How Pinole Is Thinking Outside the Box for Economic Development
"I do a lot of economic development consulting, helping a number of cities, a number of business improvement districts grow, and a lot of the conversation around business attraction is, how do we help a city sort of make the permit process easier? It's still got to be there, you still got to conform to certain regulations, but I'll give you an example. Last week in the paper, Vacaville attracted a new science business, and their city manager was in the paper and said, we will have everything permanent and approved within 90 days, and we will bring in the utilities and the water and the sewer to help them start their process. Knowing that PG &E and I forget which is their sewer company, they can't move that fast as 90 days, but at least starting the conversation and getting the city's approval done. And I was like, that's why they're landing the larger life science company that's going to deploy 10 ,000 people. So I'm a big advocate for embracing new technology, embracing that change. And another thought that I had on what you said, I was talking to a community development director in a mid -sized city along 880 yesterday, and he said, there's a lot of people in their town that distrust government, but they have some entrepreneurs who have great ideas, some small business owners that could expand and could benefit. And we talked a lot about how to outreach to them. And I said, you got to go to who do they trust? They do trust somebody unless they're a hermit. It might be at their church. It might be, you know, which might be in Chinese or Vietnamese or in Spanish, as well as in English. It's getting in front of who do they trust and using them as a middle partner to provide those resources. And that's not easy for government to do, especially at a time when a lot of cities are short -staffed. I like that you're at least thinking about that in panel on both of those issues, fast -tracking permits or automating systems, as well as doing that community outreach to a diverse town. Well, we're thinking about that, we being the councils that I've served on since 2018, a bit with a bit more attention to that, given that we may come from different backgrounds, not necessarily economic development ourselves. And so we rely, at least I know that I rely on the expertise of the staff, as few of them as there may be, who are there full time to bring to us as council members the current best practices, if you will, or within the trends in economic development relative to cities our size. And not only as they exist here in the Bay Area, but throughout the country, throughout the world, you know, we're not unique necessarily. We'd like to believe in some regards we are, but we're not unique when it comes to environmental issues, psychosocial issues, political issues necessarily. And so borrowing from the good lessons learned from others and doing as best as we can, given our circumstances is one approach. And also even admitting to, and I was having this conversation with someone recently, admitting to the fact that some approaches have not worked and revisiting those and being willing to do that and to discuss the possibility of seeing something in a different light. You know, getting back to the size that we are and how we're a relatively small city with the population that covers around 19 ,000 and with population increases in the next 10 years or so, not being regarded as high. And then after that, really just on a moderate level compared to other parts of the East Bay and our neighbors, San Francisco, is that we have been pretty much built out. So the constraint then is also what available land space we have. And in my opinion, my interest is absolutely necessary to balance what gets developed, whether it's commercial or housing development, with the natural amenities that exist. And it gets back to what is quality of life. And there may be different perspectives about that, but overall, and I think since we have experienced the pandemic, we have generally gotten a greater appreciation for the importance of having available to anyone. And that means public space, not private areas, but public space where families and anyone, the bodies of babies, can access and enjoy. We're fortunate that East Bay Park District is a neighbor to us and a partner to us in maintaining those open spaces. And we can avail ourselves of those and can know their number of walking trails. And I'm pleased and so happy to know that we have a creek, a watershed, that traverses the town for about 10 miles. So it's beyond the land, the land size of Pinellas, about five miles. And that creek gives character, as well as life, to the town.
Spider-Dan And The Secret Bores
A highlight from Sorcerer (1977) W/ @IAmJACSMusings
"In 1971, William Friedkin directed The French Connection. It received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture of the Year. In 1974, he directed The Exorcist. It made history. Since then, Friedkin has spent over two years in five countries on three continents, creating his latest film, An Unusual Adventure into the Realm of Suspense. Four men, condemned by their past, robbed of their future, trapped in a life that was also a death. Four men take an incredible chance, face an impossible challenge, and risk the only thing they have left to lose. Roy Scheider, in a new film by William Friedkin. Sorcerer, Rated PG, Parental Guidance Suggested. I am from beyond. Listen, and all you desire will be yours. Welcome to Spider -Man and the Secret Wars. Prepare for battle. I'm saying, hey, it's not going to happen. I don't have any performances. The script doesn't make sense. I have no ending. I'm like a voice crying out, saying, please, it's not working. Somebody get me off this. And nobody listens to me. Everyone says, yes, well, Francis works best in a crisis. I'm saying this is one crisis I'm not going to pull myself out of. I'm making a bad movie, so why should I go ahead? I'd rather I'm going to be bankrupt anyway. Welcome to Brattleworld. I'm your host, the ever -amazing, ever -spectacular Spider -Dan. And in this podcast, I spotlight entertainment's best -kept secrets that a mainstream audience may find boring. And welcome to Backstage Past, where we explore the detailed history of entertainment's most troubled productions. And this is a very special podcast. You could say magical. Ooh, we are working some magic. So for the first time in the flesh, I have I Am Jack's Musings in the Secret Wars headquarters face to face. I can smell him. I can smell that handsome musk he has. I was about to say that indicates negativity. No, no, it's handsome musk. It's a good smell. It's raw, it's manly, it's masculine, much like this film that we're going to be talking about today. But luckily, he's come, he's been through his own trauma today, his own physical strain. He's fought fate.

Filing for a Sleep Divorce: How Separate Beds Saved Us
"I'll just tell you a little story, like how our sleep divorce started with Ryan and I when we lived in Chicago, there were two bedrooms, but one was his office and the other one was, you know, our shared room. And I think we had a queen bed and, you know, my husband's six, six I'm darn near six foot, five 11 and a half. So we're two larger people. And to be in a bed together was, you know, I don't want to say clunky, but like somebody's foot is always touching somebody. Somebody rolling over is jiggling the mattress and potentially waking up the other person. My husband could sleep through a tornado. He's literally slept through the house alarm going off before. Whereas I, I hear the slightest little thing and I jump up and maybe this is just from being a mom and like actively listening, I think, as we sleep for a kid to cry or something to happen. So, and it was made even worse when we had the monitor, right? Like later on in life, when we had children, the monitor would wake us up. But even when we first started living and then when we were first married, I was really getting crap sleep. And I think he was too, because, you know, he doesn't like being like elbowed or nudged or told to roll over a million times. You know, his shoulder would always fall asleep. You can only lay on your side for so long before your body wants you to turn over. So we both traveled for work. And what we were finding was that when we were alone in a hotel room we were getting great sleep, even with people like walking down the hall or door slamming at 5 .00 AM because you know, another guest is departing. And so we got into this routine of having these separate spaces. And then when we found ourselves together on the weekends or some random weekday nights, that was when it really all kind of went downhill as far as sleep was concerned. And let me just address something like out of the gate. I think a lot of people worry that the intimacy or your sex life may take a nose dive. If you don't I hear you, this is a common fear. And I've even been interviewed on podcasts before where they said, well, you have kids so clearly you have sex. So, and I was kind of dumbfounded by that because yeah, of course. But I don't know about you when I like, you know, put in my night guard and I put my zip cream on and I tie my hair up in a bun with hair oil and I crawl into bed. That's not sexy time. Anyway, like I'm exhausted. The last thing I want somebody to do is touch me and everybody else is different about the time of the day or when they feel the most like being intimate. But for me and Brian, that was never the time anyway. So that wasn't something that I was worried about losing. And we were cuddling on the couch before, like there were other places that we could touch each other and, you know, in a very PG way, but like that it wasn't just in the bed of like his leg, you know, coming over on mine or something like that. We did that on the couch. Like we lived in Chicago. We didn't have a lot of space. We had one couch. So guess what, you know, like he would sit up and I would lay down and put my legs over him. And we were constantly touching. So I don't think we were missing that at night. At night, we just really needed to sleep. And so when our kids were born, you know, we kind of like, we were married for six years before we had our first child. And throughout that time we did, we just stayed in the room, same even though we had moved to the burbs and had this room, this house with like five different bedrooms, we were still saying in the same bedroom, because I think we were both a little bit afraid to officially like have him move to another room because we didn't want people to come over and be like, why is this stuff in the guest room? You know, we didn't want to scare anybody. And frankly, if I'm being honest, I didn't want to scare myself because there's just so many outspoken people saying, you know, this is what a marriage look like, looks like. And if one thing that I think we've really become progressive on is like, what does the marriage look like? What does it entail? And I think everybody's being so much more open -minded about like, Hey, just do whatever works for you. Like I don't give a shit what's going on in your bedroom. If you want to sleep in separate beds, great. Um, do it. I don't care. So I think that this is why this study has come out that one in three people have opted for a sleep divorce and guess what, guess who's doing it millennials. And I am an elder millennial. I barely, you know, qualify, but I do think that there's more open -minded like people out there that are getting into serious relationships and they're evaluating what they need for themselves. And then we're starting to see this, like, you know, this divorce, if you will, this sleep divorce.

Podcasters Beware: How Limiting Your Audience Can Kill Your Show
"So let me ask you how you avoid limiting your audience. One of the things I appreciate about both Buckeye talk and orange and brown talk and you and shahan do it as well. I don't have to worry if my 9 year old grandson is in the car. You guys are PG-13 at worst. You don't go into our, you shut it off. You will not do it. A lot of podcasters make an initial error. They limit their audience by using vulgarity, profanity or talking about adult topics when they need to be. Do you do that consciously? Is that a conscious decision or is that just your dad? Yeah, it's probably somewhere between conscious and not so conscious that some of the things that I do here on podcasts. Sometimes I hear it, I think, wow, that is hot. I am surprised that they went there without more of a, hey, by the way. But to your point to you, and through the textures we hear this, I know there are kids listening with their parents on the way to school, and I would never want to prevent them from listening or cause an awkward moment between mom and dad and the kid because of something we said. So we make dumb dad jokes, but we do, I think consciously, we do consciously not say not use words and not say things that we want a kid to hear because kids like sports. I mean, if this, if I was 8, you know, back when I was 8 in 1981, if I could have hopped on my bike and had something, I guess you shouldn't wear your blood while you're riding your bike. If I would have been in the car with my parents and listened to a podcast that's all about my favorite sports team, I would have wanted to be part of that conversation and not have my parents say you can't listen to this because they're saying naughty stuff.

No More Corporate Rule in Florida!
"No corporations should be running their own world. They all have free speech rights, and I am a big believer in citizens united. And Disney can strike back if they want at the governor. I'm pretty sure bob Iger is too smart to do that. And I'm pretty sure, Budweiser and Disney did not intend to be in the middle of political debates, which served neither company, nor was it obligatory to do so, and the phrase screw around and find out that's the PG version is what both of them are finding out. Budweiser in a world of hurt. But let's begin with the opening of the governor's press conference if we can cut number 22 governor Ron DeSantis yesterday on Disney. Now here is an example of something we didn't necessarily think we would be needing to do, but it's something that we have to do. We have a government of laws that said, not a government of men, and that includes the law being superior to big corporations, even corporations, as big and powerful as Walt Disney Company. They are not superior to the laws that are enacted by the people of the state of Florida. And if you remember 2022, we had a special session of the Florida legislature, senator commissioner Simpson was the Senate president at the time, some of these members were there, where we said, you know, this idea of one corporation having its own government in Central Florida is something that is no longer in the best interest of the state of Florida. So we put down the marker that we were going to be going in a different direction. And a lot of people didn't think that would be anything that would even be possible given how much heft and how much power that this one company had withstood. And so my mantra was, you're not going to have Disney have its own government in Central Florida. They're going to live under the same laws as everybody else. Pay their fair share of taxes and honor the debts that they've accumulated over these years. And so we then had to, as we are getting into this calendar year, put the finishing touches on, okay, what does that look like? How do you bring that vision into a reality? And there were certain things you could have done. I mean, for example, could have just said, you know, just dissolve the district and let the local governments take it. The problem with that is like the local government here in Orange County was very clear. If they had to assume the bonds, they were going to raise people's taxes. And that was totally unacceptable. We were not going to make people in Central Florida pay taxes for Disney's debts.

I mean, the only answer is probably for me. Skydive at least once. And then just, I mean, I know this sounds so corny, but you just got to spend time with people that you love.

'The Laptop From Hell' Author Miranda Devine on the Handling of the Hunter Biden Story
"Welcome back to America first one on one with Miranda divine. Miranda, what the book is now, everybody has to get laptop from hell. Let's start with not what you found out and what's on the laptop from hell. As a journalist, let's start with the media's handling of it. The even the amazing cover of the book, Eric, if you could bring the cover up again, even the cover of the book is from a photograph from Hunter Biden's collection of his not exactly PG rated material that if you posted these photographs during the campaign, you were censored Twitter, Facebook would delete or block your account because of your use of these photographs, which in no way shape or form were stolen or doctored. So talk to us as a media professional about the way the Hunter Biden story has been handled by the legacy media and also from the subtext of your book's title, social media's significant handling of the story. Thanks. Sebastian, that photograph on the cover is actually a hunter to selfie taken on one of his benders in Vegas lying in bed at the palms casino, and one of his numerous visits to debauchery. And look, it was incredible. I guess I wasn't surprised at the hostility to our reporting back in October of 2020. Imager Morris wrote a magnificent story that very first day on October 14th, 2020, which was distilling, I guess some of the most pertinent emails that were in the laptop and that Rudy Giuliani had given us and that Rudy Giuliani and his lawyer had spent many weeks digging through and finding what they thought and bringing to our attention what they thought were the most obviously. Problematic emails for Joe Biden. And the one that we've chose to run with on that first day was an email from hunters Ukrainian benefactor from burisma, which was a an energy company corrupt energy company, which was paying him $83,000 plus a month to do not very much to sit on its board. And the dim positives are riding to hunter and emails saying thank you so much for letting me make your father last night in Washington. And so this flew in the face of Joe Biden's frequent refrain during the campaign that he knew nothing about his son Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings. And that was a lie. He lied to the American people

Contractors Used by US Companies in Afghanistan Stuck in Limbo
"I am reading from the last thing. He wrote at national review about the contractor. Who is sent you an email. That concludes about priority to program. Which i did not know about until i read. Your column lives are in danger. Evacuations are in chaos. Don't believe a dan word. Plenty american spokesman says there either making it up or they allying and the damn system for prioritizing our afghan workers cluster because the department of state can't manage damn email inbox. I'm been so disappointed and angry at my government than today. It is maddening jim. That sentiment is echoed by every congressional staffer. I've talked to who is overwhelmed by the good congressman republicans and democrats who are trying to get interpreters and now i guess priority to people out of the country yeah A little bit of background know on this reader or at least what he's comfortable with me sharing So he worked for a company. Did construction and afghanistan they built both us bases and garrisons and sports and things like that and they also did certain things for the afghan government Mostly relating to the military police institutions.

And it's just about every last one of them needs to get out of the country. I don't know if you saw the cnn report that they issued a death warrant for the relatives of translator so it's not just like you know if you're saying oh with the taliban really bothered with a construction worker. Yes they're going after anybody who had any work For the americans in any capacity and this pg program In addition to you know military translators and folks like that there were a of you know.

These were folks who they kinda quickly grass every bit as much at risk as anybody else. And i could be better late than never about an august second. They created this program to say. Hey have your employer. Information will process. It will give you a special versus visa. We'll get you out of the out of the country

I don't know why it's basketball so much. Maybe it's because in basketball. I'm touching you all the time like brady's not really coming in contact with the guys that are defending him and not touching and much right and in baseball. I'm on the mound. You're at the plate. There is something about basketball and the proximity. I'm touching you. i'm next to your ears. I'm looking in the i. I'm sweating on you. It really becomes psychological and basketball. I'm right on top of you. Were banging were robin. Were exchanged in sweat and there. It becomes very like it's uncomfortably close sometimes.

Clint Smith on How the Word Is Passed
"Clint smith joins us. Now he is a writer for the atlantic and the author of a new book. How the word is passed a reckoning with a history of slavery america. clint thanks. For being here. Thank you so much for having me. So let's start with just a bit of news. Your book debuted at number one on the new york. Times bestseller lists for nonfiction. Tell us about the moment you found out. Oh man this was. Never something that i could have even imagined i mean it was not on on the radar for book that is exploring the memory and landscape of historiographer of slavery to end up. You know above oprah bill o'reilly it's it. It was really amazing. There's a pairing. Yeah my editor. My asian told me to buy my phone around five o'clock. Which is when i think of the list and so five o'clock came and i didn't hear anything five. Oh five came. I didn't hear anything five. Ten came and i was like okay. Well didn't make the list. It's alright like success isn't defined by external factors. You know i'll be okay. Five fifteen km. Still nothing. Like i guess. They're trying to figure out how to tell me that didn't make the list. And then like five seventeen came and they called and both of them were just screaming. It was just like screaming and saying like number one number. One ucs debuted at number one and i just fill out of my chair. I mean it was. It was amazing. I'm just so blown away by the support that readers have given this book the way people have shared it and recommended it. It means the world. So i'm still sorta pinching myself. The whole thing is just wildly. Surreal and. I still can't believe it really happened. You've been working on it for a while. How did the idea for the book originate. Yes i've been working on it for about four years. Started in may two thousand seventeen when i was watching Several confederate statues come down in my hometown new orleans so i was watching the statues of pg beauregard jefferson davis robbie lee amongst others be taken down and i was watching these statues. Come down from my home here in maryland and thinking about what it meant that i grew up in a majority black city in which there were more to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

Jazz have been getting a rest goals as of late having not played since last wednesday after winning their next opponent clips scott next as clippers jazz semi finals tip off tonight. Stephen who has more to prove in the series policy george or donovan. Mitchell i believe is now on record saying he's a superstar he is something special to behold. But because you're going against paul. George and kawhi leonard and they're coming. This is your opportunity to cement your arrival point this big see. We already know. You're a youngster. Who's a star. I call you d way. Two point zero. Because i believe in donovan mitchell. I believe that's exactly what the hell is. We have seen utah. Jazz struggling postseason. This is his first time past earth brown but this is the first time he's been in this position where it's these kind of expectations. The utah jazz with donovan. Mitchell look in the way that he's looking are the favorites to come out of the western conference and kawai and paul. George are standing in your way what he does in this series if donovan mitchell up the way he showed up last year against denver in the first round the way he's showed up in this year's first round against job mirant and memphis if debt donovan mitchell continues to look that way against co kowa and paul george it really official. I mean to me. It's official already but it's really official as to the superstar. This brother is he's the one with more. Prove the me to me. It's paul george. Paul george one with more to prove i already know donovan. Mitchell can be the leading scorer on a playoff powerhouse even though they didn't advance for it but you could see on the mitchell and he's on a powerhouse. Can paul george be a second banana. Who's good enough a robin who is good enough. Good enough so that you can win a title at least get out of the west kenny. Do it can you do it consistently. Why is a two-time finals mvp. He's doing his thing in these playoffs. As always if. Paul george latching beasts d one beata his one a or one eighty was one. Whatever who's to say utah gets out of the west in fact the to do's like this. They have everything you want on a team to win a chip. They should get to the finals the clippers and get to the finals. If paul george can do it he hasn't done it in the past playoff p right like this is the issue. He's got to do it. I think he has more to prove okay. We'll keep going. We have been blessed with some excellent basketball. This postseason with stars from the east and built the west showing out guys. Stephen named most valuable player in the playoffs. Thus far yokich. I don't think anybody can deny that we've seen great performances all over the place. I have a vote. He's my mvp in the same nikolai yokich. Did i've seen in the regular season. Who by the way never missed a game. This year is the same yokich. i've seen in the postseason. I'm watching this guy. He just looks like a big tub. Along can't jump onto a damn curve and you can't stop them. His footwork his movement his passing ability his basketball iq his ability to shoot the ball his strength. This do is something special. He truly truly is what a talent at the big. I'm used to talk about a visa. Bonus like this okay. If we only have seen him as a crime right we used to talk about again. The man can jump onto a curb. Okay can't jump onto the curb. it don't matter everybody that goes against him. Looks small the andrei seven feet tall. He looks small. Looks miniature next to yokich okay. The only person that i saw really ever give him problems. Anthony davis last year in the postseason. Yokich is the real deal. He is a model of consistency. He's consistent. He's reliable he's trustworthy. Run the offense. He runs the offense and he's big time he can close. He's not scared at the moment and he makes people better around him he to me is the mvp. This season both regular season and thus far the playoffs. A good pick. I respect it. I say this respectfully because colli leonard only played in fifty two games this year and average thirty four minutes a game and gave you twenty five seven five typical hawaiian the regular season. I'm by the way forty fifty eighty nine right. Nobody did in the playoffs though. Because here comes playoff kawhi leonard. He joins kareem. I mentioned this yesterday. Bernard king and shack is the only sixty four hundred ninety guys hundred points in. Look at this look at game. Six and seven mavericks stephen when their backs to the wall dispute did forty five on eighteen of twenty five and then twenty eight on ten fifteen with ten boards and nine says you know what he's doing for the last died. Sixty four ninety. He's giving you thirty to eight and five guys. The big thing is did miss that corner three year bald it right and it looked like the season was over back from that to be the best player on the court on a court with luca dodge in games six and seven hawaii's my mvp of the first round the playoffs so far. We'll keep going why we're talking. Mvp not to touch on some of the top performing teams. This postseason who might have been slept on max. Which team is the most overlooked in the playoffs. Thus far the nuggets and they have a lot of depth than their backward but it's being tested now and if they had jamal murray i'd take him to get out of the west they don't even so because they don't have joma we've been trying to write them off for so long. They didn't miss a beat without jamal. Murray and even if i think they're challenge in these playoffs let's not get carried away by what the sun's just did you mentioned it molly and steven a at home with a true six men. The fans denver got mile high. They got a real homecourt to and the bottom line is attached off to eighty played. Great against yokich. Last night you'll get remains the best player in the series. He was the best player in last series with damian lillard his team he is the best player in this series with devon booker and chris paul and aiden and his team has a real chance to advance. I think we we are sleeping. Hardest on the nuggets for me. It's the atlanta hawks. The atlanta hawks were losing big games. Weren't gonna make. the playoffs. got rid of their coach. Brought in nate mcmillan. Who was just fired from the indian. Indiana pacers job. Okay and go on. A tear finishes a top five seed in the eastern conference. They get to the playoffs year. You beat my knicks because you were the better team would better play his.

"If if it's in aaron rodgers to say before he comes back to the green bay packers. I was wrong. Why don't i come in here and play out this year before i can get out of there once. He's made that conscious decision. They're still good enough to win a super bowl. In my opinion he can compartmentalize that type of aggression towards the front office. He'd have probably an understanding that. I don't see you. You don't come down to the locker. This is what i'll do with my teammates. I don't even wanna talk about it so you just stay up there. Gouden comes all you guys up there and let me do my job. There would be that type of situation that will be worked out. But he'd still be good enough and he'd still be motivated and he would elevate the play of everyone else if he made the decision to get there. But that's just the thing. Do you think aaron rodgers is the type of player. That would say yeah. That's my bad man. Let me go in and be a good team. No no no. I don't i don't think he is not only do i. Not think he's that kind of person i do. I will say this teddy. You just said something. For the first time i sit here and it makes me think it's possible that he can play next season for the green bay packers for the first time because of what you just said. If it's easier to get me out of here after next season and you tell me i don't have to look at you. I don't motivate where acid state. Hell away from me. I will come here and and do my job. I don't wanna talk to you. I don't wanna see you don't even say hello to me. Leave me the hell alone. If i have that type because the element of peace and tranquility when you look at somebody that you have animosity for when you are front of a person that you don't like you don't wanna be around and you've got to talk to them that's hard it really is but when you get to sit up there and say you know what don't even look at me. I don't want to see you. There could go away. I agree i mean. That's i'm telling you the longer this goes the longer this they decided to drag this out. The more leverage i believe green bay has because teams are going to look at this and saying they're not going to trade him. So why should i put anything on whole to think. I'm getting aaron rodgers. When i need him here during these type of camps and this type of time we can get we can get we can get things worked out so the longer it goes. I think aaron knows. They have the leverage they had badge. Teddy and maximum gas we to. I'm not completely dismissive of the notion. Ama- rogers would be willing to sit out the season rather than play next year for green bay. I think he will be willing to say. I think that he i think he's the kind of person and listen. He's spending his time and kelly. I think when when when when we get this straight are made who take somebody. This warner pointed out. I think it was it was it was it was hasselbeck. I wasn't trying to remember who it was. That said that this one but they talked about how aaron rodgers has made over two hundred million dollars in his tone so good. Yeah tim hasselbeck right away. It's not implausible that he could chill in the california's on this is the whole thing. Lambeau field in green bay for season and then come back but twenty two. That's what i'm saying the way. I see this playing out is if rodgers adopts that position which i think is likely and the team believes it's all about it's not even about how strong your bluff is. It's about if you're a real conviction then the team has a choice. We're not gonna get roger anyway. Oh we can get three. I and what forum. Why would they not treat also also thinks sends an important you talk. Tell you tell me. If i'm wrong i also think we've. We've reached a point in time in the national football league with the league itself. The team owners. They have so much power over the play is because you're guaranteed conscious really about to sign on bonuses etc. I think arron. Rogers has an opportunity to send a profound message to these teams about their treatment of players. Really really do even better. But i just want to underscore something. You said really quick teddy and then you can have the final word here that last season he was also disgruntled a new one. Mvp so the part where you were saying. If he does stay he can't compartmentalize and get the job. Done like a true professional and just real quick just record you gotta realize who else is watching all of this. And that's jordan love and how they're treating aaron and how they're how they want him. Do you really want the next one. If believe that strongly in jordan love to come through all of this the company all this mess to be that next quarterback you think it's going to be and you're trying to get aaron back and so i mean the conflict inside of jordan. Love must be something to. This is not exactly the typical way. You want to develop a young quarterback and we've we've talked about murphy in his public statement about amer rogers situation divide in the fan base. We've heard gouda kids acknowledge. They could've treated him better. They could have handled things better excess etc. Although there weren't many specifics and we do have a quotes for an nfc championship game. When the ball was taken out of his hands and coach the flu comes out and says. I didn't think of talking to aaron rodgers about that decision. Emirati wasn't aware he thought he was playing for four with four downs and it turns out he was only playing with three. So what you have. Is the the mayor run an organization trickling down to the gm and of course. What was it wasn't intentional. Or whatever but it's getting to talk to their connected it's connected connected is connected level of disrespect that has been accorded to aaron rodgers. And dad is what. This is a poly when you say. He won last championship game last year. And that's disgruntled but there's a that breaks the camel's back like oh they move up as teddy move up to draft my successor. When i could get some help me. Put me over the top gun. Then they take the ball out of his hand with the finally. He's like you know. Let me let me say the flu erin has. Aaron has just the thought of. I been carrying you guys for too long and i'm not gonna make you look good anymore. That's what you can do. Your quarterback traded up to get and just in case coach watching it's low-floor let me not play with his is low floor. Okay you're just working on your friend. Know you spend times more serious about this stuff so i don't want to be distracted by mispronouncing his name. 'cause i hear. Are you allowed to pronounce it correctly. But with flair. I guess i've i've heard he sensitive to that when i say the flu. Say stephen.

"In toronto. The series two two and you went from having them number one and number five. That's a fact. So what i'm saying is it makes no sense now. Let me get to k. deep. Here's what i tell you. K d's the best offensive player in the world. There's no way to sensitive pensive or offensive offensive offensive. And i would say the best player in the world because i think that what he does defensively is decent enough. You might find a better defensive player but when you take into account how prolific offensive comedian. The argument best player in the world. I would make the best player in the world. Okay because i think that he has that kind of effect does do is efficient. He's a sniper. He six eleven would handle. He's got a mid range game that arrival anyone on the planet. The guy's got long range sniper ability. He's lanky he's low. He can drive to the basket. He can defend shorter. God could defend. God's got big size and girth and all of that stuff. No you put him on you. Put on your hips. That'd be problematic because he's skinny. That's about the only thing you can hold against. Kevin durant with somebody came to me and asked me because i gotta get at me segment on my show steven as world and this lovely young lady called me to ask about lebron compared to deep and we all know that i got lebron mount rushmore top. Top two top two top three all time. 'cause record is his record but lebron on shoot seventy three percent from the free throw line over the last three seasons. Lebron hasn't even hit seventy percent k. D. as a career like eighty seven eighty eight percent. Free throw shooter. He hasn't shot blowed than eighty five percent for the free throw line in his career and we know where the shooter he is. The brother is god. -able he is lethal. I told you use ago. Janas didn't even belong in the same sentence as now i know k. D. may not talk like that. But i'm telling you that's how i feel when i see him. He's just that prolific enter. Think about the portland trailblazers in the situation that the end. Now let me remind everybody the portland trailblazers would folks with the number two number one overall pick and they drafted greg oden out of ohio state and durant and they said that's why they still haven't won. Alright every new you said about k. D's offense is true. if you ask me mali's the question was who i suspect. It's going to be the best by the end of these playoffs after watching katie. Do that katy is very smart. He understood wait a minute. I'm seven feet. Tall can score from everywhere he could even defend capac- everything why isn't he on a mount. Rushmore right oh i don't have the championships that's easy for people to understand. Let me make sure. I have great teammates. So people can see me. Play deep into the postseason by the chance to play in the finals win championships. He did that he did it. Get in brooklyn. Even hardened goes down blake griffin steps up. Dunks all over your honest. He has great teammates again. So we are going to continue to see him play throughout these playoffs. And there's a good chance. Now with hardens injury he will be finals. Mvp and at that point said. Are you convinced. Yeah at that point. I'll be convinced. The lead changes depending on the who played k. D. played last. You want me to put him a late. I play on a game seven. I wanna game with orange. The only one who said he's the best. I i can line up. And she took a lethal. We know he's big time. I can line up one. Nba endless after another across the globe. And no-one no-one with your assertion that the best is based on the last performance this moment because of injury to the following pleasure. Lebron was hurt. We saw it in. The playoffs was not a d. Hardens out right. You talk like he d say full season. You ain't making stops me when we leave. We wasn't hurt. Just keep talking. The point is with a couple of years ago when lebron hurt you sat up there and said that he wasn't the best anymore because he didn't make the place he was hurt and we said yo he's heard yesterday saying what i said was what i said was. Lebron always has the play offs to prove that he's the best. He will not have them this season. So you look for who will knows has approved what the argument was what we said was that he had ten previous years in the postseason where he showed an established what he what about. Now wait a minute now lebron. He's no it's my turn you zip it so ten years. This man was in the postseason. Opposite is what we would say. It was because he's hurt and eighty didn't make the playoff that doesn't take away from what we saw. The previous. you just said five ago. Katie is the best player in the world. yes. Lebron is coming off a title. He just won the chip so he is hurting out value. Giving this can we can come back to it. Am i not on a saying about even when the healthy k. d. was hurt us because lebron was hurt. No i'm telling me he was her. I've said that.

Cracking the Code of Spy Movies!
"pg" Discussed on Cracking the Code of Spy Movies!
"Spoilers. I'll include some clips from the movie to help you determine if this is the right movie for your kid. Also we'll look at how this movie was rated on common sense media dot org website. Now we have no affiliation with common sense media dot org. However i like to go there because it is a site where parents can share their views about a movie. So we'll let you understand what some of those views are with that. Let's jump into our look at spies in disguise. We did a full podcast on this in december of two thousand and nineteen. Today we're going to just look at why it got its rating. We didn't look at that in the initial podcast. A description of the movie from the twenty th century website is in this high flying animated comedy super spy lance sterling voiced by will smith and scientists. Walter beckett voiced by. Tom holland are exact. Opposites lances smooth swab debonair. Walter is none of the above but this unlikely duo must team up for the ultimate mission to save the world. It's an animated movie and animation has done very very well the soundtrack on this movie. I really like there. Are some parents on common sense media dot org who said they thought. It was too edgy. But i really liked it. The story starts off with a boy named walter. Who's having a discussion with his mother about being weird. In fact his mother helps him embrace his weirdness. And i love this message because it really hits home on the message that we can be different but we all have our strengths. I think they do that very well. In this movie. Walter's mother dies in this movie. Although you don't see it she's a police officer. Who dies in the line of duty. I kind of look at it like bambi and bambi mother. Ami's mother is but we don't really see it and bambi goes on walter. Goes on in this movie. The movie jumps to a scene with lansana mission. The scene has some henchmen and that will talk about later. This is a nice action. Cnn it sets up lance and walter end up together as a team when a device lance uses unexpectedly turns out to be one of walter's nonviolent devices lance goes to see walter to discuss the situation. Then the movie jumps to walter as a young adult who is a science geek. So they really play the geek part. Remember i said they. They play up his weirdness. In the beginning. I walter wants to stop crime and to do it using nonviolent means so he creates a lot of fun gadgets to make this happen gadgets are nonviolent yet. They're still effective at stopping crime to give you an idea. One gadget is called the inflatable hug. Another one's called kitty glitter. That gives you an idea the level of we're talking about here but they are effective and they are non violent means to solving a problem. Walters key gadget in this movie. However is a potion that turns a human into a pigeon lance the super spy accidentally drinks the potion and turns into the pigeon. The bulk of this movie is out. How the two of them salva caper with lances. A pigeon needing walters help. So why is this movie rated. Pg well it's rated pg by the mpaa for action violence and rude humor so for the violence. There's a bad guy in this movie. He blows some things up. There are a couple of fights but most of the rough stuff has handled offscreen. I saw this movie in the theater. And i ask kids for their reaction right in the movie was done and there was this very little child. He must have been five. That's a guest. Who said that. He really didn't like the movie because there was a bad guy in it but then the bad guy got caught so it was okay and he liked. I thought that was kind of interesting from when you're looking at age appropriateness for the movie other than that. I got very positive reactions from the kids for the language used in this movie there wasn't a whole lot to be worried about. However there was one use of the word crap. You can make your own determination on that one. There are also two or three uses of the word suck in terms of this is going to sock. Also there were a couple of hell. Yeah's and lance says shut up a few times that's it in terms of the language. There are three scenes that i would put into the rude humor department. The first is when after lands drinks the potion. He turns into a pigeon so he leaves us human forming shrinks down into a pigeon and as he starts shrinking. He looks down his pants and shorts. Hit can go to youtube and just look for the spies in disguise trailer. The second trailer actually has that clip in it. There's also a scene were an obese. Characters towel falls down in the. Afc is backside now. this guy's really fat. He's got lots of folders tattoos. It's an animation so it's not super super specific if you will now when i saw this in the movie theater. The kids laughed on it. They thought it was really funny. Here's a clip of it. If you're watching the video so you can take a look at it. If you're listening to the audio you can go to youtube. Search for spies in disguise cat sue. Kt su that's the name of the character catsuit camera again. All kids were laughing when they saw it. Take a look at it to see what you think. I'm common sense media dot org. This was probably the biggest issue parents had with the movie. The last rude humor if will is when lance transforms from a pigeon back to a human. He doesn't have any clothes on and so he's naked now. They don't show you anything you see from waist up. There were some parents who commented on it. Common sense media dot org gives this movie four stars and rates for ages eight plus the parents on the site average three stars and said it averaged to age ten plus the kids gave it four stars and say it's for ages eight plus common sense media also gives this movie their selection seal for families so i was kind of impressed with that. This is one of the spy movies for kids. I think apparent will actually enjoy watching some of them i. I'm not sure that you would so. The negative apparent reviews are focused on the nudity. Again take a look at the clips. You what you think. There's a very wide range here. And how parents took this and common sense media dot org there was one parent who rated this movie for ages eighteen plus because of the nudity. They actually called it pornographic yet another parent rated for ages five plus so. Take a look at the scenes here and make your own choice. What you think is the appropriateness for your child. This is spy movie. So there's the obligatory martini a champagne. Glass there's a scene where henchmen are doing shots so again depending on if that's an issue for you you know it's there so overall we think this was a very fun kind of a spoof on james bond mission impossible and that type of movie so thanks for helping us crack the code of this spy movie. We hope you enjoy this. And hopefully this was helpful for you and understanding the appropriateness of this movie for your child. Let me know if this was helpful. And if there are other movies you'd love to hear from you can leave us a message at info at spy. Movie navigator dot com. This podcast is also available as video on youtube channel.

Sylvester Stallone on writing "Rocky"
"Rush. Talked with sylvester stallone about the movie. Rocky balboa and teaches us life lessons here welcome to the program sylvester stallone rocky balboa. I want to be honest with you. I didn't know what was left to tell the story. I've loved all these other rocky movies. But there's been a long hiatus now. I was stunned. You cover every demographic in this. I mean looking at it from a from a production and marketing point. It looks like the first rocky movie cinema. Graphically you haven't gussied it up with a bunch of computer generated fireworks it. You've got life messages in this movie for everybody. Pg what had happened is a good friend of mine says faludi. Who wrote that book stiffed. Which a couple years ago is about the diminishing and kind of like deluding of the american male in the workforce and after you know this planned obsolescence almost for world war two and every generation. It seems to get harder and harder for a man to express himself and we seem to be slowly being moved on this conveyor belt out before we're ready to be moved out and it was kind of a wanted rocky showed that he still has he says has some stuff in the basement. He has a flame in his heart and i think a lot of the american male feels that way but society goes nassau. You've had your you know you're up at bat and it's time to move on and go. Well maybe you should move on when you're ready to move on if you wouldn't take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd maybe it's you know it's pleasure will be worth the pain.

Jasmine Green Talks Plants And Cities
"All right. Jasmine green thank you. So much for coming on the podcast. How about we start off by telling everyone a little bit about who you are and what it is. You do sir jasmine green. I am a pg candidate at uc davis. And i studied plants in vacant. Lots and more broadly plants in cities and generally urban ecology so. I definitely didn't start out as a plant person per se and so it's been an incredible journey. I think in grad school mostly as far as getting really introduced to plant and all the cool things that they do. Ecosystem is the collagen wise largely. I would say. I was more interested from a landscape perspective of what could deal and my in my department of plant sciences department which has a real focus on the people side of research. I would say more like applied research. And that's where our lab which does urban ecology work really fit in because as you mentioned urban districts are really complex and large part of that complexity comes from them being designed for people so a lot of you know the traditional kind of theory of like how communities are structured or how ecosystems are formed in succession in. That kind of stuff is really really different. People are the ultimate like each constructors. You know they can. They've designed this entire system. That is really in the interest of this one species which humans so from from my point of view. I started as a masters student. And i was looking at yard. Transformation so looking at lawns like in like single family homes and so in california. Which is very i go to school where you live right now. One of the main ecological issues in environmental issues drought and saving water. For you know for those drought times to make sure enough water considered for people years for there to be used in agriculture and also to maintain for environmental quality

"pg" Discussed on Now Try This
"Least our fellow fan of the genre i. There's so much wrong. So like i think okay i think again. I think there's good ideas here right like the moment the cops come and gorman's gotta like fight them. I think that's good moment but like why if you're taking place in the real world. Why not have mimi and luke react like normal people. If you're going to have some people react normal and then some people be like three seasons before that the mom and dad were best friends with psycho gorman like i wanna watch that movie you know like them like dealing with accepting him as like it. But that's why leland stitch works right. That's such a finely crafted movie your disney's best in my opinion like the whole transition of stitch as he's learning bit by bit by bit of not being a monster anymore and then he reads ugly duckling. Oh my god how amazing have been in the in the beginning of the third act but can cycle gorman was left in the fuck in on while you're talking about leila institue just do on a show off little snide head ideas that was on there. That's easing. i want that. I want to so bad. Oh i never knew that if scheduling stitch your cycle gorman at the beginning of the third act in those magazines accidentally picked up a children's book and it was ugly little duckling and he read it. Come on how much better with the movie have been. Yeah i could see that if i was missing heart if followed more of the conventional storytelling of something like this like e. t. or leland stash or the offbeat humor the badness of it. But you need like a little bit of it a little bit of an emotional core a little bit of something for me to grab onto even if you pull the rug out from under me afterwards buying totally get that stuff in there and then make me. Yeah the movie when he goes and goes and killing spree. I'm like yeah that makes sense. I like Yeah i think for me allowed the jokes work. I think there are some jokes that were like a little bit too much not too much but just like too repetitive. I guess playing which did you give me an example of some of those. Like i really just like little like little jokes. I felt were there. Were a little when vision jokes to. Here's a part where the cop is turned into this weird greenside outreach inside out creature. And he's walking around and like try he's gives. He gives me letter me a letter and it says please kill me and it's a little hard. She's like no and then tries to shoot you. Can i that works for me. That was that was a good one. What are they gonna moments choke in the beginning. Hunky boys. Yeah yeah so. And beginning of the film she pat. He gets magazine his. Oh i don't care about this. And he's like i don't care about honky boys and he looks at the hunky boys or do i and i felt like that and then of the nfl. Templar dashes our cuts apart the magazine. He's like my honky boy. Yeah yeah you're right. I liked it. Works and those aren't like just to you know like there are a lot of small little jokes like that. That are funny like like. You mentioned earlier alister. We live this way forever. You know like that works for me. That's funny there. Were some good ones. I was laughing at some points but then there were some jokes that i was like. Wow tactfully you just didn't quite naylor also have been funny like when they were doing the shopping spree with psycho gorman. Were killed a random guy. I was like i see what you were doing. I get what the joke supposed to be. But when you have your world have no stakes. That takes away the humor of it. Imagine if that was happening and literally. The town was like running away in fear of mimi woman. That would have been blais better. You know or even go all the other way and have people notice. His disappeared like the shoppers and he disappears and then they keep going the second right. Yeah there's just like all the ideas here. I think work like the idea of a random guy while they're on a shopping spree wanting but it just it doesn't leave the right room for two examples of ways to make it work. There's a million different ways to workshop. It i just feel like you know what. I want this guy next time when he makes his next movie to call me up i will. I'll give a pass in the script. And we're gonna get you there buddy. I've made honestly. He's a good dude. I feel like. I've been seeing him a lot on cast and stuff like that. Where like similar to us. And he goes out and does a lot of interviews that he doesn't need to be doing on this. Podcast proved me wrong. I i. I was going to because i was like. Oh yeah i like easily reach out to him and he'll probably be on the podcast. But it's not gonna like the movie and i don't want to like have to kind of censor himself. Can i tell you the truth. Yeah i call you know how there was There was like two minutes whereas i can have two minutes and a muted myself. What i was doing is i was calling lexi and saying let's see i don't know what to do about this podcast. What are you talking about as like just say. You didn't like the movies. Like i know i usually don't have a problem saying i don't like something but i think marcus really likes it and it's this movie small enough where he could like talk to the people involved. She's like what do you mean is like. I think somebody just thought us on twitter. I think yeah i. i don't wanna shit on it. So my then ruined his chances of calving and she's like oh you're right. What do i do she alley. That i've talked about. I think all my view you actually agree with. Yeah i i think we like and dislike pretty much the same things about movie. Yeah i think. I think because i was like just trying to think about what you might decide. What movies have you worked on. you know. come for me. Don't buck income for me. you know. Well you're the one listening to my podcast. If you didn't like this you might like the void. You might like some of his other movies. They're all silly like camp. I don't know if you would like it but it is kinda it's more. There's no jokes in it. Kind of thing. It's just it's like you said. I think all the ideas of their i. Yeah again i think. Pg the way he's written in the way he's film really works the actor. That doesn't aaron doesn't really good job i think. Here's the thing i think going back to. What is it about this movie. I think you're right. And i think it's just didn't have a lot of time and money. You know why. I know that because almost every shot is a wide shot. And if you know anything about filmmaking when when you don't have a lot of time money what you do. Is you set up the camera here to do the whole scene. You get that one way. Once or twice in great i got. It got do a couple of pickups in an expensive hollywood drama movie you'll have a close up and medium and then another close up and then another angle and then we wrap around and then for every fifteen seconds because you have all this time and money. This does not do that. There's not a lot of cuts. there's a lot of wide shots that means they did not have a lot of time. They did not have a lot of money. And that's why you know some of these things weren't like workshop Says why some of these dialogue Feel like you know first asset. I think yeah well. I definitely feel like it. Is this guy. I don't wanna like i know we're we're criticizing the movie. But i i like the movie a lot. And i want to say that this guy is very creative and that like with a little polishing. This movie could have been top tier. I actually agree great. And here's the thing. You know what i mentioned james earlier like as an insult. Here's the thing. If you're a real james gunn fan and i would consider myself one. Yeah you know what his early stuff was yet. You've watched as making you've watched. He's been born.

"Wanted to do puzzle pieces because you had a bunch of them. And i was like elia so because i had already read about it so i was like hell. Yeah i want to do this. So yeah you got me. You've got me here. And here. I am and i am ready to not fix things. I am ready to peaceful peaceful puzzle. I am ready. I am ready to puzzle piece movies. Let's do it with you. This movie psycho gourmet pg psycho gorman. By the way people title all right. We'll get into a lotta stuff about this movie along the way. So let's just jump in. What do you have your first puzzle piece. Oh wow just in really right out. And so okay well. I have to preface all of this with every puzzle piece that i thought of wrote down and then i went and watched some interviews with the director and the director wears every influence on his sleeve. He mentioned every single movie. That i thought of a puzzle piece for our and then i tried thinking of three more deep cut puzzle pieces. He mentioned all of those two. And i really didn't know where to go with it because the guy just says oh. Yeah this is based on this movie and this is based on this character this movie because it is a movie that is an omani to a certain very specific niche type of movie And he definitely will tell you what inspired every single thing in this movie. He's basically puzzle piece it together for exciting. I need to check out that interview afterwards. Yeah it's a couple of them. And what i'm gonna do is is. I am going to just tell you what i the one that i thought him and then i will tell you what i found that he said about it after. I say what i'm gonna say. How how about let's get to. It is one of my first puzzle pieces and actually it was right from the beginning. Was the movie highlander So highlander has that wonderful eighties blue aesthetic to it. And it's got sword sword battles and of course we have plenty of hours but the person that made me think of highlander was highlander. Also has the opening read text so this movie opens with red tax to that scrolling and the first thing i thought of. It's because i. I watch highlander at least once. I really enjoy highlander in immediately. I went okay. That's read text. That's highlander the first thing that i that invoked was highlander and also highlander. Very famously has One band doing the music Queen and this movie also has one band doing the music for it. A band called blitz leah so a bunch of scores for indie films lately. Yeah so we've got so. That was my first one was highlander. And of course. I went to the tape and the director said that he also loves islander and he says that's why he fills his films that's why he said that his films end with sword battles okay. So he loves highlander So and that's why he likes to put in lots of swords and that was my first puzzle. I have a bonus trivia ohka so that the red voice over With the red text in highlander The person who is narrating that is sean connery. And the reason why that it sounds all all the why there's like an echoey ethereal component his voice because he recorded it in his bathroom so that the so those are the echoey sound is his voice. Ricocheting off sinks and toilets This is sean connery so probably a gold toilet shorts ago toilet sina That's what only gold is good enough to caress the bottom of sean call. we're getting some good information here with these puzzle pieces of far. This is a good. I like it yeah. I haven't seen highlander in a long time. By the way. I do want to revisit that series one of these days at least the first one i well. The series is not green. Highlander to is offshore to is really terrible Which is actually funny. Because the director did say that he took a bit of highlander to and put it in this movie but Yeah i learned to is terrible within. There's the there was a very popular islander tv series with What was his name adrian. Yep sexy honky dude. Instead of Weird accent christopher lambert. I honestly have no idea who is in the tv series. He in paul. Whatever that he was. He was big in the nineties honky. Highlander honky boy. We we know that. Pg likes his honky boys he keep pg okay Yeah so that's like it. Well i'm going to move onto to my first piece. And it's kind of the first one that came to my mind The mixing of kids with just ultra gore violence for comedic effect. I thought of the two thousand ten comic book movie kick ass. Oh yeah with. What's her name hit. Girl i believe. And just ultra violence and a precocious kid who just loves it and thinks it's so much fun and so funny and it is such a fun thing to watch because you know kids being kids but then being surrounded by all this over the top gore is great and this movie a lotta time when you get to these kind of like b movie inspired kind of films people will talk about just how completely insane and over the top they are and then you watch them. And you're just kinda like this doesn't really quite live up to what everyone's talking about what this movie is. Pretty frigging gory. I mean there is a lot of decapitations we get people melting and you know all kinds of shit so i was very very pleased with the gore in this movie and that is a big plus for me. But it's that gore. That only scares like you know what i mean like. It's it's that gore that you know. This is the reason why when we think about a movie that scared us when we were like eighties kids or even like lately. You know early. Nineties kids When movies when they were still throwing kids really gory. St yeah This is why there were you know. And also i believe. Pg is a nod to how pg films were so scary for kids that they had to make the pg thirteen shore. Yeah i would. I would think so yes there are some. Pg thirteen movies. That would scare the crap out of me when i was a kid. A pg pg movies got but that's why you go back and you watch that old movie that scared you you watch it when you're an adult like this is so cool right so cheeser you know i mean and you know. It's just that like that. That practical effects gore were. You can absolutely notice that. Suddenly the real head has been replaced by a fake. Or you know all those kind of things like that which which give this whole genre. It's it's it's sharp. It's it's undeniable. definitely definitely. Well what do you got for your next piece. Might next piece. I think was an obvious one. It was one of the first ones that i thought of a little kid. Controls instrument of death Really easy one a terminator two sure. Of course our our.

Because I do imagine you deal with the husband, wife that maybe look at things a little differently. So Teddy says this. I appreciate all the work my husband has done to put together a financial plan, but he also keeps getting is excited about different investments. And it's starting to stress me out that he's always changing our plans and chasing the next big thing. I just want to have confidence in our plan, and I'm not excited about the investments he's talking about. What should I do? Oh, man, that's loaded one to see it, and I do go through it, and I have experience in all the above and that I would say this when again. What you should do is obviously have a discussion because if you're stressed out retirement, you're not comfortable What your plan and I need. It's what it sounds like when your husband chases Shiny objects. He has to understand There is no next big thing. Sure, would. We have all liked invested a dollar an apple when it started for sure, But the reality is, is that when you chase the next big thing, it usually doesn't end up the right way. Now you can have a portion of your money chase it that you can afford to lose in those things. But if it's not in sync With what your plant with what you're comfortable with. The one thing we do do is we have those conversations in her office or through zoom and we make sure we get that on on the table because it is important that you both know what's going on. It's important that you both understand. The simplicity of the plan and how it's going to meet your needs. But I see it all the time. And what you could do is this is where an advisor can play a valuable role in the planning process. Yes, o J D you could sign up for lunch and learn, Say, honey.
