Why Every Private Club Should Have a Pro-Member Tournament
"I'm getting at here is every single club, private club should have a pro member tournament. That was a blast. It was only one day, but Meredith and nailed it. They did. The food was good. The beer was called the day was perfect. There's a little side pot for the pros, 18 pros. It went fast. That was one of the faster rounds I've ever played out there. And it was a good time. It was cheap to play in. The pros played, I don't know what we got. I don't know what I got for winning it. It hadn't showed up yet. I'm not sure I have no idea. It doesn't matter. I mean, it was free for me anyway, right? The member paid for it. Pros, you invite who you want to play with. We had a good field. You came at there's a guy named Tom Whitney. I think someone said he played on the corn ferry tour. Last year or two years ago, Clark Dennis plays, he's a senior tour player guy. Anyway, it was a great time. I think pro members, I don't know what red feathers plans are for pro member. But I think every, you know, a good club should have a pro member. If you have a bunch of guys with relationships with professionals and members that want to play with professionals on and off day, it's a no brainer. For a club.

Ellen Pompeo Leaves 'Grey's Anatomy' After 19 Seasons
"By she, I mean Ellen Pompeo, the actress who's now said goodbye to working on gray's anatomy, who was it 19 seasons playing Meredith grey on the ABC show? So it's 2022, so 19 years ago, we're talking 2002, 2003, actually. Why is he why are you a little bit freaked out? I'm not freaked out by it. I see what Ellen has turned into. She's always like a pretty, pretty girl. Kind of sexy ish and a little elfin way. If you understand, but you know, most of you, some of you know that I go way back with Ellen Pompeo. We used to live in the same building in the west village of Manhattan. Greenwich Village, west village, and it was great building a lot of people there. Amber Valletta Courtney Love Drew Barrymore, which is the end of the guy from American history X Ed Norton, jodeci, the group, oh, great building. Great people in Nam was a lot of fun being in the elevator, being in a lobby and seeing people come and go. Ellen Pompeo lived with a guy in that building who was a photographer. They weren't getting along too well. And, you know, she would come to my room because we knew each other and she'd bring a bottle of wine and nothing went down, nothing no sex, something like that, but she'd bring a bottle of wine, it takes some glasses out and would have some wine and talk and she'd tell me about her situation or problems how she wasn't getting along with that guy and she really wants to act and she's taking acting classes and nothing's happening. Blah, blah, blah. In fact, then I was the guy who was getting work and doing things. So Ellen would like come to my apartment to talk about the industry and stuff because I was going to LA every couple of weeks to do stuff and write my column and eventually I said, you know, when I go to LA, would you mind watching my dogs and watering my plants? I'm only leaving for like three days top. She goes, I would love to. I said, if you're having a problem with the guy, just sleep here, sleep in my bed. Really say, you know, can't you sleep in a bed? So she would sleep in a bad one of my plants walk my dogs, boom. She blew up. She did a movie, was it old school? Which was a nice part, and then forget it. Bang up. Right? To graze anatomy, know, well, maybe not all of you know how much money she makes, but I think almost $20 million a season. Ellen cleaned up, not bad, not bitter, but when you're in this business, there are some people who fly by you and there's like nothing you could say, like it just happens, you know? Like, wow. That really happened to her career. She went, she got that famous that quickly. Yeah, she did. 19 seasons and done. She never has to work another day in her life. Of course she will. But never has to.

"Which 20,000 employees, protested the company's handling of sexual misconduct. Meredith also protested the company's work on military contracts before ultimately leaving Google in 2019. Now she's at signal, which is a little different than the usual big tech company. It's operated by a nonprofit foundation, and it prides itself on collecting as a little data as possible. For that reason signal is popular with journalists with activists, people who care about their privacy, signal even popped up in the Elon versus Twitter trial, because Elon was using it. But messaging apps, especially encrypted messaging apps, are a complicated business. Governments around the world really dislike encrypted messaging. And often push companies to put in backdoors for surveillance and law enforcement. Because yeah, criminals use encrypted messaging for all sorts of deeply evil things. But the thing is, there's no half step to breaking encryption. You either have it or you don't. So companies like signal often find themselves in a difficult position of refusing to help governments. You might recall that Apple has refused to help the FBI break into iPhones, for example. I want to know how that tradeoff plays out, it signals much smaller scale and with signals much more idealistic mission. Then there's just a basic reality of messaging apps. You have to get users. You have to have enough people on the platform so that the network is really valuable. So you choose signal to message someone instead of something else. You have to add features, you have to have customer support, the whole thing. Signal just added stories, like every other app in the world. I wanted to know how they generate ideas like that without being able to track any user behavior. And I want us to know how the fight to take users from Apple's iMessage and meta is WhatsApp is going. Other companies like Google have struggled mightily to compete after all. Signal just dropped support for SMS on Android, and we talked about that tradeoff and what it means for users. And if the company can support the new RCS standard, the Google is pushing quite hard. Lastly, we talked about Meredith's biggest decision as president, helping to hire a new full-time CEO for signal. And of course, I asked why she's not just taking the job herself. This is a really good episode with a lot of decoder themes in the mix. Honestly, we have to start doing checklists or something. Okay, Meredith Whitaker, president of signal. Here we go. Meredith Whitaker, you are the president of signal. Welcome to decoder. Thank you. It is wonderful to be here.

A Look Back at Gibson's Bakery V. Oberlin College
"I want to talk in this segment about how oberlin college is now trying to avoid or doing its best to delay. Paying the Gibson's bakery, the $31 million that oberlin owes the bakery. For what? Well, basically for destroying the bakeries reputation for accusing the bakery of being racist from organizing marches against the bakery for discouraging the oberlin community. Remember oberlin is the sort of elephant or giant power in the town of oberlin, Ohio. So you had this bakery, Gibson's bakery. They were doing normal business and then what happened was some students, a black student. In fact, at oberlin, was trying to steal a bottle of wine and they caught him and they chased him out of the store. Do of his female friends then show up and get into a physical fight with the owner, so one of the owners and the police are called and that's what they see. These bodies of the thief trying to beat up the owners of the store. Now the shoplifters eventually plead guilty. And but a bunch of oberlin students, you know, white students, the progressives, decide to launch a protest. And they accused the bakery of racism, but the interesting thing is that oberlin school, sides with the students, the vice president of oberlin, a woman named Meredith, raimondo, hands out flyers. She's at the protest, accuse accusing the bakery of being bigoted. And the bakery suits the bakery goes you've ruined us and it isn't just you in the sense this wasn't just a voluntary student protest. You, the university, oberlin college, organized it, and you were a part of it in your dean was out there handing out flyers and the bakery one.

"We do live in the fourth dimension. We're just kind of constrained on one axis there. But yeah, then she'll go straight to the 5th dimension. And she doesn't talk about like a tesseract or bending spacetime. Or anything like that. It's just this higher vibration. She'll use that phrasing. But shouldn't we all be trying to get to the zero dimension where you're not aware of self and you're not aware of time, isn't that what they're usually going for? That'll be Kerry's talk at the next conscious life expert. Guys, back up. Ask for me. Yeah, she constantly refers to the 5th dimension. And it's become, I think, a buzz term amongst this crowd, which we saw Deborah king would talk about the 5th dimension and scaling to the 5th dimension and scalar energy. There's so many of these terms that get thrown out. But yeah, definitely, it's one that Kimberly Meredith invokes constantly. There was a woman who had given a talk that I was in just before this who was a riot. I can't wait to tell you about her. She was in the audience here. Oh, great. And that's always interesting for me. You walk out of a room where someone is like, I am the show leader here. I'm the authority. I'm the big figure. You all came to see me. I'm the spiritual leader. And now they go to see someone else. Now going sit down in my little seat? Yeah, and she was very loud and vocal in participating in this. So I would kind of hear a little things coming out of this other presenter. But I always think that's interesting. Like, oh, okay, it's almost like kind of a humbling move. I could feel like some of these speakers saying, well, I don't need to go to anybody else's talk. I'm 6th dimensional. Yeah. Something like that. Anyways, she was there that was interesting. When I got there at 8 O 7, there were 36 people. I think more started to come in, but this was a large big crowd. Yeah, but it was a big ballroom. This was one of their biggest spaces in the la Jolla. Oh, okay. You and I would see something else later there. Okay. And I saw Linda monton how there. Okay. Yeah, you and I were there once and it was as packed as I saw anything at that conference. So yeah, this was a much humbler gathering. Still decent crowd, though. Yeah, and I think that's why they were doing a little bit of that. Okay, well, thank you all for coming here and not going to the cacao ceremony. That sounds really interesting. So yeah, she talked it a little bit about her backstory, which is that she had a near death experience, which sounded truly horrifying like she was just standing on a sidewalk and a truck came by some sort of SUV and it had something wrong with its door and the door like flipped open and hit her. Oh, okay. Which I think is how she described it in the book. But it's interesting, my thought had always been that she started doing the rapid eye blinking thing after that. But in the book she talks about having rapid blinked as a child. Child. She does explain this in places maybe she didn't during that talk. But that was a gift she had as a child, so it was a natural gift. That went away and then when she had this accident, it came back. She hadn't really remembered she'd done it before, but when it happened, her mom was like, oh, you used to do that when you were a kid. I don't know if it was actually the same thing. And she wasn't able to work as she was recovering, but she found that people started asking for her services because she had just kind of nonchalantly mentioned something about someone else and someone had come to her and asked for a prayer and she prayed over them and then they had this great healing and they came back to her and said, oh, you need to see people and she started practicing reiki and she was using cold laser therapy for a while. All right, cold lasers. That's right. She's into that. Forgot about that. There's so much stuff with this woman. Yeah. Which is wild. She wrote a book about COVID when COVID was a pretty new idea. I mean, to the average person. Not ten years. But she wrote a book about COVID, where I think she talked about that a little bit also. Cool. Anyways, so she started realizing this ability that she had as a healer and that these eye blinks of hers that were coming back were in the 5th dimension at this higher frequency. It was this manifestation of her connection to Holy Spirit, which as far as I can tell seems to be interchangeable with the 5th dimension. Yeah, she also has guides in the 5th dimension to speak directly to her. Why not? As she's saying all this, she's already kind of blinking regularly like someone would if they're, I don't know, their eyes feel dry. Yeah. You just need to moisturize. Because it's like, she doesn't blink hard the way you would expect. And bewitched or I dream of Genie, right? Who blinks Genie, Genie and I dream of Jeannie. It's not like that. But fluttering of the eyes. But yeah, yeah. It's not quite like a normal blink either. And if we don't have enough spiritual modes in one woman, the book that she wrote, she channeled, and at the beginning she lists whoever it is that she's channeling. Oh my God, I missed this. Okay. I know that she channels, but I didn't know that she was channeling in the writing of the book. I did notice she talks about herself in third person a fair amount. Right. But she's also telling her life story in the book. What? What do you mean your channel? Maybe it's like the Bible and God is there guiding her hand. Okay. Yeah. Sure. It's like the Bible. Of course, she's promoting her book, but she's also saying that since she started the book hundreds of additional people have been healed through her. Blinking and diagnosis. How wonderful. And because we're all kind of culturally, I guess we're all approaching the 5th dimension. Like you said, kind of like age of Aquarius. There's more healings going on in general, but she is a great conduit of this. She can also heal people en masse. Like just people and I asked her why she doesn't just walk into the COVID ward then and do that. And she said she's not interested in that. Why is she not interested in that? Great question. She just callous. I think so. Okay. This was an interesting statement. She said that we're all going to need to be moving forward in the next four years into the 5th dimension. Or in ten years, it's all over. Oh my God. So it's like girl. What are you saying? So if we don't achieve the spiritual collective goal in the next four years, we're all doomed in ten years. Yeah, okay, hang on. I gotta put that in our calendar. Okay, so in ten, okay, ten years, that's February 20 32. She said, or in ten years, it's all over. What date was this that she gave it? February 4th? Okay, February 4th 2032. Okay, Kimberly Meredith said that what is it if we don't move forward? Yeah, so we're going to move into the 5th dimension within the next four years or in ten years, it's all over. Okay, you're really Meredith said that it's all over by this date.

Monday Night Football (MM #3904)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. Back in the 1970s, when ABC created Monday Night Football, with Howard Cosell and Don Meredith and Frank Gifford, it was all the rage it was revolutionary. It changed the game of professional football. I talked a couple of months ago where I thought the game of well, not just professional football, but sports broadcasting in general changed thanks to the new mega cast that ran most Mondays on ESPN2. That's Peyton Manning and his brother Eli, basically, while hosting a party, I guess you'd say, with guests popping in and out and kind of talking about the game, we're watching the game, but it's not really the play by play, and I kind of don't know what to do with myself tonight because they're not on. They're not on every game this season. They're not hosting every game, but I found that I watch more Monday Night Football now than I ever have in my entire life. And that includes years where I had to go host Monday Night Football parties when it worked in radio. It's changed the way I watch sports. And again, I've watched more Monday Night Football this year than I have in well forever. I think it's going to change a lot of things. It'd be interesting for me to see NASCAR kind of try the same thing.

If wendy heard it from giselle instead of ashley i think i know that zell was being messy by bringing it up to the group as a whole which is you know part. That's what she does. You have to accept people where they are she's messy. I do think that it might have been received better like as an iota. Better if she had gone directly to wendy. But you know. I still think that wendy was shocked. I've said many times before that. I don't think that wind. I think wendy thought that she was immune from gazelles tirades in her attacks and her her per foolishness. By the way speaking of foolishness.

Black bravo brat tweeted meredith. How do you respond to fans. Who are you that. Even though jen was wrong brooks is also an adult who consented to being on the show and poked at gen as well so i have quite a few things to say about that for starters. You know we get both sides. Everyone says we'll brooke should stat of grownups business. And then he's an adult. Which is it. Pick your pick your poison one way or the other. I'm kind of tired of hearing both sides of it at the end of the day the whole thing came about because gen repeatedly showed her vagina in my home after being told by two assistance to cover up all he said was he was uncomfortable and that was it. He shouldn't have felt uncomfortable saying that. He was uncomfortable because she kept doing it after being told. Okay regina away candice boy. You have pissed a lot of people off this everybody. Are you aware. Are you aware i mean. I'm a mess on twitter. Of course aware disaster disaster ever. I had to have a similar con- conversation with miss jane the other day. I'll listen my hero. That things trolls the people know. But but we got this a lot for you. Why is it appropriate to body. Shame women let alone one. The jess gave birth jacqueline. Jay said calling a women. That's breastfeeding and pumping milk made. It's not only an insult to the thousands of women who may have breastfed their babies. For centuries it's an insult to any woman that struggled to get pregnant longs for chance to have that experience with their child today well yes body shaming as a whole is not a good thing it's unhealthy and before. I say that i will say this. Yes what i said if it offended ashley. I apologized for it because it was not meant to ailing. If i offended because i don't know if she was offended okay but because she said that it was offensive. I wanted to make it clear that i was not referring to her postpartum body. I talk about her forehead her face the whole thing body shaming however. However if we're going to pick the pockets of kansas and my body shaming we must be on the table every time anyone on our show in any show has talked about saggy titties has talked about stovepipe legs has talked about flattering vaginas all body shaming but for whatever reason. Kansas is the only one who gets nailed to the cross. Let's work on that. Oh boy that's the apology. Well i apologize actually already matt repeating apology one apology. She got it. You got fascinating jay. What's snow your reaction to jen and lisa's conversation about you in tonight's episode. Is jen right in that. She's always apologizing. And do you think lisa had your back on your back. At least i have my back. I think lisa was trying in the best of her capacity. Given everything going on to make amends between me and jen and that was her her goal and his jen right that she's always apologizing. Jen says she sorry a lot. That's correct the problem with an apology. Is that you need to see the actions. Change along with the words and empty words. Don't do anything okay. Well meredith has dropped jen's friendship like she's whitney holding a birthday cake in a bikini but our good friend. Lisa barlow's still seems to all the candle for jan awkward.

"Than their male counterparts did. And so that also led to problems and disparity there, but after that first round, God bless the women's foundation of Arkansas. They saw the issue just like we did and we partnered up with them and they actually funded some women, which was an amazing thing to have that resource out there. They're still doing so many things and we keep working on trying to partner with them on things. If we can. Yeah. But they're based in Little Rock. They're based on Little Rock. Okay. And I've heard of the organization, but yeah, make sure we'll output a link in the show notes to the woman's foundation of Arkansas so that anybody listening to this knows how to reach out to those guys. They have been a resource for me for years because I do this tremendous research, unlocking at the economic indicators for women in Arkansas, but they've branched out, as they've been seen the numbers and started thinking, okay, how are we going to actually affect these numbers in a positive way? So they're doing great things and I'm glad that they are a good partner for us in Arkansas. They're that we did a seminar with them on just how to even get set up. As even a simple LLC that could then have an employee identification number and start looking at how can we get these women set up where they can think qualify for later rounds for PPP? Yeah. You know, and it's so funny as I'm listening to you talk about that. And you know, you think, I think, you know, one person's knowledge may not be somebody else's knowledge. And I know a lot of times like I've started a number of businesses and there's just certain things that I learned early on to do, right? But then you kind of take it for granted that you just assume everybody knows to do that. Or this is just par for the course, but it really isn't, you know, and that is the challenge that, especially that women face is just not having that lack of information and clarity about the proper steps to get set up and run a business the way that it needs to be run. Not that guys do it any better because guys struggle too in this area. I think cream always rises to the top, but the bottom line is that we suffer from a lack of information and also a lack of examples that we can look to and say, oh, okay, I saw Meredith do it with her business. I'm going to do the same thing. Exactly. And those examples, I mean, that's been the major thrust for woman run, we have speakers that are our examples of, okay, here's a successful way to run a salsa company in sullen to big box retail. Here's a successful way to start athletic headbands, company, and then sell it and move on to your next visit. So we try and have those success stories. But then we also try and talk frankly about failures and not even necessarily failures. It felt like a failure at one point in time, but time is then led to the fact of, oh, but I still learned from that. Yeah. It's not really a failure. I'm still here. I still have a business and I'm still moving along my family's good and there's food on my table. Yeah. Absolutely. And you're absolutely right. I mean, I always tell people, that's why it's so important to kind of have a mentor, somebody that's been down the road that you're going down, even if they're just a few steps ahead of you, maybe they've endured some pitfalls that you might be running into and making at least alert you to them and make you aware of them, but too often people are kind of, you know, and for those of you that you can't none of you can see this, but I'm just going to walking like I'm trying to feel my way through the dark and I'm not quite sure what I'm going to encounter. And that's how a lot of us are when we're in business and especially women when they're running their business. There's just nobody there to either grab the hand or to say, hey, I've got you or look out. There's something coming up up here that you're going to have to deal with, but it's okay because this is how you deal with it. And then you can, once you overcome that, then you just keep moving forward. And a lot of women when they start their business, it's that side hustle situation for it's in the home. So many women owned businesses are still in the home, but if they're struggling, it's really easy to then say I'm going to stop. Right. And that the benefit for women in this business is it is one of those mechanisms towards wealth generation. Sure. And we see across Arkansas, that's one of the best ways for women to succeed is having a business to then generate that wealth. It's a different situation than just working in a traditional employee situation. Right. And you know when you think of that and I remember I shared an article with you from LinkedIn that was sent out a while ago and it was kind of depressing to read and it talked about how according to the report by the national women's law center, women lost 5.4 million net jobs since February of 2020. That's a lot of I mean. One of the job reports was so horrible. I can't remember the exact number, but it was along the lines of that there had been 200,000 jobs lost and 15,000 gained, but the 15,000 were all men. Right. So all the job losses that report were controlled by women. And it was about the time in the pandemic when everyone started returning to school. And that was the other aspect of the pandemic. The caregivers, the people, either with children or parents that needed care, most of that was shouldered by women, and thank goodness I have a job that art when we were already at home anyway, but I can't imagine for the women that couldn't work from home or just had a lot of clients that they themselves couldn't go out and work. So how are we going to generate income other than starting your own business? Right. And you mentioned you shared some a number of statistics in one of the biggest things was where in the state of Arkansas is the highest increase in women owned business, which I was kind of surprised to hear is on the eastern side of the state. And in the delta. So in I'd love for you to kind of talk a little bit about that, you know, and just so that we here.

And then the other one is is like a gross trumper elliott. You think anyone of these people are listening to this. Because that's calling people out i would. I would be stunned if they owned computers. I would be stunned if these people that might. My dad has a sister who lives in arizona. Who time was going through. Some crazy stuff. And i just i don't know we we're we're not the odds vaults and runfola are not a close knit clan. Just sort of we we we. We spun and then we spread stick. Together is a very close knit family. Very very quick. So that's what i was gonna ask. What is that like pan. Did you start to find like myself. We like we like our parents but we're not like super close to them and we found more connection with our friends. Did with our families love my parents so close in but also my parents are at an age where it's hard for them to travel so i think them coming up for a wedding. Was there last clip out here. It was unspoken but like we're not doing this again. Y- live here and are so flipping cool and i'm with them. Basically every sunday and really alice's obsessed with them and yet we have a great this family affair it so foreign to me. I always like we all even when you were younger because you've started acting as a teen. I started when i was eight eight. Okay well honey. I imagine it was a very dramatic time a teen young actor. You're like running around going at his auditions. Did i get it did i. Not now. I gotta go be on set with these adults who might be creepy. But that's not for. I didn't feel like that. It didn't feel like that. It just felt lake like just you know some kids play soccer after school. Like i just wouldn't go to school. And i'd go to the set so it didn't feel like i still. I still had all my best friends. I still hung out with all the kids in my neighborhood. I still. it didn't feel. I don't know i handled it pretty well. My parents are normal people with real jobs and the real professional people and this was just something. I wanted to do that. They supported it. Wasn't it didn't feel crazy. It's also i assume normalized out here. Whereas like i grew up in pennsylvania and it's just like no. That's not a thing right here it's like. Yeah obviously this is a possibility and and probably an attainable possibility. If you're photogenic and have charisma you that much charisma but when you have it in spades. It's just given to you left. Yeah no it's you and your family you hang out every sunday you're like hanging out talking about life. I guess what now he's trying to get. What is it like not to have emotional damage handed down to you. Yeah yeah. I mean there's a little bit i mean a tiny tiny bit of like you know when you open the door when you're home from college and your mom gives you that look and they look means. Oh my god. You're so fucking fat. What happened to you and you say mom. I know what you're doing. And she goes what. I didn't say i know what you're saying. I didn't say anything. And you're like i know i'm fat. You don't have to tell me anything. You gave me the look very real very accurate but my mother would say it like. She's my mom would say at two but she'd also give you that horrible that set it all i know she's she's very much like she'll give a look and then just in case you weren't going what that look was you get fat and it's the best part is she likes the phrase things of the question as though she's giving you time to account for your failing and and then she says stuff like you know what i've been doing lately is walking and eating really healthy start saying things thinking that you'll like not what she's trying to say but actually be like. Oh that sounds like a great idea. Mind do that with you. Get some emotional damage. There's a little. oh wait meredith. you raised jewish. Yeah are you still jewish. Of course like go to temple. Jewish like or like me where i fast on yom kippur and that might be the limit i had. I went to temple. When i was little and i went to all my friends. Bombardments fezzan love them and my parents. We have passover at my parents house. But it's like funny passover because my dad is like i want to tell you what my dad is like but the examples i'm gonna use. Maybe aren't the best example but in the old days they used to be. My dad is a mixture of dr huxtable and chevy chase from caddyshack. He's not bill cosby right right. Yes and so. He's a jokester and we'd have bill cosby funny. Just jovial. they're fun they're fun. Guys all right anyway gone so we have passover but like it's a but we make we make it fun like know why this night do we leave the four questions. He did like the four questions from Monty python and the holy grail. He's like what is your favorite color yellow nobu that movie but he would just bill. Cosby's voice like deporting. Bob footing rudy as the only black person. I felt i should take it. Good okay totally pivoting away. Because i'm so curious because you let's talk about. I mean you joked about it. You know getting married at one hundred forty seven. It's my question of sort of like when you do when you do meet somebody older when you're like i am settled in like this is who i am. This is my routine. This is how i approach life. I imagine it's like you either. Click or you. Don't like for instance. I think andy and i we met in our early twenty my mid twenties like in new york. We're like what is comedy. Let's find a dream. We felt like we really kind of growing up together. Oh y'all were already grown. You know what i mean like. You had a shot was he was he was married. He had a child he'd done all that. And i still was living the life of a you know. A swinging. Single settled been married okay. So you're okay you're okay so tell me everything. Tell me how you knew as a grown woman. One hundred forty seven years young young and these streets. How did you because well first of all. I dated everyone on the planet. I i had so many fabulous crazy adventure boyfriends never anyone. You'd wanna bring home to your dad but definitely fun adventures. So i think i got all that craziness out of my system and then i was single for a really long time and i was always with my friends and their kids. And i'm like anti-american jordan era. I have like tons of kids in my life. That i'm obsessed with and i was super just loving my life and and then patent and i met well we we. We met over facebook on a text thread. A friend of ours invited us to dinner party and he didn't end up going but it was on a text thread with like twelve people and the day after. I was like great dinner party. Dude you miss the best fucking lasagna. And he happened to be online at the same time and we started deming each other back and forth and then continued that for like three months two hours every single night. So i got to know him. I wasn't like trying to date him. He wasn't trying to date me. We were just talking like real people and then we like fell in love and then it was all freaked out like what happens when i meet him in person. I'm probably not going to like him. Because i know me and i hate everybody and i met him and i was here so cute like was there a moment and also to questions you were both public personas. Yeah like you knew each other. I assume as public personas before you met you. We knew of each other. I mean it wasn't like we were a couple of connections friend. Wise on the outer orbits of our friend groups. But we didn't really know like i wasn't am i if you're sitting public persona a comedian. Who tells jokes.

In 'Stillwater,' an American Oil-Rig Worker Seeks to Exonerate His Daughter
"It's a familiar story. The stereotypical American goes abroad crass and brutally honest, but with a heart of gold, who breaks all kinds of rules to save the day. But while the new movie still Water may wink at this formula, it has its own story to tell about America's place in the world. You're innocent, so we gotta keep fighting. It doesn't matter that I'm innocent Dad. It's not about justice about finding peace. That's Matt Damon as Bill Baker, a former oil rig worker who travels to Marseilles, France, to see his estranged Daughter, Alison, played by Abigail Breslin. She's in prison accused of the murder of a local French Arab girl, but claims to be innocent, and Baker struggles with the unfamiliar language, culture and legal system as he attempts to free her The movie is out now in theaters and its director is Tom McCarthy, who won the Academy Award for best original screenplay for Spotlight in 2016. I began by asking him if the real life case of the murder of MEREDITH Kercher, which sent American Amanda Knox to an Italian prison in 2000, and seven before she was eventually acquitted. Inspired this film. I would say the seed was there. I started the script 10 years ago, Really? And I was sort of fascinated with that case, particularly the idea of An American student being imprisoned and then ultimately focusing on the relationship between as you point out her and her estranged father. So it started there and worked on this first draft of the script with another writer, and I just got into a place where it just was straight up thriller. I just felt it lacked dimension and Maybe authenticity, and I sort of put it down. I made the decision is director not to pursue it. Put it in a drawer for about 67 years and I picked it up again and I re approached it sort of from Page one with two new French writers. And we really talked right off the bat with Tamar. But again, in the way Debray about exploring the sort of you know all the dimensions of this story, the human dimension of it. The thriller Dimension suspends

CDC: Data Shows Vaccinated People Can Spread the Delta Variant
"The delta variant at the same rate as the unvaccinated. The White House is trying to make sure that people who are vaccinated don't spread variants of this virus to those people who have yet to get the shot. The CDC, of course, dealing with all this new guidance that's been coming out ever since. The Delta variant has really dominated what's going on in hospitals nationwide. It's essentially recommending millions of people, regardless of vaccination status. Now we're mass endorsed. But remember, this is not a federal order. Instead, it's up to states and individual cities to decide how to proceed. The CDC says its recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit the virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immuno compromised. Loved ones.

The Impossible Disappearance of Brian Shaffer
"Brian disappeared on purpose. Theory hinges on the fact that his friend. Clint is seen on camera heading back toward the ugly tuna selena where he claims. He looked for brian in the bathroom. Before rejoining meredith a few minutes later out in front of the bar but unless clinton managed to help pull off an incredibly risky and elaborate disappearance in the span of five minutes. Scenario is unlikely and if. Clint wasn't helping. Brian run away from his life. Why was the only person involved in this whole thing who refused to cooperate with police. Some people close to. Brian have questions about clint brian's brother and his father in law to be have publicly stated that they believe clinton knows more than he's saying even the detective currently working on the case told a reporter and twenty twenty that he believes someone interviewed in the past has withheld information. The detective wouldn't give the name of the person he was talking about. But who could have been other than clint right. And that makes sense. If anybody knows something about brian schafer's disappearance it's clint. He was with brian all night. And he was the last one to see brian. Person according to police clinton's the only person to refuse a polygraph test and almost immediately following the disappearance. Clint lawyered up so what is cling to hide. Maybe nothing maybe. He's just making the legally sound decision on the other hand. Let's say clinton is hiding something. There's two roads that could lead us down. The i is it. Clint is such a loyal friend. That after helping. Brian run away. He put his own security at risk by refusing to tell the police when questioned. The other road is more sinister in this scenario. Clint killed brian or at the very least knows who did

You know it wouldn't be like like. I'm not putting the onus on you guys but here we are doing it right so i was smart enough to get into a job. That gives me what i need but i don't always seek out. That was the thing. I was going to say when i said what i like about your podcast that you're not just holding your microphone and sitting on this couch but it's sort of like because we're just sitting on this couch it feels like we're having plans and and it's like clams like we plan to. Do you wanna hang out like hey like in like when you're young and you're like hey what are you doing. Nothing you wanna hang out. Sure come and you guys just hang out people. Just hang out. Remember that in the basement hang out with there was a super nintendo. But it's all an excuse to be together. Kids get that's right right time. You're just half the time when we get together for dungeons and dragons sitting there gossiping about stuff that can i. Yeah dungeons and dragons is the phrase. It's all an excuse to be together. Became an event like men who watch sports women can go and have lunch together and chat over lunch and dinner and guys. It seems like you may want to come over the game and you're just sitting having chips and drinking beers but you have a re- you have some. You're scared to look at each other. Maybe and have those chatty chatty. I was always trying to bring. Chatty chatty fenway right but but all you boys are together watching the game and at least you go juicy that and then you can talk about your locked into the same thing right a talking about. We are what we see. We are what we see together. And that's why like live comedy life theater. These things can feel much more. Mythical more mystical. Yeah because you're all agree you're conspiring. I've said this a million times but the audience is a group of individuals conspiring to become an audience that merges with the performer. And then you conspire together to become something we call the show. That's wound go death. That's transformation yeah. That's that's one of my favorite moments wrote about this in my second memoir. Go to go into the new beverly. I'm starting second one called. I forgot some stuff. Yes oh there's way way.

Volunteers come and just touched them all day. So them grow yeah or else they don't grow. Yeah you know there's always. I'm really glad that we feel like we're on the beginnings of a being very open about medication therapy mental health. I the years that i resisted going on antidepressants and going to therapy. Because i bought into that fucking myth. And i think a lot of this came out all comedy because of the kind of figures that we worshiped. Which is we're trying to beat. You gotta be tormented to be funny. Yeah like if i would. If i take prozac what am i going to have to be talking about right. No you and by the way every all these people that we that we worshiped that we're all tormented and mostly drunks and drug addicts. Why do you think they were drinking and taking drugs right right. Who tried to improve their moods. They could create things like the whole idea. They just didn't have write access to the talk therapy and stuff that we had there. So i yeah and i remember so clearly. I've always remember this. When i when i finally did go into therapy because i was like having a nervous breakdown in my in my late twenties and i called my mom and dad and talk to them and suck. My dad was a marine for twenty years and it was like i just feel so weak that i make them like. I'm going to therapy. You know and i just feel so weak like you never went to therapy humphrey. Bogart never did therapy. And my dad said no humphrey. Bogart never did therapy. He also smoked a carton of cigarettes a day right. Which is that was him doing. Therapy abbott. right. You know so so. Do you want to smoke a cart cigarettes a day or do you want to go to therapy and liberal light. Just like oh wow. So he was doing pull ups when he told you that spill over tripwire explosions in the background. But what kind at. I just see all these things like that song. They did on crazy ex girlfriend.

Take your meds. You can keep doing creative stuff. I it sounds like you. You don't need this. But i love this when i my wife left me when i was twenty eight my first wife obviously and that was really sad and i was talking to millennia and i was like well. Shouldn't i be funny. I was like. I'm not funny like i wasn't fun i could. I could fake stand up for seven minutes even like the week she left me. I could go up. And i wanted to go do the rhythm to do the rhythm here the laughs and to kind of feel a little bit normal but i got off stage and i was just wearing another dentist reference for your dad but wearing the weighted lead jacket that no one can see like. You're just really heavy. And i said i thought all this stuff was supposed to make us funny in malaysia. Goes pain gets in the way it was like so there you have it. Good mullany great rid of the pain. But that's all get rid of all of the best stuff that i wrote in for katie to animate so trump my My special annihilation which was about the death of my wife and losing her in becoming a widower. But i wasn't really able to start writing and putting that special together to do properly until you process met at nonprofit meredith. No you wrote annihilation before. Well i wrote a lot of it. But i wasn't able to make it funny until i had some frigging joy. Yeah of course you know what i mean like. There was that as everyone. He wrote that totally paint. I wrote all. I wrote down all the incidents i wrote down all the reality of what happened but i wasn't able to start of corn until i met and by the way it was it wasn't even it wasn't even me necessarily falling in love. We we met and just talked for three months on on facebook. We just texted. We didn't even talk on the phone and just having someone to talk to every night and going. Oh there's there's intelligent cool. This is an having someone to talk to in the dark at the end of the day. That's what set me back on the path to where i needed to be so you all and i saw so many people during the comedy boom and this is the sound really mean but it was true. What you were saying. You would see a lot of these young comedians going. I had a horrible childhood. I should be hilarious like sometimes you have a terrible tout and it doesn't make you funny and there's other people who've had you know zach. Galifianakis had the most wonderful family at the most wonderful upbringing. And he's a he's brilliant. Feted you know and and and and you know people like david cross and lorikeet had nightmare. Childhoods also brilliant. But just because you have one of the other doesn't guarantee you the you know what i mean. That's so and you would see a lot of people coming to that realization and was it felt really tragic like you almost wanted to go. They deserve to have something. What the hell sometimes. That's not what it is absolutely well. i think. Probably a bell curve for me. And i'd love to hear what you think about this. It's like to me. It was a desire to connect you were saying connecting with people and as an actor you can relate. I'm sure i felt as a kid. I was like i'm not getting from the little. Hey how you doing. The fifty percent eye contact and the glazed overlook look like. I'm not getting enough. I want the hard stuff i want to know. And it's not just that they're listening to me but when three hundred people are listening to me. We're all listening to the same thing. There's like a united ryan concrete association of the moment. So maybe when i was younger it was like oh. They're all listening to me now. I just like that. We're all of one mind. That's why if you patent and allison. I'll watch movies together and there's nothing i hate more than during the movie if you like. Check your twitter because because it takes you out of that we're all in this whole. I understand that are in this room together. You get up to go to the bathroom and you don't posit. Why is that offensive. It's like we're watching glazier. I don't wanna wait. Yeah i want. I want us all in the same with. Can i tell you something. It's going to sound stupid column an epiphany. But it really wasn't epiphany i one of the last times i took mushrooms is i kept saying over and over. I don't know if you can remember this..

That i've spent with michelle's almost like michelle helped me recognize. That meredith was just the same kind of amazing you know. So why would that just because it came along a year and a half that it wasn't just you. It was alice to. Oh absolutely. I mean that she if she analysis hadn't gotten along i would not be with her and i thought like this is going to be my daughter. There is no you know a lot of people are like. Oh you're a step mom. And i'm thinking i'm a mom like there's no other no one else's her mom. She had a mom. But i'm her mom. No one's telling her to how to take a bath. Nobody's telling her to eat or vegetables. Nobody's teaching her about mean girls in school. There's nobody but me there's no. I'm not the stepmom. I'm the mom. And that might and i don't want that to sound to anyone related to michelle. How dare you because it's not. How dare you michelle's her. Mom michelle's her mom and her mom. I'm it's just the idea of stepmom to me feels very much like there's somebody else they go back to who has to teach them the real stuff and the step mom just chimes in occasionally like whatever but that's not the case. It's very much like she's my baby. And and one hundred percent feel ownership of her and and. I'm glad that i do. Because i don't wanna feel a disconnect. I want it to be as intense as it is and it is and we are inseparable and i love her and she's my she's my everything and you talk. I think i answered it. I'm the kind of girl that at my friend's weddings. I mean yes. I'm an actress and on camera. I can obviously do anything. But if i have to speak about the real things in my life i just if it's too intense for me i just can't actually verbalize it without starting to cry two of my best friends. We're like we speak at my wedding. And i had the best speech and i got up to speak and i was like my best and i burst into tears. I do this and then they go up to the brand new whisper much. This is what i wanted to say but in front of everybody because can't be. Yeah and that's how. I feel talk about alex literally. Just get too choked up to even finish the sentence patent.

What any sensible person in twenty twenty one would do. They decided to get some quality. Time in by making a podcast. Did you get my tax as a chance for meredith and patent to sit down and sort through the maelstrom of texts. They send each other each day. It's a moment to take a break from the agony of daily life.

This interview has plenty of jokes and goofing around but we also get into some more serious topics like dealing with grief in two thousand sixteen patent lost his first wife true crime writer and journalist michelle mcnamara quite suddenly. We thought we'd give you a heads up about that now. Let's kick things off with a clip from patent and meredith podcast. Did you get my text. here they're talking about why meredith won't ever get a facelift. We should cut this whole part of the podcast so that later in life when you haven't gotten a facelift people can go. What a brave choice she made. That's right you know what i'm bucking the system. Now if i get one my face will fall off my skull. I might go paralyze. Who's to say. I am afraid of medical procedures. I don't like iv's or anything like that. So maybe i wouldn't right. I can't anyway. But maybe i wouldn't make sure but i never will do that.

"Were a voice agency You know we call ourselves a full service voice agency because we we help our clients with education and strategy and creative and technical production and audio production creative production go to market strategy maintenance analytics partnership management so if an organization is interested in invoices a channel or a user interface than were or there. Were we kind of look at ourselves. Like a accenture or deloitte for us as touch point And started the company as as an innovation company working in a bunch of different technologies. And then we we. We pivoted to really hyper focusing on voice. You know probably three years ago And then you know. We've we've further kind of whittled down into a few different categories. We certainly work with a number of cpg clients because we we see a big growth in invoice commerce as many others do but we've also really doubled down on on and so that's why we've had the chance to work with meredith corporation the nba and potter more and warner music group and warnermedia. Hbo max and a number of different media companies. Because if you look at you know how people engage with voice a lot of it is media and entertainment and we talked to our clients a lot where we say you think about computers in nineteen ninety-seven think about mobile phones in two thousand seven people didn't get a smartphone in two thousand seven and then throw it out they just got the next one and it kept on permeating their house in their lives more and more and more so as soon as somebody adds voice device to their house. It's likely some small outliers gonna say that was that was weird and they and they turn it off and plug it but most people are going to be offloading more and more of their daily utility to those devices. So we say listen. If you know media and entertainment has really been at the forefront of every major digital We'll see voice any different so music and entertainment and streaming and games and news and and all of that we think voices a a really powerful user interface for

Climate Connections
95% of bull kelp forests have vanished from portion of California coast
"Until recently giants seaweed called bull kelp formed lush underwater forest in northern california's coastal waters. These kelp forests have long provide critical habitat for many species like salmon crabs and jellyfish. But now just a. Few patches of bulk help remain. It's very desolate looking. That's meredith mcpherson. Nephew see santa cruz. She was part of a team that studied satellite images of about two hundred miles of california coastline. They found that starting in twenty fourteen. The area covered by kelp dropped by more than ninety five percent. She says the die off was driven in part by an underwater heat wave which depleted nutrients in the water and made it harder for the kelp grow compounding. The problem populations of purple sea urchins which eat kelp have exploded in the region in coming decades. More marine heat waves are expected. We know that these types of events these warm water events and stronger el nino's going to become more common and frequent with climate change so mcpherson says warming waters and hungry urchins will make it harder for these kelp forest to survive.
