platforms. They are free F R E E. It just takes a second of your day to think. So right now, if you're a landscaper right now, stop right now, stop right now and go do a video. If you're a grower right now, listening to this, when you get to the nursery, go do a video, go film the guys planting, go show what you have. Put a name, put it on a story, make a post, send it out. If you're scrolling on IG and you see somebody that can benefit your life, someone that you can benefit theirs with the services you provide, send them a DM. Today, I encourage you all to do that right now. Yeah. Why are people not sending lists? Like if you see a company that's pumping and pumping product, why don't you send them what you have? That way they can purchase from you guys. It's not hard.
Mutually CoDopendent
A highlight from Renee and Their Labels
"Hey guys, welcome to Mutually Codependent, I'm Jen. And I'm Adam. And today we have a very special guest. Welcome Renee to the show. Hello. Hello. Hello. Should we get a little button so we could have like applause? Yeah, a little soundboard. Yeah, yeah. It's lonely in my head without that stuff. It's much quieter with meds. So Renee is the store manager for our Round Rock store. They are affiliated with our store. So it's not just a random person, but that's cool. It would be weird. Store manager Round Rock, how long? It's been over a year, April. April is a year late manager being here. Oh, being manager. No, I made manager in December last year. Yeah. So when I started working from home. Yeah. It was around that time. But you've been with us a year and a half. Yeah. Yeah. It's goes by so fast these days. I really felt like the other day was just like, oh, it's Renee's one year anniversary. No, it's that's a while away now. I think you started the end of March. So there's the strain of the show so that we have the the justification for the smoking, which I already started. Hold on. Hold on. I got. Oh, that was the box of matches falling. Renee's too Renee's good for the lighters. I taste the butane. I don't know how to also describe it. I had a friend who turned me on to using matches. You wait for the little little bulb to burn. You wait till it gets to the wood and it's virtually tasteless. So I started using matches a lot more since you came over the first time. But I did think that it was funny because we had this like disco. Oh, yeah, you can taste the butane. I'm like, oh, I know what I'd like to do to avoid the taste of butane in my mouth. I'd like to make sure there's at least four or five seconds of very sharp sulfur in my nose before. Because because that's better. I mean, what is these days? What is what is? I just always I make the mistake of lighting the match when it's right under my nose. So if I were to just fix that, it's it's the sort of you try. You strike it away from yourself. I had to learn the hard way to where I was just like, whoo. Shit. Well, we aren't supposed to like the smell of matches lighting. Well, not right under your nose and not as a replacement for the subtle taste of butane. I mean, but I think it's like cilantro. If you taste it, you taste it. If you don't, you don't. So I'm not judging. I'm just being a shit. I mean, when you're not. So what we're what we're smoking straight to the show, the strain of the show today is jelly rancher. Um, jelly rancher. This is brought to you by actually, I think this is hemp living. Hemp living. There we go. It's one of the brands that we sell in the store and it is available online, I believe, as well. Jelly rancher is known as a sativa. That is 26 percent THC, a considered a sativa dominant hybrid. It's been described as happy, giggly, focused feeling with notes of berries and citrus. Beta -cariophalina is the main terpene, which is the same terpene that's in black pepper and cinnamon. It's it's a little peppery. Did you just fucking? I just dropped my cherry on the. You just dumped your cherry into the ashtray. I didn't mean to. Incense, incense. So scoop it up. Scoop it up. I don't know if that's possible. So don't don't use your finger. We have tools. We're humans. We have a lot of lead. If you know that one dies, you can just like your pre -roll. We'll probably do that. Stoners. Hey, one problem at a time. Yeah, if anything, we're we're true engineers. True engineers. Well, you said did I show you the pictures of those like super old like methods of smoking? No, that I found when I was doing the research for the Bastrop thing. No, it's pretty fucking cool. Yeah, it's basically they they carved out a hole in a. Like a like a log, I guess. And they would heat up rocks and put the rocks on the cannabis, so they'd stuff the hole full of cannabis. Like imagine it was like, I don't know, a couple inches in diameter. Like golf ball would fit in it. Right. And it was like a segment of a branch with the golf ball size hole pulled out of it. Shove a bunch of weed in there and then take stones that were heated from the fire and drop them on top. Yeah. So they were literally vaping it. Yeah. It was like old old school vaping technique. Does remind me of the time when I was actually first introduced to weed. It was at a party. And they smoked through an apple. I've done that. Yeah, they cut a hole top and bottom, put some foil on it and and went to town. I mean, I didn't smoke because I was a goody two shoes back then. But, you know, we change. We evolve. Yeah. You know, the thing about people is we can change our beliefs based on our experiences. Yeah. Truly pattern seeking if we choose to. I saw a guy in TikTok the other day smoke weed out of a headrest from a car and a car like still. Yes. And so, yeah, like he took it off. He opened he put he put his weed like down the hole of the metal on one side. Like it was his joint. So he put his joint down one side, like down. And then he just I don't something how he like breathed in through the other side and he was able to smoke. How carcinogens many do you think it was so stupid? So the headrest, oh, the head rest of your car, pulling off the headdress the two holes are and using the actual chair itself, because that sounds like a great idea to be a car made in the 70s full of asbestos. His friend was like, if you were a loved one who suffers from mesothelioma, I miss my popcorn ceilings, OK? Oh, we have popcorn ceiling looked up, actually. So we have modern popcorn ceiling. So it's not as best as terrible. I just think it's fine. I just see you look up as soon as I say that. Oh, somebody was talking about it before and she was like, was it Jackie telling us to get rid of it? I don't know. You got to get rid of your popcorn. I was like, no, then it echoes. And they're like, yeah, but it's OK. No, it's not. No, we're good. We don't own this house. So we put together a list of things to talk about. Yeah, I guess we could read it. Well, we could just kind of go through it. Yeah, we could keep the audience on edge. Keep them on edge. Hey, are you on edge? Stormy. Stormy. Lily Reagan.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Mike Signorelli
"Trump calls Florida heartbeat bill a terrible mistake, and Mike Pence talks war with Russia. So I think if you will allow me to speak critically of Donald Trump for five minutes, I will speak critically. No, no, no, no. Look, you know, and I know, everybody listens who to this program knows that I don't think Trump is perfect. I think he ought to be the next president. And I think that, as you know about me and about many people listening to this program, that we are radically pro -life. We think it's a moral issue. And I think that Trump has made, I think he misspoke. I think it was, I don't know. Well, talk about it so people understand what we're talking about. Donald Trump went on face the nation and said that the heartbeat bill Ron DeSantis bravely signed in Florida was a terrible thing, a terrible mistake. And he said that he wouldn't commit to supporting any kind of federal restriction on the taking of unborn life. And he said with characteristic real estate bravado, well, I'm going to have policies that are going to make everybody happy. Everybody's going to walk away happy from the table. That is not how things work. When you're talking about life and death issues, Mr. President, that is how things might work. If you're negotiating over ownership of a golf course. All right. All right. Each of you is going to get nine holes. Okay. You'll each get nine holes. It's wonderful. You got, you've got half a golf course, half a loaf is better than none. But we remember from the story of Solomon, half a baby is not better than none. In this case, we're talking about cutting the baby in half. Literally we're talking about should abortion, should the pro -life position be, we want a bad abortion after maybe 15 weeks, which would only get rid of maybe 8 % of the abortions in America. If that's the pro -life position, it's not worth a damn thing. That's the law in Germany. That's the law in France. That's the law in Belgium. All these countries where euthanasia is now taking over. Having a 10 week, a 15 week abortion ban solves absolutely nothing. It just means the women who are so dopey, they don't even know they're pregnant until like 18 weeks won't be able to get abortions. That's all it means. He's really just punishing the stupid. It's not saving a significant number of babies. I don't know who Trump is getting his advice from on the abortion issue, but they're not on our side. They are like the Jared Kushner. They're not on our side. What Trump is saying is a complete loser position. It's like saying we're going to build the wall. We're going to build the wall with the Mexican border, except every 20 feet there's going to be a gap. We'll get most of the wall built. There'll guess who will come. I think a couple of things need to be said. First of all, I already said it. Trump is not perfect. So he often has done things that I think are harmful to himself. And saying that I think just politically is a mistake. But we also have to say without a doubt he has been the most pro -life president we ever had in this country. Because of him and standing up for Kavanaugh, Roe v. Wade was overturned. I want to remind people of that. I also want to remind people that he spoke at the March for Life. No other president had done that. And so right now, I guess I find everything with him, not everything, but a lot of stuff just funny. It's almost like he'll say anything Ron DeSantis says, he'll say the opposite. I know. You could be triggered and tripped into that. And it's his Achilles heel that whatever Trump, whatever DeSantis says, Trump will somehow try to spin it. Trump even said that Andrew Cuomo did a better job on COVID than Ron DeSantis. That is literally the most insane thing any American politician has said since Jefferson Davis said I want to secede from the union. It's up to that level of crazy. But Trump, I mean Trump does this stuff for effect. In other words, for political effect to drive people crazy. That's why I guess I find it at least partially entertaining that he'll go out on a limb and say something like that just to trigger DeSantis. The problem is this stuff isn't cute. There were thousands of people murdered in those nursing homes in New York. Abortion isn't cute. This is not something funny. This is not like letting Jared and Ivanka turn the White House into their own little party hut. This is really serious. And our only leverage over Trump is right now during the primaries. If he gets the nomination, he can do whatever he wants because he will be elected president unless they assassinate him, which I do not put past that. I do not put that past the deal. Oh, I know that there have been attempts that we haven't heard about, but obviously they would do anything to get rid of him. We have our leverage now, especially before the Iowa caucus. Trump needs to be told if you keep saying this weak, rhino, wimpy garbage about abortion, maybe we'll hold our noses and vote for you against Joe Biden because we don't want to be put in prison camps. But we're not going to go to the mattresses for you. We're not going to go to the wall for you. We're not going to be fanatical, devoted supporters. We will hold our nose and vote for you the way we held our noses and voted for George W. Bush. Do you want to be the next George W. Bush? Well, no, John, I think it's worse than that. I think what will happen, what will happen is many evangelicals, pro -life evangelicals simply won't vote, which I think is an unbelievable mistake because they feel it's principled not to vote for Trump because he said this about what DeSantis's view. On the other hand, let him think that and maybe it's true and let him act accordingly. It's like if we are so on the reservation, Eric, that they know they have our votes no matter what they do, the Republican Party will keep treating evangelicals and pro -lifers the way the Democratic Party treats blacks. That is, you have no choice where you're going to go, take whatever scraps we throw you. So no, I think it's good. Let him be a little afraid that we will go off the reservation. No, that's why I just said that. That's why I just said that. In other words, I actually believe that that's true because when you look at what happened in the last number of elections, there are many evangelicals who are so pious in the negative sense that they would say, I'm just going to sit home and I'm not going to vote because Trump had three wives and I'm going to let Hillary Clinton or Satan or Adolf Hitler take over America because I'm so pious that I won't pull the lever for somebody who doesn't agree with me on everything or who puts out mean tweets or says things I disagree with. That is effectively how we got Biden because we didn't have a serious situation that we're in. On the other hand, Mike Pence is saying that unless we give long range missiles to Ukraine so it can kill lots of Russians, we'll have to go to war with Russia because it will invade Poland. So in order to avoid war, we have to fight a war. It's exactly what George W. Bush said about Iraq, that we have to fight the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them over here so they won't do 9 -11 again. Now we know now Iraq had nothing to do with 9 -11. It had no weapons of mass destruction. So he lied us into the Iraq war. In Vietnam, they told us we had to fight the Vietnam war so that the communists wouldn't take over Japan and then Hawaii. The whole domino theory is something that warmongers and the military contractors they work for, they whip it out every time they want to get us in a useless war. They say, well, remember Neville Chamberlain? Remember 1938? And I always say, remember August, 1914, when they blundered into World War I and destroyed all three of the main governments involved in it, all based on nothing, based on lies, based on garbage. Sometimes it's November, September, 1938. Sometimes it's August, 1914. And you're the idiot warmonger about to plunge the world into destruction because of your silly fantasies private about being a big man. Mike Pence is one of those warmongers and he's very dangerous right now. There's never enough time to talk to you, my friend. We'll get you back as soon as possible. Thank you, folks. We'll be right back. Thank you. For 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only, trust me, they're the only one.

The Café Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Store of Value and Proof of Work with Ben Justman, Founder of "Peony Lane Wine" - September 18th, 2023
"Hello, and welcome to the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast brought to you by Swan Bitcoin, the best way to buy and learn about Bitcoin. I'm your host, Alex Danson, and we're excited to announce that we're bringing the Cafe Bitcoin Conversations Twitter Spaces to you on this show, the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast, Monday through Friday every week. Join us as we speak to guests like Michael Saylor, Len Alden, Corey Clifston, Greg Foss, Tomer Strohle, and many others in the Bitcoin space. Also, be sure to hit that subscribe button. Make sure you get notifications when we launch a new episode. You can join us live on Twitter Spaces Monday through Friday, starting at 7 a .m. Pacific and 10 a .m. Eastern every morning to become part of the conversation yourself. Thanks again. We look forward to bringing you the best Bitcoin content daily here on the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast. All right, all right. Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Happy Monday. It is time for another awesome week in Bitcoin. Man. It is so cool getting up on a Monday morning. You know, most people are like, oh, God, it's another Monday. They don't even want to get out of bed. They're dragging ass. They're like, oh, but Bitcoiners are like, let's go. All right. Good morning to all of you, Lisa. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Mickey. Morning. Good morning. Don Bay Terrence. Good morning to all of you. Shout outs to my cobart in the audience. Joe Carla. Sorry. Hi, guys. Alex, the other Alex, there is another Alex. Alex talks tweets. She works at Swan. Shout out to you. You're welcome to come up. She does some amazing stuff. I'm not there's other people in the audience here who work for Swan. I'm not going to talk to you because you guys have some semi names. I don't know. Anyway, morning, Jacob as well. Welcome back from your golf excursion or the weekend. Tone vase morning there on you an invite. I just found out I'm on a panel with tone vase for Pacific Bitcoin. I'm moderating tone vase and Pierre Richard and Jimmy song. That's awesome. And I guess our mission is to talk about shit coins. So for whatever that's worth. All right. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin episode four hundred and thirty six. Shout outs to our supporters on Fountain and Noster Nests. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach the other seven billion people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange feature we call Bitcoin. Today's show, we're going to be discussing BTC performance versus other assets. There's a tweet Saylor put out with a really interesting chart. We'll be talking about that. United States interest payments are at insane levels and the near perfect energy arbitrage of Bitcoin later today. We have Ben Justman from Penny Lane Wine coming on the show. Very excited. He's an example of the Bitcoin circular economy. So you've got people who are craftsmen making really fine high end things and they're selling them directly to big winners. And man, I love to see it because this is the future. Like we're moving away from this entire consumer rush, rush, rush, get on the hamster wheel, make money that is constantly devaluing and then spend it on shit that you're going to replace one month or one year from now because it's garbage. But that's the entire consumer economy system. It's insane. But Bitcoin is switching that. I think we're going to flip this thing completely on its head. How long will it take? I have no idea. But I think it's coming. Anybody have any opening comments you want to make before we start digging in here? Just that the coffee and the Bitcoin charts are hitting hard this morning. So let's go. Yeah, what's up with that? I saw there was something like, I don't remember the exact stat, but the open interest has is skyrocketing, I guess. We went from twenty six, what is this, five ish to twenty seven thousand two hundred and thirty ish per Bitcoin right as of right now this morning. Lisa Huff, what did you do? You know, I missed the days when Bitcoin was actually volatile, like I am excited to see that it moved and I was also excited to see that it moved down last week. But as for me personally, Alex, what you said is correct. Bitcoiners were ready to get up and do it. And in the last several months, I have, because of Bob Burnett's lovely wife, Lola, I heard a comment that she said she made about health and fitness. She said you have to approach it like it is your lifestyle. Yeah, kind of kind of changes things up. I'm raring to go at like five o 'clock in the morning. Start workout, just went to Pilates. That's my whole life story, guys. Now you know it. Nice. I like it. I think it's awesome. Like I've shifted also because now I'm on the East Coast. So the showtime starts differently for me now. And I have time first thing in the morning, get up and go do physical things. And man, it's it's been amazing. It's been awesome. You've got to exercise for life to keep your life long and healthy. It is a lifetime thing. And finding something that you enjoy doing while you exercise is critical to that. Personally, since I'm on the West Coast, I make my bed and it's a successful day before Cafe Bitcoin. And I am not qualified to discuss anything, just so everybody knows. It's all good. Shout out to Mike Germano in the audience, throwing you an invite if you would like to come up here and obligation to do so. Alex, good morning. Welcome. I think this is the first time you've been up here now. Hey, good morning, everybody. Yeah. Thanks for inviting me up. This is a lot of fun. I'm always listening while changing diapers in the morning and doing the whole mom thing before I clock in. So thanks for having me. Yeah. What are you excited about in Bitcoin and with Swan and with everything? What are you excited about? Wow. That's a loaded question. But I mean, short term, I am stoked on Pacific Bitcoin coming up. I sent out an email blast this weekend. Hopefully many of you guys received it. And I heard you mention your panel, Alex. And the description in the email of that panel is... So the title is Shitcoin Slayers, but that's pretty awesome. And basically, shitcoiners are shaking in their boots and stand no chance against Alex, Tone Vays, Jimmy, Pierre. There'll definitely be some fighting words and not some subtle jabs. It's going to be an awesome talk. Yeah, just a lot of good stuff in the pipeline for PB. Hope to see you guys there. Tone Vays, good morning. We're on a panel together. Good morning. Yeah, I saw that in the email that you were sending that over. Yeah, so that's great. Do you guys know which day that would be? That first day or second day? I have no idea. I just literally just found out myself because I got the email just like everybody else. It's funny, right? They're like, they don't even tell me. Yeah, no, it's good. I actually tweeted out just last night. Ethereum had a brand new weekly low 12 -month close against Bitcoin. And that is a very weak TA symbol for Ethereum. And it's already going down a little bit today as well. So I think, yeah, shitcoins are in a bit of trouble. But the weird thing is, though, have you guys seen what is going on over in Singapore right now with token 2049, which pretty much has become the biggest shitcoin conference in the world? It is crazy. That conference is so scary to me. It tells me that shitcoiners still have an unreasonable amount of money. And maybe the bear market's not over yet. I don't know if anyone's seen the party videos from there. No. What I wonder about is, in this next cycle, are they tapping Asia? Are you going to see a lot of shitcoin conferences over in Asia? And are they going to be gigantic? Oh, I was going to just say probably. But the scary thing is that that conference was massive. And they're renting out sweets with the best views of the... Let's get some context. Let's get some context. What do you mean by massive? What does this mean? What does massive mean to you? Numbers? Do you have an idea of a number of attendees kind of thing? I don't. I'm assuming 5 ,000 to 10 ,000 people. I wasn't going to watch that much. But it was like the after party, right? Like renting out the most expensive restaurant in Singapore. Getting front row seats or the best views of F1, a race that was happening the day after the event. If you just do the hashtag token2049 and just look at their after parties, I don't think anyone really cares. It seemed like a borderline Bitcoin 2022 or one of their older ones. It was insane. And based on how well the shitcoin community is doing, I'm like, man, this bear market may not be over yet. Well, Tone, they're long on other people's fiat, but that tells me they're short on their own tokens. That's why they're spending so hard. It's possible. Is Ethereum ever going to make new highs against Bitcoin? Nope. No, no way. And I said that on a show. I was on Ben Cohen's podcast and a lot of his audience is apparently shitcoiners. And I said that no shitcoin has ever made a new high versus Bitcoin in the following bull market of Bitcoin. Like it's never happened. Actually, I did find one exception. That exception was Doge. But that's because of Elon Musk. It's not because of anything Doge did. And BNB, right? No, BNB never really pumped in the 2017 market because it was just launching then. So BNB's high is the 2021 bull market, and that will never be surpassed. In the case of Ethereum, it's the 2017 bull market. In the case of Litecoin, it's the 2013 bull market. So if a token has been around for like a full year before the bull market, that is its ultimate high. Like it never breaches it. Ethereum will never break its 2017 high. No way.

Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Ep. 116 - Talking About The Music Of 1977
"Well, here we are. Episode 116. On the march to 200 and beyond. And on this episode, I have the Wrecking Two with me, Mark Smith and Luke Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. And we're going to be talking about the year 1977, and music, and some movies, some news flashbacks maybe. Interesting, yeah. I say it was the beginning of the end of the 70s. Yeah. So sit back, relax, get yourself some Acapulco Gold or some Panama Red, break open a bottle of Rianini Limbrusco, sit back, relax, and enjoy 1977 all over again. The KLFB Studio presents Milk Crate and Turntables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now, let's talk music. Enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction, as usual. I got a little FaceTime from young Amanda this afternoon. So I'm sitting there just kind of chilling. Oh, my little girl's calling me. She calls me. And hi. I'm like, what's up, little girl? She just kind of looks and says, can I see the cats? Oh, yeah, that's my life. She don't miss me. Misses the cats. Anyway, welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. And welcome to the podcast. Do you know the name of it? So I'm not going to say it. We're streaming live right now over YouTube, Twitch, Twitter. It's Twitter, formerly known as Twitter X, whatever, a lot of them all over the place. It's going to be a good show tonight. It's going to be a good show. In the intro, I mentioned Acapulco Gold. And speaking of Acapulco Gold, it's Luke Aleccio from the Music Relish show. No stems, no seeds that you don't need. Acapulco Gold is... There you go, buddy. That's a blast. That's sweet. Let me give you some of that, buddy. Thank you. Yeah. A little teaching charm for you. Enough of that. And speaking of Panama Red, it's Mark Smith from the Music Relish. Chardonnay Gold. Instead of Acapulco Gold, he's got the Chardonnay Gold. Yeah. As usual. What's up, gentlemen? How you doing, gentlemen? Good. How are you? Doing all right. Doing all right. Yeah. Hey, you know who I don't miss? Who? I really don't miss Jimmy Buffett. Let's start off the show on a... He's a cynic. I don't miss him. I don't miss him. I'm not going to miss Jimmy Buffett. I really jumped on that bandwagon. Never really got it. Me neither. To me, it's not a bandwagon thing. It's something where I knew there's two or three songs and more steel drums, really more steel drums. But things I've heard, you know, scanning through Margaritaville radio, there was some pretty good stuff. You know, like nothing going to change your world, but you know... It's not my type of music. No, I'm not a parrothead. And I think his concerts were his big, like the Grateful Dead, you know? The concert is what it is. The experience. Yeah. Right? The Jimmy Buffett experience. I guess so. Yeah. It was his motif, you know, escapism kind of, you know. But he did spawn that horrible genre of golf and western music. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather sit in the parking lot with a cooler of beers and a hibachi and listen to the pretenders. Yeah. Did Jimmy ever tour with the dead? Is there really a fuck up with the dead? That would have been a huge crowd, though. Boy, that's the mellowest concert ever. Dead parrotheads. Dead parrotheads. I think he's more of that mellow west coast. I think I could see him touring with the Eagles or James Taylor, I think, more now. He's some Key West buddy. Don't put him on the left coast. No, no, no. He's a Key West man. He was his own entity. Actually, he moved from the Key West. He didn't live there for a long time. Right. But his studio was there. His studio was right next to his bar, right like connected to his studio. Yeah. So that's where he would go. I remember when I worked U .S. Customs behind the scenes at Miami International, he had his own private jet. It would come up from, I guess, the Keys, but he didn't travel in just anything. It would be like, because if you have your own jet, you have a parking spot. You would have a bus. You would have a bus, like a tour bus would take him from Key West. It is from Miami. It's about a two hour drive. So you're going to do it in luxury, but everything's good with you guys. Hot. Yeah. Too damn hot up here in New York. It's hot as Bono's whatever was balls in the back of my neck. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like this. I want winter. Did Lou freeze up? Oh, no. There we go again. The pressure's on me. I got to be Lou. You've got to be Lou. Let me get this brain. I've got to be Lou. I've got to be Lou. Then there he goes. He's off the screen. Ten minutes. Let's set the timer. Set the timer. Will he break ten minutes? Will he come back on under ten minutes? Let's see. I'm starting it. See? I got the timer going there. All right. All right. Well, we're talking about 1977. I was old, but eight years old. So, I was, let me see, probably 12 going on 13, I think, right? I'm 59 now, so you're what, 56? 53. 53? Yeah. And you were eight? Yeah. I was born in 1969. So, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Yeah. That was right. 13. Well, 12, 13. Yeah. Yeah. I think I was beginning. I was a freshman. I was a freshman. Although, where I grew up, the freshman didn't go to the high school. That was only 10, 11, and 12. Ninth grade was at its own building. Oh. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, 1977, interesting year. Yeah. A lot happened. Yeah. As I said in the intro, I think 1977 was the beginning of the end of the 70s. Yeah. Things were really starting to change. I think disco still had a little bit of a hold, but I think that was the tail end of disco, and it was the beginning of punk, and so there was a transition. That's where, I think, right there is where it started. So, let's get right into 77, as I usually do. I'm starting to like this little format. Yeah. Year by year. And it makes a long podcast, but hey, listen, we're in it for the ride with whoever's listening. We're in it for the ride. January 1st, 1977, The Clash headlined the opening night of London's only punk rock club. You know the name of that club? No. The Roxy. Another Roxy. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So, let's start right off with stories. So, I get off the plane at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. So, 10 years later, right? 10 years later, 87, I get off the plane. My buddy's there, meets me. It lands right on the base. They called it the freedom bird because the turnaround flight was taking people home, right? I get, you know, they bring me back to temporary quarters. I get changed. My buddy's like, let's go. And we go off base. And it is absolutely insane. Like, you can't even imagine the sounds and sights and the energy. And yeah, I can always say, like, if you saw Deer Hunter when Robert De Niro goes back to Saigon, you know, and it's like just that motor, little motorcycles driving by and it's a dirt road. The main street is a dirt road. And this was your first time in the Philippines? In the Philippines. Yeah. It's stationed there. And my buddy says to me, he says, all right, listen, when you go into these bars, you got to act like you've done it before. Oh, come on. I grew up in Boston. I run the streets. I was in the subways. Of course I can. I walk in the first bar I walk into, The Roxy. It's called The Roxy, right? And I just, first thing you see is a bar, a U -shaped bar, right? Big U -shaped bar. The music is just cranking. I think it was like Motley Crue or something just cranking. And right in the middle of that, running right down the center of that Horseshoe bar was a stage and there had to be 15 girls up there just dancing. Like go -go girls type thing. Uh -huh. In bikinis. I was like, what the fuck? Oh, shit. And then I order a beer and the bartender is this Filipino girl. She looks, she says, first thing she says to me, you cherry boy. Cherry boy. Meaning I'm new. And I said, I looked at my buddy. I said, how does she know? He says, it's in your eyes. You're just staring around. They see it in your eyes. Yeah. They know that look. And the rest, as they say, is history.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from David Friedman (Encore)
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here, in just about two minutes, the bust of point C will be coming right by. And now, here's your Ralph Cramden of the Airways, Eric Metaxas! Hey there, folks. Very special show today. My guest is David Friedman. He served as the U .S. Ambassador to Israel under President Donald Trump. He is a Nobel Prize nominee and National Security Medal recipient for his efforts in helping secure the historic Abraham Accords. He's also the best -selling author of a number of books. David Friedman, welcome. Eric, thank you so much. Great to be with you. I had the privilege last week of being at Bedminster National Golf Club with the President and a number of pastors, where you came on Skype or Zoom and gave a presentation on the thing we're going to talk about today. And I was so excited in hearing about it, and I thought, I get to interview you about this right now. So before we get into your background, because I want to, let's just start with the headline. There's a film coming out. Just talk briefly about that, and then we'll kind of backtrack. Sure. Well, the film is called Route 60, the Biblical Highway. And it is not just about a road, although it tracks this road, which is the biblical spine of Israel. It begins in Nazareth, ends in Beersheba. It's 146 miles long. And I would say that around 90 percent of all the Bible stories that you and I might be familiar with either happened along that road or within a few kilometers in either direction. When I heard you talk about this last week, you didn't know I was in the room, but as I heard you talk about this, I thought, I'm always amazed when I'm hearing something hugely important that I've not heard before. And so you're sharing this stuff, and I'm just kicking myself. I'm thrilled and I'm kicking myself. How is it possible that I didn't know this? Because what you shared is utterly central to history, utterly central to the history of Israel.
RADCast Outdoors
A highlight from Faith in the Great Outdoors: Pete Rogers Inspirational Journey
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by P .K. Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey, RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. This is RadCast Outdoor. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. Well, hello and welcome, guys, to another episode of RadCast Outdoors. I'm super excited. We have Patrick fresh off the road. He's in the studio once again. Whirlwind of a life, huh? Yep, back in the hot seat, ready to do some more podcasting, though. We have full -time lives and jobs and families, so it's still awesome to get to sit down, do these episodes, get into topics that, and meet people we'd never get to meet. Right, exactly, that's the best part, is meeting people you would never otherwise run into, so today is no exception. So it's a privilege to introduce a true Renaissance outdoorsman, a passionate advocate of faith and nature, Pete Rogers, with a background that seamlessly blends education, spirituality, and a deep love for the great outdoors. Pete is synonymous with storytelling, inspiration, and connection. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, a holder of a master's degree in divinity, Pete's journey is a testament to the power of determination. He's not only found his voice, but has become an acclaimed keynote speaker, outdoor writer, author, and host of the Christian Outdoor Podcast. Through his podcast, Pete merges his passion, a profound love of Christ, and a beauty of nature. The Christian Outdoor Podcast ranked among the top best Christian podcasts for 2022. It resonates with over 1 .5 million subscribers worldwide, reflecting Pete's unique ability to guide us in enjoying God in every day. From hunting, fishing, and hiking, and camping, Pete immerses himself in the marvels of God's creation. Today, we're honored to have Pete Rogers join us, ready to share his journey and passion. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, yeah. Hey guys, thank you for having me very much. What an introduction, man. I feel like I got a lot to live up to after reading that. Good, you should. Very humbling, very humbling. Really great to be here, though. If you weren't nervous beforehand, you are now, right? Oh, very much so, yeah, very much so. You'd think after doing this so long, you wouldn't get nervous, but you still do a little bit. It is a little harder to sit in that seat than it is this one, I will say that. It really is, it is, it is, yes, it is. Why don't you start by just telling us a little bit about your background and your journey, and kinda how you got to where you are now. That would be awesome. Okay, well, this is an hour podcast, right? So how much time do I have? Cliff Notes version, Cliff Notes. It's been quite a ride. God has really led me in ways I never anticipated going from years ago. And one of the things I like to share when asked that question is, when I was a developing young man, puberty and teenager and so forth, I have very severe speech impediment, and to the point I couldn't speak at all out loud. And I definitely couldn't read out loud. I could read, but I couldn't read out loud. And it was very debilitating to the point where, you know, you stutter so badly that no one wants to have conversation with you, so you're kinda ostracized. This is bad before we labeled bullying, bullying, right? This is just what it was. And it was so bad, just a little funny sidebar here, is I played football in high school and I was a quarterback, but I couldn't call the plays in the huddle. So our coach would send in players after every play, and they would call the play in the huddle. And then one of the running backs would do the, I couldn't even do down set hut or any of that, because there was a lot going on, I was nervous. And so all that would happen and I would just run the play. It's been interesting that I started there and now I make my living as a podcaster and a keynote speaker and how God has brought me there and all the things that he has done to enable me to get there is really just a testament of his grace and his power. It's not anything that Pete has done. Yeah, I went to speech therapist and I learned techniques and learned certain ways of not overcoming more of masking and being able to do things. Obviously I'm speaking now without, y 'all don't hear the stutter, but I feel it. And I hear it in myself and I feel it. When I'm editing my shows, I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it. It takes me forever to edit my shows, trying to cut all that out so people don't hear it. But yeah, so that's part of that. And then a lot of people, I wish I could point to, this was what made me decide I wanted to do it, but I didn't. I didn't grow up in an outdoor household. My dad didn't hunt, he played golf. He, I mean, never went hunting or fishing with my dad and my grandfathers were both deceased before I was born. So I didn't have an outdoor mentor. It was Ted Carasote and Jim Zumbo and Terry Madewell and Jim Casada. And reading these guys in these magazines are the ones that instilled the fire in me to want to, oh man, I want to go do that. I want to go chase that critter. I want to go fly in and fish on these Canadian lakes. But the fish have never seen a lure before. It lit just a fire in me to, you know, I had a friend tell me one time that he said, Pete, the good Lord blessed you with too much drive and ambition. My wife says I'm bullheaded and a workaholic, but I'm gonna go with too much drive and ambition. I like that better.

"Welcome to another podcast episode named People of Divine Naples, today you will hear an interview that was done on the very beginning of our Divine Naples podcast, this was the second interview I have ever done in the United States on 14th of January 2018, this interview was never published but for many reasons today I have to bring it to your ears, you will hear voice from my dear friend for 22 years, my neighbor for 18 years, the businessman that you should have known and the person that will be missed by many, if you are one of them you will always find his voice here speaking, enjoy the show. Hello all divine people, welcome to episode 433 named People of Divine Naples, I have the great pleasure to welcome person that decided to dedicate his 22 years of passion for people, he enjoyed to make them happy through taste buds and good vibration, he started experimenting in Naples 2001 with Chicky Hut where he blended in community immediately, after that he opened best rated and most successful barbeque restaurant in South West Florida, Black Eyed Pick and he built from scratch Franklin Social, here is one and only Carl Osborn. Hey Rich, how are you today? I am doing great, good to have you, you are comfortable? Yeah, oh good. Yeah, and our bar is serving good? Yeah, beer is good, check that out. We like to have interviews relaxed so we are prepared with whatever you wish as drinks, so if anybody want to come over and do the interview, so make sure we get the right information. So you are sitting here in a very humble studio, I hope you are feeling comfortable and good, whether it is cold outside, it is good, probably a good time to maybe do barbeque, a lot of people maybe do barbeque because it is Sunday today and you have been doing this for 15 years, isn't it enough of barbeque right now, you still going to continue? Yeah, we are just getting on a good roll right now, we are actually at the restaurant, we are in year 10 right now, but I had 5 years prior doing outside stuff. The question was, you know, if you still like it. I still like it, I love barbeque. That is good, let's just tell everybody what is the name of your restaurant, where you are located, so we can start with that and let's just roll. We are at the Black Eyed Pig Barbeque, it is 5307 Shirley Street in Naples, just off Pine Ridge Road between Airport or Naples Boulevard and Goodlett Road. It is hard to find, so you guys have to get on that road and it is a very short distance from Pine Ridge and you will see from a long way the pig eye, the design on the building. So it is barbeque with a big pig face. Yeah, it is a very inviting pig face. I wanted a big pig to put on top, but they won't let me do that. Oh really? Yeah. But you can smell it from a long distance. Yes. All right, you end up in Naples when? When did you come here? 2001, came down from the Orlando area. Oh really? So you lived in Orlando before? I did, I came to Orlando in 1986 with the Olive Garden. Oh really? So I didn't even know that. I know you for a long time, I didn't know you were in the Olive Garden. I was with the Ruby Tuesday prior for four years and came with the Olive Garden in 1986 to Orlando when they had four restaurants I think. So there is a long way, you are the expert in restaurants, you picked up a lot of practice there. Yeah, I've had a lot of practice closing restaurants and opening restaurants and lots of employees. So you know how to do it? Yes, absolutely. And you know there is a reason for probably keep it on the size you have it because it's very limited on seating, it's very limited with employees, so you can focus on the quality and there is probably, the end is, you've been voted, as many people say, the best barbecue in Naples, so what is the special on that? Well, we decided in the beginning, the building was a breakfast lunch restaurant when we bought it and I've never been open for dinner, so we started opening lunch and dinner and we got rid of everything that we don't do, we got rid of salads, so we're basically just barbecue. If you smoke it, we got, so we just sell what we do. We don't try to be everything to everybody, we do barbecue, that's it. That is very simple? Yes. And you do the hot sauces? Everything is yours? Homemade sauce. Recipes? Everything. Really? I just have to tell everybody who is listening right now, we don't talk ordinary barbecue one like you can buy in the Costco and you roll it out at your parking lot, load it in your SUV, this is serious business. Your barbecue is probably 10 times maybe more bigger, now you bought another little barbecue I would say, right? Specialty built for you, for your business? Yeah, we've got a competition smoker now that we're going to start with this spring, but we use it on a lot of caterings. But going back to the recipes, I've got a great friend of mine who I met here in my first business venture here in town, which is a little bar, he's from Oklahoma and his family has been in business since 1930 in the barbecue business. So a lot of my recipes came from him, so they're well tested, they've been there 85, the one on 88 years now. So, would you say this is like Saturn taste or what is this exactly? Well, Oklahoma, it's a dry rub, everything's dry rub and hickory smoke. Never baked, never boiled, it's just smoked. How many hours do you have to smoke like ribs? Ribs are around three and a half to four hours depending on the size. We do baby backs and St. Louis as well. St. Louis are the ones that came out of Oklahoma, we kind of threw the baby backs in for the East Coast kind of people. And what's the best seller? They sell about equal, we sell a couple of hundred racks of each a week, we have 35 seats, so we stay pretty busy. I think you did really well when bikers start showing up because they love the type of food and I think there's always a lot of bikes on your parking spaces. There's a lot of bikes, there's a lot of guys, golf outings, we always get the guys, we're a big guy hanging out for lunch and then they all bring their wives at dinner. Okay good, so you do what, I mean you do pick, you do chicken, you do sausages, just tell us a little bit. So everybody who's listening, their mouth is already watering right now. We do pulled pork is our specialty, we call ourselves home to pulled pork.

The Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Flash Hash: 09/01/2023
"Let's bullshit and see who wins bullshitting. Splash Ash everybody, who's excited? I am excited. I can tell, the inflection really shows the excitement. I can't maintain my excitement. I'm extremely, extremely excited. Splash Ash. There it is. That's what I was waiting for. Oh, or did you whisper that or did your mic go up? Splash Ash. Can't hear that. Oh, I have a, I forgot I have the, I got a filter, so it's like blocking that out. I was whispering it way too quiet. I was like, is it going, is my mic going out? It's a beast of a filter. It's like no whispers around here. It's AI, baby. Okay. So you can't even be clapping. Oh, wow. That's a really good. You can't even do asthma if you want it to. Man. I can't even hear you drinking, doesn't it? Wow. I appreciate that. I really appreciate not being able to hear people like chewing or taking their drinks whenever they're about to meet. I didn't do that. I want that. I got dogs. I got children running around. Anyways, we got to show them real cool. Yeah, you do need that. We'll figure that out later. But now, Splash Ash, and it's been a minute. Since we've done one and we're back. So we'll do a little, little intros for the people that are new to hashing it out or Splash Ash. I'm Christian. I produce this. Wrangle these cats. Keep these guys in line while we try and take two minutes a piece. Yes, the claws maybe need to come out. Everyone's wanting, but we also have one. Is it doctor? Corey, Penny, was it? Give us, give us a little. I'm a doctor, but it's in something else. So you can use it if you want to. Not a medical doctor. Save a life. I'm a reality doctor because I know physics. I just made that up. It's an interesting term. Is that what you call it? I just made that up. I'm a doctor of time and space. I mean, if that's indeed what you are, you can make out whatever you want. You're like a Dr. Octopus kind of doctor? I guess based on what he did. My research puts me closer to that than him. Definitely, for sure. Okay, well, Dr. Octopus down there, why don't you introduce yourself? My name's Jesse Broke, and I do this podcast. Excellent, as always. That's it. So verbose, I love it. And the man with the silky voice in the red, sir? Yeah, I didn't get enough sleep, so my voice is not too silky. Anyways, my name's Fergalotty, AKA Black Sauce, AKA 007 .5. AKA Black Zordon, coming at you, reigning champion of Flash Ash. I believe one of them is in dispute, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna go my way. Let's do this. I like the confidence. Also, you go by D, if anyone was wondering. Oh, yeah, my name's D. What about Fergalotty? Did you mention that one? AKA Fergalotty, that's a big one. That's probably the longest standing one. Yep. You missed the important one. That's right. The actual name. Yeah, that's how you can find me on Twitter. So we have three different topics, two minutes a piece. Let's start with the topic that one Dr. Reality brought to the table. The subject is tornado cash founders charged with money laundering and sanctions violations. We got two minutes, starting with one Dr. Corey Petty. Your time starts now. Yeah, so the link that I gave was actually the Justice Department's announcement of them charging the tornado cash founders with sanctions and arresting one of them and breeding through it. And they arrested them on charges of committing money laundering. Mostly it's about facilitating the Lazarus Group in North Korea, but a lot of the charges are around committing money laundering, operating a money services business, and one other one, which I forgot what it is. It's around the same case. Yeah, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. These people basically created tornado cash. There's probably some operational costs associated with doing that, and they promoted it. And now one of them's in jail for probably more than five years, or prison more than five years, depending on how things go there. Another one is, I guess, at large. And it's this concept of like, it's hard to get around this, and it scares a lot of people who make privacy technology. And I'm not sure how to make them feel good about it, because it is relatively scary. Like, I think privacy is mandatory, or allowing, or a lot of the human rights for humans to exist. Like a lot of people say privacy is a human right. I think privacy is a requirement for satisfying human rights, which is a bit different. And you don't have it in digital infrastructure, then you can't have digital human rights. 10 seconds. And it's gonna be real hard to do things like that when the United States is actively trying to shut it down. You read some of the articles on this, it makes it very clear that they have zero tolerance in terms of technology like this. All right. Very good on your time, as always. D, Fergalotti, whatever your alias is today. You're two minutes, there's no. Yeah, I mean, this article is, I guess we can just hash out, there's no real debate or side to take on this. It sets a pretty rough precedent, like if they're actually found guilty. And it's bad, it's like you can't build anything that preserves privacy without some government official wanting to lock you up and throw away the key. So it's kind of frightening. It's some of the allegations are kind of out there, but it seems like, like you said, they made tornado cash and then promoted, that was dangerously close to the tornado cash. They made tornado cash and they promoted it and now they're in trouble. And it's like, it's almost just like they made a tool and then made it, gave in the structure manual and now they're in trouble for that. So, and a lot of trouble, not a little bit. I think anything, one thing that's kind of cool is the money service business. Uncle Sam's admitting that crypto is money. So, let's get a golf clap for that one right there. But it's not good. It frightens someone like myself who works at an organization that is building privacy -preserving technology. It's kind of weird and dystopian that we can, that we'll probably accidentally say one day privacy as a service. It's like, what? What even is that? But it looks to be the way things are going. So, it's unfortunate for Mr. Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, Semenov, I hope I got that correct. You didn't. I didn't, Semenov. Anyways, not much to debate. I'm definitely on the side of the tornado cash team here because they're just building code and letting it ride. But we will see whenever the court cases come and whenever they're putting all this stuff on the record, we'll be able to see exactly what evidence there is, so. And time. How'd I hit? How much detail is left? You went a little bit over, but I wanna let you finish your sentence. So, yeah. Well, there might be Jesse time left. You never know. All right, Jesse, you have two minutes on the same topic starting now. All right, so just first off, I doubt the one billion that they're alleging is all criminal proceeds. They're just probably taking the number of the amount of transaction volume that went through tornado cash and then just saying that in totality is all criminal. So that's kind of bullshit. Also, the main issue here isn't KYC, AML, in my opinion. There's a history of US banks providing direct or indirect accounts for cartels for terrorist groups if you look at the history in the US, HSBC was and still is a well -connected global financial mainstay in international banking and they do provide methods for cartels, for terrorist groups, and also legitimate businesses. So the history of institutions like that and of a lot of these different things comes from trying to bank the unbanked. Originally, HSBC was created to facilitate Scottish traders who were trading an opium in Hong Kong and China didn't have a, I guess they, nor China had a method for really banking efficiently. And so, yeah, I mean, that's how that started and I think largely a lot of this can be solved with decentralized identity and letting people loosely affiliate their real identity with this parallel digital identity and then allowing people and building the infrastructure for people to pay taxes and use your knowledge as a way to just give the government the right amount of information that doesn't, that allows them to kind of preserve their privacy and give essentially Uncle Sam his cut.

Yeah it's a solid three yard like it's into the wind and don't miss right that i'm contemplating through it but being i love i love that track and the the people that have always been good to me while showed up in. It's a i. Remember the first time i was out branston. Her walk right by me and i was like okay. What then i started. Hit me but If if you couldn't pick a course in tennessee would it be though where would you play well. I'd love to play augusta. Yeah that's that's the bucket list. Yeah yeah. I don't know if that will ever happen. But if you make a master's good yeah i like to play. I'd like to play at pebble beach. Yeah i'm gonna say this tongue in cheek. I know somebody's gonna like make a comment about this. But i was underwhelmed with pebble beach really. It's it's one hundred percent about where that golf courses located. Not how good that golf course. Actually oh yeah like an outside if you feel bad in a lot of agreement with it if you to pebble beach golf horse end just painted up and you dropped it. In keynes's it's mccabe and in their very small greens. But it's a very nonchalant level. Course now you tee off one and you feel like you're at brentwood country club dogleg right par four houses down the side and kind of like this is public beach You go to tuesday. Par-five xanthi houses on the left. And you're like okay. I guess this is not really the start alice. Thinking is going to be three. You come back you make this turn to the water your your next shot and you start to see the ocean your own. I start to get this now. You play four or five and you get to six the par-five right in in in it's like you get you get on the ocean and then you start to like. I now understand the allure of this golf course right yes. But it's a hundred percent because of you're up against cliffs the oceans their these winds insane. Like i mean it was stout into the face on seventeen when we hit that par-three just like you've brutal But yeah but but that was i mean. That's take away from. That will mean it's still an awesome. Experience is still like you know while. us open's replay there that and is very surprising to me like it's not long a couple long hold does not long ago it was. I was very surprised. We'll say that when. I was watching the golf tournament on like last night. When i was sitting there watching.

"You got plenty of talent to pick up sport. Be okay at it. But the thing that i always tell parents let them let the kid kind of dictate the drive right and and your parents are very awesome at being hands off right even from day one it was like they dumped you off with me and then just went and sat in the car and i don't think they've even watched me teach you for like i don't think they've seen a minute of our lessons. Now actually i think about that But at the same time different relationships work for different people. But when you were coming up through the junior golf ranks what you know. What was your motivator like. What made you want to go to the golf course and get better. It was just almost like a satisfaction. Whenever i hit a good shot and golf. There's nothing like it like. And then almost trying to beat the course like if i didn't play good low or well one day i wanna come out the next day in trying to beat it right like just do goes. I can beat it every single time. I went so old. Manpower was kinda motivator right. He's trying to beat the golf course. And that's a that's a good good way of looking at golf. Just in general is because and and and you don't know this but i've used your story a lot here lately from the state championship. We just got done with this fall where you shot nine under which i think is your best to determine ever. Oh yeah right so you know. I in just kind of leads into a a story. That makes golf. So poetic is that you go out and put together the best round you've ever played for two days shoot nine-under and get beat by four and coming third. You got to look back at the history of the tournament and you probably win that thing. You know nine..

Wedges inside a hundred yards but i hate hitting balls and it's a personality thing and i'm not scared i'll we'll have a grind session man. I'm not scared to go.

I worked on ago or use the golfer evaluate. I don't really know what i'm gonna practice on. Go out there and kind of see like is kinda if you're this pretty good so you kind of balances from there but it is funny then the the time man if there's any kind of stereotype of college junior golf it's like the time keeper had twenty seven hours. You know these three days and miss manners like what. I told this one girl down in georgia The last few days. You've hit more balls in this day than i've hidden our last two months and i've played a lot of tour vis like and she's really like she took that as positive edge. What are you doing.

Yeah i mean honestly. I came down in dismay. Not being very good steward of what. I had to take a lot for granted. And i can do what i want when i wanted without really much repercussion on on either side as long as i played golf everything else got took care of itself and you know biblically not realizing us golfers. Were endurance athletes. I say that very lighthearted. But i mean our seasons are long days long. They're super repetitive. And one of the nicest things any trainers ever says. Oh you're dirt guys. Like yes i am and i laugh but i mean you start to think about it. The way that endurance person trains. I mean they just do it for a really long time the same thing. And that's kind of what we do and I was just kind of a ticking time.

"Obviously if you're a kid like that's given the old like thirty handicapped reverse loop way top. That bar doesn't pass exactly. You know we can fit into a swing in the eventually and this is where you know has been my focus. The last few years is eventually you get to a place where is good enough. Learn a skill learned the skills and don't worry about. It's not a technical problem. It's a skillset problem and too many people try and find some technical move. That's gonna make the magic button go. That's okay now. Want to shoot sixty two. No no no no no. That's not how and so anyways moving from that junior golf's behind you said you've had a heck of a run. You are now committed a western kentucky so talk to us about recruitment because your recruitment has gone through by three different. Ncwa rules changes pandemic. I mean talk about that journey because it was probably not the easiest road trying to figure out college not at all. I mean. I started out young whenever i was in a freshman or sophomore and i was thinking about college and where i wanted to play. You know. of course you always think of like i wanted to go to stanford ever since like fifth grade. They have the best golf team. I mean best golf coach. Whatever sure and whenever all the rule all the years and rules and all this stuff came. I didn't even know i mean i had asked you. It was like So can i talk to college coaches. You have to call them or something like okay. I was like junior and that was whenever the rules changed whenever it was like you. Can't they talk to you until june timber. And i was like okay. Let's right around my birthday. Maybe i'll get some good luck right but it was just like putting yourself out there. You can't you can't play golf and expect them to if you're especially if you're playing locally you can't expect people from alabama to be looking at you and i that you're not like the next tiger woods just from nashville so you have to put yourself out there. And that's kind of what i did. I mean i talked to fifty different college coaches and just putting myself out there and saying. Hey i'm riley. I'm really interested in playing college golf. I think i've enough talent to be on your team would you consider me and just. Here's my scores. Here's the next tournaments. I'm planning think that's the main key of like looking giving them enough information to be able to follow you. Stay along with you. But not applying too much pressure but i think the hardest part was my recruitment process was telling coaches that i'd committed somewhere else but i. I just ever. Every coach. That i talked to was all about me and i mean i was. I was more than grateful. I was like. Wow you're actually gonna let me come visit and get me a hotel room and all this stuff you know doing everything for me and making me feel at home but the hardest thing was saying. Hey i loved your school. I loved your visit i love. I love your golf team. But this place is right for me And i think that's the main key i would tell anyone else is understand that they're happy for you no matter where you go and all they want is for you to find and hopefully i mean you find their school best and where you wanna live..

It's hard make then thereby you have to make to birdie part from whatever that you bet that witch close which means you have to which is closed pretty tough and there was back in the day. When i was your age there was a rumor that tiger shot. Sixty six medalist. Planning worst ball. Like in his heyday. And those who have never heard of medalist or seen medalists. It's where they played the match. Not long ago with tiger and phil but that golf courses hard and sixty six alone is a good number let alone worst ball so that's definitely it's interesting that they would have qualifying events definitely a good way to practice the question about that especially if somebody your caliber beginners. I'd wait but before we jump into about having for you in college. What was i said. You've one planet tournaments you've played in a lot of cool events tennessee junior cup all that. What was one of your favorite memories from junior golf. It was definitely the last state. So i've played stay at tried to qualify four years and on all through high school soft and region every year. Like absolutely did not qualify just app. This didn't know how to play. So and i think it's just going into like winter season use your brain's kinda shuts off and you don't burn outs exactly but this year. I just told myself. I was a good enough golfer. I mean i'm not gonna play d. One gulf and not make state for years in a row so i was about to just call catch. Have not planning. You don't walk. But i played. Actually i played really good. We had our region that westhaven and ten whole tan an eight and still qualify for state. And i was like okay. This is just a sign. I'm gonna play. I worked my butt off for two weeks straight knowing that. I was going to stay in knowing that i wanted to win. Those my one goal was to wednesday and my best memory from that was going into the guy back. Maybe after the after the second the first nine the second day and i was like okay got turned something on his super. Wendy just not a great day for golf. And i birdied. I just had all pars could not get to fall. And then i made forty footer. For birdie i got this on and then i get to like fifteen.

Because we love the game period. Like i i tell every perfect student. If you don't love golf and i'm talking love it. It's going to be a difficult industry. Because because i told the student this morning jobs have our careers. Don't right if you're counting your hours. You're probably in a job but if you're simply doing what you what you are passionate about the you're not gonna love every day. I'm i'm sure that given a lesson in thirty one degrees outside.

Not currently gun is slow but for the most part we all really love the game period and don't think about we don't think about the the time we're putting in we're thinking about the impact that we're having on people and things like that so the industry right now is right for anybody. Who's trying to get into this to to to really get to a point where like salaries are going up and and We're really seeing that to where Starting out salaries are getting into that that that mid forties that lower fifties and and especially if they have teaching unity's tournament commission and merchandise commissions. And things like that where. It wasn't like that with thirteen years ago. So it's a much different set of circumstances we're hearing from so many places that need assistant professionals haven't been able to afford assistant professionals in the past and we had twenty two seniors graduate in december. They were all hired by mid-september. I mean they were it was. I mean it was and i'm getting calls from places in october november like the graduates in december mike. They're all they're all hired there. Let you gotta get on early. So i've told so many people if you want help latest need to get on me quickly and we need kind of get on quickly. 'cause even what you're saying you had options on the table when the industry really wasn't great now it's magnified So it's a good problem for us to have i just i. I really hope that we can provide the industry with enough professionals over the next five to ten years as our as our older members that have sort of pay for since day as they retire. Are we able to keep keep the steam going for the game right now because the pj off management universities are who are providing the at The talent pool entity industry. Well you know it's funny. You bring that up because there was a time when i was just getting out of the program or just turning pro that they were saying there's too many of us coming out of these things right. There's not gonna be israel and that's part of what you're saying that that time it kind of was and then in to speak on the retirement thing.

And half of our membership is that were we're at a spot where there's a little bit of a storm coming of a great need for golf professionals especially because cova delta's this hand of now people are interested.

You're not meeting your wife. you're currently. I mean there's so many things that fall into place because of the decisions. You may. I ask after i turned pebble down for the second time they called me again. I don't even know if you know this story in twenty ten when you were in school. They called me again. I do remember that they wanted me to come back. And i was really toying with the idea. But then eric and i started dating. So i take a leap of faith that i need to see this through a turn pebble down for a second time and they like you turn telling you and you're not going to get this offering. I understand no i'm good and And and i ended up staying here debt. That's how however can get together. And how i found my life in your similar situation of being in nashville. And really you got to natural right before data will sort boomed and you really these sort of saw this happen. It's nuts. i mean we saw showed up. In two thousand eleven january demo through august and then went back graduated and came back fulltime and twelve and like national still starting to pop it like it was starting to blow up it wasn't white the bachelorette capital of the world yet but it was becoming one. And and so you know the the thing that drew me to was like 'cause i'm an outdoorsman outside of golf right so i like to go envision kayaking camp stuff like i can go on our anywhere on ended up at at a park and i could do that.

I had no idea what i was going to. I mean that's the second internship you're talking about at overbrook i was. I was searching out like the sales reps going to talk to them about like was to be a salesman. Because that's what i knew from my dad being in building supplies and then here i am teaching now. I had no clue on the third internship and assault version. Do and i started doing some math. I was like I like the. I like those numbers. All right that's enough not balmy. Bunny money though. How that all that goes for you. Because i wonder yes. Dr lemay was the director. The whole time i was in an jeff was the assistant and we always kind of off because dr may wasn't a golf professional and in inject was so there must have been a time. Right around your visits. I mean that happened in. Oh seven right. That would have happened but prior to you coming in two thousand seven. I was on my final internship at pebble beach and of doctoral may called me to say our fiscal year mississippi state for For for everything.

It was starting to hit me that the final internship it was a resort off course obviously pebble edward a private club. I've worked public off course but it pebbled. There were a lot of interns from all over the country at other schools and they were all level ones and twos and a level three. And i found myself going to deport. Lay like three times a week. We'd have to pull in the south of the town so it was a huge deal. You can show your college day. They'd give you a free drink. And then the that time the burrito fat fifty. We'll talk about like eden epsom aaa now. We would we all the time. And i would help. Those guys do their books. Right do their schoolwork and do and get ready for testing and it was one of those moments. Where in a moment of clarity wide. I do this for like living like why. Don't i figure out a way to be involved than a -cation with the pg and dr lemay announces retirement. I'm starting to put all the things together. That jeff will ascend to the director role. His job will be available. When i graduate and i called him and he was on vacation an esa. Jeff who's one of the most important people in my life in terms of mentoring things done for me and taught me and in a are you where are you at. And he said.

"And then we drove across the state to mississippi to check out stateful and It's actually a funny story on that we i. I can't tell you how we got from lack the sorrowful still but there are some old barbecue joint off this highway and my dad are starving and we pull off at his place ango inside. There's like deer heads up on the wall and there's even a coon up there maybe and standard and the food rating was like seventy two or something like that. And you're like well. This is going to be the best barbecue on the planet. Or i'm going to be curling over time to get the start for. Luckily it was the former and it was delicious. Great star full in this is i showed up right at the end of dock lamaze run and and jeff was taking the reins so actually met doc at the university. Of course tonight. We showed up and chatted with doc for like an hour at the chipping green. The old chipping green. And so on. I was like you know he. He's stuff about this is in the university. Of course still you know a great track. Then now it's even more awesome And so you go back and then wake you stay in the hotel next day jeff and we walk around campus and i get like the official tour and some little southern blonde girl and her skirt was walking around. Show me to play. Sounds like place doesn't suck and and so then you know jeff meeting in in ios interesting about it was at that point start was actually the last place. I visited In at that point lot of program directors didn't like talk to me directly like they were talking to my dad a lot and in kind of almost leaving me out of the conversation a little bit. They'd asked me a few things here or there but then when they would talk about academics price internship stuff like that. They were just looking at my dad. Jeff was one of the only i only. But there's because i think the penn state guy and I think maybe the methodist guy was the only to actually kind of like talked me and my dad that kind of stood out to him. Like jeff was communicating with me. And my dad was come in the background. And that was a big selling ticket from old man and And so have jeff. I was like man. This guy was pretty cool. I could. I could see myself coming here and then like saying that you said like the size of the campus fell. You know felt right. The size of the town felt right You gotta methodist methods. It seems as high school. I was like i love it but i can't. I can't do high school politics again out. Something bigger and locked me up. Was that those kind of conversations. With doc and jeff in and just the atmosphere state so then we get down there and it was just..

"Who's not terry pods. Country club in allman thereof. pj members. They were older than me. We played golf together. High school they had come to mississippi state. And i'm like what's it mississippi state. Because i didn't didn't never been the start will never really. All i knew was mississippi state was it was a game on the schedule. Alabama right That and i didn't know anything about it. And it's sorta like you can go to school for golf and it seems like a crazy thing that this is two thousand three. The program's been around at that point for eighteen years. And i don't even. I've never heard of it right And that's a similar story. We've been here today. I mean the program now thirty five years old and you still have people that can't believe you can go to school college and it's one of those aha things of coming over here to visit in everything just sort of fell right. Everything felt correct. It's exactly what i should do in fell in. Love start will because startled was a similar size to where i grew up A little smaller but comfortable with everything didn't get overwhelmed by campus is and it just one of those things where you go play. The university course in everything just feels correct and at that point i knew nothing about the industry. It was just golf. Yes that that was. That was as far as i got. Just like if. I can figure out a way to do this. In some capacity at this point you know nothing about the program. Nothing about the industry. Nothing about the opportunities. You just know that in college. If i can do something that is related to the game. I think of at least starting to go towards something that i'm passionate about and and that's how really really how it all happened. And that's a very common pattern when we talked to kids that. Are you know making that decision on to play college golf. But they don't wanna give up the game. And i tell them about you know. Pgm in the pj programs like look if you you know if the waking up at five am to do workouts and then to go travel for six weeks out of the semester and all that doesn't really excite you but you still don't wanna give it up you go. This is pretty good option. That you can still play in tournaments. You learn the industry. You can get a job in the industry where you can still play in tournaments at a competitive level. I mean it's it's a good option and it is. It is crazy. Because i think the funny thing is the funny thing about the funny thing about College athletics and scholarships across the board. Is i think you get the perception that it is sort of the good life. It's easy room and board taking care of and and you don't realize how how you're going to earn that scholarship. It is a my wife for your tenessee. Listeners is farragut. Graduate right and You'll one one state championships and done stuff there. E e came to mississippi state. That's luckily we met and when she would sort of talk about her day. I'm like oh. This isn't like this sort of upper-crust life and i figured a college athlete. Had it's like you said it's it's workout. Study all it's It's tears to figure out how to keep up on your studies. 'cause they're gonna give you a pass there and i remember thinking like as much as i think. Playing college would have been would have been good. I don't know if i would have succeeded in that rigid of the thing as a as a young as a young man. I i think i would have struggled. But we've heard. Richard sherman talk about that. You know from the nfl about it. A stanford athlete what they have to. Do you hear that and go..
