A highlight from Your-Weekly-Tech-Update-EP-134
"Hello everyone! Welcome to your weekly tech update, the show that explores the newest, coolest, and sometimes mind -boggling side of tech available on the interwebs. I am your host, Ray McNeil. Coming up on the program today, Google Meet video calls are getting a Zoom -like layout. Impossible Foods rolls out to nearly one thousand new grocery stores and supermarkets, and will take your mind off the world and put a smile on your face with this week's Moment of Joy. That and a whole lot more coming up on today's edition of your weekly tech update, next. Google Meet will undergo huge changes over the next few weeks as the tech giant rushes to make it a more viable alternative to Zoom. To start with, the video conferencing tool is now directly accessible from within Gmail for business and education users. Those who prefer Zoom for its gallery -like layout that can show up to 25 participants at once would probably be more excited to get another feature coming later this month. Google will roll out a new layout option that can display up to 16 participants. There's already a Chrome extension that can mimic the Zoom feature for Meet, but its official release means there's no need for a workaround anymore. The company will also enhance Meet's video quality in dim lighting and its ability to filter out background noise in the coming weeks. In addition, an upcoming feature will allow users to display a specific tab open on their Chrome browser during a call. Zoom recently enjoyed a surge in popularity due to a shelter -at -home order, but it suffered from various privacy issues that has prompted a lot of organizations. including several school districts in the U .S. to ban it outright. With these changes, Meet could become a new decent alternative to Zoom, especially since its premium features are free to use until September 30th. Disney set the streaming -only premiere date for live -action sci -fi fantasy Artemis Fowl on its Disney Plus service worldwide, hoping it gives more juice to the subscription VOD product while all of the theaters are closed. Artemis Fowl, directed by Kenneth Branagh, will be exclusively available on Disney Plus beginning on Friday, June 12th. It had originally been set for a May 29th theatrical debut. Based on the best -selling book by Irish author Ian Culfer, Artemis Fowl follows the journey of a 12 -year -old criminal mastermind as he desperately tries to save his kidnapped father. Artemis must infiltrate an ancient underground civilization of fairies and track down the Oculus, the fairies' most powerful and coveted magical device, to pay the ransom. In a statement, Branagh said that Artemis Fowl would be as proud as I am that families around the world will now be able to enjoy his first amazing screen adventures together on Disney Plus. Artemis Fowl stars newcomer Ferdia Shaw in the title role, alongside Laura Macdonald, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozzi, Josh Maguire, Nikesh Patel, and Adrian Scarborough, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench. Branagh and Judi Hofflin are producing, with Angus Moore Gordon and Matthew Jenkins serving as executive producers. Connor McPherson and Hamish McCall wrote the screenplay. Amid the COVID -19 crisis, Disney has postponed nearly every one of its forthcoming movie releases, including Black Widow, Mulan, The New Mutants, The Eternals, Jungle Cruise, and Indiana Jones 5. The media conglomerate is betting that Artemis Fowl will draw more subscribers into Disney Plus, which surpassed 50 million paying customers worldwide in its first five months of service. That's been buoyed by its recent launch in India and eight Western European countries, along with the early release of Frozen 2 on the subscription service. In the U .S., Disney Plus is $6 .99 monthly, or $69 .99 for a one -year subscription.

"These sorts of things would not affect my life. Yeah, I saw Miles this morning, he's here as well. No, it's good, we must chat, we're all fucking together, and I'll help you out. We're in the same game. We are in the same game. What's up, Ali? Camera vs camera, bro. Hey, man. Like and subscribe! I want to say a massive thank you to Birdjet, Bear Marcus, and I'm sitting on a yacht right now, my first time ever. Again, I'm incredibly grateful for this journey. Never quit on your dreams, don't allow anyone to stop you on this journey. Because if you work hard enough, it does happen, so keep focused by the family. This is the man, honestly. This is the man. Can't get enough of this guy. Come on, come on, come on. Let's go. So, here we are, end of day one, token 24.9. Absolutely crazy in there. Most people are going home to chill now, or maybe going to some after parties. I'm going to go to the hotel and I've got to go live again. I'm exhausted and I'm jet-lagged. I'm finished from today. Alright, welcome. Listen, we are running very late, the inflation numbers came out, we've got to make a show. So, I'm trying to catch up and understand what happened with the CPI, and then also putting the rest of the show together. And you can see now, there are exactly 12 minutes until the show starts. So, I'm putting my head down and focus. Okay, mic's working. Damn, I can't hear you again, Josh. Which means there's not going to be... Talk, Josh? Okay. I was a professional dancer. Before I became a trader. Never in my life did we not have a sound check before we went off stage. And this is no different. I do not understand why behind the scenes team turns up three minutes before the show, and doesn't do a sound check. Okay, there we go. Alright, let's go. What's wrong, Josh? I'm hearing an echo. I'm tired. I've been on a 20-hour flight across the globe. I need to do a live show. It's the last thing I feel like doing now. And the last thing I feel like dealing with is sound issues. I mean, I cannot believe that we're three years into banter, and we're still having basic sound issues. One, two, one, two. One, two, one, two. Okay. We're the biggest live crypto streaming station in the world. We shouldn't be having these issues now. If they don't get this resolved in the next few weeks, it's not going to end well. It's always worth these traveling shows. There was drama. There is drama now. I'm like, how do you not have a sound check? It makes no sense to me. Where the fuck has everyone gone? Ran the use for one week. This is what I have to deal with. The one thing that banter has is its culture. People know us because we've got the best work ethic and the best culture in the industry. And so if I'm here busting my ass in Singapore, working from 7 a.m. like a crazy person at the conference, I won't tolerate people back at the office, not arriving at work. Have you seen Ran's message? She's pissed. She's pissed. Do you know the saying, if the cat's away, the mice will play? So Ran's away and the mice are definitely playing, like people are not going to fucking work. So he says, so it turns out that some people believe that while we are away working like dogs in Singapore, it is okay to drop the company culture in the right light to the office. And he's like, I've spoken about this before and believe I made it clear that this is something I won't tolerate. There's this perception that while I'm away, everyone can mess around at the other side. So I put my foot down and I sent the team a message and I said in the message, I'm getting the video footage from my landlord and if anybody arrived one minute after 9.15 in the morning, they fired. Pack up your laptops and leave. If you were late, please pack your bags today and leave your laptop. A lot of people started DMing me thinking, you're not really going to fire people for not arriving at work. Watch me. Are you worried you're going to get fired? No. No, I'm not. I'm literally not. I'm chilling because look, I'm the diversity employee. Okay, they literally go, hey, look, we care about diversity. So I'm immune. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not scared. Morning guys. I see that no one's in the office. I don't know if Ran's dropped a message saying people can work from home. There's nothing I know about. So unless Ran's given you permission to work from home or myself, please get into the office, 9 a.m., work as usual, nothing's changed. We don't run a work from home culture. We run a work from office culture, strictly 9 a.m. If you're not going to be here, don't come in. I don't stand for people that take chances when Ran's out the country and I'm back. So best you get in here or it's game over. Wow. Interesting. I just woke up. Not done for. Oh, jeez, I'm dead. Guys, I'm like super late. It's like 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I ended up going to a party in Los Angeles. I lost my bag. So the whole morning I'd be trying to phone the hotels, try to find my bag. I lost my pass. I had to go stand in a long queue now, try to get another pass. They didn't want to give me another pass. And now it's like two, three hours left of the event and I've got to try squeezing there and sneaking behind Ran so that he doesn't beat my ass. Let's go. Okay, so after we tweeted about me yesterday, OKX reached out to me. They asked if I wanted to be your ambassador. And then I said, of course. They gave me an office tour. And now just because of Ran, I'm an ambassador of OKX. That is unbelievable, my friend. I think we've changed lives, guys. Ran changed my life. It's crazy. It's social media. Don't phone us because he's just going to copy it and put it on his channel. I disagree. Let's talk. Let's talk. Listen, you know, I always say I love you. You work really hard. Of course. But I didn't understand you this morning. Yeah, I just think you can do better, brother. Yeah, of course. So can I also explain my side? Sure. Because I tweet like 30 to 40 points a day. Yes, yes, yes. Honestly, you do you. I like you. I've liked you since the beginning. I like you since the beginning. I've always said you're a hardworking guy. The only thing is, I'm going to give you two things. One is I think you can do better than using other people's content because you're actually a smart guy, right? Yes. And when you use other people's content, it makes you not a smart guy. The other thing is, I mean, at one point I had to unfollow you because why? Yeah. Because the amount of times you tweet the same thing which is just unsubstantiated, it's like, I can't read anymore. Now listen, if that's your strategy and it works for you, it's fucking great. Yeah. You know what I mean? I just think you can do better, bro. That's like all good between us. No, no, bro, always good. Of course. Every time I've criticized you, I've always said on my videos that I like Rover. He's a nice guy. He works really hard. I've always said it. Go watch my videos. I've never said you're a bad guy. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Much love, brother. It's nice to speak to you. I don't want to make enemies, you know? No, no, no, no. Because I think we're all in it together. Nothing like that. Nothing like that. Thank you. Much love, bro. I do like him. I mean, I like Rover. He's a very cool guy. I've always said that he's very smart, but I just, I think he can do better. Maybe it's just disappointment. I think he can do better, but okay. Good guy. Good guy. I need to sit because I haven't had a moment to sit for, so the office has just opened up. I just need to make sure that everyone gets a lot of messages. Yesterday's show was super disappointing. I feel I was kind of let down by a lot of people, but including the research team. Why? Because they didn't add any spice or any flavor to the show. And when I looked at the show, I found it to be like very similar to other shows that have been on. For example, like Ivan on Tech. And that put me in a position where I was under a lot of pressure to have to deliver an amazing show, but I didn't have the research and I didn't have the content. I just want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. The first day Rand does a show since he's been in Singapore has been our worst performing show in three weeks. It was an absolute mess. The content was bad. There was barely anyone on the research call which completely reflected the show we had. People that can't get their work done because Rand's away should go. I don't know why I even need to attend these research calls to be honest with you, because he needs content for his show, but I don't need it. And I also worked out a hack. You're not allowed to be late because you get kicked out forever, but if you don't show up at all, you can come back. So I just don't show up at all. We know that Twitter Spaces is really important for our business. It brings in a brand new audience, number one. We also think that Twitter is one day going to replace YouTube. And lastly, our business is very reliant on YouTube. And you know, YouTube centralized. They could switch off our channel tomorrow and we wouldn't have anyone to talk to. It's as simple as that. So we made a decision that we're going to pivot our business to focus on Twitter. And in focusing on Twitter, we partnered with Mario Northall and Scott Melka, and we created a show called Crypto Town Hall. It's a daily show that happens at 10.15 EST. And it's myself, Scott, and Mario. How are you feeling? Good. Tired. What time did I come? 10, 3.45. Jet lag. We did Spaces last night. Yeah, I got here yesterday. So we did Spaces last night, which I stayed up for. I was falling asleep. And then the minute we were done, I wanted to go to sleep and I couldn't. You're starting to sleep Mario hours now. Yeah, I know. For a few days. How does he do it? I don't know how he does it. He wanted me to come to Dubai in between and he was going to meet me at the airport for like 45 minutes. He's really good on Spaces, but I must say, like, I'm struggling on the Spaces. I can't get a word in, man. It's a problem. Not because of him, I don't think. I think it's because we're still hosting on his account. Yeah. And so the perception is that it's his show. Yeah. And I think that he is so used to... Running the show. We do calls with him, obviously. And he tells people to, like, mute themselves because there's background noise on a call. On a call. Literally everything he does is modeled after a Spaces. But, yeah, I think we need to switch to the other account soon. Yeah. We're going to take a hit on the viewers. We'll take a hit on the views in the short term. In the long term, though, we'll build another thing. Look, there's going to be issues. It's a new partnership with three people and three businesses. Three teams. Three teams. That's the problem. Yeah. Three teams. I know there's a very tough dynamic between Mario's team and our team or the team that we've got at Banter. The one that worries me is revenue. I think we need to meet with Dave and just... Like, I think every single segment must be sponsored. My name is David Eri. I look after all sponsorships, partnerships and media relationships here at the channel Crypto Banter. I'm looking around the exhibition floor and, like, mid-day, Ron just calls me and says... Gives me a call and says, come and meet him in the cafes. So, listen, we just had a meeting about Spaces. One of the things that... I'm not going to say we're not happy because we actually... We are very happy.

"Hall and then they'll go to the restaurant across the street right so what we do is bring this stimulus to New York City which we're always happy to do and we have a lot of fun with doing it and then we have a big event which is Stand Up for Heroes which kind of opens up the festival this year on November 6th so we have Jimmy Carr there, Tracy Morgan, Rita Wilson will be singing, Shane Gillis, Ronny Chang, Jon Stewart who's a constant there and also Josh Groban and John Mellencamp. That's so cool. How do you think about when you put it together 17 years and running? Talk to us about like how it's evolved. Oh it's 19 years. The festival is 19 years and 17 years for Stand Up for Heroes but it's 19 years next year we're having a big big blowout the 20th year in New York City. Wow. You know we start the day after we finish here we start for next year actually we're trying to secure venues ready for next year you know our big shows at Madison Square Garden so we do that constantly. Can you know it's it's we don't often because we have a global audience here on the program. Do we really? Yeah we do. I had no idea Yeah that's some comedy for you. Don't hold it kidding. Looking into the control room to see if they can save me. Stop! They're laughing in there. But we do and we you know we have a national audience as well. So why are we talking about something here in New York? Well because a lot of people from all over the world and all over the country come to this. Talk a little bit about who this attracts and and sort of where New York is right now in the comedy scene. Because you know there there are people are who saying you know okay LA is you know a classic place for comedy. You've got Joe Rogan and Austin doing his thing. You know trying to make Austin comedy happen. Where do you stand on all this? You know you can never negate New York. Okay. You can't take the New Yorker as a good New Yorker. No it's here it's it's here here's where it starts. This is where you get the creative juices. This is where you get the ideas. You know the whole thing with LA was that you know which is not so quite in fashion right now is to go out there to get your sitcom. That's that's not really happening anymore. Now it's like... Wasn't happening over the last five months without the writers strike I can tell you that. I guess they're back. That's a really good point because you did see a lot of comics for a long time right get a series and then just move to television. But now the touring that goes on when you have a great special that's on TV you take that and you go on the road and that's your millions of dollars that these people you know comedians are making on the road when you're selling out Beacon Theatres, Carnegie Hall when you're selling out The Garden. This is like this is big bucks. So it's a big big business for a lot of people that really have you know made it and are able to tour around the country. Can we talk about the business of comedy and I think about you know last December your iconic club right you did not renew your lease it's spot in Times Square. How hard was that? You know I wanted to stay and then there was a part of me which did not to want stay because of the way and I'm out I don't want to put down Times Square because I went there thirty years ago to build it up and I was part of that the renovation of Times Square and full the of renewal Times Square. So I'm not going to put it down but things were changing there the city was changing I felt that after COVID the whole seascape there was changing and I I said said let me step back I own the brand I want to take the brand I'm extending it through the festival and we then have other ideas where we're going with that. Okay give us some of those other ideas. Yeah well you know we're taking the Caroline's brand and you know kind of producing content and putting it out there and specials and everything else that we do with comedy on a grander scale. I mean it really was the end of an era for you not to renew your lease there. Well yeah yeah I was there 30 years in Times Square. So I mean Times Square changed a lot in 30 years and it changed a lot just in a few years because of the pandemic. Talk to us a little bit about the you know what happened and the decision -making process and the external factors there too. Okay so obviously I went to my landlord and I go listen we need some relief here. You know things have changed a lot so can you? He goes no Actually we really want to raise the rent. So I said oh but you know there's so many repairs that have to be done. I'm here for 30 years you know air conditioning electrical work right just things needed to be upgraded and he said well that's just what the deal is and I tried very hard to stay there and then he just said well I'm out of here now. I'm done. I have other things to Did do. you look for other physical spaces? No but I have to tell you that we had so much press when we closed that so many real estate developers called me and said I have spaces for you and I will even help you build it out.
Stuff You Should Know
A highlight from Selects: How Air Traffic Control Works
"Or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everybody. This is your captain, Charles W. Chuck Bryant. We're flying the friendly skies here in April. Looks like 2012 with an episode on how air traffic control works. So the seatbelt sign is off. You can recline. You can move about the cabin freely. You can gaze at stinky bathroom with a terrible sounding toilet flush if you wish. If I were you, I would hold it. But please listen to this episode. Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. This is Josh Clark. I'm with you alongside me is Charles W. Chuck Bryant. We're about to take this joint 33 ,000 feet into the air. About to push some tin. Yeah. That's the lingo. It is. I've seen Pushing Tin as well. Yeah, I saw that movie. I assume that's the lingo. Otherwise, they probably would not have titled it thusly. You could also, that could be about like a car driving movie too. Somebody who has like a pretty good radio flyer wagon. There's a lot of things that they could apply. Or a recycling movie. Yeah. Pushing Tin. Yes. We're speaking of the 1999 Mike Newell flick with Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack. Cusack. Yeah, that's where John Cusack and Angelina Jolie met and ended up getting married. You mean Billy Bob Thornton? No, I'm pretty sure it's John Cusack. Yeah, I didn't think it was very good. Are you kidding? Did you like it? It was all right. All right. I have to admit that movies that I thought were awesome in the late 90s. When I go back and watch them now, I'm usually like... Not as great. Yeah, there's very few that hold up. I'm trying to think of one that I saw again recently that did hold up. I'm going to sit here for a while until I think of it. It wasn't Pushing Tin though. I don't know. I haven't seen it for a while. Well, in the movie, they were air traffic controllers. Yes. And that's what we're going to talk about today. So that's how Pushing Tin relates to this one. Right? I thought I'd clear that up in case people were like, what are they talking about again? You got any other good air traffic control movies? Well, Airplane. Yeah, of course. Lloyd Bridges. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop, stiff, and glue. Yeah. Other than that, I have nothing. What about all the real airport movies? Oh, sure. Yeah. Airport 70, Airport 75, 77. 83, 94, The Grungiers.
Abundant Encounters
Fresh update on "josh" discussed on Abundant Encounters
"Hi, you're listening to the Abundant Encounters Podcast and this is Mary Marcengill. We're so honored to have you and just quickly before we get started, I wanted to remind you to rate this podcast and give positive reviews anywhere you're listening, Apple, Google and others. Just talk about what you're experiencing or especially any encounters that you felt like you had during an episode. Also, we'd really appreciate it if you could take five seconds right now to pray for our podcast and ministry to succeed. Five seconds might not sound like much, but we believe that our collective prayers will make a massive difference and protect and prosper these ministries efforts to glorify and exalt Jesus. Our hope is simple, that people have real encounters with Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. Please join us now for just five seconds to pray. Thank you so much. Here's Josh. Thanks for joining us on a new episode of the Abundant Encounters Podcast. My name is Joshua Marcengill. I'm excited about what God is about to do. He is so faithful and he loves encountering his kids. I'm so excited to talk to the sons and daughters of God. We share a beautiful inheritance. It's bountiful, abundant and it is the Father and it's heaven's supply and it's worth our attention. It deserves our value. And when we begin to bring that within our intentionality, maybe we, it's like the size of a tiny cloud in the sky, you know, it just grows until it becomes a full on deluge. It's called stewardship. It's this concept of stewarding. But when we steward not just the resources of earth, but the resources of heaven, then we get heaven's fruitfulness and reward. That's what Jesus paid for. And I pray that's coming to you right now where you're at, that you can even feel the increase coming in like a flood. Yes, Lord, let the deluge begin, the spiritual outpouring, the refreshing, the reconnection to you, to the family of God. Let that begin right now and I'll pray, Lord Jesus, thank you. Let me just enter your gates with thanksgiving. Thank you so much. Thank you that you're real and thank you that you don't hold back from us. You're not holding anything back from us. In fact, you did a light in us moving towards you, you're running towards us with a ring and a rope. You are ready to bring us into our full inheritance. We can start cutting checks for the family and we are in this thing. I mean, you are fully invested in us. Thank you, Lord. Thank you so much. And I take authority that you so generously gave to me, Jesus, and I take that authority and I say, in Jesus' name, anything that's trying to hinder this time, create distractions or obstructions, just cancel your assignment. We have no time for you, no patience for you. You just get removed right now in Jesus' name. That's it, done. And Holy Spirit, come and fill that space. Ministering angels, come and fill that space. Just come and bring hope, peace, life, abundance. Thank you, Jesus. And thank you, Father God. Amen. You know, we've been doing this a lot on this podcast lately, but it's important to be present with God. He values our presence as much as we value his presence because he knows this is a busy world. He knows he's aware. He's not unaware of our challenges as human beings. And so, in understanding that about him, let's just begin to just be present with him right now. One way that I found that's helpful for me to do it, and lots of people use this, and Christians use this, which I think is important because there are wrong ways to do meditation. We don't want to open ourselves up to demons. We want to fill ourselves up with the holy presence of our Father, with the terrain of his robe. So, as we practice any type of mindfulness, we make sure that our mind is getting full with his fullness. Thank you, Jesus. And so, just begin to breathe in the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Holy Spirit. And just begin to feel him inside. So, this is your spirit, man, your soul, and your body, all experiencing it. We're not compartmentalized. We're one. And as you're one, just begin to feel him, sense him, check on your emotions. How are you feeling right now? Check in with your body as the Holy Spirit's in your lungs, he's in your chest, he's in your legs. You just check in with your hands and fingers, your arms, shoulders. I thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Amen. And so, being here, let's keep ourselves here. Let's keep ourselves tuned in to the Holy Spirit and his activity inside of us. And if you go off, it's totally okay. It's just bringing yourself back. So, it's not about condemnation or trying to say what we can't do. It's just bringing ourselves back. And what you'll do is you'll actually, you'll flex a muscle and it'll get stronger and stronger and you'll be able to focus. And that's so powerful to do that with the Lord. Yeah. And just pull yourself back. If you find yourself trailing off, just pull yourself back. There's the Holy Spirit. So, we believe faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So, we're reading, right now, we're in a series called The Rescuer. And right now, we're in that series in large part because my wife and I are in a situation where we are needing to believe God for his amazing ability to rescue us. And maybe you're in a situation like that or maybe you know you've been around in life long enough to know that you probably will be at some point. So, it's good or maybe you know other people that need that. But so, we went through the story of Noah and we went through that in a few episodes. And then, now we're in the story of Joseph. And Joseph is such a powerful story. And it's just a beautiful sense of both growth and maturity. He grows and he matures in front of us. And so, I believe that as we read through this, you'll begin to feel your faith arise from within you because he's just so, such a man of character. And he ends up saving the day, of course, when we know the story. But it's just nice to hear it. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So, you get two things. You get an increase in faith and hearing ears. And so, with those things, after we read through chapter 39, we'll go into an activation. And we'll talk about that and go into an activation. And I believe you'll continue to have encounters with God. Amen. So, we're in the Passion Translation. And we're skipping chapter 38, if you're curious. That's the story of Judah and Tamar. And so, we're just going to skip that. It's a beautiful story. But we want to focus on Joseph here. So, this is where Joseph saves Potiphar. After the Ishmaelite traders brought Joseph down to Egypt, he was purchased by an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the god, whose name was Potiphar. Yahweh's presence was with Joseph, and he became successful while living in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master realized that Yahweh's presence was with Joseph, and caused everything he did to prosper, Joseph found a favor with Potiphar. He was quickly promoted to become the overseer of Potiphar's house, and was put in charge of all that he had. From the moment Potiphar appointed Joseph over his household, Yahweh blessed the Egyptians' affairs for Joseph's sake. The blessing of Yahweh was upon everything Potiphar owned. His finances increased, his crops flourished, and his flocks and herds multiplied. So Potiphar placed all that he owned under Joseph's oversight, and with Joseph in charge, Potiphar had nothing to worry about except deciding on what to eat. Joseph and Potiphar's wife. Now Joseph was strikingly handsome, very good looking, and well built. It wasn't long before his master's wife noticed Joseph. She demanded, Come, make love to me. Never, Joseph replied, Don't you realize that my master has nothing to worry about with me in charge? For he has put everything he has under my care. There is no one greater in his household than me, nor has he kept anything back from me except you, because you're his wife. Why would I want to do such an immoral thing and sin against God? Yet day after day, she was determined to seduce him. But Joseph continually refused her advances and would not even go near her. Then one day, when he had to go into the house to do his work, and no one else was there, she grabbed him by his robe and said, Come on, sleep with me. But he abruptly ran out of the house, leaving his robe in her hands. Realizing he had fled and she was holding his robe in her hands, she called for her household servants and said to them, See, my husband brings this Hebrew foreigner here to make fools of us. He barged into my house and tried to have sex with me, and I screamed. And when he heard my scream from help, he ran out of the house and left his robe. She kept the robe beside her until his master came home and she told him the same story. This Hebrew foreigner you brought among us barged into the house and tried to violate me. As soon as I screamed out for help, he ran outside and left his robe here beside me. Joseph goes to prison. When his master heard his wife's account about how his servant had treated her, he became furious. So Joseph's master took him and threw him into prison, the place where the king's prisoners are confined, and he was left there. But Yahweh was with Joseph and demonstrated to him his faithful love by giving him great favor in the sight of the warden. The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph's care. He was placed in charge of all the prisoners and everything in the prison. The warden had no worries about the prison with Joseph in charge, because Yahweh's presence was with Joseph and caused everything Joseph did to prosper. Just love this story and it's so powerful just thinking about just this illustration of how God is explaining to us that when his presence is there, you notice, people around you will notice. And things should be changing for the better. And even in the hard situations though, you gotta make sure we understand that we're in a fallen world. Joseph was in a fallen world. But in this fallen world, even in the prison, he is a carrier of heaven's supply. And through the presence of God, he's releasing that supply everywhere he goes. Which makes him rich and all these kind of things in this culture. It was very valuable for someone to have the presence of God. And in our culture today, it still is. I've experienced a lot of favor in my life since becoming a Christian. That was really eye-catching and obvious. But one of the most powerful experiences that my wife and I have ever had was when we decided to follow our peace and move to Selma, Alabama. It was in 2020 so things were weird for everybody. So we just went with it. We were like, I don't know what's going on. And we had this elaborate plan to move to the beach. And Selma is not a good alternative to the beach. Selma is an impoverished area. It's a beautiful history and civil rights and just so many reasons to visit. But a hard place to go and live for sure here in America. And for American standards, it's actually a very impoverished area. And it just feels like you're in a real hard third world country on days. And so it's not an easy decision to move to Selma, Alabama. Especially when the beach was on the table. We actually had jobs lined up and everything there. But we just knew that we didn't have peace. And as disappointed as I was that there was no peace in moving to the beach, I just knew, okay, my wife is not having peace. I'm not having peace. What is the story here? God, what do you want us to do? And he basically explained to us that he wanted us to move to Selma. Through peace, that was his communication tool. So the thought of Selma came up. We thought, what about Selma? And our peace returned. And that contrast allowed us to make a decision that we should call our friend in Selma and see if there was anything that he needed us for. And of course, he did. He had an internship that we could move right into. And we had some money saved up, and so we moved. And at the very beginning, we noticed a tremendous amount of favor. It was unlike the place that we had been where, as some might say, the grace had kind of lifted a little bit in our previous situation, which had let us know that we needed to move on. But when we came into Selma, there was so much favor. People had genuine joy for us to even be here. We just felt like, wow, we made the best decision ever in moving. Because people were so wholeheartedly received us. And ever since we've lived here, my wife and I bought our first house here. And we've made good money here, and we've helped a lot of people. We've just done amazing things for the Kingdom of God, and we've been a part of so many things here. And we've built organizations and established different things here that are flourishing now. And I've never experienced favor like that. But I've had the presence since the beginning, since I first got saved. And even before that, really, I just didn't know. But now I'm aware of it, and I'm experiencing these things. And I love Graham Cooke. Graham Cooke says when we experience another level of favor, then it's an upgrade. So it's not like something that comes and goes. It's not that there aren't seasons. It's just that when you get upgraded, you get to keep it. I almost hesitate when I talk about seasons, because so many Christians take this overboard. I want to encourage you, Jesus already did the desert season for us, so you don't have to go back in the desert if you don't want to. We can live more like Joseph, where even when we're in a prison, we're experiencing the presence and favor of our loving Father. Jesus paid an awful lot to make sure that we would always have the most valuable thing that there is in existence, and that's the Father. When we come into that, we realize that, then it shapes us. He becomes our home. And so maybe I feel like today, the activation, we just need to ask some questions about where you are. It might be your actual location, but it also might be a project that you're working on, or just something that you feel really unsure. And God really is holding those answers, and we get to hear from Him. And that's what encounter is all about. It's about connection to the Father. So when we ask Him questions, He does respond. And I want to encourage you, there's some different ways that God speaks. It's really interesting to think about God is spirit part, right? So as a spirit being, He speaks spirit, just in the same way as if you went to a different country where they spoke French. They're not just French people, but they speak French. And as a spirit being, He speaks spirit. So sometimes, yes, He does use English, and that's wonderful. Sometimes He's audible. People have experienced that again and again throughout history, and so it's not an uncommon thing. And if that's something that you feel like you need, I'm sure God knows that you need that. But there's just so many ways that He does speak. And so what we're looking for is more like impressions. Like I said, it could be any way that God wants to, because He's so unique, and He knows us so well. He knows exactly what we need. So there's no like cookie-cut, this is the way it happens. But when you follow the impressions that come after you ask God questions, then that's when things start to open up for you as an individual in the Lord. So He cares about your personality. He created that personality. He thought about who you were, and He fearfully made you. He paid attention to every detail. He thinks about you all the time. So inside of that understanding, we know that God knows how to speak to us. It's not on us to figure it out. Sometimes we make this thing too hard. He knows exactly who we are and how to speak to us. So as we go into this, I just wanted to kind of prepare you for that, because maybe you're here because you aren't experiencing a lot of God, and you've come to the right place. I was an atheist, and I thought for sure that God was something that could not be experienced. And He taught me different, that's for sure. And He showed me, and He had me pay attention to what was different. And what I found really was that it's a lot easier than we think to talk and experience God. God's not short on encounters. He's reaching out to us. He really wants us to have these moments with Him. He's so generous. He's not holding anything back from you. Amen. All right, so let's just begin to jump into this. Thank you, Father, for your Holy Spirit and your presence. Thank you, Father. We connect to you right now. We just pull ourselves back into home base, which is Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus. I want you to begin to picture the Father, Father God, if you can. Start with what you know, and just begin to use your imagination. We're going to hand our imagination over now to the Father and just say, Hey, can you use this for me? Can you use this right now to communicate with me? And just in that little prayer, we're already in a really safe place with the Lord. And remember, in the New Testament, we do look on the Father's face because it is good to die to self, to completely die in this New Testament reality. And so don't hold back from your imagination. Don't stop your imagination from communicating or helping you communicate and process what God is sharing with you. So just begin to imagine the Father. He's happy. He's a fully satisfied God. Nothing to be afraid of here. I want to encourage you. He's not like your earthly dad. You know, maybe he had a great dad, but he's even better than that. Maybe he didn't have a good dad. And so you just think that God's going to show up kind of like your dad was. But that's never the case. He's fully satisfied. Why? Because Jesus paid the full and entire price. He has satisfaction. He wants nothing from you. He wants everything for you. He doesn't need you. He wants you. So take a look at this amazing God of ours, this Father. Just ask him. So maybe you've got something there and you're just visualizing it. Stay on that. Just ask him, Father God, can I come closer to you? Father God, will you show me your glory? And again, what are the impressions that you're experiencing? So maybe you need to follow something in a slightly different way than the way that I'm kind of directing. And that's perfectly, you know, great. That's so great. Follow the impressions. Just ask the Lord about them when you don't understand. Yea God, you speak to your kids. I just feel like he's so happy right now. Maybe that's a prophetic feeling that I'm having. I just feel like he's so happy. He wants to share his joy with you. Yea. So ask him, Father God, what are you happy about? Amen. And you might want to write that down if you heard something or got an impression. You want to keep those things and steward that kind of stuff. Keep asking the Father some questions. I've got a few questions I want to help you with. Remember, we want to go after this thing. This change that may need to be. It's like, Father God, I feel this change coming. Am I wrong about that? Just look for the impression. Maybe he just said it to you, just heard that still small voice inside, just right away. Maybe it was an impression. Some people just notice a color change. Anything. But follow it up with questions. Thank you, Lord. So what does that mean? And describe what you're seeing to him. Say, Father God, I'm seeing this color change I'm seeing. It went from a hue of pink to a blue or something. What are you trying to communicate to me through that? Just be willing to experiment with the Father. He's okay with you not getting it right. He's not angry at you. We have to remember that the things that he does communicate to us, they will play out. They will play out. We'll see them in the scriptures. We'll be able to share with our friends and things like that. Maybe, hey, sometimes they might think we're crazy for trying things and stuff like that. But good friends won't. They'll encourage us. But they'll also be able to see, like, hey, something's a little off with the way you're thinking on that. So it's important to have community. Yeah. So, Father God, I need to know what steps you're inspecting me to take here. Is there anything that you can reveal to me now? He's probably a little better than you think, and so just begin to think bigger. Let the walls of our box that we placed around him in any way, shape, or form just fall off. Yeah. More, Lord. Father God, your word is pretty clear that you don't necessarily tell us everything, but it does say that you'll tell us what the next step is, that you're a lamp to my feet. So, Father God, I ask within the line of the scriptures that I'm currently thinking about, and I ask, what's next? Ask him this to say, Father God, is there anything that I'm missing in my relationship with you right now? Is there anything that you'd want to give me to fill up that emptiness or that missing part? What's a gift you'd want to give me, Father? Yeah, for some of you, in your imagination, you might want to just take a look. You're holding a present.

You should know a production of I heart radio Hey and welcome to the podcast I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry's here too and this is stuff you should know the podcast about revenge We've done an episode on it was like a top 10 on cases legendary cases of revenge Oh, yeah, I remember that but we didn't talk much about Revenge itself and I feel it was high time. We've been dancing around it for decades now And here we are I Thought this is a great idea. So kudos to you because it Dave helped us out with this one and it's a lot of like science and studies have Sort of and I'm not gonna spoil anything but have sort of About revenge and what it means for the person getting the revenge. Yeah, I think most people How we feel about revenge it's from watching movies and it's like deeply satisfying to watch the Bad guy who deserves revenge get get their comeuppance right sure is or even be killed Just like yes that guy deserved that kind of thing. But in reality carrying out acts of revenge or They just it's not like the movies I guess is what I'm trying to say and yet there's a lot of evidence of revenge in real life so much so that the New York Police Department came out with a study in 2012 and Found out that 42 % of the homicides in New York were motivated by revenge man, so and that actually kind of underscores like a problem with revenge is That when you enact vengeance on somebody and you leave them alive almost Invariably that person feels like you overdid What in response to what they they did it was disproportionate. So now they have to strike back again And it can go back and forth until somebody dies or else somebody can die right away is the first act of revenge But the the point of the whole thing is is that once you do carry out revenge no matter if it's petty exciting somebody up for spam or Killing somebody in response to whatever Slight like road rage. They cut you off in in traffic. You don't feel good afterward You actually feel worse and that's the underlying point of this entire episode Yeah, you know my my favorite petty I don't do it, but my favorite petty revenge to witnesses It's pin and it's so dumb Everyone just settle down is on a highway when someone Is on an expressway and they clean their windows and it gets all over the car behind them Yeah, I see people all the time race in front of that person and do the same thing. Oh my god, really? Yeah, that is Petty that is Tom Petty. That's not Tom Petty because somebody was great That's just petty and I also wanted to say to you talked about Revenge coming back harder or whatever Emily has her own personal Saying like when we're messing around and I like I will do something to her Or I'll say something kind of mean as a joke. She'll she'll eviscerate me if it is and she calls it coming back double She goes I come back double. Oh boy I was one of those people that Think she gets pushed in the corner and is and man she comes out hard So it's it's a good trait and it can and one to be wary of at the same time Yes, I'm suddenly way more wary of Emily than I was before luckily I stayed on her good side You wouldn't come at Emily. Anyway, you're smart. No, so There's a lot of questions revolving around revenge if if the if we know for a fact It feels good to think about but then feels bad to do. Mm -hmm Despite the fact that when we're thinking about it, we're like this is going to feel good It's not the act of thinking about it. That feels good It's fantasizing about how good it's gonna feel to get that person back And set the universe right again to do all sorts of things that revenge allegedly does and it turns out When you carry out an act of revenge you are playing the chump to evolution and on behalf of society as a whole and That's kind of like the whole basis of a revenge. There's a Extensively in the animal kingdom and it really collides with the the modern evolved humans That live in these complex societies. We've formed today When you get those two things together an interesting podcast comes out. That's right what you're talking about the animal kingdom is also called retaliatory aggression and that is the idea that So let's say a lion mama goes out and kills an animal To leave for her little cubs to eat Another animal is like oh, you know Let me see if I could sneak in there eat some of that too The mama lion doesn't just scare this thing off to preserve that meat for the kids The mama lion goes and hunts down and kills that animal. Yes, that's good. They come back double Emily style Right. I mean like the the problem solved the hyena has been chased away But to leave your kids and go find it and kill it. That's that is Seems only retaliatory aggressive. Yeah, and this next one too. I'm gonna mention These are interesting because it made me sort of question the idea of revenge versus punishment Right because I think those are different things. Yeah, the rhesus monkey We've talked a lot about their vocalizations like they're all about the group or they should be at least and like when they find food Let's say they will tell everyone. Hey, I found food But if a rhesus monkey is ever like, you know I'm gonna have a little bit of this first before I call out and if they find that out There's a punishment for that rhesus monkey. I don't think they kill it But there is a punishment and this is the idea that these retaliatory aggressions are Deterrence it's like a punishment for everyone to see to prevent future transgressions like hey, did you hyena see that? Did you other rhesus monkey see that? So that you know would be an advantageous thing Evolutionarily speaking so that gene gets passed on Yeah Because the more the more you're prone to do that the the likelier you are to not have food stolen from you for your kids The likelier it is for your kids to survive and and your lineage to survive. So it makes sense Evolutionarily speaking this retaliatory aggression does at least right? Yeah, which I would still argue is punishment more than revenge. I Absolutely, I think you're absolutely right and there's a there's a story a couple of stories of Tigers actually engaging in what can only be described as revenge and it's very much up in the air whether what we're witnessing is actual revenge, but like you know, like there was a very famous story out of Russia where like a poacher not only shot a But also took some of their kill and that the tiger tracked the guy down found his his little lodging destroyed everything you could find in lodging and then waited outside for the hunter to come back and then kill them and that the Tiger managed to hold this idea in his head Or I think it was a her her head for up to maybe 24 hours after the the hunter shot her There's a there's a couple of stories out there that seem to pertain to Tigers Specifically that it's almost like it does contain an emotional component to it, but for the most part Yes, it's it's solving in a problem and then maybe preventing future problems among the animals Yeah, you know one of my favorite sayings is revenge is a meal best served cold Yeah, I don't know why cuz I'm not a revenge guy really, but I just I think that it's just such a great saying I just like it, you know, there's something about like oh, no, no The real revenge is like when you wait around for a while Oh, yeah, and then when you would might not be suspected you come back and take that revenge Yeah, because if you just immediately do it in response, you're a hothead and a dummy anybody can do that But just sit there and really stew on it and figure out the best way to really get back at the person that takes intellect Yeah, I agree and a little bit of craziness.

Fresh update on "josh" discussed on Demo 1 - NaviLens
"Hello everyone! Welcome to your weekly tech update, the show that explores the newest, coolest, and sometimes mind-boggling side of tech available on the interwebs. I am your host, Ray McNeil. Coming up on the program today, Google Meet video calls are getting a Zoom-like layout. Impossible Foods rolls out to nearly one thousand new grocery stores and supermarkets, and will take your mind off the world and put a smile on your face with this week's Moment of Joy. That and a whole lot more coming up on today's edition of your weekly tech update, next. Google Meet will undergo huge changes over the next few weeks as the tech giant rushes to make it a more viable alternative to Zoom. To start with, the video conferencing tool is now directly accessible from within Gmail for business and education users. Those who prefer Zoom for its gallery-like layout that can show up to 25 participants at once would probably be more excited to get another feature coming later this month. Google will roll out a new layout option that can display up to 16 participants. There's already a Chrome extension that can mimic the Zoom feature for Meet, but its official release means there's no need for a workaround anymore. The company will also enhance Meet's video quality in dim lighting and its ability to filter out background noise in the coming weeks. In addition, an upcoming feature will allow users to display a specific tab open on their Chrome browser during a call. Zoom recently enjoyed a surge in popularity due to a shelter-at-home order, but it suffered from various privacy issues that has prompted a lot of organizations. including several school districts in the U.S. to ban it outright. With these changes, Meet could become a new decent alternative to Zoom, especially since its premium features are free to use until September 30th. Disney set the streaming-only premiere date for live-action sci-fi fantasy Artemis Fowl on its Disney Plus service worldwide, hoping it gives more juice to the subscription VOD product while all of the theaters are closed. Artemis Fowl, directed by Kenneth Branagh, will be exclusively available on Disney Plus beginning on Friday, June 12th. It had originally been set for a May 29th theatrical debut. Based on the best-selling book by Irish author Ian Culfer, Artemis Fowl follows the journey of a 12-year-old criminal mastermind as he desperately tries to save his kidnapped father. Artemis must infiltrate an ancient underground civilization of fairies and track down the Oculus, the fairies' most powerful and coveted magical device, to pay the ransom. In a statement, Branagh said that Artemis Fowl would be as proud as I am that families around the world will now be able to enjoy his first amazing screen adventures together on Disney Plus. Artemis Fowl stars newcomer Ferdia Shaw in the title role, alongside Laura Macdonald, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozzi, Josh Maguire, Nikesh Patel, and Adrian Scarborough, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench. Branagh and Judi Hofflin are producing, with Angus Moore Gordon and Matthew Jenkins serving as executive producers. Connor McPherson and Hamish McCall wrote the screenplay. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, Disney has postponed nearly every one of its forthcoming movie releases, including Black Widow, Mulan, The New Mutants, The Eternals, Jungle Cruise, and Indiana Jones 5. The media conglomerate is betting that Artemis Fowl will draw more subscribers into Disney Plus, which surpassed 50 million paying customers worldwide in its first five months of service. That's been buoyed by its recent launch in India and eight Western European countries, along with the early release of Frozen 2 on the subscription service. In the U.S., Disney Plus is $6.99 monthly, or $69.99 for a one-year subscription.

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

Can I say something very quickly since this is short stuff? Sure Right before we recorded you said Dakota Fanning and that reminded me I just got back from New York and I had six celebrity sightings One of which was Elle Fanning. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's in the lobby of a hotel. I go in that hotel to pee I'm always got my head on a swivel in that town, especially in fancy hotel lobbies Sure, and I was like, hey, this is Dakota Fanning and I was like she was sitting with people I was like, there's got to be somebody else famous went to the bathroom came out sitting next to Jessica Chastain Wow, pretty major sighting then at one of my pavement shows I saw Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig Yeah, they're married okay Wow say so power couple yeah, I mean he co -wrote Barbie with her and Dean Wareham of Luna, they're all good friends and they were all together So that was a three banger in one and this this lady near me was jumping up and down like screaming it at Greta Gerwig and she was very sweet from up above in the balcony and like made the little heart symbol and like said she Loved her was very sweet. Oh, that's sweet. And then sat next to Tiffany Haddish on the way on the flight home Wow She was a girl across the aisle from me. Did you but did you bug her the whole time? No, I didn't say anything. Were you like, hey, hey Tiffany, you remember this one joke you told? Layers She's great though. She's very pretty too. Yeah. Yes. It is. Wonderful. I like that voice. She's got that sort of a low voice kind of like this I'm Tiffany Haddish. That's right Okay. All right. We got to go cuz we're talking the Dakota here and not Dakota fanning or Elle fanning No, the apartment building in New York City. That's right. The one where John Lennon was shot in front of Live there. No, no. No, he lived there and he was he was shot on the sidewalk outside the Dakota. So That's not the only reason the Dakota's famous. Although it's probably the biggest reason the Dakota's famous One of the reasons that Dakota is famous is because it was one of the first apartment buildings in New York City like they didn't do apartments back then and even more spectacular than that it being one of the first apartment buildings is that it was Plunked down in the Upper West Side at a time when Central Park West one of the most What is it white healed high healed? Well healed well healed like Bits of stretches of real estate in the world was a dirt road still and nowhere's Phil nowhere Yep, nobody wanted to go up that far. They're like, there's nothing up there That's right. Hey seeds in in fact, it was so far out that The guy who built the Dakota who will meet in the second Edward Cabot Clark bought it from an industrialist Whose wife threatened to divorce him if he built their house out there and he's like, I don't just get rid of this piece of Land then yeah, she's like I want to live down here where it's posh in alphabet city You know, it's funny is if you you remember if you go read our book There's a whole chapter on keeping up with the Joneses in it Oh, yeah talks a lot about this part of of New York history where there are all sorts of nowhere's Ville's around that today are just like incredibly and famous Expensive that's right. All right, so the Dakota like you said people were not living in apartments at the time they were living in brownstones, which were single -family homes and There were a couple like a couple started to spring up in the 1870s They weren't great. They were Kind of like you think of New York apartments. They were small. They didn't have a lot of light People didn't love renting And living in them and along came this guy Edward Cabot Clark that you mentioned He was the president of the Singer sewing machine company So he was loaded and he got together with an architect named Henry Janeway Hardenberg a great name and to get into real estate and the first thing they built which is sadly not there anymore is Kind of a prototype for the Dakota called the van Corlier a red brick five -story 36 apartment building that was on 7th between 55th and 56 Yeah, and it immediately improved on its predecessors Because the rooms were larger the apartments themselves were larger. There was a courtyard. So there was plenty of like natural light and air Had elevators apparently which are we're talking like the 1880s 1870s and there was also I think a What was there oh there was a ramp that went beneath it so then You didn't have to solely your family reputation by accepting deliveries out there in public You could go down to the basement and meet the delivery driver to get them to take whatever they gave you Yeah, and it was just nicer overall I think there was a an intercom system and you know, like Spanish tile. It was just it was just a step up for sure and all of a sudden in 1878 They rented out very quickly and so Clark was like, alright it turns out if you if you build it nice enough they will come and Apartments can be a real thing and like you said bought that property or I guess it was just land at the time, right? Yeah, yeah bought this land from Jacob Henry Schiff way way uptown and Decided to build his second Sort of dream property there. Yep, which would be the Dakota and I say that we pause for a message break and then return and begin talking about the Dakota some more and Tiffany Haddish right after this I'm Jonathan Strickland host of the podcast tech stuff I sat down with Sunun Shahani of Surfare Mobility, which recently went public We talked about flying and electric planes and regional air mobility The future of travel doesn't have to include crowded airports cramps seats or long road trips It can be as simple as using an app to book a short -range flight on an electric plane Learn more on tech stuff on the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast This episode of stuff you should know is brought to you by t -mobile for business Hey everybody have you ever been driving around looking for a parking spot getting more and more irritated and you think why can't I just Look up parking spaces around my area I mean like wouldn't that make sense and if you find the spot faster You're going to create less traffic and in that sense Everybody's life is made better just by the ability to look up a parking spot.

It had big apartments big rooms Courtyard lots of light Ramp underneath and all that stuff, but it was also like even more Luxuriously designed like if you came over to someone's apartment, you couldn't see through down the hallway to every single room the walls were kind of like designed around so that you couldn't like there was a Separation between your visitors in the living part of the apartment or the sleeping part, you know the family part I guess is what you call it just little details like that Another big detail is that it had its own power plant that generated electricity for it in the 1870s Yeah, not bad the kitchens had little balconies so if you had stinky stuff like garbage that you couldn't get down or Maybe even stinky food or something. You could put it just right outside the kitchen, which was something that a lot of places didn't have Yeah, they had a boiler So they had insulated pipes bringing steam and hot water into the building Which was a big innovation at the time and they had tennis courts. They had croquet courts It was it was a real gym. It still is it's one of my favorite buildings in New York Every time I go up there to Central Park, at least I try to pop out on that area and just go go Give it a look Because it's a beautiful building. It's sort of a mishmash of styles It's been called, you know, French Renaissance or got German Gothic or even Victorian and it's kind of a little bit of everything But it's it's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen it in person if I have I didn't realize it You may have it's it's lovely. It's right there on a corner. So here's the thing when Edward Cabot Clark was creating the Dakota He was widely derided for it. They called it Clark's Folly because people were deeply insensitive in the 19th century and the reason why they call it that is because again, it's in the middle of nowhere and People aren't really into apartments Like we said they live in like three -story Brownstones like they live in homes They don't live in apartments the people who lived in apartments as far as this house stuff works article points out were widows Widowers and people who are waiting for their wealthy relatives to die so they could inherit their house And all of a sudden Clark is like no. No, we're changing the game Anyone who is anyone is gonna want to live in an apartment and it turns out his gamble paid off. He was right Yeah, he sadly he died before it was finished So he didn't get to see it come to fruition But it was certainly not his folly because like you said people lined up to rent these things or I guess I don't know were they all rentals at the time. I wonder if anyone were available for sale. I think they were all rentals Okay, well people rented him, but they were people that had money. They just weren't like robber barons who wanted to live in mansions They were they were sort of the early New York, you know upper class They were people who like were bank presidents and people who like the CEOs of the time, right? Apparently the Adams sisters were heirs to a chewing gum Fortune they live there with it and that flavor tea berry one of the greatest gum flavors of all time. That's a Was it tea berry? Now, are you kidding? Cuz I can't tell no. No, that's for real. It's like a Kind of salmon pink colored Gum, no, no the the wrapper is okay It tastes like salmon too. No, it's a really delicate unique flavor and you could probably find it like Cracker Barrel Don't they have all sorts of old -timey candies or one of those rocket fizz places? I have no idea anywhere that sells candy I'll bet they have tea berry stick gum and it's really worth trying. All right Nice tip there. Thanks. So The Dakota started a trend all of a sudden luxury apartment houses started popping up all over the place Kind of in the same model with like bigger rooms and higher ceilings and stuff like that and the Upper West Side it wasn't right then but around the early 1900s that really started to take off and Really changed the face of New York of New York, you know, they they started building up more after World War one, obviously when New York said they could and Apartments became the way to go. Yeah Eventually, the the Dakota started seeing a different clientele not you know Straights and squares like bank presidents but like stars like Lauren Bacall and Judy Garland Wowie Wow horse Karloff, too That's pretty cool Imagine living next to him and then of course two of the most famous residents John Lennon and Yoko Oh, no Is blamed widely for moving John Lennon to the Dakota and he would have lived had she not done that Do people say that? Probably somebody out there. Okay poking fun at those people. No, I think he loved the Dakota Yeah, it would seem to be his home. They were there for like a dozen years. I think right before he died I'm not sure how long he loved New York City though. It was it was a great scene for both. He and Yoko. Yep You anything else? I got nothing else go check out the Dakota if you're in New York It's a great great looking building.

Like, most of the year is incredibly humid, but September, October, November, that's when it's the good stuff. Well, people didn't come on this podcast to hear about the weather. They came to hear about head and shoulders. We always start with the weather. I know. It's like a podcast faux pas, but we do it anyway. It's the human experience. There's a head and shoulders on like every market on all timeframes. Like, you can't not see it. ETH, Bitcoin, S &P, Qs, any risk market, we'll put it like that, any risk market looks very, very toppy still to me. What are your thoughts on, you know, as we enter our 37th week as macro LARPing traders? Yeah, well, this continues to tell a story, right? Dollar legitimately been up only on a weekly basis for more than two months. Hold on, hold on. Jeff in the chat said. Jeff, were you listening for your show? We were just discussing the accelerated aging of Ryan in the show. I feel like I feel like the bear market is hitting me in every possible way right now. Sorry, continue. Yeah, I'm I'm going to be very gray and old and wrinkly if I make it through another cycle. Anyway, the Dixie is up. Yield. You know what I realized this week? Back to the Dixie for a sec. I realized that the Euro chart, Euro USD is basically the Bitcoin chart. So if you're rooting for Bitcoin, you're basically rooting for the Euro chart. I don't know how that's going to work out. It's not the team I want to be on right now. No, I agree. I don't know how that's going to work out for us because that Euro chart looks bad, quite awful. Yeah, that's bad. So I keep that in mind generally for people, you know, if you see some good news or positive news in Euro land, which I think is rare these days, it should generally signal wellness for Bitcoin. Yeah. Well, it's mostly that dollar strength. It's just not. Yeah, it's all it's all just the same thing. Right. Yeah, exactly. We titled the show Rate Pause because rate hikes were paused. So this is the first time in quite some time that we've gone into FOMC with no change. The result of that was you start to see the 30 year kind of catching up to the two year because they also said that they are planning on staying high for longer. So we're not going to do the thing where we just immediately start going into cuts. And so, yeah, it may not have the desired effect that people might expect by a rate pause. At this point, holding rates at this level is restrictive eventually, right? It gets more and more restrictive as the lower interest rate that like rolls into this new environment, you know? Right. But I think it's honestly, I agree with the Fed. I think keeping it here and doing a wait and see type attitude makes more sense than keep raising and then panic cutting when the time comes. I think you have a potential to break a little less in this regard. I think they should have paused a while back and should have started way before they did. But nevertheless, the idea of pausing but not committing to a cut, I think is reasonable. Well, the markets didn't get angry at pausing. The markets got angry because they hinted at two more hikes still. So if that actually happens, I don't think it will. Look, I'm a chaos agent. I say go all the way, right? Pedal to the metal, no half measures. If you want to kill the economy, go for it. So yeah, let's do two more. Let's do one in November, one in February, whatever. I don't know. I think the consensus, though, is that markets aren't going to last that long. Markets being the economy, I guess. But the economy just isn't going to last and hold up through that. So unemployment is going to tick up considerably. That's the expectation. You're not going to get your soft landing. And Paul basically said as much that that wasn't his base case during the meeting. So you got to keep that in mind when you're looking at risk markets like crypto and alts especially are just still obliterated and continue to look terrible. Two -year looks like it wants more. The three -month yields look like, all the yields look like they want more. Yeah, they're all acting like it. Especially if you take today out of the picture, which I'm not sure I'm going to read too much into what's happening on a Friday. Well, we had, so yesterday we had a negative 1 .6 % day on S &P. And there were already legacy analysts coming out saying, oh man, Paul's going to have to cut this year. It's been one day. You people are so soft, so pathetic. Pillsbury Doughboy over here asking for cuts after a down day. Give me a break. Just absurd. The chart on the S &P does look like it has room for more downside like that. Oh, for sure. Pretty clean breakdown, but it's not in panic mode. It's in the middle. It's in the chop zone. 4200 makes all the sense in the world based on some basic technical analysis. Look at the 200 -day moving average. All this is just meaner version. You have people panicking that the number is going down instead of up and they're pathetic. I mean, that's legacy for you. Even when you look at non -technical analysis, if we were in price discovery for the stock market right now, it would not make sense. It just does not make sense relative to the economy. But ledger, price is in the forward future. It doesn't look at what's happening now. We're not going to get a recession. We're going to get a huge GDP print, man. Forward future looks like we got another year or two of grinding. Like grinding economically, trying to figure out this balance of wage inflation, commodities inflation, cost of goods. There's a balance that has to exist there. Life is more expensive for people. Their homes are more expensive and their business loans are more expensive. are Their wages up, but they're not caught up to that. And so the economy needs to figure itself out. It needs to find its Zen zone. I agree. That could take time. But that's not the S &P. The S &P is eight companies who have billions of dollars, don't need to borrow, don't need debt at this interest level. But now the problem, I think Apple especially, I don't expect their new phone to sell gangbusters because the economy is... It's one of the easiest things to not upgrade. Right. Well, that as well. But USB -C, right? Welcome to the 21st century, everybody. So I'm expecting those numbers to be soft. The Nvidia story seems to be softening, even though it's hard to really know what's going on there. There's still lots of lots of demand for those checking news. Yeah. But I guess the point is, who cares about the rest of the S &P, the 493, right? It's all about the top seven right now. And if those are weak, which they are, just in the charts, the markets are going to turn lower because you're not getting any help from the other 493. All right. I want some of what Andre is drinking in the chat. I'm just going to plop this onto the show. Here we go, Andre. This is your moment. Fed waits another year to lower rates than the BTC happening. The presidential election and lower interest rates are all going to be happening at the same time as we go into the next bull run. Space exclamation point, which is another way of saying triple exclamation point. Where do you put that space in front? Andre, I'm with you. I hope you're right. I think people believe that if they cut, then that will be bullish, but they won't cut until things look terrible. So if they're cutting, then we have a different problem, right? We have a recession if they're cutting, right? It's over if they're cutting. We just have to dodge a recession. You just have to dodge a recession. Around halving, whatever. And then there's this other school of thought, which is kind of what Andre is hinting at. Maybe the halving doesn't matter. Maybe it's just a coincidence that we've been in these four -year business cycles, and it's just lined up perfectly. I've seen that narrative growing recently, which is surprising to me, but it makes sense. Look, if you look at the data and you just don't pay attention to halving, I agree. But I think the halving brings eyeballs. It brings people understanding the asset a little differently because they're like, oh, wait, what do you mean? The supply is going to be cut in half or whatever, the daily emissions. Anyway. And meanwhile, Bitcoin and ETH both basically at their 200 -week moving average. This was okay. So that's the tweet you have up. This was my engagement bait last night. This is if anybody was paying attention. It's comparing the 200 -week and the 200 -day moving averages on Bitcoin. The last time... They're converging. Yeah. So they're converging. And the last time it looked like this was 2015 for a bull cross. It technically didn't cross bearish in 2015. I just want to highlight, though, Josh. We are both getting rejected by that right now, if you look at this weekly. Yeah, but that's okay. It's September. It's key three. I don't care. But yes. They're just winding around in there. They're meandering. It's not good. Also, one other comment. Yeah. Gotta work on this hashtag. 250k or bust. Gotta work on that. Well, that's the target. We need some ideas. That's the 8000 % target from here is 250k. That's where that came from. Yeah, we gotta do better. 250 by 25 is too much of a mouthful. I feel like the phrase millie needs to be in there. Millie? Quarter millie? Quarter millie. Maybe just full millie. Look, I've been on the record. 250k is the target for the next run. Okay. Even before this tweet, the stars are aligning. Yeah. People are saying what's happened to me. I'm using a different camera. I'm in a different place. And I got a haircut today. And everyone says you look old. I look weird and old. I am old. Here, I was I was puffing you up early. You're telling me I look good. And I was telling you how old I felt. And now the whole chat's like, hey, you look old. You look terrible. I think you look fine. But you know, maybe it's the rates, you know, the rates are just killing everybody. It is the rates. I'm gonna go ahead and go out on a limb and say that I'm affected by that. Sure. So yeah, if we look at if we look at Bitcoin, also, We've also got if you don't like the head and shoulders, at the very least, you have to admit there's some sort of double top there. Yeah, double top, lower, lower low by a smidge. Rejected by the fast and long moving averages potentially. There's a there's reason to be concerned here. If we're above 28, at any point Q4, I think we're good for move higher, which doesn't like logically make sense based on what's going on in the world with rates and everything. So if this then that if we get above 28, we're good. Until then, I expect lower lows, ETH especially. What's going on with ETH, man? You're the ETH fanboy, the ETH cheerleader. What's happening? It's even better than BTC in terms of rejection off the 200. That's clean. It's nice and clean. That's a dump it. Let me translate that for everybody. That means it's even more bearish. I think this tells some of the story like there's not many people in the ecosystem that don't consider pair trades, you know, like opportunity cost or a risk profile of being in one thing versus the other. And a lot of people are dancing on like long tail of altcoins. Like they'll play on those playgrounds. But the people that are in big assets are looking at this where ETH BTC is breaking down further. It looks like it might be escalating. It looks like it might be going from breakdown to a steady progression to the downside. And I don't know, maybe that also looks double toppy to me. Yeah, but maybe another 10 -15 % on ETH is on that relative to BTC and people just don't see the upside as worthwhile. I get it. I understand. I like 05. And if 05 doesn't survive around the ETF stuff, assuming the ETF stuff is going to be bullish, I like 03. I think a 200 week tap at a minimum would make sense. So, you know, you're looking at another 10 % relative in that scenario. And that would probably be a bullish bottom. Bullish, she says. A bullish bottom if it maintains that. I'm sure, I don't know harmonics well enough to just like eyeball it, but I'm sure there's some sort of harmonic. Batwing harmonic, yeah. Yeah, there's something there where you could draw like a crab or something. If this one's a 0 .03, that would be concerning. Well, what's the breakout level of the head and shoulders? Like 0 .035, 0 .036? Yeah, I think that's reasonable. I think that would put ETH people, myself included, just in Jordan tier mode. Look, if ETH doesn't get an ETF and Bitcoin does and it actually sees flows. It could happen. It could happen. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Hit your targets, Josh. 0 .053 before 0 .035. That's true. I mean, we need to spot ETF first, which... That's just math, just so you know. And dyslexia. It's just kind of interesting that it has not made a higher high since going proof of stake. Kind of weird, right? The Real Dangles asks, can we do a mini series on learning macro fundamentals? I've only ever looked at crypto, so half of what you guys talk about is foreign to me. No, but there's some people that you can learn from. One of the best, in my opinion, and I was... Jeebus was giving me crap about this, but Ray Dalio is, I think, the greatest macro mind that actually takes their information and then shares it. Big Debt Crises is a book. It's a study of cycles, basically. It's a study of deflationary, inflationary cycles, and they're very good. I would read that. That's a great start. Like, that'll be good. That could teach you more than I ever could. There's many, many other things, in addition to what he talked about, that go into what he talks about. But at the end of the day, it's all about cycles. And that's a terrific book. I would listen to a bunch of podcasts on macro stuff. Blockworks does a billion of them. Yeah, but don't worry. If you listen to those, you'll end up a bear. So you gotta know that going in so that you don't end up a bear. I don't care if you're bullish or bearish, but being able to form your own opinion, that's the end goal. But people that do nothing but talk macro are all bears. They're all dirty bears, Josh. I agree with you. They're doomer macro people. But just knowing the language and knowing what people are looking at definitely helps you understand what the hell is going on. If you listen to them, just know that you need to protect your beautiful, bullish beauty. Don't take their advice, air quotes here. Don't take their advice. Your beautiful, bullish innocence needs to be protected when you listen to the doomer bears. You'll learn all about the SPR and why it's the end of the world. What is it about macro that makes people perma bears? I don't know. I think all this cyclical stuff, the raining down of potential for bad makes you think it's imminent. Yeah, they're very pro -commodity, pro -being anti -market. That's their whole personality and identity. Now I'm thinking of Sven specifically, for those of you who know who that is. But the macro people will be wrong for years and years and years. And then we'll finally get a down move. And they'll be like, yes, I told you so. Now I've lost all my money and the market 10xed at that time. But I told you so. We would get a correction. But I like that about them. The macro people also generally don't like Bitcoin. Some of them do, certainly. But most of them don't. So that tells me we still got time. It's still early. There are very few Lynn Alden's of the world where I simultaneously massively respect their macro analysis. And they don't discount crypto. She does discount everything but Bitcoin. But I'll forgive her for that. Because she's already really good at two things. That most people can't combine their goodness of that. Yeah, she's great. That's another easy listen as far as trying to pick up. She just wrote a book about money, too. I'm sure it's got some good macro stuff in there. There you go. So we'll stop that. Rate's up. Murray, I don't know what we're saying is like Michael Murray. But if he's a doomer bear, then yes. Yeah, this is a doomer bear that he was right at the right time on the right cycle as the media fell in love with such characters. So that carries a lot of weight. Like he can now be wrong for the rest of his life, but he was still right in 2008. But I respect people that have these opinions. I just think it's a lot easier to make money if you're a bull over the long period of time. I agree. Tripsy says he thinks the TA makes a better bear case than macro. I agree. I pay attention to the macro because it's kind of interesting. And having the ability to discuss it is powerful. But if all I do is pay attention to the TA, then I'd be fine. If you see the macro and you make this great bear case and then you see the chart and the chart looks like it wants to explode to the upside, don't make the trade. Not financial advice, but don't sell everything in that scenario. I wouldn't. But if the chart looks like doo -doo and the macro looks like doo -doo, then maybe it's just doo -doo. Well, knowing yields and rates helps you understand the DeFi angle a little bit. Knowing risk premium helps you understand like if I'm not getting paid an insane amount in DeFi right now, it's just not worth participating. You know? Yeah. Assuming a risk -free rate in U .S. government bonds, treasuries, whatever, you're not getting paid that differential in DeFi. Typically, you are seeking yield growth balance, right? There's some combination or you're looking for either or, but there's a balance of yield and growth. If your available yield today is high, so let's say you can earn 5 % in a money market or something like that, then two years ago, you could only earn 1%. Then your need for growth is even higher to make up for your annualized compounding year -on -year returns because when you're seeking growth, you're compounding that growth to make up for the lack of yield. So when the yield is higher, you need even more growth so people get less interested in the growth because the growth needs to be so severe to replace easy yield that's available today. So that's why risk assets that focus on growth look less attractive when yield is high. That's a general concept that can be useful. I always like to think about the extremes. So they used to say, Tina, there is nothing else when you're talking about allocating capital. So if there was no yield before, you get all this crazy VC shit and altcoins and NFTs. Because it's growth at all costs. Because that's it. That's the whole game, right? Now that there's a balance, it'd be much harder to create something like FTX in this environment where you can get a yield, you know? Yeah, there is demand for return on those dollars that's not just growth, that's not just bring it back to me more valuable. Did you hear that NFT story? The NFTs are 95 % worthless thing? Yeah. Yeah, there's some really good replies from NFT people that I thought were worthy. I've retweeted one of them. I don't remember who it was. I think it was the punk person that works, that does the streams all the time. Pink haired punk. You know, most of them always have been worthless is what they mentioned. And I think that they're doing a classic throw the baby out with the bathwater thing. Like the speculation on JPEGs was always going to pop. The underlying technology does have inherent value, it's just who's going to win from that. Like, will all the current market participants, collections, companies, whatever, will they all go away and then somebody will rise from the ashes and win the technology emergence where game the underlying technology can be taken advantage of to create real business value? I think that's what will happen, but which of us will be there to survive it? And then some stuff will get Lindy effects of art, digital art. There was product market fit, there is product market fit for that. But like, you can't just mint 10 ,000 pineapples and expect to make millions of dollars now when there's nothing else. If your denominator is infinity, then yeah, 95 % are useless.
Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from BCB128_TIM NIEMEYER: History Echoes Bitcoin
"You know, the phrase Bitcoin fixes this, I really think it incentivizes this because what you're talking about is incentive, take these incentives away. What is there to do? Free societies lead to an increased quality of life for that very reason. Controlled societies lead to a decreased quality of life for that very reason. This is the Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast, a show where average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin, we talk finance and we talk shit. Welcome back into the Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast. This week, Josh and myself dance sit down with Tim Niemeyer. Tim is the co -host of the Lincoln Land Bitcoin Meetup in Springfield, Illinois. He has a background in technology. He was a U .S. Air Force avionics technician. His degree is in psychology and his day job is as an elementary school teacher. He also loves history and he just authored a book titled History Echoes Bitcoin. Those of us who have spent any time studying Bitcoin recognize that it's like a sprawling, gorgeous cave. One small entrance leads to larger and larger chambers, each one blowing your mind more than the one before. What you thought was just some bizarre and useless internet money morphs into a species altering idea that could foundationally improve human cooperation. During this chat and in his book, Tim does a marvelous job leading us into the Bitcoin cave and exploring how Bitcoin's design and incentives mirror a variety of powerful and recurring patterns throughout history. Bitcoin's a big idea and history illuminates why. Speaking of history, one thing it teaches us is that too much trust in other human beings can leave you exploited and broke. We recommend that you keep at least a portion of your net worth in an asset you can fully control. And when it comes to Bitcoin, that requires you embark on self custody. We both use the cold card and there's a reason why this device has stood the test of time and is used by a large percentage of hardcore Bitcoiners. It's because it fucking works. It's reliable, ultra secure, easy enough to use, but still gives you room to grow if your technical aptitude and appetite increases. You can use code BCB that's BCB for a delectable discount on the cold card or visit the cold card link down in the notes for discounts on a bunch of their products, including the block locks. Couple of other quick shout outs and codes if they're helpful for you. If you do plan to attend Bitcoin Amsterdam coming up quick here in early October or Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville next July, take 10 % off your tickets with code BCB. These ticks aren't getting any cheaper, ladies and gents, so jump on it if you do plan to attend. Also open enrollment is upon us. If you have healthcare needs or healthcare bills and want to save money while supporting people rather than large insurance companies, check out crowd health at join crowd health .com and use code blue. That's code blue for a big discount on a three month trial period. Lastly, do us a huge favor folks. Can you just sit back, relax and strap in for a cosmic and occasionally comical romp with Tim Niemeyer. Tim, welcome to the show, man. You wrote the book History Echoes Bitcoin and I'm reading this book and I love history and obviously we love Bitcoin. So it's a great book and it reminds me, and I think you should take this as a high compliment. I don't know if you guys, either of you guys have read this book called Lessons of History by Will Durant. It's a short, it's very similar to yours and it's like short essays on different topics. This book is phenomenal and the fact that your book reminded me of it is I think high praise and if anyone hasn't read either of these books, you should read them both. Thank you very much. Thank you for helping me by the way. Appreciate that. Yeah, we're delighted to have you. It's a fun, interesting, very important angle. This kind of book and this theme that we're going to explore today really peels back the magnitude of Bitcoin. Like there's probably a newcomer or two out there listening that's like, I thought this was just some stupid quickly passing fad of fake internet money. And this is the kind of book that's saying, no, this whole decentralized protocol thing we call Bitcoin, it's hitting on some of the deepest, most powerful and important threads that date back through the history of our species. I mean, even if Bitcoin doesn't work, I think we learn a lot from Bitcoin. Obviously the three of us think Bitcoin is going to work, but my takeaway from reading this book is just a healthy reminder when I finished it. Bitcoin is a really, really big fucking idea. Absolutely. I mean, from what you're saying, it makes me think of the phrase in Bitcoin zoom out. So many in Bitcoin, we tend to hyper focus on the little things on the details of the code or whatever, the 21 million, this that, but when you zoom out far enough, you see how all of these ideas, all of the properties that are expressed in Bitcoin, they've been with us kind of throughout history. We've been wanting to be free of asking for permission or being censored or whatever. When you zoom out far enough, you're forced for the trees kind of thing. You're able to see how this all kind of comes together. 100%. Before we go too deep, let's rewind for a second. Who the hell are you? What do you do? You kind of have a little bit of an interesting story. We've never had anyone on here that's teaching music to kindergartners, Josh. So, Tim, who are you? Introduce yourself. I'm Tim Niemeyer. I'm from central Illinois. I grew up around here. My father was a farmer. I did a few years on that and I was thinking either do I want to be a farmer my whole life or do I want to see the world? So I ended up going in the Air Force, spent a couple of years in Japan, traveled around a little bit. And then after tour of service, I decided to go to college, got into psychology, got into elementary educating.

I've chosen our episode from November of 2019 on cockney rhyming slang. This is one of those silly episodes That's also packed with a lot of interesting information and I remember Chuck and I having fun making it So I hope you'll enjoy listening to it, too enjoy Welcome to stuff you should know production of I heart radio And welcome to the podcast I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant right there. There's Jerry Roland right there So that makes this stuff. You should know right Can't top that I was trying to think a way to say welcome to the podcast in cockney rhyming slang Can you make an attempt my I'm my brain is so broken right now. I can't even try. Okay, good good Well, welcome. It's a good good time to record a show You're gonna do some cockney in here, right? We want to offend as many Londoners as we can I don't know just just channel a little Dick Van Dyke. Oh You know Yeah, the American Doing a bad cockney accent. Well, I did recently rewatch the limey Yes Casey's for benefit. Yeah, the great great movie from Steven Soderbergh. Never seen it. It's awesome. Is it really? Yeah, I mean, I know it's like a classic and everybody loves it. But I mean, it's really that good Yeah, because a lot of people liked I don't know the hangover. I Like the hangover. Well, how would you how would you like the limey and the hangover same level? Yeah, they're the same movie almost. All right, it's weird. Well, then I've seen the hangover so I don't need to see the limey Lemmy's great and Terence stamp is Awesome, and it then uses some cockney rhyming slang and one great scene My big exposure to cockney rhyming slang is lock stock in two smoking barrels Snatch. Yeah, which I think are both directed by Guy Ritchie, right? Wasn't lock stock like his first attempt and snatch was the one that like Got him married to Madonna you a fan of his yeah, I mean as much as I Like his movies, I don't like him personally necessarily cuz he like hunts bore like a jackass does it like yeah No drunk with his friends in the most like disrespectful way of murdering a pig. I admit his movies But yeah, I do like his movie sounds like he's a creep, too I'm not gonna go on record saying that but Yeah, those movies are okay and then I guess what's his name Don Cheadle a little bit in Oceans 11 sure he did a little bit of that right and I mean like It's code to Americans. It's oh, there's like a criminal a British criminal, right? That's all that means these days Yeah, I think so in movies. It's definitely Like all of those are criminal right criminal people in the movies They're like, you know kind of slick cool criminals that wear leather coats and stuff like that Not dumb criminals that wear like football jerseys or anything like that. They're like, you know smooth criminals That's I think what I was looking for. Yeah, but This this idea of associating it with cockney is not necessarily associating it with criminals. It's more associated with like Lower class working class less educated definitely not the aristocracy over in Britain yeah, or the upper class sure and that by by speaking with a cockney accent or More to the point using cockney rhyming slang you could really differentiate yourself To as a point of pride, right? Like you were speaking like your group your in -group which was at the time cockney, right? But the big surprise to all this is it's really possible and even probable that it wasn't the cockney that came up with this Rhyming slang that it was somebody else altogether. Maybe who knows should we say what it is? No Not for the rest of the podcast cockney rhyming slang Wasn't even Very clearly defined in this piece. Okay, did you think it was? It's in there. Okay, you got to just kind of separate the wheat from the chaff So it is a two -word phrase and is a slang phrase Consisting of two words so far so good where the last word of that phrase rhymes with the original word and It can be and I think the best way to do this is just to throw out a few no. No keep describing Well, the two -word phrase it can be it can be a lot of things it can be a person's name It can be just something random can be a place could be a place. It could be a lot of things it can be anything Yeah, sure. I guess it can be But shall we illustrate it through? Well, there's a second part to it. Okay, the second part and this is very important the Two -word phrase that you're using to that where the second one rhymes with the word you're actually saying Yeah, the original word the original word. Thank you Usually has nothing to do with it. There's no metaphor. There's no connection. There's no Nothing, there's no there's no context to it It's supposed to just be random or in most cases. It is just random words right one of which rhymes with the word you're replacing and To further complicate things sure In a lot of cases and no one knows why sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't a lot of times that one of the words Of the two -word phrase is dropped. Yeah, and then you're just left with the one word Which doesn't even rhyme with the original word anymore, right? That's I mean, that's probably the best description of cockney rhyming slang anyone's ever given So I think we should illustrate it with a couple of examples. I pulled some from From something called the internet Here here's one the the tip and tete That's how long it took me to come up with that Tip and tete for internet, but in ten years, it'll just be called the tip I'm gonna log on to the tip governor So let's say your word was and this was in oceans 11 specifically trouble is the word that you're trying to say Cockney rhyming slang for trouble is Barney rubble awesome And so you would say you're making a bit of the bonnie rubble again, right when somebody that was kind of Who was that? Making a bit of bonnie rubble not the see I already did it wrong No, but I think you that's not like a real person to an American for sure. Oh, yeah Um, I can't I can't I'll shout it out. Later. Oh, man. I finally did a good one No, but it wasn't a cockney person, okay for Another example Queen They would use the term baked bean Look who's on TV. It's the baked bean And that's the Queen. I like that one or in the case of one that's been dropped What is Ed use here bees and honey? That one is not dropped for money. Okay, but which one was apples and pears right? Right, so you would say I'm gonna go up the apple and stairs Apples and pears. Oh, man Let me retake this everybody You would say I'm going to go up the apples and pears to go get my wallet to pay for this pizza Or something to that effect. Okay, but then over time people drop the pears And so now the word for stairs in cockney rhyming slang is just apples Which if you're just standing there on the outside like a normal American bloke sure, which by the way means person You have no idea why this person just called stairs apples You got what they were saying because the context is there you're going up the apples to get your wallet to pay for the pizza But why would you just say that did you did you hit your head? Is there something wrong with you? What's the problem? Why would you just call that apples? Yeah, that's why it's so confounding But the great thing about cockney rhyming slang and in particular the great thing about researching cockney rhyming slang is you learn How you get from apples to stairs and then it makes sense sometimes Yeah, that's true. It's not always. Yeah, sometimes there's It's not documented which ed points out is one of the problems sometimes you can draw the line the through line But because it's not documented and sometimes these things take years and years to morph into its final version right unless you unless you're you know on the What would you call street on the dole? No on the streets, then I wouldn't know but I don't know what streets is you can't just make stuff up like there's real words I'm the drums and beats So you're on the drums right, but they probably have a word for streets like that's the whole point You can't just make anything up, but the you could if it hasn't been taken yet sure Also, that's the other thing about cockney rhyming slang is it evolves right so old celebrities that that no one even knows about anymore Fall away to new celebrities whose name also rhyme with you know whatever word you're saying right? I thought you meant old celebrities who maybe used to talk this way like Michael Caine no He's never said any rhyming slang in his life. No of course you got to see the movie Alfie Maybe that's who it was it might have been Michael Caine. I'll take that Michael Caine. I think it was as a matter of fact Thank you, I'm glad you did it. Noel always says a good joke is to say Michael Caine in the correct accent say the words my cocaine And it sounds like Michael Caine saying it then it sounds like that the correct accent for Michael Caine all right say it my cocaine Well you just blew that one out of the water You Gotta set me up in the future Okay, well there's I've got it two ways now, man, okay, here's the thing my cocaine That's my cocaine That's pretty good Michael Caine. It is good. You're right. No. You just got to say it the right way and not like a robot Josh So here's that one of the things is sort of confounding if you want to look up a like a glossary and Say well, here's what I'm gonna. Do I'm gonna learn cockney rhyming slang so for my trip to England I'm really you know. I'm really in with everybody First of all bad idea yeah second of all it's it can be very localized Mm -hmm and the accents are all different Yeah, so even people in London sure who both who all use well people in London Do but the people who use cockney rhyming slang in London yeah might not even agree on what word is means What I'm just picturing all the people walking around England laughing their arses off. I can't wait to get to that one As we stumble through this um yeah, it had a really good Example of why there's no codification of the cockney rhyming slang He said that when people are creating a language especially informal ones like slang They don't write it all down quote dear diary referred to my house as a cat and mouse today because it rhymed We all had a good laugh might try. Just calling it cat tomorrow and see how it goes It is it sounds funny, but that's that's how it works stumbling across the diaries And here's the other thing too is there are cases where there is a little bit of a reflection of the original word and the example that it gives here is twist Yeah, like to call a woman a twist mm -hmm Which I don't know if that's derogatory or not or just some weird slang that no one uses anymore I don't think so although I don't know so yeah these are also the people who use the C word like it's nothing Man I can't wait to go back there Which we're gonna do soonish right? I'd love to do in 2020. Maybe yeah, all right So twist came from twist and twirl which meant girl which is They were talking about like dancing with a girl twisting and twirling in a nightclub Let's say so there is some connection in that one. Yeah, so girl and ended up becoming twist So that sort of makes sense there's another one called on your Todd After a guy named Todd Sloan and it means on your own Right and the thing is is like on your Todd it makes sense Sloan rhymes with own It doesn't have to have any connection, but that one actually does yeah Cuz Todd Sloan was a famous jockey in the 19th century like horse jockey. Yes, okay? What other kind is there disc jockeys? Oh, yeah, sure So his book his memoir was called Todd Sloan by himself Which is weird to refer to yourself in third person for your memoir Hmm, but there was a line in it that apparently East End East Enders in London like really picked up I was left alone by those. I never ceased to grieve for It's still like the idea of being alone or on your own Became synonymous with Todd Sloan his name just happened to rhyme with that So it's one of those rare ones where there is a connection to it and also rare Chuck in that This is a 19th century horse jockey and still today on your Todd is recognized as on your own Whereas a lot of people probably have no idea exactly who he is and when that happens That frequently that person gets moved out for potentially another celebrity or another word That's a little more understandable or recognized another new jockey two people today, right? Yeah exactly which can you name one? Nope? Nope Alright, maybe we should take a break and we'll talk about some of the other some other examples after this message In a world where modern technology is rapidly reshaping our day -to -day lives the new podcast Technically speaking an Intel podcast uncovers the remarkable ways tech is improving our livelihood across the globe brought to you by Ruby Studios from I heart media in partnership with Intel technically speaking is your passport to the forefront of AI's marvels in modern technology each episode will Take you on a riveting journey as you discover the awe -inspiring innovations of our modern world from game -changing innovations Revolutionizing early cancer detection to AI software that detects pests on crops that can be detrimental to seasonal yields tune in for Conversations that are shaping tomorrow today.

The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Interest Rate Hikes FINISHED?! (Crypto War NOT Over)
"Welcome to Discover Crypto! It is September 20th. It's 11 .30am. How are we all doing? We got Drew and AJ on the ones and twos today, folks. We're going to talk about the Fed. We're going to talk about what are they going to be saying with the interest rate hikes. And also we're going to be talking about Bitcoin and other cryptos. AJ, how are you doing today? I'm doing great, man. Another day in the life. Let's get it. Drew, how are you doing? Oh, just great. You know, can't complain. Well, you can. You can. You complain when you get home. You'd like, you know, just really vent to your two -year -old. Yeah, that's where I do it. Deezy, did you see the tweet that went out yesterday about the show I'm doing with from George from Cryptos R Us? What? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's with Blockchain Boy and Neutron. Joshua Jay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we're all like, it's for crew, like, plus, you know, and basically we're all doing something different. I believe, like, Josh is doing like a news kind of show and Blockchain Boys. I'm not really sure what Blockchain Boys doing, but I know the videos are going to start coming out here pretty soon. We're still like brainstorming my concept, but I have a really good, like, rough idea of what I'm doing. But it's going to be really interesting to see how, like, where this goes. And I'm just fun to excited to do something different, you know? And I'm excited. We got Frankie Candles doing the charts today. I see Frankie getting ready in his neon square. He's in his, like, little neon area. I don't know if, oh, he can hear me. He's showing some recognition and anticipation of what Deezy is going to say next. Yeah, we saw the Donald Trump Jr. tweets. It looks like he got hacked. Also, Rob, you're popping it. Hey, we're going to see you back. Can't wait till you come back. All right, let's just get right into crypto. Marc Kepson's Drew is done. Am I too tall? Am I too tall? Too tall for the camera? Look, I got to stand. I got to do these shows a lot, you know? I take the shoes off. So I shrink, you know? They come in. I'm like 6 '11", and I take the shoes off. Then I drop back down to 6 '3". I got the Tom Cruise lifts. All right, Bitcoin is falling a little bit, folks. We were in the green this morning when I first woke up. Now we are down 0 .6%, and Ethereum is down 1 .3%. But XRP looks pretty good. XRP is up. It is up 0 .8 % on the day so far. Meanwhile, Cardano, I woke up this morning. It was up, but now it's down. It is down 0 .7%. Dogecoin down 1 .3%. TonCoin finally cooling off a little bit for the week here. It is down 1 .2%. Litecoin has taken a little bit of a beating, folks. Litecoin is down 5%. We talked about Litecoin a little bit yesterday on ATB. I highly recommend you check that out after this stream. All right, let's look at the top gainers. Then we're going to look at the top losers. You know, I have a streak of keeping my coins in the losers, but not today, folks. I'm feeling good. In fact, maybe I'll have a coin in the top 10. Who knows? All right, here we have Caspa leading the way. Caspa is just on fire, folks. The people who bought Caspa at $0 .01, $0 .02, looking good. Just put in a higher high too. You got past that last one, yep. All right, we are now above a nickel, and it looks like maybe price discovery mode for a Caspa. XDC is up 4 .3%. Maker is up. Radix is up. Aave is up. I have a coin in the ties. A little Solana. I think maybe I have some Arbitrum. Maybe. I'm not even sure I have to check. Then we have, you know, XRP is up 0 .8%. We got gold. Gold's moving to the upside. The graph moving to the upside, even though Bitcoin and ETH are down. Okay, so it's not all blood in the streets, but hopefully, it's not going to be blood in Deasy's wallet, guys. And again, I promise you, I do not check this ahead of time. I kind of like being surprised. I like discovering it with you. So let's discover cryptos, Deasy's coins in here. I'm looking good today. All right, I don't know how long the streak has been continuing. I don't know when's the last. I think I last held Litecoin in 2021. Never had Thor, Phrax, eCash, or I know Frankie likes to trade Adam. I like to trade Eve. So maybe we'll talk to him about the Adam is falling 4 % here. Litecoin down 5%. Thor chained down 5%. Any of these coins, you know, peak it. Well, if you go at it, I do have two in the top 10. I got two in the top 10. Just, you know, just to make it feel good. But any of these screaming at you here? Yeah, Thor, Litecoin, Phrax. Not surprised really to see. I mean, everything kind of came up yesterday. I'm still kind of sticking to the theory that the pump we're seeing could possibly be a bull trap. I think, you know, when we get into the FOMC news, the pauses that is likely coming is going to be bullish for the sentiment. I'm just still like kind of macro worried based off of the stock market sharks. Actually, the Algorand, you know, down 2 .8%. That one's kind of obviously yelling at me a little bit. I have a theory coming up, but I'm not going to say it right now. But I'm making a video about it, about Algorand. So stay tuned for that. OK, so you're going to create more? I'm going to create more. I create more crypto content every day and some of it's about Algorand. But I like how it's a period. Create more. No exclamation point. Just create. It's more like create more. Oh, OK. Great. More. Great. Great. Yeah. All right. Well, we're going to create some stories here about the feds. What are they doing? I don't know if we've ever had an article from this news organization. ABC. Shout out to Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew here. Fed to decide on a rate hike. Testing optimism about a soft landing as inflation rises again. Upon announcing the Fed Reserve's latest rate hike decision in July, Jerome Powell spoke out a lectern in Washington, DC for a half hour before he dropped a bombshell. The Central Bank staff has abandoned its forecast of a recession. Staff at the Fed, in other words, now expect the Central Bank to achieve a soft landing, an outcome in which the US brings down inflation while avoiding a downturn. Inflation has ticked up for two consecutive months, reversing some of the progress made in the effort to bring price increases down to normal levels. Meanwhile, oil prices have soared, threatening to push inflation even higher. Well, they got like moving ads. Whoa, whoa, what's going on here? Calm down, ABC. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the Fed to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged, affording policymakers time to weigh their next move as a rapid series of previous rate hikes take full effect. I was looking at Caleb Franzen's tweets. We're at 99 % on the prediction market unchanged today, right? Have you been looking at the, when is the next one? Is it November? I can pull the calendar. I'm pretty sure it's the end of October. I think it's like maybe on Halloween. Let me double check. Oh, on Halloween is going to be spooky. Okay, Drew, are you going to give out candy this Halloween? Absolutely. You know, but actually I'll be doing candied apples. Okay, I'm going to be giving out pamphlets on inflation to children. Yeah, you know, you could have got Reese's pieces, but blame Jerome Powell. You can take advantage of the time and the season to teach your children about tax. Tax them. Like attacking kids for their pillowcases of candy? Taxing them heavily. Yeah, take 33 % of every Snickers bar they get. That's right. Yeah, that's just the way it is. Why wait? Welcome to America, you know? And yeah, the next FOMC is October 31st, November 1st, so. Okay, okay. October 31st. All right, all right. Halloween, what's Jerome Powell going to dress up as? Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Pat, do you want us to dress up on the channel? I might be willing to dress up in a costume. I might be willing. You know, every - I could break out the green spandex, go old school. You know, every Halloween, AJ disappears and a Mr. Meeseeks just shows up. Okay, I heard existence is pain though. Existence is pain. We're not fumbling around for meaning here, Deezy. All right. Well, I'm fumbling around for this rate of inflation. It eases slightly 6 .7 % despite the oil prices surging. You know, like we said, I think the oil is going to be a leading indicator, so inflation will trickle down from the oil prices. If you want to think about it, it's going to cost more money to get those bananas to drive from point A to point B because they're going to have to spend more in the gas tank. This is going to be - It's just give it a while, let it roll out to the rest of the economy. Namely, food. Oil prices really, really like to impact food prices a couple months down the line. Well, we're looking at the ONS as the Office for National Statistics, and they said the consumer price index measure slowed in the 12 months to August from the 6 .8 figure reported the previous month thanks to food rising at a weaker pace during the month compared to August 22. During the X minute, I have a tweet about Canadian food prices, and I just kind of look at where they've gone over the past 20 years. It is shocking. It is shocking. I used Bard. I was like, this doesn't feel right for the price. I went to a Canadian grocery store, and I went low. I went low. There's expensive eggs and cheap eggs. I typed in the cheap egg price. It was still very scary. All right, well, we have predictions. Jerome Powell's got his ideas. You notice I was thinking about this BlackRock. What is BlackRock thinking about all this? BlackRock and others predict the Fed's next move. What does it mean for Bitcoin though? According to Marilyn Watson, is a BlackRock's head of global fundamental income strategy. The central bank's federal funds target rate will remain roughly the same until the end of the year going through its September, November, and December meetings. For the record, I think the economic data has consistently surprised to the upside, she said. That includes GDP, the unemployment rate, and the labor market. Beware, beware of recession. The analyst has previously argued that Bitcoin's price is macroeconomic determined by conditions, including its four -year cycles, which I am still a firm believer in for this cycle. Might be less of an effect of the previous one, but I'm still a believer in the four -year cycle, going to push Bitcoin to the new high. I do think we'll set in a new all -time high. I don't think we're going to hit a quarter million dollars in two years, but I think we're going to flirt with $100K, which they do not believe are related to the Bitcoin halving. So they're saying the four -year cycle is not related. I don't know what they're saying here. Risk assets go lower in recessions. So I'd expect Bitcoin would not perform well in that environment. It has not seen a real recession in its existence. It was birthed out of a recession, but yeah, hasn't really gone through one from the beginning stages to the end there. Yeah, there's never been a Bitcoin bull run during a phase of quantitative tightening. We've always been quantitatively easing the money supply anytime Bitcoin goes up into the right. And that obviously is what it takes. I think they're kind of leaning into if we're in a recession, and that lines up with the four -year cycle. But just so far, we're three for three with the having idea playing out. And the trend hasn't broken yet, so that's why I always say sticking to November 25 as a benchmark, but that's just a benchmark. It could be behind that. It could be in front of that. We don't have a crystal ball, but we can go off the pattern that we've seen before. All right. Well, speaking of quantitative tightening, we also have calfskin tightening, the tightest calfskin in the entire world. I don't care if you have a baby cow jacket for an extra small on an 800 -pound man, there is no tighter calfskin than the man I'm looking at right now. That is Frankie Candles. Frankie Candles, welcome back. How's it doing? Does it feel good? It feels good. The calfskin is tight, and so is Bitcoin's price action. But yeah, I don't want to waste time here. Let's go ahead and jump right into the charts here. Now, here we are. Now, obviously, I talk about this all the time. I don't typically trade on newsdays like this. It is usually a complete washing machine. Usually the shorts get wrecked, then the longs get wrecked, or the longs get wrecked, and then the shorts get wrecked. So I don't typically trade. Now, I am in a few trades right now. I am in this Bitcoin long right now. I have profits locked in on this trade and my stop loss is at my entry. So kind of how I am playing this today is I'm going to be holding my long. I am long from about $25 ,000 to $50 ,000 just below this range. And again, I have taken profits on that stop loss at break even. And then I am also in a short position from somewhere up here. I am slightly in profit on the short position. So I am long up and now I am in this small short position that is in slight profit. However, this is kind of how I'm playing this today, DZ. Because basically, like I said, I never recommend people trade on these newsdays just because of the complete unpredictable volatility that you're likely to see. Now, the last FOMC meeting, I believe, was on the 25th, 26th of July. I believe someone could correct me if I'm wrong on that. But we actually have seen a few FOMC meetings where we didn't really have too much happen. And I've been telling people that we are likely in that kind of boring accumulation phase of the bear market. A lot of times, if you go back to at least the 2017 or 2018, 2019 bear market, we had that bear market rally. And once we topped off at that point, we kind of just bled out. And for the most part, if you kind of just ignore this panic wick from March of 2020, which was obviously a Black Swan event, we kind of just wiggled sideways. We got that big bear market rally, we topped off, bled out a little bit, and then we just kind of went sideways again with the exception of that panic wick. And I do think we are in somewhat of a similar situation here where the rest of this bear market may not be the most exciting thing ever. But for today, basically how I'm handling this, DZ, is I'm going to be kind of...
Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 43: Week 2 Recap
"Welcome to the Ultraflex Football Podcast. Move over Pat McAfee. There's no denying that we are here to spice up your life and never forget about the good times. I'm your host, Anthony Sutton. With me, as always, is Rob Green. Man, I wasn't prepared for that change. What's up? What's going on? And Viva Forever, Ryan Wheeler. I feel so much pressure. Now we got to be better than Pat McAfee. All right. Oh, we got the... Go ahead. No, he's actually like swearing on ESPN now, and he's got like Mike Greenberg, he swore on ESPN now because of McAfee. He's actually... A little more laid back now, huh? Yeah, he wears a tank top. He's very good for ESPN, in my opinion. Go ahead. He's spicing up Disney, huh? I think I saw, didn't they have to put him on like an extra delay versus normal? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. He has to cut out the F words a little bit, I heard. Someone's got to tell him to stop the cursing. No. Why? That's what makes it fun. I'm like eight song titles through my album here, so. Oh, he's like, damn, you're doing song titles already? Yeah, I thought you had to say him first. Holy moly. All right, well, we're about to find out what your song titles were. So Tony messed up two weeks ago. He didn't get all the song titles in, so now he has an album to himself, but because this is a team sport, a team podcast, Rob and I now have to split apart, or a album between ourselves. So Rob and I have Good Charlotte, The Young and the Hopeless. My songs are A New Beginning, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, Wondering, The Story of My Old Man, Girls and Boys, and My Bloody Valentine. Rob? I don't know, man. I'm not feeling good about this week. This is a lot. Seven songs and a half hour show. All right, I got Hold On, Riot Girl, Say Anything, The Day That I Die, The Young and the Hopeless, Emotionless, and Movin' On. Tony, we're all wondering, what do you have? You have the Spice Girls, my man. And I already, I've gotten already into the pod. I've already gotten Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Never Give Up on Good Times, Move Over, Denying, and Viva Forever. I still need to get in Too Much, Saturday Night Divas, Do It, and The Lady is a Vamp, which will probably be a difficult one. Hold on, can you say that one more time? What was that? The Lady is a Vamp. Like a vampire, assuming? What's a vamp? It's a vampire. And that's from the Spice World album. 1997 made me feel old AF. 97, wow. I remember watching the Spice World movie, the Spice Girls movie. I do not remember. Oh, you guys didn't have older sisters, that's why. No. All right, anyway. Movin' On. All right, speaking of Movin' On, the NFL schedule moved on. We are now in week two, so let's get to Football Talk. And I guess technically we're in week three, so we're going to recap week two. As always, we're going to start with the Bills game, go to the Titans game, and then kind of what else is going on. So, Rob, you were at the Bills Raiders game. What were your biggest takeaways? It was a fun home opener. The Bills got back to their winning ways with a nice, easy, I'd even want to say I was worried at the beginning. It was a little annoying that they fell behind 7 -0, but I was confident they would still pull it out. They did. Josh Allen ended up AFC Offensive Player of the Week, I think the 11th time in his career now, which is pretty impressive. Wow, the franchise record. Oh, I didn't know that. Nice stat. You beat Jim Kelly, it was 10 times. Well, pretty nice. Feels like a new beginning for the Bills, for sure. Nice, Ryan. Where was I going with that? I told you guys a stat yesterday, actually, that surprised me, but Josh Allen is number one in completion percentage so far this year. I know it's only two games in, but fun little tidbit there. It's crazy how much can change week by week in the NFL, and it's going to happen again this week. If the Bills were to lose to Washington and go 1 -2, then it almost feels like the game, I know it wouldn't be a must -win, but it feels like the game against the Dolphins the following week would feel like a must -win. That way, they're not 1 -3 and that far behind the Dolphins, but yeah, it's crazy how much can change in one week in the NFL. Oh, show. My biggest takeaway, and I said it last week, kind of a similar takeaway for me was last year it felt like we never got pressure on the quarterback. This year, it feels like we're constantly getting the opposing quarterback pressure, and it feels like our offensive line is playing well, so big task, which is we're physical, we can run the ball, we can block, we can get pressure. It's a good change of pace. I don't know, honestly, I'm not smart enough to tell you if McDermott's play calling is a factor in that, or if it's just Leonard Floyd, hopefully his ankle's okay, is better, and Ed Oliver's having a better year, so on and so forth. Yes, I saw his average depth of tackle is negative yards right now, which is impressive. So his average tackle is a tackle for a loss. That's awesome. That's literally the definition of blowing up a play. So yeah, it's exciting. Obviously, this win means something, but it doesn't really if you go and lose to Washington, so got to two and one. Two and one, by the way. Oh, yeah. I think everyone does the thing where you kind of... Did we just lose our host? It kind of looks like a frozen face there. Okay. Hey, frozen face. Oh, Rob, it's you and I. Let's do this thing. All right. So I didn't get to talk about the Titans at all. Can we say anything now, because he's gone? Yeah, we can say anything. Say anything, say anything. Sorry, I can't sneak any of these. Good Charlotte. Anywho, girls and boys, my takeaway is that the Titans are who I thought they were. The team that... I guess who a lot of Titans fans thought they were. The team that's probably... You are who we thought you were. Welcome back, Anthony. Thanks. They're the team that's going to beat the good teams and lose to the teams they should beat. And that's how it feels like the Titans have always been. They keep every game close. They have a shot. They have a chance in every game. So they're not quite the young and the hopeless, but they're just maybe like the mediocre. No, they're not the young and the hopeless. Oh, I thought that was one of my song titles. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, no. Clearly. Well, okay. I guess I can cross that one off my list then. Anywho, you know who else I was impressed with was the Falcons. They play a certain brand of football. It's the NFC Titans. I think I have to be a fan of the Falcons now. But just ground and pound, they came back. They were able to pull that one out in Green Bay. So... Yeah. The Falcons. To your point, there's not many teams, I feel like, in the NFL that have an identity, like a true identity. The Falcons are one that you know exactly what you're getting every week. And that could be really good or it could be really bad. Oh, for sure. One of my week two takeaways is prior to the season, it was always... And I was the one on this podcast kind of leading the charge is how good the AFC is gonna be. And then if like through two weeks, which is, again, a small sample size, it feels like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys are playing just as well as anybody. And they're all in the NFC. Now, the NFC doesn't have much else to offer, but those three teams are gonna be very formidable to whoever comes out of the AFC come Super Bowl time. Yeah. At this point, their high -end talent almost seems better than the AFC with a lot of the top teams in the AFC struggling. So... Do you guys think that three of the top five teams in the NFL are NFC teams? Maybe even three of the top four teams in the NFL? I think that's fair right now. Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it? Because before the season, it was like, the AFC is so strong, so good. They have all the good quarterbacks and two weeks is a pretty small sample size, but I think... I think at this point, yeah, it's safe to say those three teams are top five. I don't even know who you would put... I mean, I guess the Dolphins are probably the best team in the AFC at the moment. I mean, the Chiefs scored 17 points against the Jaguars. And I mean, the Bills looked very good last week, but you can't ignore how poorly they looked the first week on offense. So... And then obviously, the Bengals Chargers being 0 -2 hurts the AFC's, I guess, power rankings or however you want to look at it. And then Rogers being hurt. Those are three teams that I thought were going to have a very good season. They still might. Maybe not the Jets, but the Chargers and the Bengals.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and this is Short Stuff. And we are going to talk about something that has been overlooked for far too long, which is the origins of the plus, minus, multiplication, division, and equal symbols. I thought this was really cool, by the way. You put this together with help from FASCO, Caltech, Science ABC, among other places. And I had never thought about this stuff because I'm not a math person, but I love origin stories. And so I thought this is really neat, especially the fact that these symbols came about to begin with because people, before they had these, you wrote out a math problem like this long word problem. But not like, you know, a train's traveling in this direction kind of thing. It's more like I have divided 10 into two parts and multiplying one of these by the other. The result was 21. Then you know that one of the parts is thing and the other is 10 minus thing. Right. That was an excerpt from a 9th century algebra book by the mathematician Muhammad ibn Musay Al -Kharwazmi. I'm pretty sure that's his name. Today, you would take that same formula and write it out as x times 10 minus x equals 21. Yeah. So simple. That's it. And that reveals why these things were so important. It just saves you so much time. So not only did it make writing an algebra book that much more attractive, it made teaching it that much faster. You might not have necessarily learned it any faster, but you definitely could teach these things faster with these notations rather than writing it out. And I also saw, Chuck, that some of those sentences that they would write, some people would put it into verse, metered verse, like poems. That takes a lot of time and it's unnecessary. Yeah. And especially at the time when you're writing with an eagle's feather and an inkwell. Sure. You know what I mean? That really drags too. It's not like you're just dashing this stuff off with a pencil. Nope. So some folks came along and changed all that. According to the VNR Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics, hot read, the origin of the equal sign goes like this. A man named Robert Ricord, or Ricordae, was the royal court physician for King Edward VI and Queen Mary, and very influential mathematician in Wales. And he got tired of writing out equals over and over. So he thus proposed the equal sign because it is two little equal lines, and that's parallel equal lines. And I never thought about it, but it's brilliant. Yeah. He said a pair of parallels or twin lines of one length, and then he shows what he's talking about because no two things can be more equal. And there's a lot of extra vowels in those words, but he gets the point across. And he was saying like, this is such a great time saver. I'm so tired of saying is equal to. And he wrote it in a book called The Wet Stone of Wit. And of course, a wet stone is what you sharpen things with. So it sharpens your wit to read this book. I love that title. And it actually became very influential and well -read as far as 16th century math books go. And Robert Ricord is credited with coming up with the minus symbol and introducing it to his people back then. The equal sign, you mean? What did I say? Minus sign. Oh, just wait, Chuck. All right. Well, we're there. Plus and minus are what we use to indicate adding something and subtracting something, as everyone knows. The terms themselves come from Latin, where plus means more and minus means less. And the other thing is the plus symbol itself is also from the Latin word et et, meaning and, like this and that equals that, which is pretty great. So at one point there was a French philosopher named Nicole Oresme from the 14th century who used that plus sign as a shorthand for et, which is what they used to write. And at first it didn't take, right? I think like people weren't universally accepting this. Yeah, it wasn't until like the 16th or 17th century that it started to really kind of take off. I think the 16th century. And apparently there was competition at first too, that it wasn't just the plain old plus sign, that equal cross, that there were other crosses in the running too, including the Maltese cross. It's a great looking cross, but it takes a lot more time to write the Maltese cross out than it does to make a plus symbol. And the whole point of these things was to save time. So everybody said, yeah, Maltese cross, we like you, but we're going to go with the plus sign. That's right. So that's plus. We got equals, we got plus, minus now. In Europe, there was an Italian mathematician named Luca Pacioli. And Luca was using the symbol P with a little line over it for plus, an M with a little line over it for minus. And no one's exactly sure, but it seems to be that the M was just dropped, right? And then the minus sign, because we already had a plus sign, became the minus sign. Yeah. So you don't need the plus sign. Forget you P with the tilde over it. We're going to take the M instead. And it wasn't Robert Ricord who came up with that, but he was the one who introduced it to England.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Dr. James Lindsay (Encore)
"Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here, in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by. And now here's your Ralph Cramden of the Airways, Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Right now, I want to briefly interview our friend Robert Netsley. This is something I don't know. I get so excited about how it's possible to change the world with where our money is invested. I'll be talking about it. But there's an action point. You have to go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. I'm going to repeat this over and over. I want everyone on this program to do it. It is free. It is free. And it is very, very important. We need to get activated, folks. We need to bust out of the inertia. And we need to get activated. And so, where your money is, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. That's the action point. But let me play my interview with Robert Netsley. Folks, you know that when I find the solution to a problem, I get very excited. If you've been listening to this program for a while, you know that I talk about people of faith being active in their communities, in how they spend their money, in how they vote, in every way. And one of the things that got me really excited when I discovered Robert Netsley, he's with Inspire Investing, he is helping people do something, which I guess we can talk about it, is even better than just spending your money in good places and not spending your money in bad places. But where is your money invested? Is it invested in companies that share your values? Is your money invested in companies that are working against your values, and I would say against God's values? And so, we bring him on now. Robert Netsley, welcome back. It's a pleasure to be here, Eric. As always, thanks for having me. I get excited every time I talk to you just because there's a solution, because this is the kind of thing that I would want to dream up. I would say, can't somebody figure out a way, when we talk about all the money that's out there, people of faith in America. What's that? No, I wasn't saying anything. Yeah, people of faith in America have a lot of money. It's not just they spend a lot of money, but they have a lot of money invested in retirement funds, whatever. And a lot of that, as I've learned in talking to you, is with companies that are really bad, that are really woke, that are working against everything we believe in. So, then the question is, how do I figure that out? How do I get my money out of those places? And you have come up with a solution, and I should tell people, I'll repeat it again and again, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. That's the website, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. If people go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, Robert Netsley, what will they find there? How have you solved this problem? Well, they'll find an offer that our staff has done for, I don't know how many, countless of thousands of investors around the country, around the world. And we're making a special offer here for your listeners is to just help you understand what you own. It's the first step. And so, my personal story, I was working at one of the big four Wall Street investment bank in their investment department. And long story short, just realized one day, here I am president of our local pro -life pregnancy center, and I own three stocks of companies manufacturing abortion drugs. So, every time a young lady goes across the street to plan a parent who has an abortion, I just made money on that transaction. I literally profited from that transaction. And then you go down the laundry list of all sorts of other things that are going on in the portfolio, LGBT activism, human trafficking, et cetera. And I'm investing in these businesses, I'm profiting from these businesses, and likely so are you. And I'm not here to be your moral police, that's not my position. But what we want to do is help people understand what it is that they're putting their money into. It's not just a mutual fund ticker symbol with some dollars attached. There are real companies doing real things, some of which are incredibly evil and immoral, and it would turn your stomach if you realized what the money is that they're putting into your pocket and what you're helping to fund. And basically, so this report will show you exactly down at the nitty gritty of on this date, this company gave this much money to Planned Parenthood, let's say, or what have you. And so that you can then be informed and then make informed decisions about how you want to invest your money, which we believe is God's money in a way that honors him, helps society thrive, stops undermining your deeply held values, the list goes on. So, that's God's mandate is this commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength. And the idea is that if you act like, well, that doesn't matter, everything matters. And it's only inertia, which is the devil owns inertia. When you don't do anything, the devil wins and his values win. So, here is an opportunity, folks, for you to take your money out of these companies or to even know where your money is invested. What is your money, which you're responsible for? It's God's money. Where, who's it helping? What are you invested in? So, if you go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, I'll say it again, inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, you can get a report. You can learn, this is free, obviously, Robert, this is free. Right. Yeah. Complimentary, totally complimentary. We're passionate about spreading a movement. There are millions of Christians and others around the world who are moving their money by the billions of dollars out of the woke investment firms that are doing everything they can to, frankly, ruin our cherished ways of life in many ways and just put it into investments that just are as equally wise and financially viable and everything else. They just happen to be in companies that are just doing their job. If they're making shoes, they're making shoes, not sponsoring abortion legislation or what have you. So, yeah, totally free. And man, I want to stress the size of the movement too. There is a movement of people. You're not alone. This is by God's grace, where we've been one of the fastest growing investment firms in the nation and the top three fastest growing investment firms in the nation for the past number of years. We're managing over $2 .3 billion and we're not the only firm here. We have colleagues that work labor alongside. This is a movement and you get to be a part of that. If you go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric, you figure out how easy it is to just be intentional instead of conforming to Wall Street recommendations for your life, which might not be in your best interest. So, please consider that. Ladies and gentlemen, look, this is game changing stuff. I want to be really clear. This is game changing stuff. If everybody listening to this program would do this and you would take your money out of the funds that are doing evil things, it is a game changer in America because not only are you defunding these companies from doing bad things, but you're giving companies an incentive to do the right thing. You're saying, you know what, we better be careful. We shouldn't give our money to Planned Parenthood or to whatever evil things they're doing because you know what, there's going to be pushback. We're going to lose people. People aren't going to invest in us. So, I'm asking you to go to inspireadvisors .com slash Eric. It is free, folks. It is free. Please do this. Resist the inertia.

As I think I promised you in the previous segment, today it's my privilege to introduce to you someone to whom I think you ought to have been introduced much earlier than now. His name is James Lindsay. Some of you will be familiar with him. He's tough to sum up, and those are my favorite kind of people because I aspire to be one of those kind of people. His bio says he's an American -born author, mathematician. You see, we've already taken a sharp left, and professional troublemaker. He's written many books on a range of subjects, religion, philosophy of science, postmodern theory. Two, he's a leading expert on critical race theory, which means, of course, that he rejects it utterly. He's written many books. Why don't we just get him on here? James Lindsay, welcome to the program. Hey, Eric. Great to see you. You don't sound too enthusiastic. You don't want to oversell. Now, listen. Yeah, it's morning. Listen, you. I know it's early where you are, but honestly, you are tough to sum up. For my audience that is not familiar with you, I know you through turning point events and other things and here and there, but how would you help somebody understand how you got to be doing what you're doing now, and you're an expert on critical race theory, and how did this start for you? Where did you grow up? Can we start there? Yeah, we can go all the way back. Actually, my family is from two different parts of New York State, but nowhere near the city, so I have roots, New York but we moved down to East Tennessee very early on in my life when I was five. I grew up primarily in East Tennessee, so I'm an Appalachian culturally, but with this parentage that made fun of Appalachian culture that didn't quite let it take full root. Difficult to sum up even from childhood, I suppose, but I grew up in East Tennessee. You're not part of a jug band, is that what you're trying to tell me? No, I'm not. I did learn at one point when I was a teenager to play the spoons, but that's been a while.
Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from BCB127_AMERICAN HODL: Wisdom For Surviving The Bear
"All of your well -laid plans are going to be put to rest by the Bitcoin market. You know, I was very confident we were going to over 100k, I think a lot of people were. Then we didn't. And then I was equally confident, I was like, well, if the top wasn't as high, then maybe the bottom won't be as low. And then I was like, probably 30k, the bottom would be like 30k. And then it was, it was faster to 16. And that really shook a lot of people out, man. I mean, it was brutal. I knew people personally who were getting faken. Most people were just totally inconsolable. They're addicted to their fear. Fear like gets real close to you and it talks in your ear and it convinces you that it's correct. You've got to just push past that and you just you can't give in to fear. This is the Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast, a show where Average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin, we talk finance and we talk shit. Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. This is what you have been patiently waiting for. The inevitable, our run in with the legendary American Hodl. We hate to tug him off so obviously, but he was built to hang out on our show. Hodl would be equally comfortable for an 8 a .m. coffee hour at the firehouse as he would be philosophizing with the likes of Breedlove. We hope we evoked both of those extremes. Hodl has been in this game for a long time. He is a proper Bitcoin OG. This gives him the rare perspective of having been in the midst of his third bear market. Even when you have three under your belt, they are not easy. We talk about everything from raising kids to overcoming your fear of being penniless and destitute because you put all your money in Bitcoin. Fear and greed run markets, and if you aren't careful, they can run your life. Understand your psychology. As Socrates said, to know thyself is the beginning of wisdom. We can't argue with Socrates, but we can say that the beginning of wisdom is getting your Bitcoin off of exchanges. The best way to make that happen is by grabbing yourself a cold card Mark 4 and punching your seed keys into a seed plate. We cannot impart how important this is. All of your research, all of your understanding, all of your effort to obtain Bitcoin means absolutely nothing if the exchange you left your Bitcoin on goes belly up and shits the bed. So get those coins off of exchanges and into the most reliable, most secure place possible, the cold card. And if you want to get frisky, check out the new Q1 and its expanded capabilities above and beyond the cold card Mark 4. Before we start, we have some coupon codes to share. If you would like to attend Bitcoin Amsterdam or Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, get 10 % off tickets to either event with code BCB. Now, relax, enjoy this rip with American hodl. That's a stack of kids, my friend. Four in the litter. How are you holding up? This is only like a few weeks ago, right? It's it's good, man. I love having kids. Kids are the best. I I think parents like to complain about having kids, but like I do with the you know, it's like there's this George Peterson quote, which is like if you weren't going to have kids, like what the fuck would you be doing? That's so special. Like most of us are. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like I'm going to be inventing, you know, a new a new like equation for quantum field theory or something like I'm not doing any of that. So like, yeah, string theory is just a bit above our heads as well, you know? Right, exactly. So hanging out with the kids and, you know, playing Uno or goofing around is like, that's where I'm at. That's my song, right? The other thing you are, but I think of my kids just went back to school. So now I have like full days with nothing to do, but what I want to do. And you start to realize, like, what do people without kids in their thirties and forties do? There's just, oh, yeah, exactly. Yeah. You basically just get drunk in different locations. You're like, yeah, I went to Dublin and I got drunk and then I went to Istanbul and I got drunk and then I went to Rio de Ignar and I got drunk and you're like, okay, that's I didn't get drunk here. I got beer here, you know? Uh, yeah, people, people end up and I don't want to shit in the mouth of, of non parents here right off the bat, but fuck it. Let's do it. Everybody should have kids. It's well worth it. And I think at least based on my circle, most people I see that don't end up having children really, really wish they did. They get into their late thirties, forties and fifties and they realize, oh, I see what this whole thing's about. Um, highly recommend it. Get out there. Fuck everybody. Start fucking, start reproducing. Let's expand the species. Let's get more Bitcoiners. Yeah. Listen, if you don't have a, if you don't have kids, I consider you weak hands, you know, cause there's no one to get a huddle after your debt. So what you only got like max, you know, 40, 50 years of huddling there. All right. Like we need to extend that out. Seven generation thinking like my boy, Marty bent says, you know, I listened to you with, uh, the, your most recent chat with Peter and Peter was spending some time saying like, I love smart huddle. I like the glasses. I like the refined civilized huddle and Josh were like, Josh and I were like, fuck that shit. We want total huddle. If you don't deliver that today, you fucked up. Cause we need you fully unleashed my friend. All right. I mean, I'll do my best. Let's see what I got. Firehouse humor. Yeah. Oh yeah. I think you'd fit right into the firehouse based on some of the stuff I've heard you, uh, spew over the, over the years, I think you'd fit right in, especially coffee hour, eight o 'clock in the morning, just a bunch of degenerates. I don't know if you guys have seen the new Shane Gillis stand up on Netflix, but that's like my barometer for humor. Just like extremely immature playground humor, the way we used to talk to each other, you know, third grade. Yeah, exactly. Those are sort of litmus tests for like how far you can go culturally. You're like, Oh, we weren't allowed to say that 10 years ago. He just went that far in that, in that Netflix special. I guess that's the, that's the tip of the spear for how far we can go. Chappelle broke some boundary. A lot of people have broken boundaries on Netflix in the last, comedy in general has been regressive over the last 10 or 15 years. Like every, so many things have been taboo to say, especially for comedians, which really ruins comedians and only like Dave Chappelle can get away with it and a few others, but comedy has really been shit on in the last 10 years. I think the left went too far and they canceled basically too many people and you can't cancel everybody because then now you just have like half the country that's canceled. Right. And so, you know, all the canceled people, it's not like you killed them. Like they're still alive and they're just like, you know what? I don't give a shit about being canceled. And that's like where everybody's at nowadays. And so I am starting to see, like, I think the, you know, canceled culture has peaked and now we're on the other side of canceled culture. And there's a bunch, bunch of people who basically realize like, if you don't cancel yourself, nobody can really cancel you. You just, you just choose not to give a shit about it. I think it was actually Trump that taught everybody that maneuver. Right. Which is like, you know, whatever, I don't care, whatever you say about me, I don't give a fuck, you know, whatever. Uh, and you know, he's just going to, he's just going to keep going out there and calling you stormy horse face Daniels or whatever. He doesn't keep a shit. And you can be like, you know, you were the worst president ever. He'd be like, that's false. That was the best, best president. So you just don't let any of it get in there. You just go, no, he broke a ton of clown barriers. Trump did. He was masterful with the way he could do that. And if that guy had one characteristic that I admire, it's his ability to spin move out of any accusation by calling the other person, an ingenious nickname that stuck, like just nailed it every single time nickname ever. I think it was low energy Jeb. Who comes up with low energy Jeb. And then you would look at him and you'd be like, man, he is really low energy. Yeah, these things work a cup of coffee, you know, shortcut narratives are really effective. Speaking of presidents, you guys see Biden the other day and it was a yesterday in Vietnam. He literally got hooked off the stage because he started mumbling nonsense about something that was far off of what they were talking about. They turned his mic off while he was talking and he kept talking. And then they had an announcer get on and basically say, oh, you're done here, Mr. President, get, they got the hook out and they pulled him off stage. It was like, watch, watch this clip. Yeah, it was, it was insane. Shepherd came out. It was full blown, like, all right, get this fucking guy out of here before he makes us look even dumber. Unbelievable. You know, in a nation of 360 some odd million Americans, I think many of us are very intelligent. Uh, the last two presidents have been kind of, you know, not up to snuff, right? Like where are our good people, you know, like, yeah, we're not sending our best anymore, unfortunately. It is comical, but it's also downright embarrassing because, and I've heard enough out of you to know that you'll agree with this, I'm still very proud to be an American, I think there's a lot of wonderful things that this, this country stands for and imbues and, and it's done and it's, it's a downhill slope right now on both sides. And I just laugh at, I mean, obviously like most Bitcoiners and Josh and I are aligned on this, I just, both sides are in full blown, full frontal clown mode and, and anybody that's latching onto either candidate at this point, I almost lose respect for it. It's like, how can you take either of these guys seriously? But we need to dig out of that. Like that, that needs to be fixed to your point. That's not something that that's healthy for the average American citizen to just be resigned to the fact that the leader of the entire nation is a complete idiot, we need to dig out of that and hopefully reverse that trend. Well, you know, in general, I lean conservative usually, but I actually have been, uh, you know, found myself very intrigued by Robert F Kennedy Jr. And it's not just because he's a Bitcoiner, but I think he really has the discourse into the Overton window, right? Like by basically being like, why am I not, I'm a Democrat my whole life. My father was, you know, a president, a Senator, a presidential candidate. My uncle was killed. He was one of the most popular democratic presidents of all time. Why am I not allowed to say this? Why am I not allowed to have opinions or questions? And yet in America, I feel like anytime we lose our foundational principle, which is, you know, free speech, anytime we're losing that we're losing our soul as a almost anything you want without significant repercussions, that's, that's just how things are. Like, obviously if you say something that's very racist or hateful or homicidal or genocidal or something, then people are going to be, they're gonna have a lot of feelings about it, but there's very little speech. That's actually illegal speech, right? And we should be able to, yeah, just get together in a room and discuss things as Americans. That's a very rare thing. Like that's, that's not something that you find in almost any other culture on earth. You know, I was talking to Peter McCormick McCormick about this, but like the British sarcastic, dry humor that they're all known for that is because they don't have free speech. So they have to be sarcastic. That's never occurred to me before that either. Right. They have a shield to hide behind and they can be like, Oh, come on, mate. I was just taking the piss. Whereas we as Americans can just say what the fuck we actually think, which is a more effective system. They, they have to, I mean, I'm glad it happened because I love British humor. Yeah. They have to show a side boob. They can't go full frontal. You know what I mean? Exactly. Gentlemen. I'm sure you guys will both agree with this point as well. So we've got these clown puppet leaders that we're, we're just accosted with every four years and have to deal with the shit sandwich or the giant douche. And we've got to pick between the two of them. But then there's also like every time there's like, I mean, I'd say most times there's a new law, some new bullshit with COVID that happened in the last couple of years, I'm stunned by the stupidity and heavy handedness, which a lot of this stuff comes down. And it's like, it's like, I'm disappointed by how bad these takes can be and how bad these real changes are and how overbearing a lot of this has been, especially in the last few years. But it seems like every time a new law is, is instantiated, it's just feels wrong on its face. And I feel like people are so numbed to it at this point that they just say, they just expect it to be the wrong thing instead of what we would prefer to have. Or I think people from our circles would prefer to have at least. What are your thoughts on that? About how there's just like this numbness about how these people operate. Well, there's, you know, we're recording this on nine 11 and one of the reasons I wanted to record with you guys, cause you're both firefighters and I think not, you know, we're all around the same age. Nine 11 was the seminal moment of our young lives. And obviously like certainly had an effect on both of you, I'm sure. And I'd love to hear your stories about that. Um, but you know, to me, I'm, I'm, I have a good, I have a great memory. That's it's a gift and a curse. And one of the things that, uh, I remember is the world pre nine 11. I remember what it was like, and we're now living in an entirely different world. That's not better. It's a worst world. You know, we have an, a heightened security state, a heightened surveillance state. I mean, you used to be able to just, you know, what is TSA really accomplished? Like, did they prevent any new, uh, atrocities? I don't think they did because one guy tried to bomb a shoe bomber shoes, and now we are going to take off my, I got to take off my fucking band, slip -ons every time, you know what I mean? And your belt crying shame. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking shoe bomber. I mean, it is, it is like, we appreciate you bringing that up. It is, uh, in the fire service, it's, it's the day of the year. Um, and it, it's been said for a couple of decades now, never forget. But I feel like the fire service, Josh has done a pretty good job of not forgetting. Like you still see it on a lot of fire trucks. Every single firehouse around the country is honoring it today. There's a moment of silence that comes over dispatch. There's events that happen every year and yeah, I don't know. This is just a complete sidebar on nine 11, but it was fucking insane. Fucking insane. I was in sixth grade. I remember where I was as everyone does. Um, and wasn't fully able to appreciate the magnitude, but as the years have gone watching back in the documentaries and thinking through just like from our vantage point, um, I, Josh, we've talked about this before with our career. Like there is a degree of submission to risk. It doesn't happen very often. We don't want to overplay the hero card here. And the vast majority of our job where paramedics, we rotate ambulance to fire truck, but when this shit happens, it's real. And you've kind of sworn an oath to not have a choice, but to go into that, if that happens in your career, that second story bedroom to risk your life for a kid or whatever, all those men and women that went into that building, obviously hindsight's 2020, but if we worked in New York at that time and, and had the badge on, we would have had, we would have done the exact same thing. So, um, yeah, the heroism that existed by I agree, like to, to get, to get back off the nine 11 is just like, what, how has the world improved in any way, shape or form since then? And it has not in many ways, it's devolved in the opposite direction and we need new currents that flow the opposite way that, that get us back to a lot of American ideals, which is part of what we've latched onto the most about what you've said. And spoken into this community. Totally. We see, uh, so the Patriot act was instantiated right afterwards, which took away a whole, it added surveillance, took away a whole bunch of fundamental rights. And it was supposed to be sunsetted. I don't remember if it was five or 10 years after nine 11, but they extended it and they've continued to extend it since then. It's again, back to what we were just talking about. Like these, it's almost like a peg in, they get a foothold in and the politicians never relinquish any power whatsoever. It's always another step up. Another squeezing of, of the populace. They peg a shit coin into, into American ideals, kind of like potentially pegging shit coins into Bitcoin with drive chains. I don't know. Maybe we ended up today. Smooth transition there. I can't think of a worse way to honor all of the brave guys, you know, who ran into the towers when they were on fire. Then what we've done in the aftermath of nine 11, you know, I just can't think of a worse world. I saw it. I saw an Instagram post that actually made me pretty emotional. It was a, you know, young, pretty girl. She's probably in her like late twenties now. And she went to visit the Memorial cause her father was FDNY and he ran into the building. He ran into tower two and he collapsed on him and she grew up her whole life without her father. Right. And he made the ultimate sacrifice. And that's something that you guys have to, you know, that's an interesting conversation actually like around risk.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 13 Willard Romney's Revenge? Dems Legitimizing Prostitution? Oliver The Fake?
"Hey, feeling unsure about your finances these days? You're not alone. That's why Noble Gold Investments is here to help. Just hear it straight from the people who they've helped. The Noble crew walked me through everything with no stress. With their help, I could finally sleep easy at night. And now this month, Noble Gold Investments is handing out a free 5 -ounce silver America the Beautiful coin if you qualify for an IRA. Invest in gold and silver with Noble Gold Investments. Go to noblegoldinvestments .com right now. That is noblegoldinvestments .com right now. Hey, everybody. Happy Saturday. Thought Crimes. I joined late to this because I was at our Pastor Summit. But Andrew, Blake, and Jack carry the water for the first part of the episode. Talk about Mitt Romney. Talk about the Virginia Hooker. And then we also talk about Oliver Anthony, who I call a ginger Bernie Sanders with a banjo. Thought Crimes, where we say things that you're not even allowed to think in Western society. This is your warning. I'm just warning you that, yes, there is things in this episode that are not always appropriate for homeschoolers. Email us as always freedom at charliekirk .com and get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's edition, this week's edition of Thought Crime. Are you ready to commit thought crime? Because we've got a lot. Let's go around the horn. I'm not even sure because we got a lot of craziness going on right now. Our gas prices are up almost a full dollar here since last week, almost. And I was in California about a week ago. And I think are you guys hitting about six, almost $6 a gallon right now? Yeah, we are. Yeah, it's about five. How do you do it? I mean, honestly, Santa Barbara is a small town, so we don't drive a whole bunch. We don't feel it as much as probably like, you know, our Los Angeles friends. But I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, California is and actually this, this includes Arizona, Nevada, I believe, Washington and Oregon are considered the same sort of gas island. So they are as it has to do with where the oil comes from. It has to do with where they're getting refined. California has all these special additives and regulations that the refineries, these these benchmarks that refineries need to hit. So it can only come from certain refineries. So it limits the supply even more. It's a whole problem. So Charlie will be here in a little bit. He's at the Pastor Summit right now. He's dealing with some stuff. He's taking care of business on assignment, of course, for Turning Point USA, the faith coalition. But we're here. We're going to hold down the fort until Charlie returns. So shoot us your emails freedom at Charlie kirk .com. Let's get into the first topic here. This one, I think we've all talked about it, but we haven't all mentioned it together. This one, the the revenge or should we say the elegy for Willard Romney? Willard Mitt Romney has announced he's quitting the Senate total rage quit right before the 2024 election. So he's going to serve out the remainder of his term. And of course, as befits his character, he's riding off into the sunset by having the globalists at the Atlantic publish a completely obnoxious passive aggressive interview, trashing his colleagues, trashing Trump, trashing the GOP base. So what is the final word on the GOP 2012 standard bearer, the man who was the nominee for president in 2012? And, Blake, I think you actually have an excerpt from the from this article that's by McKay Coppins in the Atlantic. Oh, well, yeah, exactly, Jack. It's it's amazing. So, of course, he's everything about Romney is, you know, the supposed like, you know, politeness and decorum and all the damage that Trump does to our democracy by being always the last Boy Scout. Yeah, yeah, the last Boy Scout. So naturally, what he does is he announces he's retiring. And then, you know, in perfect timing with it, McKay Coppins has this biography that he's putting out that's, you know, all about Romney and has all these like data points in it. And he's basically just like Romney doing like a drive by shooting on other members of the Republican Party as he leaves. Let's see, like one of the lines from it. This is a summary as Axios summarizes it helpfully for us. Romney shares a unique disgust for senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas, who he thought were too smart to believe Trump won the 2020 election. But, quote, put politics above the interests of liberal democracy and the Constitution. And then the even wilder one is for Senator J .D. Vance of Ohio. He says, quote, I don't know that I can disrespect someone more than J .D. Vance. That is a direct quote from Senator Romney describing Senator Vance, who he still has to, you know, share a Senate chamber with for the next year before he actually quits. But, you know, J .D., I mean, can can someone explain what what what is J .D. Vance done in his time in the Senate that's been so ill reputable? It could. Does anyone have what when he went to East Palestine and it seems it seems his crime is that went on there? I'm trying to figure this out. It seems his crime is that, you know, J .D. Vance came out of Ohio. He went to Yale, I believe it was. And then he was in finance and was, you know, and then wrote his memoir, which was very well received. And he's this up and comer on the coast. And then I guess he moved back to Ohio, started doing too many appearances on Tucker Carlson tonight. And like, according to Romney, it was like the transformation was just was just too jarring, like it was too too much of a transformation for for Mr. Romney, who himself has basically transmuted into this like Democrat, I guess. But that doesn't count. This is an interesting this is an interesting take on on all of it. And Andrew, maybe you can give us a sense of it, because what I think that Romney is really upset about here is that he's considering J .D. Vance a class a class traitor. He's calling him a class traitor and saying, look, you're allowed to make money in finance. You're allowed to make go to Yale. You're allowed to go to the great schools. But the one thing and you're certainly allowed to run for the Senate. But the one thing you're not allowed to do is actually go out to the people of your state, listen to the their interests and listen to their issues and then grow and go and try to actually represent them in the United States Senate. This I is think class traitor. I think that's really smart framing, Jack, because at some level, a lot of this is much more about vibe. It's much more about what Mitt Romney thinks is classy versus gross or respectable versus, you know, essentially untoward and beyond the pale. Right. So it's all based on his own little framework of of class structure, of decorum, those sorts of things. So it says here in this, he says he was also highly critical of Senator J .D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, who reinvented his persona to become a Trump acolyte after publishing a bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy about the working class that Romney loved. So Romney loved the book. So at some level, I think it was just like, so I love this book. And how can this kind of become like a Trump bootlicker? Go ahead. Right. So I can there's there and just real quickly, it's kind of like because in the book, J .D. Vance's conclusions, I would say I don't offer this as criticism. I just say it's sort of it's an evolution on J .D. Vance's part because he sort of just says in the book, well, that that sort of that blase classic Republican line of, you know, and everybody just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I can do it. So can you. And we should cut taxes for big businesses and the one percent pays most of the income tax and that that's kind of it. And then when he went to actually run for office and started really engaging with people politically, that's when he shifted, not socially. Right. But he shifted economically to become more of a populist. Blake, what you're saying? Well, what's so telling in this article is like some of the just a little specific anecdotes that it does pick. And I almost wonder if Coppins is like subtly trolling Romney. Apparently Romney lives by himself and his family in D .C. It mentions let me get let me get the line here. It talks about his his his pad that he lives in. And it says the place had not been Romney's first choice for Washington residents when he was elected in twenty eighteen. He'd had his eye on a newly remodeled condo at the Watergate with glittering views of the Potomac. His wife, Ann, fell in love with the place, but his soon to be staffers and colleagues warned him about the commute, which, by the way, it's like a mile and a half to the Capitol. So he grudgingly chose practicality over luxury and settled for the two point four million dollar townhouse instead. And then, of course, this is not good enough for for Ann. So she never visits him when he's in D .C. So it turns into a gross bachelor pad that has it mentions there's crumbs everywhere.

Fewer people died in the Maui wildfires than were initially reported. After the devastating fire swept through Lahaina last month the official death toll sat at 115 for weeks. On Friday Governor Josh Green announced the death toll has been revised down to 97. US auto workers are striking at all three of Detroit's major car companies. The United Auto Workers strike will halt production of the Ford Bronco Jeep Wrangler Chevy Colorado and other models. Union President Sean Fain said it's the first time in their history that they're striking GM Ford and Stellantis at the same time. Former President Trump is denying accusations he asked Amara Lago staffer to delete security footage sought by federal investigators in his classified documents case. In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press Trump called the charge false and noted that no tapes were ever deleted. When they asked for the tapes I said sure I could afford them I didn't even have to give them. Just so you understand though we didn't delete anything. Trump is facing 40 criminal counts related to obstruction of justice and alleged efforts to keep classified material after leaving the White House. California is one step closer to becoming the first state in the nation to call for a constitutional convention.
Bitcoin & Crypto Trading: Ledger Cast
A highlight from Is crypto dead?
"Hello, welcome to Leisure Cast. My name is Brian Farsgaard here with the one, the only Josh Olsowich. Hey, Josh, Brian, how are you? I'm doing great. How are you doing? Good. It's hoodie season back in my natural form. This is my favorite time of year. The crowd wants to know, not because it's tax filing season, but because it is not miserably hot anymore. That's true. It was 90 upper 90s here last week. It was nuts. Oh, that's hot. Yeah. Yeah, no, I love it because the humidity calms down. Yeah. Temperature calms down. People get back from their summer breaks and maybe they start trading. I don't really care about that part. Oh, you're in the deep south because you got that gross, gross heat plus humidity. Yeah. So I need this break. I need this break. I love this season. Football is back. I know you care about that a lot. Huge fly Eagles fly. That's what they tell me to say. They say They here. played quite well last night. I did. I watched a bit of it. They did play well. Yeah, football season, playoff baseball. I mean, fall is really the greatest time. The changing of the leaves eventually. We won't get that for a little while, but we have much to be thankful for. Thanksgiving. Speaking of thankful, that's not too late. We have much to be thankful for, Josh. Bitcoin does well on Thanksgiving, historically. Well, could have fooled me this month. Look, we might be grasping at straws here, but there's not much else to talk about. Not much is going on right now. Everybody's just kind of waiting for a bunch of things. Yeah. And we're just in limbo here. You know, the old trusty 200 week is one with the price. Ethan BTC. We're just basically the average of... We're below it, though. What if this is the historic high ever for the 200 week? What if it only curls down below it forever more? That would be pretty bad. It's certainly a sign of being sideways at best when you're hovering around all the moving averages of whatever sorts you want to analyze. There's really not a lot to say on Bitcoin. I think the market is so thin in both directions that we are one headline away from a 10 % day one way or the other. Something bad goes down with an exchange that rhymes with... Finance. Let me see if I can find a word, Josh. And, you know, that's the negative 10 % day potentially. But if we get that BlackRock ETF, maybe... We're gonna be saying that for like six months. It'll just be around the corner, guys. Just wait another few weeks. BlackRock's gonna come save us, guys. Not a place we want to be, you know? The same thing with halving. You don't want to be the central focus, even though that's how it's been historically. This is no different than 2020, 2016. It's no different. It's just, you know, same stuff, different day. It's got to be boring, even in the good times. Even when there is another cycle, historically there has been. There's still loads of time that's just boring where people get sucked out of the ecosystem, lack of paying attention, etc. Hey, Josh, I want to give a shout out. Thanks, RedScrutinizer, for bringing it up early in the show. We usually mention it towards the end that Josh does videos. But Josh does videos, and you should check them out at Carpe Noctem on YouTube. Carpe Noctem. I don't know how to spell it, so I'm saying it. Yeah, that'll help. People have no clue. It's N -O -C -T -O -M? There you go. You know what I randomly looked today at our... This has turned into a podcast of a podcast, but I looked at our reviews on some podcast stream, and it was over four and a half stars. I was like, oh shit, we got... People like us? I guess so. I don't know. I will say there has been a steady crew who have watched and listened to this show for like six years. It has been six years, Josh. They've tolerated us for quite some time. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. We started in 17, so six years. Six years you've known me. I've owed you a stake for about three. It's true. That's very true. Yeah. Thanks for being here, y 'all. Appreciate you. Even when it's really boring, how can you possibly make money when it's not boring if you can't be here when it's boring? Well, look, there's two things you can do. You can learn about the tech, which might sound cliche, but I did a lot of my Bitcoin learning in 2015, 2014. You know, there's not all those damage else to do, then like to learn what the hell's going on with this stuff, right? Drink the Kool -Aid, get indoctrinated, whatever. That was the time. Look at some of these long timers in the chat, Karen, Callie. We actually met in person one time even. She's been here for most of the time since we've been recording. I like this one. I like you, but I also hate you since 2019. Thank you, Liam. We will take it. You know, the thing is we have very little agenda other than our own bags, but we're just talking about our thoughts about them here. We're not trying to convince you to buy them or sell them or anything else. We're just discussing it and y 'all are here because you decided to listen to conversation. So there's very, very, very little opportunity to be victim to our terrible words. Well, hip hop is right. The best content does come during the bear market, I think. Yeah. So anyway, back to price. Yes, I've been DCA for months. I could care less with prices. The lower it goes, the happier I get because that means I get more BTC. If it goes below 15, sure. I don't care. I'm not worried about, we've talked about this for weeks, but if we're below 15 and it's 2025, then we're in trouble. But if we're boring and oscillating between 23 and 30 for the next six months, I'm not worried about it personally. 23 and 30 would be great. This drive chain nonsense is exciting me because governance debates historically have been bullish. If nobody cares about what you do with the chain, then it's not a good chain. Sure. Yeah, I agree. The ultimate crazy shower thought is where does BlackRock, how do they vote on the fork? Are people actually talking about a fork? No, but let's say it comes to that. I'm not talking about the most likely scenario here. I'm talking about a potential scenario. I'd assume they'd vote with the miners. I'd assume they'd vote for it. I don't know. There was something in the prospectus about forks for the BlackRock ETF. I can't remember exactly what it said, but yeah, I don't know. That'd be interesting. If that comes to pass, I don't think it will, but something to think about way down the line. Yeah. Zero X, lots of vowels says ESG fork. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Fink has really backed off the CEO of BlackRock. He's really backed off of the ESG narrative. And if anything, we're getting a lot of press on the side of Bitcoin being ESG friendly. So it's really... Grid stabilization. Yeah. It's really changed after that. I think the New York Times piece was the bottom of the dirty Bitcoin narrative potentially. I think grid stabilization has to exist though. They have to figure out how does this not just waste energy, but how does it create stability? How does it use renewables? You have to push into those things really hard because otherwise I personally feel like proof of work feels kind of pointless if it's not just work, but it's also waste. Proof of work that's not waste, I think is fine. Well, you're securing the assets. What are the values for all of the banks globally? I know, but proof of stake is also doing a pretty good job of securing the assets. Proof of stake has yet to prove itself. It hasn't been a successful proof of stake chain since existed. it's We haven't seen Ethereum proof of stake in a bull market and it hasn't done so hot so far. So it needs time to prove itself. That's all I'm saying. Look at any proof of stake coin historically, and they don't do well for whatever reason, they do not do well. I'm not saying it's not secure. I'm just saying, look, it hasn't done well. Yeah, undeniable. I'm not sure about that. Let's pull up CoinGecko. You tell me which. EOS? Has that done well? Oh, come on. I'm talking about will Ethereum do well with proof of stake? Yeah. Okay. But I'm saying we can't just assume ETH is going to do well because it's ETH. It's changed its security model. It's changed the yield component. It hasn't proven itself yet in my eyes. That's all I'm saying. Neither has Solana, neither has Tron, Cardano, Dot, Matic. All this stuff hasn't really done anything or gone anywhere. Five years ago, we had a list of other 10 proof of stake coins that didn't do anything. I maintain this philosophy of Bitcoin versus Ethereum, wherein the variability of Ethereum is okay. It does change. It does have governance adjustments, but it's still pretty Chad -like. BTC, you know what you get. It can be good, but you just know what you get. That doesn't make Ethereum bad. Alts should have higher beta to Bitcoin. They're just riskier. And that's where all the stupid stuff happens. So yeah, there's the Lido issues with these. But there's issues with every proof of stake coin. Historically, they just don't do well over time. That's all I'm saying. There's issues with miner centralization as well. Of course. But miner centralization issues are very similar to the staking centralization issues. Similar, but I wouldn't say the same. All I'm saying is if you're drinking the ETH Kool -Aid, I don't care which side of the debate you're on. I'm just saying find one proof of stake coin that does well over time. I haven't seen it. I have not seen it. Ripple doesn't count. Doge doesn't count. Litecoin doesn't count. You will, don't worry. I hope ETH is the first one. But we just haven't seen it. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. ETH BTC appears to just want to keep going droopy sideways down. I don't know if we call this a direction or not. I mean, that is a downtrend over the last year, one year of downtrend. But it's not like puke -y. You want to hear a crazy thought? Bitcoin's having will be more bullish for ETH than it will be for Bitcoin. Sure. I don't think that's that crazy. It's down 23 % in a year, ETH BTC. Relative to previous bear markets, that's not much at all. 80%. Suzanne's got time. Or I'm saying we've created some stabilization in these asset ratios. I don't know. Well, it doesn't look bullish, but it doesn't look turbo bearish. You know, it looks neutral. It looks like it's ready for lows. It doesn't look like it wants to go higher, that's for sure. But would you expect it to? It's not the coin that's getting an ETF. It's not the coin that has all the flows. ETH? Yeah. Oh, dude, the first thing you do once the Bitcoin ETF is announced is assume the ETH ETF is on the way. Right. We've talked about this, that the best news for ETH is, of course, a Bitcoin ETF. Who cares about Bitcoin, right? That's fine. I'm not going to disagree with you. But I'm saying in the moment, the flows are just not going to come to ETH first. ETH will have its day. There's no doubt ETH will be at 10K. Clip it, chat, clip it and ship it. Talk to me in 2025. ETH BTC may do super well. It may go to 0 .1. But over time, it has not done well. I do like T -Bells flip mode. ETH. I think most of the civilized universe likes T -Bells. ETH to 10K is where you lost me. Not because... Is that too low? No, no, no. Not because I was unhappy. I was euphoric. Okay. That's all I need. Just little ETH to 10K action, Josh, and sunset. We ride off into it. That's all we need. You know what else I was thinking? What's that? It's the constant thought of these institutional products. Are they going to offer a yield component? Eventually, they should. I just don't know if that's baked in to the initial applications, right? Yeah. Shouldn't probably be baked into the initial applications. Why not? What if you have BlackRock, you know, take over Lido? What a crazy thought that is, you know? It is a crazy thought. Then we really get to see how good Proof of Stake is. Yeah, I just got excited. I think we need to think like that because of the institutional influence that's clearly going to be here eventually, right? What's going to happen when OFAC compliant BlackRock takes over ETH, you know? Same thing with Bitcoin. They're buying miners. They've got influence on all sorts of stuff. Just something to think about long term. Yeah. I don't think we've really seen the wars that will exist, like have looked puny compared to the wars of the future. No, I don't think we'll have BTC staking. But I don't know. Things could get wild, right? Absolutely wild when the most important asset manager on the universe is in our backyard all of a sudden, you know? Yeah. I want to talk about the dollar. But first, there was a ruling this week where there were two dissenting opinions in crypto's favor. But I don't remember what the ruling was on. Do you remember? I thought one was for Uniswap, but that was two weeks ago. No, it was about the Stoner Cats thing. NFT stuff. As an NFT person, what are your thoughts on that? I think a lot of NFTs played like dance real close to the fire. But at the same time, I think it's really interesting and encouraging to see SEC commissioners write these dissenting opinions and making pretty direct correlations to things like Star Wars collectibles of the past. Like, for someone to purchase a Star Wars collectible and think that, okay, this might be valuable in the future is not an unreasonable thought. That does not make it a security, you know? That said, I don't know that I would say like Stoner Cats or many other NFT projects were like in perfect compliance with what they were doing, too. Like, they might have been going a little hard on the, hey, a number might go up thing versus like... They were a product of their time. Versus enjoy the cats, you know? You buy it for the quality of the art.

"Not leave all that <Speech_Male> extra amount <Speech_Male> on the table. <Speech_Male> Additionally, <Speech_Male> we're talking about different <Speech_Male> kind of funnels <Speech_Male> to acquire <Speech_Male> different types of people. <Speech_Male> Mentioned <Speech_Male> that if you're looking <Speech_Male> for those top <Speech_Male> clients that you <Speech_Male> are making a whole bunch, <Speech_Male> the trip <Speech_Male> wires and stuff, <Speech_Male> the $17 <Speech_Male> giveaways are <Speech_Male> going to work a lot differently. <Speech_Male> So you kind of got to <Speech_Male> understand who <Speech_Male> you're attracting. <Speech_Male> And if <Speech_Male> that's you who's able to <Speech_Male> make 20, 30, 40, <Speech_Male> 50, 60, <Speech_Male> a $100,000 <Speech_Male> for one client, <Speech_Male> you're probably <Speech_Male> going to approach them a <Speech_Male> different way. We <Speech_Male> went through Josh's <Speech_Male> way of <Speech_Male> working his business, <Speech_Male> his podcast <Speech_Male> is daily <Speech_Male> podcast becoming <Speech_Male> 5%. <Speech_Male> You hear him <Speech_Male> being the go giver in <Speech_Male> everything that we're talking <Speech_Male> about from <Speech_Male> every step of the way he's <Speech_Male> talking about being a <Speech_Male> go giver. And just <Speech_Male> at the last question, <Speech_Male> the very <Speech_Male> last question when I said <Speech_Male> if the <Speech_Male> listener is <Speech_Male> feeling overwhelmed, <Speech_Male> like maybe I <Speech_Male> shouldn't do this podcast <Speech_Male> because <Speech_Male> it used to be easier <Speech_Male> what <Speech_Male> advice would you have? And I <Speech_Male> got like 12 freaking <Speech_Male> quotes <Speech_Male> here. One of <Speech_Male> them is, it's okay <Speech_Male> that it takes time. <Speech_Male> I love that. <Speech_Male> I mean, that is what's <Speech_Male> an inspirational <Speech_Male> thing is <Speech_Male> most of us <Speech_Male> in the 2020s <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> are <Speech_Male> wishing that everything would <Speech_Male> happen overnight. <Speech_Male> And that's <Speech_Male> not how real business <Speech_Male> happens. <Speech_Male> I've heard of <Speech_Male> a lot of people that <Speech_Male> you see <Speech_Male> that get overnight <Speech_Male> success. <Speech_Male> They rebuttal <Speech_Male> and say like, <Speech_Male> yeah, that was a <Speech_Male> 25 year overnight <Speech_Male> success. <Speech_Male> Or that was a 6 year <Speech_Male> overnight success <Speech_Male> or you didn't see <Speech_Male> what had happened <Speech_Male> for the last 30 <Speech_Male> years before <Speech_Male> I finally made <Speech_Male> it big and finally made <Speech_Male> money. It's <Speech_Male> okay that it takes <Speech_Male> time. Quote <Speech_Male> from Josh Ellis. <Speech_Male> Don't shortcut <Speech_Male> the journey. Enjoy <Speech_Male> the journey. Be part of <Speech_Male> the journey. So quote <Speech_Male> number two, don't <Speech_Male> shortcut the journey. <Speech_Male> It's okay <Speech_Male> to be in this. You <Speech_Male> should enjoy this. You should <Speech_Male> be part of it. <Speech_Male> Don't think about <Speech_Male> just the end, <Speech_Male> but be <Speech_Male> here present in <Speech_Male> the time that you're <Speech_Male> going through. And he <Speech_Male> talks about how <Speech_Male> your value comes from your <Speech_Male> experience. He talks about <Speech_Male> you can create <Speech_Male> your own luck, preparation <Speech_Male> meets opportunity, <Speech_Male> be that something for <Speech_Male> the audience. <Speech_Male> Basically another <Speech_Male> thing is if <Speech_Male> should I even start <Speech_Male> it and he's <Speech_Male> basically saying, yes, <Silence> <Speech_Male> be the value <Speech_Male> that your listener, <Speech_Male> your audience, your perfect <Speech_Male> client, your perfect <Speech_Male> avatar, <Speech_Male> needs, <Speech_Male> give them that <Speech_Male> thing. Talked <Speech_Male> about that there's <Speech_Male> other metrics that <Speech_Male> make it worth it. <Speech_Male> Besides just having <Speech_Male> listeners, talking <Speech_Male> about the power of the <Speech_Male> platform, utilizing <Speech_Male> power, use <Speech_Male> that platform <Speech_Male> to serve up <Speech_Male> and to meet those <Speech_Male> new people and to be <Speech_Male> close to those other <Speech_Male> people, to <Speech_Male> focus on what <Speech_Male> they want, going back to <Speech_Male> the go giver. He's <Speech_Male> talking about focusing <Speech_Male> on what that person <Speech_Male> wants. Leveraging <Speech_Male> generosity, <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> using finally, <Speech_Male> find out <Speech_Male> what they really want <Speech_Male> and give <Speech_Male> it to them <Speech_Male> for free. <Speech_Male> Again, given the <Speech_Male> value, don't hold <Speech_Male> back. It doesn't <Speech_Male> need to be close to chest. <Speech_Male> So if you <Speech_Male> are starting your podcast <Speech_Male> right now, <Speech_Male> the famous <Speech_Male> words of Josh <Speech_Male> allege, <Speech_Male> it's okay that it <Speech_Male> takes time. <Speech_Male> I will see <Speech_Male> you on the next <Speech_Male> episode. The next episode of the <Speech_Male> solo episode where <Speech_Male> it's just you and I <Speech_Male> I'm going to be pouring <Speech_Male> into you on the value <Speech_Male> that I know that you <Speech_Male> need to get.

"And so it's the scarcity mindset that you mentioned earlier, Josh, that people have. And I have noticed a lot of podcasters, maybe not our listener today, but other podcasters certainly that have the scarcity of mindset that believe that they've got to keep some stuff close to their chest so that they can make money with their show. And I think your thought and my thought and what we could pour into the listener is give freely the content that does mean just like Josh already said is to give the recording before his team even gets it. The raw recording they've already got it. They don't need to even tag him. Just give that content, let it be. It might something good might happen out of it. Additionally, I think when you're sharing any piece of advice, any piece of knowledge just give them the whole dang thing. All right, Josh, I have one last question that I want to ask you. And so we asked, what are you doing differently now? What is your podcast? What you've learned over 1400 episodes of recorded. What I want to know is what would you do differently? And what I mean by that is specifically, Josh, you kind of made me if I'm listening today. You kind of hurt my feelings. If I'm the listener, you kind of I had the puppy dog eyes of stoked about starting a podcast. I only knew the good stuff. And you hurt my feelings by saying to me, it's going to be hard. You told me, hey, you're listening, but it can't be just for a year. You've got to keep doing this. You've told me it used to be that I could get a thousand listeners immediately just by having a show, but now there's too much competition. And so now I'm feeling like I'm hearing this. I'm supposed to learn how to podcast. And he's telling me it's different now. It's harder now. And so what I'm wondering is, Josh, if you were launching a show today, if you were just barely going today, I want to know what would you do to get around the stuff that's harder?

"Feel yours. You can hear my tone of voice. You can see my body language, and that's 93% of the communication picture between those two. The words we choose to use, which are communicated in text are only 7%. So it's just a way to communicate better, increase connection, especially with a remote team. And a crowd pleasers, you can also reduce meetings with folly because a lot of the things you're doing don't really need to be done synchronously. But you do need to talk. And so volleys awaited talk, asynchronously. So I love that concept because I think we're all zoomed out or it's harder to log into meetings. Like you were saying, we need to get everyone together. And even though someone might say, well, hey, listen, Josh, I can record a video on It's still seems cumbersome or not second nature, but when you it's odd, you know, when you have a tool or a piece of tech or an app like that, you'll use it more because you default like you were saying, yes, I could send a video. But I default to texting where this is a real way for people to feel connected. And that's what I really liked about when I was on the website was this idea of reconnecting to the people side because we've been so disconnected over the last year and a half locked in our lock in our homes, but even zoom, it's not the same as a one on one message. That's right. And it's a subtle point that you bring up, but I think it's really important if a text box is our primary input method. Text messages. Yes, you can send a video over text, but when do you ever do it? And how often do you get one, right? Yes, every messenger app allows you to record a video, but you just don't do it because there's a text box staring at you..

"80 Josh. And we're back. This is Josh Galinsky, the financial quarterback. So Propublica recently talked about these billionaires with Ross. I'm sure you saw that and said, Well, this is what what I've been telling people to do for years. Maybe there were students of yours. Uh, so talk about what happened with Peter Thiel of People didn't read the article, and Oh, yeah. What were your thoughts on it? Well, First of all, Peter Thiel has $5 billion supposedly in his Roth I R A. So It's like the old question, Josh. How to be How do you How do you become a billionaire? Alright, first, you've got to have a billion dollars. You know, that's once you have a billion dollars, then it's easy, But here's what he did. First of all what he did. And I know the congressman and senators are all up in arms about it. He was just a good investor. He did what he did was totally legal. Back in 1999 he put in he contributed $2000. That's all $2000 to his Roth IRA. That was the limit then, and it was under the income limits because you didn't have much in earnings. So he qualified for $2000 Roth IRA put 2000 and then he took $1700 of that. Two of that $2000. And bought, uh, news stopped for PayPal. Uh, you start up stock for 1/10 of one cent per share. So we was able to buy 1.7 million shares for $1700. That's the only money he ever put in a Roth IRA that 2000 and then he invested as the papal took off the investment and other companies Facebook all of these other companies. And P s. He's got $5 billion. It is Roth IRA all growing tax free, but not so fast. First of all, I think he's about 53 50 40 years old, So it has to wait until 59 a half before you can touch any of it. The 2000 he could take out any time you can always get your original contribution back so he can get the 2000. But what is he going to live on until least 59 a half? Some people have suggested. So we started Go fund me page for him. You know it's a bridge loan to get him to 59 a half before he can touch his $5 billion, which by that time might be $10 billion all tax straight, But it's not over yet. And that's totally legal. It's just a great investor. You know, he's seized on an opportunity sort of like a lottery ticket opportunity. You know, it's not going to happen to most people, but he used the tax laws. But here's something remember, I said, it's all tax sprayed, but It's not a state tax sprayed when he dies. He's a young guy, hopefully, lives a long and happy, healthy life. That could be worth $30 billion. And that's when the government is going to put the book down. Who knows on a $30 billion state? It might be more than half of it goes right back to the tax man. But don't worry, there'll still be some crumbs his family will be able to somehow live on, so it's not over yet. It's an important point when they say Roth IRAs are always taxed. Income tax free. They are included in your estate, but the estate is a piece so that hit piece was a little bit misleading. Oh, yeah? Yeah, well, first of all, you know, Yeah, They made it sound and all, the senators said, how did he do that? We have to stop. People stop people from what is speculating investing. You're talking about one person that may represent a million or more other people that lost fortune speculating. That's what investing is in. Investing for return. What are you going to do? Tell people you can invest. If you invest your you're going to limit the returns, then what's the point of the stock market? So he just you know the he seized on an opportunity that came across to him. If they have one piece of some of the senators worried about this, where they may make a point, maybe he had access to investments that other investors didn't have access to. Maybe that's something they would They might say. Well, you know, it has To be. You can only invest in things that everybody can invested. That may be a fair point, but he didn't do anything wrong, and it's an aberration. But it does bring out the point that if you want a place to make some money, or if you think you have a good start for a good investment you wanted in Iraq because everything there will grow income tax free for the rest of your life. And Warren Buffett also came out as having a big Roth talk about that. I don't know about that. That's the first time hearing. How does he have a Roth? When did he did he do the same thing I only heard about Peter heard he had, like, 20, plus million that Iraq. Well, that's that's pocket change. No pocket change. Yeah. You know, Peter Thiel, you're talking five billion in an account. So we're all Warren Buffett must have done something similar, and it grew. But it's the same idea. You know if you're going to do something, and you Have a good investment idea. You probably want that investment to appreciate in a Roth IRA, where it all earns tax free. You can pull it out Tax free for the rest of your life Income tax break. Fantastic. Yeah, it was like 20 million. Which is back. Yeah. Yeah, it was. He came out in the article. Now, how could somebody actually do that today? Now For Peter Thiel, he put in PayPal and money. When no one else wanted it. It was worthless. It wasn't publicly traded that 1/10 of one cent per share. Yes. So that's remarkable. Now. I've heard over the years. Someone called the roll over for business startups. Uh, yeah. Don't go into that. Uh, yeah. You know what You can tell when something may not be a good idea when IRS gives it a name? I ours named this exactly the name that you gave it roll over its business startups and I r s uses an acronym called Rob's R O. B s when IRS named something Rob, You probably want to stay away from it. It was a strategy, which I probably wouldn't go near where? Let's say you have a small business or your startup company. Oh, I didn't know if that's what Peter Thiel did. Oh, no, no, no, He didn't do that at all. He had a straight. No, he had. He already had money in an I r a in a in a Roth IRA and invested it in that stock that was clear. That was no problem at all. The Raj thing you're talking about is when say a person has an idea for a start up business, but they don't have the capital so, but they have money in their IRA. So companies market this robs transaction that is not at all with Peter Thiel did what he did was fine. He had money and invested it. They tell you that you could roll your IRA money into a 41 K. You set up for your new company and use that to finance to buy the company. He stopped. The problem with that is most financial startups fail. So the what? You have the double the double whammy. Your business fails. And you used all your retirement savings. Now you have no business and no retirement. Say that's what happens The most people, so don't go near that kind of strategy. That's not at all with Peter Thiel. I didn't know I thought that was maybe what.

Just waiting for me to hang myself. They're there to help me. What I got was a lot more than I bargained for. Chris is calling an ambulance. Has that ever happened before? Yeah. This is a story about life after prison. It's about honesty and deception. I'm not a drug addict, Coke pills. I don't do heroin and all that crap. It's about the stories we tell ourselves about who we think we are. It was just a sour relationship I had He threw me into a table and it's a story about a man who thinks he knows what he's up against. If I can stay focused on my goals, I'll be good when, in fact, he has no idea what he's up against. You fell backward..

"888988. Josh 88988, Josh. Okay, we're back. This is Josh Kolinsky, the financial quarterback. With Tom Hagen, a best selling author. He notes speaker. So anything else you would say to people go? Oh, I listen to so someone so and they bad mouth and I talked to my accountant. About the annuity, and they don't like it. What do you say to that accountant? Well, I would just say they gotta get educated. Got to read the research that I've read on retirement. You cannot retire optimally without an annuity in the portfolio. That's not an opinion. That's a mathematical, scientific and economic fact. And here's why, inside of a portfolio the way that the incoming duty functions it functions like a triple A rated bond because it comes guaranteed every month. The rest your life, no matter how long you live with a triple C rated yield to pay outrageous, much higher than what you could get from bonds or other things with zero standard deviation and never fluctuates. So what Never. I meet an annuity hater. I say this I say, Um, Look, if if you think I'm wrong, just prove me wrong here. Here's all you gotta do. Build a portfolio that you think I cannot beat. Yeah. Put all the good stocks and they do that gap. And you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna reach into your portfolio. I'm gonna remove some of your bonds. I'm gonna replace it with some guaranteed lifetime income from ingenuity. Do you know what that will do that every single one Your portfolios, every single one of them it lower the risk and increased returns. And it's all because inside of that portfolio the way that that income annuity functions that functions like a triple A rated bond with a triple C rated young with zero standard deviation besides that, when you study happiness in retirement Happiness is tied almost 100% to guaranteed lifetime income, not assets. Think about it. Who are your happiest retired friends? It's your retired, a military Thai government. Retired teacher retired professor in fact is people pensions that the Wall Street Journal had a headline? You can Google it? It's It's on there Right now. You can Google it, It says the secret to a happy retirement is friends, neighbors and a fixed annuity. A time magazine from the same thing in Great Britain. Lifetime Income Stream Key to retirement, Happiness Towers Watson the night even the insurance industry did a whole study. And they found that all retirees were happier if they had a source of guaranteed lifetime income. And now the research shows that you're likely to live longer as well. You know, Freakonomics, You know, a lot of people follow me on Facebook and LinkedIn. And if you don't you sure? Can. I post a lot of fun stuff. I posted a Freakonomics studies actually University Chicago study. It was picked up by freaking on this pushed out through social media and was a university Chicago study that study people who bought lifetime in communities versus people who didn't you know? They found the people that bought the in communities lived longer than the people that didn't The best article I've ever read in that somebody was published about three years ago in the Journal for Financial Services Professionals. It was written by attorney Patrick Trigger, and he found that in the United States, a 65 year old male who purchases a life annuity can expect to live about 20% longer than a 65 year old male who does not and the whole rest. The article explained why people have been coming to his live longer. I mean, dumb, stupid things like they don't have as much stress. Don't worry. The market crashes 40% guess what they go play another 18 holes of golf with their buddy and because they're being paid to live. Guess what many of them live differently. They walked what they eat. They exercise. They see the doctor when they're not feeling well, and all these dumb, stupid things caused them to tend to live longer. And you know Jane Austen back in 18 11 in the book, Sense and Sensibility talked about how people who buy and who have annuities live forever. You can read that in Chapter two of Sense and sensibility written in 18 11. Annuities have been around for thousands of years, The Roman Empire issued annuities see running out of money has been the number one concern of people ever since there's been people and there's been money, it's not a new concern. That's great since vermin, sense and sensibility. The financial quarterback radio show. Where with Tom Hagena and the folks Hollis Sedated 89 today, Josh If you want his latest book, Don't worry, Retire Happy We're also going to talk about his latest white paper, the retirement Alfa White Paper won't talk about what is retirement Alfa? How can I get it? So I love what we're learning from you, Tom. So you're talking, You know, you talked to the annuity naysayers. Here's the other thing. A lot of people you think about who's happiest. It's somebody who gets mail box money right? They get checks coming in, whether it's a pension or an annuity. There is a happiness quotient to all that. That's that's such a good point. You don't have anybody say, you know, for all of the poo pooing that some people do in annuities, your people say I'm going to send my check back to the pension department. I'm going to send my social security. Check back to the government, Do you? No, that never happens. And I find it. I find it really dangerous. How? Remember these? You know, people say, Oh, I'd rather die and go to hell than buying annuity. What do you say to people who say that? I said he probably will. I know who said that? I said he probably will. You know what? Here's the deal when people claim that their fiduciaries, but they're not giving people guaranteed lifetime income. That's that smell practice in my book that the only reason they're not using annuities is because they don't want to have the clients take their money out of their accounts because they're getting paid fees. We calm forever fees. Many of these producers, they're not really there. I come fake fiduciaries their investment producers. They're not retirement, fiduciaries their their toe, invest it with local fees and all that. Well, okay, that's great. When you're saving and investing, that's not going to get you through retirement. Okay, You need to have some guaranteed lifetime income in retirement because of sequence of returns risk, and they don't know about Sequence of returns risk and they run Monte Carlo simulations which are ridiculous if you're if you're brokers running a money, Carlo simulation demand that they use H 100. They all use H 90..

"My world are a plethora of growing powerful people that day in and day out i see surrounding me like a force field and i use that to my advantage and i think about who's on my team. Who's on my side. Who can i call upon. If i needed something and these people in my mind just surround me and i think nobody's getting through this. This is great so by doing what you know. Darn well you're capable of doing you attract the very people. Who are that replica. Who aren't that mirror impression that we all are of each other and who do support and who do say. Wow man great job. look at what you're doing. I love that. I think the same way and everything works out. Well that's powerful message. A love josh. That ties into with your sane f that noise. there's a five step process. You talk about laying to us on that. Let's get the low down on the five step process of f. That noise. I sure well so early. On when i started seeing some positive results from the actions i was taking which is basically just methodically slowly but surely one at a time choosing to replace some of the some of the negative habits patterns and beliefs with slightly better ones. Sometimes it was obvious right. I'm like well. I should probably stop doing that. Every single night. Or i betcha. There's a better way to go about this in the afternoon. Because that ain't helping any of us show. Some things are easy to replace others. You have to be a little more deliberate and conscious or maybe it's not the right time but once you start implementing better habits. Over time i went back in my mind. And i said how did i get from there to here with certainly acknowledging that it's all a process and i have so far to continue to go never really ends with the with the growth. That's possible and the achievement. That is right there for all of us. So i said what have i been doing and i sort of mapped out. What made it work. And i realized that it came to be something i labeled. F that noise like you said yes. F that noise all that noise in your head that are all your own negative beliefs but also it's a five step process it's a n o s e and i'll certainly break each one down for you so you could do the same exercise for yourself and see some growth and progress. It all begins with emotion. We go throughout our day and we are methodically often habitually hit with emotion that something on the outside enters our awareness and we are what we say is triggered right and we we get angry..
