Katie Boyce and Jared Sandberg for Bloomberg. Executive Producers are George Lavender, Marshall Louie and Jen Sargent for One Tree. I'm Hannah Miller and this is Bloomberg. Broadcasting 24 hours a day at Bloomberg .com and the Bloomberg Business Act. This is Bloomberg Radio. The Senate has approved a 45 days top cap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. The bill passed by a vote of 88 to 9. It now goes to the desk of President Biden to be officially signed. He reportedly is on standby to sign it. The government was set to shut down at 1201 a .m. Sunday if a bill was not approved. The bill includes natural disaster aid and a measure to keep the FAA operational, but it doesn't provide additional funds for Ukraine or border security. It means the government will stay funded at current levels through November 17th. Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith is pushing for a gag order against former President Trump. Jim Forbes has the latest. The order would limit what Trump could say publicly about the ongoing criminal cases against him. Smith initially asked for a limited gag order earlier this month, but updated the request on Friday, citing Trump's threats against witnesses. Last week, Trump claimed General Mark Milley had committed treason and should be, quote, executed. In the gag order request, Smith argued, quote, no other criminal defendant would be permitted to issue public statements insinuating that a known witness should be executed, and neither should Trump. I'm Jim Forbes. The death toll from the Maui wildfires has increased.

This is Bloomberg Radio. The clock is ticking on a government shutdown. Federal funding runs out at midnight with no deal in sight. House Republicans are meeting behind closed doors this morning to find a way forward after failing to pass a short term funding resolution on Friday. The Senate is set to vote at 1 p .m. on its proposed stopgap funding measure, but it's unclear if Speaker Kevin McCarthy would bring the measure to the House floor for a possible vote. L .A. Mayor Karen Bass is among those mentioned to fill Dianne Feinstein's U .S. Senate seat for the remainder of the term. Governor Gavin Newsom said in March he would nominate a black female if Feinstein retired before the end of her term. A spokesperson for Bass said at the time that the mayor would absolutely not consider stepping down to fill the Senate seat. Senator Feinstein passed away Thursday night. Full weekend service is up and running on New York City subways and buses, despite historic rainfall and flooding that inundated the system on Friday. Jennifer Polcioni reports. Governor Hogle praising the efforts of those who kept the city moving on Friday as best as it could, while some areas experienced the most rain seen in some 70 years, she says. Metro North, the LIRR, city subways and buses functioning a day after delays in suspensions as heavy rains poured into the Bass transit system. Hogle crediting M .T .A. leadership with planning ahead by rerouting trains and having pumps in place in advance to clear as much as possible.

Please vacate the space tomorrow. The room will be rekeyed. The email out of the room will be used for speaker office use. Pelosi is currently using a hideaway office, which a handful, because she's speaker, because of her position, it's a tradition. McCarthy allowed Pelosi to occupy the space. McHenry is clearly less keen on it. She slammed the move, calling it a sharp departure from tradition. She said, Sadly, because I am in California to mourn the loss and pay tribute to my dear friend Diane Feinstein, I'm unable to retrieve my belongings at this time. I mean, what an ass bite.

least as much damage as mitch mcconnell just did i talk over and over again about mcconnell making deals with shumer and so i guess we're supposed to ignore the fact that gates made a deal with the democrats and was working behind the scenes and want suckers to be donating to his campaign even though he he he's in a twenty point republican majority district and has no chance of losing i don't

to put it in a very sort of pc way why republicans always fighting with each other except for the left -wing and good question the thing is we were united house republicans to take on the democrats to take on by the take on mitch tunnel and i heard one host not too long ago talk about we're sick of these omnibus bills coming even in this last forty five -day deal you heard what they said on the floor the conservatives not the eight anarchists the conservatives they said it arthy rejected and so he didn't do it could have done maybe it'll be jim jordan maybe it'll be byron donalds maybe it'll

but i've had situations were like all heaven's sake how could they have fought that the uh... i have a tool that i can deal with that it's called jury notwithstanding the birth judgment notwithstanding the verdict i can say there is no possible way that a the jury would have reached that conclusion stand right my following the making law uh... i'm following law i'm an referee but it's hard to factor out my own emotions and i have tools somebody can say well your honor you have to throw out this because it's just like another case well is it just like another case what if the defendant was a red sweater instead of a blue sweater oh and by the way i worked for the columbia daily for a couple of weeks what happened was i went there every day and i wrote a few one i got criticized on because i wrote that some cluclux cluxclanners had murdered some people and then i was told you can't say that how do we know you aren't there well that was what everybody thought anyway yeah we should have absolute community what if we name um somebody that's how it usually comes up you know you call somebody a murderer or a heroin addict that sort of thing a pedophile and if it's done in court yeah i think we should have absolute good lord what a rambling buffoon a rambling buffoon this guy is on the wrong side of the uh the courtroom mr producer they should be getting him checked out to make sure he's not mentally deficient but you see what a papa sassy is really quite incredible and this is the judge this is the judge who's going to make the decisions he says so really doesn't matter if there's a jury there if he disagrees with it isn't that what he said mr producer too i've got a tool in the toolbox you know and he's saying by that jury that is almost never done by a judge and i he acts like can do it routinely if i choose to if something really weird happens and i don't know what he was rambling on about his two weeks working for a newspaper it's really

That's a cigar. I was gonna say like you're like a flavored cigar. Yeah. I was thinking like Swiss or sweet. Like a vanilla or or like. Yeah. Yeah that would make sense. Vanilla. Russian cream. Yeah see that's that's probably whatever it is that all those things have in common. The first thing I ever smoked was a clove strawberry clove cigarette when I was 14 with my cousins Amy and Brian. I the first time I smoked was a clove cigarette. Yeah. Yeah Kim. Yeah I can see that. Yeah we were we were laying down on the driveway cuz cuz both parents were gone there were no cars there and it was I think I don't know it was we were just hanging out she's like I'm gonna go smoke and I was like what? No I actually knew that she had smoked could but she would only do it like in her car like I don't remember her being. That makes sense. Or around I don't remember her doing it around the rinse if you will. That's something I I would I liked clove cigarettes I liked the way they tasted they were delicious I think that's ones that are flavored.

After 148 days, the board of the WGA West and council of the WGA East voted unanimously to lift the strike, effective at 12 .01 Pacific time Wednesday. A judge is ruling Donald Trump and his company are liable for fraud in a lawsuit brought by the New York Attorney General's office. The judge in his ruling found Trump made false and misleading valuations for his real estate assets over the years to secure loans and insurance deals. United Auto Workers President Sean Fain says the union isn't letting up on its demands amid an ongoing strike. He spoke to MSNBC Tuesday, the same day President Biden stood alongside members on the picket line in Michigan. The members, you know, being out there standing up for their future are what brought the president here and it's a great testament to see him come here. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says it would be very important to have a meeting with President Biden to prevent a government shutdown and address the border crisis. McCarthy is hoping to pass a bill that would pair a short -term government funding extension with a series of border policy changes backed by Republicans and opponents.

A highlight from GENC : Innovation at the Core of Marketing with Alyson Griffin, Head of Marketing at State Farm
"Gen C is the generation of the new Internet. In Gen C, the C stands for crypto, but it also stands for creators, the connected consumer and collectibles, both digital and physical with on -chain provenance. It stands for culture and characters, the ones we play in games and the companion ones that AI is building alongside us. It stands for community and digital citizenship and the new set of transparent and trustless tools being built to govern them. These are the people who were raised on a different philosophy on how they look at money, how they look at identity, how they look at privacy and how they look at the hybrid, digital and physical spaces being built all around us. And finally, how they reimagine their relationships with the communities and companies they interact with. We focus on how brands large and small are building for these audiences. Welcome to Gen C. Avery, I have to play you the new intro that I just made for Gen C. So here it goes. Edge of my seat. All right. So you might've noticed that was me not speaking English, but I am going to Portugal next week. So that was me speaking Portuguese. And how did I do that? Well, both you and I have been experimenting with, Hey, Jen's video translation software that utilizes AI to speak in multiple languages. You added an amazing piece that you put up on LinkedIn the other day. If you speaking Hindi, I don't know if you actually speak Hindi or not. Very limited. Very limited. But I just want to throw this stat out before I want to get your thoughts, which our is old friend, Mr. Beast, 50 % of the people who watch his videos don't speak English. And so what he does is hire voice actors all over the world to be the Mr. Beast in their local areas, because he knows that for him to go as global and get as many views as he needs, he has to be in language. And so what do you think about, Hey, Jen, and some of these new tools that are coming that will allow for video translation that is not only only, audio but as you and I have both been playing with, it also literally changes your mouth movements to be speaking the language that you've selected. Sam, thank you for turning me on to Hey, Jen. My first thought was that I was going to use it to connect my grandparents along because we do have a language barrier. And while I was sad to see that Telugu was not a supported language, I was like, it's okay. I'll do it in Hindi. And I sent it and they actually thought it was real because, you know, not everybody is familiar with powers of AI, especially with this sort of intonation, which is amazing. And then I started playing around with it a little bit more. And I want to call out Hey, Jen, but also 11 Labs, which is the voice translation that is powering all of this. Hey, Jen is sort of bringing that video, but 11 Labs does the audio. And we've been working on a couple of little things with 11 Labs in different capacities. I'm really impressed with what they're building. And it's critical because only 14 % of the world speaks English, yet 59 % of the world's digital content is in English. So if you're a person who doesn't speak English, much less, God forbid, is not literate, then you can't access the amazing, wonderful world of the internet that we all know today. It's a massive thing. I think it's early days. And of course, everybody rightfully so has questions on where is this data going? Who owns it? Who's storing it? Hey, Jen is an LA based company. And 11 Labs has raised from a number of investors, including Andre Sinso. We've done some diligence on them, but I think it's early days. But this technology is insanely powerful for brands, but in the immediate term for content creators. If I was a content creator, I would be using this immediately for my target languages, because it'll expand your reach so much, enable you to connect. And by the way, it's not going to be long before that's happening on demand. In real time, I mean. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I did the same thing you did. I recorded a video that I translated into French and I sent it to my friend in Paris. And I said, I've been working on my accent. What do you think? And he gets back to me and goes, oh, like, you're really nailing the language, you're really nailing the accent. Like, you've come a long way. I don't speak French. Because the intonation is like you, right? Right, exactly. It's cloning your voice. It sounds like a white person speaking Hindi. Like, there's some things that are colloquialisms that a local person would never say, but it sounds like how you would speak Hindi if you were very good at it. Yes. I will also say what was fascinating to me was Angelique Vendette, who I also sent the video to, responded and say, okay, here's the problem. It's speaking French Canadian. It's not speaking Paris French. And then I had other friends who because I had put it up on Instagram and for the one in Spanish, I had tagged Mexico and I said, can't wait to get back to CDMX. And someone tagged me and said, no, this is speaking European Spanish. This is not speaking Latin American Spanish. So I do think there is like a lot of nuance that still needs to get worked out in it. But just the fact that I could record a 48 second video that people in Paris and people in Mexico didn't recognize that it was AI at first. I thought it was fascinating. I think you hit it exactly, which is, oh, yeah, if I was a content creator, if I was a brand marketer and I was doing shorts, I think this is a perfect way just to get more reach for your content at a 30 to 90 second level, which should be labeled as AI also. Agreed. Definitely. Cross -country transparency, 100 percent. Yeah, we'll talk about that in a second. But I do think that anyone who hasn't played with the page and video translator or there, you can now do it just by uploading a photo and snippets of your voice powered by 11, as you mentioned. So you can actually create yourself saying anything without even having to record a video at this point. You could all do it by text. So it's pretty fascinating. I'm very excited for where this stuff is going, because this is the kind of use case that I think you and I look at this and we're like, this has a very tactical, tangible opportunity. And I think the stat that you just mentioned, only 14 percent speak English, but 60 percent of the content is in English is such a big business opportunity when you really think about that. So, so relevant. Let's pivot from there to a very related topic, which is I don't know if you saw this week, but TikTok has started using AI labeling and Reddit and Reddit. Right. Exactly. For TikTok, anytime you use one of the filters that utilizes AI, now it's going to be labeled as AI. They also are doing auto detection for people who are utilizing AI software and they want anyone who is utilizing AI for their content to have a label on it. I think this is a step in the right direction. I would love all news content also to be labeled like this, because there's a lot of stuff out there. I read an obituary that was driven by AI about a basketball player who had passed away and it said the basketball player is unliving. So that was the way that AI described him being dead, was that he was unliving. And so clearly there's a lot of stuff that needs to get worked out. But from a brand perspective, from a creator perspective, I think that the idea that we should know when things are being modified feels like the right thing. But do you think that affects the creator economy in any way? I think it's similar to how we do hashtag ad, like trust or transparency is key. We just need to be transparent about using these things. I've thought that for quite a while as it relates to Instagram and TikTok filtering because people get unrealistic like body images. I mean, yes, some of this happens in like magazines and photo shoots and all of that stuff it has for a long time. But I'm all about trust or transparency and the digital ecosystem. Agreed. And I also think there's a healthy respect for knowing when someone might be utilizing a tool. It's a productivity tool. It doesn't mean it has to be less entertaining. It doesn't mean it has to be less interesting. I think our enterprise brands, though, we're still at a place where like we can't just use 11 labs like at scale right now. It's not ready yet. It's like a proof of concept. This is how it could be going. And back to what we've talked about before, it's building the muscle for when this really hits scale, we're going to be ready. Correct. And in terms of just going back to Mr. Beast, who has these 13 actors that play him around the world, he said, our team is very actively looking because it's not cheap to do that. And he said, our team is very actively looking. He thought from his perspective and when their research that it's going to be still a couple of years before we actually see it being good enough where he's comfortable. What he said, which was interesting, is they've done some AB testing where they use the voice actor and then they'll use a cloning. And he said every time he does a cloning, people are calling out that something sounds wrong and it distracts them from the content in the video, which I think for someone like him is just really important to make sure it's landing. Totally, totally agree with that. Yeah. All right. Final story before we get to an amazing guest is Crossmint and MasterCard are going deeper together. So Crossmint powered this artist portal that MasterCard released a couple of months ago. It actually brought one hundred thousand people into blockchain. It was primarily based on music and that was also powered by Crossmint. And it seems that Crossmint and MasterCard are getting in bed together even more with an eye toward small business, which I thought was kind of interesting. Just the idea of easy ways when you think of utilizing your MasterCard to pay for something and then thinking about a reward system that can be on chain, that feels like it makes a lot of sense, right? I hit my 10th time at the coffee shop. I get a little NFT that says I'm a 10 timer and maybe that gets me a free coffee later. But this feels like a very natural, easy way for blockchain and brands to get together. And I want to know if you have any thoughts about that. Yeah, well, I love Rodry and the team and of course, Raja and his amazing team at MasterCard and everything that they've done in this space. So recently connected with Raja and he was like, I'm still very bullish on Web3. And one, I love him for saying that because there's so many mixed reactions right now. And it's amazing to hear leaders who continue to invest, continue to launch programs like their startup accelerator and continue to support these sort of Web3 native businesses, massive bands of what Crossmint is doing. And I think that a partnership between a payment processor and a minting tool makes a lot of sense because you're likely going to be paying maybe not thousands of dollars, but a couple bucks for some of these things. And having that super integrated is a great fit. And shout out to MasterCard for continuing to innovate in this space. I see them. I see Visa. I see the banks really continuing to lean in and identify these enterprise use cases that can make their customers both B2C and also B2B customers lives a little bit easier. Well, we have asked Raja to be on the podcast 27 times, so we're going to continue to ask until he shows up. So, Raja, if you're listening, we're coming for you. Avery, after the break, we are going to come back with Allison Griffin from State Farm, a big brain marketing thinker, so excited to hear her perspectives on marketing, on the metaverse, on Web3, on innovation in general, because she's such a great thinker on that. So we will talk to her after the break. Sounds great.
Elevation with Steven Furtick
A highlight from How Did I Get Here? (Travis Greene)
"Hey, this is Steven Furtick. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Elevation Church, wow, wow, wow. So, first of all, what we're not going to do is act like you don't have the greatest pastor in the world. Come on, can we get real noisy in this building and all around the globe for the Pastor Steven Furtick, Holly, Eliza Graham, Abs, love you. I'm excited to be here. I'm black, and that's just how we're going to start. We're going to start there. My are roots Pentecostal. Pentecostal is like a fraternity or something. They'd be like, that's my dog. It's not a frat, but I was going to use a headset today so I could dribble with my left hand, but I woke up feeling preachy, so I told them, give me a handheld, because we about to go up Elevation. I love Pastor Steven. He is a songwriter. He is an architect, and he is the greatest communicator in the world. To be on his platform is beyond a blessing, but something funny happened to me. I told myself that I would be validated as a good preacher when he invited me. Let me tell you how gracious God is. He refused to allow me to be invited as long as I believed that, because when heaven wants to affirm you, it doesn't use opportunity, it uses opposition. I know you're anointed not by the stages, but by the scars that you got. I need you to high -five your neighbor like you in Ballantyne and tell them, I know I'm anointed. The struggles that you overcome reveal your anointing. We know that the oil on David worked not from the throne he sat on, but by the giant that fell at his feet, and if open doors can make you, then closed doors can break you. Quit waiting on man to validate you. I'm afraid that in our churches, heaven believes in us, and I'm going to tell you something you never heard before, hell believes in you. This is why the devil and all his imps and wimps have been coming against you, because he know how much you carry. He doesn't bother you if you're not a threat, but if the devil has been trying to come against you and your family and your neighborhood, I need you to give God ten seconds of praise like you know no weapon formed against you. Shall prosper. Come on, praise him like you're an overcomer. Praise him like the battle's already over. I'm not praising him for a victory. I'm praising him from a place of victory. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. And so I have a very prophetic word for elevation. It's really for the Columbia campus. Because they up the street from me. But if the shoe fit, you can wear it in here or Orlando or Greenville or wherever you're watching from. I told them to send me a list. It was too long. What y 'all do have is some campuses. My God. We're going to be in Mark, and it's my custom to share the title after I read the scripture, but today I'm going to share it before. I believe God is about to bring your name up. I don't know how it happened for me. I was minding my business, and chumps texted me and said, are you available? And I'm wondering, how did my name get brought up? God's about to bring your name up. Because this is the season, hear me, that God ain't looking for gifts. I got degrees, but I'm going to talk how I want to talk. God ain't looking for gifts. He's after hearts. There's so many people that can sing, man. We don't need another song. We need hearts like Chris and hearts like Jen and hearts like John. Man, we need hearts. God's about to bring your name up. Here's the title for today. How did I get here? How did I get here? Let me preach because my wife told me I take too long to transition. I'm not going to show a family picture. They're all on the ground, but my wife is a dying piece on the front row. I love you. Mark 10, 46. Then they came to Jericho. I teach at Ford City that you can't just read the Bible. Oh, snap, you've got to read the Bible. It's the second read. Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with the large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus, which means son of Timaeus, was sitting on the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. Many rebuked him. Don't you hate when you're sitting next to the loud one? You're like, okay, I get it. You grateful. I am too, but my God. They told him, be quiet, fam. Jesus. You ever brought your mama to church? I said, mama, I'm preaching at Elevation. Do not come. My mom be tearing the whole row up in the back. I said, be quiet, man. But he shouted all the more. I love that. Son of David, have mercy on me. I really want to preach this next verse, but I got something else to preach. But the next verse says, Jesus, stop. Whoo. There is a DB, if you're into audio. There is a frequency. There is a shout that is packed with enough desperation to get a busy Jesus, a focused Jesus to stop. Oh my God. Are there any praises in the room that know how to get him to stop by? Come on, the only reason I'm in church today is because he stopped by. The only reason I'm in my right mind is because he stopped. The only reason I didn't cut somebody this week is because he stopped by. He stopped by, he stopped by, he stopped by. When he stops, anything is possible. Who am I to deny what the Lord can do? Whatever's impossible for you is easy for him when he stops by. All right, let's keep reading. You ready to sit down. He stopped by and said, call him. I like that. So they called the blind man. Cheer up! On your feet, he's calling you. Now the way my imagination works, I wonder if these are the same people who just told him to hush. That's why you can't listen to people. One second they saying hush, next second they saying cheer up! Cuz, what do you want from me, dog? I mean, throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet, came to Jesus. Here's Jesus. Jesus is really funny. He said, hey, what do you want me to do for you? Blind man's like, ah, let me see. He said, Rabbi, I wanna see, man. I like this. Go, Jesus said. has Your faith healed you. Your shout has healed you. Your resilience has healed you. Somebody, it took your last 20 to get to church today. That's the thing that healed you. The fact that you believed in spite of what you were facing. And the Bible says, I like this word, immediately. I feel it coming, all of a sudden. Immediately. This ain't for everybody. This is just for 50 people and a two year old that can give them a praise and say, that thing about to happen quicker than you can even imagine, immediately. Immediately. He received his sight, followed Jesus along the road. How did I get here? Lord Jesus, I'm gonna pray a prayer. You ready? How did we get here? Amen. You can take your seats. All right, how did I get here? How did I get here? How did I get here? This past week, I went to North Myrtle Beach. That's where my dad is buried, where my mom is from. And we went there to visit my grandma. My grandma is 92 years old. Yeah, yeah. Her classmate was Harriet Tubman. My grandma is so old. She's seen many presidents. And I walk in and my grandma, she's like Isaac. Her sight is fell on her because she's up in age. And she's sitting there with her snuff. You're not from the country if you don't know what snuff is. No teeth, but snuff. I say, my grandma had 14 kids, y 'all. After 10, you don't even feel them no more. There's another child. They just, she got 14 over 40 grandkids. And I walk in and I'm like, grandma. And she's like, whoa, who's that? Get over here. And I go over to her and I say, grandma, it's me. And I can't talk, y 'all. I got speech impediment if you laugh. You laughed and that was not a joke. She's like, ah, I thought it was just me. And my speech marks me. So my grandma, she knew it. And she was like, try this. That's you. I spent some time with her. Something about when your sight is felling, your senses are heightened. And what's interesting about this text, I learned this from Pastor Furtick. You preach every line in the text. So the first thing I want to acknowledge in this text is that the blind man is in Jericho. The word Jericho means fragrance or to smell. Isn't it interesting that he's blind, but he can still smell the roses? So I want to tell you, don't allow your low place that calls you to miss the beauty of the season you're in. He's in Jericho. This is not a mountaintop message. Because most of the people who are asking, how did I get here, aren't on top. You feel like you're at the bottom. You're asking, how did this happen to me? How did I get here? My last great memory was a wedding photo and now I'm a widow. That was my mom at the age of 29 when my dad died on a Sunday morning. I was five years old. How did I get here? How did I get in the back of this police car? How did I get in divorce court? Come on, y 'all, don't look at me in that tone of voice. How did I get here? My life was heading in one direction and then one decision, one thing caused me to get into an uncertain, unfamiliar, and unexpected place. How did I get here? How did I get here? How did I get addicted? How did this happen to my child? How did I get here? And you may think, you may be sitting here thinking like, man, my situation's rough. Listen to me, your situation cannot compare to being blind in the first century.

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.

Jennifer Robbins Bell Is Conquering 52 Marathons in 52 Weeks!
"So today we are going to be learning all about Jennifer Robbins Bell's journey. So let's listen in. Welcome to the show, Jen. Great to have you here. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, we've had a few glitches. One of them being, I thought you were resting from a marathon last week, but you told me you just did another marathon today. Tell me about this journey you're on. So I set a goal for myself at the beginning of the year to run, or try to run, 52 marathons in 52 weeks. Wow. Now which marathon was this? Which week? So this week was week 34. Oh my goodness. So you have run 26 .2 miles every weekend since January. So my schedule is a little bit different. I'm not doing exactly every week. I work in the field of education. So this summer when I wasn't working, I ran more marathons. And right now I'm just trying to be flexible with my work schedule. So it doesn't always work out that I can run a marathon. I have done multiple marathons, like in a series, to try to make up for the weekends that I can't run. Wow. That's amazing. How are you holding up? How's the body feeling? I think that's one thing that amazes me the most, is that I do seem to have a body that's able to recover quickly from doing the long. And I think that, I don't know, I don't know the science behind it, maybe it's because I've done it so much that my body's just like, all right, this is what's going to happen. Here we go. So I don't know. I don't feel like really worn down or sore during, you know, afterwards. I feel pretty good. I mean, I'm definitely tired and, you know, sore. But maybe I'm just getting used to it. I don't know. Yeah. Once you, I think, build up that endurance, it's just another, it's like people who just walk a mile every day. That's what it is for you. So now other than finishing, do you have any goals set each time for times or anything? So it depends. The races that I've been working on, sometimes it's trail, sometimes it's road. I have done some ultras. So it just kind of depends on what the course is for the race that I'm doing. But my overriding goal is to always stay healthy and injury free. Of course, I always want to run as fast as I can. But you have to sort of rein yourself in a little bit when you're doing it week after week. Otherwise, that staying healthy goal will go up the window. So I do like to try to push as much as I can within reason.

A highlight from Ep376: Less Will Go Wrong With A Checklist Like This
"You'd be surprised how many things you can make a mistake when you don't have a good checklist and a lot less will go wrong if you listen to this episode, take a good note and have a checklist similar to what I'm about to share. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up, podcaster? It's your host, Adam A. Adams. And funny story is that this last week I was playing with different microphones. I switched from a different mic to the mic that I'm using now and I didn't check everything. And I ended up recording a couple of episodes that sounded pretty bad. One of them was a solo episode and the other is an interview episode. And so unfortunately, I'm going to go back and rerecord the solo episode another time. Took me like more than a half an hour the first time. And, you know, time is valuable. Time is money. Time is our most valuable asset. You've heard all of that. And I wasted it. I wasted it by preparing, getting in the right headspace and then pressing record. But I mistakenly didn't have the microphone hooked up to where it needed to be hooked up. And if you don't have the microphone hooked up to the right mic, then it'll sound crappy. And for a solo episode that's about a half an hour, I don't want to put you through that. I don't want to put you through having to listen to that. I don't think that's the right thing to do. And so I'm actually going to go and I'm going to re -record that episode and record it again. So my teammate, luckily, Jen, reached out to me and she says, hey, you know, the audio quality doesn't sound normal. I'm not sure what's going on. And she sent me these two recordings, the one that's a solo and the one with an interview. And I listened to it and I'm like, shit, man, I'm using my webcam mic. So it's because I turned my RODECaster off that disconnected my microphone. And then when I came back, it just, I didn't double check. I did double check in the beginning of this episode before I started recording this one. Of course, I went in and I was like, I need to do this. And it brings me back to when I was a newer podcaster, I was better at using a checklist. I had a checklist of six different things. Today, I'm going to talk about 10 ideas and you can take them or leave them. I'm going to give you like 10 ideas that will go on a checklist that will help you. But when I first started, I kept on recording. I kept on thinking that I was recording an episode, but I never pressed the record button. So I'd sit there for all of that time and energy, but I never even pressed record. Another bad thing is to actually record the episode, but not be using the right mic. And so your sound quality sounds really bad and it's hard to understand you. It's hard to hear you. And the echo and the reverb kind of gets in the way of the content for your listener. And so I had a checklist and a couple of the things were make sure that you press record, make sure that you're using the right microphone. So double check the microphone every single time before you record. And it reminds me of a story that my buddy of mine told me. It's about an airplane and how he literally almost died. I'll share that in a second. Before I share that with you, maybe I'll go over these 10 things that you could use as part of your own checklist. The 10 things that I've got written down here are A, make sure that you get enough sleep. It kind of sucks to go into a recording when you don't get enough sleep. So potentially you could even have as part of your checklist, make sure I go to bed at 9 PM the night before or 10 PM or whatever works for you. Make sure that I sleep in until 7 AM on this day because I really got to be functioning well and sleep is an important part of that. Another thing that you may add to your checklist. The second thing that you might want on your checklist is food. Now, some people say that you are a lot more groggy. It's harder for you to think clearly. Some people and I would say venture to say more of the doctors and neuroscientists are going to agree with this. They say if you eat within two or three hours of recording, your brain function is just not going to be as good because kind of like the digestion, the energy that is taken to digest all that food. It takes some resources from the rest of your body, your mind, and you are likely to have a worse recording if you eat right before, especially if it's a big meal. And so the thought is for you, is that right or is that wrong? If you don't eat, are you stressed? Are you going to be more distracted because your stomach is growling or are you going to have more energy? It's possible you might have more energy by eating. But most of the science would point to don't eat within three hours. So you might say if you're going to have a lunch break and you're going to go out to a restaurant and have a big meal, like let's just say noon, you probably wouldn't want to have 2 p .m. appointment for a podcast if you knew that you were going to be eating or drinking alcohol or something like that. So just make this as a consideration. Am I in a fasted state or am I in a fed state? Whichever one works best for you. Again, I'll repeat that on number two about food that the science would normally point to that you shouldn't eat within three meals of a time that you have to be eloquent, have a time to be able to think sharply, ask good questions to your guests or put out really good content. You just need to consider if food or the lack of food should be part of your checklist. The third idea that I've got for you as part of this checklist that you may or may not use is pre prep. It's what is the pre prep that I've done or am doing or the research? And so, for example, I'll just be completely honest with you. I don't really do a lot of pre prep. I might be a bad example of this, but I don't mind winging it either. I don't mind jumping in. And I think we can always have a great product for our listener by the way that we go into something. So pre prep on a solo episode would be do all of your research ahead of time and pre prep on an interview episode. Like, for example, you read that guy's book or you read that you go to her blog or you see what her company is or you check out what stages he's been on or you listen to her podcast prior to the recording or you read her blog or whatever it is. You do some research on that person. You find them on LinkedIn. You see what they're posting about. You get to know them. You get to know their book. You get to know their podcast and that can arm you with other additional questions. Now, for me, I'm more than happy, at least on my podcast, the podcast on podcasting. I know that I can ask questions that is going to benefit my listener regardless if I do that or not. I'm going to save my time and that's not going to be on my checklist. Might actually need to be on yours. So again, the third thing is your pre prep, which is research, doing your due diligence on the person that you're interviewing. The fourth thing that I have written down that is a huge possibility for you is your wardrobe and makeup. So for example, I don't wear makeup. I can't say that I never have. There was a Halloween that I had a little bit of fun. I'll say that much, but typically saying that's not for me. I don't really have any makeup that I need to wear. It might be because I'm a guy or it might be because who knows, but that's just not something I have to focus on. So the makeup isn't going to be part of mine. But maybe, you know, shaving my beard, maybe giving my beard a trim or doing my hair or putting on a hat, maybe making sure that I have a collared shirt on or a button up shirt or maybe just making sure I have a shirt at all. Because sometimes I record sleeveless. I'll get home from the gym. I'll have some energy. I would have had an idea that came to me while I was doing some curls or some push ups or something. And then I'll have an idea and I'll just run home and I'll get excited about it. Jump right on the computer and start recording. But again, the fourth thing is consider your wardrobe or your makeup. Am I wearing? Am I looking the part that I want to look? Am I showing up the way that I want to show up for my person? And that also goes to your solo episodes, especially if you're recording. Listen carefully, because I've got some ideas here on the wardrobe and makeup on your solo episodes. There's a couple of reasons why you might want to do this. Number one is if you're recording video, then of course, you're going to want to look good on camera. But here's the secondary thing that most people don't think about is if your hair's messed up or even if you like forget to brush your teeth and you got rank breath, honestly, we'll distract you. Honestly, we'll take some of your confidence away. In some cases, if you're not wearing a suit jacket or even a collared shirt or something, for some people, that action, that omission of not putting on a certain thing or having the makeup done or having your hair done or having deodorant on or brushing your teeth or something like that, it will distract you so much that you'll put out bad content. You will not be able to put out good content. And so it gets into our mentality, it gets into our psychology and actually has us put out worse product than we could if we were to dress sharp. So even just doing a solo episode, regardless if we're recording it for the video to be shown at all, it may be in your best interest to look the part. The thoughts in your mind when you are looking sharp and feeling sharp, feeling like you did something like even just making your bed that day, hey, I'm going to make my bed. Now I feel better. Now I can go and do the rest because how you keep your house is how you do everything. That's what they say. So just make it a consideration. Should I add, you know, what my wardrobe or hair or makeup or making my bed is going to be? Should I be trimming my beard, whether I'm using video on or whether I'm having the video off? Make that consideration. Should I put this on my checklist? The fifth thing that you may want to have on your checklist is, am I standing up? I used to have a standing desk and I had a sitting desk and I started recording all of my episodes sitting down and then I found out that it will work better. You will have a better energy if you stand up. And so I would try to remember to go over to my other computer because I didn't have a convertible desk. My desk wasn't able to convert from standing to sitting. I had two different desks. I had a sitting one with three monitors and a standing one with two monitors. I did most of my work on my sitting desk with my three monitors, but when I wanted to put out a good product, I would go over to my other desk and I would stand up. And by standing up, I would have a better energy. I would approach it a little bit easier. And actually, when you're sitting down, you kind of close off your diaphragm. And so it's harder for you to breathe. It's harder for you to catch your breath. And in some cases, you sound like you don't want to be there. So for me, I would try to remember I'm going to get out of this desk and I'm going to go to the other desk. Or for others, you have to remember, hey, I've been sitting down, but for recording, I want to be standing up. And so you might convert your desk. Either way, I'm not saying you absolutely have to stand up for your recordings, but it is a good idea to stand up for your recordings. You will actually have better energy and you'll sound better and it'll just sound like you are more clear and ready. I believe that I think better on my feet. I know that sounds interesting. Excuse the pun, but I really believe that I think better when I'm on my feet. When I'm sitting down, I am more sluggish. I am more tired. I am more relaxed. When I'm standing up, it gives me that little bit of energy. And when I had the two different desks, I actually just closed down that office. Now I just have a home office. When I had that office, sometimes I would start recording sitting down and I'd be like, ah, I actually can tell that I'm not getting as good of a recording right now because I'm doing it seated. And so I had to remember to stand up to either convert my desk or to get up and go to the other desk or whatever it took to actually be standing. Because I would prefer that. And so if that's you, you might want to add that. Hey, make sure I'm standing up. You write down your own checklist and you go down the list. Sleep. Yep. I got plenty of sleep. Food. Yep. I remember to fast. Meal prep. No, not meal prep. Pre -prep. Research. Yep. I know about this person that I'm going to be interviewing. I have some ideas of what I'm going to ask her. And so I'm ready to go. Makeup. Wardrobe. All right. Am I wearing clothes that I feel comfortable in that make me feel energized, that make me feel proud of myself or confident about myself? And same thing with your breath and maybe even your stinky pit in some cases, right? Think about those things. And then the fifth one is standing up. The sixth one is a mic check. This is the one that I keep freaking messing up. And remember, remember for a second, I've got a story about a checklist about my friend literally almost died. Like he was really, really close to dying because he didn't follow the checklist. And so I will share that, but I want to get through these 10 things and we're going to take a quick break and then I'll share the story about my friend who literally almost died. Like not figuratively, actually was so fricking lucky that he's alive right now. All right. So number six was a mic check. What that means, I use Zoom. And so what I do to test my mic is that I go into the Zoom settings at the time that I'm starting it and I check my microphone. I push test mic and then it'll play it back to me and I'll make sure that the sound quality is what I'm looking for, that it's using the expensive mic that I spent the money on. Then why am I not using it rather than using my webcam like I did recently? We're going to get into that. So number six was a mic check. So you do a mic check. You make sure that you're using the right mic. Number seven is you do a pre -interview. These 10 things that I'm giving you, they don't have to be your exact checklist. But this is a framework of how to build your checklist. The seventh thing is to do a pre -interview. Now, I don't have this written down on a checklist of mine. Even back in the day, I didn't have it written down. It was so natural to me. I didn't have to write it down. You might want to. The thing that I would do and always do is before I start recording, I naturally do this. I say, this is who my avatar is. This is who my listener is. Tell me what you would like to pour into them. If you only left this podcast today with me and you only said one thing to that person, what would it be? And so that has always become part of my natural way to go. Before I start recording, I do. That brings me to an extra thing that maybe you should add to your checklist. Cause I've made this mistake before as well. So I'm going to actually give you 11 things. That's funny. I just came up with another one that I've made the mistake. And so I'm typing it down to make sure that I share it with you. I've made this mistake before and it is that I jump into the recording. I might just be meeting the first person for the first time, or I might know their first name, but not their last. And maybe they have a complicated first name or spelled super weird or from a country that you're not familiar with. Like a culture that is new to you, you know, where they have silent letters where you would normally want to use that. Like French language and English language are very different. There's a lot of silent letters in English that are completely different than the silent letters in French. And you get all of these new things like X's do a certain thing in the Spanish language, X's do a certain thing in the French language, X's do a certain thing in the English language. And in some cases they can be pronounced in different ways or the vowels might be a soft vowel or a hard vowel. There's a number of things. And so what I continue to do is I'll actually done this so many times with the person's name where I do all of the other things. And then I jump in, I'm like, welcome back to this podcast, whatever your podcast name is. Welcome back to the podcast. It's your host, Jon Smith. And today I'm joined with shit. How do you pronounce your name? Okay, let's start over. So there's an option. So you should just do it in the beginning as a part of your checklist. Like you should just make sure and verify that you are pronouncing somebody's name the way that they want you to pronounce it saying maybe they go by a nickname. Maybe they go by John or Jonathan. Mel or Melanie, whatever. Maybe they go by something else. So how do you want to be addressed? How do you pronounce your name? Okay, cool. And now you're in, now you're ready. Something that I hear people do is I just mentioned, I'm like, Hey, this is whatever podcast today I'm joined with shit. What's your name? I've recorded a couple of times where I've been in that position where I'm like, crap, man, I actually don't know how to pronounce your name. And then they correct me while I'm recording and I've published it that way. And I don't agree with that at all. I feel like that's the wrong thing to do. I don't think I should have done that. And I don't think you should do that. If you don't know how to pronounce somebody's name, you should get that cleaned up in the pre -interview time prior to ever actually recording. So you might ask them in the pre -interview, you might double check, Hey, how do you pronounce your name or what name do you want to go by? You might ask, what do you want to pour into my perfect listener? This is what they're going through. This is what they're worried about. What are you passionate about? Those are some good things. So I'm going to say that number seven is the pre -interview where you try to figure out all of those details. I'm going to say number 11 is making sure you're pronouncing the name right. Then go back into number eight, the avatar. Who is your avatar? Here's the thing that I've noticed. This happens so many times. Somebody is going to record an episode and they will not have their perfect listener in mind. They'll have a general idea of who might be listening. And they might even think that they have multiple avatars and so they're doing whatever or they might think that they're talking to a whole stage. Yeah, sure.

A highlight from 110 - Wait What?
"I'm ready to smoke some fucking weed. I am too. Let's get this shit going. Hello, welcome to Mutually Codependent with Adam and Jen. I am Adam. And I am Jen. Welcome. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for joining us today. You giggle as soon like like we'd hit the record button and just totally different mood. I love it. I need to I need to figure out how to bottle this mood for you. So like when I do something wrong and you're irritated with me and I'll be like, hey, and then it'll be like podcast mode. I'll just throw you your headphones. That's the key. Like you put your headphones on and you're just suddenly in a better mood. You make me sound so grumpy. No, no. Yeah, no. I said when I do something wrong, I was very careful with my choice of words. Yeah, I guess that's true. As I usually am. What are we smoking today? We are smoking a new strain that we haven't had on the show before. Oh, shit. Super exotic lemon punch. Super exotic lemon punch. It's a hybrid. It gives a lot of energy, helps with focus. It's apparently really great for stress and ADHD is what I read on Leafly. I would say that's true. I have smoked it before. I'm going to I'm going to mention that we've been doing pre rolls up until now and I bought a bubbler today. He did buy a bubbler. And so I'm going to I'm going to be using that. So if you hear different sounds, that's why I just wanted to brag about it. But tell us more about the super exotic lemon punch. I will. Okay, so has twenty five point four percent of THCA and zero point two four percent Delta nine THC as our strain of the show. Super exotic lemon punch is courtesy of syntax CBD in Texas. Canna Health, our exclusive sponsor. The main term they buy that syntax CBD and syntax CBD dot net. And if you use the code pod 15, that's pod one five, you'll get 15 percent off your purchase. That's for listeners only. Obviously, yeah, so the the main terpene found in this strain is terpenolene terpenolene terpenolene. Yeah, so terpenolene if you don't know what a terpene is, the terpene is a different chemical compound. Compounds in the cannabis plant that make it have that supposed indica or sativa or hybrid feeling. Which people will argue with that, but don't listen to the terpenes and the the cannabinoids are what make the effect as far as any science knows. So, yeah, and terpenolene is found also in apples, sage, nutmeg and lilac. So it's a very herb and floral type flavor. It's delicious. I was I was playing with the new bubbler and like just fresh flower with no fire. And of course, like brand new clean piece. So there's no like grossness. Also super nice. I had a little cough, but not too much. But I was doing it without the fire and I could taste the terpenes in it like I could get the flavor of the flower. I think I might start doing that with flower as we get new stuff so I can taste it as soon as I burn it. I can't really taste the different terpenes as much. I mean, yeah, it has a different taste a little bit, but I just don't feel like I can be as precise. Yeah, with all that smoke. Yeah, it's supposed to give you a very uplifted feel. A very it's a focused, energized, uplifted feeling is what I read. Yeah, apparently it's great for people with ADHD. I needed this the past month.

"Hello, and welcome to Mutually Codependent with Adam and Jen. I'm Jen. And I guess that makes me Adam. I don't think I did that right. You did. It's close enough. It's good. If you wouldn't have brought attention to it, nobody'd even know. Oh, okay. That's all right. So hello, everyone. Hi, how are we today? Another week with weed. Speaking of, so by now you should know we're eight episodes in plus a pilot. You know what's happening. We got the strain of the show. The strain of the show today is a THCA flower brought to you by Texas Canna Health called Ice Cream Cookies. Yeah. Yeah. Ice Cream Cookies, ICC, which actually ICC can also be ice cream cake. So watch out. You got to read the label. According to our packaging, Ice Cream Cookies is considered an indica, leaning or feeling strain. Quote, this strain is the perfect example of a sugar rush with a high cerebral beginning and a sedating ending that will stay with you for quite some time. I agree. I think that's a good explanation of what how the strain makes you feel. It's a good one. It's a good description. Probably. Yeah, I think I mean, it's just whoever's selling it is the one doing that. I think Renee puts these together based on what other people talk about it, because I don't think I'm an expert in describing how like, yeah, I got high. It felt good. Or, you know, I've had some feedback with some where I was like, it was fleeting. It seemed to go away soon, but, you know, whatever. So this particular strain, THCA 22 .1%. It'll get you there. The Delta 9 THC surprisingly low here at point one six percent. So certainly considered hemp by federal law, as far as I understand it. Yeah, it is under the point three percent to be considered hemp, but still intoxicating because lawmakers don't know science. So that's cool. For us, sometimes good for them, good for good for this, this little bit, but bad for so much more. Oh my God, these same people that don't understand, you know, the simple science are the ones making rules for all of our health care and all of our laws. And, you know, these guys are making rules for our fucking bridges. And they're none of them are structural engineers, you know, I mean, yeah, how do they know how much money they need to spend on shit? Anyway, tangents, I haven't started smoking yet, so I need to do that and give me the opportunity to do that. I know you have a story about what you just did this past weekend. I yeah, I do. I got to cross a bucket list item off. I have a pretty extensive bucket list, though, because I've always wanted to make sure. Well, in the spirit of my favorite human that ever existed on earth, sorry, Adam, my grandmother, my nana, Marlene, she, her and I had an incredibly close relationship and she always told me to live life to the fullest. So I've always had a pretty extensive bucket list. But one of the things that was able to be crossed off this past Friday, August 18th, was Landon and I, we had the opportunity to go see Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg! Yeah, so it was Warren G, Too Short, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg, the High School Reunion tour. It was the most fun I've ever had at a concert by far. Yeah? Oh, yeah, I would 100 % 10 out of 10 go again, regardless of how hot it was. Because it was just so much fun. And everybody was having fun. Everybody was happy. Everybody, except for that one weird family.

"Welcome to Mutually Codependent with Adam and Jen. I am Adam. Hi, guys. I am Jen. How are y 'all today? How are you, Adam? I'm good. This is our podcast. I feel like it's been a while. It's been over a week since we've recorded. Yeah. We've had a bunch of stuff going on, but we recorded everything early enough to release it on time, so we're not going to miss any time. We have a couple on deck. A couple on deck. At all times. Yeah. Just in case we screw it up for a week or two. Yeah. Or whatever. Just in case. But yeah, we're back. We're ready to roll. And we just listened to our last episode. And that was good. I think we're figuring this stuff out. I think we are. What? Let's get right to it. Okay, let's do it. Let's get it. Let's get it done. What are we smoking? We are smoking sherbet. Sherbet. An indica. Oh, sorry. Okay, let's start that over. Today we are smoking sherbet, an indica dominant hybrid, which is a pretty powerful strain. It has a full body experience with a cerebral field that will leave you euphoric. That is what it is described as. That's what our label says anyway. Yes, it has 22 .6 % THC -A and 0 .27 % Delta -9. Barely legal again. THC. I just realized I don't have to wait for you to tell me what it is before I light it. You can light your free roll, bad boy. I should have done it this whole time, because we each have our own this time. Yeah, you go crazy. So yeah, this is a good strain. I like it. We've smoked it a couple times already. It's an indica dominant hybrid. How would you describe it? I'm pretty sure the microphone just picked up the flare up of flame that was like four inches tall when I lit this up. I think I heard it go. We'll find out. Yeah. Okay, what? Sherbet. Yeah, it's tasty. It's pretty good. It's mild. Like the flavor, it's a little sweet, vanilla -y. I don't know how to describe it. I'm not good at describing stuff like that. It has kind of a tobacco taste to me. Sometimes. Yeah, I'm not sure what it is. It's not awful, though. And I like the effects. It makes me kind of giggly. So that's always a plus in my book. But yeah, so that's what we're smoking today. And that is courtesy of our sponsor, Texas Canna Health and Syntex CBD. Syntex CBD? Syntex CBD. Not Syn -Sex. No, Syntex. Sorry, I didn't... Little different company. I didn't pronunciate that and I apologize. So if you don't know, Syntex CBD is the store. That's what you would Google if you're in the Central Texas area if you wanted to visit a local actual shop. And if you want to go online, it would be SyntexCBD .net.

A highlight from THE HASH: The Best of 'The Hash' Over the Years
"Hey there, welcome to the last episode of The Hash. For now at least, it's a three box Thursday. I'm Zach Seward. We got Jensen Asse. We got Will Foxley. We're pouring one out for a great 2 .5 plus year run here on Coindesk TV. Also, Coindesk Podcast Network. It's all good stuff and all good things must come to a close. And today it is that close. So we're just going to look back, have fun, keep it loose, and maybe even talk to some other folks. But first, I think we have a highlight reel, which none of us have seen, which is a little scary. I'm very scared. It's like I'm very anxious. I am very nervous. I am going to just take the leap of faith. I'm going to throw it to the highlight reel. We're going to react. But let's watch this montage. Take it away. Gary Gensler was confirmed as the next SEC chairman. Gary Gensler said that federal financial regulators should be ready to bring cases against bad actors in crypto. Gary Gensler went on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning and said crypto investors need better protection in a space that is significantly non -compliant. Gary Gensler was getting it from all sides. They're alleging that it's the fall of Gary Gensler's SEC for failing to provide those rules of the road. We haven't had any progress. We haven't had anybody step up to check Gary Gensler and the other public servants that are getting paid with our taxpayer dollars. And that's where I draw the line. Hi, everyone, and welcome to The Hash, your daily beat on crypto news and culture. This comes, you know, I forget how many days after Elon seemingly trolled the world by putting Bitcoin in his Twitter bio. And now I guess we see why he may have been so keen on doing that. I mean, for the last few days, we've been talking about Bitcoin and other crypto assets just becoming really mainstream this year. And I think this just kind of pushes us more in that direction. Who do you think the next Tesla is going to be? Who is buying the next billion dollars worth of Bitcoin? Oh, my goodness. I got to get out of the tarot cards for this one. Now, Coinbase is the largest U .S. exchange, but I just thought this was really, really interesting. And it's reporting that, you know, shares on the secondary market are currently going for around $300, which would at its current valuation make the company more valuable than the New York Stock Exchange parent company. People are super excited about this public listing of Coinbase. Obviously, it comes at a time when Bitcoin is above $50 ,000, I think, on last check. So the timing is right for this blue chip crypto exchange, as it may one day be seen as to go public. The market value of Bitcoin has surpassed one trillion dollars. A big moment for this space. Still about a tenth of the way to the market value of gold. People is making bank and waves in the digital art world. Every day is the first 5000 days has sold for I cannot believe it. Sixty nine million dollars. That's including fees through Christie's auction house. Now, this was the first purely digital artwork to be auctioned by a major auction house. And now people is among the top three valuable living artists. They're accusing Google of using privacy to kind of keep up a fence around its market share, which is huge. And that's because they say we can't do our jobs as effectively if you remove third party cookies. But there are loopholes in other ways that Google will continue to kind of track data on customers. Meanwhile, Google, on the other hand, is saying, you know, we're pushing privacy because we do value, you know, the ability for people not to be tracked. And, you know, there have been privacy concerns over Google for a while. So it's sort of like privacy has become this interesting tug of war between these two parties. And the fact that it's getting roped into this antitrust suit or action is just kind of fascinating. I think it's something we might see more of. Doge supporters are calling for this to be the inaugural Doge Day. The aim for those people is to push the price as high as possible. There's the idea, Jen, when you say that people are just trying to push the price as high as possible. I'm just like, oh, my gosh, like who's going to be left holding those bags? Right. Because it's going to correct. It's going to come crashing down. So, you know, it's all fun and games to get involved with this meme coin and go and have fun. Let's not take it too seriously. But do realize that there is real money. At stake here, this is a big round, one of the bigger ones that we've seen in recent memory. And it suggests that investors are still seeing opportunity in these markets. I'm going to throw this to you, Will, if someone seems to be crawling behind you, which is a fun look. So I'm going to toss this to you for your take. I thought we were just going to let that go. You should have Zach. It's all right. No, my pipe burst my house last night and now I have people crawling all over trying to fix it, which is kind of fun to do in the middle of show. But, you know, that's how it is. DeFi represents the ability to use your crypto without spending your crypto, which I think is really attractive to a lot of people who have committed value to these platforms. And then sort of on the whale side or on the professional trading side, you know, you over collateralize for some of these loans, but you're able to sort of cover the costs of that loan by way of making bets that are likely to pay off across the rest of the ecosystem. There are just epic privacy concerns. There are epic financial sovereignty concerns when you start to move into central bank digital currencies. So this idea that we still have cash is this backbone of society. We can still use it. We can still retain control over our finances is rubbish as soon as you try it. So I am I am terrified of these new central bank digital currencies. I'm terrified that we're moving into more of this programmable, controllable monetary world. I'm not excited about this world. And that is why I'm so excited about decentralization and the world of cryptocurrency. El Salvador is going to be like a really interesting case study when we're looking at Bitcoin adoption because it's like legally enforced as opposed to a voluntary way that it's been kind of pushed beforehand. Like everyone's coming like, hey, go and add open now or go and add something that allows you to take Bitcoin payments. But in El Salvador, you have to do it.

A highlight from THE HASH: FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Frieds Planned Defense Irrelevant Without More Details, Govt Says
"This is the hash podcast. Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the metaverse, Web3 and more. All on the hash for your ears. You're listening to the Coindesk podcast network. Hello, hello, and welcome to the hash on Coindesk TV and the Coindesk podcast network. This right here is the penultimate episode of the hash before we go on an extended indefinite hiatus. And we are going to have a fun time, I assure you. My name is Zach Seward. We got Jen Senassi, Wendy Oh, Will Foxley. We're the hash. We have plenty of news to get to, including an SPF update that Jen is going to explain for us. Thanks, Jen. What's going on? Another day, another SPF update. We can't get away from it. All right. The Department of Justice said in a filing on Tuesday that Sam Bankman Fried's plan to argue that his lawyers approved alleged fraud during his time at FTX should be struck down for being irrelevant. U .S. Attorney Damian Williams said in the filing that SPF should specify the legal advice or abandon the proposed defense altogether, while SPF's attorneys say that sufficient disclosures were made and that his client's conditions in jail have violated the U .S. Constitution. Will, tossing this one off to you, what do you make of this? Is this just lawyer stuff? Is this just stuff we got to get done? Can I ask you that? You're the lawyer on the show. I'm not I'm no lawyer, no lawyer at all. I'm just a crypto boy. The alleged lawyer. Oh, wait, wait. Crypto boy or Bitcoin boy? Choose your words wisely here. In reverence of the famous TikTok video, I will be a crypto boy. Back to SPF, our other crypto boy in this story, not having a great time. Apparently, he's also having some bail bond issues. Of course, he covered that last week where they got rid of his bail. He was on bail for $250 million. But then he started tampering with witnesses and the DOJ wasn't a big fan of that. They went to the prosecutors, went to the judge, got his bail revoked. He went to prison. He's in Brooklyn right now in jail, awaiting his trial in October. And there's some disputes going back and forth about him being able to prepare for his hearing. He wants to be let out five days a week. That doesn't really work in jail. So that didn't happen. But they did give him some leeway to go on the internet. They gave him a laptop that had like Microsoft Word and Adobe on there. It was kind of like some fun little nuggets. And then also some limited access to the internet. But he's still not even happy with that. And he was like refusing to go back to his jail cell apparently at one point. So we do have a little bit of a prima donna moment in jail, Brooklyn, which is just, again, more drama for SBS saga. Zach? Zachary Reality I think this is a lawyer's gonna lawyer, right? They're trying to dictate the terms. They're trying to say what's in play, what's out of bounds. They're going back and forth with the judge trying to, again, get their client the best possible shake that they can. I don't know if it's gonna work. There's a lot of crazy information out there, thanks in large part to Sam Beckman -Friede's public statements as he tweeted through it all. He was very much vocal in public during this whole thing. And so it's gonna be hard, I think, to land the things, land the requests that his legal team is asking the judge in this instance. But hey, that's their job. They got to try to get the best possible shake that they can for their client. They're doing so. And now we get to talk about the different drives of the legal proceedings leading up to the crypto trial this century in October. I don't know if there's a ton more to say beyond that. But you know, there's these little updates. They keep happening. This is the legal system. Everyone in crypto now is an expert in bankruptcy law and an expert in the finer points of the legal process. So we get to witnesses, we get to learn as we go. And we get to see little headlines like this that, again, are those sort of little minor updates leading up to the big thing this fall. I think Jen may have some more nuance to offer and I saw her raise her hand, so I'll toss it her way. Maybe not more nuance, but I want to add here just as an addition to what Will was saying, the DOJ is saying that the tech that SPF has access to goes above and beyond what other defendants have been offered. And I think that's important to note here. You know, they're saying that he doesn't have enough to be able to prepare for his defense. But if we look at other people who are in the same situation, they may not have the means or the resources to fight as hard as SPF is to meet with his defense lawyers. I also want to point out here that the DOJ has filed another motion to dismiss all seven of Sam Bankman -Fried's expert witnesses. They're saying that the disclosures are insufficient, experience may be misleading, and that their planned testimony is not relevant. So it'll be interesting to see what happens there. He has seven expert witnesses and the DOJ is saying that none of them should be able to testify. Wendy? I was actually going to ask you that, Jen, because I didn't read all of the article. I know I come so prepared every day. No, there were so many articles. It's not your fault. It's not just one. There were so many. But that's what I was going to ask is, is the tech that he has, is it comparable to other people in kind of similar situations? I don't want to say similar because the type of case it is. And I also think it's important to know, I mean, he is extremely tech savvy and I can understand why the judges are like, no, we don't want you to do this because you have a long history of committing crimes with this type of technology. So to me, it would make total sense. And this is why he has a team of attorneys to kind of navigate and deal with this stuff. And I do understand when you go through the legal system, you were very much involved in your particular case, regardless of the legal representation you have. But at the same time, is he really to be trusted with these types of devices? And I know a lot of people are saying, oh, that's kind of conspiracy is. But really, when you think about it, it's he did bad stuff using technology. So why would we give him access to technology so he can do more bad stuff? And there are ways to get around things and whatnot. So I don't know. I kind of feel like this is warranted. He doesn't have a good track record. All I want to say is he probably had the best tech at his parents' house and he had to go and keep flapping his mouth. So I do actually have some some information really quickly. I did speak to somebody and they did, in fact, say that he does keep track of like a lot of football statistics and just won't shut up. And his legal team is telling him to shut up and he's not listening.

A highlight from THE HASH: Court Rules SEC Must Review Rejection of Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF Bid, Bitcoin Jumps 5%
"This is the hash podcast. Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the metaverse, web3, and more. All on the hash for your ears. You're listening to the CoinDesk podcast network. We got some big news today. It's also Taco Tuesday, and since it's going to be our last Taco Tuesday, you better get ready for some actual tacos. That's a major news, but there is also real major news, and I'm starting us off today. Here we go. Let's go over to Grayscale. An appeals court ruled just today that the SEC must review Grayscale's ETF bid after they were previously rejected. It's being seen as a victory in the prospects for getting a spot Bitcoin ETF into the marketplace in the US, and the market is responding enthusiastically. Bitcoin surged on the news, adding quite a bit of value, and now we're seeing some further chatter about what this means for the prospects, again, of the long -awaited Bitcoin spot ETF. This note, Grayscale is a sister company of CoinDesk. They share ownership from Digital Currency Group, but we're going to talk about it. Gloves off, no holds barred anyway. I'm so excited, you guys. This is the absolute best news ever. The fact that we continue to see the SEC take these massive L's is music to my ears. I really, really feel that they have just been so predatory in their actions and wanting to litigate instead of give some sort of guidelines, help these honest entrepreneurs know what they're supposed to be doing and know what they can't do. To me, that's just super problematic behavior. We should want to support entrepreneurs. We should want to guide people in the right direction, and more importantly, we should want to build back the American economy better. I think with all of these massive wins the crypto industry is seeing, things hopefully will get better. All right, Will, you can take it now. This does not mean the ETF is going through now. It just means that the SEC has to go back and review the application again, and they have to give an actual opinion. There's a few lawyers on crypto Twitter talking about this this morning, what does this actually mean? What did the judge actually say? They basically stated that the SEC did not have a good basis for making its past decision, and now they need to go back to the books, relook at the application, and come up with a better decision, whether that means that this is going to be approved or not, we still have to wait. This probably means it's going to be approved because there's a lot of political pressure now on the SEC after a judge took a look at this and said, you know what, guys? You didn't do your homework. You should have let this pass, or you should have put some more thought into why you didn't want this to go through, and you didn't, so we're kicking it back. Go study the books, and maybe we'll get something out of this. Now, of course, what's on the line? A lot of ETFs are out there. A lot of people are lining these things up. I'd say there's about a half dozen plus ETFs that are possible to move forward over the next 180 days or so, and if that opens up, that means a lot of mom and pop retail investors can get into the Bitcoin market for the first time because they probably weren't comfortable touching Bitcoin in other ways. There's lots of different ways to get exposure to Bitcoin. There's lots of different ways of purchasing financial assets, but an ETF itself means that you can put Bitcoin into your 401k, into any sort of trust with a Schwab or Fidelity, something like that. That means that maybe coin go up. Who knows? A little speculation there. It could have some more apathy because the crypto markets right now are not great, but a lot of people in the crypto industry are looking at this and saying like, this could be our salvation from the depths of crypto winter. Jen? So I look at this court ruling in favor of Grayscale and the partial ruling in favor of Ripple, and I think that there's a glimmer of hope, right? I think that these two cases show us that maybe this clarity we're seeking from the SEC, we are not going to get, but some of these decisions are going to be made in the court, and some of them may lead to precedent setting decisions down the line, or they may at least force the SEC's hand so that we can get some more clarity. So good news all around. I want to point to one of the lawyers who have been commenting on this, who has been commenting on this on Twitter this morning, Jake Trevinsky, who's the chief policy officer at the Blockchain Association. He said that it's rare for a federal circuit court to make a decision like this and said that there are two ways that this could possibly go. The SEC could come back and just provide another reason for rejecting it, or they could say their hand was forced by the court, and so they're going to do it, but it's not because they wanted to do it, but they were forced by a judge. And so it will be interesting to see which way they go. I think it's important to note that an ETF has not been approved, but I think it is definitely a step in the right direction. Zach? Yeah, there's a lot of speculation that once one gets approved, several will be approved, right? So we have the BlackRock one, we have a bunch of other ones, I forget all the names, but there's a ton of Bitcoin spot ETF proposals that are sitting for rejection or approval. And I think the ETF watchers out there in the world have said that maybe when one gets over the finish line, others will likely also get over the finish line, such that SEC isn't seen as picking a winner and giving an unfair advantage to one applicant over the others. So I think that's why there is sort of this buoyant sentiment across the space as a whole. This isn't necessarily just a win for Grayscale, it's potentially a win for others such as BlackRock and others in the space who are looking to offer this product to, again, mom and pop investors who want it in their brokerage account and don't want to have to deal with the nonsense of dealing with the crypto itself. So that, I think, is why that sentiment is out there, why the market has reacted pretty positively. Bitcoin's up about 5 % on the news, a nice little surge given that Bitcoin has been pretty flat around 26K for the last little while now. So interesting to see what's going to follow this, but yeah, definitely the SEC may have taken an L on this one while they fight other fights and may rack up dubs on those ones. And I think we'll talk about that in a little bit. Who wants next? Oh, we're talking about that right now, Zach. NFTs. Sure, let's do it. Yeah, they've entered the chat. So the SEC has issued its first enforcement action targeting NFTs. The regulator ordered Impact Theory, an LA -based media company that raked in nearly $30 million from selling tiered NFTs to compensate investors, arguing that the transactions were illegal, unregistered securities, offerings, Impact Theory has agreed to set up a fund to reimburse investors, destroy remaining NFTs, and they will pay a fine of $6 .1 million. Wendy, going to toss this one off to you. What do you make of the SEC's first NFT enforcement action? We all knew that this was coming. The reason why we knew it's coming is when we're talking about NFTs, people like to call them digital assets or digital collectibles, but that's just really skirting around what an NFT actually is. It is a token. It is a little adorable little token that kind of just lives on that blockchain that's just kind of there, just kind of chilling. But it really depends the way that these entities are set up and how they're using the NFTs, because let's face it, when we do talk about collectibles, again, I was an eBay seller, I would go to thrift stores, I would buy used designer vintage goods or things that I saw that were in style that I knew I was going to be able to flip. Because I knew I was going to be able to flip and make money off of them, it kind of makes you think, is this a security? Is this not a security? But in fact, it's just a tangible good. But that's the kind of the way that I view NFTs. I literally view them as collectibles that you can buy and then you hope that they appreciate, but you're not 100 % sure if they're going to appreciate. For this particular lawsuit, I forget exactly how the company went about it. I'm planning on doing a video on my channel about it, YouTube, CryptoIndio, go subscribe. But I do think it's very interesting. I think we're going to see a lot of other NFT projects get hit. And it's very important if you do plan on launching a project, you probably should obtain some sort of legal advice, just so you have some sort of guidance and just have some basic understanding of the law. Because again, you guys were in very, very uncharted territories. Will, what is your thought about these adorable little single tokens that kind of just live on the blockchain? Are they securities? What's going on? What about the tchotchkes, as Zach would say? I like the tchotchkes, depending on if they're penguins or not. No. Okay. So I think this case specifically more refers to how this NFT rollout occurred. I did see some people, including Zach BTC, who's sort of like the on -chain sleuth of the last cycle, talking about how this NFT drop had some dubious parts about it. And that's why they saw this case going forward, right? This is the first one we've seen with an NFT. So there's that. On the other hand, looking at the dissent from Hester Peirce and others at the SEC who were judging on this decision, they thought it was a little odd to come after a single NFT case. Why? For the reasons Wendy just sort of laid out there, right? We have art markets. We have designer bag markets. People sell these things on street corners, so we're not going after them. But the SEC in this case decided to go after it. I think it does fit a longstanding pattern for the SEC that enforcement actions target select groups and select people where they can have easy case wins. And then that sets sort of like a precedent for the rest of the industry, right? They go after the Ripple Labs, they go after this NFT case, they go after a library. They go after the ones where they think they can sort of win. In the case of Ripple Labs, they have a lot of money, so I don't know how it was the best target because that one's been hauled up in court for the better part of three years. The library one was sort of a slam dunk though, right? They like won that and the library didn't have enough money to go back and fight against them. So they've basically been on a social media campaign. And I think with this SEC one here, you know, it's NFT market, they just had to like put up with it. They had to pay disgorgements and let it go. And that's the case. Now for all these NFT creators out there, they have to think about these things a little harder than they were previously. If that's good or bad, I don't know. I don't love the strategy. The SEC has been walking out for the last few years. I think we've all opined on that a lot in this show. But there is something to saying maybe we should have like a little bit more consumer protection with some of these new markets are popping up. Permissionless innovation is great, but that also means that you have permissionless rugging.

"While I was student teaching. So it got frustrating and I had a big box of stuff to grade and collate and plan ahead for the next maybe the next day or days coming up for their head. And I had to do it at the McDonald's, which was incredibly uncomfortable and cold to sit in and I was frustrated. But this is not the end of this particular journal. So there's more here, and I can tell that I was taking out all my frustrations in this journal when I was writing it at the time. I don't remember feeling better afterwards. But I might have, I don't know. So to continue. One more thing. Because I wanted to do this computer project with the kindergartners, mister D was able to justify asking the tech guy for color printers for the art rooms. The tech guy asked how many were needed. For, and said he would get them if he could. The principles approved it, and now it's up to the school board. It is unknown what is going to happen or when, but it looks it looks great. It won't happen in time for my computer lesson next week, but that's okay. I have a color printer and so does mister D and I have to save to disk anyway, so let's see. The second week of student teaching, I'm helping the art department gain computers, not bad. Okay, one more thing. These schools use a discipline system that involves checkmarks and names on the board. I don't remember the name of this system. Adverse discipline. It goes like this. The first time a student misbehaves, the teacher writes his or her name on the board, right as it happens, says nothing to the student and continues with the lesson. Second time student gets a check mark, 15 minutes after school. Third time another check mark vernie minutes after school. Next, student gets a note home, I think. Next time gets sent to the principal's office. This is supposed to prevent wasting class time on discipline. There are problems with this system in my opinion and mister D's too. He doesn't use it. One problem is that the nature of an art class is freer than other classes, and sometimes it's great to have students talking and sharing ideas. Another problem is that by the first check mark the student is spending 15 minutes after school about half to one third of an art class time. 30 minutes equals all day of class or two thirds of class. A third problem is that if a student ends up staying after, his or her regular teacher ends up staying with the student, not me or mister D, it passes it off, and it gives the wait till your father gets home impression. The biggest problem with this type of discipline in terms of how it affects my student teaching right now? Is that in order to use this system well I have to know all the names of the students. This is just not possible. I have 47 classes of students who I see once every two weeks. I will be doing good if I can remember what grade each is in. I won't be able to memorize all of their names if I go to look up the name on a seating chart, and by the time I write it on the board, either the kid has stopped the behavior or he is actually on the first check mark. It won't work. Not to mention that often I won't be near the blackboard or will have my hands covered in clay, paper, dough, paint, et cetera, it is an unworkable solution. For these reasons, we decided I won't use this check mark system. Instead, I will do what mister D does. Ask the students or the class to stop doing whatever behavior is not acceptable. Get loud if the behavior has the potential to cause physical harm to the student or his or her classmates. Get loud of an incident like the one described above happens, common sense, wonder what my university will think about this. And that's where I'm going to leave off with this one because this is a little bit longer than before. But I was very frustrated at the time. This was not as you could tell my first experience of sitting in

"You are listening to words of gen. Where I read to you one piece of my writing in each and every episode. This is Jen and you are listening to words of gen. This is episode number 75 and it is titled busy busy busy. This is one of the episodes that I'm releasing during now pod pomo 2021, which is national podcast post month and you are to release an episode every day during the month of November or as many as you can that works too. And set it out for the world to hear. So what I've decided to do for napo mo 2021 is regio pieces of a handwritten journal that I was required to write as part of my student teaching experience back in 1997. So I'm calling these the 1997 series. This one is titled busy busy busy and you'll see exactly why and this is where some of the drama starts coming in. Thursday, September 4. 1997 what got done today? I got to read to the first graders today they were very good listeners and seemed to enjoy being read to, that I helped teach a second grade group about the first part of the Dewey decimal system. We taught them that zero zero zero through zero 9 9 is where to find unknown facts, computers, world records, facts, Yeti, Loch Ness, UFOs. I got to read two poems one about a Yeti and another about a Bigfoot. And the kids looked at the covers of books on these subjects as well as the librarians, Star Wars figures to give an idea about zero zero zero through zero zero 9. It worked really well and was lots of fun. I've been told I can come back at any time and help out..

"I called 'em the high school and was told to show up at noon on the first day. I intend to call back and find out what i should have accomplished by the time i arrive. I'm going to leave most of the description of that out for now because it was a high school. I was required to teach for certain number of weeks at either an elementary school or middle school. And then i had to also teach at either. If i picked elementary school than i had to teach at either and Middle school or high school. Which is what those grade levels. Were called in the state that i was student teaching in a refer to it as m the high school to differentiate from 'em the elementary school that i was teaching it i attended the r. e. e. a kickoff meeting. Today it was basically a get together before they start. Assigning tasks it was mostly a social gathering. I met more teachers from other schools and learned some things about retirement that no-one taught me at my university so that was interesting. I have a feeling that. Perhaps some of these teachers had been in the schools for years but some might have been only. There are a couple of years and they very many of them very clearly thought. Okay we need to tell this new teacher what they need to do in order to have a good retirement because no one taught us and we struggled so. We're going to teach her how to do this right so she doesn't struggle now. I believe at the time they're information was good. I didn't write it all in my journal. Because that wasn't the purpose of the journal. It was more of okay. My head is full of stuff with teaching. Now i will consider this stuff later when i get a break or when i'm done with student teaching and figured i'd keep it in my head. I probably lost it. There was way too much information going on between all the stuff i had to do..

Which i'm focusing on mainly in nepad pomo but i also do a podcast called shattered soul stone at shattered soul stone dot com. If you like. The diablo games made by blizzard entertainment. You might wanna check out that show. If you're new to words of jenn for nepad promo twenty twenty one. I'm going to post podcast every day. That includes other podcast during the month of november. What i'm doing with words of jenn is what. I call the nineteen ninety-seven series where i read one piece of my journal. A handwritten journal that. I had to write as part of my student teaching experience and share that with you here. I've taken out the names of the schools and the names of the people and shortened them to one letter. It may be a little confusing. But i think it works. Pretty well overall thursday september. Two today i got the answer to the copyright question that i was wondering about for a few weeks according to mr d if a teacher goes on the internet and downloads some examples of artwork to use in class as part of visual aids. It is allowed. The reason is that if you go on the net and do not have to pay to gain access to that site. It is considered public domain. As far as he knows about this info is correct. This is good to hear. Because i get many of my visual aids in resources from the internet now i want to break in here to provide some context. This was nineteen ninety seven. We barely knew what to do. With the internet's there was a lot less things you could do at that time. Then you could do today right now. If you went to say the website of an art museum and attempted to download some of their art and use it on something with students. You might have copyright issue in my opinion because things have changed so dramatically since nineteen ninety-seven but in nineteen ninety-seven as far as the educators in the united states. Knew it was totally. Okay to just grab pictures and use that as your visual aids right off..

"Not only does this work but it works very well due in large part to the hard work and tremendous effort on the part of mr d. It also works well due to the immense cooperation participation and flexibility of the other teachers and volunteer members to make this program work. It really is wonderful to see such involvement in the art program by the community. The other thing that. I was a bit surprised by was the realization that i could see myself teaching in a similar situation without a classroom exclusively for art and at a number of schools and enjoying it very much i used to think i could not be happy teaching art unless i had my own classroom and that is not the case. I also used to think that a classroom exclusively for art was necessary. And i'm finding that it is very possible to have a great art program in the elementary level with no classroom. I also know that. I should never let a person in charge of deciding on if i should get a room or not know this or so. I'm told it was interesting. I always thought. I need to have a classroom up into the point where i was starting this student teaching experience and it turns out. You don't necessarily need that. And this observation helped in the future. After i started working for boys and girls clubs because we didn't have a classroom either. All the art i did for them was in generally the cafeteria or the gym. Which would in some cases serve dual-purpose. It was the gym and then later it was the cafeteria for lunch and then after that it was the gym again and then after that it was the boys and girls club and there were. There were no classrooms for me to do art in for the most part so i think one school had a classroom for a little while that we could use that. A teacher led us us so that we could do a lot of art history and art stuff. they're nothing messy. And that was it. And i was able to do it and the kids are really excited. Because they didn't really have much of an art program and their teachers didn't necessarily want to do any art with them. So the concept of you don't need a classroom you can still teach. Art was very significant to me at the time and it carried over into the future. What i'd be doing with teaching..

"With you. He was amazed because no one had asked him that before ever and he never thought someone would come. Nba student teacher for him but he wanted one so that worked out pretty well and then for me to come in and be probably the first teacher in the building to say. Hey let's do some art with your kindergarteners on this computer in your class and to figure out how to do it in a way that would engage all of the students at the same time but not all of them at the computer for the same time was kind of that was kind of tricky but if i remember correctly what i did was ahead I think i had like a clay project. Going on like plato. Because he's were kindergarteners and sort of did a little quick lesson to show them how to build something with the plato. Like you can roll it in a ball. You could make a little sort of log with it and you can stack things up and kind of explain how to make like a little sort of a coiled pot kind of thing and so they were real focused on that because they seem to the groups of kindergartners. I worked with the nineteen ninety-seven. Plato was the greatest thing ever and so they were very intently trying to do that as i was calling one student. And then the next and then the next to do the group project on the computer it must have been a mac because it was a paint program like the paint program like probably the first one that existed back in the day and what happened was a- gave them specific choices so the first kid that came over. I said okay. Do you wanna put a color or do you wanna put a shape and they would say which one they wanted so if they had a color i would say okay. Here's where you take the mouse and go over here and this is rican. Pick a color so pick one and they pick one and And then i'd have them move it to the little tiny window that the paint program had and just push the button and it would cover the whole thing and then another Thing i would get them to do is okay. Do you want to do Do you want to do a line or do you want to do you know what kind of line do you want to do. Do you want to a shape instead. And so they decide which one they wanted if they wanted to line i show them where to get the line and how to put it anywhere on the art we were doing and if they did a shape and find them you know the template make them do it and they would do it that way and they all of them seemed extremely pleased with themselves or they were done and then they got to go back and work on their little clay pot with the plato and then the next child would come up and the next child would add to that collaborative effort that was being done only with their kindergarten class. And i had to save all of these little little disks. It wasn't floppy disks smaller discs later. They can hold more. And that way i would be able to print it out not only for my professor but also for these teachers that wanted to include this brand new type of art as they were calling it at the time technological art which cracks me up today to think about that considering how much stuff is done on computers that are you know to make your art now..

"When i was teaching a group of students in that environment around two thousand much later than this student teaching was and they would accidentally call me by my first name in a classroom and get all embarrassed and it's kind of like when a kid calls their teacher. Mom you know that sort of thing so when my friend b.'s children found me in their school. They were very confused because they've never seen me outside of the daycare before and this was a little bit later and some of them had gone to one of them at least was in kindergarten. The other one might have been first grade something like that and there. They were very confused as to. Why was there what i was doing because they would never expect to see a daycare teacher at their school so we had explained that to them and then it was okay. I wonder what they told her. Mom where later when they got home i. I'm not sure what she would say but she was pretty easy going so i think she would have handled that pretty well so to move on with this particular piece of the journal from nineteen ninety-seven I'll continue what got accomplished today. One i got to observe slash participate at l. school and see what that was like in this school. We are teaching in the cafeteria. And i was wondering how that would work. It works well due to the large supply closet adjacent to the cafeteria inside the cafeteria. It also has a pencil sharpener in it. There's also a rolling chalkboard slash bulletin board for our use sinks near by and large water containers to mr de explained in great detail. How he goes about organizing lesson plan ideas as well as how he organized. What class at which school would be taught when this was extremely helpful to me as i was wondering how to accomplish this huge task. It all seems very clear now and very manageable. Three after talking about the new computers that the schools have..

"This is jen. And you are listening to words of jenn nineteen ninety-seven which is a little project. I'm doing for nepad. Pomo twenty twenty one. In this series of however many episodes it becomes. I read to you pieces from a handwritten journal that i had to write as part of my student teaching experiences. Back in nineteen ninety-seven in addition to that. If things are out of context so far away from today that younger people would not know what i'm talking about. I'll try to make that clear as well. So that's where i'm at. This is day three of nepad. Pomo twenty twenty one and this episode is called planning ahead tuesday august twenty six good ideas one. Have the students make a folder that will hold all of their artwork for the whole year inside to to assign seats. Give each student a number. They pick it from a hat or other container. Each number corresponds to a seat. The first table is eleven twelve thirteen all the way through nineteen. The second table is twenty one through twenty nine etc prevents fighting three. Make friends with the janitors. They own the school. They make it possible to have a clean space to teach in the can sometimes save supplies for you that would otherwise be.

"This is jen and i am participating in not pod. Pomo twenty twenty one. This episode is part of that collection. I'm hoping to complete thirty podcasts. In this month and we'll see how it goes. The nineteen ninety-seven collection is where i read to you. Pieces from a journal that i was required to write as part of my student teaching experience back in nineteen ninety seven. I'm going to pick up where we left off and read you a couple of things instead of just one because some of them are very short. And i don't want to make tiny episodes but short episodes are okay. Just a teeny tiny ones in my opinion for me personally so. I'm going to pick up with the journal here. August nineteen nineteen ninety-seven tuesday. Today i filled out the forms for my teaching certificate at yesterday's meeting. It was clear that it was important. To turn this in asap. I intend to go turn it in at records and registration tomorrow. Still no word from mr de about what time to show up and at which school to explain some of that I've changed the names of everyone and all the schools everyone. I encounter in all the schools just to be kind. And everything took place in nineteen ninety-seven so i assume no one is still there at this point in time and i in fact and not is still anywhere in the state. I was Teaching in trying to get student teaching credentials in and then taught in so. I'm just shortening names to the to a letter and title and churning schools to a letter.

"I'm talking about are somewhere in the midwest as well and in order to get your degree. We were getting like if i we completed student teaching. And you'll hear more about this as pod. Pomo goes on. What you had to do was find a teacher in a school that taught art. That would accept you and then they're your mentor for however many weeks you're with them and then you move on to another school. That isn't the same as the first one. So i did. An elementary school with the teacher that was teaching at three different schools and rotation between them and then high school later on with a different teacher. But that's a story for another time. But what you need to do is get all this done right. The journal provide proof of your work that you've done because you couldn't like i said this was really kind of before smartphones and things like that so we couldn't just take photos or videos and send it you know through some sort of google thing or whatever to our professors. None of that was around yet. We had you know. Yahoo is a search engine more than we had goo goal and it was a long time ago in very different. So that's why all my stuff is written out and you know had handwritten cursive which i don't even know if they teach anymore So there's that and that was me just trying to figure out what to do on the first day and i did get my degree eventually. And it's a bachelor's of science in art education it specifically says education. I think. I don't think it says art education but anyway that's where i was at in nineteen ninety-seven the day before Or a couple of days before. I actually officially started student teaching and it was an exhausting. An interesting experience. And i'll tell you more about that on tomorrow's now pomo. Oh and one more thing before. I stop this recording. The part i was talking about with not understanding what the copyright law was. That's because it was nineteen ninety seven and we just barely were able to get photos on the internet from different places like art museums and stuff like that. Most of it was text. There was not a lot of different colors to us if you wanted to put together a website but some people did do that. This is before my space. I mean this is like pretty old. I think it's before my space Not too sure. But i it was before facebook for sure. It was way before twitter So we didn't have like we have today any details. We had no idea what to do. I had one of my professors in college. As i was working towards my student teaching. Tell us quite literally to pick a topic or well subject in a head to be accepting physical something art and then to literally go online and download and print out not printout. We actually had little like those little floppy disks you know. Download those images to that and then work them into something that looked like a report sort of thing iterating off of whatever it and i think i.

"Are listening to words of jen. This is episode sixty nine. And it's been a very long time since i've recorded words of jenn episode and i'm hoping to get back into that through nepad povo twenty twenty one where you. Ideally post a podcast. Every day in the month of november. Now don't know if i'll make that goal or not. But i'm going to try and have decided to do something just a little bit different than i've done in the past. I found an old handwritten journal from when i was student. Teaching back in nineteen ninety-seven quite a while ago. All of the students that i could possibly have encountered while i was experiencing student teaching. I'm sure are grown and moved on. And maybe their kids go to those schools. I don't know. But i thought it would be an interesting read. We literally had to sit and write a journal by hand. Because in nineteen ninety-seven there weren't a lot of computers at schools yet. So we couldn't just do it that way and we couldn't just email it to our professors who were monitoring us and seeing how we do all this so i'm just going to start reading. I'm going to take out names and change them so that nobody can figure out who i'm talking about specifically just to be kind and it's kind of a lot of drama in it here in there. I learned a lot of stuff. So this episode is called daily log student teaching meeting august. Eighteen nineteen ninety-seven monday. I have decided to start this journal today. In order to get into the habit of writing it every day. I student teach or every day. I do something related to student. Teaching today is an example of the latter. Today all students in any field who will be student teaching were required to attend a meeting all day. This meeting was very helpful in many ways it answered many of my questions. I now understand how to go about filling out the forms required in order to obtain my teaching certificate. I also understand what is expected of me. In terms of behavior appearance and attitude all must be professional at all times. I also understand that filling out the papers for my certificate is very important to do right away. This meeting also brought up some questions for me. One question concerns copyright law..

"Okay you guys one last question and then we'll wrap it up here now that allegedly broadway's going to open it is it is. It is speaking into existence. Claire yes why. Do you think the two of you specifically is your point of view. Here is so special that life theater is maybe more important now than ever and what it means for audiences what it means for the broadway community what it means for the theater community at large even like down to the kids in their middle school musicals at their little high school there little schools. And what do you feel like live. Theater is gonna give us back at the end of this horrible horrible year and a half of disconnection in loss. What comes to mind immediately is that theater is for the most part. A device that mirrors humanity right live theater merit humanity of live humans onstage telling stories being emotionally vulnerable and i think that the story of artists and actors and backstage managers and ushers and the whole community right now is a story of resilience and so. I'm hoping that the mirror that that we are seeing is resilience and that that will encourage people and empower people in coming out of this pandemic to be strong. Love the answer so much the amount of times i have sat in theater and just wept just absolutely wept because the story is so tender to me. And i'm that person and they army and this moment is something i've experienced in it so it is such a mirror. It's just such a mirror and so in a different way than like film. Tv's 'cause it's a life human person with flesh and blood right in front of you and so that's fantastic answer. How about you. Jim clear. I think in starting our business and getting to work with students from all over the world something. Mary kate and i kept saying is musical. Theater feels more meaningful than ever before. Even though it's just like finding live theatre here on this on the zoom screen. But i think on a personal note. I think i'm can. I have been challenged in our craft sort of having to teach in the setting and then also just been so inspired by the work in the artistry of our students. So we're going back different artists. So i think sort of my my hope for like our community. Is you know we had the chance to rest. We had the chance to to be. Creatively inspired either. Maybe by our families or by different pursuits that people have done on the side. I for us. It's definitely been dfw and our students and then yeah just just the resilience of artists. I think is something that's really special. And and hopefully no as as we come back that that people feel that in want to put that into their own lives. I hadn't thought about how we are all going to get our our theater performers back rested and renewed having does run a gauntlet of the theater schedule for so long like literally off. It's like voices are arrested. Bodies arrested work ready to go like if anybody's had an injury that injury like that is. I hadn't even thought of it. That is so true gear going to be like leaping off the stage with just enthusiasm in health. That's wonderful okay. Last two questions. These are kind of like top of your head and we'll start with you. Can you tell us about either. Your favorite or this is hard to pick. Actually let's say say either your very favorite or one of your tip top favorites like broadway icons and how it is that they influenced you to you. Bradley icon and in any in any way on stage performer. It a whatever it behind the scenes in front of the curtain either way. I think that. I really admire right. Now rachel chaff skin. Who is a broadway director. She directed haiti's town just because and she directed natashquan great coach and she just is a visionary and can make these pictures on stage. Just come to life for us and she creates a world for actors. Really play in and i always think it's really fun to see a woman succeed kind of like in a man in a male dominated world so to have her dislike leading the way and i think that she's so cool on so interesting so smart and anytime in the woman is like and she's supposed to be really nice to which is also got it all. Yeah yes that's a great answer okay. Didn't claire why pulled out my book. this was. This was the christian china with book. That i picked up when i was a kid. Let's called a little kid but it's life love and faith and stages. But he always bring it back to casey. But i love to too but i think the way yes. She's really succeeded. In in in cedar but sort of crossover into into television and film and sort of always just lived heart forward and and had success in all arenas of the entertainment industry and just yeah a strong strong small for eleven for ten for eleven woman and then god just meeting her in real life and seeing that everything that i thought about her is actually true. My favorite thing. Yeah hurt her kindness in her talent on the way she's sort of approaches life hartford forward so she's a gym. Just someone who who inspired me from from the beginning. You babe ruth your career like you point you got it last question. You buys an. Is every guest in every series as question. Please feel free answer this however you feel like it can just be like ernest or it can be absurd. We've gotten it all so it doesn't matter. This is a question from a priest. That i love her. Name's barbara brown taylor. So she says what is saving your life. Right now nachos. That's okay i'll accept. I'll allow it turkey. Nachos turkey notch. Because i am trying to fit back into my wedding dress in september and i do not want to diet again like i just don't want to be that skinny like i. Just don't wanna do it. And so i've been having like instead of ground beef like turkey taco nachos. Almost i would still put them on chips. You're like what am i going to swap out the ground beef or the ah with my cheese. My body doesn't process chips. Because i eat them so much. It's like like do you have to be in your wedding dress because we're having a big ceremony with three hundred people on september twelfth two days before we meet in person and everybody wants me to wear my dress again but i kid you not. I was a size zero. Like i was going hard. Not sustainable and honestly i have not sustained it. So worse case scenario you're seamstress does a little strip back.

So i found a snake again the other day and call me okay. I'll call you doctor.

That may be haven't had the pleasure of listening to you before. So jennifer are wilkin. Phd known as doctor. Jan is a harvard trained clinical neuropsychologist writer speaker and mental health advocate. She founded a private practice with an appreciation that our mind body brain and spirit are intimately intertwined and impacted by one another doctor. John is currently pursuing her masters degree in creative writing poetry. Focus her first book. Quick calm easy. Meditations to short-circuit stress. Using mindfulness and neuroscience was recently published and is not our topic for today segment. It is poetry therapy which we're going to get into here in a couple of minutes but you can find. Dr jen at quick comb book dot com quickcam book dot com or on instagram at dr. John psych underscore I love that instagram. Handle by the way well you can have so they hate when that happens but But we're going to have a great show today. I have some interesting stories. I'm going to share you. Know i typically like to be very transparent. Some of the stuff. I'll say is going to shock people today. I will tell you that one of the first Let me ask you this. So dr john before we get into this though are lyric poetry similar or the same. What's the difference between writing poetry and roading writing songs lyrics. you know. i think it's very similar. It's all about like you know what we're doing. And like what crafts were you like. We're in you know. It entails so for example if it is it red mix. Is it Does it evoke the sense. Is i think is very much the same that being said music and poetry are very similar as well. We're definitely going to talk. More about just expressive writing and pros vs poetry. There are some differences there. But i don't know. I i think lyrics writing is very similar i think poetry can elevate lyric writing if that makes sense I'm thing in song and i play guitar again. I do and what i'm trying to say is that i'm not doing a good job. But thanks for being with me is that larry can sometimes be more like prose like telling a story where i think really utilizes more of that artistic expression Whether and there are you know it. It's like you tell the story but more in symbols and in metaphor Well i i. I'm a songwriter. Too i I i am i and it never published any of them. Although they said one of one one person said to me one time that one of the songs that i wrote could be like a like a music track for a martin scorsese film so that was quite a. But you're going to die. Jeff junior stay in your seats. So i'm gonna tell you the name of my first song and then we're going to go to break you. Want you ready okay. The name of the song that i wrote was I can say it okay. I'm just going to say it. The name of the song was. I know what it feels like to be a whore. Oh.

"This is john and you are listening to words of jenn episode number sixty eight. This one is titled letter to my twelve year. Old self pay jen. It's me future gen. Yes that sounds impossible. You're going to have to trust me even though you don't trust anyone right now. I know you really want to quit your ballet class when you were a little kid. It was fun somewhere along the way. It got exhausting and stressful. You got your first pair of toes shoes when you were nine which was way too young and your feet never stopped hurting. Our parents get angry. Every time you outgrow your toes shoes leotards or tights. But they won't let you quit ballet over and over our parents tell us the same old story you were born disabled and the doctors didn't think he would ever walk. It is frustrating that they cannot see that. You walk and dance without difficulty. One of the worst things about ballet is the leotards. Your body is growing curves and it's totally embarrassing. It doesn't help. that dad. Keeps calling you fat or that. Your ballet teacher said you would never have a dancer's body hang in there a little longer. I promise you won't be forced to take ballet forever. There's another problem though. The girls at school have started painting their nails and wearing lip gloss. They check their hair and little mirrors worried about how it looks. Some of them. Have crushes on boys. You think these girls are being dumb. It is as though they are trying to out girl each other. You wear hand me downs from your cousins. A mix of boys clothes and girls close. It is the first time that you think that maybe you're not really a girl. The boys at school whom you grew up with since kindergarten are the same as they always were. No one has said it out loud but you get the feeling that they see you as one of the guys. This feels comfortable but you realize you're not really a boy either. You're going to take a long time to figure out what you are burnell. The word tomboy seems to almost fit. I promise you there will be language for what you are that becomes normalized in the future. It might be hard for you to understand that right now. Just know there are others like you who are also neither girl nor boy. This piece of writing was inspired. By an article posted on auto straddle titled happy birthday to us. Here's what we'd say to our tweens selves. If you enjoyed listening to me read this piece of writing you can find more words of jenn episodes at book of jenn dot.

It's no longer an adventure that instead of was that in combination within listening to the david atom brewers of the world and the wild seeing other wildlife programs or was that coming from within yourself noticing from within your direct facing experience it was it was the latter. Yup david numbers a huge influence on my life from when i was seven or eight years old and his life on earth series and i remember like it was yesterday and he still absolute hero but it was my travelling in seen first hand working with indigenous tribes and native american and first nations people and seeing it from that perspective in different places and local people on the ground and like wow there is there is something here that needs attention and then as decades pass. Hey we are. You know with david atom a life on planet film really putting it into perspective for the whole world to see like now. It's crunch time. So this journey kind of happened for a variety of in a variety of ways for variety of reasons and opportunities of experiencing and seeing things first-hand and of course you know the the lexicon language and vocabulary of this all changing i mean i started in films about ten twelve years ago and back. Then you couldn't proposal film. That had the word conservation to a national geographic or a bbc. Because they'll let you know we re would in there. It's a bit of a downer. Audiences are looking for more adventure and the spark and beauty. That's now changed if they would come sedation. Climate change is not in a wildlife documentary show. It's like conspicuous by its absence. Thank god but that's been a journey to you know so you're right. We're on this little tipping point. I think gen where it's like okay. People are starting to get it but still we need to ratchet up. Yeah so tell me why did you say that you would never have been the best scientists in the world. I don't think i'm really disciplined when it comes to work but a couple of reasons. I don't think i would of how the discipline. I'm really crop maths. So that's huge of never been drawn to maths gene. Not sure your best bet..

Baz if you've got a population of grizzly bears that's doing well. Then you know that that whole ecosystem is doing well quite flourishing. it's intact. It's providing for a healthy population of lodge carnivores the big demands on space on food on all these things that they need. If you've got that intact and in place then that's a very special thing. There's alaska right if even human acceptance comes to how the human wildlife dimension where it which is where. I work most the how wild animals and humans can get along. Then if you come back to the north cascades you know there's a tiny number of bass something's missing that they've they've not had a chance to bounce back and if they did come back it would need augmentation. It would need those best to be added to a small number of them over the next few years to help them come back in numbers but what has to come back. Is this public understanding as well of them. So in that way you know and acceptance right and what sorry except yeah and and i love taking it beyond ex. Yeah there's so many rabbit holes to go down here john. I love this stuff.
