"Welcome back, Jerry, doctor dawn opal. How much value has she added to our work? In numerous ways, and I have to say we couldn't be happier in it, and it is a sign of how we're progressing in this work, right? And we knew when we started this radio show four years ago that we were going to be headed down the path to bringing more and more experts to the table Don has been one of our best and we love her and we appreciate her and we continue to evolve because of the great work that she does. Well, I would encourage everybody since she is our leading guest on the show to go back to food first am I dot org, our website that hosts all of our shows there. And you can search for doctor opal and you can find all the shows that she's done with us. And there was a show particularly coming out of the pandemic Jerry that we did where we talked about dawn's contribution. And, you know, her brilliance and her insight, her experience, all of that. But really what separates her was the passion she had, particularly for a group of seniors. In the pandemic, that didn't have access to food from any of the normal channels. That was really not in her job description, but she would not let it go. And she organized, worked with gleaners and east and other food banks, even consumers energy to make sure that people seniors in rural and urban communities that didn't have access to food got the food they needed. And I think she saved lives by doing that. Yeah. I am quite sure quite sure. Well, it's time for a little food for thought. Since knowledge is power and is powerful, the more we know, the more we can discern, discover and develop ideas to work together to create positive solutions. To complex problems. Using data, analytics, research, projects, programs, and partners, are all a part of the food bank council's scientific approach to creating a food secure Michigan. We are honored to be leading this work here in Michigan. But here is what we know so far. We know that we don't know enough. Yet, to solve the problem in its entirety. But what we can not do is nothing. Even if we don't know everything we need to know, our

"They're trying to figure out ways to meet people where they are and prevent very expensive clinical outcomes. But with Medicaid and really just generally with healthcare, this is prevention has never been really where it's at. I mean, we have never focused on that. And so part of what was social determinants were trying to get at is, can we address these social determinants before they become a very expensive clinical health problem? And here's the reality. People will make changes. People do make changes. Would you rather go to the hospital or to the grocery store? I mean, the bottom line is most people would rather go to the grocery store. I mean, you know, and if you can tell them, this is how you're going to manage this health thing, it's not because you're needy. It's because if you have healthy food and you utilize it, you're going to go to the grocery store instead of the hospital for a lot of years. And for some people that could be 25, 30, 40 years depending on if they have early onset diabetes or not. It is a huge life-changing thing for people if they see their food as part of their treatment plan. Totally agree. Totally agree, but you brought it up. Would you rather go to the hospital or to the grocery store? Well, maybe there's not either in their zip code. Now that's true too. So access is a huge part, and I think this is a vital role that the food bank network can play. And only the food bank network, but that's why it has to be one of dawn's favorite phrases she's taught me is cross sector collaborative partners. And I think together with the food and beverage industry all the way from all the way to retail, there's a lot of work to be done. And I think, and I think what I've seen, I've attended a few food as medicine summits and really seen the way that the industry is trying to understand its role in the way that it can improve food healthy food access. And also really be involved in what is now being referred to as nutrition security, which is very popular right now with the USDA and it's very politically popular to be thinking about not just food security, but also nutrition security, what food the quality of the food that's actually available. In particular communities. And I think that that's something that we've all corporate has a place food and beverage has a place to play in that too, and we were just talking during the break about the ways in which retail is starting to get that transportation infrastructure going such that if we can get in the same way that you can get Amazon Prime to your house at any moment, can we make sure that that can happen with healthy with healthy food, you know, once that infrastructure is in place, it should be available for everyone and it's really just about the funding mechanism to make that happen. I believe it's going to happen. I really do. I mean, grocery or smart people, they know that to serve the community that can afford to pay, they're going to have to make these changes. They're going to have to make food more accessible to people at home because people want to order it at home and they're willing to pay for it. Well, then you have someone living next door whose food insecure. How do you pick them up is part of that process is a very inexpensive way to add value, right? And so I really do believe in the grocery industry. I think it's good people who really do want to help. And I do really look forward to the next I would even say within a year we're going to see substantial capacity improvements for grocery to help and I think they want to help. So I'm eager to see that unfold. I don't have any specific announcements, but I like the direction of the conversation. Last word. What about this study? What's the last word? I think that this study and the responses from physicians have made me really optimistic about what's possible if we can just put the right mechanisms like pull the right levers to get them what they need. That there's more will to participate in social determinants work than I would have expected without this survey. And this is in Michigan. So what that says to me is that providers really want to help, but we've got to give them the structure and the support to be able to work with us on the community based organization side to really make more impact. Excellent. I'm encouraged to, I read the study and I'm very encouraged, I hark in your words.

"Listening. It's been said by about a gazillion people that knowledge is power. Presidents, politicians, and parents, and just regular people have uttered this phrase often. We use it for motivation and inspiration. As in knowledge, get some. It was denied philosopher Francis Bacon in the late 17th century who served Queen Elizabeth I, who first uttered these famous, often repeated words, knowledge is power. Using this phrase as his foundation, lord bacon developed what is now known to us as the scientific method. This method has guided and continues to impact how we acquire knowledge and use it. Whether it is a scientist or engineer at NASA calculating and planning a trip to Mars or researchers trying to help us understand everything from the finite to the infinite. The scientific method is used to help gain knowledge. Why? Because knowledge is powerful. A new study published by the center for health and research transformation at the University of Michigan reveals insights about the screening and referral of food insecure patients as a key strategy in helping people become food secure. Today, on our show, our own doctor dawn opal returns to help us understand at a greater level how the knowledge physicians have gained can help connect

Let me just go out on a limb here and say, we don't need the American president walking through the streets of Keith. I'm sorry. Because I don't understand how Russians missiles don't hit zelensky in the head when he's walking strolling around the streets of Keith. He's now telling the world that tens of thousands were killed in Mary opal. They can't get into Mario because all the bridges and the roads have been bombed out and Russia is continuing its relentless shelling. Now Putin is bringing in the notorious butcher of Syria. This monstrous general whose famous or I should say infamous for his evil tactics, they're going to go scorch earth and there are tons of people in Ukraine who are stranded.

"Food first Michigan Once again here's Dell and Jerry Welcome back everyone Thanks for being with us Right before the break and during the break actually is a good conversation about how food banks make great partners So John pick it up and give us your thoughts right there Yeah hey Jerry I absolutely couldn't agree with you more on that right So you're talking about the importance of healthcare working with food banks and understanding the relationship I mean when you talk about that to your point not long ago that wouldn't have been true I mean there's always a community partnership but not understanding the pieces But for companies that are leaning in on social determinants like mine right I mean they see the value They see the partnership They're all in on working the issues And so hopefully to your point more and more are going to lean into the space and I truly believe they will because I believe there's enough I believe the data is clearly now coming out to what people expected or you saw small pilots of and again there's lots of work that needs to be done but getting I'm going to say healthcare having working for healthcare insurance company but there's any number of relationships inside the health ecosystem that we want to continue to strengthen the relationships and I think the food banks can help lead the way with that Well there's some pretty cool stuff going on already you know in this space of addressing food first within the context of social determinants of health And I do mean this just as respectfully as I can that Jerry and his team at gleaners has certainly been the tip of the spear here for the food banks in Michigan driving this innovation how do we learn the work and the culture and the language of healthcare and how do we add value to the community and to patients and patient populations community health all of that Jerry you know I think that the food bank council has picked up some of that mantle with you and we've been carrying it and other food banks are involved in this work now but I do think that you and your team deserve a huge congratulations and appreciation for kind of getting the ball rolling Well thanks doctor I will say this you know one of the things that I can't remember how long ago I heard this but the reason we can see fire there is because we're standing on the shoulders of giants right So I certainly believe there were people that were having these ideas and starting it off and I got to stand on their shoulders and now when I look at what we've done since you've brought doctor Don opal into the food bank council and how much different she has made with her research background and her clear experience working in the field with healthcare and pantries and data and all of the issues that have to be resolved to really increase those parts of our capacity that we didn't have yet You know we keep we keep standing on each other's shoulders and so we can see farther and I think you know with the continued help of the new partnerships that we continue to develop That's just how it's gonna work right It's one thing after the next after the next and I'm proud of what my team has done to advance this but I feel like we are still soul learning from the experts we keep bringing into the fold and we keep evolving and we're innovating together and that's just really exciting Well Henry's groceries at Henry Ford health system that you guys piloted was a catalyst And now as you refer to doctor opal John knows he has quite a few conversations with dawn Because John cheers our the committee on strategic planning for the food bank council board of directors that we have a meeting this afternoon about that So then dawn has created a fresh food pharmacy inside of a federally qualified health center And you guys are Nigeria knows and John I think you're aware as well that Dominic cologne who's been a guest on this show and is the leader at the Michigan association of health plans had dawn and myself up last summer to talk about this fresh food pharmacy concept and it went over well I think we're gonna have some partnership with the Michigan association of health plans on this And then you know they didn't get enough so they invited Jerry to come this coming summer to be their keynote speaker about this topic So I just think it shows John the natural relationship between healthcare and food banks to address this scourge the social determinant of health that we call food insecurity Yeah So I absolutely agree And I mean you said you said a lot there Absolutely agree with him I've been very impressed working with Don and all the things that she's driving And I think it's perfect for a group I think she's perfect I want you when I say it which is the strategy is just trying to push for a group that is as diverse as it is right And so I mean you started that piece still and I'm talking about Jerry being able to innovate in the area He's in and if it really worked we can take it to other places and it looks great I'm excited about it I don't want to get ahead of what anything Jerry wants to talk about there But it also we can try different things in different places given the demand and given and that's what's so great about having a group like yours is that it doesn't have to be one size fits all And to me having someone like you feel having someone like Don who can help target the things that different groups might want to pull down you know great and then areas where you do find synergies across the board all the better and that will allow those improvements to get to get out there faster So I mean the whole makeup right now as I told you it was really exciting And the fact that you have more and more people with an interest in getting the message out I mean there's exactly what we need at this time and is exactly the groups you're talking about wouldn't be doing that if they weren't interested in making a meaningful difference So that's exciting Kudos to them and kudos to the effort But if now is the.

"Some have good motivations, some have bad intentions, but sometimes the people you might think are bad end up things and good things. Including some of the rat is, alternatively, some people with good intentions end up, you know, doing harm to others. There's the other issue there too, of just how do people seek justice and how do they think redress is the law serving everyone in the same ways? What is the power of these big corporations, for example, compared to the power of the individual opal miners? So there are a few of those sort of big picture questions and big picture themes. Addressed in the book, it's there if readers want to say it. But many readers, I think, we'll just want to go more with the plot elements and also the characters. I mean, I know myself as a reader. I really like getting to know characters. So hopefully that element of the book works. Those that lead in outback opal mining towns anyway have to be idiosyncratic by their very nature and because of the demands of living in such an environment. So Finland's gap is a fictional town, but it's loosely based on lightning range. I travel up the lightning range did some research got taken down a mine by a lovely evil miner. That's where I learned about writers and whatever. But this is so this is sailing the same pile of the world, which is right up out back New South Wales just under the Queensland border. And where I was up there in July, and it was sort of mid high 20s in samurai. It's bouncing into the 40s on a regular basis. I mean, yeah, you have to be very tough and motivated to live and work in a place like that. And it's easier to live underground in some of those environments. The book is treasure and dirt if the reader wants to find out how Jonas McGee died whether Ivan and nelk and solve the mystery, they may do obtain a copy, it is released by Allen and unwin and the author is Chris hammer. So Chris, thanks once again for talking with me. David such a pleasure and thank you once again for your enthusiasm. So thrillers and romantic comedy, you get it all.

"They were, I think that their complexion products were amazing, their foundations were amazing, but that wasn't sexy and they kind of reinvented themselves in Estee Lauder bought them in 2016 and they became really popular for highlighters and they did lots of collaborations with their highlighters. I think the most famous one was with the influencer Jacqueline hill and champagne pop. So that was a collaboration, a brand collaboration. And when they announced that they were closing, a lot of people, a lot of the fans were really shocked and surprised, how could this happen? But a lot of insiders kind of saw this coming because she also had been declining, could have been because of the pandemic, but it could have been because of a rush to create all of these different collaboration products. And we can unpack a lot with collaborations with cosmetic brand collaborations and how well they do. There's a lot to impact. We won't go there, but we lost Becca in 2021 and I loved opal. I don't know how I'm gonna update all of my blog posts where I recommended Becca opal that was my highlighter it wasn't as good as Tony and Tina, nothing has come close, but that was kind of the next best thing. So we said goodbye to Becca, we also said goodbye to prescriptive. Now, please, please, please. If you loved prescriptive, please send me a message. Can we just be best friends because prescriptive was my original gangster foundation? They were the very first liquid foundation that I wore and they were kind of one of the first cosmetic brands that would match you and mix your foundation right in front of your face custom to your skin tone. So they were all about color theory and they were doing this in the 90s and it was great. It was great. They were a great brand. They had a really awesome foundation brush, by the way, I have two of them. They are still holding up very well, here, like 20 years later, I don't know, 20 years later. We had to say goodbye and they just couldn't hang. The beauty industry is a rough place and I think this is something that is so interesting to me. I find the acquisition and the selling of companies and growth. I find this so interesting and fascinating. In my book, if you have a copy of my book, I even have a section about the business of makeup so that you can understand how it works so that when you go out and buy products, you can make educated decisions of, okay, this product is owned. They do their own in-house research and development. This brand was acquired by L'oreal or SD lauder or this brand was acquired by Cody or kenzo or Louis Vuitton. So anyways, when you know all of the different brand families and you know where your favorite makeup products fall in these big brand families or if they are still doing everything on their own, then you can make really educated decisions and also make educated decisions on where you want to spend your money. So it's fascinating if you don't have a copy of my book or go grab it, you can get it at my shop. You can get it on Amazon..

Oppo find x3 pro review

"Embargo for the for the find x three pro lifted this morning this is okposo latest and greatest opo and oneplus share parent company. Bb case so there will be some overlap in what we talk about We don't know a lot about the oneplus series but what we know about the finance three pro. I think will dovetail nicely into the rumors for the oneplus nine. So let's start with you. Miriam you have this phone. It's oboe is not a brand name and north america yet. But i think it's becoming a bit more ubiquitous in europe where alex is you've reviewed one pl- or oboe phones for years now and you're you're among the first people to bring kind of these. Chinese brand opal vivo. Walkway into the purview of us audiences. So when you take a look at the x three pro. What's your first impression. Is this a phone that was made for a worldwide audience or is this more a phone that was made for a chinese audience. That is them being sort of adapted for the west. I think we're at the point now. Where i wanna odd xiaomi to your last i think yeah okay. I think we're the point. Where really these global launches of these phones the me levin from shami recently of course the oppo phoenix three pro and financial three series our global phones through and through. And i think that that's very exciting to me. Now we get the short end of the stick in north america. You're in canada. I'm in the us. Because we still don't get full five g support for our weird bands. And that means that i hesitate to recommend this phone to folks live on the north american continent of this time. I haven't tested the oppo yet on five g. here i'm hoping that as qualcomm becomes more omnipresent not that it isn't already but i mean in terms of its Band support for five g. sub. Six that we get eventually to a point where even buying global phone will just work on some bands in us. Kind of like four g. Lt. foams do and in canada. So i think these phones feel like truly global phones to me. I think that the biggest challenge the biggest obstacle that existed in the pass with these two years ago three years ago. If you imported one was the software. Felt very chinese in the sense that it was. It's like it's hard to explain. But there's a certain flavor to chinese phones if you've ever used one that doesn't have google services on it and that's changed radically. I think caller west which is what apple runs which is an on top of android is even closer now to oxygen. Which is what one plus has which makes sense. Bbq groups same company but in the past. That wasn't always the case. And i think xiaomi's done a very good job as well as an improving it appears to be more you know more universal to the global markets to customers in different countries. So i really have no qualms with this phone i think. It's it's a solid all-round flagship. It brings to the table some things we've never seen before and it on top of that. You know short of the five g support from north. America is a truly global phone so alex. You're the only person among the four of us that uses this phone. Where in the markets intended give us your overview of how fits into the uk european market. And what your first impressions are so whether fit into the market. Whether hoping to the mock i think is in the gap. The is currently in the process of being vacated by wa so there is a a room for another major player in europe and the uk. And i think that's that's where they plan to slow us into already seeing that taking advantage of always current challenges in china whether the now the the number one manufacturer but yeah i think in terms of just the quality the phone. It's it builds on what we saw in the next two pro in little ways last year But the my money this is a little bit of a one. Step forward one step back. Sort of a situation They're all the things. I really enjoyed about the findings to pro- And it it just seemed to have every angle sort of covered in terms of photography and a big part of that is super zoom telephoto in it. Yeah oddly something that a lot of brands of moving away from this year with the exception of while way sometime maybe xiaomi That's something i really miss. Unfor- photography scented phone that seems like a big emission. Especially when you have this weird microscope thing which is fun to play around with but is not going to have anywhere near the practical value In terms like dealer photography assume would get you So that's one sort of disappointments. That i have with it Made worse by the fact that. I'm not a massive found. The microscope The other side air you. i know this is. This is a one. A one point of conflicts on this phone denialism massive out of the microscope. But just before we get to that. The other thing is Find extra prolapsed yet no wireless charging is kind of becoming a table. Stakes feature ever since apple introduced is Now we finally have that but the battery life is just null. Great unstaffed That's the problem right When you getting in the region of twelve to thirteen hours In its its fooling over after about three and a half hours screen on you know especially for me coming from pixel five and show. I've been spoiled a little bit by that phone but Yeah it's haunted. Described the boundary line for this thing is anything but just a big disappointment for me. I would agree with that in the week or so that i've used it especially coming from the galaxy s twenty one pixel five. This is a big battery. that just doesn't perform like a big battery but were still a month out from launch and miriam. I know you haven't spent a ton of time with it but what's your impression of. I wanna come back to the camera. Because i think the the cameras a sort of a question mark for me. Every time i've spoken to one. Plus they give me different answers for why they made the decisions they did around the load out but the phone. Form factor right. They made a big deal about this single piece of glass on the back and how they machine did and you know burned it in killing at seven hundred degrees and puts a magic spell on it to keep its shape and all that. What's your impression of the form of this device. It's really interesting. And i think it's something that a lot of people it's pretty arresting to somebody who's looking at it from the back for the first time. Yeah i love the design. I think it's really unique. A middle worried that you know. It's like form over function in some way. Because i mean at this price point. What's the price anyway. Do we know eleven hundred pounds or twelve hundred years this price. That's fine but i like so gonna be a thousand like it's about the same as the next to last year pros last year. But he's a little bit cheaper but yeah that over thousand dollar price point. I'm okay with the crazy. You know wizards type approach to making the thing with thousands of hours of manufacturing time. Whatever it might be. I think it looks really cool. I've got the kind of grayish color. One agree dark rate lack. I don't know what color that is. But it's looking at a mirror. The whole thing is one piece. It's very cool. My my thing is that i'm really happy. They added wireless charging. That was the thing that i wanted to make a final to pro my daily driver austere and it up with of course oneplus eight pro which is count like again you know the oneplus nine pro is going to be a dead ringer of this phone. So no surprise there like in many ways so the reason i couldn't do it because what trudging was missing. Now that's been remedied by battery life. I haven't tested yet. So i don't know but it might be a result of trying to run everything at one twenty hertz and quad hd. I feel that. If i have to compromise somewhere it's resolution usually my eight pro oneplus a prior run at ten eighty p right and probably run the oneplus nine pro and switched to it at ten pm. Pretty convinced. i'm going to switch to it so wait you're of all the phones that you've used including the galaxy s twenty one. You're still using the eight pro. Is your daily driver. Oh yeah no. Don't i don't want to switch to off and i have so many ops to reinstall and set up a one once a year thing and i have to pick wisely right last year. I decided that i was going to wait. For the pixel five and so i hung hoed with the pixel forty or whatever four acceler my pocket for a while and then i realized that the pixel five was giving giving me what i want and the four or five g was actually the better form but didn't have wireless charging in my opinion so then i went said. I need to make a decision. So i went eight pro and the reason for that is i want i want wanna pixel essentially but i wanna flagship right. So what's the closest you can get to that. You can't get a flagship from google anymore. Anyway i digress but back to the quickey unfortunately have just to go as soon but i feel that for me. What surprised me. The most is the telephone okay. I couldn't get numbers on this. Is it three x two x two x optical and switch to x optical with five x figs. Zoom whatever hybrid. That's hybrid probably looks okay at five x hybrid but probably know better than one hundred eight megapixel. That's trying to do five x kinda like the eleven right. Yeah these over the past It's just fine. I is is fine of five but go beyond five. It's a bit yeah. We had a paris copa. Like five x right. That was different from the oneplus. Eight pro which only had like three x telephoto. So i think the teleph- the the lack of the telephoto disappearing from almost everyone's phones except for you know an iphone doesn't really count because there's only two axe to me. Anything that's to excellence doesn't count. It has to be three more. And ideally it needs to have two of them like the s twenty one ultra or the. We p forty pro plus. Which was my darling camera phone last year. Despite the lack of gm's so you see. That's the reason. Part of the reason daniel that i went with the pro because i knew that if i needed a better camera just pull out a weiwei. P forty plus and carry that with me right and so so then. I guess the party question that i would ask is what would it take for the financial three pro to be your daily driver over the nine. The oneplus nine pro. Because they are so similar to things. And i want that i feel. Actually this might take away from this. Phone is that oppo is holding back for an ultra version. Yes that was my conspiracy theories. Well i feel like we're like because everybody's doing more than a pro. Now i feel that apple is exploring that ultra premium end. And he's gonna come out with a special edition of this phone. That will have a proper periscope telephoto. But what would make me switch would be more see right now. Could live with a two x telephoto. If it's any good. I don't know off to try it but i think for me. It's five g support simply. Because i'm on t. mobile in the us and it's actually beneficial in terms of network coverage for me it's not really beneficial terms of speed by re does give me slightly better performance in some fringe situations and that would be my big. My big request bought the other thing. That i'm interested intrigued. Bob because i haven't really had chance to tessies. Cameras yet. Is their choice of using the two identical fifty megapixel. I am seven six six sensors on the ultrawide and the main to get perfect color. Matching 'cause how's that worked out for you guys so interesting thing. That is the you in theory. That is what happens. But then you have the ai thing that's turned on. Which can you run. I'm not sure by default but if you use it You know it's very useful things in some situations but if you use it then you can get radically different looking switching between the two lenses if you don't have the tent on yet is obviously much closer as a parting thought. I have a feeling that while last year's apple finds pro would have been my choice for that time period of the year that first half of the year until the no twenty ultra came out.

F- i don't know all of the details yet but that hassle partnership has me intrigued and more importantly i know it's going to support all the bands properly in the us. And it's going to have wireless charging which i need and it's going to be a slightly smaller phone. I think this year which. I'm very happy about because the eight cross a freaking monster of a beast. It's too big for me over there. So i think the x three profiles held back to me somehow.

Don't expect a call in the presidential race anytime soon as Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin process votes

"Election is hanging in the balance, with the outcome dependent on a handful of battleground states, where the results may not be known for days. President Trump has just said that as far as he is concerned, he has won the vote on any attempts to frustrate that victory would be taken to the Supreme Court. He presented no evidence for his claim. This is a major fraud in our nation. We want The law to be used in a proper manner. So we'll be going to the U. S. Supreme Court. We want to all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballot, said Four o'clock in the morning and add them to the list. OK, it's It's a very sad It's a very sad moment. To me. This is a very sad moment and We will win this and a CE. Far as I'm concerned. We already have. Mr. Trump hailed his victories in Florida, Ohio and Texas as triumphs and predicted further success in Georgia and North Carolina. He also hinted Pennsylvania would fall to him. Mr Trump's challenger, Joe Biden could still take Arizona on crucial states such as Wisconsin and Michigan in the Midwest. Speaking to supporters, Mr Biden said he still believed he was on track to win the election wouldn't be over until every vote had been counted. You know, we could know the results as early as tomorrow morning, but it may take a little longer. As I've said all along. It's not my place or Donald Trump's place to declare who's won this election. That's the decision of the American people, But I'm optimistic about this outcome. Of the election Now on a knife edge, John. So Opal reports from the White House. America seems to be heading towards a nightmare scenario where, after a divisive campaign, it could still be days or weeks before the country knows who's won its presidential election. A blue wave that Democrats had hoped for failed to materialize. And it all looks on a knife edge. All seems to hinge on the old rust belt states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

VW Beetle Part III: From Hitler to Hippies

"Back to the epic conclusion of our three part series on the Volkswagen Beetle. It's been dark road the F. Are you guys a lot of really messed up stuff? But there's a lot of peace in love in the future. Yea here that this episode is about peace and love so I'm looking forward to. We're going to get there. Hey guys welcome to the. Pass Gas podcast. You like passed gas. Please help us grow by giving us a good rating and a nicer view on the podcast platform of your choice to really help us out. I really appreciate it. Thank you all right now for the show. When we last left off the Volkswagen Wolfsburg factory originally meant to Make Carson. People WAS BUILDING WEAPONS OF WAR INSTEAD. Wolfsburg was targeted by the allies and nearly destroyed but the war ended. Hitler was dead. It was time yeah. It was time for the Volkswagen to live up to. Its name is name was the people's car Ooh bye-bye now that the war was over. Germany was faced with the massive task of reconstructing a shattered country including resupplying. The transportation needs for the people after the war. Germany was divided into multiple zones. The British American Soviet and French sectors Wolfsburg was situated within the British sector and the factory was still under the British pocket book in the years after the war it was also under constant threat of being shut down but once the British and American sectors merged it became apparent that British Army Engineer Major Ivan. Hirst would be able to secure the necessary funding to keep the factory afloat. The country would once again be allowed to participate within the global free market in nineteen forty seven. Obviously these policies had a direct impact on the Volkswagen factory British officials representing the VW plant had continued to push further permission to export during all of these changes every single one of their requests export though had been denied but now the Germany was allowed to enter the market the VW plant was finally viewed as a way to ease the British expenses and in March of nineteen forty seven. The factory quotas were raised. The People's car would be allowed to be exported outside of Germany but only to the Netherlands Belgium and France. The first official export of the car occurred in August that same year? A massive total of five cars were exported and the process was a difficult. One selling quote. Hitler'S CARS TO COUNTRY. Hitler try to Concord. Seemed kind of absurd but it wasn't Hitler's car anymore. So anything can happen. I think they should should stop calling Hitler's car if they want to sell it. Probably not the best marketing hooked. This is a great car. This was Hitler's car. It was obvious that British Army Engineer Major Ivan. Hirst couldn't run the plant forever. He was a military man and while he loved his position at the plant he had a larger job that took priority but each time they tried to take her out of the factory chaos ensued. He ran a tight ship soon enough. The search for a replacement began but for the volatile plant to return to German hands. It needed someone who had expertise when it came to running a major factory. Former Opel head Heinrich Nordhoff. Remember him from the last episode mentioned him he had been barred from working in the American business sector since he had been given an award from the Nazis. A FEW YEARS PRIOR ON K. Not a good look opal was controlled by GM. And Mr Nordhoff was forced out of his job. Due to America's quote no nonsense policy on Nazi involvement after the war you know other than hiring Nazi scientists to develop bombs and stuff. Yeah and like the entire space program. Yeah let's not talk about. Yeah that's true Operation Paper Clip. Look it up. When it came to looking for a factory manager Nordhoff. He might sense. He was experienced in managing factories and since the VW plant was under British control. He was actually allowed to work there on January. First of nineteen forty eight Heinrich took up position as managing director of the Volkswagen. Plant by recommendation of major hearst upon his arrival to Wolfsburg Nordhoff noted that the factory still looked exactly like it did during the war. It was basically a pile of ruins that could somehow produce cars so he knew he had a lot of work to do. So we got the work while he was meant to report to hearst with each action the roles were kind of reversed. It was obvious that Nord off was the expert and no one complained. Once you took control. The first thing Nordhoff did was replaced all the English signs back to German ones. Oh that's the bathroom is been peeing in jars from meanwhile nineteen forty. Seven was a terrible year for Ferdinand. Porsche he had been moved from his original prison to the Dank Dungeons in dijon into John. That sounds like your APP album named Dude Dank dungeons dungeons. That's pretty good good anyway remember. He had been arrested by the French. Police For colluding with Hitler Hitler. Yeah that guy so at this prison in the in Dijon. They were not even given beds all around him other men involved in the war. We're being sentenced to death in the Nuremberg trials. So at least Porsche was better off than that. After twenty two months Porsche and his family were released from the French prisons and declared not guilty of their crimes as the French government only tried him regarding the forced labor of French prisoners The Porsche Corporation to this day still denies the use of forced labour in their factory. At the time just it's better just to come clean about it. You know. Yeah Yeah I mean there's no way right. There's no way that they didn't. I don't know the rest of his record was sort of six months after his arrival to the Volkswagen Factory Heinrich Nordhoff was still sleeping on the factory. Floor on a flimsy. Kat issues plagued the factory especially the lack of housing but most importantly there wasn't really a local market for the cars. Germany was still dirt poor. And those who have the money to buy car tended to steer clear of the word. Volkswagen makes sense also. The factory was amazingly inefficient. It took workers in a reported three hundred hours to build a single car so nordhoff had to reshuffle the factory line in order to imitate the successful style of the lines in Detroit. Normally that Nordhoff expertise allowed him to play with the budget. A little bit. Nineteen forty-nine was the first year the factory was given a firm quota of forty thousand cars and nord-ost reshuffling allowed the cars to be produced over two hundred dollars under budget nor off also rebuilt the factory. He figured out that having bombed out walls and ceilings. Kinda hurt company around. Yeah I remember when our office got blown up. That was really tough to come to work every day. Yes like where do I plug my charger in? Yeah there's no wall. Where am I snack? All my snacks. So Heinrich had the place tidied up a little bit. Most importantly he completely changed the entire decision making power structure of the factory. Using a general manager who controlled multiple departments head on and so on while that's super commonplace. Now this was revolutionary at this time in German history but ultimately the company was still controlled by the British government and while they remain about as far out of the picture as they could heinrich still had to answer to them in the end.

Fiat Chrysler finds new merger partner in Carlos Tavares

"French carmaker. PSA which owns Pirjo and Fiat Chrysler. Automobiles it's Italian American rival have agreed to pursue a merger that would create the world's fourth largest carmaker and reshape the ultimate of sector. I'm here with a motor industry correspondent Peter Campbell. And we're joined down the line by David Kayhan in Paris to discuss the merger. Hi Guys Peter Tell us first why these super super mergers have been considered at the moment. What's the rationale behind them earn? What's the most notable recent mergers in the sector so call makers of facing stresses from a lot of a different direction at the moment? They're facing falling sales in the facing the need to invest in some quite expensive new technologies electric cars. They need to sell to the C O talks across Europe and China as well as driverless vehicles and other such technologies that looking at now. What are these things cost money? And it makes very little sense for all of the world's carmakers call makers independently to spend the billions and billions that they need to develop this technology. It's much more sensible for them to tie up. A great proponent of this theory was Sergio Marconi the late former chief executive of fit cruiser who oversaw the merger between Fiat and Chrysler itself. WHO said the comic is need to tie up in order to avoid duplication teaching the list massive spending that they have to make? It's just too much cash. They need to splash right. So what are the relative strengths of the Fiat group. Compared to pressure so both companies are incredibly complementary geographically Peugeot exists almost entirely in Europe asam stuff outside Europe. But it's very very strong strong in Europe. Fat Chrysler despite being called fat is in fact predominantly in North America organization. Almost all of its profits. Come from selling pick-up trucks and very large. SUV's in the North North American region. It owns the ram heavy truck brand it ends jeep globally Lens Africa and Maserati and so for these companies they complement each other geographically and and what PSA has shown with its takeover of Opal which owns Fox hole in the last few years is that this is a company that can manage scale in European mass mass manufacturing so it already owns a number of volume brands in Europe. It audience Persian and sit. Trinidad's open phones Vauxhall. You would add to that fat if this merger went ahead head. And they've already showed that they can make these efficiencies of scale work within a single region within Europe which would be an advantage but PSA really although it's had an incredible Rana that's very profitable. Its growth is sort of come to an end really needs to try and push into North America which has plans to do unto its own steam and it really needs a serious premium. AM nameplate a merger with fair crews which is very strong in North America and has offer may a massive rati and jeep brings that I say so David John Elkin. WHO's the one of Italy's Agnelli families? The Italian billionaire behind axle which controls Fiat Chrysler and also the brains behind the proposed merger but his his attempt to do a similar deal with Renault early. This year failed at this plenty of examples of failure here. What happened there? Why did I go wrong? Defensive Him you ask really. FCA In parallel talks with Reynaud and Persia for quite a while but particularly since the start of the year. What people have told us that the whole time? They're in these as talks. They actually wanted runner. That was number one target. But I didn't know that so Iran may the news was given to the profoundly particular and generally that they were going to go over a nice over a good the only problem from. Sei's point of view. Is that across the table from the Reynolds argest shareholder was the French state. You might know that Renos found itself in a particular situation with its Japanese partner Nissan. And what the French state said was at Notre for the merger to go ahead. They wanted the explicit it consent agreement approval of Japan. They walked away. It was like ten days. The whole thing collapsed. It was a drama France. Tickets blamed by some sides if you took the French state on background they say maybe the deal wasn't as good for Renos. It could have been directing normal shareholder but either way John alcon sure. The French date didn't like what it was doing walked away dramatically and that leads us to PSA so would perjures Kosta virus preach batter partner. Do you think it depends. I mean I would cautiously say yes. Tavarez is a big personality big. Co elkhound is buying in is a guy who's not. It's going to take a backseat in any way he's going to be a CEO in charge driving strategy and Alcon will be classic chairman. You'd imagine it's kind of return to demark relationship. He had before maybe it was something. We didn't think he was totally on board. With an part of the reason he went Reynaud but where the project is definitely at nicer fit for FCA. Is that the French state is far less hands on this company. It has a shareholding but in Reynaud you could say that the French state is more like a family company shareholders. Huge emotional ties. It's the largest shareholder as well in Persia. It's a much more traditional shareholder it doesn't lockinge stakes. It's the joints are shareholder shareholder with both the Persian family and China's Dongfang. So you can see why it might be a better partner. Yes so notice. That are lex pages. Describe cried Mr Tavarez's quadri-lingual what kind of big personality is he. What kind of figure does he cut in the car? Industry globally so taveras is renowned and as one of the most capable executives across the automotive industry. If you look at his track record is performance. He came into Persia when they will almost bankrupt. He oversaw sore huge turnaround at the company then bought Opel. This was a company that General Motors couldn't make money out of twenty years. They turned that around in very short order and yet at the same time he doesn't have the gigantic room. Filling ego of some of the other executives in the auto industry would be more akin to traveling head of state when they it went overseas. Savar as who is a cost cutter to the core when he comes to the UK to visit the Vauxhall plant at Luton flies into Luton on EasyJet buys is is sandwiches in the corner shop before getting in a taxi to go over to the plant in his better than eight. Uneasy gentleman with US possibly explanation. But it's also true that he really has a way a of identifying with the ground level workforce as well as the executives and saying guys. You are the team here is up to you to deliver this turnaround plan has to go ahead. And he's been quite good actually particularly in the Opel turnaround of avoiding plant closures. No everybody thought when he bought Opel there we're going to have to shut factories and he said we're going to do this plan without shutting factories and they brought he managed that and what we expect from the FCA deal if it goes ahead. Is that going to make a commitment not to close any of either. I accompanies plants as a result of the turnaround as a result of trying to make savings here and so two Varas is seen. At least at the highest levels of most capable automative executives that gives at the moment and by some people is ranked the best glibly anywhere interesting David. How's he viewed inside of corporate France? If you like with a problem we have a terrorist journalist. This is not enough that stuff to say about him. It's genuine issue now. He's considered in France and piracy to be one of the best. I mean one of the reasons. The French government are supporting. This is because Tabarez is there. He's seen as being a safe pair of hands he sees having done a really great trainer ended Persia and he's seen as someone that they can trust in putting together this merger that's right but he has this cultural index territory. The allows him to associate with work in different countries so when he bought Opel everyone was naturally worried Opel. They were about to get fired but he walks into the headquarters Opel in Germany. All the stuff of April assembled there and his opening lines to the Marin German now he doesn't speak German but he'd learned some opening lines in German and was greeted with a big round of applause but also with the sense in the room that this was a guy who was on their side. It makes a big difference right okay. Personalities a site. Let's let's talk about some of the numbers here. What are the terms of the proposed? David I mean where would the merge creeped based for start. Well that's a very good question when that we don't really know the answer to yet. The idea is multiple As it stands but just very quickly so it's a fifty fifty all stock merger and there's going to be a special dividends and payouts. Either side equalized equalized values but analysts are suggesting that this looks like PSA buying FCA and part of the reason you can say that is the construction of the board Komo correct. He has eleven people five each plus Tavarez so the governance is tilted towards Paris. We will be watching to see where the operation headquarters is really eighty based where Tavarez sits even if I think Peter you might jump in here as well. FCA They're used to bring multiple countries in a way that maybe we'll create tensions. Well this brings us very nicely into the cultures of both companies to. FCA was a company that was borne out of this merger between Fiat and Chrysler and as such as a headquarters in London but but a major office insurance and a major office in Auburn Hills. Chrysler is based and whereas many car companies are deeply rooted in the national culture. These guys genuinely feel we'll multinational and they genuinely feel more global and they've actually culturally made a merger work which historically the consciousness quite difficult to do right. We saw DaimlerChrysler the fall apart we saw Ford Not Really Gel with any of the premium brands. It owned Volvo Janke Arrest Martin etc and at the same time you've got. PSA which also is culturally in quite an international fit because it has a British Brandon Vauxhall at has a German Brandon Opel and again it's made an automotive merger work in recent history and so one of the biggest barriers to auto mergers is cultural and it always is and it's the factions between different rival governments wanting a place at the table and to the fact that you've got to companies that are sort little mood globally cultural and have recently made big complex multi-country images work does bode quite well for these. Two companies being able to culturally fit together. which is a huge hurdle and obviously not a financial one but a key one that really needs to be overcome for any automotive motor to work now to think that assuming this goes through? Do you think there will be cost-cutting. This time we've spoken about how Mr Tavarez avoided this in the past but do we think an ax will fall this time around. They've talked about Oh savings of three point seven billion euros which they go to try and realize eighty percent of those within the first couple of years of the deal going through now. They haven't broken out exactly where that comes from. They've said it's not going to be plant closures if you look at. PSA during open takeover they managed to save a lot of money by shortening labor hours thousand doing various things around the way they utilize space in the factory floor but a big chunk of savings in a big rationale for the deal in the whole is as we said at the start to avoid duplicating investment it costs so it'll be avoid. Investment cost into electrification and avoided investment costs not just intellectuals -cation autonomy but also inter individual platforms so you built a car on. They'll merge those together they'll get huge potential savings and of purchasing components together all kinds of classic industrial merger synergies. I mean David. Is that message sticking in France. I don't think this merger would have been given the green light or been greeted with such political approval as it has been so far if it hadn't been for guarantees. He's about jobs and I think that's true in Italy as well. I don't think they're going to be closing plants. I just don't think it's politically tenable as Peter says for. They're going to be. Finding the savings is in our D adoption. Those kind of things. So if you're a betting man do you think the magic. We'll go ahead and if it is who then are the biggest rivals to the merged group. Rule the move music safaris overwhelmingly positive. The fact the French government seemed to be behaving better than they did last time older. That's not a terribly high bar bodes well for the whole thing going through now. What we're expecting expecting is it? Within the next sort of two three four weeks we'll get a memorandum of understanding between the two companies that will set out potentially more details about synergies potentially more details about management structure and various other things. Maybe even headquarters details then. Obviously the whole thing has to go to show. Does it both companies who have to approve them is quite difficult to to see them derailing that and then obviously it has to go through various other regulatory huddles. They also have to deal with antitrust issues so this will be the largest carmaker in Europe. It could be bigger than Volkswagen that market share in some countries such as constantly will be very high so they may have issues with that but no one seriously thinks that's going to derail l. the deal so assuming everything goes smoothly you could see it close within say nine months potentially two year. There's always a bit of leeway with these things either side and then obviously they will be the fourth largest in the world behind reminisce. And if you're treating those companies is one that's the whole other but also Volkswagen Toyota and on readiness and those three make ten million cars a year.
