A million bucks? No, not the players. One event? Yeah. No, no, the players wasn't. It's always 18% of first 20 million 6. They made 360, 360 grand. They would have made.

There is a box that are clear in a million a year. That's crazy. Like ten years ago, that was maybe there wasn't maybe tigers kit, maybe la cava was, but that's it. No one was doing it.

So we had the new guy, right? And you know nickname. I can't remember. What is it? You know, nicer Nick, think about it. The boss, the boss, the bos and the new guy. All right, and I'm in there, and there's a new guy. And there's this other guy. There's this other guy, other caddy. I'm a rookie on the tour. I don't know this guy. But I'm sitting right next to him, and he is obliterated. I'm like, okay, all right, well, this guy's drunk. And I don't know. I'm gonna ask his name. So like, what's up, man? I'm John.

And he goes, he goes, 'cause I get bombed every night. And I was like, I'm gonna fit in real well with the caddies. I love the case. Ever since then, I started learning about all of the caddy nicknames. They were just amazing. It sounds like that's not he wanted a cool nickname or a positive nickname. You know, something that positive happened in your career, but the caddies man, if they find a sore spot, they're on a stick it in there and twist that knife man. If you're slapping shady happen to you, boy, that's gonna be your nickname Baghdad. You know, you had wrong way and all those caddies had all kind of yeah. Skillet. I had skillet.

Reminiscing With Kip Henley About the Caddie Food Truck
"We're caddy people, man. We're FTP. We're caddy guys. We'd rather have caddies on than a majority of players. I mean, it goes without saying. I feel bad about it sooner. Are you guys would eating caddy dining a lot with us? I'm pretty sure that's true. Hey, remember Colleen, you would remember this too. This was right when you played the tour as well. Remember the truck, the caddy trailer that used to come to every tournament. And dude, that's all. That was the best food on property every week. And then what happened? The PGA Tour said, you just can't stop, you can't come anymore, right? Then the PGA Tour accident, yeah, and it really tore a lot of the older caddies up, you know? That was their, you know, they just loved it. And man, what a great breakfast it was. You go, I can't get a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, or whatever, and they put up with all our personalities. I mean, really, truly, if there would have been a camera sitting up in the corner of that trailer. On those years, can you imagine what that footage would be worth with all the players sneaking in there and eating with us? Good job, that would have been a dying great thing to have. I was dude. It was good. It's like a mobile home. It was like a mobile home with a kitchen, and then they had some chairs outside. They'd set up, and then one year, one year, I think it was my rookie year, but now my second year, it was just gone. And I guess the tour was like, yeah, we don't want fun anymore. Fund's not allowed out here and that was it. Yeah. They kicked the fun trailer away. They should have kept it. You know, even as this extra option for the players, the players loved it too, man.

CDC Panel Votes to Add COVID Shots to Immunization Schedule
"The CDC has officially begun the process of making the COVID vaccine on the childhood vaccination schedule. There is an entire committee called at kip, that met yesterday. They're going to meet again today and there's almost zero chance that they will not put this on the COVID vaccine. That is the advisory committee on immunization practices. It is a 15 person board. Now these 15 people, they apply to get on the board and the secretary of Health and Human Services picks you and selects you. And let's play tape of their vote yesterday, play cut one O three. Doctor cotton. Cotton, no conflicts, yes, to miss mcnally. Yes. Thank you. Doctor lehrer. Yes. Yes. Thank you, doctor Brooks. Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Lee, no conflicts, yes. This vote now passes with 15 yeses and zero nos. No conflicts, really. They're never going to be administering vaccines. And so this is 15 people on this advisory board that are voting to get your children closer to having to experience a mandate. Now it's not a mandate. They don't have that power, thankfully. But it's going to get on the official immunization schedule. We explained yesterday what that means. So who are these people? Exactly. We looked around and our team was not able to find a single media organization that named the names of every single person that approved to put the COVID vaccine on the official childhood schedule. That will assuredly result in more damage and destruction than benefit and blessing.

Revolver.News' Darren Beattie Describes the Pipe Bomb Hoax
"Federal power, derives from the legitimacy of the states. That's how it works. That's how it flows. That's how our counters laid it out.

But another person that they go after all the time, but someone who's also flipping the script on that and going after them. Is the great Darren Beatty. And at revolver dot news, he's got a new piece up today because this Darren is like a dog with a bone when it comes to this because he's still digging down on the January 6th pipe bomb. He actually calls it the pipe bomb hoax. And so we've got a graphic up now on this. Talking about how they used Google Earth to conduct a deeper investigation into everything that happened on this situation. Do we have Darren on? I'm here. Darren well wishes on yom kip, by the way. Thank you. Thank you. Tell us about this new, this new work that you've done this deep investigation. I don't think I've seen anyone investigate something this deeply. Well, you know, I appreciate that. And it's so important. This level of persistence, because when you catch the regime in an error, they could have gotten away with January 6th, but they made two major glaring errors, one of those errors is ray apps, the inherent virality of ray Epstein's behavior really was always going to be a problem for them. And the other problem is the pipe bomb. And both of these smoking guns are so damning to the official narrative that they're only hope is for us to just forget about it and move on. They're only play at this point is the limited attention span of the American public. And so it's incumbent on all of us to keep this front and center not to lose focus and to keep drilling down into these hoax narratives until we get to the very bottom of what actually went on. And

Waiting to Be Religious Is Waiting for Happiness to Come
"Waiting to be religious. To become active in a religion, is like waiting for happiness to come without acting happy. You feel what you act in the age of idiocy in which we live truly idiocy. Which, by the way, is a direct result of secularism. There is no wisdom in secularism. There's science, but there's no wisdom. Science has no wisdom. Science doesn't tell you a damn thing about how to live a life. Not one bloody thing. Science doesn't tell you to be kind or be cruel. So people tell me they believe in science. Oh, really? And what does it tell you to do? Namely one thing science tells you to do. In the moral sphere or any other. So on this eve of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar, and by the way, the Jewish belief is that Russia Shaun is new year's for everybody. It's called the Jewish new year, but it's not the new year for Jews. The Jewish belief it is the new year for all of humanity. How about this one this little bug you? Also believe that young kip, that David Tillman God judges everyone to a non Jew. Everyone, the Jewish belief is that God judges your behavior, not your beliefs. So if you're not a Jew, it's not relevant to your judgment. How did you act, how did you behave? It's called ethical monotheism. It is the fundamental belief core belief of my life. God wants us to be good and judges our behavior.

Thank you very much. Good to be here. Thank you so tell us what's going on. Tell us when you guys are planning to go across the country and how people can help. Well, it's pretty simple, really. Our convoy will start in the morning of the night of March 2nd to get to California trucks rolling out. We decided to run them through the night to get them out of the gridlock of California. So the day of March 2nd at 7 p.m., the trucks will leave California to converge through the night and to quartzsite Arizona, the morning of the third about three in the morning, they'll take a three hour break there for our break and then at 7 o'clock in the morning, they'll leave port side Arizona and head on to fort Stockton and complete that day. The next day, they'll leave fort Stockton like their way to soft Louisiana, on the fourth, the day of the 5th will get up and run from south Louisiana to the stretch in between Brunswick, Georgia and Savannah, Georgia, all the 5th.

"And what it does is lead kids to stop trying And i don't want parents to underestimate what their kids can do and work through and figure out by struggling and a lot of parents just refused to watch their kids struggle and then the demand that the school make it easier for them or the junior making it easier for them and i. That's what i mean by a victim and talent. So it's right. Parents that are teaching a learned helplessness. And make it easy for me junior. Do you have any comments anything. You're thinking about Well i you know. I think i think a big part of the whole like parents expecting the teachers and stuff to be part of that too is you know. There's a lot more I guess there's a lot more parents that are both have jobs or or a single parent you know so a lot of times. They're not at home. Like i know like for me. My mom was always on there was always at home. We would come home from school. You know my dad worked my mom my grandparents to when my mom was raised my grandfather worked. My grandmother did it and that jusque. That's kind of changed. I don't think that that the parents should dump all the responsibility on teachers and coaches to raise them. But i think that's where it started. Shifting is when there started being dual income households and then you know a lot. More single parents to yeah. Yeah the feminist movement wasn't all exactly good. Yeah well that's a whole gosh. That's a touchy subject to because you know and i've done both and so i understand both sides of it. I do think it's important to stay home with the kids when they're little. I really really do. I've read multiple books about it. The continuum concept is one of them and several through. It is important and i. I was reading a book last night. I'm not gonna say anything because she's coming up on the show. And i'm not quite sure how i feel about the book yet. I've got one more chapter to go. But oh my gosh. I just felt like This person put their career before their children. And i think if you make the decision to have children you have to at least in the early years you know before you get them into school. You know you have to be there for them. Those are the most fundamental years that in the teenage years. Which you and. I junior are going through right now. I think those most people would agree. Those are the two the years in between kinda you know they just kinda flow but the first five four to five years and then those those four to five years of you know after middle school. The teenage years are very fundamental putting all the tools in the toolbox. Kip like what you're talking about. You know to make them mentally very yeah. I agree. I think the teenage years are actually years where you need to spend more time. Your kids now laugh. I know because that actually leads to fewer behavior problems. i agree. no. I agree a hundred percent but it's so tough though because you want them to be independent you know but it's your final years to kind of like polish him up. Right and fixed whatever's wrong and make adjustments right. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah all right well. There's a lot more to talk about. We've got more coming up with kip watson. We're gonna take a quick break..

"Sometimes being strategic in our decisions you know set the course for The best decisions right. Yes and i think my my next three questions really relate to that those so you wanna think a year from now if i do this. What will my life be like right. Yeah yeah if. I purchased the trigger. If i if i pull the trigger and i've purchased his car what will i be. What will my life be like right. Yeah and did. I go through all the budget parameters with insurance and and tires and upkeep and the monthly payment and get objective as well as subjective and making that decision and then a year from now like am. I still going to be glad i did that. And then no other. Yeah no go ahead go ahead you only we have about a minute. Go ahead okay. Well the other two questions in terms of strategy our worst case scenario and i think it is important for people to look at worst case scenario of a decision you know you wanna be prepared in case something like that happens and then finally the last strategic question is what what i tell someone else to do in this exact situation Oh that's good. Yeah because often times we will give solid good advice. You know to the other people we care about right you think about that. What would i need to say to myself. Yeah well and i think of part of on being decisive is realizing that being being You know having indecision is decision itself. You know a lot of people would. They can't make a decision and that's a decision to and sometimes you just gotta you gotta jump on the horse and you gotta ride it. Oh my gosh i can. I can hear the music kip. Always a pleasure.

I couldn't date somebody that didn't like animals And yeah i mean. I was just kind of simple. I mean i was just happy that a girl like me to be honest is like i'm a standard recon gonna have too many red lights. Yeah well that's good that you've got such an open heart.

"I just don't see that happening. Yeah well you know in these kids. Want an explanation for everything. Like why do i have to do that. Why because i said so. That's why you know. I mean you know you don't want to be rude about. I mean my mom and dad said that right and there was a there. Is they respect for authority now. We can help if you explain the why that is like i do because yes i need to respect my parents because i said so right right and you know you talked about pursuing happiness. Everybody you know. What i we talk about this a lot you know. This is one of my favorite subjects. That i cannot stand entitlement and i think about it a lot entitlement to me if you're super entitled. There's mental illness there. if you're super entitled. Something is very wrong with you right. I mean or just entitled period. Why does anyone out there that they are entitled for anyone else to take care of them unless you know it's a child that's different or you're mentally ill. that's different. I have a brother who's mentally ill. He's in a home but we're talking about people yet is different. It's different if you're born with a disability. That's very different. That's not we're talking about here. We're talking about a society. That's become so lazy that we have we're so dependent on the government that we think it's the government's job to take care of us and it's not we need to take care of ourselves and that's what creates soft people and soft kids. It's something that's permeating. I believe our society and it's it's as bad as greed and we're you find greed you'll find entitlement to. It's an entitlement to think that that somebody owes you something right instead of being disciplined and and getting tough. Well i agree with you. We have bread to lot of beliefs that the government will take care of it and that has created. Well tremendous week mob Yes in our society And we've certainly seen that over the last you know eighteen months or so where people will stay on the government handout versus work. Yeah and you know a created a problem for many business owners. Yep yep well. I i my my daughter. My sister is passed away. And god bless her soul but i have a sister older sister who got pregnant at fifteen. We lived in the state of new york. Okay so she she got on an entitlement program and then next thing you know she had another baby with another man then she had another baby with another man and she was had so much potential. She was super smart. She was she was she just became entitled like it sets such a bad example for her at such an early age. And it basically. We're in her life you know. It ruined her life. So i can speak about it firsthand from my own family and i'm so against entitlement programs because i think it weakens and destroys people i i know that it does and so i know we're we're talking about mentally soft people but i i do feel like entitlement has a lot to do with it and i think it does and i think like even even with a lot of the high school kids i work with in my area in terms of even how that has impacted the education system. We have a local school district. That doesn't do finals. And what. I hear a lot like that. That's not preparing them for college. If you're not gonna do finals. I hear also a lot of oh. It doesn't matter if i study. Because i can retake it so i'm gonna go take the test. See what see. What's on it. But then i can retake it make decent grades now to me. That's that's a problem. Then i hear a lot like kids. Just don't wanna do homework right so now. We're allowing kids to do homework in class. So they don't have to do when they get home. That's why it's called home. Were the work at hall. You don't need to be afraid of homework. Part of the education process. Do they give crazy amounts of homework though in different schools. I don't know i i. I haven't found that to be true. I guess appear within the public school district. Well i don't know what they're doing in school. I mean when i went to catholic school most of my life fourth grade. I went to public school for one year. But but you know it was crazy the education. I got an incredible education. I speak latin. By the time. I was in sixth grade More and more parents more and more parents are turning to private education versus public education. Because they're not preparing them for reality Yeah and you know There was something i was gonna say. I lost my train of thought. But so kip you know. What is your number one tip for generating greater mental strength swell. If i just had to pick one thing it would be In terms of reaching kids when they're young show up as a parent the in country don't be permissive don't be uninvolved Use your all Your authoritative role with respect your respect each children but there is an authoritative role. Your firm you have. High expectations expect them to work hard. You allow them to do hard things. And don't rescue them. Do not rescue them from a hard thing or they forget something or if they don't turn in an assignment on time allow them the natural consequences of that so they learn from it. Yeah and yeah. I mean like you and i both you know whether it's its Arts and music or Sports they need to be involved in a variety of things to get a variety of experiences with a variety of people Yeah no i would agree junior. You have any tips for generating a greater mental strengthen. Your kids i mean i. I'm just always just honest with them. I don't ever sugarcoat anything. And i tell them how it is and but you know. They always make sure that they know i love him. And i'm never coming down on them from a bad way. But right i i'm not the type of person that's going to say. Oh you gotta see. That's so good. it is passing. no no. you're gonna study until you get that up to a b. and then that he's going to get up to a and that that's how it is for me because that's how i was raised and i just feel like that's what helped me as an adult and it's you know i'm not scared to fail and i'm not scared to do some work if i need to. And right now it's just it's just putting those those little seeds in your head when you're young. Oh yeah and. I can't stand lazy. I don't think you should ever let your kids be lazy. And that starts with keeping their room clean. I'm not about that that like make your bed. Make sure your toilet and your sinks clean you know. I just think it's so important to teach kids that and and that's something that they don't they don't teach that kind of accountability. I don't think in public school. I know in private school. A lot of them they do but public school. They're failing our children. They really are failing. Our children on so many different levels. They don't your apparent out there to what you said bernadette if you have a maid or housekeeper fire them and you have do it. Oh yeah fire them. Have your kids do it you know. Yep yep people. Ask me if i have a dishwasher and i always say i have two i have. Two dishwashers kids. I i have a dishwasher. But i don't even use it. I haven't used it in ten years. I don't like it. I like doing the dishes. That's when i meditate. I do a better job at it than the dishwasher. And i love doing the dishes and mowing the lawn. Oh my gosh. Oh gosh oh well all right.

"Style Where parents just basically yes allow. Kids raise themselves or what happens. Is the peer culture. The culture at large tends to raise them. And that's not really what you want an having a father at home you know and that's another that's another common it is and you know and and and another listener commented that men have been emasculated for years on television. Would you agree with that. They like damascus or emasculated. Where they you know emasculated on on television where they make men look stupid. I've heard multiple men say that over the years. Well and i think. That's i i get to me. That's one part of the feminist movement. Which i think is a poor appointment to the men in our society. Absolute not all men are are bad and and being authoritative and being respectful There are plenty of men that deserve our respect and women actually would not be where they are without men who helped them get their appropriately. so i'd vice versa. Yes that's true. Yeah yeah now show me show me a successful man and i'll show you a successful hardworking woman behind that man and vice versa right and junior pulling you in junior that's a very big that's actually very biblical old testament new testament Egalitarian view of the role of men and women. When done respectfully Like it's it's. I mean in our vernacular win win situation. Yeah no i would agree and a junior. You went dead silent on me. what do you think. And how he must be doing something. Turn my mic down for a second. Because i had a call from got turned back up. I hate when that happens. So what are you. What are you thinking about all this that we said about men being emasculated and television i. I think i've actually talked about this before i think. Tv just in general Doesn't paint the proper picture. What a family should be paints. The picture of what is trending. That's going on with families. If that makes sense. I feel like if you know like if it was i. Don't know i it. They play into too much of what what what society's going into i think and then the pig painted different. But it's also. I think i think it's a lot different now than than it was in the eighties. Like you can't really. It's hard to pick the show. Where mom and dad are because a lot of times are there aren't mom and dad at home. You know. I think. I think it more so than than it. Is you know the the one parent is missing. So tv just has to keep up with the time i get that but i think the biggest as you really social media i feel like social media. Just i mean i. It's just. I feel like it's just destroying the society. What what was once meant to be a way to keep up with friends that lived across the country has turned into just a just assess pool of political views and hatred and Just i mean there's anything it's just not a safe place anymore. I don't think it doesn't matter if it's facebook instagram twitter. It's all it's on all of it. You know i just feel like that's the biggest issue is people. People think that social media is what's really going on in the world. It's not the younger people because they don't know a world without it with my kids and that's where they get their news from and i'm like you guys got to do some research like you can't just take everything you see on social media as one hundred percent right. Well they're being brainwashed. Oh and it's over sexualize to and so as television. The last time. I had my television on which was about a year ago because it will start to come on again football season. We'll be here. Well precedes here but official kickoff is pretty soon. I know you're keeping junior. Both and i are like huge. Football fans can't wait for football season but the last time i had my television on and it was after a game in some of the populist shows came on i couldn't believe what i saw on my screen it was basically two people having sex and it's probably the attention is in what i mean. I couldn't believe it. If i had little ones in the house i would just i don't i. It was just unbelievable. The stuff that they put on television and media should be more responsible than that. That is not okay. It sends a message that that kind of behavior is should be out there in the open. You know and it's it's it's it disgusts me. It really does. And it's all about ratings. It's all about money you know at the end of the day right. Yeah so itself. I mean that's the issue is sex sells and people take advantage of it and then the thing is you've got the problem is you always got to step it up because what what was risque in. The eighties is absolutely nothing nowadays. So and it's just it's just gonna keep getting worse and worse because the people making the money gonna keep playing into it. I wouldn't be surprised. You know i'm not kidding. Like in a few years events on social media there was just full nude like everybody. Just do whatever you want on twitter. There's no regulation on twitter yelling that they can pretty much post wherever they want instability. Yeah instagram takes. Its sexually explicit stuff down but twitter doesn't wow we're headed for hell we're headed for all right. I'm looking at the clock. We're going to break again this hour. We're blowing through it.

I think in terms of parenting need parents that are present that are authoritative that allow their kids to fail to screw up to do hard things.

She holds two master's degrees and has twenty years of experience. Working with athletes coaches families in corporate teams. Kip is also a certified high performance coach former professional athlete and mom of two. You can find her on instagram or witter at kipp fit our topic today is are we raising a generation of mentally soft people. My phone is continuing to blow up with people that are talking about like the happiness thing and there actually is. There's been i along. Javadi studies since nineteen. Ninety one. they've they've they've studied more than a million teams since then and when they found that that when teens a limit i mean and this is seemed logical. But it's not always what people do. They and social media day limit. Time spent with friends in person when they limit that type of thing. They're not as happy when they engage with friends in person when they exercise when they get involved with sports attend religious services when they read even they discovered that one day do homework instead of time spent on social media. Playing computer games texting watching. Tv they're happier. Yeah they are. You were happier. Oh my gosh. you're making me. Think of a a speech. I was at a symposium. I was with sandra bond chapman She is the oh my. Gosh she's a she's a phd. And she is the director and founder of the me out. Here kip. I probably shouldn't brought it up. I can't remember right now. The center for brain. I know center for brain health. She's been on the show several times y- the santiago brain house. She's an amazing woman. I remember a speech that i was at That she was talking about the importance of team sports. They've done studies scientific studies on it at the center of brain health and how much healthier. Those children were simply by participating in team sports because it it gives them it gives them a sense of united nece working as a team getting along teaches them how to get along with other people how to deal with loss and you know and victory and all these things right as a group working together and and i really believe that. That's a lot of this to which what you're touching on. Are we raising a generation of mentally soft people. We have to come together you know. Individuality is great but But but you also have to learn to get along with well to in order to be mentally tough. I think would you for sure i mean. That's what i love about working in sports psychology. I get teak. Teach these life skills using sports to do it. Yeah and and it was a rule in my household. Pick us for it. I don't care what sport but you gotta be active. Yeah yeah no. I think sports are some. I guess some kids. What do you think about like band and stuff like that band and you know a music and things like that does not. Yeah i mean as long as you're participating in a group event right with a common goal is where the the the lessons come from right. Absolutely right yeah. Okay so so. Let me ask you this. What kind of parenting do you think is best for kids these days. Well i think one that is based on both love and logic and if you want a specific term i i tend to equate it to authoritative style of parenting where parents are parents. They're not your friend but they're not shy about praising kids you know so there is a warmth but there's also a firmness there's a discipline and there are high expectations And and kids are rewarded so to speak when they meet them but then there are normal consequences when there's misbehavior. There's discipline are learning. That takes place and so it's a style that tends to reinforce the good things which lead to more of a positive respectful parent child relationship and a lot of hustle. I've seen over the past twenty twenty five years as a real disrespect for authority. Yeah no i would agree and then you know we were talking about the feminism earlier and one listener Oh my gosh. I've got so much stuff here that Several different people texting but You know they wrote this. You know I'll just read it however this slot and do whatever you want is killing. Women did for us in the early nineteen hundreds Speaking of you know a lot of these young girls think you know Envoys too. But i think i don't dunno young girls. We were talking about feminism In particular. I think that they have taken it too. Far taking it way too far. Would you agree with that. Yeah yeah i. I think sort of while i mean people may see this as hatred or bigotry. But i think when you hold the high moral value system unfortunately what. Today's society tends to think. Is that hatred or bigotry When those are really two different things having a high moral value system is is a good thing. I it's not that i hate you but but a loose lifestyle comes with certain consequences. Yeah no i mean you know you see. I see it especially pay attention. Probably because i'm a female more to other females. And i had two daughters but when i see the way some girls dress when they go out in public i just want to say what in the heck are those parents thinking to let that child. Walk out the door like that. Well i think it. It tends to represent an uninvolved. Parenting.

"Unfolded in this country. Well you know. I i can. I can see why you. How do i say this. I don't wanna say the wrong thing. You know but i believe that. The feminist movement was important for a lot of reasons. You know women were badly for. You could be putting a mental institution. Your husband decided to have an affair. The crazy stuff that used to go on how men would just roll over. Women financially emotionally. Spiritually has been wrong and women didn't need to stand up to it but i do believe that the importance of a mother doing a good father doing a good job together to raise children together. Equally is what we're talking about the feminist movement. Maybe some some of it was a little extreme. But you know sometimes you have to get extreme to get people to listen and wake up and you know you can. You can have a career and still be a mother maybe not in the first couple years. It's more difficult but you have to have a good understanding with your partner in order before you have children people sleep together too soon. They produce children too soon and next thing. You know you've got this terrible relationship where you're trying to have children right and raise good children who well right and then you. That's in essence right. If we're not intentionally teaching or parenting mentoring our children. Then there's going to be a problem. Well yeah because it's a trickle down from the top. It's no different than a company. You know how you run a company. Why your home. How knew how you run your government you know. Well i mean this. Is you know whether it's the feminist movement or being a parent. The hierarchy isn't the problem. It's the person in the role right. It's not the system that's the problem. We have good and bad kings. We have good bad president. We have good and bad parents. We have good and bad feminists right and and so it's not the system of hierarchy that is oppressive. it's the person that's in the role And we have to engage and take our roles seriously. And and i think what i'm you know referring to right here really is about being a role model and being intentional right away in which we mentor and teach our children. Well you know. I agree but i do think that women should be involved in any decision Whether it be as a family. And i'm gonna pull you in junior. What are you thinking as a man about feminism would. How do you feel. About feminism feminism. Sorry feminism feminism. How do you feel about junior. I mean i. I think everybody's equal i mean it's you know i issue of equality i yeah. I don't know. I mean it's just That's i don't know. I feel like everybody has equal rights to everything. I don't think i've ever should be a you know anybody should be treated differently. I've always been like that the way i work and how i treat co-workers and stuff i mean i don't know i think i think it's it's it's fine for i think women now. I think they feel stronger now than they ever have. And i think that's great Yeah i do. Think that. I that i Perhaps should just clarify in terms of the feminist movement possibly being influential on mentally soft generation. Is that We need to continue to support. What whether it's the father or the mother somebody being intentional at home raising children and that's okay role to have vital role to have. Okay well let me ask you this. What do you when you say mentally soft. Can you define mental toughness. What do you define mental toughness right. Let's just clarify what. The terms mean so in terms of mental toughness. I've always defined as the ability to regulate your emotions. Manage your thoughts and behave appropriately. No matter what your circumstances are so. So then what does softness. Meanwhile it's an in ability to regulate your emotions and the in ability to manage your thought and then you behave poorly certain circumstances and you behave poorly and you don't wanna hear about it afterwards so you never change the happen. I don't wanna hear about it. I don't wanna change. I have a right to be mad. I have read. And i'm like no actually no you don't so so i know you wanna talk about pursuing happiness so how does pursuing happiness create mental softness. Let me just i. I love this question. 'cause i i really think there are too strong beliefs that i have seen over these last twenty five years tend to get people into trouble and one of them when somebody comes in and they're like and they've written it down and they verbalize it. My goal in life is just to be happy. I'm like we're going to have a problem. Very there is the example of a mentally soft perch. If your goal in life is to just be happy. Or i hear parents say that. I just want my kids to be happy. Well first of all. That's not a an achievable goal. People can't be happy. Twenty four seven and it's very normal given life circumstances especially when we think about what transpired around the world and in this country and the last year and a half you're not going to always have butterflies and rainbows in stomach or in your mind. There are aspects to life where anxiety is normal. Fear is normal. Anger is normal. But you gotta be able to manage that and you got to be able to. You know manage your thoughts that are generating those types of feeling now other belief that has to be a struggle is. I want to be fair. That one gets people in trouble as well. Yeah yeah it does. Absolutely well. And i feel that this carries over even into getting sick like no one wants to kids to get sick anymore. Oh my gosh. Let's vaccinate away every single virus out there if we can. I don't want my kid to get sick but through getting sick your immune system gets stronger through going through adversity. Your mind gets stronger right. And there's an association to it. They're definitely is like. Oh my god the measles. Oh you know. The measles used to be a nothing and back and back when the brady bunch was on the air. The measles was like a joke. Okay the mighty ducks movies. They were joking about the measles. Measles was not a big deal until we made it into a big deal. Started yet right. That'll doesn't come when things are easy. It comes on to get through adversity. Yeah yeah and you we. Nobody even wants to catch a cold anymore. We've got our society is so fearful over this covert thing that we've completely lost are freaking minds. You get a cold going. Oh my god it's cove and you know. I'm going to die the world the you know the the is gonna fall. What's happened to us like seriously. We are so mentally soft. Well i think you just yeah junior. Help me out here. I mean. I think what you're saying. I agree with what you're saying that anything. That's it all right. Well i'm looking at the clock. I need to take a breath and you got me started. Kip hey everyone good. Hey that's right it is it is. We need to talk about this. That's what talk radio is all about. We'll be back more coming up with kip watson. you're listening to one life radio.

"And what do you think are the biggest culprits. Well i think there are several. I guess what you would say are influenced points i. I don't know that we can point to one thing to say. Oh that's the real. Yeah well there. Several for sure You know. I mentioned styles of parenting. I think that's been an influential factor. This shift in our culture over the last twenty twenty five years has been a shift. I would say a way of objective fact and more towards subjectivity of things in other words to some degree. We care more about people's feelings than we care about doing the right thing Giving give me give me an example of that. I love it. I love talking about it and with with a good example well A good example on trying to wrack my brain on a good example. I think one thing that i've seen happen is bike. Bore instant and and as a sexual assault survivor I'll i'll just it's something. I'm in tune with right So we over in a lot of universities. They whether we're when we study great pieces of literature if there is any kind of hint to sexual assault in it or maybe there is a sexual assault within The piece of literature it now. There are often times where the professor has to give a like a warning. This might trigger you this. My you know you might feel anxiety because of it And i i'm like wow we're we are. We are now having to take care of things in case something happens right because it happened. I have spoken at a local high school talking about anxiety and then Was informed like we can't even talk about it because it might trigger my god. don't treat. wow that's why we need to talk about it. Right now is then. We need to help them. Comet not avoided right i. that's what started to happen is. We're avoiding megan. Feeling right when there are a normal part of life instead of addressing. I couldn't agree. More during your. What are you thinking. What's going through your head right now. Well yeah no. I mean i agree with that. I mean it's just like i remember being a kid. I remember the first year in school when they started giving away like participation trophies and i just and they gave me mine and it said like seventh place and i was like why am i even getting this and i remember i tried to put it on my like with the rest of my stuff and my mom was like what. Why would you display that. You know. I just threw it out. Like i didn't want that you know and i don't know i feel like now like everybody gets her certificate or something and i just feel like their motivations gone you know. I remember the competitions. What motivated me to want to win and the same thing happening baseball when my brother made it to the next level in little league and i didn't i had a whole year to prepare to try to make it the next year. You know. they didn't just take me because it was like. Oh everybody's gotta make it. And i feel like that's what a lot of people are missing. You gotta you gotta fail. You can't be afraid to lose that camp that's right yeah get knocked down good it is. It makes my phone already blowing up in my email. So you've stirred the pot. Kip they're calling bs on you about the cat thing or the bringing animals. The compassionate animals to work is no objective. A why why you know. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying. Why do we have more of a. I mean that signals right. That's reflective yup of something that we need to address. Absolutely i agree. I mean there's no one on the planet that i know of that loves animals more than me other than maybe ingrid newkirk and i would never bring my cat my dog to class with me. Well i don't know maybe love because he's so much fun and i love fun but speaking of find this is going to continue to be fun. Everyone stay tuned. We're going for our quick break.

Everyone welcome back to one life. Radio this is bernadette with junior in the mix and kip watson. we are broadcasting live from dallas texas on iheart media as well as kfi in southern california on abc news. Talk our topic with kip watson. Today is are. We raising a generation of mentally soft people. Wow my phone has been up and my email so you really started pot here but i really think this is important that we address it you know and when when we were talking about what are the root causes of this of this this problem with kids just being so emotionally soft you know I think that one of the number one problems is children. Needs stability okay. Children needs to -bility. They need to feel safe. And i feel like the divorce rate in this country I don't know about worldwide but here in the us you know soared from two thousand to two thousand thirteen. There were more divorces in the united states. I think than any other time in the in the history of the country. And i just think that that has had a huge effect. I'm on children's overall wellbeing and mental health. Because i know you know the one thing my mother and father they stuck stuck together a stood stood together strong no matter what through and thin and i really do think that that foundation that stability that my parents gave me gave me incredible strength. And that's just from me speaking personally. I have been through some stuff. You know some very serious. And i've always stood tall afterwards. I get knocked down. It might be down for a couple of days. But i bounced right back up. So i think you're right when there's instability in the home then that creates instability in the child. Yeah a child wants to see a stable marriage. Parents that they can trust they innately trust them but as they get older and more self aware they may realize that they can or they can't And when there is divorce or multiple divorce that creates instability and then you usually have this situation where both parents are out of the home working. And there's no one actually parenting. And that i think has created a problem as well and i mean shall i say it. The feminist movement wasn't always great. I think it's it's done some considerable damage in the way It's.

Yeah now cats just have there for you know the are we are we just. Don't you know summer. Some of us are hairier than others. But oh my gosh but yeah. That's that's really cool. I bet she's so excited. Hopefully it works out. She's i didn't say no. Well we've got a we've got a. We've got a fantastic show today. It's just kept watson the whole show. Let me introduce her. I know she's there kip. How you doing today. Excellent excellent all right well. Let me introduce you kip watson. Okay she is a licensed professional counselor and supervisor and sports psychology professional. She holds two master's degrees and has twenty years of experience. Working with athletes coaches families in corporate teams. Kip is also a certified high performance coach former professional athlete and mom of two. You can find her on instagram or twitter at kipp fit high. You doing kip really. Well really good super excited about this show. Because i think it's just really needed. I guess you could say maybe a little controversial but definitely needed well. We like controversy. And i love. I love the topic. The topic today. That she's talking about is are. We raising a generation of mentally soft people. Okay that's a big mac. Do we want to talk about something else. Well you know it is a loaded question it really really is i don jr. i'll ask you what do you think about that. Are we raising a generation mentally. you know. Think about it for sec. I no i'm joking i'm joking. Now is being facetious. But yeah yes i absolutely agree and i am glad we're talking about it and i just think i don't i. Don't there's so much to talk about when it comes to this subject. You have two kids junior. I have two children. Children and kip has two children years or in college. Minor somewhere in between and yours are still at home junior. So we have some valid opinions about this and and there's a lot to talk about so You know after twenty. Five years kip in therapy and in sports psychology World these sports psychology world. You believe that we are raising mentally soft people. How come let's just get right to it. Just how come well. So let's just go to the objective fax and the objective facts say that statistics for most mental illnesses or what people think are mental. Illnesses are not getting better. They're getting worse. Statistics haven't changed all that much and the fact that they're getting worse it's like well. How come if we have more knowledge. More therapy more resources available. Why are these things getting worse. More people on medication. I would say we've got more you know. I know you love animals but we got more emotional support animals than we ever had before we have safe spaces on college campuses where we didn't have that twenty thirty years ago I think that we have more You know we've covered this before on the show and i know you've done other shows with it in terms of like eating disorders and obesity Those statistics are worse. We have parents now. That are more involved with things that they weren't involved with years ago in terms of interacting with teachers interacting with coaches being on their child like job interview or interacting with their bosses. We have parents who believe that you know a seven year old. A twelve year old a three year old can now decide their gender rather than basing it on science or basing it on you know Human development and waiting till child is full grown to make done decision so yeah. I think this country is in serious trouble. Yeah.

And we've got sam morris with us today to we are broadcasting live from dallas texas on iheartmedia km et and southern california on abc news. Talk sam how you doing today very well. How are you i'm good. I'm good good to hear your voice. Let me introduce you for those. That have never Hurt you and they're in for a real treat. So sam morris is the chief culture off. I mean it okay. So sam. Morris is the chief culture officer for five to flow consulting and the founder of the unbreakable human collective and interactive web based personal development program program for men wanting to slay their mental dragons of depression anxiety and addiction. He is also a certified personal development coach and a recovery consultant and health coach. You can follow sam on instagram. That rhymes at sam gives morris. That's sam gibbs morris or find him at lincoln at sam morris always a pleasure. Today we're talking about the power of surrendering so many people. Do not know about this sam. I'm so glad that we're talking about it. And you know for many surrender means defeat. And but but how can surrendering be so amazing and powerful. who surrendering really is Surrendering i mean. I think it's tied to like wartime right with surrender. Wave the white flag. And so but really. When it comes to like life surrendering all surrendering does is it allows it opens you up for new ideas new connections new forms of love intimacy all the things that we all really crave to be honest with you but we've site because of old programming or old stories or old ideas that we have about a certain thing you know we've been told like oh you know don't think about that and so what we do is fight that idea when in reality like surrendering to that thought is threatening to this experience. Where where we get lessons in. What's what is trying to teach us. And that's when we grow and open ourselves up for that i talked about what is surrendering trying to teach us. Why is surrendering so important. And and how do you surrender in. Let go well. I think i. I'm not sure this surrendering is actually the teaching part but when we do when we learned to surrender to basically stop fighting stop trying to control everything and we spend like figuratively speaking. We spend all of our life both hands on the wheel white. Knuckling driving around kind of trying to control a lot of things when we surrender to what may come and open ourselves up. That's when the learning happens. That's when you can surrender you if you're super annoyed at somebody for example super aggravated at your partner your or your child and you know you spend all that time fighting trying to control that emotion and trying to control that experience when in reality if you surrender to it if you like okay. This is happening right now. my wife and i are fighting and what i'm surrendering this. I'm not trying to be right or i'm not trying to make her wrong. I'm not trying to protect myself. When i'm doing i'm surrendering to whatever. This experience is trying to teach me so that going forward. We don't have the same argument against. Yeah and so many beautiful things happen when you surrender. And so what are what are some real life situations when someone should surrender sam so real life situations You know it can really be anything it really one of the best ways to do it takes a little bit of practice and get a waste of practice it later but You know when. You're feeling that moment of aggravation that frustration in traffic. And or if you're if you're feeling resistance to doing something like everyone loves to call in my opinion. Procrastination is not really saying a word that we made up to feel better about not doing something what we're really doing is resisting doing out of a fear of failure or a fear of Not getting done. There's there's some sort of baseline fear stopping us from actually getting started on that project. So when you surrender in life and you can look at safety. I surrender to. Why am i resisting. This like show me why. What about what about this project is triggering me into fear and why my resisting real-life situations where you're either getting your feeling secure. You're feeling scared Were you feel even really when you feel happy. Like all these. But you're struggling to is more data so you're starting to the if you only only operate and what you know the things that are right in front of your face you ended up in a cycle of just doing the things you know which there's a lot of value in but at the same time there's not a lot of growth in so when you're when you're confronted with a situation anger fear insecurity if you surrender to what that actual event is trying to teach you. That's when you can break through that and you don't have to deal with that insecurity or that. Fear that anger anymore. Yeah but it's so difficult for people to do this right because of the anxiety the fear letting go afraid of what may happen when really you really have no control over anything other than yourself and how you think and feel right. I mean we can set things in motion have a plan and having a plan instead and having steps to accomplish something. That's great but you have to be opened along the way to things not going as according to plan because they will never go according to plan surrendering one of the one of the major things that is really helpful to surrender is the how so. Let's let's use like making a million dollars for example and just really example. You know someone says okay. I wanna be i wanna make a million dollars in the next five years and they think okay. I'm going to get a job. I'm gonna work up the corporate ladder. I'm gonna get promoted. And as i get promoted i'll make more money and eventually in five years there'll be a millionaire in reality like you. They could've if they're so detached to that. How how that looks to them they could. They could overlook opportunities to maybe get to the million dollars in a year or two or you know win the lottery. Like you don't know how that's going to happen. You can set yourself up and put yourself position but when you surrender to the actual how it's going to happen and and again messing example but you can do that with falling in love. You can do that with a great job. You can do that with moving across the country. You know when you surrender to like exactly how it's going to look 'cause that's the variable comes in is you don't know how it's gonna look like you may know you want to move to california to the beach or not maybe not california these days but it's florida or something but You just have to really open yourself up to the process and how and how to get there. Because you don't know the best way. No i i am one of these people that believes that the universe has my back and and things happen for a reason. And that's part of the surrendering mentality to isn't it one hundred percent when you have that faith and belief that no matter what happened. Just gonna work out the best. It's gonna work out for me. Then that release all the pressure of you trying to draw china having the white knuckles on the wheel. You can surrender to just know that like how this works out. It's gonna work out for my best interest yet. Makes me think viktor frankl and the book Search for meaning. You know. we've talked about this before. Look at how. He had to surrender and junior. You shared a story with us about you. Know you basically had to surrender this past year because what happened to you. You lost your job all these things. You had no control over it. So you surrender. To and i bet once you did. You had like an awakening if you will like everything's gonna be okay sort of i mean once you start to figure out that okay. I can't control these things. And i'm going to have to pick myself up in you know figure things out on my own y- yes things start to become clear and it was started. It was easier once. I let it go like i. I really thought radio was done for me. So i kind of let it go honestly until until i started working with you. I was like okay. Radio's done. I got to let this go and i started applying for jobs and in another field and you know but yes it felt so much better once. I did do that and then luckily like a week after i did that. You call me so all good. Doesn't that crazy and so.

Trump uses Georgia rally to pressure GOP on Electoral College challenge
"Given 80 minutes speeches I reported last night in Georgia. I thought it was pretty effective in rallying Republicans. Do you disagree? I think Donald Trump has reached what we call market saturation. And that means you have so many individuals who have made up their mind not only about President Trump But also about everyone else. The last poll credible poll that came out about undecided voters had Georgia undecided voters who are likely to vote in the runoff at 3%. You have a very small margin here to actually influence but When an election is closed. 3% is the difference between night and day. I don't think he moved the needle. I think people were going to vote for Senator Leffler as well. A senator for do are still going to vote for them. I'm not sure he's actually increasing the vote Total and the phone call to a light Republican. Rapids. Berger and his dissension with a light Republican governor Brian Kip has not helped the Georgia Republican voter make their minds up any quicker. But that's that's for
The Digital Story
Using Your Smartphone with Your Digital Camera, Not Instead of It
"Today's theme is using your smartphone with your digital camera. Not instead of it. I'm derek story. There's been so much talk about how smartphones will replace our digital cameras. But i think for nimble photographers. That's the wrong approach instead. Let's explore how we can use smartphones with our digital cameras instead of replacing them. I'll share one scenario today with a fujifilm x one hundred v in iphone. Twelve pro max. Although there are many combinations that will work great for both ios and android and of course on the digital camera side as well. I hope you enjoy the show. They're certainly situations. When i want my digital camera with all its tools inconveniences and then other situations when my smartphone will work. Just fine but to tell you the truth. The best scenario is having both with me. And that's what. I want to explore today now on the digital camera side when i discovered is that if i go with smaller more compact cameras which shouldn't be a shock to you right the fujifilm x one hundred v the olympus pen f the fujifilm x f. Ten with the twenty eight millimeter f. Two point eight lands those kinds of cameras that i absolutely love shooting with. But i don't want to carry all the accessories and everything you know. That's the funny thing about digital photography you can start out with a relatively compact camera and then maybe a compact lens and then you start packing your bags and go. I really should bring this. And i really should bring that. I need a longer lens. I need a wider lens. I probably should have a flash all that kind of stuff. Maybe i should bring my ipad. Maybe i should bring you know my Laptop maybe i should bring all the stuff in the next thing you know even though you started out with a relatively compact camera ended up with a relatively large camera kip. And if you're just going out the door for a walk you're going to. Maybe you know go visit a local park. If you're going to do something like that. Do you really need to bring all that stuff with you. Well i mean at the end of the day. That's a question that only you can answer. However i'm going to pose an approach that maybe you want to think about. That is a very nice alternative to starting out with a small camera and ending up with a big kit now the idea. I'm going to present to you. Today is taking one of your favourite microphone. Thirds are a pse cameras that you truly like. It could be a relatively compact a photo frame mirrorless as well if especially if it had A lens on it. That was reasonable in size and then augmenting it with a smartphone and especially one of the more current smartphones made by all the heavy hitters but especially smartphones at least two cameras you know two lenses and ideally three cameras or three lenses now the idea being that that smartphone can fill in the gaps that normally would be stuffing stuff into your camera bag to fulfill. And then you get to pick a camera that you truly like with lens that you absolutely love but are not worried about being limited by just having that one camera in that one lens with you you know you have like your favorite thing to shoot with just go. I love shooting with his camera. I love this lind's and then you have your sophisticated smartphone in your other pocket. That will allow you to leave everything else behind. Just your favourite camera just your smartphone and see how far you can go well. The fact of the matter is through my testing. You can go pretty far so what i'm gonna do right now is i. I'm going to start out. With listing some of the benefits of digital cameras. These are the things that i like about a digital camera. This is why. I will not give up a digital camera right and then i'm going to list some of the advantages of smartphones because they have many advantages as well and then i'm going to do is for the third list. I'm going to combine the two and say this is the dan of using both of these devices already so that is going to be the flow of this show. So let's start out with the list of benefits for digital cameras and for me. There are many the first thing that i like is that they typically have great viewfinders. That are so nice in so many different situations. In of course bright sunlight being at the top of the list so if i can look through a very nice electronic viewfinder a very nice optical viewfinder in compose a shot in really contrast bright conditions. I like that better than having to compose the lcd

Do We Live in a Simulation? Chances Are about 50–50 ...
"A new study from astronomer David KIP ING published this summer, and the Journal Universe argues that the odds we live in a simulation are just about fifty fifty. As you can imagine this has caused a bit of a stir scientific American broke down kipling's arguments as well as some responses to it, and some of the previous where he was building off of an a lot of it frankly goes a bit over my head, but I wanted to share some highlights at first for the less matrix inclined listeners. What exactly do I mean by the idea of living in a simulation basically that all of us are mere virtual beings existing if you WANNA call it that unknowingly in a massive computer simulation? Over the years many scientists have tried to uncover ways. We could prove whether this is true or not. But some of the work has also revolved around calculating the odds of US living in a simulation or whether we are simply in base reality that is to say that we actually exist and this isn't all simulated. Is. Worth noting there's a lot of debate over what the simulation actually means and how one even defines consciousness for that matter. I kinda like this interpretation from Neil degrasse Tyson that he shared on a recent episode of Star Talk Quoting Scientific American, the simulation would most likely create perceptions of reality on demand rather than simulate all of reality all the time much video game optimized. To, render only the parts of the scene visible to a player maybe that's why we can't travel faster than the speed of light because if we could, we'd be able to get to another galaxy said Chuck Nice the show's Co host before prompting Tyson to gleefully interrupt before they can program it. The astrophysicists said delighting at the thought. So the programmer put in that limit end quote. Someone Pretty. Wild to think about and apart from the Matrix movies bringing this concept to the mainstream most scientists refer back to a two thousand three paper by Nick. Bostrom in Oxford philosopher which quote the Magic, a technologically adept virtualization that possesses immense commuting power and needs a fraction of that power to simulate new realities with conscious beans in them. Given this scenario, his simulation argument showed that at least one proposition in the following trauma must be true. I humans almost always go. Before reaching the simulation savvy stage second, even if humans make it to that stage, they are unlikely to be interested in simulating their own in central, passed and third. The probability that we are living in a simulation is close to one and quotes. But more recently keeping whose paper I mentioned was published earlier. This summer collapsed those first two propositions into one because in both cases, there are no simulations and he used busy and reasoning to calculate the probability busy and reasoning quote allows one to calculate the odds of something happening called the posterior probability but I making assumptions about the thing being analyzed, assigning a prior probability and quotes. Using the reasoning with regards to the simulation kipling's calculation comes out to about fifty fifty. It leans slightly in favor of based reality in part because he says that even in a world where we can simulate reality as more and more of them are spawned the computing resources of each generation dwindles and eventually simulations aren't able to be hosted bought. The odds could change if we do actually invent the technology to simulate conscious beans at which point, it becomes almost certain that we are living in a simulation. And could we ever figure out if we're not real whom on Awadhi and expert on computational? Mathematics. At the California Institute of Technology says only if there's a finite amount of computational power because if it's infinite, it could create whatever degree of reality necessary to continue tricking. US. Essentially, there's a lot of complex hypothesizing going on in several different fields and you can read a little bit more about. The link in the show notes. But at the end of the day keeping goes back to Adams Razor, which says that simplest explanation is usually correct and in this case, the simplest explanation is that we're at based reality there is no simulation just the boring hard truths of our real existence. So take that as your red pill.

Helicopter Rescue from California Fires
"Talk about the creek fire. How was it that you? I found out about that fire. You know it's kind of ironic because it was actually social media that attracted me to it I to live in that area and was aware of the creek fire. And it was actually scrolling through social media. and. Posts that said Hey role these hikers AMA- pools. Campers pools, and I immediately picked up the phone in a caller joint operation center, and they had just officially gotten that same word and we're in the process of activating a Chinook. Doctrine to assist with families that were stranded at pools. I immediately called KIPP guiding who is one of the other pilots that perform the rescue. My name is five guiding I am a Black Hawk pilot with California. National Guard we fly age sixty Mike's and it is we're in Fresno. and. That's where I live. So tell us about the capabilities of the Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter. Fantastic, versatile capable machine, and happy to fly. It's got. Lots of things that I hadn't even mastered yet. We came from the older. Lima. Aircraft and just recently upgraded the Mike Model and just learning new things about it pretty much. Every time you fly somebody's got a new way to do something because of course, most things there's there's five ways you can do it and you know the one that you do, but but the guys that use other ways to get to the same result in it's Kinda nice to know those as well. kind of a technology to have on board that helped make the flight possible for example, to you using radar alternators or hover holds or what what kinds of things are you doing? Yeah. We both of those. So we had radar timid. Hover hold we have the terrain integrated into the screen. So we see all the train that is at above my altitude. We have you know airspeed hold out to holds fully coupled flight director to help get the war cloth you if you need to concentrate on something else and I'm guessing you had night vision goggles that tell us about how well they work. We did. So we initially went out there we were under day conditions in it was extremely difficult to get around the fire in certainly, it was impossible for us to penetrate the smoke wall to get to the mammoth lakes. Reservoir. But then as it as we're out there waiting for some tankers to drop their loads, it got dark enough that we did try to gobbles in once once this goggle able, we were to see through the smoke give us another half mile ability to be able to go some valleys and some places that we were not able to do earlier in the day when we tried and had to turn back that's kind of interesting. So what you're saying is that you given the same smoke conditions, you're actually to fly better in them at night with goggles on the daytime without them. Absolutely because The smoke, you just couldn't see, but with the goggles illuminating the fire and the burning embers that gave you a little bit more depth than it. Also, you could see where the high terrain was because it was burning on both sides. So you could see the elevation was you could see where the valley was we could stay in the center of the valley and like another half mile visibility to continue. Are there any kind of engine performance considerations when you're flying in heavy smoke? Sure how you can have compressor stalls in the heated airs less performance than the Cooler? Denser air. So that's part of it not the rotors less lift when when the air is hot and thinner. So that's. Something we always thinking about and we always have performance planning that we do before we leave and then on board the aircraft performance planning. If you get some more need, you thought it was GONNA be. At this altitude of temperature, you can easily get into the onboard computer and put in the correct numbers. The experiencing gets more definite ch situational performance that's happening right here. Right now, this what you can expect the current conditions in it tells you. In meanwhile, all reas on day three of his hike in the back country when he and his friends noticed that something was wrong. As we are. One of the passes over into readies whole. We look. Looked back toward the West and we saw a huge black column of smoke and topped off with a look like senator. Cloud. And boy we studied that for a while and realized that that's a problem that looks like it's from the general area where we grow in. And we carry a GPS just in case we we never use it really, but we have just in case ran a forested area where we can't see any natural features. We WanNA make sure we're on the same route. And we pulled out the GPS and and pinpointed where it was coming from it and sure enough it was coming from. Shaver Lake. Town. We drove through on highway one, sixty eight. So. We tried not to let that get as down too much. But we knew it was fire was probably about fifteen twenty miles from where we were as the crow flies. And then that night as the sun was setting to the West, it was completely obscured in orange by the smoke and we knew that this was going to ask somehow impact our trip. By the time we got down to Heather Lake smoke started to come in the winds shifted and you know it's really just a matter of shifting winds. And the winds shifted and in came into our little bowls a lake you set in a little granite, bowl. And those things tend to truly trap smoke in Chernoff. By the afternoon we were smoked out we could we could hardly across the lake. And started to fall. We had our a Powell a discussion realize. Okay. We need to get out of here tomorrow. Will Get up five in the morning in an Alpine start head on down the mountain and get back to our cars as soon as possible and so that was. Very. Somber. Champ that night. And you could smell smoke. It was very strong and everything was covered with ash and so that night was pretty bad and woke up first thing in the morning it was the same smokey it was dark. Broke camps quickly as possible has breakfast and then headed on down mount. And of course, Johanna was back home wondering about all re what did you do after he left a Kinda, keep track of things. Well, there's a cal fire map that updates. Map the fire status in California. And because we have friends and family who have been evacuated. In the NAPA area and up in Yukio We're very familiar with this map. We we look at it. We see where we're fires growing. And there were a couple of fires prior to his departure. They weren't near where he was going. So there was no concern about that. I didn't even look at the map actually for awhile and then I looked at it. I think it was Saturday morning. and Bam. There was at big fire of Shaver Lake which was not where he was backpacking. I knew he was far enough away for it not to be like an immediate danger to him. But I could see that it was covering the road. He had to go through that very narrow road that we discussed. That, he had to go through in order to access the point where he started backpacking. And I can see that there was no way out and I could see that the fire was growing. To word his location. So that was a little bit concerning. At the same time, helicopter pilot KIP got was preparing for what was to become the first of three nights of helicopter rescues

Scott Spencer: An Ocean Without a Shore
"Guest today is a writer that I wanted to talk to for more than twenty years, and somehow he has slipped through the cracks now. He has a new novel. It is Scott Spencer. The novel is an ocean without a shore. I personally feel it's the book for the time we're living in. Inadvertently, he's written. The book for a person who was suffering the Song Tude of pandemic. Then narrator is a man nicknamed Kip. His real name is Christopher and he discovers. That he has lived his whole life. In Quarantine, can you tell me about the? Yes and Brazil thanks Michael Great to hear Your Voice. KIPNIS Kind of south impose prison because she is in love with his best friend, but he's not out to his best friend out. And he sort of maintains this. Distance. Hoping that something will happen that will. Everything, and that his dream of of of the long unrequited mobile's suddenly be Hinz, and it just goes on and on and on what's he spends a year in the two years, not being open to his friend about his sexuality, it just becomes more and more difficult to get out, and before he knows it decades go by, and he's still in the same situation still waiting, presenting the happen so. Waiting for his life to begin. He suspects. and. I suspect that his suspicion is true. That there are many others like him who never came out of the constant who have lived a life of restraint and lying. Many of the people reading the book, saying Oh. This is not a character for our age. But restraint. Fear desperation. Are qualities that exist in all ages just because there was gay pride doesn't mean that all gay people were able to March fourth, and this is a novel about a person who found himself in the prison of deception. What made you interested? In this extraordinary character, he grew on me. I wanted him to narrate this book because I was really interested in seeing daddy's who'd been a previous look of Minos, interested in seeing him from a different angle and I I thought that that would be kind of you know nick, caraway type of narrator who is they're not there. But. Once! I began writing in his voice. I became more more involved with him. Attached to him, and it really became his story. Not Telling the truth about yourself is something that we all cope with to one degree or another and. It's something that I've personally struggled with not so much in terms of my sexually, but other aspects of me that I don't shame. Shame about didn't WANNA. Do Somehow shift your movers sins such a way that I will be accepted in the world that I lived in. So that sort of section. Interest me, and in also seems to be very very dramatic and I'm also interested in in people who are a little bit left behind by history and Kim's very left behind by his tipples, living in the postal law world, but can't. Be Apart of it. Well. Scott Spencer, I would say that just about every gay person has some point of his trajectory, or another has got to get over. Gov a deep love for a best friend who is not gay. This happens and it happens, and it happens again.

It's a good feeling but we have an incredible show coming up today. We've got Joe Lane here in just a minute She is a pro e Pro. Athlete Health Nutrition coach and founder of fuelling champions. Sam Morris is coming. Up is the founder of the unbreakable man project and Dewan Bennett one of our favorites here on one life radio. Along with many others including Jill He is a licensed professional counselor. And we'RE GONNA be talking about all kinds of things like what to do when you don't like your partner. I think that's really funny. Don't that's A. that's a tough spot especially if you're married what would I but I do think that people you know like each other.

I'm looking forward to him. And as I said I've got Jill Lane on the line She is a pro athlete. Health and nutrition coach and founder of fuelling champions which is a three step sports performance and Athletic Nutrition Program Bill to the potential of student athletes in appearance. That support them. How you doing today Jill? Hey great to be with you again. Burn Yeah I always love having you on the show and for those that don't know that maybe are a new listener From California or here in Dallas. We're on in California on K. MIT in southern California and five counties. But maybe if you're a first time listening but Jill has been on the on the show from the very beginning. We met in the studio actually the first time she was on the air. And she's friends with KIP. Watson and Tina Burnett and a lot of other regulars on the show and so I asked her to call in today to talk about This article that I found eleven natural remedies for anxiety. Because I don't know about any of Y'all out there but I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately and I know a lot of people have it's just the it's just the sign of the Times right. Yeah it is and I think I think the most important thing for people to know is that experiencing anxiety occasionally is a normal part of life. You know it's a normal part of our bodies response. The thing is to know when it's becoming something that starting to control your life because people that start to having Zainy disorders or even to extreme panic attacks. They're trying to start to get in the way of them doing their normal daily thing thinking about the worrying and the the The depression or the physical symptoms of the anxiety like the racing heart and the tight chest and the worry and even sweating for some people. Can I get in the way of their daily life? So it's important to know where you are on that spectrum absolutely and it snowballs on you and I speak from personal experience I started started to experience anxiety anxiety disorder. I'm a little anxious talking about it. I'm SORTA joking but yeah I mean it's it's a big subject and it can spiral on you or snowball on you. I'm very quickly and I do think it's important to keep in mind that there are a lot of natural remedies That we can use along with some other things as well And we're going to talk about it. So this article really Gets into some of the things that I personally use so you wanNA start at the top of the list. You'll yeah I mean I think The first thing that they mentioned is lavender and the the interesting thing about lavender is that essential oils in journal. I think of become like an explosive thing in the quote Unquote Natural Health and wellness world. In the last few years with the advent of you know some big companies and multi level marketing but but essential oils have been around. And I've been part of I kind of line of medicine along with herbs for you know years and years and years for a very long time and I'm familiar with a pleasant smell of lavender. I mean most people like the smell of lavender and the really cool thing about lavender does so many things but like a couple of the other things that we're going to talk about is that it actually enhances Alpha waves in the brain and the Alpha waves in the brain are the ones that kind of help easier for the effects of anxiety and depression and they actually helped make us more creative. Like when you're meditating or practicing some sort of mindfulness or prayer your Alpha wave levels go up even just smelling lavender or applying it. You know in some oil to your body. Help increase Alpha waves and physically changes the wave lengths that are occurring in the brain. So doesn't really power fall. We yeah any one of the things that I that. I was astounded by actually and I've used lavender for years. I love it. I I used to use it. There's a lavender eucalypt eucalyptus blend that. I used to spray. You can spray it on your pillow. You have to be careful though because cats are sensitive to I believe both but But the in in this article that that amaze me was this a twenty ten study conducted in Germany suggested that a lavender oil capsule show similar effectiveness effectiveness in people with J. D. And I'm not I'm not quite sure what. Ged Is. And I did not look it up before we went live is general anxiety disorder which is kind of a generalized anxiety. We'll Sola Raza Pam which is kind of like Oh there's a couple different ones but it's basically like Isn't that the generic form of Valium? If I'm not mistaken it's in that class of drugs for sure but it says it's just as effective in people Or similar effectiveness. Excuse me and people with ged as Lorazepam. A commonly prescribed anti anxiety medication. That's amazing and I think the thing to know about this list of kind of quote unquote natural remedies. Is that like I tell with anybody as soon as you start like. I think anything in your health that you're starting to notice your little off kilter. It is a good time to start with some of these. You know natural things. And if you're having a hard time controlling anxiety and you're on medication you can talk to your position or your your preferred health practitioner about potentially using some of these things in conjunction with your pharmaceutical. And so if you're feeling a little anxious right now which like you said. A lot of people are. There's a lot of uncertainty and we have a lot of new things that we're learning to cope with. You can start with some of these things that are generally regarded as safe. Generally benign generally. Don't interact with other medications but to your point. A lot of essential worlds are really strong for pets. Have to be really More about that but you can start with some of these basics and it may just help with the you know the day to day processing that you're doing You know with the Munis especially like right now that you're subject to On this list is which I know you've told me to take before I have some at my house but it's basically green tea and so you can get green tea. He pretty much anywhere and and let's talk about that for a minute. I WANNA I WANNA really give people out there listening today. Some take home value of things that they can find in almost any grocery store or you know or market or or something like that. Yeah so L. Cnn is actually an amino acid the L. before a word Is how we differentiated amino acid in science land. So I mean isn't amino acid that's found predominantly in green tea. And the really cool thing about is that it to actually affects. Alpha waves in the brain and the cool thing about it is that you can get the benefit whether you're drinking DECAF or regular green tea. And so even if you're drinking green tea in the morning for the oxidants and the caffeine but named can't can work along with the caffeine for focus creativity a bit of dampening the anxiety as long as caffeine doesn't triggering society which for some people actually does. And so you have to know that about yourself. But Elsie needs in a capsule form is like just extracting that amino acids from tea leaves and you can get the benefits at a very low dose one hundred or two hundred milligrams and it's been shown to help again with the Alpha brainwaves which again help Easing the effect of depression and anxiety and helping with creativity and just kind of helping keep your brain and kind of chill state not like your zone out but preventing it from being stuck in overdrive. Which is what anxiety kind of feels like you know your gear engines running too hard. It's a help. Just pump the brakes just a little bit But not so much that you can't be creative and that's what I love about Al. So that's a really. You know their studies on it and children and in adults and so it's something again it's like you said a first line of defense is something you can get just by drinking green tea and you can get DECAF and make some ice cream teen with your children right now at home. Yeah I'm so great really practical thing to start
The Final Furlong Podcast
Review: A Magical British Champions Day
"They cave obviously you were on Judy for sky sports alongside Freddie Tilleke and Alexander what was your impression of the latest renewal we've been having this essence twenty eleven it was the first time that they're the change to the jumps course they've basically said that saved the meeting that they would have had to cancel otherwise what was your impression of the day the position it's in the calendar it's always vulnerable to rain testing conditions it was great that they had the contingent and see their kings could have got a bit awkward otherwise the racing would have been at risk I think on the round course in terms of even being allowed to go ahead such was the level the moisture knocking around so we got it on I thought it was great racing it lacked a little bit of star power I think it's fair to say Bush on the day the race themselves for fantastic spectacles we got some great performances and we've planted look forward to what we saw with you to next season even I think and yeah look at sprint champion stay doesn't always necessarily deliver on what it's supposed to give its British champions day where one assumes the champ beans Ron and we have seen one champion perhaps on Saturday but it still delivered like reading high-cost Racing Really enjoyable ray say experience discredit atmosphere there and yeah personally I really enjoyed Chris deliver for you think Kevin Neal and the necessarily making champions with these races are all the title is there a there are so many big flat races are there in this country and that comes out so you just have to hope the good horses turn up and on this occasion I you know in most cases they didn't really I think in particular when you get really testing conditions for arc weekend fancy bringing those horses again two weeks later you know that was basically what they said that the wasn't it onto that factor I think one thing that might help going forward as if they commit to using ener- track just for all the run course races from can you just say well that's GonNa be our course champions day in the future for all that has been the hurdles back as far as far as I can make it worked fine on Saturday okay which is the first time it's ever been used for flat racing and it provided you know he was still soggy surface but it's it's better ground than you would go on the run course for sure and any encouragement you can give trainers and owners are not going to be turning up to race on the swamp is is pretty good news I mean I think the fact is you know this is the ground that we know expect for that day for all there were a couple of early champions days Iran serve goodish ground we'll agree UC ideally GonNa get lots of rain and it will turn soft and heavy in places this time of year and so even did freak weather one year where it was good ground again the reality is probably haven't been campaigned to turn up on that day because everyone's expecting softish grown which is a very good point at the atmosphere watching the sky seemed to be electric as well Peter so you're now a royal ascot veteran and ask veteran at that matter what did you make Champions Day in terms of my experience as a huge racing fan it was absolutely fantastic everything came together in terms of of the experience of being there and watching some top quality racing now when you think about the very name champions day and to the to everybody else's point I hear where you're coming from it's it's pretty tricky when you have a race that's two weeks after the most prestigious race in in Europe and the Ark and then from my selfish America part of the still think about the Breeders Cup all the time and with that coming in in two weeks as a potential target it's a it's tricky to to crown a champion between two champion two other days that are essentially designed to do the same thing but I think if you just take it for what is it provides a fantastic alternative and great end ABC's and target for a lot of domestic Brunner's from here and ends up being a racing fan I I I think it really deserves its prominent place towards the end of the calendar I I had a fantastic day out there and look forward to to try to many times more I was there in fifteen as well when I was living in London by a the experience of it it's obviously a very different animal than the royal me eating but something that I enjoy going to immensely and will target as a racing fan for many years to come a thoroughly enjoyed it I have to say and we'll done to the teams Sky Kevin obviously firm parts of that Long said Alex and Freddie I thought they did a brilliant job MC fits doing interviews I would have preferred it though admitted a brilliant interview with Aidan O'Brien Turku Gardens won the the longest cup which will talk about a few minutes time but I would have preferred it if mic was the one and not Richie to get Sean Lee whoa conduct because then I could have that clip to pay play in the final form of podcast we'll because it doesn't belong to US I can't play it damnit Mick Fitzgerald got that gold over what it means I don't mind that's fine yeah it's only the tenth highest grossing films of All Time Anyway the KIP CO champion stakes will be and with the feature race and magical who was beaten ten lengths into fifth in the arc only thirteen days prior to this race got back to winning ways she is real superstar of mayor but she's always enables shadow whenever she faces her even though Abel was beaten in the Ark this is the first time that Aidan O'Brien has ever won the champion stakes which in itself seems extraordinary but Chris it seems to me and we were talking about it on choose stay with Rushie and on Thursday with Steve Jones and rory champion the champion stakes for all that it is a prestigious prize maybe for ballydoyle it's a little bit an afterthought in in that position between the ARC and the Breeders Cup Classic Slash Breeders Cup Turf But this horse has proved to be good enough to go and get the job done for them and a worthy winner prestigious yeah I mean it has to be afterthought doesn't I mean you look at the best thing for the in stakes at about the time of the art I think you'd like a day before the art the top four in the batting stage we're all going to run in the are you know Japan is in there as well and others a new enable would have been one obviously so that's just the way it is when you talk class middle distance horses and they're probably GonNa go to long shot I aren't they and then case who's fit to go again and well it would be able because it seems that she's old boots what was this our is our ninth run of the year yes it was and it off in the middle of eight days after the grand national was her first run of the year and you know that nearly gotta be her best maybe upon short when she was chasing home able in New York but I mean she's holding her farm and it must be every she'll go again breeders cup I think she's fantastic I you know being jumps racing in principle I su- admire any horse the can be that jewel and can contain their enthusiasm for racing after all sorts of different experiences you know one talk class race after another one country net another one you d ground the last couple of starts and it doesn't seem to take anything off her she always runs a race Peter with a view to the previous cup she is obviously self boots she won the phillies and mirrors at the ascot meeting last year beating coronet she's now won the champion stakes proving
