And now it is on with the show. My guest today is Andrew Smith, Andrew is the founder of Versatus Labs, building out the most versatile DevEx in Web3. Welcome to the show Andrew. Thanks for having me Andy. It is a pleasure, let's do what we do at the beginning of the show Andrew, it would be great if you could please introduce yourself. I'd love to hear a little bit about your, I guess, personal and professional backstory, what you've been doing that has led you to founding Versatus Labs. Yeah, absolutely. So I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, which is where I now reside again. I did do a stint in Denver, Colorado and an extended stint in Los Angeles. So I was gone from my hometown for about 12 years. I programming started at the age of 14, a technology teacher and seventh grade enemy, the classic, the C programming language book and said, learn this, I think it's going to be important. And so I did, never really did much as a kid other than like, you build like space invader clones and C and a couple of other things. Picked up Python and C++ a little bit later in life, during high school and, you know, was very, very interested in the cross -section of like machine learning and AI and economics. Economics is really sort of my first love, even though I'm a programmer, I kind of always wanted to be an economist, but just found that there's not really a lot of money in it unless you work for a political campaign. So it wasn't going to do that. And programming and machine learning in particular was something that I thought I could apply my love and knowledge of economics to. So it was building machine learning algorithms very, very early on before you add any of the sort of open source tools that you have today that makes it easy. And was sending my resume and GitHub around to a bunch of different hedge funds. Yes, this was going back about 10, 11 years now. And finally found one that was willing to give me a little bit of money to play around with. It's a group called Trident Asset Management. They're based part -time out of Connecticut and part -time out of Colorado, wasn't going to move to Connecticut. So that's what took me to Denver, then did the same thing for a fixed income shop based out of Newport Beach. That's how I ended up in Los Angeles. Started my first startup there, it's called Owl ESG, it's a environmental, social and governance data company built out, you know, some machine learning models and, you know, from PDFs, sort of scraping about 30 ,000 documents a day and extracting the data and building out a ESG data set. Grew that company and then in 2020 decided to start Versatus. So started this sort of hobby project, was doing a solo build on it, spent about 18 months solo building and was talking to a few friends in the space and they thought I was really onto something. So made some introductions, next thing you knew we were raising our first round from jumping big brain, hiring out an engineering team and now 14 months later, here we are. Very nice, very nice. Thank you, Andrew. Give us an idea then of, I guess, your vision for Versatus. What are you guys building? What's the vision? Yeah, so the vision is like the best way to put it, even though this is an imperfect if analogy is you think of like the cloud compute providers, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, et cetera, you know, they own these huge data centers and these data centers are effectively a commodity business. You know, they build out a warehouse and put a bunch of servers in it, connect those servers to the Internet, occasionally maintain them and update them in and of themselves. They're not really that valuable. What makes them really valuable is that they provide all these tools that make it easy and efficient for developers to interact with those data centers and build applications on top of them to store data inside of them, et cetera. We believe that blockchain is analogous to that. It's not, again, it's an imperfect analogy. But if you kind of view the blockchains that exist in the world today and the ones that will come in the future as those data centers, next generation data centers where we provide value is we provide that program ability layer and compute layer that makes it easy and efficient for developers to build on top of blockchains. So we what we're building is a decentralized compute stack that enables developers to build in any language on any chain. And I think this is really powerful for a number of different reasons, which I'm sure we'll get to. But one of the major barriers to entry for developers is the language barrier. There's also a pretty big tooling barrier as well, which we saw that the language barrier, you know, if you're you want to build in Web3, the first thing you need to do is either go learn Solidity or Rust or one of the other languages. And Rust is a general purpose language. There are some people that already know it, but anybody that's entering into Web3 at the very beginning and they've got to go learn Solidity. Right. So a lot of them just don't view it as worthwhile to go learn Solidity. It's a domain specific language. The only thing you'll ever be able to do with that is build EVM compatible smart contracts. So until and unless there's a robust enough financial incentive for them to actually go and learn Solidity, they're probably not going to. But what we found from doing some pretty significant market research is if they could just use their existing languages and existing tools, they'd be happy to hobby hack and maybe even look for a job or start their own project and build on top of blockchains. So we want to make that process easier. We want to reduce the barrier to entry for developers. We believe that developers precede users, that you need developers to build applications that users actually want to use if we're ever going to see mass adoption for Web3. Yeah, I mean, that's a great point, Andrew. And I've seen you guys talk about this and some of your comms, I guess, because that's kind of it is flipping the script, right? Because everyone thinks, yeah, OK, it's the transition to Web3, easy as just got to build some user user friendly apps and and and if you build it, they will come. But of course, real life has has not been that simple. So so your philosophy is essentially the reverse of that. So you want to attract as many developers as possible. So just talk us through that again. I mean, you have a little bit, but just explain why you think that is really the key to the paradigm shift for Web2 to Web3. Yeah, absolutely. I think like just kind of telling the story of some case studies probably helps here, right? So you never know where a killer app is going to come from. I mean, Facebook started as a dating app for Ivy Leaguers, right? And it's Harvard and Yale dating app. You know, Slack started as a video game studio and Slack was their internal messaging network. So and now that is the product. Killer applications oftentimes come from experimentation. And the more experiments you have going on, the higher the probability that you're going to find stuff that people actually want to interact with and use. There are some precursors to what makes a killer app, things that make people's lives more convenient. That's just undeniably is going to make their life better, makes their work more productive. These are usually more business applications, makes the world more connected. These are social media type of applications or makes their life more affordable. So things that create efficiencies that reduce the cost of things that they were already doing. So, look, if I knew what that killer app was going to be, I'd probably go build that. It probably would be easier. But what I what I think where I think killer apps come from is lots of developers trying lots of things and competing for the limited funding and resources out there. And then you have unfortunately you do have gatekeepers in the world that you have VCs and you have investors and angel investors. So typically, yeah, there's going to be some stuff that's lost in the process of gathering funding and everything else that might have been really cool. But really, like if you have lots of things competing, probably the cream rises to the top and you're going to get well -funded, really interesting application ideas that can then promote themselves and attract users. The users are going to come for the applications right now. We have sort of the most users will ever have. If this is all we ever have to offer, which is effectively gambling and speculation, I think we've captured the gambling market pretty, pretty, pretty well. The speculator market we captured pretty well. They're here to make money off of token price fluctuations. If we want people that are here for the long term to use applications, well, we need to offer the applications that they want to use. And I think where that comes from, it's largely a numbers game. It's Pareto principle, you know, 10 percent, 20 percent of the developers are going to create the applications that get 80 percent, 90 percent of the users. So if we want to have a bigger 20 percent of applications that get lots of users, we need a bigger 100 percent. We need a bigger pie in general. And the only way to get a bigger pie is to reduce the cost, both time and money cost of building in Web3. And that's what we're attempting to do, particularly on the on the time cost of things, reduce the opportunity cost of learning how to build in Web3 by making it easier for them to build in Web3. So that's really sort of how we think about this. We think that developers necessarily are a precursor to users. If you look at like some of the market research we've done, it's kind of an either or like if there were more users, developers would take the time to learn this stuff. But the problem is, is that there's not going to be more users until developers learn how to build this stuff. So that's kind of where we see ourselves. We we believe we can be the catalyst for a Cambrian explosion of Web3 developers coming from all different walks of life, bring in product managers that they can understand how to manage a project that's being built in Python or Go or C++, but may not understand how to manage a project that's being built in Solidity, bring in on, you know, entrepreneurs that they come into this space and they look at, OK, well, how do I build a team out to build this? And what they see is extremely high cost of talent acquisition because there just isn't that big of a pool of Solidity developers. So make the talent pools that they can hire from significantly bigger, reduce that cost. Now you get some of those non -technical entrepreneurs looking at Web3 as a way to build their application. That's kind of the way we look at it. Just make the process easier, reduce those barriers. You'll get that first wave who's like jumping at the bit to come into Web3 and then they'll build some apps. You'll get more users. You'll then get the next wave of developers who see that there's financial incentives to doing so. It's going to be a process. It's going to take time. But we believe within the next seven to 10 years, if you offer up the correct tools and stacks, that about a third of all applications will be built on decentralized stacks for a number of different reasons, which we could talk to if you'd like. But that's where we see our value proposition is we make it easier for them. They come in, they build, then you get the users, then more come in and build, and so forth and so forth. You create a flywheel effect. OK, well, thank you, Andrew. And look, we don't need to get too deep into the weeds, but just talking about that decentralized stack, I suppose that you guys are building at Versatus. You have your own layer one blockchain, right? And there's the consensus mechanism, I believe, is proof of claim. So maybe just give us the kind of the two minute overview of your stack, I suppose. Yeah, so our L1 is primarily used for content addressing programs that are deployed to our network. So this is a way that our compute nodes can verify that they're executing the correct programs and such that watcher nodes and validators can also ensure that those compute nodes are not acting maliciously, that they're executing the correct programs. Our consensus mechanism, so proof of claim is actually our election mechanism. So this is how we elect nodes to quorums. Our consensus mechanism, we call it farmer harvester. Basically, it's a modification of what many distributed systems engineers would know as the worker collector model, but to fit a Byzantine fault tolerant model. So in your worker collector model, you basically have worker nodes that are individual nodes that they're allocated compute tasks. They execute those compute tasks and return the results to a collector node, which collects them and does batch updates into a database or to wherever they're storing state in our model. You don't want to have single nodes doing this work because then if a single node is malicious, they can actually create have state altering transactions that are incorrect. So we do have we form quorums as opposed to having single nodes. And then 60 percent of that quorum needs to what we call redundant, redundantly execute the program. So redundantly execute the program, return results, agree on results and then send votes to the what we call the harvester quorum. So, again, instead of having a single collector, we have a quorum of collectors that they then need to agree on the threshold of votes being reached before they would commit that to a block. So that's sort of very high level overview of how our architecture works. Now, again, like our goal is to enable language agnosticism on top of every chain. So not just for our L1, but on top of Ethereum, on top of other chains as well. And the primary reason for having our own L1 is it's a place where we can efficiently prove that compute nodes in our network are using the correct program, they're executing the correct program. And it's also a place where we can accrue value to those compute nodes. So whether they're being paid by another network's native token or they're being paid for executing compute on our network, we can emit our native tokens to them as an L1. So they're bootstrapped. And that way they're earning some money off of it. And then also it's a place where we can accrue fees back to our own L1 so that those compute nodes have a place where they're getting paid. Got it. Thank you, Andrew. If we kind of zoom out then to some more kind of, I guess, just a general state of where we are and the slow transition from Web 2 to Web 3. You saw a lot of the big brands, big financial institutions start to experiment with blockchain, but they were kind of like, they weren't really interested in building on Bitcoin or Ethereum. They went down the route of building their own private blockchains, which was a little bit pointless perhaps in hindsight. And now we're seeing with so many different chains around now and much more interoperability, brands and institutions are recognizing that it's to their benefit and everyone to build on the decentralized stacks that you're talking about. So maybe just you look at, I'd love you to paint a picture of, I suppose, your ideas of where we are now and your vision for what the next steps are just over, I guess, the next wave of adoption, maybe what's going to ignite the next hype cycle. How do you think about this? Yeah, so it's an interesting question. I try to steer away from predictions as much as possible. If I were a better investor, I probably would just be investing and making money that way. I do think the key, going back to hate to just sort of beat a dead horse, but the key is going to be getting more developers and whether those are enterprise developers, which I think what we're building provides a lot of value to enterprises. Again, they don't need to go out and hire a bunch of solidity developers that have four or five, six years experience. They can hire much more experienced developers or use the existing developers they have on staff. That to me is the key. I think we need more people trying things, pushing the limits of what's possible on top of this technology in order for us to find the use cases that are going to lead to mass adoption. I also think that enterprises, there are potentially some use cases for enterprise blockchains, but for the most part, I think one of the things that steered enterprises away from using public blockchains were privacy concerns. Right now, if you were to have a corporate wallet on top of Ethereum, everybody knows how much money you have in that. I think that level of transparency is something that scares a lot of enterprises and the closer we move towards being able to have on -chain privacy, so provability, but without revealing the underlying values, the more you'll see enterprises adopt public blockchains as a place, as a development environment, as a place to build and deploy applications to both internal applications as well as consumer facing or other business facing applications. But I think you've got to solve that privacy issue. Transparency is good when needed. It's also something that can be a deterrent to particularly large publicly traded companies who have to report to the SEC, who get audited, all these other things. They don't want all of this information, their financial information public. So finding ways to create some privacy around that I think will probably help with enterprise adoption. Yeah, yeah. Makes perfect sense, Andrew. What about, how does AI fit into this? I know it's a little bit of a tangent, but I've seen you guys talk a little bit about AI. I think you've probably got some opinions. So yeah, I mean, anything you want to kind of speculate on in terms of the, I guess the intersection of AI and web3 in the future? So in one word, trust, I think that's the key is that we're able to offer trust is very, very expensive. And I'm not talking about just necessarily blockchain trust, but trust in general. It's very expensive and it's at the core of how and why society works. If you don't have trust, society breaks down. So we have to trust each other, that we have our individual best interests in mind. And as a result of us trusting that we each want to do what's best for ourselves, we know that we're not going to put ourselves in a situation to damage each other because that might hurt ourselves. So having trust in AI models is going to be really, really important. And right now that mechanism works because OpenAI runs it and OpenAI is a big company, they have profit motives, but it's all centralized. As we move to a world where there's decentralized AI models, there needs to be some way to trust that that AI model is not malicious. And I think blockchain can be a huge component of that and tokenization, staking, and being able to lend trust to compute models is a really important component of it. I think it's an area where we fit in really, really well in particular. So that to me is the most obvious intersection of AI and blockchain. Particularly when it comes to things like deep fakes, I think you want to be able to have some verifiability behind images. You want to have some verifiability behind videos. You can just imagine a scenario where somebody creates a deep fake there's and no way to prove that this came from an AI model, and all of a sudden chaos ensues in a city or in a region or in a country because of some deep fake that people think is real. So there are a lot of concerns around fake news use cases for AI, and how do we solve for that problem? How do we put a marker on that image or on that video that proves that this came from a model and having some sort of watermark of trust? I think that crypto can provide that in some ways. So that's one area. I also think there's a lot of concern about existential threats related to AI and decentralizing AI models and getting them out of the hands of individuals and into the hands of communities, open sourcing them, and then providing incentives around building these models in a way to where they won't create existential threats. I don't think we're quite there yet. I'm less of an AI doomer than a lot of people. But to the AI doomers, I would say use crypto as a way to provide some of these guarantees that your model is not going to go off the rails.

Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Time Travel to 1994: A Journey into the Music and Movies of that year.
"Well, here we are, episode 119. And on this episode, myself in the wrecking tube, Mark Smith and Lou Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. We'll be talking about the year 1994, in music and movies I think, it's always interesting. So sit back, relax, break out your flannel shirt, your grungy jeans, and enjoy 1994 music. It was an interesting year, so I think you'll enjoy it. More interesting than what Todd Zauchman thinks it is. He thinks it's nothing, so we'll see. The KLFB studio presents Milk Crate and Turntables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now, let's talk music, enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction, as usual. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends, and welcome to the podcast. You know the name, I'm not gonna say it. We're streaming live right now over Facebook, YouTube, Dlive, Twitch, and X, formerly known as Twitter, and I don't know how many other live platforms. Well, it's gonna be a good show tonight. It's gonna be an interesting show tonight. Yeah, 1994. As I said in the intro, my friend Todd Zauchman just absolutely sent me a text destroying the year 1994. Oh, I just looked up 1994, I don't know what you're gonna talk about, there's a few things and I don't know how you're gonna make a whole show out of it, and good luck with that, because that's how he talks. That's exactly how he talks. I'm just gonna do this, and you know, it's not gonna be a good, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's how he talks. Now, he'll deny that, and you'll never know if that's the way he talks or not. He'll just have to take my word for it. I'm Todd Zauchman, and I don't know about 1994. Well, enough about him. He'll probably be piping in pretty soon, but yeah, 1994, it's a good year. It was a good year for Mark Smith from the Music Rellers Show and Luke Colicchio from the Music Rellers Show. That's for damn sure. It was. What's up, gentlemen? It was a really good year. How you doing? I was just guessing. I figured for 94, listen, we were all younger, so it was better. It was a big year. Hey. So I have to stop right here. Dave Phillips, who's been watching the podcast from pretty much day one, Patty Yossi. Hi, Patty. Good evening. I love you. Dave Phillips, for the last couple of weeks, he's piped in at the end, and he's like, I missed it. Like something's changed. Ah, Tiffany Van Hill. That's my buddy. That's my buddy, Tiffany. She's one of the people that teaches me how to work with horses. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. And she knows what she's talking about. She's modest, but she's very good at what she does. As are all of my friends and teachers, trainers, mentors from The Herd Foundation in Delray Beach, Florida. It's a nonprofit if you're in the mood to donate today. Look them up. Herd Foundation. Give us some money. Nah, I'm not going like that. No. No, we do. We help veterans. We help veterans, and so it's a good cause. But back to Tiffany. Yep. That's my buddy. Good evening. The Herd Foundation teaches us so much. That's right. That's right. Maybe I'll do a Herd Foundation podcast. You should. Since I'm pretty good at it. You're going to have horses on? What's the horse named after the cookie? Huh? Isn't there a horse named after a cookie? What are some of the horses' names? Oh, Fig Newton. Fig Newton. Yeah. Fig Newton. That's my boy. That's my boy. Good looking horse. Yes. Yes, he is. And we have Stitch. Fig Newton is a retired dressage horse, dancing horse, right? Echoes of Echo and the Bunny Men bring on the dancing horses. We have Stitch. He's a retired racehorse. We have Miss America. She's a retired jumper. Then we have two mini horses. We have Cinnamon. She was a cot horse. You know, pulls the kids around. As would be Sammy. Sammy's the one that looks like Kaja Gugu for you people from the 80s. Looks like Lamal. It looks like Lamal from Kaja Gugu. Gotta do. And he was saved from a kill pen. Yeah. But he's a mini, but he thinks he's a Clydesdale. What do they do with horses after that? Is that the proverbial glue factory? All right. You know what? Right away. Penalty box. Oh. He's raining on my parade. I'm in a good mood. Now I'm all bummed out. Thanks. You feel sad for the drummer now. This is going to be a horrible show now. Leave it to the drummer. Right, Mark? Leave it to the drummer. Get out. It's always the drummer's fault. That's right. See, Tiffany says, that does not exist past our gates, Lou. Because nobody wants to talk. Back to the penalty box. Great start to the show. Lou is just in a mood tonight. I think he's been hitting the whistle. What's going to happen? You're going to come back and it's going to be an empty chair. He's very ornery tonight. Right away. He's very ornery. All right. He's filling his oats, as they would say. Yeah. All right. Lou's back. I'm all right. I'm all right. Okay. Enough about horses, although I could now, at this point, talk about horses for two hours. I love it. I love it. But instead, gentlemen, first of all, how's things on the music relish show? You. Take it away, Lou. Sure. It's fine. It was such an awful show. I thought I said the wrong show for a second there. It's been nothing short of amazing. Don't jump over each other to answer that question. It's always fun. Last week was fun. We got knocked down a bit by Warner Brothers because we played a clip of an America song featuring Dan Peake. Yeah. You're going to watch that. Yeah. We talked through the whole thing, but Spotify is much cooler than YouTube. YouTube sucks like that. YouTube, they have a very strong algorithm. They can kiss my rosy red ass over that. That's right. You tell them, Lou. Fuckers. That's right. Get me kicked off YouTube. That's right. Let me see. John Morris, he was our shift commander. When I met him, I was, I think, a two striper, and he was what they called a butterbot. He was a second lieutenant, I believe. He said, tell them stories from the Nipah Hut in the Philippines. That's a big no. That's a whole other podcast, but they would never make it on the air. Just leave it at that. It's like a chain of Nipah Huts? No. It was a bar slash club called the Nipah Hut. Tell one story. No. They had a giant spaceship that would come down from the top. It's kind of like George Clinton in parliament. At the end of the show, this big spaceship came down from the top. Smoke. Like you said, parliament fucking pelican. Then the thing went open, and everyone would walk up and get up on stage, all those drunk GIs. Like, yeah, I'm going in the spaceship, and you go down these stairs, and you're in a fucking basement. I don't think it was a basement. It's like something from a fucking horror movie. How do you get out? And then somebody goes, this way, this way, go, go, go, go. That's the cleanest story I can tell you. It's the cleanest story I can tell you. Sounds like fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I got a story for you off the air one of these days. So okay, music relish show's going good. Excellent. I just wanted to say, Lou brought up, he made the show. His segment on bad love songs. That will go down in history as some of the best podcasting ever. Bad love songs? Really bad love songs. The worst love songs of all time, like in rock. It's a deep vein. Is that something, is that like content I could probably like borrow with Perry Mind? Because I'd love to hear that list someday. We voted him off the board. We're no longer a false triumvirate democracy. Wait a minute. We toppled the AI monarchy. There's three of us on this one. Are you two going to overthrow me too? Are you like rebels? None of those stories you're told, no. They're wrecking too. Instead I'll start calling you the Sandinistas. The hostile takeovers. You go on podcasts just to take them over? Like Amiens took over the White House. Really, yeah. Yeah, we could do that. I would love to. Maybe next week we'll do, we'll take a break from the years and we'll do like a, kind of a jambalaya, you know, of stuff. Like throw some music news in there. We'll do some trivia. Maybe I'll come up with some questions for you guys. You could give us that deep vein of worst love songs ever. And it's funny, we noticed that several of them made everyone's list of worst love songs. So it's got to be universally bad. Okay. If everyone said that, that fucking song. Then there were a couple where I said I liked the song, but Lou and Perry were like, what? I'm always, you know, on the one side. Yeah, the one. When it falls into like that kind of metal, metal category, you have a soft spot. Air metal. Metal ballads. Oh my God. How I grew up. Yeah, yeah. As young as Ron Mark, you didn't have to deal with those 70s ones. Yeah, that's true. I did. This fucking guy. Blah. See what I mean? He's setting the bar high. Remember, this is how he talks. I don't think there's anything good about 1994. Blah. So he talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, well, an American Arnold Schwarzenegger. He talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger without the accent. We're going to pass the bar on this one. I am here. Let me see if you can entertain me. 1994. Blah. All right. So let's actually get right into 1994. Yeah. So we'll start on January 19th, 1994. Bryan Adams becomes the first major Western music star to perform in Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War. Oh, shit. Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams, yeah. Wow. On January 21st to February, as it's spelled, the Big Day Out Festival takes place, again, expanding from those previous years. Blah, blah, blah. Auckland, New Zealand. The festival is headlined by Soundgarden, Ramones, and Bjork. Nice. That's an interesting... Probably each night there were headlines. I would love to see Bjork. Me too. I would never want to see the Ramones. They'll never get back together again. Unless they perform in the Pet Sematary. Yeah. Hey, Lou, can you put him in the green room? No, I'd like that one. That's a good one. Come on, there's a little crossover. Put him in the green room. Put him in the green room. Okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's going to be a long show. It's going to be a long one tonight. I feel better about myself now. Got a little redemption? The redemption song? Yes. I got a Buffett story for you. Oh, yeah? His one song was The Pirate Looks at 40. He would segue into Bob Marley's redemption song. Oh, jeez. And it didn't quite... Wait a minute. Buddy, that is the quickest way to get to the penalty box. I'm not playing it, though. I know you're not. You're poking the rhino right now. I'm a guitarist. You're poking the rhino right now. You're not a rhino, you're a nice guy. Come on, we went through that last week. And so, as I've been saying each week, I'm just going to say right now, where's Jack? Okay, and we'll move on from that. Hey, Jack. Hey, Jack, please come back. He didn't listen before, so I don't think he's listening now. Let's see. January 25th, Alice in Chains released their Jar of Flies album, which makes its U .S. chart debut at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first ever EP to do that. Right? But they still are always talked about as like number three or number four out of the big four. Big four being? Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. And Alice in Chains. Alice in Chains is never getting that kind of... Whereas... That first album, the record company made them sound like another band. Yeah. And that's not their fault. They were produced that way. Dirt was a great album. Yes, yes. And Layne Staley was one of the greatest frontmen ever. Just as cool as the other side of the pillow, as they say. Yeah. voice Very unique also. Today we were talking about what we were going to talk about in the show. And he goes, when I saw the videos, he goes, I didn't match his face with the way he looked. Right? He said he was expecting like a grungy, more... No, he was slick. He was slick. In the Man in the Box video, he's got the kind of long... But then he changed it up. He slicked the hair back, he wore the shades, you know. Just turned into a... Suzanne McPhail. Another one of my horse people. She's the one that introduced me to that whole thing. And she said, who's Jack? That's right, I guess. At this point. On January 29th, The Supremes' Mary Wilson is injured when her Jeep hits a freeway median and flips over just outside of LA. Wilson's 14 -year -old son is killed in the accident. What a good day. Ah, this fucking... I saw this and I was like... Dead horses was a bummer. I know, I know. I saw this and I'm like, there's no way around this. February 1st, Green Day releases their breakthrough album, Dookie. Ushering in the mid -1990s punk revival. Dookie eventually achieves diamond certification. Now, I did like them back then. I actually did. I was stationed in Southern California in Riverside. And I decided to get like a side job. You know, I was in the Air Force. But I was like, I want to make a little more money. I want to do something. So I got a job at a record store. Cool. Was it Spencer's or something? Forget the name of it. Oh, Spencer's. They sold all the trinkets, too. No, no, it wasn't Spencer's then. It was something like that. It was a chain. Hot topic. They sold DVDs, too. FYE. No, it wasn't that. I'll remember it. I was working there when Dookie came out and the fucking whole wall was covered with Dookie CDs and they were flying off the shelves. It had a pretty fresh sound. It was fresh then. And coming off the 80s were kind of slick in a lot of ways, except for some of the real heavy alternative. But to hear a song like that on the radio, that was like hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on mainstream rock radio. Good drummer, too. As a band, whether you like him or not, I think he's really good. Billy Joe Armstrong. Oh, Trey Cool. Trey Cool, yeah. February 7th, Blind Melons lead singer is Shannon Poon forced to leave the American Music Awards ceremony because he is loud and disruptive behavior. Poon is later charged with battery assault, resisting arrest, and destroying a police station telephone. Now, this is the dude that sang, you know, And I don't really care if I sleep all day And he's in the daisy field, so you think he's like this really, like, chill dude. And like, you know, me and the B -girl, man, you know. The B -girl, yes. And the tap -dancing B -girl, and like, I'm just this dude's a fucking lunatic. He was taking substances that made him. Oh, yeah. That was a short career. Was it him that did a duet with Guns N' Roses? What was the video, a song from Guns N' Roses with a video where they're up on like a water tower and they jump into the water or something. I forget what it was called. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they did it with him.
Lets Be Frank Podcast - Men's Mental Health
A highlight from Jason Klietz - Accountability Nation
"Welcome to Let's Be Frank, the men's mental health podcast. Join us as we break the stigma, embrace vulnerability and prioritise mental health in men. Together, let's use your voice. Welcome back to a brand new episode of Let's Be Frank, the home of men's mental health. We have myself, Jack Howard, Mr Ryan Smith and another incredible guest in Jason from Account Deadly Nation. Jason is a motivational speaker and he has used his journey of obesity to help and inspire others, which has been absolutely amazing in what he's doing. So, like always, we're going to jump in and see how Ryan is on being a new dad, first of all, and then we'll get to hear from the amazing Jason. Ryan, how you doing, mate? What's going on, mate? I'm good. I'm good. I've had only all day today, so I've been swimming, but this time I didn't get in the pool for, you know, if it's the first time on a Sunday, I've not got in the pool with him. Well, I've got in with him, so yeah, the poolside view and it was a little bit different, but you know what? It's going good. It's going good. So I won't say it's easy to adjust to, you know, but it's it's been an incredible journey. I mean, we're coming up to about four months now, so. Yeah, it's gone like wow. So, yeah, no, I'm good, man. I'm excited for tonight. I've been following this guy on Twitter a bit and I must say, you know, with what he posts and what he shares, this is going to be an inspirational story. So, yeah, the kind of the floor is yours, so to speak, Jason. So, Jason, who are you? Well, I'm Jason and I run Accountability Nation. It's mostly based on my fitness journey as well as the things, the life lessons I'm learning along the way in my fitness journey. And it's my journey towards self -accountability. And the goal is to share my story and hope to inspire others to make changes in their life to gain self -accountability. That's that's my main mission is to help others. With your journey, where did it all start for you? Where did your journey originate from? So it originated in 2011, January of that year, I had a blood clot block my brain stem and I effectively collapsed and died on the kitchen floor. I was 538 pounds at that time and I was in a bad place mentally, was in a bad place physically. And that day, losing my life for a temporary few minutes really, really woke me up to the possibilities of making changes. I would say it really it was an up and down journey for a number of years, up until the end of 2018, when I really started to get serious about my health. And the long comes 2020 and the world shuts down the pandemic, the whole thing, and it was mentally crushing to me. And it took me about two years to really decide that, you know, all the progress that I had made from the 538 pounds down to 376, I was starting to lose that. And in April of 2022, I'm like, that's enough. And I went back to the gym, I was 424 pounds at that time. I'm currently weighing in at 350. So what ultimately happened is that day I posted my day one going back to the gym photo on Twitter, and it went viral. And in a matter of 10 days, I went from a couple hundred followers to around 11 ,000 followers.

She's 31 years old. And let me tell you what, she's on a mission to be one of the world's top female bare knuckle fighters. And listen, she has her eye on the title. And you know what? Something that I love about Sydney is that she is a true spiritual warrior and she carries her faith and her father's memory with her everywhere she goes and into the ring. Sydney Sundance Smith, welcome to Evangelism on Fire podcast. How are you doing? I'm blessed and highly favored. Yeah, I'm doing well. I feel really good. You know, I'm in a really good place in my life, so. That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. So you know what? So my audience, Evangelism on Fire Nation, so they know more about you. I gave you a little introduction, but tell us more about who you are. Oh, wow. I feel like that's such a big question, right? Like the, what does Shrek say? Like an ogre, I have like an onion, I have ears. Yeah, I don't know, man. I'm just like a kid from the middle of nowhere. I grew up on a horse farm. All three of us, my brother and my sister and myself, we were all born at home. We were not born in a hospital. Oh, you were born at home? Not a hospital, at home. Oh, wow. And so for my sister's birth, my dad actually had to deliver her because the midwife was somewhere else. And so she didn't get there. Oh, wow. So my dad had to deliver my sister. That is wild. What was going on with the midwife? It starts wild. She was delivering another baby like across the county. Right. Wow, that's such a cool story to start this podcast off. Hey, it's interesting from starting to talking with that. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, I mean, I don't know. I just grew up out like in the middle of nowhere in a place called Middlebrook. Doesn't even have enough people to be considered a town and still considered a village to this day. When I first heard about you, I was when I was training at Mixed Martial Arts Institute here in Richmond, Virginia. And I would hear your name mentioned, you know, in my training sessions. Then I got to be good friends with Gigi, who she owned MMA Institute around the area that she lived. In Charlottesville, yeah. Yeah, for a little bit. And through Rick McCoy and Tyus Thomas and David Gladfelter, I got to know more about you because I would just hear your name around, you know, the Institute. So let's get right into it. How did you come to faith in Jesus Christ? So I actually, I grew up in it. I just kind of always believed he was there, that he was and that his son existed. And I didn't really know too much about the Holy Spirit growing up. That wasn't really something, it's not really something that Presbyterians talk about a lot, you know. And so, yeah, I mean, I had a relationship with him for, you know, most of my life, but it really didn't, it was like, you know, like the shockwave kind of hit more when I was like 16, 17. And I was really starting to go through like some really serious suicide and depression. And I got really, you know, just really into the word. And, you know, my mom bought me a study Bible on Easter, the year I turned 17. And I still have it, I still use it every day. And so that really just kind of, cause I just have this insatiable appetite just like to know things. I don't know why I just do. And so, yeah, so giving me a study Bible was a great way. And I just never looked back, you know. And that's, I mean, I've had my ups and downs, right? You know what I mean? I'm not saying, I've walked a perfect path since I was a teenager that is far from true. But, you know, it doesn't mean that I've ever stopped believing in God or loving God or talking to God. You know, I think that I just kind of have this different understanding of who he is and like what he wants to do. Like he's never gonna give up on you, you know? And I think that's something that's really important and not something that I really want to get out there is that I'm not saying go out there and do all these bad things. We shouldn't sin much so that grace can abound much. But what I'm saying is that like, grace covers a multitude of sins. That's what I'm saying. And there's no shame, no condemnation for those that are made new in Christ. And that's what I'm trying to come and talk about is there's a way, we've kind of gotten to this point as a society where if anybody starts saying like, thus sayeth the Lord, or you quote the word in a way that people know that you're quoting the word to them, they just shut down, right? And so I don't know, I just feel like God has written it on my heart in a way that, you know, I just talk about it. I'm not trying to shove it down your throat. I'm not trying to like preach at you, but I just, I feel like God is so enmeshed in everything and every single moment of every single day that I mean, his word is just one more example of that. And speaking it is very powerful and that's something I learned along the way. And so to speak it, you have to know the word. Say that again, Sydney, maybe that one more time. To speak the word, you have to know the word. So yeah, you know, write it on your heart. Yeah, to speak the word, you have to know the word, you know, and I've read some articles about you that you are in the word daily. Yeah, I love that. I love that. Every day. In my study Bible, Josephus, you know, I've got like the concordance, the Hebrew and the Greeks dictionaries. Like I really do, like, I truly go through it all, all the time. I just love it, you know. I think it's really interesting. And I think that when you study the different translations, not that anyone is better or worse than any of the others, but I think that, you know, they all have something to offer. And, you know, that goes for like the Hebrew and the Greek too, because their vocab, like, I don't know how to explain it, but their vocabulary was richer. It was like more dense than ours is. I feel like the words that they chose to communicate what was going on or how they were feeling or what God was saying were chosen for specific reasons. They did a lot of like play on words with, you know, like was it Adam and I can't remember the other one, like that that's similar to his name, but it's like Adan or whatever, you know. And like, so one means Adam and one means something that's like completely opposite and bad that he did or whatever, you know. Hey, you know what, if someone's listening right now, right, so this is mostly a Christian podcast, but a lot of those listeners out there right now, they're not reading the word daily, say like you are or I am. What encouragement would you give to them to pick up the best -selling book of all time, the Bible, right, and get in the word and, you know, taste that a little bit every day. What would you, what encouragement would you give to them? I mean, what do you have to lose, right? Like there's so many places in the Bible where it talks about how we should meditate on God's word. And that's not just sitting there and being like, oh, you know, I'm thinking about your word. But the Hebrew and the Greek actually means to like speak on the utterance, to talk to yourself about it. And honestly, you know, you shouldn't look at it as a chore. I know for a long time, you know, it's not like I've read my Bible every single day for my entire life, right? Like we all go through stages and phases and seasons, but, you know, habits are what you consistently do. So, you know, it's gonna take time to get to that point where, you know, you make it, it's just part of what you do every day. You have your coffee and you sit down and you spend time with God first thing, you know, that's kind of like what I like to do. Just pick a time that works for you. It doesn't have to be like, oh, I'm spending 45 minutes, you know, just literally anything is better than nothing, right? Like God just wants you to say, hey, you're important to me and I'm taking this time out of my day to just spend this time with you. Set yourself up to like read five verses or read a chapter a day or, you know, start with small bits. But I mean, honestly, try not to look at it as a chore. I mean, you're meeting with the creator of the universe and magnificent things happen. Ah, come on. I mean, you know, Jesus is the word, right? Yeah. So, I mean, if you shun the word, you're kind of like shunning Jesus in a way. And he came to give us life more abundantly. So how can you have abundant life if you kind of like refuse the one who's trying to give it to you? Wow, that is, that's deep. That's profound. That is so good. That's the Holy Spirit now. That's the Holy Spirit. Speaking in and through you. Just do the talking. Cause I ramble. People know that. I'll talk forever, especially when it's about God. So I was like, God, please just let the Holy Spirit. Isn't it cool when the Holy Spirit speaks in you and through you and you hear what you just say and you're like, wow, thank you, Holy Spirit. That was totally you. Yeah, that was not me. You're like, whoa, that was good. Yeah, that was fire. That was fire, straight fire. Yeah, I was praying for like tongues of fire to be dropping on people in Albuquerque and stuff. Like it would be so heavy in the arena. Like I pray for that kind of stuff. Like to me, when I walked into church on Sunday, cause I've been doing like a really in -depth study on Joshua. I actually did a pretty in -depth study on judges. And then I went back and did Joshua cause God was like, go read Joshua. And I was like, all right, cool. So that's what I did. And you know, so I walked into church on Sunday and I just, I felt God say, take your shoes off. This is Holy ground, you know? And that was what I prayed over the ring the last time I fought in May, cause they let you go out and check the ring out. And so like, I prayed in the spirit and, you know, people call that speaking in tongues. To me, I call it praying in the spirit. It's personal between me and God. But you know, and I just remember saying like, this is Holy ground. Do you know what I mean? And I like closed the whole circle of it and like, you know, I just, and I pray about it before I go, pray about like his spirit being there, you know, and the Bible says that, that God himself is enthroned on the praises of Israel. And then people want to ask me, like, why do you walk out to Christian rapper, Christian praise music? And I'm like, why wouldn't I, you know, I'm inviting, I'm inviting God to come in and like come into my situation. You know what I mean? And just, and yeah. So to me, it's, it's a lot different, you know? So much of it is spiritually based for me. I mean, even like the hashtag, watch me rise that I use, right? That actually comes from one of my favorite verses in Judges. And it's because it was a woman judge who spoke at Deborah. And you know, I'm always about like the women warriors, like the outcasts that, you know, in society it's like says to be ladylike and they're like, no, I'm going to go fight with the dudes. Like that's who I've always identified with, you know, like Mulan was my favorite Disney movie. Like, yeah. So yeah, I mean, I don't know. I lost her. So, you know what you, you mentioned a moment ago, August. So you have an upcoming fight Albuquerque, right? Just trying to trace that one back, but yeah. But you also mentioned that how you went into the ring and prayed at your last fight. Now your last fight, you beat your opponent. You landed 98 punches to her 26. And you know what I'm like that. Yeah. And you only suffered a few bruises. Tell us about that fight. You know, there was a lot of craziness going into that fight that, you know, I just kind of briefly spoke on and that's pretty much, you know, most of like that's like the gist of what I'll say about it just to like, you know, maintain a modicum of respectability, but basically my corners last minute abandoned me for no good reason. And like one of them wasted a promotion flight and all this stuff, like it was insane. And I'm like at the airport, you know, trying to figure this stuff out. My friend drove down from South Carolina with her mom and her four year old son and like to corner me. And man, it was just wild. Like so many God moments happened. You know what I mean? It was like for every curse, there are two blessings. Like that was, that came true. You know what I mean? Like that was just so evident. And it wasn't just for me. It was for so many other people around me too. Like my friend who came down, she had been, you know, kind of like, you know, a rough state, a stagnant place in her faith with God. And, you know, I guess was feeling some type of way. And when she saw like everything that had happened and how God just like made everything just boom, boom, boom, boom, she was like, look, I told my whole family, there's no way I'll ever question again, if that is real, you know? So literally it was just nothing but God. I was just having a blast. Like I had to put all that stuff out of my mind. I didn't feel any emotion. Like, you know what I mean? I felt some, but I just prayed for protection and peace and to stay on point for what we came there to do. You know, like I had, like I have people who like, I have prayer warriors who literally like that is what we do is we pray over these events. It's not just we're praying over my fight. We're praying over the event as a whole, you know, we're praying over all of the millions of live viewers, you know, that's what we're doing. And it, I mean, hey, I couldn't have, I mean, it was other than, you know, just wanting to push the pace a little bit more. I feel like, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't a bad start to be KFC, you know what I'm saying? And you know what? BKFC, now, one thing I love about you, okay? You're a different breed, okay? You have martial artists, you have your MMA fighters, but tell my audience, maybe some of them don't, they do not know what BKFC is. You're a whole different beast, okay? All right, you're a whole different human beings. So evangelism on fire nation. If you don't know what BKFC is, listen to this. Tell my audience what type of fighter you are, Sydney Sundance Smith. So I started off in MMA, but I was waiting very patiently for them to open my weight class. And when they did, we fight with no gloves, just a little bit of wrap support around your wrist. And you know, I take down some of that. You're talking bare knuckle. Bare knuckles, yeah. Bare knuckles. 100%. She said 100%. Facts, yes. I'm so like, okay, so they're coming up with this new card. It's one in Thailand. It's like the super fight or whatever. And they're letting them do, it's a special rules, bare knuckle Muay Thai. Ooh. I have been bugging the crap out of them. Like, hey, can we get a bare knuckle Muay Thai? And they're like crickets. And then this happens and I'm like, I see y 'all. I see what's happening. Y 'all keep me in mind at 1 .15, I told them, I told all of them, I've told my manager, I've told Dave Felt, I mean, you know, I've told them all. I said, if you start a bare knuckle Muay Thai, don't even ask me any questions, you just sign me up. Sign you up. Every single time you have a fight for me, don't even ask me, don't ask me no questions, just sign me up. Don't do that until the day I cannot fight for. That appeals to me. So how do you go from MMA to bare knuckle fighting? How does that transition happen? Very carefully, I guess. It's hard not to kick people and knee people. I mean, honestly, I was just waiting for them, like I said, to open my weight class. It's been around for five years now. So you're a straw weight, correct? Yeah, yes. All right. They had 1 .25 for a while and I, you know, I've been offered a couple of different, different promotional bare knuckle, you know, fights at 1 .25. But I just, you know, I had a lot of medical issues and stuff and, you know, even now healthy, I have to, I have to work to be at like 1 .32 walking around, you know, like a healthy 1 .32. So there's no way I could fight at 1 .25. Those girls cut from like an insane amount and yeah, no. I'm good at 1 .15, you know, like I can make the weight. It doesn't bother me. I make 1 .15, like my body just automatically knows like, oh, it's time to cut weight. And it just does it. Like I really, you know, I just have this really good system and as long as I stick to it, then I really don't have any problems. I cut weight and I feel so strong. It's so weird, but it's just, I've gotten it down to that, down to that point, you know. You know, one thing that I've heard about you, tell me if this is true, but I've heard that you're a fighter who likes to get hit. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so like, you know, Donald Cerrone, you know, he kind of like a little bit of a slow starter sometimes. He's got to get hit a few times to like kind of wake him up. And then he's just like, you know, like back in the day, that's, that's kind of like me. You know what I mean? It's like, if you don't, if you're not going to exchange with me, it's kind of hard. Like, yeah, I mean, I still fight you, right? But it's not going to be the same level of fight. You know, if you're, if you want to bang with me, you're going to, like, I know people think like, maybe I'm just, you know, exaggerating or whatever, but like, you're going to get a different, a different side of me. Like you're going to bring out something in me that is like, oh, okay, you think that was hard, like my turn. You know what I mean? Like I get to hit you now, right? So I don't know. I just, I love it. I've always loved it. I fought Chelsea McCoy for my first fight, right? Like Rick McCoy's daughter, first ever MMA fight. She hit me so hard, I fought double. I'm not even kidding, right? I didn't know what to do. I had never, like, I was training out of a basement with some, you know, with a guy who had a few amateur fights under his belt. Like, it wasn't like I was Rick McCoy's daughter trained at the MMA Institute, right? I apparently even knew what the MMA Institute was. And I was just like, yeah, I'll fight her. Everybody was like, you're really going to fight her? And I was like, yeah. And then like, I didn't get knocked out or submitted or anything, right? Like we had a good fight, but yeah, she made me see double and I was just kind of like, you know, it was in that moment where it was, it was kind of like, you're either going to do this and you're going to love it. Like, that's going to, that's going to do it for you. You know what I mean? Yeah. Or you're done. You know what I mean? This is not for you. Yeah. And I was just like, I shook my head and I was like, well, then I was like, just pick one, you know? So it kind of solidified that. And you know, so it's not the last time I've seen double in a fight.
Conversations with Coach LA
Unpacking the Connection Between Mental Health and Money With James Leveque
"Tonight, I'm talking to talk to him, Jay, Mr. James Levesque, and we're just chopping it about mental health and money management and all that good stuff because I think it's connected. Let's not forget healing, too. That part. Yeah. Because, you know, you know, it's interesting when you bring up healing because some people have to heal their relationship with money. Right. Right. So if you've ever been broke. Yeah, I've been there. If you came from poverty. I've been there. Will Smith had talked about, you know, even though he has reached a certain level of financial wellness, still really acting as if he was poor. Right. Right. And so some of the decisions we can make around our money, especially even not wanting to invest it or even save it, can be connected to our relationship with money. We need to heal that relationship. So speaking of that, what's your how would you describe your relationship with money now? It's it's healing. You know, I mean, I know front is healing. You know, I mean, because once, you know, like I come from, you know, I was born in Port -au -Prince, Haiti. You know, I mean, and that's all my Asians out there. So if I say I say, you know, and it's crazy because, you know, like my mom's past when I was like younger, you know, I mean, and she was like a traveler. She used to go from she used to get goods from like the Dominican Republic and be able to sell it out there in Haiti. Right. And then on one of her runs, you know, she was like nine months pregnant and then, boom, she had me. So I was actually born in D .R. and then but, you know, by Haitian by Haitian parents. And so my pops was actually telling me this, you know. So I would say, like, you know, my relationship with money is is like I come from poverty, but it's always like I always know, like, yo, like, like this, there's more. You know what I mean? I, you know, you remember, I don't know if you ever used to play this like, you know, that's my car. That's my car. That's my car. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, like, I remember when I was young, I used to be like, damn, man, like, look at all these fly cars over here. Like, how come how come we ain't got no fly cars? You know what I'm saying? How can we how can why we got to, you know, drive a little putt putt, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, just always wanting just always wanting to be better, just wanting something better. You know what I mean? So I would say, like, my relationship with money is just like, yo, J, like, it's out there. You can get it. It's healing. You know what I mean? And money is just it's a tool. You know what I'm saying? It's a tool that allows us to really, you know, maneuver and do what it is that we need to do. You know what I'm saying? We was talking about this previously about a job. You know what I mean? Most of the time people say they hate their job or any of these things. Honestly, man, like, I always feel like, yo, listen, think about the rethink about the time before you got that job, how you needed that job. That you know, being grateful is such is such a oh, my God. And it's an underrated practice because I think often we we don't realize how much we have. And not to say that things can't get better or there's not somebody else out there that's doing worse. But often we just don't really think about how grateful we should

hour podcast some of us have to work tomorrow all right here we go let's jump right into 1967 musical events in 1967 and the year kicks off right away with a bomb a bomb on January 4th the doors release can arguably one of the greatest debut records ever arguably if you had a top 25 greatest debut that albums would have to be in the top 10 it would have to be yeah you know if you had a top 50 that would have to be in the top 10 right even if you don't like them you have to say that was so ahead of its time oh it's so different nothing out there was like the needle and all you hear it kicks I mean fucking what a way to start an album it's a heavy song it with a bossa nova beat yeah I mean that's pretty clever yeah 67 so you know bossa nova was pretty hip again John Densmore over underrated underrated underappreciated I think you are you are so correct you know never gets the the the consideration that I I don't know you can't put him in greatest of all time but could he be okay if there's a top there's a top 25 drummer top 25 drummers is he in it good question and in rock we'll just say in rock I think he could be I could see him making so I don't know if he's a universal pick but I could see him on some list I mean he's something you'd have to think about like you said like it doesn't get noticed so much you know yeah yeah or it I mean although his drumming wasn't shy I mean he's jazzy as hell I heard um writers on the storm yesterday and his adjustment playing is great in his adjustments during the shows just for that yeah yeah the unpredictability of you know how the how the song was gonna go right because they could rehearse it all they want once Morrison got into that zone well in the drama keeps the beat right yeah yeah the drummer has to stay up with that yeah and played to the clown so to speak right you know and my my problem is if some of the clowns don't have the beat you know at one point they've got to give in like I said Morrison or even Dylan they'll set the tone but they've got to be steady themselves you know it's yeah otherwise it's just erratic but you know yeah guy like Dan's more I mean I had skill I had a lot of a lot of technical ability right feel yes cool so obviously his drums always sounded good yeah on the earlier on the other records even you know three years worth of music whatever I guess I would be who produced some Jack Holtzman was the producer did a good job Jekyll or now wait so no what was it Paul Rothchild yes yes yes I'm sorry Holtzman was he on the record company yeah yeah was that it was that chrysalis or chrysalis I think or just like yes that's a lecture a lecture weren't they on chrysalis though also I thought they were yeah maybe maybe chrysalis was a subsidiary but uh yeah Jack Holtzman's son is Adam Holtzman he's a keyboardist right now he plays with here we go Stephen Wilson but he does a little blog on Facebook and he talks about growing up and he was like six years old and his father brought him to a club to see the tour Wow at six years old he just talks about like yeah it's a great little blog Wow all right and four days later on January 8th Elvis Presley turned 32 on January 14th the human be in right the human be e -i -n human being takes place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park polo fields with spoken words from Timothy Leary Allen Ginsberg Gary Snyder in others live music was provided by Jefferson Airplane the Grateful Dead Big Brother in the holding company and Quicksilver Messenger Service speeches from Jerry Rubin and others were also given at the event although it's one band there I liked yeah Quicksilver Messenger Service who was it on January 15th 1967 who is your favorite poet of all them I know you're not asking me Arthur Rimbaud who influenced Jim Morrison good answer good answer way to bring that first opening segment rough full circle we're getting better Scott we're good now you guys get a lot of good trust me I'm getting a lot of good feedback so let's keep it at that I don't want you son ask for more money and on January 15th 1967 the Rolling Stones appear on the Ed Sullivan show at Ed Sullivan's request finish it he asked them to let's spend sing let's spend some time together is that the one there you go yeah and then he told him a really big shoe I hate to do this I mean I come back on penalty box I don't say just he beat my record okay look he just got on the show after late and these are either he's stuck he's frozen put the dog nose back on where'd it go are you throw it at the camera like your headphones on January 16th 1967 the monkeys begin work on headquarters the first album to give them complete artistic and technical control over their material and it was fucking horrible fucking horrible what were they thinking they know they were thinking the egos got too big they thought they were the music well the argument can be made that you know Mike Nesmith did write different drum yeah so he could write songs but I don't think he was a pop songwriter you know headquarters and they try to be all fucking like 60 ish and shit they weren't looking for pop were they they're trying to be like more psychedelic yeah I think so there were their channel on the Beatles with those quirky little yeah with anti -grizzelles on that I don't know some weird shit I'll tell you what though I don't care about it myself but it was surely a harpsichord on it because that's what all those records had they had to have a harpsichord and I have the book this the 100 best -selling records of the 60s the monkeys got a they've had quite a few albums on there oh they do yeah they were they were but I mean I thought it was just a condensed period of the show which it probably was but it's still I mean they've got I mean most of their albums sold really well yeah yeah ah you like the show what's it is like the show I did I still like it I still love it I love that that that's so that humor is great like dumbed down brilliantly done though humor yeah way was what they were supposed to act like that yeah you know what I mean there was no like these guys are bad actors they knew exactly how to do that they pulled it off great it was campy it was great for its time it's still great to watch now yeah I do think that banana splits were a better band yeah that's I'll give you the banana splits were a kick -ass band yeah yeah kick -ass man did you see the movie recently came out it's a horror movie with the banana splits the banana splits movie it's a horror movie yeah yeah it takes place in an amusement park and they're they're robotic and in Dyson and slicing baby Dyson and slicing I have to say oh man that's yeah okay yeah Dyson and slicing it's good it's kids again campy

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Rosaria Butterfield
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. I shouldn't tell you this, but Eric hired someone who sounds just like him to host today's show. But since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you, don't be phoned. The real Eric's in jail. Hey there folks, welcome to the program. I am really particularly excited to speak to my guest right now. Her name is Rosaria Butterfield. If you don't know of her, hold onto your hat because her story is amazing. She's been on the program in the past, but it's been a while. So before I get into the details, let me simply say, Rosaria, welcome to the program. Thank you, Eric. It's such a joy to be here with you. It's a joy for me. Now, your story is an amazing story, and I want to start there for people who don't know who you are because very few people have stories as dramatic as yours is. You have a new book out. We're going to be talking about that. It's called Five Lies of our Anti -Christian Age. This is red hot stuff. But your story is that you were a professor of English and women's studies at Syracuse University. You were in a same -sex relationship for years, and then something insane happened, and you became a Jesus freak and got married. You're a homeschool mother. You speak around the country. But your story is an extraordinary story, and I just want to touch on that before we get into this book for people who aren't familiar with it. I've given the highlight. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's the power of the gospel to change lives. I was a professor of English at Syracuse University. I was a coordinator of what was then called the Gay and Lesbian Studies Program. In many ways, I was hired and mentored and then tenured to make homosexuality look wholesome, which to my shame, pulled off. I wasn't just any old lesbian. I was the one you were not wanting to have to deal with. I wasn't just any old lesbian. No, not a guard variety one. No, I co -authored the university's Domestic Partnership Policy, steamrolled gay marriage. Listen, Eric, when I look at this world, my fingerprints are all over it, and I think about that every day. But I was working on a book on the religious right, basically just wanted to know why people like you hated people like me. Straightforward question. I didn't need any more friends. I didn't care if I had any more enemies. I just had a question. In the process, the Lord allowed me the amazing opportunity to get to know Ken Smith, who was the pastor of the Syracuse Reformed Presbyterian Church. He was also my neighbor. And after about 500 meals at his house, probably a conservative number there, and reading through the Bible seven times with Ken, we weren't sitting around chatting about whatever. He didn't ask me how I felt. He didn't ask me if needed a gay bowling league in the church. He genuinely wanted me to know that he accepted me as a lesbian, but he didn't approve because God didn't approve. And so I just put that out there because I think people don't understand. I came to faith under the doctrine of the Christian faith, not this garbage that you see out there right now. The idea was that I would change, that God would capture my heart, and I would desire Him, and that I would change and no longer be gay. And so really, when I committed my life to Jesus, it wasn't because I stopped feeling like a lesbian or I was just kind of zapped. It was that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was true, and it was a truth that I had no interpretive authority over. And that's when the there's so much to talk about. Now, you wrote a memoir called The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, and I recommend it. And one of the joys of talking to you and to Beckett Cook and to so many others that I've spoken to over the years is to hear the stories of people who were in that world, who are not anymore in that world, because we live in a world that has a narrative, and that narrative doesn't like to hear stories like yours or Beckett Cook's. They say, no, no, no, that can't happen. That doesn't happen. Those people are nuts. Well, it does happen. I have friends to whom it has happened. And it's an amazing thing when you hear the stories of transformation and suddenly you're confronted with the idea that this is possible. I lived in a world where I was told this is not possible, this cannot happen, and yet here's a story, here's a story. And, you know, you go into details in your story. But one of the reasons, as I said, it's a joy to have you on is just because there's so few places where you can hear stories like yours that give people hope that maybe my life can be different or my friend who's going through this or my friend who's going through this. So just imagine that that was one of your motivations for telling your story.
The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E11 Writer & Editor: Art, Justice, Culture
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have any regulars, because reasons, I guess. As for our guest, he's from Exeter in the United Kingdom. He is a writer, artist, and also editor. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sean B .W. Parker. Hello, thanks very much. Nice to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? Life's fine. It's in the middle of a heatwave here on the Sussex coast in England, so we're burning up, but getting on with work, you know. Oh yeah, same here. So, have you been up too much recently? Well, I'm constantly editing and writing. It's what I do, and some painting as well. So, at the times that we're not absolutely melting here, I was at the falsely accused day yesterday up in London, supporting other colleagues there outside New Scotland Yard, so that was exciting. Ah, okay. That's pretty cool. So, as a writer, artist, and or editor, how long have you been going on for? Well, I started to write at the age of 14, so back in 1989, and had my first poem published in 1995 in the local paper, and for the last 10 years, since 2014, I've published eight books and contributed to four more. So, I mean, I've been doing it for 30 years, but as a professional, in inverted commas, for about 10. Nice. What inspired you to become a writer? Probably Mr Robert Smith of The Cure, I think, in the first instance, back then in the 80s, understanding the worlds that these artists can take you to. And then discovering Mr Dylan Thomas, the poet from South Wales, was revelatory in my 20s. So, putting those together with various, the fact that when you enter into a world of verse or poem, can kind of take you to another place is very beautiful, and I'm an enthusiast of the English language. And so, yeah, it just all comes from some kind of inside source that you can't really locate. Ah, fabulous. And what about artists and editor? At what point did those inspirations came along? I've always been interested in art itself. I got my degree from the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey, around the millennium, and got a Master's there as well. And my speciality was in abstract painting and video art. I've continued to paint, given a chance. And so that's always been undercurrent. I've never really been out there kind of marketing myself in the art world for unknown reasons, but for the fact that I'm much more confident in writing and it's more flexible and there are more opportunities. But they do go hand in hand completely for me. So, yeah, I don't know if I answered. Yeah, that was a very good response. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? 20 years from now? Well, I am very much a live in the moment kind of person and I don't go much before next week, beyond next week. But 20 years from now, of course, almost all artists I know would like to increase their reach at any stage. And that's part of what the podcast revolution is all about. And the independent way we can do that these days is fabulous. So you kind of connect up all these things. The albums on Spotify, the books on Amazon, the news on X. And you kind of tie all those things in together with brilliant kind of podcasts like this, who are able to tell the world about it. And there's this kind of subculture of kind of connected streams, which is really interesting. And we'll see what that leads to in 20 years time, if that is the established norm, which I'm sure it kind of will be. Nice, nice. Have you ever thought about living in a world that is literally nothing but gardens? I have never thought about that. But that sounds like a very nice idea and somewhat heavenly. But also possibly without the additions of the modern world, which I also like, like concrete and nightclubs and things. Ah, yes, of course.
Lets Be Frank Podcast - Men's Mental Health
A highlight from Shadows of a Silhouette - Fortune Favours The Fortunate
"Welcome to Let's Be Frank, the men's mental health podcast. Join us as we break the stigma, embrace vulnerability and prioritize mental health in men. Together, let's use your voice. Guys, welcome back to Let's Be Frank, the home of men's mental health. Today, we have got a brilliant rock and roll quarter in the house that go by the name of Shadows of a Silhouette. And the sound is a fusion of alternative, rebellious and personal vibes. Coming from the heart of England, this band has released over 25 original tracks on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon. We're joined by Nathan Tyler, who, along with friend Greece, have been creating music for four years, turning out more than 50 songs on SoundCloud and major platforms. Drawing inspiration from legends like Arctic Monkeys, Bowie and Nirvana, the music has even graced BBC introduces for the East Midlands. And they've rocked the Metrodome in Nottingham. They've also played the Quarry Stage during the Wyandotte Festival in front of 2000 fans, an experience that fueled their passion for music. This year, they have hit the main stage at Wyandotte Festival, producing an unforgettable show. So guys, girls, stay tuned as we dive into the guys world and discover what drives this band's unstoppable journey. But as always, let's check in with resident host Mr Ryan Smith. How are you doing, mate? What an introduction that was, eh? I'll tell you what the hell's going on. This is like the big time now, isn't it? This is just like, I'm going to say so rock and roll, but that's like, I think that's more like 60s rather than the 90s, I don't know. Anyway, I just know I'm older than most of this band put together. So, yeah, no, absolutely brilliant to get these guys on. I'm feeling good. Started watching the ice hockey today, you know, a little bit late jumping on with you just because of the ice hockey. But do you know what? I'm in a good place. So, yeah, guys, welcome to the show. How are you all doing? Well, thank you. Thank you for having us on. You say you're a lot older than us all put together, but we all know, mate, you're still 21 in that. Hard to show if it was, but we break through and still look like a one year old messing about. Bless you, bless you, bless you. Panthers or Steelers? Don't mention that second one. No, if you mention that second one, you mention that second one and we'll just stop this right now. All right. No, no, no. I didn't realise. That's all right then. That's all right then. Yeah, yeah, Panthers, Panthers through and through. No, but guys, honestly, welcome to the show. We've been throwing a couple of conversations back and forth for a bit now and it's finally here. So, you know what? Guys, introduce yourselves. Well, we're Shadows of a Silhouette and, of course, we're a four piece band from Derby. We just, Derbyshire, we try and focus on sounds that are a bit more like authentic, like through and through. Even all of us playing our own instruments on songs like you wouldn't think that to be something that you'd be lacking in the music industry. But actually, nowadays it's more dominated by electronic simulated sounds. I'm Nathan Brown, the lead singer. I've got Rhys Carter, lead guitarist. And Ferg's in Corfu at the minute, but we've also got Tyler Anderson, our drummer. Fantastic. So, yeah, guys, I managed to listen to your latest track that's going to be released, I think, later this month. You know, well, later in September. We're recording this at the beginning of September. But, you know, you're going to be releasing that one. I'll tell you what, I was listening to my car on the way back from Mansfield earlier and it's catchy and I get it. You know, it's I think it speaks. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that being released. It's my personal favourite song that we've written for a long time. Yeah, it's fun to play in all life. Yeah, it's quite political. It's a banger. But, you know, it's really like a partial political. It doesn't really speak to supplement anybody else, any political party or belief system. It's more for the common man, isn't it? Yeah, it's just more for the common good side of politics. The politics doesn't actually get spoken about in politics. No, no. And, you know, I actually thought, you know, it actually reminded me of sort of Age of the Shadow puppets. Like Shadow puppets? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's that sort of... You're sorry? It's funnily enough the first band I ever saw live, actually. Yeah, that's why it's had that sort of beat to it, that sort of rhythm to it. And it just, yeah, you know, it was good, it was good. Well, I'll take that. Anyway, no, absolutely. What was the whole process behind writing that song? So, what was your thinking behind it and kind of how long has it taken you to... Well, I had a riff kicking about from the start of lockdown, really. Obviously, we couldn't practice, so... We were writing other songs. Got me loop pedal, yeah, and got the riff down. But we didn't really touch it until about, when was it? Like January? It started kicking it about, didn't we? We got some drums on it, and then Nathan wrote, as he does with most of our tracks, wrote all the lyrics for it. And, yeah, it's... It came quite quick, though, didn't it? It was just one of them, like, kick your fingers movement when you and us rehearsing. And then it just, we just all looked at each other and just thought, this is awesome, this. And then Nathan's writing side to it. It just... Put the structure together. Put the structure together, and then, like I say, it was just about... The words just came straight out. It's this one. Yeah, it's what we opened up the main stage with one or two as well. Yeah, it's brilliant. It's quite... Yeah, like, straight in your face, isn't it? Tempo, it's got tempo, it's got attitude. It's like hitting a knockout punch in the first round. It is a cracker, it is truly a cracker. It is really a cracker. Yeah, the lyrics, the lyrics. And it was, as you say, it... It's just the whole idea of that track. Straight in your face. Yeah, that's what we wanted. It's a song to get people's attention, really. And then it's... You know, who are these? And then it's... We've got you in the palm of his hand then. Crick up your ears. Also, it's an expression of that... Those little thoughts we all have about, you know, on a daily basis, when we're considering what's going on in the world around us. It's just a... No. With our ability to create media, to add into the great ocean of it, we think certain songs come out in principle, or because of principle, that something to have been spoken like that, or in a way, just for some... It can be heard from somewhere by someone. It's just about the rich going rich and the poor going poor early on, isn't it? Well, it's about the trap. We're all trapped. It seems like we're... The fucking mouse trap's already come down over us, and we're all stuck, you know. But life keeps going by for everyone as an individual. But there's a stranglehold on a lot of us, personally, as people trying to get through this world, but it's so slow for some people who don't have to suffer it. So, looking at kind of that... You know, looking at the song, are you speaking from your own sort of backgrounds and stuff as well, your own experiences? I think it's kind of impossible not to, of course. Like, when you are writing Straight From the Heart, not all of our songs are, right? Because sometimes it's nice to write a song about an idea that doesn't paint a memory. It's just... But then again, on the other hand of that, a lot of our tunes are personal anyway. Especially over the last couple of years, with what's gone off with Reece and Nathan and stuff like that. So, it's a way that I sort of... I'm sure Nathan's probably the same as to get these thoughts that are in your head. I have to get them out on paper and write them down about lyrics or poetry and then channel that into some of that music, which then becomes something tangible. The thoughts that you've got in your head, for me, it's the perfect way to sort of... Say what you want over it. Yeah, get it out and... To make room. Then it becomes relatable, because although it's personal to you, other people can then relate to that and hear what you're saying. Like, yeah, I know what you're on about here. Well, certainly we want to know what it feels like when they can hear the fact that we're getting something off our chest in these songs. Yeah, yeah. Because it's not whitewashed at all, really. We all work full -time, full -time jobs. We didn't go to uni or study music or anything. We came together because we all... Look like rockin' art. Look like rockin' art. We think it's one of the best things in the world. It's a freedom from life. That's good the thing about music, where it doesn't matter what race you are, doesn't matter what religion you are, everybody can come together and just be in the same field or at a venue and enjoy the same thing. Everything goes out the window. It's a universal language. And there's a lot of culture where we come from, a lot of working culture of people working really hard, raising families, but not really making enough time for themselves. We come from an area in the East Midlands where lot a of insufferable mental health is right there on the surface, but people don't even talk about it. They all know what's going on with each other. I know Jack's got a question for you, but obviously we've just jumped on beforehand and where I live, it's actually, what, five, ten minutes from... Not even ten minutes, is it, from where a couple of you guys live? So I get what you're saying. You're looking at the smaller sort of outlying villages that are ex -coal mining places. It's a similar sort of state in Wales. It's a similar sort of state in Lancashire, Yorkshire and things like this. And it's these forgotten roots. And listening to that track that you've shared with us, you can really hear what you guys are trying to achieve. So it's more of an observation rather than a question. But I know Jack's got a question for you. Before we come, because obviously we're going to look at your personal journeys and kind of delve into there and prod around a little bit, but while we're on the subject of why not, I want to ask you guys, how was that experience going main stage? It didn't even seem like that much of... There was a feeling of being out of place, but also at the same time being exactly where we're going. Yeah, it wasn't imposter syndrome, but you feel like... The best thing is if you feel like you've earned it, but then you also feel that if you're not getting nervous for a gig like that, I think you've got to get nervous to some degree, because at the end of the day, you're entertaining people and everyone's around on you to put a good show out. And then we just hope we deliver. And that's like, it doesn't matter how much of a buzz we've got to have to play. And the first thing I said to people closest to me was, did you like enjoy it? It's not about us, it's about the fans. Yeah. But the experience is just... What was that feedback like? Oh, brilliant, yeah. Absolutely awesome.
Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Ep. 117 - A Year in Review: The Music and Magic of 1972
"Well, here we are, episode 117, and for my friend Todd Salkman who's not really good with numbers or math, that's episode 117, my friend, and on this episode, in the house I have the Wrecking Two, Mark Smith and Lou Colicchio from the Music Relish Show, and we're going to be talking about the year 1972 in music. What a year, I mean, albums like American Pie, Led Zeppelin IV, Tapestry, it's a great year. So sit back, relax, put on your bell -bottoms and your platform shoes, put on that polyester shirt or that concert T -shirt and enjoy the show. Let's talk music. Enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction as usual. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. You know the name, but I'm not going to say it. And welcome to the podcast. You know the name, I'm not going to say it. We're streaming live right now on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Dlive, and yada, yada, yada. After this livestream, this will go to about every podcast platform in the universe. So it's going to be a good show tonight. Good show. Going to be talking about 1972 in music. Very interesting. Very interesting. I was 17. And let's bring him on. Oh, wait, 17. When I was 17. It was a very... You're lying, by the way. I know I'm lying. God damn. Yeah, yeah. I was 40. And then there was the Gen X -er, Mark Smith. I was three. Three. Three. What's up, gentlemen? My wrecking crew. Doing good. Yeah. All right. Nice to see you. Absolutely. Absolutely. Did you know, we're technically, I don't have the feedback, Generation Jones. Generation Jones? They're calling that. It's the younger cohort of the Baby Boomers. Because we're kind of young to be Baby Boomers in a lot of ways. I'm not buying that. I like Baby Boomers. You're not buying that? No. I don't. I don't. Although in 72, I was a basketball Jones. I got a basketball Jones. Only Baby Boomers know that. And maybe some Gen X -ers that lean back. Except Mark. Not me. You never listened to Cheech and Chong? Yeah. I got Big Bamboo. That's a Cheech and Chong skit. I just got Big Bamboo. That's my album. Okay. Okay. I went downtown to look for a job. Going downtown, gonna see my gal, gonna sing her a song. I'm gonna show her my ding dong. Did he just say ding dong? Blind baby. Blind melon chitlin. So, have you ever gone back and listened to a Cheech and Chong album, Luke? No. I did. And I was kind of like, huh. Meaning? They were good for their time. But you remember all the good stuff about Cheech and Chong albums. But then when you go back and listen to them, they may be not as funny as they were in the 70s. You've lost that shock value. I think they're amusing, but I think we thought they were hilarious back in the day. My father thought they were funny, which I thought was odd. Oh, and they went on to brilliance by making all that stuff into movies. Absolutely. You know, kind of launched them to a whole new generation. My dad liked the line, Bailiff whack his pee pee. That's right. That's right. Good evening, Patty Ossie. Always the first one in. Always the first one in. So, I'm kind of operating a little... Okay, boomer. I hate that. I do too. I'm operating a little differently tonight. My wife, the beautiful Dr. Vera, bought me a laptop. Now I can kind of... I was using an iPad for all my notes and stuff. So, now I'm just going to kind of see how this works out. Yeah, getting a little... It works good. I got mine. Yeah, yeah. I'm going for mine. Ah, yes, Lou. Mark was a little worried before the show. I was having internet issues. He said you forgot your laptop. No, no, it's just nothing's connecting. Do us a favor tonight. Keep moving, because last week you cut still a couple times, and I went, uh -oh. That was with Perry. Every once in a while, pick your notes. On Music Relative, Perry said, you froze up the whole time, but it came out. Anyway, we'll see. All right, so we've got a lot to cover here tonight, gentlemen. As usual, I got some good, good, good... Did I say good feedback? From last week's show. I think people are liking the year.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Pauls & Barnabas Accountability to the Local Church_10
"Amen. Thank you for tuning us in. I'm Darryl Bailey, servants for Christ as we continue on in the life of the Apostle Paul. And so here we deal with the 10th in our series of the life of the Apostle Paul. Acts chapter 14 verses 21 through 28. This closes out the first missionary journey of Paul as we continue on to get to the second and the third missionary journeys. Here, September the 13th, 20023, the 27th of Elul, 5783 of the Hebrew calendar. Now, we talk about Paul and Barnabas' accountability to the local church. Unfortunately, community ignorance is the way that many churches operate. They think that within their own selves as whatever they come up with, they can just do what they want to and not be attentive to God's Holy Spirit. But God's work is accomplished by God's power, working with God's people. And the church is not to be run by the congregation instead by God's clear standards and plan that he has. And there's a lot of churches, they're just doing their own thing and they're not taking any wisdom and leadership from the Holy Spirit of God. They say, maybe we'll get a bunch of people this way. Maybe we'll get a bunch of people that way. Maybe we'll get this and we'll get that, you know. But they're doing it in their own power and strength instead of the power of God's might. And they will never be successful. Paul and Barnabas, their accountability to the local church says volumes in this particular message of this ending of the first missionary journey of Paul. And so, I want to invite everyone to come and be with us at Theffal Crossroads Baptist Church. Our pastor, Keith Dempsey and First Lady Amy. Sunday schools 10 a .m. Sunday morning worship at 11 and Wednesday nights. Kids for Christ. Boy, did we have a bunch of kids this past Wednesday night. Bunch of, man, kids love kids. And 7 p .m. Wednesday night, come and be with us at 450 Iron Hill Road, Taylorsville, Georgia 30178. Boy, I tell you, the kids had a wonderful time. And so I hope and pray that you begin to bring your family back into the house of God you're before missing out on the greatest blessings that you could ever have. Come and be with us at Theffal Crossroads Baptist Church. Now, AD 47 to 49, if we continue on with Acts chapter 14, verses 21 through 28 of the first missionary journey that we give. And we look at Paul's Acts travels because on land, Iconium, back in Acts chapter 13, the land on Lystra, he started up in Acts chapter 14 on that last part of running and then on land to Derby in Acts chapter 14, verses six to 20 on land and Lystra in verse 21 on land, Iconium in verse 21 and on land, Antioch of Pisidia in verse 21, then on to Perga and verse 25 of Acts chapter 14 on Attila, verse 25. And then from there, he started back from where he started out from the beginning of the first missionary journey all the way back to Antioch of Syria on the Mediterranean Sea, headed back because he had completed his first missionary journey that God had sent him and Barnabas upon to go on. And so. As these sections here really tells of what we're talking about tonight in verses 21 down to verse 28. And I'm glad Charles Rice said how incredible that Christ should be kept outside of his own church, how gracious that he would still seek entry unquote. You know, here we talked about in the past, we talked about Paul's pattern for preaching and how that in chapter 14, it gives a clear picture of God's pattern for bearing a witness to his name. We saw Paul and Barnabas, all the things they experienced and how they had difficulties. They were expelled from Antioch in Pisidia. They took the dust and knocked it off their feet. And they went on to Iconium and then they went to the people where they tried to stone them. And it went on to Lystra where they were treated like gods. The crowds are different in every area of place throughout the world. And when the crowd changed their minds and began to stone Paul, he just got up and went to Derby. That wouldn't all. Paul and Barnabas had the courage to retrace their steps so that they could help encourage the new Christians when they returned home. And they told the church what the Lord had done, not what they had suffered. Paul and Barnabas put Christ first and others second and themselves last. They had a job to do and they were determined by God's grace to do it. And so every one of us, that was God's pattern. It was of seven steps that we talked about and how God expects his servant to be able to preach the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we talked about Paul's distractions in Lystra, how there was a lot of things that distract us from Jesus. We talked about how we spelled the acrostic of Lystra, lost in thought, the Y in yourself, S for sports, the T for television and internet, R for radio and music, A for alcohol and drugs. Who here can get distracted? Everybody. All Christians get distracted and they need to maintain our focus on the Lord. And I'm glad that every one of us, that Jesus is the offer and finisher of all of our faith, amen. And so we can have distractions in these new cars because there's so many buttons and gadgets and everything that we could go down the road. These millennials think their telephone is more important than their own driving ability to drive down the road safely. That they want to text somebody and they want a conversation with somebody they can't see. And it's a sad thing because Paul and Barnas was preaching on the city streets of Lystra and they ended up healing a crippled man that had never heard the gospel message of salvation. And it stirred the crowds and the streets that got such an attention for the miracle healing that was misconstrued as they were gods. And they were a distraction and they ended up being called Mercury and Jupiter, which thought to be the gods of that first area. I believe that if we're honest and we'll look deep into our hearts with all the spiritual distractions that surprise us, we get distracted sometimes by the choir. Oh my goodness. We get caught up. Where's the ensemble today? Oh my goodness. We ain't got enough people to have the choir. And I get all distracted by all of these things. That's got to happen a certain way in the church because it's always happened that way in the church. And they've got to continue to do that that way. What a distraction. Why not just follow the Holy Spirit of God? Man, I'm going to tell you, maybe the preacher might come in one Sunday said, why don't y 'all go shut up and sit down? I got to preach. Hallelujah. Amen. And so let's get to it. Amen. And so in our own imagination, we get to pay attention to all the things except listening to God us communicate through the gospel message of the minister behind the pulpit. Then we get up and all of a sudden we got somebody that's spirit fed, but we don't want to be spirit led. And so all of a sudden we begin to overlook the message. Oh my goodness. That preacher could have preached a little bit longer. He could have preached shorter. Oh my goodness. He could have used this. He could have used that. We begin to critique the message that God is sending to the church and we get up there and get distracted by all of these things. God help us today. And so I'm glad that the life of the apostle Paul here is that message of the last part that he's talking to us about. And he's telling us that there are two great ministries when you come to church. Amen. Two great ministries in the church. Listen, I want you to look for this and remember this pastors, the two great ministries in the church is the preaching of the gospel and number two, making disciples. Did you hear me? It's preaching the gospel and then it's making disciples. We preach the gospels and some folks get saved and they don't never come back and we can't even disciple them. They all of a sudden they thought they got saved that one time and they don't need to come back. They join the church. I've had them join the church and never saw them again ever. They never came back. But how can you disciple somebody when they don't let you disciple them? And everybody's got all the answers that we can do it this way and that way. But then there's a third thing. Let me say it this way. The third most important thing in the ministry and the church is not only the preaching of the gospel, not only making disciples listen to me, the strengthening of the church, the unity of that church. It has to stay strong. It has to stay unified and there can nothing come between anything in politics or cliques or all of this or this deacon or deaconess or that that thinks they're going to run the whole picture. And this family name of the Smiths and the Joneses and the justice and all of these other last names. That's a prominent somebody in the community that they say we got to run the church because we're a prominent family name. No, that's not how God wants it. God don't want it that way. And so there's a terrible neglect in both evangelism and strengthening the church. Just how are churches made strong? That's what we're talking about. Paul and Barnabas had an accountability to the local church in this series. And in doing so, we see again.

Caller: If Trump Can't Criticize People, Can He Praise Them?
"They're going to lose yeah no you're exactly right I mean it would he be allowed to say nice things about Jack Smith the special counsel so could he say nice things about the judge could he say wow you look lovely today your honor could he say that I wonder. I really doubt they even want to hear him make a peep at all they just want him to stand there quietly it reminds me of a person in the Bible that had to stand there quietly while they accused him of things and then of course and they nailed him to a cross but that's what's going to happen they just want to nail him to a cross and be done with them.

US Special Counsel Jack Smith Asks Judge to Place Gag Order on Trump
"Persecuting him in this matter why the Biden Justice Department this politically tainted weaponized Department of Justice is going after him he has absolutely every right in fact he needs to he has a responsibility to do so what the judge is trying to do is to tie his hands so that he Donald Trump can't go out there and explain his side of the story and the argument he's using of course is the same tired argument the left always uses which is that Trump's speech will lead to people getting in in danger they'll be put in danger that's actually what he's saying a redacted copy of a released government filing Friday after an order from US District Judge Tanya Chukin comes in connection with the election interference case one of four criminal cases he's facing quote the defendant has an established practice of issuing inflammatory public statements targeted individuals or institutions that present an obstacle to him the government said Trump made clear his intention to issue public attacks related to case the when the day after his arraignment he posted a threatening message on truth social this was the message that he posted on August 4th quote if you go after me I'm coming after you how is that a threatening statement it's not of course but what they want to do is to silence him completely Jack Smith does not want Donald Trump to be able to make his case to the American people the effort to keep him off the ballot which is so alive and well right now and you've got people who are completely interpreting the 14th amendment section 3 which does not apply to presidents because the president is not listed senators representatives electors of the president and the vice president but not the president so this effort is going to fail they know it's going to fail they have to know that when this gets to the supreme court if they try to bar Trump from being on the ballot usually the 14th amendment section when 3 this gets to the United States Supreme Court, the courts going to throw it out say it does not
Schlereth and Evans
"smith smith" Discussed on Schlereth and Evans
"It wasn't. Well, we've got some concerns, but we didn't want to trade our first round pick this year because we don't have many picks in 2023 and 2024, and at some point we do have to think about the future. If that factored at all into their thinking that I'd be very, very, if I'm an avalanche fan, I'd be very upset with this front office if that was their thinking. Because who cares about a first round draft pick that, by the way, has about Matt Smith Smith said it was like players drafted at that spot or later have a 2.4% chance of even playing in the NHL. Planned. Playing. Yeah. Below not getting up in getting up to the NHL level, a 2.4% chance. Right. And unless you're drafting, now if you draft somebody, if you're drafting in the top 5, you drafted Nathan cannon a Gabe land to skagg, a kale macar. Yeah, these are guys who, if they're 17, 18, 19 years old, they're ready to go. But typically you draft your 1718 19 year old where the ads will be picking, that's a player that really has probably about a solid three to four years before he's going to be ready for the NHL. And at that point, your window might be closed. So if you're drafting in the top 5, you're drafting a Gabe Landis car. If you're trapped in 29 overall, you're drafting a skull. Correct. My God, you just summed it up for him. Man, you know, thank God you're here to just, yeah. There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the great Mark schleyer. Boil it down to give you brownside this. Nobody else knows. Next on Denver sports dot com, we have franchise tag deadline day. And Andrew mason write about how the Broncos face a decision when it comes to draymond Jones. This one mystifies me Mark, you're talking about somebody who is an organizational win. Drafted by the organization, third round pick, drafted, developed, in your words, your opinion, somebody who's set to become a superstar in George Payton's opinion, maybe the star and maybe not a super star but a star. Star. You've talked to George Payton, he believes that draymond Jones has huge talent. Market for draymond Jones is about 20 million per year. The franchise tag for his position is about 20 million. Sean Payton has told you he likes building teams from the inside out, strong along both lines. Come on man, this seems like a no brainer. And you know what, okay, draymond Jones might not be happy with the Broncos. As he expressed it during the season you know what, plenty of guys who aren't happy have signed franchise tags with the understanding. I got no place else to go. And if I want to get paid in the future, I still got to play. I got to perform. Yeah. So the notion that if you put the franchise tag on him, he's just going to pout and sit out and then even if he does sign, he's going to go through the motions, half ass. That's just not going to happen. Right. All you have to do is look. So put the tag on. Simmons. Right? You want to spend $20 million on a one year deal. That's what you don't want. And is he at a place in his life where he's just like, I'm just taking my 20 million and I'll be done with you guys. So, probably should have gotten him done early. Like they did with Tim Patrick and cortland. And by the way, the rumor yesterday was that court and sons on the block. It's spicy. What do you think you get for courtland son? Courtland Sutton hasn't been the same player since he probably, as you correctly pointed out during the seasons better off suited as a slot guy now. Just a big body blocking, you know, run on the underneath route stuff. Unless you think you're seeing on the next Larry Fitzgerald, who made that kind of transition from outside receiver to inside and was dominant as a slot receiver. If you can get. Oh, you got a fourth rounder for him. Go for it. Yeah, I think they also proved one thing. That when they moved, when they moved, what's his head? How come I can't remember his name off, top of my head? You have a receiver. Moved him. Yeah, moved him to the X receiver. Oh, Judy. Good, yeah, Jerry Judy. How could you forget Jerry Judy? I know he's like he's the best player on the roster. Get himself a YouTube channel now. Does he? What does he do on that? I don't know. What are you doing your YouTube channel? I put our stinking truth podcast on. It's good. It's really good. What does Judy do on his YouTube? I don't know. It's not a must follow for me. Videos of himself working out. What is he doing? Aho, your point. Oh, my point was that when they moved him over to the X receiver, Jerry Judy thrived. So you're looking at an all right, well, that's the direction we're going to go. Sean Payton is a much more, he uses personnel much better. He's much more too wide, you know, multiple tight ends or multiple backs. He's much better with the personnel. So the three wide sets that we saw so that we grow them so accustomed to here that haven't worked for four years. I don't think you'll see as much of that. As you have in the past, you'll get Tim Patrick back who I think is one of the best football players on your team. Yeah, I think that I think that the court of a sudden move just makes sense. But do you think they do better than a fourth round pick? No. No, no. Yeah, I gotta get a third rounder for him. No way. Okay. Fourth rounder, I'd do it. Absolutely. Will Peterson, it Denver sports dot com, scrap you up, writing, should the Broncos be interested in trying to trade for Derek Henry, who apparently is on the market, so the idea being and will make a good argument here is instead of going out and signing a free agent running back, which would come with a lot of money, a lot of guaranteed money, salary cap hits for the next few years, Derek Henry's due to make ten and a half $1 million next season.

Great game happen last night. Number nine notre dame one forty one to thirty eight versus florida state very close game very to the brink in ot Field goal dubbed for The notre dame irish so we got some reaction. We gotta talk about some things we got to see. Why some of these games so close why. Somebody's getting so tough. Why did certain teams lose. That were definitely not supposed to lose matter of fact nationwide. What as a fan. How do we feel is week. one week. Wanted to twenty twenty one college football season as expected. You know a lot took place like i said. Ucla bullied lsu to lane nearly unleashed a comeback or oklahoma at home georgia and clemson anxious. Wisconsin played defensive slugfest Not letting people get in the end zone on both sides of the ball. Fcs's big sky conference scored three wins over fbi teams and a nearly made it four Alabama destroyed oklahoma. I mean Destroyed miami and i mean some of these may seem a little bit while but that's what this is for. It's it's week. One prime time for overreactions. Who so that's why we're here. Excuse me brought gotta have those conversations gotta talk about it to the fullest. Like i said got us from my school. Texas am Playing kent state. Okay now for those. That may have not seen the game when you hear the score. Forty one tenure. Okay at a door pretty good. Oh but it was not that pre of course first quarter first quarter in the first quarter scores. Ten three at that time six eight. I'm only score ten points. They allow can't stay to fill and then no scoring the second from both sides so we went into halftime. Texas halftime. With kent state would score of ten and three. Yes they never. Were a losing situation but should've been this close Hangs king Did solid toddler game. He would twenty one of thirty three two hundred ninety two yards two touchdowns okay Not a second half. We definitely were able to pick it up a bit going into the third scoring seventeen points. Allow them scored final quarter scoring fourteen points allowing them to only score seven. Which is how we got to the final score now. i mean clearly. Jimbo him since he put into kit kit that i wrote for our divided cheney for hometown missouri city texas and guess what that brother had twelve carries for one hundred twenty four yards in two touchdowns sounds familiar. Oh yeah for those. That don't remember if you remember the orange bowl. The one that takes was just in the end of the football season last year versus the university of north carolina. Yeah that kid that came in in a win for touchdowns some big runs in. Won the mvp. Yup that's all right so he's back he's better in i mean even though he's not starter spillers is the starter you have to put respect on this young man's name because he is just so di- namic ra assume have some gray explosive runs and a glad to see him. Just really been successful in that field. If you ask me and i'll say it here. I nevada told a couple of people in person. But i'll say here. I for the people for the public. In order for takes to defeat alabama. I think they're going to have to put the ball in h. Hand eighteen is going to have to put the team on his back to get that dub and he's very capable of the brother is talented. Now let me not overshadow. Nice smith smith had a solid game is will. He had eight receptions for one hundred yards two touchdowns you put those two together as well as as as builder may hanes. King roundabout talamo brother. forty-one points is okay for an opener versus state. I'm a might expect at least now more points up there too same but on top of that i think it's the solid first game for him Just to get warm get get those tests. Plays out the way. Get those you know how people are working. Certain physicians see what adjustments to be made You guys got the pieces. So i'm not too worried. We needed to do a little bit better than that first. Half that we did there definitely had people sweating you know. Oh we're up to like they were in touchdown distance. Tiny game with us. Like jesus christ our but let's talk about somebody else let's talk about. Ucla beating ranked lsu so another one of our sec. Rowell's got to have a conversation by. But i mean let's not even talk about the native. Lsu fallen. Let's talk about ucla okay. 'cause that first game. They looked amazing when they weren't really playing much of anyone but not played a team in the sec. That is in the top twenty five in lsu so our chip kelly ucla bruins the real deal despite a stream of tight defeats ucla. Improved significant last season from seventy ninth in sp plus two forty six combined with one of the highest returning production percentages in the country amd blue-chip transfers like running back zach Charm burnett from michigan and linebacker ali. i mean ale coho out alabama. Ish should have been clear that ucla had a chance of another huge step toward twenty one. After that performance. I mean we gotta be honest. Possibly of going to see them here. Ranked wants to shuffle Changes up because ucla is looking at a little impressive. The size of the forward step however was a mystery in the making these transitions. And if we're being honest it still is quarterback dorian thomas Remains you know question mark to see you know. We don't want to say he's proven after one game. He was just ten twenty against why week. Zero and in twenty pass attempts against lsu. He managed to combine four sex in interception and completion of twenty three thirty five. Thirty six forty rob in seventy five yards plus the ultra aggressive bruins Definitely i mean defense is going to get caught with a cantor punches. In good games okay. that's just how it was gonna be be done. That's it is undeniable. That ucla has some some studs on the lineup are right. So charpenet has nineteen combat russia's in receptions for two hundred seventy two yards in four touchdown so far that is impressive and i believe he's leading a college football in yards after being touched a greg blue. She wanted the nation's most explosive tight tight ends in twenty twenty juke in ran over multiple defenders on a seventy five yard Seventy five yard catch and run. Couchville has broke multiple tackles on his game. Clinching forty five hundred yard score and in the trenches. Ucla pushed in pushed in. Schemed is way to seven point. Three yards per carry for is running backs. Lsu's back up backs averaged two point three. So is ucla really really letting them have it. Like that Guess we'll see. I mean i to see Lease at least one more game right. What am i. You know one more game then from there. I think they'll tell us a little bit more what we really want to see out of them. I mean what we should expect at least See if they are the real deal so you give me one more game like that versus well. I don't know outta who'd really they have left is going to be that big.

Morte in the marlins entirely like what we had in the farm system or in terms of what we were offering and then we looked at the adam.

The yankees deepen their farm system to the point where some of their guys on the outside of the top fifteen in top twenty might be top. Ten prospects in there is so the rangers certainly got value year but the yankees didn't really part with anything that they necessarily needed.

And I love the Glock 43 X and I can't carry that because it kind of shows on me. So like in the fall, I'll probably switch over to that, but it's a 9 caliber, which but yeah, I totally understand about the whole fitting to your hand. It's not really how good it feels in your hand 'cause a Glock 43 feels good in anyone's hand. Right.

If you ever have to use that, there's a pretty good chance that that's gonna be close quarters anyway. So, you know, you're accuracy out past, you know, it's like 15 yards. It's not gonna be that necessary. A lot of those interactions happen within just a couple of feet.

Corona virus test China, China is using anal swabs to detect covert next they are and you thought the nasal test was uncomfortable. China has now implemented anal swabs to test its residents for covert 19 amid a new wave of the outbreak, and local experts say the method is a more accurate way to detect the bug, according to the reports. Theme. The detection method is being used more frequently in Beijing after a nine year old boy tested positive for the highly contagious UK variant of the virus last month. But anal swabs have been used there since last year reserved for individuals living in hot spots such as Shanghai, nasal and throat. Swabs remained the most popular methods because of their convenience and speak Of course, however, the anal swabs aren't as convenient as throat swabs. Think about the drive through testing s. Oh, they're only being used on individuals and key quarantine areas. It will reduce the return of false positives. What they're saying the swabs are inserted 1.2 to 2 inches. I won't finish finish reading that one out. But the method can increase the rate of detect ability and lower the chances of missing a diagnosis. What's been found is that in some infected patients, the Corona virus survives for a much longer period in their digestive track. Other than the respiratory tract. So very interesting. Would you rather have one test over the other? I'll take to that once I've had two tests. I definitely would not go for that test that would not be appealing to me.

"His job, Dramatic, Grundy. It's D A's top story. He goes. It's your cold Open. Those two voices were to the guys hired that was Urban Meyer and Arthur Smith Smith again in Atlanta. Here's what we've learned about the NFL head coaching cycle. Is that right now? It is a value You have never been a head coach before. You look at all of the names that I just cited, and none of them have previous NFL head coaching experience, and only urban Meyer has significant head coaching experience. What you see is a theme here building and that is NFL G. M's and NFL owners are looking for The young, new fresh voice and Urban Meyer might be the biggest name, and he might not be young, but he absolutely is a fresh voice in the NFL. Here's what happened. The NFL. GM said the NFL owners have seen young head coaches first time head coach is specifically have success right away. And they have gone and double down on it. So if you are Marvin Lewis, if you are Jim Caldwell, if you are any of those reach tread coaches that have had experienced the NFL before. Need not apply. You're looking at a couple of guys in the NFL. That changed around the fortunes of their franchise is very quickly. And we're first year head coaches. And that has now colored everybody's decision making around the NFL. Brian Flores in Miami. Sean McDermott in Buffalo, Matt LeFlore in Green Bay. Heavens to fan ski. In Cleveland. These guys walked in and day one took a losing situation and made them winners. You could put Joe judge into this category because even though the Giants ended up six in 10, it was obvious how much the Giants changed. Because of their new head coach, and this is now what all of these owners are chasing. This is what all of these owners are trying to replicate. They don't want the guys that have been around before. They don't want the guys. You know what Mike McCarthy didn't help matters. McCarthy was one of the most decorated former coaches that were in the cycles the last two years, and his Cowboys didn't look like they benefited at all by having him at all. They look like they were worse for it. If you're a head coach, and you had head coaching experience before you are right now being pushed to the borders pushed the boundaries. When I look at the hires around the NFL, I also see again a heavy reliance on offense, and that's to be expected. You are looking at a heavy reliance on offense when it comes to Arthur Smith. When it comes to Hoping that you can get that quarterback to the next level that next coordinator but this year more than others. It's less about offense or defense. It's Maura about young guy coming. Be the Wiz kid that celebrated Staley gets his job. That the Chargers were looking for the Sean McVeigh of defense and Staley had three years of the NFL and one year as a coordinator. The Jets are looking at Robert Sal and not to fix Sam Donaldson. But to change the culture off their organization in Detroit. Dan Campbell don't even have a specialty. Dan Campbell's not a coordinator. But damn cable's seen as potentially a leader, a leader of a locker room, a culture builder. Urban Meyer admits I'm not going to run myself ragged and practice. I'm gonna hire assistant coaches. And so urban Meyer is there whether we believe it or not to build a culture but not necessarily be in the muck. The weeds of the excess knows this is where this year's Coaching cycle took us The most curious part about all of this is Erik the enemy, not having a head coaching job. Because there were multiple openings he interviewed for all of them, essentially He is potentially a first year head coach, and he does have the offensive background. So that would seem to check a lot of boxes. Why isn't the enemy hired? It's beyond me. As the interview. Well, his agent says he does, although that's his agent. Is it because that people don't believe that he has control in that offense that anybody could do it? Well. Doug Peterson got a job out of that offense and that Maggie got a job out of the air out of that offense. Is it because Matt Maggie and Doug Peterson kind of showed that Andy Reid assistance might not have All that great of a track record. Maybe maybe those two guys hurt Eric, the enemy. Maybe they just don't believe that Eric, the enemy has whatever secret sauce is for the rest of these guys. You would hope it's not the color of his skin. But there's plenty of people in the NFL that air suggesting otherwise. But the fact is that if you followed the tea leaves the enemy checks all the boxes that I just mentioned of what's hot right now in the NFL and doesn't have the job. Now, maybe he gets one of the last two remaining. Maybe he gets the Eagles job. Maybe you get the Texans job. Who knows? But there's a couple of very obvious themes going on. And right now people want the quick fix that they see coming from the young culture changers that have happened the NFL the last couple of years. Pete 55 to 1 to four.
