"Miner. Anthracite coal, Scranton, Pennsylvania. My dad was not a was he was a salesperson. He wasn't a coal miner, my great grandpa was my first job offer where I wanted my wife to cease wife and I wanted to move to Idaho because we think not a joke. It's such a beautiful, beautiful state. And I interviewed for a job with Boise cascade. I got a commercial license because my dad used to run an automobile agency. I used to drive a tractor trailer. Awesome. And so I'm a little bit about driving big trucks. You see how uncomfortable people are around this guy? I used to drive a tractor trailer. The guy knows he's blessing him. He knows it. Oh, awesome. You don't know what else to suppress in the United States. That's the only thing he's so awesome. He doesn't notice he doesn't notice what he doesn't do. He doesn't talk to him about actual tractor trailers because Biden doesn't know anything about it. He just want to embarrass him. That's like Jim telling me, yeah, Dan. I can throw a football over that mountain Napoleon. You ever seen Napoleon Dynamite? Really, Jim, tell me about the football, the pig skin out of the third spot. Many games you play. You don't want embarrassing guy. Uncle RICO. That's Biden, he's uncle RICO. That's by, so just in that one clip, I'm not done, by the way. Get another man. He's a coal miner. He went to a black college, he's a truck driver. He competed with Roger Staubach for a quarterback job. Graduated toughest class for 3°. You realize not a word of any of that is true.

Corn pop was a bad dude. And he ran a bunch of bad boys. And so he's up on the board wouldn't listen to me. I said, hey, Esther, you. Off the board. I'll come up and drag you off.

"But Pompeo actually has a very good point here, as I pointed out and wrote this a couple of years ago back in 2019 and my book culture Jihad. That the radical leftists were actually using our nation's public education system to advance their radical agenda. So in essence, the reason why our country has changed so radically over such a short amount of time is because of the indoctrination that's happening inside our public school classrooms. Now many moms and dads, you weren't aware. You had plenty of stuff to do. I mean, you send your kids just like grandma and grandpa and great grandpa and great grandpa. You sent your kids to school and they had a school marm a teacher and you learned your lessons. You learned how to add and subtract and you learn how to read and write, you learned about dissecting a frog. Little boys went to shop class and they learned how to change tires and change the oil and how to build shelves and little girls learn how to make delicious pancakes and waffles with blueberries on top. That's how life was in America. And you know what? We won world wars. When we had an education system like that. And if you made a mistake, you screwed up. It wasn't the teacher's fault. You got your butt spanked in the school, and then you got it twice as hard, once you got home. And guess what? Generations of American boys and girls grew up, they became patriots. They became hardworking taxpayers, respectable citizens, and community leaders. And they'll do that anymore. Now you go to school, your poor kid comes home, and then let me know what their pronouns are. So I think Pompeo is right here when he says that the most dangerous person in the world is the leader of the teacher's union right here in the United States of America. Our public schools have destabilized our country folks. I'll give you an example. When you go back to 2008 and there was the raging debate over gay marriage in California, right? Not Tennessee, not Mississippi. California. As a matter of fact, when the vote on prop 8, which is what it was called, when the vote when the people went and they had their say at the ballot box, the people of California, not Mississippi, not Tennessee, not Georgia. California voted down gay marriage. That was back in 2008. They were so afraid of a similar proposition failing in New York State that the lawmakers intervened and decided they weren't going to give the people of New York to say on the matter. So how did we go from 2008 to where we are now, where you have companies openly promoting pedophilia and pornography child pornography on social media. How did that happen? Well, the answer is very simple. It happened inside our taxpayer funded classrooms. And many of you folks were checked out until the pandemic hit. And then all of a sudden, everybody's stuck at home and you got nothing else to do, so you're watching what your kids are learning on the Zoom. And you realize, wait, wait, what? You're teaching them what? And this is why so many people are coming out of these public schools and their socialist, they're pledging their allegiance to communism, they don't know their pronouns, and they want the complete destruction of the United States as we know it. That's what's happening. So I agree with Mike Pompeo. If you're looking at the most dangerous person in the world, it is the head of the teacher's union. And we've got to do something about this, ladies and gentlemen, if we do not, we are going to we are going to lose this country. I have hope in America. I believe that we the people will do the right thing. But it's going to be an uphill climb. What say you? Who do you think the most dangerous person in the world is? 8 four four 747 88 68. That's our toll free telephone number that's 8 four four 747 8 6 8. Now grace baker, you left me some artwork here in the studio. This is very clever. I didn't realize you were that artistic. I missed my calling. No. My grace is what it's called. I had to leave a signature. Well, I took a photograph of this up on the Instagram page. You gotta follow us on Instagram. Todd stern's FNC. I got one of the little blue check marks or whatever. It says gobble gobble Biden. Yes. I love it. It's our, you know, president. That's why I gave him a little top hat. He's a turkey. He's a turkey. Oh, I get it, man. Yeah. Very well done. Oh, there it is. Well, folks go during the break, go over to the go over to the Instagram and check out the great artwork that grace baker left here. Good to have you back from vacation and the sick leave. Yes, that was rough. I'm glad to be well for Thanksgiving. Yeah, apparently the flu is like sweeping through Memphis right.

"That is interesting, though, sherry, you're right. Who is paying that kind of money? Any celebrities that you see in the front row have been calmed, by the way. They've been caught. Even though Beyoncé and Jay-Z can afford the tickets, they will be comped. It'll be Wall Street money and Silicon Valley tech money. I don't think because those are people that get a $3 million bonus. What's 80 grand when you got a $1 million bonus? Especially if your new trophy wife just loves Adele. And you want to be a big shot. I don't know. At any rate, I think she's got the right title. She's calling the shows in Las Vegas, rolling in the dough. Good grief. $3000 that took it. I wouldn't even want to be Adele and be looking at a row full of people that paid 40 grand a pop. I mean, that's so much pressure. It's bob and sherry. Sign up for our newsletter, we never spam you. Never did get bobbin cherry exclusives just go to bob and sherry dot com. I follow up. He's on Facebook called House of geekiness and they had a post that I recently that I just love so much. I took a screenshot. And here's what it says, I love to dismiss my horrible decisions by saying, yeah, that was a weird time in my life. As if the rest of my existence hasn't been absolute clown shoes. I just felt that, you know? Like, sometimes when I'm awake in the middle of the night, you have to, like, I have to, I have to do something. I have to like when I wake up around one 30. First I have to decide am I awake awake? And if the answer is, yeah, you're awake awake. Then I have to give my brain something to do. So sometimes, sometimes I'll think about all the stuff I'm working on this week, or I'll think about a project in the house I'm going to tackle, something I'm going to organize or get rid of or clean or whatever. And sometimes my brain will say, you know what would be fun tonight? Let's take a look at some of the forks in the road. And let's review how some of the decisions you made were absolute garbage. Let's begin in 8th grade. And for the rest of the night. Oh, it's the worst. It is so much better when I can give my brain a little job. I have a giant box of bob and sherry stuff that I have collected from all of the time we've been doing the show together. When I say giant box, I mean, it's one of those giant Tupperware containers like you store your Christmas decorations in. And stacked bottom to top. And so one of the projects I'm working on is organizing that. So that it'll be easier for my children to throw away. Someday when I die. I want to make it simpler for them. Because they have less to carry to the curb. I love the honesty. Yeah, so because I know that I go through all this and I'm like, oh, I forgot that bob and I did that or, oh, look, there's that picture of us dressed as a cow in the parade. It's so, so fun. And I saved all of that thinking that someday it might be fun to show my kids. But now that I actually have human children, I realize the day will never come when they go, mom. Carry me and I were talking and we were hoping that today is the day we could look at the archive of you and career. That's never it's not going to happen. No. And then there was a little part of me that thought, because I know that you don't save this stuff. The other little part of me was I know bob's daughters and someday Landon's going to call me and say, is there any chance that you have any stuff from dad's career? Ally and I would love to look at it. And I would be able to say, honey of course I do, I have a whole box full. But that day isn't going to happen either. At no time will any of our children or grandchildren or great grandchildren, no one will say, hey, is there any chance you have a giant box full of crap from your radio job? So I lay awake in the middle of the night and I figure out how to organize that. Or I can lay awake in the middle of the night and remember the time that a boy named Stephen McDermott tried to kiss me and he slobbered on the side of my face and I almost had to die. I can't think about that. Why do we do this? 'cause I do the same thing. I do the same thing. But I will be so specific about certain things. I mean, it's like the people that I interacted with and inappropriate way or a rude way or a callous way. They've been dead for 20 years. And I'm still grinding about why I did a certain thing. Like I was over at a friend's house and her parents had me for dinner, and it was actually living with this family over the summer, and they had me to this wonderful dinner with their friends, and I never thanked misses Siegel. I never said thank you for including me. I just left, and I always felt that she didn't like me. And I'm beating myself up because mister Siegel has been gone for 20 years. And I'm still beating myself. Oh, I'm terrible at this way. I have a thousand of those little moments. Hey, one thing I can tell you for sure, if we went to misses Siegel in the afterlife, and we said, hey, misses Siegel, listen, first of all, bob feels real bad about not sending a thank you note, but you know, like he didn't know any better. He was a kid and he wasn't raised that way. So he's real sorry. Listen, you will be allowed to come back to life on earth, but the price you have to pay is you have to spend however long it takes looking at everything in this giant box of bob and cherry memorabilia. Bob shall stay dead. Even she doesn't want to even she doesn't want to know any of that. I'm thinking about that. I think that our children somewhere along the way. Maybe it's the grandchildren of the great grandchildren. I think somebody will be interested because our stuff is different. I mean, you know, we're on stage. With people, there are celebrities. We've had pictures taken with. You know, you know, you know who's going to want it at some point in the future. One of us will have a great, great grandchild, who will have a 5th grade family history project. Yeah. Didn't didn't great, great grandpa chit chat, have a radio job. And then they'll go frantically digging around for some proof of that so that the kid can get an a. But do you know what the proof is? The proof is going to be that one shot we took for Thanksgiving, where we're dressed up as pilgrims and looking like complete idiots. Yeah. That's the photograph that they're going to bring in and say, this is my great, great grandmother. This is my ancestor. Yeah. But because it'll be one of, it'll be one of my descendants. There'll be a little bit lazy about the research. This is my great great grandmother. She came over on the Mayflower. Here's a picture. It's bob and sherry.

The Truth About the War in Ukraine With Rep. Victoria Spartz
"So let's refocus on what's happening in Ukraine as somebody who's been there who's been to the war zone. Will you give a picture of how the Ukrainian people are suffering the reality of living in a nation that has been invaded? Tell us what you have seen with your own eyes. Well, I think and I have to, you know, just because you know, I'm sorry and it was all of the criticism president zelensky has a very tough job. I have to say that he wants his country wherever so that he can do. And I think we just need to be household to him and to Ukrainian people because in the local governments, there was a lot of politics right now because if you think about it, local governments, Ukrainian people, Ukrainian army. Hold off this offensive that no one could imagine. This is a strong people. This is people are going to fight till the end. And it doesn't matter. You know how long it takes. So who's helping or not? They're not going to surround that. It's a matter of we don't have them. Some of the best and brightest people are just going to die. And it's going to be unfortunately, just not for Ukraine is, but for all of us. And if you think about it, you know, when I went there and when I saw, you know, what's happening in the city. When I went to city of cherry hill, you know, my great grandpa. He actually lab partisan movements. You know, this is like a position resistant movement. One of the guys ensures you've reached during World War II. Some are a lot of different stories from my grandma. And they will store it when I start driving to the streets. Seeing tanks being missiles land around, seeing that people seeing pictures of people that just got killed to some bombing of Ukraine in people of the war that escaped from Mario for his death and getting shot young voice and hospitals with no lags and no arms. Destruction and really the level of destruction and the level of atrocities and rape and killing putting people in front of a tank, I could never imagine to tell you the truth for me it was surreal.

"With the battery and the head of the light on the helmet. Because when I walked to mister McMaster's house, I was carrying a four pound battery pack on my belt. You have a wire that went up to a hat that had my light. That's how because coon hunters need massive superpower light. Yes, I started with a car battery in a backpack. Really? Really? You needed some serious liar serious about it. I'm talking to 12 vote truck battery and a backpack hooked to a giant sunspot spotlight. It was called a sunspot was where the name of the company came from when I was a little kid. And so okay, so that's what you mean by the batteries have much improved, by the way. Batteries and LED lights. Okay, so describe the modern sunspot light. Because a lot of people wouldn't know what a coon light was. So it has a battery box on the back, core detached to a head on the front. We make them with switches to control different leds on the head and on the battery box either way. It's like a hard that looks like a hard plastic. It's called a bump cap. A bump cap. Well, there's many ways to wear basically the light is designed to ride on your head. There's multiple ways it can ride on your head. It can ride on your head and what I'd call a hard hat or a bump cap or a coal miner's hat. It looks like a coal miner's light. Great grandpa was a lead miner and he has, we have his helmet, looks exactly like that. Yeah. We still make them much better belt also. So we'll take that same battery box, put it on longer accord, you can put it on your belt. Some guys get headaches from helmets or hats or whatever, and we'll put it on a long cord, the head, and they'll just throw it over their shoulder and use it in their hand like a flashlight. Hey, listen to this. Okay, I think there's a big market for non coon hunters to use the lights that we use as coon hunters. Because people that are interacting with wild places, I don't know if y'all know this, but typically it's dark about as long as it's daylight. This part of the world, especially on the solstices. And this is getting deep. But if you're hunting, you have to interact with nighttime. Your white tailed deer hunter, you're walking in the stand before daylight, you're tracking deer in the dark. If you're like me, I wear my light every single day, feeding my dogs, messing with my mules at night. I mean, really, every single day I put on my Kung light and use it. So everybody thinks they know what a good light is. That's not a coon hunter, and they don't. Yeah. I can't tell you how many times I've run over stumps in a boat going into the duck Woods. Yeah. Like, I didn't see that coming. So two years ago, we started making a light for duck hunters. It's called the benno light you wore it last night. So that light on the headband, I didn't know if you knew that or not. I made that one also. That's awesome. So I own all of sunspot and I have a partner on oak. That's also two brands lies. I want to get into the specifics of it. But let me tell this. I was at a camp. I won't name any names, Reston Johnson, but he rest in Johnson. Reston was like, I love Reston. He was like, man, I got.

"And then you've got some people that just have a little slab and there's a lot of these stone homes, buildings. Mausoleums and mausoleums. This is so exciting to have this extra dimension of sightseeing in our travels. This is travel with Rick Steves we're talking with Robert Wright, and Robert Wright's a tour guide who for years has lived and guided in Buenos Aires in Argentina or phone number 8 7 7 three three three 7 four two 5, and Ed's calling in from Vancouver in Washington, Ed thanks for your call. Hi Rick, hi, Robert. We were just there on a family trip last month and we actually went back twice to the cemetery. It was just so interesting with all the like you say these little buildings where you could look in and you can see, well, you can see the well for the families. You can see what was important to them and how they wanted to be remembered. My question had to do more about how do they decide how these little buildings are built and how many it's not just one person. This is a really a family in there and almost look like, you can look into some of them and you almost see a little bunk bed in there. Yeah, a little level. It actually has to do with space requirements. Okay, so if this cemetery is four city blocks, it's built into the urban fabric of the city because initially cemeteries were located far from residential areas, but as the city grows, the cemetery was actually surrounded by the city. So the cemetery has no space to expand. So basically, you have to reuse whatever space you have inside. You'll build a very fancy mausoleum, but you'll have underground storage, and the idea is that, by the time great grandpa is in there, you're going to have room for other people coming along in future generations, because by the time his great grandson is time to pass away, there's not a whole lot left a great grandpa. He's just basically ashes. And so he's less remembered. Weighs less remembered and he takes up less space. So you can move him into a different container. And I know this sounds gruesome, but it is what it is. And then you move them into a different container. And then there's room for other family members. So in that way, you can continue to use these mausoleums over time..

Worry that he's about to go off script so much that he's gonna do some damage and they pull the plug on him and one of the senators brought that up to the secretary of state yesterday. We gotta talk about. But that that's an that's an interesting thing which i think is especially fascinating in the wake of the bob woodward book coming out where you may have had a general completely illegally unconstitutionally injecting himself into the chain of command because he believed the president was crazy. Okay well that's an interesting story about the last president. Is anybody interested about the current sitting president and whether or not he's got his marbles together since i've been in college the whole as really really not in charge.

And I'm trying to figure out a way to teach him about money in ways that he can understand and also apply. I thought about buying him some stocks. Maybe something that he might enjoy following, But I don't know if that's a good idea or not. Well, Mike, you're being a great grandpa. You want to give your grandson something to do and you want to help him get going Now, You know today's kids, they're more Internet savvy than we have her word that age. So rather than just giving him some stocks to follow. I think maybe you should have him research and learn a little bit, make some choices on his of his own that he can buy into, and that way he'll be more incentive to keep up with it because it's his own choice. I think it's great. You're helping him get going, but not only give him the money, give him the education to go along with it wise words and certainly that's awesome. And a grandfather is getting The grandson involved, and maybe that'll pique his interest in who knows he may grow into retirement person somebody that would advise somebody that would be a fiduciary and that's exactly what Steve Shaiman is.

But for now, it's great Grandpa Drew and the New Orleans Saints versus the Big Bang himself, Tom Brady. And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Only history. If you'd have seen the photo shop there like an old looking breeze and old looking Brady and that it was fantastic city I am again. It makes me sad to think this could be the last time we ever see Drew Brees. Play football. You bite you buying that? Possibly Don't know. It is interesting, because if this is gonna be the last time that we see Drew Brees, I will be, I guess. Tears. This is maybe a little strong. But just in the fact of what we've seen, Drew Brees du Jeu breeze the opportunity to not on Lee bring the city Do all is the championship post Katrina But just to have the longevity of his career was nothing short of fantastic. On guy Go back and look at it for Drew Brees. Drew Brees is not arguably one of the most important quarterbacks in the history of the game. In the National Football League. He you could aren't making argument that he's one of the most important players in football history. Now follow me, right? Drew Brees coming off of his injury and would San Diego back in the day. They're trying to figure out all right. Where is he going to go? Where is he going to take the next step? Well, mind you there was a head coach for the Miami Dolphins named Nick. Save it. Nick Saban had to decide. Am I going to go with Drew Brees? Where am I going to go with Dante Culpepper? Nick Saban wanted Drew Brees. Nick Saban said Dolphins get me Drew Brees. Offense. Doctors like to Drew Brees said, Man, I just don't think he's ever really gonna be able to play. I can't clear this. You're gonna need to get Dante Culpepper. Nick Saban, Yada yada yada ends up getting Dante Culpepper free agency. It doesn't work out. Nick statement goes to Tuscaloosa. By the way, he's had a little success there. Just one of seven title overall passing Bear Bryant. So you think about that? Had the Miami Dolphins doctors just said Hey, You know what? Drew Brees? You're good enough. What would have happened with saving what would happen New Orleans. What would happen to Drew Brees in college football is a whole. The butterfly effect of that one doctor decision.

Warrior Kid Podcast
An interview with 16-year-old author Solomon Schmidt
"Today we have a guest on the podcast by the name of Solomon Schmidt. Now Solomon then Schmidt is still a kid but he's an author he's sixteen years old he's already written five books and all the books are history books he also plays piano and is a member of the Civil Air Patrol. Pretty good track. He's got going right now. Solomon Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me on. It's very good to meet you you too so all of the books that you've written our history books. What made you start to get interested in history? Well my mom has been reading to me from the time. I was really young For as long as I can remember she was putting books in my hands. And she's the one who taught me how to read and write and I guess there never really was a time when I wasn't has an interest in history I can remember specific children's book. It was an overview the statue liberty and how it was built was brought to America. There was a little picture book for eight eight nine year olds. But that's that's the first American history book I can clearly remember. I remember from that. I was really interesting. That titanic for the longest time so. We're not a lot of books on that. I watched the nineteen fifties sixties version of it. And like you said I just can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in history and it it spiraled into getting interested in specific topics like World War Two which I was on for the longest time Winston Churchill all the battles and generals and civil war American Revolution Revolution usually military history so what fascinates me the most. But I can't remember a time when I haven't been learning about it and intrigued to learn more on read more and study more. Know if I've heard correctly is there some connection to your family in the military and specifically Pearl Harbor. Yeah my great grandma who turned ninety eight just a couple of weeks ago he was actually at Pearl. Harbor was attacked. Is One of only a few survivors left he was. He was removed from the main area of attack. He was getting his ammunition. Inspected in officer ran into the tent. And he said grab your guns. We're at war. And he said by the time everything was got everything was pulled out and gun ready for the attack to to fight against the Japanese planes. The first wave was gone and around. He he told me that he didn't have a big part in actually fighting against the Japanese. But it's it's always something that has stayed with him and he still villas memories of being there and a fighting the Japanese in the Pacific he drove trucks around. That was his job he i. I'm not sure if he was ever actually in like battles where he shot people but he he served in the war for four years and I really think think that's something that I can look back on and that's a tidy history right there in my own family. You know one of the few people that's actually survivor. Pearl Harbor is my great Grandpa by bombs. GRANDPA and he's he's just a great guy he's He's still plays his harmonica nursing homes. You know he's almost a century old but I I just I love people who have continued to keep the legacy alive by teaching people about history by carrying about our country and knowing knowing that patriotism and a love of country especially when you're serving in the military is is so important and he did have that and he loves America and Pearl Pearl Harbor. I think is something that has always stayed with him. He's usually pretty quiet when I talk about his military service or when I want to ask him about that but Pearl Harbor is something. He opened opened up to me more. I think because it's something that I said He. He wasn't like in the main part of the attack but he was definitely impacted by it. Yet will the military is a giant into organization and the Mount of people that are actually on the frontlines. Fighting is usually very very small much smaller than what people think. But in order to get those troops on the front lines to actually be able to fight there is a massive amount of logistics. What does the logistics means? It means that people need food. The people need fuel. The people need ammunition for their weapons. They need medical supplies. There's all these things that the soldiers that are on the front lines need and so your great-grandfather you said. Greg Great-grandfather for data admit is his name. And he played the role that he played for in serving. His country was to deliver those logistics in the front lines and even though he might not feel or you might think oh he. He wasn't fighting on the front lines. Trust me as a front as a guy that was on the front lines. If you don't have those back back logistics behind you to support you. You're not going to be able to make anything anything happened. So that's why whenever somebody tells me that they served no matter what capacity they served in the military. I always thank them for their service because they were doing what their country needed him into. New -solutely yeah. So you transitioned at some point from reading about history into writing about history. How old were you you when you wrote your first book I started writing it when I was twelve and I had been struggling for a little while to kind of wonder you know? What should I do what? What should my thing be? I started by making a board game called politics power and it was a little makeshift game. Made the book. The board game politic power. I started that I think when I was eleven. That's interesting and I started putting it together just so you know when I was eleven my friends and I were throwing mud at each. Yeah I think you're you're already progressed a little bit further than me. Okay so you make the board game politics power. Yes so I mean it just had it was Kinda like monopoly. It had a board exactly like a go position. And you know you sent to jail you commit a an illegal act in in politics but it had all these pieces and I. I've got everything but of course then it comes down to actually okay. But how do you finish and actually make it a board game so struggling to not to do that and I came down to the basement one day to my dad's workbench and we started talking and he said you know Sama. What do you really love? And I said well history debt and he said well. Why don't she writes history book for Kids Your Age and other time? I think it was eleven when that happened. And I was intrigued by the idea. And we know this man who's written over over a hundred bucks and he gave me a piece of advice. He said well actually told my dad. He said never do a project if somebody else has already done and done it very well focus on. You're just wasting your time so my dad told me okay. I'm glad for you. You should do this but be sure there isn't anything already out there like it so I did my research. I looked around around and couldn't find anything in the format or for the audience targeting about US history. And I knew that's what I wanted to do. And I finished D- I worked on it for several months. Finishing the sections and I can remember one time we run vacation in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. I remember. That's where I wrote the Cuban missile crisis. This is on the way. Remember that but certain things stay in my memory from all different points of writing the books Yeah that's how. US History Bites game to be now how you kind of breezed over the fact that in a few months you finish the book now as you know I've written a bunch of books as well and it's not easy to write a book and I always tell people people the books don't write themselves you actually have to get. You actually have to do the work. What was there any particular thing that you did to to ensure that you got your project done? Well I can remember with. I don't specifically remember with us. History Bites I remember that my goal was because at the time. I didn't think I was going to be writing any other one so my goal was just okay. I just want to read this book so I didn't have a specific time. I think no of course the research process is a completely different process and takes by itself. I think I left myself six months to actually write the thirty sections and I I can remember clear with my last books though With my most recent books I would. I would figure out what day of what month I needed to be done by and I'd figure figure out. How many sections I would need to do in order to achieve that goal and how I would need to break it up and I'd get it done and it really just came to a matter of each day I'd go okay whether I have a headache or not whether I feel like it or not? I have to get this section done today. I have to get this part of research done. I have to read about Gandhi today. And that's what I need to do and kind of like you talk about your books. I went to bed feeling great and I woke up the next morning feeling ready to go onto whatever was next one of the things things that I talk about when it comes to my writing process is I write a thousand words a day when I when I'm writing a book. I read a thousand words every a single day. It takes me about forty five minutes to an hour to get that done and what it does is a couple big benefits to it. We'll number one. You're slowly chipping away at this big giant project. And if you try if you woke up today and you said I'm going to write a hundred thousand words today. That would be very intimidating. And I don't recommend doing that. And if you wake up and you say look I'm GonNa find forty five minutes today. I'm GonNa find an hour and I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. Which is hammer out these thousand words? What's good about it? That's that's good. You Get don little bits at a time. Which is it's easier you ever heard that expression about eating an elephant? How do you eat an elephant? One limited time. What one bite at a time right one bite at a time? That's all you can do. You can't eat that you can't stop that whole elephant in your mouth. Not that I advise Edna elephants but if you were to have to eat an element elephant you'd want to do a little bit at a time so the thing is that you're taking little bites of your project the other thing that's good about writing every day in my opinion is if I skip three days Of writing when I open back when I opened a computer backup to start writing again. I forgot what the last thing I wrote was. Now I have to go back and spend twenty minutes or thirty minutes or maybe even forty five minutes to an hour reading what I wrote to get myself back up to where I can start writing again. I have to redeploy my brain and that redeployment time takes time. So that's why I always recommend you. You take that and you you do every single day and what's good the reason I'm spending a little bit of time talking about this is that this applies to really anything really anything that you you WanNa get good at. Whether it's you WanNa get good. I play guitar. I know you play piano. You don't want to try and save up for a month worth of practice at piano and say oh well going to do is just one weekend. I'm going to practice eighty nine hours. You know. I don't even know if that's mathematically possible but you don't WanNa do that you will. It's much much better and and it's better for your skill to practice that instrument every single day. If it's a sport you want to get good at. If you want to get good at dribbling a basketball don't just say okay. Well one week before basketball. Ask Ball season. I'm just going to dribble a basketball a lot for for eighteen hours a day. That's not
The Howard Stern Show
Hoarse Ronnie Mund & Mark the Bagger Have So Much in Common The Howard Stern Show
"Stern show and by the way yesterday because he's he's still sounded like mark the Bagger I had Ronnie cut another phony phone call now for your listening aren't the Bagger Ronnie suddenly impressionist exactly and mark the Bagger on the phone mark it's Great Grandpa Ronnie again okay I'm excited that we're both related motor see what we both got in common what's your favorite section opposition nine yeah that's my favorite too I screaming all the time sixty nine cool very cool account three what's your favorite color one two three and we got so much in common yes we knew what was the last took a shit eight o'clock this morning eight o'clock tonight God what was the last time you jerked off that's one Oh my God Soden I where did you come each seizing the corporate all Liam me to leave my fucking grandson when was the last time you stuck your thing on your ass oh my God me too I still got some shit my fingernail it's so we got so much calm and let me hear what you feel like when you come ooh Oh my God we sounds exactly alike holy shit this is fucking great yeah how old are you I'm forty four lead to great grandfather up forty four oh what else do you like and see come and play with me ability wow turn your best creek grandson anybody could hope for thank you. I'm so glad we found each other and we sound alike it's unbelievable love you great grandson we'll talk to you real soon okay bye wow fabulous now as mark the bagger really think he has a great grandfather I think he does
Climate Cast
What we don't know about polar ice melt
"Support for climate cast comes from Bank of America as one of the largest global financial institutions Bank of America is in a unique position to help society transition to a low-carbon economy, Bank of America, NA, member FDIC. What don't we know about the rate of polar ice melt? I'm MPR chief meteorologist Paul Kutner. This is climate cast. It's a critical wildcard in projecting sea level rise and climate change impacts, just how quickly will the polar ice sheets melt as earth's climate warms Lawrence Padma is with earth and space research. He specializes in Antarctic ice science at the moment, the loss of Antarctic ISIS, accelerating of time. So about twenty thirty years ago, it was fairly close to inbalance, and now there's more being lost than is being gained how good of a handle do we have on metrics on measuring the actual rate of ice loss on the shelf in Antarctica, but doing pretty well. Now, the satellites have been up for about twenty five years. And so we're starting to see how the height of the ice shelves and the ice sheets can change over that time we hear about historically, that there are possible lag times in previous climate warm periods for melting ice in the antibiotic what are the mechanics at work there? It's quite a. A complicated process. But what happens initially is that if you take away and I shall f- than the ice sitting on the ground behind that I shall flow flow into the ocean more quickly. It's slowed down by friction with the bed that sitting on. And so it will excel right over a much longer time than the time that might take to remove ice from the shelves, and isn't it true that we've already seen some of that happened in the past few decades that we have a famous explorer here from Minnesota will stegar, who has crossed a I think the Larsen A N, B I shelves in Antarctica tell us about some of the changes that have occurred there. The Lawson I and the Lawson b I shells to that have totally disappeared in the last twenty years, or so they disappeared largely because the air above them, woma, the ice shelves that we're looking at elsewhere in Antarctica are mostly thinning because of what the oceans are doing as we look ahead Laurie. What wildcards are out there. For projecting future, ice melt and sea level rise. That's an excellent question, probably the biggest wildcard is that we don't really have a good handle on how the different pots of the climate system worked together. So if you're down in Antarctica and you understand how the sea level rise or how I she will change you have to understand the physics of the ice shelf. You have to understand the physics of the sea ice, and the ocean. And also how the atmosphere will change in future climate and these things role working together at the same time making it very complicated system to study Laurie. Padma n- with earth and space research. Thanks for your perspective today. Thank you. Many MS amber Brooks. I'm the natural blue. Mount state park for the Minnesota department of natural resources. So as climate change progresses. And as we get warmer, bisons body sizes, actually get smaller. We found that, that relationship happens. Sophie looked back at the evolutionary record bison. Use actually be much larger animals than they are now currently a male bison is about two thousand pounds females about one thousand five hundred. We're looking at a rise of even a couple of degrees. Those bison are going to lose some of that weight. They're going to become smaller. They're going to be more. Compact, my job is all about giving the people of Minnesota. The opportunity to see the same animal that their ancestors, saw I want you to see the same thing, my grandpa, and my great grandpa, Macri grandpa, and I can't show that to you. If I can't show you a two thousand pound male bison. So climate change is very important to me when we're talking about our bison and the effects that it's going to have on these wildlife, because even though we can look at the effects on us lotta times, we forget. That these animals were here. First repair Lee have any bison left we're fighting tooth and nail to keep that we only have one percent of our prairies left praise. The only place bison can live and now with climate change were couldn't lose these animals in the state that they're in, they're going to be smaller. We may lose them to heat stress through death. This is kind of our American animal. So it's very important to me. That's climate cast with thanks to climate generations talk climate institute. I'm NPR chief meteorologist Paul hunter.
