"Vox is waiting, though, and the S &P 500 is much smaller. It's only about 310, so... Those are some familiar names that we see moving in the markets. Yeah, you've heard of Amazon, right? I've heard of Amazon. Apple's got this event tomorrow, and I guess Qualcomm chips are now going to be in the phones. Now, are you going to line up for the iPhone? What is it, Apple 15? iPhone 15, yeah. If I can get a chicken sandwich also. For two hours? What's the line for the Apple iPhone? Do people still line up for them? I don't know. No one... I don't think so. I don't know if that's still a thing. I don't know. I was going to make a disparaging comment, but no. Hopefully not there. No disrespect to anyone who would stand out in line for a telephone. All right, let's get the closing bells here. Your numbers here on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Green crosses green with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 80 points, or about a quarter of a percent on the day. The S &P 500 higher by 30 points, or seven -tenths of a percent. The NASDAQ going to finish the day strong, up by about a percent. The S on the back of some pretty big gains by Tesla here on the day, and the Russell 2000 not to be left behind. It is the relative laggard, but still on the green by about two -tenths of a percent. Yeah, if we take a deeper look in the S &P 500, more than 300 stocks moving higher. 302 stocks advancing. Scarlet, 197 of them declining. So Tim, you were asking rhetorically, is it all just Tesla? And when you look at the sector performances, look at that line at the top. That's autos and components. It's got about five members. Three of them are down. Ford, Aptiv, and General Motors. And two of them are higher. Tesla, up by 10%. So that accounts for that group's 8 .3 % jump. Retail is also higher. That would be Amazon. And you can see that you've got, what, five groups gaining at least 1%. On the downside, Energy taking a bit of a breather off a 1 .4%. This is a best performing group over the past three months as oil prices have slowly made their way higher. All right, let's go through some of these gainers. Maybe this will be the last time I mention Tesla in the next few minutes, but I had to put it on the board today. Finishing the day up more than 10%. Adam Jonas over at Morgan Stanley upgrading Tesla, raising his price target to $400 from $250. He says that...

Fresh update on "jonas" discussed on The Defiant - DeFi Podcast
"Eric Marks is the Director of Product for Permissionless Innovation at Metamask. Metamask, the popular non-custodial wallet owned by ConsenSys, has been in the spotlight following the launch of Snaps on Open Beta. You can think of Snaps as plugins that allow developers to add new and different apps and experiences on top of Metamask itself. One of the biggest implications of this is that Snaps will connect Metamask to non-Ethereum chains including Bitcoin and Solana. In our conversation, we'll dive deep into the vision and the broader implications of Snaps. But first, Eric will go over the basics of this new product. Snaps is very near and dear to my heart. I've spent most of my time at Metamask, which is over five years now, working on it in some capacity, very intently over the last few years. Snaps is, as you said, a way of modifying or extending Metamask at runtime. Because obviously Metamask originally was built as an Ethereum account manager and Snaps is our way of letting users both customize their experience of using their wallet and adding functionality to it that we ourselves either don't want to or aren't the best people to build into our wallet, build into the wallet ourselves. What sort of applications you think are the most suited for this type of product? What kind of things are you expecting will be added? So we have long term, we have great ambitions for Snaps as a platform. And just so we're on the same page about terminology there. So Metamask Snaps is the name of the system itself. And then an individual like application or modification that you install via the system is just called a snap. And so right now we're calling this so we have been in a developer release for quite some time. And so last week, we launched what we're calling Snaps open beta into with the regular Metamask extension, what we call our staple release channel. And in this first sort of public launch, or general audience launch of Snaps, we're focusing on three different use cases, interoperability, notifications, and transaction insights. And so interoperability is basically, you know, when you hear that think multi chain, essentially. So that's stuff, you know, we have Snaps that add support for Bitcoin, Solana, and other layer ones into the wallet via the API is exposed for interoperability feature. And then for notifications, you have, you know, Snaps can use them for a variety of different reasons. For example, an interoperability snap could use it to notify the user when a transaction is completed. But our ambition there is to have stuff like ENS, renewal reminders, and notifications about on chain events, or whatever else that a snap might want to tell their users about. Then finally, transaction insights is one that is very applicable for are currently most applicable for existing Ethereum users. So most of Metamask user base. And we've seen over the past several months to a year, a proliferation of different solutions for, you know, security solutions for understanding whether a transaction or signature is safe. And so this API, basically let it lets a snap hook into Metamask existing transaction flow, read the unsigned transaction data, and then let tell the user what it thinks of it. So and mostly, these are at the moment, security related, so that like, you know, if you're transacting with a known malicious address, or something like that, or if the snap finds it the transaction suspicious for whatever reason, then it can show a warning to the user. Very good. I mean, three super powerful use cases for Metamask for sure, before we kind of dive deeper on those, how does building a snap work? Like, is it totally? Is it like an open API? Is it open source? Or do you have to, like, I don't know, get some sort of partnership with consensus to do it? Like, what what does the process look like for a developer, right? So our long term ambition for the system is to make it completely open and permissionless, meaning anyone can develop a snap and publish it, and users will immediately be able to install it in the wallet. That is already the case in our developer channel at Metamask flask, where we have snaps available, both in the extension and mobile, the open beta for the general audience channel is only on the extension for now. But mobile is mobile is coming. And so the process though, in order to get into the so anyone can develop a snap and all of the documentation and the code of the platform is self is, is open source, you can go and read the source on GitHub. And you essentially you write a JavaScript program, it can also contain WebAssembly. And of course, you can use TypeScript, JavaScript, whatever your general your regular, sort of compile that or you bundle that as like a single JavaScript file and publish it to NPM. And then metamask is able to fetch that package at runtime, and then sort of install it into into the wallet, and then it's available to use. And so for the because this thing is, you know, you know, we're essentially turning metamask into an application platform of sorts, right. And so it's new for us, and it's new for our users. And so making sure that like every our users are able to safely use and install snaps that can be published by anyone, you know, is a difficult problem to solve and one that we're currently working on. And so for the first but for the first iterations of the current release in the stable channel, we do have an allow list. And you have to basically come and talk to us in order to get onto that allow list and meet certain criteria, such as having a security audit and, you know, a use case that we think will add value. And our right now, like the thing that we're, you know, working on, you know, more intensely than ever now that the system is released is to remove ourselves from the equation and let the sort of ecosystem decide what is a useful snap and what is a safe and secure snap. Right now for when you are maintaining this allow list, what are the things that you're looking at? So the main things there are, you know, first of all, that it's a use case that we think will add value to our users, because, you know, one of the reasons there are several reasons that we don't want to become an app store and have us be, you know, the approver, the approvers, the gatekeepers of who gets to get into the snaps ecosystem. You know, that's, you know, I'm the my part of MetaMask is called permissionless innovation for a reason we wanted to be permissionless. But so the the first thing is that, you know, it's it has like it's a valuable use case because we have limited capacity, though we don't we're not totally sure what the limit is. But maintaining a centralized allow list, there's only so many snaps that we'll be able to support, just like logistically. And then secondly, we want them to be secure, so essentially useful and secure. And the security piece, you know, require we have a list of reputable auditors that are, you know, have done various work already in the web three space. And, you know, the snap developer teams have to go and engage one of these auditors, get an audit report, share it with us. And they also have to share their response and sort of convince us that, you know, they've worked with this auditor to address all of their concerns. So usefulness and security slash safety are the two main things. And when you remove yourselves, how will you continue to ensure that snaps created are useful and secure? Or will that not be a priority then? So we are trying to create tools to let the user like establish trust in a snap in a decentralized and permissionless way. And so we are working with a couple of different with different teams, you know, both like within consensus, and in the web three ecosystem, to figure out how to let the user essentially build their own trust graph, so that you in order to establish whether something is safe and useful or not. And so, for example, if, you know, we want to get to a point in the future where a user can ask the question, you know, which snaps are recommended by Dan Finley, or Kamala Russo or Vitalik, and then from there, sort of, like, basically look at like, who, which snaps are recommended and used by their friends and people that they trust in the ecosystem, and look at sort of reviews and all. And, you know, if they're technical, they can even look at audit reports for different snaps, and then sort of in that way, establish whether they want to use a particular snap or not, maybe there will be some spam or less useful and less secure snaps being built. But by that time, hopefully, there will be a robust enough network and like recommendations and ratings on these snaps, that you will be trusting the user to make kind of the right call. Yes, exactly. Yes. Yeah. And that's like what the, you know, and so that web of trust, like all that infrastructure, it doesn't exist yet. And so the allow list is basically, we're just buying ourselves time in order to because we felt that the platform is already in a state where it is, where it can be useful, and people can get something out of it. And so obviously, you know, there are a variety of reasons why you want to ship something that is ready to ship as soon as possible. And so we felt that it was ready to go. But the decentralized sort of permission, the permissionless distribution, as we call it, all that web of trust stuff isn't ready quite yet. And so while we're working on that, you know, we have this select set currently 34 snaps available in production. And we just learned from that and work with our users to, you know, start it, start the process of iterating on all the different features that the platform has to offer. And then as soon as the permissionless distribution component is ready, then we'll be able to make that available to all of our users and it can be ready for users to safely engage with all of these with this permissionless ecosystem. So here's something new, bumper your assets to defend them from price drops without losing upside exposure. You set a price floor and term length, then lock your tokens into the protocol. When your term ends, if the price has fallen under your floor, you leave with stable coins at the floor's value. Otherwise, you just take back your original asset. Bumper is going live in August, and it's one of the most innovative DeFi protocols for hedging being built right now. So check out bumper.fi. There's links in the description of this video. Now back to our story. You said Metamask is becoming this, what was your wording, like application? An application platform, yeah. Is that kind of analogous to like Apple's like, I don't know, OS? Like, is that what the where you're heading? Yeah. So it's we've been joking ever since we started thinking about this. We've sort of have had internal jokes of like, Metamask operating system when and it's, you know, and we are, you know, in reality, we are, you know, Metamask is, you know, not an operating system in a traditional sense, we're at a, you know, higher layer of abstraction. And we don't directly interface with hardware, like memory management or, or any of any of those things traditionally handled by operating systems. But with the introduction of Snaps, we are making ourselves we have a lot of the same responsibilities as an operating system in terms of managing mutually distrusting programs, interacting with each other and interacting with our APIs and making sure that, you know, they get the sort of resources that they need in order to function. And so, you know, I wouldn't say that we're moving like in the direction of like an Apple or a Microsoft in terms of their operating systems. But we think that, you know, that end user applications today are in a sense like they're very what shall we like curated is not is not the right word, but they're sort of dictated by the developer, and they don't leave a lot of room for the user to customize what they're doing. And as part of the Snaps launch, I wrote a blog post called Permissionless Innovation in You. And so Permissionless Innovation is a term that has, you know, a history. It was originally introduced as like this idea about how, you know, innovation or tech should be regulated. Essentially, when we talk about Permissionless Innovation, we just mean that like anyone like in the Web3 ecosystem, any metamask user and adapt developer should be able to build and distribute whatever functionality they want without having to go through a centralized gatekeeper. And because like all of these, you know, the sort of irony of the current situation is that we have these, you know, extremely powerful devices like in our hands, in our homes that can do and represent basically anything. But the experiences that we have on them, like the end user applications, are dictated by forces that are, you know, far larger than ourselves and completely outside of our control. And we are trying to, you know, one of our goals with Snaps and with our Permissionless Innovation strategy is to give users and developers more control over what they build, what they do and how they experience their their applications. OK, that's interesting. Can you can you bring that kind of down to earth a little bit for me? The concept is interesting, you know, saying that how apps are developed today to you, they're being more dictated than than I don't know, like coming directly from from users that there's not a lot of opportunity to curate and customize. But I mean, isn't it still the case that developers can can still kind of build whatever they want and they are taking feedback from users to do that? So it's like users still have some say. I mean, they can they can influence what gets built because it's like developers are trying to build things that will be useful. So they're they're kind of listening to what, you know, whatever gap in the market there is to build that or like what what exactly do you mean by this concept that, you know, things are dictated and you want things to be like more permissionless? Sure. I'll I'll give you an example of that. So the like recently I was a B tested in one of the applications that I use daily. It's a a music player or music streaming service that will not be named. And in this. So a B testing, for those of you who are not aware, is a super common practice in product management and software development. Basically, you have your application, you have your users, you give some users experience a and you give some users experience B, and then you see how they perform. And so in this application, the A beats, I was ended up in some user cohort where the homepage of the application started automatically playing music, sort of in a way that was like reminiscent of like the dot com era Internet. And when this happened to me, I found it like I found it extremely frustrating and irritating. And I was like a means of aggressively like hitting my phone, trying to, you know, get it to switch away from the homepage view. And so that, you know, the the the application developer is doing that, you know, because they're trying different things, figuring out what works, figuring what users respond well to in order to, you know, provide a better experience for their for their users, generally speaking. Right. But but I, as a user of that application, which has, you know, millions and millions of users, I have very little a bit little to no ability to you know, I can't opt in or opt out of being A B tested. I can't even if I complained about being A B tested or complained about the feature, like my individual voice is not really going to change anything about my experience at using the application, because again, like they have millions of users. And so my like me as an individual, opting, like opting out of using the application entirely won't written won't materially affect the company's bottom line. I don't have a big social media following. So I can't create like a, you know, some kind of social media mob to generate a bunch of negative engagement that they'll take into account when making their decisions. And it's like, you know, the the device that I hold in my hand is like, you know, my property and in my in my control, but the things that are being fed to me through it are, you know, I have no direct say or ability to influence what it's doing or what it's or what it's saying to me. And so in the way, obviously, that that commercial entities, you know, try to optimize their their software, it is, you know, it's it's ultimately about creating something that works for their business model and creates financial returns for the for the company at some place down the line. That is not the same thing as a the user experience that I want or would be or would be ideal for me. And so we think that the, you know, not just like the we think that the applications that we actually use in our in our day to day lives. And I think this personally can be made more extensible and more and more customizable by the users and give ourselves more control over, you know, what we experience on our on our devices and in applications that we use, you know, for the I mean, hours and hours of of every day taking up an increasingly an increasingly large part of our lives. OK, got it. Yeah, definitely. So you have your phone and you choose which apps to download. But beyond that, you're pretty powerless as a user. Yes, it's like, OK, that the businesses behind those apps will change them and test them and change them again however they want them without taking, you know, individual users opinions into account very much. I mean, yeah, they'll do like these aggregated, you know, testings and and market research. But it's true that it doesn't feel like we as individuals have a lot of agency on what's happening. So how does that change with with like these Metamask based apps? I'll give you a two part answer to that. The first is that obviously, like, you know, we are also a commercial entity and we also have a have a business model and we also need to generate revenue. And AB testing is ubiquitous because it is, you know, it has proven to be an effective way of doing software software development and understanding, you know, what works for the user in the aggregate. What we're hoping to is so, you know, we at Metamask, you know, we do AB testing and we will continue to do AB testing for all of those reasons. At the same time, you know, what you can do with Snaps is, for example, if we go back to the transaction insights feature, currently it's only enabled for Ethereum transactions. But over time, we want to enable it for signatures is sort of the next step. And then going from there, eventually, like any or the vast majority of confirmations that appear inside of Metamask should be customizable by Snaps. And what that will allow the user to do is, you know, if they're like the ideal experience that we're trying to create there is if the user doesn't like something about the defaults that we have inside of the application. Like, for example, if they don't like something about our gas estimation, which is something that we know for a fact that users have had different users have had different issues or concerns with over a Metamask existence, they should be able to like, why? Why can't they just swap that out? And with Snaps, they'll be able to do just that. And we think you can generalize that idea, like ultimately, you know, we'd want to generalize that idea to every single component in the wallet. And, you know, that'll be a long road to get us to that point. But that is the that is the ambition, because like there are defaults and there will always be defaults. But if you want to if you're if you're like, I don't like this particular thing, I would prefer to do this instead. You should be able to make that change to it. OK, I see. I see. So, yeah, it's a it's a much more personalized experience. To applications. Nice. Grow your business with unlimited borderless payment solutions. Leverage one of the world's largest proprietary payment infrastructures available in Europe, Latin, APAC, Africa and the UK. Snaps has been in the works, you said, for for like five years. Yes. Well, it's more I want to say like four and a half. And I can give you I can give you the back the back story there. Oh, I don't like it. Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So so I joined I joined Metamask. I had my five year anniversary at Metamask a few months ago. I joined as an as a software engineering intern in 2018. And then I joined full time in in 2019 after a year. And in early 2019 or so, you know, I think Dan Finley would have to correct me on the precise timeline. But that is when he brought me into a meeting with our friends at Agoric talking about object capabilities, which we were which Dan was interested in for, you know, to create sort of better APIs for DAPPS and ultimately to support runtime modifications, i.e. Snaps inside of Metamask. So the idea came out of Dan sort of trying to solve the problem in 2018 19. The team was very small at the time, less than 15 people or 15 people or less. And it was already at the time sort of impossible to keep up with all of the innovations and things being built inside of Ethereum and this sort of solution that Dan came up with is like, well, if we let developers customize Metamask itself, that is our actually our only hope of supporting all of the different things being built in Ethereum, let alone all of Web3, you know, because there's no way that we as an organization of our size could, you know, build all of these things ourselves. I think it's ultimately like because of how different like these various protocols are, I think it's extremely difficult for an organization of any size to build all of these things like by itself, which is one of it. And so we think that Snaps is ultimately like a more permissionless and scalable model than trying to build like a universal Web3 interface as a single centralized organization. So in any event, like, you know, Dan sort of hatched the idea in early 2019. That's at least when he communicated it to me. And I was immediately I was immediately on board. I thought the idea was super cool. And we built a sort of new permission system in the wallet that could support the different APIs that we wanted to build for Snaps. The successor of that permission system powers the existing Snaps platform and also our existing API that we exposed to Dapps. And we presented this prototype in 2019 at DevCon. We had a sort of big, you know, a bit a talk about it, a bunch of blog posts and stuff. And 2020 was going to be the year when we like built it and shipped it to users. Then things that didn't 2020 didn't go as planned. And it was a it was a really tough year, I think, like in in Web3, generally speaking. And, you know, a tough year for us at MetaMask also. And we basically had to focus on just like the core product and keeping the lights on. And we didn't have time to focus on like these like longer term things. And by the time 2021 came around, you know, things were things were different. We had spent this year just like, you know, we got we got through this like a tough patch and we were still you know, we were generating revenue and our use our user base was growing. And that's the point when I was sort of like, OK, enough farting around. I grabbed like, you know, I basically tapped like two of my colleagues, Mark Stacey and Shane Jonas, that's formed the sort of initial core of the of the Snaps team. And then I worked full time on Snaps from early 2021 until I passed the baton to Christian Montoya in late 2022, when I stepped into my current director of product role. It's interesting that there was this like gap where, you know, you had to put the project on hold because consensus was going through this tough time. And I'm sure a lot of projects in crypto and what you will be able to relate to that right now. You know, there's right now is it's, you know, a tough time in this space. I'm sure a lot of, you know, many projects out there are having to put their plans on hold. So it's I think it's it's inspiring to see that you guys did that and were able to, pull through and ship this successfully, you know, even if it didn't go exactly as planned from the beginning. Yeah, I mean, we've been doing a lot of sort of like thinking back on like the early days and how naive we were about like how long we thought that it was going to take as a, you know, it's sort of a metaphor that we like to use a sort of like, you know, you're like replacing the engine on the plane, like wireless flying and also like kind of falling apart at the same time. And yeah, it was it's been a journey and sort of now we've finally gotten to the starting line in a sense where we actually have this thing out in the wild and we have users and we can engage with them and like start to iterate on what we've built and move it towards this, you know, permissionless vision that we have for the system. Very cool. And then as for the interface, because, OK, if like the genesis of of Synapse came about because of this insight that it's just going to be impossible to keep up with all the innovation that's happening on in Ethereum and Web3. So, you know, let's, you know, people build directly on on Metamask itself. How does that affect the interface for Metamask? Are you guys planning to have this sort of like app store kind of situation in the future where you're like look like searching for different Web3 apps or I don't know how do things change from that perspective? Right. Yeah. So we are not building an app store. And so the, you know, it's it's sort of trivially out of store because, you know, we don't we're not going to charge for Snaps and we don't take a cut from, you know, Snaps monetize themselves. That's that's their business. And our business model is not to sort of create this walled garden and then extract rent. The, you know, we see Snaps sort of from a business point of view, like we want anyone to be able to, you know, extend Metamask in whatever way they want and use Metamask for whatever purpose they want. And our belief there is that that will, you know, attract the the most users to Metamask. And in terms of how it changes the interface. So there's the kind of what we call the discoverability portion, which is, I think, what your store question is getting at. And so right now we have a what we call a directory where we list all of the Snaps that are on the allow list. And so I believe, yes, I believe the URL is Snaps.metamask.io and we'll take you to the directory there. You can see and install all of the Snaps that are on on the allow list. And so we're not doing a we're not doing a store, but we are trying to provide, you know, tools to help people see what's out there, like what are these different things like what are they do, that sort of thing. And that's not part of the like core application itself. It's just hosted on a website at Snaps will have a profound effect on the Metamask user interface over time. And so that requires both, you know, that requires us to change, you know, sometimes outright replace a lot of legacy code, which we have a considerable amount of, since we, you know, Metamask is, you know, seven plus years old at this point. And really, you know, there's always like, we're always looking to improve our user interface and make it, you know, sort of like more sleek, keep up with, you know, the latest in like design thinking and like user, like user interface, you know, not trends, but like the sort of like, as we, as we as an industry learn more about like user interface design, we're always trying to like iterate and improve on our UI UX. But more than anything, you know, in order for us to realize this, like, ultimate vision of snaps, where you can take anything in the wallet and swap it out with something different, the whole application needs to become highly modular that and extensible. So everything needs to be made of sort of like, you know, both that the sort of UI and design layer and like in the actual underlying code, in a way where you can, you know, replace logic, replace like a component that like, you know, with something that looks different. And we have a lot of people, you know, across the organization, like, both like on our design and front end engineering teams, working to make this transition happen. Wow, that sounds like a like a huge change, like, you know, from from the, just like the code up to how the app itself, or like, the wallet itself looks. So yeah, will be interesting to see how how that transition happens. But yeah, it seems like, just like a foundational shift for Metamask to become so modular. Yeah, yeah, it really is. It really, you know, it takes the efforts of the entire organization to make it happen. We have, yeah, a lot of a lot of changes coming to our UI, that I think all Metamask users will be really excited about. You mentioned briefly the business model for this. And I want to, I don't want to let that just like, pass by like that. And I think it's interesting from what I got it. So you're not charging for for snaps. And you're betting that just, you know, having these apps built on Metamask will attract more users to Metamask. And, and, and that's how you'll make money off this basically, as I understand how Metamask does make money is through the swap fee, right? Is that like the right idea? Or like what exactly goes into the the business model for this? Right. So the idea is, it's basically, as you said, so our, our offerings, like, you know, we have, we have swaps, we have bridging, we have these services that the user can, you know, use on a voluntary opt in basis that, you know, we that we charge a fee for because they are expensive to build and maintain. And, you know, as I alluded to previously, like, we, we are a commercial enterprise, and we need to generate revenue somehow in order to exist, and do and accomplish all of the things that we want to accomplish. And so, by building sort of the by building the the best wallet, which we take to mean, you know, a wallet that lets the user safely do whatever it is that they want to do at using web three, and by having the widest array use cases available inside of the wallet, at most, the the, you know, more people will choose to use metamask as their as their default wallet. And then, you know, once they start using metamask, they may elect to use some of the services that we also offer on an opt in basis, you know, because they're, because they're good. And then by choosing to pay for those services, then we generate generate revenue in that way, going to to some of the the initial use cases in this open beta, I think the interoperability one is at least like to me, super interesting. Of course, like, the other ones are too, but but just like thinking, okay, well, you'll be able to use metamask for Bitcoin is pretty wild. I mean, you know, I just like associate metamask strictly with Ethereum. So how does that look like? Like, can it can you as a Bitcoin holder? If Yeah, like, if if I'm holding Bitcoin, how do I go about and now using metamask to transact? I'm really glad you asked that question, because it's something that we've definitely celebrated internally and been very excited about, sort of, you know, using metamask to, you know, manage your crypto and other layer ones, you know, including, including Bitcoin, which is, of course, exciting, because it's the it's the OG one. And it's always been, you know, it's been kind of the white whale, right, in a sense of like, things to capabilities to add to metamask. And so the way interoperability snaps that work for the user today is when the snap is installed, it requests the permission to manage keys for the protocol or protocols that the snap is going to make available to the user. And so, you know, because a lot of these protocols, like they use the same standards to derive keys from the user's seed phrase, or secret recovery phrase, SRP is the is the term that I should be using. And so the snap manages the keys for the protocols that it requests. And those protocols only snaps are not currently allowed to manage Ethereum keys, because that's the metamask job, we may look at that again at some point in the future. But so they install the snap. And then at the moment, there is no way for the snaps to represent their assets and transactions directly inside of the metamask UI itself, they can show confirmations. So for example, like a transaction confirmation, but you actually have to look at your balance and transaction history in a what we call a companion DAP. So the snap developer has also developed a DAP that is able to, you know, read information from the snap and display the user's transactions and imbalances and so on. The ability for a say Bitcoin snap to represent its assets and transactions inside of metamask itself is pending some of these major UI changes that we that we were talking about earlier. And so each snap at the moment has a, you know, it's sort of own dedicated API. So the DAP any DAP that you wishes to communicate with it needs to basically integrate or support that specific snap using metamask API, we have some plans going forward. Well, we are currently developing a multi chain API that will eventually let DAPs be agnostic or sort of unaware of where of what is providing access to the snap, so that you can just ask metamask, hey, I want to talk to Bitcoin, and then we will just wire the DAP up to the Bitcoin snap under the hood without the DAP needing to know about the existence of the snap. Wow, that's, okay, that's very cool. So that this is, um, it's, it's like a more concrete path to this, you know, multi chain vision that a lot of people love to imagine is the future. You know, I think this is how we intuitively think that a blockchain based internet should work. It's like you're interacting with different applications, but the user shouldn't be aware of what chain exactly is running them, right? Like, you shouldn't you shouldn't have to know all the like technical information. Um, so this is cool. Like this is this is like a path to that. And for I mean, for that to happen, I imagine there's like a lot of I mean, there's like bridging happening. I don't know, like, it sounds like it's, it has to be expensive to do this. Like, there's also just like wait times for some chains, like for withdrawing and depositing into some chain. So like, how, how do you deal with all that? Right. So the, so the bridging question is like, in a row, actually, so you know, there's the there's sort of two sides to this, like the first is, you know, being able to manage all of your assets using a single interface. And so, you know, we think of that as turning metamask into a universal web three interface, and snaps is the means by which we're going to do that. And then there is, you know, secondarily, there is inter operating between different chains, like using bridging, and other means like that. That is a sort of a complicated problem domain, in and of itself. It's not a problem that I have worked on, worked on directly, myself, but we do have a bridging team that offers a bridging product via our, via our portfolio. And it's something that they are working on, you know, especially in the in the EVM space, right now, and then sort of cross like layer one, like layer one bridging sounds like an even more difficult problem, particularly if you're trying to do it like in a decentralized and trustless manner. And it's, it is just going to be difficult. And there is going to be friction there for a very long time, unless you're using centralized intermediaries. Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Okay, so, and just to like, clarify the difference between the two. So the one one aspect is managing your assets through metamask, regardless of the chain. And so that's just like, okay, I want to send Bitcoin to another Bitcoin wallet, you can do that through a snap on metamask today. And there's the other, like step, which is, okay, I want to, I want to convert my ETH to Bitcoin, I guess, and something that involves, like transacting from one chain to another. And that's where you think start to get complicated, and you have to account for bridging and, and you know, all that stuff. Yes. So I think, you know, the solutions for that remain the same as they are today. I think when metamask, you know, particularly when metamask, you know, when we've created this multi chain API, and a and a user interface that makes it easy to see all of your assets and like do transactions and all that stuff, then it will at least be easier for the user to perform bridging, because you don't have to install multiple wallets, you don't have to like, you know, switch between like different browsers or devices or whatever other other complex flow, you know, ideally, you should we should get to, we can at least get to a point where, you know, you connect to a single DAP with a single wallet with, you know, both your Ethereum accounts and your Bitcoin accounts, and then do everything you need, like right there with a single wallet on a single page. That's, that's super exciting. I mean, that's already a big step forward in kind of user experience. Very cool. Okay, and then so right now, Snaps is in open beta, when does the actual live not beta start? And then what does that mean? Right. So we so we are, we are still sort of defining our beta exit criteria, I suppose, because there are a couple of different and it's going to be, you know, somewhere on the way to this milestone of a of a universal Web3 interface. At the very least, we want these, you know, we want permissionless distribution. So we want to have sort of removed ourselves as the gatekeeper. I think that's, you know, that's definitely one thing we consider a requirement as of this moment. And ideally, we would also like interoperability snaps, so multi chain snaps to represent their transactions, assets, etc. It directly in the wallet UI, without the user having to go to separate DAP, just to like, see their balance. Do you have an estimate for when that could happen? No. Not a concrete estimate. It's, you know, it is our it is our highest priority on the Snaps team, in particular, but also, as I mentioned, you know, we have a lot of different teams that are working toward this, this multi chain vision. And, you know, we, we should have, hopefully have some timelines to share as we get into 2024. But, you know, just as with, you know, the the snaps open beta, it's sort of, you know, it's something we believe very strongly in. And it will be ready when it's ready. Because, you know, the ultimately, we want to always deliver an experience to our users that, you know, that we were proud of delivering to them. Very nice. Um, okay. And then you've alluded to this, like, to the long term vision for snaps and metamask, but more, like, more concretely, you know, what, what does it end states? I mean, there's like, I know, there's probably like, no end status software development, but, you know, say, like, 10 years from now, when things are, you know, more stable, and you've kind of built everything that, you know, you're you and your team are dreaming of, like, what does that look like? Yeah, so I think for me, I think that is, you know, we have, you know, one part of it is abstracting more and more of the technical details away from the user, while still doing it in a, in a decentralized manner, like without a custodial layer or, or intermediary. So it should be, you know, extremely easy to move between different dapps and protocols seamlessly and without, you know, without that, without long delays, and without having to install multiple different applications. And when you go to a and when you go to a dapp, it should be able to ask you, you know, it shouldn't ask you like, for like a list of accounts or a list of specific chains, it should ask for the things that it needs in order to do its job. So it's like, if you, you know, if you go to an exchange, you know, the extreme the dapp should just be able to ask you for, you know, I need an allowance or like the permission to transact with, you know, this much ETH and this much BTC. And then the user should just be able to approve that in a single in like, in a single confirmation, and then the dapp should be able to perform whatever it is that the user wants to perform. And then again, as well, you know, we want users to have a granular, like a high degree and very granular control over their user interface and the functionality that is in the wallet. Because the other thing that snaps will allow you to do over time is that like, everything is sort of pluggable and swappable. So you could have, you could imagine a situation where, you know, when you, when you onboard to metamask, you sort of choose what you want to use it for. If you're like more into DeFi, or if you're more into NFTs, or if you're more into gaming, or any other number of like categories of use cases that we haven't like imagined or haven't come to fruition yet, you should just be able to, you know, basically build the wallet or like choose the experience that fits your specific needs and change and change it at will, without, you know, us or anyone else dictating to you, what you're like, what using web three or using your wallet should be like, it's an exciting vision. I do I do agree that this feels like the next step in apps, you know, just like a more personalized experience for the user, like, you know, in web three, I think people are supposed to be more in control. And so that certainly is a way towards that. And then I mean, finally, wrapping up, but curious if there's any talk of hardware, like, if, like, your team, or have ever kind of discussed that, even I don't know, as kind of like a long, like far off plan or something that you'd like to someday develop? Or like, is that like not not really being considered at all? I mean, if we're if we're talking the long term, then then sure. And it's something that we'd be that we've thought about, because it's sort of, you know, on some level, you know, the, this problem of your sort of experience being dictated to you and controlled by centralized actors, that you have very little power over, you know, it obviously, like extends to our like to the device level. And, you know, that's another thing, like, we've joked about, like, sort of, you know, when metamask OS, like when metamask foam, and, you know, we would, you know, there is, we are, we're a long way away from, you know, wanting to, you know, trying to enter the hardware business. But it's definitely like an idea that we, you know, like in our in our sort of like wildest dreams, and like talking about our greatest ambitions, like, we would love to do that at some point down the line. But we we have a long way to go yet. Well, that's, that's super exciting. I would I would love a metamask to be honest, like, that'd be cool. Okay, so title of this podcast metamask is going after Apple. I don't know about that. Kind of me in 10 years. We'll see. Eric, this was awesome. Thank you so much for joining me. Super fun. And yeah, like I said, I think it's this is a really, you know, interesting and needed development for metamask and wallet. So yeah, I'm sure we'll be seeing more more snaps in the future. And covering all of the developments in the defiant. And yeah, I guess like last thing, if if you want to point people to am, you know, where they they can get started, and to check like all the different snaps that are being developed or anything like that. Yeah. So if you're a metamask user, you can go to snaps.metamask.io, which will take you to our snaps directory, we where you can see the snaps that are available and stable right now and start trying them out. If you're a developer, I encourage you to download metamask flask, which you can find at metamask.io slash flask. And then you can, that's what we recommend that you use in order to get access to the latest snaps API's as you can start like experimenting with them. And then, you know, if you want to get your snap available in in stable, reach out to us and we are more than happy to talk to you like now is the time to you know, now is a great time to get involved and you know, help us co-create the wallet and influence the direction of the platform. Amazing. Okay. Thanks again, Eric. Super fun conversation. Yeah, likewise. Thank you, Kamal.

Fungus found in Yellowstone is key ingredient in new meat substitute
"Two thousand nine. A team of researchers discovered a previously unknown microbe in the hot springs of yellowstone national park now. The fungus is the star ingredient in a new line of food products. He was very very high in protein. And it's actually a very exciting protein because it's a complete protein. There's really not that many sources of complete putting out there. That's thomas jonas. Ceo of nature's find the chicago based startup developed a process to ferment. the fungus and create. What's now called five protein. They're using it to make a variety of foods so we've been able to make things that range from chicken nuggets hamburgers breakfast sausages to yogurts and cheese earlier this year. The company offered a limited line of cream cheese and breakfast sausage on its website. Jonas says the products will soon be sold at stores. He foresees growing demand for protein. Filled foods produce more sustainably than meat and dairy that whole supply chain is completely inefficient and using a tremendous amount of resources of land of water energy. So jonas says fi could provide a more climate-friendly alternative.
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
CBS Cans the Activist
"So I've been talking about this CBS show. It's a sharp tank styled competition show for activists. Humanitarians, and it was a shitty idea. If only there was a charity out there that could help me with the rehabilitation needed to recover from this news. I'm so happy though. Okay? The activists was a shitty idea from the jump, a terrible idea for a reality show. A week ago, everybody on the Internet started talking about this nonstop and CBS announced a 5 week reality series called the activist on usher Julianne Hough and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. I don't think she wants the last name Jonas after Chopra. I don't think she does. I really don't. She just strikes me as one of those chicks will only once her name. Priyanka Chopra. Not Jonas. Anyhow, they're the host of a show in which 6 humanitarian hopefuls are going to compete head to head in challenges to see which one was the most deserving of a trip to the G 20 summit. And it sounded like, oh, wow, that could be something special. Nobody was interested in it. No one cares about this at all. And once it hit the Internet, people were like, what are you doing? I mean, it's judged by three celebrities who have a combined net worth of $260 million, and it's around a network that made $26 billion in 2020. Give me a break. So Julianne Hough was the first to hear everyone's criticism of the show. And she addressed the situation. She said she was deeply listening. I tell you that yesterday, deeply listening to the accusations that this show was, quote, performative. She also claimed she would talk to the powers that be about the backlash. And it looks like organizations behind the show, CBS and global citizen have finally realized that there's no way the activists could escape its fate as a shitty idea and one that will have a PR nightmare following it as long as it

How to Use Renting as a Tool to Achieve Financial Freedom with Jonas Bordo
"We're talking about this idea that renting is not necessarily bad for you and we hear the flip all the time that if you rent. You're throwing away money and it's just not a smart money move but you say that reni could actually be a tool to help us achieve financial freedom so you gotta tell us about this absolutely. It's one of one of my great frustrations working with renters and homeowners across the country is that there is this Almost monolithic view. That homeownership is always better. And that's simply not the case. Renting is a great option for a lot of people at a lot of points in their life. You virtually all of us go through a phase where renting is really the only option for us But but you know for many of us. It's also the right option in a variety of different situations and it can be a superpower to help. You actually get on a firm financial footing and i think so. Much of our cultures focused on homeownership. Lost track of the fact that it's a huge financial investment. And it's not right for everybody at every point in their lives yet for sure. And i'm thinking about i mean obviously we. We are in a unique time. Now i i just watched a story. I can't remember what it was on. Cbs morning news talking about how. There's this mass exodus to places. Like boise idaho and it's so expensive to buy into a home there now. Even people that live there that are trying to sell their home and get back into a home. Can't get back into a home because it's so expensive and so think about a lot of these these cities in places that we live where renting is is the only option i mean. That's the only way you can actually afford to live yup yup. No that's That's the case for for so many of us and again it's it everybody's at different points in their lives and has different needs and one of the core characteristics of renting. That makes it great for a lot of people is it's just cheaper. It's always cheaper. In almost every market in the country and every place in the country but on average renting is about forty percent cheaper than owning home.

Go follow him. All over the place and moved to wyoming. I can't do that. He should have a wife supports his every move and travels with him and does everything and i. I feel like a failure that it's like a third eric. Gee i feel like a loser. But i want wanna be happy. You know. it's so crazy when you see the strongest of your siblings breakdown. You forget how uncomfortable you get. Like courtney is looking at everything trying to figure out where to put her is because you just never see him really go there especially about kanye. Because there's always at one sibling. That acts like everything's great. Everything's fine we're good so it's just interesting to see courtney who's like everybody else.

"Is the work that we do anyway. Right? This is that whole kit and caboodle. This is the process. On. So just introducing it and bring it out on the airwaves is a ton of fun on as always, though, if you if you want to learn more about this, if you want to really start to see how you could implemented into your process is, you know a great place to just come out to one of one of our introductory workshops. Easiest way to do that is just shoot us a text message Text the word class that C L A s s to the number 2 10 to 10. That's C L. A S s just text that word to the number 210210 here. We are kicking off the show and I already spoiler. Gregory's with us today. I already said Greg Gaffney said your name and I only said Gregory. I didn't say Gregory thrown us this time, and I didn't even do like some crazy. You know, you're better than sliced bread type of an introduction because I bet All of our listeners already know that. But Gregory, how are you today? I'm doing really well, How are you, Mr Ryan Cook? I feel like I'm getting sent to the principal's office. Every time you said we'll name same way least pronounce my name, right? I'm growing my entire life with people mispronounce my name. Always fun in class. You know they go. You get to me in that Gregory Gregory, and then they just they just give up and very t d. Yes, and I lived in Massachusetts for awhile, and I used to always just talk to me Talk to my neighbors and stuff. And I always say, Man, you have such a cool name. You have a cool name to my name is about as vanilla as they come. Right, it's Ryan could. That's true. I wish you would have had actually, my great great great grandpa was adopted. I was actually supposed to be a brown would be Gregory Brown to be the Greg around and Ryan Cook event that would have started simplified your whole childhood. His name was Brown. But I had some friends in the when I was out New England specifically and their last name was LaPaglia and I was like, See, Look, Paglia, you have a cool, cool name. That is a good name, but he's ever been scared of somebody with the last name Cook. But if your last name's LaPaglia people take your pretty seriously Uh, now, But here we are. Just another great week. Some great fun market activity. And in this show, you know, like we mentioned a little bit ago. We do the whole kit and caboodle in here. We like to break down the overall markets, and that is the trading and investing process. The what I like to call the stock selection process. You get introduced to that you get a little more depth on when you come out to one of the free one of the free introductory workshops. We would like to put it on display for you hear it all starts with the S and P 500 breaking down. The overall position of the market, specifically meaning wholesale and retail. You would like to buy in wholesale and we like to sell in retail and then going in through Ah, process of sector rotation. Modeling where we really start to ID identify well, what areas of Of the market are in wholesale and retail areas and have potentially the highest probability of moving in a specific direction. Those directions this is going to shock you, but that's up or down right inside of our financial markets and then and then from those sectors which do we identify as the some great trading ideas? Some good Opportunities that were able to dig out of there. So the overall goal is is bullish opportunities and strong sectors and a wholesale market and barrish opportunities in week sectors in a retail market. And the whole key with this is you've gotta wait. You proactively identify this stuff, and then you wait for prices to come. You're gonna hear a lot of that and what we're talking about through all of these all of these sessions here, but everything starts with the S and P 500. Everything starts with my main man, Gregory Jonas Gregory. You're not being called into the principal's office, but we would love to hear your opinion on where the markets are right now. You know, it's interesting keeps saying the same thing over and over. It's almost like the same red. Repeat, repeat, repeat, because the markets of him throw highs and then they really kind of just been stagnant for awhile, you know, especially not so much the S and P 500 the cues and certainly the Russell 2000, which is a smaller companies that really just been kind of a sideways consolidation. They call it We're just kind of hits, tops and bottoms, tops, Bottoms and, ah, lot of people see this, You know, especially if you're buying hold type of a person or buying hope as we like to call it a little smoke Opium. Yeah, If you're a mutual funds the last month or two or three, you know there's a pretty good chance that you've made no money from the value of your mutual funds or stock's going up in value because it's a kind of the sideways channel. If you you want to call that Now was really interesting. One of things, we talk about it, and we have these workshops all the time out here at online training academy is that we talked about the idea. There's opportunity inside of those sideways moves, and not many people realize that because you can play the top of that move and you play the bottom that move looking for those wholesale retail prices as you describe them. Yeah, and on. It's also just just kind of important to I think I think Bring up along with that is it is that wholesale and retail areas that we're looking for? And even though areas of the market can be doing well, some can also be doing poorly and that's one of the reasons why you can come in and you could start to really break down. Even you know your your comment about the funds that are out there, You know, there are some specific areas of the market that are doing well and some very specific areas of the market. That are even resulting in some of the highs that we've seen even over the last few years. And in those cases where it's not an overall market activity, those air the cases where diversification actually hurts you. Right if you're diversified you so I'm diversified and I forget which famous investor whose last name rhymes with buffet, you know, classified development. Diversification is the first sign of ignorance, but it really does end up being something that really, really can hold you back from even being at the market average, and we hadn't even started to talk about the fee structure that's inside Something's mutual funds. But you know, and one of the opinions I've always had on him, and if you look at the design of them, they're not even designed to outperform..

"I'd love to hear from you guys as a as a married couple how. That's how this is kind of like with your marriage. I'm curious to know do you. What is your community. Look like as far as support and kind of maintaining like i. I'm assuming you have a wonderful happy and healthy marriage and how is how is that going. You know raising a person with special needs in addition then to also running your own business together and so obviously all these things are difficult. So i gotta know like. How do you stay motivated. And how do you guys stay. Encouraged in would say our community has been amazing and supportive for us in our friends and Have really like you know. Been awesome for just you know being there for us through all the challenges that we went through especially in those early years but but it was also kind of interesting i would and i don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this after having a child born special needs but we did. We did lose some friends through it to and it felt like and that was really hard for us. Because i felt like people didn't quite know how to handle our situation because almost probably felt so like emotionally exhausting. Like oh if you talk to ben and laura to see how things are going. It's probably going really hard. I don't even know what to say. And i get it like it makes sense. I understand it but on the flip side after kind of looking back on those first three years of his life so he had twenty one ice surgeries in those first. Yeah pretty much. Three years and And so it felt like when we are signing up for these surgeries. We're signing up for multiple months of of an exhaustive like hospital. Stay at felt like and so So i felt like that was really hard for us. I would say something. I would have never expected and they know people talk about that with grief. You know if you're losing someone that's close to you. It's kind of a similar experience. And so i feel that was a challenging time looking back and reflecting on it you know we've gotten through it and you know have had a lot of friends that sucked stuck by our side at the same time so i wouldn't say that everybody must us on it. I wouldn't marry solves but But that was a little bit of an unexpected situation that. I don't think i would have expected to happen. I guess and so that was challenging. In those first few years i would say i think just to piggyback on that. I think and this isn't a surprise to anyone. It's like you know that's kind of a tendency in our culture is to spread yourself really thin and have lots of friends and be popular on whatever channel matters to you or whatever and i think kevin these moments. It's not that we don't love the friends that we were really dirt kinda work. Closer with prior jonas's birth. It's just more that You could just kind of tell the ones that like kind of wanted to lean in and the ones that wanted to lean out when things were a little tougher And so. I think it was one of those like laura said you know. We don't fault them for it. You know still love them as individuals it's just like you realize that kind of like shrunk our friend group a little bit. I would say the ones that really leaned in. And now you're fireside. I would say like stuck buyer side you know and and our family obviously to was you know right there along with us a lot of times they would come to the hospital with us in just support because some of those injuries were hours and hours so anxious young families and i think it's just the culture and you know it's kind of inspired us to be a little more intentional in that sense to it is easier to say like step back and say like let me know if i can do anything but it's hard because we don't want to ask for help and you know that's a hard spe so just realizing that when people are going through these times it's like it means a lot to just like lean in step in do things even if they're not asked for and i think that's kind of what we experienced and and and i think i don't know it's like it brings you together but then the stress and anxiety of everything you're going through also kind of pulls you apart a little bit. I would say if we're truly honest because there's times where you just kind of want to be alone and crying the corner. Whatever but i think i mean fortunately to each other can lean on through those times and i think that's a lot of even what we were saying kind of those moments. We had along the way where we can have challenged one another. It seem like fortunately we kind of had that dynamic. Where when. I was having a hard time. Laura felt strong and when she was having a hard time. I felt strong. And we're able to push through it altogether. But i would say to yeah just ongoing into the business and all the things afterwards yeah. It's still hard. I mean i think whenever we tell people that we've basically worked together co-founders since college for fifteen years people are just like you know we jill each other and i think there is some truth to that and i think it i think what we still are working on and what's really challenging kind of compartmentalizing work relationship. Because i think it's you know maybe a little easier for me and my personality to compartmentalize things and be like this is business like this happened at work and then like let's move on at dinner whereas the comedian that case too like if you disagree at work then flows into dinner. Dinner's little more silent than it. Normally would be an. It's like what we talk about because this thing this elephant in the room. So i think it's one of those things that's continue a continual process we're going through and and i think to just like just like any employees or any like worker like nobody likes to be like micromanaged and things like that and i think in relationships there can be sometimes a tendency to want to like micromanage a little bit and so i think that was something for us that we had like very early on in. That was where like our previous experience helped but really early on like clearly defined roles responsibilities and give that trust to your spouse or your your co worker business partner whatever to kind of say like hey this is yours you own it. I trust you. And i'm not going to be sitting over your shoulder watching everything. You're doing making suggestions. Whatever so so. I think that's helped really kind of more clearly defined that and then i think as our team has grown that's also helped to because it's not lord. I doing everything working till like midnight every night you know chatting with manufacturers and whatever. It's we have team that can help can offload some of that burden and And that's helped to think just from a work life balance standpoint. Yeah.

"Living that crazy crazy life. I guess you could save working little's and school and trying to just navigate all of this chaos that we're living in right now too so and the yet to your other question to i. Guess what we love to do together as a family pre pandemic travel. That's been a little bit. I don't know it's been frozen for a little bit but travel camping etc something that our family just loves to do together kind of getting out of our normal routine getting us out of the business a little bit so we can all candidates have fun together and explore together jonas big on exploring. He's got a big imaginations everywhere. We go is a new adventure trying to find some new character from a movie or minecraft roadblocks. Whatever it is you know the thing that he's into at the time. So yeah okay so take us back to life before your son kind of tell us a little bit about you know what was going on in your life before then you got pregnant and then tell us a little bit about receiving diagnosis. And he's been like. Yeah so we waited like. I said we're we've been married now for fifteen years but we ended up waiting about seven years before we decided to have kids kind of had a photography business that we were running and kind of trained to just do a lot of different things at the time and just felt like we were travelling in just kind of living life as a young married couple which was museum and super awesome a lot of really need experiences during those years. And and we decided yeah. We told their parents. We'd wait five years and then at about right around five years gig as a hold off. We're not quite there yet. But yes so. We ended up waiting seven years to kind of dive into this wild ride of parenting and They feel like the timing thankfully was just. It was a good time for us. And we're excited about kind of just. This new journey of you know like all new parents. Just what is going to be of your little child that you're that you're now in charge of forever and and so but no. I felt like we were just like on the appearance. Super pompton excited for this new new journey. In and as far as my pregnancy goes there was no no red flags no issues along the way besides just your normal like aches and pains of having a child but but things have changed pretty quickly as far as as far as you know our life goes once. Jonas was born and Those i like what twenty four hours things can of you have your peak of the baby beaten born and then we have had a pretty aggressive low. I would say after the kind of started noticing. Something wasn't quite right with his eyes and and that was when things kind of just started feeling a little like What's going on here. Nobody really knew exactly what was happening but yet it still felt like things are looking a little questionable so when are i would say our journey really started with kind of down this path of you know. It was pretty quick right after he was born. I've just what our life is kind of going to become now. If a child that was pretty much born blind yeah as laura mentioned smooth pregnancy no indications etc and then you know you ended up laboring for a long time thirty hours and giants too small and it kinda got you point where it was. Yeah jonas hurry was increasing in. There is some stress and stuff so it can turn from you know labor to emergency c sections. We are kind of focused on that and just focus on like at that. Point really likes survival. So was like laura said just kind of that extreme joy of when they pulled him out and he cried for the first time. You know like we were just elated and I remember the moment that the doctor handed them to me. And i showed him to laura or like kind of brought him over to laura one of the first question she asked was does he have pupils because his eyes were just kind of grey at birth and so i was like well you know. Give them a traumatic. Let's give him a minute and get him cleaned off. And you know we'll figure it out. And then i think in those early days the early hours i would say we all were just so excited meeting him. And all of that that we maybe as a family kind of overlooked the fact that maybe as is didn't look quite normal and then as laura quote unquote normal and as laura mentioned. You know pediatrician came in the whatever thirty thirty hours or so. Check up and kind of confirmed our fears just said you know you know everything looks pretty good overall but there is something with this is i haven't really seen this before. we'll get an pediatric ophthalmologists and a pediatric ophthalmologist came in and took him away for a couple of hours and came back and kind of just suck the oxygen from the room. Just by saying you know. I don't really know what this is. We've never really seen it before. I've never really seen it before. But it doesn't look good. And i remember laura just kind of you know screaming crying like is he blind and the doctor again. Just didn't really give us much. Hope kind of say you know. I don't know but it doesn't look promising that again as far as like the diagnosis side. That was like when we found out was literally like when we first met jonas. And then that's an aside canada's medical odyssey there wasn't anyone in grand rapids was specialized enough to work with jonas situation. He was born with a condition. Called peters anomaly. Where essentially his eyes were his corneas. Were cloudy at birth and there were some other developmental things with this is that they were a little underdeveloped etc and so it was kind of a case rose either you go to university of michigan northwestern in chicago then ended up meeting with a specialist at university of michigan. And i think that was kind of the first. That was after a few weeks two weeks after his birth. You know she did give us kind of a little bit of hope and just said you know. Sometimes kids with peter's anomaly essentially once you open up that window to the world there is potential for site and i think that was kind of that first moment of you know hope that we could do something to kind of help you know maybe potentially increases potential or you know maybe a decrease some of the challenges. He might have growing up in a sighted world. Thank you thank you for sharing about that. And so many parents on the show of you know shared like that whole massive rollercoaster of hearing that take place for the first time in. We hear that we get it. I'm curious to hear though from you. Ben specifically like like really deep down inside like what was what was like for you like kind of what was maybe you know your own perception of fatherhood kind of entering into this and then you know now kind of on on this side of it. How as you know being a father kind of been you know shaped with. John is having a diagnosis. Yeah great question. Because i think too as we had mentioned pursued a master's in the visual arts and so for myself in particular mentioned were photographers than almost kind of making a living off of beauty and our is our vision on how we perceive the world so i think very early on that initial reaction was just that you immediately go to like i immediately went to like palace his life going to be so much different than mine you know not only from how he experiences the world and what he might potentially be missing out on because again we have five cents is for a reason. It's but we rely so heavily on vision that i feel like it was hard for us to come to grips with just the reality that you can live a fulfilled life one of your senses. I think that was like a really big challenge in the beginning was just that thought of how different his life might be thinking of little things like sunsets and the beauty that we see and things like that and i say that to you you know as a father you kind of dream of some of those things you might do with your child some day. It's always like throwing a ball back and forth than a warm summer night or those kind of things like i'm going to teach my child to drive some day and see him drive off to college. Know kennedy just those random maybe quote unquote stereotypical things but you know kinda realizing that. Like right away. That was kind of those things. Were like taking away in an instant but i think fortunately pretty early on we were able to have that conversation and just kind of challenge one another. I guess you could say of like you know we feel like we're kind of missing out on jonas. Who he is. Because we're so fixated on like what. Our expectations expectations lost or things. Like that that we really need to focus on just like loving him for he is and i feel like that kinda freed us up to like stop worrying about all the milestones that he was missing or things like the pediatricians telling you all those things that parents just stress about and it kind of up to like love him for who he is and you know we we as parents like never want him to feel like there was any sort of disappointment or anything like that. We want him to know that we fully love him for who he is and regardless of his situation and so i think that was that was a pivotal moment. Really early on in our experience. With kind of you know coming to grips with a new reality. And i think that kind of free us up and i would say to you know. Helen keller had a quote where she wants to the only thing worse than having no site is having no vision or essentially like kind of a quote around. That and i feel like reading that early on we obviously were looking for just inspirational people that maybe experience something different. You're you know like something similar to jonas. And i feel like that kind of summarized what we experience because we felt like we had our own businesses and kind of everything. We were doing a little bit more selfish or like for our own gain. And i feel like when we were opened up to the world of visual impairment of varying levels whether it's blindness through low vision through you know needing corrective eyewear it kind of felt like it did give us like a vision for because we had always hoped for having kind of that intersection of business and impact in like. How can you find a way to kind of us. Also just you know improve the world and we feel like this was never. We always want to be careful of like saying like. Oh this is why this happened. So we'd end up here because you know it's yeah but but we do feel like the situation definitely. Opener is to a new world of social impact and way that we can kind of. I don't know yeah. Use our work to just make the world a better place than impact you know not only potentially jonas and making like glasses cool for kids and something that you know kids are excited about but also know obviously then just help with prevent childhood blindness in the developing world so long answer but yes no country to slice and dice. That's it but yeah laura how. 'bout you kind of the same kind of question like expectations for motherhood and kind of what has been a different just assimilated kind of learning process for how to kind of view the situation. It's a it's a. that's a big question. They been hit the nail on the head with a lot of things but like i remember that conversation. Very there's a lot. I would say in the first handful like those early months of his life that to be honest i don't remember and which makes me sad. Obviously 'cause you know those are such beautiful times with your infant and feel kind of early on. We were just thrusted into the so aggressively. That i like. I'm not even getting to enjoy just like those little things that people get to enjoy when they have their first child and So i feel like that. Was that conversation. They feel like kind of really freed us in a lotta ways that kind of truly changed our mindset. I would say it wasn't easy. It was hard. It still felt like something that we had to work with in our kind of work through an wrestle with but but it felt lake. That was that moment. Where we we that shift in our mind had to happen and our heart and and so i feel like that was. That was a big a big conversation. That i'll remember as one of our first large parenting decisions that we had to make but but i do feel like a lot's changed from my initial thought of becoming a mom for the first time. And and you know it's different than what i anticipated. There's obviously a lot of different things that we've had to deal with that. I've looked at my friends that were having kids at the same time. And you know it was. It was hard for me to not be a little jealous of them and be like god like none of them have to deal with this. And you know we're having like sign up for six months of surgeries. Nobody else i know is having to go through this and And just those challenges that you know the question of the why. Why did this happen to us. Why are why is this our story and and that was a another big hurdle that we had to kind of get over early on to. Because i just felt like it was like pulling us back a lot. So it's definitely been a huge navigating time in our life. I don't necessarily feel like we've done everything perfect. There's a lot of things. I wish i could go back and redo and a lot of things. I wish i could tell myself of you know. Don't worry so much about all of this. It is going to be okay. He is going to be loved. And that's most important no matter what others say about him or might critique how he looks like we love him dearly for who he is and it's been it's been a wild ride and i've definitely had a lot of nights of crying and tears and And challenges along the way but you know an awesome kid. And i think you said that earlier like there's i wouldn't change anything because he he has like made.

Puff my more like this is fine. I don't know she wrote it. I think there are some sort. Thinks she wrote it. I don't it's not an especially challenging. Read i didn't find it especially literary. I don't think it's badly written by any means. It's just it's very straightforward for. She seems like a nice person. yeah she does. She has one writing took. That i think really has jay. Yeah she would hashtag things at tash so over it or hashtag. I don't know in the priyanka zone. Yeah i like in the taxed. There will be a hashtag something and it's just i don't know i guess i found that a little gimmicky. I would be interested to see if they put a hyperlink on the hash tag in the book and links to anything. Yeah apples hashtag. Apple doesn't fall far from tree because this is what people don't understand how hashtag works to a- how hashtags work do because they just say like a phrase that isn't actually a hashtag because as a way to group lots of people talk about the same topic so for instance ab l. e. g. ab leg legislature. That's how people alberta talk about albert politics if you do put that on there then people who follow that hashtag will pay attention. No one is paying attention to apple. Hashtag apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That apple is far from tree. Sure but that just it more cyber like it's not like a thing that people are paying attention to. It's it's just like your aunt does when she's tweeting for the first time like hashtag new computer user hashtag. I'm i on twitter. Yeah kind of dates the it maybe that maybe that will become a popular thing. Now it will. It feels like that dates the book Trying to be very much of the now is the content of the book. It could schober jonas. Her childhood her time at boarding school report. Lots of time boarding school her time in the us going to high school than returning to india pageants hatton. Yeah winning miss world. I winning miss india or coming in second ever she wins the may queen prize at her family's country club right. Yeah so yeah so her days as a pageant clean then like one chapter on her time in bollywood just one chapter and then we're off to her failing music career in the us. There's a lot on the acting career in the whole chapter on quantico hotel drunk quantico the death of her father which i think you and i found the most moving chapter got them seoul. He added you know. I think she's really she's really late late. Show she sounds like she was maybe not clinically depressed. But she was pretty bummed out for a couple of years over and then a lot about was a whole chapter dedicated to the wedding. I feel about three. Jonas chapters right shows up. it's jones show. We spend more time learning about nick than we do about her bollywood film. We spend more time with her refuting rumors that she got a nose job than we do with her bollywood career.

How Content Creators Have Gained the Power in Esports with AFK Creators CEO Matt Woods
"We are talking to them and co-founder of JFK creators Matt Woods better known as Mazzios Maddio's welcome to the show. Thanks for having me met super excited and sad but also honored to be one of the last guests. It has been quite a ride quite a ride for sure and I am so happy to have you on the show because we're going to be talking about one of the big stories in Esports, which is this transition from E Sports organizations into these hubs of digital influence the rise of the gaming influencer and really so much that's kind of central to what Esports is right now. But first you need to know about a creators as a streamer and YouTube content creator Matthew has been in and around Esports four years in 2019. He co-founded AFK creators a talent management and influencer marketing agency. They have players like Ellen energies Rogue five up the Among Us God average Jonas in addition to another 1,500 or so influencers. So it's big founded educate creators has run major campaigns from France like manscaped and nordvpn off Brands. JFK creams runs tournaments helps coordinate brand Partnerships with e Sports properties and then just campaigns for Esports players and content creators AFK takes on the role of agent finds independent brand deals and helps them build their own person. No brands on the show going to be talking about AFK, of course, but really expanding this conversation wider that ongoing push of a sports organizations into hubs of digital influence that rise to the gaming impulse or why they're unique in the world foods are marketing and how companies like JFK help navigate twitch and YouTube for their clients. So Mario's first take us behind the Inception of the AFK brand. What did you see missing as a twitch streamer and consecrated that you wanted to create for others? Yes I back in this is 2018 is when I know life League of Legends and and became somewhat good at the game, but more good at the craziest champion in the game, which is which is Ivan most popularized by by Tyler one in the last couple of years, but entering into that space the content world trying to make educational content and playing with with high low players at the time it quickly became apparent to me that there was really a lack of birth. Trust and transparency and also knowledge that X on the part of content creators or influences. If you want to call them that which ultimately with my friends. I never really had Grand Ambitions to to want to become a celebrity status at all. But why did really want to do is help my friends not get you know screwed over by by opportunity to put it bluntly. And so that's kind of how I entered into the space helping many people in League of Legends and overtime that expanded to work with content creators streamers Pro players offer a wide variety of games and not just in my my homeland of the UK, but very quickly through word-of-mouth working with creators around the world and which is something quite unique about them because since day one we've had that very much Global diverse mindset about ourselves and really what what then became a parent working with creators and helping them, you know respond to them. This inquiries and negotiate that deals and deliverables with with Brands was equally especially in the Esports startup world, but more generally for for all all opportunities is that bronze themselves wouldn't necessarily know how to approach influences and how to to structure deals and coming from this background of marketing and growth in my full-time job. I was ready able to help them and that really became a passion because I had a passion for Esports at a passion for startups and I could see great teams and great products who really wanted to grow their user base wage. I'm work with influencers which many of them followed themselves and and we're big fans of just didn't know how to do it in the best way. So that's how F came came came to be and it's been a wild to ride grown from myself working out of a a bedroom to being Thirty people today with people based around the world. We have over 150 signed X Club. It influences and pro players and it's it's been a wild ride, but it's great to be able to to help others us that's really the main the main goal from the outset. Absolutely and it's been a very interesting year for absolutely everybody and AFK was created about a month before actually launched this podcast assuming January 2019, which I believe I saw is the correct launch day for AFK. That's about a year. It's a we've had a weird spot here because we basically she said one year of the podcast or your company in Cove at times and one year outside of it. Can you compare and contrast how those two years sort of ran because it's definitely been an interesting switch up even though there's been a lot that stayed the same the conversations have changed and the way brands of approach to space have definitely changed as well. So could you contrast sort of that first year of creation and then how it changed as we get past this one year mark of covid-19 becoming a global disease which happened in March of 2020. Yeah, it's really I think it's changing in many ways like for our company. We we had an office that shot down but we were fortunate enough that we always had people working remotely. I think the bulb the day-to-day of our our role other than having to accept that every communication is limited hasn't really changed so much one of the biggest thing that has changed and I think has really changed it took bronze is the inability to do things physically. So obviously, you know, there's no twitchcon anymore. There's no other industry events. There's no way to touch and things if I was a brand to educate myself on the space how best to enter so what I have noticed is that being removed has restricted certain opportunity juice. Is especially if I was a non-endemic brand thinking how do I enter into the space certain traditional elements which they could relate to and understand have been completely removed and it also has inhibited. I think the network of smaller influences. That's better that were kind of quite Reliant upon going to these physical events and networking building Rapport relationships with Brands face-to-face. So that's one thing I've definitely noticed but we're definitely very fortunate in the privileged position to be a company that unfortunately has kind of not I don't want to say benefits it but prospered under under covid-19 H Ur of of the work we do can be done remote everything's online. The dish gaming space has exploded for obvious reasons. And so, you know, there's just been more opportunities and there's been more exciting opportunities to work with brands that want to experiment dog. That be you know, a fast food delivery company or even an energy drink company that previously wasn't in the space.

Brooklyn Nets Closing in on Los Angeles Lakers in Updated 2021 NBA Championship Odds
"So let's get started says we're at all star weekend in the nba Not that anybody gives a crap when it comes to the all star weekend but it is a time to go ahead and look back at what we've seen so far in the nba. And how the title odds may have shifted because fez all of a sudden. We've got a brand new co-favourite expected or at least projected to win the nba championship yet. Brooklyn nets plus two eighty the same odds now as the lakers. The nets just about a week ago where four to one. Rj bell recommended a bet on the nets. At that time. I got to give credit. Heck i gotta give her own. Mackenzie rivers credit. He bet the nets at two to one to win the east. And i think i was buying the narrative of oh kyrie irving harden these guys. I just don't trust these guys to integrate to play well together and really the opposite has been true. The nets despite bring harden in missing lots of games. Obviously when he wasn't on the team and having durant missing so many games they're right there with the best record in the east. And i think they only get better and if i make one bet and the futures market i would bet the nets right now. Plus the two eighty jonas. You said you like the nets into win the east even more at plus twenty five right. That's that's the one that that. I would look at because when you get to the nba finals. I mean you know this. I mean i it just depends the matchups. We've seen a couple of weird situations happen in the nba finals. The past couple of years. You saw a bunch of injuries early on for the heat last year in the finals you saw the golden state warriors the year before that with the toronto raptors injuries took place in those final. So we've seen this happen before where it's such a long race when you get to the finish line. It's all about a war of attrition. who's going to be the healthiest when you get to that point. But as far as coming out of the eastern conference. I know that the philadelphia seventy sixers are a great story. But i'm with you fez. These brooklyn nets have played and exceeded expectations thus far just based on personalities. Now they do have kyrie irving. That's the problem because kyrie irving is like the guy who decides to read a book in the middle of party like people are doing cake stands and they're having a good time. There's a bathtub filled with booze. You've got stripper poles. You've got everything. And he decides. That's the time he's going to break out. Warren peace and sit in the middle of the party because he just wants the attention and wants to show that he's different and he's i mean if the earth is not flat then we shouldn't go to the bubble then they should change the nba logo. That's the only reservation. I have about the brooklyn nets. i'm not worried about james harden at all james harden shown he's willing to sacrifice and do something different and decrease his workload from an offense standpoint in order to try and make the team better. I'm not worried about kevin durant. He's already been paired up with stars before it had a couple of stars at he's played with kyri to me is the one piece of that that i would. I would be a little bit concerned with. And but here's the other part of the nets. And why. I like this and especially like to win the eastern conference. What's the one knock on james harden throughout the course of his career. Great regular season runs out of gas in the postseason. Well now he's not having to carry the entire offense himself. So if that's the case and you're going to get a better rested better in condition. James harden when the postseason comes around fez to me that just screams brooklyn coming out of the eastern conference

Because i'm the oldest of. I know they have four boys should rejoice. I'm the oldest of three girls. So i always said i'm kevin and i feel like i'm the least least musically talented out of my sister's like i can't things and so i really have always resonated with him and i'm like if nick and joe go off and do their own thing again like what happens then left and i'm just worried about that is so funny but yeah you're right because the first time that they split up joe did like diene dnc. I was like anything not spelled out for his and see and then it. Nick had his solo stuff and kevin like got married and had two kids. Like i know you ever watch his. Tv show he had a tv show called married to jonas. And i loved it. Like i just thought it was so cute. I really like his wife feel like they're really normal and q. And i wanna be above. Yeah i also think that. They're so normal. Which i love like i follow kevin on tiktok or it might just be the the jonas brothers tiktok but i see tons of videos of his kids just like interacting with him and soften they just seem like such a normal family and i love the way him in daniel mat. Like it's just so normal. I love it so cute. I was like they were on vacation or something right. He shirk that every girl dream team. Jonas brother comes up. And i remember like i would die. I i mean. I always nicholas accused literally. If kevin even came up number. I would have been dad. Their data. they're like five year. Old brother asked for my given it. You know like i. I wouldn't be back but is so funny. yeah. I think that this is so long ago that i think she was on a payphone. In like the bahamas and in the lobby of a hotel that they were state both staying at and i think she was on the phone and he like waited till she got off the phone and was like. Oh my god. You're like gorgeous. I didn't know without. I just knew they were on vacation. I love that. Yeah were really. They were really young. I think because. I remember watching the jonas brothers documentary and they had a clip of heaven calling in yell and like the They were so. I wanna say like nineteen or twenty. I could be totally wrong. But he looked like a baby and he was calling her and with super nervous and was like inviting her backstage after the show and his brothers were taunting him while he was on the phone. He's like guys and it was like the cutest thing in the whole world like my favorite part about documentary. I know i love that. Because it's like you don't have to be nervous. Your fucking jonas. But to be a little nervous. The average person love kevin. I really do me to do. Because i feel like all this these stories that i make up about him about him being like the neglected one and like stuff like that are true so i know and in the documentary. They had a scene where i don't know if they were like playing some game or something but they were they were talking about..

"Dan shaw bell in fewer than ten minutes. My goal is to extract the best advising the world's smartest in most interesting people might ask them just questions. My guest today is actress and author priyanka chopra. Jonas brianca moved to lock growing up and had to face racism and bullying in school but she never gave up on herself and with the support of her family. She eventually became miss world and later appeared in more than sixty films produced in india and in the united states in twenty fifteen. She made history as the first indian born actor to lead in american network tv series when she started the abc drama quantico. She traces her twenty year entertainment career in her new memoir unfinished. We discuss in this podcast episode. Welcome to five questions priyanka for having me down. I'm so excited to be here. The you and. I were both bullied in newton massachusetts high schools. Except you dealt with racism there. My first question is how did you regain your confidence after this experience. Well i left. I was one of the few privileged people to be on the side of bullying to be able to. You know have somewhere to go and beck hallway. Mom and i was like i'm coming back to india. I don't wanna do this anymore. And i left. But i know that there are so many kids in situations and people in situations where they don't have the ability to just extract themselves or separate them sort of have to live with situations which are uncomfortable in very bullying is just terrible thing. It's an abuse of power and it happens in every field and happens in every space as a teenager just sort of affects you lot more. The only way. I could probably get over. That was because i was surrounded by so much love and affection. When i went back home with my family and you know they always treated me with a sense of confidence so i sort of regained my confidence in my sense of self being around people that love me. What's fascinating about that response. Is that the way. I viewed highschool was. I had two different realities at home. I was treated with love and care. And i was meant to feel special and only child so that could play into it as well and then at school it's like i'm getting bullied every day. So what is on. I was like almost confused at school. I'm like treated as less than and then at home treating adds more than that seems to be like what you had in terms of with your family versus in school that high school experienced sort of teaches you compartmentalization which has been really really helpful to me to maintain my sanity..

"So i don't think it ever got the full attention it probably could have But at the same time the lyrics of the song or just so blatantly about miley and the timing of its release was also just so clear. So i think it definitely was talked about a lot but probably not as popular as it should have been. Yeah do you wanna talk about some of the context and the lyrics. Yes so like we keep mentioning june eleventh. Obviously being a big day for miley one of the lyrics is because if you recall. Our anniversary falls eleven nights into june and pretty much. Everybody knows that that's an eilly date So he was pretty clear there and also are the lyric where he says that he's hoping he gets caught so i think he wanted people to put the pieces together And actually before performing it for the first time he does a whole spiel on how important and and personal. This song is to him. how he's never been so uncomfortable to perform a song is what he actually said which is interesting that he used the word uncomfortable and when miley was asked about it she said. I don't know anyone else who's getting married around this time. So it's pretty obvious. And the other the last final eric. That is so important is i. Don't wanna love if it's not you. I don't want to hear the wedding bells bloom and mine eilly heart and i'm gonna take to my grave if Nick jonas. I don't wanna love if it's not you so come on now. Why are you loving anyone else. Honestly that is just so profound. I know that the jonas brother lyrics are personal to them. I never found them that deep until the song. Yeah i definitely think like. I said how nick said that. No how no song had ever been so personal to him. I think a lot of his earlier solo songs like nick. Jonas and the administration i found to be a lot more deepen personal so i don't know whether they're trying to be more inclusive i guess and they're more popular jones brother songs but i think nick definitely has the ability to get more personal. Yeah and i love that. And i i want more of that but it's just so wild but yeah. I didn't didn't recall the song until like again. I've seen it like blow up on tiktok and again it just shows you how there is still neilly stands today and this like this was released almost ten years ago. Yeah it's wild because in my mind wedding bells is recent like i remember it coming out and everyone freaking out about it but it's almost been ten years now so i'm kinda like in my stupid bristol. Shipping gnarly this hard that at the same time like he said himself he didn't wanna love. It's not her so so let's get into like present day. We've said it before. Nick is married to priyanka chopra and they got married like within a month of liam hemsworth and miley cyrus obviously we know that miley and liam broke up and nick and priyanka as far as we know are still going strong. Yes but also a recent development that i found out i got..

"In love and come to find out. This girl on tiktok made a video about how she was on. The disney channel. Hasn't extra pretty much on the princess protection program in how she would overhear. Nick jonas calling selena and singing my girl to selena so this man boy did not have many cards to play and it shows. Oh my god i like. Want to cancel him. If i didn't love him so much. Like i would fully trying to counsel. I know i know he's fully married now and whatever but i'm kinda like nick. Jonas is over party like yes. He seems like such a player. And yeah i. I just don't think that was ever really liked discussed in his narrative. So it's really interesting. He got by without hate which is just crazy but yeah going back to seven things She writes in her book. I was angry when i wrote seven things about you. I wanted to punish him to get back at him for hurting me starts with a list of what i hate. But i'm not a hater. My heart just knew from the start that it was going to turn into a love song. Why does he get a love song. Because i don't hate him so there you go. It's so good it's so good. I love that song so much. Just because i feel like that's also like a universal feeling to like breaking up with someone and just being mad more because you like them still versus like actually hating them right. So burning up is the next one. And then we'll finally get to the infamous wedding bells but burning up. Is i would say like the apex of the jonas brothers career like i. I think that that song is like it. I had no idea until your talks. That selena gomez is nicks romantic interest in that music video. Oh wow you learned from the tiktok. Yes i was like again whereas i in two thousand and eight again probably living my like absolute best life in grade ten thursday like i said before like good for you that you were so invested. It's crazy because the song is written about miley the iconic readdress lyric that. He no longer sings anymore. Which i find suspicious but the red dress line is referring to the readdress to the amaize. I believe in two thousand eight so very crazy that he would write the song about miley and then feature his new love interest. Selena gomez and the music video all while there's clearly so much drama and hate between selena miley. It's so dramatic. And i love it so much like i could write a book just on truly the readdress thing. You're totally right Joe sings at now or they. Just don't sing it on tour and then there's like millions of tiktok s- of like when they do sing it though but i think usually they joe does like a call out the audience and they sing it to them or something like that. But it's just. I find it suspicious because i'm like the one lyric you know what i mean and it's like why don't you see him anymore. Just curious it's very saas like extremely sauce. We kind of talked about this by when selena was like the romantic interest. Like did she know she was like fully being put in the middle of this situation or did she think that neilly was over and nick was just like a one one girl guy. I feel like she probably didn't know what she was really getting into the first time around can't say the same for the second and third time around. I'm sure she got to have figured it out by then wonder is whether it was disney's idea to put her in the music video or was it..

"Who knows what that was so the next kind of big milestone is when they co write. The song before the storm was that like commissioned by disney or or was there like a purpose for why they came together for that or was it just like their ideas. I definitely think it was their own personal idea. It seems like a very personal song and at the time when the weather's were releasing their album that this song was on line finds and trying times They would constantly be asked like. What's your favorite song with. The most personal song on the album and nick would always say before the storm so i think it definitely was a really important song to them and it was also around the time that all the disney stars did send it on and miley had tweeted that she was writing a song with nick jonas in the theater and might have not been before the storm but it was around the same timeframe. So it's safe to say that they were definitely writing a lot of songs together. Definitely like you said touching on their love for music and reconciling that way. I love that and the paparazzi photos of them going into the recording studio or whatever where nixon that like new york had and she's in lake cowboy boots. It's just like my favorite era. I love those. She has that beautiful long curly hair. And i just love those photos. So he's definitely going back to ocean. 'cause there had been such a long time before we had any nine lead content all of a sudden those paparazzi photos came out. Like you said miley with a cowboy boots and curly long hair. And i remember everyone was shocked when those sort of came out so i know there's no better feeling than like a drought of your favorite celebrity couple or like pop culture story pitchers drop and it's just there's nothing like it so we're back to june two thousand nine there together but she starts filming the last song he seen jet skiing on the set but then they break up and she starts dating liam hemsworth and he goes back to. Selena happened there. Yes so. I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed at that point if they had officially gone back together and nick and miley but like you mentioned on june thirteenth two thousand nine. She was seen a jet skiing with nick and not just jet skiing but making out with him on the jet ski so it can be assumed that they might have been back to being romantic with each other. But the weird part. That doesn't really add. Up is miley considers her anniversary with liam to be june eleventh. Two thousand nine. Which is interesting that she chose the same date That she had our anniversary with nick and have a whole talk about this. But it's just it seems that miley isn't so clear in her own mind of the line Because there's just no way that it was the same exact date plus. She was seeing kissing. Nick on a jet ski just before that. So it's so weird..

"Was a An abnormal situation. I guess for them totally so they get together. And it's pretty. It's pretty hush hush at this point right like the us normies have not caught on that. They're together right. yeah. I don't think so at least for me. I think what's interesting. Is i think disney always caught onto it from the very beginning before anything was necessarily public because they did make that Cameo moment in the hannah montana And they had in the episode. Nick jonas pretty much falling in love with her immediately even as characters so they definitely were pointing us in the right direction. But i don't think it was pretty well that well known at the time that is just so classic like disney where it's like of course they knew all of that and of course they're gonna like capitalize on an like may get a huge thing but yeah. I remember watching that. Hannah montana episode. I'm being like completely as li like mesmerized. Yeah of course like you said capitalizing on that like beyond that right after the episode they went on tour together. They had a song together so disney just went full swing in like. Let's push this. Yes was there tour. 'cause i definitely went to the hannah montana. This is so embarrassing. I guess it's not embarrassing because it's like look what we're talking. I literally went to the three d concert experience in a theater. No i definitely did too. And i also i went to that tour with the jonas brothers in hanlon. I actually saw hannah montana when she was opening for the cheetah girls. So that was before i iraq. Yeah you're living may dream nothing else to do. And i actually made a tiktok because i also saw the jonas brothers on tour around the same time and i was like i said a huge stance since the beginning and i went to the jonas. Whether it's concert wearing a hannah montana wig because that would make this notice me like what was going through your head. Like oh he'll leave and he wasn't. Even i just like you know what he's so in love with miley episode falls in love with hannah like if the crowd with this wig on like he's gonna fall in love like i'm obsessed that i've seen so many talks girls like when i was like ten or eleven going to concerts and getting flee ready and just being like this will be the like outfit that the lake siemian and it's so funny because they're like what did i think was gonna happen like we were going to like meet and follow of honestly. I love it. 'cause it's like i have less confidence now than i one hundred percent like. I've been taking down a handful of not just. I would never do something like that now. I love that. I love girls before society has a chance to like beat them down exactly so i'm like honestly go off sister like jonas was gonna fall in love with you with a wig on yup. I love that so much..
