Kerry Hillis, Moraga Council Member, Talks Fire Preparedness
"You've talked a bunch about fire safety as it relates to a community that has limited access to ways in and out. A cul -de -sac community, as you described it, you're surrounded by open space, hills, trees. What tips do you have for your residents or anybody regarding fire safety and preparing for the upcoming fire season? The Moraga -Arinda Fire District is great. They have drive through Long -Arinda, particularly in Orinda and Moraga and Lafayette. You will see a significant difference between the clearance, the vegetation clearance that's been achieved in Moraga and Orinda versus Lafayette. The difference is Lafayette isn't an MOFD, Lafayette has their fire service handled by ConFire. So ConFire has different regulations. They haven't required as much clearance. We are required to do very similar levels of clearance to what, you know, my mom had to do with our cabin up in the Sierras for the last 30 years, where, you know, you have to clear debris. You have to limb trees up to six feet above the ground to prevent fire. So my advice is to, you know, to, to look to your fire district, to your fire department for what their requirements are. If they are not as forward thinking as our fire district in terms of requiring them, do what you can to meet those requirements. In addition, just like you have to have an emergency go bag in the event of an earthquake that has supplies for your family, water, food, potential clothing, to sufficient to last for 72 hours, you should develop that because you never know. We have one, my wife knows where it is. The, our nanny knows where it is. I'm at work and if something happens, and this, we came close to that point two years back where we were at our other property and we saw the hill that was less than a quarter mile from our house. The one that has the graffiti all over it, ConOnFire. And I was at a business event across the state and my wife is sending me pictures of helicopters coming in and dropping flame work hardened, like right outside of our master bedroom window. And we had to be, and they were ready to go. We had walkie talkies that were charged. We had our backpack with our emergency supplies. We knew our evacuation routes to get in and out of town. And that's the other key thing. It's not always the best, even with seeing that it's not always the best idea to evacuate unless you hear that from first responders. And part of the reason for a community like ours is everyone hit the road at the exact same time to get out of town. No one would go anywhere because we, our fire chief, Chief Winokur has told us that our road system in Merage is already insufficient to handle just the people we have here now. You have a mass casualty or catastrophic event and everyone gets on the road at the same time. No one's going anywhere. So pay attention to law enforcement, public safety. We're also going to be funding for our communities and evacuation study so that we know, so we can better inform our residents what group you're in when you need to get out of town and what other modifications need to be done to ensure that we can keep people safe. Also, if your fire district, fire department has not imposed new fire standards, MOFD, I would say they have one of some of the best fire building standards in terms of what plants are safe to plant in front of your house. What safe distance there should be two feet from the property itself, whether or not you need to have sprinklers on your roof, on top of your roof, not inside your house so they can put out embers. So all of those things, they're expensive, but there's a lot of things that folks can do to prepare.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Fresh update on "nanny" discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"And then that's another whole dimension of this thing, the way men are taking over honors and awards and positions that should be for women. It's totally racial of women. And this is a way in which gay marriage, I mean, there are a couple of ways in which gay marriage really paved the way for transgenderism. And just as a historical fact, let me point out that as soon as gay marriage happened, within a year, they were already then talking in a big way about transgenderism. Within a year of that, the Obama administration came down with its directives, its dear colleagues letter that was supposed to be not really legally binding, but everybody knew that the Department of Education was going to be all over you if you didn't do what they said about the bathrooms and all that. In very short order after gay marriage, we have the whole push for transgenderism. But gay marriage had a way of, what do they say, erasing women. And transgenderism is all about erasing women, right? Two men, you got a guy like Dave Rubin and his boyfriend, Dave, and they talk about how, oh, we're preparing for these babies, and we're so enlightened, and we're so thoughtful, and we've got a whole freezer full of breast milk. And I'm sitting here going, okay, there was a woman who donated eggs to you two guys, or two different women probably. There were two different women who were surrogates for you guys. All this breast milk that you got from some other collection of women, you've probably got nannies and female role models and stuff like that. What have you done? But erase a whole batch of women who are biologically important to your child, and you've just wiped all those women out of the picture. Whereas mom and dad, when I had a baby and I was only blessed to have one baby, I was the egg donor, I was the gestational mom, I was the nursing mom, and I was there with that kid every day. And that's the human way of reproducing. We procreate. And we as Christians, I think we should insist on this, that the correct word is procreation. We procreate in cooperation with Almighty God. We don't just reproduce like rabbits. We are human creatures, body and soul, and God has something special in mind for us. Well, it's interesting because if you have a truly biblical view, which is a Hebraic view of the world, you understand that it's not a Gnostic view, it's not a Greek or an Eastern view that says, you know, body bad, spirit good. No, wrong. Like the Bible, you know, Jesus was enfleshed, incarnated, became a human being to ennoble and redeem humanity. God originally created us good. So the idea that we can somehow divorce ourselves from nature, ultimately, it's wanting to get a divorce from God, who's the author of nature. And people need to understand how this is connected, that to be grounded in our bodies, in our physicality, to be grounded in the world, not just looking at screens, not just manipulating images and pixels and ones and zeros, there's something fundamental. And we finally have technology to pull away from it. And we see that it's really wicked. It's not just, you know, like we're adding something or we're discovering something. We're really trying to divide ourselves from who we are intrinsically. I mean, the idea that a man could divide himself from being a man and become a woman. We know it's preposterous, we know it's impossible, but the spiritual impetus behind it is ugly. It's anti-God. Yeah, I think that's really true. I mean, because the Christian tradition, which is, again, this is the common heritage of the whole Christian tradition, right, is to say that we are creatures composed of body and soul made in the image and likeness of God. Okay. And so which part of that are we complaining about here, people? Come on, you know, I mean, this is what we think we are, right? And that's why I think, Eric, all these debates over sexuality and debates over marriage and these kinds of things, they're really asking fundamentally the question, who are we? You know, the early church had to wrestle with the question, who is this guy, Jesus? You know, is he God? Is he man? Is he one? Is he three? What the heck is going on here? You know, the early church spent, you know, four or 500 years getting all that sorted out. Well, we should know who Jesus is. You know, we have all that now, but we don't know who we are, right? We don't know who we as human beings are. We don't know making stuff up ourselves. Yeah. You know, inevitably it just doesn't work as well. I don't know. Have you ever noticed that, you know, stuff say it's like, you're, you're, it's like, you know, betting against the house. You're always God created reality. Now you don't believe that if you either there's no such thing as reality, which is an Eastern view, or you believe that you can manipulate reality. There's no fundamental reality. But the fact is keep trying folks, you're kicking against the goads. You can't win. You can't turn lead into gold. You can spend a few centuries goofing around and trying, but you won't be able to do it. It's reality. We're going to be right back talking to Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse. The book is the sexual state. And you can find her at the Ruth Institute. We'll be right back.

In last week's episode 150 and in today's episode, we are going to the evangelism on fire podcast archives and I am putting in your ear the top two rated God stories from all of the God stories in our podcast archives. Today, I want you to listen to this amazing God story of Gigi. She grew up as a practicing Muslim who now follows Jesus with a fierce love and passion as a Christ follower. This is one of your favorite all time God stories on evangelism on fire podcast. So I want you to sit back, listen to this amazing, amazing God story and enjoy evangelism on fire nation. I have a special guest with us today. Her name is Gigi and I'm so excited to have her on our podcast today. She has an amazing testimony of what Jesus has done in her life. So Gigi, say hello to evangelism on fire nation and tell us a little bit about yourself so we can get to know you. All right. Good morning evangelism on fire. I pray that my message blesses you today. Yes. Yes. Amen. Yes. So let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ghislaine Labar Taft, but I'm known as Gigi as my close friends call me. I was born and raised in Morocco in North Africa. I am actually the product of a French Catholic mother and a Muslim Moroccan father. How crazy is that? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That is right. They met in med school. They wed and they had two boys and a girl. That would be me. And since I am the youngest, I had to toughen up at a very, very young age. So when I was three years old, my mom had had enough of not being fully accepted by my paternal family. She didn't want to convert to Islam. And my father, who was very cool and very opened while he lived in France, became very Muslimish, so to speak, when he went back home. And that's part of the culture actually. So while on vacation, she met an American and just up and left us. My dad, who was a prominent doctor, found us a nanny who loved us unconditionally. And Pastor Mark, I truly believe that that's where my unconditional love for others come from. She really felt that in me, you know, those back. Right. That's amazing. To this day, it actually touches me to the core that someone would be willing to leave her just family to care for us. It actually brings tears to my eyes, truly, you know, so that's sacrificed right there, you know. And the reason she did that is at first she would come and take care of us during the day, but I would cry and wouldn't sleep all night because I missed her so much. So she gave it all up and came to live with us. Wow. That is so amazing. And you're right, Gigi. I mean, what a great expression of unconditional love. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so when I was six years old, my father died in a plane crash. There were 60 doctors on board. One survived to tell the tale. Very sad story. My dad's younger brother, my uncle, and his wife took us in. They had three kids. We were three. And you would think we were the Brady Bunch, except we were not a happy family, unfortunately. So my uncle, and like my father, was a practicing Muslim and taught us to pray five times a day, which is how we pray, how Islam teaches you to pray, basically. It would yank us out of bed to ensure that we had prayed. So literally we would be asleep at night and he'd yank us out to make sure that we had prayed. Not having the time to pray meant that you would pile up your prayers. Islam requires the faithful to pray five times per day and allows you to make up those prayers if you are busy or if you forget, basically. Allah is the authority and he's not to be questioned. Actually, nothing is to be questioned, period. So I grew up really fearing and hating this punishing God who sat up in heaven and seemed to enjoy tormenting me, at least that's how I felt, right? Nothing was going right at that time. When I was 16, I found my mom through the embassy, the French embassy, and I ran away. I literally went to school one day and ran away. My mom lived in New York. She sent me a plane ticket and I came to the US with not even my toothbrush, I tell people. My brother, $20. And that's what I had in my pocket. So you not even a toothbrush and you had $20. That's all the money that you had with you. That's all I had with me. And I crossed the ocean and came to this country with absolutely nothing, an empty heart, broken empty heart. I had left my brother and that's what happened. So it took a few months because we had to wait for the visa. My mom had gotten me a visa and I left Morocco. I never returned until 2013 when my brother, who's biologically my cousin, but as I had said before, we were three and they were three. So we call each other siblings, brothers and sisters. When he got married, he insisted for me to go back. And that was my first time back, 80s. So of course being the way I was, I looked for love in the wrong places. And I met a young man and we had a very bitter divorce and I moved to Florida. I was an empty shell and I studied religion, trying to find gods all over the place. I thought, well, if it's not in a guide, there has to be a God somewhere. And I landed on an ashram studying Buddhism. And I felt like that Buddha's teachings were calm, loving, and that was something that I could follow. Meanwhile, I earned my degree in teaching in education, but couldn't find a job. So I had to move to Charlottesville, Virginia to teach French and Spanish at a local high school. So that's pretty much what happened, like how I grew up, so to speak. That's an amazing, unique story of your life. It really is very different. So let me ask you this, Gigi, like when you came to this country, to our country with only, again, you said no toothbrush, only $20 in your pocket. What empowered you to have the courage to make that move with only $20 in your pocket? My brother wanted me to leave. He knew, my older brother knew that my family was trying to marry me. So in Islam, they marry people at a young age, really, or something. And people were starting to look at me and ask my uncle for my hand in marriage. And he was considering it. And at the time I was 16 and my brother wanted me to study and be educated and do something with my life. So he's the one who pushed me, really. Yeah, that is so awesome. So how did you discover Jesus as your savior, as a once practicing Muslim? Well, one day my friend Bob and his wife invited me to Efford Baptist Church, which is a church here in Savannah County, for their daughter's baptism. I really didn't want to go because I didn't believe in Christianity. You have to understand, for Muslims, the Trinity is not only foreign, but it's absolutely horrible. How can you be God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, right? It's just not heard of. So I really wasn't interested in religion and Christianity, but remember, I had a big heart and love that was instilled in me. So I went with a gift, because I love to give gifts, and I really did not go for any religious reasons. After all, what kind of a God would allow a three -year -old to be abandoned by her mother? Or what kind of a God would allow a six -year -old to lose her father to be raised by an authoritarian uncle? emotionally, My uncle physically, and sexually abused me, and that was hard for me. Yeah, so of course you're thinking, if there is a God, what kind of God will allow that pain and suffering into my life? Right, absolutely. And so at the end of the service, the pastor made an altar call, which I ignored completely. Actually I was thinking, I need to buy food, I need to do this, I need to do that. And he then asked everyone to stand and sing, give thanks with a grateful heart. And honestly, I don't even remember what happened. All I know is that the flood of tears emanated from my eyes. I couldn't even stand, and I crawled to the altar. Oh, wow. You literally, you crawled to the altar? I could not walk, Pastor Mark, and that is the God's honest truth. I couldn't even carry myself. I crawled there, and while I was crawling, I felt all the guilt from years of sin, all the shame, all the hurt, all the anger leave my body. Wow. I just felt instantly renewed, like a renewed body. And it was all replaced with love, with hope, with gentleness, with kindness, with goodness. Really the fruits of the spirits just oozed out of my body. The love of God, that love and peace that really encompasses all understanding. And literally, I met Jesus, my Lord and Savior, at the altar that day. Wow. And you literally, you weren't going to let anything stop you, Gigi. You literally crawled to the altar to accept Jesus as your Savior. I really did. I really did. Physically, I couldn't even do it. I just crawled. That's the bottom line. Wow. That is what I'm talking about. Wow. So you weren't ashamed of the gospel. You knew that Jesus was calling you and you crawled to the altar to receive him. And on your way there, he is totally cleansing you. And you're being reborn with each inch that you crawl to the altar. Wow. I just absolutely love that. You know what? You got me fired up. Just tell me that story of you accepted Jesus as your Savior. Wow. It's amazing. I still sometimes have to pinch myself just to be like, wow, I can't believe this happened to me. Yes, I was saved. I didn't feel the big, you know, anything. It was big. Right. It was big. Oh, wow. Wow. So if there's anyone listening to our podcast right now and they're thinking about coming to Jesus and, you know, accepting him as your Savior, but something that's holding them back. I want you as someone who literally physically crawled to the altar to receive Jesus. What would you tell that person right now? I would just say, just go. What have you got to lose? Honestly. Yeah. What can you lose? Just run. Don't even think about it. Who cares what others think? You know, the whole time I was there, I was like, oh, my gosh, what if somebody sees me? What if somebody recognizes me and my sins? And I just run, crawl, do what you have to do. Yeah, that is so good. Gigi said run, crawl, do what you have to do. Just don't hesitate and wait to accept Jesus as your savior. If he is calling you right now, don't wait. Just crawl to him. Run to him. So Gigi, how long have you been a Christian? I've been a Christian since 2003 when I received baptism. Wow. Since 2003. So what was your life like before you made a decision to follow Jesus? So honestly, as a Muslim, I was very bitter. I didn't understand Allah. And since nothing was to be questioned, we just went through the motions and we followed the teachings. I was empty, though. I was a high school teacher, so I was a contributor. I was really contributing to society. But I felt numb on the inside. I loved on children, but I had no love for myself. I chose abusive men to fulfill a void and I would then leave them or they would leave me. And that gave me like a feeling of justifying my victimhood. I was just a victim basically in this world. It was a dark period in my life, to be honest. Yeah. But living without having a relationship with Jesus Christ is really rocky. It's a costly life. I mean, the Bible is clear. It says the wages of sin is death. And I was dying on the inside. Yeah. Yeah. And many times that spiritual death will lead to an actual physical death. Exactly. Exactly. And maybe not for me, because I was teaching, I was coming home, but I was dying on the inside. And so, of course, you have anxiety takes over, depression takes over. So, yes, eventually, you know, suicidal thoughts were my middle name at one point. Oh, wow. That is darkness. Hey, Gigi, if there's a Muslim practicing Muslim listening or anyone who is outside of the faith of Christianity and they've been searching or they're considering searching for Jesus as their savior, especially to a practice of Muslim, you know, what would you what would you say to encourage them? I would say read the Bible. It's very factual. The history doesn't you cannot you cannot refute history, right? It's written. And I would say so study it for sure. But but have an open heart and just just come and visit a church, just meet the people. There's no questions that will not be answered. There's no doubt that will not be answered. People will put their arms around you and not judge you. I remember saying to Pastor John, who was the pastor of the time, an effort Baptist, I remember saying, but I don't understand the Trinity. And he would say to me, he would put his arms around me and say, keep coming back. Yeah, I would say keep coming back. That is so good. That is so good. Now, I know evangelism on fire nation. You're probably wondering what I'm wondering, you know, about Gigi. So, Gigi, how did your life change after you became a Christian? So after I became a Christian, I felt really free from the inside out. I felt free from oppression. You know, we're in a time where people talk about oppression. I felt free from oppression, which I had created in my own mind. And I will venture to say anyone who feels oppressed is because they have created that in their own mind. I had been a victim as a child, but now I'm a victor. I'm victorious over everything. Yes. My self -esteem is stronger. And I did that really by speaking positively as well. The Bible says we are snared by the words of our mouth. And I choose to speak life every day around me, around the people that are with me so that I can continue to be a positive person. I don't feel broken anymore. I don't feel ugly. I don't want to commit suicide anymore. I don't pursue every broken man to try to fix their life. That was my thing, right? Let me find the most broken person so I can fix them. Yeah. So I actually stopped dating. So I had decided to stop dating for a while so I could date myself and get to know myself. Yeah. Say that one more time. That's so good. I want everyone to hear that again. For sure. I stopped dating, going from one man to another, and I started dating myself. I had a relationship with myself. I started loving on myself, taking care of myself. And I prayed to God. I wrote down actually what I wanted in a man. And a year later, I met my husband, Mike. And we have been married for 21 years now. We have an awesome kid together, which is a whole story with our son, actually. And I wish I could say that everything was easy and smooth since I've been a Christian, but that would be lying. Right. It's not that smooth. A lot of people think, well, I'm going to become a Christian and everything will be perfect. And that's not so. We had, for example, we had to, we tried to have a child for three years and nothing happened. And at the time, like I said, I was a teacher at a local high school and I would see these 16, 17 year old get pregnant. And I would say, God, I'm serving you. I'm here 100 % for you. Why am I not getting pregnant? Right. We depleted a bank account with in vitro fertilization. And I was praying one day and I heard God loudly and clearly say, be still and know that I am God. And then he said, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And right then, right there. And then I went into all the fertility drugs and I flushed them in the toilet bowl. And I said, we're stopping this. God knows my heart and knows I want to be a mother. And that's what's going to be. Wow. So you totally trusted in the Lord with all your heart that he, not the fertility drugs, not anything else, that he was the one that's going to provide you with a child that you have a heart desire for. Yes, amen. Exactly. That's what I did. And I remember the devil one day saying to me, see, you're not pregnant. Like every month would pass. And you say, see, look at the God you serve. You're not pregnant. And I would literally open the front door. I could still see myself doing that. I would open the front door. I would put the Bible on the floor. I would stand on it and I'd say, devil, flee out of my house. I am standing emotionally, spiritually, and physically on the word. Amen. That's praise God. That is so powerful. So powerful. Two years later, two years later, I remember I even went and bought a pair of little shoes, like baby shoes, and I would put them in the living room because that was one thing with my husband. I'd always have to pick up his shoes. And that was very annoying to me. Right. So, so I bought little baby shoes and I would put them in the living room and pick them up and put them back. And it might sound crazy to some, but you have to visualize what you want in life. You have to speak it. You, if you want it to manifest, you have to manifest it by faith first, really. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That is so true. And I want to encourage everyone listening, Evangelism on Fire Nation, whatever dreams God has put in your heart right now, I want you to visualize those dreams like Gigi did with having the expectation of her child and speak those things which be not as though that they're going to be and trusting God for him to bring it to pass and for him to manifest your dreams. So that is so good, Gigi. Hey, what now? This is the question of the day. OK, what what's one thing about your testimony that you've never shared with anyone? OK, so I have I've never shared with anyone that I have had two visions of Jesus, and that was while I was a Muslim and Jesus was rescuing me. One, when I was nine years old, I tried to commit suicide and I was we had we had a house that was very, very high and I was upstairs and I thought I should throw myself from the second floor building. And and he appeared to me and told me that he loved me and that scared me so much that I just rebuked him right away. Like I was like, no, I literally said no, because there could not be a Christian God in a Muslim family. So that I mean, if my family had heard of that, they would have destroyed me. I don't even I can't even imagine what could have happened to me, honestly. So so I just rebuked that and let it go. And the second one was after I had graduated from from college and all, I was in my bed and I was just crying because I felt like there was nothing for me to do. No one loved me. I didn't care. I was a victim. Nobody cared. And I wanted to kill myself. And I closed my eyes and I pictured myself throwing myself in the abyss. And I felt this hand, this huge hand pick me up and put me back on this mountain. And it happened like three times that same day, that same moment. And when I looked up, there was a bright light around me. The room was all bright and actually my eyes were open. So it's a it's a true vision, like not a dream or anything. And and Jesus was telling me that everything was going to be fine. Wow, that's absolutely amazing. Hey, I want to thank you so much for, you know, sharing those two really their personal touches from God. And I just I considered an honor and a privilege that you're sharing that part of your testimony that you've never shared with anyone before. Gigi, thank you so much for having the courage to do that. Thank you for having me, Pastor. Absolutely. Now, if someone's listening to this podcast right now and they haven't committed to following Jesus, what's the number one thing you want to share with them? If someone is listening today and I hope they are, I urge you to give your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross to show me and you have to love that unconditional love, really. You know, it's one thing to love, but it's another thing to have that unconditional love. He offers us forgiveness of our sins. He washes them all away as we confess with our mouth that he is Lord. He took someone like me. Sometimes I think God has a funny sense of humor. He took someone like me, a piece of coal, and turned it into a diamond.

A highlight from THE HASH: PayPal's Big Crypto Market Splash; How Is MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Bet Turning Out?
"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. Hey there. Happy Monday. Welcome to the hash here on Coindesk TV. Thanks for watching us. Thanks for listening to us. If you prefer the podcast, a lot of good stuff on the Coindesk podcast network as well. I'm Zach Seward. That's Will Foxley, Jen Sanasi. We're here to take you on a little sprint through the crypto news of today, Monday, August 7th. Let's do it. I'm starting us off. PayPal, got to love a good PayPal headline. Remember folks, PayPal started the last bull run and this may be a sign of something more to come. PayPal to issue dollar pegged stablecoin based on Ethereum, it's a pretty big headline. This has been in the works for a while now reportedly, stretching back to 2022, so not new news per se, but reportedly they've been working on adventuring further into the crypto ecosystem with their own stablecoin and now we're seeing it in partnership with Paxos which was its initial foray into the crypto world in the first place. Really big headline. Kind of interesting to see a big fintech provider issuing its own stablecoin with Paxos. Pretty crazy to see this as PayPal went from highly custodial crypto buying and selling service to now issuing its own stablecoin on Ethereum. Pretty wild and a lot of responses around the crypto community today on this news. Jen, I'm going to throw it your way. PayPal, taking that next step I guess. I hope this kick starts the next bull run because I could use some excitement that doesn't have to do with hacks and exploits. I don't know if it's going to though, but when I read this story, I just think this is web 2 .5 at its finest, right? We talk about people being educated, people understanding what's going on, what we talk about here on the show every day and I think the best way for that education to happen is by using the product, getting out there and playing around. I know we've called it crypto university sometimes on the show and I think that PayPal is making that easier. There are so many challenges and roadblocks when you're playing around with crypto and so I think that this is really exciting and when people are able to use PayPal's stablecoin, they will understand maybe the ins and outs of crypto a little bit better and they'll be able to take that next step and they themselves may be able to progressively decentralize in the way that they interact with crypto. So all in all, I think this is a good news story. It reminded me of Visa's announcement, I believe it was in 2021. Visa said that, I think settled a transaction with USDC and then earlier this year that conversation came back around. So I hope to hear an update soon on what Visa is doing around stablecoins and I hope that these big financial players playing with stablecoins, getting into it, taking the customer on that progressive decentralization journey will push Congress to finally come to some kind of agreement on a stablecoin bill. So those are all my thoughts here, but all in all, a great news story. Wendy, what do you think? This is absolutely atrocious. I don't like it one bit. I remember I used to actually be very bullish on getting a stablecoin like a CBDC before I did a lot of due diligence and I had quite a few experts on my channel back in like 2019 -2020 right before the panorama to kind of talk about it. I was like, this is great. It's going to be great for mass adoption. I'm super excited. But then I actually started looking into it and seeing what it looked like and seeing what they were doing in other places of the world and different types of control that they can have, how they can resend a transaction, how they could automatically remove money from you, how they could monitor you. So I don't like this. I don't think it's a good idea. Unfortunately, it's coming. One of the things that does make me a little bit worried is that they're going to directly compete with USDC. I made some content about it this morning. In my personal opinion, I feel like the public servants are allowing different large entities that I have a lot of control with to create their own stablecoins to essentially compete against each other to see which one does better, which has better surveillance, and then pick that one to become the ultimate CBDC, because it doesn't make sense to me for the United States of America to have multiple different CBDCs. I feel like they're going to need to have one. But I do understand the need for competition. But at the same time, we're going to take something that's going to actually replace the US dollar. Do we need competition with that? How is that going to work? And also, it's going to be Ethereum. And that just makes me very, very bullish for my Ethereum bags, not selling anytime soon. I have one question on your rebuttal there, Wendy. PayPal can already rescind transactions. They're already doing this. Doesn't this just kind of open up crypto to a broader audience? And should they have the concerns that you just mentioned? People can do other things. Of course they should. They don't need to interact with this. Of course they should. The whole reason why we Bitcoin, why we crypto is because we want to have control over assets and we don't trust third parties. We always want to make sure that we're customing our own assets. So again, like when you use a third party like PayPal or the banks or whatever that is, it makes me a little bit nervous to think about that. I don't want people having control over my money, even my money that's in a bank when we had the bank runs that were happening and the banking contagion that the public servants blamed on crypto. That was a little bit worrisome to know that more than $250 ,000 isn't insured plus the limited amount of reserves that FDIC actually has for the entire deposits of the United States of America. That is worrisome. I guess I'll zoom out a little bit and say like all stable coins are third party issuers, Like Tether is a big third party issuer that has money sitting in a bank account somewhere. The Tether is sad though. It's going to zero, Zach. Come on. I mean, it's all like, I will say like stable coins are a killer use case, right? Like arguably they're the most killer use case that crypto has brought to bear on the world to date, right? The ability to send money cross borders, fast, quick, easy. And to see PayPal take this step saying, hey, we kind of endorsed this vision of making stable coins a bigger part of how commerce gets done in the world. I think that's a huge signal. I think it's really fascinating to see also that it can be built on Ethereum is also notable. The bigger questions that you're bringing up are certainly relevant to the stablecoin conversation. I don't think they're unique to PayPal in this instance. I think PayPal just becomes another in a long line of issuers that we've seen here in the past three, four, five years wake up and say, oh, wow, stable coins are a great way to zap money around the world in a digitally native environment. Let's do it. Whether it's, you know, BUSD worked with Paxos and issued a similar thing. Now we get to see PayPal USD sort of attempt to do something similar. I think it's super fascinating, but I'll toss it back to you, any of your thoughts. One of my team members just sent me something from the actual, from the CoinDesk article, I believe it says focusing on education, understanding and adoption of digital currencies. Basically PayPal is focused on increasing consumer and merchant comprehension of cryptocurrency, stablecoins and central bank digital currencies while working closely with regulators as the industry evolves. So again, this is going to be a marketing tactic, in my personal opinion, they are working very closely with regulators and I think that what they're doing is they're going to get this stuff pushed through and they're going to make people think, oh, this is great. This is fantastic. This is going to help improve your quality of life. But really all it's doing is just making the United States of America more of a nanny state. And I understand that banks and PayPal, whatever can go ahead and resend those transactions, but that's a whole reason why Bitcoin is very appealing and same with other crypto assets. Once you click that send and you confirm, that money is gone and there's no way for merchant chargebacks. There's no way for your assets to be taken just as long as you own your private, you know, you have your private seed phrase stored safely. So again, this is very worrisome to me. I don't like it, but I will grift and I will make money as ethically as possible with everybody else. It's a really deep history corner for everyone. This whole thing that struck me here was like comparing Tether, which is offshore of the United States, and then PayPal, and it's now launch of PaxUSD. And the fact that we've done this in American history with our economic system for like about 200 plus years, going back to like the founding fathers with Andrew Hamilton, where we essentially outlawed any sort of competition from overseas, build systems internally, and then set those systems out on a larger world and began to dominate. We've seen that in tons of times within like U .S. history with different industries, whether it be like railroads, the oil industry, to modern finance. Now we're seeing with stablecoins too, right? Where we ban Tether from being able to interact with anything, they were chased off seas in many different ways by so many different lawsuits. And they're huge, right? $84 billion stablecoin, the biggest stablecoin out there. And then we sort of created these parameters for someone to build something within the United States that's going to be like rubber stamped by all the agencies that are in Washington. And now we're seeing that. So we're seeing the birth of like an American stablecoin here, much the same way that USDC has tried to be. I think PayPal can be even bigger because it already has brand name and the fact it's on everyone's wallet or on their phone at this point. So that's my history corner for you guys. It's been a little bit since I've done that. But I think this is - The deep cut.

Georgia Has Never Been Poor in Culture and Spirit
"Home brothers, you got a lot of the stuff back here, but you also get into the old southern raw genre, not necessarily, but Leonard Skynyrd, you get, you know, the Marshall Tucker band. You get Lana rhythm section. I still have memories of Atlanta rhythm section, you know, in the late said, you know, doing champagne jam. I mean champagne jam, yeah. Oh my God, filling up ticks, you know, Georgia Tech stadium back when we're doing those kind of things. And that's just, I think, John, from my perspective, it comes from a culture of sane. And people don't realize this in South Jordan but in north tour as well, that Georgia rural, you know, for many, many years. Atlanta is, of course, blossom, but it is still that people we came from a society that was, we were poor in resources, but not poor in culture and spirit. Exactly. Exactly. And so what we had was is you would have families or people in communities get together and on Friday and Saturday night they would have what we call hooting nannies or they would have people over and everybody would be cooking barbecue and they'd be playing guitar singing or they singing in the church and this is how that culture just developed. It is. I had there are two boys in my paternity, the holder brothers, Gable and wit holder. And they could pick guitars and sing and harmony. It was a true, it was a true southern tradition that they learned from their parents, going to church and all that stuff. And it was so amazing to hear. I remember they did a version of 7 bridges road by the eagles. And I was just left speechless by their ability to play the song and to harmonize at the same time. You know, I have Travis trit on that list too. And he is a hometown favorite because my son's gonna get in the background here. He's interested in the music conversation. But Travis Tritt, a growing up in Marietta, Georgia, post oak tree, you hear stories about Travis's grandfather being a bus driver in that area and I used to get my hair cut at a place called bob's barbershop off the sandy plains road and highway 5 and I never saw him there, but the rumor was that Travis used to go there to get that mullet trimmed up and looking good.

A Tense Exchange Between Mitt Romney and George Santos
"More interesting to me is the exchange between George Santos and Mitt Romney, where Mitt Romney gratuitously says josan or something like, well, you don't belong here. You should be ashamed of yourself. And of course they are the never trumpers are like, look at Mitt Romney. He's just a Paragon of honesty. He's not a Paragon of honesty. First of all, who decides if George Santos belongs there, it's obviously the voter is not Mitt Romney, who appointed them like the nanny of the Senate. Well, George Santos isn't even in the Senate. So even Mitt Romney were the appointed nanny of the Senate. He would have no say over what's going on in the house. This guy is just a let's call him a moral megalomaniac. He's just astonished at his own rectitude. And he's become a tiresome buffoon. So my advice to Romney is to zip it. Let's Santos worry about himself. In fact, I think probably Santos has at this point a brighter upward future than you do. You're on the downward slope Santos will see.

Katie Couric's Nanny Comes out Swinging
"Katie Couric doesn't want to be a news again. Not on the big three networks anyhow. She got plenty of money in the bank. She's worried about a $100 million. She had a real estate all over. She's not going to starve. So now is a great time to tell the truth the whole tooth, whole tooth. I see. 'cause every time I look at her, I think of those small baby teeth. And that's why truth became tooth. I swear I thought I was gonna say tooth. Tell the truth the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth. Either way you know what I mean, it both words make sense. So she survived the wrath of female anchors, but hey, guys, now comes the real fight. The dirty fight. The fight from the scorned nanny. Oh, I love when it gets down to this. This is the mud level. Mud, mud wrestling level. The other day in page 6, that nanny came out punching. Now, she didn't much like that Katie wrote in her book that this former nanny was delusional obsessed and tried to destroy her marriage to Jay monahan. So now the nanny is saying, oh, you want to hear some shit? Okay. Katie used to pick her nose and put the snot on the pillow. She lay the boogers out on a pillow at night. Her husband even showed me. She used to fought up a storm. And I don't know, maybe because of all that farting, the nanny says that Katie also took to turning her dirty underwear inside out instead of changing them for new ones. I'm guilty of doing that too. But I had just slept over a friend's house and I forgot to pack another pair. Also, I was 12. But if you've been up on the whole nanny story, and I was 'cause it started when I first became a gossip columnist back in 1991. This is going on for a long time. The nanny's story seems to be a bit of get back for what she and Katie have been fighting about for a long time. There was a, there was a lot of single white female to that relationship.

I think it's important that we we teach them that. It's okay to not be okay. Sometimes and that that's hard because as a parent we won't to guard our kids. We want to protect them. We wanna make sure that they never. They never feel sad. They never but all those emotions are things that it is so important that they feel and that they learn how to work through. So i think you're absolutely right with genesis in and letting her know that it's okay to not be okay. It's okay to be sad but this is what we're gonna do we're going to. We're going to be sad and we're going to acknowledge are hurt and we're going to work through that so that we can be a whole person so you know we're actually working.

Khloe is such a pleasure to have in my class but we have little girls and they love drama and they love to get involved in everyone's business and you're talking about seven and eight year olds and she's like i'd just want khloe not to get involved. I want her not to to engage in that. Because it upsets you and and it causes you to be anxious and and all these failings and she's like. I just want her. If there's an issue that she can't resolve just come to me and so it was it was we were able to have a great conversation. Khloe in it opened the door for me to talk to her to be like okay if you ask someone you know not to do something. And they don't do it. You can't engage them and get all worked up an all upset over it. Go to your teacher. she's she. Is there for you. She wants you to talk to her and she will help you through it.

We're still i'm still finding at forty eight and with khloe that i'm still trying to navigate the best way to do certain things and so best of luck to that and thank you again. Genesis for watching.

"Yeah maybe something. Did you do that while you were having sex or while you were masters sex because i feel like cock rings or more for the women so that we can have the clitoral while yeah being penetrated think we just use it once and we never used it again. I think that's been my attorney. It seeps like i just happen to have a track record of being guys who don't like to use rings but it's golders other stuff that vibrates that are also useful. This one didn't vibrate no you. Yeah the vibrating ones are what about. Oh so going back to the port. The good news is though. I feel like we did hit on all the major characters who need to have sex with each other having sex with each other so you had sheffield friend who did get together in a porn midway. They did but what was also nice as you had and niles also get together which did happen also in the show very very end right then and that's definitely not a spoiler niles being that's the butler in the yeah in the business partner. Okay you know there was a lot of build up to sheffield and friend. Though i thought their sex would be more more loving at some points but it was just porn bucking. They were in the bathroom. What you expect more. I expected more. I wanna feeling. How often do you run into love. Like percentage wise in the porn. That you've watched great question. Be quite frank. I do skip past. A lot of sex scenes lessen the parody so there are some parodies where i have seen some good old like this tender shoutout to april o'neil. She's good with that her and daisy. Do kati very good. Depending on the scene partner there with on getting to that point. But i don't see it too often. I'll say fifteen to twenty percent of the time of tenderness. It's kind of like working with co workers. He knows some co workers. You have fantastic chemistry with and some don't and it's just a job like anything else right right right. Wow so real. In my opinion the worst chemistry in this movie was with the delivery. Guy the daughter. Oh really i thought they were in although he. I didn't really want the sex. I just meant the first kiss. I clicked in and he was just standing there like arms to his side while she gave him like a very long blowjob and he was just like cool. I have to double check when this porn was made. Because i know it's definitely an older porn. It was actually really funny because the guy who played the delivery boy. so that was played by steph. Gamble who is one of the hottest like male porn actors nowadays and seeing him back then. I'm like oh this is like when he first started parodies and stuff. I do not expect this happening. His buddy is impressive. it's it's very cut body. Yeah it's like very very bad. He like clearly goes to the gym..

But i clicked through that one day or like in character and she was really putting on a show and shoot or jiggling doing crazy things and he seemed like genuinely amazed by her and they were both yeah kind of like doing scripted lines while inside of each other and i i appreciate it the commitment bits you know what is great about. Tommy's said he absolutely always commits. But i did find it amusing. Where you know is so interested in getting career advice and he just went straight for. Yeah career advice suck cock. Yeah and she was like okay as an actress. Has this ever been presented to you of. Hey you're some career advice suck my cock. No you know. I think maybe if it had been presented that transparently. I might have participated the problem. Is they make. It seem like it's something else that's gonna happen. It's like if it was that transactional if they were like wool. Sign the contract if after we do. This is what i'm cool with us. But it's it's the trickery. That's the problem kids. So i guess this is a note to hollywood on how to sexually harass performers. Yeah be very clear on me. All the data i know. Is there going to be a contract is not. This is it performance based mayor based job. Yeah what's the role in getting. What's the pay is at one blow. Job is at three. Like i just want all the data points because then you know i'm an adult woman with agency then. I can make the decision about whether. I want to participate in the blow job or not what i always confused about. What these these gentlemen that like us sex as a way to like blackmail actresses is like the moment after you come. You're like you comeback so reality right so like like god damn it. I just signed like a half.

You know but. I would like to see that. I'll send it to speaking of things that i guess no one expected. So hillary muff that is i feel like i haven't heard the name hilary duff in a while but it's kind of expected from an older porn. So hillary muff arrives eventually at mr sheffield's home and she implies that she has a interested in meeting someone that she saw their photo taken from the paper and mr sheffield's family was taken a photo of she doesn't outwardly state. She wants to hook up with his son so people make assumption. It's mr sheffield which leads to a fun plan. That niles has later which leads deboning. But i have to say that throughout this. I do like that. How they're dropping references to show. Like how france never revealing her age. Oh yeah the back and forth between like niles and friend is kind of weighty and vary innuendo ish without like sheffield knowing what the heck is going on just like in the show. Yeah they capture that the spirit of their conspiratorial like friendship. I really clicked through. That won the brighton. And the hillary duff didn't interest me. I watched a little of maggie. We'll get to it but it's really when we get to some super side characters. Val and the manager. I was about to bring up. And that's the thing when it comes to these porn so sometimes you have to expand the universe because you can't just have the older children and the main characters boning so we had val one a fran drescher friends who boned hillary muffs manager.

It was a ship. Show that i remember that. I'm really glad i followed that woman home instead. got those those digits. I've confession by the way i. This is a little on them. But i haven't really watched the nanny itself so i've seen clips and i know the like she's like a hot janice from friends like i know her voice. I know fringe. Rusher can't leave. You don't know the nanny. I know i've never really seen. I don't know how to watch. But i do know the archetypes. I know the father handsome british guy. She's trying to fuck him. And so i can pick up with. The corn was putting down. She was working in. A bridal shop in flushing queens. Tiller boyfriend kicked her. Those crime scenes. Well so i actually watched the pilot episode right before we started recording. Because i wanted to say well. Does this hold up. I did too okay. It does hold up so well. I know do you out of curiosity had idea when it aired all i now. Is that the reason i wanted to. This porn is because when. I was like nine. I was obsessed with the nanny and i would write. My dad got me one of those books. Christmas where you can like right celebrities to their agents or whatever and i wrote fran drescher so many letters and then she did a book. Tour came down to houston and i like photos of like nine year. Old me and for andhra are being leg so as a long time ago. I'm only seventeen now. No it was like a million years ago. The show actually aired from ninety. Three to ninety nine and i couldn't believe when i was watching it. How good the timing was still. I don't know it just seems like a lot of sitcoms are a little slower pace and they're laugh tracks are a little too much whereas with the nanny. Just let's put it this way. I rather watching the nanny than the big bang theory. Yeah yeah wasn't that actual live studio audience and the big bang theory is like a classic laugh drag bullshit or am i wrong. I don't know. I looked into this. And i was really surprised. Fran drescher actually requested that the show provide a prescreened audience because she had a fear of having random strangers invited to productions. Because i think someone broke into her house and was a horrible stocker so what actually ended up happening was central casting started to cast laugh. I who would be recorded during taping and then the laugher would be at an into post production so this actually was the first of. Its kind where you had professional offers for a show. I was like the bloomberg method of just like having staged audience members at debates but it was the first crisis actor yes absolutely.

The Friendliest Countries
"Is a fun episode. I'm not really sure it'll be on your list and guys this is why specifically. I'm gonna ask you to give us your list on instagram at extra packing peanuts. Let us know the from these countries because this is a term that can mean a lot of things with a lot of people and it's very dependent on your specific experiences in those countries right. Because you know everyone's going to have different experiences that was. That's what's fun about traveling. Someone could go to a country. That's there's someone aspect or i didn't. I didn't see this that friendly. It's because you're obviously having your own unique experiences. I have an honorable mention. Okay and i want this be on the list. And but i'm just gonna put on mention and then move on and maybe talk about a little later but australia. It's on my list. It's pretty high at my awesome perfect and then we can get into australia than that. Yeah we'll get into that okay. Cool well then here. We go each have five. We're gonna countdown again. We always tell you we. When we do the list episodes. I don't know how she doesn't know my so. There might be some crossover. I don't know what's on harris or where it is. She doesn't mind so and you always lead it off ladies first number five. My number five is cambodia. And i have to say that. This is because of one person individually the nicest human. We have ever met dr as. I have said this multiple times on other podcasts. that is boondi and there are other people in cambodia who are really nice too but boondi was driver the very first time that we went to cambodia and you know we have since seen him again. When we've been we've connection on social media you know we're facebook friends. He is one of the loveliest people we've ever met in the world and so therefore cambodia has to be on my list. Yeah he's the i will say. This is the nicest person i've met ever traveling. And i debate putting cambodia on the only reason i didn't was because we haven't had that much experience with a lot of other people. They're the people we have have been super friendly so again. This comes down to like. What are you considering. You know this gut reaction again. It was harder for me to make this list i think. Then he'll is the nicest human we have ever met and the gentlest soul. We've ever met and an absolutely phenomenal individual. That many of you listening. If you've been to cambodia and been to see him reap have used him as a driver before based on us recommending him and he is. Everyone has come back and said. Oh my gosh everything you say about plenty is completely true and you probably even under sell like i. I can't believe how nicest guy so if you go to see him reap. We have a post on our website. One extra peanuts take the two minutes to find it. Get his number and e-mail boondi you will be. It's the best two to three minutes you could ever because he will make your experience. Incredible and I can't wait for the day. That we get to see him and his wife and his family again because they are absolutely lovely people My number five. And i'm going to stay in that same region carry on because i put thailand on and i also have talent on my list but yeah we'll talk about it now just different cultures different people but a lot of similarities. Because you're in the same region and you know it's called the land of smiles and we have spent more time in thailand than than most other countries that we've been to and we have more people there just because the way we've traveled through. And you know everyone is just. They're just happy to to be a lot like there's a there's a happiness that permeates that culture where you could have someone who in our is you know is poor and and has job. Maybe we wouldn't want to do or something like that. And he's sitting on a boat cutting up pineapple as we're on a on a little trip out to this island and he's just smiling so big because he's just on a boat cutting pineapple and it's delicious and we're having a good time because reverend good time. This guy's having a good time. So thailand just overarching. -ly deserves its name. The land of smiles. yeah. I definitely agree with that. It's higher on my list. It's number two and every time we've been to thailand which has been quite a few times as trump said. We spent a lot of time there. One full month just in chiang mai meeting type people. They're always so friendly and we went to tie wedding. not uninterested. area was our friends hometown and we didn't know that many people there because it was her family and her friends of her family was huge. Like two hundred plus people. Everybody was so friendly than we actually went out after the wedding with some of her closest friends and it was just such an experience. Yeah we we've met so many wonderful friendly people thailand okay. So thailand's you're number two. But what's your number four my number four co stabby guy So we have been in costa rica now for two and a half months which is one of the longest times we've ever spent in another country. Of course right. I think this is the longest continuous. We've ever been in another country other than when we lived in japan. Yeah i think so and that being said everyone here is really friendly. And we don't wanna leave. I mean the eighty five and sunny and paul has to do with it. But the i mean all that's great but the people as everyone who's traveled knows. Yeah the people make the travel experience what it is and from the day we got here even actually before we got here. I was looking for a babysitter hours in like this. Tamarind facebook group like so many people are sending me. Hey this person that person you know. I was like wow. Everyone seems really really helpful. And then we got here and not only are people helpful. But they're just overly nice and same thing like heff foster her watch in the ocean and we put a thing on that facebook group again and saying. Hey we lost his watch and all these people were tagging this other guy who like two weeks before said he founded apple. Watch wasn't the same one but you know just random strangers are like trying to help us get this. And that's just the strangers. That's not even the amazing people that we've really bond with probably a lot of ex- ex- goes yeah but all the all of the local costa rican people who are called tikos yep. They are so friendly from the guard. Who is at our condo. Who the hell on how who speaks very little english but is so kind and so lovely and is so engaged with our children like it's the point where like of course we're we're walking a lot more leaving we're walking and he says hello you know like pure vida and what's up my friend but then even in the car leaving and he wants to come over to the car and we put the windows down he talks to the kids. The kids pounds. He is just wonderful. And that's just one person mean our nannies. Here are costa rica and they are lovely and so wonderful and having vitus to a birthday party and bring the kids crafts in toys for them to play on just like welcome us into their lives and it's just yet people are great. It's really nice very welcoming community and yet to the point that wit sometimes wakes up in the morning and he goes. Where's on hell is on l. out at the You know out at the entrance. Where the fords. I don't know we'll run out there to go find on l. First thing in the morning. So yeah i i'm with you. Costa rica definitely a magical place. And i think that when it don't look at my most are looking for the audio heather is blatantly. My list is off. The table have looked at his list. And so i followed and wear his vision by number four. I mean i guess at this point rica on your list and you just tell my number four interest. My number four is one. That i'm not sure i was happy to have this on the list. Because i'm not sure. It's going to make your list or nine and this and australia are very similar to me. In the way that the people like to just enjoy life and that is ireland. Okay yeah i know what. That's a good thought. That's a really is not on my list kind of forgot we went. There wasn't the first gut reaction country to be on my list. But when i looked at a map usually you and i will look at a map just to just kind of spur some inspiration and i pulled up the map when i was going through and i was looking at europe like spain. People are pretty nice. Portugal was really cool. Italy annex saw ireland and mike ireland. Yeah like to me some of the experience. We have an ireland per personify friendliness. Like they just want to have a crack right crack meaning a good time so you know irish are known for wanting to just have a good time. There was plenty of nights. We'd be sitting in pubs. Music would start flowing. People were talking like again. There is really open. Friendly and enj- enjoying life

But for many people it's strange night and some one of the oldest parts of the game. I mean other than the rules in trying to explain the rules to people the the names of the fielding positions. You get them in baseball. you know. First base second base out in the outfield catches and all the rest but it cricket you have such fielding positions such square leg so it doesn't like a deform person with with know with a suit of obscure slightly pointy square leg. No that's not a fielder. Position perpendicular to the pitch and leg. Side of the batsman is said to be placed at the square lake meaning. The position got its name was square meeting narrative. The line of the crease of the wicked. So then you got the slip. It got his name after. Captain started placing field of behind the waikiki. Take advantage of any slip or mistake by the batsman. The galley is a narrow channel. The field was there to get hold of the ball passing a narrow gap. Golly and then You get probably. My favorite of all is the city point. And and you have silly mid off you silly points. Basically the silly position is a position in front of the batsman on the off side and as a presenting its name because it was so silly to stand there so close to the bathroom as you get hit in the head and then he'll ever sorts of nasi injuries so i definitely live in arava all neighborhood to say the least suburban but this morning that walking the hounds and somebody left outside. You know full. Five days before trash day Some planks with nails protruding. I mean it did look like a bed of now and of course clumsy chappie. The butler did Did step on one of the boards and the nail to go into the shoe. Don't worry was no need. No need to be concerned. No no letters or postcards of concern please. But i mean what a ridiculous today to leave. Basically a bed of nails outside your house sorts of mana injury and who knows. What else could happen to to a passer-by somebody's slipped on the ice and embiid have their bottom impaled on the now. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous. So you know i'm not going to not gonna complain to the neighborhood association or anything like that but it made me think nor do i sorry but not to to shore if they about the history of the bed of nails so apparently the history of the bed of nails or kentucky asya thorns can be traced back to one of the two epic sanskrit poems of ancient india. The marriage brighter written between four hundred and two hundred bc. I mean this was literally what was outside the neighbor's house. The bed of now's is an oblong piece of wood which is was size of a bed. Maybe a small bed midget bats with nails pointing upwards out of. It appears to be the spectator that anybody lying on this bed will be injured by the nails but this is not so the seeming the. Now's the numerous enough weight is distributed among them so that the pressure exerted by each now is not enough to punch the person's skin. i mean. it's for magic. Tricks or physics demonstrations. Famous example would be a volunteer lying on a better. Several thousand nasdaq pulled on top of them. Said the boxer placed on the board and then smash reggiana despite the seemingly unavoidable force. Volunteer is not even armed. I mean the bed of nails can be used for meditation particularly asia and has certain health benefits such as back pain relief through russia less traditional settings such as sign centers. Use electrical retractable bed of nails. Whether you use it lies on a flat plastic bed with holes in it and then can activate the machine to have nails rise up all at once. The now should retract. Before getting off the bed. This retraction eliminates most dangerous part of the better nails getting on and off the bed. I mean that's how i feel when i get up in the morning. Getting getting out of bed in the morning is probably the most dangerous part of the day thing. So just look at a couple of guinness book of world records. Most motorcycles driven over the body while laying in a better now the cheese by burner biki or backs the monsters schlock on the twenty six october twenty fifth denia seventy motorbikes driven them in two minutes while lowering the bed of and the heaviest concrete-block break in a bed of nails achieved by neil hardy In two thousand twelve hundred fifty blocks wing seven hundred seventy four point nine nine kilograms placing his chest and broken then. My favorite of all the most melons chopped in half on sunday stomach with samurai swords while laying on the bed of nails achieved by johnny strange when he chopped ten watermelons in half on the stomach of his assistant. In thirty seconds and most most layer bed of nails sandwich achieved by this team in india on the twenty third of february two thousand eleven when they performed a five layer bed of nails sandwich. So the whole theory is the nails create more blood flow to the area and this can help breakdown fat groupings increasingly the backs of my thighs. Let could be sitting on the wicked chair if you do the whole better nails things so anything. That offers debate break-up fat groupings is fine by me. But you know what. I.

Trevor Noah Doesn't Want To Hear Your Vaccine Excuses
"Hundred thousand covert deaths a number that. Nobody wanted to see and as painful as that. Is you have to admit you have to admit it is nice to see. America's president actually take a moment just a moment to recognize the toll that corona virus has taken. I mean the only time the previous president showed any sadness was when he accidentally deleted fox news off of his. Dvr what a day for americans. What does that day. My sweet hannity has gone. The good news is that the number of new infections has plummeted in the last few weeks. But what's interesting is the number that they've plummeted to is where they were lost july. Which at the time. Everyone thought was so horrifying that the country immediately started locking down again. And this just goes to show you that your perspective can change based on where you're coming from. That's it's like. If i go to tech right now wolf i'd probably be like this is my life but if i went from being attacked by full wolves to one wolf. I'm probably be like what a relaxing way to stop the week. So look this is why it's so important to get people vaccinated as quickly as possible. And don't give me any excuses about how you're too busy or it's not convenient last weekend and nine hundred year old. Seattle woman walked six miles in the snow to keep her appointment because the roads hadn't been plowed. Which is incredible. Although if you believe people stories walking miles snow is what they do all the time. They love that shit but still if a nine year old woman can do it. You can do it too. I don't tell me but trevor. I'm not ninety years old too young to get the vaccine right now. That's also no excuse a strange story now. Showing the length to florida women were willing to go to to get the vaccine. They're caught dressing as granny's just so they can get the shot now. Here's the thing it worked for. The first time around officials say the women are thirty. Four and forty four years old so you can see one of the more abundant and long cardigan. Didn't make much of an effort to cover up a vaccinators thought. They looked funny so they were stopped before getting their shots. And that's when they found out both women had faked their birth dates. Now officials want to know how they were able to get away with getting the first shot. The women are not facing any charges but police did yell at them calling their actions selfish okay. This is outrageous. You call that dressing up as a granny. All that woman did was put on. Its own and that other. One didn't do anything to wig hunch over or even easier just download the facebook phone. I mean if you got that you're seventy five minimum. If you want to teach away to the vaccine you at least have to put in the work. No one would have booked charade. I'm pretty sure. Mrs doubtfire wouldn't have gotten the kids back if he's just showed up like hey. It's me mrs doubtfire nanny. How did they even think that they could pretend to be old women at that age. I mean personally. I blame porn. You know they start putting women in the category of twenty six. Of course we have unrealistic ideas of what granny's look like but what's crazy is they would have gotten away with it if the doctors hadn't gotten suspicious. Hey wait a minute. If you're a grandma how come you haven't tried to set me up with one of your grandkids yet.
Morning Edition
Nearly 3 million U.S. women have dropped out the labor force
"Not long after Donald Trump arrived at the White House, he disbanded and office that focused on challenges affecting women. President Biden is now resurrecting it. Women's rights groups hope this will help them make progress on things like paid family leave and affordable child care. Here's NPR's Melissa Block. The wish list on Biden's agenda for women is long restoring an expanding reproductive rights, combating gender based violence, reducing maternal mortality, and he's pitched a slew of economic proposals. Major structural disruption requires major structural change. And I feel like thinking big right now is exactly what we need to do. So now is the time That's the co chair of the Biden administration's new gender Policy Council. Jennifer Klein. You know we're seeing because of the health pandemic because of the economic crisis, and, in fact, take care giving crisis that's been layered on top of it. These are core issues core issues, Klein points out that air hitting women hard and especially women of color. Just look at the most recent jobs numbers. In December, women accounted for all 140,000 of the country's net lost jobs. One factor behind that, with so many schools and day care centers closed because of the coronavirus. Many women have had to drop out of the labor force. That's been disastrous, says Joan Williams, director of the Center for Work Life Law at the University of California, Hastings. Mother's already We're at the breaking point in the United States. I mean, we already had a choc your system that was basically a Rube Goldberg machine and the coronavirus brought that machine crashing down. Williams says. What she wants the Biden administration to do is to recognize that Just as we don't expect workers to get to work without physical infrastructure like bridges and roads. We can't expect workers to get to work without a care infrastructure. What would that care Infrastructure look like for Williams? That would mean subsidized neighborhood based child care, paid family leave Universal, pre K and $15 an hour minimum wage, especially during the pandemic. Single moms have had to choose between putting food on the table and leaving young Children home alone. Now. Part of the reason is because the minimum wages so low that there is no way on God's green Earth that those moms can pay for childcare. The paid caregivers are also reeling from the crunch. President Biden highlighted this when he announced his covert 19 relief plan last month. Let's make sure caregivers mostly women, women of color immigrants. Have the same pay indignity that they deserve. Advocates like I Jen poo, director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, are heartened by what they're hearing from Biden. Her group represents workers, including nannies, home care workers and housekeepers, actually focusing on how we're going to make Thies jobs, good jobs for the 21st century. That you can take pride in and earn a living wage with benefits. That is a really big breakthrough. Conservatives, though, are leery of an agenda that carries a hefty price tag and they warn, will lead to crushing government regulations. Charmaine Yost is vice president of the Institute for Family Community and Opportunity at the Heritage Foundation. My biggest concern is that all of the proposals that I'm hearing coming from their side of things inevitably seem to come back to big government intervention in government programs. As for raising the minimum wage in the midst of a pandemic, when many businesses are suffering so badly if there were a time that you could create, that would be the perfect time to not Raise the minimum wage. This would be it with such a slim Democratic majority in Congress. Biden's agenda could have a tough time gaining traction. But Fatima Goss Graves, who heads the National Women's Law Center, is undaunted. Her group has issued an ambitious list of 100 demands for Biden's 1st 100 days. Basically, what we're asking this administration and Congress to do is effectively walk into gum. We need them to both undo things that have been harmful and have been Holding this country back and launch us forward in a way that we're stronger for it, Graves adds. This president doesn't have the luxury of coasting in Melissa Block NPR news

Especially back then when our second kid came into the picture fairly soon after her nanny had started with us. I was pregnant with him when she came so she kinda knew she was signing for kids. We did yearly raises in those days. And when i say because at some point we hit kind of a little bit of a ceiling where we just started adding other things like increased bonuses and increase vacation time at cetera. I wouldn't say we added specifically because of the second kid but we did increase <hes>. Compensation anyway and i will say that you know just like for a parent sometimes. It's helpful for a caregiver to have the toddler out of the house for part of it so they can focus on the other kid especially if they're going to be doing some housework duties as well so back then. When annabelle was three in cameron was one that was probably one of the hardest parts of her job. Say harder than it is now especially because for the most part all three go to school for a significant portion of the day. But i had alan in preschool at age three even if it was just for four or five hours that really broke up the de for time that she would just have with a newborn time in part. When that new warriner one-year-old even would be napping so just took the load off a little bit so sometimes it doesn't you know it's not an either or plus particularly in non cova times preschools had have benefits to something to consider. That might make things easier for your caregiver. If you're adding more than one can. Yeah i mean. I would say like in general with any.

"Vacation. I don't get it. But then when i come back and you like the carbo load is america. It's the complete opposite and this is why this is why and italy in austria about thirty years ago when they started seeing a huge spike in the gluten intolerant. They notice they were like okay. We'll have a life of no bread. No pasta that's their lights and so they differ staple right and so they did a study on the white commute so they noticed that the gluten intolerant criticize handle it better because it's known for less glue in and And it really the white so because the wheat is the most superior wheat the white is the most superior white flour. So it's naturally enrich. It's never been genetically modified. it's one hundred percent organic. I mean it's got everything that you would want in a flower and our flower in america has just been so genetically modified in process now so many ways that this is why we have issues and so we eat. Tell all of our followers. We can't say that it's looting free. We can't give that stamp of approval. you know. Try at your own risk but ninety nine percents of all gluten intolerant and it's crazy but we even have some silly acts that can testify that they can have it and that's a beautiful thing because number one it was taste for us. It was like okay hands town our bread or cookies. Everything it better and here. It's your gets it and get it. They've been doing it. They still by the sick for thirty years so they get it but so now you get all your your commute. Grant her from montana so we partnered with the farmer and we are now the number one. Us distributor of the white komo. We sell the whole week to we sell it in the berries that you can grind your cell. The beautiful thing about the berries is that the whole week commute it will lack your entire life. It never fire so that's really great for like food storage and on that is amazing and then we've partnered made our own food. Nanny brand on the white week commute. So it's a little different then. You're all purpose but it replaces your all purpose but because it's a white we it's it's just a little more dense and so you gotta go under light you're normally used to so that's why i hurried. It's i could. And i wrote for the love of commute cookbooks. Five my that's crazy. Five months i mean i was going crazy and i have four little kids for kids. Yeah i've got four tiny. And i work every day on instagram. If my full time job so i kept all of that up and writing the book and fencing the recipe but everything in that book is made for flowers are still married barely times getting barely barely keeping up with me but anyways yeah so that's why i wrote the book because now you have the measurements and we are becoming so famous for our muka. You've never had a better bread in your life. You will never buy another bread ever so are. Are you selling the bread the flour. That's the dream actually because so many people just want to buy the bread they they're like really not read. Yeah so i but i. I literally every single day on instagram. It's almost like a cooking. Show i you make. I show you how to make dinner. I show you how to make the bread. I basically soup feed you. Because i'm so passionate about this lower and about eating food and enjoying life and I want you to get excited about it. And i feel like that's been a big part of my mission. I wanna get these women back in the kitchen and then we have a ton of men that are making our bread and just get them in. Get him excited because Let me a thing that i've noticed in my generation like i was just out of lunch party yesterday and all of these girls there were ten girls there and they said you really eat your food and they. They asked me to really bread there. Like there's no way you can look like that and your bread every single day and this is what's been so sad is we are this new generation it. They just believe that bread is such a no. It's it's like a bad word in their vocabulary and really these women are starting to believe that they can't have it and they can't make it for their families because they're just gonna get fat and it's not healthy and so far from the truth it's it's like what is life without bread. I can't even imagine it smells coming from the kitchen and just the satisfaction when you're eating this homemade delicious hot bread with homemade butter with my house butter. I have a cow by the way and making all made butter that that is life and so. That's another thing that i'm trying to talk about. Is this like no. You can eat everything you of in crave with enforcing control and i do eat my food. I do eat my bread and if you want to eat the healthiest most delicious bread. That it's the komo flower you you. You can't find better. It's it's an energy green. It's got everything it's got protein in it. It's the best the best see. I totally agree with you. And i tell people all the time. It's a lot of its proportion control. Exactly not supposed to eat a three pound burrito for lunch. Yes you're exactly. You're not supposed to have a twenty ounce steak you know now now you can't meals yeah didn't you can. But it's really. You shouldn't. And i i don't know it's like social media can be some great thing and it can be also such a you know such a downer in in other ways. I mean they're different. Everybody needs to find the accounts that up. Let them the most right. You know they don't. They shouldn't be watching people that make them feel lesson or anything like that. But i can't explain to you the main that right me on the daily that are like thank you for just telling me that. I can't eat these things that i don't have to be on some special diet and working out so many hours a day in only counting crows and i'm not saying that all of that is bad. I'm not going to say that but it's just like no. This is the way you can have a healthy lifestyle in something. That's gonna last your entire life. And i feel like as a mom if i'm not the one that's teaching that to my kids how to eat all the amazing.

So i wouldn't want to wish it away because i've really enjoyed seeing that kids learn grow for that first year although weekends and evenings in such babies are very challenging. Sarah how is our weekends holidays going for you with kids these days. Yeah and in full disclosure. This question came from it. Cut this intro. Inspiration came from instagram. Or someone just wanted to hear. How are we days with kids. We're going these days. So i thought that would be fun to talk about. And i wanted to know from laura's perspective if her number of inker events has changed at all since she had a baby. So we'll see what she says. Ours have changed recently. As i mentioned that jimmy has stopped napping so we have this built in structure of leg in the morning rush. Home get asleep. Relax take a nap while she takes a nap. And then get up and figure something out and now all of a sudden it's like oh that's structure doesn't have to have to constrain us anymore. Necessarily i still would like to have some kind of afternoon. Quiet time which i mentioned previously. So you know. We're working on that but you know if we're both off. We try to do some kind of outing most days. I know some people are able to just putter around the house. I think the ages of our kids were just not there yet. It's not very enjoyable to spend all day in the house into the weather is terrible and we're forced to than that it is what it is but otherwise we are either going to a park. We're trying to go hiking or we are trying to check out the zoo or some other kind of like attraction since it is a nice season and because pandemic so that's kind of our current structure and then we either eat lunch on the go or eat lunch at home although eating lunch and the goal has gotten harder recently because again pandemic but then when we get home we are a little bit more lazy in the afternoons. Some screens typically come on and then we've still doing a very regular rotation of night on saturday and sunday. i typically. that's like our family. Neil where i cook something and it can get a little fancy last week. Cameron requested crab. Again so i cooked a bunch of crabs. We had the little things to open them. Made corn potatoes and beans and stuff they. It was like a nice family dinner. That sounds really awesome. I wish my kids would have crab while samuel eight lobster and crab so yes. He's he's that kid. I'm the others. Don't know what they're missing well with a baby who is crawling everywhere and up on furniture and such. There is no puttering around on weekends. Or here's there could be one person puttering around on the weekends but that means that the other person that needs to be watching the baby And if that is not mutually agreed upon that can lead to resentment on one part or the other so we really have to kind of trade off and say okay. Here's who's doing what at what time so each of us can get our exercise in or any trips or other such things. We need to do figuring out with the other kids activities. Henry is still taking to naps at this point Trying to figure out okay. Will the morning nap the afternoon nap. It's kind of hard to go anywhere. But then again with the pandemic. We have not been doing that much anyway so probably by the time things really start opening up for that possibility. He's gonna be in the next stage which will be fine because then we can go do a morning activity come home to the afternoon nap and have that time that we we know will be quiet because the older kids can generally disagreement. Alex is a bit hit or miss. Although usually if we get him on the computer he will watch it for hours So kind of think of it as camp youtube but The only promise of the other kids decide they want the family computer so we make sure that they do not want the family computer. Please watch something on your phones. Watch something on the ipad. go do something else. Do not take the one computer that alex wants. You know kids do grow up. I had this great idea back in early. Twenty twenty and i had hired basically a second part time nanny partly to help with driving in the afternoons and then to do saturdays as you know full day of childcare so that we could do the older kids activities. Not have the stress of having somebody home for the baby's naps or somebody having to watch the baby on the sidelines of games and things like that and then of course with the pandemic we did not that was not able to continue. That particular person didn't actually want to keep coming whether that was allowed or not. She was not comfortable doing so. So that was the end of that. And so we've just been on for weekends and you know i mean it was probably something i will look into again as things scale back up because we haven't had as many places to go but when we do again i think we're going to like we will have to have somebody home in the afternoon while the baby naps. Possibly as jasper is fourteen. Maybe that person can be hemmed so yeah. I haven't entirely thought that weekends are not exactly relaxing. They says
