I've chosen our episode from November of 2019 on cockney rhyming slang. This is one of those silly episodes That's also packed with a lot of interesting information and I remember Chuck and I having fun making it So I hope you'll enjoy listening to it, too enjoy Welcome to stuff you should know production of I heart radio And welcome to the podcast I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant right there. There's Jerry Roland right there So that makes this stuff. You should know right Can't top that I was trying to think a way to say welcome to the podcast in cockney rhyming slang Can you make an attempt my I'm my brain is so broken right now. I can't even try. Okay, good good Well, welcome. It's a good good time to record a show You're gonna do some cockney in here, right? We want to offend as many Londoners as we can I don't know just just channel a little Dick Van Dyke. Oh You know Yeah, the American Doing a bad cockney accent. Well, I did recently rewatch the limey Yes Casey's for benefit. Yeah, the great great movie from Steven Soderbergh. Never seen it. It's awesome. Is it really? Yeah, I mean, I know it's like a classic and everybody loves it. But I mean, it's really that good Yeah, because a lot of people liked I don't know the hangover. I Like the hangover. Well, how would you how would you like the limey and the hangover same level? Yeah, they're the same movie almost. All right, it's weird. Well, then I've seen the hangover so I don't need to see the limey Lemmy's great and Terence stamp is Awesome, and it then uses some cockney rhyming slang and one great scene My big exposure to cockney rhyming slang is lock stock in two smoking barrels Snatch. Yeah, which I think are both directed by Guy Ritchie, right? Wasn't lock stock like his first attempt and snatch was the one that like Got him married to Madonna you a fan of his yeah, I mean as much as I Like his movies, I don't like him personally necessarily cuz he like hunts bore like a jackass does it like yeah No drunk with his friends in the most like disrespectful way of murdering a pig. I admit his movies But yeah, I do like his movie sounds like he's a creep, too I'm not gonna go on record saying that but Yeah, those movies are okay and then I guess what's his name Don Cheadle a little bit in Oceans 11 sure he did a little bit of that right and I mean like It's code to Americans. It's oh, there's like a criminal a British criminal, right? That's all that means these days Yeah, I think so in movies. It's definitely Like all of those are criminal right criminal people in the movies They're like, you know kind of slick cool criminals that wear leather coats and stuff like that Not dumb criminals that wear like football jerseys or anything like that. They're like, you know smooth criminals That's I think what I was looking for. Yeah, but This this idea of associating it with cockney is not necessarily associating it with criminals. It's more associated with like Lower class working class less educated definitely not the aristocracy over in Britain yeah, or the upper class sure and that by by speaking with a cockney accent or More to the point using cockney rhyming slang you could really differentiate yourself To as a point of pride, right? Like you were speaking like your group your in -group which was at the time cockney, right? But the big surprise to all this is it's really possible and even probable that it wasn't the cockney that came up with this Rhyming slang that it was somebody else altogether. Maybe who knows should we say what it is? No Not for the rest of the podcast cockney rhyming slang Wasn't even Very clearly defined in this piece. Okay, did you think it was? It's in there. Okay, you got to just kind of separate the wheat from the chaff So it is a two -word phrase and is a slang phrase Consisting of two words so far so good where the last word of that phrase rhymes with the original word and It can be and I think the best way to do this is just to throw out a few no. No keep describing Well, the two -word phrase it can be it can be a lot of things it can be a person's name It can be just something random can be a place could be a place. It could be a lot of things it can be anything Yeah, sure. I guess it can be But shall we illustrate it through? Well, there's a second part to it. Okay, the second part and this is very important the Two -word phrase that you're using to that where the second one rhymes with the word you're actually saying Yeah, the original word the original word. Thank you Usually has nothing to do with it. There's no metaphor. There's no connection. There's no Nothing, there's no there's no context to it It's supposed to just be random or in most cases. It is just random words right one of which rhymes with the word you're replacing and To further complicate things sure In a lot of cases and no one knows why sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't a lot of times that one of the words Of the two -word phrase is dropped. Yeah, and then you're just left with the one word Which doesn't even rhyme with the original word anymore, right? That's I mean, that's probably the best description of cockney rhyming slang anyone's ever given So I think we should illustrate it with a couple of examples. I pulled some from From something called the internet Here here's one the the tip and tete That's how long it took me to come up with that Tip and tete for internet, but in ten years, it'll just be called the tip I'm gonna log on to the tip governor So let's say your word was and this was in oceans 11 specifically trouble is the word that you're trying to say Cockney rhyming slang for trouble is Barney rubble awesome And so you would say you're making a bit of the bonnie rubble again, right when somebody that was kind of Who was that? Making a bit of bonnie rubble not the see I already did it wrong No, but I think you that's not like a real person to an American for sure. Oh, yeah Um, I can't I can't I'll shout it out. Later. Oh, man. I finally did a good one No, but it wasn't a cockney person, okay for Another example Queen They would use the term baked bean Look who's on TV. It's the baked bean And that's the Queen. I like that one or in the case of one that's been dropped What is Ed use here bees and honey? That one is not dropped for money. Okay, but which one was apples and pears right? Right, so you would say I'm gonna go up the apple and stairs Apples and pears. Oh, man Let me retake this everybody You would say I'm going to go up the apples and pears to go get my wallet to pay for this pizza Or something to that effect. Okay, but then over time people drop the pears And so now the word for stairs in cockney rhyming slang is just apples Which if you're just standing there on the outside like a normal American bloke sure, which by the way means person You have no idea why this person just called stairs apples You got what they were saying because the context is there you're going up the apples to get your wallet to pay for the pizza But why would you just say that did you did you hit your head? Is there something wrong with you? What's the problem? Why would you just call that apples? Yeah, that's why it's so confounding But the great thing about cockney rhyming slang and in particular the great thing about researching cockney rhyming slang is you learn How you get from apples to stairs and then it makes sense sometimes Yeah, that's true. It's not always. Yeah, sometimes there's It's not documented which ed points out is one of the problems sometimes you can draw the line the through line But because it's not documented and sometimes these things take years and years to morph into its final version right unless you unless you're you know on the What would you call street on the dole? No on the streets, then I wouldn't know but I don't know what streets is you can't just make stuff up like there's real words I'm the drums and beats So you're on the drums right, but they probably have a word for streets like that's the whole point You can't just make anything up, but the you could if it hasn't been taken yet sure Also, that's the other thing about cockney rhyming slang is it evolves right so old celebrities that that no one even knows about anymore Fall away to new celebrities whose name also rhyme with you know whatever word you're saying right? I thought you meant old celebrities who maybe used to talk this way like Michael Caine no He's never said any rhyming slang in his life. No of course you got to see the movie Alfie Maybe that's who it was it might have been Michael Caine. I'll take that Michael Caine. I think it was as a matter of fact Thank you, I'm glad you did it. Noel always says a good joke is to say Michael Caine in the correct accent say the words my cocaine And it sounds like Michael Caine saying it then it sounds like that the correct accent for Michael Caine all right say it my cocaine Well you just blew that one out of the water You Gotta set me up in the future Okay, well there's I've got it two ways now, man, okay, here's the thing my cocaine That's my cocaine That's pretty good Michael Caine. It is good. You're right. No. You just got to say it the right way and not like a robot Josh So here's that one of the things is sort of confounding if you want to look up a like a glossary and Say well, here's what I'm gonna. Do I'm gonna learn cockney rhyming slang so for my trip to England I'm really you know. I'm really in with everybody First of all bad idea yeah second of all it's it can be very localized Mm -hmm and the accents are all different Yeah, so even people in London sure who both who all use well people in London Do but the people who use cockney rhyming slang in London yeah might not even agree on what word is means What I'm just picturing all the people walking around England laughing their arses off. I can't wait to get to that one As we stumble through this um yeah, it had a really good Example of why there's no codification of the cockney rhyming slang He said that when people are creating a language especially informal ones like slang They don't write it all down quote dear diary referred to my house as a cat and mouse today because it rhymed We all had a good laugh might try. Just calling it cat tomorrow and see how it goes It is it sounds funny, but that's that's how it works stumbling across the diaries And here's the other thing too is there are cases where there is a little bit of a reflection of the original word and the example that it gives here is twist Yeah, like to call a woman a twist mm -hmm Which I don't know if that's derogatory or not or just some weird slang that no one uses anymore I don't think so although I don't know so yeah these are also the people who use the C word like it's nothing Man I can't wait to go back there Which we're gonna do soonish right? I'd love to do in 2020. Maybe yeah, all right So twist came from twist and twirl which meant girl which is They were talking about like dancing with a girl twisting and twirling in a nightclub Let's say so there is some connection in that one. Yeah, so girl and ended up becoming twist So that sort of makes sense there's another one called on your Todd After a guy named Todd Sloan and it means on your own Right and the thing is is like on your Todd it makes sense Sloan rhymes with own It doesn't have to have any connection, but that one actually does yeah Cuz Todd Sloan was a famous jockey in the 19th century like horse jockey. Yes, okay? What other kind is there disc jockeys? Oh, yeah, sure So his book his memoir was called Todd Sloan by himself Which is weird to refer to yourself in third person for your memoir Hmm, but there was a line in it that apparently East End East Enders in London like really picked up I was left alone by those. I never ceased to grieve for It's still like the idea of being alone or on your own Became synonymous with Todd Sloan his name just happened to rhyme with that So it's one of those rare ones where there is a connection to it and also rare Chuck in that This is a 19th century horse jockey and still today on your Todd is recognized as on your own Whereas a lot of people probably have no idea exactly who he is and when that happens That frequently that person gets moved out for potentially another celebrity or another word That's a little more understandable or recognized another new jockey two people today, right? Yeah exactly which can you name one? Nope? Nope Alright, maybe we should take a break and we'll talk about some of the other some other examples after this message In a world where modern technology is rapidly reshaping our day -to -day lives the new podcast Technically speaking an Intel podcast uncovers the remarkable ways tech is improving our livelihood across the globe brought to you by Ruby Studios from I heart media in partnership with Intel technically speaking is your passport to the forefront of AI's marvels in modern technology each episode will Take you on a riveting journey as you discover the awe -inspiring innovations of our modern world from game -changing innovations Revolutionizing early cancer detection to AI software that detects pests on crops that can be detrimental to seasonal yields tune in for Conversations that are shaping tomorrow today.

"Welcome to another podcast episode named People of Divine Naples, today you will hear an interview that was done on the very beginning of our Divine Naples podcast, this was the second interview I have ever done in the United States on 14th of January 2018, this interview was never published but for many reasons today I have to bring it to your ears, you will hear voice from my dear friend for 22 years, my neighbor for 18 years, the businessman that you should have known and the person that will be missed by many, if you are one of them you will always find his voice here speaking, enjoy the show. Hello all divine people, welcome to episode 433 named People of Divine Naples, I have the great pleasure to welcome person that decided to dedicate his 22 years of passion for people, he enjoyed to make them happy through taste buds and good vibration, he started experimenting in Naples 2001 with Chicky Hut where he blended in community immediately, after that he opened best rated and most successful barbeque restaurant in South West Florida, Black Eyed Pick and he built from scratch Franklin Social, here is one and only Carl Osborn. Hey Rich, how are you today? I am doing great, good to have you, you are comfortable? Yeah, oh good. Yeah, and our bar is serving good? Yeah, beer is good, check that out. We like to have interviews relaxed so we are prepared with whatever you wish as drinks, so if anybody want to come over and do the interview, so make sure we get the right information. So you are sitting here in a very humble studio, I hope you are feeling comfortable and good, whether it is cold outside, it is good, probably a good time to maybe do barbeque, a lot of people maybe do barbeque because it is Sunday today and you have been doing this for 15 years, isn't it enough of barbeque right now, you still going to continue? Yeah, we are just getting on a good roll right now, we are actually at the restaurant, we are in year 10 right now, but I had 5 years prior doing outside stuff. The question was, you know, if you still like it. I still like it, I love barbeque. That is good, let's just tell everybody what is the name of your restaurant, where you are located, so we can start with that and let's just roll. We are at the Black Eyed Pig Barbeque, it is 5307 Shirley Street in Naples, just off Pine Ridge Road between Airport or Naples Boulevard and Goodlett Road. It is hard to find, so you guys have to get on that road and it is a very short distance from Pine Ridge and you will see from a long way the pig eye, the design on the building. So it is barbeque with a big pig face. Yeah, it is a very inviting pig face. I wanted a big pig to put on top, but they won't let me do that. Oh really? Yeah. But you can smell it from a long distance. Yes. All right, you end up in Naples when? When did you come here? 2001, came down from the Orlando area. Oh really? So you lived in Orlando before? I did, I came to Orlando in 1986 with the Olive Garden. Oh really? So I didn't even know that. I know you for a long time, I didn't know you were in the Olive Garden. I was with the Ruby Tuesday prior for four years and came with the Olive Garden in 1986 to Orlando when they had four restaurants I think. So there is a long way, you are the expert in restaurants, you picked up a lot of practice there. Yeah, I've had a lot of practice closing restaurants and opening restaurants and lots of employees. So you know how to do it? Yes, absolutely. And you know there is a reason for probably keep it on the size you have it because it's very limited on seating, it's very limited with employees, so you can focus on the quality and there is probably, the end is, you've been voted, as many people say, the best barbecue in Naples, so what is the special on that? Well, we decided in the beginning, the building was a breakfast lunch restaurant when we bought it and I've never been open for dinner, so we started opening lunch and dinner and we got rid of everything that we don't do, we got rid of salads, so we're basically just barbecue. If you smoke it, we got, so we just sell what we do. We don't try to be everything to everybody, we do barbecue, that's it. That is very simple? Yes. And you do the hot sauces? Everything is yours? Homemade sauce. Recipes? Everything. Really? I just have to tell everybody who is listening right now, we don't talk ordinary barbecue one like you can buy in the Costco and you roll it out at your parking lot, load it in your SUV, this is serious business. Your barbecue is probably 10 times maybe more bigger, now you bought another little barbecue I would say, right? Specialty built for you, for your business? Yeah, we've got a competition smoker now that we're going to start with this spring, but we use it on a lot of caterings. But going back to the recipes, I've got a great friend of mine who I met here in my first business venture here in town, which is a little bar, he's from Oklahoma and his family has been in business since 1930 in the barbecue business. So a lot of my recipes came from him, so they're well tested, they've been there 85, the one on 88 years now. So, would you say this is like Saturn taste or what is this exactly? Well, Oklahoma, it's a dry rub, everything's dry rub and hickory smoke. Never baked, never boiled, it's just smoked. How many hours do you have to smoke like ribs? Ribs are around three and a half to four hours depending on the size. We do baby backs and St. Louis as well. St. Louis are the ones that came out of Oklahoma, we kind of threw the baby backs in for the East Coast kind of people. And what's the best seller? They sell about equal, we sell a couple of hundred racks of each a week, we have 35 seats, so we stay pretty busy. I think you did really well when bikers start showing up because they love the type of food and I think there's always a lot of bikes on your parking spaces. There's a lot of bikes, there's a lot of guys, golf outings, we always get the guys, we're a big guy hanging out for lunch and then they all bring their wives at dinner. Okay good, so you do what, I mean you do pick, you do chicken, you do sausages, just tell us a little bit. So everybody who's listening, their mouth is already watering right now. We do pulled pork is our specialty, we call ourselves home to pulled pork.

Hey, Andre. Thanks for listening to WCPT. What's up? Hey, Tom, how you doing? Happy Friday to you. Thank you. Back at you. Hey, Tom, I believe that Joe Biden administration need to do some opposition research and everything that Donald Trump does, they ought to use against them. And one thing that they should do is this. If Donald Trump and Joe Biden end up in a debate in 2024, what Joe Biden should do is he should invite E .J. and Carol. She should invite Ruby Freeman and say more in the Central Park faculty debates because Donald Trump invited those ladies that accused Bill Clinton of misconduct to this debate when he debated Hillary Clinton. All right. Psychological warfare. I'm with you, Andre. There you go. I don't think there's going to be a debate, though. I don't think you know, Donald Trump is starting to show really serious signs of dementia. Last week, he said that he beat Barack Obama in 2016. He forgot he ran against Hillary Clinton. And then he also talked about, you know, that something I forget what it was, but something start might World War Two. I apparently forgot about World War Two. I think he's he's having some problems right now. I get it. He's under a lot of stress. Yeah, I believe that. And I believe some of it is subliminal. He throws these things out there, this red meat for the base, just like he went and supposedly bat his gun. That was only to suggest that some of his followers go by guns. Well, he was also given props. He was also giving props to the gun store who sold the gun to the guy who murdered the three black people in Jacksonville. Yeah, that's the equivalent to DeSantis having a fundraiser for the guy who choked the man on the train. It's grim stuff. So opposition research is the key to defeating Trump. And hopefully there is a debate for that purpose only, Tom. But if there is no debate, then they got no challenges. And it's up to them. But if they do, I'll be tuning in to watch it for certain. There you go. Andre, thank you. Thank you for the call. Kino Florida. Kino, what's up? Hey, Tom, I got good news. Mother God recently woke up and she decided to recruit Diane Feinstein to help her know how to help humans. And so now our goal is to form a coalition. The Green Party can lead with joining a coalition with the Democratic Party and women, women in general, because the Green Party and Democratic men can treat women better than those Republicans. And I think we can convince a lot of those Trump supporting women to support a progressive presidency in the Green Party to test our mettle. I asked Joe Biden to give a job immediately to Cornel West and let's see how smart he is to help develop a progressive presidency for 24. Put him to work right away, let's test his mettle.

So you know how to do it? Yes, absolutely. And you know there is a reason for probably keep it on the size you have it because it's very limited on seating, it's very limited with employees, so you can focus on the quality and there is probably, the end is, you've been voted, as many people say, the best barbecue in Naples, so what is the special on that? Well, we decided in the beginning, the building was a breakfast lunch restaurant when we bought it and I've never been open for dinner, so we started opening lunch and dinner and we got rid of everything that we don't do, we got rid of salads, so we're basically just barbecue. If you smoke it, we got, so we just sell what we do. We don't try to be everything to everybody, we do barbecue, that's it. That is very simple? Yes. And you do the hot sauces? Everything is yours? Homemade sauce. Recipes? Everything. Really? I just have to tell everybody who is listening right now, we don't talk ordinary barbecue one like you can buy in the Costco and you roll it out at your parking lot, load it in your SUV, this is serious business. Your barbecue is probably 10 times maybe more bigger, now you bought another little barbecue I would say, right? Specialty built for you, for your business? Yeah, we've got a competition smoker now that we're going to start with this spring, but we use it on a lot of caterings. But going back to the recipes, I've got a great friend of mine who I met here in my first business venture here in town, which is a little bar, he's from Oklahoma and his family has been in business since 1930 in the barbecue business. So a lot of my recipes came from him, so they're well tested, they've been there 85, the one on 88 years now. So, would you say this is like Saturn taste or what is this exactly? Well, Oklahoma, it's a dry rub, everything's dry rub and hickory smoke. Never baked, never boiled, it's just smoked. How many hours do you have to smoke like ribs? Ribs are around three and a half to four hours depending on the size. We do baby backs and St. Louis as well. St. Louis are the ones that came out of Oklahoma, we kind of threw the baby backs in for the East Coast kind of people. And what's the best seller? They sell about equal, we sell a couple of hundred racks of each a week, we have 35 seats, so we stay pretty busy. I think you did really well when bikers start showing up because they love the type of food and I think there's always a lot of bikes on your parking spaces. There's a lot of bikes, there's a lot of guys, golf outings, we always get the guys, we're a big guy hanging out for lunch and then they all bring their wives at dinner. Okay good, so you do what, I mean you do pick, you do chicken, you do sausages, just tell us a little bit. So everybody who's listening, their mouth is already watering right now. We do pulled pork is our specialty, we call ourselves home to pulled pork.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ricky Skaggs (Encore)
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show with your host, Eric Metaxas. Sometimes you have the privilege of having a guest on the program who really is what we call a legend. And I never would say this if he were here because I wouldn't want to embarrass him, but the person that I'm going to interview in a couple of seconds, some of you know all about him. If you don't, you will very soon. His name is Ricky Skaggs. He is a legend in the music industry. He has 15 Grammy Awards in 1982. He was the youngest member ever at that time to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. When he was six years old, the father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, picked this six -year -old out and said, would you play for us? He went on to become a seven -year -old playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. There's videotape of it. In 1971, when he was still extremely young, teenager, went off to play with Ralph Stanley in his band. By about 1980, country legend Chet Atkins credited him, my guest Ricky Skaggs, with saving country music. Have you heard enough? He has played, performed, produced with Barry Gibb. Emmylou Harris in the 70s produced Dolly Parton, worked with Bruce Hornsby in the Amana Radar range. In 2021, the President of the United States gave him the National Medal of Arts. Again, I wouldn't say this if he was here in the studio, but he is a legend. And I'm very embarrassed to say I think he's right here in the studio. I never would have said this, Ricky, if I knew you were sitting here. Ricky, my new friend, welcome. It's great to be here, Eric. I was sitting there listening to you make all these nice things, and we could be talking about all kinds of other things. So anyway, I appreciate it, and you're a man of honor. I made a lot of this stuff up. I just want my audience to know this couldn't be true. So I'll have to live up to the things that you said. When you were six years old, now, you know, you're in your late 60s now. So when you were six years old, which would put us back about 1960, you played with Bill Monroe. That is very hard to comprehend. I know my dad bought me a mandolin when I was five. And so I learned, you know, why do you do that? I had been singing in church with him and mom since I was like three years old. And this is in old Kentucky. In Kentucky, and we would sing songs together at home. And then when we go to church, we'd get up and they would set me, literally set me on the pulpit, and I would sing harmony with mom and dad. They would set you on the pulpit. Yeah. See, up here, we'd say, put you up on the pulpit. But down there, they would set you on the pulpit. That sounds better. That sounds more American. But you, the reason I'm saying this is you obviously at that time already had a gift for harmonizing. You could hear and sing. And so they knew that they needed to encourage you. So your dad at age five gets you a mandolin. And already at age six, Bill Monroe is taking notice of you. Well, mom and dad and I would play at church, like I said. And then dad and I would go to this little local grocery store there in Blaine, Kentucky, and they would set me up on the pop case, you know, that had that. So it wasn't a pulpit. It was the pop case. That's the marketplace version. Right. Yeah. So I was getting I was getting my teeth ready for the marketplace back then. But I would sit and play and sing and people would want to get a Coke. So I'd have to scoot over and they, you know, it was a double door. And look, you were so cute. I saw the video of you I saw with flat and scrubs, which people can look up on YouTube. But I mean, you were so darn cute at age seven. And when he says, what's your name? You say, Ricky Skaggs. It's so cute. It's unbelievably cute. But even cuter is the song you sing. Because for a seven year old to sing a song about a broken heart and a woman who left me is funny. Yeah, I didn't understand those things back then. I just liked the song and the song was Ruby. Are you mad at your man? Ruby. Oh, Ruby. I mean, to hear you mad at your man and the 70 year old singing it while he's playing. And that's what I sung with the Bill Monroe thing. You know, it was a hit. Are you mad at your man? You know, the neighbors in the hood at this little high school for Bill Monroe was playing. And you know, they started shouting out after half hour, Mr. Monroe's set. They started shouting out, let little Ricky Skaggs get up and sing, you know. And my dad didn't plant these people, I promise you, you know. And anyway, I didn't even take a mandolin with me. So the irony of the whole thing is that I had to play this size mandolin. You had to play. I had to play his mandolin. You played Bill Monroe's mandolin when you were six years old? Six years old. And I, you know. Not many people can say that. He took the strap around and, you know, wrapped it around the curl here so that it would fit me. Right. Set it on me. And I said, you know, they said, what do you want to do? And I said, Ruby. And so it was a popular song by the Osborne brothers, Bob and Sonny Osborne. And so away we went, you know, and you know, no mistakes, no, you know, I didn't flip out, didn't faint or anything, fall on the floor, didn't drop his mandolin. Well, you were too young to be self -conscious, probably. Yeah, I didn't know what that was, you know. If you were 11, you would have just freaked out. I probably would have. But he sent me back off stage and then did his big famous Mule Skinner Blues just to rat me, show me up. No, I don't know that for sure. But I just, you know, the crazy thing about that is when I became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, they wanted me to take out of the, they got some, some instruments in a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum called the Precious Jewels. They have Earl Scruggs' banjo. They have Maybelle Carter's famous archtop. What? They still have that? Yeah. They have Bill Monroe's F5 mandolin in the case, so they took it out for me. Do they have Mother Maybelle's tortoiseshell combs? Maybe. I'm just kidding. But I mean, who knew that? Unless you're sitting here, I wouldn't know that they would have these objects. These are like sacred relics. But they let me play that same mandolin that I played when I was six years old. He kept that mandolin all his life. He got it in 1945, found it in a barber shop in Miami, Florida. Of all places, you know, to be in Miami, Florida, walking the streets, just out walking around, and happened to look in a barber shop with thousands of barber shops in Miami, Florida. So Bill Monroe found it in 1945. And went in and bought it for $200. And used it for the 15 years until he met you. Then he lets you play it. He keeps playing it, and today it still exists. Yeah, it does. And was busted up, and still, you know, Gibson put it back together meticulously. But it's amazing. And it just brought back so many memories. It almost closed a door, or closed a season of my life, you know, to play that mandolin at six years old, and then get to play it again, going into the most famous, you know. When did they induct you into the Country Music Hall of Fame? 2018. So they waited way too long. Shame on you. No, it's almost funny to me, because it is, you know, you, listen, if in 1980, Chet Atkins, the legend, you know, credits you with saving country music from the commercialization that it was undergoing because of the urban cowboy fad and John Travolta hiss. But it's just kind of funny to me, because you've been in this world, you know, forever. The idea that you were playing with Ralph Stanley, when you were just a kid, what was it, 1971, so you're like 17, were you still in high school? I mean, you're still in high school. Yeah. Did you graduate? No, I wanted to go to the Stanley School of Music, so I wanted to stay. We started, Keith Whitley and I started when we were 16, and played the summer with Ralph, and then we had to go back to school, and, you know, Ralph wanted us to go get our education, and I thought, man, this is the education I want right here, you know. I think a lot of people understand. Folks, I'm talking, in case you're just tuning in, this is Ricky Skaggs sitting here, we will continue the conversation on all kinds of subjects, don't go away.

Chris Farrell: "Counterintelligence Is Dead"
"Even do counterintelligence in America anymore? Counterintelligence is dead. It's gone. And here's all the ways that this story stinks in this weird. There are innumerable, but the notion that this guy, first of all, that The Washington Post found the teenage gamer kid. Stop it. He's under 18. He's under 18, they had to get his mom's permission to interview him. This is what Chris is talking about. The Washington Post has access to one of the kids on the gaming. Beat the FBI and everybody else cut one play cut. OG was not harsh to the U.S. government. However, he had disagreed with several occasions such as Waco and ruby ridge and thought that the government is overreaching in several aspects. I want to keep OG's identity secret because I still care for him like he's a family member. He is not a Russian operative. He's not a Ukrainian operative. I'll go as far to say he's not even on the east side of the world. Any claims that he is a Russian operative or pro Russian is categorically false. He is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the U.S. or other countries. He was a young charismatic man who loved nature God who loved shooting guns and racing cars.

"Thought you guys were completely insane. They weren't really terrified of me. They were terrified of him and my uncle. They weren't really terrified of me. They're terrified of the Sheik as well. And Luther, yes. So talk about some of that. Talk about the gimmick and how you scared. Well, I'll set it up. He used to come to the ring with a Hannibal lecter mask and a straitjacket. Now, you take it from there. It basically wheel him to the ring, just like the movie sounds like. He'd come out of the dressing room. So I wield my verdict. I got wheeled out. And then I just took that away. So I don't know, it would be as soon as I run out, people would just take off. So I would just follow everybody and it would be like hundreds of people just running. Even sometimes I'll be working in the ring, I would just look to go out in that whole side or just take off. Yeah. It was awesome. Yeah. It was awesome. I don't even care what happens in the ring now. I just want to do all that. They believed in his character so much. It's really worth looking up if you can see on YouTube. Like you said, he would just look at the crowd and they would run. Like Godzilla is walking through Tokyo or something. So Ricky Fuji brought a couple of the girl wrestlers into meet me and they were scared because I already done a whole tour and this was the second tour and they thought that that was really me. I was going to rip their face off as soon as they came in and then they met me and they were like super scared but it was cool. How did you come up with a gimmick? Did you think you needed something crazy to go to FMW or so you know I got the got the gig from wrestling you that when they came to watch and I didn't really have that kind of gimmick. So luscious Lenny Sinclair. From diamond springs, California. You guys see videos of that. Check it in, people drink it in. So I just knew I didn't really know anything about the company at all, except for what you guys have told me, and they said it's like a scary thing. So I just sort of took that from that movie a little bit, and just rolled with it. But, you know, I just learned, like I said when I got there, just watching what everyone else does. And as you know, with wrestling, wherever you're at, you have to be able to transition and adapt to what they're doing. And if you don't, you're not going to last long. And then I got to wrestle really good people. I got to rest inside you so many times. We wouldn't even have to talk about stuff. That's basically go in and do it and it was great. It was finished. Yeah, that was it. And so I was really blessed a lot with that and working godo was easy working on it was easy. And if you work on it and easy but step, those guys would kill us with chairs. Kill you. If you didn't protect yourself, you're knocked out. But it's all good. And even if you protected yourself, you got knocked out sometimes. That's true. And showed no mercy. There was the chairs that would pop out and then there's the chairs that you get hit ten times and nothing would even happen. But they were. And frontier martial arts wrestling like cybersecurity was called, so what they would use is they have a lot of wrestlers, but they have a lot of fighters, that knew nothing about wrestling, they would just stick the martial arts guys. My first match in FMW was a 6 man with a kickboxer kickboxer. The worst, the worst. My very first match in Japan ever. And I go to the ring and this guy, he had no front teeth, and he wore kickboxing shorts. And taped ankles. All he would do was didn't speak word English and he didn't talk to him before. He just went out to this guy who just kicking the shit out of him. He hated all of us. The foreigners hated foreigners. He didn't like working. I remember so he's kicking me out these beam up so bad. I was like, well, I'd seen a match earlier, like you said, where someone could just grab a chair and so I went out of the floor. I grabbed a chair, I hit the sky, it's hard as I could in the head. Hard as I could, and he looked at me like Mongo from blazing saddle. Why'd you do

"I don't think they did that in GCW. Do you have the tubes? Yeah, a few times, of course. That would be an easy CW. But they would just bring it from Home Depot and here we go. Get each other. But just that one freaked me out because I remember thinking like just like you, like I'll never take a lightbulb too. That's ridiculous, stupid. But then you get in there and it's a death match with Nick Gage and it's like forget your hit me with the damn lightbulb tube. But it's a little scary 'cause you don't know what it's gonna happen, right? Close your eyes, kid. Trust me. You're talking about the glass. I went through the glass in that match. And believe it or not, GCW doesn't have like a medical team or anything like that. So there was a nurse backstage who stitched me up and she told me they were dissolvable stitches. They were not. And I had infected. I got infected, and then when I went to the doctor, they were still pulling glass out of my back, like weeks later. It was like, you couldn't clean it out. It was horrible. She said you still have glass in your back. I'm sure there's still some weird pieces in my shoulder because there's like these little tiny pieces. And if you don't get them out right away and you heal up, that's it, pal. You're flung. You had any glass experience, ruby? Not any glass experience, but I have done tubes before I did queen of the death for IWA mid south. It was in the backyard of a strip club called the rustic frog. And 90° weather against a woman by the name of Lou dark, who I believe is from Mexico, and she's a crazy bitch. Like in the best way.

"I went from there. And I went from there. I was complete accident, not a plan. Because your uncle was as a shoe was the original chic. Legendary guy. Not the golden sheep. But he was also obviously known for being a very hardcore style crazy style. So he told you, go on the ring and get your heat back. So just do each of those Japanese tables, which you guys might not know. Are about an inch and a half thick. They are hard to break. Well, they're not too hard to break their heart to hit because they're so small. You have to hit them right in the middle of the break them, and it's hard to hit that middle sometimes, you know, sometimes you're overshooting. I remember being at a show and it took you like 5 or 6 tries to break one. And I kept thinking like, I felt sore for you for every time I was like, I feel sorry for listen to this. And Kawasaki stadium, 57,000 people. I'm wrestling Luther, me and my uncle's restaurant Lutheran Hannibal. I have Luther on a table. I was either, I'm gonna do a so far away. So far, I couldn't have made it if I prayed. I wasn't doing top rope moonsault othering through the table. But when I did it, my knee plastered them late in the head. It got me right in the chalk me out. Yeah, knocked him right out, but it worked. And so I don't remember. I don't remember getting back to the ring. I just remember getting hit with the moonsault and you say, kick out. And I didn't know where I was, nothing. Yeah, I apologize for that, but it's okay, man. But Chris, now on all these indie shows that I'm doing now, 'cause I'm still doing like street fights and stuff like that. Oh, he won death match, but I still do, you know, hardcore Netflix stuff like that. People can't get tables. You can't just go to Home Depot and get a table anymore. So it's just doors now. Everything is like, it's like they're using doors as the new doors doors. I feel like I'm a backyard wrestling game. I'm the chairs as it's able. You gotta start it because the other day and your guys match. They said there's no tables available. It will just go to Home Depot and buy it when you can't buy tables anywhere. You have to order them online and ship them to you. So they can walk into Home Depot anymore. That's really crazy. As I remember hearing that, just table. Or their plastic and it's just like a trampoline when you hit it. You bounce right out of it. So how did you have this death match? You mentioned with Nick Gage and I had a death match with Nick Gage as well. Nick's a great guy once again, he didn't make it on the trip. But here's the neck. But tell me about tell me about the match that you had because it wasn't crazy match. I watched it and I was thinking, oh my gosh. Yeah, so the opportunity was presented to wrestle Nick Gage. And I'm thinking, no way. Absolutely not. His Dark Side of the Ring just came out and I tried watching it. I couldn't even get through it. It was disgusting. I'm like, I don't want to wrestle criminal. This guy's gonna kill me, right? But I knew it would create buzz. I couldn't anticipate the amount of buzz it would create and change my whole career. The deathmatch king had one death match, right? But I'm like, yeah, I'll wear all white like white pants, like white pads, a white shirt. I get like a couple trickles of blood on there. I was sure it was red. It was drenched. I was covered in blood, but I loved it. I could understand why people I always thought why the people do this shit. And then when I was in there, the adrenaline and the fans and just seeing the blood and tasting the blood I loved it. But it was incredible.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Driving Social Media Censorship
"Guys, I'm back with Chris ruby, the CEO of ruby media group. And we're talking about digital censorship and how it's driven by these things called, well, algorithms, but also machine learning natural language processing, so called NLP. Chris, let me summarize what I think you're saying. And that is that the content of what people see on these social media platforms is being manipulated. I guess it's somewhat similar to saying that, you know, when you go to the grocery store, there are certain things that are put at eye level. And you can easily see those. And there are other things that are sort of tucked away and you can go looking for them. And there might be a way to find them, but they're being suppressed. They're not being encouraged. Let's put it that way. And you're saying that the grocery store, you know why they do that, they're trying to sell certain things, maybe they think there's a bigger market for this or for that, but here it's driven not only governmentally, but I think you're also saying ideologically. It works in a manner that discriminates against conservatives. Is that a correct summary of what's going on? And if so is exposure of this enough or are there some steps that need to be taken can the house GOP do something? In other words, how do we stop this? Yes, I would say that what you said is accurate. I would also say that 99% of takedowns on social media platforms are really starting with machine learning. That's what was so concerning here. If we look at the data that I shared, that data, by the way, is not data that anyone reported. Okay, so when we were 2000 mules over and over again, no one is reporting a tweet that says 2000 mules. This is an algorithm through natural language processing in the background. If you use a series of words, including 2000 mules, it's automatically being flagged.

Media Consultant Kris Ruby Exposes the Role of AI in Censorship
"Chris, welcome to the podcast great to have you. I think I came across this fascinating thread that kind of got me onto the work you were doing. It was initially merely a conversation that you were having a back and forth with a whistleblower at Twitter. A talk a little bit about how you found the whistleblower and also what was the upshot of that conversation. Sure. So thanks so much for having me on the show. You're correct. And that it did start out with a just a conversation about some things that were going on at Twitter. And I really wanted to understand what guano mint in Barry Weiss reporting when I saw that on the back end and that screenshot and from there, I had a thousand other questions once I understood that I had to do with machine learning. So really, that screenshot, I had more questions than we were really given answers. And that's what started my research and reporting here. And from there, I discovered and received many files pertaining to how Twitter used artificial intelligence and natural language processing and machine learning to essentially moderate content, deemed to be political misinformation.

"With us is Jack Roth, who is the author of killing Kennedy exposing the plot to cover up and the consequences and Jack Roth joins us now. Jack, welcome to the program. Thank you. Thanks for having me on Charlie. I appreciate it. From a young age, I was convinced that there was more to the story when it came to the assassination of Kennedy. It's very obvious to me for a variety of reasons. But tell us about your book and make the kind of layman argument for someone that is not really in the weeds of the zapruder film and Kevin Costner's rendition of it and actually walking in downtown Dallas and seeing the Texas school book school book depository in the grassy Knoll. What is the kind of short version of why you think there was more to the story when it came to the JFK assassination? Yeah, well, I think you have to start with the idea of being a critical thinker when you think about these types of things. And for me, I was like you. I was born in 65, you're younger than me. But I missed the assassination by two years. But I always felt since I was young kid that there was something not right. And that's just by using common sense. The idea that Jack Ruby would get into that police station and shoot Oswald take Oswald out. So now there's no trial, right? Oswald can't talk anymore. So there was so much to it. And over the years I read, I'd read more and I'd read more. But I felt that there was even as time goes by, right? We're reaching the 60th anniversary this year. And I felt that still mattered. And I felt like it was important to reach other people and document some interesting things and present that. The fact that there have been ripple effects that have changed this country since that day,

"Despite 60 years of name calling those questions have not disappeared In fact they have multiplied with time And here's one of them In April of 1964 a psychiatrist called Lewis Joel and west visited Jack Ruby in his isolation cell in a Dallas jail According to west's written assessment he found that Jack Ruby was quote technically insane and in need of immediate psychiatric hospitalization Those are conclusions that puzzlingly no one who had spoken to Jack Ruby previously had reached ruby had seen perfectly sane to the people who knew him Lewis Joel and west pronounced him crazy But what west did not say was that he was working for the CIA at the time Lewis joy and west was a contract psychiatrist for the spy agency He was also an expert on mind control in a prominent player in the now infamous MKUltra program in which the CIA gave powerful psychiatric drugs to Americans without their knowledge So if all the psychiatrists in the world what in the world was this guy doing in Jack Ruby's prison cell The media did not seem interested in finding out In fact The New York Times in an extensive 1999 obituary of west never mentioned the fact that he had worked for the CIA much less his time in Jack Ruby's cell Which seems relevant So you can see why non crazy people would wonder about what really happened And of course many have wondered You know I find one of the easiest ways to decimate faith in institutions the FBI and the CDC and otherwise Is to lie get caught lying and lie about getting caught lying And in lie about getting caught lying about the lie in the first place

Tucker Carlson: What Was the CIA's Role Regarding the JFK Files?
"Here is Tucker's opening segment on the JFK files and asking a question What was the CIA's role in this Check this out So not long after Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald on camera in the basement of Dallas police headquarters A lot of Americans started to have some questions about the Kennedy assassination It was you have to admit a pretty extraordinary sequence of events A lone gunman murders the president of the United States and then less than 48 hours later that lone gunman is himself murdered by another lone gunman What are the odds of that It's one thing if you get struck by lightning rare but possible But if every member of your family also gets struck by lightning all on different days you might begin to suspect these are not entirely natural events But oh replied the U.S. government they are this bizarre chain of killings was all entirely natural Less than a year after the JFK assassination that Johnson White House released something called the Warren commission report and the report concluded that while their motives remained unclear both Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby had acted alone No one helped them There was no conspiracy of any kind Case closed time to move on And many many Americans did move on At the time they had no idea how shoddy and corrupt the Warren commission was It would be nearly 50 years before the CIA admitted under duress that in fact it had withheld information from investigators about its relationship with Wii Harvey Oswald Okay okay that part's the most interesting part of that What was the CIA's relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald

"ruby" Discussed on Crime Junkie
"Dot com slash crime junkie. On September 11th, 2020, less than three years after the initial murder charges were dropped, Richard is once again charged with the first degree murder of ruby doss. Spoken county prosecutors refiled the charges based on what they say is new DNA evidence. Now initially, it isn't really clear what this new evidence might be, even Richard's defense attorney seems to be kind of in the dark about what's going on, like in an interview with Caitlyn napp of KXL Y he basically says that he's heard there might be new lab reports, but he's never seen them, and they're not included in the court documents. So Richard, once again, pleads not guilty, and while awaiting trial, it seems like he is never actually held in custody. The trial itself doesn't begin until more than a year later on November of 2021. And that's when we finally learn more about the new evidence that has caused the prosecutors to refile. According to Emma eberle's reporting in the spokesman review that used condom that apparently went missing, well, it actually didn't go missing at all. It was destroyed during the testing process back in 1989, but the envelope that it was kept in was preserved. So without the condom itself still around a test, investigators decided to try their luck on the envelope. And when the envelope was retested, they found a sample of Richard's DNA. The prosecution and the defense deliver opening statements on November 30th. The prosecution, of course, focuses primarily on the DNA evidence, as well as statements that Richard had made to friends, placing him with ruby around the time of her death, and the defense again tries to discredit the DNA evidence due to the missing condom, but they also continue to present Richard's air force records as evidence. They say that he was in South Korea at the time of ruby's murder. In following these opening statements, the prosecution calls to the stand a string of officers from both Spokane county and Pasco. Spokane officers recount all of the major steps of their investigation since 1986, and during that testimony lead investigator kip Holland Beck discusses one of his visits to Richard's home in 2015, and he says, quote, he told me he was married in 1986 to another member of the air force. He told me he was upset because the air force wasn't going to send her with him when he was deployed to South Korea. He told me he was deployed in February of 1986. Additionally, the prosecution shows reports from a counselor that Richard met with in April of 1986. And in those reports, the counselor notes that Richard arrived in Korea in late, February of 1986. So again, just to kind of put this all in perspective, ruby was murdered in January of 1986, so it definitely seems to further punch holes in the defense's argument that Richard was out of the country at the time. And after kip's testimony, the jury hears from a Pasco police sergeant who had known Richard since 2005 when they first worked together. And he tells the jury that when Richard was first suspected of ruby's murder, he and Richard had discussed the case, and apparently Richard told him, quote, yeah, I knew her, and she was alive when I left. Another Pasco officer testifies that Richard told him he had sex with ruby, but didn't murder her. And after hearing from these officers, the jury next heroes from a forensic expert who worked on the case. And he goes into further detail regarding the used condom and why they're more confident about it today than they were even back in 2017 when the charges were dropped. She says that although they no longer have access to the original condom, the envelope was kept and tested for DNA and the swab found mixtures of both male and female DNA. Now back in 2017, the technology wasn't there to accurately compare this mixture to Richard, which is why the charges were dropped, but in 2018, a new type of testing became available that allowed the lab to confirm that the sample was most certainly a mixture of ruby doss DNA and Richard aguirre's DNA. But the defense presses her on some of the other details in this case, specifically they ask if Richard's DNA was found anywhere else, other than the used condom and its envelope. Was it found on any of the other items at the crime scene? Was it found on ruby's body under her fingernails? And the expert says, no. There were no other samples that matched Richard's DNA, although there were other samples found on ruby's body. But when tested, they didn't provide a match with anyone in the system. Now this might naturally raise some red flags, but the jury also hears from a store clerk who sold ruby that single condom shortly before her death. And he says that that was around 9 p.m. or later, and we know ruby's body was found at around ten 30 p.m. that night. Like there's just such a short window of time for this murder of taking place that it seems unlikely it could be anyone but the person whose DNA was found at the scene in that condom. In closing arguments, the prosecution of course focuses on the DNA match, the fact that Richard himself told his friends and colleagues about his interaction with ruby, and whether she was alive or not when he left the scene, they argue that his actions caused her death. And in turn, the defense points out that the DNA in the condom is the only evidence linking Richard to the scene, and they also argue that the prosecution has failed to produce any kind of motive for Richard to murder ruby. The jury begins deliberations on the morning of Wednesday, December 8th. By the time Thursday afternoon rules around, they are deadlocked, and they say that there's absolutely no way that they can reach a verdict. And so the defense actually files for a mistrial, which the judge grants, and a new trial is set for March of 2022, although it was later delayed until May. And that's where the case remains to this day, even though you'll note it's way past may. More than 36 years have passed since ruby's murder. Richard's second trial did not get underway in May of this year as expected. After some digging into the court records, we've learned that it's now set to begin in November of this year. We'll, of course, be keeping an eye on this case. And if there are any updates, we'll be sure to share those on social and our headlines episodes in the fan club. But in the meantime, I can't help but think of ruby and the many years that she went without justice. And I think it's easy for us to hear about this case and think, well, there's nothing that could have been done until Richard's DNA was entered into the system. And of course, that was a huge important development, but I also keep thinking back to Richard's friend. The one who heard Richard talk about violently choking and beating a woman. And he chose to say nothing until after Richard was accused of ruby's murder. We'll never know what influenced that friend's decision to say nothing. We'll never know how it might have changed the investigation if he had spoken up earlier. But we do know that Mary Ann Turner and Kathleen de hartz murders still remain unsolved, and we also know that hoping and waiting for a magical DNA match is not the only way to solve a cold case. Someone out there might know something about those women's murders too, and they're afraid to come forward. Even if what you think you know is trivial, it is important to report information like this. Because what might seem trivial to you could be the missing piece of information that leads to justice for people like ruby

"ruby" Discussed on Crime Junkie
"Honestly, things are really quiet, even after a $2000 reward is offered for information a month later. But even that doesn't help. And I think there are a number of possible explanations for this. I mean, we all know by now that police don't necessarily have the greatest track record when it comes to taking crimes involving sex workers as seriously as they should. I mean, that's true today, but especially true a few decades ago when ruby was killed. But it could also be that witnesses themselves are less likely to come forward and talk to authorities if they're worried about being implicated in or associated with sex work. Ultimately, though, it's hard for anyone to ignore ruby's case, because in November of 1986, another woman, 30 year old Mary Ann Turner, is found murdered in Spokane's east side. Like ruby, she was a sex worker based in the same area, and like ruby, she was found strangled. And then, there are more victims. Over the course of about 20 months after ruby's murder 5 other women are found strangled to death in Spokane. Two of them, Mary Ann and a woman named Rochelle English are sex workers. Another named Kathleen dehart had worked at a topless bar and the other two victims, Dorothy burdett and Nadine Johnson don't seem to have any known connection to sex work. Now, investigators are clear that at this point, they don't have any evidence to suggest that this is the work of a single serial killer or anything like that. Yes, there are some similarities between the victims, but there are also differences in how each murder was carried out. Like one of the victims had been sexually assaulted while that wasn't confirmed in any of the other cases. And some of the victims were found outside, like ruby, while others were found inside apartments. So to police, the cases are distinct enough that it doesn't really scream serial killer to them. But I know a lot of you crime junkies out there are probably connecting some dots right now. Washington state, 1980s, a series of sex workers murdered by strangulation that's gotta be ringing some green river killer bells, and you're not alone. According to Bill Moreland's reporting for the spokesman review, the green river task force is interested in these murders, although they also don't necessarily think the similarities are enough to say it's the work of a serial killer either. Much less their serial killer. And it's also important to remember that the green river killer primarily worked in the Seattle area, which is literally the opposite side of Washington state from Spokane where these murders are taking place. So the green river task force ultimately stays uninvolved and these murders remain unsolved and don't even get a lot of press or attention over the next few years. Although, a couple of years later, there is an interesting development in ruby's case that catches the task force's attention. In November of 1989, investigators are looking into the suicide of a Spokane county assistant public defender named Dale wells. So while looking into this, they come across this guy named Terry herrick, who runs a locomotive, and according to Terry, he remembers Dale coming to this motel and looking for ruby about a week before her murder. Now, at the time, Dale's story two Terry, why he was coming around looking for her was that ruby had stolen a wallet from a Spokane police officer and he was just trying to get it back. And not like for any upstanding reasons. Apparently he was trying to avoid word getting around that this police officer had been with a sex worker. But Terry wasn't able to help him, he told Dale that ruby had been staying at this motel, but had recently moved to a different motel on east Sprague. And that was the end of it. Even following ruby's murder, Terry didn't think it was anything significant. Until he learned of Dale's death in the news. And that's when their interaction all those years ago took kind of a whole new meaning on for him. And he called investigators with this information. Now, another reason that Dale feels like a very strong lead is because they learn that he was good friends with a man named William Stevens junior, like so close they would often spend holidays together. But at the time, William was also considered a lead suspect in the green river killings. Now, in hindsight, we all know that Gary Ridgway was the true green river killer, not William Stevens junior. But at the time, this feels like too big of a coincidence for investigators to ignore. And so Dale becomes their primary suspect and they begin looking into his possible involvement in ruby's death, or at least that's what I assume. It's kind of hard to say because ruby's case goes without any public updates for years. Years that her daughter is growing up without any clear answers as to what happened to her mother. And then, out of nowhere, in March of 1996, this is more than ten years after ruby's murder. Kim baker reports for the spokesman review that a man named Robert Clark has been charged with the strangling murder of Rochelle, English. Now if you remember Rochelle was one of the 5 other women who were strangled in Spokane in the months following ruby's murder. Though, police still maintain that these cases are not connected, and it seems like maybe they're not, because he goes down for her murder, and that's truly as close as we get to an update on ruby, so he's never connected to ruby's case. But in 2008, they start to revisit that idea. What if these cases are connected after all? In May of that year, Jody Lawrence Turner reports for the spokesman review that investigators believe there could be a connection between Robert Clark's murder of her shell English, and the murders of ruby dos, Mary Ann Turner, Dorothy burdett, Kathleen de Hart, and another woman named Linda Lewis, who was murdered in 1995. So now in 2008, all of a sudden they're saying that these cases actually do share many similarities. Obviously, the victims were all strangled, but they also suffered head wounds and apparently most were sexually assaulted. Now, I'm not sure if they knew this all along and just weren't telling the news outlets. I guess this is information they were holding back, or if something new was actually found when they were reworking the cases. It's not super clear from the source material. But either way, here's the scoop. While serving time for rachelle's murder, Robert Clark had confessed to the murder of another woman in Illinois. And I think police see this as proof that at least Rochelle's murder wasn't an isolated incident. And so maybe this is what got them to take another look at all of the cases. So like I said, one of the big things that's standing out to detectives is that all of these women were strangled. Detective kip Holland Beck tells the spokesman review, quote, the vast majority of the murders are gunshots, knife wounds, and blunt trauma, strangulation is not one of the top ways. When strangulation is involved, it's common that it is the same person because they get off on it for some reason. Now, this doesn't mean though that there's any new evidence at this point that connects Robert Clark to these other murders. In fact, in that same article, detective Holland Beck says their theory is purely circumstantial, but still, investigators from Spokane visit Robert in Illinois to question him and see if he'll confess to the other murders, but no luck. So without any physical evidence or a confession, investigators seen to hit a dead end, yet again. However, a couple of years later, in October of 2010, another arrest is made. And this arrest gives them the only new lead that they can find. A man named Gary trimble is arrested in Lincoln Montana for a probation violation. And during his arrest, he's asked to provide a DNA sample which gets entered into the national database, and wouldn't you know it, that sample is a match for semen that was found at the scene of Dorothy burdett's murder in Spokane. Now, of course, everyone wants to know if this man could be responsible for all of the other unsolved strangulations in Spokane, including rubies. And according to Angela Brandt's reporting in the mausoleum, police are absolutely looking into that. After all, we know there was a used condom found near ruby's body, so maybe now all of these years later, there could finally be a match. But there isn't. Gary trembles DNA is not a match for the used condom, and he's never connected to ruby's death or any other of the murders around the same time. And so once again, ruby's murder and the others go unsolved. Year after year passes without an update. Until one day, seemingly out of nowhere, ruby's case blows wide open.

In January of 2015, down in Pasco, a city in Franklin county about a couple hours south of Spokane, officials are investigating a police officer, named Richard a Gary for sexual assault. Now, just like Gary trimble, Richards DNA is collected as part of that investigation and just like Gary trimble, Richard's DNA is submitted to a national database, and just like Gary trimble, Richard's DNA matches another sample found at a Spokane crime scene. Only this time, it matches the DNA pulled from the used condom found near ruby's body. Franklin county officials notify the Spokane police right away and they start gearing up their investigation and getting a better sense of who this guy is and how he and ruby might have crossed paths back in 1986. What they learn is that prior to joining the Pasco police, Richard was a member of the U.S. Air Force, and at the time of ruby's death, he was actually stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base, which is just 12 miles southwest of Spokane. Now eventually, Richard is notified about this DNA match, and although he denies any involvement in ruby's death, he does decide to resign from the Pasco police department. It isn't until May of 2015 that authorities decide to go public with the new development in ruby's case. But first, they contact ruby's daughter, Keisha, who by now is around 30 years old, and they inform her of the development before any charges are filed. Now, even though at this point they haven't filed charges against Richard for ruby's death, he still has that sexual assault charge hanging over him, which he pleads not guilty to, and he's released on his own recognizance. In an interview with the spokesman review, Richard's attorney also maintains Richard's innocence in ruby's murder, and he says, quote, it's really hard to remember a lot of specific details from 30 years ago, but he believes he was an acquaintance of miss doss. Which like, no kidding. His semen was found in a condom near her abandoned body. Now around the same time that this is all happening and he's being released, police are talking to some of Richard's friends and family, and they provide even more details about his life in Spokane back in 1986. Richards sisters say that in the wake of the new allegations being made public, Richard had told them he once had a sexual encounter with a woman around the time of ruby's murder, but he can't say for certain if that woman was ruby, which seems like the most like vague way to try and cover your own butt, like, yeah, you know, I had sex with someone in 1986, might have been her, who's to say, but one of Richard's friends tells police something disturbing. More than this like, oh, I might have won upon a time BS. He says that he and Richard would often visit E Sprague to frequent strip clubs, and then they would pick up sex workers, and Richard told him that he had once hit a woman in the head and choked her, but he told him that he believed she was still alive and moving when he left. So here's a fun question. Why on earth wouldn't this friend go to the police with that information before now? I mean, even if Richard had been adamant that the woman was still alive and even if this friend was unaware of ruby's murder, I mean, this is still a vicious assault that Richard described to him, so just so we're on the same page. This isn't the kind of behavior you just like right off. Ultimately, this information combined with the DNA match is enough for police to feel like they can officially make their move. And on June 2nd, Richard is in a hearing regarding the sexual assault case when three Spokane police officers enter the courtroom and place him under arrest for ruby's murder, and the next day he is officially charged with first degree murder. Just after Richard a Gary's arrest, homicide investigators are conducting a search of his property. And during that search, they seize cell phones and computers, and that's when they find something disturbing. Something they truly didn't expect. There, on Richard's phone, are thousands of sexually explicit photos and hundreds of videos that he had taken with both men and women, and these aren't run of the mill sex tapes. According to Mike prager's reporting, in the spokesman review, when investigators see on these recordings suggest Richard had committed a number of other crimes, including rape and voyeurism. Investigators are able to identify some of the people depicted on the recordings, but they actually publicly call for any witnesses to come forward to confirm whether or not the acts capture on video were consensual. And that call out works. Suddenly, Spokane police are receiving call after call from both men and women who are concerned that they might have been recorded without their consent. I mean, in one of the videos a man in a motel room can actually be heard fearfully saying over and over again that he does not want to be recorded, and the man tells investigators that although the sex was consensual, he absolutely did not agree to be recorded. And it's actually this video that ultimately leads to Richard being officially charged with voyeurism on June 6th. Again, through his attorney, Richard denies the allegation and says that any sexually explicit recordings were made with permission. But this is really just the beginning of what investigators are able to uncover following their search of Richard's phone. Through searches of his Internet history, detectives learn that Richard visited websites depicting violent rape. And they also are able to identify and contact some of Richard's former partners who confirm that he would choke them during sex. Nina Culver reports in the spokesman review that some of these exes say the choking was light, while others actually feared for their lives. As investigators are, once again, deciding whether or not to add more charges against Richard, they learn from one of his former girlfriends that he may have also engaged in witness tampering. She says that she visited Richard at his house back in April following a police search of his home, and there he told her that he was a suspect in ruby's murder, but denied any involvement. And then he gave her $2000 and apologized for his treatment of her when they were together. And like this isn't enough, after his arrest, Richard was recorded on telephone calls with his sister discussing this former girlfriend and encouraging his sister to find her contact information. So police allege that he knows this woman is likely going to be a witness, and he was hoping to influence her testimony about their time together. Whether by getting her to change what she was going to say or by getting her to not say anything at all. So, on July 1st, 2015, Richards charges are updated once again. In addition to first degree murder and voyeurism, now he's also facing charges for tampering with a witness. And as part of these updated charges, the prosecution also requests that Richard have no contact with any members of the Pasco police department. And that's all part of this like little side scandal that I probably should just mention briefly. Basically, the prosecution alleges that members of the Pasco police department, former colleagues of Richards, have been feeding him information on the investigation. Now, Richard, his attorney and the Pasco police department all vehemently deny this, but the prosecution remains firm and says that this is something that happened. Unfortunately, though, that's kind of all the information I can find on this specific incident. And it doesn't lead to any official charges, and there are never any concrete details released around what information was apparently leaked, if any. Now a couple of weeks after this, so on July 15th, Richard officially enters a plea of not guilty. Although by this point, the first degree murder charge has been actually reduced to second degree, and the witness tampering charge seems to have kind of been dropped entirely. It's not even mentioned. And I can't figure out like there are no details in the source material about why the charge was reduced. It's kind of honestly just mentioned as an aside and a few articles, even though it feels like a pretty big development to me. And just to know, even though this guy was a police officer doesn't seem like the prosecution has been playing favorites with Richard. So I have to assume that maybe they just felt like their chances of a conviction were better with a second degree charge. And I don't know if this was like a negotiation between prosecution and defense or what. But after that, after this not guilty plea, nothing seems to happen for months. That isn't until March of 2016 when there's an update in the case, and honestly it was a pretty big one. Richards attorney files a motion to have the murder charge dropped, claiming that he has evidence Richard wasn't even in the country at the time of ruby's death. Now I mentioned earlier prior to joining the police department Richard was a member of the air force and he was stationed near Spokane when she died. Well, according to Richard's attorney, he actually didn't stay in Spokane. He was deployed to South Korea, and to prove it, he produces a performance report that lists Richard's reporting period at osan air base in South Korea as beginning on December 24th, 1985 and ending on December 23rd, 1986. In other words, this document says that Richard was on a different continent beginning a month before ruby's murder. Now obviously, this is a huge development, but it's not quite The Rock solid alibi you might expect. First of all, you can not ignore that Richard's DNA was found at the crime scene. But also the prosecution argues that a reporting period at a specific air base isn't the same as actually being at the air base. In fact, they produce medical and dental records showing that Richard received care at the Spokane base as late as January 16th, 1986. And not only that, but as I said earlier, Richard himself has already mentioned a family and friends that he had a sexual encounter with a woman who may or may not have been ruby around the time of the murder. So even he has made claims that don't line up with his alibi. Ultimately, this supposed alibi isn't strong enough for the court to dismiss the case, and both sides prepare to go to trial. Although the prosecution does file a motion to have the trial delayed, which seems to work as it's more than a year before there's another update on the case. Now in that year's time, Richard is released on bail and also exonerated on the unrelated sexual assault charges that led to his DNA sample being collected in the first place. Additionally, the voyeurism charges are dropped, though according to Rachel Alexander's reporting in the spokesman review, investigators are still investigating whether or not they're able to press any additional voyeurism charges. And I think those are particularly difficult to pursue because it can be difficult to find victims who are willing to cooperate due to the fear of being publicly exposed and embarrassed, which we know is something investigators dealt with on this case. Okay, so just to recap, at this point, Richard is just facing the second degree murder charge. But then in December of 2017, he's not even facing that, because suddenly, the prosecution drops the charge entirely. Now, obviously, the prosecution's case has always been hinged on the used condom DNA sample. But according to emotion to dismiss that was filed by the prosecution, quote recent DNA results raise significant evidentiary issues. Therefore, in the interests of justice, it is respectfully requested that the above named matter be dismissed without prejudice. Okay, so these significant evidentiary issues aren't elaborated on in the court documents. But according to Jonathan Glover's reporting in the spokesman review, it may stem from the condom itself going missing at some point after the DNA was extracted in 1989. Now, the prosecution says that the condom itself doesn't really matter since the DNA was extracted and processed. But it seems that the issue at play here is that without the condom, the defense isn't able to do their own testing. But the way that the charges are dropped, it allows the prosecution the opportunity to recharge Richard in the future if there are any changes or new evidence. And it just so happens that they actually do plan to recharge him. This episode is made possible by sleep number. You guys I officially have it dialed in.

AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
How AJ's Mother Got Him Hooked on Gossip
"When I was a little boy, my mother never read me children's books. She read me the gossip pages from the four dailies. We had delivered to our home. And as she licked her thing is through the pages of the New York Post, the daily news, the Long Island press, and newsday, she exposed me to a world that I knew I had to be a part of. Now, what could a little boy possibly have in common with Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, Tom Jones, or Cher? Well, apparently everything. To me, those big names in bold print who were always in the news weren't people as much as they were invitations into a world. I knew I had to live in, or at least visit from time to time. So before I bolted out of the house to play with my friends in the schoolyard, I would sit at the kitchen table with my mother as she read out loud the papers gossip columns to me. Cindy Adams Liz Smith, wrote a Barrett. I love to hear where movie star spent their summers. What films they were making, where they ate, and who they were in love with. And of course, some of the gossip artists would have just fallen flat. Had it not been for the comical side of my father who would sprinkle in some jokes now and then. You know, a simple mention from my mother about, say, Joe DiMaggio would turn into a detailed screed that my father would deliver from across the room. He'd say, he was the greatest ballplayer in the world, ruined by a Hollywood whore. And as soon as my mother took the side of mala Monroe, he digging deeper. Look, the guy goes to surprise his wife with roses on a movie set one day. He gets there. He gets there and sees 5000 people staring at her panties while they're blowing wind up her ass from under a subway grating for half an hour. And that was that, three weeks later, he filed for divorce, and he was never the same man. Is that true, man? Unfortunately, yes, on this set of the 7 year rich. Yeah, she had literally all right, my father would say. And everybody scratched it. Mickey Rooney, you will bring a Tony Curtis brandel Monty cliff uncle mill to even Ruby Rose is scratched that itch. It was my mother who made me crazy about gossip. Without her, there's no gossip column. There's no book. There's no podcast, no nothing. Who knows right?

"ruby" Discussed on Ruby on Rails Podcast
"There's anything that like. I am worried about in the community. I think that trying to think not just about oh is ruby on rails fast enough but really like is it meeting the kinds of business needs and the ways of working that people have what opened my eyes to ruby on rails was reading agile web development with rails which was really just about like. How do you iterative lead. Deliver business value. And i think that's the sort of thing just is rubio's actually serving the businesses that exist today and i do think it is. I have a friend who's just way more famous than me on the internet. They joined the stealth mode startup and their team was like building application in rust because it was fast and they've been doing it for like almost two years that they were in stealth mode and i was probably a jerk of a friend. Because i was like you should just use rubio rails on rails use ruby on rails and i finally wore them down to the point. They were like okay. Ben i will try ruby on rails and they ended up rebuilding the entire application in just a few weeks. I think it was was like two and a half weeks. And i think those are the kind of stories that i want. More people to be telling about ruby on rails are not just like the o. Is at fast enough. Doesn't have this feature but really just look. This is what we built our business on. And i think that sort of thing is just. That's the place ruby on rails is that it's like this is a great tool for the things that people are trying to do in life. Absolutely so ben. How can listeners. Follow you if you wanna follow me personally. I'm all over the place. I'm ben sheldon on twitter. You can follow my blog island. Ninety four dot org. If you become a good hub sponsor i will send you newsletters by. I just want to warn people that i'm like. My blog is all over the place in terms of just like the things that i read the things that i heard if you're looking for developer kind of stuff. That's probably not what you're looking for. If so i think the best thing is essentially for good job go. Click the watch button on the project on get hub or become a getup sponsor because for the most part that sponsor stuff is me talking about good job fantastic. Then thank you so much for all the work that you have put into. Good job is was really exciting. To have you on the podcast. And as far as i know this is your first podcasts.

Scout will donate five dollars the open source project of your choice when you deploy learn more at scout. Apm dot com slash ruby on rails. So i'm curious. What does the life of an open source. Maintain are currently look like for you when you start with a little bit of a privileged check. So i have a day job. I mentioned i've been doing this now for twenty years so i'm fairly stable and mid career comfortable i'm married my wife and i are trying to have kids. I made this gem because it seemed like something fun and help pull i can do. It really isn't in my mind like a stepping stone to something else in my career. Like i'm living the life i live and loving it and so i guess. Let me answer this by an interview question. I love which is walked me through a good day and walk me through a bad day so like a great day for me honestly as an open source maintain her is. I don't work on good job. I don't think about good job. It's a library. It's been out eighteen months. And when i launched it i did have cold sweats at night. That like somebody would open some. Get hub issue. That's like you were a giant fraud and this doesn't work and it never could've worked but it's been out for a while. i started. Have confidence in it. That it's gonna work and it's not going to bring up any big surprises so if i can put out of my mind. That's a great day. I think a good day is like the more realistic thing where i'll spend. Maybe an hour on it in the morning kind of just respond to some issues. I really try to make a point of being responsive. Somebody opened up an issue. Even if what. I'm saying like thanks. I'll look into it. I want people to feel like that. It is actively maintained gems. And that's one of my frustrations won the open source world. You open an issue in you. Get radio silence. That's even worse than i think somebody telling you know this is an important or not a priority is like you just literally get no feedback. So i really try to prioritize acknowledging that somebody wants to make something better. And i would just say for folks. If you do a good job. I really appreciate when people give me feedback. All maybe post in issue in good job or a get hub discussion. Or i'll ask a question in the ruby on rails lynch slack and just like somebody saying hey thanks for this or reacting with a heart or something that literally makes my day a heart reaction. The thumbs up reaction. Give me one of those. And that's a great day. Okay walking through a bad day. Those are like somebody like drive by issues where they leave you. Two pages worth of feedback just like this is a terrible idea. You've done it all wrong. And once i pick myself off the floor and it's oh you obviously spend a lot of time in the. Tell me more helped me understand what you're trying to do and you just never hear back from them. So that's i think the bad day where someone else comes in drive-by dumps and like you just never know anything more about a problem. That's like super hard. And so i think the working in the code working in the get hub but there's like a lot of other good stuff around just kind of like thinking about. I'm to say air quote marketing but just doing a write up about good jobber like posting a toronto kinda just like interacting with people on the the rails linked slack or like with this two point zero release trying to share just that it happened with various newsletters being here today quite literally talking about good job. I feel uncomfortable like talking about marketing. Because i feel like. I've been brainwashed to believe that. It's oh you build it. They will come or that. There's something sort of like dishonest about marketing. But i guess the way that. I have been trying to d program myself. Is that sort of like evangelizing. Sharing the good news. Like marketing is definition. I heard it's a transfer of exuberance and as you're hearing you're like i'm super excited about good job. I think it's really good to know about it. And so i think that is just like part of the work of gem maintainers of authorship is a shouting from the rooftops. Hey i think this thing is like pretty. Good so yeah. i think that's who. I want to mention just like the marketing is an important aspect of like building. Something that you actually do want people to use. And i think all athletes say like i mentioned this earlier about just like building on the shoulders of giants building a rails engine is not that challenging. I've tried my hands like before in just little like ruby. Glue helper gems. I had a gem that would help you like modify markdown per jekyll and i remember really struggling with that sort of stuff from that. It was just like pure ruby but with good job. Active support is such a wonderful crutch and writing a rails engine. there's a whole set of documentation for. There's like a generator for it. And it's just like really nights and like appraisal is a tool for you to test against multiple versions of gems. Like i test good. Job against ruby on rails. Five point two six point zero six point one like the rails main branch and it just. I don't know. I'm not sure if this is like my level of confidence as a ruby on rails developer or just that the ecosystem is in a really nice place. But i've been shocked by light. Small amounts of pain that actually had in like building. This gem that's awesome. I love to hear that. I'm glad to hear that there are good people out there in the community supporting you and speaking of how can listener support good job. Yeah if you're starting up a new application like if you're in our place to try it go try installing. Go read the read me. I think it's down to six bullet points since the getting started open issues open up discussions like i say. I really want to try to be really responsible. Things blogger tweet about it. i think. Probably the smallest individual thing you can do. That would be super helpful. As if you're interested go start on. Get hub i think. Like number of stars on Hub is like the strongest signal of legitimacy on open source project. That number of stars on gift hub is what determines where it shows up on like the ruby toolbox website. I think that also is a way to convince rails core that may be good job should be listed as an adapter in their documentation. They put a freeze on listing. Other adapters so right now. The only adapters if you go look in the ruby on rails docs are all of the adapters. That launched prior to active job. I guess you know. I'm saying oh good. Job is like the first active job back into come out after it. But they like kind of explicitly. Said we're not going to add anymore. Adapters to ruby rails. So i think that's like belong game as okay. How do i get more visibility for this. And also i have a good hub sponsored account. So if you're using it if it's bringing you value you can chip in some money. That goes to help pay for documentation specialists. There's a little harajuku dembele app and as well as me. Money helps with my livelihood as well and it is a strong signal that i'm providing value in the community totally agree so listeners. We will have that all linked up into the shouts so then before we wrap up. What are your thoughts on the future of the ruby and ruby on rails communities. I think it's great. Like i said just like writing code and releasing this jam i think just did a pure technical level ruby on rails is still where i want to work and i see out in the community. I think there's lots of avenues for learning. I've mentioned the ruby on rails linked slack. My a lot of support on read it. i think there's a lot of companies that are blogging about stuff. A lot of my inspiration came from the big binary their company blog the scott ruby on rails dot org is great. There's all these ruby newsletters ruby news. Podcasts like this one. And i think just trying to think of how to be welcoming to people and new businesses. If.

"Thirteen point one like two point. Oh you don't get any new features of with it. It's really not that special. I used a semantic burgeoning which means that there's really just more of a technical meaning that version two point zero is not backwards compatible with the one point oh releases and that was something that i feel very strongly about with semantic version of not being too precious with version releasing. You made a change just figure out. Was it a major version of minor version or a patch and just like cut that released and move on but let me walk you through the big milestones for good job. So i started it in march twenty twenty. That was zero point. One release and i got to one point zero in july twenty twenty. It's all yes. That's four months and kinda like the path that i took tonight so what i had in march was actually something that i've been poking at for the previous about a year and a half of just kind of like me having the hubris of both i think i can build a new active job back in and so like the version zero point one was quite literally. It's just this is an active job back in that works. But i knew that i wanted to like make it. Good okay. So that was like bad job. Good job like one point out. Like i wanted to make sure that it had loving had instrumentation had had documentation. I actually wanted to make sure that. I was running it on day of the shirt. My small business. I just wanna make sure. Is this useable. i'm gonna put out in the world. I wanted to be something that is not going to embarrass me and kinda just making sure. Okay just like having my mental checklist. Is this. Something i wanna do. Do i want to be an open. Source gem main -tainer and so there was kind of like just a lot of those decisions up okay. I want to make sure that. I have all my infrastructure for being able to have tests having code limiting that robocop wanting eight able to cut releases really easily. I ended up like hiring documentation consultant. I spent fifteen hundred dollars working for a week with an amazing amazing person. But like really just got i was like. I don't know how to write. Documentation is any good and so just learning and going through that process and like i said that was like four months between the first thing i put on ruby gems and when i got one point zero was just trying not to be too precious about like one point. Oh just kind of like being good enough and that was also like i really wanted to get to one point. Because i've seen and work with a lot of like gems where they're just always on that zero point something branch like that release and you know you have zero point zero point zero if you have those three spaces like get to one point. Oh so at least you can use the full set of semantic pershing numbers and you say like just kinda don't be too precious about it though. I will say that. I was really anxious about when i called at one point. Oh what am i committing to here in my life i i just want to just ask on that. Semantic version piece like. Have you ever worked with gems where they just are. Never at one point no one hundred percent. So many of the omni off strategies. I've used have never hit one point. Oh just because. I think it was currently itching. A scratch that the maintainers had at that moment and so they created an omni off strategy and put it out there which so grateful for it but i think a lot of them you know once they depart from that company and no longer need that as a strategy or a good example is accompanied is changing. You know the securities. I remember i was using omnia through instagram and facebook came in with a hammer and changed everything. So yeah the gem definitely never made it to one point how it does feel like when you put that one point zero stamp on a gem though you are saying something which is pretty exciting in a little bit scary. Yeah so i like had to just get over that mental block of like one plano and then going from one point zero. Two two has also been kind of a bit of a journey. Definitely when i was like one point zero at like okay. It got posted on hacker news. And then you get a whole firehose of feedback man. That was a lot of you know. I think moving from. I'm writing code every morning to more doing product management and sometimes emotional management of just understand where people are coming from and navigating their needs and how to address them and having to say no can doing that. And i will admit mike. Analytic philosophy of his gem changed in the middle of it. I kind of came to it originally with this. It is going to do exactly what active job requires and nothing more and that was challenged. I held that line. I think for the first six months. And i went to rails. Come go to rails compass here. This was actually the i rails confines ever been to and it was virtual which was great because i had a ton of conversations with folks. There was a chat channel where we talked about active job stuff for that week and i really took a big one. Eighty where i kinda like talking to. People is like oh active. Job is actually the minimum of what people really want. And i shouldn't wait for active job to to kind of like advanced. The state of the art. I should do that. Remove blockers and just kind of help people. And i think i also saw that too. There was a blog post about the one of the maintainers of our spec did a little bit of a post mortem. they realized they were so opinionated. Where they're telling people you're doing it the wrong way. Rather than kind of actually helping people achieve their goals kinda did this one eighty and that was kind of then the seed of a whole bunch of features of krahn and currency controls and really trying to flesh out the dashboard. Because i kind of realized. I was like okay. Let's actually try to solve the problems that people are having and give people what they want and still trying say no but did want to realize that that there was a space where i could help people and kind of trying to lean into that and that was kind of like the setup here for this two point. Oh where. I didn't introduce any new changes but i did. Pull out a whole bunch of deprecation warnings. Kinda like compatibility shems. It was just like okay. Let's get to this new clean slate for two point. Oh and now. I think a lot of the changes that i'm excited about for to plano is inside of the web. Dashboard really wanted to make it a lot. Easier for people to retry jobs. Duplicate the job parameters in rerun them and get just a bit more like kind of like insights charts into the jobs are running this episode of the ruby on rails.

"ruby" Discussed on Ruby on Rails Podcast
"Analogously one of the first like ruby on rails keynotes that i saw. I think it was in two thousand fifteen where talks about oh rails is the knapsack or the like medium business it just everything that you would need for the business and i think that's sort of how i have come to define that post grass. Is that it really just does so much. So i mentioned it's a sequel database that has sequel perry's it has transactions. It has like acid and you can lock stuff and like kind of oh if in the middle of a transaction. Something bad happens. You can kind of like safely. Roll it back or whatever so sort of has the sequel thing that's not much differentiation from say my sequel bite also has all these other things you're using mongo and you're like oh mongo can store jason. So can post crest post. Chris has these jason collins. Where if you just need a blob data host. I can do that. Res- has pub sub. Where if you need to pass around messages postcards had something similar that's called Listen notify and i think. Just like ruby on rails. There's just a lot of depth to post grass where it's something you can just kind of get good at. And there's lots of little tricks materialized. Views are triggers. There's just a lot of stuff that i think that if you kind of like our learning and wanting to think of thinking for myself of in my develop journey of moving from satellite a software engineer a senior software engineer. There's a lot of good stuff you can learn. That will help you build more powerful or more performance rails applications. I agree. I think being great at post grass is going to take you a long way feels like a very stable technology that only keeps getting better and it does help that. You already have post grass available to you. I remember that last job that sometimes we would have read us outages and we will lose our jobs so he needed to promote our side kick version up in order to keep those jobs so you are right. Post grass's very dependable. Someone ask you a question. Then that i think is probably on a lot of listeners. Minds why would i pick good job over sidekick. That is the question. So i have a secret. Which is i've never actually used sidekick. I have always been using q. That's q. u. e. and delay job which are also post crest back at the job back ins but that being said i think if you have a application that's in production and you're already using sidekick or delay job or two or rescue or kind of like any of these things. Don't change if you're already like you're happy with what you're doing. These are all really great. Great tools. And i don't wanna like come on this show and say oh. What i built is so much better than these other tools to prepare for this podcast. I did listen to. There is a ruby on rails. Podcast interview with mike per of psychic. And i think that just like really brought to the forefront just my kind of like respectful word the experience and effort. That's gone into all of these tools. Because i want to recognize like i'm standing on the shoulders of giants here kind of like all these things that i'm saying like oh these are the niceties of good job around you know it's a it's performance midst multi-threaded. Those are all things where i was able to kind of use existing tools use existing patterns and i didn't have to invent them out of whole cloth like that effort already came before me. But okay why would you use. Why would you use good job if you're starting a new project. It's just like one less dependency of being able to use your post database. You don't have to setup lettuce with it like you can just continue using your database. Try to make it as simple as you. Just drop it into your application and you just don't think about it another thing that i i will say that it's different than kick is by default. It does have some safety. Where if you are worker process dies. If you're process dies in the middle of working a job it will go right back in the queue. That's kind of like a benefit of host grass is bad. It has kind of transactions and good job uses advisory locks which has a post press feature. But there's kind of just a high degree of safety there that i believe that sidekick doesn't have you have to upgrade to cite crow to get fat but that is one differentiator. The other thing with good job is i have been slowly trying to just add lot of features that are just like kind of like niceties and nice to have my favorite feature of the queue gem that they ended up removing support from is a sink execution mode. Which lets you run your jobs inside of your web process so rather than having to run a separate process like a separate. I use a lot of roku so like a separate like worker dino on hiroko you can just run your jobs inside of your web process. It'll us a little bit more memory by the way that good job is bill. Get the same sort of safety and performance by you just have a little bit of simplicity there also in terms of like other features it has a krahn like scheduling things. If you need a job to run every second every minute every hour you can do that. It has some currency controls. If you only want to say perform a certain type of job only one at a time. You don't wanna have ten different jobs all running at the same time you only wanna have it like run equally. wanted time. good job can do that. But has really nice web dashboard. It's still kind of working progress. But if you want to click around and stuff. It does all of that and not all these. Things are like super differentiating. I think a lot of these say like sucker punch also can run a sink. So i don't want to be like oh. These are all totally new. But they're just like nice that idea without good jobs. Like i just wanted to like do a good job of running these things and really just like reinforced. That you can trust it you can move on with the actual innovation of running your app and not just constantly consider this in every development decision. Thanks makes a lot of sense. Will you recently celebrated at two point zero release. Tell me about it. I'm really proud. Just of getting the two-point now. Sometimes when i was working on it was like maybe it won't ever be one point. It's just gonna peter out. I think. I'll say like for the end user if you're already using good job you're using one point..

Equity for Developers With Aaron Kahn
"You can imagine from my desk you know. Talking to engineers receive offers equity is typically offered. And there's so many questions they've received over the fifteen years running mirror cell. Really excited to meet you here. Aaron and kinda hopefully enlighten our listeners. A little bit with some of your knowledge. This is great. Likewise i think equity is the best kept secret that everybody knows about an attack and so i think chatting some light on the details is going to be really exciting terrific. All right we're gonna kick it off with the easy one for you would love to get your outlook on the economy. And how things are shaping up. So i actually feel pretty optimistic about it. Twenty twenty was a little bit harry. We had what two of the worst trading days since the great depression in three of the best and you bring are having this conversation a couple of weeks ago and it's just so crazy that all of that volatility resulted in a pretty extraordinary year. I think the economy has figured out how to operate in a covert worlds and i attribute that almost exclusively to the fact that we're globalized and the fact that technology has been the life support for our global economy. So i feel good about it. There's a lot to be worried about. There's lots of uneasy about. But generally i feel optimistic. Excellence yeah as do. I in a lot of folks i talk to. I would be curious how you feel that. The current labor shortages are affecting the economy. So that such an interesting question. And you know. It's i feel like it's a very specific. One labor shortages in dining and tourism are having a much different impact than labor shortages in attacker medicine. For example i feel like technology and medicine are in a position. To almost avert the labor shortages there are levers in place to get around the shortages and increase the capacity of the existing workforce whereas you know in tourism and restaurants for example. You can only carry so many trays their help. So many people to their rooms. That's really scary. So i'm curious to see what's going to come up that. And how in america specifically the stimulus checks are going to continue and ed needle really impact. The desire for people's get back into the workforce is obviously it's a risk versus reward dynamic where the workplace and the pay stands right now for a lot of people that's just not worth it

I guess the different phase of our relationship because he was he's the older and we went through some tough times at the beginning so i think he sees it a little differently because He was around. He was a little bit more aware of our challenges. And i think we were more conscious now about what's happening in our relationship and not letting kids know but but at the early stages we would in. I think your parents would be very careful because even when we go into the room when we say on that are having a conversation. They know that something serious is up and so they're always wondering and there's been times where we've had some heated conversations and in ruby. Shed a couple of tears when the kids will see that. They'll they'll be like data just jerk right and so after very careful from that perspective as well in terms of what they see yam by think. It's also really good for them in a way to see obviously have to be careful. Where like zinder. Don't need them seeing everything but to know that you guys are having a conversation and then seeing that you're coming out of this better and you're still love each other and when they're older more mature and they realize that these conversations are the good thing they're not. There's no yelling and fighting than men really really appreciate it. Okay so far. Final question that. I ask everyone. How do you describe an extraordinary relationship without using love connection at intimacy. Well i can tell you it's for me it's being it's wanting to spend time with the other person and wanting to spend time with that person for the rest of your life. That's that's how. I see the relationship as i wanna spend my days with ruby when it becomes home like i'm i'm looking forward to it It completes the for me. It completes my life And so i think wanting to spend time for me is is. That's pretty much it. Because i don't i don't have a lot of time to spend with a lot of people based on my work and the people i do want to spend my time with people that i that i really wanted that enjoy that make me feel good about my life and this relationship is basically it for me if say something different. What would you say. I think having as word pasha sure so having passion Similar to what you said not just like intimate intimacy wise but having passion for greeting life together passion for you children fashion for your work. That would just make a lot more fun and make you feel more alive when you have that passion for everything and you're doing it together. I agree. I like to work with us. One of the things that i live by day in the deo is if there's no passion there's no point i don't see for me when i again. I see a lot of guys. I can tell you a of the guys that i work with. They are not in relationships with passion. And that is the biggest challenge. I think from a guy's perspective is we think the guys don't want the passion orders conception that guys don't they do just as much as women and sometimes even more They desire it. They crave it. So glad. us that's important he approves. Well thank you so much. This was great guys. I really appreciate your time. Thank you for having us. It's great talking to you. Did you enjoy the episode. Creamy a personal favor and skype and leave a review. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much and have an awesome day..

"Next is is being like a writer of pixar. Type cartoons. I hope your dreams come true this. Yeah i hope. Don't get block because that's a curse that every right well if you do get rose left just remember to have fun like stop thinking so hard about what you're supposed to do and write something that makes you laugh. Smile enjoy because all writing is all about us putting you on the page and i think people get blocked when they feel like either. I don't know who i am. In which case go out and figure it out or People have expectations of me. That i can't fulfill and the only answer to that is stop fulfilling those and be yourself the weirder the better. The more unique the better. If you feel like nobody's gonna get this perfect. That's exactly what you should be writing because it means it's so so you hats amazing and kirby easier to go back in time and You slow you yang sales watts advice. Would you give young group right now. Well if i could go back i would have i. It took me a very long time to get to ghost writing to get to writing this novel. And everything got and i would have liked to start that sooner so that i could already be in the phase grant writing cartoons but Yeah i mean i would. I would probably give myself the same advice that i just gave you. Which is to Key like as soon as you write something. That's interesting and weird and unique. Good do it again. And don't expect the the next thing to be similar to the first thing. You know all your stuff be completely. i mean. People are complex and they have all kinds of different sides to them. Just because you're interested in penguins doesn't mean you're also not interested in technology just because you're interested in allison wonderland doesn't mean you're also not interested in hair styles. There's a million things that you could be interested in. Don't feel like you have to put yourself into some kind of knee. If you're successful at one thing that doesn't mean.

"Oh my god my brain would stop going around and around that god but if i ever get to the point where i'm writing something and i feel like i'm out of ideas. I just take stuff from my normal life. You know like okay. There's a character in my novel then grandma and she's a combination between my landlady at the time who was a grandma and my boyfriend at the time who was really into cars and he knew how to restore any type of antique car. So you know what these people are somewhat interesting apart. But if they were the same person would be so much more interesting. So i put them together as a character and now i have a character. That is a grandma who is all about restoring cars. She loves to race hot rods and stuff and now that is a much more interesting character. Right so i just take things for my real realize that are totally different and put them together into one character or plot or one thing and then it creates a really unusual dynamic and that sparks tippety. Because got that in hub is listening right now remember. Creativity is all around you like albert. Einstein said gravies intelligence having fun. So you can look around your house Ben and you decide that you write a story about a pen that rightfully own. It's he has adopted rights on its own. That would be a very interesting actually. Can you imagine that at plan that he has your thoughts and whatever they went right down adjusts jolts down everything on his own a kalugin like that sure and then take that pen and combine it with a totally different thing like the coffee cup on your desk. It's a pen that drink coffee constantly or rights with coffee see home adding totally different element to it so now. It's not just a pen that writes on its own. It's dependent is fueled by coffee so the problem is it can only keep going if you make the best coffee in the world and you keep feeding it lots as you know and you've made it more complex suit i mean and then you can find that with another element that you see and go okay now. This pen has a more complex personality ruby. I'd like to ask a certain question to any writer. Made out there and This question actually taps into your soul as a writer so as ruby. Why do right. I can't stop. I don't even want to my brain makes me. I really like. I said. I wake up in the morning with a million ideas and i'm just sort of like how will i ever do these ideas before i die one day. I just i have to. there's different. types of writing like creatively. I have to. It's sort of like it. Drives me insane. If i don't but on the other hand it's also like my memoir is a very different thing this project that i'm doing now and i write because it really helps you make sense of my life writing the short stories about things that happened to me in childhood but really writing them and going over them with editors and honing the words makes me understand by life better and other the other people in my life. Why certain things happen. What was the meaning of something happen. How did that change my life in a certain way..

If you love the expression of creativity in visual and arts than this team the subscribe and for social media pages through the lincoln descriptions and be part of the country now. Let's lightning into today's so welcome to brand new episode on carolina cast as i mentioned many rock and this way you'll be talking to an all time and also i've just memoir aicha today. I'm joined jasmine by ruby thorough. Thank you so much for joining us here. Five can be great to be here. Yeah and we have a lot to talk about because not only. Are you an author but you have also go street in a few books so have sacked by telling us holes will be to east okay i i'm i'm the author of a book called this a string to small who save and it's an. It's a novel that. is illustrated A beautiful heading style by my illustrator. Philip harris and i was recently awarded One of the indie authors to watch by qurqus reviews. It's kind of a high honor And that was exciting. And i also have been ghost writing books for fifteen years so i've written twenty books. This is the first book. That's that i published in my name alone of your book by yourself without any offense chipping in bits of small bits of string to small to save. What led you into writing this book because when somebody You get them five of alice in wonderland but you've mentioned befall on your website. That's wants to begin reading. It's a sense of lemony sneak. It but for adults. So why did you decide to write these kind of book okay. So it all started. I used to be a preschool teacher and taught kids a ges Agents about four to seven. And every day i would we have you know how you have circle time and the kids sit around and the teacher talks or whatever so i would just tell them a story and i would make up a story every day and i would include all the kids in the store and they would be characters in the story. That's fourteen kids so it was a work but it was great creative exercise for me to do every day and the kids loved it would sit. There will be a. Why is their classroom so quiet. Because they were absolutely into these stories that i would tell so. I left that job eventually. And then i ended up getting a job working for writing for a magazine. It was very boring corporate job. And i didn't want the creativity that i'd built up in the classroom to go away so every day after work. The job was across the street from the public library. So i would go to the library and sit for an hour. And i would right and it started out where i was trying to just revisit what i had done with the kids just using the same kind of storytelling style. I would use with the kids and the rule that i made for myself was. I have to be having fun. The whole point of this is to be having fun being creative. So i made up these wacky characters and ridiculous dialogue and there's animals that turn into people and there's people that turned into animals and there's all kinds of weird environments and i would take different people from my life and smash them together into one character and make up a character that way and i was just having a lot.
