A highlight from 120: Part 2: Tim Cardwell is a Top Cop for Drug Interdiction but Nearly Loses His Life
"Let's kind of pull on that dope thread a little bit, because you get onto the, you survive the academy, obviously. So you graduate, you get out, you start working. As you're working, we want to talk about now what leads you into doing drug interdiction. So obviously, when you start off, you're with a field training officer, you go through your training phase, then you get out on your own. What kind of things were you doing initially when you were out on your own? How does North Carolina do it? I mean, you train for a while, then you're out. And standard -like what? Traffic enforcement, work accidents? Yes. Pretty much, is that what you were doing? Change tires, go get gasoline. I warned you, Murph. Don't go there. One of these days, we're going to be driving, there's going to be Murph on the side of the road. You go, hey, can you help me? I go, no. Hey, Steve and I have had many of these constant back and forths on this exact thing. But yeah, so when I graduated the academy, it was 20 weeks, reported to my first duty station and did have a field training officer actually. What was that at? It was in Asheboro, North Carolina, Randolph County, which is on the south side of Greensboro. It was about an hour and 15 minutes from where I grew up, but it was still within the same troop, which was most state agencies have that similar structure where you have a troop and then you have districts within that troop. So that was my first duty station and I had a primary and a secondary training officer and went through, I'm thinking it was at the time, maybe six or eight weeks field training. And my primary field training officer, his name was Wayne Brumley, just a jewel of a man, wonderful training guy. And my secondary, his name was Tony Miller, who later he rose to the rank of major within the organization. He was a young guy who was been on about five or six years when I came on. So I had a good mixture of, you know, youthfulness as well as very veteran experience. And the shift I was on, it was similar type makeup. And so going into the field training officer, you know, having some of that law enforcement background, I had become pretty good at catching impaired drivers at the police department. And so it was a natural... Wait a minute, all the impaired drivers were at the police department? When I worked at the police department, I should say, I apologize. But it was just something I thought, you know, this is where I want to go. And so, and my training officer, he was one of the leading impaired driver troopers in the district and he really focused and was successful with that. He taught me a lot, but, you know, in the beginning, doing the traditional trooper type efforts, that's what my goal was. I really enjoyed it. It's what I wanted to do. And, you know, there's some funny stories in there, but one in particular that my training officer shared at my retirement luncheon and he would share with you today was, this was just kind of an internal trooper agency thing. I don't know if you did this, Morgan, or not, but when you would encounter in the old days, somebody whose license were suspended roadside or whatever, you would take their license there on the spot and you would put it over your driver's side window along the headliner there. Just slide it in there or you'd keep it over your sun visor. And my training officer had tons of those and it was just always something I remember Roger Smith having. So it was one of those little symbolic visuals that I thought, I want that. So I kind of set out on a mission, you know, to see how many licenses I could collect roadside in. So I made a comment to my training officer at the time and he said, you know, there are more trouble than they're worth. You have to keep up with them. And I said, well, that's what I want to do. So he handed me a handful before I got out of training and said, here you go, maybe this will help you feel like a real trooper. And so it was just one of those little symbolic things that I connected with. But in that, you know, his nickname was Brutal Brumley. He was a former military guy, about six foot, six one, thin guy, was very physically fit, marathon runner, still runs today and he's mid to late seventies. developed But he that nickname because of, you know, some roadside encounters, obviously through the courts. And I saw it in action during training. We stopped a gentleman for speeding one day late evening and the gentleman didn't initially want to cooperate. And this was when he had turned it over to me and he was just watching from a distance and, you know, trying to find my way through. This guy wasn't the most cooperative after a couple of requests. So next thing I know, my training officer commences to removing the gentleman from the car and not in how the gentleman wanted to cooperate. And this guy was twice our size. And so I saw firsthand in action, you know, how he earned his nickname. But he was very fair. And anyway, when we got the gentleman under control and took him to jail, he had a long conversation with me about taking control. He said, you cannot let anybody else get the upper hand on you out here. It's because of survivability. So it was a valuable lesson taught at the time. But, you know, I've seen him encounter so many situations where he showed a lot of compassion through accident investigations, as well as roadside stops for different violations. And so he was well -rounded and gave me a good lesson. And but at the time, interdiction was not even in the culture of the Highway Patrol, wasn't even thought about. It was just traditional trooper work. And the county that I went to had eight miles of interstate. But where we worked was non -interstate. And so that leads me into once he cut me loose, passed all my training, I started doing traditional trooper work. And at the time when I joined the patrol, I kind of have to go back here. There we patrol the troopers that have, you know, gotten killed in action. They kind of came in clusters, two and three at a time. And just before I joined patrol, we'd had three members that were killed roadside. And two of those were on interstate highway. And where I grew up, we didn't have interstate highway. So I didn't have any familiarity to it. And so I was like, you know, I don't want nothing to do with that. I just want to be a traditional trooper. But I was very proactive. I was finding a lot of stuff, roadside. And, you know, when I would make an arrest for driving one paired, I took the time to go up and search the car. And if I found anything else, I was making charges. And so I kind of developed the desire to do that. And then in our patrol office one day, my secondary training officer, the gentleman I mentioned to you earlier who had been on last time, he had attended our first interdiction training course, which was taught internally. And I remember him talking about it. And for some reason, it just connected, you know, I connected with it, the stories he was telling, the lessons that they were talking about. And when our agency started the interdiction effort, it was in partnership with DEA. And they had started the experiment on Interstate 95 down in Fayetteville. And the troopers that were working it down there had had a lot of success. They were kind of the first generation interdiction troopers. This is, you know, the mid and late 80s. And so a couple of gentlemen by the name of Chris Dew, who had a first K -9, and Terry Isaacs, who was really the one who was making a lot of seizures at the time, they taught that course. So anyway, he comes back to our district and is talking some about it, and it just captured me. And he had a bulletin that they had given him in that school, and it was an epic bulletin. It was a teletype that would list, you know, seizures from throughout the country of seizures that made the threshold. And so I started reading it. And for whatever reason, it just connected with me. And that's how I began, you know, pursuing the interdiction efforts. Oh, I remember reading those teletypes, too. You know, those were very interesting. You get the law enforcement officers killed summary and then the teletypes. But you mentioned something, too, I want to ask you about. You said that they traditionally didn't work interstate. You know, is that just because of like you're talking about the danger or was it because C is kind of the opposite, a lot of troops where I was at. We had a lot of Tulane, in fact, all of my stuff was Tulane, and you would have killed to be up on the interstate where you thought all the action was. Why did they keep you away from the interstate or why did you stay away from the interstate just because of part of the danger factor or something else? Well, I think it was a combination of reasons. Again, going back to where I said I grew up, non -interstate, a lot of secondary roads. That's just what I was familiar with. And, you know, those folks that had been like Roger Smith and a couple of his workmates, that's where they worked and built their reputation. And so, you know, trying to follow that lead, I think that's why I did that. And my training officer, he worked some interstate, but he wasn't in the interdiction area. He was just, you know, regular trooper enforcement. But that's the way he operated was secondary roads. You know, in that day, you were heavy on looking for impaired drivers. Then, you know, looking for the under the influence drivers, especially on Friday and Saturday nights on evening shift, it was a lot of priority placed on that. And so just trying to fall in line and follow their lead, I think is why I did that. And, you know, but what I quickly learned was what the interstate did bring you was if you were low for the week as far as, you know, number of citations or activity that you had to turn in at the end of the week for the supervisor to see, you know, you could go out there and with high volume traffic, you could quickly pick up on some of your total numbers for the week. And wait a minute, did the North Carolina Highway Patrol have a quota? No, we did not have a quota, but I will say the supervisors did monitor your number of contacts per hour of preventive patrol. That's how it was worded. And you had better be in that district average of what everybody else had. So, you know. I had somebody asked me that one time, do you guys have a quota? Said, no, sir, I can ride as many as I want. How many would you like today? Good response. Yeah, so that, you know, that was kind of my introduction. And then, you know, with my training officer, my secondary training officer introduced me to that. It just kind of took. And so I started going out there and trying it and having little success. Really didn't know what I was doing, but it was just a process of learning from there. And, you know, I was a very proactive trooper. I, you know, did a lot of high production. Got unmarked a car at a young age, young in my career. And anyway, the next time the next class came open internally, my then district first sergeant asked me if I would be interested in going. I said, yeah. And I remember sitting through that class with those troopers teaching it, and it just captivated me. That's, I mean, that's the simplest way. You know, they were given some of their case studies talking about, you know, what their findings were and some of the follow -up results. I thought, that's what I really want to try. And so I came back and started trying to apply. So you started doing this. So what was your first, what was your first big seizure? What's the one that cracked the, because, you know, you have to go, we started it. I was part of a four -person team, four -man team at that time. We started our interdiction unit. And so when you start off, you don't really like say, know what you're doing. You get a few things here and there. We were working 54, which if you remember, the Pipeline Operation report out of Epic, Highway 54 that came up out of Texas and Oklahoma and through Kansas, that was a major pipeline. They were making lots of arrests. So we started working that area. You know, we were stopping everything in sight, you know, trying to look for stuff. But you always kind of start off small. What was that watershed event for you? What was that thing that kind of cracked it open that once you get that first one, it's like, I got this figured out. Well, so this was in 1988. Again, it wasn't the culture of the Highway Patrol. It was just kind of getting started. And so there really wasn't a lot of information to pull from or, you know, a lot of guys saying, hey, let's go out and work this road and look for this. It was just kind of, you know, an individual effort, so to speak. And at that same time, one of the troopers I mentioned early on Interstate 95, Chris Dew, he had had our first canine on the patrol, but it was just a narcotic dog. It was a Beagle. And, you know, some about that during the training, listening to him talk about, you know, the role the canine played that interested me. So when I came back to the district, not long after that, requests came through patrol headquarters or troop headquarters, any troopers interested in having a canine, you know, submit your interest. So I thought about it and I did. And the district commander at that time or the troop commander at that time, who was very much old school, was not on board with this, he was passing it along from patrol headquarters. When I submitted my name, he sent a message back that said, if you want a canine, I think I can find somewhere else in a different place to get you a canine assigned to you, meaning, you know, I'm going to transfer if you really want this canine. And again, you got to understand the internal culture of the organization. So I said, no, sir, no, sir, I'm not interested in one. So anyway, there was another supervisor who had been involved in the early stages of it. He said, I thought you expressed interest in this. I said, I did. But here's what, you know, what I was told. And he said, I'll take care of that. And I was like, oh, no, please don't get me in trouble here. You thinking Lumberton? Here I come. You know what, Trooper Cardwell just told me there for sergeant. And so anyway, you know, next thing you know, I got word that, hey, if you want a dog, we'll assign you one. We're going to send one to the central part of the state and one east part of the state. And you report to this canine school, which was actually in Greensboro at the time. And so we did. And anyway, the school was about 10 days, 11 days. You know, again, patrol hadn't had a program at that time. They were just starting to get into it. And so getting the dog really helped as far as going out roadside, learning what I was doing. And so I had made some phone calls to troopers that I had learned about on this epic Operation Pipeline Bulletin. There was a couple of guys that I kept consistently reading their names. Do you remember a guy named Jeff Faison out of Florida? Yeah, I remember his name. He was kind of the first generation that came along at the time. These other troopers I mentioned that taught us. And then there was some in the area, neighboring states, Mike Ralston and Georgia State Patrol, Benji Hodges, Georgia. And there were some others throughout the country. But I can't remember what it was that caused me to reach out to Mike one day, because I had expressed interest in getting more training. But again, it wasn't the culture. So somehow I made contact with Mike. He worked north of Atlanta on Interstate 75. And where I worked was Interstate 85 and Interstate 40. And I just cold -called him and introduced myself. And anyway, I told him what I was seeking. He said, sure, you're welcome to come down and ride with me if you'd like. I had to take vacation time because I couldn't get approval to go on patrol time. So I went down there and rode with him, spent my own money. And he took care of me really good. He showed me a lot. And then I come back. And we had had another gentleman by the name of Ed Lowry, who had worked on Interstate 95 in Fayetteville in our agency. I had gotten approval to go ride with him. But I had to take vacation time, too. So I went and rode with him. And this was the watershed moment that you're speaking of. While riding with him on 95, he was kind of the hottest guy at that time consistently making cases. And this was when everything was flowing out of South Florida, back when Steve was, you know, he was familiar with all the importation through South Florida. Well, everything those guys were getting was Miami -connected in some way, shape, form, or fashion. And I remember getting in a car with Ed. And he had just come off some days off. And says, he Bo, I don't know if we're going to have any luck. And that's what he called everybody was Bo. I don't know why. That was just the habit of his. But he said, but we're going to go out and try. I'm going to see if I can get you something. Well, the second car that he stopped, it was like that epic bulletin teletype operation pipeline played out before my eyes. The second stop, he gets a four -door, I believe it was a Buick old four -door sedan coming out of Miami, registered out of New Jersey, male -female occupant, and found a compartment built between a rear seat and trunk. And it had like five kilos of Coke. I thought I was just, I was seeing it play out before my eyes. And that just, that was my watershed moment. I was like, this is what I want to do. I had been trying it up to that point with minimal success, but between him and Mike, it really opened my eyes to other things that I really had not been paying attention to, human behavior, the importance of the interview. And anyway, so when I left from there, I was really energetic. And so I come back and started applying it. And having learned to operate my canine, I started looking at things differently as far as my approach and how to talk with people and what to look for roadside interview -wise. And so that first big seizure was a U -Haul that had come out of South Texas, which obviously still is today, but then the major source for our area, it was a U -Haul and it had about 850 pounds of marijuana in it. And once I got that, I was hooked. I mean, I was hooked a hundred percent. Well, let's go back to that seizure of Coke. When you opened it, did you know, I mean, when you saw the bricks, obviously, did you know what it was at that time or did you kind of have to go, okay, wait, you know, I'm just kind of like, whoa, what is this? Oh no, I know what that is. Kind of, yeah. I had never seen a kilo in person. And obviously it had, but I had not. I'd seen many pictures. And so I'm like, well, that's what it really looks like, I guess. So yeah, it was a really good learning experience. Now, so the 850 pounds of weed, that wasn't the case that you and I worked on, was it? No, this was a brother and sister that had come out of San Antonio and they were delivering somewhere in, I think around Richmond, Virginia area. But it's an interesting story on that. We had not had that kind of seizures go through our court system. And when it went for first appearance the next morning, the judge who was listening to the probable cause hearing, he said, he pulled me to the side before the hearing. He said, now, from what I'm told, you can't do this. And I said, well, what do you mean? And he said, you can't just go in and start searching somebody's belongings. And I said, well, I didn't, sir. I said, they gave me permission. And he was like, what? And I said, yes, sir. He said, they gave you permission to search their truck, knowing that they were carrying this? I said, yeah. And he's like, oh, okay. So it was a learning experience for a lot of us through the court process and myself. I love the way the judge was having a preliminary hearing out in the hallway before anybody was even sworn in. Well, again, it's a small community. And anyway, everybody knew everybody. And I'd built a good rapport with this judge. And I just remember that conversation. And once I said that, he said, wow, can't believe somebody would do that. I said, well, he said, where'd you learn to do this? And I told him. And he said, so they tell you to ask people to search the vehicle if you think you're suspicious to want to look for something else? I said, yes, sir. And he said, and they actually do? I said, yes, sir, they do. It's unbelievable. It is. It goes back to your point you were making. If you understand human behavior, if you understand how to talk to them and set the right circumstances, I mean, even to this day, Murph and I were talking about it on our Patreon channel, but at the time, it was the largest seizure of cash in Kansas. But it was only a quarter of a million. I mean, they've gotten much bigger stuff now. And people are going, I mean, they let you search the car. The guy I remember to this day, his name is Brian Lacy. I looked at him. I said, now, do you have anything that would be illegal in the state of Kansas? Guns, drugs, large amounts of cash. He says, no. I said, would you? And one question, one thing I learned to ask was not can I search? Because people always want to say no. I said, would you have any objection if I search for these items? And they would say, no. Well, no meant yes. And he even offered to show me, hey, I got a briefcase here. I opened up the trunk. There's the cash. And in his briefcase, plans for a methamphetamine laboratory. He had a marijuana press. It's like, you dumb son of a bitch. All you had to say was no. And we didn't have a canine at that point. There's not much I could have done. Yeah. It's amazing. I was just thinking, Tim, remember Dave Wilhelm with customs? Yes. Down in Charlotte. And he was murdered in Atlanta. So God rest him. But he called me one day, and I can't remember if it was Asper. I think it might have been Randleman. And he called and he says, hey, Murphy. He said, I got a tip. This trailer out in the country, some Mexicans are in there. Supposed to be sitting on a big stash of weed. He said, I need somebody to speak Spanish. So I met him down there. We took some people with us and walked up to this trailer. I remember that it was a huge lot with these big, tall pine trees. But there were no limbs from like 10 feet, 12 feet high before the limb started. So you had this wide open, we think of as a killing field that you have to go through to get to that front door. But we have no reason to be pulling our weapons out. To go up, like we're going to do a tactical entry. We knock on the door and I get up there and do use my Spanish. And they're like, yeah, come on in. We go inside. I forget how many is 1 ,200 pounds of weed or whatever they'd been using saws to cut it up. But there was an AR -15 sitting behind the front door. I mean, they pulled out and wiped us all out. But it's just amazing. They're sitting on the dope and they're like, sure, come on in. You know, and Tim, I don't know if you remember seeing this video if it was a Texas DPS trooper, but he's on the side of the road and he's talking to this guy in that Texas draw going, now son, you got anything that's illegal? You got, well, and so he's talking and you can see it's the old dash cam. This kid's getting nervous. Now, do you have anything in the car that's illegal? No, he's like, would you mind if I checked your car? And this kid just vapor locks and passes out into the ditch. He goes, well, I'll take that as an admission of guilt.

Beyond the Language Wars: R & Python for the Modern Data Scientist
"Can you describe the set of events that led to our by thon becoming the primary data science today and how this translates into what we call the language war between armed by phone and something that we talked about ready to very beginning of the book is kind of a little bit unusual that we will begin a book on unarmed python by giving this whole history of languages. But i want to that way because i thought that it's important to help you understand the cranks and how we got to where we are and so one of the first questions be blast when they're trying to decide. I learn our show. I learnt python is. What's the difference between aren't python and you'll see a lot of post on stack overflow or different a message. Boards rented where people talk about What are the basic differences between these languages in wash use one versus the other and nobody comes to a clear consensus or a clear. Understanding the differences tried to do in the first chapter is just outline the history of the which is to give an idea about the different ethel's and how things work differently between the two languages so so are was there kind of at the very beginning of scientific computing in academia in the late seventies early eighties in bell. Laboratories was really developed as a programming language for doucet's analysis and within the book i call it a fubu language so who is a street where clothing company from new york. That I used to love when i was a teenager. And is it stands for four as by us. And i like this forest by his attitude is very much a four the community by the community. Kind kind of those in this very much. What are is right is forced decisions by statisticians in. It's just meant to just get statistics that get dot announces his work with down and just just get it done into program language in his own right. But it's first and foremost used for doing that. Analysis and that really shaped all of what kim afterwards in r. and python kind comes from a different direction python originated as a generalist polka me language to make just entry into programming easier with a nice syntax and An easier access to managing all kinds of different tools and system administration and building applications and web development so e cat. It's fingers everywhere. Generalist programming language and then came. That assigns later on so python. Wasn't that a science. I and programming second was kind of the other way

And how are you setting about to fix it. It's a great question. And getting into the business being savvy entrepreneurs i'd i i always encourage people to look deeply at the problem. You now think thinking through the obesity of damage. Most people are like. Oh it's personal choice. People just need to pick a salad instead of a mcdonald's big mac and if you look back over history going back to the eighty seventies and even sixties. We didn't have this problem in the united states. It's relatively new problem for us. And the transition that happened in society Which was a fantastic Transition that all of us are in full support of Was that women. Entered the workforce so there was no longer one major member of the household at home cooking three meals a day. Like leave it to beaver style You now have women working right alongside men fifty sixty plus hours a week like like my wife That created a environment in the economy. Where getting food quickly became the key. Thing that americans focused on and that in the late seventies and especially in the eighties and nineties led to the rise of fast food ultimately time became the big factor for people to eat and as that happened You know we started focusing less and less on You know on the health aspect cooking from home and all of those types of things when it comes to eating and more and more on the convenience of food so that was our fix with trifecta as we said how can we be more convenient than fast food. And you know unless you're in puerto rico. Sorry john You know we we shipped the food fully cooked directly to your door. You don't even have to go through the drive through That was our market solution to out compete fast food in the marketplace So that that really was our whatever you wanna call. It are better mouse trap or solution. excetera is we shortened. The supply chain By cutting the the retailer and the distributor out of the equation so you don't you don't go to the grocery store to pick up trifecta you ordered on the internet we ship it directly to your house

"Guess this is this is partly personal. But I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who is interested in this story. So I'll share it with my fellow fans of rock music. And especially back when I was really, you know, getting into it back in the seventies. And I've been I've been a radio listener as a kid from Cali. I can't remember 56 years old, uh, listen to a lot of great music of big fan of top 40 radio back in the late sixties. The Motown sound. Then, as we got in the early seventies, I got my little transistor radio and got into more of the Beatles. The Eagles as they came on in the mid late seventies, especially but also, uh, Kearney and wings and triumph and yellow yellow was probably one of my favorites. But this band also held the spot. The band's Kansas. You probably remember this song dust in the wind, Give a listen to this violent solar. Really quick man who did that Robby Steinhardt. The original violinist for Kansas, Also, a co lead vocalists actually sings Believe vocal on this song as well. Backup vocal Well, we lost Robbie over the weekend, he died from acute pancreatitis. The founding member of the band and a rarity. I mean, a violin player in a rock band. How did that all come about? My parents asked me to play the violin, I guess made me play as of island would be more accurate. I was the first chair in my high school orchestra. My junior high school orchestra in my grade school orchestra. Remember when Philly heart call me and he said, I heard you play and I wanted to find out if you wanted to get together and form a band. I remember being in Lawrence, Kansas and seeing him playing and singing, and I just thought that is a guy that I need to be in a band with. I've never seen anybody else like that guy. I've never heard anybody play like that guy and I've never heard anybody sing that way, Robbie said. Do you guys have a tape? So I sent him a reel to reel and he called back. He said. Awesome. I'm in that piece Audio from the documentary Kansas Miracles out of nowhere. Robby Steinhardt was unusual. He played the violin. Yeah, we have fiddle players. But this guy was a true classical violin player in a rock band and just totally helped to, you know to to forge a new sound, of course. As we mentioned dust in the wind, but carry on my wayward son, another favorite of theirs that I love playing the game tonight like that one as well point of no return. So the list goes on and on just some great music. Romney Robby Steinhardt dead at the age of 71 from pancreatitis, So it's a little sad news there for you, and I'm like I say, partly personal. I wanted to put that on the air, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one Alan checking in with me saying Thank you. You're welcome, Ellen. I just Couldn't let let that go by

You're much more likely to get sick with it and have a bad outcome. If you are older, but I I saw a statistic. People who were hospitalized with Covid about 80% of them are obese. That's your biggest co morbidity right there. Obesity. You can be older, have covid and have no symptoms. I know someone who didn't and she's got she's in her. Late seventies. She knows she had covid. She had to go for a blood test should go for some testing testing like you've covid. She's like, Wait, wait. She'll fine. Um So listen, there are a lot of people have negative outcomes. And I'm not denying that people died from Covid. Of course they did. It was so new. We didn't know anything about it. We didn't know how to treat it. Um, but this idea you know, she mentioned, she said, you may not be able to work. I know people who are going college now who are young, who have very sensitive very little chance of having a negative outcome from Covid. Who are being forced to get the vaccine just to get an education. There are people who are being told that if you want to work here, you have to get the vaccine. I don't know what I would do if I was in that situation. And there were a lot of people, you know, I think we're gonna be faced with that. I'm just curious what you do.

And what he did, You know, um That our odds and at odds with each other he again once he's echoing the same thing he wants these vaccines mandated. I have been of this opinion and I remain of that opinion. But I do believe at the local level, Jake. There should be more mandates. There really should be. We're talking about life and death situation. We've lost 600,000 Americans already and was still losing more people. So he wants your local government to mandate it again.

Because I don't talk about my status. I don't think it's anyone's business. I don't talk about my other medical history. So why would I run around telling, telling its total strangers about my medical history? You wouldn't do it for anything else. And yet we're expected to do it freely for this And and to me. That's a problem. I won't get tested for anybody's. I think I was very sick in the beginning of March of 2020 like right In the beginning, I had like the flu, but like a moderate flu for three days. My husband's like, Well, you want to get tested for anybody's and I said No, because I don't want the government to have any information on me One way or the other. I just don't.

"You know how it is that so many of the bars have been integrated over the years or not integrated and you had bars. That were almost exclusively men and went exclusively women. And i'm not sure if this has been your experience but when i first came out which was the late seventies. I came out. My circle of friends was ninety. Nine point nine percent white gay males wasn't planned but it just happened that way that if you lived in a certain area and went to a certain bar you met white gay males yeah didn't meet lesbians. You didn't meet people of color. You didn't meet straight people and so back in those days when we were still struggling even war for our our right to exist we kind of bonded in those kinds of groups and a lot of the bars you would walk into would have been an all white male or you know all blackmail or all lesbian. but there wasn't a lot of integration like there is now and i think that was a factor that kind of propelled the popularity of gay bars tax centers. Because you went there to see your own kind whereas now like you said you know everybody has a straight friend. Gay friend a lesbian friend. A pan friend a trans friend and they go out of the group to who knows where could be applebees. They don't care in or could be some trendy little bohemian bars somewhere. Coffee shop Budgets the opposite which is also kind of controversial in our community which is sometimes they all descend upon the gay bars so especially in l. a. The abbey in always been a cornerstone in. And and it's you know it. It creates controversy because more and more straight people including women that are celebrating their their bachelorette parties would show up there and have a you know.

I'm as big as I am today, but I've loved the potato cakes and I think every meal I ever had an Arby's has always included, potato cakes. And I know there's nothing I can do at least, I'm not the only one upset and I know it's silly to be upset but well they kind of teased that they may be coming back on a limited basis down the road.

And i think stronger than o'brien and severa. I don't want to step in any toes but that was my personal thinking. Did jim approach you about being his partner. Yes he did. Yes he certainly did and i wanna talk about a couple of things that you brought up their number one. Yeah jimmy and kenny were together for about eleven years. Oh yes. They had some really strong road. Experience day open for a lot of. They became very very popular on the college circuit. Remember back in the late seventies early eighties holidays were booking comedians. Right left to do concerts and being also booked on the open for major rock bands. You know right right.

Fill kenza veras position because you guys had already worked together. He was pretty aware of you and who you were. Because let's be honest for the podcast audience if you hadn't thought about it when you're comedy team that's actually more stressful than a marriage because you're not only sharing so much of your lives and and being blind just makes it exponentially harder but still It's it goes beyond the relationship because it's also business relationship and comedy teams. Don't historically last that long. Obviously there's a few that have done really well. You know a laurel and hardy and in some of the classics but in the modern comedy age there has not been a lot of comedy duos that lasted very long because of the difficulties and u. n.

Yeah but it was an interesting evolution. back then because a another thing that a lot of people don't and i think the generations that are have come after us Back in the late seventies and the eighties. The gay bars were everything to us. They were our social centers. There are safe havens. They were the places. We had political conversations and organized for either protest or some kind of mild or even severe activism Anything enjoyed get drugs and drug just saying particularly noted by the bars that had huge flashing signs that said no drugs. Tolerated manage their pride. I usually meant that there was probably you know a line of code going down the middle of the bar down but You know is a completely different situation. Than and i really felt like unity. I mean when you walked into a bar whether it was a small bar like bulldogs or medium size bar like far library or large bar like backstreet. You walked in there and you felt like the people that were there where your friends in a you felt like you had a connection to them on some level because we were all. They're trying to do what you know the kids today. Call being your authentic self. And that's what we were trying to do. Because we could not do that at work. We could not do that at the restaurant. We could not do that at the bank or the beach swimming pool. So that was the place where we could proverbially and literally let our hair down and be the people that we felt that we were.

John appreciate you coming onto the design intent and having a conversation with us about design and some of the things that you're doing met you through mutual friend and He thought it would be a good idea. That maybe talk to you. And i agreed. I think you come at the design world from an interesting perspective. You've seen a lot change. You're still a practicing designer. And you're a professor in so Why don't you just tell us a little bit about kind of a brief history of your background and where you're teaching and some of the things that you're doing right now. Yeah so. I actually a graduate of the college for creative studies and graduated in the late seventies than Went to work for steelcase out of school. Wanted to work in europe in the early eighties there and had a job lined up over there and then the economy went soft and it fell through because of it and so i ended up working with hayworth. They were young company at the time. Really for a from a design standpoint or pretty established to a sales products they had a really wanted to get into product of all of the. So i i ended up sticking with that and going to work with them. As kind of a partial consult worried go over part of the week and work with them take work back hall and a through that i established a number of clients was in the furniture industry and exhibits. The i always did architectural renderings. Did whatever i could take get As far as a young person dudes know establish a consulting practice and So it worked out pretty well allowed meeting at my summers to travel over to europe and and exploring for quite a while and So from that led to me about really developed my practice where i could Develop apiece piece from hands up all the way to a prototype. So that's kind of what i've stocked with in the mid eighties. I also went to work as an agile. Professor at college studies were had the pleasure of having a number of really wonderful students had super success and in become lifetime friends really so fortunate that had that dynamic of doing both kinda maintain it over the years or recently disturbed the last year and a half. I've gone whole time as a professor at the school Which is which is worked out credit. Anyway i i'm gone there quite a bit anyway so i i enjoy it. So the a- the mix between being a professional and an educator is really nice you tend to tend to keep you on your toes in also keeps you current with software technique the positions that are out there. And i'm sure you've experienced that when you talk to young designers to bring them through for interviews or internships refreshing. Yeah now for sure. It's it's always interesting to see what what the younger designers are working on what they seize important what what is relevant to them and trying to I guess forecast what their needs might be at. You know having them at on staff or working with them. I know dan. Dan you've hired. You've had a lot of younger designers on their staff over the years dance. Probably a little bit more versed with some of the younger crowd than than myself this year. I've i've i've got a nine staff. What you clues one intern in so it's been quite refreshing to have that sort of new outlook Kinda working working with me. I certainly appreciate it because they bring a little bit of vigor. Back into the studio Compared to the guys that are like you know in their forties and crack and fifty So it's nice kind of keeps. The i think it keeps everybody Relevant and keeps them all on their toes. so it's always good to have fresh talent coming in. I really enjoy.

I would never have classified the avengers as sci fi. But you say there are a few episodes that are could be genuinely called scifi. I would call the avengers and qualifications the showed reinvented itself every few years and You know again towards the end towards the part of the avengers. That is far more familiar to me. I think you could safely call it. A sort of fantasy spy caper It just it does not take itself quite quite fun tested. It doesn't take itself seriously enough to be the real running you know. Let's go down to the recording of clowns and find all the eggs that have their registered makeup stored on. You know it's a. It's a very bizarre. It's a surreal world that it happens him and so i'm cheaper than them fancies. You could make the argument. That james bond is fantasy. All fiction is in a way is a fantasy is is not real but in other words it is. It is existing idiots existing in a world that is not meant to approximate the real world. Anyway but the new avengers lost that and i. That's part of the reason that i i would never think of the new of injuries. Is science fiction despite hitler coming back and you know it just it isn't it. Isn't they. pulled that aspect out of it and grounded it more. So i wouldn't have called the new. I wouldn't have gotten fantasy. I mean they're definitely fi elements in in new avengers. Remember i haven't seen it since the late seventies you know they.

That there are like some relatively specific hellraiser referenced. In the movie that i hadn't really even remembered worse specifically and the bricks and the bell is very razor so Which i don't want to every specific movie that inspired us but i think generally there's a lot of like sort of like a meat grinder of the specific types of sub genres that that we both like that sort of went into this and then like out. Came this this thing if you and well. What inspired the look of the movie. I mean it's very consciously looking back towards like the late seventies and early eighties work. That row back. She was doing and heavy metal for sure. One thousand nine hundred seventy metal was a really big influence on me as a young man and so trying to capture that very specific. That was a you know like we spent a lot of time trying to reverse engineer it so create a pipeline that would hopefully evoke when made that so magical back then and going back to. The story is over arching story. But it's kind of told anthology. What made you decide to go with that route with the story. I mean we talked a lot about. I mean to reference heavy metal again. Like as much as i love that film. It's by structure. It's sort of like this analogy but the through line is cool but does it really make any sense. And then if the annually now okay. I guess that was a theory doing so. I think we consciously thought. How do we tell an anthropology that sort of functions like heavy metal but actually where the framing device is actually like thematically and narrative tied into the individual times and chapters within the larger work..

When i really liked about then and it is a moment in the flashbacks where you get to see his humanity a little bit about playing that needed voicing that c. show important kind of round out the characters. Well i mean I try to ruin a route characters in reality or and i know from a background is not that if so i it's something i kinda grew up. Connect his relationship with. Bruce wayne is interesting talking about that especially as told in flashbacks. Kinda got off to a rough start. Some respect yeah. It was really cool. I like how it was written. Because he's been came off almost like you know a bad guy Intention under underneath that. And i think a real authentic kind of tone that was set or those movies back in the seventies and how life was back. It wasn't as politically correct as it is now and i applaud the writers or capturing so some things are we you see a little bit more Contemporary an point as a little rough around the edges. But it actually depicts. A pine were things were and the cover on Your your your phone and your parts. I thought that was very key is brow is high the to china. I remember extremely. Well look at it a lot differently. Now that i'm older and It was a very tough time in. Weren't that great. I always say there's a lot of days weren't so good. And and the seventies were at an example. We still had a long way to go. Oh yeah and speaking ago seventy what was it like to kind of lying that space. I know that in the booth you couldn't see all this stuff tax later music and the clothes and everything was an easy to get into that space at all yet for me absolutely Let's not forget.

I'm kind of offering around these one character. What i really liked of this movie and this team. I remember it very well of seventies and the fact that i mean. These heroes are not at their overlooked now. But they're just not into you guys do as much now but they're still very much a part of pop culture and speak to the fact that it sounds like a freshness about this moody at even set in the seventies it seeing. They were still extremely cool. Absolutely i think seventies were the coolest pines of history. I mean even if you saw a commercial that depicted something. Cool right it would have seventy news and something that second half seventies music. So we're wondering reasons. I love is i don. I just thought that seventies were best hind for for movies and music and style. And we're you know we're our country wasn't it was just such an amazing moment. People really found out who they were.

A New Direction
Culture Myths and a New Science of Culture Dr. David White - burst 04
"At the top. Okay david. Help me out here wool. You mean culture doesn't are you saying culture doesn't start at the top so the prevailing wisdom is that the leader says the culture right. This has been true. And it's the most complicated mantha one eyed about the most inc to Because it's the one that's most pervasive is most entrenched in our in our society and for good reason right. I go into a lot of his historical lot of it. Is this country. America founded on this sort of faith of the individual of pia rugged individualist myth right Quaker cavernous Protestant settlers from europe in england. Who came over in the seventeenth century. You know believed firmly in the in the power of the individual leader to make change happen. All that carried forward into our society today The problem is that there is almost zero evidence in anthropology and other related social sciences. That supports the idea. The leaders somehow set culture create culture cultures. Form perfectly well without leaders. Any group tasked with any any task though cultural form generally speaking of the former around the task. The the the thing that you're doing now i as i get into in the book. The this myth about leadership came became super prominent in the late seventies early eighties. Because corollary to that. I mean along What was going on that time. Is that Folks in the business schools were discovering researching that this idea that basically humans in organizations are unmotivated people. Basically don't need you know need to be directed and manipulated in cajole to work to get work. Done that idea which had been around. Since you started the twentieth century was debunked in the late late sixties early seventies mid seventy s by researchers at mit and other universities in the idea the new idea of management. Was that essentially. If you could unlock the human potential of the individual you know and let them flourish in organization. Great things will come. You don't need to sort of manipulating coercing control and direct people to do work because people actually need their creativity unleashed so that was the famous so-called theory of motivation of organizations talk. The douglas mcgregor stuff like three x three x theory. Why right was the was the whole idea. So theory why. When theory y became the de facto new way of thinking about management in organizations culture became the convenient vehicle to enable theory y so in other words if you just let if you just create the right culture in the organization good things will happen and that's the simplest way of saying the most most predominant Myth that has lived with us to this day. That if you just make make the right. Climate make the right environment. Good things will happen in the organization. A very compelling myth. It's very well intended and got a lot of. There's a lot of good to there's no question there is. it doesn't support it right so huge you list five problems with why this myth that culture starts at the top is an issue problem. You leaders of overestimate thrown influence problem. Too complex change is not happy through individual influence problem. Three for leaders beliefs take hold in the organization. They have to be there to begin with and four cultures not the summer personalities and problem five language alone does not change culture and your research the research that well not just your research with research. That's been done here in cognitive anthropology has kind of blown open this idea that you know as leaders. We probably don't have nearly as much influence as we think we do. When it comes to culture because culture is going to exist with the leader. That i am i in that well said Because i think i think i consult businesses to and every because we need to change your culture. You change you your culture your culture you. You didn't create it. It happened right. It's kind of an organic thing. Isn't it in reality. Well as i as. I write about the book. It culture is as we'd like to say culture follows task right. The common way of thinking about it is that castles culture might just set. The culture in the task will actually goes the other way around what you do. This is the cognitive science of culture in on the brain. What you do shape how you think and to some extent you know. We talked about this cognitive science and culture being kind of academic kind of newfangled but in some ways. It's incredibly intuitive. You know this is culture shapes how you think so.

Knoxville For a weekend with lectures and and i think i was just one of the speakers that was Was in attendance. But i think that's probably the first time we met. I don't know if you remember that. I i i remember that trip. Very very fondly So in fact. What now i remember. It had to been like two thousand and two two thousand three two dozen three because on one of the partying presence that the msa gave was my wife. And i were expecting our first our eldest daughter and so we were pregnant. And i think i mentioned that and it was like this. Beautiful little The volunteers onesie I remember that ryan for right. Yeah it's a great little parting gift at the. Msa gave me in so it had to been yet. It does not was like Maybe the year. After i i was president of the year after i graduated undergrad. That was still there in knoxville. But i definitely remember when you visited. I definitely remember that although our paths. Have i think across over the years in fact it was a mutual friend. An old friend of yours but again going back to the knoxville. Msa days iran. Kodi she who i want to mention his name on on air as as putting it sort of in touch in together and Iran is a listener of this show. We're honored to have folks. Like ron listening. So dan high school together. Actually wow saturday at high school. So yeah i guess Like i said we like to dive into kind of an origin story so tell us about You know growing up in tennessee of all places. That's really where your origin story begins. Yeah this manasseh so My parents were both immigrants. From egypt's that's where the story begins. That coming over in the late seventies mom Not too much later after that and he came for grad school and just has been his state ever since from egypt. Civil engineer And we moved around quite a bit. I was born in houston. Actually i think you're early. You're from houston right. I am. I was born in texas. Although it's spent most of my young life in in any in houston and Omar also overlapped in houston for a little bit on and was born in new orleans so help another southern boy. I actually the only sibling not born in texas. That's liar yeah. I still have relatives there. Actually in we moved around a bit new mexico. Pennsylvania eventually settled in knoxville with my dad's work. You know moving moving around So since the second grade. I grew up in east tennessee Near the smoky mountains in knoxville tennessee. The third largest city and it was really then that we became active with the local muslim community. I remember you know. I vaguely remember them like bill building their first mosque from scratch. You know i i. It was like a rented home. And then i remember like in the early eighties mid eighties when they were building. That first mosque purpose built mosque and sunday. School was really like where. I began to learn about my faith. And that's where everything began. I think like where. I where i really became know growing up in like a ninety percent white very evangelical out bipolar belts City in tennessee. Although is you know it's it's a university city But you know where where. I grew up in west knoxville. You know the the baptist and and people are often trying to convert you who you know. Sometimes you know you classmates.
Monocle 24: The Briefing
Russia moves to protect Putin from prosecution
"We start in russia. Where the duma has backed a bill which grants the country's rulers and their families immunity from criminal prosecution after they leave office and it has set tongues wagging about president putin's political future putin's allowed to stand for two more terms in office when his current stretch ends in twenty twenty four. But is there any need for him to do so if he can retire sooner without fear of prosecution or we're joined for more on this by the russia analyst and regular monocle twenty four contributor. Stephen deal welcome back to the briefing. Stephen always good to hear from you. Tell us it's funny if we if we look back. I don't know a quarter of a century almost now to the sort of an days a of yeltsin now was lots of talk about potential prosecutions and of course putin Gave him immunity as soon as he took over. Is that something Will be very much john on. Putin's mind as well right now. I'm sure his the yeltsin when he stepped down on the thirty first seven nine hundred ninety nine the one thing he'd been looking for in that second term since he's been president since the middle of ninety was someone who would guarantee him immunity from not only him in fact his his blood family and also his wider political family immunity from prosecution for the rest of their lives and the very first decree of then acting president vladimir putin on the last day of ninety thousand nine when he took over as acting president was to grant yeltsin and his coterie fact that immunity and on one thing. We're surprised that this hasn't been done before. But if you think back much closer to to where we are now this year of course we were talking about putin being being able to be president for the rest of his life because of course they changed the constitution earlier this year in russia and it means that the is white cane he can stand again for president in two thousand and twenty four and then if he wants to he can stand again in twenty thirty. They've overturned the previous idea. That president couldn't have more than two consecutive terms. But what this does. I think this is even more significant than and giving him that. Johnston president for life. It means that truly fall ill or something then. This means that he can. He can step down and not be prosecuted at the moment. The russian president compu- prosecuted while he's in office but until this is passed he can be prosecuted if he if he were down. Well it's really interesting statement. I guess it's sort of fun to speculate in a way. What appeals to vladimir putin most is it to just stay in office To sort of become superannuated president be there for decades as it will turn out or is he more concerned about protecting as you said his nearest and dearest and in the immediate coterie from from what we understand and we know about him. What do you think is most appealing to him. In the here and now is the consolidation. Is that endurance that longevity or do you think he'll be drawn to just melting away into the shadows. The shadows putin is someone who doesn't really have friends. He doesn't really trust anyone. That's his whole background as a street ladd in petersburg when he was growing up and even more so when he was kgb officer and so what he feels is that he he can never be sure he always reminded of sort of you know to broussais. And julius caesar and and that that to me is where putin stands that. He's always afraid that someone were to step down. Someone might change things and then drawing prosecute him and there's a number of things that they might want to prosecute for most not be now if we thinking well it's got to be after he's president. What does the state of the russian economy at rome. It's pretty awful. There are some very few at the top who are just unbelievably wealthy. Russia has nine thousand nine billionaires in the country at a time when thirty eight percents of the country at least according to official fingers are living below the poverty line. Russia is still very much dependent on oil and gas. And it's very interesting today. We have the news. That britain is saying no more petrol cars with diesel cars from twenty thirty. You know the world is going away from those fossil fuels and russia's not really doing anything about it and rushing. Business is is is not in a good position and so you know you could say one of his worst legs could be the state of the economy if you want to choose to step down but if this is passed in the duma has has given it its nods so far it has to go to the federation council. The house and then ironically putin himself would have to sign it off which. I have no doubt he would do. I mean i just wonder what do Russian pro democracy activists Putin's opponents have to say about the sorts of moves. Stephen because presumably there would be appetite in certain limited quarters to say look. We can't have a situation where people are protected in perpetuity from their alleged misdeeds. Particularly if it's a question of. I don't know following the money this sort of thing. Do you think that there will be a a counter. Lobby is ernie president to being able to sell it. We can review these These rulings down down the track or is that just a nonstarter. Right now is a non-starter. The doom is heavily stacked with putin supporters. Then indeed the federation council houses to. There's being talk over the is of of election. Rigging putin generally has a lot of popular support out in the country not so much in moscow some of the other big cities but those who are in power now would definitely know passes laura have no doubt it will become more and because what putin were he say to foil in five years time and so having been reelected in twenty four finally can't carry on steps down if this law is not in place then what frightens him is the idea. Is that in fact with. He's the hub of the wheel and he's taken out. Then we'll spokes collapse will then a real opposition which does exist. but it's very small and sat on very hard when it raises his voice. That actually stopped means something in which case could be a threat of prosecution. So he's he's trying to cover every base. I think it's very interesting that this is come on top of the idea that he could serve the rest of his life. This gives him the get out. I'm not well or on board. I want to step down. But i can still be secure. Won't be prosecuted prompts. The question stephen wh what does any eventual succession. Like i appreciate this. Very very speculative and it could be twenty four. It could be twenty thirty indeed but do we have any better sense of what putin's own Mission is you know he. He wouldn't want to melt into the shadows of you as you suggested but is there any hints of sort of you know a dynastic succession or do you think he's more interested in in the here and now i wonder if we can speculate even about what happens after he takes his hand from the tiller right now to be honest tom. I wouldn't want to name a name. Because i have no doubt that he will stand again. Twenty twenty four. So we're looking ten years since two twenty thirty two elections after that and because he can't stand again if he's still in good health and he's generally a fit man he's you know he's still does his judo and he's sixty eight years old now. But as we've seen in america being in your late seventies doesn't preclude you from standing for president so if he carries on fit. Well no reason why in twenty thirty he wouldn't stand again so you know. There's a whole generation of politicians would come up behind him. Then they may be the ones that maybe twenty thirty six fact we may be looking at three. Fold as a israel change. I'm if there is a change. Before that i can't really see it happening if health matters. Don't intervene before two thousand thirty so really as standing where we are now looking ahead. Ten years that famous phrase in brisbane week is a long time in politics. Ten years off it on.
The 3:59
Space has a trash problem -- and its getting worse
"With me. Is johnson skillings. One of our copy cheese and the of our latest package on satellites titled signals from earth. Welcome john hey roger so we sometimes take for granted. Space has well allow space. But there's actually a huge amount of trash orbiting earth and that's the subject of the first story in a series way exactly is floating up there a lot and stuff. I mean we think about space is being infinite and it is but then there's our neighborhood right around earth And there are several layers orbit and everything not everything from the beginning the space age but a lot of stuff from the sixties and seventies eighties is still up there and we're talking about rockets satellites and big things like the international space station and then little tiny pieces that have broken off from all those things and so how big of a problem is this. The the sheer amount of stuff. That's up there. Yeah it's it's really big because it's all just spinning around eight skates controlled release trapped by different space agencies by not we do dubai right now and things are going to bump into each other and that could be bad yet. Tell me a little bit about that. Why why is it bad thing as it. Just the potential damage. I mean how big of a problem is it for these existing satellites. Give me a sense of actually. How many lives are up there right now. Year right now. There are a roughly twenty eight hundred live satellites and perhaps three times that many defunct satellites still floating around and not a lot of human traffic there right now going in and out of the space station and for the people for too long there might be some space tourists going out there. So you know. There are people who get into trouble but also a lot of machinery and they're more more salads coming up all the time if there's a sense of how may more we expect. 'cause feels like we're say launching new satellites will explore on your services running off these satellites. What what exactly is sort of the the expected volume of satellites over the coming years. It's a lot. It's hard to put a number to it. You have more and more countries all the time starting own space agencies or saying rockets up then you have commercial space traffic which is not done by the likes of nasa the european space agency. You have private. Companies like yuan musk's space x Jeff bezos and amazon. And all his money going into Rocket projects on its own in space x in particular. They have a new system called starling which is going to provide broadband service to the earth. Eighteen beta right. Now there are about six hundred or so satellites And they're going to be a lot more i mean. Musk has filed paperwork to send up as many as forty thousand of these Satellites are not not be car sized space station size but you know a chunk of metal floating around of their forty thousand is eight a huge number no matter how big or little that satellite is reading this piece and this is by jackson ryan one of our colleagues out of australia. Who is fantastic. These worth reading if the another chance. He talked to nasa researcher. At least cited a nasa researcher who fled the doomsday scenario. Tell me about that right. The researcher is donald kessler in the work. He did start in the late seventies. It's called kessler syndrome named after him in the basic idea. Is that the more satellites or anything else who have floating around in space. The greater the chance of a collision more collisions. You have you're going to get debris more debris brief floating around the maurice floating around and we're chance collisions and you get into this cycle of more and more trash spinning around and just really out of control. So what's being done about this problem. A lot of worrying a lot of thinking about how to handle it but there aren't really a lot a good solution to right now. So some satellites and rockets sly back in earth's orbit they burn up and you know some that can be directed on purpose. Some satellite skid spun into a higher higher orbits andrew out of the way By the are no good systems for dragging satellites space. Picking can't send trash trucks since tweet street. Sweepers around growling. They've been some experiments With things like Basically a big fishing net to grab satellites And even space harpoon to grab him but again you have to be careful because you don't want to fragment you one nice big clean satellite and make it into a bunch of little tiny satellite pieces. That just adds to the problem.

Coke Cans Tab, to the Dismay of Host David Brown
"Wondering I'm David Brown, this is business wars daily on this Wednesday October. Twenty eight. And this time it's personal. You guys know me I'm a pretty upbeat guy but the news from Coca Cola earlier this month while I just have to admit twenty twenty keeps throwing those punches. Decades after TAB became America's most popular diet drink coke is killing it. Loan fact I am one of the drinks maybe last remaining diehard fans there just aren't enough of US though which is why coke and its desire for efficiency and growth. Has, made a sad decision. To Stop. MAKING IT TURNS OUT TAB accounts for only point one percent of all diet soda sold in the World Right. Now despite my purchases that's according to research firm Euromonitor. But Oh Of that point one percent, it was a real relationship tab was invented in nineteen, sixty three the Diet Cola sweetened with Saccharin and targeted to women and Cokes I Diet Soda. It took off in the late seventies with ads like this one equating drinking tab with, of course, being thin and sexy one apocryphal story goes at the name Tab keeping tabs on your ways. Car. There was just nothing else like this snap of that can. Up around Atlanta. My parents always knew what time I got home from a night out because as quiet as I would be sneaking into the house. was just too impatient for Swig that tab to cover my noise popping open tab became. So iconic that Mardi nick fly played by Michael J. Fox attempted to order one at a nineteen fifties drugstore in the hit movie back to the future. It didn't go well. Sixteen Forty rivers you're gonNA artist, something kid. GimMe Gimme. Tab can't give you a tablet she orders. Right Comedian Pepsi free. You WanNA PEPSI POWDER YOU'RE GONNA pay for it. Looks can be something without any sugarman pay Mardi Good Luck finding that tab in the future coke launched diet coke in nineteen eighty, two tabs started its long slow decline today is only one of hundreds of products that coke is retiring. It's cutting its line of five hundred brands by half the company says it was streamlining before the pandemic. But when the pandemic hit and supply chain issues became more complex, they sped up their plans to focus on big sellers like diet, coke and coke zero. In addition to canning tab coke already bid goodbye to underperforming brand. Douala. Juices it's winding down its Zico coconut water operations as well but it's the loss of tab that hurts to the bone Coca Cola kept it alive only because some of US love it so much people like yours truly wrote letters made phone calls and signed petitions to keep tab coming and the company complied until now as far back as two thousand, one, The Wall Street Journal reported that coke all but ignored it. The company hadn't spent any money to market it since the early nineties, the paper reported for decades it's only been available here and there depending upon which bottlers decided to make and sell it. On even distribution led to thousands of tab fans going to great lengths to get our favorites soda. The Journal tells the story of Katie Tram Oh memphis resident who when traveling would routinely pick up cases of TAB, in Mississippi and Alabama for herself and other tab lovers back home, and then there's the anger. The decision is turning some Tabah Alex away from the company altogether and toward coca-cola's most famous rival, you know the one. On facebook to such devotees valid to switch to Pepsi as a matter of principle, I bought tabs for over forty years and nobody checked with me about this decision one wrote. Already TAB is showing up on Ebay at wapping prices. A new twelve pack is listed for one hundred, fifty five. Me Well, there are enough digits in an ebay price counter justify parting with my precious last ten cases of the eighty six I purchased in Vicksburg Mississippi and truck back to Austin in late August. With all that's going on in the world I. Know It's a bit hard to empathize but picture this a ban on coffee with no way around it. That's why TAB drinkers mourn its passing TAB has been my breakfast dessert lunch comfort food. Yes. I know life will go on Brown. But maybe. A little. Less sparkle.
Startup Showcase with Scott Kitun
Congress releases scathing report on Boeing 737 Max
"Words, deception and basically disturbing both words used In a scathing report from Congress on their investigation into the Boeing 7 37 max development. It's re sort of its certification and maybe even it's re certification and about its relationship with the FAA. Pretty damning stuff. Right, John? By far the report that came out of the House Transportation Infrastructure Committee. Really highlights of very really damning picture of how Boeing and the FAA went about certifying the 7, 37, Max and All the missed opportunities to alter course and I think that you know, really spells, you know? Ultimately, a process breakdown about how this whole thing proceeded seemingly normally. But again going back in retrospect and looking at all these different opportunities to change course on DH account for this. The design of the 7 37 different way really is you see that over and over and over again in the house ended up collecting over it's over teaching of investigation. And it's my It's my guess that some people might actually go to prison on this because the actual behavior in my estimation was criminal. You know when you talk about criminal negligence It's written all over this, but it goes back to the basic relationship that the Federal Aviation Administration has with both manufacturers and with airlines. Two areas. They're supposed to regulate their not their clients. They're not. They're partners. I remember John being an immediate United Airlines. You may have even been there that day. I think you were When one of the operation guys, you know that stood up and said, You know, we are going to get the plane recertified. We're working with our partners at the FAA. And I stood up immediately and raised my hand and said, Excuse me. Did you just defined the Federal Aviation Administration as your partner? Isn't that the root problem here? And, uh, I didn't get a good answer. Because if you go back to the history of the FAA, we're talking decades. The people that actually certify any airplane, whether it's Boeing or in the old days, McDonnell Douglas or Lockheed or Convair. The people who certify that plane is airworthy. Or actually, on the payroll of the manufacturer. They're called FAA designated inspectors. Now, if that doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does The amazing thing is that that discussion is not new mean you like you just said that this this goes back decades. I mean, when when you hung it at you know what happened when the MacDonald does. DC 10 was ground back in the late seventies. There was all this discussion around delegated authority and how and how they're not. The FAA was able to act as an adequate regulator of Of those they were tasked with regulating And by the way, and by the way, John in that particular case, I know it so well. American Airlines maintenance guys figure out they could save four hours per engine change in maintenance by violating the maintenance manual and using a forklift truck instead of doing it with with pulleys and levers. Which violated the maintenance man, and they actually want told the FAA. They're gonna violate it. And the FAA said Okay and in the plane that crashed American flight 1 91 in Chicago, which, by the way, still ranks As the worst aviation disaster in this country in history. Up on the plane in question they were putting on a new engine. They have to fasten it with special bolts, and they had two of the bolts in two of the four bolts in when the when the lunch whistle blew So they went to lunch, and during lunch, they forklift lost pressure. Which is the reason why McDonald Douglas didn't want him to use a forklift truck. It bet one of the bolts and broke the other, but they didn't know it came back and install the other two bolts. They flew the plane empty to Chicago on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, Back in 1979 and They took out a full load of passengers for Los Angeles. We know what happened next. So this we knew this. You know you're absolutely right. This this is this is or 40 years ago, just about Yeah, and you know, And when you look at the DC 10 I mean, I've spent a lot of time in the last two years looking at the history of it because it is so similar to the 7 37. You know a lot of the new Certainly the root causes were different around the maintenance. Of the engine and how it was attached the aircraft, But there are there were definitely issues around around looking at the same core issues as your craft manufactures, which is how do humans interact with their technology? And how do How did an aircraft respond to damage and it's never just one thing

Revenge, Best Served Loud
"With, arguably one of the greatest opening riffs and Classic Rock Barracuda was written by Anna Nancy Wilson together with Guitarist Roger Fisher and Drummer Michael Derosier. It was written at a time when there was friction between the band and their label to put things mildly. The song appears on the album little queen their first album with CBS. Portrait. Records. They'd left their old label mushroom records after a contract dispute and mushroom was none too happy. Because according to mushroom heart owed them a second album. They not only sued the band for breach of contract and try to block the release of the CBS album but released magazine an album made up of songs that Hart had recorded but didn't think we're good enough to release as well as some live recordings needed to get it up to album length. The dispute dragged on and eventually the court decided that heart was free to sign with a new label but mushroom was indeed a second album. So. Heart went back to the studio to rerecord remix edit and re sequence the magazine recordings in a marathon session over four days. A court ordered guard actually stood nearby to make sure the master tapes weren't being erased. Heart eventually came out on top. As not only did the album little queen outsell magazine by a wide margin. The debacle gave the band the distinction of having all three of their albums on the charts at the same time. The court case wasn't the only reason. The Wilson Sisters in company were mad at mushroom records. After the first album became a million seller mushroom took out a full page ad in rolling stone touting the band's success using the headline million to one shot sells a million. No problem so far. The AD looks like the front page of a tabloid newspaper and included a photo from the Dream Boat Anne album cover shoot. The caption read. Hearts Wilson Sisters confess it was only our first time. Implying the sisters had an incestuous lesbian affair. Shortly. After this ad appeared a Detroit radio promoter asked an Wilson where her was. She assumed he meant her then boyfriend band manager Michael Fisher. But when the reporter clarified, he was referring to her sister Nancy and was understandably outraged and retreated to her hotel room to write. When she related the incident to Nancy to was outraged and join an in the writing session, contributing a melody and bridge. Nancy puts suitably angry music to the word to complete the song comparing the sleazy side of the Music Biz to a dangerous ill like fish. The song became an enduring classic and Barracuda remains one of the band's signature songs. Vera Khuda was test to another incident of severe irritation for the Wilson Sisters at. Against in two thousand eight. During that year's presidential campaign the song was used as the unofficial theme song for Republican Vice President Nominee Sarah Palin. The ALASKAN governor had apparently earned the nickname, Sarah? Barracuda as a high school basketball player for her competitive nature. The day after the song was played at the National Convention Anna. Nancy Wilson issued a statement reading. The. Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song nor would they have been granted that permission? We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored. Their wishes were not honored. As the Republican campaign pointed out, they had obtained the proper performance rights to the song from the record label and were under no obligation to get any further permission to use it. The Bar for performance rights being somewhat lower than the bar for commercial or video rights. With no legal recourse. The Wilson Sisters retaliated in the media telling entertainment weekly. Sarah Palin views and values in no way represent us as American women. We. Ask that our Song Barracuda no longer be used to promote her image. The Song Barracuda was written in the late seventy s as a scathing rant against the soloist corporate nature of the music business particularly for women. While, heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song the RNC. There's irony Republican strategists choice to make use of it. They're. The. Songs Co writer Roger Fisher was also anti Palin but he saw things differently telling Reuters. He was thrilled that the song was being used as it was a win win situation. He explained that while heart gets publicity and royalties the Republicans benefit from the ingenious placement of a kick ass. Song. He added that he would use some of the proceeds in a donation to the Obama campaign and thus the Republicans are now supporting Obama. See Kids. There's always a silver lining if we look for it.
