The Democrats Have Ran on Nothing
"We have had to stare down for years now is, as we are saying, we hold these views and we think yours are wrong or yours aren't as good or maybe if we're really ramped up yours are dangerous. That will come up every once in a while. It'll come up today. What we've gotten in return from the left is these are our views and you are stupid. These are our views and you are evil. These are our views and you are racist. These are our views and you are Hitler. It used to be that, in fact, there's an old axiom, a maxim, a premise, I'll Google it in a minute of how long it takes for somebody in any debate to invoke Hitler, and that's when you know they've pretty well lost and they've gone to the mat. Hitler. As soon as you invoke that, and it's kind of a, it's spoken of mockingly. But I'm dead serious about this. There was James Clyburn the third most powerful Democrat. In the house. And there he was, given the opportunity to distance from what he had said about that if Republicans win, it's Hitler back from the dead. And he said, no, we've seen this before. We have seen it before. And the world still exists. He said, we're not saying the world is going to end. The world didn't end when Hitler arose, he said. On Fox News Sunday was Shannon breen. He said, you know, Hitler came before Hitler after Hitler, there was still world, but this is the choice that we face. There was Joe Biden a moment ago saying democracy itself is on the ballot as if there is a danger to democracy. This is all they have. This is all they have.

Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad Shares His Story
"Little bit about the car Benjamin story. Right. So I come from very humble background. My father was a sergeant in the RAF before he retired. A few years ago. And he had worked his way up from the very bottom because he came from a council estate in the oval. So my mother also came from a council flat in council house in wood and Bassett. So very humble position. I was fortunate enough to do computer science at the university when I was 19. There's a degree, but honestly, I found it really boring, and so I dropped out. And so I spent the next ten or 15 years just working in tech jobs really because that was what I had an aptitude for. Until woke politics came for the things I like. So let's start at that point in time, how would you have described yourself politically? Well, I would have described myself as left wing, actually. Labor Party or that kind of thing. Yeah, I probably would have done, although I have to say I wasn't politically very interested. Because it wasn't terribly interesting at the time to me. But it turned out that. His maxim was it. Pericles maxim, that. See, he's doing it now. He's doing it now. You might not be in a little bow mow carry on pericles, go ahead. You might not be interested in politics, but politics is very interested in you. At the start of my Trotsky, yes, and it was absolutely true, and once I became aware of this was not right. So luckily, I'd always taken a deep interest in history. I just thought I'd always found it fascinating. And so even just in my spare time, I would read history books read the original text of like thucydides or theodora, so whoever. It was just things that I just found interesting. Luckily enough. And

I feel like this is a very european episode because them is from russia marco. You're from holland and then we're like debuting holland which is so so so cool. But what's really cool. Is that all podcasters. Ooh look at that. I know and i did listen to. I mean i've of course. I've listened to tight and only understood half of it that i love an episode kentucky is like my favorite thing. It's actually what is it translates like wake time. And then also. Marco is a cultural blogger in social influencer Fat phobia and you know queer stigma you know What are you doing. Warrior activist activists and then and then.

I'm pretty sure it's more tolerant in holland there is drag race which we're going to get into it But i believe that you know being queer coming from russia. Coming to america wear We can openly queer. It's it's it's our responsibility to other people in the world. Adam eli always square. People everywhere are responsible for people everywhere. Bad god that's amazing and so it would seem funny is that maximum did what i did which is basically during the pandemic christmas like you know what i need to start that podcast that i've been dreaming of starting the podcasts called let's talk which is amazing And so how did you come up with the concept and then You know what. I guess are afraid of taking the plunge into something. So what gave you permission to give yourself permission. Kinda give myself permission into ask everybody Let's talk kind of I've been wanting to start youtube channel for awhile. And let's talk and spell. Not w k which is very brooklyn just kind of i dreamt of it one day omelettes and then some. I told some of my friends that they loved it. I always dreamed of starting a podcast. But i never had the time for because you know being a an artist in new york city always like hustle in doing all these things but when the pandemic started i realized that now is the time to do something in also i third. Let's talk as a kind of a response to what was going on. My very first episode was about how the trump administration allowed the pandemics rage. The wildly in the mirror console. It was kind of like my coping mechanism with the one happening around the Channel for me My frustration at the previous administration so it was kind of boring As away from to reality but also being able to conduct analyze the world around us in kind of when you do you realize that all happened. There will be an end. We need a vaccine so like at the very beginning when there was no certainty about everything. Let's talk provided me and hopefully my listeners. With some kind of certain. That's austin and you know what's funny about it is like i think a friend of mine was like i really wish there was like a queer politics podcast and You know because like there are a lot of different. There's like the npr politics podcast which is lovely and then there's also What's at pod. Save america which is great but it's kind of like very like sis basque hetero and they're very progressive which is great. But i was like like where is that queer you know politics podcast and then literally like fell into my life and i was like found it will. I'm i'm very happy to hear that i agree with you. Might think is when i started a podcast. I have conversations. That i didn't hear mainstream media i wanted to have conversations Nobody else having so kind of looking at politics throw very. Queer perspectives also rushing Jewish middle eastern. I'm a lot of like multi hyphenated very racial ambiguous white person. It was just. I felt like there is a niche for my voice For voice look at politics. And also i felt like a lot of queer. People are very political but only within like queer community within like on. dvd q. issues as opposed to you know politics economics and legislative issues. I wanted to bring that and make it clear as long. Can you explain to me how you managed to get so many fabulous guests onto your podcast. I was listening to the So there's there's a fab instructing called marty gold comings and they were running for political office. Actually unfortunately they did not win. But marty's episode with marty was just like it was so fascinating to hear about.

"He so the line between cooperation in government is getting thinner and thinner every day. And it's really. It's really interesting. And i think that i said it before. People need to understand what economic fascism is. What klaus schwab's up too because this is all tied the great reset all tied together. And it's it's not good. I think that that line is completely gone. I think that at the biggest level the corporation is government. The government is a corporation that they got the money going back and forth. They're all getting rich off of everybody else. I think they give the illusion at the lower levels. There's a little bit less of it at the lower levels but when it comes to the cloud schwab's and all them in elon. Musk in facebook. Facebook is not a private company. Okay they people say was primary. Facebook is totally working with every government on the planet to implement these policies and we heard jim sokha the other day say that they are working with facebook about content. That can put on there that they're working. They're in contact and in touch with all the major new news outlets about how to frame news. I mean this is not private companies are private watchdogs. These are public private partnerships. And what's even funnier about it. Though is she didn't say they're working with facebook. Jay said they were working four facebook.

"But you understand my point yes our politics and they prevent people from asking critical questions by just putting in someone. They trust uncritically. That's the idea so my takeaway of it is general. Performance was really the strongest takeaway for me. He was bumbling. He seemed like he was out of his mind. He seemed like he was really really old and he seemed unwell. Sometimes i go back and forth on whether they're doing that intentionally. So they bait people to mock him but it makes me think that perhaps we might be seeing another president a little bit sooner than anticipated monica. And she'll tell us more about this next week with. Monica had a thought we were talking yesterday that perhaps biden is going to be taken out by an unvaccinated person who infects him or something like that and i thought that was really interesting. Thought and i'm looking forward to hearing her elaborate on that next week but i think we could possibly see kamla sooner than later. I always thought it would be less than two years. Abide would be in well. I think it's funny. I don't know if you saw the articles the other day or field talked about this but that Unvaccinated people with coveted had had infected or or just had infected her directly or just her team but nancy pelosi had those people around. Do you think that that's the first showing of what they're gonna try with biden. Because he he talked about how him in. Barack obama had this plan that if if you know if he got sick he could. He wouldn't have to speak anymore. Someone else could take over. I mean this is absolutely. Who's in a sense that definitely the string is getting closer to him. You know it's just kind of creeping closer and closer to buy. Meanwhile he's going out and doing these events and he's not wearing a mask all the time. And we're seeing these breakthrough cases. Which by the way they're giving us all these percentages about these breakthrough cases completely out of context percentages completely out of context centers. But that's a s another story for another day but jen psaki today during the white house. Press conference said that they aren't going to be tracking the number of breakthrough cases. You're not how can you tell us. Ninety seven percent of people who are in the hospital are unvaccinated. When you're not going to be tracking and keeping up with breakthrough cases which are cases of and who've been vaccinated. If you're not gonna keep up with number. How can you give us a number. Is this just total. Bs the way that they use these statistics to manipulate. But you had something about corporate private type ownership right. So what's what's what's interesting is. I saw this clip yesterday right after we stopped talking. And you know you can't really trust elon. Musk because he's on the government dole essentially but sometimes he says some incredibly based things And so he would. There's this this they're doing. It's like a bitcoin organization that trying to talk people into using bitcoin. Have companies used bitcoin. Which i think you know coal. Let's let them try that in be by fiat. But he was talking and he was. Dorsey was on this panel with him. Jack dorsey from twitter and elon. Musk said government is the biggest corporation of all in. It's got a monopoly on violence..

"Hello and welcome to food. Neighborhoods sony monocle twenty four. I am marcus hippie. We continue this series with more recipes from some of the world's best shifts and bartenders. Today we hear a creative cocktail recipe from much shelter former head bartender at the american bar at the savoy and now bomb managed to ask corey mescaline rea- in london. I'm maximum originally from germany. Now here in london. Coal previously have worked and travelled mostly through asia. Wilson middle east. And they're always in bars. Mostly tell us so. I'm going to explain to you. A bit about our seabrook and corn. French seventy five cocktail. That'd be half an hour menu. French five ferry classic champagne cocktail sparkling wine cocktail. Normally done gin and lemon juice. Sugar and then topped with champagne. Our version here. We wanted to challenge us and trying to get moscow into a champagne cocktail so we use by phone because it's possibly one of the only ingredients that grows in the uk that gives you an bright acidity and tartness like citrus. Lemon too so. I was villainess from scotland. We get on the branch. It's frozen comes on the branch and it's quite hent breaking work. If i can put it that way to get it off and then we steep this into an expert in moscow quite light not to smoke because you don't want through in that sort of refreshing spotting hotel. We stood for three months filtered out the mesko got like an addition of acidity fruityness. Thorn is amazing because it has also lot of flavors in that. And i think i've read somewhere. It's probably one of the healthiest fruits. There is like the amount of antioxidants and vitamins and is through with a mexican corn. Lacuna coil mice. Nick nexta and it gives a great richness to it. It builds off flavors. Because people wouldn't spot necessarily silicone. But i would like to compare it. With brioche has east e- rich ready flavor and that compared with this freshness toddlers of the seabrook villain and the mascot is just fantastic. We do that. We add a tiny tiny bit of seabrook from pure as well just to give brightness to it then shake it up and topped with sparkling one but now we wanted to find another link to mexico and actually gave it to santiago to try and he was like you know what needs to be chilly in the of course the needs to be chilly in there because every one of dishes so i expected common lettuce but then i got reminded when i was in thailand. A lot of fruit. When you buy it at a vendor on the street you will get chilly. Saw with it. And you can dip the fruit into chile salt and it's just an amazing combination so we wanted to have that flavor combination and deliver that experience that memory. Let's say you know. Deliver that memory of fruit with chilis and how that pass so. We made our own chilly. Sold museum potentially very small almost smokey not spicy so you can still easily enjoy it and yeah it's just such an amazing refreshing drink mask with sparkling wine called in the end. I think you know echo so well with food as well because it cuts through richness. For example we have puzzle code on the menu in the area. Which is basically like puffed. Almost like a dumpling. You could say it's like a bow but inside you have rich soft therese. Oh and a bit of crashing on there is little going on that dish but that drink cuts through it and actually helps it as well because poke fruityness goes well.

I can't stand the watching this sports nowadays because knowing in seeing nobody is there. And i'm still hearing like a crowd in the background of the sound. It's like why would be weirder. It would be weirder in my opinion if there was silenced. It wouldn't because then it would actually be a little bit more like you're there at the game because if like when you go to a hockey game i like watching them practice when it's like nobody's really talking. There's a few people at the ice. Or and i'm pretty sure it's like that with all those words what i love that. I love that aspect. It's more personal any of the professional athletes. Because i'm curious how their mindset is during a game when there's not that crowd does it. Help their focus. Does it lessen their dr greg.

You don't give the way. So yeah i don't i don't appreciate things more if you work for it but i am blessed and fortunate that i was working for my dad. 'cause i learned a lot about business in networking and i. I guess it probably laid the foundation for my interviewing skills because i would talk to traders buyers wonder what their needs are. Try to accommodate. Learn that in. It was a lot of fun talking to americans all over the united states. It was one of those things you know. When for example. What if five is still selling lumberton. I had buyer's in kansas versus buyers tampa after the super bowl. You're right so you get said when you're elections are going on you hear more on the ground comments and things like that so i learned a lot about your country and in little fun things like. I'm not sure if it's in ohio but there's festival. I'd love to go to so that you probably would never learn about so. I really lucky crazy is.

How to Stand Out When Applying for a Job at a Small Tech Company
"Most of my advice that i've written episode of what are your would. What should you do if you're cold applying for a job. And i think that's worth talking about and that's worth the will focus on it. But i did want to mention before we got here that i think really the best way to get hired at a company is to like have some friends or contacts in that company. Like that's like really like the mode version of this is like you've been going to meet ups or something and met someone that works there so this is my if i had to kind of summarize what i think the most important thing to do is to get hired from the perspective of someone hiring is to figure out how to like maxim elite de risk. That person hiring you because that's how it feels like for my side of things anyways and not is very similar to what you're talking about if someone else on your team know someone wanting coverage for them like that does a lot to de risk totally hiring process right or hold no someone because come to your meet up for two years and they've given presentations or You know so totally into that. The exactly and and this didn't i didn't quite appreciate this until i started hiring people at a company that i started. But it's scary super scary like it's really. It worries me a lot that we're going to hire the right people and then have to fire them later or they'll be like good but not great and it's going to just be kind of a drag end. It's very it's much more emotionally chat charged and frightening. Yeah it really is because you're making like a really big commitment to whoever you hire to like. Nobody would ever want to hire someone and then just let them go. You know what. I mean because it didn't work out because you didn't do enough work to kind of validate that it was going to workout ahead of time like from the other side as the person like getting a job. If you take a job at a company and you find out like two weeks in that you hate it you can just go start applying for other jobs. If you get one you can leave but from the perspective of some hiring if you hire someone in two weeks in not working out. You can't just start interviewing other candidates for the job now and then get rid of that person when you find someone to replace them. I guess you can but like you would never want to do that. Because you're really like throwing a wrench into someone's life you know. And so yeah. It's super super super super scary for sure right. See i thought that's kind of like the first like what am i. I sorta piece of advice as a vice around. This is sort of having empathy for the person who's like reviewing your application. So i think getting that fact out there if this is a small company this person is like worried about getting the right person and so like you're trying to de risk yourself as a candidate. Yeah so what are some ways to do that you think. Yeah so there's a balancing act here. But i think so. The classic thing is kind of like do a little bit of the job at a time. Like we're you. And i are both Been looking designers recently. Yeah and i think we both kind of left our our job with occasion. Pretty open in terms of how people could apply. The you said just like apply in a way that makes you like. Do you think presents you will. And we actually put out a specific thing that was like sign up for the product. And tell us something you think. It'd be better. Yeah so pretty. Pretty broad things and i think that that has been that has worked well for us like people giving feedback that way so like i don't i don't think it's fair to ask an applicant to do a lot of work like a crazy amount of up front work doing a little bit of like. Hey let me just like show off a little bit of my skill here just enough to get you interested is like kind of the first base line. Try to hit.

The dreamers were given a long careful orderly path to citizenship by obama administration program called daca gave them a legal way to work a legal way to get on the path towards citizenship by declaring themselves. Checking all the boxes going through all of this all the legal and procedural things they needed to to get on the right side of the law. Republicans in the trump administration have been trying to kill this off ever since despite the fact that the vast majority of americans not only sympathize with but empathize with the dreamers and their legal plight well. The trump administration effectively ordered the program to help the dreamers ordered. Dick killed off the way they did. It was basically illegal and that has been the conclusion of several federal judges along the way. But now tonight just before showtime one federal judge has gone beyond the sort of limbo. This program has been in and the judge actually ordered the trump administration to reinstate daca for the dreamers. Lots of expectations. That biden was going to do that.

The Obviously-Going-To-Die Stocks
"We're going to start with the stock of the day. Don't call it a comeback bed bath and beyond has been here for years. It's just all that time someone else was running the company but now that Mark Trittin has been in the Corner Office for about a year. We're seeing days like today second quarter profits came in exponentially higher than expected. Same store sales were positive for the first time in four years. The stock is up more than thirty percent this morning. I'm assuming at least part of what we're seeing with the stock is some shortsellers saying that's it. I. Think. I'm. Probably. Bed, bath, and congratulations to march written and Beth by best buy bed bath and beyond. For this quarter, March, written formerly of target, of course, and a few other places before that, I think Nordstrom's and I believe. He had a stint at Nike to could be misquoting. This bed bath and beyond is in a group of companies retailers that I like to call the obvious obviously going to die crowd. And the funny thing about companies that are obviously going to die when they get the right mix of management decision making and in some help from the environment and you know just a little bit of because no one's more aware of a company's struggles at least no one should be more aware of a company struggles then the people inside the company. And that's when you plan your strategy. What are our tools? How can we navigate our way through whatever we found ourselves in business is not easy and certainly for this group retailers that I'm Gonna I'm GONNA hold up. Bed Bath and beyond as one Chris. But you know how about Game Stop Game Stop. The seller of video game systems and Software that of course is going to be the next blockbuster. Right if they writing that headline since two thousand and nine, how `Bout Michael's the craft store everybody knows I. Y has an Amazon run over. And the granddaddy of all of these. Companies that are obviously going to fail. They're obviously going to be taken bricks and mortar is dead is best buy which just before the podcast we were talking about how? How many listeners? Realize, that best buy has been at ten bagger over the past decade they went through some struggles they brought in new management. WHO had a plan? and. I'm sure they were mocked and I'm sure people were skeptical and they executed on that plan and best buy, which was a sub twelve dollar stock in. Two Thousand Ten two thousand eleven is today roughly one hundred twenty dollars stock. And so when you see. I'm a kick myself a little bit on dust by iron best buy bed bath and beyond his too many bees. Bed Bath and beyond. I actually did a little bit of work about a year ago as I was discussing with one of our with one of our foolish coworkers. About this basket of Taylor's who are sure to die. And we had this one. We had game stop we have Michael on the docket and I went through you know what this company's history of cash flow was and what they've done with it and how they've raise capital, and this is before Mr Trenton came on but I. It laid the groundwork for someone with. A better vision to come in and knocked the ball out of the park which you've seen today and and best bed bath, and beyond is as we speak it's now a six th bagger since March of this year and so in the a roughly a year ago when I did my work because I was vigorously debating co I pointed out that in the previous six years here was bed bath and beyond had produced four point two, billion dollars in free cash flow. They had also issued one point five billion dollars in debt and debated smart about the debt because the debts. Basically staggered I think is a ten twenty and thirty years. and. They have to pay it back anytime soon, and they had gone on a massive buyback program. They've they've retired a ton of their shares. Now. Slowly melting ice cube no one's going to want to own this business what have you. But at the time the stock was about ten eleven dollars the company is training but four times enterprise value of free cash flow. that. That is rock bottom fools that is something that is going to go away. That's what the market is telling you. Flash, forward, to today and oh positive cops. Oh. We have a plant. They've they've suspended their dividend they've they've halted their. They've halted their. They suspended the dividend halted their share buyback plan I believe in. April. But with this. With this. report, they have generated a ton of cash flow. They've deployed it smartly they took down some temporary which they had out as part of the PARCO vid. They have bought back twenty percent of that long dated not in any danger to come calling debt they bought that back at a discount. Which is brilliant. They. So they're down to their down net debt down by about thirty percent from where they started the year. They have a store optimization program, which is something that a lot of these retailers the slowly melting ice cube crowd will call them. They are reducing their store count 'cause they don't need it because they can move to ECOMMERCE, which they've done a little bit they can move to. The geography is able he served by less stores and you see a lot of. Traffic that previously went through one store transitions to another and. They are steal a Ron grosses them here they are firing on all cylinders and I'm not sure. Anyone. Thought is coming. I am I am both thrilled that they are doing this they're having success because everyone loves a comeback. I'm less thrilled that you own it and I don't. But. That's mainly because I had this in my hand a year ago Chris and I'm holding it up. The skull of York. And and I'm looking at it and I didn't at least put a little field position because as I said, at the time training for four times free cash flow that is close to no-brainer territory for me. So two other quick data points before we go to our next story. Not. Surprisingly digital sales of big driver this quarter. That goes hand in hand with the store closures so Another smart move by Trittin and his team. And also Happy to see that they're you know suspending the dividend that they're. Suspending the sticking with the we're not going to buy back shares. I'm also happy to see they're not offering guidance. Their New Orleans. No need to at this point. Let's move on the third quarter sales, for Pepsi, grew five percent and. Kind of like we saw three months ago snacks and some of the beverages particularly the Seltzer. Part of their portfolio helping to make up for the fact that somebody restaurants are closed. So many sports and entertainment venues are closed and. That's that's the stock is basically flat and this kind of flat for all of twenty twenty but. Nice to see that the the salty snack part of the business is making up for the sort of the tried and true Pepsi part of the business. Gilead household particularly the soon to be sixteen year. Old Member of the Gillies household has been doing his part to. To to help with the salty snacks portion and shareholders. Thank him. Yeah I was GONNA? Say. You know dude. There are other food groups other than Doritos. Look it was a perfectly acceptable boring quarter from a perfectly acceptable boring company and and I think you know Chris but maybe some of the listeners not know. For, me to call a company perfectly boring from for me. That's a compliment because I like businesses that are boring. Not Terribly exciting person myself I enjoy. Investments in companies that just actually do what we expect them to do, and essentially just get it done quarter after quarter. Pepsi is not GonNa. You know if you'RE LOOKING FOR PEPSI TO BE A. Ten bagger. You know anytime soon like the aforementioned by we mentioned earlier. That's not gonNA happen. They are just a steady bedrock performer for your portfolio and we all need a few of those. So we can go after the more exciting things in our portfolio. Yes. So it was it was A. It was a boring it was a boring quarter but boring is nice because boring boring says, oh, we end up four four plus percent on. Organic revenue growth total revenue growth went up five plus percent. EPS Is up ten percent year-over-year just for the quarter. It's still down for year to date, but of course, Mindy Stan why because the previous quarter? Cova. no-one no-one was new what was going on? So we kind forgive that. They are they're pointing towards the full year. They did give guidance their point point to a full year of approximately four percent revenue growth approximately five fifty core earnings. Stocks at about one hundred, forty bucks. So it's not cheap. But it's not terribly expensive, and again, this is one of those widows and orphans stocks. You can buy put it away and we'll see you when you retire. Hugh Johnston, who's the CFO at Pepsi? Granular on CNBC this morning talking about because when you think about all of the food and beverages they have across their portfolio he got granular talking about the new cheetos macaroni and cheese saying you know they're trying to keep up with demand as a fan of both cheetahs and macaroni and cheese I haven't tried it yet but I can see why it's popular. Any. Do they give any color on the? Two. Portals that they were direct to consumer sites that they launched earlier this year snacks dot com and Pantry shop dot com. Sadly, Chris they did not at least in the conference call or the press the presser maybe in the ten Q I haven't read the ten q yet obviously but. Yeah no snacks dot com I can confirm both of those sites are open and accepting offers as of this moment. SNACKS DOT COM and Pantry shop I think is an interesting one because they are. You know you are buying your you're you're buying all of your Pepsi Slash quaker products. Simultaneously in in in the various groups. So if you want your everyday Pantry, you want to get your your oatmeal and your healthy. Your healthy Chia bars and your rice cakes do people still eat rice cakes and if so why? You can get all those delivered at the same time or your snack package your breakfast package You know it's it's interesting to to have it delivered. I I'M NOT A. I I'm one of the three people in North America is still doing own grocery shopping. So I'm probably target here but I know a lot about the people how to use it and I think probably if I let my as I mentioned a sixteen year old note that this thing existed. It might be his only source of nourishment. So yeah, don't don't. On, the first time I went to that website I kind of went crazy to the point where in the box showed up to two days later even my kids were just like. This is a lot of snacks and was like, yeah I may have ordered too many but but I regret nothing. Playboy. Enterprises is returning to the public markets after nearly a decade and because I was are out of fashion, playboy is going to be doing this through a speck. Mountain Crest acquisition is a current special purpose acquisition company that is going to be taking playboy public through a reverse merger and wants to deal is done that company where the ticker is MC. ABC? Is. The playboy name and the ticker symbol P L B Y? I guess I, I saw this story and I thought, okay I'd that's one way for playboy, which is a private company and has been since twenty eleven. I. Guess That's one way to raise money. I, I, I'm hard pressed though to think that. The second round of playboy being a public company is going to go any better for the company and for investors than it did the first time around. That was my initial take as well, and you say it's one way to raise money I'd say it's one way for insiders to cash out. Tomato Tomato. The more I think about this though. I could be spectacularly wrong and it wouldn't be the first time. This might be quite this might be interesting I can see. I can see a number of thing, and I just find this interesting from a number of re. I as you point out. Yes, playboy. Is private the SPEC the Special Purpose Acquisition Company Mountain Crest Acquisition, company. It's out there. Now it's got. It's a walking wallet got a bunch of cash their stocks over ten dollars specs go at ten bucks. There's nothing you can. You can go buy today Chris if you want. And You can just sit there and wait until the transaction is completed in q one. If. You WANNA own playboy. So, playboy today is not playboy of the past for thing, magazines have died. So, there are no issues of the iconic famous magazine. These no regularly published issues and I believe they went to quarterly publishing versus. Monthly publishing before that. So what playboy is trying to be or this new iteration trying to be a licensing company and they're calling it across four major categories they're saying sexual wellness, which I'm just going to skip to the next one, which is style and apparel which is. Apparel. and accessories for men and women globally gaming and lifestyle also digital gaming hospitality and spirits. So you can get yourself some playboy-branded Bourbon. And beauty and grooming, which is fragrance skin care grooming cosmetics for men and women. Okay. That sounds interesting. They're not a publishing company more avoiding that and I guess they have a bunch of online stuff as well which. Tell people they can go look on their spare time but. They are calling themselves a streamlined high growth business. The company has four hundred million in cash flow contract through the next eighteen years. and has products available for sale and in ten thousand major retail stores. In the US, this is a brandon company. Now, now, what you think of the brand and what you associate with the brand, the iconic a bunny ears brand, of course. Is Is. is going to be probably a nuanced and varied. I can understand why some people. Would not want to do with this brand I completely understand that is not. Bend the most shall we say progressive brand in history? It has fostered some. Attitudes, particularly women that. I think it's fair to say some would find distasteful and I I completely understand why? And for those people, they're just not going to be shareholders and that's that's fine. But what I find interesting about this if this, if the licensing deal and we have, we've already had a certain dry run of this in. Do you know the magazine Maxim? It was. So it's a men's lifestyle magazine, girly pictures, and whatever it was bought by an entity called big holdings. I'm going to say eight nine years ago. With the goal of they went into change it from the the lad magazine into more of a lifestyle brand licensing deal what playboys doing. Now. I mentioned earlier it's important to have You know leaders businesses, you respect and trust big lorry holdings is not one of those businesses but I do know that they even though they're circulation sales are down significantly there they have turned that profitable on a small scale with the licensing strategy. I suspect the playboy will do a better job. And It will depend on the valuation coming out but you know when analogy I might throw up as. As a comparison is. Franchising businesses in the in the restaurant space. So a restaurant brands international, which owns importance and Burger King. Dunkin brands, which of course owns your beloved Dunkin donuts. Those are those are check cashing businesses, they they sell the franchise to a Franchisee. And then take tax six percent of their gross sales and royalties every month plus x percent for advertising they sell you a system and so those are very asset light cash-rich capital Genita- businesses. And part of me wonders here it's obviously not the same as selling. Coffee and whatever. But part of me wonders if that is what this business will look like, and if they are truly in the growth business and the cash generation business, this might be an interesting opportunity. And you just hit on what I think is the most interesting thing to watch. Once it becomes a public entity again, the high growth aspect of this because now we're going to see Now, we're GONNA see through quarterly reports. Okay. Are you growing? Because that's one of those things where we investors and the market in general get to decide what we consider to be high growth And I again I had I had your initial take which was. Oh please. Like if it didn't work the first time. It's going to work less well this time. The more I read about like. I'M GONNA keep an eye on this. Curiosity. Jim Gillies always talking to you. Thanks for being here.
Recorded Future - Inside Threat Intelligence for Cyber Security
Defending MacOS Against Sophisticated Attacks
"I've come from a kind of unusual background I guess for somebody in Cybersecurity. In. The sense that I started. I. Mean I've been involved with the MAC platform for. Something like fifteen years or more. But I didn't really start getting into it in a kind of technical way until about eleven years ago. And, I just started out on Apple's support forums trouble-shooting. Volunteering. Troubleshooting advice to people. And after Wa, that led me to most problems that are coming up back then were or it started to be when we started to see security issues like adware and things like that. And that sort of an Brown about way, let me to develop my own software to basically deal with all these issues. Instead of answering people's questions all the time. and. So for about five or six years I was. Developing my own software and doing that and. Then, about two years ago, I joined central one, basically, they were looking for somebody who had background in McCoy security shoes to sort of help with with research. And somebody who kind of knew the threat scape and sort of seen it evolve so. That's kind of how I got to today. Janka. Where do we find ourselves today when it comes to Mac Os and and sort of the state of things when it comes to security and what's your estimation of where we are? Generally the Mackie's a safe platform. I don't think. There's a big argument about that, but I think the the issue really is that. There is a malware problem on Mac os which never existed maybe five or six years ago. It's actually even escalated again in the last couple of years I think and I think part of that is to do with the fact that Maxim now. Foul often found in business environments whereas they probably weren't. Going back was five or six years would really. Popular Business Machine. And I think it's also that. Just to use his vague general term threat actors. Realized there is money to be made from accuses. Possibly it comes with the development of the iphone from two, thousand seven. But the fact that people now have them. Max connected to so many other devices there a rich hunting ground for people who want to. Gather, data of adware. We. Also have some more targeted actors as well with the business environment. So. I think the situation today really is that. There is a lot more threats, for Max, and has ever been before, but I think also not a great awareness Soviet. If you compare that to say windows. Yeah. You can ask even the most basic windows us and they probably know what an AV is probably know that they need to have windows defender turned on or something like that. But with MAC users, I don't generally get that sense of awareness. You know this is sort of general feeling that it's a market. It's safe by design. You know I think that's. Something that people really need to have second thing about with the kind of threats that we see these days. It's it's my perception from the folks that I've talked to that the majority of the The malware hitting Mac users seems to be adware people. It's that classic update your copy of Flash and then something gets installed shows. Ads is, is that an accurate perception on my part I? Would say, so I think I wouldn't like to give figures because I don't really have the data to to say that, but you know it. Sort of. Off of the top of my head, I would say, probably seventy eighty, maybe even ninety percent of the stuff I actually see on a day to day basis is going to be adware and it's Kinda cousin, which is the stuff recalled bundle way all the kind of. Potentially. unwanted. Software. That gets installed alongside says, download some software manager and you get like ten. Things back keeper and Lisov utilities that are not really often any any value. That often get installed. Through hidden, very, very difficult to see check boxes and things like that. CRYPTO is also thing. We've had allowed minor bird minors in the last couple years that they've been intimidated detections. We see those on the rise quite a lot. and. Too, much lesser extent. There's bits of the spyware. Data stealing stuff, Anacostia things that get headlines every hour now, and again is the. Things Lazarus or AP GM era. You know very very targeted dings going after specific uses. So yeah, I. Mean I. think that's a fairly accurate way to think about it. In terms of the general user. I, think the most threats they're looking at our. ADWARE unbundle where? The other problem that I'm I see. Developing is when we look at these adware bundle where actors and. Listen to in the media's general slayer which has been. Pretty proactive in the last eighteen months, or so what you see is a lot of interaction between between themselves and a lot of swapping. So you get adware sources installing bundle wear and you get bundle where download is that are serving up where and it's it's kind of difficult. Actually a Lotta time to pull up different players, all these sort of paper install kind of things, some serving adware, some of them are serving genuine malware so. It seems as if there is a lot full of interaction with these guys. In terms of helping each other out to. Serve this. I mean I just called a whole lot malware. Basically, something that the US had doesn't want doesn't know and is not in our interests and as you know as far as I'm concerned it, you might as well call it all where. The number of these things his what's really. Quite. Shocking. When you look at just how much more of this is occurring this more this year than there was last year, you know almost exponentially, and this seems to be more players as

The New Yorker: Fiction
Greg Jackson Reads Where You'll Find Me by Ann Beattie
"We're going to hear where you'll find me by an beady which was published in the New Yorker in March of nineteen eighty six. What's wrong with me? Howard says it's almost the first time he's looked at me since I arrived. I've been trying not to register my boredom and my frustration with cates paddle. Maybe we should get a tree. I say I don't think it's Christmas. That's making me feel this way. Howard says the story was chosen. Greg Jackson whose debut Story Collection Prodigal was published in two thousand sixteen. Hi Greg Hi Deborah. So you once a student of. Nbd's right. I was wearing. When was that? I was her student at the University of Virginia in twenty eleven. Two thousand. Twelve I had a workshop with her and she was then my thesis adviser and I chose her as my thesis adviser because she never liked any of my work and I thought what better person to learn from I I knew in some sense that She was right in that. My work wasn't very good but I didn't really know why I thought if I just hung out with her for a really long time. I'd figure out what she knew that I didn't did that. Work you know it's funny. It didn't really work and I think this is like the side of teaching writing. That's impossible but she did. Tell me a number of things that were so true that when I was able to understand what she was saying I realized if I'd gotten it at the time it would have helped a lot but it's one of those things where you have to actually experience. The truth fit in practice. She was dead on. But it's just it's hard to like here maxim and be like. Oh yeah that's what I should be doing my writing. Yeah and at that time. Had you read a lot of her work? I'd rather fair number. Her stories partly coming into Virginia. I knew that she was one of the people I was really excited about studying with but I can't say that I had a kind of comprehensive career. What was it that appealed to you about the stories that you dread will. They were so different from what I was doing and probably different from in some ways from what I've gone on to You know I think sometimes people apply. This term minimalism and I think she rebels against that term and I understand why. I don't think she's minimalist but I did. Think of myself at the time as maximalist trying to kind of fit as much of all the nuance at any given moment into When I was writing and I felt like with her there was some ability to just say less than I ever would have been comfortable saying and somehow in saying last two or something that so kind of rich and mysterious in just itself kind of discipline that I didn't have him still don't really have. Yeah and when you chose this story where you'll find me which I think you said you now teach. Was that a story. You knew back then. Is it a story that you came to later? It's one of my probably two or three very favorites of hers. I've loved teaching this story because it seems on the surface very straightforward But it actually has such depth and reservoirs of symbol and metaphor in sort of deep structures. That it's very fun and interesting to work with students to see how something can kind of work just completely on the surface level and kind of have these steps that you drop into. Well maybe we should drop into them now and then we can talk a little more. So now here's Greg Jackson reading where you'll find me by NBD where you'll find me friends. Keep calling my broken arm. A broken wing. It's the left arm now folded against my chest and kept in place of the blue scarfs. Sling that is knotted behind my neck in ways too much ever to have been winglike. The accident happened when I ran for a bus. I tried to stop it from pulling away by shaking my shopping bags like Maracas in the air. And that's when I slipped on the ice and went down so I took the train from New York City to Sarah Toga yesterday. Instead of driving I had the perfect excuse not to go to Saratoga to visit my brother at all but once I had geared up for it I decided to go through with the trip and avoid guilt. It isn't Howard. I mind but his wife's two children a girl of eleven and a boy of three beck either pays no attention to her brother Todd or else. She tortures him last winter. She used to taunt him by stalking around the House on his heels clumping close behind him wherever he went which made him run and scream at the same time. Kate did not intervene until both children became hysterical and we could no longer shout over their voices. I think I like it. That their physical. She said maybe if they enact some of their hostility like this they won't grow up with a habit of getting what they want by playing mind games with other people. It seems to me that they will not ever grow up but will burn out like meteors Howard has finally found what he wants the opposite of domestic tranquillity. For six years he lived in Oregon with Pale Passive Woman. On the rebound. He married even Paler. Pre Med student named Francine that marriage lasted less than a year and then on a blind date in Los Angeles. He met Kate whose husband was away on a business trip to Denmark. Just then in no time. Kate and her daughter an infant son moved in with him to the studio apartment in. Laguna beach. He was sharing with screenwriter. The two men had been working on a script about Medgar Evers but when Kate and the children moved in they switched to writing a screenplay about what happens when a man meets a married woman with two children on a blind date and the three of them move in with him and his friend. Then Howard's collaborator got engaged in moved out in the screenplay was abandoned. Howard accepted a last minute. Invitation to teach writing at an upstate. College New York and within a week. They were all ensconced in a drafty Victorian House in Saratoga. Kate's husband had begun divorce proceedings before she moved in with Howard but eventually he agreed not to sue for custody of Becky and Todd in exchange for child support payments that were less than half of what his lawyer thought he would have to pay now. He sends the children enormous stuffed animals that they have little or no interest in with notes that say put this mom zoo a stuffed toy every month or so giraffes a life sized German shepherd and overstuffed standing bear in every time the same note the bear stands in one corner of the kitchen and people have gotten in the habit of pinning notes to it reminders. To buy milk or get the oil changed in the car. Wraparound sunglasses have been added. Scarves and jackets sometimes draped on its arms. Sometimes the stuffed German shepherd is brought over propped up with its paws placed on the bears haunt imploring. It right now in the kitchen with the bear. I've just turned up the thermostat. The first one up in the morning is supposed to do that. And I'm dunking a teabag in a Mug of hot water for some reason it's impossible for me to make tea with loose tea and the t-ball unless I have help. The only t bag I could find was emperor's choice. I sit in one of the kitchen chairs to drink the tea. The chair seems to stick to me. Even though I have on Mo- long johns and along Flannel nightgown. The chairs are plastic. Very nineteen fifties patterned with shapes that. Look sometimes geometric sometimes almost human little things like malformed hands reach out toward triangles and squares. I asked Howard and Kate got the kitchen set at an auction for thirty dollars. They thought it was funny. The House itself is not funny. It has four fireplaces wide board floors and high dusty ceilings. They bought it with his share of an inheritance that came to us. When our grandfather died cates contribution to restoring the house has been transforming. The baseboards into faux marble. How effective this is has to do with how stone she is when she starts. Sometimes the baseboards looked like clotted versions of the Kitchen. Chair pattern instead of marble cake considers what she calls parenting to be a full-time job. When I moved to Saratoga she used to give piano lessons now. She ignores the children and paints the baseboards in. Who Am I to stand in judgment? I'm a thirty eight year old woman. Out of a job on tenuous enough footing with her sometime lover that she can imagine crashing emotionally as easily as she did on the ice. It may be true as my lover. Frank says that having money is not good for the soul money that is given you that is he is a lawyer who also has money but it is. Money earned parlayed into more money by investing in real estate and urban farm as part of this real estate boxes of herbs keep turning up at Frank's office herbs and foil herbs and plastic bags dried herbs wrapped in cones of newspaper. He crumbles them for Omelettes ROASTS VEGETABLES HIS OPPOSED TO SALT. He insists herbs are more healthful. And who am I to claim to love a man when I am skeptical even about his use of herbs? I'm embarrassed to be an employed. I'm insecure enough to stay with someone because of the look that sometimes comes into his eyes when he makes love to me. I'm a person who secretly shakes on. Salt in the kitchen then comes out with her plate. Smiling as Basil is crumbled over the tomatoes sometimes in our bed his finger smell of Rosemary. Tarragon strong smells sour. Smells whatever Shakespeare says or whatever is written in culpeper complete herbal. I cannot imagine that herbs have anything to do with love but many brides to be come to the herb farm and by branches of herbs to stick in their bouquets they their wrists with herbal extracts to smell mysterious. They believed that herbs. Bring Them Luck. These days they want tubs of Rosemary in their houses. Not fakest trees. I got in right on the cusp of the new world. Frank says he isn't kidding for the Christmas party tonight. They're cherry tomatoes halved and stuffed with peaks of cheese mushrooms stuffed with pureed tomatoes tomatoes stuff with chop mushrooms and mushroom stuffed with cheese caters laughing in the kitchen. No one's going to notice she mutters. No one's going to say anything. Why don't we put out some nuts? Howard says nuts are so conventional. This is funny. Kate says squirting more soft cheese out of a pastry tube year. We had mistletoe mulled CIDER. Last year we lost their sense of humor. What happened that? We got all hyped up. We even ran out on Christmas Eve to cut a tree. The kids Howard says that's right. She says the kids were crying. They were feeling competitive with the other kids or something. Becky was crying. Todd was too young to cry about that Howard says why are we talking about tears? Kate says we can talk about tears when it's not the season to be jolly everybody's going to come in tonight and loved the res on the picture hooks and the food is so festive. We invited a new Indian guy from the philosophy department. Howard says American Indian Not Indian from India if we want we can watch the tapes of jewel in the crown. Kate says I'm feeling really depressed. Howard says backing up to the counter and sliding down until he rests on his elbows his tennis shoes or wet. He never takes off his wet shoes and he never gets colds.

Bob Iger steps down as CEO of Disney
"There's news today that Bob Eiger is stepping down immediately as CEO of the Walt Disney company to make room for his successor and that is Bob JPEG who runs Disney's theme parks division last year Argo announced that he would step down when his contract expires at the end of twenty twenty one he will remain at the company as executive chairman and according to a Disney press release will direct the company's creative endeavors joining me to discuss the Disney news is Ben Fritz is the west coast bureau chief of the Wall Street journal he's also the author of the book the big picture the fight for the future of movies so Bob Eiger has mentioned several times that he was going to leave his current position what are we to make of the timing right now it's tough to tell exactly why what why the sudden change after all these years about what you're saying he was gonna leave it at night and then on saying he was gonna leave and delaying he delayed his retirement numerous times over the past decade and he's you know less than a year and a half into it his latest three year contract so it's kind of surprising in its day but on the other hand like it's very I gear to sort of do it do it all in secret and then all of a sudden announced to the world and in an unexpected way so his successor Bob che pack runs Disney's biggest business that is theme parks and consumer products what are we to make of his selection and were there other people who might have been competing for the job certainly our or other people like I think the biggest contender currently at Disney's Kevin Mayer who's running their new screening effort you know that's led by Disney plus he's piece insert top strategy except for the company for a long time you know with Kate Kate back amongst the current crop of executives that is a bit of a safe choice right he's running he's running sort of the traditional businesses like theme parks obviously business most associated with Disney as opposed to remaining which is certainly the future of Disney and you know by all accounts he pick is a very smart guy and a very competent guy but certainly is not so different sort of had like the the Christmas season as much of the house of a great public speaker of this you know Bob Iger's let's talk a little bit about what Bob Iger has done at the Walt Disney company I'm gonna name before deals Pixar's seven point four billion Marvel for billion Lucasfilm for billion and last year the Whopper twenty first century fox seventy one point three billion those are all kind of content movie TV deals what kind of studio is Bob Eiger leaving behind before we talk about the rest of the company I really mean highway I think anybody would have to say is sort of the most successful and tightly run major entertainment company in in America today because he's very focused on franchises they were ahead of the rest of Hollywood and it pops into their business on franchises as you said a lot of that to acquisitions of Pixar and Marvel and Star Wars and franchises are busy sort of at the heart of the movie business these days in an auger was somewhat ahead of the curve in realizing you can just keep selling something Netflix is that Disney would have to launch its own streaming service to compete just like Disney plus is already out there and it's you know is is certainly ahead of what we're seeing from his competitors like HBO maxim peacock which are still to come I think I think later this year so you have to say he's always been for media executive pretty ahead of the curve and and been a leader is not just Disney plus as part of the fox deal they got a portion of who lived in they bought out the rest of the portion of Hulu from Comcast so what does Disney focused on now in terms of taking on Netflix with streaming they have Disney plus they have who is that where a lot of their money and attention is going right now absolutely I mean the future of Disney as an intern came distributor is Disney plus Hulu and ESPN plus right those are it's three major streaming services and traditional TV businesses being shrunk rapidly that's for Disney's putting all its efforts and a lot of films such as going there as well so that if that is the future of Disney but yet the one business they have it certainly not shrinking is the one that's cheapest and overseeing which is part of the consumer products right while all traditional entertainment is being disrupted people still love to go to theme parks and Disney theme parks are more successful than ever these days I want to buy the toys as well so that's sort of the more traditional side of the business that is not being transformed by digital technology I think you can make the argument that theme parks have what's known in business as a wide moat there not a lot of competitors to theme parks but there is something called the corona virus and there are problems that theme parks and cruise lines of which Disney has a cruise line are also facing pressure so what is that business look like going forward and what does it tell us about how Disney values theme parks that Bob Chapek will be running the whole company well listen I think in the short run it's not a great moment to be running theme parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong is Disney does and to have cruise ships so that businesses under pressure right now but I you know presuming I hope we do get the fire under control I think everybody within these businesses will continue to be successful if they have been and you know popped out to tech has by all accounts and done a very good job running those businesses and he generated a lot of profit for the people to the company if that's that you set up for a lot of the revenue and profits comments you know streaming is the future of streaming is a money losing business for now and I think you know with disappointment Disney's kind of saying yes stream is important part of our future but Disney is still a company that that it that it's hard to it's about the experiences people have in our theme parks Bob I will leave a great track record I think the Disney company is a very impressive guy in person a great public speaker there's been some speculation about him running for political office do you think that's potentially part of his future anything's possible right I think you know as he's publicly said that he toyed with the idea of running for president this year and he decided it wasn't right for him but he's you know very politically active Democrat I would not be surprised if he's hoping that you know if the next president is a Democrat that he might you know have some kind of a role in it in an administration I think that's something he would probably love to do it with fifteen profile very well well I'm gonna assume he's not jumping in this year it feels like we really don't need another billionaire and the rice then Fred's is the west coast bureau chief for the wallstreet journal band thanks so much for going
