"Time, 6 36. American and European sanctions against Russia have crippled parts of their economy taking a bite out of the pocketbooks of oligarchs, lawyer, loyal to Vladimir Putin, but Russia's sanctioned against Americans not only are they ineffective, but they've actually turned into a point of pride for some folks here out of Taylor's covering this for The Washington Post and spoke with northwest news radio's Taylor van seiss. When you run down the list of these nearly 1300 Americans, Adam, a sanctioned by Russia, whose name pops out to you. Who would we recognize? A lot of people on the list D would recognize president Joe Biden is on the list as is most of his family. At the same time, the famous actors on the list. There's Ben Stiller, the Sean Penn, Morgan Freeman. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and methods on the list. There are a lot of big names on this. There's also a lot of names that you wouldn't recognize and names that actually quite hard to work out who they are. In fact, yeah, I was reading through your story in some cases even dead people. What's the point of this Russian stop list as they call it? That's a good question because when the United States or Europe or UK or any of the big Western countries that impose sanctions imposes them, they usually set out some kind of sort of policy and to justify why they are sanctioning the people of their sanctioning. What Russia has done and in these cases, it hasn't really set out an aim. It's just sort of said, okay, you're sanctioning us. We're going to sanction you. And so just releases these lists of names of people who quite often have really no link whatsoever to Russia. I'm not going to be infected by having assets frozen or being banned from travel to Russia. So really just seems sort of Russia saying, okay, if you're doing it, we're doing it. But it's sort of undermining that point because if they do it without it having any impact, it sort of makes them look a bit silly perhaps. It's one thing to say, okay, Morgan Freeman, you can't access bank of Russia's Moscow branch or whatever. But somebody must be feeling an impact. Does it have any teeth for anybody? Well, I haven't found anyone who's said like, oh, I was going to travel to Russia next week. And a lot of people don't want to travel to Russia in the current circumstances anyway. Look at Paul weyland and president and so forth. It's an advisable to travel to Russia, particularly if you work on Russian issues. But at the same time, there are a lot of people who have devoted their entire lives to studying Russia and to understanding it. They have friends that have, in some cases, they might have family there. And it's a big country. And if you spent your entire life trying to understand Russia, being told that your permanently banned from Russia, even if you do not have any intention of going any time soon. It's still sort of a psychological impact. It's a sad state of affairs. No doubt about it, and a curious story to dig into. You can find it all online at Washington Post dot com from Adam Taylor. And that's our Taylor van syce. Well, the Biden administration is sending another round of military assistance to Ukraine. White House press secretary karine Jean Pierre announcing the more than $3 billion military aid package today, which includes dozens of braid Bradley fighting vehicles and other armed personnel carriers.

"A moment from the show. I mean, why won't they tell us what we're doing here? Where are they so afraid of? If the Egan philosophy is illumination above all. Illumination beyond all, but why doesn't that include us? Why are we down here still working in the dark? Yeah, working in the dark. See what's missing in this corporation you invented Dan is what the management philosophers call purpose, right? And they've linked this with employee performance if you don't know what you're doing, you're probably not going to be that committed to the activity. Right. Well, it's funny though, because they try to manufacture that in this sort of weird artificial ways. And there are these little prizes that have come to signify achievement. I mean, it's very much on the outside, you know, that's getting a new house or getting a new car. There's all these sort of little status symbols that we endow with meaning because we need them to meet something. Now, we work in our little silos, which become tribes that compete for resources. In your show, these silos breed, I don't know what, deep suspicion, right? Yeah, that was always something that felt like it went with the theme of severance. I think a lot of times it looks like even within a company itself, you often don't know what the other departments are doing. And if management doesn't want you to know, or doesn't want you to ask those big questions, then one of their tools might be to pit you against each other. So that you're not focused on the people who are actually exploiting you, which in this case is and in many cases of the bosses. Yeah, and your show has some optimism on this point of interoffice rivalry as well. I mean, if there can be some detente or a meeting of minds between these opposing sections of the same corporation, maybe the workers can use it to organize and push back. Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's very much a show about people discovering and awakening the humanity in each other in a place like this. And, you know, that applies on a personal level, and then yeah, on a worker's rights, you know, organizing level where it is like, you know, what you see in this season is sort of the first coming together of these two departments than these people starting to say, you know, we might be stronger together than we are separately. Dan Erickson, creator showrunner and head writer of severance. Thank you very much. Thank you so much.

"Into how former president Trump tried to pressure state officials to overturn the 2020 election results. Former White House adviser David gergen on how these earrings have gone so far. I don't think it's going to sway our politics dramatically, but I do think they've laid a foundation for the Justice Department or other legal eagles to move on because it won't come out of the blue. Will that be something that sort of were stunned by an accusation or an indictment of any one of the players around the president or indeed president Trump himself? Former White House adviser gergen says the hearing so far have been constructive today as the house committee's fourth public hearing. Russian president Vladimir Putin spokesman said two U.S. veterans captured in Ukraine could face the death penalty, adding that the Geneva conventions likely don't apply as Moscow doesn't consider the men part of the national army. Meanwhile, as Russian forces gather in eastern Ukraine, president volodymyr zelensky warned that Moscow's assault has put almost half of his country's economy out of action. Many parents have been waiting for COVID vaccines for their youngest kids, now kids under 5 can get them. If your child already had COVID, should they still get the shot. Doctor Jason bolling is with the university health in San Antonio, Texas. The vaccine induced immunity probably lasts a little bit longer. And so that's one reason to do it. Another reason to do that is that it's still possible to get infected a second time and have a more severe course of illness than you did the first time. Doctor bowling says having the extra defense is good, a CDC survey shows that one out of 5 parents with kids age 6 months to four years old would get their child vaccinated within three months of becoming eligible.

"If you don't want to believe something, you just say it's fake news. And it goes, it doesn't go away. It's real. People are dying. This is real shame on you. And I'm glad that you have removed that tweet, although let's be honest, as you said, Garrett, it lives forever. Hey, let's do some nice news. So Ben Stiller. And his ex-wife, Christine Taylor, have reckoned styled. In fact, they've never actually dated anybody else, so the two of them shared with esquire magazine that they have rekindled, I love that word. Their relationship after separating in 2017 and so during the pandemic, Christine invited Ben back into their home to be with their two children. That's awfully sweet. Now, they do have a big house. If you coming to my house, you're on the couch or my bed. There's nowhere else to summon the pull out couch. Like you're in the morning, you're waking up to make eggs. I think the couch if I pull it out in my living room, it shoots under the piano. It's like I'm in the kitchen. I'm sleeping in the kitchen with you and you're cooking. It's a very tight space. Now this pandemic went on, a lot longer than people thought too, so I would have Christine knew bed was going to be there for two years. Oh, it's just going to be just a few weeks like the pandemic. Just like the pandemic. This is going to be a few weeks. During this time, they realize they do really love each other. They did remain friends, which is a good thing. They are back together. They're thrilled about it. Ben said it was actually quite unexpected. They didn't realize this was going to happen. They went on to say they've never actually dated anybody else and then Ben said he gave some really, really good advice here, which is like, I think we respect the ways now that were similar and were different. And if you accept that, things get really so much better because you don't want to change the other person. If you want to change somebody, you're not going to and you're going to be really disappointed. We have to accept one another, even the stuff about one another that we don't necessarily like. It's who people. You've been trying to change me forever. I love you just the way you are. What do you think about this Garrett? Now, I could see this happening to you. I hope and I pray and I'm sure you and your wife would never split. But if you did, I could see you being around with the children. Maybe even like misses doubtfire and you would finally finally realize puppets. You would finally realize you were meant to be together. It's almost like we have to hear this from someone that went through it, but we don't realize it until we go through it ourselves, you know what I mean? Which kind of stings, where it's like almost as if Ben Stiller is like shaking us taking us by the shoulders and going, listen, you stupid people. I've been through it..

"Move the episode with Norman up to the front. This is a very early episode, Ben Mankowitz sat in from Turner Classic movies Very cold and my co host Heather Anthony was there. And it was, I think in the first year of our podcast, I want to say, but anyway, Norman Is one of those incredible people because he's this extremely talented actor who has by virtue of his age. Uh Been able to work with people who have become legends through the years that you don't really hear stories about. He worked with Orson Wells and Charlie Chaplin, and he worked with in the modern day comedic legends like Judd Appetite where Amy Schumer He was in ST Elsewhere. You know, Norman Lloyd was just this amazing A guy with an amazing career work with Scorsese on the age of Innocence. He was in that Ben Stiller tweeted about the loss of Norman and his passing Um, he came out of New Jersey. And as I was mentioning to you off the top of the show, you know, he has a little kid. He talked like a jersey guy like that, and his mother sent him for elocution lessons. And he and now he speaks with the sort of you'll hear it in a second. Probably his earliest breakthrough film was with Alfred Hitchcock, who you also knew very well. It was saboteur. And he pledged the saboteur in saboteur. And he falls off the Statue of Liberty in this climatic scene at the at the end of the film. So, uh, he was on the podcast, and he talked about Charlie Chaplin. And he tells a story about Charlie Chapman and Charlie Chaplin getting money and what happened to the money. So now here is a small excerpt. From my podcast the edge with Mark Thompson again. This is an early episode with the great actor who just passed away at 106. He is Norman Lloyd. I'm talking about Charlie Chaplin a little bit. This is obviously a key figure in Hollywood and in show business generally, But you say so many things about Charlie Chaplin. You said. One of things you say is he's the greatest combination of artists and businessman that Hollywood's ever seen. Oh, I think so. The money now in the present time that we're talking is beyond anything there. But Charlie Made a lot of money for his time. He was the number one box office name in the world of office. He he was the most famous man in the world, not to man in the world, and he made millions and he managed brilliantly. His brother Sydney, who had also been a star had done Charley's aunt and the better role and which brilliant and quit 1927. He said to Charlie, We've got enough. Let's quit Jolly Couldn't quit. I mean, but Sydney the hell with it. He just wanted to go ballroom dancing with his wife, Gypsy. That's another story. I won't go. But the point is, the point is to tell the definitive story about Charlie and money and as being the greatest actor in the world. And how he handled this show. He and his brother Sydney got on the train in Los Angeles to meet with this company in the Plaza Hotel in New York, and they he and Sydney made a decision. We're going to get a million dollars. Well, you know, in 1921 22. This was a great deal of money. It's a great deal of money today, But then it was astronomical. So they get on the train. And Charlie is registered This Charles Spencer rather his middle name on the train because the acclamation as he went across the country, people standing at station see him knowing the train went by. He got to the Plaza Hotel. He pulled into his suite at one end of the corrida that he was on so So the company had never knew the name of the company. But it was at the end of the other end of the corridor. So Charlie said you go in and you know, we want a million dollars. Sydney came back and about 15 minutes and said they are offering $500,000 Charlie said Boeing away. Yeah, Yeah, really Sit down. Oh, no. You know, we agreed on a million and yeah, so you better give accident So we went packed, Charlie. They they'll go to $600,000. You got to Quebec Weeks at a million dollars. Yeah, and he went back. He came back, he said he said no, Charlie. This is it. They said $700,000, and that's it. They don't want to talk about the lives and then Charlie, said $700,000. It's like it's like It's like $50 million 1922. Charlie Boeing Away, said. Look, I am an artist. I know nothing about money. All I know is I want a million dollars certainly went back. And it came rushing back in 10. Minutes said All right, Charlie, you've got a million dollars. Wow. Now there's a great Bs to this story. This stories I tell it to you was told to me by Chaplin himself. And we were standing in his garden and I said, Oh, because John Robinson I took that million dollars and I buried it and I started looking around the garden. See, maybe I'd get away with a million without anybody knowing. No luck. He buried the money. A million dollars a million Now, 20 years past 25 Charlie is taking his family. His Children by owner there were about three or four by that time. Born in Beverly Beverly Hills, He's taking them back to London to show them where he was raised in the middle of the ocean. The US government says you cannot come back. Unless you pass a moral turpitude tests, and Charlie said, I'll never go back and he never did with one exception..

"Jerry stiller son. Ben went out of his way to wade into an argument. He was destined to lose about the role. Nepotism plays in hollywood claiming that the children of stars have to fend for themselves after getting their foot in the door. Franklin leonard the blacklist disagreed. Ira how we feel buddy sheet sociable. I love that this like blew up in to like a conversational view. Yes we'll be was having a field they would shit and meghan mccain like like. I don't need to ever hear her. Speak but i think the thing was at all is that this movie is coming out right. It's called the right way and it's from dentistry spielberg last name. She is the daughter steven spielberg. She's the white spielberg child and the screenplay is written by own king. Another familiar last name. The son of writer. Stephen king and the cast. We're getting a hopper penn. Who is the son of sean penn. And then actor. Brian d'arcy james. So of course this sparked a huge conversation on twitter about whether hollywood was in fact. Crecy or if nepotism was the invisible hand that guided everything in every decision. Ever and ben stiller responded to franklin leonard's like quote tweet with hollywood's meritocracy right and he said to easy franklin people working in creating everyone has their path which all the best. Okay okay them. People have a path like the green knight like where they gotta go on like a long asked journey. Okay have to deal with like joel edgerton. But some people gets you know. Take a private jet. They're exactly ben. Stiller has the nerve to have these tweets as if he got a rags-to-riches story. You are the child of jerry stiller or the child and jerry stiller again this the same thing as meghan mccain. I don't need you to speak on this. You're coming straight from the well of opportunity and access and of course it's difficult to have a nuance conversation on twitter. Of course it's like we know this but both of these things can be true. Well we understand. Hollywood is not a meritocracy right just entirely no way also. Nothing is he. This is this is like a hit dog. Hallward thing right because franklin hollywood zamira talked recy- obviously like it's an easy rag. But ben stiller was his feelings for the reason because like he is insisting people have to work hard people have to work. And i'm like listen. Nobody saying you don't work hard. I know my man ben. Stiller works hard. Okay ben so as okay did. I was working really hard on that escape that john mara thing that i did not watch never watch. But i've actually been stone. Fan state of ben stiller fan. I appreciate that people. Who are the children. Famous people work. You know but you cannot ignore the fact that like they get to jump through a lot of hoops the rest of us don't have to and they should also recognize that like some of the hoops that they do jump through our who that we wish we hat like. A lot of their hoops will be like fear that like they are getting things because their parent is famous or just being like you know people being like not taking them seriously just because they know that they're going to be okay in the world but also if you're desperate spielberg like you will be okay. Yeah okay even if people wanna drag like you can go home to your millions. And that's the unsettling thing for me is like luckily after this came out dentistry acknowledged the fact that she does have a lot of privilege like there. I think hearing these celebrities be okay with accepting the fact that nepotism got them in the door but they had to continue to work like these familial connections got them in but ultimately like they have to be talented. Which will see. We still got see film. However what i don't like in the certain cases of hollywood nepotism. Is someone like a miss. Lena who we know famously sold her show with like posted. No and some ambition goes out of her way to be like well. Nobody knows who my mom is She's not even famous like you can't deny the fact that it's not about fame it's about access it's like you're missing. The actual definition of what nepotism is. Like yeah your mom is an artist in new york our photographer in new york. But you think she don't know somebody in the industry who got you a seat at the table pitcher show to hbo like it's just. It's just dismissive in road and disrespectful to us to make us feel like we are so that shit and there's also the fact that the people who are not born with any test you know you have to create access because the whole thing about anything in the industry is it's all about who so explicitly are building connections. You're going to parties. You're working in rooms with people having conversations with like minded people and that is how you get a path to anything in this industry but some people already have those connected from being bored because of their parents connection and that is the difference. That is what you're trying to explain to people because you know it's like every job i've gotten is from knowing somebody. But i had to do the legwork to get to know people. Because i didn't know anybody when i moved here exactly and i also nepotism has is like dirty connotations because of how dismissive it is to people who don't have access but i feel like life is in america. Crecy like oh used. I used to work in group homes right and i had the best job in the whole group home. I got to do the overnight shifts. And i was making way more bread than all my girlfriends. I was working there because my mom was the bus. My mom was the vase. Like all of this stuff. Trickles down to every aspect of our life and that it's it is about access it's about who you know and how you can get into places. I think the most difficult part about it is once you're in once you're in these high positions like de she was actually talking about. Make sure your young people who have been kept out of working in hollywood system like being or a writers assistant like these initial jobs that help solidify f. I you as somebody in the industry use your power to do that. And i'm not gonna shoebox right zoe. Kravitz do whatever the hell you wine. Have that middle part. We i'm watching high fidelity willow producing songs herself on her album. That's the good nepotism. We'll be quiet. I do want to say though that desperate did say. I acknowledge that. I was born with privilege owned that through through. I make it my mission to bring new talent into the industry and give opportunities to artists of all backgrounds. No one should be left out. Because of the connections they don't had cysts. Who's in your movie show.

But honestly you did say some mildly offensive things that i just want to dissociate myself from. That's smart. That's idea that you had to any of the hitler. I knew that stuff just yet. You said the way you said that you serve. It was weird even speaking thirty seconds. Because all i've heard is like a wham wham coming from your macro. Just just calling out what i've sometimes says it maybe for you is just sort of baseline that's who you are for a for. It's called that out a little bit. I think you're broadcaster the curate broadcaster by the way your style and calling games all that stuff is great as an interview. It's interesting what comes out. You're sort of take on things as might say more about me than it does about you my interview style on to say that i did enjoy being on the show gun to your head. Who's worse me or i was going to say. This is area thing you guys on on this sort of weird obsession. Somebody has to pay attention to that areas career. I mean one thing. You say that i think is that he did. Avoid the nerd stereotype in his in his roles. He's one of them athletic. Jews because he works out so yeah because he did you see him in a long paulie incredibly ripped. That's one of my favorite adam sandler movies okay. All right that's offer. Today folks will be back in two weeks for another episode of the gym. Meyer podcast and please. For the love of god. I can't stress this enough. Do the things you have. What are the things then things. you mean. follow. Rate and review. I'm just i'm never going to remember.

"Like oh. I don't know like a sellout hypocritical douchebag short answer in a word yes. I was really upset at the only thing. I was really upset. That being said i also enjoy the next games and i look at team as being beyond. I don't define it by the ownership and they've always been very hospitable. I did not like what happened. Charles oakley all but i enjoy being able to go meet nick. Legends like bill. Bradley or willis reed. Or you know what. I'm saying like if that makes me a hypocritical douchebag. I will accept that but i understand the we all make moral compromises for our own team. It's humans have always done. It's what led to world war two. I'm not calling you a nazi sympathizer necessarily. I'm just saying joseph. Mandala would be equally embarrassed if he were on a jumbotron calling me. Like a fishy knicks fan or something. I just mingle by the way another nerd. Who made it big and accepted the hospitality of a brutal brutal dictator. So you got that encounter with my mother who is in the boys from brazil about the just mangla whose character who was doing experiments on the mother who one of the people who was responsible for your career which going to get to and knowing about that too. She was in the boston brazil. Great book too is that Who wrote that one was that I don't know who wrote the book it was. I know steve. Greenberg movie. Young steve gutenberg. He showed up in the oddest places. He's one of them jews too. He definitely was doing certain opener guy. He's kind of newburgh nerd but he's cool to kind of ripped. Yeah he was kinda steadily rig. Nerd of the math leading. Jews and paul newman the half jewish. We'll here now. We can just get into the hannukah song and go through it. They want one final question. Sticking with the nazi theme. What is worse. Adolf hitler's crimes. Or james dolan's boozman which one is probably right. Now you mentioned your mother. Your parents were quite famous for talented wonderful comedy team and as a result some folks must saying me but some foes could see your successes extremely unfair sort of the height of unfairness. Because let's face it. There are other actors very brilliant. Act like off the top of my head. I can't area. For example people like that people much more talented to more handsome just better. In general overall as people has there is a lot shorter person than people realize. Is that ryan speaking about him. The third and myself. I'm a third person the only difference between you and and the aforementioned hangzhou area and many others is they did not have a mommy and daddy paving the way for them ever feel guilty about that. Having your career just handed to you. I never really looked at as if it was handed to me. I do think that i definitely had. An advantage is starting out for sure and then show business sort of lactase you will but yeah. I definitely lucky. Yeah you were man. I mean if hank is area. We're here now. For example what would you say to say. Maybe you're so tall because you're not that guy does look like he thinks everybody thinks he's tall tall when he seemed versus not the kind of the voice stuff you know the funny voice stuff and then like that's putting him in a box where it's like. Hey is one thing that you wanna do. You know cartoons and podcast and stuff. But i think to really take hang seriously. I think he has to walk away from that kind of niche kind of stuck on that earlier. That's that's really annoying and a wears out. its welcome. i think people just think. Oh thanks the guy with the funny character. I think hank hank is talent. Anka's talent. I think he's just sort of like trying to figure out like when you have that many different characters quote unquote instead and it's hard to find yourself some. I never liked him really. Enjoy him now. i think he's got. He's got a thing where you know he's he's very classic kind of comedic thing which is great. He's very very versatile. I thought you're gonna say handsome versatile. Well i kinda agree with you about hangzhou area this kind of diminishing and interestingly enough though he has diminished as. He is any years all these false reports. He's ten times better than the both is combined can laugh at both of us all the way to the bank because he's doing cartoons for forty years now i think he's four literally forty years. I believe they're in season thirty three. I don't keep track of all this episode nine of susan's career believing laughing at us from his mansion in hawaii. His feelings are hurt on top of his pile of money that he rolls around in well. At least it doesn't only have to do it two hours a week. No wait yes he does. And you've been very very very good sport and very kind and patient so we're going to get you out of here longer. Every single one of our guests pretty much the same at this point of the show. They very sarcastically. Point out that they pay on the dining. We're going to get you out of here. Wait wait thought. We're gonna do some real questions. Because i really wanted to get into like you know did many real questions. That's your skill as an interviewer. I feel like i haven't even been interviewed. We did all the questions i care. Oh here's a good one What what was it like preparing for whatever stupid ass road. You did five films ago. Oh how interesting okay. Let's get to the game. This game is called weird celebrity encounters showdown now beginning to head to head on this. Then you're going to tell us about one of the most ridiculous celebrity encounters. I'll tell one of mine and she is going to decide which ones better. I have a few of these because over the years. I've had just weird run into not all great stories but there are things that happened moments that happened after a great start to share one with us. Sure i'm gonna be able to give you multiple ones if you see me on the zoo still awake. Keep going okay. I would waited for car. Valet party next to michael jordan. Wow go on. That was basically looked over at me and he said hey boy has it going. Hey benny boy has it gone. That's cool cool. I've never met him before. And i didn't know how to take that other than michael jordan. You just take it. Benny boy act feeling. You're going to be hearing that a lot from now on. Hey benny boy has gone.

"Not famous in. What is it like. It's an interesting thing. You bring up. Because i think like you know first of all. There's that what you're identified with. If you're sitting. Courtside is a knicks fan. I always like. I said i grew up going to the next. My dad used to take me in the next were two season ticket holder fans. My dad knew that would have us give seats to sit with them when they were in the eighth row behind the knicks basket. So that's where. I grew up going sitting there which was an amazing place to see the games. And then this sort of you know being invited to sit courtside. It's a little bit of a you know it's a little bit of a balancing act because you wanna be a friend of the team. Sometimes the team can be really frustrating. But you don't necessarily then all your frustration publicly if you want to be sitting court. They actually actively try to keep me out of sight to not neutral about this has happened to me at the arena at msg one of the authors. Somebody who seemed like they knew what they're doing said court scientists way sir mr magma courtside this way on that went through a door and ended up Locked in a broom closet with scott bail for like two hours so scott had somehow bribed someone to get in that closet with him. I don't know all i know is whatever. They didn't consider him very special either. I guess they stuck him back there too. I don't think he's got going to knicks games. Molly certainly didn't matt austria. I'm being silly but was there a point at which was at some point in your career where you knew you a famous enough for the celebrity courtside treatment at that moment happened with your life. No i was. Because i was always going with my dad. My dad was a knicks. Fan is definitely a kotel situation. So i feel like that was sort of i. Kinda got grandfathered or could you give me in promise embarrass you and i can actually really use a magnetic calendar right now. I think the issue is when you do get invited to come. Of course they wanna know who you're bringing with you so that would be an issue at some point had tapped to vet. Okay it's it's brock myers. Come and your sports announcer too so imagine you might have some previous relationships. Well it's because of the previous relationships that they divert me into broom closet. That's my seeking your help here. But when they show celebrities in attendance on that jumbotron and everybody claps de enjoy. That were you just get stressed out and competitive. Like oh please god let me get more pause and the olsen twins just got is my least favorite thing in the world and i will go to any ends of the earth to be avoiding put on the jumbotron for that. Very reason did it. Was that harder after. You were booed and rightfielder yankee stadium. Was that now. I think that the the memory of that and also the fact that you know. If you're a knick game and you're sitting next to say a joe torre and joe tori is on the the jumbotron. He's gonna get a huge standing ovation. It's any you know new york sports the institution or really anybody except myself. I feel i it just when it comes around to to me. It's always i don't want to deal with. I take it very very hard personally. So i do anything i can to avoid it. They should be more considerate. It will be easier if you like if they if they promised building like an oscars in memoriam kind of thing like like they make your clap sound louder by comparison by sandwiching you next story but like between a cinematographer and an accused pedophile that would definitely affect the level the level of the year. It's just hard to set that up when you go to a game. It's hard to set that up. And say can i please be next to a pedophile and refer. Well yeah i mean cinematographers pro. Sometimes it's the same thing. That's a joke i once heard a pedophile for ben stiller. Walk into a bar who got cheered shirt. That's got the biggest you know. I feel like i kind of like. My experience has been with cheers. Like oh hey. Hey it's him. It's not like how so. It's not like boo. But it's like i'm mildly. Sort of don't care about the case or yet it's fun. Jay z and beyond say. Exactly right it's not exciting. Always bringing it back to that young person reference thing. New york has got to be very tough to get that kind of applause. People are pretty disillusioned with seeing celebrities there because they're everywhere out there you go pacers game just to boost your confidence man. Put you on the jumbotron by go nuts. I did say that did happen. I went to a montreal. canadian's game. Yeah how did they receive. You got a really nice cheer at is like my second hockey and even been to a hockey game second hockey game and a really nice cheer and then new york mind. If you're not. Tracy morgan forget it because tracy morgan gifts the biggest cheer every time because he's tracing everybody loves but then the downside is if you know liked him crazy for you add montreal the downside is and they just asked you to sing the hanukkah song. You gotta explain you. Not adam saying that happens way too often but see was adam sandler. I actually would take that anytime. I get mistaken for sandler and happy another nerd. You probably want to beat up taking it to another level rate. I mean come on. He's come full circle to cool. Yes now he's like his outfits and everything. He's like very very popular on instagram. Yeah he's like he's industry. Where like he wears basketball shorts and puffer jackets. Let's just marriage and that's called a midlife crisis. I mean instagram loves it. That's what he's been dressing like his whole like. He just always did that go tonight show whenever he just wear whatever he waited it out he got to twenty twenty one. And it's you know he's in now. I'll always mistaken for well. Adam you mentioned sitting courtside at the nixon having to maintain a certain level decorum. Because you don't want to be a fan and get angry at the team. You know publicly like that. But another little touchy subject as the knicks fan. You gotta you gotta just. Hey james dolan. I'm all right. I mean the way. The teams have been run the way the securities treated people like charles oakley and patrick union disgrace and they're all used celebrities. They are taking the guys hospitality free buffet feel.

"Other five seven and shorter. No i'd say benjamin's because you're undeniable. Yeah 'cause you're undeniably successful and that fact just constantly perplexes me. I take that as a compliment. Either you're gonna say. I have no three point shot. You don't have that either. I'm pretty sure you probably have a better one than ben simmons. an actual. You know he's got to work on his three point shot but he's i tough. It's tough those guys because there's so much expected to and that's always the thing the expectation level. So you know that. If you're expecting they've you're comparing our should be this ben. Simmons probably like just plays his own game he is worried about. The people who say doesn't have great shot. Do you think it's more difficult to be a famous actor or a famous tougher. Being an athlete is tougher in that people are constantly criticized based on actual numbers and stats and performance while being an actor is much more about. Hey i think that guy's good or yeah. It's just your reps who criticize you but the numbers your latest film. But you don't get booed. Athletes get booed which we know. Ben was very traumatized by no. I would definitely. I mean i think is so much more pressure being an athlete and the glory of it is great too. I would imagine the feeling of sinking game winner at madison square garden. Probably is better than any feeling. You know an actor would ever have performing frog way or who knows you know. In terms of that moment of glory. Angry but i i've seen a lot of it but i'd rather be a famous active just because it seems saddam easy. I mean you just pretend to be some ridiculous character for. I don't know roughly an hour every other week and the cast. Just come rolling in or you just do stupid ass cartoon voices for maybe two hours a week that i agree with you. That's not consider that real acting. That's voice work. I agree. I wholeheartedly agree anybody who does that as an idiot. I mean that's yeah i always i love cartoons but people do cartoon voices are you know there's mel blanc and then who else right and a bunch of generics really annoying nerds. That's probably what i should have said actors who do characters that's the other thing actors whose characters and goofy characters or that's a whole other world then like say daniel day lewis or ben mendelsohn actors have dignity versus guys who just kind of caper around and make silly noises. Invoices breath goofy voices or do funny sort of sketch. Oh put on wig and saying do whatever it is. You know that kind of thing does that. They're they're the ones who should be boot and rightfully yankee stadium speaking of sports and actors and as i mentioned before i wanna ask this something about mary with brett farve. Moi's an experience like how did that go him. Here's an athlete crossing over into into into acting. How was it. I don't have that much in memory working on the set with brett. I think he was nice and i think he came in and sort of new experience for him. I didn't know how to pronounce his name at the time. They actually worked that into the movie. Yeah that's like the iconic line. Yeah that was. Because i couldn't quite figure out how to pronounce his name but i liked him at the time. I think it was fun. I think we toss the football little bit moment. Have you considered a sequel to that movie where. Mary finds out that her ex-boyfriend brett farve keep sending women unrequested. Pictures of his penis thought about that. She really dodged a bullet ending up with your character. As opposed to the pro-trump guy with the weird overexposed. Pini can't say that. I been tracking. Brett's post mary career. I just officially pitched denies that what you call it pitch writer for a sequel shirt. And that's what you'd probably call an elevator pitch because it was fast. Yes it has to be fast enough. You could do if you ran into an executive in elevator. Actually i've done escalator pitches escalator pitches but still have to be concise. I'm good going down on the escalator. But not doing now. I want to go back to insulting you about the knicks. When you attend games. Ben you get to sit courtside and boy that seems to me. Like the best part of being a celebrity other than of course all the all the blowjobs gasket say. I imagine that you guys are in a constant state of getting a blowjob. In fact when you're courtside is probably the only time you are not getting a blowjob. 'cause you're lower-half is just to expose. Is that right. Is that the only time you're not gonna blow job insular definitely with a new mask mandates at the garden. It's changed things a lot and made a much more complicated. It's weird because of the last playoff game. They had everybody in. The garden was not wearing a mask except for the people who were courtside. So that definitely affected blowjobs. Never has been anything that i've ever really been drawn to in terms of like the celebrity perks because i don't find that to be true thing what you're saying i don't i. Don't go with the premise of beer. The assumption. I mean i would say this. They're sort of metaphor blowjobs happening having in show business all the time. Yeah like the wack offers the the false praise. Oh you're so wonderful constantly. You've got so much of that. See needed to be balanced out by getting booed and right the yankee stadium exactly exactly karmic karmic balance there. But there's some for me. We're denied. I heard that when jack nicholson sat courtside for laker games. I heard that the blowjobs did not stop for him. But actually they'd hide it jack. Seat of the staple center is actually a complicated system of mirrors and trap door and mannequin legs. So he can you confirm or deny that that he was continuing to get bowe jobs of courtside staples center. First of all. I told you. I'm not a lakers fan. So i never really spent one lakers game and sat courtside and add that game. I did not actually witness anything happening with an. Nicholson in that way. I only speak to knicks games. Knicks courtside activities which. That's not happening in new york. Oh i thought you said you did. You have not gotten a blowjob courtside at an. I thought i thought that's where he ended up in master change. But what. I'm taking away. He used to get him than the this pandemic happening. Now that's ruined the courtside blowjob for you and you're inferring that i never actually actually stipulated that see. Whenever i talked to a famous person like yourselves. An can't see below their waist. I just assume as a blowjob in progress like we're on zoom right now. I assume that's what's happening right now. That's your idea of fame is a constant. Yeah when someone like charles. Barkley mentioned zoom fatigue. Buddy call that what it is. That's a refractory period. That means you're dick just need a little bit of a break. That's all somewhere. I don't wanna go. I don't think i want to talk about. Because i feel bad image to me. I just don't feel like that's true. I don't think that's real life but it's interesting. How for you that tells me you is just your outlook on life. I'll be just more about me than than all you liberties. Well then enlighten those first common folk. Can you walk us through what it is actually like to be a celebrity sitting courtside at madison square garden. 'cause they want obviously won't celebrities like you to be. Seen their makes event. More special people were attending. They can tell you they don't want me bed. Many because one time i got drawn and three one of those free giveaway magnetic calendars rated zaza pachulia. but also.

"Saying words. that are compute. I think what i was saying in my own way was sort of getting. You're getting at to. Which is we're all going through these changes in time. You're playing dodgeball. As a kid when you're getting in touch with all of these are awkward changes that are happening both physiologically and also just in your life as a kid. I mean there's also the seventies where things were like a little bit more. I think out there you know and so there was a little less sort of parental guidance. That's very politely. Basically thrown to the wolves. Yeah and so. But i did. I did go through puberty. So much of our asking him about that was was my question. Did you go through puberty. And the answer is yes. Nerd not nerd. It seems like it's very trendy to be a nerd in hollywood these days. But you were the go-to nerd actor for years. I mean when. I mean a big shot movie producer. Said i need a door that i can film masturbating in the bathroom. The name on. Everybody's lips was ben stiller but now it seems like he got some new competition every year. You got your steve. Carell and your jason biggs and that mclovin character. Do you sometimes feel resentful when these new nerds encroach on your territory. I'm sorry two thousand eight. I'm tired of all right. It was a modern nerve. I think your premise is totally valid. That was a time in in movies when that was happening. And that's what i was doing. Is you know for sure. Maybe that's maybe nerd. Ism has kinda gone out of volga. Maybe that's why. I had no reason but i think about it in sports terms like old. Nba players. you know. They'll say stop like all the stars today when the made it background plea. They're part of you that thanks Sure easy to be a nerd now but these modern do they could not hold my jock strap. whatever equivalent of a trap is. They couldn't hold my freshly soiled scaredy cat underpants. i don't. I don't think that i was like. I said time. There was a lot of that. John removing happening to. I don't think it's kind of outdated now that hasn't it little bit. It is a little bit but in my book just so you know. No one is less cool than you. Okay you are. You're the michael jordan of nerds. You know. I think that the nerd thing you have to really go back to like with first nerds in movies really like having the castro revenge of the urge you had you the carribean guy and and courtesy name. Strong enam occurs was amazing at doing that. But if you bump in any of those guys we're not the ones yesteryear jason schwartzman. He's not very modern. Either any of these guys these. Because mj michael jordan with trash talk you have a trash talk these other guys like you see schwartzman her bigs whoever and you just throw them against the a wall and say something like you think. You're a nerd. You little hipster toothpick i. I didn't. I didn't even know what a woman looked like naked until i was twenty nine and even now. I'm still a little unclear on some of those specific. Ever say something like that. I mean there'd be like of like. I think that serve mutual. Sort of acknowledgment. That we were doing similar kinds of roles but i think everybody kinda looks really at their own career. And kind of doesn't think you're comparing yourself to other nerds. And they were really in trouble. I guess that would be a very sad moment in your life. Yeah 'cause into nerd. Andy and sort of. Who's more of a more successful nerd. Bob just sad thinking about that. Concert simon helberg. He's another nerd character. Simon helberg who is that. I don't simon helberg vic. He's the guy from the big bang theory. High-end uber nerd are big bang theory. That's a great example. Those guys are the most successful enriches nerds in. Show is nerd as a concept is a little bit outdated like the idea of nerd was people make fun of me for xyz criteria and now that criteria shifted so much that it's like this is the situation. I meant that sucks. Yeah okay right. I see some. This situation is more than situation right. Because then you get out of the this is stereotypically like glasses. Used to be the sign of nerd. And now it's glasses are super cool so you can't be like oh well. This is a nerd. Like if you were to pick out eight nerd in a in a more modern something you wouldn't be like yes because he has glasses and he's a little bit of feminine. This is why he's a nerd because those things are no longer nerdy. Those things are actually very much. The they're cool now. There are also different categorisations. I think of that ideal of what that image of a person is like. There's i can you say nerd. I won't really take that personally. If you'd said ned dish that would have been affected me more that i need to google. That's one of the yiddish expelled. It has it has a vaguely antisemitic. Sort of doesn't translate nothing zero. But i'd say like i'm a scale of nerdiness. It'd be like then nerd. And then every man. And i feel like every man was sort of you know probably more what i i aspired to. Yeah i love them. The media's words there's so descript like where would you put on that skip the cockpit means little crazy. That's right that would be the word and you are you. Do you have any. What's your background in terms of your heritage. I'm baptist. But i was about actually map in in whiskey in alcohol. Not just metaphorically. I mean literally my my. My dad was part of a church where they would they would choose. The did you booze. Oh yeah from that. That's how i was baptized submerged. Me in round whiskey caesarea whiskey. Wow cleansing thing to the to haul probably kill any bacteria on the baby doesn't kill you. Yeah you're very healthy afterward. So so no not a jewish relatives and your background. Now that i know of. I just enjoy ama- linguist i enjoy. Spoken word is funding listening to you to say speaking english words. Yeah like here's one. I like us that means behind. Read that you're trying to sound. I noticed a character based on that one is well not to right center field and call me a cat guide optimists because sometimes they're going to win this game. Here's a hypothetical. Ben if you had a choice between being a big time movie star like apparently you are according to she no or an athlete of your equivalent success level. Which would you choose like it. Would you prefer to be the ben stiller of professional sports say well. Any athlete has a very short lifespan. In terms of what. They're the years are that they can play right at that level. You need to play. So i guess i at least in show business. You have a chance to kind of continually sort of explorer reinvent and hopefully pursue your creative and missions in that way. I don't know how you would want.

"Much and so i had no choice but to hope that is gonna work out. You mentioned that first round of the playoffs. You guys had the bad fortune of running into atlanta hawks and trae young my goodness what a serious run he had so. You're my big question though. Who's haircut would you say is more embarrassing. Cameron diaz in the semen hair seen from something about mary or trae young. Who's got a stupider head of hair. I'm no one to speak is incredibly challenged in that way. I'm not gonna speak to trace hair style choice you know. He's he's an incredibly talented young men. My feeling on that chant was this was sort of the spontaneous explosion of frustration of fifteen thousand fans all of a sudden in an arena for the first time in whatever it is a year and a half people out of their houses it was almost a felt aber in a way it was almost like people were just freaking out definitely can happen so quickly like so quickly. I mean it wasn't like four games in it was like during the first game but that's true about the fuck trae young chan. But do you know that with with. The trae is balding chant. This is true. They actually distributed the garden distributed flyers saying hey everybody made fun trays bald head. They really did do that. They suggested that they chant trays balding. That's awful. That's that's not fair at all. And he's so talented and he drives you so crazy that it takes people to a place like what can i. What can i say this. It's this frustration. But i mean there's really just tribute to how much he drove knicks fans crazy and i had to look inward and say to myself. Why am i feeling these feelings towards this young man who's doing nothing but serving his. I mean look. He did the little. Like ooh the chili thing. Where he himself that really. That really got me. It likes to point where he hits the three point shot from. That's pretty annoying too. I mean he's allowed to do that stuff because he delivered. But i think he enjoyed doing that to garden fans and what. I did think after the first time. When i heard the train chant was and then it didn't make sense to me why he might start taunting the fans back. If you're thousand people saying that to you. I was in a celebrity softball game in janki stadium about twenty years ago and i don't know how i ended up there but i ended up in right field and they started booing me from the right field bleachers. Also really for nothing. I didn't do not for your for your play on the field. No i came out. And then i of course that affected my game my incredibly by level softball skills in right field and it felt awful to have people and if you've ever been booed i don't know that i have. It's the worst feeling to. I know that. I have. Because i've heard it on the recording of the games but i'm almost always so blackout drunk. I don't actually recall it probably gift because it does really affect you. And i spent the whole softball game trying to figure out why they were booing me started going through my career going through even like just what i've done in the game previously which was not much so i could you know understand trade really wanting to stick it to knicks fans. But that's horrible. Walkout ball field. They start to bully amelia big celebrity. Or at least according to chigney. You are and it'd be like you know like an athlete making a cameo in one of your movie like we're going to get i'm gonna ask about brett farve a little bit but just getting booed immediately everybody on saturday in one of those things where. There's no real ask somebody about this. Oh they always boo anybody. Who's in right field and yankee stadium. That can't be true guys lying to you like somebody saying boy. Our numbers on this show material. Oh no every. That's how every every crowd reacts as they give it a terrible score. I'm a new yorker tune. If i had this fellow sensitively betrayal or something but ultimately i never played another celebrity softball game again. We'll let let's talk about your career now because maybe maybe they booed you're based on that. Maybe they didn't send me your your stats. I sent him your imdb page. But ever you you hollywood types call it you know what i noticed would jumped off the page to me. The last time that said knicks were in the conference. Finals was the same year that you were in a music video for the band limp biscuit. So now what's it like knowing that you and your favorite team both equally equally far away from your p. counters that i do look at that as a peak moment. Actually because i think we did that limp biscuit video there was one. We were shooting zoom. We actually on the set of zuma under and we did it. I think it'll lunch hour during the time piece. I look at his time piece in memory of time when things were. Yeah that was long time. Listen i have a theory about that. Because you video appearance i think it might actually curse the knicks. She has a name for that. But what would you call that. Again the fred durst curse the fred durst curse. You believe there might be some truth to the fred durst curse because they boy after that. You're saying that my appearance in the video somehow affected the knicks fortunes in the playoffs. When you say it out. And i like that. It does sound insane stupid but listen. There's nothing to be embarrassed about because that time in history was messy for everybody rap. Rock is something we all knowledge that we did not do enough to prevent in the early two thousand slot like the iraq war. I agree. I take full responsibility for my part in that. Yes some are more complicit than others like you you're kinda the ari fleischer of rap rock. Oh my god don't say that's the that that hurts. Unlike you been my head in the sand. I speak the truth about things anyway looking at this said. Imdb you actually made a sports movie. Bent dodgeball yes. I'm going to guess that growing up. The game dodgeball. Was not that much fun for you. I mean correct me. If i'm wrong but you don't seem like you with a popular athletic here. You see more like the frightened nerd. Curled up in the corner. Trying to avoid headshots was that we are experiencing. Did that lead you to this film did lead to your whole career as an actor that experience you know. I don't know if i was the frightened ner inside i was the frightened outside. I was just a nerd. I think the frightening part was. I tried to hide it. Somehow i was sort of like a middle ground person where i wasn't totally a nerd but it definitely wasn't popular and i was a little bit awkward. I bad skin. I think my frustration angered come out dodgeball games and probably i would go in with this sort of chip on my shoulder. I think being bullied in that ship is a necessary part of anybody and i did. We did have these thoat dodgeball games. When i was in fourth grade fifth grade i remember that being a very dicey thing because you were playing girls and boys and everybody was these kids. Were all like hormonally just bursting at the seams and definitely a very aggressive sport i think was on the receiving end and was also probably too aggressive. Twos dodgeball player. We had the co. Ed dodgeball to taste something. It was traumatic. But it spurred me on. If i don't have a little timmy. Missionary pulling down my gym shorts in seventh grade exposing my bare testicles to the entire class boys and girls. I don't know how to develop the drive to become the man i am today. I mean every success. I have been me saying. Hey look at me now world. I got pubic talented periods. Now veritable tumbleweed proficiency. Some kind of say fuck you to the world with like Lima cubes. I'm ben stiller when me my bush keeps.
The Jim Brockmire Podcast
"stiller" Discussed on The Jim Brockmire Podcast
"Podcast i'm your host former major league baseball announcer and the man who just lost four grand gambling on the national spelling bee. Why did i do that jim. Braude miam- join yet again by my co host and producer. Hey brock meyer. How's it going besides losing a lot of money. Something really stupid. I'm doing pretty good considering pretty hung over and the smell that apple looking for it for the last half hour you know what it turned out to be was it you. Yeah it was me was myself. But i actually though despite all that. I'm feeling quite grateful today. Have you been watching bruno brown videos again. No i have not. And i wouldn't be ashamed if that's why i was grateful. No i'm grateful that i am not calling baseball games right now. What you want to be a major league announcer again. That's literally all you talk about that. But did you see what happened last week to john sterling the the yankees broadcaster. Actually do not. They're not sending broadcasting teams on road games in order to save money and might still be covered related. I don't know but me about okay. So the tv people were showing a replay of aaron. Judge is home run from earlier in the game and sterling didn't realize that he thought it was happening in real time so he called it. He called the replay. I i the baseball announcers worst nightmare. But that is john sterling for you. Put a video in front of that guy. He is going to announce it as why. I refuse to go see movies with them anymore. We got kicked out of the sixth sense because sterling yield. He's been dead the whole time. The yankees win book is dead the coast. He's it's just get a hold of yourself sterling though rap mayor not. I couldn't say for sure. Though that i would not have done the exact same mistake in his situation. See this is one of the many problems with not calling games in person baseball announcers we need to use all of our physical senses to accurately call a gain what we see on the field. How does the weather field. What does luke void smell lag but and his top half smells different from his bottom. Half you want to note that these are important. Facts that make the listener. Feel like they are you. Don't you don't get the same experience over a video. It's like the difference between watching pornography and actually having a sexy step mom. It's a shallow two dimensional recreation of a very beautiful experience. That's actually a totally accurate comparison. Thank you very much. Thank you well. Let's get into today's show but we got a good one got a big famous yesterday. So i'm told what you know. Why don't you tell our guest. Ben stiller what you told me ben. Stiller is one of the biggest stars on the planet which was founded by bennie. Is that you are you. Are you one of the biggest two stars on the planet. Depends plant pretty sure we no. I don't think that's correct information if you go far enough down on the list. I'm sure you're there. I mean we're all there right every human being somewhere on that list. I feel like you get points for just hanging around for a while. So like i've been around for a while just like here just literally existing for going on thirty plus years so maybe that that counts for something. I'm sure it doesn't mean that's what i tell myself. Well who you say. Who would you say is directly above you and below you on the list of celebrities. Who would you put just above just below you. Carrot top would be somewhere above right nearby right hovering close by. I don't get any. I don't get into to renting myself in terms of the sort of strata of stars myself somewhere between marv albert and the snap away. That's right okay yeah. I was quite literally physically between them during a threesome. Back in a way. But that's now the here. No there you are a die-hard new york knicks fame. So quick question. Why the hell is that. His theory is it. Because you as like the knicks you also have a huge fan base that has grown accustomed to disappointment. Some sort of a sympathetic feeling mayor of not never quite giving people what they what they want. I mean i think for me. You know it's it's sort of like social imprinting and i grew up with it at a very young age. You know the way you're just exposed to something at a young age when you're very impressionable and that was where my dad took me the games and you know when i was younger. I was around as a very young age for those championship of some of the championship in nineteen seventy-three championship boy. The way you described the knicks so sentimental like that's where i feel about whip it's and prostitutes kind of fond memory and in the same way you sort of idealized the memory in your mind for me in the next few weapons and prostitutes but there's this idealized memory about that's what it was like when they were in the styles it's of it. Yeah you're right but like so much of our past tend to romanticize it because the woodson prostitutes they were. They were not the picnic. That i think of it as. But you only see the positives when you're looking in the rear view mirror as true but it is roughing knicks fan. I mean back in the nineties. They had some real solid winners. But i'm looking at this joke and it's going even for me is going too far out of my way to circle back just to insult you. I hear he was a joke. I was going to go with ben so back in the nineties. They had some real solid winners but ever since it feels like they just keep meeting the faulkners. There you go five free to go there. And i went there okay so now back to being serious you being a good sport. All things considered a. You had to be pretty happy with this. Past season went for the knicks to everybody's expectations as a fan. Do you think the future looks brighter for the knicks. Or was this just an aberration just a typical nixon way of getting fans hopes up before people promptly crushed the begin well also with the knicks. You never know honestly because they do have that way of kind of always sort of leading you down a path where you think there might be hope and then it always seems to go the worst possible way. You know all of a sudden. They're they're winning winning winning a winning streak and then on huge losing streak and it just seems like over the years. That's been the pattern. So this year in terms of highs and lows with an extended high for us which i think is you know i can't not enjoy that and feel good about that and i think there is hope. The playoffs getting into the first round obviously was very exciting and it was very very tough because then we start to feel like the knicks again. But i think that's part of the sort of the learning curve of what's going on now and i feel like there is real hope for the future. This offseason will determine a lot of how what moves they make and How they build them on what they started. I think they have some great pieces. I'm i think there was a chemistry team. Unfortunately i think in the past. I've seen the knicks of really tended to break up the chemistry that exists. You know detroit just break something down. That was working. And i'm sure these people who were on the team. No probably more than i do. I would hope. I'm not so sure that must be hard though when you get hopeful about the knicks to just feel like. You're watching charlie brown run up on the football with lucy or do do you actually have hope when you're a true fan of a team. You always have hope because you can't help it. You're a fan of the team. i never been. I was a yankee fan as a kid back in the late seventies which was a great time to be yankee fan and then i sort of dropped off. I think i've just lost an emotional connection with the team. But the knicks. For some reason. And i have to be honest when i lived in los angeles for about twenty years in the nineties and i wasn't that connected with the team. I never went to the lakers. I was never ever going to become a lakers fan. But i didn't really stay in touch with the knicks really emotional level and when i moved back to new york about eleven twelve years ago. I really reconnected. But i think that you just don't have any choice. You're you're with your team. That means that the pain is much greater but the highs are.

Biden Signs $1.9 Trillion American Rescue Plan Into Law
"I'm Chris Foster the Democrats coronavirus, financial relief and stimulus plan to sign into law by President Biden. Historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country on giving people this nation working people middle class folks, people built the country of fighting chance. Nearly $2 trillion American rescue plan passed with precisely zero Republican support in the House or the Senate. Presented a plan at the White House. The president found two beef two small so Democrats with their new majorities in the House and Senate. Go it alone, passing the first bill dividing presidency. Well, they really wanted was to find a way to go. Sure in their liberal progressive pay everybody built in Scott's Republican senator from South Carolina. We spoke to him yesterday. Unfortunately, they were able to succeed at that, but hopefully we'll have a chance to push back on it. It is one of the most ridiculous pieces of legislation that has so little to do with covert relief and everything to do with the progressive wish list. I mean, you could have these calls for bipartisanship, but in the end, they really they just needed Joe Manchin and other centrist Democrats, right? Absolutely. When you look at what they've done, they were able to Tonto. I don't want to go or buy off, but they were able to negotiate with the mansion. To lower the unemployment from 400 to 300, But then they extended it. The September said. In a different way, I believe what we sit what we saw happen. There was the are now paying people to stay home even longer, Not through June or July. But now through September. And interestingly enough, Chris the unemployment rate has gone down, not up. We had 379,000 new jobs added to the economy. The last thing we need to do is extend the unemployment benefits until September, when in fact the recovery as fragile as it is. Continues. Center. Ah, lot of Americans are very happy about are going to be very happy about this film, including some of your constituents. South Carolina's got something like the 10th highest poverty rate in the country and a lot of people. Gonna be very happy to get this child tax credit and getting essentially huge races in their take home pay. What do you tell them? Well, Chris, this is this is a baby. Well, honestly, the road to socialism starts with one step. And the bottom line is that what we're looking at here is not paying people for increased production, not paying people for increased challenges that were brought on by the government. They're simply making this into Progressive approach, ushering in the first few steps of socialism, and that is a huge challenge. A new study shows that all the covert stimulus caused each American $17,000. That That means that we're simply pushing ourselves in the wrong direction with these resource is being put out there. But, yeah, people like money. There's no question about that. But when they understand that they have to pay it back. You like it less when you add interest on top of that they like it even less. And when they understand that they may be compromising the future of the next generation of Americans by spending money today that we don't have that we have to borrow from China. That the bad thing for every single American in every single American child that we have the generations to come will face an avalanche of debt unnecessarily. So because of $2 trillion under the guise of covert relief, when, in fact, it's social policy that transforms the American economy. And now this, I mean, look, it's only got through because of budget reconciliation. We're spending bills. Be passed with 50 votes and no filibuster right now. Other than spending bills are Democrat. Is this a last gasp for them? Or are they gonna get anything through their voting rights bill The House passed this week and infrastructure playing this gun legislation pending If they can't If they can't get any GOP votes on anything. Might they just throw their hands up and say Fine? We're killing the filibuster. Everything needs 50 votes. Way I watched your mansion trying to walk through that minefield on Sunday, and the truth of the matter is what he said Woz that he is willing to make the filibuster harder to use that is very dangerous. Stiller Buster conversation is a slippery slope. We know that you give the Democrats inch They want a mile, and that's not good for the American people. And frankly, the agenda of the left is so radical that the center right country that we still have Is going to have an allergic reaction to the medicine brought to the table. And that may be very good for us in 2022, prayerfully and 2024, But Maurin importantly, it is just bad policy and the stench of it will, I think made people noxious. The more we see the thought that we're going to give a 16 year old the rights of vote because they believe they do better with younger people that we do doesn't sound like they're looking for a way to level the playing field. The thought that they want to nationalize elections. We should be looking for ways to limit Mail in ballots, not expand mail in ballots. We should be looking for ways to expand voter. I d not eliminate voter I d. So what they're trying to do is position this country not to recover from their lurch and then leaked to the far far far left. Those are dangerous position in their HR one. And you and I both know that we're gonna have to fight tooth and nail to protect the second Amendment. We are in for that fight. We're in it to win it. We will, because America was founded on the concept that we must be. We must have. The resource is in the arms necessary to defend ourselves, period. And that must stand and that is one of the things that's one of the reasons we should be very thankful for our Constitution, and especially

But there's an assistant. Still, there's a character kill Mitchell in the movie and tell is a guy who can turn himself invisible, but he could only turn invisible when nobody's looking She gonna, like, Take his word for right. So I was just thinking about that with an argument during the break there, Murph. It was It was a really good debate. Polly. It was really good for the air. You're just gonna have to take our word for Yes, I believe it will hear it. Actually, I think the listeners can fill in pretty much the dialogue themselves, You know, I mean, we've gone through this so many times you could be like and then Cope says this One point in the inner in one point, though, in the argument following I just blurted out, Johnny United US just threw that out there just to kind of take a left turn and kind of went like Screw Johnny United Man. Forget that did at one point we were talking about Russ Wilson quarterback in the Bucks. I owe you one point in the argument. A Dak Prescott quarterback in the world right now, What are we talking about? Jamie Danny White quarterback and pounds, etcetera. All right, let's change the subject. Dan Pastorini. His name came up at some point change the subject for at least the next 20 minutes. I'm sure we'll return to it at some point. The next 45 look forward to it.

He was like, I'm really worried about the tackle situation like he's okay. I'm worried. I'm extremely worried about today. Just drop Murph just dropped its over it. So you guys know May I get friends on and then when the game comes, I'm ready to go. Yeah. All right. Here's the deal. Uh, so last night was you know, last night to me was a Super Bowl media night. I watched all that stuff. But there was good NBA last night was a lot of good MBA. By the way, the Mavericks just keep losing that the world's gonna play the maverick they've now lost like if anybody cares the maverick certain crisis. Devin Booker came back last night had a game winner. The Suns won a game beat Dallas. Um you had the King's one last night, Dear Fox went off last night. By the way, 38 points scored 17 straight at one point, Paulie, I need a little Luke Walton on the King's winning four out of five here to put the pieces together. Just took a little bit longer than we had expected. Yeah, come in. So the King's heir Looking a little bit better. But then there's the Lakers. You finished up by the way, I think, a two week road trip my God, but they were down in Atlanta, and there's coasters bringing this up. The Hawks are allowing fans in now. Like Let's get into that for five seconds because I didn't really get to see the rest of the arena. I only saw the clip of the incident. But like, how many fans are we talking about? Like how many fans in the building? You know what good question. I'll look that up because I don't know where, like the pandemic numbers like they're people are. It's crazy out there right now. They're 8 to 10 arenas that I think there were like, six or eight at the start of the season that we're allowing them based on just whatever the local 12,000 just started. It's always been like a week or a week and a half. I think for the Hawks, Yeah, OK, 4000 needles. Well, that's a start of a small number. Actually, I take it back the magic or allowing 4000. The Hawks allowed 1319 100 small crowd. Okay, well of the 1300 to our very special one was a guy who apparently was heckling LeBron from his courtside seats, and the other was his much younger wife. Who was immediately labeled Hopes and you can help out me the old crowd here with the young lingo, the n I G Cougar. I believe she was called right Instagram Cougar, Right? It's interesting because he's she identifies as a 25 year old woman, which that was the whole key to this whole thing. I was first introduced to her on social media as all now LeBron getting into it with I G Cougars and I clicked on the link, and there was LeBron And a woman engaging in verbal Back and forth. Yes, bat right. She had a mask. But then it was down Coast Shiva cocktail. At one point they were drinking. I mean, there's a reference in this place they were drinking. The crazy thing is then later on, we're gonna find out. She then declares herself 25 years old, which is definitely not Cougar territory, so and it does look like some work's been done. Some modifications, some facial modifications, the Internets amazing. His people found all sorts of information on this woman immediately that she's got quite the instagram page of her own beauty shots. I see. I see her husband and has posted lots of pictures, and he appears to be significantly older. Right? And sugar. Daddy, I believe they're called. He likes a good tanning booth to policy. You gotta go to the bullies. Get out of town. He's gotta get 10. Yeah. You keep your you know well, the woman gets ejected from the game for apparently saying stuff to LeBron to get her run. But this being 2021 we get to hear her side because on her instagram, and by the way, she's got all the makeup on..
Dogma Debate
Republican Congressman vs. David C. Smalley
"Let's jump straight in. Because i want to bring our guest in on the conversation immediately. He's a former congressman from virginia's fifth district he's now nc are is chief strategist and author of bigfoot. It's complicated which. I really hope we have time to get into and i really hope. He's still a republican. Let's find out join me in welcoming denver riggleman to the show. Thanks for joining me today. Sir thanks for having me sir. Oh well you heard that with us for the first time it just came out moments ago. What are your thoughts. So i'd like to state as we start here. The president trump reid tweeted a few months ago that the joe biden. Kill seal team six. I think god you're right. No you know. That's and that's what i was when i was listening to that speech after what i heard Down near the white house right before the siege on the capital. In fact that i've been in. Congress have been in the house. And i knew some of those people that spoke like madison call or mo brooks of talked to many times Don jr. meant obviously rudy giuliani I've met obviously and and what i really saw. Their david was absolute Language to incite really. It happened over the months and months and to hear that right now. My my first reaction is not really a politician but as an intelligence officer and something counter-terrorism like somebody's very afraid of the senate trial for impeachment. I thought the same thing Michael came in a few seconds in michael goes. Looks like a hostage video like he looks like he like. It's not really his words. He just feels the need to say these things he had to. I mean you know. The thing is is that his his term does end. I know that there are some people that are still listening to pastures and trucks talking about biblical prophecy that president trump is right now hidden a bunker and mike. Flynn is going to be the next vice president but by the way that's true. I just saw this video two days ago. One hundred eighty five thousand likes david on a facebook video from some dude in a truck saying that you know he's a pastor and had biblical prophecy and he just went through the whole cunanan thing and i just shaking my head about the ridiculousness out there. But he still wants to keep his brand to. He's got to make money. And how's he going to do that. And i think there's a lot of things you need to worry about. And that speech was the copa. That was so too late and show not anything that he said before that very hard to believe men. You're spot on. I mean. I i you know about damn time is the first reaction and then does he even believe the stuff he's saying is the second reaction So late you know so late to the party So that so that my listeners have a little bit background as to why this conversation between the two of us is so important You know you're you're only a former congressman because apparently you weren't conservative enough for your district right you. You lost to someone who was far more conservative and on top of that. I've seen you. I've seen pictures. Anyway of you officiating. Same sex wedding so you don't sound very republican the to us sir. What's going what's going on over there. Why are you so open minded and logical. You know when iran. You know. i've only been. I don't know people know this about me. I was i was a ceo. sell my company in two thousand twelve doing counterterrorism and counterintelligence work. Could you know not. Only that i can. I can go back in time. If i told you the crazy stuff. I've done like we mission plan. The first bombing runs death in afghanistan for nine eleven. that was our squadron. It was me Oman training omanis on. F16 sixteen operations in two thousand and ninety nine. I was on. The romanian serbian border for operation. Allied for trying to stop ethnic cleansing. I've had a hell of a life and that's just the beginning counter idea. Actually our team that was tracking sulejmani and two thousand six two thousand seven so when people saw my resume like this son of a gun never been in politics before when i ran as a republican i was asked to because the my predecessor had to resign because of alcoholism. Which is a little ironic. Since i'm going to stiller. I one on accident one by one. Vote against a christian. Dominion est They called me a baby killing sodomite But i thought if if practicality and i was a good guy team player like in my military days voted independently when i had to I thought i would see that. I care about people more than the career. Because i didn't need the paycheck and sadly after the same sex wedding david conspiracy theory started about me that i was working for soros to turn children into alternative lifestyles by funding schools. To teach that doug gay sex was okay. And that i really started saying cunanan was turning and blossom and this was back in twenty nineteen and since my background is in you tracking isis and al qaeda and disinformation and radicals. I said this also looks like that. We have almost the same type of thing here. We have people that are using language of dehumanisation and antisemitic. Tropes to go after people. And you know it's like a lot my book right. It's about bigfoot belief systems and take over people's lives so really been a hell of a time for me. I never thought that My family we get death threats You know i never you know. I never thought that. I can tell you this. Now that somebody would remove the lug nuts are in them all up on my right front tire at a rally where i came out and felt funny and took it to a shop and look like they tried to hurt me pretty bad so this has been one of my life has been like for the past two years david. And guess what athem you know. This is what they want to bring it. Bring it because i got fifty acres of distillery and i'm a second amendment guy and but i'm also a free thinker and pretty socially libertarian. So i don't know where. I fit bud

40,000 airline workers brace for mass layoffs
"About 40,000 airline workers are facing lay off tomorrow unless Congress comes up with a miracle. A clause for the $25 billion. A package at the beginning of the pandemic prevented them from laying off workers, but that expires tomorrow. Congress has been considering a second round of airline aid for weeks, but it's hung up in the debate over a larger national relief package. Ohio Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan on the House Democrats latest coffer of 2.2 trillion on. That plan would revive a $600 per week jobless benefit and send a second round of $1200 direct payments to most individuals. Is this the moment for compromise with Republicans? Democrats? God, I hope so. I mean, when you see the rates of people who are worried about, you know, paying their bills, bankruptcy, losing their home, you know, evictions. Stiller out there small businesses, restaurants. Now is the time. I mean, if we can't do it now, it's not gonna happen. And, you know, now we're talking into November. I think we're gonna lose a lot of businesses that will never come back. We have to act now. Final question to some practical matter. Procedurally speaking, if it doesn't get on a fiscal stimulus doesn't get done before the November 3rd election is December 11th and next cliff, so to speak, when we could see stimulus moving People are trying to figure out when that stimulus is going when that is going to come on the calendar, my history and 18 years in Congress is that it goes up right to the deadline, so I would say Yeah, I would be probably early December. We don't go back till after the election. Then you have Thanksgiving and then a couple weeks in early December, so that would make the most sense. But I will get it done now because the ramifications when we're talking about December 11th as opposed to October 11th are significant for millions of people who will be really, really hurt by this.

"Hello, everybody. Welcome to fatness Garra I. Am Jess. I'm Jen. It's a Thursday double episode in the we liken this rhythm and it seems like you guys might be into it too. I think. So anyway, I we actually recorded this a little bit early, the interview and the intro. As you listen to this on Thursday I'm going to be in the middle of nowhere camping with my husband's just think of me think protective. No mosquito thoughts, I know my summer vacation right now bringing to protect yourself. I have. I haven't oil-based repellent also have the off spray with the DA and we we are trialing a tent. We have our regular ten, but this company let us try to attend that goes on top of the car. So I won't be sleeping on ground level right now while you're listening to this, I'm up in the air somewhere on top of my jeep in the middle of Maine. Hopefully, not getting bit by mosquitoes. How's that? For Beauty Pike? Wait to see you're going GonNa, take photos, of course, right of this tenth that goes on top of the car. Yeah. I can't remember the name of what it is. But like I'm kind of excited and we figured it was a safe mine has been safe. They're letting people in from New York. We're bringing our masks were camping by ourselves. So we can enjoy the outdoors safely, and that's like a good way to get away for just a little bit and like you know refresh don't roll off the car nervous. Very. Nervous thing back next week. Next week. We'll talk about it, but now we have a big juicy interview. Okay. Let's do now. I love Dr Paul Frank. He's amazing. He for full disclosure a good friend. He's a great friend, but he is also one of my most trusted dermatological sources. This guy knows every technology before everyone else I mean, I'm not. I'm being Harper, bollock because like I really think he's the best, but he really is like my go-to hotline to what's coming down the pipeline, what you know what the hot trends are. He just got his finger on the pulse and I'm so excited to bring him back for a second time. He is one of our only two time guests. We had him about three years ago to talk about all things like. noninvasive light Oh and we want to talk about his new book. Now, it's called the pro aging playbook Dr Frank is he works with lots of celebrities, and he's to discreet to name all of them and he also consulted lots of different big brands and not only is he fabulous? He is a board certified dermatologist though, but he's also clinical assistant professor at the icon. It can. Oh, God, Dr Frank Don't Kill Me School of. Medicine. At Mount, Sinai welcome Dr Frank. Dr Frank. You are one of the busiest Durham's out there. You've got a lot of celebrity clients. You've got a very big practice. You're always doing TV appearances. You you're a very big on TIKTOK. We know this. Okay. You're not doing your take type performances. Why did you decide that you needed to write another book I? mean, that's big. Endeavor. Temporary Insanity. I coned wrote a book nineteen years ago when there were these new things that were experimental called. In. Stiller. And after the work out like okay. And I check off the box to do that again. But I wrote a second book because the had an idea to go against the grain a little bit and write about something that people would expect the lease from a beauty book and certainly one from Cosmetic Dermatology book, and that is hopefully with pro aging playbook is all about. All. Right. So I WANNA to talk about the title, the title when you told me the title I kind of like like I I, got like a like you definitely caught me off guard, but the title pro aging playbook because there's been a lot of discussion about the term Teijin. The past couple of years, we had Michelle Leon, the editor in chief of allure about a year and a half ago, and she put a huge stake in the ground. By saying, we are banning the term anti-aging. She wants to ditch entirely in the background, a lot of press, and you're going a step further. Further and you're saying pro aging. What does pro aging mean while it? Basically a backlash to the negative stigma that generations of people have had toward agent and I think a lot of it is just one big marketing ploy, the term anti-aging. The fact that aging is a bad thing and we have to inject laser moisturizers. Serum is extra dies Diet, get back to a younger state and to me the biggest events I've seen in my field is not injectables. Lasers is in the outlook in perspective we have towards beauty now, which I think is a very positive thing and it can be empowering. Up The audience out there, that has not gotten over the stigma. That is what I'm trying to achieve in the pro aging label and one that I don't think you'd expect from someone like, Ray.

The New Yorker: Fiction
Deborah Treisman Reads David Foster Wallace
"Chosen a story to read and I asked listeners to submit questions for me to discuss through our twitter and facebook pages. The story I've chosen is good. People by David Foster Wallace which was published in the New Yorker in January of two thousand seven all the different angles ways. They come at the decision together did not ever included the word for had he wants said. It avowed that he did love her. Love Cherry Fisher then it all would have been transformed. It would not be a different stance or angle but a difference in the very thing. They were praying deciding on together. I chose a story in part because it was the last piece that I worked on with David Foster Wallace before his death in two thousand eight and because our correspondence about the story stayed very vividly in my memory and came to mind when he died. The story was eventually part of the Pale King. David Foster Wallace's posthumous novel which was published in. Two thousand eleven at the time that he sent it to me in December of two thousand six. Though I'm not sure that he knew it was going to end up as part of the novel he was working on. It may have been a separate story then or it might have been an outtake that he wasn't planning to include in his note to me. He identified it as a short fiction. Submission the fact. The story is in a sensory thinking of Hemingway's nineteen twenty seven story hills like white. Elephants also makes me suspect that it was first written as a self contained piece. In Wallace's story and in Hemingway's a young couple for would not be convenient to have a baby talk awkwardly around the idea of abortion without ever using the word in the Wallace Story. Unlike in the Hemingway. The young couple are devout Christians who have to grapple with the concept from that point of view as well as you will hear. I'll be talking some more after the story but now here's good. People by David Foster Wallace good people. They were up on a picnic table at the park by the lake by the edge of Lake with part of a down tree in the shallows half hidden by the Bank Lane Dean junior and his girlfriend both in blue jeans and button up shirts. They sat up on the tables top portion and had their shoes on the bench part that people sat on a picnic or fellowship together and carefree times it gone to different high schools but the same junior college where they had met in campus ministries. It was springtime and the parks grass was very green in the air suffused with honeysuckle and lilacs. Both which was almost too much. There were bees and the angle of the sun made the water of the shallows. Look dark there had been more storms that week with some down trees in the sound of chainsaws all up and down. His parents street their postures on the picnic table. We're both the same forward kind with their shoulders rounded and elbows on their knees in this position the girl rocked slightly and once put her face in her hands but she was not crying. Lane was very still an immobile and looking past the bank at the down tree in the shallows and it's ball of exposed roots going all directions and the trees cloud of branches all half in the water. The only other individual nearby was dozen space tables away by himself standing upright looking at the torn up hole in the ground. There were the tree gone over. It was still early at an all. The shadows wheeling right and shortening. The girl were thin old checked cotton shirt with pro coloured snaps with the long sleeves down and always smelled very good and clean like someone you could trust and care about. Even if you weren't in Love Lane. Dean had liked the smell of her right away. His mother called her down to Earth and liked her thought she was good people. You could tell she made this evident in little ways the shallow slapped from different directions at the tree as if almost teething on it sometimes when alone and thinking or struggling to turn a matter over to Jesus Christ in prayer he would find himself putting his fist in his palm and turning it slightly as if still playing and pounding his glove to stay sharp and alert and center. He did not do this now. It will be cruel and indecent to do this now. The older individual stood beside his picnic table. He was added but not sitting unlooked also out of place in a suit coat or jacket and the kind of men's hat lanes grandfather wore and photos as a young insurance man. He appeared to be looking across the lake. If he moved lane. Didn't see it. He looked more like a picture than a man. There were not any ducks in view. One thing lane did was reassure her again that he'd go with her and be there with her. It was one of the few safer decent things he could really say the second time. He said it again now. She shook her head and laughed in an unhappy way. That was more just air out her nose. Her real life was different where he be was the waiting room. She said that he'd be thinking about her and feeling bad for her. She knew but he couldn't be in there with her. This was so obviously true that he felt like a nanny that he'd kept on about it and now knew what she thought. Every time he went. Set it it hadn't brought her comfort or ease the burden at all the worse. He felt the stiller. He sat the whole thing felt balanced on a knife or wire if he moved to put his arm up or touch her. The whole thing could tip over. He hated himself for sitting so frozen. He could almost visualize himself tiptoeing. Pass something explosive. A big stupid looking tiptoe like in a cartoon the whole last black had been this way and it was wrong. He knew it was wrong. Knew something was required of him. That was not this terrible frozen care and caution but he pretended to himself did not know what it was was required. He pretended it had no name. He pretended that not saying aloud. What he knew to be right and true was for her sake was for the sake of her needs and feelings. He also worked dock and routing at ups on top of school but a trade it to get the day off after they decided together two days before he had awakened very early and tried to pray but could not. He was freezing more and more solid. He felt like that he had not thought of his father the blank frozenness of his father even in church which had once filled him with such pity. This was the truth lane. Dean junior felt son on one arm as he pictured in his mind an image of himself on a train waving mechanically to something that got smaller and smaller as the train pulled away. His father and his mother's father had the same birthday. A cancer Sherry's hair was coloured almost corn blonde very clean the skin through central part pink in the sunlight. They'd sat here long enough. That only their right side was shaded. Now he could at her head but not at her different parts of him felt unconnected to each other. She was smarter than him and they both knew it. It wasn't a school lane was an accounting and business and did all right. He was hanging in there. She was a year older twenty but it was also more. She had always seemed to lane to be on good terms with her life. In a way that age could not account for his mother had put it that she knew what is she wanted which was nursing and not an easy program at Peoria Junior College and plus she worked hostessing at the embers and had bought her own car. She was serious in a way lane light. She had a cousin that died when she was thirteen. Fourteen that she'd loved and been close with only talked about it that once. He liked her smell and her down the arms and the way she exclaimed when something made her laugh he like just being with her and talking to her she was serious in her faith and values in a way that lane had liked and now sitting here with her on. The table found himself. Afraid of this was an awful thing. He was starting to believe that he might not be serious. In his faith he might be somewhat of a hypocrite like the Assyrians in Isaiah which would be a far graver sending the appointment. He has decided he believed

The Struggle Bus: Self-Care, Mental Health, and Other Hilarious Stuff
Heavy Social Distancing
"Feel like everyone is pretty freaked out about crony virus for very good reason. It's very freaky and it just seemed like I don't know like why not it's for you and me like we got something out of it. We get to talk and hang out and maybe stop thinking about her for a little while and also for the struggle buddies who maybe just like want something. I feel like a lot of people are trying really hard to think about Think about things and watch things and listen to things that aren't completely terrifying also elections and politics and there's a lot happening in the world so we're trying to do something nice for you while we're both well at least speaking on my behalf freaking out a little. Bit New York just declared a state of emergency and there's a bunch of things my show might be cancelled. There's there's a lot of things happening right now. That are very scary for me and I could really use this fun time with you sally. Yeah let's have a fun time. I'm I'm doing okay. I mean I find this to be pretty scary just I feel Scared about like the the fact that the dumbest meanest man on the planet is in charge of taking care of us right now. That feels scary. I I worry about people who can't work from home or like don't have paid leave which we should all have right now. We should all have that always anyway. people who like have to go to work You know like the fact that we can't rely on the government to support US during a healthcare crisis of this magnitude is just like fucking awful in scary so that is getting me down and like it's also just like you know if you read enough science fiction you know this is the this is kind of like the nightmare. Fuel of many a dystopia novel. So it's scary shit And you know at the same time I feel like it's important to be kind of realistic about you. Know what the data is showing us. And what the risks are and stuff like that because I personally Work really hard not to spiral down the drain of catastrophic thinking. And so this has really put me to the test But you know I'm doing okay. I'm doing okay And I have to say PA- go ahead go ahead. I was going to say it's hard not to You know when when people like myself and you have a catastrophic thinking earnings when it actually does happen when the bad things do happen to recognize it and also understand like okay. This is real. This is not in my imagination and honor it and give it some space and let yourself sit with it because it is you know. I don't want to bum everyone out but this is very serious. It's very and the way in which you put it. I think is the best way is that we wish that the people we elected the people we pay their taxes to Would be helping us out more and unfortunately we are now helping our neighbors out quite literally and figuratively without getting into great detail. I do have people directly affected by this virus who have been tested positive. And that's very scary to me. Not because I can't get over it because I'm younger and healthy as it were but I know people whose immune systems are compromised or people who are older and it would terrify me to pass this on. So I'm rethinking the Wayne which I'm doing many things right now because it's it's here and it's happening in Israel. Yeah Yeah Yeah I agree I'm like I have to say that. Like today has been better for me than yesterday because this is the first day that. I'm seeing a lot of places and people and like things rethink what they're doing and I you know I i. There are like much more event cancellations and much more of things like closing down and schools closing and stuff like that which you know it. It sucks and is terrible and it. It harms people financially and the whole thing is really fucked up and at the same time this is what needs to happen to contain this to the extent that we can and what I yesterday and earlier in the week I was getting I was feeling really anxious like it just felt like so many people were behaving like business is business as usual like people who were holding big events or going into work or were employers some employers stiller doing it and it's terrible And I feel today like like. There's more of a like kind of wakeup call and I don't. I don't know if it's because of like Tom. Hanks Wilson's husband about that. Yeah I feel like it's because Rita Wilson's husband tested positive and So now people are taking it seriously so you know I like the whole thing is really scary but I guess what I'm saying is that like there are also reasons to like be reassured throughout all of this So anyway I don't know I guess we maybe. Let's not talk about because many people don't want to hear the survival rate is very high. I mean the chances of succumbing to this very low so it's sort of important to note that but I think you brought up a great point that at least we're now looking at societal contract. We're looking at the fact. Pay Leave things like that are now becoming real to people if they weren't before So I think that's that's the silver lining I guess. Yeah Oh there's one more silver lining sally. Tell me Watson the dog next door. Oh yeah now that. His owners are working from home. No more barking. Oh my God I had. I left some good news. I have slept so well. 'cause watching doesn't bark when the owners leave because they're not only in fact. I saw him on the street today. I'm like working from home. They don't know me in real life so I didn't say hi to them but I watched them across the street and I was like well. Well well. The Old Silver Lining Watson is finally S. T. F.
True Mysteries of the Pacific Northwest
What is Myth and what is Mystery
"Welcome to kids myths and mysteries sime. Your host can crumb today. What is a myth? What is a mystery? After after more than two hundred podcasts. Under the umbrella terms of Beth than mystery I decided it was time to define exactly what constitutes a myth mystery. The simple answer is it. A myth is usually a traditional story. Often considered folklore and a mystery is something that is unexplained or unknown tone but there was a fine line where mystery and myth blur one into the other. A mystery may exist for so long with no resolution that becomes a myth or folklore. Take for example. My podcast January eleventh two thousand nineteen Scotland's mystery lighthouse. It's a the story of three experienced. Seamen that mandalite house. They vanished without a trace. Nobody's washed ashore. Nobody body was ever found. Their fate was never discovered. Now that's a mystery. The Myth is a story that came out of the lighthouses. Long described a huge storm yet the locals in the area so that there was no storm before or on the date mentioned in the diary. Why would three season semen describe a storm that never existed? Did the student took place around nineteen hundred. The storm that never was has become something Nova myth or folklore among locals that refused used visit the island and the lighthouse there. Now that's a good example of myth and mystery sharing the space in the same story. Then there are mystery. He said are declared myth like the flying saucer. The crash lol Roswell initially the crash and the wreckage were confirmed by local military and instant mystery because of the unknown factor surrounding the flying saucer but roughly twenty four hours after the crash. Military brass declared cler was a weather balloon. Bam Mystery Reduced to myth the. What about the myth? That's turned from folklore into a mystery. A powerful myth that involves Hani Valley. That's in Canada's northwest. Territories is of a bear dog. The Hani Valley was untouched by the last ice. Age and most of the valley is virtually unexplored even today the DNA Indians at once lived along the Nonni River who's on sisters now live urban yellowknife in the surrounding regions. Speak of an animal that had the body short legs of a bare but the head and the tail of a dog folklore right. Maybe not a complete skeleton of the creature resides in a museum in British Columbia. The discovery of that skeleton turned an ancient myth or folklore into a mystery. Initially you say no. When the skeleton was discovered a turned that bit of folklore in fact get stiller's mystery it is the evolution of that bear? Dog that is the mystery. Perhaps the best example of a myth becoming a mystery as Peru's mocks you picture the existence. The Mountain City was a myth though. I need to mention here that it was only a myth to Europeans explores the local farmers had known about the ancient ruins for generations and farm the surrounding areas. Anyway the city was a myth that explore been wanted to track down then he did and and in the annals of modern architecture went from myth to mystery mystery because although the city had been raised out of the clouds of folklore myth myth it remained a mystery to this day who built the city live there and why from these three examples. It's my hope that you can see how myth and mystery often go hand in hand have why I chose those terms myth and mystery from my podcasts.
