"Luke chapter 9 versus 13 through 17, but Jesus said to them, you give them something to eat. They said we have no more than 5 loaves and two fish, unless we are, to go and buy food for all these people, for there were about 5000 men, and he said to his disciples, have them sit down and groups of about 50 each, and they did so and had them all set down and taking the 5 loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, instead of blessing over them, then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd, and they all ate and were satisfied and what was left over was picked up 12 baskets of broken pieces, a feeding of the 5000 very familiar story to followers of Jesus. And I read it here. I want to lead us to pray according to it as a reminder of what Jesus desires to do through your life and in your life in that sense, just imagine this story from the perspective of the disciples like you think we don't have near enough resources for all these people. And little did they know who they were talking to in Jesus. It's like they were standing in front of Niagara Falls and saying, I don't think we have enough water. And Jesus, who owns everything with all authority in all creation, is more than sufficient to meet the needs of 5000 men plus women and children who are hungry and so she just takes these 5 loaves and two fish and he blesses them as you praise and then he breaks the load close and what I love is he gives them to the disciples to set before The Crown and just imagine being in their shoes. You get the spread and you start handing out and you go back and you get more. You go back and get more and go back, I just figured it looks on their faces as they're looking at each other smiling. Where's all this coming from? It's amazing. There's more bread. There's more red. We got bread for this 50 over here and that 50 over there, and this 50 over there. It was just 5 loaf. We got all this bread in our hands, like they were so astounded overjoyed as their passing out all these bread and fish and then they pick back up 12 baskets, every one of them coming back with a basket of broken pieces. Do you realize that Jesus one has all authority and having unearthed today that he is able to meet the needs of so many people around us and he has called us to be the instrument through which his miracles are made known in other people's lives.

Holly mino news. One person is dead following a fire last night in snohomish county, the Everett fire departments as cruise responded to the fire at a four plex, a few blocks south of southeast Everett mall way, just before 1130. The fire was under control by early this morning, the person found in the home who died has not been identified yet. A stunning new twist in the murder of four university of Idaho students, including a man who grew up in skagit county. A university of Idaho professor is now suing a TikTok user and self proclaimed psychic who claimed without evidence that the professor was involved in the murder last month in those shocking videos the TikTok sleuth Ashley gallard named history professor Rebecca schofield said she ordered executions of the four students. Her videos were viewed millions of times. Moscow police called this the most high profile piece of information so far in the case. We want to say is we are the official source of information. And anything that comes from other sources is either rumor or speculation. Trying to keep those misinformation things out, professor schofield says she never met the four students or had them in class. Her attorney says the statements are false, the defamation lawsuit is just to protect her safety. The TikToker is not backing down, saying she looks forward to this entire case going to court. Police report getting 12,000 tips so far, but still no suspects. Denise Whitaker. During the over two and a half year closure of the west Seattle bridge, nearly 130 citations were issued to drivers who used the lower bridge as a shortcut, and now as northwest news radio's Brian Calvert reports from west Seattle those fines are due. Only certain transit and priority traffic were allowed on the lower crossing from March of 2020 through September of this year. I think it was a hassle for everybody who had to go around. I followed the rules. I didn't take the low bridge. Many did not, and they were caught on camera. There had been somewhat of a grace period, but with Grinch like timing the city has announced those who haven't paid their fines for illegally using the lower swing bridge now must do so by January 30th. But it was me, I did it. Yeah, I probably did it about 20 times. Each citation carries a $75 penalty netting the city 5 and a half $1 million. But 74,000 of these citations remain unpaid. They'll be turned over to collections if not taken care of by the end of January, which means either paid contested or in some cases you can actually do community service instead.

So yeah, that's something you want. And it's not when it came in. It's not when you opened it. It's literally when it when it came in. Steve, come up and visit us in the new studio as soon as we reopen. I'll let you know. Maybe you could sit in on ask the tech guys to show our new show. Starting next year, Spencer ASTRO nerd on the line from Charlotte, North Carolina. Hello ASTRO nerd. How are you doing there, Leo? I am great. Did you see that? Was it the pleiades this week? The pleiades. Pleiades was that there was a beautiful meteor shower. Yeah. What was it? Media shower was cloudy here. Oh, it was a beautiful one I'm told. Maybe the best of the year. A very good meteor shower this time of year. Yeah. What I called you about was last time I geminis, I'm sorry. The geminids. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The last time I talked to you, I was talking about the weather along the eclipse path. Yes. I found a map for you. Oh, that shows we don't want cloud cover. We don't want the thing that kept you from seeing the geminids this week. We definitely don't want in two years when we go see the solar eclipse. And you were telling me Niagara Falls might not be as good as Austin, Texas. This time. Yeah, go to a website called eclipso file dot com slash 20 2014 and it has a series of maps on there that take about 20 years worth of data and average them down and show median a median cloud amount for the United States along that eclipse path. Well, isn't that cool? Medium, cloud fraction. And that and you want to see that you want to see obviously a blue sky, a median cloud fraction of zero if you can. And so this is the prediction. It doesn't look good for Niagara Falls. I must say, Texas is not the lowest. West Texas is, but it's better. It's green.

"It goes to the parts of the plant that look good. It's like putting lipstick on a pig. What makes signs become particularly mad is that by the early 2000s, there were ways to produce chlorine without asbestos. Though that would have required Oxy to retrofit the plant. It's cheaper to extend the permits by lobbying. So instead, some Oxy employees believe they paid with their health. For NPR news, I'm Sarah boden in Niagara Falls, New York. All right, turning back to you, Neil and Kat. I know you spent the better part of a year reporting this story for ProPublica and you heard from many workers in the chemical industry who've been exposed to asbestos. Can you tell us more about what you found? Yeah, in fact, we spoke to more than a dozen former workers at the Oxy plant in New York, and they said asbestos had hung in the air that it had accumulated on the lights and the beams that it was even inches deep in some places. They were protective gear for some tasks, but they walked in and out of the building throughout the day without special suits or face masks. One guy we write about even seemed to have some always stuck to his mustache. And just to be clear, experts told us there's no safe level of asbestos exposure. And that the situation in this plant was totally unacceptable and fraught with danger. Now, we should say that we reached out to Oxy for our report. The company said that the health and safety of its workers was its top priority. It also said that the accounts we heard at Niagara Falls were inaccurate. But it wouldn't specifically say what was incorrect. Okay, so in your story, you say it looks like the U.S. might finally ban asbestos after all these years. How realistic is that? There seems to be more momentum than we've seen before. In April, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposed ban on asbestos, a move that many public health experts said was long overdue. But that rule isn't finalized yet, and it may take more than 8 months for that to happen. Meanwhile, the chlorine industry is fighting really hard to defeat the proposed ban or win some kind of an exemption. Once again, we're seeing the industry make the argument that the companies use asbestos safely. They've also got some real political heavyweights on their side, including a dozen Republican attorneys general. Now, we did speak to mija friedhoff, who oversees chemical regulation for the EPA. And she said her agency was not going to back down from the science, and that our reporting really underscores the need for decisive action here. So yeah, there's one line from your piece that really struck me. You write that asbestos is the quintessential story of chemical regulation. What do you mean by that? That's right. But we've seen here is a case of industry really calling the shots and unfortunately workers paying the price. And it's not only that. This is a test case with huge ramifications. There are a lot of observers who are looking at it and saying, if the EPA isn't able to ban asbestos, a substance that we've known is extremely dangerous for more than a century, will it be able to protect the public from any toxic chemicals at all? We've been speaking to ProPublica reporters Kat mcgrory and Neil Betty about their new investigation into asbestos. Their full story is on NPR dot org right now, and I should mention they're reporting is ongoing. So if you have tips or your own stories, you can go

"I'm looking down and we've got these, I mean what looked like ancient turntables and they probably at that point were about, I don't know, 7, that may be closer to 8 years old. And I had to put the little 45 down and learn how to queue it up, bring it up on the board. And do all of that. And I did it on my own. I had there were zero training. Done. That make sure, you know, he said, make sure you play all the commercials. And the idea And everything else was on my own. To show you what kind of business this is. It's a fun business. But some of the people that are high up in it, I remember when this guy was one of the biggest consultants in all of the United States and for talk radio. And he told me and I was working, I was working, I just about to get fired from the radio station in Niagara Falls where I started doing talk radio and didn't want to do it. And I knew I probably was going to get fired, so I was sending out tapes and resumes to different consultants. And this would have been in, I think, November, November of 92. And I got fired right around Christmas time, and Bo, but so it was either November or December that I sent him stuff and he said, you're horrible. You really have no, you have no reason to be in this business. Get out. Seriously, was that blood out? Yeah. So that would have been November or December of that year. And so very quickly, I ended up working part time at a station in Buffalo. And then owned for a couple of months. Then I got hired in Rockford, Illinois. In April of that next year and was there to only February. When I got fired from there. And then got hired at WLS for a couple of months, and then the number one station in Buffalo at that time came after me. Because I had always expressed interest. And I get a call one day, so it would have been because that would have been like a march. I think march I got the call. As soon as I got to WLS, our great affiliate that we're on now. I get a call one day. It's the same guy. So we're talking 14 months later. Doesn't remember has no idea that he had sent me that letter, saying got out of the business 14 months earlier, and said, you're really great. You're a seriously, I mean, you're adding something, you've got something that nobody else has. Really love what you're doing. I didn't change that much in 14 months. I was still the same talk show host that I was 14 months earlier. And it just shows you in the business. Sometimes it's not even the quality of the work that you do. It's the real estate that you're on. Yeah. You get to a big station and it's like, okay, if they bought you could do it. And I can buy that you did it. Right. But I went from suck to great in 14 months. Get out of the business to, man, you've got a unique show. Yes. You do something that's just so unique. Yeah. And he was a good guy to work with, and I never told him. I never told him. But he was huge after that and helping me with my career. And so that's why there's a few people like that in the business that I just will never give their name because I owe them so much. But I have to tell the stories because the stories are great. They just start. I mean, they're all special stories. I have a list of names, people that I really, and I'm going to post those on Twitter coming up. No. I don't know of anybody. There have been and you and I have talked about it off here because you're sharing old stories about the career. 38 years for me coming up September fourth. I just passed 40. Yeah. And I started when I was 18 in high school and I never, you know, well, at least up until now. I've never been unemployed the one time I got fired, I was hired within the hour across the street. The competition. But and I love the job. It hasn't been an easy path but I love the job. But you and I will talk about things that have happened and everything else. And when I left the highly rated, in fact, very popular rock station that I was at to come here to this job. There was a person in management that wasn't happy about it and didn't think it was a good move for me. And the whole thing. And I get it. I understand that. And I still don't look down on that person, you know, we can clearly now, I made the right move. I believe. But that's the thing is that look, you run into people and you run into management in any career field, you're going to do that. And sometimes they have confidence in you. Sometimes they don't sometimes it takes something for them to see that confidence or to have that gain that confidence. And the fact of the matter is that my motto and actually the model for this is my dad. You show up every day and you try and learn along the way. Yeah, I mean it's people like what they like and people have different attitudes and opinions and what you learn very quickly is not everybody's going to like you. I was fired from a radio station

"Well, you were talking about the 1893 exposition. First off. I mean, there's generators at Niagara Falls that Tesla put in that are still running. Yes. To help lighten the young. The only practical way to light New York was AC. Right. You hear about that now, too, if you go through some of the exhibits up by Niagara Falls. I mean, at least finally, Tesla, 'cause when I was a kid, Tesla was considered to be this complete Yahoo who was just nuts, you know? I mean, that was the image that was presented. And we've come a long way from that now, which is, which is a good thing. So I started reading about them when I was in college, but you didn't have all the stuff you have now like on the Internet and everything is so much easier to find information on them. Well, I think you have just a lot more information in general not only the Internet, but more people studying them because it was easy to discount them, count them before. But ultimately, I don't think that Edison and Tesla hated each other. I think there was a certain amount of mutual respect there, but clearly Edison always made it out that he was going to get the credit no matter what it was. So I'm sure going to AC was not easy for him. No, no, it wasn't. You know, and there are those who said, you know, Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. He simply figured out how to sell it. And while that's not accurate either, the reality, though, is the business acumen is more important than the engineering know how. And that's really too bad. Okay, well, I just thought I'd talk about something a little lighter. Absolutely. Well, actually, it's not lighter when you think about it. It's just a heartbreaking story that Tesla lived. You know, we're talking about him now, but this had to be torture. But. Yeah, well, our world is better off, but I don't think he cared. I think all he cared about was the research. I think he was kind of his thinking was a level above ours. Several levels above ours. I think there's a lot to that, but I also think that there were a lot of people who discounted him on so many levels that it couldn't have been easy. Yeah. You know, so we'll probably never know. But I think if I had to pick a word to describe him, I probably would say tortured. Yeah, it could be. I don't know. But you know, thank God for him. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Our world would be so different. Yes. Yes. Well, and that's hard to say. It would be a different timeline. I'm not thoroughly convinced that ideas don't come about ultimately by one way or another. So much of what he did would have come out at a different time by a different person. I think. Because a different way, of course. You may have come out in a different way of course. Absolutely it would have. But you know, in an interesting that most of the advancements that we see, you see developing almost simultaneously in three or four places around the world. It's almost like if the universe says, okay, you can have this now and suddenly people think of something. So I'm sure it would have come out, but not quite the way he brought it out. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're called. And hopefully everybody will be interested enough to take a look at it beyond beyond movies because I know there's movies and stuff. Well, there's a lot of good stuff out there. This is quite a huge Tesla Facebook pages now to worldwide. People are really starting to look into stuff. Yeah. And everybody still free energy, especially nowadays. Well, and that, of course, that, of course, is the big thing. If he really did develop that, is that was that his ultimate undoing because you know how many people didn't want that to happen. Well, yeah, JPMorgan. Yeah, well, the list is endless. Yeah. I want you to figure it out. You couldn't charge for free energy. Well, that's right. So there's the real story. Always good to hear from you, thanks. Okay, thanks, Riley.

"You can set your mind on something that at times seems wild, crazy, and unattainable, but through ambition and creativity, you can make it happen, he told the publication. So, okay, so is this a crazy stunt or is this ridiculous or what? I don't know what to make of this. It's interesting. Meh. Just kidding. Actually, just to back up for a second, I actually think those two guys are cousins. I read that somewhere. Yeah, they say right here. I think that's correct. Yeah. Yeah, okay, sorry. Yeah, yeah, that's right there. She was already known the M 25. So I think they're actually going to kill the engine on these when they do this for the dive. But another C one a two jump pilot is talking to is like, sounds like a great way to shut cool the engine. But I was thinking if you overshoot a little bit in the engines running, that's not good. Not good. You definitely don't want that problem. You want the propeller. Yeah, I don't think they're worried about the engines. No, I don't think so. But the amount of budget, the next comment was Red Bull has deep pockets. So who cares? No, I have no doubt that they're going to be able to pull off what they're intending to do. I think they've probably already put a lot of training in time and effort into figuring out how to do this correctly. These guys are exceptionally experienced skydivers and pilots and they have a lot of experience doing this exactly, but things with transferable skills. So I'm excited to watch it. I think it's going to work out for them. Where are they doing this? They're doing it over the water somewhere. I know, but I mean, is it like in the U.S. somewhere? Yeah. Off the coast of California. I think over the Pacific somewhere. Yeah. Not a 100% sure. Yeah, I'm hoping that it will be over an unpopulated area just in case they don't. If they don't get back into the, it'll be in the water for sure. The airplane. Either way, it's going to be an interesting stunt to watch or a nice one 82 crashing into the ocean. Liz asks a very important question. I'm sorry to interrupt you stuff. No. Do you think they'll have fire extinguishers in their pants? Since they're over the water, I'm not saying I guess you probably don't need it. The post crash fire. They can forgo that essential piece of equipment this time around. Presumably they are going to have parachutes. Oh yeah, a 100%. Hope so. What do you say, a 100%, but that one guy? Yeah, exactly. That he was planning on. But they don't have giant nets for them. They have been guys who jumped out without parachutes. Made a midair rendezvous and received their parachutes to complete a safe landing. Yeah, that was yeah, that guy's crazy too. It wouldn't have surprised me if these guys had done it without parachutes, but that'll be probably their next one once. I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure they have parachute for this one. The only thing I have against this is the fact that there's absolutely no reason for doing it whatsoever other than to make money. And ratings, man. That's a perfectly legitimate reason. That's the reason. I was going to say, that's the reason that most people do things. Do anything. In this world. And they've gone through, they've gotten the appropriate permissions to do this. You know, is it good role modeling for people who might not make such good decisions in their lives? Perhaps not. To make those people feel even better. About their bad. So much like Russian YouTubers who stick fireworks up their trousers. You know, I just think this is completely pointless and entirely the wrong. So let me ask, let me ask you this. What kind of YouTube channels are you subscribed? Let me just ask you this question, Mike. Are you going to watch it? No, well, he's probably going to be pushed in front of my face whether I want to watch it or not. So I certainly won't go, oh, it's April the 24th at 7 p.m. ETD. I'm going to turn the telly on and watch. I'll send you a text to remind you. I mean, there's nothing that's midnight for you. I'll make sure that you're awake. That's fine. That's okay, thank you. I'm turning my phone off. You can not call me. I'll text you. Yeah. It does seem kind of ridiculous. She's going to be really impressed when you wake her, but they don't. Is this a necessary thing? No. Is anything that evil knievel ever did necessary? No. Is it fun to watch? Well, I have exactly the same attitude to evil. That's quite honestly. Party pooper. Yeah seriously. All right. Well, let's see. I'm excited. I'm excited to watch it. Yeah, I think you just have to be careful about where you know when you start drawing lines like that, right? My personal feeling about this thing is parachutes make me nervous in general. So like regular skydiving, I have trouble balancing the risk ratio. And Jeff and I were talking about this holding this here. And I know single engine airplanes also don't make a lot of sense. A lot of times when you're talking about risk, but when you start saying, this is not necessary, you know, like 90% of the flying I do is not necessary. And it increases the general risk level of my life, but I would be bummed if somebody was like, you shouldn't do that or you can't do that. Yeah. Well, when you get in an airline that there is a risk, but it's relatively low. And the same would apply in your geo flying. And a lot of things in life. The risk in this maneuver is not generally considered to be low. So at some point, there's a line here, which you should cross. Going over Niagara Falls in a barrel would be above the bad idea. I would have to think about so I think that the risk of these guys pregnant equipment up and everything is probably much higher than normal. But if they have parachutes and everything on, I don't know how much higher the risk is of this stunt versus like flying a single engine piston airplane into minimums. IMC minimums on a regular basis. That's crazy. Yeah, you know, you look at all the relativistic things. Here's how I approach this. These guys are guys who this is, this is the career that they've chosen. You know, there are trying to kill themselves. Stunt professionals, let's just say that. I mean, if you want, you can use that term professional however you'd like, but stunt performers. Who have a lot.

"And he was, you know, it wasn't honor. I mean, Tesla himself was thrilled to be able to work with the great man. I mean, he was, you know, the great inventor of the time, so yes, he was able to attract talent, and he paid them poorly. And he worked them really hard, but no harder than he worked himself. Going back to Westinghouse, I think that's the key relationship that got developed. I mean, because Westinghouse thought that alternating current could compete against Edison's direct current and as a result, Westinghouse thought that he could build the systems and make a whole lot of money. So he paid Tesla, not only money for his patents, which made Tesla relatively rich, but gave him a royalty on each electric motor that the Westinghouse company would make. That ended up being worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if I might just because this going back to the point of how horrible of a businessman, Tesla was, you know, at some point, you know, Westinghouse got overextended. I mean, we can come back to these, but it was engaged with the Chicago exhibition of 1893 and captured the power from Niagara Falls and brought it to New York. In the process of doing that, he spent a lot of money, but he also got stretched thin, financially. And so his investors were going to him and saying Westinghouse, you got to cut back some money. So he goes to Tesla, which is in part in the movie. And says, you know, I'm really broke here. I'm sort of struggling. Is there anything you can do to help me? And Tesla asked, well, if I tear up my royalty contract, would that be useful? At Tesla right in front of the tears off this contract, which some people would estimate would be have been equivalent of about a $1 billion in today's money. That he just tore up because he said to Westinghouse, you have trusted me. And I believe in you that you will make my system the reality for the rest of the country. That sort of trust that vision of bringing his invention to the world had been a horrible businessman in the process. He gave away a $1 billion. Just remarkable. Yeah, we will come to back to that for sure. But I want to you're talking about AC alternating current and direct current. And the movie does kind of explain this briefly. It made a big deal about how Tesla's motor eliminated the commutator and the sparks that go with it. They say that it's more efficient than Edison's direct currents. And it basically explains that direct current is like a river flowing peacefully to the sea, alternating current is like a current rushing violently over a precipice. That's the terminology that the movie used to explain these differences. Is that a pretty good explanation of the difference? I mean, obviously, I'm sure it's a lot more detailed. Largely dealt with that was Edison's view of the difference between the two of them. The key difference is that alternating current can be sent over longer distances. And direct current can only go for a couple hundred yards. So if, in fact, we only had direct current generators we would have, you know, electrical generators burning coal or whatever they were burning at the time, you know, basically spaced off every one or two blocks. But alternating current does, which is the system that we mostly use today is that it's what's referred to as step up the voltage. Right at the generator and then send this high voltage electricity over long distance transmission lines, hundreds of miles, and then we have transformers basically near all of our houses..

"Do I look like I'm like 90 or something? You know? And I declined. You know, it's politely as I possibly could. It's like, oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. And made like a little bit of an old lady, thank you face. But it was definitely odd. You've talked about how terrifying it is that our instinct to cling to life is as strong as it is in your mother hung on for two years after your father died as if she were as you put it hell bent on never leaving the earth. And did her stubbornness to stay alive impact how you feel about living now? God. I think that the same way when you were a child, you can't imagine what it's like to be an adult or a teenager even. You can only see a few years ahead and then after that, it's kind of blurry. I hate the idea that I would be so hellbent on that. I mean, she was a stubborn as she was dying and she was every day she was alive. Absolutely. Absolutely. But you don't know. You don't know how you're going to feel when you get there. The place was very, very expensive and you describe how it cost 14 $1000 a month. And you imagine that you could have had that money and then you thought you were the most disgusting person in the world for even thinking that. And that's one of the most remarkable things about your book was even when you feel like you're being disgusting. We can relate. I think that everyone has these feelings and everyone has conflicts about how they feel about their parents at any given time. And I think it's really hard for grown kids to be in a position of having no choice but to take care of their parents when they have conflict about how they were taken care of as kids. And that's one of the other things that I think is so remarkable about your work, even when you describe things that are probably less than noble, you do it in a way that makes you feel noble for even living. Well, I don't feel like it was very noble. I also feel that it wasn't completely my fault for feeling like that. One thing that was so shocking to me was there's just no support network at all for any of this. And they were things like my parents had insurance in Brooklyn. And when it did not transfer to Connecticut. And the amount of money that these places charge is so enormous and you don't feel I did not feel that the people working for them were getting that much of the money. I think it went, I don't know whether it was the stockholders or the people who were the CEOs of this company. I mean, it was just there was a comedy to it. There was a real black comedy because this is a person who I think of the cheese tainer. In the refrigerator, which was from my junior high, it was a plastic bin in which my mother kept the cheese in the refrigerator. She called it a cheese tainer and a normal person once that plastic bin cracks, you take it, you throw it the fuck away. You don't patch it with masking tape. And then you patch more masking tape on top of the masking tape. So there's like ancient masking tape. And then there's like Middle Ages masking tape. And then there's like the modern age masking tape. There's like several archeological layers of date becomes a geological study. And it's grinding, it's disgusting. So I think about how much concern they had for their pennies and their nickels and the sadness of just seeing it like a Niagara Falls constantly writing out these checks. And then finding out that the insurance covered almost none of it. And luckily they saved. They are like petting pinching ways. They had enough money to pay for a very nice place. Sad, really. It is very sad. The images that you include in the book the photography take pictures of the museum of shit razors and the sunglasses. I mean, it's really, really wonderful how you document the various things that your parents kept. Yeah, they did not want to get rid of anything. I think that's so human though. I mean, it's not just an episode of hoarders. It's really very much about how do you keep things and create things to provide meaning and they end up becoming evidence of life and it's remarkable. In your book, you have a series of sketches of your mother in the final weeks of her life. In most, if not all, she seems to be sleeping and their heartbreaking and terrifying and beautiful all at the same time, what was it like for you to draw her in this way? They feel very compassionate the drawings. I didn't really know what else to do, you know, because she wasn't talking at that point. I didn't know how long it was going to go on. And I do talk in the book about a sort of final conversation I had with her, where I realized I was not going to get any kind of closure. This was not going to be like one of those movies where there's this breakthrough and then there's a hug and then the music comes in it's beautiful and no. This was in terms of endearment. This was not in terms of endearment. This was not terms of anything. This was terms of like, I'm still me, and that's the way it's going to be. And now we go on from here. In the last section of your book, you talk about this moment and that scene of you saw being in your car after that talk with her where you realized you weren't going to get the happy ending. Yeah. It's like, haven't you read the script? Don't you know how the scene goes? What happened? Did you not get the memo? But you talk about bellowing and the depth of sadness surprised you and my dad died a few months ago and I experienced something very similar. I had a very, very complicated relationship with him. And the moment that I found out that he'd passed that he died, I was en route to seeing him. I also didn't make it. The same way you didn't make it to her final moments. And I experienced something very similar on the road. I did billowing. I'd never, ever cried like that. I hope I never do again. Yeah. And the combination of feelings is remarkable. It's unbelievable. Have you processed a lot of what you were feeling at that time? Does it get better? Every pressed it. You know, process. I mean, you know, you processed cheese. I don't know. I think I'm not really good at things that you're supposed to do like psychologically to let go. You draw you draw. That's what you do. That's all you need to do when you draw like you draw Rus. Oh, you're very nice. The last thing I want to ask you about is your parents. You have several. I know you have two Eli, right? Yes, yes, yes. White parents, I read that parents seem to live forever.

Stuff You Missed in History Class
A History of the Industrialization and Commercialization of Niagara Falls
"And we're going to start off with a little bit of a brief history of industrialization and commercialization at niagara because this whole barrel trip was part of a much bigger story of tourism and dare-devils at this natural wonder so niagara falls is a collection of three waterfalls on the border between the united states and canada ontario. On the canadian side and new york on the us side in. They're on the niagara river between lake erie. lake ontario. the falls are the horseshoe falls the american falls. And the bridal veil falls sometimes horseshoe falls is known as canadian falls. Most of the horseshoe falls on the canadian side of the border. Paul american falls and bridal veil falls are both in. The united states horseshoe. Falls is the biggest of the three. It's the one that's shaped like a horseshoe like its name suggests and it's what comes to mind for a lot of people when you say niagara falls. Yeah it's impressive in persons. It's it does have sort of the iconic aspect to it. The area around niagara falls has been home to a number of iraq orient speaking indigenous peoples leading up to the seventeenth century. A confederation known as the neutral lived on what would become the canadian side of the river. And this name comes from the french describing them as neutral in conflicts between other iroquois nations and confederation so this is a guess it pronunciation because we couldn't find a clear one but the When roaring on or winrow lived on the other side and the neutral confederation and the wind row were allies until sixteen thirty nine after that a combination of wars epidemics and other factors led to both of them being dispersed by and absorbed into other iroquois tribes and nations. There are descendants of these people. Surely living still today but there's a whole complicated history of all the various iroquois and peoples that are not a monolith so some people wound up going completely different parts of the country other sort of made their way into other tribes and nations.

The Mystery Of Hudini
"Welcome to kids myths and mysteries from around the world strange and unexplained people places and events often forgotten by history or loss in the midst of time. I'm kit chrome today. Harry houdini to understand houdini magic. It's important to understand the man born eric. Weiss march twenty four th eighteen. Seventy four in budapest hungary. He moved with his family when he was four years. Old to new york. And eventually migrated appleton wisconsin in his youth. He was a natural athlete and had a fascination with magic and adopted the name. Houdini by adding an eye to the last name of his idol. French magician robert who din although there was a gimmick or special effect too many of his escapes. there were those at pressed him physically to the max one story a story mind. You is that of an underwater handcuff escape. Depending on who you talked to. He was in a box. A straightjacket or manacled hand and foot anyway. The story goes that he was in chicago in winter and had a hole cut in the frozen river that he stepped through not taking into factor that the river flowed under the ice easily escaped his manacles but was swept downriver. Above the shivering crowd eventually dispersed fearing that they had witnessed the drowning of the great magician under the ice. He moved from trapped air bubble bubble eventually finding his way out. There are dozens of versions of his story but whatever the case demonstrates his power of concentration. Above all harry. Houdini was a showman dangling from cranes. Skyscrapers upside down in a straitjacket. He would attrac- upwards of fifty thousand. Onlookers necks craned as they watched the dramatic escape. This would guarantee a pack theater that evening but he was always searching for a new effect. He's responsible for bringing the obscure thread the needle from india to the american stage. This is where he would placed dozens of needles in his mouth along with thread. Poss- drink a glass of water then amazingly extract needles threaded with enough threat to cross the stage later. He performed the same illusion with razor blades. Houdini was much more than a magician however he was a man with an insatiable curiosity and was fascinated with movies made several including one where he was to rescue the ever suffering female from iraq on the brink of niagara falls. She was harnessed to a safety line. Houdini would have none of the safety features offered and was nearly swept over the falls. He got out of the movie business because it didn't make money. He was also fascinated with airplanes and in nineteen ten. Was the first man to fly a plane in australia. Sailing for over three and a half miles. Houdini died at one twenty six.

Miss Information: A Trivia Podcast
Forever Free: Edmonia Lewis
"Hey Joel Lauren Hey so. You know what I feel like I have been I have I have not done our podcast. Justice. And the reason being is because you know every. So often we do an episode on historical person. And it seems that you do a lot of episodes about like strong influential women. And I do episodes on. Deeply White Dude's. Deeply disturbed man and I was like you know what? I'm going to remedy this today. I'm going to do it right and I had I had known very little about this person until I started doing my research, the more I learned about her the more I was. Like. Impressed about her. Just. Her talents and her very interesting life and everything. So today. I'm going to be doing an episode on Ed Monia Lewis. Yes I don't know who that is. So at Monia Lewis was the first professional and internationally known African American sculptor. Wa Yes so Her work was like well known all over the world during this time period but we'll get into it so. she was she is believed to have been born on July fourth eighteen, forty four that she didn't. She didn't know her her birthdate. Lot of people didn't warn free in Greenbush New York, which is now the city of Rent Rensselaer and her father was Afro Haitian while her mother her her name was Catherine Mike Lewis was of Mississauga, Gibb Way and African American descent. So she was both African American Haitian and native American Great. her mother was known as an excellent weaver in crafts woman while her father was a gentleman servant and her family background inspired Lewis in her later work. So, by the time she reached the age of nine. Both of her parents had died to maternal aunts adopted her and her older half brother whose name was Samuel. He was born in eighteen thirty five to lose his father and his first wife in Haiti and the family came to the United. States, when Samuel was a young child Samuel eventually became a barber at age twelve after his father died because he needed to start making money for the family and so he became a barber I know isn't as seventh grader giving you a haircut that's a nightmare but apparently. We're pulling your teeth both. Apparently. He was very good because eventually he moved out West in became an entrepreneur in a landowner and was very successful. but at the time, the children lived with their aunts near Niagara Falls for about four years and Louis in her aunt sold Agip way baskets and other items such as moccasins, embroidered blouses, tourists, visiting. Niagara. Falls, TORONTO, and Buffalo. So Little Gail. during this time Lewis went by her native American name, which was wildfire while her brother was called sunshine or sunrise, which is like these are just cool. ASS names. Great names may great names man. So in eighteen fifty, two Samuel F. for San Francisco leaving Lewis in the care of captain s mills, and Samuel provided for her board and education. Captain are mills was a an abolitionist. He was a well known abolitionists at the time. So in eighteen, fifty, six, she enrolled at New York, Central College McGraw Hill which was a baptist. School at McGraw Hill. Louis. Met many of the leading activists who would become mentors, patrons and possible subjects for her work as her artistic career developed. So during her summer term there in eighteen fifty-eight, she took classes in the primary department in preparation for college, and she was enrolled in primary courses in order to help advance her reading and writing skills along with other subjects of academia that we're not quite advanced enough for the academic department. So. In a later interview, she said that she left the school after three years having been quote declared to be wild. Oh Wow. Yeah. She said until I was twelve years old I led this wandering fishing and swimming and making moccasins I was then sent to school for three years in McGraw Hill was declared to be wild they could do nothing with me Oh Yeah. So they seem to have expected a lot from. A kid who had been grown up just like doing whatever she could to survive. So. Eight fifty nine when she was about fifteen years old her brother Samuel and abolitionists sent her to win Ohio where she attended the secondary Oberlin Academy Preparatory School for the full three year course before she entered Oberlin College, which was one of the first US higher learning institutions to admit women and people of Color. At the time, she changed her to Mary Monia Lewis and began to study art. So from here on out, she's known as Ed Monia Lewis. She boarded with Reverend John. Keep his wife from nine until she was forced from the college in eighteen sixty three. So I'll tell you about that in a second. But at Oberlin with a student population of one thousand Lewis was one of only thirty students of color. Yeah, Reverend keep was white a member of the board of trustees and avid evolutionist and a spokesperson for Co Education so throughout her life, she was kind of moved from from patron to patient as a young child mostly with abolitionist family Scott.
Iroquois History and Legends
Ely Parker The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
"Hello and welcome to era KOI history and legends. I'm Andrew. And I am Caleb, and welcome back to our third installment on Ellie Parker. In May of eighteen, sixty, five, ely parker returned to Washington. DC, and he and grant met with the president again. President Johnson this time Parker was still very angry about the death of Lincoln and is said to have said at a military parade. He white men are Christians, and you may forgive murder. The I'm of a race never forgives the murder of a friend which I find this quote kind of interesting because he was a Christian. He his father was a preacher, and he was a member of a of an Anglican church later in his life. So that I think it's the point is getting across that he really harbored some bitterness towards the the confederates. If you remember from our. Our last episode couple of weeks before this when Abraham Lincoln is talking to him on how he wants to help his people think Parker was really excited to have a president that actually cared about the Indians, and I think he believed honesty when he said that this must have been a you know on top of him considering Abraham Lincoln a friend, but also all of a sudden. His plans for the future for his people have just been crushed with the death of Abraham Lincoln, and we don't know what would have been head Lincoln been able to finish his second term. Lincoln definitely had some very. Questionable tactics dealing with a Western tribes during the civil war. He or some people to do some some bad stuff that being said I think that Lincoln really did have an appreciation for the the Iroquois nations, and really did want to to help them in the following months Parker remained at grant side, he helped shield him from the the masses for a word. We would use today. The Paparazzi the general was the hero of the war. He's the one that got lead to surrender. Everywhere. He went. People mobbed him. They literally had to beat people away when grant was trying to get some sleep on a train. People were breaking windows. Just try to get in and shake his hand. They said the grants hand was. Crippled because so many people wanted to shake in talk to them as they toured the North Grant, and his family came to Niagara Falls to rest and recuperate and Parker said I'll take your kids, and which is always great when somebody offers to do that, he just takes the kids and take some to the tunnel under reservation for some days to stay at his sister's house. In the fall of that year he was appointed to a commission to serve on a board to help with negotiating with a dozen or so native American nations that adjoined the confederates. We even have a chance to talk about this, but there were all these indigenous nations in the south. Many of them head slaves as well, and they were really sympathetic to the southern 'cause they were intertwined. and politically so here's a little history tidbit fact for Caleb. Do you know who the last general to surrender in the confederacy was? No idea neither did I, but I put it in the notes so I would remember. He was a Cherokee brigadier general named stand. Wadey must be the southward a little more lenient with their commissions. Yeah really, but he he commanded hundreds of troops and lead people around on a wild goose chase, refusing to surrender, even after the confederacy had surrendered, but like this is June twenty third. This is a full two or three months after a everything has wound down, it also kind of sets the stage for you know because we all know about like the the Indian wars in. In the eighteen eighties and stuff like that in the old western kind of see how a Lotta that this conflict never really ended this Cherokee general with America like eventually make some sort of peace, but you can tell it. It's GONNA be a shallow peace, and that will be trouble for the next several decades in eighteen, sixty, six one of grant's top officers colonel, bowers. was killed tragically by train, and why it's so tragic is he was a close friend of Parker in grand. You know he's one of the general. Staff and they were all on a train and grant got on the train and realized he left something back at the hotel. Something completely, not important handkerchief a book, a letter from his mom something like that. and. He just said Oh darn. I accidentally left that back there. Oh well. And bowers without saying anything to grant slipped away, and he was gonNA. Run back and grab it. Is. He was trying to be a good a good friend and a good underlying to the general in doing so he ended up. If you can picture, all these train tracks with all the trains going every which way he got trapped in between trains going different directions than he was killed crushed. So grant talks to this man a couple of minutes before, and then you know, he slips away. Grant never told him to go back and get it, and then people say a man was killed on tracks. He says Oh. That's terrible, and then it comes in that. It was his friend. It had fought with him through the whole civil war, and he was dead, just like that grant was so depressed that he told Parker that he was not going to be able to attend the funeral. Lots of people say things like that, and then the funeral date comes and guess who is there. A Grant Parker and all the staff were there for Colonel Bowers and his family

Fact that's Myth
"Welcome to kids myths and mysteries. I'm your host Kent crump in my investigation into the paranormal the metaphysical. I'm lucky net. Ghosts and poltergeists inspectors. I'm lucky psychics. And mediums and clairvoyance from the side of myth and fact yesterday we looked. Pope Joan a female pope on the point of being a myth. That could become a fact today. We're going to look at a fact. That is being regarded as remiss. We traveled from Rome to the Northwest Territories in Canada. It's a South Mahoney in Canada's Northwest Territory and is a world heritage site but it is mostly inaccessible. It missed the ICE age. It is comprised of thousands of square miles. Boreal forests never touched by man. But Hanni river is intersected by four ballets numerous canyons during the great Alaskan Gold Rush than the Hani us. The river was thought to be a shortcut to the Yukon. And that's where the story really begins in Nineteen Five. A young Indian boy emerged from the valley was several gold nuggets that he gave to a local bishop who had them made into a gold chain for his watch fact. That was all it took for. Two young men will in Frank McCloy D- to venture up in the Hani Valley Panning. The various creeks and streams that flowed into the river. They found gold at least according to a diary that was found at the site of their cabin when they hadn't returned by the following year a search party including a third brother said out and found their headless bodies tied to a couple of spruce trees upside down. More fact this was the beginning of the Grizz legend that became headless or deadman's valley from nine hundred ninety six when the bodies were found to nineteen sixty over. Fifty prospectors entered headless valley in search of the MIC. Lloyd's Gold Mine and some vanished and others were found headless more fact headless valley was an area never touched by the great ice age. It is said to be heated by underground thermals than Hani itself passes between thousand foot cliff. Walls areas of the valley are believed to have been a refuge for the woolly. Mammoth a strange bear dog. Like creature called Awadhi La along the cliffs lived Naja Naja Indians that unlike the donets simply vanished so remote as an Hani Bali that fewer than a dozen men have visited this area enter Albert faily born in eighteen eighty eight Minnesota by the age of twenty three. He was running a hundred mile trap. Line along the layered river one of the tributaries leading into the Hani. This was nineteen eleven just six years. After the McCloy brothers headless bodies had been found after decades wondering along the layered. Hani working trap lines as body was no longer up to the task in the mid nineteen fifties s and in his late sixties. Albert failure decided to go after the mkx. Lloyd's Lost Gold Mine. He was a longtime resident of Fort Simpson. And once the ice had left the rivers he would set out in a twenty foot. John Book loaded with supplies for the five hundred mile trip. They would take him to the mouth of what was referred to as headless valley or headless creek the site where the headless bodies of the mkx. Lloyd's had been found all those years ago. Besides the daunting mileage. He portage round. Virginia falls twice the height of Niagara. Falls a task. That would take him a week just to move his supplies. Once above the falls he would build a second boat and continue up the Hani one year. His goal was capsized in rough weather and he almost drowned another trip. Winter set in early while living in a hastily constructed cabin he had gotten scurvy and pulled out several loose teeth with pliers year after year trip after trip. He come up short and half to turn back by nine hundred sixty two. At the age of seventy four. He was still making the trip communist close to forty miles to the McCloy mine. Once confronted by another resident of Fort Simpson. He was asked if he was going to try again. Now remember seventy four. He answered that he would be dead or drown before he would quit on a personal note. I I learned of Albert faily and a headless valley. Forty-eight probably fifty years ago now when he was still making the trip I was in high school. An eighteen minute documentary was made in nineteen sixty two about Albert failure. You can now watch on Youtube. It's an amazing story about an amazing man and this is like a lost world. This is up fact. Pack story yet. A lot of people consider it miss miss about the Naja what happened. These Indians myth about gold mine of the MIC Lloyd's so a fact based story that's regarded as missed and at some point. Someone will find the mine and it will become

The Man From Beyond Nearly Killed Harry Houdini
"Harry Houdini. Now the story starts at Niagara Falls. So that's where we'll begin. Most people relate Niagara Falls with the image of someone going over in a barrel. I will take a look at the fall and a flow of water of over three thousand one hundred sixty tons as per second. The word formidable fits the first person to go over. The false was anti Edison Taylor sixty three year old schoolteacher who took took the plunge in an oak pickle barrel five feet long three feet around the year was nineteen o one. The entire event from climbing into the barrel to climbing now took twenty minutes. She died April Twenty Ninth Nineteen Twenty one now. Remember that date magician. Harry Houdini Love I. Love Niagara Falls. Visited them numerous times with his wife. Beth he told her that he was drawn to the false by their sheer power. Houdini Cop Film Own Bug in eighteen ninety nine and nineteen one the same year. That Annie Edson Taylor made her plunge over the falls he made. They dispersed movie. His second film was a Hollywood feature film the grim game and came out in nineteen nineteen. It was successful enough that he went on to make the third film. The man from beyond most exciting action took place at Niagara Falls was filmed the same day as the passing of an Edison. Taylor who was the first to go over the falls in a barrel Harry. Houdini was athlete from a young age in as a teen when numerous metal simple diving and swimming events held in and around New York he could oldest breath for five minutes and had the ability to slow his heart rate although oh he was a magician in that he was accomplished in both cards and coin. Magic he found his calling as an escape artist and the marketing of that talent taking on all challengers in the process the effected combined his skills of Escape and working while underwater was best demonstrated when he was shackled. Cool hand and foot locked in a packing crate and lowered into a river when it came time to film the ban for beyond Houdini is the hero was due to rescue the heroin from going over Niagara Falls. The actress was strapped into a harness with cables could be reeled out or pulled in she. He was filmed clinging to a rock just above the edge of the falls airy was to swim to take her off the raw swimmer to safety but Houdini would have none of the leather harness in cables he started upstream so he could swim with the current but when he neared the boulder heroin clung to the speed of the water was was a champion ten miles per hour as he neared the boulder was cleared to his wife film crew that he was out of control and was be swept along faster Astra than he could swim. The story goes that the actress saw that Houdini was in trouble and extended her arm which he gratefully took and essentially clung to her as she was pulled in needle say that part of the film was cut out and it was also the last film with short lived movie career now. For the controversy there are several counts of how he wore a leather harness. Also these claims are false. The report of his rescue that I use here was taken from a portion of notes. Were not to be released until after his wife's death a similar account came from his biographer. Prefer Walter B Gibson. Gibson was a close friend of both Harry and his wife. BESS for ten years after Houdini. Death best kept a candle burning. And during a CEOS each halloween she would attempt to make contact she finally gave the event and the candle to Walter. B Gibson who who continued with the annual sales until giving charts or the same seance to magician dorothy dietrich the man from beyond that nearly killed Harry.
