More Amazing Christmas Details With Rick Renner
"We're talking to Rick renner, who are in an ER who has written a book called Christmas the rest of the story. And some of the stuff is so rich that it really is difficult to skip past I mean, one of the things you mentioned, and I want to come back to Egypt and all this stuff. But one of the things you mentioned, Rick in the book, which was astonishing to me. Is that Sephora was, what about four miles from Nazareth? Now, we got to think about this. That is very close. You can walk there for work and walk home to Nazareth. And it was a magnificent city. We never think Jesus grew up in a place near a magnificent city. We think he grew up in the backwater of Nazareth. He did, but it was so close to Sephora that there can be no question that he would have been familiar with that world, a metropolitan sophisticated world. And you know his grandparents lived there, Mary's parents lived in support us, and that's where Joseph worked. There was no work in Nazareth. Nobody worked in Nazareth. There was nothing to do there. What were you going to build? A Nazareth. I mean, all there was maybe 480 people in Nazareth. It was a sleeping community. They were 5 sleeper communities. What Nazareth was won. And they were all employed in Sephora. And so when Jesus came there to see his dad, where he came there to see Mary's parents, he saw the theater. Well, there was no theater in Jerusalem. He saw the rich people, he saw the banking system. He saw those that were what the Bible calls sumptuously addressed. He became affiliated with the beggars that were laying outside the rich people's homes. The lavish lavish vineyards around the area, palaces and vineyards, and all of that was a part of the training that Jesus received so that when he began his ministry, Jesus was able to speak to the educated and the uneducated.

"Here's what President Biden was doing during Trump's 2024 speech. By Chad de Guzman. As Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in 2024 at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida Tuesday evening, president Joe Biden was in a makeshift war room in Indonesia, addressing a potential global crisis, offering a split screen of the two leaders. Trump had previously lambasted both the G 7 and NATO, questioning the group's value during his term in office. During his campaign announcement in Florida, however, he said of the G 20, I used to love that. The leaders I used to make deals for our country like you would not believe. But in reality, observers have said Trump's foreign policy approach as president left the United States more isolated and a less reliable international partner. Biden pledged in his 2020 campaign to reassert America's leadership in the global arena. Just before the former president took the stage in Florida to launch his 2024 bid, Biden convened an emergency meeting at his hotel with other leaders of the G 7 and NATO member states on the sidelines of the G 20 summit in Bali, after reports of an explosion on Poland's eastern side near the Ukraine border, killed two of its citizens. The Polish foreign ministry initially said the blast came from a Russian made missile. Russia's defense ministry denied involvement. According to NATO's article 5, an attack on one member, such as Poland, is considered an attack on all the members, and may trigger a collective response. Early Wednesday morning in Bali, Biden called Polish president Andre duda to express his deep condolences for the deaths and pressure with less than four miles from the border with Ukraine. After discussing with G 7 and NATO leaders, Biden promised full support for Poland's investigation into the explosion, saying there was total unanimity among folks at the table. A joint statement from the two groups condemned the attacks.

"Sherry Joe Bates. October 30th, the night before Halloween has long been referred to as devil's night. On that night, every year across the country. There are instances of vandalism, pranks, usually it's a result of teenagers, misbehaving, and in most cases, trees filled with toilet paper, may be the extent of the mischief. Sometimes, however, the crimes committed on October 30th go far beyond harmless fun. Such was the case for 18 year old cherry Joe Bates. Whose brutal murder shocked her hometown of riverside California and it remains unsolved to this day. The city of riverside is an hour west of Los Angeles. In 1966, many of riversides residents were transplants, who came to work at riverside area military bases. Such was the case for the Bates family, who moved from Omaha, Nebraska in 1957. Joseph Bates, the patriarch of the family, found work as a machinist at the Corona naval ordnance lab. His wife, Irene, was a homemaker, and rounding out the Bates family with son Michael, and daughter sherry Joe. During the 19 60s, Irene bay began to struggle with her mental health and had to be committed to a mental hospital as a result, Joseph and Irene's marriage suffered and they eventually divorced in 1965. Michael graduated from Ramona high school and joined the navy. Sherri Joe and her father, Joseph, found themselves alone. In their suddenly quiet home, located at four one 9 5 via San Jose in riverside. Sherri Jo was a popular and outgoing student with lots of Friends at Ramona high school. She was a cheerleader who dated one of the school star football players, the young couple even made plans to merit. Following graduation in 1966, sherry Jo immediately enrolled at riverside city college less than four miles away from her home, with her fiance Dewey at college in Northern California. Sherry Jo applied herself to her studies, and she took a part time job at a local bank. She had hopes of becoming a flight attendant. On Sunday, October 30th, while Joseph Bates was out. Sherri Joe left her home headed for the riverside city college library to check out some books and study. She scrawled her dad a quick note. The red dad went to the RCC library and left it for him in case he arrived home and wondered where she was. Along the way, one of her friends passed her on the road. Sherri Joe was hard to miss, and her lime green, VW buck. It was about 6 10 p.m. when the friend saw sherry Joe. A few minutes later, at about 6 15 p.m.. She pulled into the RCC library parking lot. According to one witness who later came forward, she was followed closely by a late model bronze oldsmobile. Sherry Joe parked and went into the library. Although some people that knew her would later say that they didn't recall seeing her in the library, at least one witness that knew her, confirmed, she was in the library. And he detailed how she was writing in a blue spiral notebook. Exactly what happened after sherri Joe walked into the library, remains unclear to this day. Police believe that sherry Jo left the library at 9 p.m. when it closed. Back at home, sheri's dead arrived home and found sherry's note. He went to bad expecting sherry Joe would be home later that evening. But she never made it home. At 6 30 the next morning on Halloween, an RCC groundskeeper traveling along terracing a drive next to the library, found sherry's lifeless body face down in a gravel alleyway and raced to call for help. Police arrived and found a grisly crime scene. Sherry Joe had been brutally stabbed and slashed with a knife. One slash wound to her throat was so severe that she was almost decapitated. Some possibly important clues were found at the scene. A man's paint splattered timex wristwatch size 7 was discovered. Police believe that sherry Joe had yanked it from her killer's wrist during the attack. They also found a single blood clotted hair in her hand, possibly from the killer. The investigation into sherri Joe's murder was extensive, and police started with an examination of her car. Please found the books. She had checked out on the front seat, indicating that she had made it back to her car after leaving the library. When they opened the hood, they discovered that someone had tampered with the ignition and coil wire making it impossible for the VW bug to start. When sherry Joe went to start her car up, it wouldn't start. It's believed that at that moment, the person who tampered with the VW approached her, offering her assistance. She apparently accepted the offer of help, not wanting to be stranded after dark at the library. Rather than hold back this detail about the disabling of sherry Joe's car, please chose to share it with the press. Police arrange to do a recreation of the night of the murder and painstakingly rounded up every single person known to have been in the library. The night cherry Jew was killed. They had them wear the same clothes, park the same cars they drove in the same spot they had been parked in, and sit in the same seats in the library. Police accounted for everyone who was at the library of the night of the murder, with the exception of two people. Missing from their recreation were a heavy set young man with a beard, who was about 5 foot 11, and a young woman. It's not clear if the young woman missing from the recreation was sherry Joe. But police hoped to ID the bearded man. They never did. Also missing from the reenactment was astute baker with oxidized paint that was seen parked on riverside avenue. It too, as well as its driver were never identified. Please talk with one witness who lived close to the library. The witness told them that sometime around ten 30 p.m. on the night of the murder, they heard a terrible scream in the alleyway where sherri Joe's body was found. A few moments later, they heard what sounded like an old car. Start up and drive off. Another witness came forward with an interesting account. They said that shortly before the library closed, they had walked down the same alleyway. In the darkness between two abandoned homes, they saw a man smoking a cigarette. The embers were clear. But unfortunately, the light from the cigarette didn't illuminate the man's face. Clearly enough for them to give a description. Cigarette bots were found. That exact spot and collected into evidence. Despite all of the riverside police department's best efforts, the investigation in the Sergio's murder seemed to grind to a halt. They were at a loss trying to ID anyone that would want the pretty and popular 18 year old dead. Then a month after Sergio was murdered. Two nearly identical type letters were anonymously male. To the riverside press enterprise newspaper, and to the riverside police department. In the letter, which has been dubbed the confession letter, the senator claimed responsibility for sherry Joe's murder, and provided chilling details. The letter read as follows. She was young and beautiful, but now she is battered and dead. She is not the first and she will not be the last. I lay awake nights thinking about my next victim. Maybe she will be the beautiful blond, the baby sits near the little store and walks down the dark alley each evening about 7, or maybe she'll be the shape we blue eyed brunette that said no when I asked for a date in high school, but maybe it will not be either, but I shall cut off her female parts and deposit them for the whole city to see, so don't make it easy for me. Keep your sister's daughters and wives off the streets and alleys. Miss Bates was stupid. She went to the slaughter like a lamb. She did not put up a struggle, but I did. It was a ball. I first pulled the middle wire from the distributor, then I waited for her in the library and followed her out after about two minutes. The battery must have been about dead by then. I then offered to help. She was then very willing to talk with me. I told her that my car was down the street, and that I would give her a lift home. When we were away from the library walking, I said it was about time. She asked me about time for what. I said it was about time for her to die. I grabbed her around the neck with my hand over her mouth and my other hand with a small knife at her throat. She went very willingly. Her brass felt very warm and firm under my hands, but only one thing was on my mind, making her pay for the brush office she had given me during the years prior. She died hard, she squirmed and shook as I choked her, and her lips switched. She let out a scream once and I kicked her head to shut her up. I plunged the knife into her and it broke, I then finished the job by cutting her throat. I am not sick. I am insane, but that will not stop the game. This letter should be published for all to read it. It just might save that girl in the alley, but that is up to you. It will be on your conscience, not mine. Yes, I did make that a call to you also. It was just a warning, beware. I'm

"Four one four volume 18. It's May 1987, and I'm on the Australian FAA number two operational conversion unit at RAAF williamtown, starting the final phase on course one of 87 before moving on to number 77 squadron, which was to be my home for the next few years. The art of air to ground attack is to throw things at the earth and not miss. Newton wasn't a bomber pilot, but amazingly he'd already worked out that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly to the product of the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them. As far as a bomb upon it is concerned, this means that it would be very unlikely that when you drop something, you would miss clobbering mother earth. Somewhere, at least. This is why, of course, the air to ground phase only consisted of 16 trips, after all. How hard could it be? The answer was, in something as sophisticated as the FAA, not very. However, for my first attempt, I had to prove that I understood the basic physics of bomb dropping by trying to hit the target in a reversionary mode. That is, without the ballistic computers, helping. A bit like Luke Skywalker, bullseye womp rats in beggars canyon with his G 16 back home. He apparently had boasted of a missed distance of less than two meters. So with bob ambler in the back seat insisting that I use the force and switch off my targeting computer, I pickled off my one and only completely manual bomb. The theory was good. At the corrective angle, with an accurate speed, the appropriate wind allowance and a steady hand. If the bomb was released at a perfect height above the target, the ballistics should carry it in a perfect arc down to hit it. However, for every knot every degree, every foot of error, the bomb would follow a different path. In my case, to somewhere so painfully short at the target at the bombing ranges triangulating equipment was unable to locate it. Unplayable at 6 o'clock, came the score from the range safety officer. That never seemed to happen to Skywalker. Luckily for me, I was allowed to turn everything back on for the remainder of my time in the hornet, so never had to admit that the profusion of one rats that plagued tattooing was partially down to my ineptitude. We were going around and round in circles over the local air to ground range, called salt ash, that was adjacent to the base, less than four miles away. The weapons we were dropping were little practice bombs called if my memory serves 33. They only weighed 25 pounds by 11 KGs, but would more or less follow the same trajectory as their larger cousins, the live munitions, such as the marquee to 500 pound and Mark 84 2000 pound weapons in the Australian inventory at the time. In the nose cone of the little practice bomb was a spotting charge. That showed as a bright flash and a white cloud of smoke when they hit Terra firma. In the hornet, they were generally three ways of aiming bombs. Not including the force. The first was to use the continually computed impact point displayed in the head up display by a line dangling down from the flight path vector with a cross at the bottom. There's the name suggests, the cross continually indicates where your bomb will land if you release it at that very moment. The technique was to try and guide the target into your heart with it tracking down the line. The moment the cross into sector with the target, you press the pickle button, and then shouted.

A Live Report From St. Petersburg, FL
"Here's Richard in saint Pete. Hey, Richard, are you leaving? Are you staying? No, I'm staying. I live about a mile north of downtown St. Petersburg and write down from downtown saint Pete to about four miles north. There is what I call a Florida mountain. I'm 55 feet above sea level. So if a lot of this is my house, we have problems. I'm just curious what zone are you in? We don't have to evacuate. What zone are you in? Is a big deal there's no zone. Well, yeah, there is a year everybody's in his own. I mean, Florida breaks out. Well, they know vaccination zone. We don't have too high but sea level. I see interesting. I got you. Okay, well, that's fascinating. Well, my app is a big is a big circle, just north of downtown. Elevated that's when my House is a hundred years old. I got it. So it survived for a while. Well, good deal. The house was a built there. I got you. I'm a former coast guard officer. And I work in the marine industry. The port closed yesterday afternoon. So supplies like we have gasoline tankers come in almost every day. There's got to be no gasoline coming in for a while. Well, you know what's fascinating too, and you know this area as well, because I live there as well, Richard, those huge that's that big coast guard cutter right there in the Marina. And I read somewhere last night that they take those ships and those boats and they take them, do they put them out to sea in the middle of the storm? Yeah, safer to see the ship than ride safe for a seat. If you're a port, you're at the mercy of storm surges. Wouldn't that be something?

Americans Struggle Through Biden Inflation
"Maybe this is your Monday. I carries you to have a good week. How do you have a good week? Positive thinking. What is positive thinking is not just running your mouth is believing what you say. That's positive thinking. If you say I am going to have a great week, you feel that your week is going to be great. You anticipate a great week or a weekend. You will see that come to fruition. The article says, a lady named star Parker says when will low income Americans stop looking to the government, new pole data from Gallup shows Americans are not having an easy time through this period of raising prices. A rising prices, I'm sorry. According to Gallup, 56% of Americans say now that rising prices are causing severe or moderate hardship. Drilling down, we see that the hardship is not shared equally. Amongst low income households, those with incomes less than $48,000 a year, 74% report that they are experiencing hardship amongst middle class households with income of 48,000 to 40 9000 a year, 63% report hardship and amongst the upper income 90,000 and above, only 40% report experiencing hardships. So clearly we can see that the poor you are the harder your life is going to be. When I say poor, the less money you make. I don't say poorer. Because poor is a mentality. And also poor is a priority. Some people got $48,000. There's plenty of money. You know, and to be honest, if think about it like this, this one says household income. Well, I'm assuming that only one person working if y'all making 48,000 a year. If two people working and you making 48,000 a year, I don't y'all must be doing law and work under the table because I don't know what job will pay you less than I don't even know what the hourly rate would be to make $20,000 a year. I mean, I guess those jobs are out there. However, if you find yourself in a predicament, you better not be having kids. You better wait. And so you have enough money because then you're going to go to poverty. Because $48,000 could probably take care of us from growing people. And you ain't got to go to a steakhouse and you ain't got to get a TV. You don't even need a TV. Go buy some books and read. You don't need a car, get a public transportation, get you a bicycle. Even in the winter time, it's a guy in my church. Now I know everybody ain't built like this, but it was a guy at my church. He used to walk four miles each way to work. In the snow, they were in like Colorado somewhere. He saw four miles to work every day and then while four miles home. And did complain one time. How much 10,000 hour get you at? Oh, 20 grand, you'll be $10 an hour. I don't even, yeah, yeah. That would be interesting. So $10 an hour would get you what 20,000 a year for 40 hour a week work week. So two people making $10 an hour would get you around 40,000 a year. And I don't even know a job to pay you $10 an hour. And to be honest, listen, let me say this. And then I'm going to get on to my point. But I think people need to not be as entitled. Because if you are making $10 an hour, you need to stay with other people who are also making money that's around your range. If four of y'all get an apartment, three of y'all get an apartment, you go move in with your mama and them, you go move in with some family members, you will fare better. You know, right across the street from my grandma's house, there was a Hispanic family that moved in there. And I swear there was like 15 of them in the living in one house. And like ten of them were adults. And I don't know how they did it because their house was probably 600 ft². But then before you know it, now they got the house next door and then they split it up because what I was told that they did what I was told that they did was they live in a house and they stack money and then they bought another house in their family. They've been in the house and they continue to keep our houses until all the family can move out and have a relatively equal space to live and they partnered on it initially to grow their family wealth enough to purchase houses and live a better life. If you looking for somebody who will hold you tight who will walk you to your doorstep each and every night this is the officer Tatum show. And afraid to tell it like it is.
Stuff You Should Know
"less than four miles" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"Better than that raw meat we've been eating. This charred meat is delicious. And let's try and do more of this around here. Yeah. And so that would have just them being responding to a taste preference. And that's it. But it just so happened that that taste preference would have had a really big benefit in a big contribution to the development of intelligence because if you cook meat, you unlock a bunch of nutrients and calories that are otherwise unavailable to you if you just eat it raw. So over time, the people who ate meat would have had more energy and more calories to contribute to a growing brain, which could have helped the process along, if not sped it up. And if you consider the fact that we've definitely seen that taste and smell, has responded to evolutionary pressures in that we at some point learn not to eat poop and we learn not to eat rotten food and stuff. And that's taste and smell. It can have the, it looks like it can have the opposite effect too, where all of a sudden you have a preference for the good, and that just happens to work out in your favor. Yeah, and this is another example of one thing leading to another where like, you know, mothers developed an awareness of landmarks and wayfinding and then that led to being able to follow game which expanded our diet, which led to us eating meat, which eventually led to applying controlled fire to that meat, which led to more calories and nutrients available, which led to bigger brain growth, which helped found the growth of intelligence in humans. Just one thing, one totally random, unconnected thing, or even connected, but seemingly unconnected, just creating us today. It's just so nuts, so to me, I love it. Yeah, me too. And the fact that, like, think about this, not only the preference for a charred meat, but the preference for a specific charred meat because, you know, different stuff tastes different. It's not like everything tastes like chicken. I know that's the joke, but all of a sudden took took us out there. And says, boy, that one thing that we killed yesterday, you guys. I don't know about you, but that was really, really delicious. And we know that that is, we saw that thing three days ago, about 50 miles away. Everyone said, what's a mile? And he went, well, that doesn't matter right now, but the point that was really far away. So all of a sudden, other things you're introduced, like cooperation, not just wayfinding, but hey, let's all get together because this is like a three day journey. And this thing is really big that tastes so delicious. So it's going to take a few of us to bring this thing down. And to process this animal and get this meat ready for cooking. So it just introduces a cascade. And it could have all just come from, hey, that taste really great. Yeah. And so all the hunting and coordinating all that takes like a lot of intelligence. And not only does it take intelligence to coordinate, it takes intelligence to explain what you're talking about. And it takes intelligence to come up with that plan in the first place, you know? So all of those factors combining are just making humans more and more intelligent with every step. And again, it's not like it's just following this perfect linear progression. It's just kind of randomly and the reason that we're intelligent today is because the attempts that didn't work out got selected out. The fat got trimmed along the way. Is it kind of a ruthless way to put it, but you know, it makes sense. And that sort of ties into this other theory of smaller prey. Like when they were hunting large prey species that eventually they were hunting in track of these large animals and eventually they were driven to extinction. So humans had to start going after smaller things. Or I guess hominems had to start going after smaller things. And the fossil record indicates this, it sort of worked in lockstep with the evolution of human intelligence. So all of a sudden, if you're hunting smaller things, you probably have to be a little bit smarter. You have to be a little bit more coordinated. You have to cooperate a little more. You have to maybe invent new tools and obviously using a big thing to smash a large thing isn't the same thing as smashing a small thing. And just simply the fact that they had to do a lot more of it, you know, if you're eating a squirrel as your diet, you're eating a lot of squirrel every day, whereas if you eat a woolly mammoth, that's your food for the month or whatever. Exactly. And that's a really good example of what I was talking about earlier that cognitive niche where the more sophisticated we get, the more problems we actually generate for ourselves, the more challenges the more intelligent we have to become. That's right. And what about this last notion? And then I think this is kind of where it all comes together, right? Yeah, so we have like a real urge in a desire to wrap everything up in a neat little package. And we just haven't reached that point yet with human intelligence. But if you step back and look at some of the theories and see how they all kind of fit together, it seems like most are all of them with the exception of stone date probably, could be right, but they all have to work together and work with one another. Which is great because that level of organization requires intelligence. That's right, but the key to all of this and I think we talked about the evolution of language on a whole show, right? I think so, yeah. We still don't quite know exactly how that evolved but we have some ideas like we talked about with mother and no. Mother is mother ease. But all of this became possible because of language. All of this, like you were saying, all of this coordination, all this cooperation, anything that would eventually lead to writing down human history. All of that had to have language. So it seems that all of these sort of theories coalescing around the beginnings of language and eventually the written word is like the key to it all. Yeah, totally. And one of the other things because we are so aware that we're intellectually superior, not only to all the other animals. At the very least we're intellectually different from the other smart ones. We tend to think of ourselves as the most intellectually evolved or the most successful humans ever. And that's absolutely not the case. I think homo erectus was around for one and a half million years, and modern humans have only been around for about 300,000 years. So we're definitely not necessarily the Pinnacle of evolution just in the amount of time and success we've had so far. But also, we have a tendency to think like we're the top and there's nothing coming. And that's not necessarily true either. Like if you look at that acceleration in technology, like some of our ancestors use the same tool for a million and a half years without innovating upon it. They just made that same tool over and over and over again. And then somebody came along who was born and figured out a way to make it better. And that kicked off more and more technology. And you can see it's picking up faster and faster, but the fact that evolution has jumped from the external world for us to our brains in turn to our culture. You can make a really good case that we're not necessarily going to physically evolve any longer. We're going to mentally evolve. So it's not certain what humanity is going to look like in the future, but it's probably going to happen the changes are going to happen a lot faster soon than they have been before. And we'll all just end up brains in jars, right? Probably. Or uploaded. That's right. Oh boy. Good luck with that, everybody. That had a very so long sucker to bring to it. You got anything else? I got nothing else. I love these types of episodes. It just good stuff. Me too. Since chuck and I agreed we'd love this episode. It's time for listener mail. So this is another Appalachian trail, probably the last one I'll read because Sophie here, AKA tough cookie. Nice. Which was Sophie's trail name is just a lovely human and we had a nice back and forth. Sophie and Sophie's sister did a no bow through hike in 2017. And just had some kind of fun things to point out. One of the general rules of trail names is someone else has to give it to you. So I think that's kind of like if you're a pilot in the military, you're like a maverick and goose, I think people think they name themselves cool names, but my brother in law was like, no, no, no, no. You get a name and it's usually not something super cool. Like maverick. Yeah, if you name yourself, I'm sure that people are going to be way harder on you in the name they actually select for you. Yeah, I don't even know if you're allowed to. I'm not sure. Sophie says that my sister and I cheated a little bit because we gave names to each other a few days in. I don't think that's cheating. You're still naming someone else. Sure, that's called getting ahead of the curve. We did have some unofficial trail names, though, that other people would refer to the pair of us as my favorite was a 60 year old Kentucky hiker from Maine who told us he referred to us as the Kentucky wonders. Which is pretty fun. And one thing I realized after reading all these AT emails is that it's really kind of fun, like people get together and they start off alone and all of a sudden there's a group of like 12 people hiking together for weeks at a time. That is the very reason why I will never hike the 18th. That sounds like a nightmare to me. You would be the loner hiker totally. They'd be like, don't turn your back on that one. I think your trail name might be Ted Bundy. The trail through West Virginia is actually less than four miles, and I heard this from other people too. Not 18. So I think we screwed that up. It's an amazing feeling to go through so quickly after psychologically after completing Virginia, which is 500 miles and a quarter of the entire trail. And there is a four state challenge that some hikers will attempt to do a 45 mile day to go through the end of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and into Pennsylvania in 24 hours. It's a lot. Her family hosts a trail magic spot because they live near the trail in Tennessee, so they will go out on the weekends. And they pack up a bunch of hiker food, and they grill burgers and stuff, or make pancakes and just feed people on the trail. Man, that is so nice. And then we'll go back home. I think you could be down with that part, right? Sure, I'd eat a free hamburger. Can I take it to go? I'd be like, what? I'd be like, why is there mustard on here, but not ketchup? And then finally, during the hike we would treat ourselves to podcasts for a couple hours when hiking was getting monotonous and wanted to get out of our heads some. And your voices were a frequent companion, listening to stuff you should know, selects these days, often had the weird sensation of remembering exactly where I was hiking in the Woods when I was listening to that episode in 2017. Come to Kentucky sometime. Check out the bourbon distilleries and the Red River gorge. And do a show here. Lexington, I know you'd probably rather go to Louisville or Cincinnati but Lexington is definitely worth a visit. And Sophie sing along a bunch of cool pictures of Sophie and her sister before and after and it's just looked like a really great time. That's awesome. Thanks a lot for that email. So if you that was a great one and agreed chuck that one had to be read for sure. Just stay away from Josh if you see him in the Woods. I know I'm harmless. I just don't want to be spoken to. That's all. I want to be left alone. It's too awkward otherwise. You could just hike with big giant like 1970s headphones as if you're listening to something.

Stuff You Should Know
"less than four miles" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"Better than that raw meat we've been eating. This charred meat is delicious. And let's try and do more of this around here. Yeah. And so that would have just them being responding to a taste preference. And that's it. But it just so happened that that taste preference would have had a really big benefit in a big contribution to the development of intelligence because if you cook meat, you unlock a bunch of nutrients and calories that are otherwise unavailable to you if you just eat it raw. So over time, the people who ate meat would have had more energy and more calories to contribute to a growing brain, which could have helped the process along, if not sped it up. And if you consider the fact that we've definitely seen that taste and smell, has responded to evolutionary pressures in that we at some point learn not to eat poop and we learn not to eat rotten food and stuff. And that's taste and smell. It can have the, it looks like it can have the opposite effect too, where all of a sudden you have a preference for the good, and that just happens to work out in your favor. Yeah, and this is another example of one thing leading to another where like, you know, mothers developed an awareness of landmarks and wayfinding and then that led to being able to follow game which expanded our diet, which led to us eating meat, which eventually led to applying controlled fire to that meat, which led to more calories and nutrients available, which led to bigger brain growth, which helped found the growth of intelligence in humans. Just one thing, one totally random, unconnected thing, or even connected, but seemingly unconnected, just creating us today. It's just so nuts, so to me, I love it. Yeah, me too. And the fact that, like, think about this, not only the preference for a charred meat, but the preference for a specific charred meat because, you know, different stuff tastes different. It's not like everything tastes like chicken. I know that's the joke, but all of a sudden took took us out there. And says, boy, that one thing that we killed yesterday, you guys. I don't know about you, but that was really, really delicious. And we know that that is, we saw that thing three days ago, about 50 miles away. Everyone said, what's a mile? And he went, well, that doesn't matter right now, but the point that was really far away. So all of a sudden, other things you're introduced, like cooperation, not just wayfinding, but hey, let's all get together because this is like a three day journey. And this thing is really big that tastes so delicious. So it's going to take a few of us to bring this thing down. And to process this animal and get this meat ready for cooking. So it just introduces a cascade. And it could have all just come from, hey, that taste really great. Yeah. And so all the hunting and coordinating all that takes like a lot of intelligence. And not only does it take intelligence to coordinate, it takes intelligence to explain what you're talking about. And it takes intelligence to come up with that plan in the first place, you know? So all of those factors combining are just making humans more and more intelligent with every step. And again, it's not like it's just following this perfect linear progression. It's just kind of randomly and the reason that we're intelligent today is because the attempts that didn't work out got selected out. The fat got trimmed along the way. Is it kind of a ruthless way to put it, but you know, it makes sense. And that sort of ties into this other theory of smaller prey. Like when they were hunting large prey species that eventually they were hunting in track of these large animals and eventually they were driven to extinction. So humans had to start going after smaller things. Or I guess hominems had to start going after smaller things. And the fossil record indicates this, it sort of worked in lockstep with the evolution of human intelligence. So all of a sudden, if you're hunting smaller things, you probably have to be a little bit smarter. You have to be a little bit more coordinated. You have to cooperate a little more. You have to maybe invent new tools and obviously using a big thing to smash a large thing isn't the same thing as smashing a small thing. And just simply the fact that they had to do a lot more of it, you know, if you're eating a squirrel as your diet, you're eating a lot of squirrel every day, whereas if you eat a woolly mammoth, that's your food for the month or whatever. Exactly. And that's a really good example of what I was talking about earlier that cognitive niche where the more sophisticated we get, the more problems we actually generate for ourselves, the more challenges the more intelligent we have to become. That's right. And what about this last notion? And then I think this is kind of where it all comes together, right? Yeah, so we have like a real urge in a desire to wrap everything up in a neat little package. And we just haven't reached that point yet with human intelligence. But if you step back and look at some of the theories and see how they all kind of fit together, it seems like most are all of them with the exception of stone date probably, could be right, but they all have to work together and work with one another. Which is great because that level of organization requires intelligence. That's right, but the key to all of this and I think we talked about the evolution of language on a whole show, right? I think so, yeah. We still don't quite know exactly how that evolved but we have some ideas like we talked about with mother and no. Mother is mother ease. But all of this became possible because of language. All of this, like you were saying, all of this coordination, all this cooperation, anything that would eventually lead to writing down human history. All of that had to have language. So it seems that all of these sort of theories coalescing around the beginnings of language and eventually the written word is like the key to it all. Yeah, totally. And one of the other things because we are so aware that we're intellectually superior, not only to all the other animals. At the very least we're intellectually different from the other smart ones. We tend to think of ourselves as the most intellectually evolved or the most successful humans ever. And that's absolutely not the case. I think homo erectus was around for one and a half million years, and modern humans have only been around for about 300,000 years. So we're definitely not necessarily the Pinnacle of evolution just in the amount of time and success we've had so far. But also, we have a tendency to think like we're the top and there's nothing coming. And that's not necessarily true either. Like if you look at that acceleration in technology, like some of our ancestors use the same tool for a million and a half years without innovating upon it. They just made that same tool over and over and over again. And then somebody came along who was born and figured out a way to make it better. And that kicked off more and more technology. And you can see it's picking up faster and faster, but the fact that evolution has jumped from the external world for us to our brains in turn to our culture. You can make a really good case that we're not necessarily going to physically evolve any longer. We're going to mentally evolve. So it's not certain what humanity is going to look like in the future, but it's probably going to happen the changes are going to happen a lot faster soon than they have been before. And we'll all just end up brains in jars, right? Probably. Or uploaded. That's right. Oh boy. Good luck with that, everybody. That had a very so long sucker to bring to it. You got anything else? I got nothing else. I love these types of episodes. It just good stuff. Me too. Since chuck and I agreed we'd love this episode. It's time for listener mail. So this is another Appalachian trail, probably the last one I'll read because Sophie here, AKA tough cookie. Nice. Which was Sophie's trail name is just a lovely human and we had a nice back and forth. Sophie and Sophie's sister did a no bow through hike in 2017. And just had some kind of fun things to point out. One of the general rules of trail names is someone else has to give it to you. So I think that's kind of like if you're a pilot in the military, you're like a maverick and goose, I think people think they name themselves cool names, but my brother in law was like, no, no, no, no. You get a name and it's usually not something super cool. Like maverick. Yeah, if you name yourself, I'm sure that people are going to be way harder on you in the name they actually select for you. Yeah, I don't even know if you're allowed to. I'm not sure. Sophie says that my sister and I cheated a little bit because we gave names to each other a few days in. I don't think that's cheating. You're still naming someone else. Sure, that's called getting ahead of the curve. We did have some unofficial trail names, though, that other people would refer to the pair of us as my favorite was a 60 year old Kentucky hiker from Maine who told us he referred to us as the Kentucky wonders. Which is pretty fun. And one thing I realized after reading all these AT emails is that it's really kind of fun, like people get together and they start off alone and all of a sudden there's a group of like 12 people hiking together for weeks at a time. That is the very reason why I will never hike the 18th. That sounds like a nightmare to me. You would be the loner hiker totally. They'd be like, don't turn your back on that one. I think your trail name might be Ted Bundy. The trail through West Virginia is actually less than four miles, and I heard this from other people too. Not 18. So I think we screwed that up. It's an amazing feeling to go through so quickly after psychologically after completing Virginia, which is 500 miles and a quarter of the entire trail. And there is a four state challenge that some hikers will attempt to do a 45 mile day to go through the end of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and into Pennsylvania in 24 hours. It's a lot. Her family hosts a trail magic spot because they live near the trail in Tennessee, so they will go out on the weekends. And they pack up a bunch of hiker food, and they grill burgers and stuff, or make pancakes and just feed people on the trail. Man, that is so nice. And then we'll go back home. I think you could be down with that part, right? Sure, I'd eat a free hamburger. Can I take it to go? I'd be like, what? I'd be like, why is there mustard on here, but not ketchup?

"COVID-19 infections rose in mid April of this year, Cambodia once again shot clothing factories, leaving thousands of workers without income. While she was unemployed, vary borrowed money from relatives to make her monthly $350 payments. She's back sewing at a factory in Phnom Penh, the capital, but earns less due to reduced orders, she says, and she's concerned she'll lose her home if she continues to default on her repayments. Last year, Cambodia is $7 billion garment sector, the country's largest employer with roughly 1 million mostly female workers was dealt a double blow by the pandemic and by European Union tariffs imposed over human rights abuses, by mid May of this year, an estimated 102 garment factories in Cambodia had permanently closed, said hang sook, Secretary of State of industry, science and innovation in an interview with local media. Nearly three quarters went bankrupt because of a lack of orders or suspensions he added. Lesotho's garment industry has also long been ravaged with problems. In May, time and the fuller project reported on vast sexual abuse and harassment taking place at hippo knitting, another Taiwanese company in Lesotho's capital. The factory predominantly supplied one brand fabletics a popular U.S. athletic apparel line cofounded by actor Kate Hudson, after a three month pause the brand resumed production in August while taking steps to improve workers rights. But roughly 600 workers are reportedly expected to be permanently laid off early next year. According to Sam okili, general secretary of the national clothing textile and allied workers union in Lesotho. When asked about a reduction in orders at hippo knitting that Ladakh said in an emailed statement that orders over the last few months have been greater than or equal to those placed last year, the factory owners declined to comment on looming job cuts. The workers are free of harassment, says one seamstress who asked to remain anonymous due to job security concerns, but we've already gone on Christmas break, and we don't know what's going to happen when we come back. Our jobs are hanging in the balance. Less than four miles away thousands of women from the Nin Singh factories already faced this stark reality. In a matter of months, the company's estimated 10,000 strong workforce dropped by more than half and lost over $50 million this past year, according to Lewis ri own, Nin sings former social responsibility director. He says that in addition to Wrangler and the children's place cutting orders by roughly 30% this year, rising transport costs, recent wage protests in Lesotho and fluctuating COVID inflection rates have all played roles in the company's decline. In an email statement, a spokesperson for the children's play said nyan Singh informed the retailer earlier this year that it was scaling back operations and that the terms of their relationship did not fit the Taiwanese companies new business model.

Running Injuries: When To Keep Running and When Take a Break
"This is just a hypothetical example. I'm out for a four mile. Easy run and my left. Knee starts to talk to me or my right heel hurts or my calf suddenly seizes up I haven't stepped into a pothole or otherwise. You know run into a dog or something like that like nothing that it's like clearly like oh i that's how i hurt myself. What do i do. should. I keep running. Do i stop running like if you're in my shoes or a listeners. In my shoes christy. What do you recommend okay. So sometimes that can be the sign of actual injury. Sure but sometimes it's just information in his just your body telling you like oh. Maybe you didn't drink enough water before you ran in. Your calf is cramping dehydrated so it. It's not always necessarily an injury. So what i usually say is if you can run through it in. It's it's not sharp stabby pain like you really feel like you're doing yourself and you keep going you can keep going You can always take a break and off break and just walk it out a little bit. Sometimes that'll be enough for it. Sometimes you start In you go back to trying to round and you're like nope that is not happening. Okay then you need to stop but if it's if it's more dull nature and is just kinda there. It's not really getting worse. Not really getting better. But it's not changing. You can usually run through them. Okay and what about. If i it's dullish but i'm maybe changing my gate or i'm slowing down quite a bit to baby or something like that. If i'm aware of that which i realized might be kind of a second level consciousness but do i need to stop then. Even if i feel like i could power through it Not necessarily if. I the slowing down part to me. That's not stressful. Because again it could just be a information that you're getting that day and you may be able to go out a few days later and maybe totally fine if you feel like you're if you're limping or you're really having to adjust how you're running then you need well. I shouldn't say you need to stop. You should stop. how about that. Yeah there are plenty of people that wouldn't in done that myself. Many times are paid for it. Big time down the road. So yeah i mean if you've got to change what you're doing in terms of like you're limping or basically lumping. Because i think if you have to slow down that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you can do an easy run and finish it off then okay. Maybe you really shouldn't be doing something faster right

The Chester A. Poling
"Today. I'm going to do something a little different for this installment of your next dive normally tried to take you to a dive destination where we talk about the trip from a number of different perspectives. The travel the lodging the dive operator. Oh yeah the diving. Now we've been around the world. But today i'm going to focus on one particular dive that is almost in our backyard. It is one of the most iconic dives here in new england and that is the wreck of the chester. Polling off gloucester mass. The chester polling was a coastal tanker. That sank in a brutal storm on january tenth. Nineteen seventy seven. The tanker had just left everett massachusetts and was bound for newington new hampshire. That information is pretty consistent in the research but there is other conflicting information about where she had been. And what cargo she delivered for example some documentation said she had previously delivered kerosene to new jersey while others indicated that the heating oil was delivered to everett mass. I would suspect that delivery to everett mass to be more likely always interesting when you Doing research to get this type of inconsistency now the chester polling was bill in nineteen thirty four at mariners harbor new york by united dry docks incorporated it was originally in the plattsburgh sacconi somewhere along the line at also known as the mobile albany before getting renamed as the chester polling at the time of its sinking it was owned by the motor vessel polling brothers and that was number one inc. I wasn't able to find who was actually named after but obviously some member of the family. So that's a little bit of history about the ship now on january tenth. Nineteen seventy seven capital captain. Bert charles burgess was in command. The forecast for that day was for thirty five mile an hour winds along with fifteen to twenty foot seas. the chester polling chester. A polling left. Everett are left everett at six thirty. A m well as we all know. Forecast can be wrong. The winds built up to fifty miles per hour and to seize goddess highs. Thirty feet facing the mounting sees captain. Burge's tried to get more stability by adding more ballast but at ten thirty a m a thirty foot waves smashed into the tanker and broke it in half the captain called for abandoning the ship. Six of the seven members of the crew were saved. I believe it was the cook jail. Derosa from providence rhode island who perished the sir. The stern section of the chester polling came to rest off easter point gloucester originally in about seventy five feet of water with the bow section sinking about four miles off of eastern point in about one hundred ninety feet of water subsequent winter. Storms move the stern section to its present location about eight hundred yards off of eastern point about ninety five feet of water. I think the bottom might be a little bit deeper than that. However the stern section of the chester polling is what some folks call hollywood wreck sitting upright and is probably the most popular wreck dive off. Cape ann as that areas known. Now i- i dove the chester polling way back in july two thousand and five. It was my fortieth dive and a double dip on. The polling was part of my advanced open water class. These dyes would constitute my deep and wreck advanced. Open water dives. At that time. I was still diving in a seven. Millimeter wetsuit with the appropriate gloves and hood. I use the standard aluminum. Eighty tank with nighthawks. Thirty two. I can still remember the anxiety that had doing. The first real wreck dive in the northeast but once in the water what an amazing dive the visibility that day was thirty feet and my max step was at eighty five. Even though it was july the water temperature on iraq was fifty degrees. It was incredible to move along the deck and reach the mid mid ship section where. The tanker broken half absolutely mesmerizing but with an aluminum. Eighty you don't get much bottom time and after about fifteen minutes we headed back to the up line and after are appropriate safety. Stop we climb back aboard the boat and got ready to do it again. Total dive time was twenty six minutes the second dive that day was just as spectacular and pretty much the same profile. Let me just say in a wetsuit. It can get pretty chilly. I didn't go back to the chester polling until august. Two thousand nine and that was my last trip there. It was my two hundred and forty ninth dive but this time i did it in a dry suit and hope to get some good video of iraq. I still dove aluminum. Eighty the dive was just as i remembered and just as exciting visibility again was thirty feet. And my max. Depth was eighty two with and the bottom temperature. That day was forty eight degrees still very cold but so much better in a dry suit again however with an aluminum eighty. You just. Don't get much bottom time especially if your task loading like shooting video so my recommendation is that if you are planning to die the polling you might want to consider a little bit bigger tank something like a steal one hundred or going to doubles. I know that i wouldn't consider going back with anything less than a steel one hundred tank. How do you get to the chester polling back. Then we use cape and divers but they closed up several years ago and recently the dive boat cape and diver to was purchased by several guys from boston. An air now operating regularly chart regular charters again became an diverse to is a forty five foot. us coastguard registered dive vessel. It is spacious and right now with limited divers on board you get plenty of room to get ready and dive but you don't get a lot of but you don't get a lot of time because you don't have a lot of time to get ready because the is only a few minutes from the dock so be prepared one thing. Different about northeast wreck diving. Is that as a diver. You need to bring all your gear that includes tanks weights everything. It's not like diving at a resort. Don't get caught short by not being prepared with all your own stuff now. Here's an interesting element. That i discovered during my research. It appears that in nineteen sixties. The chester polling was length lengthened. By maybe twenty six or so feet. That doesn't sound like much. But at the time of her sinking her length with two hundred and eighty two feet so that lengthening was about ten percent of the original ship's length could this have been a contributing factor for the ship splitting in half. I wonder so if you happen to be in the area of cape ban in gloucester massachusetts. You might wanna look up cape and diver to and head out for a double dip on the chester a

Erratic Oregon Wildfire Destroys Dozens of Homes, Expands
"Scrambled today to try to control a raging inferno and southeastern Oregon that's spreading miles a day and windy conditions. Crews had to flee the fire lines. Late yesterday after a dangerous fire clouds started to collapse, threatening them with strong downdrafts and flying embers. An initial review showed the bootleg fire has so far destroyed 67 homes and 117 outbuildings overnight in one county. Authorities were still counting the losses and the second county where the flames are surging up to four miles a day.

Active flames are searching along 200 miles of the fire's perimeter. The bootleg fire was expected to merge with a smaller but equally explosive fire to the east. By nightfall, the inferno has stymied firefighters for a week with erratic winds and extremely dangerous fire behavior, including the fire clouds that form from superheated air, rising to a height of up to six miles above the blaze.

From chicago's a familiar trip for many black families in the city. Who left the south during the great migration. My family though did not make those trips. Even though both of my mom's parents come from mississippi my grandfather along with most of his siblings migrated to chicago from greenville. Once he got north though he never returned. There's nothing good back there. He would tell my mom when she was young. What specifically was back there. He never shared with her but emmett he couldn't wait to get there and his family and mississippi was just as excited. They couldn't wait to hear stories about chicago to show him how they liked to have fun in mississippi to do some of the things kids like to do in the summer like go swimming.

Runner Cara Enright on Completing the Goggins Challenge
"Speaking of distance and pain caves. How are you feeling you just completed. The goggin challenged you ran for while you know. I'll let you explain it. I'm like you ran. Four by four equals forty eight. Then you can you explain to us the goggin challenge and tell us how you're feeling yes. So first of all props to any interns athletes out there that was so challenging like physically but also mentally. It was so hard. So we teamed up with ask clark who people might know him from the bachelor. He also does release recovery which is in addiction foundation. And we ran. let's see for. I'm very bad at explaining it as well. So every four hours we ran four miles for forty eight hours so over. The course of forty eight hours. We ended up running forty eight miles which coincidentally was the highest mileage. I've ever seen in my life in one week. And i did that in two days so i was very impressed but it was very challenging. I think the hardest part of the challenge wasn't so much the four miles because four miles didn't seem as daunting it was the only four hours in between the four miles and during that time you want to sleep you want to. We were lucky we got to shower during some of them so it was definitely an experience

We found an article. And we're gonna we're gonna borrow this article and talk about our thoughts on some of these things in flight magazine. Which is the texaco flight. Training magazine from the ao pa. Still the one that i get imprint. I much enjoy it. has a lot of good things in it as a relates to flight training. So if you're not a member of the go register you'll get the magazine for free either imprint of electronic but way back in january of two thousand eighteen There was an article written ten things ten mistakes. That student pilots do wrong. And we're going to talk about those while the examiner. I know you see a lot of things that go wrong. let's jump right in. We've we've done some of these topics but we'll we'll go through all ten of them. What's number ten number ten pertains to checklists and lonely appalled. We have done a An episode on the usage It is something that is required to be graded or or evaluated. Rather i should say on a check ride Pretty much on on all the landings. All all the takeoffs and everything down there in in One of the elements that i'm supposed to be looking at as proper use of checklists and You know it's pretty simple. If if you don't use a checklist you're obviously not properly using it. So i see Occasionally on on check. Rides that that applicants. Are you know especially for our landing checklist. They're just using gump's and they're going through it and they're going through their mind. But there's not a checklist anywhere close And that's that's really a bad habit pattern I and i know Maybe a cessna one seventy two especially a fuel injected one where carburetor heat is not Introduced to the the scenario. There's really not a whole lot to do As far as landing. You know as far as Checklist items But it's it's a habit pattern it something that is required and it something expected When you get a job plan a big airplane especially at an airline. Checklists are are used. They're used every time You know. I fly big airplanes and some of our checklists. Only have three items on them. And i have a memorized. But i still pull out the checklist and i look at it and i read it and i i respond to it appropriately so it is a big item. You know you're not gonna fly the same airplane all the time. You may fly. An airplane now has cal flaps. You may be flying. Fuel injected one seventy two. And you're used to that but today you're flying an end model and you've got carburetor so you got carburetor heat to be considered and that's all on the checklist Landing lights Just just everything. That's on the checklist is it's there for for a reason so you know it's something that that We we need to do better with you. And i think as a student pilot when i was training you i did get lulled into this fact that i'm flying saint planes. They don't the school when i was going here. Only had one seventy two. So i was always flying a one. Seventy two all tricycle fixed gear aircraft. You could get lulled into that. But i've flown a lot of different types of aircraft. Now and if i only thought of those items on one seventy two n p models than if i did like you said flu anything else that i could get myself in trouble or hurt pretty quick right so number. Nine on. This list is poor weather. Planning i find that to be something that I find myself chasing people down talking about on a regular basis at the flight. School people learning how to fly. They wanna go. They wanna go And they just i don't. I don't think as much as we talk about it. I still don't think students understand. The dangers of what weather can do to us. And that weather as europe pilot and you fly weather is not necessarily the same three or four miles from here. We can see here. Might not be what. What's going on three or four miles away And it's it's shocking. I think i've told the story of trying to fly to brenham to see my dad. Not that far away didn't do a weather briefing or really understand all about the weather. Pass this airport and get out there and be a wall of clouds just five or ten miles away and have to do you know quote unquote a holding pattern out there for for a thirty minute time. They would burn off but they never burned off. And i wasted a lot of gaffes in a lot of my time Trying to get somewhere. That i could have solved for that. If i would've just looked at the weather

Mike schneider and bread. It sounds like you're trying to make me better myself. And i thought i was pretty good already but anyway so one thing i i've already done. I did it in twenty twenty. Was i opened robinhood account. I've been put a little bits of money in there to try to have to try to learn how to invest on my own versus other investing. That i do like the 401k plan but there are some things on. I'm going to work on. I'm going to check out amazon halo.

And i'm sure a lot of people have that as a goal they want to set for twenty twenty one. One app that i have used pretty consistently is fudge it. It is a budgeting app. It's free to use. And the thing i love about it. Besides being free is it's really straightforward and simple You plug in a budget you plug in your expenses you plug in how much income you have. And then that's it. It's really easy. It's a really quick way to track. You know how much money you're bringing in and how much you're spending month to month and it's a real simple view of everything that you have going on within a particular time period like i'll set mind from monthly and i'll go month to month and set budgets and what's great about it is you can save certain Budget items in star them. So that when you create a new budget those items carry over and so
