How Do We Ensure K9 Culture Trainers Are Up to Our Standards?
"Know, one of the things that we do that you're a huge part of, Julie, is kind of what you mentioned, Wyatt. Now, we have trainers that are working with the dog, so how do we make sure that the trainers are training? How do we make sure quality control standards, right? Yeah. So what do we do there, Winnie? Well, I mean, to some degree, there's some micromanaging going on. There has to be. Yeah. Just to make sure that everybody stays in line, I mean, I guess that's always going to be the problem. When you start to grow as a company and you have more people, you want to make sure everybody is staying to the standard that you're wanting to provide for clients or for people. For us, for me, at least as a lead trainer, my main job is to make sure that they are keeping up to the standards of certain obedience, right, every week and things like that. And so I make sure that they... Because we know average dogs, like Tuesdays, they start on Monday. By Tuesday, they should know how to do X. By Thursday, they should be able to do X, Y, and Z. Do you have them master it? No, but we know about where the average dog should be. Yes. Right. And so we're doing trainer evals. That's really what it's called. We're just evaluating the trainers every week to make sure that they are where they should be, where their dogs. And then we acknowledge that sometimes we're going to get a dog that's extremely anxious or extremely aggressive or whatever the case is. So kind we of change the expectations for that dog, but we still want to see progress. And so it's all about making sure that they're getting where they should be. In a week's time frame, since we do board and trains and the dogs go home on Friday, we got to make sure that in those five days they're making enough progress that they're going to be able to work on some things over the weekend with owners and then move on to something else the next week. Right. Yeah. And stay on pace at the end of two, three or four weeks, whatever the training program is that that dog's in, that we've achieved the goals that the owner has. And people just naturally drift, pick up bad habits. They do. We humans are so good about that. They're saying, screw this training, I'm going to do it my way. They will subconsciously shift their training style out of line with what you want them to do. So our evaluations kind of are also geared to keep that from happening. So that way we're consistently, we're being consistent in how we're training. I do love the evals though, because I feel like it makes the trainers want to do better. It makes them want to do better with their dogs. Kind of in a group format. Yeah. The third weeks and the two weeks evals, they're always in a group setting. Whereas the first week evals, I do those one on one. To see how the dog is doing and things. But yeah, definitely. I feel like it helps them want to do better and do cool things. And then in turn, they end up wanting to show those cool things to the owners. So it's not just about doing obedience and being monotonous. It's also about showing the cool things that their dog can do.

Surviving Covid and Chaos: Looking Back at the Early Days of K9 Culture
"August 1st, 2020, so right in the middle of the pandemic and that was the good old days of... Not the good old days, the days of quarantine in a lot of places, everyone's wearing a mask. Should you wear a mask? Should you wear three masks? Should you wear 72 masks? Oh my God. Six feet away from people. How many boosters should you have? I mean, it was just chaotic. Nobody knew. No, we didn't have shots then. No, there was no shots. We're not going to talk about that. But you had to be six feet away from everyone, which is really nice because the leash is six feet long, so that was awesome. So yeah, we opened up. It was just Laura and I for that first month in our facility here. We did not... God, do you remember? We didn't even turn the lights on in the back three quarters of the building because why? Why do we even need to go back there? It's just the two of us. And so that was the first year, and it was August 1st. We didn't really do boarding trains for a while. We tried to discourage them because we didn't have kennels at that point because when you order kennels, they're usually a six -week lead time, but because of COVID, it was a four to six -month lead time. I mean, everything's lead time was just ridiculous because everyone nationwide, worldwide was not working, working from home, whatever. And just general trial and error, like we did cinder block kennels first. Yeah. So we had to build some cinder block kennels. So we had some. And then once we did have a couple of boarding dogs, once those first initial dozen kennels were built, then we had the ability to board. I guess we always do. So someone's probably listening, well, why didn't you just put the dogs in the crates? We did. We But it's not what we like to do. I don't like dogs sleeping in crates all the time. I don't know. I just, because if they're not training, they're in a crate, and then if they're sleeping in a crate, I don't know. I just. But we did have crates. Yeah. Julie's office was the first kennel room. Yeah. Your office was the kennel room, air quote. Oh, God. I don't even think we had a break room. No. The first couple months. And then the break room we slept in. Yeah. Well, first we slept in Wyatt's office. That room was. A noise. Wasn't too dark. No, it didn't. No, we slept. The first time we slept in the grooming room, but there's ticking because right by the grooming room is. The fire suppression, fire alarm system constantly beeps during the day. You don't notice it that much. But when it's. At two o 'clock in the morning, when there's not a sound anywhere, like what the hell is that noise? So yeah, we made it one night in the kennel room, which is, or excuse me, the grooming room. It wasn't the grooming room at that time. It was just a room. Then we went over to Wyatt's. And then we moved to Wyatt's. Oh, I remember why we only made it one night in Wyatt's office. The way it's laid out, it was too small. You know, you try to get out of the air mattress to the left or to the right, and you're up against the desk or a wall, and I thought, no, this is crazy. we So then moved to the break room, but it wasn't the break room. It wasn't the break room. And Wyatt's office wasn't Wyatt's office either. It was just a room. When the people left this building, they left all the furniture. It was full of crap. Yeah, because they went out of business and refrigerators and they went out of business before COVID. They haven't paid their rent in like a year. Yeah. So there was like a whole bunch of crap here. It was an indoor soccer center facility before. Yeah. We sold all of it. Yeah. Facebook. That was one of my jobs. Facebook marketplace. Just getting rid of all the soccer stuff that was left. We had couches here. We had chairs. Cheers. Scoreboards, goals. Cooking. Soccer balls. Cooking because they had this little bar here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They had that. Freezers. It was interesting. Who was our third person we hired? So the next one that came on was Wyatt. Wyatt! Wyatt came out at the end of August. Still paint the walls. And then a week later. Oh, I forgot about that. We finished. Yeah. We were still paper walls. Wyatt's little baby. Wasn't the baby's two? Make it look like a dog. Alex's like two. Maybe one. He was here riding around doing stuff while we were painting everything. My mom even came and helped paint it. She was 70 years old. It was pretty cool. Yeah. It was cool. I felt bad. We worked her to death. Yeah. We took netting down. It was a lot of work. The building's 47 ,000 square feet, so there's a lot of netting that has to come down. Scoreboards, goalies. Windows to clean. Oh my God. All glass walls. So all of our training fields, they're surrounded by eight feet tall human shatterproof glass. Well there's soccer prints, hand prints, human prints. Head print prints. I mean any print you can think of on both sides of those windows. I know for a fact I spent a whole entire eight hour day cleaning windows and it wasn't even half that. Not even. And then when we got that one with one side we went, oh shit. Now we got to go on the inside and do it. We're not dead. We're only halfway done. And you can't see the smudges until unless you're on the other side of the glass, so you could clean it but not miss parts. It took a long time. And then light bulbs, we replaced over, I can't really count, I know it was over $5 ,000 in the first two months of light bulbs. Oh my God. That's how many light bulbs they had lit. And in the middle of doing this, we're training dogs because Charles sold a few dogs the first week we opened. Right. The first week we opened and they knew they were our first. In fact, those first two dogs, Laney, she was just here boarding last week and that was three years ago and we were just all joking with the owner. I remember when he came in, it was just the two of you. And then Hank. And then Hank after her. Hank. They're both two of the most dog aggressive dogs we've trained. So right off the bat, to this day, they're still two of the most dog aggressive dogs we've had. And they both ended up liking dogs.

Crypto Banter
A highlight from It's Over.
"Brand bigs for one week, this is what I have to deal with. She's pissed. So you know the saying, if the cat's away, the mice will play. So it runs away and like people are not going to fucking work. Sure, it's actually absolutely manic in there. I take a few minutes break just to get out of the madness that's going on. It's definitely the biggest conference that I've ever seen. And I'm running around like a mad person. I'm absolutely having the time of my life. So we're at token 2049. I'm not going to lie, it kind of looks like a bull market. Like it looks incredible here, I've met a lot of cool fans already. And now we're going to the Birdgate yacht party. So it's my disclaimer, it's my first yacht I've ever been on. So I'm super excited for that. What's up, Brian? Did you see there is drama in crypto land, or at least in influencer land. Crypto Rover took Miles' tweet, now they're fighting with each other. So you can see over here, Miles, congrats on surviving the longest bear market in Bitcoin history. They'll still call you, keyword, lucky next cycle. Crypto Rover, exactly the same tweet. Yet in the next cycle, many will still label it as luck. So he did change like one line. And there's another one over here, look at this one. Here he's showing the stablecoin market cap going down, Miles. And then you've got Crypto Rover, stablecoin market cap going down as well. We're just in that phase of the market cycle, everything is boring, people are copying each other, fighting. Yeah, welcome to the bear market. One of the things we've spoken about a lot this week is around people stealing our content. People repurposing our content or copying our content to try and get clout. And there's an account called Crypto Rover. And we've seen that recently Rover's been copying our material and tweeting it as if it was his own. And then what happened is, Ron found out about it and he confronted on what? On Twitter, he literally typed it to Rover, hey, why are you stealing Miles' tweet? And then two days later, Rover copied one of Ron's tweets. If you think about it from the perspective of the Twitter algorithm, it's a really smart strategy, but I think it just lacks a bit of integrity. You've got to understand, people work hard to try and bring creative things on Twitter. To just take someone's information and just tweak it and then take clout for it, it's not cool. Now, I know Dan. Dan's quite a smart guy. And it disappoints me to see that that's the tactics that he's resorting to. As we're approaching the yacht, I look to my right and I see Crypto Rover. He's here. And I'm thinking, this has just become an incredible trip. Good, you're pushing through, eh? Still living in South Africa? I am, I am. I'm going in January for something. You must come see, you must let me know. Yeah, let's do it, bro, I'll take you around. Have you seen Ron yet? What happened there? No, not yet. Have you seen him? No, not yet. I probably will see him in the coming days. Probably by then, we're going to go to the... Yeah, definitely. Because I was confused, I was like, what the hell, you guys met each other then? I don't know what happened. Because, like, from my opinion, what happened is that first of all, I was like tweeting and Rand was posting on my account, reacting to my tweets like, oh, this is fake news or this is that. And I sent my sources to him and he doesn't reply. So I thought, okay, maybe he's got something against me, I don't know. And then like the glass note shark about the bear market, like so many people tweeted about it on the internet, tweeted about it five times, but with a different text because I tweet 40 times a day. So sometimes I post the same stuff. And you said I was copying now this or that. In the end of the day, you can literally see my page that I posted it four times before. So you're going to try it, you guys are going to chat it out? I definitely want to chat it out. We need to come together, we can't. I don't want to have to be with anyone. So his side was saying that, you know, he was posting these things a while back and they actually possibly copied him and he posts 30 to 40 tweets every single day. So he needs to use stuff and things like that. I don't know, it didn't sound super convincing to me. I like the guy personally very much. I've met him a few times. But I do think he was wrong in this instance. And when I got his side of the story, I wasn't super convinced. It's just a bunch of egos and I just don't swim in that lake.

"Yeah. The third weeks and the two weeks evals, they're always in a group setting. Whereas the first week evals, I do those one on one. To see how the dog is doing and things. But yeah, definitely. I feel like it helps them want to do better and do cool things. And then in turn, they end up wanting to show those cool things to the owners. So it's not just about doing obedience and being monotonous. It's also about showing the cool things that their dog can do. And I think that that's a really cool thing. And it keeps you from falling into the trap of, oh, we'll just fix it next week. Oh God, yes. Cause that's a trap. Because once you fall into it, and then you're putting off another dog, would this dog double that week? A lot of trainers say that. And I can think of three trainers off the top of my head, not here, but from the previous company that I used to work with and for. And with a three week board and train, I found they did it all the time. Well, we'll worry about that next week. Today's Wednesday, for example. Well, why don't we worry about today, tomorrow and Friday, and then next week we won't have to address it. So they would kick a command or something out till next week. That's not fair to the dog. If the dog could learn it in two weeks instead of three weeks, then why didn't the owner just do a two week board and train? And then you see it the second week, well, we still have next week. You just sacrificed two weeks of board and train. Now you're stealing from the person because you're, oh God, that's why I work with that company. Is they'll do that and then they give the dog another trainer. Yeah. Oh, we'll do it the next week. Oh, here you go. Here's the dog you don't know anything about. And that I haven't trained and I kept kicking everything off. So now I'm kicking it off to you. Good luck to get a three week standard with a one week of training. What's scary with things like that is then they can, when an owner comes in and says, has my dog made progress? They can lie and say, no, they haven't made progress on whatever it is they were supposed to work on three weeks ago. And so, yeah, that's not good. And we train dogs from other companies that have gone through other three week, two week programs. Six to eight week programs in seven months. Literally about a month and a half ago, one did a three week board and train with somebody. The dog did not literally even understand what leash pressure was. You can't even walk a dog if they don't understand leash pressure, right? So that means they weren't walking the dog. I mean, the dog would have at least grasped leash pressure in three weeks. Maybe he wouldn't have a heel if you're not a good trainer, but he would have understood leash pressure. You should know that in like two days. That's exactly what I mean. That's what I mean. That's why I could tell that the dog literally had not been worked in three weeks. He just probably sat in a kennel or a crate or whatever for three weeks or was in someone's home because it was obviously an in-home trainer, not obviously, but it was an in-home trainer. So that means the person never took them outside their home. So they were working some obedience just in their living room because they never did put a leash on the dog because the dog, you put the leash on, he's like, what the hell is this and what do you do? I mean, literally had no grasp of the leash. That's another reason why we do evaluations is to make sure nothing like that happens. It's also a big reason why we have this giant facility, all the people, all the, we always make jokes. We can just do this out of our house. Like, yeah, but you want to get the full package, you want to get, you know, 40, 50 other dogs to train around every day. Get this dog socialized with fat dogs, skinny dogs, excitable dogs, lazy dogs, anxious dogs, angry dogs. All the dogs in different breeds. I mean, there is a lot of value into that because you can take, I mean, we see it all the time, our area for aggressive dogs. That's where the aggressive dogs sleep at night rather quickly. They get used to being in each other's presence so they don't try to walk through the fences to each other. It's wild. You put them in the gym room, they will bark for 10 hours. You put them in 10 by 10s, three of them all by 10s. Yeah. So if a trainer is training from their home and they're working with three dogs, it'll look like that dog's been fixed. Well, that's because he's not aggressive to those two dogs because he's used to them. He's used to them. Yeah.

A highlight from 1272. BlackRock CEO Hints at DeFi & Bull-Run! | FULL BREAKDOWN
"All right, so let's drill down into Larry Fink's brain today. We're going to do this. He did a big interview at a Bloomberg event, and it breaks down a lot of not only his ideas of where the markets is going, but also some of the technologies within crypto that are going to affect all of this. I'll break it down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right, let's get into our first clip. And this first clip is breaking down interest rates over the next few years, what it looks like from the man himself. Larry Fink, listen it. You have Jamie Dimon, for example, saying rates in the U .S. could go to 7%, and we're not ready for it. Is he right? Look, we all have opinions. I mean, I've been saying for over a year - I want to know your opinion. My opinion is we're going to have 10 -year rates at least at 5 % or higher. All right, so you heard it, higher, longer 10 -year rates holding on to that, but yet still very optimistic in terms of the overall position, so a little bit more hopeful. Rick Ryder, who is one of the key investment guys there at BlackRock, who manages like almost $3 trillion in assets, he also came in on this clip. Listen in to what he had to say. So I think there's a couple of things that are going to happen. I think when the Fed starts, and I think they'll start cutting rates in the second half of the year. I don't think they're in any rush that they need to do it. Second half of this year? Second half next year. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for that clarification. I would have been buying stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so he's looking toward the third quarter next year. We talked about that before, is that that most likely will be the case with this higher for longer approach that goes into this. Now, the key here is, is what is causing this? Now, what are we seeing this in terms of the market disarray, the pushback, the consumer spending that's been holding inflation high? They get into it a little bit here around wages being too high. Listen in. The whole idea about restricting immigration. And in the United States, we've had close to a trillion dollars of fiscal stimulus just beginning its J curve. These are huge job creators and at the same time we have restricted immigration and as a result of it, you know, we see more wage pressure. So at what cost? We have in the United States, a very protracted strike between the auto workers and the auto companies. It has been reported that the union is asking for a 40 % increase. So at what cost? What do you do with a problem like that? Right now, I think in our mega trends, right now we are under invested in China. Under invested in China. That's interesting. OK, so a couple of points here to make and also to kind of references the framework of why these strikes are occurring, especially with the United Auto Workers strike. You look at it and it really boils down to corporate greed. I mean, at the essence, you've got all these car companies who have been feasting on American consumers for quite some time, for the last couple of years. Here's Stellantis as an example all the way back to 2016 when they were kind of flat and then right there 2018 blows up. Obviously, we saw the impact on the markets and then just this continued climb of Stellantis stock price. Now, part of that has been just because obviously car sales have continued. So his point of that wages are too high, that this is causing a lot of disarray within the market, there's an alternative to that as well. Let's go to this next clip, because Biden, actually, it's an article here, Biden actually responded to a little bit of this issue around the UAW. Remember, he's very pro -union, but his statement was he asked if he supported the 40 percent increase on the union and asked for it. He said, hey, listen, it's it's really more of a bargaining chip, really, than anything. And I would agree, you know, because it's kind of you ask for the highest amount you can and then you settle in with where it may end up. And I think that's what Stellantis is going to end up doing here as we go further. Remember, the key here with think is if you are very pro and I'm pro capitalist guys, don't get me wrong, but if you're a super capitalist, meaning you are absolutely just wanting to run amok within corporate greed, then you do want a lot of immigrants coming into the country and you want these kinds of mainly from just an optics standpoint, because it does start to put pressure on American workers. And I think that's the thing that everybody is looking at is how do we keep job wages low? And when I say everyone, meaning these capitalists that are really pushing at this. So this gets into some pretty big issues right here, even though he's asking for more immigration. I want to play this next clip to show you just kind of where immigration currently is. Let's listen in. In just one week, they came by the thousands, group after group after group of migrants streaming into Eagle Pass, Texas, prompting the border town to declare a state of emergency and straining the nation's immigration system. Again, the Border Patrol encountered a record two point two million people crossing the border illegally. The numbers went down a bit in the fiscal year ending this month, but are still high. Anybody that thinks this is a secure border is delusional. And this is something you see every day. All right. So as you can see there, does it look like we're restricting immigration at all? I think his point is really, really more toward the whole idea of, you know, higher wages being pressured, getting into that side of it. All right. So let's get into this next clip that talks about the recession and whether or not it's going to be bad, good, all that good stuff. Listen to what he had to say. Does that mean we are headed for a recession right now? I think we're going to see some economies enter recessions early. Which ones would that be? Well, I think Europe is more sensitive to the ones that are more sensitive to this elevated interest rates. Whatever the recessions we're going to have, they're going to be quite modest. So I'm not even that fearful. In many areas, you may need a recession to bring down labor demand. All right, so again, back to the point he's talking about, that's profitability and a lot of companies, once you bring down labor demand, that's one of the biggest issues there. He also gets into the point of what could be the catalyst to cause longer, a longer recession play into this. Here's what he had to say. So throughout history of U .S. growth slowdowns, we have underestimated every single one of them. Are you confident we're not making that same mistake again? If fear becomes worse, then consumers pull back and the recessions are going to become more protracted. We have elections in so many places in the world. We are going to have many political candidates who are going to provide a lot of fear. I think the political winner is the one who provides the most hope for the future or what people believe with the hope of the future. Do you see that, though? Do you see anyone projecting hope? I dearly hope so. I'm projecting hope. Larry for president? I don't know. No, I'm too young. I love that. All right, so I want to get into an area around reimagining bank lending, and this is where it starts to get into crypto or at least the underlying efforts of what he's thinking about crypto, because this is going to be kind of that format of how crypto will start to integrate into the banking system. Let's know what he had to say. We need to reimagine finance because of Dodd -Frank in the United States. Banks can't lend. And more of that, you know, the world doesn't want to get to the developing countries. They lend well, but clearly. All right, so obviously that's where, you know, stablecoins, DeFi, this starts to solve all those problems that we're going to be looking at around tokenized assets. I want to go to a clip here from Bankless asking really what's holding this back. Listen in to what they had to say in this interview. What you're buying today when you buy a stablecoin on the back end, it's cash and cash equivalents. That's an accounting term to say treasuries, repos and some cash in banks. The thing that is not like flowing through is the yield component. So you're getting a zero percent yield on your stablecoins today. So I started looking at someone has to have built something that solves this problem and no one had. The big challenge here is how do you bridge these two worlds, giving clarity on the real world asset side? So someone has to hold a treasury, a treasury bill, and that person was buying those treasury bills. At small scale, you can buy, but if you're starting to buy anything at meaningful scale, you have to show where the money came from and that where the money came from, the compliance AMLKYC component was hard to do. So we said, OK, if we want to offer this, you have to be regulated to do this at scale. And that is the biggest challenge that everyone in this industry faces is how do you answer that regulatory or legal structure in question? It sounds like what you're trying to build is the largest pipe possible between the government, United States government, risk free rate and DeFi. And right now you're saying that this pipe is actually constrained by our current stablecoin paradigm, the current meta of stablecoins, because you go through it vanilla dollars first when really you can just go more, let's get right to the punchline of this whole thing, which is like, let's take the yield of the risk free rate and get it into DeFi.

Now, we have trainers that are working with the dog, so how do we make sure that the trainers are training? How do we make sure quality control standards, right? Yeah. So what do we do there, Winnie? Well, I mean, to some degree, there's some micromanaging going on. There has to be. Yeah. Just to make sure that everybody stays in line, I mean, I guess that's always going to be the problem. When you start to grow as a company and you have more people, you want to make sure everybody is staying to the standard that you're wanting to provide for clients or for people. For us, for me, at least as a lead trainer, my main job is to make sure that they are keeping up to the standards of certain obedience, right, every week and things like that. And so I make sure that they... Because we know average dogs, like Tuesdays, they start on Monday. By Tuesday, they should know how to do X. By Thursday, they should be able to do X, Y, and Z. Do you have them master it? No, but we know about where the average dog should be. Yes. Right. And so we're doing trainer evals. That's really what it's called. We're just evaluating the trainers every week to make sure that they are where they should be, where their dogs. And then we acknowledge that sometimes we're going to get a dog that's extremely anxious or extremely aggressive or whatever the case is. So kind we of change the expectations for that dog, but we still want to see progress. And so it's all about making sure that they're getting where they should be. In a week's time frame, since we do board and trains and the dogs go home on Friday, we got to make sure that in those five days they're making enough progress that they're going to be able to work on some things over the weekend with owners and then move on to something else the next week. Right. Yeah. And stay on pace at the end of two, three or four weeks, whatever the training program is that that dog's in, that we've achieved the goals that the owner has. And people just naturally drift, pick up bad habits. They do. We humans are so good about that. They're saying, screw this training, I'm going to do it my way. They will subconsciously shift their training style out of line with what you want them to do. So our evaluations kind of are also geared to keep that from happening. So that way we're consistently, we're being consistent in how we're training. I do love the evals though, because I feel like it makes the trainers want to do better. It makes them want to do better with their dogs. Kind of in a group format. Yeah. The third weeks and the two weeks evals, they're always in a group setting. Whereas the first week evals, I do those one on one. To see how the dog is doing and things. But yeah, definitely. I feel like it helps them want to do better and do cool things. And then in turn, they end up wanting to show those cool things to the owners. So it's not just about doing obedience and being monotonous. It's also about showing the cool things that their dog can do.
The Maverick Paradox Podcast
A highlight from Taking consistent action for growth
"In this short episode I speak to Raul Karun Sharma about taking consistent action and the importance of knowing the purpose behind the actions we take in order to achieve our goals and to bring about positive change in ourselves and others. We discuss the importance of leaders adapting the leadership styles to their team members' individual needs and the concept of situational leadership. Raul shares his acronym BOLD and presents the business case for consistent action for growth. I create clear thinking and decisive leaders who can amplify their influence. Contact me to find out how I can help you or your organisation. And today our guest is Raul Karun Sharma. How are you doing? I'm doing very good Judith. How are you? I'm really good and you? Doing awesome. Awesome. What makes you awesome? It's the excitement to be in discussion with you. I had an amazing day so far and I'm looking forward for a conversation that will help our listeners. Brilliant. And do you want to share what's made your day so awesome? my It was daily rituals. I was able to commit to a few things which I was able to achieve. That really made me happy. I really recently started some lifestyle change in my daily routine, Judith, and I'm excited. It's been one week and I was successfully able to make it happen. Hey, that's really good. Staying to your commitments and getting things done like that is not always easy. Well done on that. Tell us a bit more about you. Sure. So I'm currently working as the head of learning and development for a global international company in headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey. Right now, I am focusing on establishing my public speaking business and I'm also a writer. I provide leadership training to all the employees of my organization worldwide. And I am focusing on right now at the moment, as you and me are talking, on my business of coaching. So I have been into this leadership training for over two decades and I'm very excited to share my learning, share my experience with the folks who are not part of my organization. So I can help them in meeting their goals, meeting their dreams and help them realize their dreams come true. Brilliant. That in itself is something very worthy. So that's a great segue into what we're going to discuss today. I know you do a lot of work with the mind and how we think things through. And one of the things that you focus on is how we can all take consistent action. Can you tell me more about that? Sure. So in my experience, I have seen that one of the prime reasons why we are not able to achieve what we want is we do not take consistent action. Action is something that will take us closer to our dreams, our reality. And one of the very critical reasons why we fail in taking consistent action is because we are not very clear about our why. Why we need to take that action. And I have realized in my personal life that once you know why you want to do it, you automatically your conscious mind helps you in taking that action. So number one thing in order for us to take consistent action is know our why. Why behind of taking that particular action. Okay, so when you say know our why, I'm assuming you're not meaning in terms of like Simon Sinek's why. Are you talking about the purpose of the action that you want to take? Is that what you mean when you're saying know your why? That is correct. That is correct. The purpose of taking action, as well as how that will change us, change the people around us, and how it will make us more meaningful, more joyful, and more happier. Okay, so once you know your why, then what happened? So once we know why that really creates momentum within us to take that action, and why it creates a momentum, because it gives us clarity on how things will happen once we take that action. For example, most of us, we want to take action to manage our lifestyle. Now, if we just want to manage our lifestyle, just because it is it is anything or it is something that has been done by many, that will not allow us to take action. However, if we want to change our lifestyle, and if we know our why, that why would could be, it will make me healthier, it may help me do more productive, it will help me do more more things, it will help me have a healthier lifestyle. That's what makes things happen for us. If we just do it for the sake of doing, then we will not be able to take that consistent action. So why is what is the purpose, what will happen once I take that action, and how my life life around me will change for better when we take that action.
The HUMAN Training
Fresh update on "one week" discussed on The HUMAN Training
"Still paint the walls. And then a week later. Oh, I forgot about that. We finished. Yeah. We were still paper walls. Wyatt's little baby. Wasn't the baby's two? Make it look like a dog. Alex's like two. Maybe one. He was here riding around doing stuff while we were painting everything. My mom even came and helped paint it. She was 70 years old. It was pretty cool. Yeah. It was cool. I felt bad. We worked her to death. Yeah. We took netting down. It was a lot of work. The building's 47,000 square feet, so there's a lot of netting that has to come down. Scoreboards, goalies. Windows to clean. Oh my God. All glass walls. So all of our training fields, they're surrounded by eight feet tall human shatterproof glass. Well there's soccer prints, hand prints, human prints. Head print prints. I mean any print you can think of on both sides of those windows. I know for a fact I spent a whole entire eight hour day cleaning windows and it wasn't even half that. Not even. And then when we got that one with one side we went, oh shit. Now we got to go on the inside and do it. We're not dead. We're only halfway done. And you can't see the smudges until unless you're on the other side of the glass, so you could clean it but not miss parts. It took a long time. And then light bulbs, we replaced over, I can't really count, I know it was over $5,000 in the first two months of light bulbs. Oh my God. That's how many light bulbs they had lit. And in the middle of doing this, we're training dogs because Charles sold a few dogs the first week we opened. Right. The first week we opened and they knew they were our first. In fact, those first two dogs, Laney, she was just here boarding last week and that was three years ago and we were just all joking with the owner. I remember when he came in, it was just the two of you. And then Hank. And then Hank after her. Hank. They're both two of the most dog aggressive dogs we've trained. So right off the bat, to this day, they're still two of the most dog aggressive dogs we've had. And they both ended up liking dogs. Well, Hank doesn't like dogs. No, Hank doesn't like dogs. Hank very well tolerates dogs. No, Hank liked Daisy. Oh yeah, he likes dogs very much. So there is some selective dogs that he actually does like. I never thought, it took him like two years, but he finally warmed up to a couple dogs in class. So Hank went to group class at least two years until the owners moved out of the state. So he didn't need it for obedience. No, no. In fact, he really didn't need it for reactivity. They disliked it. It was their hobby. Yeah. It was just fun. But yeah, he could be off leash in advanced group class, surrounded by dogs. Look at him. He didn't care. Go hiking. Laney, Laney. He just didn't want to play with them. But you're right. He did. Yeah. He did form a bond or two with a couple dogs. And then Laney will lay on her back right now in the middle of anything to force to pet her. And she wanted to kill dogs. She was. Like 100%. She was an intense girl. And he was psychotic. She would about snap her neck to purl herself at the end of the leash to get to a dog. I'm like, you're going to kill yourself. What are you doing? Quit that.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Rep. French Hill and Sen. Tom Cotton on opposing the shutdown
"Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, another gold bump in honor of Senator Goldbars Menendez. I'm joined by Representative French Hill from Arkansas. Representative Hill is one of the smart guys because he's on the Intel Committee. That's handpicked and the Republicans are always serious about that. He's also on foreign affairs and financial services. Our old friend John Campbell used to serve on financial services. That's one of the smart committees. So Representative Hill, welcome back. Good to have you. But you are a Vanderbilt grad, so we're not going to talk about football. Seriously, you lost to Wake Forest and the University of Las Vegas. Does that, how does that go down with the Commodore Nation? Well, it's we're always waiting for golf season. Congressman, the House is going to come up with a solution or the government's going to shut down. What's it going to be? Look, Hugh, if we want to be strong, if we want to lock in the wins that we got in the debt ceiling negotiation, when we put forward a plan that actually cut spending year over year, change the regulatory focus, encourage more people back into the workforce, we need to pass these 11 remaining appropriations bills. And that was not gotten to over the summer, even though now think about this, Hugh, even though each of those bills is written at a spending level below the debt ceiling deal and each one locks in conservative policies. It's really so frustrating to me that those have been delayed from coming to the House floor, including twice over the last week by a handful of members when they're missing this big picture. Lock in the wins, cut spending, reduce regulations, get more people back in the workforce, get the spotlight back on Joe Biden's failures and off of the House. Congressman Hill, I don't expect you to speak ill of a colleague, but I can. Congressman Gates wants to be governor of Florida. Congressman Maryland native Matt Rosendale wants to be senator from Montana. Ralph Norman, Congressman Ralph Norman wants to be senator from South Carolina. Going to run against Lindsey Graham. And Congressman Dan Bishop wants to be the attorney general of North Carolina. So I understand self -interest. Those guys have no interest in governing. But do they really want to bring down the Republican majority? Because they're going to get crushed if they do this. Right. But by this kind of of tactic, you're going to end up with a Biden Schumer clean debt ceiling deal and with spending levels, certainly at the Biden McCarthy level, but weaker policy, weaker policies. Because in order to be the strongest negotiator, get the most conservative win, we need to pass the appropriations bills. That's why McCarthy's plan this week of trying to get the rest of the bills across the floor, at least 70 percent of discretionary spending, plus plus a four week short term stopgap spending measure measure that cut spending, repeat cut spending for that one month and put border in the spotlight by putting H .R. two on. There is no conservative that should vote no on that. And this is just arguing against ourselves. It's a huge mistake. Now, Congressman Hill, I call him now St. Kevin. I've known the speaker for a long time, and now I'm going to have him nominated to be considered for sainthood because that is a difficult caucus to deal with. When you've got four members who are leading the Nuckelhead caucus and my buddy Ken Buck wants a CNN contract, there really isn't any appeal to their self -interest. How do you move them? I mean, are you going to have to use Democrat votes? And can and can Speaker McCarthy remain speaker if he uses Democrat votes? Well, I think that's what we have to try every single day to put a bill on the floor and find out that, as you say, this small group is the tyranny of the tiny, as I describe it, is violating the majority of the majority because they're going to hurt the conservative cause. They'll cause us to lose the House. And that's certainly not in the interest of the conservative cause when we're on the cusp, potentially of beating Biden in the presidential election and winning the Senate back. It's ridiculous. You know, if former President Trump gets reelected and the House switches to Democrats, they will impeach him in the first week. Do these allegedly Trump supporting congressmen. And it's Norman. It's Maryland native Matt Rosendale is running for Senate in Montana. It's Ralph Norman and it's Matt. Have they heard from the former president that he wants to be impeached again because they sure are acting like they want him impeached again? Well, look, they don't even they spend what he says now. President Trump last week said use the power of the purse to get control of Joe Biden's two trillion dollars of extra spending. I agree. That's what the debt ceiling does. And that's what these spending bills do. And that's why we have to get them across the House floor. He did not say he Trump did not say shut the government down and act like knuckleheads. He said, use the power of the purse to get the most conservative deal. Get this country back on track. I agree. That's what we could do if we had those four people assist us get these bills across the floor this week. Well, I just their their incentives are to get ink. And I mean, their incentives are not the incentives to govern. And I don't know how hot it gets in the caucus. Can you tell us that our members of the caucus about had it with these guys? There's nothing you can do because they're running for statewide office. But if they had it and expressed it. Well, I think they have had it and expressed it in blunt terms, including calling them out that if you vote against the rule on the House floor, you're working with the minority party. You're working with Democrats when you do that. That is not acting as a member of the majority. And I think you're seeing the country respond to look at Moody's comments yesterday, look at the VIX up to day three percent. Look at the 10 year Treasury rate up over four point five percent. This is going in the wrong direction when we should be taking a win right now of cutting spending 24 over 23, getting better rules and regulations in place, countering Joe Biden's bad policies. And as I say, encouraging more people back to work through our welfare reforms. These are classic conservative Republican wins. And we're squandering the opportunity. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is kind of a Republican specialty in the House. So let's let's focus on that for a moment. When do you get a test vote today or tomorrow on whether or not the four will move or they will stay for? They've got more than four right now, but you've got serious people like Chip Roy are not playing these games. Will the Freedom Caucus bring whatever persuasive influence they have to bear on them? Well, we're going to bring a rule. The rules committee met Friday and all day Saturday, so we'll be bringing a rule up either tonight or early in the morning. That will be the first test case to see if we can move these spending bills, which includes state and foreign operations spending, which is at one point seven billion below twenty nineteen levels.
Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 43: Week 2 Recap
"Welcome to the Ultraflex Football Podcast. Move over Pat McAfee. There's no denying that we are here to spice up your life and never forget about the good times. I'm your host, Anthony Sutton. With me, as always, is Rob Green. Man, I wasn't prepared for that change. What's up? What's going on? And Viva Forever, Ryan Wheeler. I feel so much pressure. Now we got to be better than Pat McAfee. All right. Oh, we got the... Go ahead. No, he's actually like swearing on ESPN now, and he's got like Mike Greenberg, he swore on ESPN now because of McAfee. He's actually... A little more laid back now, huh? Yeah, he wears a tank top. He's very good for ESPN, in my opinion. Go ahead. He's spicing up Disney, huh? I think I saw, didn't they have to put him on like an extra delay versus normal? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. He has to cut out the F words a little bit, I heard. Someone's got to tell him to stop the cursing. No. Why? That's what makes it fun. I'm like eight song titles through my album here, so. Oh, he's like, damn, you're doing song titles already? Yeah, I thought you had to say him first. Holy moly. All right, well, we're about to find out what your song titles were. So Tony messed up two weeks ago. He didn't get all the song titles in, so now he has an album to himself, but because this is a team sport, a team podcast, Rob and I now have to split apart, or a album between ourselves. So Rob and I have Good Charlotte, The Young and the Hopeless. My songs are A New Beginning, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, Wondering, The Story of My Old Man, Girls and Boys, and My Bloody Valentine. Rob? I don't know, man. I'm not feeling good about this week. This is a lot. Seven songs and a half hour show. All right, I got Hold On, Riot Girl, Say Anything, The Day That I Die, The Young and the Hopeless, Emotionless, and Movin' On. Tony, we're all wondering, what do you have? You have the Spice Girls, my man. And I already, I've gotten already into the pod. I've already gotten Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Never Give Up on Good Times, Move Over, Denying, and Viva Forever. I still need to get in Too Much, Saturday Night Divas, Do It, and The Lady is a Vamp, which will probably be a difficult one. Hold on, can you say that one more time? What was that? The Lady is a Vamp. Like a vampire, assuming? What's a vamp? It's a vampire. And that's from the Spice World album. 1997 made me feel old AF. 97, wow. I remember watching the Spice World movie, the Spice Girls movie. I do not remember. Oh, you guys didn't have older sisters, that's why. No. All right, anyway. Movin' On. All right, speaking of Movin' On, the NFL schedule moved on. We are now in week two, so let's get to Football Talk. And I guess technically we're in week three, so we're going to recap week two. As always, we're going to start with the Bills game, go to the Titans game, and then kind of what else is going on. So, Rob, you were at the Bills Raiders game. What were your biggest takeaways? It was a fun home opener. The Bills got back to their winning ways with a nice, easy, I'd even want to say I was worried at the beginning. It was a little annoying that they fell behind 7 -0, but I was confident they would still pull it out. They did. Josh Allen ended up AFC Offensive Player of the Week, I think the 11th time in his career now, which is pretty impressive. Wow, the franchise record. Oh, I didn't know that. Nice stat. You beat Jim Kelly, it was 10 times. Well, pretty nice. Feels like a new beginning for the Bills, for sure. Nice, Ryan. Where was I going with that? I told you guys a stat yesterday, actually, that surprised me, but Josh Allen is number one in completion percentage so far this year. I know it's only two games in, but fun little tidbit there. It's crazy how much can change week by week in the NFL, and it's going to happen again this week. If the Bills were to lose to Washington and go 1 -2, then it almost feels like the game, I know it wouldn't be a must -win, but it feels like the game against the Dolphins the following week would feel like a must -win. That way, they're not 1 -3 and that far behind the Dolphins, but yeah, it's crazy how much can change in one week in the NFL. Oh, show. My biggest takeaway, and I said it last week, kind of a similar takeaway for me was last year it felt like we never got pressure on the quarterback. This year, it feels like we're constantly getting the opposing quarterback pressure, and it feels like our offensive line is playing well, so big task, which is we're physical, we can run the ball, we can block, we can get pressure. It's a good change of pace. I don't know, honestly, I'm not smart enough to tell you if McDermott's play calling is a factor in that, or if it's just Leonard Floyd, hopefully his ankle's okay, is better, and Ed Oliver's having a better year, so on and so forth. Yes, I saw his average depth of tackle is negative yards right now, which is impressive. So his average tackle is a tackle for a loss. That's awesome. That's literally the definition of blowing up a play. So yeah, it's exciting. Obviously, this win means something, but it doesn't really if you go and lose to Washington, so got to two and one. Two and one, by the way. Oh, yeah. I think everyone does the thing where you kind of... Did we just lose our host? It kind of looks like a frozen face there. Okay. Hey, frozen face. Oh, Rob, it's you and I. Let's do this thing. All right. So I didn't get to talk about the Titans at all. Can we say anything now, because he's gone? Yeah, we can say anything. Say anything, say anything. Sorry, I can't sneak any of these. Good Charlotte. Anywho, girls and boys, my takeaway is that the Titans are who I thought they were. The team that... I guess who a lot of Titans fans thought they were. The team that's probably... You are who we thought you were. Welcome back, Anthony. Thanks. They're the team that's going to beat the good teams and lose to the teams they should beat. And that's how it feels like the Titans have always been. They keep every game close. They have a shot. They have a chance in every game. So they're not quite the young and the hopeless, but they're just maybe like the mediocre. No, they're not the young and the hopeless. Oh, I thought that was one of my song titles. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, no. Clearly. Well, okay. I guess I can cross that one off my list then. Anywho, you know who else I was impressed with was the Falcons. They play a certain brand of football. It's the NFC Titans. I think I have to be a fan of the Falcons now. But just ground and pound, they came back. They were able to pull that one out in Green Bay. So... Yeah. The Falcons. To your point, there's not many teams, I feel like, in the NFL that have an identity, like a true identity. The Falcons are one that you know exactly what you're getting every week. And that could be really good or it could be really bad. Oh, for sure. One of my week two takeaways is prior to the season, it was always... And I was the one on this podcast kind of leading the charge is how good the AFC is gonna be. And then if like through two weeks, which is, again, a small sample size, it feels like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys are playing just as well as anybody. And they're all in the NFC. Now, the NFC doesn't have much else to offer, but those three teams are gonna be very formidable to whoever comes out of the AFC come Super Bowl time. Yeah. At this point, their high -end talent almost seems better than the AFC with a lot of the top teams in the AFC struggling. So... Do you guys think that three of the top five teams in the NFL are NFC teams? Maybe even three of the top four teams in the NFL? I think that's fair right now. Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it? Because before the season, it was like, the AFC is so strong, so good. They have all the good quarterbacks and two weeks is a pretty small sample size, but I think... I think at this point, yeah, it's safe to say those three teams are top five. I don't even know who you would put... I mean, I guess the Dolphins are probably the best team in the AFC at the moment. I mean, the Chiefs scored 17 points against the Jaguars. And I mean, the Bills looked very good last week, but you can't ignore how poorly they looked the first week on offense. So... And then obviously, the Bengals Chargers being 0 -2 hurts the AFC's, I guess, power rankings or however you want to look at it. And then Rogers being hurt. Those are three teams that I thought were going to have a very good season. They still might. Maybe not the Jets, but the Chargers and the Bengals.

A highlight from 1401: FIDELITY: Bitcoin Will Hit $1 Billion Per Coin By This Date
"In today's show, we're going to be discussing Bitcoin ignoring the CPI and FTX as the price action hit us a September high of $26 ,600 as the bulls are back in control. We'll also be discussing the court approving the sale of FTX digital assets, meaning the assets will be sold off weekly with special handling for Bitcoin and Ethereum and insider affiliate tokens. Also breaking news just in, Congressman Tom Emmer launches an anti -surveillance state act with 49 Republicans in a new push against CBDCs, central bank digital currencies. Also the SEC chairman Gary Gensler says crypto is a field rife with fraud, abuse, misconduct. It's daunting. We'll also be discussing breaking news, $800 billion asset manager Deutsche Bank partners to offer Bitcoin custody for institutions. Let's go. It virtually means that the bank can now hold crypto directly for its clients. Also in today's episode, we'll be discussing, can the Bitcoin price achieve fidelities? $1 billion price target by 2038. That's right, the $4 .5 trillion asset manager is predicting that one Bitcoin will eventually be worth $1 billion per coin. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo, what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at cryptonewsalerts .net. Again that's cryptonewsalerts .net. With that being shared fam, welcome to everyone just joining us. This is pod episode number 1401. So let's fricking go. Today is September 14, 2023 and the crypto market is back in the green. Shout out to everyone out there in the live chat. It's good to see the entire Bitcoin fam. So yeah, let's kick it off with our market watch. As you can see, Bitcoin is trading back above $26 ,600. We also have Ether trading back above $1 ,600 and virtually most all the major cryptos are in the green minus BNB barely in the red. And checking out coinmarketcap .com, the current crypto market cap sits just north of $1 trillion with $28 billion in volume in the past 24 hours, but the Bitcoin dominance at 49 .2 % and the Ether dominance at 18 .6%. So yeah, checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours. We have Axly Infinity leading the pack trading at $4 .73 up 11 % followed by ThorChain up 5 .5 % trading at $1 .65 followed by Conflux up a modest 5 % trading just above or I should say just shy of 12 cents. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers for the past week, we can see virtually everything is in the green minus a handful including Scamcoin FTT down 5%. Axly Infinity leading the pack here as well up 12%. And as you can see, the alts are pumping. That's what's up. How many of you took advantage of this recent price dip? Let me know. And how many of you are gonna be hodling into the next Bitcoin halving, which is roughly six months out around the corner. Holla at your boy chat. I appreciate the interaction. At the end of the show, I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud. And how you doing today for Christ's sake? Holla at your boy. Don't be a stranger. And with that being shared, now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Check out the charts and what is popping with the King crypto. Here we go. Bitcoin hit new September highs after the September 14 daily close as markets digested macroeconomic as well as crypto. Industry news, which you can clearly see here in the Bitcoin one hour candle chart. Now data from Cointelegraph and TradingView tracked the Bitcoin price highs of 26 .5 over on Bitstamp and Bitcoin had shaken off the higher than expected US CPI the day prior, which we covered here in the show, maintaining that 26 ,000 support. Subsequent confirmation that the defunct exchange FTX had received legal permission to liquidate its remaining assets likewise failed to dent Bitcoin's comparatively solid intraday performance. And a little later in the show, I'll be sharing that ruling directly coming from the courts in regards to the FTX assets being sold. Now coming up to the range highs and once we flip these levels, we can look to finally get into a safe position and long since popular crypto trader, Crypto Tony and fellow analyst, Dan Crypto Trade suggests that the overall Bitcoin market dynamics have changed versus the period of weakness seen around the monthly close. Quoting this gentleman here, market feels different this week. The dips are being bought up relatively quick and while the price keeps sweeping highs, it keeps crawling itself back and leaving the lows untouched. The spot bid is also stronger than the past few weeks, might be wrong, but I am optimistic. Let me know if you agree to disagree with the analyst and additional analysis predicts that the longer term Bitcoin price breakout should US regulators approve a Bitcoin spot ETF or which we all know is inevitable over the coming months. He also says that BTC .d is still holding on the previous range high, which is the Bitcoin dominance chart and in the CHOP region, but ultimately says, I think this would go higher in case of a Bitcoin ETF approval one day. Yeah, that's right. They can only push it back and delay it for so long. I believe the next day they have to acknowledge it is in October and more than likely Gensler and the SEC is gonna push it back till next year. That's just my two Satoshi's. Let me know your thoughts, fam. Now more cautious was Trader Sku who referenced the on -chain volume prime to cool once more after the relief rally, quitting him here. The daily structure looks fairly good here and decreasing volumes. So could definitely be looking towards a relief rally before lower as the commentary read, noting the Bitcoin was still holding the key 25 ,000 level. Now with Bitcoin up just 1 % month to date at this time, Bitcoin is nonetheless on course for its best performing September and years. As we know, it's usually September, pun intended. According to data from monitoring resource CoinGlass, the last time Bitcoin gained in September was all the way back in 2016. That's like holy moly, seven years ago, fam. That year was its best on record at a modest 6 % while its biggest red September bear month was two years prior when it lost a whopping 19%. Talk about total bloodshed, right, fam? Now in 2022, Bitcoin shed 3 % before climbing another 5 % in October, which is a popular month amongst the bulls who informally referred to it as Uptober. So hopefully, God willing, we have another Uptober here right around the corner as we're already halfway through with September. With that being shared, fam, let me know your thoughts and outlook on the current landscape of the crypto market. Do you feel we're likely to correct lower or do you think we'll continue rising back towards that $30 ,000 level psychological resistance? Let me know, chat. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the latest judgment coming from the courts regarding the FTX asset sales. Here we have it. This is just in, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of FTX digital assets. We have Judge John Dorsey who made the ruling at a hearing yesterday, September 13th. Major changes were made to the draft order authorizing the sale the previous day. Now as you know, there's been a lot of FUD of people talking about all the assets, billions of dollars worth of crypto is gonna get dumped and it's going to wreck the market. Well, there are some caveats, so it's important I share them here. FTX will be allowed to sell the digital assets excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and certain insider affiliated tokens in weekly batches through an investment advisor under pre -established guidelines. There will be limits of $50 million for the first week and $100 million in subsequent weeks. There will be an option to increase the limit with prior written approval of the creditors committee and ad hoc committee or to raise the limit to 200 million weekly with the approval of the court. So they can't dump it all at one time which is good for the bulls, right? Now Bitcoin and Ether and insider affiliate tokens can be sold through a separate decision by FTX. After 10 days notice to the committee and the US trustee, the US trustee is appointed by the US Department of Justice. Now I'm curious what those insider affiliate tokens are. If I was to guess, I'd guess FTT, that scam coin, Bankman Fried created out of thin air and I'd also throw Solana in there, but what are your thoughts, fam? Let me know. Those sales will also be conducted through an investor advisor. Information about the sales will be subject to professionalize only and confidentially restrictions with a redacted version accessible to the public. The sales will be subject to written objection by the committees and the US trustee. And in that case, the sales will be delayed until the objections are overcome or the court orders a sale. Quoting Bak Ubu here, FTX adapts crypto sale plan to address the US government concerns. FTX, the bankrupt crypto exchange is making changes to its proposal for selling billions in crypto assets. That's right. And I just broke down ultimately what you need to know. The conditions on the latter sales were added in the draft submitted September 12th, a couple of days ago. They were regarded as cautionary moves to ensure the market stability during the influx of FTX assets. Some observers noted that the sales will represent only a small portion of the trading volume and may not have a heavy impact. But according to a recent shareholder update, FTX has $833 million worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum collectively. FTX can enter into hedging arrangements using Bitcoin and ETH with the private approval of committees and can use them for staking according to the guidelines. The FTX token, as we know, is FTT, cannot be sold without further court authorization. Well, good for them. Glad to hear they're not authorized to sell their scam coin and dump it onto the market. That's definitely a good sign, wouldn't you think? Now let's break down the next breaking story of the day. Gotta give respect and credit where it is due. We have US Congressman Tom Emmer who made a very strong anti -CBDC stance and we know that's the central bank digital currencies which the central bankers are gonna be rolling out and I know their pilots have already began rolling out around the world. So let's discuss this anti -CBDC push because I'm all for anti -CBDC. That's why I promote Bitcoin every day here on the pod. Bitcoin is the antidote to the CBDC. Let me know if you understand what I'm saying. Now Congressman Tom Emmer is leading the reintroduction of the bill that aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from creating a digital dollar. God bless him. Emmer says on the social media platform X that if it isn't designed to emulate cash, then a CBDC would dismantle the American's right to financial privacy while also emboldening the administrative state. Facts. The majority whip says that the new bill attempts to prohibit the Fed from issuing a retail CBDC while protecting innovation and any future development of true digital cash. This bill puts a check on unelected bureaucrats and ensures the US digital currency policy upholds our American values of privacy, individual sovereignty and free market competitiveness. The administration has made it clear. President Biden is willing to compromise the American people's right to financial privacy for surveillance style CBDC. I don't believe in compromising American rights. That's the bottom line. If not open, permissionless and private like cash, a CBDC is nothing more than a CCP, which we all know stands for, right? Style surveillance tool that will be weaponized to oppress the American way of life. Preach. I couldn't have said it any better myself. I stand by what he is saying because I know it's fact. Now while official, the concrete plans for the CBDC haven't been released by the US government as opposition has already formed, which is a good sign. We also have US candidates who are running for the presidential election next year in 2024, including current governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who is running as a Republican. And we also have Kennedy Jr. who is running as a Democrat who are both pro Bitcoin and anti CBDC. So we must stand strong and oppose these weapons of financial mass destruction, which are better known as CBDCs. So again, much respect to the congressmen and those making this push. Now last month we also had Ohio Republican Warren Davidson said the CBDCs pose an existential threat to the Western civilization and was committed to fighting against them. Davidson said that he wants to prohibit the CBDCs because they threaten other digital assets like Bitcoin and impede the development of the beneficial financial technology. Facts, quitting him here. Central bank digital currency poses a serious threat, tall digital assets, as I said, at flyover FinTech. Many people wrongfully conflate even Bitcoin with a CBDC. Ignorance is bliss, huh? At least most agree that CBDC is evil, the financial equivalent of the Death Star. Great reference to Star Wars there. Don't become an accomplice to anyone designing, building, testing, developing, or establishing CBDC. Banning a CBDC is essential to the American's FinTech future. So there you have it. What are your thoughts on CBDCs if they roll out, which more than likely they're going to eventually at a theater near you, are you going to participate in them, is the million dollar question. What if they give you a stimulus and they promise you, we're gonna give every American $5 ,000 of this digital dollar, AKA CBDC, central bank Ponzi scheme currency. What are you gonna do about it? I say just say no to Bitcoin, or I'm sorry, just say no to CBDCs and fight it with the antidote, which is Bitcoin, by simply stacking stats today and preparing yourself so that you can fight the tyrants who are trying to take over our country. Just saying, fam, let me know if that resonates with you. And with that being shared, now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the latest with Mr. Gary Gensler, the chairman of the SEC and what they recently shared with Congress regarding cryptocurrencies and enforcement. Here we go. The chairman of the SEC, everyone's favorite huckster, Gary Gensler talked about cryptocurrency during his testimony before the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on Tuesday, two days ago. Reiterating his views that most crypto tokens are securities, Gensler told the lawmakers without prejudging any one token, the vast majority of crypto tokens likely meet the investment contract test. Given that most crypto tokens are subject to the security laws, it follows that most crypto intermediaries have to comply with the security laws as well, quoting the chief right here. In terms of crypto, I've been around finance for 44 years now, and I've never seen a field that is so rife with misconduct. It is just, it's daunting. He further described the crypto industry right now. Unfortunately, he says there's significant noncompliance and it's a field which is rife with fraud abuse as well as misconduct. Now the Senator Bill Hagerty asked Gensler during the hearing what the SEC needs to see from issuers to approve a Spot Bitcoin ETF. Wouldn't you say that's a great question? Following the recent court ruling in favor of the grayscale investments, now the court found that the securities regulator, denial of grayscale Spot Bitcoin ETF app, was arbitrary and that the SEC Chairman Gensler replied with the following, we're still reviewing that decision. We have multiple filings around Bitcoin ETF products, so it is not just the one you mentioned, but there's multiple others. We are reviewing them and I am looking forward to the staff's recommendations. So there you have it. How do you feel this will likely play out regarding the regulators and crypto choke point 2 .0 as it continues? Do you think it'll keep pushing innovation outside the United States? Or do you feel that it's just a matter of time and Gensler's no longer gonna be able to push back these deadlines for the SEC approvals? Because we all know once the Spot Bitcoin ETFs get the green light from the regulator, it's game on. There's literally trillions upon trillions of dollars right now sitting on the sideline just waiting for that freaking approval. And if it wasn't for the SEC, we'd already had a Bitcoin Spot ETF a decade ago because that's how long they've been denying them, right? In fact, the very first Bitcoin ETF application was submitted by the Winklevoss twins of the Gemini exchange literally over a decade ago. And while they keep approving these futures ETFs which aren't in the investors best interest, but to keep pushing back the Spot ETFs which benefit everyone makes no logic except they're doing what they do because that's what they do and let's leave it at that. And with that being shared, fam, now let's break down the latest breaking news regarding Deutsche Bank. This is big news coming from another major institution and then I'll be breaking down the $1 billion fidelity price prediction for the King Crypto. That's right, they're saying that one Bitcoin will eventually be worth $1 billion per coin and then we'll dive into our live Q &A. So yeah, here we go, breaking news just in. The German bank, Deutsche Bank, was one of the handful of companies to invest in a $65 million Series B fundraising round for tourists in February of this year. The company offers enterprise -grade infrastructure to issue managed custody and trade, cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, as well as NFTs and other digital assets. Let's go. Now according to Taurus' co -founder, Lamin, the partnership underwent a thorough and very detailed due diligence process before the German bank decided to use its infrastructure services, quoting them here. It started end of 2021 and ended somewhere in 2022. We won the deal a couple of quarters ago and as previously reported, Deutsche Bank has been brewing plans to offer crypto custody and trading services to its clients over the past three years, since 2020. The bank most recently applied for a digital asset custody license from Germany's financial regulator, Baffin, in June of this year, as it continues plans to offer its customers access to crypto markets as well as assets. Now brain, aka, confirm, whoever that is, the agreement is global in scope with tourists providing custody and tokenization tech in line with the local regulatory requirements. Let's get it. Good stuff. And I appreciate the live chat right now. I am tuned in and checking you guys out. Much love. Any questions, feel free to drop them. And again, at the end of our premiere story with Fidelity, we're gonna be reading those comments out loud. Anyways, announcing the partnership, Deutsche Bank Global Security Services head, Paul Maly, said that crypto space is expected to grow to trillions of dollars of assets and is likely to become a priority for investors and institutions. Preach, that's a given, right? Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank's asset management arms, DWS Group, had reportedly been in discussions to invest in two different German -based crypto firms in February of this year. This includes crypto exchange -traded product provider, Deutsche Digital Assets, and market maker, platform, Tradius, Deutsche Bank Singapore, and Memento Blockchain also recently completed a proof of concept called Project DOMA, which stands for Digital Asset Management Access, which allows for the management of digital funds and tokenized securities. And founded in Switzerland in 2018, Taurus' Series B round was led by Credit Suisse and included the likes of Deutsche Bank alongside Arab Bank Switzerland, indicating major interest from traditional financial banks. Let's go. The announcement of its Series B round also clearly outlined Taurus' aim to serve tier one banks in Europe. And they also told Cointelegraph that the platform serves close to 30 banks, with most deals going beyond cryptos to including tokenization of equity debt as well as other products. Deutsche Bank is set to offer customers crypto custody options through a partnership with the cryptocurrency infrastructure platform, Taurus. Now obviously, this is a major, major deal when you have a $800 billion asset manager, such as Deutsche Bank, partnering to offer Bitcoin custody for institutions around the world. The bank can now officially hold crypto directly for their clients. So there we have it. Another one bites the dust. And now for the moment you have all been waiting for. Let's discuss this $4 .5 trillion asset manager, Fidelity, which I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, is the second largest asset manager in the world, next to BlackRock that controls over 10 trillion in assets under management. They're predicting, their head of global macro, Julian Timmer is predicting that the Bitcoin price hit $1 billion per coin. So let's break this down, shall we? And then we'll dive into our live Q &A. Here we go. Fidelity's prediction for Bitcoin. We have Julian Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity, put forth the notion that Bitcoin, the king crypto, has the potential to reach a value of $1 billion per BTC in roughly two decades, specifically around the year 2038. So there you have it. Right now we're in 2023. So what is that? Roughly like 15 years out. To supply the forecast, Timmer employed a combo of models and charts with particular focus on the stock to flow model and his own demand model. These analytic tools form the foundation for his primary prediction. And speaking of stock to flow, massive shout out to Plan B, creator of the Bitcoin stock to flow model. Now he believes, along with the stock to flow, the data, which doesn't lie, that the Bitcoin price is subject to hit between 100 ,000 and a million dollars after the halving in 2024. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the stock to flow prediction. And now we'll get back to this analysis from Julian Timmer of Fidelity. The above demand model employs Metcalfe's law, and according to the numbers of its users, grows linearly, the network's value, or interfiends, the Bitcoin price, grows geometrically. This means that the utility of the adoption of Bitcoin are expected to grow more rapidly compared to its network of users, exchanges, ATMs, and participating retailers. Therefore, this model predicted that the Bitcoin price will reach $1 million, which is seven figures, by the year 2030. Now I'd also like to throw out there, we also have Cathie Wood of ARK Invest predicting a $1 million Bitcoin price by the year 2030. In fact, if you've been following my show, then you know her bear case scenario is over a quarter million per BTC in 2030, her base case is over 600 ,000, and her bullish case is $1 .48 million per BTC. There's other big analysts and financial institutions as well, just as bullish as Cathie Wood. So I just wanted to throw that out there that there's others in agreement with Jurien Timmer thus far on this Bitcoin price prediction. So yeah, in contrast, Timmer's stock to flow supply model noted the event of significant price surges during each halving event. Consequently, when considering this model in conjunction with the other factors, it foresees a Bitcoin price range of $1 million to $10 million for Bitcoin defined by the year 2030. Timmer's demand model is more inclined towards reflecting the bottom of the Bitcoin price. But on the other hand, the stock to flow model seemed to provide a better approximation for the peak of Bitcoin. However, it's worth noting that the disparity between these two models widened significantly beyond the year 2030, which is where things get interesting. The reason behind this gap is expected to be the changing value of the dollar, as many, many economists are anticipating the crash of the dollar in which Jurien Timmer is as well. So Timmer proposes that the value of the dollar undergoes fluctuations over time when compared to other traditional assets. For instance, if just $1 was invested into the stocks during the 18th century, its present -day value would be roughly $4 billion. You mean to tell me $1 invested into stocks in the 18th century is now worth $4 billion? That tells you everything you need to know about fiat currency, folks. Now similarly, Timmer implied that if $1 million was invested today, it can grow to $1 billion in just a span of 20 years. This further revealed that the purchasing power of the dollar has significantly reduced due to factors like inflation and depreciation, and let's not forget, money printer continued to go. Just saying. Thus, Timmer's statement implied that keeping a fixed amount of dollars for many years may lead to a reduced purchasing power due to the assets' changing value, and over the last few years, an increasing number of are companies taking over the $1 trillion market cap, and as a result, it's foreseeable that in the next two decades, the concept of a trillion -dollar valuation will become more common. Yes, right, so much that individuals themselves could be worth a trillion dollars or even more. The scale of numbers may even reach the quadrillion range. Like, whoa, so is this milestone still achievable for Bitcoin is the million -dollar question. So despite Bitcoin's historical growth, it had recently faced a significant setback. Bitcoin's network activity had diminished, and it had fallen behind in comparison to Cardano's network, for example, the number of active addresses in the Bitcoin market had experienced a notable decline when compared to the levels seen in 2021, but we also gotta note that we're currently in a bear market, past couple of years. We hit the cycle peak back in 2021, and we soared. Remember COVID era? Bitcoin dumped all the way down to like $3 ,500 range, and within a year, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, we hit that all -time high, which is the current high of $69 ,000. So this just goes to show you how fast Bitcoin can climb during a bull market, and we know the past couple of years have been bearish as all hell, right, especially 2022. We had the collapse of Terra Luna. We had the collapse of FTX being the second largest crypto exchange at the time. There was mass contagion. Everything was impacted. We dropped to a new cycle low of 15 ,700, but I think the bottom is past us. What's your thoughts, chat? Do let me know in the comments so I can read those out loud here in a little bit, but let's finish up this prediction. The higher network activity, like increased transaction volume or active addresses, is viewed as a positive indicator for the growing adoption for Bitcoin. This can create a sense of confidence amongst investors, potentially leading to the rise in demand and positive effect on the price action, and although Timur's prediction may be considered far -fetched and lacks empirical evidence, it doesn't completely dismiss the possibility of Bitcoin reaching such levels. The concept of de -dollarization has gained stature, shifting global attention towards alternative currencies. The shift in focus is expected to drive the demand for assets like golden crypto, such as Bitcoin, and with BRICS pushing for the fall of the dollar, the BRICS currency and Bitcoin are expected to garner continued momentum. So there you have it, fam. What are your thoughts surrounding this whopping $1 billion price prediction for the king crypto by the year 2038? Do you think it's realistic? And before we even got to that billion prediction, what about $1 million by the year 2030? Do you think this is realistic? Do you think this is a pipe dream? Do you think this is conservative? What's your honest thoughts? And where do you feel the dollar is likely to go over the course of the next few years? Do you think it will not even be in existence and will be replaced by the digital version, which is the CBDCs, central bank digital currencies that Congressman Tom Emmer and many others are warning you about? Let me know your honest thoughts. And don't forget to check out cryptonewsalerts .net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in the live Q &A.

A highlight from Vitalik Was Hacked! (Beware Of The FOMO!)
"Snapped in, hit that button, they signed in, and they connected their wallet, and next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack. Some people weren't patient, and they saw Vitalik tweet out a link, and they impatiently just snapped in, hit that button, they signed in, they connected their wallet, the next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack, everybody. But, it wasn't his wallet that got hacked. It wasn't his bank account that got hacked. But his ex -account did get hacked, everybody. Ethereum co -creator Vitalik Buterin's ex -account reportedly breached. Hacker makes away with $690k. Do they stop there on purpose? Almost $700k, folks. You can see he was leading to a left of $690k. As per Decrypt, the breach happened on Saturday. A post surfaced on his feed promoting NFTs from a software provider, ConsenSys, which turned out to be a scam link displayed to his almost 5 million followers and asked victims to connect their wallets to mint the NFT. Instead, the hacker gained access to the funds. I believe a couple punks got stolen, so most of what got stolen was NFTs, folks. So just got to be careful out there. Maybe people don't have a whole bunch of ETH on a wallet, but they have some NFTs, and so they're out there. They're just clicking things. They're linking things, and it didn't end up going well for those people. So you got to be careful clicking links out there, folks. I think it was a little bit of a FOMO. If I'm guessing what, if you see an hour -long post or, you know, and maybe, but when you see it's, you know, you refresh by following, and it's a 14 -second link, you might go ahead and click that because, oh, you know, only 5 ,000. Maybe they go get claimed. You go on Etherscan. You see 17 people did it in the last two seconds. You're just going to FOMO in. You got to be careful out there. It happens. It does happen. It happens. I don't think that includes the values of the stolen punks. I thought it did. I'm not sure. We'll look more into that as this story has time to digest everybody. Just here to talk about, okay, Tim. Tim and the investing bros are out there, 9 to 10 AM, everybody. You can check that out. All right. Ethereum creator Vitalik, co -authors paper detailing method for weeding out dishonest crypto users. Here you see an Ethereum coin floating in an aquarium for some reason. Him and four additional authors detail how privacy pools can be useful in weeding out unscrupulous crypto traders. Oh, that's a pool. That's not a pool I would want to go into. Give me a bunch of chlorine. Give me some salt. I don't want critters and plants growing in there. In a lengthy thread, one of the co -authors, Amin Soleimani of Privacy Pools, further explains how the protocol works and how it can help issues experienced by users of sanctioned Mixer tornado cache, which is deemed a national security threat in 2022 and banned in the US. With Privacy Pools, users can publish zero -knowledge proofs that their withdrawal originated from an association set that excludes known illicit deposits. In theory, this allows users to prove regulatory compliance and still maintain privacy while using public blockchains. Paper concludes the privacy regulation may be compatible despite generally being perceived as contradictory. I have one issue with this. I guess you could put it as some sort of thing where an association set that excludes. But what's stopping someone from getting four ETH that is from stolen funds from the Lazarus group and then dusting everybody and dusting 10 ,000 wallets with the stolen ETH? Would you then, you know, render those wallets obsolete? Or what if it scaled up? And what if a million people did it a million times a day, what would that look like? So I don't know what that's going to look like. So we have this awesomely photoshopped picture right there. I think that was taken January. Anyways, SEC files appeal against Ripple as legal battle intensifies, levels allegations against Ripple, accusing the company of stalling resolution to preserve unregulated sales. SEC is urging the court to speed up the proceedings. Gary is saying, you need to get a green light, let's go. SEC makes a compelling case for streamlining the proceedings, emphasizing the imperative and efficient resolution. Meanwhile, Ripple stands firmly in opposition, invoking questions of law and strategy, saying, hey, guys, we need time to plan for our appeal here, while the SEC is steadfast in its resolve to scrutinize both, I think it's supposed to be programmatic sales, not pragmatic. Pragmatic just means that makes sense to do it. XRP fanatics would say it's always pragmatic to buy XRP. I think it's supposed to be programmatic here. Programmatic sales and other XRP exchanges for goods and services. Ripple, on the other hand, plans to deny the regulators a request for repeal. Why does this matter? The SEC's decision to appeal the ruling is a development in the ongoing legal battle between the agency and Ripple. The case outcome could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency industry, as it could set a precedent for how the SEC regulates cryptocurrencies. Guys, we're going to see more and more of these, you're going to have the, let me use this word right here. Yeah, I didn't want to say it because you're going to have a, it's basically a pickleball game. It's going to go back, it's going to go forward, it's going to go back, it's going to go forward. I don't have a law degree, because I don't have a, I can't explain to a five -year -old what this means. The SEC has filed its reply memorandum in further support of its motion to certify interlocutory appeal. Of course. When you say it like that, it just means, oh, of course. Basically what it means is, hey, stop, no you stop, no we stop. And then as we get closer to the real news, we'll start letting you know. But this is going to be a mini -month process, I don't see anything happening really, really quickly with this. All right, let's talk about the XRP market cap though. Is it up? Is it down? It's down. It is down. It's down big. Down big, folks. Bigly. Billions. Just one, actually. XRP one erases billion from its market cap in one week. What is this? Is this a towel? Is this a blanket? Is this a car cover? I was thinking the same thing. What is it? I want that swath of cloth. I don't know where it goes, but I just want that swath. Give me that swath. All right, as long as I can stop a moth from my swath of cloth, or maybe it's a cheese cloth for a broth. I don't know what it's for, folks, but anyways, let's get right into the story here. As the sell -off, we're going to go right into this, get ready, Kelly, get ready. As the sell -off continues across the wider cryptocurrency sector, XRP is no exception, having lost over one billion from its market cap in a matter of mere days, despite efforts to increase liquidity by unlocking a billion XRP from the Ripple's escrow system. Yeah, because let's increase liquidity by dumping a billion. That'll work, right? Whoa. No, I think maybe people saw that as a sell the news event there. From Ripple's escrow system and later relocking 80 % into two escrows, guys, they dump, and then the escrow usually sucks up a portion. Most of it. But then when you're not looking, then when you're not looking, that escrow account will dump a little. It'll sprinkle a little here and there. You're like, wait a minute. This is really interesting. You know, I obviously looked really far into XRP's Soconomics when I did the XRP price prediction video, which was actually the best one of them all, and this whole bit about how they unlock a billion XRP every month, and then it's, you know, an X amount, whatever percent, normally it's more than 50%, normally 70, 80 % gets sucked back into a different escrow account, but there is no determining why whatever amount gets pulled back. If anyone knows the answer to that question, please, by all, please let me know. It's Optics. I've thought about it. I think it's an Optics thing. Okay. It sounds really good. Look, we have, I don't know, what is it, 46 billion left, something like that, maybe, yeah, probably around 46, 47 maybe, they have 47 billion left and they dump a billion a month. That sounds pretty bad, but then when you interject this, oh, but we have this entity that just vacuums up 75 % every time. It doesn't sound as bad, and also Ripple, they probably want to make some money selling some Ripple 49 months from now, 50 months from now, 60 months from now, 100 months from now, 200 months from now, and the way they do it is they just suck it into that escrow account. Right. But I'm just saying sometimes it's 70%, sometimes it's 80%, sometimes it's, there's no, I get what you're saying, but there's no rhyme or reason to how much they pull back, and that has always just confused me, especially, people want to project, what will the supply be by 25%, what will the supply be by 30%, and when you have really weird kind of random things like this, it kind of leaves a lot of us stretching our heads, like how are we supposed to figure this out, and the answer is you don't, because it's up to them. No, so you're wondering, like why do they leave 20 % instead of 80 % or 1%, I think they do a little bit of... They change it every, they do it once a month, and it's different every time, it's different every time. It's crazy. I think it's, they think what the markets can absorb. Right, that makes sense. Yeah. That's probably more of a gut feeling. Sure. It's just there's no rhyme or reason to the numbers. There's probably some math quant that they have in a dark closet, and they're like, all right, how many can we, all right, 248 million. And then they shut the door and they see him in 30 days. They throw some Vienna sausage cans at him, probably try to hit him in his head. All right. Refill his water. I like it. I think that's exactly what happened.

A highlight from Get Ready for Laser Season: Dr. Macrene Alexiades on Everything You Need to Know
"This is the RPD podcast where we are always reaching for truth and beauty. Remember, the brands on the show are not paying to be here, so we get to ask the questions you want answered because you deserve to be informed so you can make the best choices for yourself. And with that said, I'm Amber, and today my fabulous cohost is Dr. Makreni Alexiadis. I hope I got that right. She is a fabulous Greece native. By the way, Greece is one of my favorite places in the world. But a Greek name, so I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that right. She also holds three degrees from Harvard, is a practicing dermatologist in New York City and an all -around amazing, brilliant woman. I'm so honored to have you on the show today, Dr. Makreni. How did I do with the pronunciation? Like a native. Like a fellow Greek, I'm so honored. I mean, so, you know, prior to this, you know, when we were just chatting a minute ago, Greece is one of my favorite places in the world. I've been there three times now. Never to skiros where you are, but it is just magical. Are you? You were actually born in Greece. I wasn't born in Greece, but I'm a dual citizen. I spent half my life here, half my life in America, back and forth. And so that has really inspired me and given me a worldly view and a balanced view. And the Greeks, we were taught the Socratic method from birth, which is to question and to probe and to find the meaning of life. So it has really benefited me as a physician and a scientist and a creative and an artist. And I'm grateful to be able to bring that kind of global viewpoint to everyone. I love that. And again, I find that the Greeks of all the places that had been were the most familial, the most warming, the most, you know, come on into my house, come do this. And also the best tomatoes I've ever had in my entire life. Like it's just the best food ever. Thank you. Well, it's sun and believe it or not, not that much water in the summer and soil makes for fruits fantastic and vegetables. So delicious. You know, so listen, full disclosure, we are recording this. It is still summer, but this will air in September. So with that said, you know, I'm so excited to have you here because you are truly an expert in everything lasers. In fact, you told me you were writing a second textbook while you're there in Greece. Yes. I usually take this time when I'm not seeing patients to work on my academics, which is particularly textbook writing, which requires undivided attention. My first textbook is Alexiadis's cosmetic dermatologic surgery that was published by Walters Kluwer. You can get it on Amazon and it is the first of its kind. It's a disorder based text that takes the reader down an algorithm of the best medical cosmetic, which includes injectables, heels and lasers and surgical treatment options. And it's good for both patients as well as colleagues, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, physicians, who really need to know what the gamut is, the panoply of treatment options that are available. And then my second textbook is on photodynamic therapy. That is with the publisher of Selvia. That is the book that I'm finishing right as we speak. And that is an area of specialty of mine as well. In addition to lasers, it's the use of light to cure disease. Oh, I love that. We've been talking so much about different light therapies, red light therapy, blue light therapy. But I'm hoping that today, that you are really known as a laser expert. And since, by the time this airs, last weekend will have been the unofficial end of summer, even though summer doesn't end for like another few weeks, this is a really great time for people to start thinking about different sort of laser therapies that they can do, right? And so I'm just wondering, when we hit the fall, what are some of the most popular things that you were seeing in your offices? Great questions. And you are right. My patients are planned out months in advance. So I do my fall laser planning in the spring. So patients come in the spring, they start to complain about the things that start to present themselves when we start to get sun exposure, such as brown spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation. And those are not conditions you want to treat in the summer, particularly with lasers, because lasers kick up the heat in the skin, and you can get a tanning like result from that. So we pause on the use of lasers for pigment until the fall. So it starts back up pretty much end of September, beginning of October. And the other is, is that lasers against pigment are not as effective in the summer when you're getting all your sun exposure. So it may actually be working, but it looks to the patient as if it's not working because they're tanning in the summer. So all my laser cases are already fully booked all the way through to the holidays. I mean, yes. And you do have, I don't know, are we allowed to name drop? Can you tell any of the celebrities? Well, I think it's like public knowledge. I leave it to my celebrities. If my celebrities want to mention me and give me some love, and some of them do like Sienna Miller, Brooke Shields, and those guys, it's wonderful, Nikki Hilton. But I really adhere very, very, very strictly to HIPAA. And I know like, I mean, people have called me a billion dollar box office success, which I cherish that title. But my lips are sealed and I just, but I derive a great deal of satisfaction, pride and joy actors at keeping and models in their business, in their work, well until their elder years, which is really a source of pride for me. So on that, do you feel like there are certain things that you recommend kind of everybody does? Of course, we all have different skin types. We all have different conditions, but are there certain procedures now that you were loving, especially coming into the fall, clearly we are too late to book with you, sad, sad, but are there things that you are kind of loving out there for people to be doing this time of year? And are there certain treatments that you love for this time of year? There is no end to what I can do. I mean, I have to say, I was at a dinner party that night and one of the ladies was saying how plastic surgeons or dermatologists told her there was like nothing to be done for her. I have to say, I mean, I am fortunate that I have the embarrassment of the riches of knowledge and experience in both injectables and devices, but really there is no end to what I can do. I can treat in the summer. I am just saying that there are certain devices you do not want to do in the summer, such as fractionated devices, Q -switch devices, picosecond technologies, those are better done in the fall, but I have great treats for everyone all summer long. One of my current favorites is radiofrequency microneedling, which I am honored and acknowledged as, single -handedly, the dermatologist, scientist, and laser specialist who brought this whole genre to market. I sought and attained the FDA approval between 2006 and 2010 for the prototype radiofrequency microneedling device. That one was called the Profound. And since then, we have had a huge crop, a whole generation of devices, such as Morpheus is one that people know about. But there are many different types of genius, infamy, intensive, they are utilized in a way that is safe for all skin colors, all skin types, and can be used in the summer months. So that is one of my all -time favorites for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, rejuvenation, all summer long, with no risk of downtime or hyperpigmentation. Okay, so let's go back to the fall now, right? So because that's what we're kind of, the season we're coming into, good to know though that radiofrequency can be done year -round, what are your fall -specific treatments? What are the things that you're starting to address now, you know? Okay, so come September, you're done with your summer, Labor Day is over, now we're in the saddle, we're looking at this rung of treatment that is really dedicated to this time of year. When you're in September, be aware that there's still this delayed what we call seasonal lag. You can get this first week in October that's very sunny and warm and it really helps you to be outside. So please delay a little bit in treating your brown spots and hyperpigmentation with devices until October, however, in September, I do start to do some rejuvenation on people who I trust and know are really not going to go out in the sun, so that might include intense pulse like IPL, that is great for getting the summer off. All the sun damage you've accrued over the summer, you can start treating in September and if you're somebody who really is not going to go out in the sun, whether it's because you have kids in school or you yourself are working and you know that even if it's an Indian summer, you won't be outside, then you can treat with rejuvenation lasers such as fractionated resurfacing known as Fraxel, picosecond lasers such as Picogenesis or its predecessor, Genesis laser. These are all devices that are great for rejuvenation, for getting rid of sun damage, which you've accrued over the summer in short order so that especially if you can do a trio, which a lot of times these devices are done three months in a row, a month apart, three treatments. If you do September, October, November, you're ready for holidays. You're ready for Thanksgiving and winter holidays. Now I have to ask you, and I don't want to put you on the spot because do you have a lot of these devices in your office? Oh yeah, I have over 50 lasers and devices in my office. So here's where I'm going to put you on the spot then. Is there one that's like kind of your favorite? It's like asking who is your favorite child. Oh no. No, I mean, you know, my girls will tell you, like they're all my favorites. For example, I have specific devices that are my go -to and my favorite for eyelid tightening. So my claim to fame is that I replaced the plastic surgery with devices and injectables, right? And I'm replacing cosmetic procedures with active ingredients through my macrine actives. So that's been kind of the progression of my career over the last, and I have to say I've been in science for over 40 years, so I've been working really hard for many decades, but the progression was initially replacing plastic surgery with devices and injectables. And I go through phases of what my favorites are and then taking all that knowledge and translating it into active ingredients. So ultimately we can do all this at home, but I will just give you some of my highlights. All right, so if you don't want plastic surgery, be on the lookout for skin laxity, in my opinion, other than like having brown spots and sun damage, which of course does, you know, make you look not so great. I think it is equally important to keep an eye out for jowls and loss of the beautiful like elasticity of the skin that you want, especially in the jawline and neck. If you start to see jowls, if you start to see laxity, intervene earlier with non -surgical alternatives so that you don't end up needing surgery. Give you an example, I've been taking care of a classmate of mine from Harvard undergrad that we were class of like 89 and she doesn't look any different than when we were in college. Why? I have her face memorized and she believes in me so much and in the science and what I've done. She comes every four months like clockwork for all these years, 20 years, getting skin tightening with me with radio frequency devices, infrared light. She doesn't have any jowls, of course, a little bit of filler. And then she uses my actives. So if you were to really prioritize devices in my practice, I would say you want to keep on top of two classes of devices. One are the skin tightening technologies, whether it's around the eyes, jawline or neck or body, if you're down to body now. And then the rejuvenation technologies that we just talked about, IPL, fractionated technologies, genesis type devices to keep the sun damage and wrinkles at bay. And then if you need something more aggressive, you can always go to a CO2 laser, which I'm a specialist specialist in that as well. And that really is in my hands, an art form. I tailor the carbon dioxide and the erbium lasers, which are really our Cadillac devices for those who have more significance on damage in most cases or wrinkles and aging. But honestly, even people who have very light skin that starts to wrinkle a little bit prematurely in their 40s, maybe candidates already. And that, too, prevents the need for, say, blepharoplasty, which is eyelid surgery. It may prevent the need for a facelift because it'll give you enough of a strong rejuvenation.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Session 22 Evangelism
"This, that I'm giving you here now, is geared to this, and so you can use the ideas. If you don't use the book, you use another discipleship program, there might be ideas in here. I may develop this further. This is what we teach disciples for six weeks. I may develop it eight or ten weeks. I've not done that, but this is the way we'll do it. By the way, we printed this up on eight and a half by eleven sheets, but when we print it at home, we put them in notebook form. They're a six by nine notebook, and they fit in that. They come out five and a half by eight and a half, and they fit in a six by nine notebook, and we punch them for our disciplers. We tell you it's fine for you to copy these if you want to use them, and you can do them for a small notebook. You do whatever you want on that. It begins the purpose of this discipleship notebook. These lessons are written to teach disciplers how to use the book Growing in Grace. I go back into the fact why I believe in one -on -one discipleship. Undoubtedly, the material in these lessons will not cover everything the discipler will face. This material should help the discipler plan the discipleship time so it is most effective. These lessons will present the objectives to be reached and the methods suggested to accomplish that. Growing in Grace involves 13 lessons. The number of meetings the discipler has with the disciple will be 14, unless they want more. At the first meeting, the discipler introduces the material. Then they meet once each week for 13 more weeks. These instruction times will involve six weeks, but will give the discipler an understanding of how to handle all of the lessons. You might want to write more and develop it even farther, and I think I probably will. I have not. I think it maybe needs to go a couple more weeks, but it's kind of repetition after a while. Discipleship appointment the first week. So this is the appointment of the discipler with the disciple. This is the appointment, and this will be the objectives of the appointment. They come together, and the very first week now, you don't give any assignment in advance of this. To discuss the new believer's decision to hear his testimony, to determine the reality of his conversion. To teach carefully and thoroughly the scriptural matter of assurance. That's teaching lesson one even before they get to it. To show the new believer what assurance means to him and to others. To begin developing a communicating relationship with the one being discipled. To get this new believer started in a daily personal devotions time. To answer questions in the mind of the new believer, and to make the next assignment. Outline just what you expect. Be sure to have the disciple realize that he will be accountable to you for his progress. You should make the assignment at the end of lesson one in Growing in Grace. Explain exactly what you expect the disciple to do. So you take the book Growing in Grace, give it to him. By the way, I have found it's best to have the discipler give the disciple the book. A person comes forward and gets saved, and you have them in your study. And you say, well let me give you a book and we'll get a discipler to you. And you give them the book, and they look at it and they think it's too hard. And then the discipler has a hard time getting to them. Now I do not give the book myself. The discipler carries the book, this first lesson, to the disciple. And makes the assignment that day before the disciple has opportune... Now we've got a woman and her son being discipled right now. But I gave her the book the day she got saved. And then I assigned the lady the discipler and she just would never work out of time. She'd call her, she'd knock on her door, never could find her. And the lady did have problems, she was going through a divorce. But she just, I think she took the book home and looked through it and said, Wow, not on your life. And so now I have the discipler carry the book to the disciple. And give them the first meeting and understand we're going to meet. And we'll ask people, Are you willing to meet with one person once a week to really work with you? Would that be alright if we set that up? And generally they say, Yeah, that'll be alright. And then we appoint that person. We may find when they go there that that person didn't realize what was involved and they may start to back out. And there's no need to force them to do it. If they're not in it with their hearts, you're not going to go anywhere. And so you don't disciple everybody. You try, but some of them don't go on. Alright, now let's go back to this. You should make the assignment at the end of lesson one in Growing in Grace. Explain exactly what you expect the disciple to do. Encourage him to do the assignment on a daily basis, a little each day. This is better than for him to try to do it all in one day. Memory verses must be done daily. Now you've got to emphasize, you're going to have to memorize. This will be your hardest point. Forget them to memorize. Otherwise there will be no success whatever in this area. And so you must work with that. Teach him to review these verses daily. Show him that he will be reviewing the verses each day for seven weeks. And then I go through every one of those objectives listed here in this assignment to the disciples. And I go through every one of these objectives quite thoroughly on the matter of salvation and assurance. So there are more pages in this lesson one than there are any other of the lessons. You'll find I've gone through it quite thoroughly. What are there? Looks like there are six pages there. I've written that thoroughly so the disciples can go back and refer to it over and over again if he needs to.

A highlight from The Debut of NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube
"Welcome everyone to SI Media with Jimmy Traina. I am your host, Jimmy Traina. Thank you so much for listening. Bonus episode, bonus podcast on this Monday after the first Sunday of the NFL season. We had the debut of NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. It was on DirecTV for like 25 years. Now it's on YouTube. And Sal Licata, who joins me every week for Train of Thoughts from WFAN in New York and SNY TV in New York, joins me where we share our experiences with Sunday Ticket on YouTube, getting it set up, what we thought of it, full review, full breakdown of everything, what you need to know about it, what their differences are if you have YouTube TV, if you have cable, full breakdown of everything all related to NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. That's what this pod is with Sal. It's like a full -blown Train of Thoughts. So listen to Sal and I discuss it, come back later in the week for a regular episode. If you missed any recent episodes, check them out. Last week, Julian Edelman was on. He was great. Just joining Fox had some great Brady and Belichick stories. Charles Barkley was on recently, Peter Schrager, Chris Russo. Check all those pods out. Subscribe to SI Media with Jimmy Traina. And this is one of two episodes this week. All right, let's get to it now with Sal. Full episode here on NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. All right here right now on SI Media with Jimmy Traina. Welcome everyone to SI Media with Jimmy Traina. Thanks for listening. Bonus episode this week. This will be one of two. We're taping this on Monday after the first week of the NFL season, the debut of the new Sunday Ticket on Yahoo, on Yahoo. What a dope. On YouTube, on YouTube, I had to get on with Sal and we're just gonna riff about our Sunday Ticket experiences in week one. Sal, how are you? I'm great and I'm excited to have this conversation with you because we've had this many times over the years at dinner, at our houses, whatever, discussing this exact thing. And we both, I know, had great experiences yesterday. So I'm looking forward to talking about it with you. Well, let's start with this. There are many, many train of thought segments on this podcast over the last three months where you said you were not going to get Sunday Ticket. You were not going to get it. You're just focusing on the New York teams. And then I got the text message. Let's see here if I can find the text message. Even, even early, I noticed you were starting to cave a little bit earlier this week. Actually, 9 .34 a .m. on Sunday, I'm still on the fence. And then at 10 .45 a .m., the text came in from Sal. I'm in. It's like Michael Jordan returning to the NBA. I know. I thought about writing to you. I'm back. I was thinking about it as the week went on. I told you, like, because of the lineup with the playing Giants Sunday and the Jets playing Monday, that to me made it worse. Or you were saying, oh, well, you're going to have the national games. Yeah. But knowing that I didn't have to watch those games at that time made it more appealing for me to get the get the Sunday ticket. So I kind of thought I'd be going that way. And then Sunday morning I was like, fuck it. Let me just get this thing in. It's worth the money. Let me see what it's all about. And is it great. So so let me do a little preamble here before we get into it, because I want to say this and let me know if you agree, disagree. But before we even discuss this, I think what we need to establish is this. How you feel about Sunday ticket, whether it's direct TV, YouTube, the changes or it's it's going to depend on how you watch football, number one, and it's going to depend on what services you have. Now, for instance, Sal has direct TV. I have I don't have direct TV. Oh, oh, you have optimum cable. Correct. OK. Optimum cable. You were scamming the direct TV Sunday ticket all these years. That's right. All right. I did have direct TV. Right. And this is an important part of it. I don't want to gloss over it. And then I moved into the city and I was not allowed to get direct TV. So what they did was allow me to stream Sunday tickets. So I have been able to stream Sunday ticket for several years. So whether you have optimum like Sal, I have Verizon, Fios. Some people have direct TV. Some people don't have any cable. They have streaming services. That's a factor in all this. And then the other thing that I think added so much confusion over the last couple of weeks and is early yesterday there's also this huge Sunday ticket is different based on whether you have YouTube TV or you're just using YouTube. Now, Sal and I both have cable, so we're just using YouTube. If you have YouTube TV, the experience is different. So there's a lot of layers to this. It's very convoluted. I'm going to do my best to try to break it down for you now. So the biggest thing is this. If you have YouTube TV, you're good to go with Sunday ticket with your in -market and out -of -market games. You have nothing to worry about. If you don't have YouTube TV, like Sal and I, you're not getting the local market game. So on Sunday here in New York, Steelers, Niners was on Fox at one o 'clock. Browns, Bengals was on CBS at one o 'clock. Those games are not part of our Sunday ticket packages on YouTube. If you have YouTube TV, they were. So if you don't have YouTube TV and you just have YouTube, you have to have more than one television. I think if you want to watch all the games, if you care about one team, you're fine. You really do need to have two TVs because what I did was I had on my big TV, the multi -view with the four games. And on the second TV, I had one of the local games because that's how you have to do it. So, so far I weigh in on what I've said so far. Yes. Okay. Question here. Number one, if I had YouTube TV, do I then get the local games as part of the game mix? Yes. Oh, shit. See, so I may consider then, I don't know if I'm realistically going to do it, but that to me is like the number one thing that's been missing forever on the prior service. And now that I cannot have, because like you, I like to have the game mix and the four box grid, but it automatically takes out whatever local game is on. And I hate that. So here in New York, we could not get a four game multi -view that had either Steelers Niners or Browns Bengals in it on Sunday. Cause those are in market games. So there was no multi -view whether it was four games, three games that had those games in it. If you had YouTube TV, those games were part of the multi -view. So you, so you, so you would consider getting rid of optimum and getting YouTube TV. Well, I didn't know that that was the case. I mean, I probably, truth be told, I'll never be a cord cutter, but if I were to get it in addition, it might be worth it at least just for the season. Now I screwed up because I bought the ticket. Although I guess you have this period now where it's kind of, um, you know, the tree trial period and I can make a decision at the end of the week, but, uh, I'd rather than go back and get the ticket much cheaper if you buy YouTube TV, I think. Right. You know, YouTube TV is like $80 a month. It's like a cable service.

"Everybody on my shoulders. I'm going to carry the nuts into the playoffs. So that's my first spec. My next one's very easy. Row you mentioned this person earlier. Every time he comes on the screen, I absolutely have to stop what I'm doing. And I'm watching this game and I'm watching him play because he's a human highlight reel. Give me the grizzlies and John Moran. That team as a young and up and coming team and what they accomplished last year, super fun. But this is a one man peck for me. It's the John Moran highlight show. I get it. It's a safe pick. You would want the grays. Everybody wants the cres. He's another guy like Zion where you're like, I mean, I think he's healthier, but you're like, how long can a human do this for? You know? Like he launches himself out of a cannon four times a game. It's amazing. Part of he kind of reminds me I grew up on, you know, the Charles Barkley team's right after that, obviously, was Allen Iverson. And he has super for what you're saying like launch himself out of a cannon for his size. Every time he goes into the air, I'm like, oh man, there's so much contact coming. I hope he doesn't hit the deck too hard. And then he springs back up and he's back at it and he's just like, he's a Jack in the box. It's amazing to watch. Can I throw some like, so also you get Steven Adams moments, which are just like each one of treasure. You know what I mean? The other day, I mean, he's like taking other people's towels. He's given him a job. You also get, if he ever makes it up to the big time roster on these games where he swings up, you get Kenneth Lofton junior, who is, as wide as he is tall, and he's like 6 5. He's a thick dude. It's fun to see someone out there who doesn't look like a NBA player, being an NBA player, just watching a big dude, somebody who are like, you can see yourself on the screen. If you're a thicker cut of meat, like I am, that alone is worth switching over. If like, hey, Kenneth Lofton, junior's getting some garbage minutes. Let me go see grimace sets and picks. You love a thicker color meat. I like that. I love it. I don't know. I don't know if I've told this story on the podcast before I just want to say real quick. I was in Oklahoma City doing a story on Chris Paul in December 2019, and I'm interviewing Steven Adams for it.

"One of them. Made sense. That might be a little bit of a fall for him, but you never know what these interior lineman late in the draft. So yeah. Yep. All right. I mean, I remember in 2020, I didn't think Mike on when it would be there in the 6th round and look what happened. So everybody was inherent. And not that Justin runs a bad player, but that was the guy everybody thought, oh, Justin Iran, they might have something here. Oh, I love this one. Yeah, I really loved it. But I will admit that a Brandon Thornton we had on a few weeks ago was the first one to introduce me to before the draft. And he was the one that was really, you know, the ringleader of that one. Christopher Allen from Alabama really injury riddled a career at Alabama. Otherwise, if he's healthy these days on the field, who knows, I mean, he could be a top 100 pick. You know, that kind of talent, right? So yeah, physical, well made NFL ready frame very, very good edge setter can play the run and rush the passer. He's got a complete skill set if you can stay healthy. The reason why you're getting him all the way down here is because he's always heard. So the Patriots ten chances on these types of guys all the time. They take chances on these types of guys, and I think Christopher Allen could be another one of those. You get the thumbs up from Nick Saban. He stays on the field. You get lucky, stays on the field. I think that he's got some real strong side edge potential for the Patriots. I think he could start at that position if he's healthy. Yeah, I mean, it's a risk. You don't know if he's gonna barely play in college, but in the 6th round, this is the kind of guys you're taking. And I don't think that's the worst thing in the world. DJ Davidson, Arizona state, gotta get in Arizona state, sun devil in there. That's the thing now. 6 three three 27 to quote Phil.

"We'll be great. Did what he can play on the ball off getting coups mma and casey p mantras herro. All the guys from the lakers. Like just filled out the roster. They needed veteran help. They just they were so thin and relying so much on their youth and they were so you know obviously just backward heavy and so the cap room and the minutes. It's just gonna be spread across more capable bodies. And they'll just going to be more functional. I like what they have right now. Zooming thomas bryant comes back healthy. To now you've got multiple bigs between thomas bryant and herald and gaffer who was a really nice find late in the season great deal for gaffer that that can play. He is exactly what you need in the modern nba kind of spring. Big man and listen. Look chris you glance at this and no added glance that in star driven league bradley beal. Plus a bunch of really good players is not going to make you a contender. It's not even necessarily going to get them to crack the top six in the east because he's gotten tough but there. I think there are a playoff team at a minimum of play team. And they've got all these all these movable pieces now so when the next opportunity comes to try to upgrade around bill. You've got guys you can move. You're not stuck with john. Wall deal that you have to flip for a russell westbrook or stuck with russell. Westbrook you've got flexibility. I like where they are. I don't know how good this team will be. I really don't are they. Five hundred a couple of games over. I'm not sure. But i like what they've got very interested to see where it goes and if nothing else it sure seems like. They've sold bradley beal on their future. I mean you're not hearing a lot around the league our about the availability of bradley. Beal there are still teams that are trying to keep their powder dry in case bill becomes available. But if i had to say anything this is more than anything i've heard from washington internally but around the league like the perception. They don't believe bill's going anywhere they believe. Whether it's in october or end of the season that is going to be in washington long-term so if you accomplish that and you're the wizards you've done your job like that's it. You get to keep bradley beal. Twenty eight year old in his prime all star to kind of build around. Now that keeps you relevant in that market. So the wizards. That's that's a big time win for you. You you've struggled make the playoffs. That's a win no matter what this time next week howard we are going to have actual training camp things to talk about after media days. Open up see what the lakers say. The nets say all across the league. We'll try to figure this out so finally we will be back with a real stuff next week.

"They're both really talented. But they're both six one most people would tell you. That's probably not a great plan for the future going forward in terms of especially defensively at some point. You're going to pick one or the other. So there's that mobile now and there's a case to be. They fit together but now it's kind of this reclamation project high pick and in chicago showed some promise they gave up on him. Finally can you. This is up. that's a value play right so value. Play well hopefully we get more out of market and then the bullet kevin love is sitting there. That contract has been a disaster from the moment. he signed it a few years ago. They're still dealing with that. So they're in this sorting out phase right. We acquire jared allen we acquire the market and we got this high pick immobile. He's really promising. Could be one of the great young bigs in the league of everything breaks right all these things but we don't know how it fits together or what. The bigger picture plan is as you know if it all comes together and at some point you have to move on from kevin love who are taking a massive amount of cap room but not doing anything for them. And there's another immovable asset. I don't. I don't think we're gonna see a john wall for kevin love deal. But but he's in that category of of really difficult to trade assets the the the question from our our follower twitter can't remember the name when you brought up the question but like fight for a playoff spot. I mean basic math. Says they're just not even anywhere near here. The teams that are definitely ahead of the cleveland. Cavaliers start the season brooklyn milwaukee philadelphia. Miami atlanta boston new york washington indiana toronto. And probably even charlotte so no. The cavaliers are not making charlotte definitely charlotte. Charlotte's can be pretty good this year. toronto maple will happen with raptors. But now they're they're a ways off from making the plaza just trying to find peace that work fit long-term and then think about the playoffs Year from now bardo thank you for that name blurred. Oh he asks any reason to think the kings will be over five hundred this year. Howard i don't think of the kings as the canning's anymore. I don't think they're as dysfunctional as they used to be. That's a credit to monte mcnair. Who i think has brought some some strength to that front office but but no. I don't think they'll be above five hundred. I love their offensive firepower. Yarn fox is explosive. Buddy healed can shoot harrison barnes. They held onto in part because they wanted to make a playoff push this year. But the gotta play defense to make the playoffs. Our and that team doesn't offend anybody so they've been in the thirties for most of the last five years or so in terms of win totals. I can see them being in the low to mid thirties again this year unless something changes to give them some kind of defensive presence because they don't play it luke walton to this point hasn't really coached it and if you're going be all offense no defense..

"It doesn't do the rockets. Any good in terms of his trade value understand. It does them gooden's in the sense that the rockets want to move onto the next phase. They want to put the ball in the hands of their young players. And go ahead and continue essentially to to your at least tank job. Get another high pick. John wall might accidentally win them some games. But also you're gonna mist of a youth movement. So i get that but there is no market for a player with that contract right now especially one who has the injury history. Recently that he does so descending sending him home and having him sit out doesn't make any real sense on a practical level he should be playing but it certainly sounds like this is a case where we made just not see john wall again for a year. Now i agree with you. I think there's reason to for wall to come back and play like he might be able to enhance his trade value if he plays. Well i mean. I give them all the credit in the world. He came back from that injury. He was in shape like the games he was playing in. He was in shape but he's still shot like forty percent from the floor. Thirty one percent from three guys like that don't have. They don't have a massive market value. So if he comes back if he plays well maybe this team out there. It says legario. John wall street thirty one years old spending multi time all star. Maybe we'll take them on. But i think coming back is in his best interest and plays as best. There's all the way around all right. Let's jump into some of the questions here and us begin with joel. who asks. is it realistic to expect cleveland to fight for a playoff spot. When should we expect them to stop being so bad. Not realistic in my mind. Howard i think the big question for cleveland this year as their roster stands is ken collins. Sexton and darius garland play together at a high level. And can jared allen and evan mobely play together at a high level. Those are the the pairings that cleveland has committed to. and sexton's up for a big contract. They just gave jared allen a big contract. I guess they assume that he can play alongside moby. But i think it's more another. It's a developmental year for cleveland. If it turns out that both those things the answer to both those questions are yes then maybe a year from now. We expect cleveland to compete for a playoff spot. But they've got a lot of questions including kevin love like they do with him this season and beyond so i think it's more about development again in cleveland with the playoffs. Still kind of far off. I'll throw one more in there. You mentioned the two guards and having to figure out whether that works and whether that's the plan going forward and the two bigs there's a third because they acquired lowry marketing in that three-team deal that sent larry nance to portland. So where does morgan fit with these. Other two bigs. He's starting at a mobely. And are you are easing into it and listen. You can have a very functional three-man big rotation like that's a pretty good group but you still have to figure out the fit among those three and how any two of the three play together this team to meet. Chris feels like the the prototypical. We're just now throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks. And i don't mean necessarily in a negative way there you've got your back court..

Trump has some cars of the play. And he's just waiting to play play him but You know how many times have we heard How many times have we heard you know this is going to happen. That's going to happen. It's just been one letdown. After the other in here we are the only thing that has come. True is the predictions that trump was put out. Instead this is what biden's gonna do this. Do not my president at all either and definitely not. This guy. Couldn't hold a fucking bingo. I'm not even gonna go there either way This what's going to happen is we're going to see progression of this country. Getting bought off in getting paid off in our freedoms and liberties starting to go away. And it's already starting. I mean the first week of biden's presidency and i will always do this presidency in quotations this because it's bullshit presidency. We've already seen a decline in everything everything we've seen him play us like a fiddle in just sell everything off in everything he's done. It's been a shit show for the first week. Like i mean it's been really bad. You know just just even on our home front with our troops in just now all this stuff that he's reversing he's signing shit he don't even know what the fuck signing and it's there was a video wash today and he's like what is this i'll demonstrate. So what does this what. i'm signing own. Yeah did you see that and you know signing on that. I want to see the naked picture of nasty pelosi again. So he signed shit like this and he don't even know what the fuck you signing..

"Those left wing extremist. Those are the domestic terrorists here in america and same thing with china and the muslim community. So you could be you know right there or you can be extreme and you could be on that terrorist version of it right there and that's the same thing we're battling here on the home. Front same is no different. I agree gordon. Why we're not putting everybody in a group you know not everybody's in that group but there there's a select but we haven't here on the home front more here than what we need to worry about right now received gotta remember. We're playing by two different sets of rules but us talking about that not maintenance station. People view us as being not politically correct or wrong until we made. That station did not all are bad. But being conservatives being trump supporters were all nazis where all bad not the select few did what they did it to capital about the select few extremists that cause damage but all of us. So there's two different sets of rules that we have to play this world now. I have a good friend of mine. Who spent his entire life in the oil industry. Two years out of retirement can't get a job now because he was laid off by this last debate with president trump said that he was going after the oil industry. He said he was going to phase. It out is what people he lied. Cancelling the pipeline was not phasing it out canceling in that pipeline was breaking the legs of the oil industry in this country. We saw gas prices wab thirty to forty cents a gallon over night. You're going to go up even more than that gordon. Just watch they're gonna go up on an average of two dollars. Yeah it won't be long before here in texas and we're going to be paying at least five bucks a gallon and texas is one of the places where we pay the least and if it gets up to five dollars a gallon you can bet your but it's going to be around eight to ten dollars a gallon in california so get ready right and i was just thinking about new york and all these other states way of north montana. Yeah yeah it's going to be almost.

"Those are some lovely minutes too. By the way i love. I think it will look good in gordon but anyway i mean he's as radicals gets and he even to our national guard. But where's biden. What's he doing he's just hanging out. You know eating cookies from his doctor wife. 'cause she's a you guys know they're right jill. She's a doctor so we have to go by what she says to very important. But i'm gonna tell you right now. This cock sucker is in. We're in a bind with this guy. Office we are in a straight up bein. But this dude and i don. I don't know man. I'm just the hope of this. Nail down the shitter. But there's a lot of pissed off people besides us a lot of patriots in now. We're being called. Nazis now being called white safety and all this other stuff you know colombian come in in the words of joe biden. Come on man. What are we going to do. Well you guys have hit the nail right on the head. And i mean it's what i've seen so far is basically the left's attempt to flush america down the toilet and we're spinning cycle right. Now is the turds fixing to just go by by the most part and seen our troops on the floor of parking garage and feeding them basically crap and until Some of the other elected officials had to show up in at least get them pizza. I mean that's bullshit in our nation's capital no less. I mean i can understand if our soldiers were overseas or there were some foreign country or whatever the case might be. But this is our nation's capital they were called upon to defend. I'm so glad that. As far as i know right now. Texas and florida are the only ones that pull the troops back. And i do know then greg. Abbott received a call to allow the troops to stay longer and he basically told him to go fuck themselves. Which is i'm glad he did. Because you know these troops are over there. Doing what they can and they're over they're treating them like shit and like they Greg abbott said. These are not nancy. Pelosi's bill boys or whatever it was that he called Yeah i mean these are her slaves personal slaves and it was just amazing to hear all this and then a top it off like you said. They're basically releasing all the every everybody that they have at the border all the illegals but not only legal see release near releasing convicted criminals convicted criminals. Not your everyday joe. Blow is going to be out here going to work in trying to support family. They are releasing criminals that were convicted of.

"Where how do we. How do we control this mob insurrection. That's going to be coming through. The borders just like they are through portugal and every portugal the countries at are mobbing through just to get to the us. And i tell you and there's some other things that just own. Let's not forget that. He said he was Right now immediately. Immediately fellas immediately stating that He is releasing all illegals held at the border in the facilities. That are along. The border so not only is he allowing immigrants to come flooding through the southern portion of the united states. he's releasing everybody that's jails. that's in there right now. so i don't get it. I just i just don't get it and it is is something that that is that is offensive to me and it should be to everyone of you. That are listening to our voices right now. It should piss you off actually. He also has a recent a trump order on the electric power grid. That is in that basically takes care of this are united states and it took dan to our national defense. Now that just leaves us might open for china anybody else look into what we have and where we're going and how we're structured and everything else like that so thank you mr biden for actually just basically opening our up for anybody. Screw us as much as they want to agree. Rick i mean it's just crazy what we're hearing right now with all the bad things that are going on and people wonder why are the conservative so pissed off this is why and as well as a lot of the democrats are starting to get pissed off as well and i don't think they saw how jacked up. All this was going to end up being james. Give us your your thoughts on all this. I'll give them to you but you probably won't like it. Was everybody in this panel tonight here. The facts gordon laid it out perfectly perfectly. There's there's things going on. Trump did exactly what biden r biden. Did exactly what trump said he was going to do. I mean word for all the rallies we saw from trump. Saying you biden's going to do this. He's going to do that. He's going do this dude. So far this first of His presidency is shit show and he's doing exactly what trump said he was going to do. what's was makes me nervous is was down the line that trump hasn't a put out and said you know he's going to do this as well we don't know we don't know what the hell is gonna pull you know it's so bad that He didn't call for aid for our national guard. Folks that went down to the parking garage is so bad to the point where This donkey face bitch is crazy psycho. Frigging left wing lunatic. Offered help to our Our national guard said you know if you guys want to use my office you welcome in my office. It's to the point where he is more radical than she is. And that's that's kind of a hard one to top When you look at Bernie sanders man. All the means been going around this guy. It's making my day has got the mittens..

"More reliant on opec on foreign oil instead of our oil hundreds of thousands of jobs in one day and the one that bothers me personally. The most because of where i live. He cancelled the wall. He stopped building the wall. That protects said a salad southern texas citizens from the drugs the criminals that are flooding across our borders. There were numerous numerous reports of of two three days. Before the inauguration of uncle joe biden of convoys of people flooding to the borders to leave mexico to come into the united states now. I'm not saying that. All immigrants are bad breath saying that all people that you're coming from overseas into this country are horrible people but there are a few that are we. Don't mean that in this country we have enough in our own country. We have our own veterans who fought and died for the freedoms in this country. Who were living in the streets. Because they can't get a leg up anywhere and we're taking care of people who are coming across the border being drugs child trafficking in raping and killing and murdering people over our own soldiers who are on the streets and they don't care the left side doesn't care in. How do they illustrate since they don't care they had our own reserve. Is our own national guard sleeping in a garage. That's how much they care about our military. You know everything that you have right. There is truth and i mean there's no way to look at this other than a complete failure and like i said at the in the intro. It's far as the united states being in cardiac arrest rick. What's your thoughts on. All this agree with everything he is. He's mentioned so far. Let's not forget also that Yesterday he promised south. America mexican leader come forward and said biden had promised south america south american country. Four billion dollars in aid and restitution. What the hell do we own. A south american country for as far as restitutions is my question. He's also taxing legal gun owners. Who have an old weapon. And he's legal gun owners just like you and me. If you have an assault weapon you'll be charged an extra two hundred dollars per magazine and if it's berlin a thirty pack magazine. You're going to pay extra for that. Really tore my ass. Just like what gordon said. He's welcoming immigration with the ability to have green cards available as soon as they hit the united states worth adding..
