A highlight from Episode 377 - Artificial Intelligence and Operational Resiliency
"This is Jane Lo, and I'm at the Global Resiliency Federation office here in Singapore. And with me today, I'm very pleased and very privileged to have Mark Orsi, who is the CEO of GRF or Global Resiliency Federation, all the way from United States of America. So thank you, Mark, for your time today. Thank you for having me. And so Mark will be sharing with us the latest in terms of artificial intelligence, which is causing a lot of excitement nowadays, as well as the operational resiliency framework, which has been developed by GRF over the last year or so. So Mark, you know, give us a brief introduction about yourself and also GRF and what, you know, the organisation does. And I also understand that you're very passionate about AI. So tell us about the history of your career as well. Sure. So I started as an aerospace engineer many, many years ago. And after aerospace, I was in computer science and I was working on computer vision. So it's really been interesting to see the journey until today. But additionally, so the last 15 years or so, I've been in the financial services sector primarily and technology risk and cybersecurity. I worked at Goldman Sachs for about eight years, KPMG for a few years, JP Morgan for a few years. And then in the past four years, I've been at Global Resilience Federation and we're a non -profit. We manage and support 17 different sharing communities. ISACs, which are really information sharing and analysis centres, they're collective defence communities where organisations join together to help protect themselves against the various threats that are out there. And of course, you have your conference later in October, later this year in Texas. Yeah, Austin, Texas, October 11th through 12th. Anybody who's local or who wants to make the journey, please come. We also have an OTI set conference on September 6th coming right up. More local. But yeah, it's an iteration of it, sixth year running. And it's security and third -party risk. So we have practitioners, CISOs, third -party risk practitioners, business resilience practitioners. And we have a whole track on AI security. So we've worked for the last six months with 20 organisations on two papers. One is a CISO guide to AI security and one is a practitioner's guide. So let's start with AI, which is what gets people excited nowadays. So tell us, you've got a great vintage point from America, which is a leader in many ways when it comes to technology and innovations. So what is the conversation like in terms of the business use cases that you see in America? Sure, we're coming from a cybersecurity and resilience perspective. And so I was on a call, it was about a week and a half after ChatGBT was released in November of last year. A hundred different chief information security officers on the call, really all concerned about maybe business forging ahead without really taking any security considerations into play. But also about some of the major strengths that they could, how can we use this for good as well, right? How can we use it to find vulnerabilities? How can we use it to secure our code? So an example is one of the organisations had been using a tool like it to actually rewrite their code base and translate into different language, which added memory management to their code and then translate it back to the original language. And they were also using it then to multiply their developers time by tenfold, because they didn't have to write the test cases and additional code around developers. So there's plenty of benefits to it and there's plenty of risks, right? We need to think about the whole pipeline, whether we have in -house AI models or whether we're using third parties, there's different kinds of risks that we need to consider. There's also been a lot of talk of using AI large language models to do predictive diagnostics in healthcare, right? And GRF, of course, you have more than, what, 20 member organisations? It's 17 different ones, yes, 17. And one of them is Health iSAT, right? So talking to your member communities, do you see a difference in terms of the pace of adoption in terms of using AI? Yeah, absolutely. And so we worked with 20 different organisations, including some healthcare, some manufacturing, some energy and others, to put together a guide on AI security, both the practitioner guide and a CISO guide. And yes, there's different pace of adoption. There's organisations that have been using machine learning and AI for many, many years. And but with the advent of this generative AI, there's just a tremendous amount of concern and the pace of change is much more rapid. It used to be every year you'd have change and now it's every week. There's new things happening. So of course, artificial intelligence is not new in cyber security. How is this latest innovation of using large language models, how is that going to be different in terms of adoption in cyber security? I think you mentioned a few sort of like... I think some of the power of it is that ultimately, if you think about the resource limits that we have, there's always constraints on the number of resources that are available that are cyber focused and cyber educated. And so for us to take the power of some of those large language model generative AI and sort of multiply the efforts of the staff that we have, then we can also meet some of the needs that we have from a resource perspective. Also, I think ultimately we're going to get into very targeted threat intelligence to where it'll be based upon our own assets. So if you're an enterprise and you have specific assets and you have specific threats in your sector, then the intelligence that you're delivered would be very targeted to your organization specifically. So it's going to get much more powerful over time to give you tailored threat intelligence. Do you think that the rate of adoption on the cyber defense side is possibly faster than how the threat actors are adopting... Yeah, I mean, that's a big concern, right? I think probably we'll be behind the curve. All right, okay. I think there was even talk early on about just pausing the pace of developments, making sure that we have the regulatory framework so that we know how to do this ethically and responsibly. So I think from a machine learning perspective, we could be doing very well, but I think from a generative AI perspective, we may be behind the curve a little bit. So I think the complexity of attacks, I think we'll be putting essentially nation -state tools into every threat actor's hands. So I think it's a very sort of concerning few years as we work to try and match the pace of change. You think that is something that is quite realistic that will happen, or is it just kind of like a hype? Because there's some part that human developers or human threat actors are possibly a lot more sophisticated when it comes to developing the malware code. And you can kind of tell the difference between one that's generated by generative AI and one that's written by human developers. I'll give you an example of just a very personal use case. So I was working with my son just a couple of weeks ago, and we found an old Nintendo DS. And so he wanted to run videos on his old Nintendo DS. And so we used ChatGBT to learn how to hack into our Nintendo DS to make it display videos. So he never had any programming experience, but we were able to do this. So this is exactly what I'm like, you know, we can put these tools into everybody's hands. So how do we, you know, we need to be extra vigilant as this change happens. So what do you think is the immediate step that cyber defenders have to take in face of this threat? Well, I think there's a few things. Number one, we need to be moving forward to be using it in the right ways, to be using it from a defender perspective. So if it is helping us to find vulnerabilities quicker, if it's helping us to develop threat intelligence better, that's more tailored towards each individual organization. But also just from security and ethics perspective, there's all sorts of different attacks that can happen to those, whether it's on the input data, whether it's in the model itself, you can embed undetectable backdoors in these models. So if you're using a third party to develop your models, you need to be very concerned and maybe even have multiple models to compare the answers. Now, some people also say, right, let's just get the basics right, right? So for example, we'll get more sophisticated phishing emails, right? So that just means more awareness in terms of how to spot a fake email from a genuine email. So that's kind of like the basics that we need to sort out. Yeah, but it's also addressing all the different aspects of that. You know, I mentioned the models themselves. So protecting the models, protecting the data. You don't want data poisoning. You want to detect and monitor these things because they may evolve over time. And you need to be really concerned about your third parties because every third party is going to be introducing AI. So we talk about an AI bill of materials. So the same as you have a software bill of materials, we want to think about how can we develop an AI bill of materials? So how can you ensure that the training data and the model that's being used, right, how do we know which models we're using and which training data is being used? So if we find an ethical bias or we find some, let's say it was trained on a set of a code that had malware embedded in it or a set of code that had logic bombs in it, you don't want to embed logic bombs in your new code that you're writing by using these tools. So we need to make sure that the training data is clean. For example, let's just take the example of data poisoning, right? So that is perhaps, you know, looking at how you provide access levels to your data set. So it's not any difference from sort of the basic cybersecurity measures, right? Right. It's using some of the same constructs that you have across others. But one of the things that you need to be concerned about too, though, is these are dynamic, some of these are dynamic models. Right now, it's a very static world. We have these models that were trained in, you know, 2021 data, right? But in the near future, these things will be much more dynamic and actually responding to the inputs to change their behavior. So you'll need to be monitoring. Yeah, that's very different. Right, okay. So I think one final question on the copy of AI before we move to operational resilience framework. A lot of people say, right, AI is going to mean, you know, perhaps job losses, right? And how do you see that playing out in the cybersecurity field? So I'm, you know, concerned in general. I studied AI 30 years ago. I was concerned about it then. You know, I thought the first sort of impact would be with self -driving cars and in our transportation industry. I think it turns out that, you know, these models advanced very quickly, maybe quicker than people were expecting. But it's going to take a very long time for us to sort of digest that through all of our business models that we have right now. But I think it's going to multiply our efforts. I think cybersecurity is an industry where we're very resource constrained, where people, there's way more cyber resources are required than we have people. So it'll just multiply our capabilities and maybe meet the needs that we have. So I think that's a very positive thing. Ultimately, I think our economy will be changing in the next decade or two decades in different ways. And I think we can only imagine what those changes will be. Right. Okay. So talking about overcoming some of these challenges, it means like resiliency, right? So that plays into the next topic, operational resilience framework. So tell us what this resiliency means in the context of this framework and perhaps cybersecurity. So back in 2018, there was a paper from the Bank of England. So regulatory guidance on operational resilience and impact tolerance. And so it was really thinking about the potential systemic impacts of bank failures on customers and partners. And so the question was, well, how do we respond to that? What are the things that we need to do to ensure that we can continue to operate our critical services through a crisis, even if it's an impaired state? So we, Trey Moss, who is the CEO of Sheltered Harbor, it was an initiative from FSISAC to help protect consumer data. So if there was a bank failure or a bank disruption, you could still access your bank account information. So it would prevent sort of a run on the bank or this systemic impact from it. So we took that concept and Trey was always thinking, hey, we probably need to do more than just protect this little piece of data. It was in a distributed and immutable way that the different banks and the standard format that different banks could access. We need to also prevent the bank from failing its critical services. So we were working with him, Bill Nelson, who is the CEO of FSISAC for 12 years. And he's our board of directors. Trey and I, we met for about a year to say, well, what should we be doing beyond just protecting this little piece of information? What are those critical services that we need to protect? And we need to make sure that through a crisis they would operate, even if it's an impaired state. So we developed a path to operational resilience. We worked with 100 organizations and financial services regulators to develop a very simple path that was meant really for every industry, not just for financial services. And so it's a path of seven steps, 37 rules. We tried to make it very simple. It's aligned to NIST and ISO standards and extends existing business continuity and disaster recovery type standards and frameworks. It takes a holistic approach and really looking outward instead of inward on saying these are internal business services that we need to keep running. Those we call business critical services. Operations critical are those things that your customers and your partners depend upon. And so making sure that those continue to run through a crisis. If you have a wiperware attack, you have a ransomware attack, you have a data center fire, you want to make sure that your customers' critical services continue to function through that crisis. So take an example of, say, a ransomware attack. So attack ransomware hitting one of these industrial organizations, right? So how would this resiliency framework help, you know, plug some of the gaps? So what's interesting is we've done this very much from an IT focus. We want to extend it to an OT realm as well. So we'll be working with OT ISAC and manufacturing ISAC late this year, early next year, and we'll set up a working group to do that. But actually one of our first scenarios that we put out there, it's, you know, freely downloadable from our website, grf .org, is a scenario that we call it ACME pipeline. And it was essentially a replication of colonial pipeline incident to highlight the benefits of an operational resilient framework approach. And so we looked at, you know, what are those critical services from a pipeline? And it was really just delivering petroleum. So there are a bunch of regulatory responses they have to have. There's payroll, there's all these different systems. When it comes to what do you actually deliver to your customers and your business partners, it was just delivery of petroleum. So making sure that they could deliver petroleum through that crisis, if they had a ransomware attack or a wipe away attack, what are those things they needed to do to ensure, even if it's an impaired state, how do I deliver that to my high priority customers and my low priority customers and designing so that let's say I could only operate at 80 % capacity. Can I still provide service to my low priority customers or do I need to only provide service to my high priority customers? So understanding at what point do you cut off service or do you are you going to disappoint some people because it's no longer a service to them. Designing that into your system and pre -planning that is part of this framework. Right, yes, yeah. So it's kind of like looking at from a sort of a consequence perspective on the mission factors rather perspective than start from the asset inventory kind of that traditional. It was interesting, I was hearing some of the same language that we were developing over the last two years coming from the OT experts on the panels as well about exactly that, about operating through a crisis, about the mission critical functions. Right, okay. So we just talked about one scenario which is ransomware and you are looking to sort of, I guess, expand to different types of scenarios to try to help organizations assess where they are in terms of their maturity when it comes to resiliency, yes? Yeah, so it really doesn't matter what the type of attack is, right? And also I think one of the concerns, we've been very sort of IT focused and very much we talked about the data and making sure that it's distributed and immutable, but also from a service perspective. So you want to make sure that you can deliver those services. That's right. Whether it includes manpower or whether it includes just technology. So that's very important. So what are the next steps then? So you say that the efforts started in 2019, yes? There's two active working groups right now. So one is we're developing a maturity model. We're going to release the next iteration in October of this year at our conference, which is in Austin, Texas. So not local. But so the next iteration will come with a maturity model, some of the comments that we've received from multiple industries, and we're still actively seeking, we want to make sure it's a cross -industry approach. We also have another working group focused on a scenario that's in the financial sector. So in ACH payments network disruption, ACH is, you know, domestic cash payments are made through this ACH network, and it's $76 trillion a year. So it's a very significant system. And so what would a disruption like that, how would it impact banks? And how should we be thinking about operational resilience in that scenario? So working through that, we'll probably do an exercise in November of this year, which would be open to many banks to have that discussion. So we'll be looking at the next steps. Like I mentioned, we'll be looking to extend the framework to OT, ICS concerns. And we'll be looking to, you know, develop the third iteration and additional scenarios. So what is the first thing that organizations have to do if they want to adopt your framework? So they can go to our website now and freely download it. It's available. They can actually review it and give feedback. But also think about how they can use it in their organizations, right? What some in major banks, they're using it just to develop training materials. So organizations, they're different business units across the globe regionally, and different business units can consider operational resilience and how they work. So I think it's a really good learning tool. And ultimately, as they implement it, the first steps are, number one, we build it upon the baseline of NIST and ISO standards. IDLE, change management, making sure they have core standards, core practices in place, core controls, and then naming an operational resilience executive. So really getting somebody who has visibility across business and technology. Yeah, a champion of it, who can sustain it through organizational change, right? Who can really have some power and authority to implement it. That's really important. And then you can start walking through the framework and doing the things that are necessary. It'll take investment, it'll take some work to really become more resilient. And so we're working on the maturity model as well, so people can evaluate sort of where they are and where they think they might have gaps. Can they participate in one of your working groups so that they can assess to see how they can practically use it? Yeah, they can contact me. No, happy to have that. Happy to have people reach out to me and contact us. Again, our website, grf .org .org. And yeah, we're continuing to develop new working groups and new sector focal points. Our goal is to make the whole ecosystem more resilient, to figure out how organizations can do that and to contribute to security and resilience in any way that we can. So this is one way to do that. Possibly there's a way to incorporate AI element, the latest generative AI element. I would love it, right? I love it. I mean, that's a real passion of mine from many years ago. So it's great to kind of see it finally come into play. And we just have to address it in the right way and with the right security concerns. So, well, Mark, thank you so much for your time today to talk to us about generative AI, as well as operational resiliency framework that GRF is developing. So thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Thank you, Jane.

A highlight from Saved by Grace - Ed Nelson Biography
"Well, greetings everyone. I'm here today with Emily Nelson, a 2016 BJU graduate, somebody I very much want you to meet. She has some exciting things to tell you and I pray that you will hang on with us for just a little while, maybe eight or ten minutes, and be blessed by what Emily has to say. She has written a biography of her grandfather, Dr. Ed Nelson, a graduate of BJU. I've known Dr. Nelson since I was really young. He's a few years older than I am, so you can imagine how ancient he really is, but you'd never know it. He's as energetic as he was when I first knew him. I've never met a man so restless for the cause of Christ and the gospel than Dr. Ed Nelson. Emily, thank you for taking your time to be with us. Thank you for having me. I want a quick question to get into this. Why should anybody want to read about your grandfather, Ed Nelson? Well, I'm biased for sure because it's my grandfather, but he really has had a remarkable life, and it's a life full of the miraculous, a life full of just believing God and expecting him to work. And I know as I helped him write this book, it was a real challenge to my own faith just to believe God at his word and to expect him to work. My grandfather, who loved your grandfather very much, as did my dad and as do I, my grandfather said, every great man at some point comes under the dominating influence of some great truth. What would you say is that dominant truth that gripped your grandfather when he was young and that kind of drove him through his life of ministry? I'd say it was probably this. I am a sinner, and I have a great savior, and I want to do everything I possibly can to further his kingdom because of what he's done for me. That's very well put, and I think it absolutely describes what propelled him through life. He was always in motion. I've never met him when he was not just like a meteor crossing the sky. His energy was remarkable. I've been with him on some long mission trips, and no moss ever grew under his feet. The title of the book is A Sinner Saved by Grace, so that was a good description. Tell me about the time, the point in life, when he became a grace -saved sinner. What was he doing at the time? What influence did God bring into his life that got his attention and brought him to Christ? Well, he grew up on a farm in Windsor, Colorado, which is a little bit north of Denver. He had aspirations of being a great farmer just like his dad was. When he was 17 years old, he was in a farming accident. They were a very moral family, and his dad would take them to church every Sunday, but it was not a Bible preaching church. When he was in that accident, the doctors said he wouldn't make it through the night. He prayed and said, God, if there even is a God, I want you to hear my prayer, and I want you to save my life. If you do, if I live, then I'll get a Bible and I'll read it. Well, he made it. Spoiler alert. He made it, but he did get a Bible, but he didn't understand it until about four years later, your grandfather, actually, Dr. Bob Sr., was preaching at the First Baptist Church in Fort Collins, and his mailman came by and invited him to the revival meetings. He didn't really want to go, but out of respect for the mailman and his testimony, he was like, fine, I'll go. So he went that first night, and your grandfather preached and said that he was a sinner and that he deserved to die. It made him so angry that he found that he would never go back. Well, the next day on the tractor out on the field, he was like, I wonder what he's going to preach about that would make me mad again. And so he went back, and that happened four nights. And on the fourth night, he was like, you know what? What this man is saying is true, and it's not, I haven't been angry at him. I've been angry at God because I know that this is truth. And so he surrendered his life, and he came to know the Lord that evening. And I asked him when I was writing the book with him, I said, Grandpa, what were you saved from? And he was like, I was saved from my own goodness, because he was such a good moral person. He was saved from his own goodness, and he said that he knew deep down inside that there were things that he would think or say or look at that were not godly. And nobody else knew it, but that's what he was saved from. From that point in time, his life changed forever. The self -righteous sinner may be the hardest sinner to open his heart to the Lord.

A highlight from THE HASH: Binance Reportedly Almost Closed U.S. Arm; GameStop Says Goodbye to Crypto Wallets
"This is the hash podcast. Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the metaverse, web3 and more. All on the hash for your ears. You're listening to the Coindesk podcast network. Welcome to the hash, everybody. You're watching Coindesk TV. I'm Zach Seward. We got Wendy O. We got Sam Kessler. We got the news of the day to get to, and it is going to be fun. Let's do this thing. I'm starting us off. We're doing a quick update on Binance. According to a report in the information, Binance nearly shuttered its U .S. operations to protect its global bread and butter. Now, Binance is a top dog when it comes to crypto volumes globally, and they decided maybe at one point to cut off the U .S. to preserve the breadwinner of the global brand. According to the information, at least that was not able to be decided upon, and the Binance U .S. continues to pace. We'll talk about that one first, and then we'll shift gears and talk about some really interesting data about Binance still being quite operational in China despite an alleged crypto ban over there. Let's talk about the U .S. thing first, and then we'll shift gears over to China. Wendy, what do you think about this report from the information and what's being alleged here? Smart move, bad move? I don't blame them. Why would you stay somewhere where you are not treated best? A really good friend of mine, Mark Moss, always says, go where you are treated best. And I remembered that, and I still remember that today. Why would any crypto company want to continue to stay in the United States of America? All they seem to be doing is just wasting their money. I want to say that Ripple has spent over $200 million approximately on their lawsuit against the SCC. And that money could have been used not only to hire more people to build, to expand, but I do know that they have a very extensive educational fund that they do send out to different colleges or different communities to help people actually understand what blockchain technology is and about, you know, whatever. So I feel like a lot of people are just kind of tired. They're getting fed up. We're seeing a lot of companies move over to the Middle East and over to Asia. There's a lot of money flowing over there in the United States, not so much. And we're also seeing a lot of other companies create shops, set up shops in other countries, I want to say. And please correct me if I'm wrong. I want to say A16Z created something elsewhere, Coinbase and Gemini and all these other companies are establishing branches overseas because that's a lot more regulatory friendly. And I feel like the U .S. is kind of shooting themselves in the foot. I want to say there's some other reports coming out about how overleveraged we are monetary wise. And it just is not looking too terribly great here. And I'm also considering relocating as well, because if I can't work here in the U .S., if I can't do my crypto stuff, then what am I going to do? That's no fun. And also, I like to be able to be a content creator. And I don't know if I could do that in the U .S. anymore because we don't have any clear types of guidelines. I mean, if I can maybe chime in on this, I think whether or not it's a good thing for crypto, it certainly it seems like the intended outcome or one of the intended outcomes of you know, Gensler's crackdown on the industry, whether or not any of these cases or most of these cases have been settled yet, clearly it's having the intended effect of chasing business out of the United States. And I agree with you. I don't know why they would stay in the United States, because not only is it a huge headache, but as you know, recent reporting about, for example, Binance's huge China market has underscored the U .S. is not a huge market for Binance or for many of these other exchanges that are not primarily based in the United States. So I don't know why they'd stay here for that reason alone. And then one more thing that I thought was crazy about a lot of the stuff with this whole is just around the board meeting itself, where there was division within the company around what to do here. It's not like they were kind of wavering and CZ decided, okay, we're not going to do this after thinking he would, this being pulling out from the United States. There was a board vote and the head of the U .S. exchange decided that he didn't want to leave who chairs that board. And that's kind of what happened. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall of that meeting. Wendy, what do you think? Just really quickly before giving it over to Zach, like, I feel like Binance did the best that they could, like they were operating in the U .S., they had all these products and services. The U .S. is like, hey, we don't really want you to have these here. You can't do that. So when they were told that, they went ahead and left. And that was due to no regulatory clarity by the SEC or other public service. And in response to them, you know, kind of closing off the U .S. market, because I remember Binance, I used to trade on Binance. I loved it. It was a really great exchange. And then I want to say it was summer of 2020. They're like, okay, you have to KYC and if you're a U .S. citizen, you can't use it anymore. So they gradually push people off, but they did it in a very ethical way. And in response to that action from the SEC or whomever, they created Binance U .S., which had like five different trading pairs, and you can basically just buy, sell, and do limit orders. They didn't have anything, you know, they had a very bare exchange there, which they wanted to become as compliant as they could. And again, that still wasn't good enough for the U .S., which again, it should be very problematic. And I know that's not how the law works, but I wish that it did and they could just see all of the horrible choices that the SEC has made and Binance and other crypto asset companies have been doing their best to accommodate non -existing regulation. Zach? Yeah. A good segue to the other piece of Binance news that came out today by way of the Wall Street Journal. Something like 20 % of global volumes come from China. Now this is a surprise to some observers in crypto who say, hey, wait a minute, China has a crypto ban. A lot of informed observers, especially Emily Parker, who works at Coindesk and been sounding this alarm for a while. This is not an ironclad ban by any means, right? This is a very porous ban and crypto activity has been taking place in China, despite this alleged ban for a number of years. Now we get some fresh data from some reporting by way of the Wall Street Journal, suggesting that China really is a big part of the mix when it comes to the total trading volume that Binance sees on a daily basis. It's pretty crazy to see this breakdown and really speaks to the continued activity, interest and excitement that crypto finds in Asia relative to a more dour and gloomy picture here in the US specifically. You're seeing trade volume by country, China, South Korea are the top two. Let's talk about this report as well. Sam, I'll throw this your way. What do you think? I mean, there were some crazy things in this report and I'm glad you flagged Emily Parker. She has been sounding the alarm bell or whatever you want to call it, bell, on this for a while. This ban is not really a ban as with many of the things that we hear coming out of China, there are ways to get through them, VPNs are ubiquitous in the country. But anyway, some of the crazy things in this report, I mean, it was not just the number of, or the amount rather of cryptocurrency or the value of cryptocurrency that's traded on the platform. It was the number of wallets as well, or the number of users that Binance apparently has recorded as it's transacting there. I think it was close to a million, 900 ,000, I think is the number that's coming to my mind. Don't quote me on that, but it's something massive. The other thing that I thought was crazy about this too, is that it really does just highlight the opaqueness of Binance as a company. The fact that not only did we not realize that China, we being the general public, realized that China was a big customer of this platform, which makes sense. They didn't want to show us this for reasons, but not only did we not realize that it was a big customer, but apparently the biggest. That's just crazy. And it just shows you how little we still understand about Binance, like it or not. Wendy, what do you think? I've got friends that are very active in crypto and our builders do all kinds of really great stuff. And they are in China. And for the last couple of years, they said, no, it's not that crypto is really banned here. People are still using it. So I just feel like there's a big disconnect from what's actually happening and the news that we're presented in the United States. And again, that has nothing to do with Coindesk reporters. It has to do with more mainstream media news and some of the reports that they're giving out talking about what's going on in China. I feel like a lot of these reports are not necessarily accurate. And again, the only thing I do want to pick on you for with the wallet creations or having more using that number of wallet creations as active users, I don't feel like that's ever accurate. Like I always have at least like two to three accounts on different exchanges for different opposite reasons, for different positions that I'm opening and different types of trading styles I'm doing. So that's the only thing I want to say. But I do believe China has been playing 4D chess with us the entire time. They've kind of been silently doing things. Yes, that they're very controlling over what their people can and can't do. But at the end of the day, they're not going to let the U .S. outdo them when it comes to tech. And I just feel like America just keeps looking like a bigger and bigger laughing stock of the world at this time. Just want to put a finer point on what Sam said about Binance being a black box. Right. And I think that's very true and very remarkable feature of the crypto space that these open ledgers which provide unprecedented transparency toward financial matters still are largely sort of administered through these centralized exchanges, centralized companies that are the opposite of transparent, are very opaque. And it takes reporting such as this to reveal some of those details that otherwise aren't on chain, aren't visible to anyone who wants to look into it. So anyway, I just thought that was a good point, Sam. Shout out to you. Sir, the banks, the banks, traditional finance, you can't track cash. Anyways, I could talk about this all day long. Also opaque. Also opaque. Are they KYC -ing all over China? I mean, that's another question, too. All the users in China, like, is there a database somewhere in Binance? Because that goes to the account thing as well. Like, I didn't read closely enough, but I don't know if those were Binance accounts or if those were addresses, the 900 ,000 figure that apparently was the right number. I don't even know what that corresponds to. But if there's any number, there's probably a list somewhere. And if it were really illegal, you know, we know who has it. Anyway, it's just a really interesting story. Tis indeed. In the report itself, I will say it's noted as active users, whether or not that is an accurate representation, one to one, wallet to person. Hard to say. It's a level of nuance that sometimes doesn't make it into the final cut. Anyway, Wendy, you got the next story. Wendy and her 80 ,000 wallet addresses, the most random things ever. My CPA absolutely hates me. And if you guys need a CPA, you can use my. Anyways, we got to talk about this story because I don't like Worldcoin. And yes, I'm funding it live on the show. Coin goodness TV. OK, so the Kenyan government suspends Worldcoin activity on financial security and privacy concerns. And you know what? I don't blame them for doing that. This is one time when I do think the government should step in and protect their people. For the most part, I can protect myself. I can handle myself. I'm from the streets. But when we're talking about something like this, that is directly infringing on your privacy, like they're literally giving you 50 dollars for all your biometric data, which is really scary. Like, I don't know who these people are. If somebody was to walk up to me like, hey, Wendy, can I have one of your socks? I'd be like, heck, no, you can't. I wouldn't even let somebody look into my wallet or my purse. But anyways, Kenya suspended Worldcoin operations due to concerns about public safety and the integrity of financial transactions. The country's financial security and data protection services will investigate the legitimacy and data protection of the project. And then Kenya Interior Cabinet Secretary said any individual or legal entity found involved supporting aiding or abetting Worldcoin activity will face appropriate actions. Oh, wait. The number went down. Registered users were entitled to 25 free Worldcoin tokens worth about two dollars. You can't even buy it. You can't even go to McDonald's and use the value menu anymore for under two dollars or two dollars. Come on, man. No, no. The token is like the token is. Oh, I read that wrong. Wait. No, it says no registered users were entitled to twenty five free world. Well, I don't whatever. I don't care. It's still not enough for me. Go ahead. It's OK. I just looked up the price. Coin market cap says two dollars fifty cents per Worldcoin. So yeah, that's a sweet, sweet fifty dollar airdrop for your retinal scan. Full disclosure. I did this last week in Japan. I offered up my eyeballs to Sam Altman to get a world I .D. and I'm glad I did it. So you guys can fund this project all you want. But I'm ready for the future. My unique stuff is encoded. It's all encrypted. I think that there's a lot of craziness about this story because it is and has always been rather absurd that this is the security mechanism for preventing civil attacks on this network. I will say it's crazy, but you know what? I did it. So are you an investor now? So now do you have to disclose I'm a Worldcoin investor? I'm a Worldcoin whale. I'm just a I just I'm a respecter of the order. You know, I go up to the orb and I just I just have my world I .D. So don't worry about me. But I did it. I did it. I lived to tell it. You expect me to fud it. I can't believe I said fud. I never said it. But you expected that for me. I'm not actually going to do that this time around. I actually think that Worldcoin, despite all of the insane privacy issues and things that are glazed over, is a in many ways honest attempt at finding an application for crypto. And we've been asking for applications for the longest time. I mean, we do KYC with Binance. We do KYC with Coinbase. We give our face scans to our iPhones and we use those scans to log. It's just I do think that a lot of what Worldcoin is trying to do is, yes, 100 percent antithetical to the founding ethos of Bitcoin and Ethereum and a lot of these ecosystems. But that being said, I do think that it might be in a world where we're willing to give our identity to even a centralized platform in a lot of ways. I think it is kind of an iterative improvement on our existing identity apparatus. That being said, I do think it's fraught with a ton of issues. I think that the fact that they have this Worldcoin leads to this really weird, cynical incentive game where people not in the United States and not in the West are encouraged to give their eyeballs for $50. Even if it was $2, it can buy you a lot more in some places than it can in the United States. I think that's really cynical. I also think that they haven't thought about a lot of the potential abuses, not just in terms of the privacy, putting that all aside, but in terms of people buying your KYC or people pretending to be Worldcoin and scanning your retinas and using those for who knows what. I think there are a ton of things around the edges, but I don't think that Sam Altman is trying to harvest our eyeballs to make money because he's got a million other ways to make money off of AI, even though he apparently doesn't own much of it. This type of data is worth a lot. That's not something that is spoken about or talked about, but people's data like our search history, the biometric data, all of this stuff, anything that you can extract from a human is worth money and there's companies that are willing to buy this for a lot of money. So I would love to see the disclosures. Are they encrypted? I mean, yeah, that's the idea. They're using proofs and they're encrypting these things on device. So it's no less encrypted. I can't believe I'm defending anything in general. I'm going to save this and then when I see you, I'm going to be like, this is what you said.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Charles Duke
"Folks, welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his seed because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Mataxas! I've already told you really everything I think you need to know about the man who lets me call him Charlie. A warm Socrates in the City round of applause for Brigadier General Charles Moss Duke. You go in the far chair right there. All right, I better get this out of the way right off the bat. Did you really walk on the moon? Be honest, because you're among friends. If it didn't happen, there's forgiveness. But is that true? It's true. About 20 years ago, the moon landings were a big hoax. And I was interviewed by somebody on NBC. And and I said, as Katie Couric, and I said, Katie, if we faked it, why did we fake it nine times? You're going to fake some, do it once and shut up. Right. But we went to the moon nine times, had six landings on the moon, and I was the fifth landing of the six. So I don't know, though, if you really want to be clever, you could you could do it several times just to throw people off, you know. Charlie, it's I'm not kidding. I go places and I talk and every now and again, I will bump into someone who is a flat earther. And I realize this because I would use it as the ultimate example of what we all dismiss. We don't take seriously. And there are people like they're out there. So have you ever encountered one who actually thought that you were that who confronted you personally and said this never happened? My first encounter with this fellow, I don't remember his name now, but he called me in the middle of the night and said, how do you get your number, Charlie? We're in the phone book, actually. All right. That's that's on you. That's on you. Not many, not many phone books left, but back 20 years ago. And that's called me. He says, my name's so -and -so. And he says, do you are you Charlie Duke? I said, I'm Charlie Duke. He said, Well, you claim you walked on the moon. And I said, Yeah, I walked on the moon. He said, Well, I have irrefutable proof that you did not land on the moon. And I said, Well, why don't you send me some of this irrefutable proof? So I hung up and he sent me a grainy video that he'd done. And it was a fake video, actually. And so anyway, I saw him, a friend of his showed up at a meeting in Japan. Yeah, I don't believe Japan exists. And this guy and this guy approached Buzz Aldrin in his office in L .A. one time. And he said he had a Bible in his hand. He says, swear on this Bible that you walked on the moon. And Buzz said, Get out of here. And the guy kept the guy kept bugging him. And finally, Buzz just popped him right right in the middle of the nose and knocked him down. And the so guy sued Buzz. But the lawyer says, You deserve it. I mean, the judge said, You deserve it. Get out of here. Wow. We need more judges like that. Yeah. So anyway, I had a similar experience in Japan with this guy. But the evidence is irrefutable that we landed on the moon that we did. You don't need to convince this group. We we believe you. It's kind of why we're here. Well, I mean, we need an argument. The rocks are six hundred pounds of moon rocks are totally different than earth rocks. The photographs that we took, you cannot fake photograph. Back in those days, you didn't have the technology to fake photographs like you could do it today. And so the photographs all real. The rocks are real. The experiments we brought back. We left the laser reflector up there. And it's all all that's being transmitted. I mean, you can so we can hit it with a laser from here. Yeah. And so there's evidence is overwhelming that the moon rocks are real and that we did land on the moon six successful times. I want to ask you a few geological questions, which is not typical of me, but I want to get into that. But first, I want to I just want to go backwards. You know, I was kidding around about the idea that once you've walked on the moon, you know, you know, people don't really care where you went to college or whatever you're you know, you've been published in the Atlantic Monthly or whatever it is, because, you know. But how did your path go? I alluded to the fact that you started in the Naval Academy, so you didn't even have it as a gleam in your eye to to be an astronaut, because in those days, in those days, there wasn't a space program. We were trying to launch rockets, but not nobody was talking about people. And so I graduated from the Naval Academy in 1957, and there wasn't an Air Force Academy in 1957. There wasn't. They started it in 1955, but the first class wasn't going to graduate until 1959. So up until that point, they would allow West Pointers and midshipmen to volunteer for the Air Force. It was up to 25 % of the class. And so I fell in love with airplanes and at the Naval Academy. And so the decision was Naval Aviation or Air Force. And I was leading Air Force, but I really didn't know. So I took my physical my senior year, first class year, we called it. And I said, and the doctor after I got finished, he said, Well, Mitch and the Duke, you don't qualify for naval aviation, but the Air Force will take you. So that's true. That's true. True story. And so I ended up in the Air Force. And the whole story was the doctor says, we have found a stigmatism in your right eye and you don't qualify for naval aviation, but the Air Force will take you. So so anyway, they're desperate. They're just getting started. They'll take anybody. Yeah. Did you I mean, I have to ask you this question as a kid. Did you ever have any inkling or premonition that you would do something like go to the moon or was it simply completely, you know, because I grew up at a time when I was a kid, people started going to the moon. So I can't think of a time when nobody was doing that. Well, I I'm 86 and I can remember Pearl Harbor. I was six years old, my twin brother. And it was a very I can remember it vividly. And so my dad went off to the Navy and at 35 years old. And we ended up in South Carolina with my grandmother and my mom. And and my heroes were that greatest generation is broke. And so I wanted to serve my country and I chose to go to the Naval Academy because and because my dad had been a Navy. And I was as a kid, I can remember making these baltic wood planes and throwing them off the front top story of my grandmother's house. And we could get some matches and we'd like to tail and we'd throw this thing off. So it was like the zeros crashing, you know, and so I can remember those kind of things. But certainly it wasn't any. I fell in love with airplanes, I guess, in those days. And I had this adventure spirit, I call it. And there's a book by Dr. Seuss called Beyond Z. And it talks about this kid who learns the alphabet on beyond zebra. Yeah, beyond zebra on beyond zebra. Yeah. And his name was Conrad Cornelius O 'Donnell O 'Dell, a very young man who's learning to spell the A is for ape and the B is for bear. C to C through disease is for zebra. I know them all well, says Conrad Cornelius O 'Donnell O 'Dell, but he almost fell flat on his face on the floor when I picked up the chalk and drew one letter more for the things that I see and the things that I do. I could never spell if I stopped with the Z.

A highlight from Trump Says He Expects An Arrest & Indictment Over Jan. 6th Capitol Riot
"Welcome in to The Mike Gallagher Show. All of us at Salem Media Group have heavy hearts as we say farewell to Stuart Epperson, Sr., who was the co -founder and chairman of Salem Media Group, the parent company of this show. We are all lifting up Stu's wife, four kids, 21 grandkids in prayer and praying for God's healing and comfort and peace. What an amazing guy. Stuart Epperson, Sr., was a gentle giant. A big, tall, just amazing presence. Would walk into a room and exuded kindness and grace and compassion. He and Nancy mentored at -risk youth for many, many years. Did a lot of things that people didn't even know about. Reaching out to some of these kids in the inner city and sharing God's love and the joy of Jesus Christ and salvation with so many. He was also a broadcasting giant, a broadcasting legend who sparked the careers of many, many people. Simply put, without Stuart Epperson and his brother -in -law Edward Atsinger, there is no Salem Media Group. There is no Mike Gallagher Show. There is no Salem News Channel. There is no Salem Podcast Network. There are no owned and operated stations around the country operated by Salem Media Group. So I just wanted to share all of us, our collective mourning and yet celebrating a life well lived. Stuart Epperson, who passed away this week at the age of 86. Welcome into a Tuesday episode of the Mike Gallagher Show. We have a lot, a lot to cover today. Holy cow. So much material and where do we begin? Well, let's start in my beloved South Carolina where yesterday Governor DeSantis held a big town hall. Packed, a lot of enthusiasm, big turnout to hear DeSantis and a lady stood up and spoke and this thing went viral. Certainly the DeSantis people are very excited about what she had to say. I'm going to play it for you. I just don't, I don't want you to think I'm making an editorial judgment about either DeSantis or Trump or anybody else for that matter. You know me, I'm a Republican. I'm going to support whoever gets the nomination in 2024. Enthusiastically, I might add, because we got to stop the Democrats reign of terror over the United States. They're destroying this country city by city, state by state. But I want to play this for you. Again, this went viral. This was somewhere in South Carolina where this lady took the microphone and spoke directly to Ron DeSantis. I was invited to come today to listen to you by this gentleman, Representative Moss.

Sebastian and Chris Kohls Discuss the Love Story in 'Rocky'
"It is a love story in part. Let's have a little clip here from the pet shop between rocky and Adrian. You had more moss at the flight. You know what I mean? There's more. The turtle throw, right about here in his car, right? I'm on the back of the show and what do you think they get? And they get what? What? No shot. What do you think? Now, it's a fun performance. When I first watched this movie, Chris, I thought, does this woman have problems? I mean, is this about a person with mental issues? Here's one of the digs I have at the movie. I think we have the B roll later on once the offer has been made and rocky is watching himself on TV. Do the press conference about being Italian stallion. From that moment in the film I'm not kidding guys, go home and watch it. Before the film, rocky is grungy, ugly, oily hair. She's got the ugly glasses on. As soon as he becomes the contender, he starts getting handsome, combs his hair, you never see her glasses again for the next 50 minutes, her glasses have disappeared, and she starts to look sexy. It's a little, it's a little bit artificial. It's a little on the nose, Chris. No, no, I don't think so. I don't think it's artificial. It is on the nose. It's on the nose. But no, I don't think it's artificial. I'll tell you why. This is a story, like I said, it's an underdog story, but it's a story of two underdogs, really, right?

The Garden Question
"moss" Discussed on The Garden Question
"Lot of complaints from people that purchase from elsewhere. What about plants that are called mosses, but aren't really mouses. They're certainly a number of them out there. And it can be confusing to a gardener. They think they're buying malls, perhaps that the garden center, and if it's called Irish monster, scotch malls that seems to make sense, but the reality is those particular plants are vascular that have flowers and they have fruits. No true bryophyte or moss, will ever have those features. Remember, they'll have a rosy, but no root. They'll have spore fights but not flowers. So that's one way people get tricked. But then there are other plants that course people in the south are very familiar with in the low country and that would be Spanish moss. That's not the mossy. There is actually a pineapple family. And it's an epiphytic. Reindeer moss. That's another one. Reindeer moss is actually a lichen. It can be beautiful as an accent plant. I do utilize it in my design sometimes. Then there's club losses. Club losses are actually like a pods in the mountains here we have shining club moss, which is another wonderful accent to use, but then there are other club mosses that can be hard to introduce the ones that are called running ground seed or princess time. What else could there be out there that's called moss? Oh, moss flocks. That's plant flocks with the beautiful bright flowers. And it can be called moss flocks. Sometimes, but I guarantee you, you sit down on that flocks. It's not gonna be comfortable after the fact, like a moss would be. Think about it just because it's called a moss, doesn't mean it's a moss. I've noticed a lot of moss being used in the biophilic movement. Could you comment on that? First, let me explain that. The biophilic concept is that workers will be more productive when they are surrounded by grain. When they can engage with nature, when they've got to win, though, when they can feel airflow or where they have plants that quote may be cleaning the air for them. Let's look at what I feel like while actually is. They're composed of mosses that are dried and preserved. They're not necessarily alive anymore. If you're not providing supplemental watering, even to that interior wall, the mosses will not thrive. If the mosses have been dried and preserved and perhaps even that green, they're not cleaning the air anymore. It's just giving something pretty ingrained to look at. And I have to tell you that for me, I find that the antithesis of the purpose of rejuvenating your spirit. If you're looking at a wall, another moss could have been alive and somebody's put it up there on the wall to get dusty and not clean the air. Let's talk about your book. The magical world of mos gardening. What possessed you to write that book? When I first started out, there really was only one reference book about mos garden. And it certainly peaked my interest and started to engage me to the reality that I could intentionally introduce losses and grow them, but it just didn't give me enough of the specifics or how to troubleshoot certain issues. How to recognize when it's just a natural transition of reproductive growth or a reaction to some. As I learned by observation in nature and then in my own garden and then when I started creating gardens for other people, that's stepping into the whole new level of being accurate and understanding the nuances of planting. When I was approached by Denver prayers, I already had the concept in mind. I did create magic with mosses that title just seemed to be a natural. How can we benefit from reading your book? I do offer inspiration with lots of impressive photographs of places where mosses grows all around the world. Plus, it formation that would be valuable in the selection of species. There's a section of 25 recommended species that are not only like an ID field guide, but how you plant them and where you might plant them because certain mosses do prefer rock substrates over soul even, not only planting methods, but how you do your troubleshooting in your maintenance. It's pretty much based on actual observations and experience. It is not philosophy, it is experiential based. And it's driving true. I'm happy that the garden that I created from an actual asphalt driveway in 2008 to 2009 right there between Thanksgiving and new year's. In the dead of winter, it's absolutely as lush and gorgeous in 2022. That's the garden I was referring to when I'm sitting around granting like a Cheshire cat about how beautiful my garden is. We can get your book directly from you and you'll autograph it correct. I certainly do and I'll personally inscribe it and I will appreciate the direct support for my mossy endeavors if you order the book through my website. Mountain malls dot com. Annie, how many people connect with you? Thank you for asking that. I do offer lectures and workshops all around the country. That's an opportunity for garden clubs or environmental groups to learn more about moss gardening. I provide site consultations. If you're within a locale that's a reasonable driving distance and phone consultation. Additionally, I'm a mall service and remember I create landscapes. So if you won't turn key landscape, my crew and I can create an inviting retreat in a matter of days. I use social media, my YouTube channel has a number of different how to type videos. You can also experience a spore cloud of sovereigns for us. It is like magic and you'll hear me squeal every time I rub my hand lightly across the sport tops. There's spores are emitted in a little yellow cloud. LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, I use those periodically. The most valuable resource that's out there from my perspective on social media is my group on Facebook called go green with Mars. Getting really close to 6000 members now, where we share photos and questions and answers with each other about how to become a successful mos garden. We loved pat each other on the back. When people have created a beautiful space. And we're encouraging. I encourage ID and I've expect people to learn their mall species and they can't just call it moss in general. They need to understand that the reason it succeeded was because they used this species in this location. It is a learning experience, and it's a friendly worldwide village of other mosque gardeners or what I refer to as monsters. If you create lost gardens, if you enjoy most gardens from a distance, if Mars is catch your eyes, when you're taking a hike in the Woods, all of that makes you a monster any way you engage with masters makes you a master. Now, Craig, you can be a monster too. I do appreciate this opportunity to be able to share my perspectives and hope that others will embrace moss gardening as an alternative to other ways of enjoying your outdoor space. In conclusion, I think the most important things to remember are that you should choose the appropriate master species primarily based on sun exposure. You may also want to consider the substrate that it prefers. The second thing is not three ws. You want to water, walk, and weed, and that watering provides several brief supplemental watering sessions several times throughout the day. It's pretty simple to be a lost gardener. It is highly rewarding to my spirit and hopefully
The Garden Question
"moss" Discussed on The Garden Question
"If you want to use a chemical or what about manually in the mosque, can you pull your weights out? How does that work? Sure, you can pull your weeds at. You can go have a zen experience in a moss garden if you want to. Actually, some people do enjoy it because you're quiet and you're up close and personal and you get to see the features that the moss plants. Also, I don't garden with gloves. If the moss is the tree and the mushrooms are having conversations for how some of that good spirit will absorb through your fingertips, if you're not wearing gloves. To that conversation, by the way, scientists are talking about the trees and mushrooms talking to each other. They forgot that mosses started the conversation. And they never left. I guarantee you those losses are not keeping quiet while all the trees and mushrooms are chatting around with each other. They've got something to say. Mosses are 450 million years old. Scientifically, they're referred to as bra fights or classified as bria fighter. These plants were on earth 50 million years before there was any other plant. That's pretty long time in it, Craig. Oh yeah. Moss is shrewdly colonized the earth. They help to break down raw to create soil so that there was a stage for other plants to grow here. And become the lush planet that we have. Mosses have watched the dinosaurs come and go. They have experienced all kinds of cataclysmic disasters. Mosses have phenolic compounds that make them immune to cold so they can be planted in any planting zone in America because they don't care how cold they get. They taste bad and these compounds also allow mosses sometimes to even live in the most horrendous of conditions in our normal backyard that just might be deep shade and nutrient foresaw. They can be the first species to self introduce after a hazardous waste site is abandoned at a copper mine or even after a fire. They are amazing how they can regenerate, rejuvenate, and start to come back, even after major types of stresses. That doesn't mean you can't kill them. If you don't give them good water, they will have an issue. Sometimes beautiful colony, you let it dry out dry out, it's gonna turn into Krispy Kreme little counter. Curl all up and everything. Obviously, it's too dry then. You have not provided enough water and neither has mother nature. And you can't count on her. I've already learned that. She can't be over generous with her watering or she can be dingy and not give you anything for days or weeks. Supplemental watering is going to be a key to having beautiful moss gardens and to encourage existing moss, growth where it is. Also maintenance. One good way to kill mosses is to leave on the masters covered them up. They're plants. They still need sunlight. They still have a photosynthesis process. Literally, you are smothering them out if you've had your leaf pile. Over there on the edge on top of your mosses. And that frequently happens. All these other methods with people are trying to kill mosses, typically their systemic killers, mosses or nonvascular and therefore they should not be affected by typical ways that people try to get rid of them. And that's why landscapers and homeowners can be very frustrated if they don't want losses. Just give in and embrace the losses, folks. Yeah, sometimes that would be simpler in these years just to go with what will grow there. How about mosses mulch? Mulch is one of those other cuss words in my book. I use mosses underneath bushes in lieu of malt all of the time. What do you think that there's not been a whole lot of research into mosses from a horticulture or a garden perspective? Well, we are dealing with the obsession with grass. Number one, our schools of horticulture oftentimes are trying to find better ways to grow turf. The heartier sods that they can have that will roll out. It's almost like a mystery to me in the schools of biology, they're concerned with economy of mosses from a scientific perspective. The schools of horticulture oftentimes still consider mosses a weed. There are many research topics that I feel need to be conducted, although you don't need to use fertilizers, cosmos is literally in nature. Drink through their leaves and eat dust particles. That's it. Could they benefit from some fertilizers, a little bit of research was done in England by Michael Fletcher. He has initial studies indicated that certain nutrients or micronutrients might encourage better growth for one species and the very next species in the next experimental tray would desiccate. Needs to be conducted as species specific controlled variable research. And that hadn't happened. How many of us have gone to a nursery and brought hump pretty flower and plant, and there's some small growing at the face of planting in the park. Well, that tells me that we know that nurseries are fertilized and every day practically to keep those things looking good. That can handle some fertilizer, which ones we don't know for sure. I would say the water makes a bigger difference when I first started out myself without any references on how to plant or what these nuances would be towards being successful. I heard they're all mosses were acid lovers. Well, that's not true. I've since learned better. I thought, let me just use some mirror asset on here. When I water, that made sense to me. And mimosas looked real good and then I had a professor come visit. He said, you are so lucky. You just didn't kill him. The next year, all I did was water. They look just as good. It had been a factor. It was the watering that made the difference. What kind of regular maintenance should we be doing with the mosses? Typically, you need to do consistent maintenance in terms of debris, pick up twigs, then of course leaves, you'll avoid raking, leaves, except for if you're trying to get existing monsters to spray. That's the one exception will hire. You can blow them, establish bosses, you can use that blower on high if you want to. You need to use jerky motion that are lifting up the leaves versus blowing long, hard, streams. 'cause you might blow the losses away. Also won't blow away when leaves are wet. Because whitley's blow away good, wet mosses tend not to. In addition to that, you know, if you live anywhere and you've been observed, if you're around palm trees or oak trees, you make be gifted with male catkins. In the case of oaks, I have a very rude term I just call them oak crackers. There's those little tassels and with palm trees. In this little Brown footballs. Nay in junior football season at my mossy and literally there's little Brown footballs will be everywhere. Need did not let other types of plant matter accumulate because once again, if you cover up the mosses, they're not going to be able to breathe and live. Maintenance is important. You may also have to do some creative repairs if nighttime creators come digging in your mouse's bird, steer your mouths to make a nail. Your dog runs across
The Garden Question
"moss" Discussed on The Garden Question
"Ways that mosses can grow. If you're wanting to encourage the mosses that are already there, you can rake them up. You're going to dislodge certain portions of it and those quote flags can then be spread into adjacent barren areas where you can pick them up. I keep myself a frag bag around, or I've got a great vest as these wonderful Captain Kangaroo pockets. I'm just stuffing my fries in there if I happen to come across them from doing another maintenance work. Yes, you get wonderful green, you get wonderful Reyes and other jewel tongue colors. When you're getting ready to start your masters, do you dig a hole for them or how does that work? Craig, that's one of the things I enjoy most about most gardening is 'cause I don't have to dig any holes except for one species, and that's an upright grower that is rather tall and therefore it's rhizoid, go down deeper into the soul. And for that reason, the hole is advantageous. She wanted to get that soil based into it. Otherwise, you just use hard packed soil without any amendments. You don't need to worry about it. Although if you want to be concerned about PH, you can, but it's not near as important as most people think it is. You slightly scratch it with a three pronged digger, a stick, pointy rock, whatever's convenient for you. And then you sit the upright colonies right next to each other. I want to also mention that there are a few species that don't just grow up right or don't grow sideways. The one I'm going to specifically mention is clima. It has a sideways razor with upright growth. In this particular case, the moss is actually due in rich soul. They don't necessarily have to live in the shade. They can tolerate being in sun too. And so I consider it an ideal species. It the tops get as big as silver dollars. So it's not miniature and only grows about two inches tall, so it kind of looks like little trees. It's a linear growth in the soul there you would enrich the soul if it's nutrient poor and you would loosen it and plant the rhizoid like you would a vine. So it's the only moss that I plant in a method that would be similar to quote other plants in the world. Amazing happens to be the most regenerative of all the most species and even when it reaches its stage where it looks like the plant is dead and dried up new green growth will appear out of a leaf out of a stem out of the rhizoid. So I use climate as my preferred frag planting moss as well. The creative processes I mentioned before is intuitive for me the moss speak is A-okay, I'm next. I don't go right there where you were just planting. I won't be over here in this other spot. And it starts to come together as you create a miniature landscape of mounds and carpet. For the carpet or sideways growers, you want to take the edges and interleave them. That means over under over under. For all the mosses when you've got them in place, you want to. Water than thoroughly, and walk on them. If you can't walk on them, for instance, you're doing one of those patios in the cracks or just two little for even a Cinderella foot to get in there. You can use a hammer. I'm not kidding you or even a mallet. If you're a professional landscaper, you can use a tamper. The coin I'm trying to make here is that you do not need to be gentle with the losses. You want to make sure that the rhizoids are going to connect with the soil or the substrate that you're planting them all. I did just mention rhizoid. That's something that's different about mosses from other plants. They don't have roots. They have rhizoids and the whole purpose is for them to hold the mouse colony to whatever substrate or surface it's growing all. They do not feed the plant. Remember, I told you how they get fed through the sleeves. We're back to another unique aspect that distinguishes losses from other vascular plants. So then literally attach on just about anything, then, from rock, soul, sod buildings, trees. They can, if they're introducing themselves, there are other manipulative techniques you may need to use if you're trying to get moss to grow on a full 90° vertical wall. I would start it in horizontal position number one. And I wouldn't start with the wall. Start with something small. Don't say I want my whole grass lawn to be lost. Let us start with the little corner first and create that visual destination or a place that you can create as an outdoor living space. Yes, rocks are another good way. Back to that moss milkshake, I had me a little concrete bunny that I wanted monster girl on. I painted it several times. I've even done my own quasi experiments on that. Without success, I will say, the way you can get it do that growing on different objects, planned it right next to or adjacent to sideways growers. And they will start to creep up the side. If you want it on the top of the statue or on the top of The Rock, all you get is a little stone on top, like a little hat. Hold it in place for a while to the rest. So it's connect. Understand that. It's like a little top. It's just simple, common sense, a lot of this is common sense. As long as you throw away all your gardening knowledge. For instance, when I mentioned that Mars will benefit from supplemental watering Sessions, that need to be very brief, no longer do you need drenching soaks like you do for other plants because mosses will hydrate quickly in the extra watering is just overkill. It's waste. For unnoticed moss the most is going to be removed along, Bermuda needs full sun, but it was planted in the shade, so it's starting to decline, but moss is starting to take over. How do you go ahead and encourage the moss and get the intertwining Bermuda grass out of it? You know, grass is a cuss word to me. But I can definitely tell you how to get rid of grass. What you would do is start to mow the grass or weed eat it down as low as possible. That will really hamper any successful growth of the grass itself. You can rake the existing mosses to help spread them, and the mowing process in and of itself will spread mosses throughout the area. That's when you cut grass, you end up with a dead blade. When you cut mosses, hey, botanically they can grow from fragments. That means you're spreading them off. The more you move, the better you spread your mosses. Then supplemental watering, if you want to help them grow in better, you start adding more water. Obviously, if they're already growing there, they have self introduced, they like the condition. If you want to enhance more visual appealing, you need to water more. Right. And weed them. Okay. Can start to get to the point of where you're not just letting it grow. To me, that's the turtle method. I don't know if I'm gonna be around tomorrow. I don't know if any of the rest of us can count on that either. I truly believe that wait for years for it to grow in that way. You can actively try to kill the grass by using a chemical killer that could be effective, particularly if you already have a beautiful mossy area, but you've got weeds or grass starting to come into it. You can't use a commercial chemical called spectra side weed and grass killer. I'm not trying to promote any particular product, but it does work. You can use it right off the shelf. You need to use it during the appropriate temperature range that's recommended on the directions. It will kill the grass and weeds and not stress the moss. That wouldn't do it when we're having these scorching days that are breaking record temperatures. You can be successful that way.

Two Federal Judges Concerned How Some Are Charged on Jan. 6 Events
"Even at two federal judges, truly both appointed by Obama, who raised concerns about the way certain people are being charged. They've raised the question like wait a minute. You're charging people for disrupting Congress. When in fact, we've had people disrupt Congress. You hit him with a misdemeanor. You let them go. You're charging these people with felonies if they don't plead to to an offense that you demand And they're starting and they're saying What is that? Based on? You've heard that too, right? I have. So you're referring to Judge Moss and Judge Maeda? Um Judge Moss called the obstruction of official proceeding felony, which this DOJ has slapped on at least 200 cases. To turn Trump supporters and two convicted felons. It's never been used in this way before the judges know it. The government knows it. The defense lawyers certainly know it. And so both of those lawyers have raised concern. Judge Moss said. It has a constitutional staginess problem. There is a motion in the oath Keepers case. Motion to dismiss and judge made A is considering that now and should make a ruling should issue some ruling on that next month. Um, but again, Philip bump. Do you even know what the obstruction of an official proceeding charge is its origination, which was a post and run law. That was supposed to stop and the interference and congressional investigations, not the certification of the Electoral College. So you know, these are the things that Mr Bump does not stay awake at

I'd love to know what sets it apart from other ways that you can get your see moss and how do you source it well. We are vigilant with regards to our sourcing. there's been because of the popularity of seamus end. The notoriety of seamus. It's become a very in demand product and so they're individuals that are rowing it in farms and so farm racine moss doesn't have the same efficacy and potency as wild crafts seamus and so with us. Being aware of what's caused seed wants farms. We've become even more vigilant in our sourcing sold primarily source from the north atlantic. We have a suppliers there that we researched thoroughly. We also have suppliers from the caribbean such as in jamaica and saint lucia and we import based on them being established entity that is verifiable in terms of their harvesting methods and their ability to provide the item with as little human intervention as possible. So because we want to give you know. We're we're focused on sustainability and leaving very little environmental impact as possible show we source and utilize buyers that are mindful to those principles as we are but again we primarily sourced from the north atlantic and from the caribbean.

I'm sure it will be definitely beneficial for other people as well and then here came cove it and one of the things they were stating about colon was you know you know in the islands as an believe it's a adage here in the states as well but they said prevention is better than a pound of cure so one of the things they were saying with it was that You know to take same and to keep your immune system high as supported as possible in a new.

That's amazing and i think that's so cool that something that you grew up with that was a part of part of your family and a part of your upbringing became something that you're able to help people with later down the line especially with a pandemic happening right now and i truly believe that prevents it. You know it may not keep us from getting the virus but maybe our bodies will respond better to it. I really do believe that. I'd love to know. Also just a little bit more about seema's in the past. We've done an episode on algae. And i think for a lot of us. There can be some confusion. So i'd love to know what is the maas. How does it differ from algae and talk to me about some of those health benefits. Sure sure we'll see. Moss is also scientifically known as congress. Crispus it is actually a red seaweed that grows in new england. North the north america's. It's also bone in canada. It grows naturally. I should say. In parts of the caribbean north america europe the atlantic coast but it is a red algae the difference between c moss. Algae does have you know significant health benefits as well. Algae though is an aquatic plant it grows in water whereas seema's it grows in moist or damp areas and then it can wash up in our oceans or on our shores algae does have chlorophyll you know that some of the properties has but the thing with algae is it lacks. True roots in stems and lease leaps while see moss. Are you know they're flawless green plant. They will in carpet in when i say carpets but in terms of Near ocean or water they grow in those little nuts. It gross somewhat like fungi but it. It is not a funny but it does. It adheres to the ground by some properties call. Risks wade's and algae is anchored to the subterranean by structure known as hold fast. So they act. In different the way they manifest is different and the way they Reproduces different but they are both quite important in terms of the amount of nutrients and health benefits that they produce but they just act in different way and they grown in in different ways. That makes sense. I had always kinda wondered about that. And i am so curious to know a little bit more about seema's especially kind of looking through your website and seeing some of the products you offer so i know that you mentioned he. Moss gave energy. I love to know a little bit more about how someone would incorporate see mazda into their routine and some of the other benefits of it.

My grandmother lived until one hundred. My grandmother lived on my father's side. One hundred and four. And so you know. This was just like shocked. It was earth shattering for me and so during that timeframe i decided to research and take a look at what could possibly cause this and i became more and more interested in the things that may have been the start to the causes of the manifestation of breast cancer. And so that's where it began. I became more conscious of foods than lifestyle situations that may prompt a breakdown in arm. Yoon system that can trigger the presentation of disease and so it started slowly with little poking prodding and then you know with the accessibility of the internet becoming more and more pervasive. You know there was a wealth of information that i this doubt in in soli shortly became a deluge of information that i was it was mind blowing when my mom passed away the grief process was kinda rough at which point i decided you know. What can i do. I wanna do something that can really help other people and so i started working.

My mother developed breast cancer and Unfortunately she you know. She fought valiantly though she did not. She eventually lost her battle with breast cancer. And so it was very transformative for me because my mother had led what i would imagine to have been a healthy life. Meaning she never smoked. She was not a drinker. She did not quote unquote party in a way where she would go out choosing home to work her family. So i just couldn't understand you know how could this happen..

How to Use the Paid Skills on Your Amazon Device
"Hey Terry here and I've got yet another cool update from Lexie live. I've got a bunch of these and I'm going to continue to bring you the latest news. The cats are these is again. You know, are all of these available to Canada when they come out. We don't know that. But I think it's worthwhile letting you know what these announcements are because they are eventually going to come down here. This is in addition to the instant purchasing that I mentioned last week, if you didn't catch that, flash briefing in skilled, purchasing allows you to purchase things from within the skill, which is now available in Canada. Well, Amazon also announced recently that they are now having paid skills and what that means it's is that customers or consumers, or whatever you want to call us as, as users of Volvo XE, we have the option of paying a one-time fee upfront to access the content of a skill. And so this is ideal for premium skills. Where you know one of the consumers is moss Need to pay once to access the core skill experience and it reduces the need for developers and to try to upsell things for people within the skill. So it's it's a different approach. There's the ensco purchasing wage which, for some things is going to make sense. So you can purchase something from within the skill, once you get into skill. But now there's also the option to have paid skills where consumer can pay for the skill up front, and then they're in the skill, and they have full access to all the features. So, we will see how this turns out. We will see how this develops, but I'm excited to see these. These different options for the skills as they come back out and get released

Jen Moss, Chief Creative Officer of JAR Audio, on Using Your 'Outside Voice' in Branding
"What do we mean by outside voice. So i put a little thought into this this morning. Here's what we mean. We mean stories and messages with broad appeal we mean high quality storytelling we mean unbranded content or very lightly branded like subtle We mean content. That's relevant to larger social movements or conversations that are going on at the time We mean stepping outside your comfort zone. As a brand we mean having conversations that go far beyond products and services but you know probably still wanna adhere to brand pillars of brand values So nobody's asking brands to fund podcasts. That go against their values. That wouldn't make sense but if you're dealing with brands you know they. They have foundational documents. They have concepts. They have like an ethos and that's usually a very broad area. That's very interesting to play in. I think it's worth noting that Any podcast any show on the radio. Or you know any podcast network. They'll have an ethos as well. You always have to adapt content to work within a value set and so brands are no different from that. So just figuring out. What is that value set and working within it And i think by outside voice we also mean positioning your brand as an influence in a particular ongoing conversation or story genre. We'll get into that a little bit and you know taking a risk in order to get noticed so the primary example that gets brought up a lot here some of you may know it is Ge's the message which was written by new york playwright. Mak rogers and effectively positioned that brand as an innovative tech forward company by creating a sci-fi podcast never mentioned their

The Difference Between an Audience and a Customer With Jen Moss, Chief Creative Officer of JAR Audio
"I think this is one of the most important things that brands really need to understand. If they wanna get into podcasting and we talk to our cuss our clients a lot about this and that is the difference between an audience and a customer because they are not the same thing right an often. I find marketing departments in sort of confused. That and so i think it's worth taking a moment. So an audience is like the total group of individuals or organizations out there in the world who could in some way be exposed to your podcast offering or your brand They don't necessarily care a hoot about your brand. They just want to show up and be entertained or be educated. They want some kind of value from the exchange with the podcast. They have plenty of other choices. They can go anywhere. Do anything at any time with the click of a button and they're not really looking to buy anything that's not why they're coming to the podcast. Okay so a customer on the other hand is a sort of a subset of your audience But by definition. They're not the same thing what what tends to happen is hopefully the ladder might lead to the former. No wait a minute. Yeah the latter might lead to. The form of the audience might become customer. If you're lucky if you play your cards right So what you need to do though to to make that happen. It's you have to. I attract an audience with something worth doing so that they might become a customer. Someone who wants to actively engage with your brand might eventually want a product or service and think of your brand when it comes to that because hey you made that cool podcast Because a customer is someone who's may be ready to buy something whereas an audience not so

Do You Need a Podcast Coach?
"At least four times per week. Someone like you a podcast. Emails me direct to my email inbox and asks me why that podcast audience isn't growing and i'm a i'm a pretty nice guy you know i don't do podcast coaching. I just don't do it. But i always reply. And ask for a little more information and usually refer them to the free captivate podcast growth out because it's essentially podcast coach but for free all right and the reason i do that is because they're replying usually annoys me. Usually frustrates me because the podcasters annoy me but because they usually paying a podcast kurt. Now i'm doing that in huge aircrews a podcast kurt to help with their growth. Which gets me thinking. Hang on if they are paying someone. If that podcast is spending their hard earned money paying someone to help them to grow. Why the heck. They're emailing me to ask for my help to something. Must not be working now. Like i said i am not a podcast coach. I used to coach people in the business of podcast in a few years ago. But i was never a podcast coach and there really is a difference. Okay i've been running businesses like captivate since two thousand five and my main job here at captivate is to be the product turn and that's not the business owner which thankfully i am as well but product on and that's a specific role inside a software company wearing developed the ideas division. I work with the design engineer and experience in marketing teams on the execution of that vision and my experience of the last sixteen years in business. It's giving me the experience in just that in business or suppose moss specifically in growing something from nothing. Doesn't that sound a lot like what we're trying to achieve as podcasters we're creating something. We are refining it with building an audience for it and the audience continues to develop and grow until at some point. Maybe in the future we can make a bit of money from it

Roger Nairn and Jen Moss on the Added Value Every Podcast Needs
"So there's three main reasons why audiences resist branded podcast. I don't know roger. do you wanna take this slide. The first the versus at their. You know the podcast is always trying to sell you something. And if it's always trying to sell you something then it's an advertisement and who wants to listen to a twenty or thirty minute advertisements. A lot of our branded. Podcasts are also quite biased. They they don't really look at both sides of of Of of the story or of an issue They're quite leaning on one side. And i think podcast audiences look for both sides of the conversation when they get into A certain topic or ours wanna learn about a certain issue and frankly most brands don't know how to tell a great story and if you can't tell a great story then you're gonna lose the audience's interest and You really not taking them along with you so to gain audiences brandon. Podcast need to rise above these common stereotypes and deliver content with with real entertainment or educational value. Like just deliver a ton of value to listener. So that's where we talk about using your outside voice to reach more people. So what do we mean by outside voice. So i put a little thought into this this morning. Here's what we mean. We mean stories and messages with broad appeal we mean high quality storytelling we mean unbranded content or very lightly branded like subtle We mean content.

It's not forty state attorneys general but it is twenty which is a pretty good group led by the attorney general of indiana. Todd rocchi roquito property. Here that of course. We reported on npr as a banning schools from discussing racism. Npr is congenitally dishonest. And for some reason. My tax dollars support which. I could explain more. Npr fans what they do. That is so wrong because the npr fans. I know like. I've got good friends. Who are npr fans who just think. That's the god honest truth on everything. That's the one place you can go that you can trust to be fair on both. They're serious journalists to say about eliminating critical race theory that that is refusing to let schools discuss. Racism is as much a lie is it is accurate right. Yeah it's terrible to misleading. Just hear your attorneys general alabama alaska. Arizona arkansas georgia idaho indiana kansas kentucky louisiana mississippi missouri montana nebraska ohio oklahoma south carolina texas utah and west virginia.

Saying from the the great leap forward times have changed in men and women are equal whatever men comrades can accomplish women comrades can to women hold up half the sky and it. It's a nice thought. And if chairman mouse had gosh i like puppies. I'm not going to leap down the throat of anybody. Who says gosh. I like puppies the reason it's so silly. And and who is writing this article. Ben jonson makes the point that at one point donald trump quoted a pat buchanan and the lefty media went crazy buchanan who's written questionable.

"The meanest of over. Sure like in this group. Though miles teller and shea lean are like working actors if anything like somewhat buzzy like i was shocked he got miles tower. Taylor got press while this is probably why he got pressed. He got pressed for taking a role that armie hammer was supposed to play The order it's about the making of the godfather which is very. It's very tv. But like i was just i was just surprised i was like oh miles teller out here like punching guy and also making the trades at the same time all right cool well. This punch is really sort of interesting. So when you hear the first details of the punch the punch makes absolute sense. This is not a this is not us condoning violence. This is just a saying apparently because he got married to kelly in maui two years ago and while they were at this restaurant the original version of the story per tmz. Was that the wedding planner or someone who worked on miles is wedding. Saw him at. This restaurant followed him into the bathroom with a friend so to people in the situation follow miles into the bathroom and punch him they get into a confrontation that ends up with him. Being punched and tmz says that it's because miles owed these guys or one of these guys sixty thousand dollars for something he did at the right then. Kelly goes on twitter and says not so fast. Tmz that's not true. And i couldn't find sweet. I think it's been deleted but people are quoting it there. A at tmz. That's not true. We've never met this guy in our lives but then the story gets a little more complicated or lers extra level of layer of nuance to it. Which is that. It's not that those two are the ones who did the work on the wedding. Those two are somehow affiliated with the person who did the war so kelly trying to make it seem like this is not because miles owed money but like what else could it be not like someone hated. Whiplash like violence is always money or sex right. We'll just like it's almost like they're trying to separate themselves from the bad. They did which was not. Pay this person by being like. Oh it's just too random guys we've never met. It's like yeah but like they could have been friends of the wedding planner. You owe sixty thousand dollars to know small no small feat if you have debts in maui. Don't go back to maui like go to another island. There are plenty of them right. It's a small town essentially. Yeah they're going to know your they're they're gonna find you. It's like we've all seen bloodline actually. I haven't seen bloodline. But i have a feeling that similar to what bloodline is about. Something happens on an island and there's violence in florida. There's brothers isn't that about like. Oh it's so beautiful. It's an island but youk violence. No not really no no not really well. I didn't know so you put the miles teller tweeden here that says i got jumped by two two guys in about their never met before my life but the cool wrestling segue bud because it was a wrestling. I think there's a big wrestling match. And they were. It was like the person was making a comparison or something. I pasted in kelly. Tellers re tweet of miles. Teller's tweet saying. I got jumped by two guys had never met them before my life but yeah cool wrestling segue but i love the cheery tweeted him. Well she said it seems insane. Men have done this too many people and we appreciate your support. This is now a criminal investigation. So i guess the pressing charges you pressing charges. Julianne huff julian serving her niece. Just getting she should be selling it sending her knees to jail for this type of leak. Juliet up is gonna need all sorts of energy treatments to get all of this anger out of her body after her niece went on tiktok and said that.

It's just a it's a great place to for artists to begin while and like i've been here for eight years but i really do feel like a like it's my second year as like a artists earlier because i don't know when i worked my full time job i didn't really I didn't really create that much focused more on teaching myself using production baltimore baltimore's really made me wanna do music on at such a the club scene here like other like they're just like a lot of like underground electronic geniuses that i see like around maryland really like really wanted me to like explore electronic because i grew up as an analog anzani musician i guess that's where like live leave importance of live thrown that but yeah like a baltimore i really do and it makes sense. It makes sense so how how does it. How does the street argument curious about house street art in baltimore. Compared to maybe some of the art in san juan yes wise. Puerto rico like very very beautiful street. Art scene It's this thing called us on. Jewish is lay asandra Set is law. So there's like this place called some say an lake every year. There's like this mural festival were like Local and international street artists come to pay the entire leg. Little town like the entire area just urals. Everywhere there's beautiful Political southern surrealism color uses so vibrant. Then like there is a difference. Like i see it in baltimore too but like the light. This entire like little town is just enthralled with murals lake businesses like bars and restaurants will use like all this art like on their front door as part of the interior design at so like in active of the environment. You know like. I just wanna see that lake everywhere now and yet and leg. I wasn't really like you know. I wasn't like a very social kid up so i didn't like to network with a lot of like street artists. I didn't really do much street art but like you know coming to baltimore really laying got me more into it but whenever i go back to visit i would always just go there and like talk to like some mirrorless instead of complement their work guns. It's pretty mind blowing like a highly highly recommend you. If you're looking for like great murals. I'm looking for great murals in great food and i- puerto rico on the list. Okay that's all. That's all. I need to know because my my pr people get it. So where do you get your and we have a few questions left. And like this is like the penultimate question. When do you get your best creative thoughts. Some people get them in the shower. Some people get while while smoking. Who knows where when and where do you get your best creative thoughts. It's interesting that you ask for like the longest time years. I'm talking years. Like when i was in my teens. I had a huge creative block in like really only improvise like jam. Music and light creating art pieces. That i felt comfortable with and like songs that i felt comfortable with. I just to like critical about it and so would really change that was lay community but like in a way where like the communities always giving me like new resources new artists. Look at you like my friends here in the scene Like my friend johann is me a lot. My my girlfriend inspires me a lot be girl gala. She's a local breaker Lay you know. All my friends initiatives to keep moving forward really doesn't spire me like a lot and lake like my friends like a mad delta there like a local rap collective here Which my friend. Yo has a part of the lakes and you know and like they're setting up their own recording studio right now. A friend setting up no filter studios down and Rockville maryland the lake. I just you know my friends are always like busy. People trying to do things like having that sense of community driving forward. Y'all have a similar goal. You know where to support each other early You know rather than be like you know all competitive about it. You know the fact that this endless potential what could be the helpful reminder of how to really stay creative for me so so being in those spots with the creatives helps foster your kind of creative thoughts i think being in it is kinda helped limit those blocks also we're in a endemic so like there is a lot less than that so just staying in touch but also Lake right now. Like i'm trying to be creative in different ways where i like. I am corporate business oriented tactics like my friend of mine. Just gave me a book on like advertising like just trying to get into things. I may not be comfortable if i really have like a block and might be good to dive into things. I'm really not comfortable with goes like you. You don't really have expectations for yourself at that point and at can really you know we okay. I don't know anything. It's good that this source is gonna tell me what to do now. I can be a baby for once and like something. You're going to the gym. Or what have you and it's like. Hey this is going to suck in the beginning. You're gonna be terrible at it but as you do it a little bit more. It's going to get easier in easy. And i think that's when you're incorporating something new and air it keeps the the mind a houston my energize and it keeps it on. Its toes and would likely knock knock. I'll kind of some blocks and other because you're now focused in new areas that you're trying to develop the terrorists muscles. Ya.

"Of bored. But this is what you're saying. Let's art and music like a cat. My attention span like like it wouldn't like there's so much chaos going on lake around all the time but like music for example that was like the first like i found that i wore anything just like The earliest music memory Just miles davis record playing and You sounded silt. Lewis sounded insane. And i didn't understand it and it made me want to understand it and the same thing with our you know like that's a lot of people describe it to be when they like people who call themselves non creatives which. I don't think that's really a thing but People who don't associate themselves as artists. They'll be like. I don't understand but i want more. So that's you know that curiosity choosing to pursue that yossi will extent. You know that's really what brought me here. So in that creatively which artists musically or outside of music do you admire. Maybe a few Could go on forever. But i know. That's why i had to put that caveat at the end but let me start musically. I think without like a early on early on. I think without lincoln park. I probably wouldn't be making music. Directly hybrid theory was like crazy for me and like Flying lotus is one of my biggest. Inspirations so bats. But i i. I grew up like a punk rock kid leg. You can tell from my music. Maybe i could tell for your pitcher that i got that vibe off. Yeah i re-. I was really sonic youth nirvana growing up and like that sort of like not being able to like having like the courage to or the attitude to not want to be like Stand like diy stuff really fascinated me and then i never really get into it up to like twenty eighteen really. It's like super low out the end. The legs think lake kid cutty was like a big like intro for like it was like smooth enough to like. Sometimes it was just like rhymes over beats but now i understand lake. You know the diversity behind it now. We're not super like renaissance era of like robin hip hop right now and so. There's like so now i find constant like inspiration there like Gesture watson my favorite. Rapper is always you know like putting stuff out very influence. Awesome my friends here in the scene Also j. pig mafia would be like on aug influences local local hero. Here i got to meet him once and it was very as firing a just so like diy. He doesn't all himself. And that's what i wanna like. I wanna give out people because you can do it yourself you now. I think a lot of times when you're doing that. There are challenges and then there are challenges in their accolade. Roses be obtained. So i read that. You're you're focusing more on the live elements that such as live painting. Live music So that's more improvisational. Is it challenging work. Live or do you just embrace. It could just create well. It would have been like since high school. I was like i was like in music class. We would like learn how to jam with other people that was like the first thing to do so like working with what's going to happen but you have to like work with it and i used to be in a band back in college called slow chasm. We played like some psychedelic punk type stuff. Sometimes we would have a few shows like when we were dealing with school and but it was a lot of our shows like. We barely practiced honestly as van like we barely practiced but like we would honestly kinda nail it because we were very instinct. But we were both ready to like. We both had like that. Improvisation background and applying that to like live painting or dj. A lot of my sets Link dj much around the city. But i'm excited to do that after this pandemic But like the shows. I have gotten to do like they. Were pretty much improvised than i like to you know switched genres on the fly and stuff like it keeps people i did like. I like keeping people on edge. I feel like that's why with beat making gets hot like incorporating to beat making this live aspect to it rather than like being there and just sing with buttons or something lake is just so much i wanna do like engaging with the audience because in the end like the audiences really the show you know about like what you want them to feel and without the is there is show. There's a show for you but you can do that anywhere. that's legit. I think i keyed in on. You mentioned earlier like one of the malls for davis reference. You made earlier. And i thought like okay. You're music appreciator. Because that's jazz. You've mentioned the psychedelic stuff. You mentioned hip hop and now makes sense in terms of having just jam with like other musicians. That's a jazz thing. That's an element jazz. In like other like live music but definitely as i'm going into my odyssey of appreciating jazz more is definitely just an improvisational charles angus so you get that improv work. That's that's there so indefinitely. i. I appreciate that So ready you mentioned earlier. Actually you dropped your first musical project now. Last year this point describe how you work has changed as you mentioned linked to dc. Dj sets really happening because of the pandemic. Oh have you. would you consider maybe livestream stuff. I mean i know the audience isn't quite there that same way but is there. How has it changed for you. i did like a zoom. Dj set once zoom. How it was weird because like there was late when i would try to beat matching. Mix these two songs together. Whenever would you know. Make sink like at the same time. There was a lag on this off. Joe and when i figured out how to do it i would have to do like a second before the actual time and it worked at the end but like it was strange. I do wanna get into like maybe like twitch jane twitch it can't really keep those after but if people are there for the livestream i've like be happy to do it or i'm thinking of doing it on face to face but i get an almost sorry i almost. I can almost imagine the caller response lake doing like a dj. Said like you put your hands up and it's just a bunch of emojis like that. That's definitely something. I wanna get like back into Jiang like it's just really fun in quick for me lake Such a music. Like i was that guy like before it could. Dj out just like that guy at the house party. That was always like chewing songs on spotify. Now was like i might. Dj for real since such a control freak out funny so you. So you've you've moved into baltimore from san. Juan puerto rico. I came here for school. So what you oppressions a baltimore. You've been here for about eight years now eight years. Yeah it's crazy it's been eight years almost I just didn't really know anything about lots more. When a guy.

Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter

"This story never ends. So dale moss is now addressing. The split from clare crawley. So he's opened up about the split on social media saying basically that he's been criticized for smiling on social media but we don't know how much he's really hurt and the burden of all this and being happy as the furthest thing from his mind right now so. He shared this on his instagram stories. The also thanked his fans for supporting him during the up. Saying this time sucks but god and family and friends have literally got him through the last two weeks. He went on to say that he still loves claire and he respects her but claire remember said she had no idea he was putting in a statement and announcement in fact when he confirmed that they had split. He said it was a mutual statement. Class at that's news to me. She didn't know he's got to be very careful here. It feels to me as dale is more concerned about his fanbase about his so-called fans that he's only had for a couple of months. Let's remember and so. I think he's priorities are a little bit nest. If he's not careful if he's not very careful he's going to go from being a guy. We all loved to the most hated guy in america. Dale i know you wanna be famous. No you want to be a tv host. I know you wanna be a model. all of. that's good. I'm not putting that down. But if you blow this up you'll can have none of those opportunities instead of focusing on your twitter followers. Focus on claire. Call her figured. This is and you might. You might still not be together in fact. I don't think you will think you to over how you get out of a relationship is as important as how you get in it and he got an seemingly a beautiful way. Try and leave the same way dale dale. Honestly i've done. I've worked with celebrities. I've been gossip columnist now for a very very long time. If you blow this this is the most important moment of your life. Not just in the ocean lay but also professionally. I honestly playing with fire. My friends stop posting these videos and also to we talked about it on this show. You still under contract with abc. You signed you're a your confidentiality clause. But he's not popping up on tv. Shows i wonder if social media is covered in the contract. I'm gonna hit the phones today and find out. You're you're in a very gray area. My friend not only. Have you lost claire. You might get sued so calm down. Calm calmed island.
