Polls show that Joe Biden is really underwater. I mean, he's really facing, I think it's some of the worst polling for an incumbent president since Jimmy Carter. The Bidens had nothing to sell except the brand, which was Joe Biden. Hunter Biden sold the brand well, making the Biden family millions from China and elsewhere. The leader in the clubhouse remains Donald Trump. I actually called him after the debate and I congratulated him because I said, sir, you won the debate.

SI Boxing with Chris Mannix
Fresh update on "jimmy" discussed on SI Boxing with Chris Mannix
"You know, I think the starting price from Miami is going to be Kyle Lowry and two first round picks. That's a big part is I think the I think the Blazers are going to be able to extract two first round picks for Holliday, which is going to up their haul to three first round picks total in the Lillard deal. I think there's too much competition for Portland not to be able to get a second first round pick in a deal like this, even for a player at Holliday's age and with one year left on his contract, think they're going to be a leverage all the teams that are out there trying to get him and they'll get a second round pick. I think Miami is going to be in that mix. I think the Clippers are going to be in that mix. I think Boston is going to be in that mix. I don't know if Golden State will be in that mix, but the Warriors can certainly get there because they've got the contract in Chris Paul. They've got some blue chip players in Jonathan Kaminga, Moses Moody, among others, and they've got draft capital to deal so they could get into the mix if they so choose. I want to focus here, though, Mark, on which teams need him. Like who needs to push their chips to the table and get Drew Holliday? Because for me, it's two teams at the top of that list. They're both in the Eastern Conference. I think Miami and I think Boston need to go out and be aggressive on Drew Holliday. Miami, for obvious reasons. The Heat have had a catastrophic offseason. It could not have gone worse. They lost their two starting backcourt players in the playoffs in Gabe Vinson and Max Truce. They are a year older. Jimmy Butler's 34, Kyle Lowry's in his mid 30s. They've got a starting lineup right now, which is featuring two players who are minimum-ish or minimum contracts in Josh Richardson and Kevin Love. So they need an infusion. They need help. And if they're going to hope to get past teams like Milwaukee and Boston in the playoffs, even Philadelphia with Tyrese Maxey, you need a defensive stopper. And Drew Holliday is still that player. So I think Miami, even though it's got to be painful for Pat Riley and company to go back to the table and call Portland about another guard, a different guard, a lesser guard than David Lowe, they've got to find a way to do it because the clock is ticking on Jimmy Butler's career. I think that's pretty obvious that Miami has to go all in. I think Boston, though, is right there with him. The Celtics made a lot of moves this offseason to plus up their offense. Getting Kristaps Porzingis was about adding front court depth, which they needed because Al Horford's old Robert Williams off injured. But under Joe Missoula, they have become much more offensive oriented than what they were under Imeo Doka. Not to say they're bad defensively, but they're much more offensive oriented. Joe Missoula would be happy with his team shooting 53 points per game. That's kind of their offensive mindset. So they've got the offensive horses right now. What they don't have is depth defensively. What they don't have is that Marcus Smart like presence right now. They don't have that guy. They can deploy on anybody in somebody's back or draw. They would be that guy. He would be the guy that you would turn and say, now you guard Damian Miller. And if you think your holiday wouldn't be motivated to defend Damian Lillard in the Bucks, you're crazy. It would probably cost the Celtics some combination of Malcolm Brogdon and two first round picks. The two first round picks, again, seems like a steep price. But if you're Boston, what are you holding on to them for? What do you care? Your window is open right now. Your chance to win championships with Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown is right now. Al Horford is thirty six. I believe you'll be thirty seven end of next year. The clock is ticking on his career as well. You've got to go out there and be aggressive in acquiring top tier talent. And if that means giving up a couple of first and Malcolm Brogdon for Drew holiday holiday, clearly a better fit for this team, I think, than Brogdon, who already has, I think, some issues with the franchise after being dangled in trade talks last year. I think the Celtics are right up there with Miami in terms of the need to get into the holiday chase. Yeah, I think you outlined Celtics, Miami perfectly. I would add two other teams I think would both see them. Philadelphia. Now, I know that Keith Pompeo from the Philadelphia Inquirer, he was mentioning that they obviously started exploring that. I've been told the same thing. Now, I think that the complication with this is, you know, who's going to take James Harden? I think that they're going to have to get a third team involved. But I think that just probably the Clippers. I mean, it probably the Clippers, right? Right. And and with that, I think it's more of the lens of not only what Drew holiday can do from his talent standpoint, but just this window of opportunity with the Sixers having, just finding a way to trade Harden before training camp. So that's team number one. Team number two would be what you're saying with the Clippers. I mean, the Clippers, you know, they may get James Harden, but I would argue that they would probably be more enamored with Drew holiday because not only does he have, you know, more of a diverse skill set as far as his game, he's a lot more durable. Now, the question is going to be, the Clippers have a really weird predicament where they have depth. What are the handful of those role players really good enough to facilitate a kind of trade when you're obviously not including Kawhi Leonard and Paul George? You know, guys like Terrence Mann, guys like, you know, Marcus Moore Sr. Can you package that enough together involving a three way deal? Terrence Mann, Mark, to your point, Terrence Mann is the guy that and the Clippers have been willing to deal. I understand they like him a lot. He's a good player, durable player, you know, 10 point per game score, a complete couple of different positions, but you can't hold on to guys like that. Well, Chris, what I'm saying is it's a no brainer. I just don't know if that's enough for, you know, Portland. I think they can trade a first like you like Terrence Mann to me is like the equivalent of a first. That's a young player. They can add to that mix. That's a first round pick. You trade another first, you make the salaries work with guys like Morris and, and, and something else. You know, I think that is a no brainer as well. I mean, Drew Holliday, look, how many years now has have the Clippers been searching for the right point guard? Like how many guys have they cycled through over the last few years? They've been looking for that right fit. Drew Holliday, I think would be an excellent fit opposite Kawhi and Paul George. He brings defensive intensity to that back court, defensive density they haven't had in a while like that. Yeah, that's a round peg, round hole type of fit that, you know, if I'm the Clippers, if I'm Lawrence Frank, I'm on the phone with Joe Cronin, I'm saying Terrence Mann, a first, some salary filler. Will that get it done? Oh, without a doubt. And I mean, it's been clear the recent seasons that Ty Lue and his players, they've been more and more vocal about their want that they need a traditional point guard, which is something that Lawrence Frank would kind of downplay, uh, in, in past trade deadline saying, Hey, you know, it's about modern NBA positionless players wing depth, but clearly they have moved closer toward the idea that they do, do need a traditional point guard to, so to stress Clippers, it's a no brainer. I just didn't know out loud if they had enough to, to become a front runner. Um, one thing I would add though, I know that you mentioned the warriors, they certainly would have the package. I would doubt that they do this only because of a few things. Um, we have a lot of questions about Chris Paul's fit and is he going to start to come off the bench? How's that going to work? And this whole idea that, uh, Steve Kerr saying, Hey, we have six stars, we're going to play this out. But I think that they are bullish that Jonathan comminga is going to have a breakout season. But even with that, even with them being in the wind now mode, I think the thing that could hold them back is just the reality that they have some players that can do what drew holiday already does with an Andrew Wiggins now that he's obviously a lot healthier than he was in the playoffs and to a lesser extent, Klay Thompson. So I think with the warriors, while they certainly will be in the mix inquiring, I would be very surprised if he winds up in a warrior's uniform, I think it'd be worth watching because the words can just do a two first round pick deal that they can make the salaries work with Chris Paul. I'm sure they'd be reluctant to put comminga in a trade like that because comminga is one of the few guys with some size of front on a team that's devoid of it at the moment, but that they're a team definitely worthwhile. I get your argument. I understand that. But there to me, they're a team worth watching. I think holiday makes more sense. The Chris Paul with that team, they're both unexpiring type deals and look holiday may be more inclined to resign there. If he likes the situation, he likes the chance to, to win, he might want to come back and play a role within that team.

We're doing Toy Soldiers. It really brings everything possible to the table. So if you wanna watch it ahead of time, there it is. That podcast is going up Monday night.

We're gonna bring in Ben Thompson from the Techery newsletter, which he's been on this podcast I think four weeks ago. And he's a huge Bucks fan. He's gonna give the Bucks fan side of things. We're gonna do million dollar picks. And then old friend Seth Meyers talking about a whole bunch of stuff. So really good podcast. It's all next. First, our friends from Pro Jam. What's up? All right, I'm taping this on Thursday afternoon. Normally when there's a big MBA trade, I always do the emergency trade reaction right after the podcast. But we just put up a podcast on Tuesday. So I decided to play it a little differently this time. I wanted a little distance, I wanted to listen to stuff, read stuff, and try to form some big picture opinions coming out of this. So I have four smaller ones, then one big one. First one, I thought Portland did an incredible job with this trade. I really liked this trade, especially everyone was trying to bully them in June and July about, oh, you got to take Miami's offer. You just got to. It's where he wants to go. It's the only offer you're going to get. And guess what? They waited. They played it perfectly. They stared Miami down, and they got a much better deal. First of all, they get the Drew Holiday piece that they can flip into a bunch out of their stuff, which we'll talk about in one second. I love the DeAndre Ayton gamble. As you know, on this podcast, I am a big DeAndre Ayton guy. Not in the sense of I'm the biggest fan of his in the world, but I'm a fan of the asset. I just think I love the valued assets, no matter what it is. Whatever market we're talking about, DeAndre Ayton, 18 and 10 for his career, 60 % field goals percentage, 25 years old. He's played in 45 playoff games. He played four rounds in the 2021 finals. Last year, he got his ass kicked by Jokic. Oh, sorry. Like, that never happens. And Phoenix just sold on him, which I can't wait to talk about. But just from a Portland standpoint, they not only get Ayton in whatever they get for holiday, they get the 29 first, they get the two swaps, and they dump Nurkic. Nurkic hasn't had a healthy start to finish all the way through the playoffs here since 2018, which I'm positive was a long time ago. He's basically 12 and 8. He's, you know, a 50 % shooter. I made a list of the top 30 centers. I encourage you to do this at home, because what's more fun than making lists of NBA centers? I can't imagine anything. I made a list of who I thought were the best assets of the center position for talent, contract, everything. He was 29th on my list. The only person I had ahead of him who's technically a starter, unless you start talking about the Detroit or Charlotte guys, was Zubats on the Clippers. I thought he was the 29th best center asset in the league. And Phoenix, you know, just quickly to go to them, they're trying to win this year. They got worse. They turned Ayton's money into Nurkic and Grayson Allen and Nasir Little. Grayson Allen, we already know with him, he can't play in playoff series. We saw him 22. We saw it last year. I heard and read in some places like that, I got two rotation players. Did they? Is Nurkic a playoff rotation player? Is Grayson Allen a playoff rotation player? Because I'm positive he's not. So for the same money that they were spending on Ayton, they got three guys that I don't think are going to help them. In 25, the money comes down a little bit to 23 million just for Nurkic and Little, which is 7 million less than Ayton. And then in 26, that money goes up to 25 .5. But I don't understand what Phoenix was doing. Why not wait to see if Ayton clicks with Vogel? Vogel has such a good history with centers. He rejuvenated Dwight Howard on the 2020 Lakers. He basically created Roy Hibbert's career in 2013 with the defense verticality thing. I thought he was going to do a good job with Ayton. I'm stunned that they gave up on him. I'm almost waiting for one of those, now they tell us stories when, you know, that's where Brian Curtis calls them, where like a week after something happens, there's this kind of notebook dump where it's like, here's seven terrible DeAndre Ayton stories. So maybe that'll happen. But for Phoenix just to be like, cool, we locked this down, man. We got Nurkic. You're trying to win the title. You have KD and Booker and Beal. And like, what are you guys doing? Anyway, from Portland's standpoint, I love the Ayton thing. I love that they didn't get bullied. And I know they're going to turn Drew Holliday into something. So this to me was at least an A minus for them, for where they were two months ago, where Dave's like, I want to go to Miami. That's it. And if you don't trade me there, that's kind of fucked up. And they made this work as it got reported that, uh, I think in the athletic, that he expanded his list to Brooklyn and to Milwaukee in the last two weeks. And that's what Portland was waiting on. You know, they were banking on the fact that he's a competitive dude. He's one of the best 75 pairs ever. He wanted a situation settled. So, you know, you wait, you wait, you wait, they expand the list and then you go. Uh, there's a Drew Holliday piece to this. That's awesome. He becomes a contender prize. I wouldn't call this a Drew Holliday sweepstakes. I reserved sweepstakes for the superstars, but it's a mini sweepstakes. This is somebody that could have a huge impact on the playoff race. You know, not only the usual suspects, everybody's talking about Boston, ironically, Miami is a really good fit for him. And in some ways, um, I'm a little more scared of them with Miami than Dame in some ways, especially at a much cheaper contract with giving up less and keeping some of their assets. Philly, if they could pull it off, they have to be in there in Golden State, Minnesota. I think I have to mention Sacramento, I think is a team that if they could figure out how to get Drew without giving up their core, which is basically Keegan Murray and Sabonis and Fox, like that's, you know, could Davion Mitchell be in that trade with some, with a salary and some picks, who knows. The team that I love for Drew Holliday is OKC. I have OKC, you know, I started doing my MBA research for the over -under spot and I haven't landed on a number for them yet, but to me, they feel like a high forties team with Chet and with the growth of their young guys. And if you just like, let's say they traded Lou Dort and a bunch of their picks, maybe two firsts and two of their lesser picks or three firsts and a second, whatever it is. And they just say, fuck it. And they get Drew and you put him with Giddy and SGA and Jalen fucking awesome Williams and Chet Holmgren and all these other dudes they have, that might be a top three team in the West. I mean, that, that's starting to give me some early 2010s OKC vibes. So where he goes is going to be important. I just feel like there was so much Drew Holliday slander the last couple of days. You know, he's one of my favorite players. Even Haralabob, who was the chairman of the board of the Drew Holliday fan club for years and would have the benefit dinners there and, you know, just did a lot of yeoman's work on that front. And even he was like, yeah, yeah, Dame's better than Drew. That trade makes sense for Milwaukee. I was hurt, Haralabob. I was 100 % hurt by that. But you know, Drew got his ass kicked by Jimmy Butler in the playoffs last year. I get it. It happens. Jimmy was unbelievable. I feel like he would have kicked anybody's ass. By the way, why is Drew Holliday guarding Jimmy Butler? That speaks more to some of the issues with Milwaukee. He was never supposed to be a point guard and a creator. I think he was always better as an off -the -ball guy. We saw that with Rondo and New Orleans and just in general. I want to see him with a point guard. I want to see him just being unleashed, not having the ball a lot, just worrying about hitting threes, being an occasional, you know, make -shit -happen guy and being like the third or fourth best guy on a team without having the offensive responsibility to have. All their half court issues got blamed on him for the last couple of years. And I get it. They weren't like an awesome half -court team, even the other one in the finals, but I really value that dude. I had him, even I did the trade value list in August and I had him 37th and I had Dame 23rd. I think he's one of the best 30 players in the league still. He's 33 years old, which, you know, I'm going to talk in a second about when guards hit their mid -30s, but just in general, I think he's a real asset. If he goes to a team like the Celtics and they can keep Derek White and Tatum and Brown in the center, it's like, look out, man. So little mini sweepstakes, rarely do we get the trade, but then we still get another asset to talk about. Thank you for everyone involved in the trade. And then the fourth small point is just that, you know, not rocket science, Milwaukee bought some Giannis time here. They have one of the best 20 players of all time. They were staring down the barrel of a situation that was not good. I was talking about it on this podcast in late June and early July. I thought he was going to put them on the clock. I thought Mark Lasry selling his stake was a really bad sign for all of this because that dude is smart. As I laid out in June, that guy is really smart. And if he's feeling like, you know what, it's time for me to sell my buck stock, that makes me nervous. And then all the stuff that Giannis said and did, which I thought he did really fairly and really smartly. And I think that dude's about titles and that's it. And I know we say that about players, but I think in his case, I don't think he cares about, you know, what's my legacy, how do I compare against Dirk DeWhisky, any of that stuff. I just think he wants more rings. I mean, think about the guys who have won two rings out of the best 35 guys on my list of my pyramid. Those are all guys in my top 35 that won multiple wings. You go to the one -ring side, Jerry West, Oscar, Moses, Dirk, Jokic, Giannis, Pettit, Garnett, Kawhi, Rick Barry. That's the list he's on now. I certainly don't think he's looking at that list going, I got to get away from these guys, but it's a slightly different list. I think when you win multiple rings in multiple situations, it elevates you in a certain way. I think he fundamentally understands that at least a little bit. I want to be the best player since LeBron James. I think that's a thing that he wants. How am I going to do that? I need more rings. I need more finals trips. He knew from last year and maybe even the Boston series that they just weren't good enough. Whether this trade is going to be the thing that propels them, we'll find out, but he's been in the league 10 years, two MVPs, five first teams, two second teams, and now we have this little two -year window. Kawhi and the Raptors was a one -year window. This is a two -year window, I feel like. With Giannis, he's got two years left in his deals. So does Lopez. Middleton has two in a player option. Dame's got two, and then this crazy $120 million player option extension thingy that he has that just keeps going and going. It's probably two years. There's a world where this could go terribly this season, at least for what the expectations are, and then maybe it becomes Kawhi, Raptors. Maybe Giannis is like, you know what? That didn't work. Trade me. And the Bucks, who have no picks left and no future, they look at it next summer, and they go, all right. We tried it. Giannis, what can we get for you? Dame, what can we get? And they just do a reboot, rehaul. Remember, they won in 2021, which just takes so much pressure out of this. It's so much different than the Clippers situation, where they went all in on Kawhi and Paul George. They give up all those picks and SGA, and they've gotten nothing out of it. They haven't even made the finals. So it's got to happen. I think they at least probably have to make the finals. If they get bounced in round two, do I think Giannis is going to stay because they made this Dame -Mower trade? Probably not. So that leads to the big question, is how good of a trade was this? So there's a big picture angle on Dame, and it's going to sound negative, but I really don't want it to sound negative because I think Dame, I voted for him for NBA Top 75. I think he's been one of the best guards in the last 15 years. I think there's a ton of great things you can say, and there's a chance that he goes to Milwaukee, and this thing is fucking awesome. I know any Celtic fan I've talked to, including Isaiah, who's helping produce this podcast today, the Giannis -Dame pick and roll is just terrifying. Other than Jokic and Murray, it's going to be the single most unstoppable offensive play in the league. It is. We are conceding that point. The spot Dame is in right now, big picture -wise, it's weird. He's a superstar, but he's not, and we've seen guys like this before. I judge superstars by, do you have the resume statistically, and is your team succeeding consistently at a certain level? You can't totally say that about Dame. He's never been on a 55 -win team. He's missed the playoffs completely four times in 11 years. He said three first -round exits. He made the Final Four once in 2019, which was really lucky because Golden State and Houston were the two best teams, and then they got smoked. He's never been on a true contender ever. Instinctively, you go, well, that's not his fault. Who's he played with? Well, he played with LaMarcus Aldridge and CJ McCollum and a couple other guys, but not really anybody. The reason I'm putting this up is there's a success element that he has not had yet that for somebody with his resume is actually kind of unusual. I went and I looked up how many guards in the history of the league averaged 22 points a game for their career and played at least 700 games. I thought the list would be like 20. I didn't know. I didn't know what I was walking into. Only I think 75 guys have averaged 22 a game. So I went and I looked up the list, and it was 10 guys, 700 games, 22 a game for their career. There were some guys who came close like David Thompson, who I think is one of the best guards I've seen in the last 45 years, but had a short career and had some drug issues. He didn't make it. He didn't play enough games. Pete Maravich, 24 .2 points a game, but he didn't play enough games. Kyrie hasn't played enough games yet. Bradley Beale is five games away. I'm actually kind of glad the cutoff's at 700 so we don't have to talk about him. And then Mitchell and Trey Young aren't there yet. There's only 10 guys that made it, and the 10 guys are all fucking awesome. And again, I mentioned this in the context of Dame, who we think he is versus the success he's had. So the 10 guys, Michael Jordan, 30 .1, Jerry West, 27 .1, Allen Averson, 26 .7, George Gervin, 26 .2, Oscar Robertson, 25 .7, Kobe, 25 .0, Harden, 24 .7, Curry, 24 .6, Wade, 22, barely made it, and Russ, 22 .4, and then Dame is at 25 again. All right, what does he not have that those other guys have? Well, MJ, don't need to talk about him. Don't need to talk about Jerry West, who's the freaking logo. Allen Averson, pretty good comparison, right? Big stats, really memorable player, but not a ton of success. Here's the difference. Averson made the finals once. He won an MVP. Dame has done neither of those things. George Gervin was the best scoring guard of the 70s. He made two final fours. He had some bad luck. He really, in 79, really should have came close. And some of it's on him, right? He could have come through. Bobby Dandridge is the one that ended up coming through for the Bullets. They lose. But two final fours, he had four top five MVP finishes, five first teams, four second teams. He was just unassailably the best guard in the league until MJ. Oscar Robertson, don't need to go through him, but he won a ring and an MVP. Kobe, five rings and an MVP. Eleven first teams for Kobe, by the way. James Harden, three final fours, an MVP, six top five MVP finishes, six first team MBAs. And even though Harden has never made the finals as the best guy, he made it with OKC as the sixth man, you could build a contender around Harden. We saw it. We haven't really seen it with Dame. I think that's a fair thing to bring up. Curry, four rings, two MVPs, you know, the Curry thing. Dwayne Wade, three rings, two top five MVPs, two first teams, three second teams. He's more in the Dame waters a little bit, but he had the 2006 finals and he was the second best guy with LeBron on those heat teams. And then Westbrook, who you would say, well, Dame had a better career than Westbrook. Did he? Westbrook made the finals in 2012. He was second best guy on that team. Almost made the finals in 2016. He won an MVP. He had two first teams and five second teams. It's at least like a real argument. And I think when you look at Dame, he only had that one 2019 round three, got bounced. He's only had one top five MVP finish. He's only had one first team MBA and four second team MBAs. Really, really good top 75 career. But the piece that's missing is, have you been on a really good team? Have you made a real run at it? Which is why, you know, I think this Milwaukee trade is so much fun. This is his real chance. I get nervous about a couple things with this trade. One is that, you know, if you look at the 33 and older guards who average 22 points a game in a season. Jordan did it twice. Curry did it twice. Still going. Kobe did it three times. Jerry West twice. Sam Jones once. Hal Greer once. That's the entire list. Now the NBA is different. We have more three -pointers now. It's easier to score. Scoring is the easiest it's ever been. Guys can play at a longer age. So I'm not ruling out Dane being good for the next three years. But just pointing out, history is saying, be a little nervous. In general with guards, like Chris Paul, we saw from age 35 to 36 to 37, like it just dropped. But that's two years older than Dane. Maybe it's fine. I just worry about guards. We have not a lot of instances with guards in their mid -30s of them either peaking as players or being able to sustain whatever success they had during their prime. It always starts to go down with really no exceptions, except for Steph Curry. He's the only non -exception. So if your case is Dane's as good as Steph Curry, or Dane can be as potent as Steph Curry on a winning team, like, you know, Steph Curry is better than Dane, but I'm not going to argue that he couldn't do a lot of the stuff that Curry did in Golden State. The bigger issue for me, the age I'm definitely worried about. Dane has not been healthy the last couple of years, and we have not seen him play nine straight months at playoff basketball with a big bullseye on his back. Everybody coming after you, you're the best team. We haven't seen him do that ever, much less than the last couple of seasons. So can he stay up? Can he stay healthy? That's one thing. The defense with Dane just got kind of swept under the rug the last couple days, and I don't really understand it because there's five categories of defensive player I feel like. There's excellent, there's good, there's average, there's not so good, and then there's bad. And I think Dane's a bad defender. I think the stats back it up. Like, his defensive rating last year was 245 out of the guards. He's the 245th guard for defensive rating. You know, 117 .4 individual defensive rating is 483 overall. Portland's team's always defensively, it was the Achilles heel for them. Partly because of Dane, because he couldn't guard anybody. He's too small. And, you know, think about what we saw from the playoffs the last couple years. I think about the 2020 bubble Celtics playoffs, not infrequently, because I think that team had a chance to potentially win a title. What happened? Everyone hunted Kemba Walker. It was hunting season. It's like, where is he? Got to get a switch. Got to get Kemba Walker guarding somebody who's bigger, or got to beat him off the dribble, and it just became a hunt session with him. And basically, he got played out of the league. He's not in the league anymore. You know, we had this with Isaiah Thomas, too, in the mid -2010s. I think it's been an issue with Kyrie Irving. The Celtics certainly went at him in the playoff series with Brooklyn a couple years ago. Curry, you saw, who I think is a better defender than people give him credit for, but the And he's a much better defender than Dame is. Jordan Poole is somebody that got hunted in playoff series recently. Chris Paul, obviously, is a big one. Jalen Brunson, remember what the Heat did to him? Mitchell, when he was on Utah, this was a huge issue. And then Trae Young, obviously. My fear with Dame is he's a DH, and I think in Portland, part of the reasons he was able to put up the stats he did was because he wasn't playing defense, right? It was just, how many points can I score? My team isn't very good, and I'm just going to do my thing. He's an incredible offensive player. But how much of a trade -off is the defense, right? Well, you think, all right, well, Milwaukee, they're really good defensively. They'll be able to protect him. Here's the team. Giannis, Dame, Lopez, Portis, Middleton, Conaton, Beauchamp, Crowder. Who's guarding Trae Young on this team? Who's guarding Jason Tatum? Here's a partial list of guys that I don't think this team will be able to guard this season. Devin Booker, Tatum, Butler, Trae Young, Kyrie, Curry. Who's going to be chasing Curry around the screens? Dame lowered? Good luck. SGA, Luca, Mitchell, Murray, Edwards, Brunson, Ja, Garland, Fox, Halburn. Are they going to be able to cover Derek White? I don't know. The way this team is constructed, they are not going to have the ability to guard other guards at all, which means they're just going to have to be in a shooting match with them, right? It's going to be not much different than what's going to happen with Phoenix, where they're just literally going to have to outscore the other team. I've just watched too much playoff basketball over the last couple years, where it's like, if you have that weak link on defense, and you're playing a team that's smart enough, they're going to go after that weak link. Like, think about them against the Lakers, right? The Lakers figure their crunch time. Let's say they make the finals. It's Milwaukee and the Lakers, and Lakers crunch time. They're going to have LeBron and Davis and Austin Reeves and, I don't know, a shooter and a point guard, whatever. All they're going to be doing is trying to find where Dame is on the court and going after him. What about when they play Boston? Boston puts out White and Brogdon and Tatum and Brown and a center, and all they're going to be doing is trying to make sure Dame is covering somebody who has the ball who's now torturing him. I think it's a real problem for them. And what's funny is they gave up Drew's defense and, you know, they, what they gave up on defense, which is significant, and they gained an offense, it might end up just being a wash and they might just be a different version of the same team where they still have a huge flaw. It's just on the other end of the court. I'm just shocked that nobody brought up the defense. I agree he's an amazing offensive player and what's cool about this trade and what I'm excited about as a basketball fan is, can he go up a level? Right? A lot of these stats he put up, especially the last couple years. They didn't mean anything. They were, he was on bad teams. Like, who cares? Ultimately, Bradley Beal scored 30 points a game on the Wizards. Who cares? I think most really good offensive players, if they're on a bad team, can get between 25 and 30 a night. Can you do it nine months in a row? Can you do it when you're getting hunted on defense all over the place? How much can Milwaukee protect him? And what does he have in the tank at age 33 with 900 plus games on the O 'Dominor already? I'm still afraid of the Bucks, but people have, like, FanDuel had them as best odds in basketball and I think most people feel like they're the favorite now. I don't feel like there's a favorite. I think you can go through every team. Boston, I could, I'm scared of Porzingis. What's going to happen with Jalen Brown out there? He has contracts. Can Peyton Pritchard, all these different things. Philly, God only knows. Miami, they're unquestionably worse. Yeah, Milwaukee is going to be really good, but depending where Holiday lands and how this all plays out, I just think it's still wide open. And the other piece, so if you're just talking Boston, Miami, Tatum kills Milwaukee. I have no idea why. Boston is kind of built to at least stay with Dame and, you know, Derek White is about as good of a person you're going to have to try to keep Dame in check, at least. And Boston's done a really good job of guarding Giannis over the years. They don't have Grant Williams this year, but I just don't think, I think there's as many ways this goes wrong as it goes right, I guess would be my final thought on this because for what they gave up, especially with that 29 unprotected and the two swaps and, you know, they are all in on this team. And you know my theory, when you go all in on a team, you better think you can win. Not positive, but it's an awesome trade. It really is. It makes the league so much more fun. Dame and Giannis together. I'm going to enjoy watching Portland. I still have my eating stock. Watching Phoenix fans slowly realize that Derkiszna isn't the answer is going to be fun and then we'll see where Drew Holliday goes. So really fun trade. We're going to talk about it a little bit more with Die Hard Bucks fan, Ben Thompson in one second. Let's take a break.

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

Fresh update on "jimmy" discussed on Thom Hartmann Program
"This product is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, prevent any disease. Text fees may apply. And welcome back. Picking up your calls here. Larry in Los Angeles. Hey Larry, what's on your mind today? I want to talk about the reason why Republicans do want to come on your program anymore. Anymore, yeah. They used to, but they haven't for basically about the last six years, basically since the Trump presidency, Republicans stopped coming on the show. And I used to be able to call right wing talk radio until they basically banned me for life. Yep. Probably the same dynamic, you know, everybody's going to the corners. It is the same thing. It's about the ability to If you don't have to talk to your opponent because if your opponent can, can't refute your lies, cutting the same lies year after year, decade after decade. Yeah, it's an excellent point, although I would like to think that even though I don't have, generally speaking, conservatives on the program, I'm not lying. And we do as a matter of policy and our call screeners know this. Mark is our new call screener and Jeremy who fills in that when conservatives call, they go up, they go first where they put a bunch of stars next to their name and say, this is a conservative caller because I do want alternative those voices, even if they're trying to slap me down to be heard. The conservative and radio TV programs used to say the same thing, that they put the disagreeing callers on first. And I used to get on first until I started kicking their tails. And I'm not shy about taking my boots and shoving it where it doesn't belong. It didn't feel good to them. And so they basically banned me for life on air, told me I could not call their program anymore. Wow. and regarding the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve is absolutely partisan. What evidence do you have for that, Larry? Bill Clinton saw the Fed take the Fed rate for George W. Bush down to 3 % was because he trying to help George W. Bush get a second term. Clinton did. Bill Clinton had 3 % Fed rate for one year and he never saw it again. It Right. was always it was always somewhere between six and a half and roughly four. I think at one point he knocked it down to four point seven five and it never got lower. Well, he did the same thing to Jimmy Carter. Yeah. So what happened to George W. Bush? George W. Bush gets in there and in his first year it drops down to 1 It stayed there until Bush saw inflation trying to spike up to heaven and then they raised it up to five point two five percent. And then but his economy class took it down to zero and I was complaining about this throughout this entire time and calling talk radio the getting on Internet. It's almost as if the Fed was listening and I did almost get a chance to talk to one Fed chairman. He was on a right wing talk radio program. I bet you're not going to get on your program ever. But because he's not going to talk to you. So I had almost a chance to talk to him and but he did. The talk show host wouldn't let me do it. And then when Obama became president, it was as if they were answering my my comments about how the Fed never takes the Fed rate down to a certain level for Democrats. So they put it all the way down to zero for and left it there for Obama for eight years almost. Now, the last Republican president to have that low through your session. That was Eisenhower. So no president wants that low level unless they're in recession. No, no president wants that when the is economy not in recession. But they gave it to Obama because Eisenhower had the weakest economy ever. He lost, he only saw, I think it was four million jobs created and he had three recessions. That's really a horrible record. And so when you get up to down from once again, he gets the bed rate knocked down to zero. No, you're not going to get that for a president democratic unless the bed is trying to slow the economy down because when the bed the rate rate is down to zero. Banks don't lend money out. And that's what Obama had when he was a Democrat. Because he can't make money on it? Pardon? Is it that they don't lend out because they make can't money on the lending because the federal rate is so low? Yeah, you make a 30 year - But isn't it always just cost plus? I mean, don't banks basically always charge interest rates that are, you know, the Fed rate plus something plus one point two? Let's say that you're getting a five percent interest loan for 30 years and then the Fed takes the bed rate up to nine percent and it stays there for five of those years and in fact it stays above the five percent for the next 20 years the bank is losing money every single year on that loan. They don't want to make those loans when the - They're not losing money on it because they already borrowed that money at that rate. They're just making the money they could be making. Well if you if you make an investment it's the same reason why Silicon Valley Bank went belly up. Once you have a loan that's or some money that's invested in something that's only making three percent who's gonna ever take that off your hands? Right. So now you're stuck with that for 30 years while everybody else is out there fifteen getting twenty percent you're stuck at three percent. Yeah I know I understand but that's sad When they first initiated that loan they borrowed at zero percent from the Fed, right? Yeah but it's a loser for the bank because now that now every bank that didn't make those 30 year
Dennis Prager Podcasts
A highlight from Meaner
"Hi everybody, welcome to The Dennis Prager Show. There are a couple of articles, interestingly, at the same time on a question that is worth discussing. And that is, David Brooks of the New York Times had a long piece in the Atlantic and there was another one before that and also in the Atlantic as it happens. Which is on the left but the subject is, the thesis may be on the left but the subject is not left or right. And the subject is, are Americans becoming meaner? Have you thought about that? Does that strike you as a phenomenon that's taking place? For example, the number of people kicked off airplanes for rowdy behavior, for screaming, shouting, cursing, is much more than it was in the recent past. Yeah, I think people are becoming meaner. You think people are becoming meaner? I think there are lots of reasons for that. Yeah, well that's the issue. So there are two issues. Are people becoming meaner? And if so, what would the reasons be? And sense I it too. The ease with which I see people on the road flipping off other drivers, for example, especially younger people, though I think the phenomenon is more widespread. You know, I've traveled, as many of you know, I've been to 130 countries. I've traveled abroad every year of my life since I was 18, except for 20, was it 20, 21? 20. Or 20, 20? 20, 20. 20, 20. I even went, yeah, I even went to East Europe in 2021. It was not easy to travel on. So I had developed a certain sense, and it may be completely erroneous, I don't claim that it's infallible, but I did develop a certain sense of the world's friendliest people. And I've always included Americans on that list, and very many Americans remain, of course, quite friendly. But there's a sense of tension out there, and it's hard to put one's finger on it. I'll tell you one thing that may be related and may not be, because there was yet another article that I was reading, and that is with regard to service by the airplane or airline industry, that they're shifting as much as possible to artificial intelligence chats, which I find, personally, I find useless. Some airlines have abandoned human interaction completely, which is, by the way, another subject that I will cover. I doubt many listeners know this, but the only example I remember in my life of being for government intervention as opposed to non -intervention with regard to business was the airline industry. It was done, I believe, under Ronald Reagan, and I did not believe… Oh, it was Jimmy Carter, yeah? Well, at least it shows that I wasn't partisan in my outlook. But of course, the conservatives supported it, and I totally understand why. You don't want to regulate industry. But I remember thinking, if the airlines start competing solely on price, then I don't know how the excellence of the airlines will not be diminished. Do you ever see, for example, do you see… I don't watch TV, so are there airline ads on TV? Are you aware? You know, Fly American, Fly Delta? You don't watch TV either. Zach, you live in front of the television. Right, so are there airline ads, Fly Delta, Fly American? Yes. There are? That's fascinating. I wonder why, because in so many cases you have no choice. I mean, those of you listening in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Twin Cities, if you don't fly Delta, essentially you drive to a city that you can have some options for. seats So the got crampier. They no longer serve meals. It's very, very hard to get somebody on first try if you call in to the airline, and that's because everything is devoted to the bottom line. Now, I don't lose perspective. I know how lucky I am that I fly first class, and my height I have essentially no choice. But I was on that… when was it on? Which airline? Oh, JetBlue, yes. I flew JetBlue from Fort Lauderdale to L .A. Saturday night. And room the in the first row, which has always had a lot of rooms, the bulkhead in first class, it was a little more than the somewhat roomier seats in coach. And the flight attendant was very open. She said, oh yeah, they reconfigured the plane, so there's just less room in the seats. This was first class. Because you make more money if you sell more seats. It's obvious. So, back to the issue of the meanness, and the many articles about it. The question is why, if it is happening, and if it is, that's a very, very bad sign in America. How America got mean is the article. And it begins here, in a culture devoid of moral education, generations are growing up in a morally inarticulate, self -referential world. his So, theory is they're not taught to be an ethical human being. Well, ethical is not the same as nice. You could be not nice and ethical. So, he calls it morally or inarticulate, self -referential world. Over the past eight years or so, I've been obsessed with two questions. The first is why have Americans become so sad? The rising rates of depression have been well publicized as have the rising deaths of despair from drugs, alcohol, and suicide, but other statistics are similarly troubling. The percentage of people who say they don't have close friends has increased fourfold since 1990. The share of Americans ages 25 to 54 who weren't married or living with a romantic partner went up to 38 % in 2019 from 29 % in 1990, a record high 25 % of 40 -year -old Americans have never been married. So, one out of four Americans 40 years old have never been married. I've reported on that. These are data that I have given you over the course of the past year. The percentage of high school students who report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness shot up from 26 % in 2009 to 44 % in 2021. Do you remember in high school having persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness? No. I was talking to the usual teen. No, the usual teenage angst, of course, but this is persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Yeah, I don't think we were atypical in that way. My second question is why have Americans become so mean? I was recently talking to a restaurant owner. That's exactly whom to talk to, restaurant owners. He's right, back in a moment. Natural disasters, airline cancellations and runway near misses, supply chain issues, inflation, rising interest rates and sky high government debt. This is Dennis Prager for AmFed Coin and Bullion.

Fresh update on "jimmy" discussed on Thom Hartmann Program
"Hey Ed, you're on the air, what's up? Alrighty, well I got a comment and a little story for you. First off with a comment, I will definitely vote for whoever is on the nominee for the Democratic ticket. However, I think it would be more of a democracy if we had more than one name left from and I would like to see Senator Whitehouse throw his hat in the ring. He's not going to do it. I think he should be our Attorney General frankly, but he's not going to do Yeah, it. like I said, it would be more of a democracy if we had more than one choice to choose from. Well, at least on the Democratic side, but typically and historically when a president is in office, that person is the head of their political party and if they choose to run for reelection for that position, very rarely are they challenged. I mean, the only serious challenge to a Democratic president in my lifetime was Jimmy Carter when Ted Kennedy tried to challenge him. And there's a lot of people who to this day blame Ted Kennedy for Jimmy Carter losing to Reagan. I think it's because Reagan cut a deal with the Ayatollah to hold the hostages, which really screwed Carter, but you know, the bottom line is that nobody wants to risk putting Donald Trump in the White House right now. And that's why you're not going to see anybody launching any kind of a serious bid, a serious primary bid against Joe Biden. You can look at it like Biden is sharpening his knives by doing combat with Yeah, but that's not how it works. Primaries, primaries always bruise people. That's why Donald Trump yesterday called for an end to the Republican primaries, or at least to the debates, because they were bruising him. You know, candidates don't like that. And if you really want your candidate to win, want you don't them beat up. I get your point, Ed, but it ain't gonna happen. Katie in Chattanooga, what's on your mind today? Can you hear me? Just fine. Okay, I just wanted to let people know it's time for Medicare renewal. It will be next week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so I have found that that when you choose your Medigap plan, that there's several of them that you can choose from. And that different insurance companies offer different payment amounts, premium amounts, depending on the insurance company. Yeah. But I choose, I have chose plan G, which has been good. And so - I think it's the plan I have. That's the one with basically no deductibles, covers everything. The deductible only you have to pay is the Part B Medicare deductible, which is $236 a year. After you've paid that, or I think it was $226 this year, after you've paid that, your Medigap and your Medicare will pay for all your expenses. That's the same plan I have. Okay. Yeah. So, anyway, to me, I like that. But the United Health charges way more than some of the others. There's going to be more than that. That's correct. The plans with the letters associated with them are actually defined by the government, not by the insurance industry. Right. So they're going to pay the same amount no matter what you pay for your premium. Right. So every state has a state health insurance program. It's called SHIP. And so every state has a different one. They got 800 numbers that you can call. So I called the SHIP in my state told the and representative, I first of all, they're going to try to talk you into talking to a representative from an insurance company. You don't want to do that. And you don't want to get talked in the Medicare Advantage. Of course, nobody, we don't want that. So what I told her, I said, please email me the name and premium amounts of every insurance company in the state of Tennessee that offers plan G Med Cap. And she did. And so when you tell them your age, because it goes by, you know, tells us less than males surprisingly. And then of course it goes up with your age. As you get older, you pay a higher premium. So she did. She emailed it to me and she also emailed it to me for a male friend of mine. And that way you can look and it has a whole list of all the different insurance companies that offer plan G in the state of Tennessee and how much that's premium. So I chose the cheapest plan that happened to be Farm Gear, who I already had insurance with anyway, but that was the cheapest plan. But I'm saving about, you know, $25, $30 a month over Blue Cross Blue Shield or United Hill. That's great. That's great. When I turned 65, I guess it was, this would have been seven years ago, my brother -in -law is a few months older than me. And so he confronted the need for this before I did it. He really did his homework. He did sort of what you did, Katie. He went on the websites of, you know, eight or ten or maybe twelve of the big insurance companies and just looked at what the plans were and what they cost and settled on one. And I just took his advice and picked up the same plan and we've been very happy with it. Shortcut. Yeah. You don't have to, cause I did started out with first and I thought, no, why don't these people should know and they should be able to tell us. But of course, first the first thing you need to do is go to find out which plan you want, you know, cause you don't want to go through all of all, the plan G, which covers everything is, is can be as much as a hundred bucks a month, more than the than the plans that have higher deductibles. That's true, but you can find out which one offers it cheapest if you'll check with your ship person in your state. Is that S H I P stands for the state health insurance insurance program program. Okay. All right, cool. Katie, thank you. Thank you much very for that. David in Ketchum, Idaho. Hey David, what's on your mind today? Hi, uh, this is my anything goes Friday, uh, just off the wall here. How about Bernie Sanders resigns his Senate seat and postmaster becomes general of the United States. Well, first of all, you'd have to change the makeup of the postal board of governors so that they can oust Louis DeJoy. He's hanging on like tick a on a dog. Um, and secondly, Bernie would be given up a hell of a lot of power to want him to do that. Well, he could have, he could be with the largest union in the country. He could be on the other side of the bank. He could what? He could, he could start a bank with - Oh, the postal bank flogging idea. that thing Bernie's for been years back, you know, almost 20 years ago when he was first on this program. He was talking about a postal bank. Um, at that time, Germany's post office had one. I used to use it. I think they gave it up. But yeah, I get that. I don't think, though, that he has to the be Postmaster General to do that. I think he can do that as the United States Senator. He can do that by changing the laws that regulate the Postal Service. on the other side of the bank. David, thank you very much. Al in Chicago. Hey Al, what's on your mind today? Hi, Tom. Good morning. I just wanted to bring up a point that you like that we have to be calling our representatives and telling them that we don't want to shut down and want to unconditionally pass a resolution. Right. On the other hand, this resolution that has been put forward by, I think it's Byron Donald. Hang on just a second. I had it up just a minute ago. No, that's not it. Yeah. Byron Donald's the Republican from Florida. He's a member of the House Freedom Caucus and he's the author of the continuing resolution that they're going to vote on this afternoon.

It's not.
Stuff You Should Know
Fresh update on "jimmy" discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"You're covering all bases on this episode. Well, your little blip is going to, obviously, represent your plane, and it's going to have your flight number, your altitude, your airspeed, and your destination. And so where are we now? It's also how they find you if you go plummeting into the ocean or the earth. Sure. Is that the black box? I think that's probably a part of the transponder. Yeah. So the departure controllers at Tracon may be handling a few different airports, many, many planes, and they also are the ones maintaining good, safe distances. It's very important. That's pretty much because of the increase in congestion and air traffic over the last, like, 40 years. Yeah. That's, like, job one of any air traffic controller, is you have so many planes that, basically, you want to keep them evenly spaced following these prescribed corridors. And if you can do that, then you can do this safely. That's right. So what do we have? Are we en route yet? Are we... Yeah. Once you leave the Tracon airspace, which is the 50 miles, then they pass you off to the center controller, which is the ARTCC. Yeah. So we're expanding out again. Expanding out, and it's important to note, every time you get passed along, they're going to pass along an updated progress slip that says, yeah, we thought they were going to be actually about 50 miles further west. Yeah. But because of bad weather or whatever, we altered their flight path, and so here's what you need to know. Right. Or they hit some headwind, so they're a little further back. There's Holland Butt through the air, which are my favorite flights. And so these guys in the radar associate controller and the radar controller at the air route traffic control centers, the rural ones, the regional ones, they are the ones who say, well, they're just tracking your plane throughout its flight. Right. But then they're also directing it to say, like, there is some weather up ahead. There's some turbulence. Right. We advise you to increase your altitude. And then as they pass through air traffic, air route traffic control center after air route traffic control center, your plane is just going to be passed off from one controller to another. Here you go, Bobby. Right. Thanks, Jimmy. I wonder what they say. I think that's what they say. I don't think that's what they say. No. It's probably a little more technical than that. And then there's also a radar handoff controller, and they assist the two other controllers when there's a lot of heavy traffic. They'll come in and say, hey, let me let me lighten the load here a little bit. Which is significant. So you've got three controllers all working together. Two of them are assisting the radar controller. You have the radar associate controller who alerts the radar controller that they have new stuff. And then the radar handoff controller is basically just looking over both of their shoulders like, don't forget that one. That's a big one. Yeah. I like that one. That's red. Look out. That one's going right towards that one. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Let's hope that doesn't happen very often. Remember that was in Pushington, though. Very tense. Well, because they were all a flitter over Angelina Jolie. Oh, is that what caused that? Yeah, they weren't paying attention to their jobs. Gotcha. Because they were concentrating on that leg. It's like Bull Durham. Emily was just watching that today in her sickbed. It's very weird. Good movie. All right. So this is all going on until you're about 150 miles out from your destination. And then the center controller will jump on board and do what you were talking about earlier and get everyone coming in in a nice, tidy little line for landing. Like from 10 miles out. Like when you were 10 miles away from the airport. No, this is 150 miles out. Oh, okay. They start to get them in line. So then you haven't hit Tracon airspace yet, have you? No. That's the next stop is you go back into someone else's Tracon. Following these prescribed quarters. And these things are not just like easy, straight lines. Like they're really, you know how like when you fly up, you're like, wait, we're going the wrong way. And then your pilot banks hard and then you go back. That's a corridor. And you're going, whoa. Yeah, they curve like that. Corridors, too. It's really neat. And we should mention, too. If there's something wrong and it's too congested or your runway is not working, like the lights are off, like an airplane, they will put you in the in the dreaded holding pattern, which is not, hey, just fly around up there for a while. It's specific to each airport. You know what the holding pattern is and you stay there. And I think it's like a big circle or does it vary pretty much.
Discussions of Truth
A highlight from OUTCAST by Gloria Giorno
"Seek and Destroy that has been the theme of discussions of truth now for well I'm in my seventh season here and we started the show on Wynwood radio in Miami 2016 is when I agreed to do the show with them aired the first episode January of 2017 this is Ian Trottier here and today we are going to start talking if you are not familiar with the name Charlotte Iserbit she passed away about a year and a half ago she's a former advisor to the Department of Education under Ronald Reagan her story is very interesting and captivating because she talks about having received a list of these Skull and Bones members via mail that was sent to her father who was a Skull and Bones member at Yale and Anthony Sutton was hot on that trail so two names that you should familiarize yourself with and that is Charlotte Charlotte's work and that is the deliberate dumbing down of America she talks about the invasion of the American education system and that having been formalized under Jimmy Carter back in 1979 Department of Education so she talks about that through her book and then also what I was talking about was Anthony Sutton calling her being hot basically on the trail of dissecting the corruption that is it's really manipulation because Ella Hugh Yale was a major stockholder a main president of the British East Indies trading company that is a Rothschild controlled trading company and the Rothschild funded the American Revolution so I may be off here ladies and gentlemen but if you look at the flag that was flown above the John Paul Jones excuse me the USS Alfred commandeered by John Paul Jones on the Delaware that basically started the American Revolution that flag is basically identical to the British East Indies company flag and then that you trace that and you go back to Cambridge Massachusetts and something called the flag committee which is Continental Congress approved Washington Franklin adopted what became the first flag of the United what became known as the United States and that was the US Grand Union flag which as being designed by Betsy Ross that is the US Grand Union flag which is identical to the British East Indies company flag because that is where the financing came to fund Washington's army and then you ask well wait a second that's English and well yeah this it is English but it's not English because London the city of London is not technically part of England it is its own banking it's sovereign nation a Roman banking colony still in existence these are all facts and you can cross -check them but anyway so seek and destroy corruption that is how I that is that is how I theme my discussions my conversations my talks it's what I do in Trottier with discussions truth today we're gonna talk about the Department of Education rather the state of the education system in the United States so quickly before we bring the guests on we'll be we'll be talking to Gloria Giorno and her son Stevie and getting their view as conservatives what it's been like for Stevie to go through I think it's Belmont University as a conservative so without further ado thanks for tuning in for the podcast on and we're bringing on Gloria and Stevie right now calling Laurie and Stevie this is Ian Trottier for Discussions of Truth Gloria hi nice to meet meet you and welcome to Discussions of Truth I've looked at some of the work that you're you've excellent hi Stevie so thanks for for joining the the the show and please give listeners an introduction to who you are Gloria you can start tell listeners who you are what you what you do and then and then Stevie you can do the same please I try to destroy a young conservative and I also did a nonprofit the name of it is United Women Foundation what we do is mentor employ aid and young conservative women who are in Stevie's situation and we also give out scholarships to conservatives who are not in need of a scholarship but who are conservatives and who are promoting the conservative agenda in their lives thank you Gloria and that's United Women Foundation calm I'll go ahead and put a link to that in the episode Stevie go ahead and introduce yourself for us please well thank you very much for having us on my name is Stevie Giorno and I serve as the chairman of the Tennessee Young Republicans and I am the former student body president at Belmont University where I was attacked by the radical left for being proud of my country and being proud to be an American on the 4th of July in 2020 during the as a mother for protecting your your family and your country I've looked at the website I've looked a little bit about both of you and what's interesting is you have been you've come my way and your stories come my way through a contact there in Florida and your Stevie your story is daughter went through something very similar and in her university classes but Stevie go ahead and tell us a little bit about about what you experienced you were the student body president at Belmont University yet you were attacked for your political views isn't that right picture of myself in front of the White House and I captioned it that I was proud to be an American and I thanked those who had sacrificed and served so that we may have the freedoms and liberties that our forefathers intended for us and within 24 hours my fraternity was blackmailing me threatening to label me a racist and remove me from the fraternity there were hundreds of comments on my Instagram post and there were hundreds of signatures on a change .org petition that sought to remove me as the duly elected student body president even though I was elected unanimously with almost 99 98 % of the vote and so it was really bad that students friends of mine my fraternity brothers wanted to attack me because I was proud to be from this country you know my grandparents escaped from communism in Yugoslavia and my mother lived there for a year so I've heard the first -hand horrors of what happens in a communist country and I fear that our country is headed that way every single day. Now what's interesting is one of the articles that I that I went through briefly was is written by Campus Reform it's published on an online newsletter called Campus Reform and one of the stories that they have today actually talks about glorifying Che you Guevara know this is a this is a socialist figure that that helped with the with the cubist Cuban communist revolution and Fidel Castro you're you're talking about your family having come from communist Yugoslavia are you seeing are you seeing Stevie in in in in your experience on on campus now I don't know what you're doing now maybe you graduated you can bring us up to date with where you at right now but are you seeing some of these same the same signs that that perhaps your mother or your grandparents were talking about that were that were red flags for for communism growing within the country are you seeing that experiencing that I do and I think unfortunately it is getting worse specifically at Belmont University they refused the school is refusing to allow a turning point USA chapter on campus I think it it's it's it's awful it's an infringement on our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of belief to protest to assemble and so it's really unfortunate what's going on with with colleges and universities I graduated in the spring of 2021 but I have heard of the horror stories happening at private Christian schools so -called Christian schools happening across the country and until students and parents and grandparents begin to see what is happening you know the first step to solving a problem is acknowledging it exists and it's there and it's not going to get better until enough conservative students and parents realize that they need to stop funding the indoctrination machines of universities and change course well it's very brave of you to say that glory I want want to get your your view and and and I want to first first say this I opened this show up before I brought you on with talking about somebody named Charlotte Iserbyt and I'm happy to send you her link to her book it's called the deliberate dumbing down of America what she did was she started dissecting what was happening under the Reagan administration with the attack on the indoctrination that we're seeing fruits of today a few decades later but Gloria did you did you ever expect or suspect that something like this might happen to your son I I he gets into college were there any anything anything happening up to that time where he's now the student body president of Belmont University anything before that that you were that you questioned well you know hey they he might he might need to defend himself or was this a complete surprise to you it was a complete surprise there was absolutely nothing the handbook the literature the online documentation about Belmont University everything fit a conservative Christian agenda there was nothing I mean personally I think it's a bait and switch but there was absolutely nothing I was friends with some of the professors who are conservatives at Belmont or who were conservatives at Belmont and we had spoken for two years before Stevie made the decision to go there and no there was not any kind of indication that anything like this would happen now we would never allowed our son to want to go to a school where he would have been threatened for his beliefs I mean he had been working for Republican candidates since he was 17 years old so it was out in the open it's on his LinkedIn it's public so no I mean we we were told on every tour we were told at every meeting that this was a fully free campus there would be no harassment it was Christian it was conservative and I read the handbook and Stevie followed all the guidelines when these things did start to occur he did follow all the guidelines he followed all the rules he turned everything into administration and they did nothing absolutely nothing and Stevie yeah go ahead to this day they have not responded in any way shape or form nothing and this has been three years now so you have not gotten a formal response from the school administration Stevie you're simply in DC taking a photograph outside the White House expressing your gratitude for the country and the values that it stands for did you ever suspect this type of backlash coming from the because he knew that if he spoke out against them that they would send him to a camp where he'd never be heard from again and really that whole year of 2020 was either you agree with everything we're saying you endorse the BLM organization but we're gonna do everything we can to destroy you and in fact because Tennessee is a single -party consent state that means you can record conversations with only one person knowing I did record those conversations with my fraternity which my mom put into her book and in those conversations my fellow friends my fraternity brothers say if you do not apologize for your post if you do not endorse this group we're gonna do whatever it takes to destroy you and your career and your reputation so it's a more mild form of what happens in communist countries but because these students were not held accountable it is only going to get worse and worse and it did I mean there was one instance where a female student who worked at a fast -food restaurant I would go to for my breakfast in the mornings she admitted in the official College Democrat group text that she was putting quote gross stuff in my drinks every single day because I was a an awful conservative who loved this country and one endorsed the BLM organization and the school guess what the school did when I turned her in what did they do they accepted her into Belmont law school you gotta be kidding me I'm serious 100 % she was rewarded for attacking a political opponent and I think that's dangerous as we see what's going on with President Trump he is being attacked because he's leading in the polls and it's truly unfortunate that we're becoming a banana republic yeah did the did she make you sick with whatever she put in the drinks and we couldn't even get the Nashville police who are unfortunately very short staff due to the liberal City Council and the liberal mayor at the time unfortunately they were they were unable to investigate it because I was perfectly fine thankfully but they said since there was no lasting issues that they refused to investigate and then the school accepted this girl into law school with full knowledge of everything she had done struck so it it shows the systemic problem we're having and imagine if this is happening in a conservative Christian private university in Nashville Tennessee one of the most conservative states imagine what's going on in all 49 other states we don't have the ability to record conversations and to take screenshots of texts and emails and and have such transparency I mean it's terrifying to think what's happening in these other colleges yeah very well said Stevie tell us about that book and tell us about how tell us about how it's been received my husband and I we want to speak out on this we want people to know I need parents and grandparents to know what their children and yes very teen but there still are children what they face and what they are up against when they go away to school we need for parents to fight back we need for parents to take a stand if 40 % of students stopped attending their respective universities you know that the agenda at universities with administration would change so we as conservatives we have that title of being silent majority because usually we are silent well Stevie and I wanted to change that hence the book I use I feel that the book is an educational tool for parents learn from what happened to my son learn from the experience that we've had we went to this university many times it's not far from our home we investigated it we knew people who worked there who taught there and never once did we feel that it was going to be a threat to our son and look what happened so whatever you're seeing I dread to think what's going on at public schools I just dread but I want parents to learn learn read the book you'll see everything is documented in there as my son said fortunately we're able to record and we're able to use everything for information but we need for parents to be more active in their students and their children's educations even when they are at college because they are all indoctrination facilities I did live in a communist country I went to first grade in Zagreb which was then Yugoslavia in 1972 and I can tell you that on my way to school my walk to school every morning I had 1 ,000 US dollars in my backpack I knew if civil unrest broke out at the age of six I knew how to get out of Yugoslavia get into a cab that was waiting for me at the end of the hill and that cab driver would take me to the border of Yugoslavia in Italy where one of my aunts would meet me and my parents would come when they were able I also knew the police officer on the corner he wasn't there for me he wasn't there to make sure that I'd be safe or anybody else he was definitely there to protect the communist regime and Josip Tito who was the dictator at the time and the parallels that I saw with what I experienced living in a communist country and what my son endured at Belmont University it's there if it's clear as day and I want to enlighten everyone who wants to hear from me I want all parents to know this is happening in our country now too we are being silenced and shut down the title of the book folks is outcast how the radical left tried to destroy a young conservative and that is Stevie so Stevie was this a the attack on you was this coming from the BLM movement at Belmont University or in Nashville have you identified the nucleus of where this attack came from okay so let me ask you a broader question we saw during the Trump Tifa uprisings mainly Seattle Portland but obviously across the country Chicago New York but that coincided with this this COVID -19 virus outbreak as a as a university student you've now graduated but Stevie were you were you drawing any parallels to either of these things happening during the Trump administration that seemingly linked to a communist revolt within the country does that making sense were you able to draw any connect any dots Stevie we know from history that it usually doesn't work that way and the government's gonna keep taking more and more of our rights and when you couple that with what is happening what did happen in 2020 with with the riots and people getting away with committing crimes to where if you and I or anyone else who was a conservative did burn down a courthouse like they did in Nashville or protest and kill innocent people in the streets we would go to jail however because they were advancing a political movement that the liberal district attorneys in big cities supported they were let go and they were not punished like they should have been like we would have been so the hypocrisy is terrible I think it does parallel communism to where you know if you remember the black shirts Mussolini's black shirts taking control of the Italian government because they were the advancing political agenda and movement that the powers that be wanted them to they were able to harass and intimidate people into supporting them and I fear that our country is going that way and we need people to stand up now if we're ever hoping to take back our country and get it back on the right track and under control Gloria the book is recently published it looks like it was just published last month and you've got us forward by Sam Sorbo how's the reception of the book been so far what are people saying who have you spoke to about it how is it being received lot Gloria a of media outlets that are reaching out to us I'm being asked to speak almost on a daily basis different organizations different groups Stevie and I have traveled to a lot of different states throughout the country and we will continue to be touring and we are I have started a conversation and parents are now extending that conversation with their friends and that is the goal we need to start with one person talking to another and now the growth has been exponential it's incredible the book is selling very well it's available on Amazon and wherever books are sold but from what I have witnessed and the calls I am getting yes it is and I mean if we as conservatives don't speak up we're gonna be done this is it and if America Falls there is nowhere else to go and our children are being indoctrinated I don't care what level of schooling it's that they're being indoctrinated on every single level and if parents do not set a strong foundation in the household when the child is born and continue that throughout a child's life when they go to college always we will not be America any longer so the book is being well received I do have parents who have reached out to me and who have asked me questions likewise I do have some haters but that's how I know I'm making a difference because the hate is there as well yeah absolutely well said it's like when you went once you're censored you know that you're putting up the correct information on the online right Stevie are you concentrating on any particular campuses as you tour the country you point of a Christian organization and unfortunately they they canceled the meeting that was going to happen at Belmont and so been trying to help the students out there at Belmont but really I think the key thing is getting in front of as many young people as possible who are conservative and letting them know that they're not alone that the hardships they're going through have happened before and they're gonna happen again and we've got to stand up tall for what we believe in and we can't be scared of people saying mean things about us or what people put on social media or what they may say to us we've got to stand up for what we believe in if there's any chance of saving our country thank you very much let me ask you this question Gloria as we as we wind down and then I want to give each of you an opportunity to leave listeners with some final words and thoughts but Gloria as somebody who's lived in a communist country and it sounded like you did at least one year schooling their first grade what's happening right now to the border of your country what's happening down there they believe they have freedom and to an extent they do and I equate it to when I speak I speak to a lot of young people because young people are what United Women Foundation is mostly about and so when I speak I they look at me very oddly when I tell my story but what I have found that works very well is I bring up a lion at a zoo and he's in a zoo he's caged his needs are met he has food he has shelter he has water he has medical attention and it's all for free but he is still in that cage but he is able to roam in that cage correct and then we have the next picture a lion picture lion in Wyoming in Montana anywhere in this country roaming freely that lion bends for himself he finds his own food he finds his own shelter he finds his own water he takes care of himself that lion is independent to me that is the difference that is the bottom line that is the difference between communism and America that is the difference between our constitution is that lion that is roaming free throughout this country and that's what we are right now so that is something that I think resonates with young people and I I believe that putting it in a perspective of a picture like that they are beginning to understand a little bit I hope at least I mean I don't know right now what I'm seeing is a lot of people have said we cannot have an opinion because we have not experienced it which truly breaks my heart my family in Croatia thinks that they are free in effect my family basically is a caged lion yeah incredible and and let me review what is happening right now at the southern border in in the U .S.
The Café Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Store of Value and Proof of Work with Ben Justman, Founder of "Peony Lane Wine" - September 18th, 2023
"Hello, and welcome to the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast brought to you by Swan Bitcoin, the best way to buy and learn about Bitcoin.

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Happy Monday. It is time for another awesome week in Bitcoin. Man. It is so cool getting up on a Monday morning. You know, most people are like, oh, God, it's another Monday. They don't even want to get out of bed. They're dragging ass. They're like, oh, but Bitcoiners are like, let's go. All right. Good morning to all of you, Lisa. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Mickey. Morning. Good morning. Don Bay Terrence. Good morning to all of you. Shout outs to my cobart in the audience. Joe Carla. Sorry. Hi, guys. Alex, the other Alex, there is another Alex. Alex talks tweets. She works at Swan. Shout out to you. You're welcome to come up. She does some amazing stuff. I'm not there's other people in the audience here who work for Swan. I'm not going to talk to you because you guys have some semi names. I don't know. Anyway, morning, Jacob as well. Welcome back from your golf excursion or the weekend. Tone vase morning there on you an invite. I just found out I'm on a panel with tone vase for Pacific Bitcoin. I'm moderating tone vase and Pierre Richard and Jimmy song. That's awesome. And I guess our mission is to talk about shit coins. So for whatever that's worth. All right. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin episode four hundred and thirty six. Shout outs to our supporters on Fountain and Noster Nests. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach the other seven billion people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange feature we call Bitcoin. Today's show, we're going to be discussing BTC performance versus other assets. There's a tweet Saylor put out with a really interesting chart. We'll be talking about that. United States interest payments are at insane levels and the near perfect energy arbitrage of Bitcoin later today. We have Ben Justman from Penny Lane Wine coming on the show. Very excited. He's an example of the Bitcoin circular economy. So you've got people who are craftsmen making really fine high end things and they're selling them directly to big winners. And man, I love to see it because this is the future. Like we're moving away from this entire consumer rush, rush, rush, get on the hamster wheel, make money that is constantly devaluing and then spend it on shit that you're going to replace one month or one year from now because it's garbage. But that's the entire consumer economy system. It's insane. But Bitcoin is switching that. I think we're going to flip this thing completely on its head. How long will it take? I have no idea. But I think it's coming. Anybody have any opening comments you want to make before we start digging in here? Just that the coffee and the Bitcoin charts are hitting hard this morning. So let's go. Yeah, what's up with that? I saw there was something like, I don't remember the exact stat, but the open interest has is skyrocketing, I guess. We went from twenty six, what is this, five ish to twenty seven thousand two hundred and thirty ish per Bitcoin right as of right now this morning. Lisa Huff, what did you do? You know, I missed the days when Bitcoin was actually volatile, like I am excited to see that it moved and I was also excited to see that it moved down last week. But as for me personally, Alex, what you said is correct. Bitcoiners were ready to get up and do it. And in the last several months, I have, because of Bob Burnett's lovely wife, Lola, I heard a comment that she said she made about health and fitness. She said you have to approach it like it is your lifestyle. Yeah, kind of kind of changes things up. I'm raring to go at like five o 'clock in the morning. Start workout, just went to Pilates. That's my whole life story, guys. Now you know it. Nice. I like it. I think it's awesome. Like I've shifted also because now I'm on the East Coast. So the showtime starts differently for me now. And I have time first thing in the morning, get up and go do physical things. And man, it's it's been amazing. It's been awesome. You've got to exercise for life to keep your life long and healthy. It is a lifetime thing. And finding something that you enjoy doing while you exercise is critical to that. Personally, since I'm on the West Coast, I make my bed and it's a successful day before Cafe Bitcoin. And I am not qualified to discuss anything, just so everybody knows. It's all good. Shout out to Mike Germano in the audience, throwing you an invite if you would like to come up here and obligation to do so. Alex, good morning. Welcome. I think this is the first time you've been up here now. Hey, good morning, everybody. Yeah. Thanks for inviting me up. This is a lot of fun. I'm always listening while changing diapers in the morning and doing the whole mom thing before I clock in. So thanks for having me. Yeah. What are you excited about in Bitcoin and with Swan and with everything? What are you excited about? Wow. That's a loaded question. But I mean, short term, I am stoked on Pacific Bitcoin coming up. I sent out an email blast this weekend. Hopefully many of you guys received it. And I heard you mention your panel, Alex. And the description in the email of that panel is... So the title is Shitcoin Slayers, but that's pretty awesome. And basically, shitcoiners are shaking in their boots and stand no chance against Alex, Tone Vays, Jimmy, Pierre. There'll definitely be some fighting words and not some subtle jabs. It's going to be an awesome talk. Yeah, just a lot of good stuff in the pipeline for PB. Hope to see you guys there. Tone Vays, good morning. We're on a panel together. Good morning. Yeah, I saw that in the email that you were sending that over. Yeah, so that's great. Do you guys know which day that would be? That first day or second day? I have no idea. I just literally just found out myself because I got the email just like everybody else. It's funny, right? They're like, they don't even tell me. Yeah, no, it's good. I actually tweeted out just last night. Ethereum had a brand new weekly low 12 -month close against Bitcoin. And that is a very weak TA symbol for Ethereum. And it's already going down a little bit today as well. So I think, yeah, shitcoins are in a bit of trouble. But the weird thing is, though, have you guys seen what is going on over in Singapore right now with token 2049, which pretty much has become the biggest shitcoin conference in the world? It is crazy. That conference is so scary to me. It tells me that shitcoiners still have an unreasonable amount of money. And maybe the bear market's not over yet. I don't know if anyone's seen the party videos from there. No. What I wonder about is, in this next cycle, are they tapping Asia? Are you going to see a lot of shitcoin conferences over in Asia? And are they going to be gigantic? Oh, I was going to just say probably. But the scary thing is that that conference was massive. And they're renting out sweets with the best views of the... Let's get some context. Let's get some context. What do you mean by massive? What does this mean? What does massive mean to you? Numbers? Do you have an idea of a number of attendees kind of thing? I don't. I'm assuming 5 ,000 to 10 ,000 people. I wasn't going to watch that much. But it was like the after party, right? Like renting out the most expensive restaurant in Singapore. Getting front row seats or the best views of F1, a race that was happening the day after the event. If you just do the hashtag token2049 and just look at their after parties, I don't think anyone really cares. It seemed like a borderline Bitcoin 2022 or one of their older ones. It was insane. And based on how well the shitcoin community is doing, I'm like, man, this bear market may not be over yet. Well, Tone, they're long on other people's fiat, but that tells me they're short on their own tokens. That's why they're spending so hard. It's possible. Is Ethereum ever going to make new highs against Bitcoin? Nope. No, no way. And I said that on a show. I was on Ben Cohen's podcast and a lot of his audience is apparently shitcoiners. And I said that no shitcoin has ever made a new high versus Bitcoin in the following bull market of Bitcoin. Like it's never happened. Actually, I did find one exception. That exception was Doge. But that's because of Elon Musk. It's not because of anything Doge did. And BNB, right? No, BNB never really pumped in the 2017 market because it was just launching then. So BNB's high is the 2021 bull market, and that will never be surpassed. In the case of Ethereum, it's the 2017 bull market. In the case of Litecoin, it's the 2013 bull market. So if a token has been around for like a full year before the bull market, that is its ultimate high. Like it never breaches it. Ethereum will never break its 2017 high. No way.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/15/23
"I thought I was having a stroke. I think, is that me talking again? That was the previously on the Mike and Mark segment, because we got through all the important stuff, because there have been some things going on. But then I didn't really get to the part where our plane got hit by something during our sojourn in New York. What did your plane get hit by? What kind of thing hits planes these days? A bird? Bingo! Bird strike. Now, here's the good news. We were not on the plane. So what do you mean, our plane? So we're at DFW, getting ready to board for New York on Thursday afternoon last week. And then the word comes from the gate. It's never a good thing like, flight, we got a special announcement, draw near, light a fire, here we go, we got info. And it was, there would be a delay because on the way in the flight, which usually would turn around in about 45 minutes, yeah, that wasn't going to happen because there was a bird strike on the way in. And it was American. And listen, you've done a lot of travel and I have too, somewhat less, when they tell you the delay is going to be an hour and a half, you know it's going to be five. You know, you may not get out that day. Actually, the delay really wound up being about close to an hour and a half and American actually handled it very, very nicely. I'll tell you what they did, they put us on another plane, which I'm thankful for because I believe that the technicians and the workers would all get in there and make sure there's not, you know, a nest of birds in the turbine engines or so. I mean, but I was glad to be on another plane. But that gets me to question number two for my travel oracle, Mike Gallagher. You're both a travel oracle and a dog lover, right? We all love travel and dogs, correct? At the same time on the list of things we love travel. So it's a fixture now. Everybody's got, and I'm not talking about a support peacock or any of this idiocy, but actual service dogs are a common thing. And I love that when I see somebody, I know they got something going on and it just makes me feel, you know, empathy and love toward one. I sat in front of one yesterday, beautiful dog, well behaved, and a lady with special needs. You could tell she, I think she was with her daughter and that, and it was a big dog, but they were at her feet and just sleeping all through the flight and just as docile and peaceful and beautiful as can be. So here's the question I have, where do they poop? If you've got a service dog and it's like, well, it's going to be four hours. Now, some airports, DFW among them have places, I think, where you can go take the puppy when puppy has to pop a squirt. I mean, I totally get it. Lord knows if I do, it's right there. But what if a Rover has one in the chamber and I mean, we're sorry, your flight is going to be four hours. How in the world? And I've never, now that you mentioned with all the travel I do, I've never, ever heard of any kind of an accident on the plane with a service dog. Well, maybe, maybe they just have doggy bags. Would people have carry doggy bags with them? And they're able to scoop stuff up. You know, I mean, you talk about travel challenges though. My friends, Joey and Peg took three days to get back from New York to South Carolina. This is what they do. Walk. No, it was the flights were canceled because of weather on Sunday. Then they were all sold out on Monday. Then they got back on a plane Tuesday, and then it stormed again on Tuesday. They finally got in a car, tried to drive from New York to South Carolina, made it to Philly, and then were able to get on a flight from Philly into South Carolina. And that's a normal thing, though. When you say an hour and a half, believe me, tell that to Joey Hudson. It took three days. He would have killed to take an hour and a half. One of the last thing, truly last thing, because this ties into technology you talked about yesterday. We were talking about the wonderful story of the electric vehicle caravan that just was destroyed by the facts of life and Jennifer Granholm because they couldn't find a charging station, blah, blah, blah. And you talked about the Tesla experience where the, where your car knows where the charging stations are, knows how many people are at the charging station. And so that put very front of mind the notion of modern technology and how it knows where people are. Surely you've done this. That was my first experience. Again, at DFW, one of these stores, it's run by Amazon. It's called Grab and Fly, which is a very uncomfortable title where you walk, you go bloop, you scan your credit card. Then you go through a turnstile, walk in, buy, pick stuff up and walk out. And it knows what you have and hits your card. And I asked the woman, I said, how does it know that I have a magazine and a bottle of water? It just knows. And it knows where you are. It senses what you have. It senses where you are. It follows, it tells you, it tells you how long you were in the store to the second. I mean, cause, cause I just experienced my first Amazon pop -up store last week in New York. They have one right across from the hotel. You feel like you're shoplifting because you don't even walk out. You don't even have to put it. You don't even have to, or you could just carry it all out under your arms like a shoplifter. Like you're in San Francisco. It's another day in New York city. I mean, you'd walk out and then about five or 10 minutes after you leave the Amazon store, you'll get a note on your, you'll get an email and you'll get a notification on your Amazon app. Okay. You had a 33 ounce bottle of water. You had a bottle of two bag of chips. You have it. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I totally love it. I love it until this technology is suddenly turned against us, which could happen at any moment. I'm thinking so. Now, speaking of technology, how much have you done with AI? How much have you done on air about artificial intelligence? Have you talked about it? Okay. In terms of talking about whether the answer is a little in, I can give you a 30 second summation. I'm fascinated by perfect framework because I'm fascinated by it. There are parts of it that are really cool. I think it's making students lazy cause they're getting it to write compositions for them, but you can always tell when AI has done it because it's kind of passionless and unartful. I farted around with a stupid chat GPT thing. I remember I had it write a promo for your show, which was actually pretty good and et cetera, et cetera. But the whole notion of surrendering to artificial brains, all manner of things is a little daunting to me. Now, when you asked me about it as a topic - Well, let me tell you what I'm getting to. When I bring it up - Instead of your dissertation, let me tell you why I'm asking you about it because we got a big problem on our hands. I'm going to tell you right now, and your indifference to it has been my indifference to - I'm not indifferent. No, no, no. I don't mean indifference, but I'm with you. I'm exactly the way you've been. It's like, oh, okay. It's kind of cool. Let me tell you something. It's bad, and they're holding hearings on Capitol Hill, Mark, and let me tell you how it hit us yesterday, a dose of reality that applies to what we do for a living because this is not chat GPT. This is real potential for some serious mayhem and Armageddon. Let me tell you what happened. I'm on the show yesterday, and I can see, I don't know how your setup is in your studio in Dallas, but I can see the incoming calls that Tracy is getting when they call the show. Line four lights up. It's Los Angeles. I see Tracy because we're all on camera in this setup we have, and I can see her eyes get real big. She puts the guy on hold. She says, oh my gosh, it's Bill Maher on line four. I said, Bill Maher? She goes, yeah, and I look up, and she's got Bill Maher on the screen, line four, Los Angeles. I said, it's not Bill Maher. She goes, I'm telling you, I'm talking to him. I know what he sounds like. It's Bill Maher. I say, Eric, talk to the guy. See if it's Bill Maher. And supposedly, he's calling a few select talk shows that he respects to explain why he's bringing his show back to HBO despite the writer's strike. And he is bringing his show back despite the writer's strike. That's a story. Good for him. It's a cool story because he's telling them, you know what? I got people that got to pay the bills. And here we go with 46 % pay raise, and they want to work one less day a week and 90 weeks of vacation. Oh, yeah. Other than that, they're fine. I'm going to take the labor side in a minute, but finish. Oh, please. Well, let's not get distracted with that crap. A little bit. Go ahead. A labor side. Yeah, you take the labor side. I'm going to have some love for the law workers. You go demand, Jeff Mitchell, you want a 46 % pay raise tomorrow. Give me a break. Give me a break. It's not the same thing. Don't be a pro -union. Come on, give me a break. I'm the last person to do that, but those workers were told certain things and had certain things happen and they've been screwed to a degree. But they want a 46 % pay raise. They want a 32 hour work week. They want 40 hour pay for 32 weeks of work, 32 hours of work. They want, give me a break. They're greedy. They might be entitled to something, but they ain't entitled to what they're demanding. Don't take the side. Okay, Richard, Jimmy Hoffa, knock it off. Don't squirrelly on me. Oh, golly. Focus, focus. So Bill Maher. Well, yeah, you tell him good. Be pro labor. Yeah, you'd be pro labor. So anyway, Bill Maher. So I say, Eric, get on the phone. Talk to the guy. Eric has been at this for 25 years. Yes. He is a veteran. He comes back to me, eyes bugged open. He said, Mike, I'm 95 % sure that's Bill Maher. I said the final. It was responsive. He asked it. He asked it questions and he asked the question and the guy answered. Now I say, finally, we see the number on the screen. We have caller ID. I said, what's the, what's the number? We ran it. We run a check on the number. Oh, it's, it's Bill Maher. So the guy, so I'm thinking, I think it's him. So I went on the air with him. Listen to what it sounded like. No. Okay. Listen to what? Well, listen, why not? Bill Maher's calling the show. Because you know, it's fake because I don't know it's fake. Bill flipping Maher is not going to cold call radio stations. He's going to have three, three production assistants call your people and that's how it's going to go. Okay. So listen to the exchange. Listen, listen to the exchange. We're all mystified by this. I'm going to, we're going to probably get burned on this. Uh, I got, and the problem is I got 30 seconds left in this segment. So we're all, we're all taking bets as to whether or not you are really Bill Maher. Is this Bill Maher? Yes, it is Bill Maher. Thanks for letting me come on.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Commemorating The 22nd Anniversary Of The Sept. 11th, 2001 Attacks
"It's funny how people lie about actual real world events, even as we witnessed them on video, like Trump's visit to the Iowa football game. And he just got a resounding welcome. And they were trying to pretend he was being booed. You know, because there might have been a smattering of boos or a few people that gave him the middle finger, they wanted to pretend that he didn't get an absolute hero's welcome at the football stadium. And the video showed he did. Even CNN acknowledged it. Screaming, USA! USA! Trump! Trump! Trump! Man, oh, man. Republicans need to focus on Iowa and New Hampshire to try to stop him. I guess that might be their firewall if you're Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or one of the others. I don't know how they're going to stop him. We shall see. It's September 11th. We're broadcasting from lower Manhattan. It's been 22 years since the September 11th attacks changed our world forever, changed our way of life, changed the way we view, oh, things like freedom. Freedom is on my mind today a lot. And I want to start with a difficult question about 9 -11. You know, 9 -11 spurred the Patriot Act, where the government felt that steps needed to be taken in order to be able to thwart terrorism. And the Patriot Act essentially took away the freedom that many, many Americans had enjoyed. Now, I understand we've got to try to figure out how to battle terrorism. Totally get it. But what I'm not too clear on is when the door got cracked open, where today the government is criminalizing speech to such an extent that they want to lock up the 45th president of the United States. The New York Times did a huge piece. Trump's indictments, key players in the 2020 election effort, it is quite the quite the article. They call out just about everyone in Trump's orbit and essentially accused them of being co -conspirators in a crime to overturn the 2020 election. It's insane. It's insane to witness the absolute destruction of speech in this country. And I want to ask you a difficult question. I want to start with it. Did it begin with the Patriot Act? Did this begin with 9 -11? Because my hunch is it might have. And if so, then Republicans are culpable as well. I think the more immediate place we're at right now is due to COVID. COVID cracked open the door to say, hey, if you question anything about the vaccine or about masks or about lockdowns, we're going to destroy your life. We're going to get you fired. We're going to deplatform you. We might even put lock you up. If you dare, I know a guy who lost a job, a good job, because he expressed a belief on social media that he shouldn't have to wear a mask because his coworkers were triggered by him. Now, he has since sued the employer, and I hope he wins. That's still winding its way, I think, through the legal process. But that's just one example of many. Everybody has an example. Everybody knows an example of somebody who paid a heavy price for daring to open their mouth. It used to be that America is a place where you were allowed to open your mouth. You were allowed to question authority. You were allowed to question any narrative you wanted, and we weren't going to lock you up for it. Democrats in 2016 questioned the election. All of them did. I've played that montage for you 100 times. Hillary, John Lewis, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jimmy Carter, they all said Trump didn't win. The New York Times isn't doing a big expose on them. The New York Times isn't calling them out. But now they're calling out, and I mean everybody, Ronna McDaniel, Ted Cruz, Mike Lindell, anybody within—in fact, I saw in the comments section of this shocking article in the New York Times, somebody said, well, shouldn't Fox News be next? What about talk radio? Yeah, that's right. The left wants to lock all of us up for daring to express opinions. When did this terrible, dark chapter begin? Was it COVID, or was it 9 -11 and the creation of the Patriot Act? Let's start there. I want to flood my phone lines here on this Monday in the Relief Factor studios with your phone calls. Right here in the Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition phone number, it's 800 -655 -MIKE. That's the way for you to join us. I want you to tell me where you think it began. Did it begin with 9 -11 and the Patriot Act? Because we're in a bad place right now. I just read that New York Times article three or four times in a sense of shock. Could not think they can get away with weaponizing and criminalizing free speech in America. And that's a bad place to be. Let's get your take on it. And again, you're smart. You got the smartest audience in the world. Where did it start? Did it begin with 9 -11? Did it begin with COVID? Did Republicans do enough to stop this? Give me your take on tyranny Democrat Party style 2023 America. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. 800 -655 -6453. Press 1 to come on air with us. Press 2 to leave a voicemail.

A highlight from The Debut of NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube
"Welcome everyone to SI Media with Jimmy Traina. I am your host, Jimmy Traina. Thank you so much for listening. Bonus episode, bonus podcast on this Monday after the first Sunday of the NFL season.

And Sal Licata, who joins me every week for Train of Thoughts from WFAN in New York and SNY TV in New York, joins me where we share our experiences with Sunday Ticket on YouTube, getting it set up, what we thought of it, full review, full breakdown of everything, what you need to know about it, what their differences are if you have YouTube TV, if you have cable, full breakdown of everything all related to NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. That's what this pod is with Sal. It's like a full -blown Train of Thoughts. So listen to Sal and I discuss it, come back later in the week for a regular episode.

All right, let's get to it now with Sal. Full episode here on NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. All right here right now on SI Media with Jimmy Traina. Welcome everyone to SI Media with Jimmy Traina. Thanks for listening. Bonus episode this week. This will be one of two. We're taping this on Monday after the first week of the NFL season, the debut of the new Sunday Ticket on Yahoo, on Yahoo. What a dope. On YouTube, on YouTube, I had to get on with Sal and we're just gonna riff about our Sunday Ticket experiences in week one. Sal, how are you? I'm great and I'm excited to have this conversation with you because we've had this many times over the years at dinner, at our houses, whatever, discussing this exact thing. And we both, I know, had great experiences yesterday. So I'm looking forward to talking about it with you. Well, let's start with this. There are many, many train of thought segments on this podcast over the last three months where you said you were not going to get Sunday Ticket. You were not going to get it. You're just focusing on the New York teams. And then I got the text message. Let's see here if I can find the text message. Even, even early, I noticed you were starting to cave a little bit earlier this week. Actually, 9 .34 a .m. on Sunday, I'm still on the fence. And then at 10 .45 a .m., the text came in from Sal. I'm in. It's like Michael Jordan returning to the NBA. I know. I thought about writing to you. I'm back. I was thinking about it as the week went on. I told you, like, because of the lineup with the playing Giants Sunday and the Jets playing Monday, that to me made it worse. Or you were saying, oh, well, you're going to have the national games. Yeah. But knowing that I didn't have to watch those games at that time made it more appealing for me to get the get the Sunday ticket. So I kind of thought I'd be going that way. And then Sunday morning I was like, fuck it. Let me just get this thing in. It's worth the money. Let me see what it's all about. And is it great. So so let me do a little preamble here before we get into it, because I want to say this and let me know if you agree, disagree. But before we even discuss this, I think what we need to establish is this. How you feel about Sunday ticket, whether it's direct TV, YouTube, the changes or it's it's going to depend on how you watch football, number one, and it's going to depend on what services you have. Now, for instance, Sal has direct TV. I have I don't have direct TV. Oh, oh, you have optimum cable. Correct. OK. Optimum cable. You were scamming the direct TV Sunday ticket all these years. That's right. All right. I did have direct TV. Right. And this is an important part of it. I don't want to gloss over it. And then I moved into the city and I was not allowed to get direct TV. So what they did was allow me to stream Sunday tickets. So I have been able to stream Sunday ticket for several years. So whether you have optimum like Sal, I have Verizon, Fios. Some people have direct TV. Some people don't have any cable. They have streaming services. That's a factor in all this. And then the other thing that I think added so much confusion over the last couple of weeks and is early yesterday there's also this huge Sunday ticket is different based on whether you have YouTube TV or you're just using YouTube. Now, Sal and I both have cable, so we're just using YouTube. If you have YouTube TV, the experience is different. So there's a lot of layers to this. It's very convoluted. I'm going to do my best to try to break it down for you now. So the biggest thing is this. If you have YouTube TV, you're good to go with Sunday ticket with your in -market and out -of -market games. You have nothing to worry about. If you don't have YouTube TV, like Sal and I, you're not getting the local market game. So on Sunday here in New York, Steelers, Niners was on Fox at one o 'clock. Browns, Bengals was on CBS at one o 'clock. Those games are not part of our Sunday ticket packages on YouTube. If you have YouTube TV, they were. So if you don't have YouTube TV and you just have YouTube, you have to have more than one television. I think if you want to watch all the games, if you care about one team, you're fine. You really do need to have two TVs because what I did was I had on my big TV, the multi -view with the four games. And on the second TV, I had one of the local games because that's how you have to do it. So, so far I weigh in on what I've said so far. Yes. Okay. Question here. Number one, if I had YouTube TV, do I then get the local games as part of the game mix? Yes. Oh, shit. See, so I may consider then, I don't know if I'm realistically going to do it, but that to me is like the number one thing that's been missing forever on the prior service. And now that I cannot have, because like you, I like to have the game mix and the four box grid, but it automatically takes out whatever local game is on. And I hate that. So here in New York, we could not get a four game multi -view that had either Steelers Niners or Browns Bengals in it on Sunday. Cause those are in market games. So there was no multi -view whether it was four games, three games that had those games in it. If you had YouTube TV, those games were part of the multi -view. So you, so you, so you would consider getting rid of optimum and getting YouTube TV. Well, I didn't know that that was the case. I mean, I probably, truth be told, I'll never be a cord cutter, but if I were to get it in addition, it might be worth it at least just for the season. Now I screwed up because I bought the ticket. Although I guess you have this period now where it's kind of, um, you know, the tree trial period and I can make a decision at the end of the week, but, uh, I'd rather than go back and get the ticket much cheaper if you buy YouTube TV, I think. Right. You know, YouTube TV is like $80 a month. It's like a cable service.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ryan Girdusky
"Welcome to the Eric Metaxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here, in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by. And now here's your Ralph Kramdinger, the president of the airways, Eric Metaxas. Hey there, folks, welcome to the program. We have two exciting guests coming up and three really dull guests. But we're not gonna play the dull guests. We're only gonna play the exciting guests today. Yeah. Right? Absolutely. Right? Yeah. Right. That's right. No, but actually the first one is Ryan Gerdusky, and he really has been heroic in explicating the lunacy of the woke universe. So we're gonna be talking to Ryan, I believe right after this segment. Yeah. And he's coming in studio in person, which is always fun. That's what I hear. Yeah. He'll be right here in this studio. Now, Chris, I gotta tell you, I keep wanting to talk about like my favorite films. Yeah. And my viewing habits. I mean, it's the end of the summer. You probably got to get some summer viewing in. I don't believe in summer viewing, but I watch all my films indoors exclusively. But I recently, I think I mentioned this yesterday, I knew this would happen eventually. I knew TV would fundamentally change and that at some point the world of TV and internet would like mush together so that there's no, right? And so I think we're finally there. So I can now turn on the TV and I can search for like Hitchcock movies and I can find Hitchcock movies, right? And it's kind of a cool thing because there are so many great films that I've missed over the years or films that I've seen I wanna see again, right? But the other day, Suzanne and I were looking around for what to watch. And I thought, holy cow, it's the 39 steps. This was the 1935 film that Alfred Hitchcock did. Now that's the year he also made The Man Who Knew Too Much, which was remade 20 years later with like Doris Day and Jimmy Stewart, whatever. But in the 30s, I mean, it's hard to believe that Hitchcock was operating in the mid 30s and that the films are obviously Hitchcock films, right? Like when you watch it, you just go, this is Hitchcock film. It's got a MacGuffin, it's just classic. But we watched the 39 steps and it was so good. This is the 1935 version. At least I thought it was so good for many reasons. But one of the things that made it great, there's a scene. I could just watch the scene over and over. It's where the hero played by Robert Donat, he's wandering through the Scottish countryside and he's on the lam. This is classic Hitchcock, right? Like he's running from the law because they believe he's a murderer. He's not a murderer, of course. But they believe he's a murderer. And so he's running from the law and he comes to the home, it's described as a Scottish crafter. So this is this really kind of bitter, like harshly religious guy who lives in this place near the Loch, near, I can't remember the town. In the Highlands. In the Highlands of Scotland.

The Defense Department is calling on Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville to stop blocking military confirmations in the Senate. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh says more than 300 confirmations have been delayed so far. For the first time in history, three of our military branches, the Army, the Navy and the Marine Corps, have no Senate confirmed service chief. Officials said the hold is impacting military readiness and national security. Tuberville is blocking the confirmations in protest of the Pentagon's policy to reimburse service members who travel out of state for abortions.

He's joining Fox's NFL kickoff, which is at 11 a .m. Eastern every Sunday little pregame action Julian Edelman Julian, how's it going? Going well, how are you doing? I'm doing well. I'm doing very well cuz football is here. So it was back Thank God is fully back. I Mean, I wish I wish the trends Kelsey wasn't hurt because I feel like that takes a little bit away from the opening game But it is what it is If you look at it though over the last However, many years the Kansas City Chiefs have been on this run. They've had relatively pretty decent help Throughout their whole thing. I mean they left they lost the left tackle in the Super Bowl That's why they lost against, you know, Brady they couldn't protect Patrick Mahomes but it's it's getting to that time in their Era it where gets hard, you know being a guy that's been on one of those teams a dynasty. They're not there quite yet but uh You know, they're well on their way if they could stay healthy and you would know better than anyone about dynasty So when would you say they're there? How many would they have to win before you say they're a dynasty everyone knows it's three Okay, I don't know what's going on. Everyone keeps on talking like oh This is you you into no, it doesn't matter if you get to the Super Bowl We went to eight straight AFC championships or something like that. Like you got to win three to get to be in Cowboys previous Patriots Niners Steelers It's not two. It's not two So tell me I want to get into your Fox gig and transitioning to meeting that since we're on it It's a good topic because I'm just curious because one of the things I'm looking at is someone who's scouting Over -unders to bet and and you know who's gonna win the AFC and stuff like that The I Motivation shouldn't say the motivation. I mean, I think the motivation is there even if you win But is it difficult or how difficult is it after winning two like they've won? It's very difficult To get geared up every Sunday, you know people don't realize How hard it is once you go out win a Super Bowl Okay, now they have two that when you win that first one you become a target everyone circles you on the schedule You win another one now everyone circling now now Divisions and conferences are designing their teams to beat you. So it gets harder and harder and as an individual player You know Your motivation you have to pull what what's motivating you because natural human instinct you're like You know, we got this we're good and then you know something happens you have injuries here an injury They're a player doesn't sign back because no two teams are the same. It's a new team every year. So it's very hard mentally To keep it going, you know And you have and they have a leader in Patrick Mahomes that can do that We had Tom Brady Tom Brady was always always on he was like he was always motivated So that gives you hope for the Kansas City Chiefs because they have such a great player and Patrick Mahomes who's their leader You know their best player is is their quarterback is their leader and the way he is is huge. Do you think? the intensity to beat the Chiefs to throne the Chiefs is Similar to what you guys experience and I ask you from this standpoint and I hope you don't take offense to this But I feel like I feel like the Chiefs are not hated in any way I'd feel like no one dislikes Mahomes No one dislikes Andy Reid you guys and I think it was mainly because of your success But there were people who didn't like Tom for whatever reason there was the ridiculousness with the flake eight the stupidest thing ever people didn't like Belichick, maybe You guys I don't think we're like Completely beloved whereas KC seems like I don't know who maybe people are sick of Travis Kelsey a little bit Like our teams you think is amped up to beat the Chiefs as they were you guys I Think the games changed the player has changed Just as an overall, I mean we look at games nowadays you got guys over here You know dapping up helping guys back back when we were playing the Jets when I first got in the league Bart Scott was mother -effing Billy O 'Brien on the sideline guys were fighting before, you know, it's just it's kind of changed And it could be for good or could be for bad. That's for weather for everyone else to determine But and also, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs that the Patriots were on it for 20 years Okay, like when I got there they already had three Super Bowls and they were on a little drought, you know But they were still winning, you know, they went 7 16 and oh they you know 14 win seasons they were still putting out big winning seasons for a long a longer time and You know the Chiefs just haven't been there I'm so I'm sure the Chiefs keep on doing well that people are gonna start hating them too, you know, yeah. Yeah The I want to get into some other stuff about the Patriots and and Belichick and Brady and but let's talk about you going to Fox you did inside the NFL. I enjoyed you on there I wrote that a couple times for SI. Now. You're gonna be on the Fox NFL kickoff show. It's remarkable I don't know if you've seen it Maybe you just know it off the top of your head because you friends with all these people but it is remarkable how every patriot is in media now is on TV, you know, you've got the McCordy's Gronk is part of the Fox family. Everyone knows about the Brady situation McGinnis the TV Bruschi It's like if you're on you were part of our Patriot team good love winners. Yeah people love winners Yeah, and they hate them so, you know you get a little bit of both They're either gonna love your hate you but they're gonna watch you It's like you had no choice but to go into TV basically after after all it's it's I don't know it's uh, You know when you play for an organization like New England and You've had the success that we had over the years that we played, you know It opens up a lot of doors and it's plain and simple. That's that's really what it is The the sacrifice and the efforts that we put into our career helped us after our career and a lot of guys you know, they have that hard work mentality that still want to stay in the game, but may not want to be coaches and And that's what media is, you know, that's what I feel. You know, I get my football fix by Going into a pre -production meeting and I haven't done it with Mike Vick or Charles Woodson or Chris and Thomas or Peter Shrager But you get your football locker room kind of vibe when you do those like when I was on inside the NFL I'm sitting there talking with Phil Simms Patrick, uh, you know, Brandon Marshall Michael Irving, Ray Lewis, James Brown and you have these These meetings where you just get to sit and talk football It's before you go on the lights are shining but you sit and you're talking stories You're breaking football down with people that play football So, I think that's a huge probably reason about it and you know, it's not you know We're used to putting in these crazy hours 14 -hour days Seven days a week don't get this year family and media, you know, like you got to do your homework You got to you got to watch all the games, but you know, we can still have a life outside of it, you know These guys are going coach. I mean people always ask me. Why aren't you in coaching and I go You know, I did my time Like I put my my 12 13 14 hour days in and when I would leave work I would see coaches families in the parking lot Seeing the coaches before they would go to bed because they still had another three hours. I ain't doing that Yeah, you know and then if you go somewhere else where it's not like that Then I'm mentally all messed up because well, there's some people that are doing it, you know So it's just I like I'm happy or I'm mad. I'm excited to go out and entertain and talk my knowledge When you were playing and you're playing days towards the end of your career Did you think you would get into TV or did you not think about it while you were playing? I Didn't necessarily think I'd become an analyst and do what I'm doing right now I always enjoyed creating content You know whether it was our YouTube videos our Instagram videos and all the content we build on J around je11 You know that was booming with with the Patriot nation that would always support, you know I always I found a niche in that and and I enjoyed that process of creating content going in and sitting in a you know in a editing room and and Filming up all this stuff and thinking it's gonna be terrible and then cutting it down and then you know having all your other team Because there's a team of people, you know That put put the work in to to get this good content out and I enjoyed it So I didn't know it was gonna be to the extent of what I'm doing right now but I knew you know, I was comfortable in front of a camera and you know, I know I faced for radio, but Thank God I won a lot of games Had it and just tell me were were there other networks like in the running to get your services Was it just Fox like I'd end up at Fox why Fox? Tell me a little bit about joining I want to say any other names there were, you know There was another network that was involved and I sat down and I thought Fox would be perfect You know, I got a couple teammates there with Gronk Brady You know, I'm really excited to get to hang out with you know Charles Woodson and in talk football with Mike Vick and Chris Thompson Peter Schrager and you know Fox is like a If you know the story behind Fox, I mean they were created as This little small sport network with John Madden.
Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Ep. 116 - Talking About The Music Of 1977
"Well, here we are. Episode 116. On the march to 200 and beyond. And on this episode, I have the Wrecking Two with me, Mark Smith and Luke Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. And we're going to be talking about the year 1977, and music, and some movies, some news flashbacks maybe. Interesting, yeah. I say it was the beginning of the end of the 70s. Yeah. So sit back, relax, get yourself some Acapulco Gold or some Panama Red, break open a bottle of Rianini Limbrusco, sit back, relax, and enjoy 1977 all over again. The KLFB Studio presents Milk Crate and Turntables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now, let's talk music. Enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction, as usual. I got a little FaceTime from young Amanda this afternoon. So I'm sitting there just kind of chilling. Oh, my little girl's calling me. She calls me. And hi. I'm like, what's up, little girl? She just kind of looks and says, can I see the cats? Oh, yeah, that's my life. She don't miss me. Misses the cats. Anyway, welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. And welcome to the podcast. Do you know the name of it? So I'm not going to say it. We're streaming live right now over YouTube, Twitch, Twitter. It's Twitter, formerly known as Twitter X, whatever, a lot of them all over the place. It's going to be a good show tonight. It's going to be a good show. In the intro, I mentioned Acapulco Gold. And speaking of Acapulco Gold, it's Luke Aleccio from the Music Relish show. No stems, no seeds that you don't need. Acapulco Gold is... There you go, buddy. That's a blast. That's sweet. Let me give you some of that, buddy. Thank you. Yeah. A little teaching charm for you. Enough of that. And speaking of Panama Red, it's Mark Smith from the Music Relish. Chardonnay Gold. Instead of Acapulco Gold, he's got the Chardonnay Gold. Yeah. As usual. What's up, gentlemen? How you doing, gentlemen? Good. How are you? Doing all right. Doing all right. Yeah. Hey, you know who I don't miss? Who? I really don't miss Jimmy Buffett. Let's start off the show on a... He's a cynic. I don't miss him. I don't miss him. I'm not going to miss Jimmy Buffett. I really jumped on that bandwagon. Never really got it. Me neither. To me, it's not a bandwagon thing. It's something where I knew there's two or three songs and more steel drums, really more steel drums. But things I've heard, you know, scanning through Margaritaville radio, there was some pretty good stuff. You know, like nothing going to change your world, but you know... It's not my type of music. No, I'm not a parrothead. And I think his concerts were his big, like the Grateful Dead, you know? The concert is what it is. The experience. Yeah. Right? The Jimmy Buffett experience. I guess so. Yeah. It was his motif, you know, escapism kind of, you know. But he did spawn that horrible genre of golf and western music. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather sit in the parking lot with a cooler of beers and a hibachi and listen to the pretenders. Yeah. Did Jimmy ever tour with the dead? Is there really a fuck up with the dead? That would have been a huge crowd, though. Boy, that's the mellowest concert ever. Dead parrotheads. Dead parrotheads. I think he's more of that mellow west coast. I think I could see him touring with the Eagles or James Taylor, I think, more now. He's some Key West buddy. Don't put him on the left coast. No, no, no. He's a Key West man. He was his own entity. Actually, he moved from the Key West. He didn't live there for a long time. Right. But his studio was there. His studio was right next to his bar, right like connected to his studio. Yeah. So that's where he would go. I remember when I worked U .S. Customs behind the scenes at Miami International, he had his own private jet. It would come up from, I guess, the Keys, but he didn't travel in just anything. It would be like, because if you have your own jet, you have a parking spot. You would have a bus. You would have a bus, like a tour bus would take him from Key West. It is from Miami. It's about a two hour drive. So you're going to do it in luxury, but everything's good with you guys. Hot. Yeah. Too damn hot up here in New York. It's hot as Bono's whatever was balls in the back of my neck. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like this. I want winter. Did Lou freeze up? Oh, no. There we go again. The pressure's on me. I got to be Lou. You've got to be Lou. Let me get this brain. I've got to be Lou. I've got to be Lou. Then there he goes. He's off the screen. Ten minutes. Let's set the timer. Set the timer. Will he break ten minutes? Will he come back on under ten minutes? Let's see. I'm starting it. See? I got the timer going there. All right. All right. Well, we're talking about 1977. I was old, but eight years old. So, I was, let me see, probably 12 going on 13, I think, right? I'm 59 now, so you're what, 56? 53. 53? Yeah. And you were eight? Yeah. I was born in 1969. So, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Yeah. That was right. 13. Well, 12, 13. Yeah. Yeah. I think I was beginning. I was a freshman. I was a freshman. Although, where I grew up, the freshman didn't go to the high school. That was only 10, 11, and 12. Ninth grade was at its own building. Oh. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, 1977, interesting year. Yeah. A lot happened. Yeah. As I said in the intro, I think 1977 was the beginning of the end of the 70s. Yeah. Things were really starting to change. I think disco still had a little bit of a hold, but I think that was the tail end of disco, and it was the beginning of punk, and so there was a transition. That's where, I think, right there is where it started. So, let's get right into 77, as I usually do. I'm starting to like this little format. Yeah. Year by year. And it makes a long podcast, but hey, listen, we're in it for the ride with whoever's listening. We're in it for the ride. January 1st, 1977, The Clash headlined the opening night of London's only punk rock club. You know the name of that club? No. The Roxy. Another Roxy. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So, let's start right off with stories. So, I get off the plane at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. So, 10 years later, right? 10 years later, 87, I get off the plane. My buddy's there, meets me. It lands right on the base. They called it the freedom bird because the turnaround flight was taking people home, right? I get, you know, they bring me back to temporary quarters. I get changed. My buddy's like, let's go. And we go off base. And it is absolutely insane. Like, you can't even imagine the sounds and sights and the energy. And yeah, I can always say, like, if you saw Deer Hunter when Robert De Niro goes back to Saigon, you know, and it's like just that motor, little motorcycles driving by and it's a dirt road. The main street is a dirt road. And this was your first time in the Philippines? In the Philippines. Yeah. It's stationed there. And my buddy says to me, he says, all right, listen, when you go into these bars, you got to act like you've done it before. Oh, come on. I grew up in Boston. I run the streets. I was in the subways. Of course I can. I walk in the first bar I walk into, The Roxy. It's called The Roxy, right? And I just, first thing you see is a bar, a U -shaped bar, right? Big U -shaped bar. The music is just cranking. I think it was like Motley Crue or something just cranking. And right in the middle of that, running right down the center of that Horseshoe bar was a stage and there had to be 15 girls up there just dancing. Like go -go girls type thing. Uh -huh. In bikinis. I was like, what the fuck? Oh, shit. And then I order a beer and the bartender is this Filipino girl. She looks, she says, first thing she says to me, you cherry boy. Cherry boy. Meaning I'm new. And I said, I looked at my buddy. I said, how does she know? He says, it's in your eyes. You're just staring around. They see it in your eyes. Yeah. They know that look. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from Bukele's Plan to Keep El Salvador Bitcoin Country | EP 818
"They're really, really serious about this Bitcoin thing. So anyways, that's what I wanted to cover today. I think it's really, really important that not only is Bitcoin taught to kids at a very, very young age, but also more importantly, that, you know, this happens worldwide, right? And I'm gonna pass this question to Alex. Alex, do you think it's a coincidence that financial education is not given in high school? Money is not talked about during high school. Is that a coincidence? What's going on there? Not at all. I don't think that's a coincidence at all. If you look at the type of things that are being taught in American schools today, this concept of really demoralizing the nation and kind of getting people into this mode that goes along with this feeling of disempowerment. So it kind of switches them into this mode where they just don't believe in the system. They feel very disempowered. They want to attack everything that has anything to do with power or authority or unfortunately, even success. Like there's this video that I saw the other day that I thought was really good. It was called Postmodern Resentment. I'm trying to remember the name of the guy that had it, but he was basically talking about how like people get into this situation where, especially in an environment like this, where you've got inflation that is so high, people begin to feel powerless. So once they begin to feel powerless, if they own that enough, they start to resent anybody who's doing well. And that is a perfect breeding ground for these types of ideas, which are then used really to destroy the systems of the existing free state. That's a very dangerous pathway. And I think it was Bastiat that said, and I'm paraphrasing him, because this is not the exact quote, but it's something like this, is that if you want to take over a country, you do it in the schools. And I saw this kind of stuff happening many years ago. I want to say in the early 2000s, I was very concerned about it. In fact, I even left the United States for a period of almost 11 years to live in another country, because I didn't want my kids growing up in that school system. I think it's very dangerous and it's leading to a lot of not ideal outcomes right now. Yeah, a hundred percent. I 100 % agree with you. You sense it. It's this very defeatist mindset, nihilistic mindset, but at the same time, I really believe that the root cause of it is Fiat itself. I think if you corrupt the base layer of society, if the base layer of society is based on lies, I think that has a lot of unintended consequences. It infects every facet of society. I don't think that it's a coincidence that the first society that fixed the base layer, made Bitcoin legal tender, the person that was elected into office is actually doing the things that he said he was gonna do if he was elected. I do not think that's a coincidence, but maybe I'm seeing things. I did ask Max and Stacy. Stacy agreed. I did ask Jimmy Song. Jimmy Song agreed, but I think it's too early to tell. I'm cautious to say statements like that. But anyways, Opti, what's your take on this? What's your take on that video? And shout out to our chat, because someone in the chat was someone that pointed out, that's Edward Griffin that's doing that interview. And again, we all know the book that he wrote. Anyways, Opti, what's your take? Yeah, so first and foremost, as a product of the American public school student, I think this is awesome. And for those that aren't from America, that don't get the meme about being an American public school student, it basically means that it's a running joke that you're dumber than your counterparts that go to a private school or are homeschooled. And look, Niko, you said that we're not gonna say that it's by design, but I'm gonna double down and say that I think it is by design. Sorry, bro, but it's very obvious. And you're not taught, and we're obviously being rhetorical in these questions, why are we not taught about money or the inner workings of money and how they work? And again, I'm gonna say that it's by design, because if people understood the inner workings of banking, of the Federal Reserve, of money, of state controlling money, I think they would get pissed off. What's that one saying? If people knew how banking worked, there'd be a revolution overnight. So again, what do we say? There's no coincidences, but there's also - There's no conspiracies, but there's also - There's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences. Exactly, and it's like, you can't have one without the other. You can't have a financial system that is designed to steal from them and have an educated citizenry. It just doesn't work like that, or else people would get pissed off and things would change. And obviously, the status quo wants to remain the same. And look, maybe this is Niko and Opti, or rather, we'll say just Opti being conspiratorial here, but Safteen even says it himself, where basically American public schools are designed to make you into a Soviet labor worker, something on the lines of our American public school system was designed in such a way that they took it from the Soviet Russia education system, and they basically just make you and design you to be a factory worker. So of course, they're not gonna educate you on money or tell you how the inner workings of banking work. Of course, this is by design. And yes, of course, in this topic about El Salvador, there is some concern about it being state mandated and the threat there. And I know Bitcoiners get skeptical and we're always looking at attack vectors, but I would say overall that this is a benefit for not only El Salvador, but for the kids out there. We say it all the time and shouts at the fossil, he says it, but it's about the kids. And the best way to make Bitcoiners is to teach them young. You don't have to talk to the older generation and have them unlearn everything about what they think to be true. Again, I just watched the big short the other day, and what's that Mark Twain quote in the beginning of, it's not what you know that is wrong, it's what you think you know that isn't true, that really hurts you. And this is where we are. There's so many people out there, we would say the majority of the citizenry in America or in the first world, that believe that the world works a certain way and it's literally what is causing them to be poor. So like, I don't know. I mean, I think it's very smart to start with the kids and get them on a Bitcoin education program. And obviously we haven't been able to fully decipher what the program is, but if it's being led by Safedean, I am sure it's going to be an epic, epic Bitcoin education program. And it really makes me think of, I grew up playing lacrosse as a kid. And so I learned a little bit about native Americans. And one of the things that I really enjoyed is the meme of seven generation thinking. And we have Yuri saying it on the opposite side, that if you get a control of the kid's mind in what, 30 years, 10 years, a few decades, you can completely change the fabric of society. And this is where we are. And so we're going to have to do the opposite, but in a positive manner is teach people how to be Bitcoiners, why Bitcoin, why hard money and start with them young. So like, you know, there's kids out there already that have been living in a Bitcoin only world. And it's just already second nature to them. You know, like my little, I have a cousin, she's like 10 years old and I'll send her Bitcoin and she has a Bitcoin wallet. And she's just like, this is so much easier than banking. It's like, it's so simple. If this is the first thing you've encountered, like Nico and I talk about all the time. If you go to a bank as a kid, they won't even let you get a bank account and you just download an app. And it's like, okay, here you go. You are your own bank. Mom, send me some sats. It's as easy as that. And the kids are going to grow up. They're already tech savvy and this is going to be second nature for them. And this is how we win that culture wars by instilling in them young that Bitcoin is the way you save. And why are you holding this fake paper money? Like what is going on here? Like you old people are crazy. Oh man. Oh man. Opti, Opti is the in -house. I'm the voice of the audience here. Opti is the in -house, outside the Overton window guy. Anyways. I'm not even that far outside. I'm just like, here guys, come here, come here. Like you're almost there. You're almost there. All right, guys, I want to give a shout out to our sponsor, Bitcoin evangelism. The great Tatum turnip once said Bitcoin evangelism is like if the Bitcoin standard and Bitcoin for dummies had a baby. Have you ever struggled to answer your skeptical, no coin or friends objections? Or maybe you answered it perfectly, but they just didn't understand what you said.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/06/23
"So, we saluted the life of Jimmy Buffett yesterday, properly so, but boy did we miss a birthday yesterday. Freddie Mercury would have been 77, passed away back in 91, so I had to pick a Queen song, had to pick a Queen record. How about You're My Best Friend for the Mike and Mark segments? Not bad. There you go, buddy. We can sing We Are the Champions because we're the champion of all things mysterious. And topics that need to be explored. We go where few dare go. You shut me down yesterday when I told you about the Delta Airlines flight that was forced to land. But then, of course, you saw it all over Twitter and X and everything, right? Well, I know because everybody's 12 years old. Somebody had a, I don't even want to say it again, somebody had a horrible digestive event on a plane and they had to sandblast the plane for six hours. They had to replace the carpet. I mean, they had to replace the carpet on the plane. That's a true story. Can you imagine being on that plane and the poor pilot, and there's an audio recording of the pilot saying, five, seven, one, Delta heavy. We have a biohazard problem on the plane. The biohazard. Ladies and gentlemen, you may want to look over the left side of the aircraft because that's where we're going to be issuing the parachute so that you can get the hell off this thing before we all die. I'd never fly again. That'd be it. That'd be it. And speaking of flying, didn't you do it yet? Are you in New York yet? Today? No, after the show today, I'm headed to New York where it's going to be 110 degrees. You know, Texas heat is one thing. New York City heat is ghastly because there's no breeze. You're walking up and down. So we're going to see the Eagles in concert tomorrow night. I'm going to see a couple of shows. We've got some meetings. I'm going to go to Philly for a big event. Oh, cool. With Chris Stiegel. Is that our guy? Chris Stiegel and Dennis Prager and Pastor Robert Jeffers from your neck of the woods. That's right. That's so cool. I have a question for you. It's called, for a moment, welcome to Mike's Entertainment Options or Mike's Travel Habits. As we have noted, you are fresh back from the UK. I trust you had a magnificent time. So Mike's on the ground in England for 24 hours, sends me a picture off of his balcony. Was that a CG? Was that a green screen? Because from your balcony, it's like, oh, there's the London Eye, oh, there's Westminster Abbey. Where were you? Well, there's a story behind that. I'm a little reluctant to tell the story. Joey and Peg are my dear friends. Joey's a little more frugal than I am. And he found a hotel. And I'll go ahead and say it. It was a nice Marriott right on the River Thames, right outside that giant monstrosity eye thing. That Ferris wheel. It's a massive Ferris wheel. It's gross. I mean, I think about the River Thames and I think of Mary Poppins floating gently. Big Ben and all these beautiful, and then there's this monstrosity, and Brits don't like it either. Everybody kind of, it's a cool tourist thing and you go up and it's one of those giant Ferris wheels. Anyway, the hotel, this Marriott is right at the Ferris wheel. So not only is the infernal thing beeping every time it moves, and so you hear the beeping in your room, but like you saw, you're right there. I mean, the view is crazy, but not only that, but the deal breaker for me, the AC wasn't so good. Is England like Laguna Beach, California, where we stayed at a beautiful place and it happened to be 82 and they didn't have any AC? I thought I was going to die. Well, you know, again, the UK, they're not really like AC -oriented like we are. They have it, but I said, that's it, I'm out, King Tut needs some AC, I got to have air conditioning. And it wasn't even hot over there, but at night, I don't know, I mean, God forbid if the day ever comes where they yank the rug out from under me and I'm, you know, singing show tunes at a cheeseburger joint on the weekends and I can't afford an air conditioner because I got to have an air conditioner. Anyway, I knew of a place, a much nicer hotel, so we actually checked out. That was a one -day gig, but it was spectacular visuals. And speaking of show tunes, that leads me to my actual really quick question because there is stuff going on in the world. So you sent me, as you always do and I love it so much, it's like, hey, look where I am, hey, look where I am. And on at least a couple of occasions, you were in the front row, shocker, of this magnificent show. I guess it's called Tina or somebody is Tina Turner and wow, was she good. Wow, was she good. It's actually a Broadway show that also went to the West End and there was, I saw a woman named Adrian Warren who played the show, played the part, but yeah, it's a musical about the life of Tina Turner. And on another night you went and saw Les Mis. The best production of Les Mis I've ever seen in the history of going to the theater. I bet it was great. But here's my question and here's where you and I are a smidge different. Okay. You're in London and you go to Broadway for lunch like every day. So there's a whole country outside this theater as you sit in a seat and see something that is admittedly fantastic, but that you could see at some other time a hundred yards from where you're staying. But the West End is London's version of Broadway and they do theater a little bit differently. First of all, I mean, the ticket prices are even more affordable. You know, you sit in the stalls over there. They don't call them seats.

"We are representing a second whistleblower from the FBI, Marcus Allen. Due to whistleblower retaliation by the FBI, I've been suspended without pay for over a year. Because of you, ACLJ donors, you get the best attorneys in the world. Yes, I am a pirate, 200 years too late. The cannons dump thunder, there's nothing to plug. Before Margaritaville, before cheeseburgers in paradise. Here are four or five Jimmy Buffett albums before the guy even became big. This is from A1A, a reference to the coastal Florida highway, and a pirate looks at 40. This came out when Mike Gallagher was walking around being 14 years old. But world traveler Mike is back and it's so good to see you. How are you doing? How was the trip? How are things? It was great. It's so great to be back. First of all, quick note about Jimmy Buffett. I love how you're a Jimmy Buffett purist. I just love that. Everybody else is playing cheeseburger in paradise and you're like, no, no, no. But he's way deeper and broader than that. And you're so right. You're so right. That guy brought so much joy to so many people over the years. What a life, what a legacy, and his music will live on. But it is absolutely wonderful to be back, to hear your voice and to see your smiling face again. We had a great trip to London. I come back. I mean, but I, you listen, I cannot disconnect and I've got like 20 shows in my head. I'm doing shows in the London tube. I'm practicing what I'm going to say because it dawned on me. I am needed right now. I am on the way. I mean, I woke up this morning. I turned on the radio. I heard somebody say there's no way Trump can win. He just can't win. He cannot win. And I'm thinking, boy, I got, I got to get back to work. I mean, I don't know. You're sitting here doing show material on the tube. I can just imagine somebody just trying to get to work there in London. Oh, is that guy talking about? He keeps going on about Trump and Biden. I don't even know what's going on. Who is he? Who is he? Only thing missing was the tinfoil, you know, the tinfoil on my head. But there's so much craziness going on and people making assertions. And you've been so good about how the cautiousness of, we don't know. We got to let the voters start voting. Please, Iowa, get here already. You know, South Carolina, get here already. Let's see what this, how this, how things are going to, are going to unfold. But now they're trotting out the 14th amendment for Trump. Yes. Let's cover this for everybody, because if you can't erode his poll numbers, if you can't prosecute him out into the back 40 and make him go away, you try to take steps to keep him off the ballot. There is nothing they won't try. There is nothing. I mean, and I don't even want to go here and stop me if you think it's a bad idea to even bring this up, but people are now suggesting openly there's one, there's going to be only one thing left for them to do to this guy. And I don't want to say it on the air. I have a responsibility. You have a responsibility, but we also reflect what people are talking about. And it's being said on social media. I mean, I don't even want to use the word. Well, you know, who started this. If you're going where I think you're going, that would be Tucker. Tucker in an amazing couple of segments with Adam Corolla, I believe. Yep. I mean, I'll, I'll carry the, I'll do the heavy lifting if you want to. The only thing left is to assassinate him. I hate to even say those.

And when he's much older is going gonna be hard to do. Twenty years because it'd be crimes violence but that boston point shaving scandal though. I've heard of that and really know anything about it. I guess it's in in rails. Books elected This was a game back in boston. We're boston college is was conceived by a guy named rocco perla and his brother anthony who were bookies and gamblers. They lived in pittsburgh pennsylvania. They recruited a high school friend of their name. Rick kuhn was entering his senior year at boston college and was a great basketball player neighbor. Their team as the eagles coon after approach coon. He agreed to try to hold a score within the point. Spread or go outside. The point spreads easier to hold it within the published point spread on certain games to for example. Then the first time. If boston college was an eight point favorite they give him twenty five dollars if the boston. College eagles run by less than eight points and they put all her money down on the other team. Was that mixed up. Some not gotta keep trying to go into what that means you guys are gambled understand the point system. Somebody gives you points in what you gotta do to win and lose. I'll leave that for you to figure out you know better than i do. Once rocko and tony perla got this deal set up with koon and felt like they had an edge. They set up a betting syndicate to get a lot more money to go down and that's where they ended up getting directed to henry hill. Somehow but they did. They were trying to connect with the mob and he was a guy that they got sent to because he was with lucchese family he took him to burke henry hill and gotta do something like this on his own and burke got kinda got the money and access to more money so jimmy burke agreed front the money to pay off the players each week and he would set up a string of bookies to take this different action from different people and get people that would keep their mouth shut because once people got onto this is gonna start screwing up the point spread.

There's a man with the banana family. capito named vinny isauro and he was owed money from the robbery also. I don't know if he got his or not for sure. Kind of most famously. After the robbery wind down we really know about is jimmy. Burke became more more paranoid and he kind of wanted to cut people out of their share but one version. He didn't murder was his elder son. Frank james burke aid been on with and got gotta be seven just for sitting out there in a crash car and as you know the film depicts henry hill. Not even going on this robbery and these book in and never claim to go on it. Now gimme burke son frank. James burke will be murdered years later and may in nineteen eighty. Seven cops responded to shooting in brooklyn and they found frank. James burke body with multiple gunshot wounds a said shortly after this a drug dealer named toyoto ortiz got arrested and convicted of this murder. I guess if i remember right he had some cocaine and he'd cut it way down so really wasn't anything left to it. He was just trying to hustle. This other probably puerto rican drug dinner. Dotty can get away with it. I guess he got he found out. You better be careful you mess with the bull. You get the horn. sometimes. I don't know there's ortiz guy or ot's or anything about him. But i got a feeling what anybody mess with. Paul vario was never charged with the live don's a heist but ends up in penitentiary for another racketeering charge. Three people in that deal henry hill and to jfk. Airport employs go into witness protection. That was louis over and peter. Grunwald unlike goes on german boone group working there anyhow. I guess i'm not really go into the details of the heist other and they had inside. Information took as much five million dollars in cash and jewelry and near.

"They're main thing. His crew was robbing trucks delivering goods over the years and they had informed inside the jfk freight yards and other freight hauling businesses in the area and get another truck drivers. I think henry hill reported whenever they stopped a truck driver and actually hijack the truck at gunpoint. Jimmy burke always gave him dude fifty dollar tip. Even though they weren't really part of the robbery brother that he got been part of the robbery and set it up. They bright on a little more money in fifty bucks give him fifty large and act real gentlemanly to and that's how i got the nickname jimmy. The chance as my understanding is which is stuck a lot better than being the irish beginning that insane to stick. This was during the time. When merck and henry hill gotten a drug business. The lucozzi family. who were there sponsors. Paul vario was in the lucchese family. He sponsored them and they really banned their members from narcotics trafficking because as usual all the government attention on that draconian. Sentencing will as we used to say you take a guy thirty four years old and giving him fifty years in penitentiary in his coke dealer. Not like a real hard case. Many times says out his own mother looking at life basically in the penitentiary and and being entered into a world that hate really no. I mean as kobe dealers kind of like white collar crime. People never really been in with that down and dirty for the most part. Jimmy's jin henry. He'll they deal with the penitentiary and they'd prove they could but henry hill will also prove out. That concern was a legitimate concern that the mob had because when he faces huge long sins for cocaine trafficking we all know what happened with henry hill and the famous lufthansa highs. We've gotta talk about that and we're gonna talk about jimmy. Jen happened on december the eleventh nineteen seventy eight most famous crime ever in some ways lou. Casey family through paul vario granted him permission to do this. Because this was actually on bonanno family territory. Show say they claim the rights to all criminal activity inside the airport and they also obtained permission from the gambino family and they wanted to cut it to. They weren't taking any chances on stepping on anybody's toes. I guess they all kind of wanted some rights to anything that came out of. Jfk was a lot of stuff that came out of jfk over the years so they did the robbery as we kind of know that they had some inside help and they went in there with guns and they knew the rounds of the garbage response time and and is really well planned. Well said app at large crew. Jimmy burke even took his son along as a crash driver of if somebody's dr chased him. He was out there with the vehicle. It would run ever accident if they do.

Even new there in a fight had kind of a reputation for being wild. He'd wacky buddy was polite on the other hand so he wouldn't that irish charm more than likely during this time he started building up. A small crew of trusted thieves and henry hill was on them. I'm not sure exactly where they met. Probably the penitentiary during the nineteen sixties. Jimmy burke married a woman named mickey and in one of the more well known stories that illustrate burke temperament was about a former boyfriend making had been bothering her.

"Some shows with them. And the i was friday on. I spend so much of my time and energy on my own podcast and my documentary films. That were not do guest appearance. They all seem to run together. I forgot i'd even done this. And it was released recently. Got a message from war tapper. Actually from down in australia all places who tells me they heard on another podcast token amount friday yano psycho man. I forgot all about that. So is finally released. I said oh. Pump them up a little bit not that they needed a huge big company. gimblett. Or somebody like that when the big podcasting company so they got a big budget as you tell what you listen to it but you get you get my take on things here and for me. That's that's what distinguishes me from from those guys but then how you can listen to wire the wire wire you can listen to the mafia on any of the podcast apps. Now for folks don't know we'll give you just kind of an overview of James alidina jimmy. The weasel prodi yano jimmy. The weasel got his nickname after a policeman was chasing him through market when he was a kid he said look at. Ken runs like a weasel He was born in naples italy. His family immigrated when he was a child on right after turn-of-the-century in the early nineteen hundreds. They settled in cleveland He started out as usual as all of them. Do a small time thief graduated. Robbery was kind of associated around with the cleveland mob. Because he was. Italian lived in an italian neighborhood after a stretch in the joint. I think for a robbery when which he didn't expect it was a businessman. He didn't expect this guy to testify against him but he did when he got out. A council was older my guys and and he decided he would move to california. This is about the end of world war two shortly after he got out there. He had some bona days as they call them from cleveland. Mickey cohen recruited him to help with his and loansharking operation. He did some of that but never really was exactly like a member of anybody's organization when he first got out there but the italian family the sicilian family out there did notice him of course and end up making his bones when they killed the two tonys from kansas city who had robbed some ma protected games. So i'm gonna do that. Talk more about that. In a bonus episode he was moving up the ranks in the southern california mob. He moved north was kind of associated with san francisco family. And you know this guy was kind of all over. The place is a little bit like Oh who's the guy from like a not hyphen by johnny rosselli. And he. but he had connections all over the world. he got some connections with the australian crime. Families down there doing business with them. And and he got involved in trucking business and transport business and somebody on the Dockworkers union in san francisco which was able to facilitate different kinds of smuggling operations and actually finally at one time. He was named the underboss of the southern california family with tom. Dragnet being the boss now right after he'd named him. I think they say friday yano thought maybe they named him because they want his help in killing his old friend. Frank the bump bump and ciero He didn't wanna do it. And he basically refused or didn't respond to the request to help. Kill the bob. This had raised raga. Who accused him of trying to start his own california family and ended up putting hit on motor him to be murdered about the same time. Mrs back in the seventies. I guess our early eighties but at the same time an old california associate who is now in cleveland name. Rafer rito was being charged with the famous murder of the irish labor racketeer. Danny green The feds turn frito. And he named friday as a co-conspirator these things a contract for murder on him from dragnet and the murder conspiracy charges brought by the feds. Talk about a of stick They brought him into the witness protection program and he became one of the more famous mob. Witnesses throughout the united states. He he because he had so many connections he was testifying all over the place and that i don't know four or five years maybe for all his past crimes got killed a bunch of people to as like sammy the bulls doing right now. They're making podcast. No telling what all in you know. Kill like twenty three guys. I don't know how many killed a bunch of guys anyhow. So as i was bony nap on the weasel study nap on jimmy. The weasel to be on me. An expert on the mafia podcast. I discovered a guy who had been his civil attorney for business matters especially when he had a trucking company that was pretty successful and he wanted to file a civil lawsuit against somebody You'll hear more about that. I searched around. Found this guy at home on his retirement ranch in montana and he agreed to talk about his time with jimmy. The weasel and what makes this an even more insightful. Talk information this guy is that he and friday on cape friends got to know each other under social level after jimmy went into witness protection so for a different view and look at one of the most famous mobsters ever to go into witness protection program and one of the most productive for the government. I would say listen to my interview of Jimmy friday on friend and business attorney dennis macdonald. So tell tell me. Tell me about your when he first came into your office that day. First of all. I should tell you that I represented Jimmy fatty onnell for over. Twenty years I first met him. He was referred to me by another long time Client and A person that i didn't know at that time. But he was kind of Jimmy's goal or if you will on day trucking company in hayward california and i represented him on business matters for years he when he furred Jimmy to me. And jimmy came in and wanted to commence a defamation lawsuit against bob guccione and penthouse magazine written beecher article suggesting that jimmy was a infamous hitman responsible for Multiple gang-land Swings the at the time jimmy had never been Arrested had not been charged With any murder or any violent crime. Other than i think he an assault charge in his Background but that was that was about it. We commenced that Litigation and ultimately s settled it with a penthouse magazine and bob guccione. The interesting part of that is is afterwards. I ended up representing mr guccione and an effort that he was making to acquire a gaming licence in the state of about which had been denied to him previously. What might that much about. Nineteen seventy or six of my right in there. They have this check at date but That's my recollection. Okay so Then after you settled you maintain the relationship with with jimmy. Is that correct. But that is jimmy was a Just an odd person. And i say that and i'll describe it to you. I think you find that many f. b. i. agents that Taught him to be similar to what. I'm about to describe first of all it was. It was very bright. Had a just a incredible Memory very good at that numbers From probably for making book since she was a teenager actually an excellent chess player. I'll come back to that part of the story later. In addition to the characteristics. I've i mentioned he had a great sense humor And he could tell stories and all of this be Laughing and enjoying the story and then afterwards you would realize he just told a story about Some terrible activity that he was involved it. He was so charismatic that he could Calbos kind of stories and Decent good people would find themselves least initially Enjoying this story and and laughing until maybe later as was my experience you realize woody was telling you which was a poor during this time supposedly. I think there's fbi report. Tony squadra made him an offer of at least ten thousand dollars or more to keep quiet about him and and the fbi report says that he contacted a lawyer. Jimmy contacted lawyer about that advised. Him not have anything to do was blood. Troas was anything to do with you. Do you remember that. I do remember that. And i you see what that dot came a bit later. to fill in the the story In about nineteen ninety It became apparent after offense. Heroes killing in Los angeles the powers to be in the los angeles family wanted Jimmy get and jimmy became aware of that and came out with the number of plans to deal with it. All of which. I told him was Crazy jimmy was getting up in age at the time I finally told jimmy that it was time for him to live the last part of his life in peace and to come to terms with much of his background. I mentioned Early jimmy was an excellent chess player. It was at the house he would. He would come to my home early frequently. He loved to cook with t. Came a couple of occasions they could Banks giving dinner for my family and and and but one ninety was He was air And Because he had been charged in the chiro swang and needed wanted me to represent him in that case and needed to get from.

"Fast kid. Five o'clock where a good so as you've probably already guessed from listening to the song it's five o'clock somewhere and what it's obviously referencing. That are singer is suffering from disgruntle. Metria i know. It's really a shame. Which obviously we all know is the inability to distinguish the passage of time. And so for jimmy. it's he doesn't. It's five o'clock anytime anywhere. He just doesn't know five. It's four it was too now it's ten. He can't tell anymore i know. That's a rough. Yeah you've painted a rough picture for sure. Say that almost sap some of the fun and whimsy out of the song. I mean especially when you can say to member of plates and flip flops and t shirts and wind chimes and christmas ornaments and all manner of things that wall clocks. Let's say five o'clock somewhere on them. Well i mean it's even sadder if you think about that. It's usually the result of like some sort of trauma to the sara bellum so like what kind of history does jimmy have that he can no longer tell what time it is or how long it's passer. Perhaps this was from a stroke or a seizure of some sore. I know we have to consider all this in the differential. We really aren't given enough information to make a firm diagnosis. So i'm just doing the best i can. In addition to the inability to mark the passage of ours and therefore tell time effectively. If you have this disorder you're also gonna have issues with space spacial recognition and with short term memory. And i really think that if you if you're familiar with more songs from jimmy buffet. This is all starting to come together. There are other songs called things like. Who's the blonde stranger. I heard i was in town. If the phone doesn't ring it's me. I used to have money one time. Nobody from nowhere. She's going out of my mind. That's rough and where's the party. Where is the party. can't find it. Everybody celebrates the song. And i just. It's hard for me. It's hard for me to understand fried it too too awfully depressing. Thank you folks for enjoying with us. The million some cheeseburgers plant us alison cheeseburger. I thought we get to the fast part. I'll share together. We're so happy that we got to sit here. And just kind of goof around and stare the music attorney bunker with you.

"This is very early. It's like for record. i think. Sometimes he likes smoking marijuana. No at the world now you. You aren't saying this is a song about smoking. Marijuana are you sitting. Well i mean when you hear mile high in denver the first thing you think of is of course altitude sickness. So we've all been there right. I mean you've got like what kind of symptoms is he talking about. He's a mile hind denver. I'm gonna assume since he's still singing that we're probably dealing with like acute mountain sickness so like he's busy. He's got some headaches. Maybe some trouble sleeping. He could be vomiting. I don't know he doesn't say that do you think do you think he's vomiting. How much have you thought about whether or not. Jimmy buffett is vomiting. When he thinks these you know said straight never crossed my mind. Actually if you can believe that or not never crossed my mind. He talks about admiring the scenery. And things like that. That you probably wouldn't feel like doing if you develop a further stage of altitude sickness like high altitude pulmonary dima. I mean with that much fluid in your lungs. You're not gonna be admiring the scenery right. So probably not that or high altitude cerebral dima where you get swelling in your brain which i mean maybe you admired the scenery before you fell asleep. I'm not enjoying this. I thought i would said either way. He could have prevented this if he had just ascended more slowly. You don't have to get altitude sickness. So obviously he just. I mean he probably flew there right. It was like a gig. You probably just send it to quickly and the best thing. Because now he has less oxygen available at the higher altitudes white sick. So the best thing for jimmy to do at this point i would say is to descend go to a lower elevation. Four thousand feet high in denver doesn't really have the same ring to it though. I don't know if he has dia mocks available. Which is a medication. You can take to help with altitude sickness. it doesn't always prevent it but it can a lot of grey rhymes there with with dia. Vox i just think it's cool. Diamox is.

"You're gonna feel so bad when i tell you all that. I am concerned that this sports singer has dyscalculia. This is a condition that affects about three to six percent of the population. It involves some sort of dysfunction in the interpreter. Focus of the brain and it makes math very difficult so now don't you all feel bad. Don't seem to be feeling bad. Said it can resolve as we age. We see it. We diagnose it more in kids and sometimes it goes away but in some adults persists. And i guess for poor jimmy buffett. Math is continued to suck for him and his experience of math. Anyway has been hard ever since. It's interesting because we're still not sure. It might have something to do with the like how we actually like make concrete numeric characters and patients who have it can actually still do conceptual math without like an actual number. I think that's fascinating. And jimmy buffett wrote this song in his sixties. I very much enjoy someone who gets to sixty. They're like you know what. I still don't like math. I didn't like it earlier. I don't like it now. I'm going to write a song about that. Because i still don't like it and i've given it a big opportunity it's decades. I don't like math. Here's a song about it. Well but i think it's fascinating to think that it's not that he doesn't like concrete. Math are not that he doesn't like math. It's conceptual math. Might work for him. We just haven't found the right way to teach jimmy.

"It all right all right so this pirate is looking at forty and already tell. I don't like this. I'm thirty nine years old. And i don't like what you're about to do already with my heart and my mind. I have a pass. Is there one pass where i can hit a buzzer and say no jammies and we skip one. Is that ability. Has there ever been on saba. Never so i can only assume that as this pirate looks forward at forty. He's thinking about his preventive health care. And what kind of screening tests he might need and what he might need to talk with his primary care physician about his upcoming. Well check right. That's what we all think about right. That's normal and so. I just went ahead and looked up some recommendations for jimmy buffett. I assume that the this is a male just because jimmy buffett singing song. And there's some questions if you're going to look at like the. Us preventative services task force recommendations for how screening there a couple of questions so male pirate looking at forty for a pirate looking at forty tobacco. User i went ahead and plugged in. Yes i feel like a lot of pirates. Probably smoke right. Probably say something. The other question is sexually active definitely plugged in. Yes for that for sure. Okay so i apologize for the pirate assumptions. If you if you're pirate. And i got that wrong i apologize. I shouldn't make sweeping generalizations so for this pirate who's looking at forty. We're going to definitely want to check a blood pressure and discuss you know regular monitoring of your blood pressure there also some screening tests. We need to screen for hiv for syphilis. We definitely need to talk about tobacco cessation. I know that's hard. It's a pirate lifestyle. Probably all your buddies are smoking too. But it's not good for you. It's worth the effort. Scurvy is actually not in the preventive services task force gregory. I know that seems. There's nice greedy tetris curvy. Although certainly if my patient was a pirate i would bring it up. That's where we got great a evidence now as we go ahead and include some of the great be recommendations because we like to do things that are evidence based and we may as well expand to the evidence. It's not quite as strong as great. Abe is still pretty good. It's great be so. We're going to screen for for depression for diabetes. We're going to talk about unhealthy alcohol use. I have to assume this is an issue. Could be he's a pirate. Remember and we're going to talk about some like healthy exercise nutrition definitely getting plenty of vitamin c. Because we are a pirate safe sex and maybe we need to start some sort of cholesterol lowering.

I can't believe that it was it was had long ago. What do you remember about that time specifically the the time on the show short time on the okay. Let's go down and that whole era the time on the show. I'm on the show was special because it was everything was also new in terms of a different level in this business a different playing fields and and i really lucked out on so many levels. The relationship that i had developed with the producer creator of that particular show steven bochco lasted for many years. Afterwards and you know manifested itself in beautiful kinds of ways It's probably one of these talking to you right now. A because of that relationship but it just looked out in terms of the what the meaning of ensemble is that group because it was a big group of really talented actors. A lot of them having now the roots in the theater. And i think that a lot to do with the way we kind of vied with each other you know and hey you know you know because you've been situation window went when when the vibe is good it creates a good work exactly and then there's magic them knowing. You're you know one of the spokes in particular wheel and knowing that on a particular day i would just be particular episode i would just. The thing was about holding the door open for harry. Hamlin or blair underwood's corbin birds says character but that the next episode. I was gonna have a swimming really strong courtroom case because it was about lawyers in los angeles right. Great show great cast. Who has you rattle off the names right there. You are also great man on dexter. That was a lot of fun. How'd you like I do like working on. that show. must've been was the a lot of fun completely. Different obviously from allah. That was great because it was it was switching it up and what people had perceived. Tv's very fluid kind of thing. So you become if you're gonna show you're lucky enough to be in a show six seven years and there's a perception of what the character is but what you know your your essence bleeding through so much more so with a nice way to kind of switch it up and that was a wonderful cast as well.

"The patriots are interested are other teams a threat to new england. I think there's a chance. I do think there's a chance that team like new orleans. Even though i don't. I don't think there are serious threat at the end of the day. Not only what. They've invested in the quarterback position but and and people say you know people like fell. Say i'll forget the salary cap. This is really a time when they've they've just their leverage to the hill as far as salary cap. There's really no other moves that they can make to get jimmy at close to his current value under that cap. There's just not i i. I don't think there's any chance. I think as far as like real suitors. That could be involved. I think you have to look at the panthers. Because they're they're so desperate for quarterback and now with these trades they might be on the outside. Looking in for a minute greg is. He is jimmy g. An upgrade over teddy bridgewater. Yes okay better. Yeah i mean and trust me. They're done with teddy there. Y- they've seen enough. They saw nothing about midseason. Okay so and plus you have people in that front office. Who have been in new england. Who know jimmy who were around when they drafted him and things like that. So they have intel there on jimmy graham. I think the carolinas the threat. I think that washington is a threat. But i think at the end of the day when you're when you're don yee and you're the agent you have to look at all these scenarios and yes chicago denver Those teams will come up. But when you're done yeah you have to go to jimmy and you have to look at the situations you could. You have to say. Look you're going to be thirty okay. There you're you're next less engineer this. You're only going to get one shot at this okay. Because the the patriots traded you even though that was different circumstances the forty niners said. You're not good enough and work trading three first round picks to get your successor and now if you go to someplace else and it doesn't work then you're screwed. What's the best situation. Chicago pace inegi are closer to getting fired than they are to win the super bowl like this is this. Is it for them if they don't win. Yup they're gone. They almost just got fired vic. Fangio there's a new g. m. george peyton came in denver. If fangio doesn't win this year he's probably not back next year. The washington is a circus all the time. Now if you're looking for stability in terms of You know a place that's going to give you what you need to grow and also stability at the at the coaching position. You have to look at carolina and matt rule. But that's a place that will always be looking for their franchise guy. I'm sure you know tapper that the the the owner is going to be everybody's ear like jimmy's fine and all but we need to get the guy you know that sort of things but to me at the end of the day for jimmy to be successful. It's no contest that it's coming back to new england. With now they have restocked the roster with bella check with mcdaniels where for six glorious quarters. You let.
