Luke luker WTO's. Letting your cat out to get some fresh air could mean serious harm for the environment. Understanding what cat's prey on and how they overlap with native wildlife was the focus of a study out of the university of Maryland. The D.C. cad count survey studied wildlife cameras across 1500 locations and found that cats hunt small native wildlife, like chipmunks, rabbits, and groundhogs, a natural instinct that can reduce biodiversity, cats that were allowed to roam outside also had a 61% chance of running into raccoons, increasing their exposure to rabies, and the number of cats found outdoors increased with human population density, debunking the idea that felines are stepping into a natural role in the ecosystem when let out. In the end, the study found the best way to protect your pet, and wildlife is to keep them indoors. Melissa Howell WTO penis. This weekend marks the anniversary of a major advancing communication.

"So what would you say one to ten? I'd give this an 8. Yeah. This movie's innate. I'm going to say as well an 8. I loved it. Definitely was going to say, but I'm fuck you guys. I got to it first. It's good to me. It's been a while since I had seen the first one. And before this, I only got about an hour in, but I've seen it so many times before. But it had been a while. I forgot how well they did with obviously you have a lot of exposition and build up you have to get through. And so there's that scene with Reese and the car with Michael bean with Linda Hamilton. When they're hiding in the parking garage, he's like trying to get her caught up really quick. You know, it's nice when you watch a movie where the characters aren't dumb. Like she calls her house to let her roommate know. Hey, somebody's trying to gun for me.

"The resistance of the human resistance gets wind. Of the cyborg and it's sitting back a man in Kyle Reese, a soldier to protect Sarah. He's played by Michael bean. This kicks off a race. It is being because I looked it up. Like Sean Bean. Yeah. Okay. And like Mister Bean, like Mister Bean, and that's probably no coincidence. Probably who they based the character from. Rowan Atkinson. You can see the influence. So that's basically all I got for the youth the plot. I'm curious to see what we think of it. I'll start with Sean. What do you think? Oh. God. You know, I love the terminator. I really this movie is very good. For when it was and what it was, it was very good. You got some practical effects. You got some, I think, was it CGI? Was the animation CGI? I don't even know what you're doing. Stop motion. But the practical effects of when you could tell when they switched from Arnold to the robot, that was a little rough. Stan Winston. But Houston, it's very, very good. For what it was. It was great. And seeing practical effects, I always love practical effects whenever I see them, even though I go, oh, that's practical effects, which kind of defeats the purpose. I loved it. It was cool, it was really cool to see. In this movie, it was kind of the first installment for good reason. This was like a tone setter for, I think, sort of a lot of movies that come after this, because he also went on to write Rambo, right? And he also wrote terminator two. And I think he wrote both of those around the same time when he was basically trying to kill time waiting for somebody to free up. I think it was waiting for Schwarzenegger free up to film this again. To film T two.

How many glitters is could you do? You're telling me that Joey chestnut just down like 73 glizzy. Yes. 4th of July? Exactly. You were using it correctly. Thank you. That's a glizzy. Very Webster needs to call you. I need to use that sentence. Joey chestnut just ate the most glizzy. Todd definitely could take a glimpse. You know who Joey chestnut is, right? Yeah. Okay. I just want to know. Are you just looking at hot dog slings? I mean, how do you tailor yes, you look up hot dogs and then you look up synonyms. Hot dog knowledge is like 90% of Travis's life. Well, okay. Honestly, it was an accident. I was Googling wieners, and that's not what I was looking for, but glizzy, that's a new one. Aw, man. I clicked glizzy, and it was not what I thought. But you were not disappointed. Travis, I swear to God, if I Google glizzy and it is just some Taylor are we doing this real time? We don't have time. Let's talk about the people matching the class and trolling right now. God damn it. So the terminator. What is it? What is it? Well, apparently glizzy just means hot dog. As in literal actual hot dogs. So I guess because of the so how did the common hot dog become known as a glizzy? Apparently the term or I can't say the word right now. Originated? Thank you. In D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Of course it did. Also known as DMV. I didn't know that. Too many things. It's like a tri state area.

"And welcome back. We recording Santa vino. Yes, we are. Sure. We are live. This is our second installment in our time travel series. So we are looking at the terminator. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Todd wafford, Todd wafford, Travis bud. You wrote in the movie? Yeah, yeah. Sean Jordan's back with us? Hey. Taylor rose. Hey. TO. Yeah. So yeah, it was part two. Terrell Owens? Exactly. Get your popcorn ready. And so we are going to look at the James Cameron's first big film that he ever did. It's very interesting. This was, was this his first big film first big film, yeah. I believe he did a horror movie before this. Yeah, it was something piranha. Piranha two. Yeah, I think it's the spawn. Yeah. Let him into his aliens and the best. Yeah. Wait, alien. Who did the thing? Did the original aliens or alien and James Cameron to alien? Aliens plural. So we'll start out with our wine. We are drinking a rose. As I said during our Thor podcast, it is a hundred plus degrees outside. Did not bring myself to do any sort of red wine. Everything we're going to drink for the next few storms is going to be stuff that we can drink, chilled. Triple digits. This is the gear Soleil, rose. At a Mendocino county, this is a 2021. This is a fresh rose. So it's a refreshing, easy drinking. Kind of light. Light pink in color. I mean, it's not a particularly dark, heavy rose. It's pinky. Well, some of these glasses are kind of iridescent. So it makes it pinker than it should be. But yeah, I think it's a great little one. I mean, it's under 20 bucks. I think it's $18 or that. You can Travis, you win the bottle. Oh, you're just moving, okay. Classic California minutes off dry, kind of tasting to me. It's not bone dry, but it's pretty dry. Oh yeah, what is our alcohol content? Alcohol content, we are going to clock in at 13%. 13. Pretty typical of a rose. I think you're going to find the most 12 and a half to 13 and a half percent. Somewhere in that range. But yeah, hot weather is perfect. Hey, it's certified organic to draft. Oh yeah. How many sulfites are in that? It just says contains. So look, probably a little bit. None are added. It's just contained sulfites. Gotcha. It's very difficult to make a wine that contains no sulfites. I won't say it's impossible because there's a couple of wineries that claim that they are sulfite free. And they usually taste like butthole. Yeah, they taste like fried buttholes. I've never had a wine that is supposedly sulfite free. Just enjoying sulfites. Is that the only thing we like about wine? Well, sulfites are a byproduct of fermentation. They're a chemical that's created when the white is feminine. So fully removed, we have to pour the entire wine through sandy loamy foam. Yeah. And then to remove those. Exactly. And then whatever you are drinking it just lonely is an underused adjective. Todd. You've ruined my rap lyrics. I have to beep that out. And as we've said before, you could do this with burgers, you could do this with pizza, pizza. You could do it with fried food. A good glizzy. Is that a porn star? Is that an Australian food? It's slang for hot dog. But also penis. I just had a good glizzy, mate. That chassis was all. Never heard about a glizzy? I think you made it. Yeah. I think you made that up.

"This is weird. One person. I'm used to the groups, people. Torches and pits forks. The Sean, what do you think? This movie's great. I honestly, I didn't watch this movie as a kid. I saw it later in life and normally when that happens when there's movies that people love because they saw it when they were kids. And you see it later in life and you don't see it as a kid, it doesn't have the same glow. Notable examples like willow, I didn't see willow as a kid, and when I saw it, I was like, okay, this movie is fine. It's fine. But this one, I love this movie. It's so good. It's fun. It's family friendly. It's just, it's a romp. It's a good time. And honestly, you said the main character, Wesley, ended up later being Robin Hood and Robin Hood men at tights. There's a lot of similarities between those two movies. It feels like Robin Hood men in tights was like the adult version of the princess bride. In a lot of ways, and that's a movie I would love to do one day because I love Mel Brooks. I literally had to go to IMDb and are there any similarities in the writers? Are there any no crossover? No crossover whatsoever. Yeah. I think it's just two people hitting the same vein in a very similar way. In fact, in terms of filmmaking, create a pedigree, you couldn't get further apart with William Goldman and Rob Reiner and Mel Brooks. I mean, I know that. But yeah. But I know that Carl Reiner rob's dad and Mel Brooks are best friends. They were like, have dinner together. Every week, so. Well, and I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan. Carl Reiner, this was a during COVID, they did a not a parody, but an homage to princess bride. And that was Carl Reiner's last role before he died. He was reading a book to his son Rob Reiner in bed, and he was doing the whole as you wish. That's awesome. And so during his memoriam at during some show, they showed that as his last, I got real misty. That's all that. That's awesome. No, I think this movie's great. Like you said, it's one of those ones. You could turn it on any time. I didn't even have to watch this movie to do this podcast, but I did anyway. I had the option of just kind of skipping it, but I was like, no, I don't want to watch it. I want to watch it again. Same here. Yeah. And it's on Disney+. I mean, it's some movies like you have to really kind of give a second pot. You got to have pause..

"I want to say the postman, which he definitely showed his ass in that one. No, it sucked. It was awful. His answer. Well, both actually in that one. Really? Both for subpar Mel Gibson and a lot of his movies. You know, lead the weapon and et cetera. I think of one of the Mad Max. I think it was ThunderDome, he goes bare butt. I think you should fact check that, but rating. I feel like he's got a rump. Oh, I think it doesn't end in the early movies is great. I think everything about the post, maybe it was just my general mood. Maybe the movie's ass. A bad movie, yeah. Bad movie tends to take a couple of points off of my butt ratings. So, I mean, it might have been a 7, but in my mood three hours into a movie about postman is a 5. So westerly with tea. Westley. Westley. They get separated. And in those intervening years, princess buttercup gets betrothed, another big word. To an odious, another big word? Another big word. Killing them on these notes here, prince humperdinck. You must have been more in your glasses. Oh, push them right up the bridge of my nose. Play by Kristen Brandon, who is also Jerry fright night. Yeah, Chris saran is popping up in these. So, but before she can be married, buttercup gets kidnapped by three bandits. A sword fighting mercenary on a secret vendetta played by Broadway star Mandy Patinkin, who says to this day, this is his favorite role in legal Montoya. It was a great role. Gentle hearted giant played by in a strange stretch of casting André the Giant. Well, it's hard to cast someone who's not a giant, to play a giant, so he played physic. Seemed fitting. Yes. What was the other guy's name? I remember. You conceivable. They come as a ceiling thing. Wallace Shawn, who is a subject of one of my favorite onion articles talking about how he will be tapped to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. I think Wallace Shaun will be an excellent 007. I love that. Yeah, I'd watch it. Inconceivable. So he is a mal the individual who fancies himself as a brainiac. They are pursued by a mysterious man in black who has motives of his own for rescuing the princess. So I'm curious to hear you. I have my opinion after that. I want to hear you guys first. Trav. I love this movie. Again, I've seen it multiple times. But the eagle Montoya, with his speech there at the end, he has his own arc and you almost care about that arc at the end more than you do the Wesley and buttercup. As soon as it's a sheriff with 6 figures, you're like, damn. Yeah. You have the same and honestly his acting in that part. You can't talk enough about that. Everybody remembers that scene. Everybody remembers that line. Obviously because it's repeated so often. But it's almost, I don't know, I can not conflict. God, one of my crescendo of the film for me anyway. Yeah. Watching it. Because going to save the princess and getting out of the castle. Again, I've seen variations of that several times, but the enigma Montoya storyline I really enjoyed. André the Giant loved him. So delightful. Yeah, just heavenly. The creepy little roses, the rodents of unusual size. The craziest swamps, the daring do, yeah, I loved it. I'm a big Chris surrendered fan as well, because he was perfect for the role. Jerry dandridge and fright night. And then you have the Maui edge..

"He wrote this book kind of on a whim specifically for his kids and because they requested for him to write a story for them. And so he wrote this book and then a lot less weird than Alice in Wonderland. Yeah. It is. Also written for their kids. Exactly. Or what lady in the water? Did he write that for his kids? That's weird. That movie was a turd casserole. Imagine getting that written for you. It's like, dad. No thanks. And I'm not a vulgar person. I don't generally use a lot of profanity, but that was a turd. Yeah. Calm down, Todd. That was a multi layered turd dip. It's like a 7 layer poop dip. So the princess bride. It was directed by Rob Reiner. Who directed this spinal tap before this movie came out, and then he did a lot of classics like a few good men afterwards. And I love rob briner. American president, he had a lot of good movies. Harry met Sally. Did he direct that? Yes, he did. Okay. Yes, he did. Walt also Billy Crystal, who was in this movie. Yep. It's based on William Goldman's book, the princess bride, S morgenstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure, the good parts version. Story uses framing device, apparently the book does as well. I've not read the book, but it uses the same framing device of a grandfather played by Peter Falk of Columbo fame. Reading a story to his grandson, Fred savage of the wonder years fame. So you have two TV icons playing grandfather grandson. So in the story and in the book within the story, princess buttercup is played by Robin Wright. Before she got penned before she got Sean penned. False reform boy named Wes T Lee, not Wesley. Wesley. This is more west than others. Exactly. It lends it more of a fairytale. I think in the morning. Cary Elwes, who would also go on to be Robin Hood, Robin Hood men in tights. And very, very similar roles. Like some Robin hoods, he can use an English accent. Impressive. They fall in love. They get a wedding in that movie. There is. Yeah, that's true. And prince of thieves, Robin Hood, the Costner's butt cheeks. Yeah. We could do an all butt cheeks spectacular first and we could do all do a season of butt cheeks. Yeah, all male butt cheeks. We would have to do orgasmo. Did you ever see orgasm? Oh my God. I think I did. Is the South Park guys. They made a movie about a Mormon missionary who becomes a porn star. Yeah. And every time there's about to be female nudity in the movie, a male asks, just walks on the frame. All right. Just every time they block with a male ass. It's great. There's no female nudity in the entire movie. It's all male. Yep. In fact, you could do a whole Mel Gibson Kevin Costner subset because you got Kevin Costner dances with wolves, Robin Hood..

This movie should, and is on a lot of top 100 lists. It never gets old. I've seen it dozens and dozens of dozens of times. So much fun. Ironically, it's a movie as a kid that I would rent when I was sick. You know? I like watching it last night. He's sick too. I'm just like the kid from the wonder years. This is cool. This came out September 25th, 1987. Which is 35. Years ago. Yes. Classic. God damn it, that's a long time. I'm okay with it. Yeah. This was a modest box office success when it came out and it grows a whole lot of money, but it has since obviously taken on a big cult following. Based on look, which I was unaware of. Yes. And actually written by the author. This was written by actually written by the author. Well, I mean, the scripts are written by their authors. Let me clarify. The script was written by the author of the book. Oh, I didn't know that. William Goldman, who's actually an Oscar winning screenwriter. He wrote Butch casting the Sundance kid and all the president's men for which he won Oscars for both. Oh, that's awesome. I didn't know that. Yeah..

"6 and a half. So I'm going with respectful. Sean. That's fair. I had it at 6 and a half, yeah. It's charming, but yeah. Yeah. So here in my thoughts. So I have to have this, it's a good movie. I think it's a little bit overrated for the acclaim that it got at the time. I think Hugh Grant Andy McDowell are a little bit weird. They fall a bit flat as a couple. I wasn't a big fan of her performance in this movie. I thought it was a little bit a little bit weird, a little bit off. Because it's like that, to me, that role seems like it was written to be very like lively, bubbly, like she was supposed to be like this really flirty fun American. But one in a million characters. And to me. It was just a Ho bag. And to me Andy McDowell played her a little bit flat. But maybe that is what appeals to British people. Maybe so. That is like bubbly and wild for the British. Flat American. That could be a cultural difference. Sure, because she in real life is a very charming actor, like she's a southern, you know, she's very outgoing and bubbly. She is what this part is. Yes. You know, it's like you get the family that was written specifically for her, even though they cast a Tulsa native, where we are recording from gene triple horn. She was the first choice to play any other world. Yes. Yeah, she is, I believe in Edison graduate. Where are you going from? She babysat? For my girlfriend, I think. I heard her niece, baby said, I don't know. There's some connection there. You can see her bottom and look at that. What was that? What was that movie? Was it a stunt bottom? Was it a stock bottom though? But was it a stump but? I think it was the real butt. So she was cast in the original part. It's only two of the three horns. You can see Philip Seymour Hoffman's nuts and twists. I'll take twister. Yeah, I thought it was in the movie. It was in the theatrical cut. They added it for VHS. So Todd says. We still haven't seen it. You guys can help Todd with Philips humor. If you can show Todd Phillips seem more Hoffman's testicles. Yeah, I will mail you a check for $25. I like that. Actually, I'll throw in 5. No. You will get $30. If you can show me Philip Seymour Hoffman's balls and twister. I've heard that, again, if you haven't, if you're just joining us instead of you know, we've been talking about this for a while now.

"I mean, it's like you have a main character who doesn't exactly know what love is. So it's a little bit debatable. That's where the song I want to know what love is comes from. Exactly. I'll just grab the plot and real basic detail and boil it down in a couple senses. You got a group of 20 and 30 something year old British friends who find themselves to be groomsmen, bridesmaids, maid of honors, best men over and over and over and they're wondering when it's going to be their turn to get married is the basic plot of the movie. The plot is built around Hugh Grant as basically the core member. He's the main guy at the group. And he has an on again off again fling with a mysterious American woman played by Andy mcnally. Fate keeps bringing them together, pulling them apart. And the big crux is like, will they end up together in the end? Will that fate allow them to be together? So that is your basic plot. I'm curious to see what our thoughts are. Let's start with Sean, Jordan. Fuck, I liked this movie. I thought it was cute. Yeah. Definitely a cheap budget. Now, question of the movies we've watched for this series were these the most expensive weddings that we've seen or was the wedding in my best friend's wedding more expensive. I think my best friend's wedding is probably gonna be the most expensive we've seen so far. Yeah, I agree. I think that was number one. And then these were number two, one was in a castle. There was a wedding in the castle. Which was probably the coolest wedding. If I get a chance to go to like a Scottish wedding, like a true get to wear a kilt. Yeah, in a castle. What my boys breathe. Yeah, have a wedding in the highlands. That's amazing. Marrying a lord? Yeah. For what he was a lord? Yeah. I thought it was cool. No, I thought this movie was good. I thought it was fun little romp. There were definitely some problematic elements to it, but 1994, what are you going to do? Yeah. Weird that the relationship okay, so let's go through the wedding. So first wedding is like where they first meet. It's like one of his good friends. He's the best man. Loses the ring. Loses the ring. Second wedding, his friend was the maid of honor. And third wedding was his love interests wedding. Yeah. Right. In Scotland. In Scotland, then we have a funeral because one of their friend dies of a heart attack. Heart attack. Out of nowhere. He was a partier. Yeah. Right. And then fourth wedding was his own. He ran his own wedding that he calls off at the end because what's her name? Carrie? True love. Yeah. So I think just like going through it, he, the time between her wedding and his wedding was like ten months, right?.

I would think that most of them would have to improve by about 12 to 15 lengths to be mentioned in the same breath as her. And it's kind of interesting, you know, you mentioned that she never went to turns in her 5 for 5 career because there's very, very little route experience in this mile in the 16th race. So it's a lot of guests work involved and who's going to be advantaged by a route race. And I landed on I think it's a difficult name to pronounce this out, your honor. Your honor, the 6 horse.

Because that would be you. I don't remember. I think I recognize the names. I don't think I've seen. That would be you as in the two youths.

For what you said at the top, bob, not a lot of two turn experience in this field, but ros matics does have two different experience. Three of her 8 starts have been two turn miles, two of them were on the turf, actually, and one of them on the dirt at low Sal and she's run well in two of those three two turn races.

Well, I think on this one, I know it's going to sound odd, but like angels in the outfield or whatever, but this one is like almost kind of believe it. Be like, man. All right, maybe if I did like fall and I hurt my arm. I'm like, could I be this kid? Could I get a Pepsi commercial? You would have so many pictures like professional pictures intentionally. Let me clarify, sandlot is still the best baseball film as a kid. But this one, when you actually playing in the major leagues, you're like, damn, all right. Yeah. That is right. I think this one was probably the most quotable. I mean, as far as putting stuff into the zeitgeist, we want to pitch or not about it. Like that was like iconic. Can you taunt a player that much actively on the baseball field? I mean, I know a lot of shit though. I think you can. But I think at the professional level, if you do it, you're gonna get just hit with a baseball. And that's a fan. But I mean, can you say like the picture has a big butt? That seems like a poor sportsmanship to me. Yeah. I think you can, but yeah, you're going to get plunked next at bat. Yeah. Well, these days, it can be seen as a compliment. Pitchers got a button down. Pictures thick. With two C's. Did you see that there was a few weeks ago there was a batter who got hit by the pitch? And he was caked up. It bounced off. I think I saw that. Hit Teflon. Yeah. It bounced right off, man. Shattered the ball. Yeah, the ball exploded like the natural. It must be an omen. I'm telling you, that picture clapped, he pitched, clapped right back. So what would you guys give this scalar one to ten? This is going to be ten for me. A lot of that is nostalgia talking. But it's up there. I think I gave leg of their own also a ten, but yeah. This one, again, this nostalgia is working overtime. What I love it. For a non sports fan, you're ranking these baseball movies very high. Well, they're all some of the best baseball movies there are. Baseball movies. So pervasive as children. I mean, no. Football movies aren't that way. No. I mean, there are a ton of iconic people. There are good ones, but it's like little giants. Jeez. So many good baseball movies. We had to leave a lot of good ones off..

"Yeah. Daniel Stern's almost doing his whole different movie by himself over here. And I love it. He's locked between the sweet doors. Oh no. Oh no. Yeah. I will say there was a moment. I think in Chicago, where I accidentally stepped into the closet thinking I was leaving the front door. So that possibly could have happened to me. I don't know if those things a lot from the outside, but I could have potentially been locked in my own closet. So, you know, going back to Taylor's run in with GaryVee, you know, the titular character, The Rookie of the year, he has come to Tulsa to pitch a first pitch for the Tulsa drillers. Really? Yeah. It was fine. I was there. I saw it happen. But I know he has since done the same thing for the cubs a couple times. I think it's a nice little gimmick he does. I don't think he does a lot of acting these days. No. Can I also say just the sound effects of near the end, Gary Busey of rocket like throwing out his arm, like whatever crunches. This movie has a lot of bodysuits. Yeah, yeah. It did not. It haunts me to this day. Yeah. That's, I'll say it like that. Yeah. So you got Gary Busey's jet Steven. Daniel Stern is the pitching coach. I would say somewhat eccentric pitching coach for the team. I don't remember how to look up the actor's name. I should have written down the manager. He's been in several movies. He was in Malcolm X as one of Malcolm's like early advisers. That's the old first thing I think of him as the guy who converted to Malcolm X to Islam and Spike Lee's movie. Great actor, very different this part. Much more comedian, obviously. It's a pinch to her. I've noted that many of the movies we've watched feature historically unlucky clubs. That's like a baseball is the American pastime in America's love and underdog. People love an underdog. Also, I will say, as of today, the four winningest teams in the MLB this season are the two teams in LA and the two teams in New York. Fuck you guys costal teams. Janitor guy? Yeah. Yeah, the first baseman. Okay, yeah. And I do have a couple of questions. We'll get to those in a minute. Yeah. Indians cubs, the durables. It's like a lot of these teams have been run down that we've watched. And the a's. And then they play in these they play the mets. They play the powerhouse. Play the Yankees. Which I will say, going back to our last movies podcast. I don't think they actually won the World Series at the end of the movie..

"To San lavino. This is our next part in our final part in our baseball series. Part 6 of 6. Bottom of the knife. Yeah. Here we go. We've had bases loaded. Yup. We've had quite a variety of movies, and we wrap it up with a kid friendly movie from the early 90s. I believe I saw this one in the theater. I did too. Yep. I did not. Sean was just a little baby. Barely born. Rookie of the year is this one. Classic 90s movie. So at the end of the wave, Taylor had a good call after the strike, baseball movies kind of dried up. It kind of killed the mystique of the baseball movie because it became clear that it's just a business. I feel like basketball in the strike that happened kind of killed that too for a while. Yeah. You know, it just puts an ugly stain on the sport. You know, and I thought NFL referees were a really beautiful art until they had their strike and that just ruined everything that would really hurt football big time. Yeah. And then I don't know if you guys are telling jokes or not. I don't know sports. Yeah. And then they turned into glorified footlocker employees after that. Just not the same. Yeah. I mean, what does that whistle even stand for anymore? Yeah. Amen. Yeah. Rookie of the year released July 9th, 1993. Thomas Ian Nicholas, who a lot of people were recognized from the American pie series, played Finch, I believe, in those movies. Oh, he played, oh God. Wasn't fans. That was the money to Google this, but he was definitely an American. Played the most boring. He was the worst character. But let's just call him Rowan God now. Run amaka. Which we do need to catalog all the different names in the movie that we can think of. You just heard him. Frigging frege, there he is. That's all of them. So real simple synopsis, just like major league. This is a very simple movie. Who all do we have here today? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm getting, I'm gonna head to myself. Now we know who we are. I don't know who we are. Sean Jordan. Hey, it's here. Taylor Owens. Hey, Travis bud. Hey, is here. And I'm Todd wafford..

"I mean, the Houston GM obviously as you know many, many years with the Patriots and as was floris, they must have a relationship. The downside of the Houston job, I think talent wise, they're not where they need to suck. And they have a quarterback situation that is unresolvable. Probably. Watson, there was always rumors watts and wanted to play with him. But what do you do with a lot of Jacksonville still open? That's the one I would want. At least to get a quarterback. I think those are the two still open. Yeah. It's really to me one of the craziest stories that isn't that crazy because I just expect the worst from the NFL. You think, even this thing about, he claims Steven Ross Forrest claims Steven Ross bribed him or tried to bribe him a hundred K per loss. Steve ros adamantly denied it last night, but first of all, a really weird thing to make up. I don't believe, I don't believe Flores would just make that up. Well, conceivable. Florist today on ESPN said he has proof evidence of that. Yeah, you don't. You just don't come up with that. It also makes sense because they were trying to tank that year. It was the same year they traded their left tackle at the start of the year, tonsil, and all that stuff. So that story alone is a gigantic story, but then you go into this other web of just over and over again. There's clear bias against black coaching candidates. There's no way around it. And if I look at the NBA, and if either of those stories were happening in the NBA, people would be losing their minds. Right. Well, I think it's going to monopolize. Is.

"This car that I'm so proud of, I can't take that with me or my watch or the other useless things I was buying. And I just realized in that moment, the shame, this guilt that my parents were going to get a call out of Saturday night that their son was dead. All of these things were weighing very heavy on me. I'm just going to interject for a minute because I had a near death experience too, but mine was in slow motion. I suddenly developed a right foot drop when I was in Disneyland. I saw a world leading neurologist and he said, doctor leika, you have 6 months to live, get your affairs in order. So mine was in slow motion. I was given 6 months. But you know, the doctor was wrong, thank God. That was in 2003, and it's now 2020. So I went through just about everything you did. I went through anger. I went through bargaining. I went through denial. I went through depression. You know, those are the phases that Elizabeth kubler ros says from the book on death and dying everybody goes through when they're dying. Yeah. Yeah. Now the last phase, the last phase is the toughest one. It's accepted acceptance. You and I did not accept the thing. We kept on going. Why didn't you accept it? What kept you from accepting it? Well, so spoiler alert I survived, right? And I kind of went through those first four stages in about two seconds. And I don't think these are stages. I think they all occurred to tediously, but our brain can only process one of them. So one second it's anger, the next one's bargaining, the next one's depression. So I broke my spine in this accident. And it took me a long time to recover and gave me a lot of time to think. And I would love to say to you and your audience that, you know, this moment, I like angrily shook my fist at the sky and said, from this moment on, I will only be altruistic. It wasn't like that at all. I actually went back to that role with that company that I was running for two years. Two years because I was so stuck in paralyzed by fear, fear of moving on because I didn't know what in the world I would do with my life, fear of the unknown, fear of letting down all these people that I told I was going to be a huge success. And so I went back to work and every day, there seemed like more and more of the color was kind of sucked out of the world. And I just was increasingly miserable until one day and you know this certainly a lot of people are motivated to change by fear by pain. I had had just enough and I quit I walked away from this 80 hour a week. Again, history is repeating itself. Again, we have mirror lives. I was a cosmetic doctor for 20 years, a top cosmetic doctor, a top one, and it was killing me. I'd work 18 to 20 hours a day. I love my patients, but they put such demands on me. Yes. Last year I had to walk away, you know? What I started to do was when I started to come out of my anger denial depression thing. I said, you know what can I do?

Think a coronavirus economic package is just around the corner? Not so fast.
"Headlines coming out of capitol hill. This week might have you think. Another round of much-needed coronavirus relief is just a few details away. After months of stalemate since the last relief significant bill was passed back in march. It looks like there is finally some momentum peel back the veneer just a little however and the reality reveals itself to be far more complicated. Let's go through the three options that have captured the imagination of lawmakers and advocates alike. Even more may eventually be thrown onto the negotiating table and elements of each of these may bleed into the others but let's not make this too messy at least not at first one. A bi partisan group of senators on tuesday unveiled a nine hundred and eight billion dollars proposal that looked to split the difference between house. Democrats two point four trillion dollar offer and senate republicans six hundred and fifty billion dollar offer. Part of the total cost would come from some of the five hundred billion dollars in unspent money from the last round of relief so the price tag is a little misleading. It's a stopgap measure that has growing support from rank and file lawmakers who are finding it more and more difficult to justify inaction in pursuit of the perfect. This proposal would stretch through the first fiscal quarter of calendar year. Twenty twenty one or until the end of march and cobble together one hundred and sixty billion dollars to fund a state and local governments that are running on fumes as tax revenue has dried up with the economic downturn. The measure also has more than three hundred billion dollars in loans and grants for small businesses. Twenty five billion dollars in relief for renters an extra three hundred dollars per week for unemployed americans it does not however include an extra twelve hundred dollar stimulus payment. That house speaker. Nancy pelosi and president. Donald trump both backed treasury secretary. Steven mnuchin said. He was reviewing the bipartisan proposal. The white house called it a nonstarter saying it. Plan to work with senate majority leader mitch. Mcconnell and house minority leader kevin mccarthy on targeted covid relief plan to pelosi and senate minority leader. Chuck schumer have their own democrats only outlined for a new offer. They haven't released details but it was sent over to mcconnell in a private letter on monday. The draft was meant to restart negotiations which have been on hold for weeks in most unhelpful. Move mcconnell announced the offers existence and further frustrated democrats who say republicans aren't negotiating in good faith. Democrats have insisted cash be included for state and local governments a major point of dispute for many republicans. Who say it's not washington's problem to fix local budgets. No total cost was attached. Three mcconnell circulated to republicans a new version of the gop plan that would presumably meet with white house approval notably it to did not include a cost meaning to was meant as a negotiating document. The latest incarnation includes small business. Cash a one month extension of base-level unemployment benefits that are set to end at the end of this month. For twelve million americans and legal protections against lawsuits for businesses that are open during the pandemic it notably lacks money for state and local governments. The latest also a plus up unemployment benefits that had been demanded by the white house in earlier drafts in short. Each of these is negotiating. Starting point not a workable idea even lawmakers were at the table for the creation of these ideas acknowledged. they're nowhere near final version. And when you're talking about deals that have perhaps twelve zeros at the end. There's a lot of wrangling left to be done. Meanwhile at least some officials are starting to talk again pelosi. Mnuchin had their first call since election day this week. The pair were the principal negotiators on a follow up deals through the summer until trump abruptly called off negotiations via tweet in october. He later demanded they return. But pelosi wasn't keen to once again. Be set up for failure by amir curiel president in the finals ros of campaign and decided to hold out for the election results. It turns out. Her hand is now weaker as house. Democrats lost seats. President elect joe biden has been in full contact with pelosi and schumer speaking to reporters in delaware on tuesday biden. Said he wants congress to act now. As a first step toward efforts he'd pick up when he takes office on january twentieth but he mcconnell have yet to speak since election day he added for his part. Mcconnell has yet to explicitly say biden is one although he has in roundabout ways suggested he understands who will be in the white house. Come january twenty first. that suggests talks aren't really as far along as some would hope as if this weren't tough enough the. Us government faces a do-or-die moment at the end of next week. The united states is set to run out of cash as the clock ticks past midnight on december eleventh and into december twelve that hard deadline ads and urgency to congress to do something. There is zero political appetite to shut down government in the middle of a pandemic heading into the end of year holiday season. Some lawmakers have talked about attaching corona virus. Relief package to the must pass spending bill in may be a way to get some forward movement but it also gives mcconnell added leverage to limit the size of the tacked on bill. Mcconnell controls the senate floor with an iron grip and ultimately has veto power over the entire agenda in the upper chamber if he says a limited pandemic relief measure is going on the omnibus. it's omnibus arrest for all practical purposes. So we're left with a string of calculations will progressives such a scaled back relief package until they can badger biden in the new year can conservatives stomach any of the red ink and if it does pass will trump sign perhaps the last significant piece of legislation of his one term presidency. The answer to each of those is at best a shruggy emoji without government funding forcing a vote. There's no guarantee mcconnell would bring another round of biden backed relief to the floor. In the new year conservatives will not be eager to give biden early win especially if it carries cash for struggling states and cities and trump seemingly has yet to accept. The movers are showing up at his door next month. It's the perfect cliffhanger for our president who spent so long as a reality show producer hence while the optimism coming off capitol hill. That a solution is in sight is perhaps misdirected.

It's the love burgundies. TREMONT DEBRAH goal. OC. Brute rose, Zach. Nine, hundred, nine. Import Bubbly. That's actually really really good. And It's a criminal chroma. is a sparkling wine from France. Isn't. From. Champagne. Champagne can be a grandma just means sparkling wine basically. But there brandon Sir you don't think of them as chromite you think of them as champagne. So everything else is a criminal and this is from Burgundy. And if you're not really up on. That part of the country. or The world I guess. The bottom part of Burgundy's this is of in northern eastern France. Is bourgeois. And the northern part is champagne and middle is the Burgundy region. and. It's home of some of the best new iron. Chardonnay in the world I mean it just that's that's ground zero for Pinot Noir Chardonnay. And they make. Like champagne does just a little bit to the north. They make bubbly to and a half may bubbly for a long long time. And this love ninety nine bubbly is made by. A group of farmers and four hundred, fifty different farmers in the region off with their grapes together and they make three and a half million bottles year. If, you want the name, it's on the. Website www cheap wine fighter dot com. It's French. Damn. I can't remember American names remember French names. But they're legit. You don't know who these who makes the winds were trader Joe's. But they're actually good in it at love. Ninety nine. This is good. Trader Joe's is a lot of buying power ninety nine. It is typically a lot less than what A. parable wine and a retail shop with being. One of the reasons is that all the in Europe are trader Joe's in. Europe is all ignored there's all ignored all these stuff. The all the United States is all these south and. Trader Joe's Aldi north, but they have a worldwide reach it almost wine shops are in a city or maybe a stay. Supermarkets can go. A long way they can be many states but they don't normally. Push. Their own brand of line. They don't really have that going for the most part like trader. Joe's does with are known for their wines and they're known for their value price twice.

What's leftover because if you're going to spend thirty Bucks Forty Bucks Fifty Bucks One, hundred, twenty bucks you're buying champagne. If you only have ten twenty, you might look at a criminal.

I'm excited I'm excited to have you on and if so much to cover and I thought I would begin with a question that will hopefully open up a whole different doors. A whole different set of doors. I think is the proper English expression that could potentially walk through. And it's related to a book. This is affective computing crime if. I'm getting any of the pronunciation wrong by. Rosalind Picard A. R. D. How did this book come into your life so I am concerned? I grew up in Cairo and around the Middle East. But at the time this is like nine thousand nine hundred ninety eight. I had just graduated from computer science from the American University in Cairo and my career plan at the time was to become faculty like wanted to teach and so. I knew teach had to do my master's in it was all very calculated and so I was looking for a thesis topic and my fiance at the time went on Amazon and he said Oh. You know there's this really interesting book by this. Mit professor called. Rosalind Picard Called Affect of computing and. We ordered it through Amazon. It took about three months to shift to Cairo. It got held and customs for reasons. I don't really understand but eventually I got hold of the book and I read it and I you know. I think it's safe to say that it changed my life because so so the thesis in the book is that computers need to understand human emotions just the way people do and I read the book and I was fascinated by this idea and it you know I made that my research topic and it became my obsession and it just really changed the trajectory of my life. What besides the thesis in the book had such an impact on your was it just that that world view that perspective or was there more to the book or more to the author. Yeah a great question. Soon let's talk about the author. I so rise is one of the few and I mean this was true back then. It's still true today. She's one of the few kind of female you know. Computer Science Machine Learning engineers professors in the space. And you know I kind of learned about her over the years I've eventually actually. She ended up being my co-founder many years later. But there's a story around that but but essentially I was just fascinated by her and she you know she's a mom she's three boys. I just thought she was like a Rockstar. So that was kind of one part of it but just the way she wrote the book and how she you know. I'm very expressive as a human being and I just really like. I think emotions really matter and are in the way we communicate. Non Verbally is very important and it struck me that when we think of technology that piece of how we communicate is completely missing and I was like. Oh yeah like it seems so obvious so I just got fascinated by the thesis. I got fascinated by the implications. Like what happens when technology becomes kind of clued into how we that's going to open up a whole new world of possibilities and I was intrigued by that. So let's travel back to that point in time you were with your then fiance and this book is ordered at the time. You're planning on becoming a teacher professor. Why were you on that track? To begin with I mean was it. Take us back to Egypt at that time were there. Many women striving to be faculty members in similar departments. I'm assuming computer science or or perhaps it was a different department. Maybe could tell us more. Yes so I went to the American University in Cairo and I study computer. Sciences an Undergrad. At the time most of the faculty were were guys except for one female faculty Dr Hulda Husni which became my role model and my mentor. And I just wanted to be like like she was awesome. She was you know. Very smart. Very approachable very fashionable. And I was like Ooh I like that and and I just wanted to be like her and so devised a plan also geek. I'm a geek and I'm proud of it so I I kind of devised a plan. I was like okay. I'll graduate top of my class which I did and then I was like okay. I'll go get a masters and PhD abroad. Because that's what you do and then come back and I'll join joined the faculty and so at the time because I was getting married to my fiance and he had a company based in Cairo coming to the. Us was not an option because it was way too far so he was like a let you go study in the UK. Because it's close enough so I applied to Cambridge and got in. That was kind of the impetus for going abroad and doing this. Like focusing on this research. So when did you then end up going to the? Us was that a difficult conversation with your family or your then-fiancee walk us through how that happened because it doesn't sound like that would have been just a hop skip and a jump to second conversation so walk us through that experience. Yes okay so then. I moved to Cambridge Right Cambridge University in the UK not not Cambridge Massachusetts and I will Cambridge Cambridge original Cambridge And we got married so basically I got married and got the scholarship to go study at Cambridge and my house. So He's now my husband right. Well he's my ex now but at the time he was my husband he was very supportive. He was like you gotta go. This is your dream. I'll support you will have a long distance relationship now. My family. My parents and his parents were horrified. They were like what you can't do that so so I do like to give him credit for for for making this happen and being supportive so I ended up in Cambridge and he was in Cairo and we did that for five years and towards the end of my PhD Ros Picard was visiting Cambridge UK. To give a talk there. And I ended up meeting her in person and we totally hit it off and she said why. Don't you come work with me at MIT as a post doc and I was like Oh my God. This is like a dream come true. I've been following you like forever and this is why you know like I told her my story. And then I caveat it I said that just you know I've I've been married for the last five years and have had a long distance relationship so I have to go back to Cairo otherwise and I actually really said that. I said otherwise in Islam because I'm Muslim my husband can marry up to four women and if I don't show up eventually he'll just like Mary more women so I said half jokingly right so she was like that's fine just like commute from Cairo and I commuted from Cairo Boston for a good a good three or four hundred years going back and forth between MIT and Cairo. How often did you go back and forth. Or how often did he go back to Cairo? Maybe is a better. What else get so. Initially I would spend a couple of months in Cairo and then go spend like a few weeks and Boston and then I would move with my kids to Boston over the summer so summer break we just all go there and so initially. That was okay. So this was between two thousand and six to two thousand and nine was okay Things began to kind of really follow parts when I decided to start the company so we started to get a lot of interest in technology and displaying. It they really encourage you to spin outright. So in two thousand nine united started affect. Eva and I was literally spending two weeks in Cairo in Boston. Two weeks or two weeks in Boston. It was insane and that was when like just goes out of balance everything was out of bounds unless tough it was tough and and and you know. I'm divorced now. Imagine how that didn't go very well. It was just it was I think. In retrospect it was not a very healthy lifestyle. And I I. I wouldn't want to be in that place again. I wouldn't want others to be in that. I talked publicly about that time yet. Let's let's hop around chronologically a little bit. We're GONNA come back of course to starting the company and that decision but for people who don't have any real firsthand exposure to the Middle East much less. Egypt for instance What was it like growing up in in Egypt and based on at least some of my reading you for instance wore a hit job for quite some time. We're not talking short period of time. Maybe you could also speak to that. Yeah yeah and it sounds like you've spent some time in the you've you've you've been to Jordan. It's time in Jordan of spent some time in a few places in the Middle East but not in Egypt never met each and when I was we chatted a little bit before start recording only have a few words here and there in Arabic but it's Levin Arabic right. It's it's what what you'd run across in Jordan or or the Lebanon and I remember though having many people recommend that I not study the sort of standard Arabic textbook Arabic but that I study Egyptian Arabic because all of the as they put all the entertainment and movies that I might WanNa consume would-be an Egyptian Arabic. Needless to say I didn't get that far but I haven't spent any time in Egypt. Well your Arabic spreading goods and you're right about Egyptian accent. That's kind of the most common but but I think the key thing is like there's no one Middle East. There's no one form. I grew up in a family. That's kind of an interesting way quite conservative but also quite liberal so my parents were very pro education. They scientist the They put all their money towards our schooling and they made a point during the summers that we travel abroad and experienced kind other cultures. And I think that's why like I was so comfortable moving from one country to another and ending up in the United States. Your parents do certain interject. But what is your parents do professionally okay. So my parents met. So my dad taught computer programming in the seventies and my mom was probably the first female programmer in the Middle East. He attended his class and he hit on her and they ended up getting married so so I guess I should give them a little bit of credit for ending up. Being a computer signed sub. Sure they had something to do with that. That's so so they both. My mom was a computer programmer at the Bank of National Bank of Kuwait. So we were in Kuwait for a while and my dad is. He's always worked in technology and culturally. What was it like where you grew up Or or within the family. You said that they were for instance on one hand very lesser with the right a cosmopolitan. Perhaps in their perspective and Dr Related to education and and what what were the other ingredients in the household there was there's definitely like clear gender role so even though my mom worked her entire life. it was always. She was not allowed to ever talk about her job post. You know she would leave work at three. Pm Be home like whatever for pm when we got back from school and that was it. She was never allowed to take a conference call at home. The evening never allowed to travel for work and I didn't realize that until I was an adult like I just assumed this was the way it was but it did hamper her career progression and it was this implicit understanding. That's does your. Oh this is my role and we all stick in our lane so that was interesting We were for example. I have two younger sisters.
