Most of the most of the game, but we were able to kind of just chip away and get this big hit so we needed to. Padres first baseman, Jake cronin, with tied the score with a solo home run in the 5th inning before Kansas City chased Darvish in the 6th. Darvis would take the loss allowing four runs on 6 hits over 5 and a third innings as the Padres have now lost 9 of their last 11 games, Philip gone, San Diego

"It got very emotional. It was your relationship with Vinny. I mean, I know you guys were friends because you ever talked about drumming, did you ever do any clinics or Nam? Absolutely. Tell us about that. We were talking about drumming all the time, influences. When we were on tour together, of course, we would talk about who our favorite drummers were and things and Vinny Vinny would always say to me, oh dude, you know that licked and AIR I kind of ripped that off, you know? You say things like that to me and vice versa. There's been some things. One of my favorite Vinnie licks is off of the southern trend pill record as a song called war nerve, he plays his ass off on that song. That's one of my favorite Vinny performances. And we're trying to put that song on the set list too. That's one of my favorite one of those songs that when you hear it, there's like so many parts in it. It's a bit of a challenge that song. But like I said, that's one of my favorite Vinny performances. You know, and then hell yeah, we're out on a bunch of dates we did in Asia a couple of years ago and the Van Halen record had just come out. The new one. All we did was talk about that. That's all we did. And then when we'd be getting on a plane, me and him would be going because we loved that album. It was so good. And state frosty and the thing that we would stay was like, ah, man, I wish Daryl was here to hear this record. He would love it. Because it was such a Van Halen record, you know? It's a great record. People that don't rate that record are wrong because it is a great record. You're right. And a lot of people slept on that record. They should really give it another chance. Don't listen to the first song. Don't let that dictate the record because after that first song, that record is awesome. You got to tell Zach that Zach didn't want to rate it either. I was like, dude, you got to listen to it. There's some solos on there that are amazing. Yeah, he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it. I know he just talked to him about it. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Tell him he's right. If you want to be a monkey, you got to eat a lot of rice. I guarantee you by this time next year, I will have Zach listening to that record. Yeah, just playing the solo from honey baby lover dollar. Such a great tune, man. That's cool. But that's the thing and we've talked about this when Vinny passed away we did a big celebration of his life, but those guys just love music and listening to music and ZZ-Top or scanner or slayer or whatever, anything in between, they were into it. And that kind of comes out in the pantera songs themselves. I totally agree. There's a lot of Van Halen. I always felt in pantera. Even a song like new level, there is a piece of like loss of control in there. Good call. Dimes leaves sometimes have a very eddy, that's kind of Van Halen, but it's very Darrell too. So all of us, if you grew up in that time, you can not avoid but having some of that van inhaling come out in you, you know? Right. There's a great nod to Van Halen in the same song new level where Vinny just hits the bell of the ride, just like Alex did on out of love. Yeah. It's like, I always start. Yeah. I always thought he did that as a nod to Alex. I'm sure he did. And once again, the comparisons between, you know, okay, here's a brother that plays guitar and brother plays drums in Van Halen, same thing with pantera, you know? You know, Darrell's funeral, I'll tell the story really quick. I'm gonna take your time. We were sitting in the family room was just me and Vinny and Rex actually came in and retro sitting next to me. And Eddie Van Halen came in and he was carrying the tart case. And I had never met any Van Halen before. And it was a very strange, I'm feeling these emotions and then Eddie Van Halen walked in. Right. I was just like, oh my God, this is Eddie Van Halen right here. And he brings the guitar cases and I can see there's a piece of tape that's so old and boring, but it says VH two. And Eddie hugs Vinny and shakes my hand and takes Rex's hand and he kind of squats down and opens up a guitar case and I said, all right, he's telling me, I know this was your brother's favorite of my guitars, the black and yellow stripe. And he's like, this is the one from the back of Van Halen too. I was like, oh my God, this is so crazy. And he's like, I want to put it in with him. I want it to be buried with him. Oh, wow. And I couldn't believe this. I was like, wow, what a beautiful gesture. And we walked into the other room and he placed it in there with Daryl. And I just know Daryl was so happy about that, you know? And even now that I think about it and I get kind of choked up because of the way it happened and I was just a beautiful moment that he did that. It's like the Egyptians used to put a coin in your hands so you had something to pay the ferryman. Now dime has a guitar to play in heaven. The Van Halen. And I remember once again, it's so insane that both of those dudes are gone, but I remember for Vinny's wake funeral, you played drunk. Didn't you play as drums on stage? I got up and did like a little eulogy thing and they had his kid up there and I just couldn't help myself but to play one of Vinny's beats on it. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. That's been a terrific, you know? But those guys, man, they were so what a great brotherhood that they had the two of them, you know? Yeah. You don't get that a lot anymore. And those guys loved each other so much. Vinnie would tell me after dime passed, he's like, I don't know what to do. He was the first person I talked to. Every day. I don't think Vinny ever really recovered from Daryl's death. I agree times a thousand and then basically had him tell me that a couple of times. You know, it's funny because we just had two AW shows one on Saturday in Arlington, which is where the brothers were from. And then Wednesday and Garland, which is also kind of south Dallas. And both times I was there, I was like, man, every time I go to Dallas, I always think about Vinny. And if he was, if he was here, he'd be at the show asking for 15 tickets. Exactly. And you know, you want to hear something weird too. Next year, the Metallica date is in Arlington, and it's the weekend of Daryl's birthday. Wow. Exactly. Huge, right? Let's talk a little about what we're since we're talking about the Bros. I love your kick drum heads. Oh yeah. People haven't seen it. It's an amazing airbrush painting of Daryl on one, holding a shot in Vinny on the other holding a shot. What a great idea. First of all, was that your idea and second of all, did you paint those? No, I didn't paint them. Steven Thompson, who does a lot of the anthrax designing and stuff like that with me. He did them. He did such a great job. He captured, he just captured them so great. And both are raising a shot, which was so pantera. Yeah. I mean, those home videos are some of the funniest and some of the greatest things. I mean, they could cheer you up when you're having such a shit day and you watch that. This is so much fun going on. I will say that too, those guys live life to the fullest. When they were alive, they were alive, you know? Yeah. But yeah, I mean, that was important to me to have. 'cause I wanted to have four kick drums. But then I didn't want to have two extra shells. I just wanted to, it's kind of a facade, but I just like the way it looked. And we have these two big cowboys from hell with the snakes going down that Phillips whites, Kate, design. We didn't know that I didn't know she was doing that.

"And I don't know if there's right. I'm a scientist, right? And sometimes the evidence leads me in one direction or another. And so I might have a better chance of getting to the right place. Based on objective data, but if you're just going on women ideology, just study your history books, everybody that has never, ever worked for human beings. You know, it was interesting. I was listening to a this is totally side topic, but I was listening to a virtue ethicist on Sean Carroll's podcast guy that my podcast over the years. And he was saying, you know, he was making a hard case for utilitarianism. And then he said, well, really utilitarian utilitarianism when you get to the same place when it's done right, you get to the same place as the day ontologist. The people who say that the people who say that morality is something that exists out there that we can have access to and that we should follow it as opposed to, we should just try to do the best for the most people. You end up in the same place. And so I'm beginning to think that day ontology exists because it help people do the right thing. And the right thing on the best scale for the most people ends up being the sort of virtue ethics around principles of morality that we've all live by, that's based on the golden rule, and we should just get back to basics. And I would argue, same thing applies to diet. Let me ask you a question about what you just said. When I took a lot of psychology in college, I thought about going into that field. Do you think humans have basically bought corrupt and society correct or the other way around? I caution against doing an all or nothing approach to all of this stuff. We are a genetic spectrum. And some people have all kinds of genetic proclivities that make it difficult for them to function in the world and regulate in the world. Trauma adds to that massively. And it's easy to develop unregulated aggression. It's easy to develop addictions, which is a genetic thing. And in those states, do horrible stuff. Too horrible things. So and some people have personality disorders or actually parts of their brains that aren't turned on where they can't really understand that people have feelings, or they can't appreciate other people's priorities relative to their own. And so it all, it's a big, complicated soup. Humans generally speaking. Humans raised well in stable families, loved and cared for and given good education. Have come tend to be pretty good. They do. Humans tend to do pretty well. But we sure can't screw them up. How about I've always, I've always had a dynamic approach to it. It's like, well, some people are just evil. We've seen that study of two twins who were separated at birth. That exists. That exists. Yeah, it's real. But I think in a lot of cases society can't correct. But in this case, I think society is asleep at the wheel. And lately, so we can't just tell everybody to let you freak flag fly. And I've been giving everyone a microphone inside of one of these phones is not a good thing. And I do, I'm also though I've said this before in many of these coral podcasts. I'm hegelian at heart, which is I believe history lurches forward and then it comes back and you create a synthesis out of that thesis. And that synthesis usually is a better place. So it moves things forward. The problem is when you're in the antithesis, you're way out, you're way out of a line. And I would argue that we've been there for quite a little while right now. And I will leave it at that Benny, mister Kroll has call in for me at the present moment. And we will see do we need to talk about the release date? Relative when this errors? Oh, it's Jimmy January 11th. So this will air and either you can go get it now or it'll be coming up on January 11th. Exactly. All right, Vinny tortoise dot com. What about your social media? Are you on any social media? Should we look for you there? Then he taught her an Instagram and Twitter. I answer every question on Twitter, not every calling me an asshole, you probably won't get an answer. And then even those guys get answers. So yeah, Twitter and Instagram. I'm up there. And I'm just doing it all. Fitness confidential podcast support I humbly believe this is your best documentary for several reasons. Not because of the content because I thought fat may have been the more important one. Because this is because it's executed beautifully. I love you in the storytelling role. And the topic is important. I would say it's important to really take a good look at some of the things it really is challenging. I would argue that it's about a specific topic, but it makes you think about a lot of different topics..

"Go tonight, a fiance, that's what you do. You'll find more entertainment there. And you know, I used to watch it and we don't really watch the bachelor. I like watching a bachelorette because I wanted to see what happened to men. And over the years, the bro code went away. There used to be a bro code, right? You know what? I was talking to a friend of mine in New York City about that. How men will come on to other men's wives. You would never do that to another guy. Forget the forget the fact that it's weird, and it's potentially destroying a family. There was a certain amount of hey, I wouldn't disrespect the husband quite that much. That's not in the mix at all now. Isn't that one of the ten big rules? You would think? But it's not really right there right there on the list. Vinny's right. No, I agree. I see more of it, but yeah, it's weird. But, you know, when you look at it, just a few short years ago, we lost the entire bro code. And they were doing the bachelor where all the guys that lost their own states together. Yeah. You know, back when they had Chris Harrison on the show, there was a decorum. He would keep everything to a certain level. I swear to you, go pull it up and watch it, it was the Jerry Springer show. It became Jerry Springer. It's like, wow, this is a major network. This is nighttime television. And this is what we're showing to the country. And it was literally the Jerry Springer show at night. Do they start fighting? They were fighting there were guys getting up getting in each other's face. I was one guy who got naked during the show and security had to come out and haul him off. Why did he get naked? I'm not saying he likes the party. That's mania. That's amazing. He just got the guy was naked. I don't know what else to say. MDMA. Okay. So you have all of this going on in real time on television. And I'm looking at this going, have we lost everything? You know, when I go to airports now, I told Adam the last time I came in about a month ago to do his show and I said, you know, I got a flight to get here. And I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy that had shoes like actual leather shoes on and the belt. Southwest. I was undoubted, by the way. I was the only guy with a belt shoes and a shirt that actually had buttons. I get it. Period. I get it. It's like when I first started flying, you wore a blazer. Remember when you used to fly in the 80s and was like, okay, we're going on a trip. I need to find something to wear on the airplanes in theaters. Airplanes and theaters were in restaurants too to some extent. Right. And no, no, no. And Adam and I have talked often about how you'd walk on the plane and draw Draper would be sitting there in a tie and it maybe his hat in his lap and you'd go a son one day you work hard, you could sit up in the front like this like mister Draper does. Now if you saw somebody dressed like that, you're the fucking asshole. What an asshole. What's the premises? You know, this makes me a horrible human being, but I walk on planes now and I hate I don't fly first class. I think it's ridiculous to pay that price. But I fly that whatever the business thing is right behind it. Yeah. And I'm walking on, looking at the people in first class going, I don't think you can afford this. You shouldn't afford it. Right. You shouldn't be paying for this. I don't know how you ended up here, but you shouldn't be here. But I've been flying quite a bit in the last couple of months, and there were fights on 20% of the flights I was on. One time when nearly got diverted where the captain came on and said, okay, now here's the deal. Listen to the you've already broken federal law. From this moment forward, you must listen to every word the flight attendant says and follow it or were diverting. Is that what you want? You guys, and we were going to go to Virginia. We are on our way to Florida. And he's like, oh, I wanted to go into New Orleans. You have seen your saint's hat reminds me of that. And they're like, well, we're going to go to Virginia city. You want to go there? I have to land. I'm obliged to land. You have broken federal law. I will have to land this aircraft. And I'm like, okay, here we are. Welcome to 2021. Everybody. If the equivalent of your parents going, I will turn this car around. Do you want to yeah, I'm going to do I'm going to pull over right now. It felt exactly the same. I'm going to pull over and by the way, people are behaving the same. And by the way, reminds me of another topic you're going to like this, that piaget is a famous developmental psychologist.

"You look at this and she just stands next to him and he, you know, he buys up a pea protein company and puts this movie out that raises the stock of the company and then he sells most of it. Now, I don't know about you, but when what's your name did that they put her in jail? Martha Stewart. You can't drive up the price of something in itself the stock. I mean, it's just that's just wrong, isn't it? But you can't, you can't do it this honestly. You have to just do it, and then that's capitalism, right? Yeah, I guess it is and you know that's what James Cameron from what I understand had $34 million stake in a pea protein company and some investments sold. And even he got his friends like bond with Schwarzenegger to be in a movie. We're all big Arnold fans, right? I know I am. And Arnold said, yeah, you know, I used to eat a lot of meat when I was a bodybuilding. Now I'm vegan. And then we found a video where right after he said that he was showing his refrigerator full of eggs, cheese, meat, dairy. You know, so how vegan are you? Right. Which, by the way, I mean, if people want to whatever diet works for them, whatever. I mean, I'm all for it. But and again, you and I have talked many times that clearly individual genetic makeup determines the best optimum diet for that given individual. And we have all that literature as you well know on restricting fats and animal proteins and whatnot. Both from the standard of colon, cancer, and Stanford coronary disease. All right, good. Why then does it become a religious preoccupation for people? I mean, again, this is this very strange world we've entered into in the last several years where there's a group of people that want to tell you how to live your life, which is such a strange and striking as a physician who's advising people how to live their life. I would never stand on high and demand people do what I tell them to do. We're carefully schooled, never to do that. Help the patient shape their own decisions on these things and not deliver from on high. Because first of all, that's usually wrong. And secondly, it's unethical. And where did this come from? And why do people like that? Why do people like doing that and then why do people like listening to that? It's the strangest damn thing to me. We've seen it in COVID. We've seen it in climate. We've seen it now with diet. What the hell? What do you think it is? As a people, we've lost our decorum. There used to be a certain amount of decorum. And it just doesn't exist anymore. Two nights ago, my wife and I were watching the bachelorette. And as is the custom..

"Join calibrate dot com. But let's get back to and it's something that sort of reinforced something I was kind of worried about. A, I've thought forever that the preoccupation with cows belching, which because it's more convenient and more of a story to save cows farting that somehow that captures traction more than cows belching. It somehow seems more onerous, that that whole story to me seemed suspect. Number one, and then number two, I had the weird feeling about these impossible meets when I first tried it back probably four or 5 years ago I was like, this can't be right. And that was before probably I was really had cut carbohydrates out of my system. I was looking more at fats then, right? And I've obviously adjusted and all my metabolic parameters have improved massively since doing so. That's certainly me. By the way, Dave Feldman is out with some new literature to see that. I did. He and I have been talking and he he's coming back on the show. You might want to get him back on a seat, talk to you guys yet. I did tell him I wanted him on and his group wouldn't let him. They're being very restrictive with where they let him go. The group that published this, which is kind of typical. Yeah. It's kind of weirded him out, but he apparently got very heated about it with his group. But to me, it's just I know that's how things go. That's not a big deal. Is it you being a lightning rod or is it? I don't know. We'll find out if you have a similar experience. He wrote to me and said, hey, I have this new information. I was like, hey, man, whenever you're ready to come on. But, you know, it's oddly enough, it's been a few weeks, and I haven't heard back from him. So I think they're making him hold for a minute before he does anything. So we'll see how that plays out. It does you don't know her time. This is a guy Dave elman was a cloud engineer if I remember right. He was sort of something like that. And he got interested in sort of the statistical analysis around lipids, and he saw problems with how this was being sort of pushed. And he became very involved in this thing that I would say what Vinny's been involved with, which is the vilification of fat, and the fact that fats for some people are really good and there's certain kinds of fats and there's the Ebola protein system that needs to be paid attention to and insulin resistance may be bigger story. And he's been trying to talk me out of taking a statin forever. I think, by the way, my staying on the statin has been the right thing. I still think I still think getting the triglycerides right and the HDL right is one piece, but there is a piece of the low density lipoprotein for people like me that I think I don't know. I'm reading literature that supports that. So anyway, that's a topic for a different day, really. But how did I get off onto this? I wanted to talk about the talk about Feldman and how the meats affected me and why what I was doing when I first was exposed to them. I've always felt I know what I'm saying. That there was just something up. And usually when it's something's up, it's follow the money, right? There's money coming from somewhere doing this. And it's disproportionate to the reality of what we should be doing. So is it China? Is that the money? Or is it just that this is popular? And so they're taking advantage of it from a business standpoint and their owning some politicians along the way. What do you think it is? There's some politicians involved. I mean, whenever you have Kamala Harris going, hey, we're going to go with this, you know, during the election. Someone's putting Kamala Harris has no other reason to mention that. And the prelims. This is not when she was running as vice president. This is when she was trying to become president. When you hear that, and of course, Cory Booker was saying the same thing. But Cory Booker is actually a vegan so, okay, maybe he's got more stake in what's that? But so that all makes sense, but the thing that made me sit down and go, okay, it's time to do a movie. It was when I saw that some of the biggest meat companies were dropping billions into this. And I'm talking cargo and Tyson Foods and all of the big players. They see which way to wins blowing, and they're dropping money into this. And that's when I went, okay, what's up? That's something up here. And I need to start looking into it. And it doesn't take very long to smell a rat and then find the dead rat. And what was it? Well, you have these multinational corporations. And this always makes me feel like a coup when I talk about this. It almost goes into Illuminati flat earth territory, but there's a small national corporation who just it's their agenda to make as much money as they can. That's what they do. That's their thing. That's their job. And so like I said, follow the money. There's a path to be followed here. And my question though is, you know, there's money on the other side too, it seems to me on the meat side. Aren't they pouring money into countering this? They're not. They're scared of it. They're scared to do anything. They're almost like one of these husbands that get browbeaten by the wife and then they just say, okay, I'm just going to stay in my little corner over here. You're beaten down. They don't want to do anything. And so far, I've refused to take money from them because I don't want people to go, oh, he's in their back pocket. Right. Because that's what vegans are saying about. By the way, folks, every dime of the money I put into this happens to be my money. I didn't take money from any outside sources, I under this entire project, yet the vegans are out there going, of course. He's taking money from this. It's like, where do you get that from? Right. Well, they'll do anything. They'll say anything. And then whatever they say is what goes viral. So whatever you say doesn't matter. What they say about you is what people make go viral. It's insane. But when you go, well, what's the media industry doing? They're running scared because whatever they say, they become murderers and climate deniers and everything else. And these people, they don't want that. But they need to take up that fight. They really need to take or will this sort of take care of itself one day. I wonder. You know? I'm hoping it takes care of itself. I've noticed even before my movies come out that they're losing grip on the stock. The stock was going up and up and up and now is falling for both companies beyond burger and impossible meat and all of it. So I'm hoping that enough people look at the stock dropping and they're gonna go with the money is that they'll bail at some point. Well, I'm sure the people that run these companies feel like they're doing something good, right? They've drunk in the Kool-Aid as we say. They drank the Kool-Aid. And who are they? What do we know about the players that are in leadership positions in these companies? Are they, are they just other people that come from Wall Street and finance and know nothing about nutrition? And they just are in a good financial position and that's that. It's hard to figure out, you know, I call it the tale of two browns because both of the CEOs of these companies they're last names are brown. Interesting. And you know, you just, I think they're just financial guys taking advantage. And then I even showed James Cameron in a movie. And you go, okay, what does James Cameron have to do with this? Well, he financed the film called game changes. And it's because his wife is this big time vegan. I'm not quite so sure that he's as the devout vegan as his wife is..

"Ingredient, let me make an argument. I'll make an argument for you, drew. Yeah. First ingredient in the Oreo is sugar. Number one, that means that you're going to get a spike and it's going to go down. Okay, number two is an unbleached enriched flour. That's going to give you a load. So I can almost make and it goes into high fructose corn syrup. Okay, by definition, this is probably worse. But like anything though, it would be worse probably for me as somebody who's very sensitive to carbs and insulin resistance. For sure, for me, it is bad. But for Susan, for instance, has no resistance any of this kind of carb stuff. The impossible meat could be worse for her. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Like anything in nutrition, it depends on the genetics of the individual. We're talking about, right? That's a very least both will cause inflammation. And we both know that inflammation is not where you want to be. Well, that's an interesting observation. So let's talk a little more about that. I don't remember, I remember that being in the dock or maybe I missed it or something. Is that in the dark? No, it wasn't, because when I started out, I was trying to make a Doc, when I went and shot my part, I was trying to make a Doc where I was bringing both sides to the table. You know, I asked Walter willett, I asked the enormous. I asked Michael greger and McDougal and several other doctors. But the ones I just mentioned, I put them up on screen and said, look, you know, I went out to the top guys, I went to the head of Harvard, who's a devout vegan, who is making laws that are being handed down to you. By creating policy and we've never elected him a policy maker, a politician. He's creating policy. Come on and sit down with me. Nope, no can do. Okay, maybe I can get someone else. Michael greger seems to have a lot to say. Nope, no way. Why? Why? I don't know. I don't know, every one of them told me there were busy that day, and I hadn't given them a day. I remember you want to record. And I showed their replies in the movie. I was like, look, folks, if you think I'm kidding, I was trying to get these people because all I, I'm only interested in the truth. And they're not interested in getting their agenda out. And they were afraid that their agenda would be hurt. When I went to Fred la Croix and doctor Mitt Lerner and Tony Hampton and all these guys, they all went yes. And when I asked them to sign a release, they went no problem. You know, so why is once I willing to say yes and sign a release and the other side is scared to do anything. That's an issue. That's weird. Have you had any feedback since the Doc came out from them? Well, the Doc is not out yet, so look, I'm already getting hate mail from the average vegan saying that this is a propaganda film. Which is interesting because they're saying something is a propaganda film, yet they've never seen the film. They can only see a one minute clip of the film. So okay, no one else, I don't know, drew, you saw the film. Seems pretty reasoned. Seem pretty reasoned. As a doctor, as a scientist, was I making up stuff? No. No, it seemed like you were telling a story. And it seemed rather reasonable. And I was very interested in a matter of fact. You heard me talk about our friends at fume. That's right, smoking cessation. Whatever edge you can get to stop smoking, nothing is more important for your health. As I've told you, I'm coaching up Dawson to try to get him to stop smoking. I gave him fume. It replaces the hand to mouth sort of behavior. It's plant packed cores, no smoke, no vape, no nicotine, no harmful chemicals. And look, giving fume is not an.

"I felt weird about walking out there with a shotgun, so I went out with a shovel and chopped his head off. And I said, okay, Kenny came over to Kenny, which part of the not becoming the revenant where you were talking about? Are you not becoming that guy? I'm pretty close. Tell me again that you're not. I'm getting there, but the bottom line is, I said, Kenny, I love you, brother. You come over for a drink whenever you want, but you're fired. And I just went crazy in my backyard. I chewed up everything. How did you protect yourself against snakes as you went in? Just where it was or something? This is where I'm going to sound like. I was back there chopping with the shotgun right next to me. So I'm in the backyard and I'm always going, where's my second? You know, you can go where's the shovel, where did I put the rake with the shotgun as I moved the shotgun moved? Fair enough. And we found a lot of snakes along the way. Nothing I had to kill because they were all black snakes and everything else. Not July, but we saw one more snake in that whole thing. But when you're coming in you're chopping and you have chainsaws out, they run for the hills. Sure. They see what's up. Did you clear it out? Drew, I will send you a video later. Showing you my neighbor's side of the property and my side and you go, okay, this guy's a lunatic. Meaning you. Me. Not him. What I did, I totally wiped. I can't wait to see it. I'm excited. I want to see it. I'm going to send it to Gary right now while we're doing this project. Yes, you can watch what we're doing to podcasts. I did this little video for my mom because she wanted to see how my property was coming. But we can move on to the movie. Before the movie I have one last question. You said something curious that you're never going to use your pool. Why? I'm just. This is going to sound weird, drew, but I'm not a pool guy. My entire life, you know, it was one of these things where if I had time on my hands, I was working out. I didn't have time for the pool. The pool meant you have time to relax. That's the way I feel about golf. Oh, I don't know about that. But the pool thing for Vinny tracks, I think Vinny would use what a pool if he had one of those ones that forces resistance where you can just swim in place, but a still body of water does not seem to me to be Vinny. I get that, but why is golf, why is golf different for you? That's exactly what golf is from. I can't imagine golfing. I mean, at least you're walking around for four hours. I'm not saying there's more at least some exercises. I mean, you have to rest eventually. And why not rest it on the steps or side? I wake up every morning early. Yeah. And kind of like, I go to the skeet range and I practice for an hour and a half or so. And then I start my day because I compete. So that's my sport. If I have time, you see, skeets of sport, cycling, do that sport, kayaking is a sport. If I got time to sit by a pool, I got too much time on my hands. Does your wife be shit about that? Yes. She complains that I never take a day off. She sounds like something wife would complain about. Yeah. I mean, look behind me, I'm in my office. There's a squat rack. Yeah. Right here, if I can reach another foot two feet, I would be touching my spinner and three feet beyond that is a rowing machine. How old are you now? Over here is all my dumbbells. I'm 59. 60, the intensity, you can't keep it up. I'm telling you, you try, should. You should do everything you can. But we'll talk again a big couple of years to see if it's changed any because it's changing slowly, but I have to, there it is. Fantastic. What? He's putting up your video. So I kept trying to get people who are in my yard, as a matter of fact I was paying a yard guy. And every month I would get extremely high bills and I kept saying, hey, when you got to clear out my backyard, he was all we're getting there, mister Vinny, we're getting there. By the way, my backyard used to look like this. Right here. Wow. That's a portion of the neighbor's backyard. Yeah. You can see how it's all over. That's what the final side here. Just like that side. And everything. What is that a compost? What are you doing? What's the fire? That was everything from railroad ties that I dug up in The Shard from I guess they had something else going on to branches that I cut. I had fires going every day. I mean, how do you remove all this stuff? I get he's burned. Yeah, I had big burn piles. I had like three big burns. I let you do that Virginia. Think about that. No one no one care. You've got that defense. Did you build that fence to? You could see where I fixed. I saw that. Yeah. Little pieces of it because it was rotted out. I also had to put because I have dogs. I put some wire in between. That I'm going to end up redoing the whole thing, but it was one of those I'm moving in, I have dogs. I need to do something today. But I like the old rustic sense of trying to figure out how to get the rest of fence as rustic as that. And then I'm going to knock that fence out because I have another whole yard. I do archery two drew. And I could have, of course, you do. Almost a can almost have a hundred yards of range. I do Olympic style archery. You know, the ones you see. I'm confused. You have a neighboring yard, you use? What? I have my yard. I could get a hundred. I could get 75 to 80 yards out of my yard. The one we were just looking at. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I have a lot of property here. Not as much as I want it. I want it more property. But this is what I have and this is what I have to work with right now. All right, let's get into the movie. Not only did I find the subject matter fascinating, I really enjoyed how much Vinny there was in it. I liked you stepping up commentating on the vast majority of what we were watching. That really worked for me. I feel like in fat, you relied on some of the other people more. And in this one, we got full Vinny. Am I right about that? You are. And the reason being is, I was trying to keep the story straight. Yeah. Right. I just wanted to say. And you got to understand, I've put out three documentaries in three years. Think about that. Corolla has a group of people in the whole warehouse. And he's not putting out that amount of content that fast. So in order to do that, this is not any kind of slide on corolla and company. But to do that, you have to be lean and mean..

"One in documentaries and top ten overall on iTunes and Apple TV, Vinny, congratulations. This is awesome. Thanks, drew. You know, whenever someone says, to me, if I go to dinner party, what do you do for a living? I always say I'm a fitness trainer because that's all I've ever known. And then the night will carry on and I'll say, well, you know, when I did my second documentary, and I said, what do you mean documentary? Yeah. Well, after my book came out and they were like, well, what do you mean, but I never think of myself as a two time author or now a three time filmmaker because it just makes no sense to me. Yeah, so I relate to what you're saying. We'll get into the document in a second, but what you're saying, I relate to so strongly. I told my son the other day, because I had hired him to do some social media. I said, you got to understand something. As somebody who toiled in hospitals for 30 years, from 5 in the morning until ten at night, that was work. That was work. I think of work as this invested per unit time, rigorous, engaged, the idea that I could go home and do a streaming show or come here and do a podcast and then build a business out of that. I told them I said, I can't get my head around that. I'm in denial about it. So the fact that we have a family business, I can't hold it in my head. You feel like that is that kind of thing? That's exactly the feeling. Look, I mean my entire life, I did one thing. Serena did one thing. Now we work together. It's weird. It is. It's almost like we're going back to the late 1800s where the husband and wife were in the same house and worked on the farm together. Right. But how do we understand it in terms of what we're creating? We're not growing crops. We're sending stuff out into the electronic sphere. To the cloud, things go to the cloud. I guess that's it. That's the new economy. What the hell? It is, but it's either do that or not make a living. Let me ask you this. Do you find that whenever you're not doing a social media project that you would just get as far away from a computer and phone as you can or do you still have that phone in your hand? I like to be away from oh Gary's going to tell me it's a no go on. Well, my problem is I have patient emails all day. So I can't really stop that. So the phone is something I'm kind of looking at and I hate social media. I really do hate it. It's disgusting. God, I believe. No, no. That I do believe. But you're right, and that's a very valid point. You have to be there for your patients. So it's rare to see drew more than a few feet from his head. Yeah, so I literally what I tell everybody in my life is I check emails every ten minutes. That's what I do. That's why I never almost never call or text you. I'll just eat it. And how long does it take me to respond? If it's a half hour, I'm concerned. Right. So it's ten minutes. And if I put it off, I put it off to one of the other rounds I'm making through the emails because I'm doing something immediate. But yeah, I and by the way, vastly superior to carrying a pager and all the shit I did all those years. So I don't mind it myself, but you're right of the phone. Look, my son last night, no. Tonight is giving a presentation on a paper he wrote about the deleterious effects of social media. And he, without my prompting, said, you know, I think I'm going to tell them it's like tobacco. We're going to look at this like tobacco or maybe even heroin. But even in its toned down influence, it's tobacco at the minimum. I was like, yeah, that's exactly what it is. To make an argument that it's way worse than tobacco, because look, when I was a kid, before they were espousing the horrible effects of tobacco right there, everyone smoked when we were kids. You know, we knew it was bad for us. People walk around. I saw a mother and her two daughters. They walked right in front of me in a parking lot. But they walked in front of me. In your car. In front of your car. I was in my car and it was like mother Doc working out a phone and then the three people daughter looking at the walk in front of the car. Walking and I'm like, I'm in a car wait, three times. I'm in a 6000 pound vehicle here and no one even looked up. It's funny. Just our nonchalance around cars is something corolla has mentioned many, many times because we should be paying we should be a lot more afraid of those things than many of the other things we worry about out in our world. But to the point, let me just say this during and we can move on because yada yada did a movie. Great. No, I want to get into it. Because first of all, okay, go ahead. All right, we'll get into it. Let's just say this. I was just telling Gina grab this last night. Every year for my new year's resolution, I'm always giving up something. My entire life is like, you know, most times I'll do like in S and G as they call it now in S and G AF. I will not touch, not even like one glass of wine, not cake for my birthday or whatever. I'll just go the whole year and do it. I've done that several times. Kind of a solidarity thing for people who follow low carb. I want them to know that I'm right there with them. Every year, I'll give up something. This year, I'm not giving up anything. This year, I'm building a Cedar strip kayak from scratch. Wow. And I'm not even buying the Cedar strips on buying planks of Cedar. I'm cutting the strips myself. Oh my God. I'm taking it from as close as I can get from a tree to a finished kayak. Because we can't just go through life doing this without thumbs. I see. So you want to get back. You want to get as far away from the electronic media as possible, which is back to survival. It all started. You're going to be a survivalist soon. You're going to be the revenue two Vinny torque. I'm not becoming one of those guys, but I can tell you this. It started because I bought this property and it was in disarray. The people that had this beautiful home, but it's great bones, but it was coming apart because he was old and he had to mention. Well, tell people you're your Virginia, right? I live in central Virginia now. So the backyard was basically a jungle. It was like an acre of jungle back there. And when I hired a yard guy, one of these hotsy totsy companies that said, listen, another snakes back there, I have a pool. I will never use that pool, but I've invited every neighbor to come and use that pool. So please I want that backyard wiped out. The other thing mister Vinny, we'll get it done. Nothing got done. Oh. I'm writing big checks every month. Why not? Well, yeah, he's doing other stuff. He's planning grass in the front. He's putting shrubs over here. He's doing all this stuff, and I'm seeing these big bills. And then every time I guess another thousand bucks, now, look out the backyard. And I even said to him, one time I said, Kenny, I'm seeing black snakes everywhere. I'm okay with black snakes. They're not going to hurt me, but if there's black snakes, there's got to be at the very least, copperheads and rattlesnakes. I've studied the area. We have copperheads and rattlesnakes. Well, all of a sudden, I'm in my backyard with a shotgun shooting copperhead. Jesus. And after copperhead number three, well, I can't lie the third we're not in shooters in my front yard..

Tell us mole. Yeah that's right. Spent yesterday morning with a haulage company. Just outside of said they do haulage right around the uk they have forty two big eighteen wheelers and they deliver all kinds of things and i spoke to a couple of drivers guys who've done this for decades and they said you just cannot get young people into this profession that they don't want that lifestyle anymore. When you climb into one of these trucks that i was in yesterday it has a fridge stocked with food for the week so they can at least try and eat healthily. It has a microwave has a bed and they will drive up and down the country. They will sleep in that cab but the problem is as well on top of that They don't have access to proper facilities because there are currently around fifteen thousand spaces short for them to park at service stations in the uk. Hey so they end up often sleeping slipways on the sides of roads and then they're only facilities for them so it is a very strange lifestyle that some of these guys live and something that younger men More used to being home more used to having a work life balance wanting to see wives in kids.

Nobody really stops me on the street to ask any questions about them even with they were terrible. They wanna know about the knicks. That is the thing they just like. Can you give me any reason to have a glimmer of hope right like these unrealistic expectations of what they're going to be. I really think a lot of that guy. Beaten out of people. Betas william some reason have some measure of hope and the thing about dame is there's different than melo melo was willing to come here and handle the weight of all the media stuff and take that will the losing and things like that endure that like. He was grateful what they happened to be at. That time. dame is here for the weight of let me take you to the promised. Land i got you. Let's roll and it's been a long time since they had to do like that here and they will love it and he noted at absolute adidas knows that the records look. He's into the rap. He's got a flow dame we get studios in new york city. You don't gotta have this set show crib. You can go to some of these places where you know what people are at. You know what i mean. Here's the thing about new york city or the knicks themselves. Not new york but the next. I don't know how great patrick ewing really was right. But the way people tell it you would think he was better than her team. David robinson shack in it's only because of new york city and the knicks. And if you get dame across from katie and harden and kyrie like oh yeah some dudes complete with me right honestly. That'll be the thing to make knicks fans care about the nets. Because right now. I would not care about the nets we can't hang we just don't have the dudes and you're not going to be like we try to overcome little brother like you're not going to get to that point or give the nixon dude right. Give the knicks that guy and be like our right. Let's go do this. This place will be on fire in my understanding is especially allow of these young dudes around the league. They saw the playoffs. They saw the garden. They saw what it was and they won't they won't a piece of they wanna be a part of that and look man worldwide west kind of aged out of being the number one powerbroker right like his guys just weren't players anymore right. They burned on his relationship with abroad. Wooden would it was lebron. Need all that stuff. He's still wes. he still got all game and world. Leah rose still got all the context that he had from being sa they get do yet. Scott perry was a guy who was part of the whole fab. Five thing you know what. I mean like they got. Do that. know how to talk to people. People still are namrd with wes. Like there's the mystique of amen worldwide. I saw saw worldwide west hall. You know what i mean you know. There was some people around the league that didn't like how worldwide west comported himself last year. You know behind closed doors because it wasn't people in the arenas and all that type of stuff and they complained to the league and the legal side. Yeah okay and so what. You know what i mean. So they're still put it like this. You ain't complaining about worldwide westworld while we're saying the actual threat right you ain't saying he's just some dude with no game and no charisma. You know what i mean. He still open his phone and say hey man you wanna talk to mike. How can you know what i mean like. It's that type of thing. If you're the knicks you can tell me if i'm wrong.

Made sure whoever's side put his word out they was going to get the word out now. What it didn't own now. Ben simmons not come to training camp and part of what makes that interesting is. If ben simmons just hadn't showed up and nobody said anything outside of the nba twitter we anybody know because nobody cares about nba training camp. You know what i'm saying. That's not nobody that's just not a thing that people really pay a great deal of attention to a busy been late. Nfl at all if they put this out auto saturday night during the nfl season. I might not even know. He ate cub news dump. I mean here's the other part of it curious what you think. Well if you're the seventy sixers are you finding benson's as point you can but it's not gonna do anything because what it does is you five. Ben simmons it allows him to just put middle finger right in your eye right. I have been on his instagram story. Just literally setting money on fire now because someone brought that up to me. Yes they should find him. You don't come to work. You know have a backbone. I'm like yeah but anyhow this nba works. And that ain't gonna help you make a trade. Here's the thing. If the over under on ben simmons trade is christmas. What are you taking before. I think it'll be untenable light because the season starts in the middle of october our no if they can live with two months like this one way or another because as much as i say this if they do start losing without simmons i say that the losses themselves don't matter but don't nobody feel like being on a team that's losing right like nobody wants any part of that so if they go out there and they start losing trading. Ben simmons is not going to make them better than they would be with. Ben simmons but trading. Ben simmons will make them better than they would be without. Ben simmons So if he does not gonna play and they're going to have to wind making a move. Darrell darrell swallow pride on this man. Yes he is or get the pieces and try to turn it into something by february. We'll see his thing. The only way. He trades ben. Simmons for parts is if he has another move on the back end. Right moore is the guy that is desperately waiting. Let's be honest he's waiting damien love to come out and say a. Aw it's been real. ceo portland. Except i don't think that's gonna happen this year or no time like in the immediate future. And if he does say i want out you know the place that he's not going to philly ain't going app. Feel very confident. That i know the one place that damian lillard ask out the he'll be trying to call does it have a correlation with snoop dogg coming in and crushing the buildings. Yes i'm saying. He come in rye here. He wanna go somewhere new york city right. Now is a wide open for the superstar. Who wants to do it right like if you make that decision that you wanna be that guy you can come here and look it would help if you wanna championship but if you just give them some great games in the garden. I can't explain to people what you will be in this city. If that happens this is the thing to realize. I think about the knicks when new york. That's easy to forget. Which is the knicks. Were the only thing to everybody had in common and even to this day. I still say that because i don't have a foothold yet right. Like nets fans are fans who were nets fans where they were in new jersey. They still don't have that thing going in that way.

So we're talking about the defending champions right and if there's anything i feel like i've learned. I can only point to one team ever on any level that i felt i wanna championship. And then that didn't matter for years down the line and positive and they became champions and they took it up a notch because they were champions. Ot of i can think of it didn't do that was the mavericks in twenty right The bucks as good as they've been the last three or four years and now they're champions. Okay we got that the nets in year two where they didn't even really get to play together in year one. Okay we got that. The upstart atlanta hawks.

Should be healthy. And she cares the writing like they should be better. We didn't even talk about the heat. Who got a lot better. We didn't even mention the celtics.

Absolutely date is about atlanta right now. Well wait wait. Maybe not maybe it used to be the delta rant atlanta and you know who's running atlanta now somebody different delta hours there. I don't know if we talk about this on the last time we did this podcast. It was the ufc fight the night before the eastern conference finals Stay far so i wanna say. It was to america's but let's just say it was two black america's now at the hotel. I was that now it was like. Why am i staying here when it's all this neon all awards and all of that but the next night at the arena during game through game for whatever worse. Oh back to lie minute absolutely man. I did some last night and to do a little event. And but in my candidates out he lives in texas and so we were headed out after the event. And we're leaving the building and so now we leaving the building. you know. Got a mask all because you got to show proof of vaccination to get in and all that stuff. So i pulled on her by a man who lives in texas like i'll say this say texas need to put my mask off but the moral of the story years if you tell people they're supposed to do it all it's going to take is one or two other people to do it and then the other person s right. That's what we do here. And then they go fall in line atlanta light. Ain't nobody say we got to do this. Delta runny streets a natural selection man. You get it. We're gonna be out here. Doing this disappointed me the other day. The only reason that people wasn't going to stuff was because we say people couldn't go to stuff. Yeah atlanta didn't have that so not to your point. Atlanta in miami are now cracking in the eastern conference. I will be careful. But i will be outside year. We need Here here hey. We should have based on that.

The question is in hindsight and this is really unfair to sound prestige. The question is do you trade russ instead of harden. That's what it is. That people have misunderstood this the decision. They made the decision to keep russell. Westbrook and mob read on this and what people have told me that that was kind of a no brainer decision at the time because one when they made the decision horrid hadn't broken out but the other part was which wanted him always on which one of them always plays hard like if you were talking about building a culture which was important for them because had autumn young dudes If that's what you cared about no question which wanted them you. Can't you can't russell westbrook except do that. Put the san antonio spurs out. Yes you're correct. I get it and the guy who didn't show up in the nba finals and these the same doodoo direct the spurs. He did show up in the nba. Finally showed up haridas heavy. No he was he was outside. Ask the kid say jay's probably lubega beggar the twenty two finals it'd be like man that was a great to weeks. Oh yeah that's right. We did lose is about border that you know what i'm saying.

"Jones. Thanks for listening. Wherever you get your podcast rate us review was given five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater that time we we have guest. Join us coming to us. Live from milwaukee wisconsin. Yahoo sports on vinnie goodwill was going on man. Man milwaukee's the city champions this morning they should ya'll real real good about themselves. I can't imagine how good they feel about themselves. That like because remember like. I'm sure milwaukee was happy like when the packers win something. But it's not the milwaukee packers. It's the green bay. Packers it this the first thing. They've won since the bucks and it's two hours away. You know what i mean like. That's a whole different ballgame and that's like a cold weather things like these people were outside like. It was lambofield last night. Sixty five thousand people people hanging from like light poles and all that type of stuff. I mean don't wrong there. Were some troublesome things you double the as lambofield. They ain't no goddamn pandemic. Like i was looking ours is like look at any sixty five thousand people no vaccine passport and it's outdoors so like that certainly helps like is. It could be worse. When i was looking at that like yeah. I don't know if you heard but is it delta vary and they also for those who don't know. I'm not trying to pick on milwaukee right now. This is a factual point. That is the most segregated city in america and apparently they did not send out. No dear district invites to them other parts of town. I looked out there. I was like look at all those heads up. Ics brownish one at all justin jackson. You know what i'm saying. Like i saw was just like wow you. Milwaukee didn't had no black people at all. Where do you find out the truth spree. Well from there. No you know what it is. Sometimes you do see black people. Also when i was walking in someone of black people. They're quite early but they were more like spots will die like one hundred and one down nations type of thing you know what i mean like they were just out they sprinkled. I'll fully understand that myself. And maybe they got our law against about milwaukee. But i'm going to sixty five thousand strong and you know ab drinking up there so you know like all the things that could possibly happen. I ain't coming with a sprinkle baby. Like i've come would like to call it like it'd be like chocolate chip but then there's also chocolate chuck chuck i bring the squad. Yes and there were a couple of shots fired last night. Which is. I don't think they were any casualties but there were shots fired and some people getting into the hospital. So but to your point if we're not there he can't give cam put that one on us. Y'all day why go to death circumstance again. As i mentioned it'd be a whole lot of drank and going on there then places with the french the french lineage. When lsu went up to play wisconsin at lambofield a couple of years ago. They ran out of beer. Dave ran aller drank because people granted. Lsu lose is its own unique sort animal. But i won't be out there because that kind of night especially with so many reasons so many people to be happy kind of night. They you know what that turns into some sweaty. Do come in and out of nowhere yell talk a little bit that night. He put his arm around. You look bad. I know you're black and white. You know i'm not gonna every black person there's lots of life but a lot of people out of you know that that's a perfect night. But that kind of situation oil or or the riley cooper. Well yeah that's possible too. I tell you this though. I do is another kind of night. If you go home by yourself. Pro-choice there were a lot of unintended consequences. I'm sure that occurred last night. I think that's the phrase that the nba likes to use big old wedding a wedding. That went really really well and and really really really good drake's right that everybody has a fighting chance right chance. Yeah yeah like. If it don't work out is your choice or your fault. One of the to know that was a lot of that last night. Yeah thank. There's a lotta alcohol being consumed because this milwaukee and you think about it my damn well what do they drink so much. Be here and i'm like. Oh because milwaukee you got what else you got to do but this is. The submarine code was like eighty nine degrees at noon. Yeah but they used to that saying they used to it. You does like but that co like right there. That's how you save on your heating. Bill dare write one shot one degree. Maybe that's maybe that's the priddis 'euroland do you know what's funny. Is that watching these people last night. People hanging from light poles and stuff like that. And i don't know if you guys don't get a chance to see the replays but they literally every quarter. They literally show someone chugging sixteen to twenty to thirty two ounces of beer. It's like kiss cam. You not kiss cam like the most annoying thing at an arena or or the wedding damaris proposal here. It ain't marriage proposals here. Ain't no kiss cam. It is watching people eat in reverse bomani. You heard me say that. Right watching people eat in reverse and the beard drink and the chugging and y'all wonder why aaron rodgers trying to get year remember. They try to get eras chug. And he's like yo way too classy for this. This is this is not going down but man so people don't know finals come up. You gotta go places. You'd be busy but otherwise we do about a good hour. We basically do a right episode. We vide- pretty much daily through the cost of the playoffs. Right like just bounce ideas. See what's going on here. I don't think you or i was down on you at any point in the ways that other people kinda got out on him. Now i say this though. That was hater proof. Last night ed do put a nifty a nifty. They were powerless to stop it and went to the line and was making them over and over and over again like i do not generally believe that you can make some happen just because you want it so bad but it show look like. That's that was last night. Do everything effort if you think of like his iconic plays in this final series. Ain't like you're sheer athleticism. Or that plays a part in it. Won't to that block on the andre atan. A whole lot won't to that run the floor and throwing it and drew holiday throwing it up. That's a whole lot of sprinting. And just getting up and down floor where you were tired. it's hale and just beating somebody up and down the floor. So maybe james harden it's right where all you gotta do is run and jump you know what running and jumping and worked a whole lot last night four. Do i can't shoot. He gave you fifty baugh like you said made all the free throws. Chris said he couldn't make them. And you know what else i think. The thing that he doesn't really get enough credit for is that we give him credit for blocking shots. I don't know if we give him credit specifically for a really good shot blocker right like a good rim-protector and being a good shot blocker are not necessarily the same thing. Like roy hibbert was do. That was a very good rim-protector but he wasn't very good. Shot blocker this dude in his timing. I mean he was out there. I would have been shook if i were to size. Looking at some of those plays that he may come from two weeks. I'd end just pitching people shots out of there like this was. This was a lebron james type of one man toward force right. The difference i kind of thinking is interesting and you let me know what you think about this. Now i had it was basically just do and everything and the other guys not much the second nfl like the dudes actually showed up and yannis was still giving it in that same way like it wasn't a i'm.

Unplug your fridge when the sun's up right right and that's the irony a lot of these blackouts. I was told our because neighborhoods with a lot of tesla's and stuff who are charging their cars. The grid can't support those so it all homes in on itself right but it is kind of the perfect. It's the perfect storm. Or example of why we don't fully love government or investor. trust read. Because you're telling us do this thing get an electric car. But you guys can't manage the grid all right so There's that little dichotomy was at a mall. In like i dunno hidden hills are thousand oaks or something. there is a row of tesla chargers. Enough guys have seen this. But i mean there were thirty. Tesla chargers in this small degree. But they're more and more food. Yeah this one had a had a bank of of them. I mean literally over twenty maybe under thirty five but if you also it's a it's a half and a half knots as we always said gas is now five bucks a gallon. So if you're driving a truck and you're gardner or you're spreading stucco for a living in your poor mexican you are shit out of luck but if you live next kardashians and you drive the loaded tesla you'll never pay for fuel again. You can literally just pull into that mall. It's got a starbucks and the whole food court and everything just plug it in. But you could do that twice a week. You would never pay another penny for fuel essentially always trying to incentivize people to do the electric car thing i with you get you get into the car.

I basically said the story i wanted his side and he says okay as much as it sounds exactly like means something. I'd get an intern to do. That's the next thing to when shit sounds like exactly like something you would do. Sometimes it can get transferred. That's a little more. Daniel asks move than it was a jimmy esque move.

They'll never forget the look of horror on our line producers face when that happened But anyway regarding this gym. I had to check with jimmy and sal to see if they had a better memory and they did because it was in fact jimmy who got him to say it. Let me say this. As jimmy has gone full credit over the years for the natalie maynes prank despite my very significant contributions. It only seems fair that this is accredited to me.

You can't just put your business on hold and shut it down for the week as you mourn and deal with it. I see business owners. That are taking a week off of their business because they're so overwhelmed by the geopolitical whatnot. They can't focus. So i want to ask you dr z. How do you eat in the short-term looks says you've got to eat while you dream how do you deliver on the short range commitments that you have while also being aware of what's going on and how that may affect you in the mid and long-term yeah i feel like that's kind of a two part question. I don't know. I feel like eating dreaming over here and then dealing with obstacles and problems in every day that if you let them we'll keep you from your long range goals so i'm kind of kind of put them together.

Floyd closing arguments have been completed. And what we're gonna do is take take a look at those closing arguments because that is the last chance that the attorneys on both sides had an opportunity to try to influence. The jury convinced them of their case and it was interesting to watch really interesting. Michael i ala with me as court. Tv anchor. I will tell you this michael. The the one thing about this case. The attorneys were prepared. They were thorough but they were much less dramatic than i am. The the general demeanor of these attorneys was amazing. Yeah you see a lot from prosecutors but not much from the defense but on both ends. They really kind of played to even kill for the most part. Yeah i have to agree. I mean i would even go so far as to say at least it was kind of boring especially the prosecution i. I didn't want to use that. I didn't want to use that word you went there. I think i think you're right. I think especially with the length right. The length of that going on and on it there was they. Didn't they didn't vary their cadence very much.

That the death of george floyd has had will now. It's time to figure out what it all means. Inside a courtroom as our system of justice takes a look at it and a jury of twelve people will decide whether or not dirk chauvin murdered. George floyd and court tv of course giving you gavel to gavel coverage of this so in this podcast really wanted take a deep dive into the opening statements because opening statements are really the roadmap for the entire trial. This is where the attorneys for both sides will lay out what they believe. The evidence will show in the case and we got a few surprises during opening statements and got a feel and a flavor for who the attorneys are. That will be trying. This case will be the voice for either side with me. Is court tv anchor. Michael i ala michael. I wanna start off. We're going to focus here on the prosecution but before we get to that i just want your overall take of both sides. The way i saw it was prosecutors came in they were polished. They were professional but not over the top in terms of passionate then. The defense came in and there wasn't quite as much polish. Not so many bells and whistles and even less passion. So what was your take of what you heard in those opening statements. I think i think you hit the nail on the head there vinnie. I think the prosecution came in very very prepared. They had a presentation a powerpoint presentation. That was extremely. Well done set out. The time line was very clear that they had a sense of where the defense was when go and they kicked off all the arguments they will go into make and made their own arguments putting into the mind of jurors the arguments that they were going to make. I thought they did a great job of what i call your ones things like He did not let up. He did not get up things like that. That will stay in the jurors minds as they continue throughout this case Excessive force is assault Things like that. That would give something. The jury can hang onto as the case

Court TV Podcast
Kelsie Schelling Murder Trial
"I'm vinnie polygon. Thanks so much for joining us on the court. Tv podcast and today. We're going to take a look at a trial that we're following on court tv but you're not seeing it on court tv and that's because the judge has banned cameras from inside the courtroom so no public transmission of this trial. Otherwise you'd be seen in on court tv. I could spend the next. Oh i don't know six hours explaining why that was a bad idea. But that's not what this podcast is going to be about. it's about the actual case and this is a incredibly tragic one Most of them on court. Tv because we cover a lot of murders but this one. Especially i mean you go back. Eight years ago and young woman Kelsey shelling was. Her name found out she was pregnant and as she was excited. I think her mom shared some of that excitement and her boyfriend apparently did not and she went to go meet her boyfriend after going to the doctor. And getting those pictures that we all get though sonograms and the excitement of the moment and then she was never seen or heard from again and her boyfriend dante lucas now on trial for her murder. Although her body has never been recovered she disappeared eight years ago and no one knows. Well someone knows but investigators are family. Don't know where she is and exactly what happened to her. So i want to bring in a great reporter and she's on court. Tv all the time from our great affiliate denver seven. Liz gilardi is with us. Your stories are on court. tv so often that. I almost feel like you're part of court. Tv but we're not gonna steal you just yet liz. Let's start here. Were eight years after she went missing. Why has it taken eight years to bring someone to trial for this murder. I mean an eight year is almost the day she went missing february fourth. We had opening statements february third. So i think not only. Is it emotional. Time for her family as it is every february but then starting this trial right around the time she went missing and it's a great question as to why it's taken so long. It's something her family has been asking for years Part of the problem with this case and what we've seen is It was initially investigated by the pueblo. Police department Things kind of quieted down. Didn't seem like there was too much happening and her family circle. All of this has just been extremely persistent. They hired a private investigator on twenty twenty. They made the rounds and tried to really get this case out there at that point with the pressure There was some additional examination and the colorado bureau of investigation got involved as well. So it's just been a long road to even get to this point And dante lucas. The suspect i mean he was arrested. I think almost three years ago. I'm so even to get to. The trial has been a long road but just to get to that harass even longer. So what's the back story of kelsey showing dante lucas. How did they meet. And what was their relationship like so you know they might They were fairly young. She saw him playing basketball in college as the story goes and just kind of Became infatuated with him. And you know they started dating At one point she moves away to california realizes. It's really expensive to live out there and comes back to colorado and they kind of rekindle their relationship and then shortly thereafter she becomes pregnant so it was kind of an on again off again relationship. You know they're both fairly young And she's in denver. she's working he lives in pueblo. Which is A little about two hours away depending on traffic. So she's going down there you know they meet up He visit each other and then basically you know she finds out she's pregnant and that's when everything kind of changes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. So here's tomorrow and it says as follows new rubber nana rabbis taught. Now this is in the middle of a whole major discussion relating to the gates or hora which the camera tends to me the sexual drive. Not just the general desire to send although could mean that as well so it quotes verse. And it says edited Mirror i am. I will distance this The northern one from you but it says this is referring to the eighth or hara which is hidden in the hearts of human beings and then the end of the versus because he has done greatly like the great power of gates zara and the texas follows. I'm are by media having your jimmy. Coolum that the power of the eighth or hara is greatest amongst the tourists ages and then it tells the following story once happened that by her demand. Say to a woman with us rise early. And we'll go on the road. And i thought i'll follow them and prevent them from sinning because he assumed that they were having some sexual assignation. He went after them about three miles for three meal through the reeds heard them saying our conversation has been so nice and now we must take separate roads by my enemy.

Godot may have a row each rogue adult men who who is greater than his friend. His desire his yates. There is stronger than than a friend. So my god can i jump and i don't want to jump to very famous bride loftier thoughts so i wonder it may be a slow alternate perspective on this and that the more you put up barriers or the more you like make things You know make the bins into a big deal of being now allowed the harder on those heavier sits on your head. I'm saying this really inarticulate way but it's kind of like if you take a boy and a girl who public school together and all the time wasn't girls and then you send them off to do an errand you don't have two seconds of thought that oh my god you will get a horrible. Overtake them whether you take two kids from haredi community never ever ever have an object to hang out together all the sudden the whole interaction become so much more fraught. So that's the first thing that goes through my head here and so interest. It's it's normally not done or is it. Also because the reason it's not done is it's always framed as being a sexual temptation and for that's the lens that's brought to the reason men and women. We don't have them go together into carry. Community is because women's sexual temptation. Where freight of your yeats their horror and therefore if that's always the message that that also becomes the lens through which you know. The the experience is taking place at boulder trail that's interesting. Yeah i mean my first When i heard this tax was on a totally different tack and maybe not as positive i was like oh god that sounds like a total apologetic for like powerful people like sexually harassing other. People's like oh you know the greater you are the greater your temptation is going to be and it totally like rubbed me the wrong way but i guess watch you're reading is really interesting. I'm like trying to relate to it as like the you know heavier and higher. Your set of expectations for yourself are the like heavier bat. Might weigh upon you like how would you understand that the greater the rabbi quote unquote degraded the rabbi most likely more he has separated himself out from the day to day workings of the world. Right like when we think about great rabbis particular. We think about people who've had a little bit closer themselves from the world's and that's where i'm going with this. Although i do think you are reading sarah which is fascinating to me about the powerful people. There's a whole other way to look at this. Which is that. We often complain about the fact that powerful people are the ones who are much more sexually abusive. And sometimes i we kind of bring it on ourselves because the people that we choose as powerful people and i'm not sure rabbis phones category but generally politicians we go after like people who are charismatic and a little bit narcissistic and who you know love to be loved and one adulation by and we love those people. We pick them. We take them as movie stars. We picked politicians. A man were surprised when they bay. That way does make vase which you cannot see the podcast. So on gonna shut up. Don't disagree with you just. I think that we're missing You know what i. I would consider sort of an obvious perspective. Which is that. it's not just true. We value but the reality that if you think about gates there as more generally as dr could be sexual drive drive lost. You know that. isn't that often. What makes people great. What sort of you know why somebody is nice. Not just your average in our personal. No like i have a passion of doing something in the world making a difference if this you know maybe i don't know if we call it sexual identity that is sublimated and me directly. Guess call it. Yates aaron general. You know that sometimes expresses itself sexually and sometimes super interesting. I really liked that. Yeah totally yeah. I think that's absolutely true. The non psychologist of the group is the one who came up with that with that. There's different ways to look at this. I think. I think it's a really really interesting you know and i think to the damara asked why at all or not statement you know. It is in the context of a discussion of yates. There which is not limited to sexual although the often reduces. Yates there to the sort of sexual drive. You know i mean there's a metric that says the God saw on the end of the steak he told about. Oh you know that it was very good so the mavericks has told my. Opiates are horror so so which is a very i had on suggestive mattress so someone if eight needs out needs mostly good. Who's the gates are. Har- is good but the metrics actually says work not for the easter hara. A person wouldn't build a a major building and wouldn't get married so sort of speaks about the value of the eight sarah as very constructive creative force that can of course he does Destructive as well right. It is really interesting that i won't talk about. These people aren't when travelling. I kinda soon to as a couple so to a while to realize eleven couple with the other question also is the rabbi assumes. Let the same women he's attracted to everybody's attracted to like that's fascinating into dog south houston guy would have trouble with anyone at all or just this particular women were in. A plastic case was just like any sort of vaguely attractive woman would be at the our material or was it. This woman in particular amend the assumption that this woman was that for this guy as well as an. I don't take down kind of winding back way. But i find that also a little bit amusing and that goes back to what i was saying about you. Know if you have no exposure to something to limit your exposure some bank. It makes it much more tempting. You know it's like What's expresses miami. Vinnie lights right. Stolen waters will arm our sweeter so were or the worst the tax about that. You don't trust the somebody's not have sex with their fiance david for the wedding. Because but you're not worried about it after the wedding right because hospice was at once. You have a bread in your basket. Brad's by basket. Like there was no description of the or desirability of the woman was almost like from like exactly what you said that for a by being so sheltered the opportunity to be with any woman would have been just such a irresistible temptation. You know so exactly back shit up. Yeah i was about to say like was that by was he. Did he have any outlet here and also what was he doing following this couple like. Why is that his job. Follow up and make sure that they don't send creepy is is her giving itself a certain allowance. Like i'm gonna make sure they don't see him. But the there's something very right You know What's word titillating out. I think you know about the possibility of of what's going to happen. Yeah kind of and it kind of reminds me of rory of the of the student who goes under the bed like listen to his teacher have but never knows that story. Well rejects. i use it all. I

Let's talk about you. This is so exciting. I'm so grateful you came on the show because we just don't have very many people from georgia i mean. Jim doesn't let me every time i ask on his own. He doesn't like people from georgia or any stubborn fate or really anyone from anywhere but california saying like that. I'm pretty sure i've heard him say that. But i have you and you're from georgia so tell us about your background. What do you do. And how did you get there will native laden and i was educated through all my years from elementary school. All the way through college in fulton county also delivered academy for hostile which is in college far.

The Book Review
James Comey and Truth in Government
"Joe klein joins us now to talk about a new book. From james comey. It's called saving justice truth. Transparency and trust. Joe thanks for being here screwed to be with you. All right joe. You don't need any introduction but for those who are not familiar with. Joey is a former writer for the new yorker former columnist for time magazine author of many many books including perhaps most famously when that did not appear with his byline primary colors And a follow up novel running meat and this week he reviews for us at james. Comey's second book so the obvious question. I have to ask i is. How does this book differ from his previous book. Well it doesn't differ very much at all actually except for one thing. He rehearses all of the confrontations he had with donald trump in both books but in the second book he places that in the context of the need for truth and transparency in government. Which i think is a valuable thing. The book is the repetition of the first book but it's not an insignificant repetition because of the the context that he now placed it so the first book higher loyalty was kind of hybrid memoir both from his earlier days as a prosecutor in the department of justice and then for his brief period at the doj under trump but it was also kind of manifesto about justice. It feels like on the surface this new book saving justice is kind of exactly the same thing. Well yeah it is. It is the same thing and it's obviously something that cody feels very strongly about. But i think you know the important thing here is his view of justice and his view of the fbi remember he was the fbi director. Whom trump fired because he allowed the russian investigation continue which resulted after he was fired in the hiring. A bob muller as special investigator but komi has a very distinctive view of justice. And i and its ecclesiastical he sees the members of the justice department all the way down to assisted. Da's out in the country as being part of a sacred priesthood sworn to absolute honesty to complete probity to conducting the business in entirely facts based and nonpartisan manner and you can see how that might conflict with donald trump right. Does he talk about what's happened at the department of justice since his departure. He doesn't talk about that all that much except to say that it has been corrupted by trump trump spent the last four years trying to make it into a partisan weapon to go after his enemies in. Kobe is appalled by that. One of the things that you do in your review is draw the distinctions between trump's view of justice and company's point of view. Is that something that komi himself dozen. The boker was that you. He doesn't to a certain extent. But i teased it out a little bit from me. The most important thing that is kind of gone overlooked about trump if anything can be said to have been overlooked is his view of the world which came out in the second debate with joe biden where he said only low. Iq refugees showed up for their refugee hearings in other words. The smart ones absconded. Only stupid people abide by the laws. Smart people get around it. Only stupid people pay off their creditors. Smart people stiffen and that is donald trump's operating philosophy and unfortunately it seems to be the operating philosophy a lot of his followers and that stands in direct contravention of commes operating philosophy. Which is you gotta tell the truth. I don't think you could find two more temperamentally opposite. People trump and komi. But what's interesting at least in the little bit of this book that i read it seems is a slight shift in tone from the last book i mean in part it seems like he's he is trying to draw contrast he opens up the book with donald trump sort of leaning back in his chair and telling him that putin showed off to him apparently about russia having the best prostitutes in the world. And he's telling that james comey. Yeah that would not go over very well. Comas is a religious catholic and And as i said he's religious about the notion of justice and truth. I mean he tells a story about his early days as a us district attorney where he was working a drug case and he had a government informant named vinny and it turned out that they put vinnie in the witness protection program and vinnie took the opportunity to get married. The problem is that he was also married in his former life which meant he was now a bigamist which is a crime and komi says that it was his absolute responsibility. Even though the bigamy had nothing to do with the drug case in question to tell the other side the defendant's lawyers that vinnie was a bigamist. And that shows you the degree to which komi will go in the defense of the truth almost to the point of myopia. I

"And today's guest is artist. Vinnie hager gassed short thing. Thanks for having meals player so we we have mutual mutual people. And i believe i believe. In my girlfriend's there is a nice blanket that has your print design on air. So i was like you talk to this guy. What's going on. Yes so if you would. Could you describe your work your creative interests and kind of basically what you do while you're on a pod. Yeah sure so yeah. i'm then hager. I kind of have developed this. Intricate doodling kinda symbol in shape based artwork style. That i then Kinda branch away from just like normal drawings and cameras works and kind of use this patterning that i've created the Take shape furniture or skateboards or custom. Shoes really can cover anything with this kind of doodle style artwork. That have been doing so. That's kind of like the simplest way to describe it. I think so. And that's cool. i. I've seen some of the i've seen various versions of this kind of doodle style and what i've seen with. What would your work. Looks like reminds me of a few different Keith haring comes to mind or have you So where what influences like. Where'd you style come from. What would influences are there because you mentioned skateboarding So i i would imagine as part of your background as well but what are your interests and where it is Wanted to come up with your style. Sure yeah i think i've always kinda skateboard at probably like six or seven th grade. I started skateboarding. And kind of around that same time i was. I never really paid attention in class. Too much in like middle school and always like doodle drawl and cover all my papers in my handouts my tests so the kind of like scribble and quick doodles kind of came from not paying attention in middle school. I was just. I was always like an artistic. My mom was pretty artistic kind of vicious full rubber. Time by doodling on school papers. And then i had like one of those kinds of cheap canvases from michael's job laying around. I was like let me just do this kind of doodles.
On The Ledge
IKEA greenhouse cabinets
"Keeping tropical plants. Happy in the average home is not the easiest thing so many of us resort to things like humidifiers in an attempt to keep that humidity up but in recent years. Lots of gross have been turning to the jillian swedish superstar kia for a solution to their problem turning book standard glass cabinets into beautiful indoor greenhouses for their precious plants. So how did this trend begin. What benefits can it. And how do you go about doing it. My cabinet ministers for today to canadian plonk growers cami and vinnie both of whom have tons of expertise in making awesome ikea cabinets. He is cammy. Who's cami plants on instagram. To explain how she first came across the concept. The first time i saw it was Instagram page in By robin and she used to have this wonderful idea set up where she had to a male. Spo cabinet in fabric four cabinet and it looks really nice In i had like one of those plastic greenhouses where i kept my more rare plants in iraq. Like the idea of having something that will showcase the plants and and looked nice in a room but also help with To preserve the environment that they need to thrive so that. That's where i found that. I founded in instagram. Maybe a year and a half ago or so and also found my friend vinnie. Who had his set up all sorted and we actually met. Because i started setting up mine Through instagram and he was showing me Tips and to do it. And that's how we connected mills boat and fabric as i key products. The names seemed to come out of nowhere. But if you've ever seen an instagram post with a cabinet with glass doors and walls and a metal frame and a fair number of arrowheads stuffed inside. Then the likelihood is it's probably one of these items because they are sold in their millions all around the world but what did these cabinets offer. The makes them so much better than well set of shelves. Cammie believes it's all down to the control. They give you over the volume of your plants. We all are getting into this expensive rare plants right now and in order to keep them a thriving. We have to keep their environment to a certain standard. Right humidity lied air circulation. And it's harder to keep that into a perfect level when we are dealing with hundreds of square foot of over home and if you keep the the whole room super humid in our house you know we are prone to mold and things like that so the cabinets are perfect solution that looks nice in our homes and is not like one of those plastic agreeing Houses a weekend by online so it looks aesthetically. Pleasing is easy to rig into something that the plants will like and they're not super expensive because he's i key is something that you can get. You know in a lot of places in the world right now and so. It's accessible is not super expensive and it keeps your plants happy so i think that's why and if your house is already filled with modern furniture with clean lines possibly some of it both my career. Then what bet is display your plants in than a minimalist modern cabinet like mills bu or fabric for his binney for most people. It's because it becomes a statement peace within your home if that makes any sense. Even when i made my first videos i mentioned that that you know you have those amazon. Greenhouses your plastic in your technically better than the greenhouses their meddle in. And you have to hack it so that it can become a greenhouse but they don't look good in your house so i think that is that is the primary factor for most people. They want to put their plans. Some display as part of the decoration of their house instead of just putting it behind some sort of plastic sheet. That people won't be able to see it through. That will look good in their leaving roles. Obviously a social media plays a huge factor. You know as people build more and more is being held in start posting photos voice. Start to see how beautiful they are in. Its sitter in that. I believe this popularity in to of buying even though sometimes they don't even need them they just by because look good. So you've bought your cabinet and assembled it what next can just start sticking plots in it or is there anything else he needs to do. Well given these companies are not specifically designed to contain plants. There are a few little tweaks that you'll need to make before your plants can become ensconced so the first thing that in each fear is the light whether your room has enough light to sustain that them growing or if you do need to bring in those extra lights i would say that if you are going to bring the grow lights definitely invest in girl is there are going to withstand time but also they they have a very good spectrum so that the the lead the plants grow in the right way. I also answered this question you might. Qna somebody was asking me whether a plane could grow with just normal away and that's immune aspira of research in the answer is kinda because the way that plants photos in decides they pretty much the entire visible light spectrum but they really thrive in the. I think it's an a blue in the red type of light which creates purplish late. So that's why you see purple. I going on. However what. I also figure it out. Is that if you're an environment like myself you saw in my room. I work this remark. Gay alday this is my office. If i have purple lights all over here he will affect my vision because the human eye is not supposed to be in that type of light so it actually is problematic for me. So that's why. I decided to go with the white lights. I don't know if they are as good as the purple ones but they also over a very good spectrum for the points.
Monocle 24: The Globalist
U.K. becomes first country to approve Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine
"The uk government appears to be trying to use the news that a covid vaccination has been licensed for use in this country to create good pr around brexit but england's health minister matt hancock who claimed fast tracking the pfizer vaccine was only possible because the uk was able to act outside of european union. Regulations has been firmly contradicted by the chief executive of the h. r. a. the body that handled the process. Well joint for more. On this by vincent mcilvanney. He's a political reporter and one of monocle twenty four regular contributors. Welcome back to the globalist vinnie. Can you tell us how. The story unfolded i. We had the great news that the vaccine had been licensed then matt. Hancock really dived into controversy. That's i think there was a genuine needle relief and celebration yesterday that the government made this announcement and they'd obviously planned this. Kathleen they have. The scientists going through detail televised press conference yesterday morning just to the public in very layman's terms. How the vaccine had been approved what it would do how it would be rolled out and then we have prime minister's questions where boris johnson and stone had a pretty friendly about They did simply questions about how the rollout would happen. it was. It was quite a public education session then in the afternoon the government seem to trip over itself They started to say. There was a bit of pushback from the germans at the brit. Saying that this was you know a real day for british signs that this was great for. They don't this and then. My ankle comments on braxton. Also jacob re smog sang we could only approved vaccine so quickly because we've left the eu last month we change regulations vaccine didn't need eu approval which has slower and this ready then lead them into problems because that has been debunked has been fact checked by various organizations to say that. That's not the case. It was actually permitted under eu law And that was the point. Made as you mentioned by the head of the ease at medicines regulator on wednesday that this states could act unilaterally and false tracking it. So it's very strange that they have tried to do something which shouldn't be political. Shouldn't be kind of you know doused in one camp or another particular when it comes to leave or remain when it comes to brexit which is still divisive issue here in the uk at a point where we still don't have a brexit deal and then negotiations are ongoing to try and sully it somewhat by putting it in minds of some of the public with brexit is not a good idea and as you say germany took exception to this. Yes they did. They perspective said quite rightly in this european achievements. And perhaps the british government's if they done this. I with the oxford astra zeneca vaccine something which we expect to happen in the next ten days or so then they could claim you know a real big moment for british science and claim that the own but to claim that this landlocked. Because you've fast track vaccine that was developed at the over. The you know in the comfort. And that's gonna be coming from. Belgium is a bit of a strange move by the government. This is the government absolutely desperate for some good news. We have the worst death figures in europe and yesterday was another six hundred forty will so debts in the previous twenty four hours we the west infection rates and so you know they are really desperate now to make sure that they can trump it some of these achievements as their own and i notice. Boris johnson appear to roll back a little bit when he was asked about it later and he talked about international efforts and really quite successfully dodged the question. Yes he did. i think he knows. And perhaps the scientists said got to them that you cannot tie this to to brexit something. That is incredibly divisive and that pass. It wasn't true you know. There's enough missing formation going on about of cave nineteen vaccines that. The government really shouldn't be contributing to it and this something that she came up pm cues and the prime minister sort of echoed that said labour had put out last month and m seems the government will be moving forward that there will be some kind of penalty and fines in put in place to stop the misinformation and the spreading of anti vaccine summation on social media and on the social media platforms themselves. Something that they will have to watch out for. We're waiting for details on that still but it's not a good idea that the government would be putting out false information itself on that same day. Of course this isn't the kind of stuff damaging stuff that we're seeing spreading conspiracies about what the vaccine will do to you. But it's still doesn't help you sell your message somewhat. Absolutely i mean this. I suppose was an attempt just to trumpet. britney's truly global. Yes to trumpet global britain. Something that trying to do. It's also you know the final few days really off. The brexit negotiations going on central london images lost night if boxes and boxes of pizza being delivered to the negotiators so they won't see talking late into the night prisoners facing a real problem and i think part of why the government probably wants pasta quickly. Is that if by the end of this week. We don't have a deal. One becomes very unlikely and so at the end of this month. The uk will leave the european union now. All countries have struggled with their economies. Jerry the pandemic but imagine the double whammy in twenty twenty one of britain also suffering the effects of that no deal brexit. We know that it would be hugely detrimental to the economy and so britain than any country around the world needs to get its workforce vaccinated. Needs to have them feeling confident. Needs the well to think that this is a place that you can come and trade and do business in because it's safe and they need people back out there as much as possible working and so the vaccine really is so critical to be rolled out here to make sure that life can get back to as much as normal as possible because the economy is facing this double threat unlike any others around the well. The yes are repercussions in europe full brexit but not to the extent of the areas here in the uk. I mean the prime minister has warned that there may be logistical problems. Getting the vaccine out particularly to care homes. Yeah that's right. And i think we have to look at the separate vaccine. Say of the fis at biotech. One has very specific needs so has to be stored at just under minus seventy degrees centigrade and has a lifespan of about a month as well and so they don't want basically it cannot be moved again so we're getting the first eight hundred thousand off the forty million order coming from belgium in the next few days. Now that number you have to divide it by two. Because you need to inoculation say britain's ordered forty at that means twenty million people can be vaccinated and the clock is ticking to make the most of that investment in this vaccine to get it to the most critical people but because of the coach storage requirements. It seems that they're going to need to put it into key. Sentences rather than sending out in small batches perhaps to you know local pharmacy. Or a cabaret miss. They thought they would. So what will happen is it will go to places like hospitals where they have that cold storage than going to put it into centers so the nightingale hospitals that have been built and also places like sports stayed the emc. Say think as well in those kind of facilities and instead of bat say you have in town eight also cathodes instead of the vaccine going in small batches of the cabins because of these requirements on the storage. Because it doesn't like they moved too much you will instead means academy ten dis on trips to those senses to the hospital in order for them to get inoculated. Have to do that twice at intervals of two weeks. And after the second vaccine injection seven days later they will then be a not some killer's this they will then not be able to for the effects that there's a slight effects of the vaccine it's being described as a bit like hanging over by some participants in the study. But you will then be guarded against covid nineteen but they used the is one for the most critical people. Nhs staff a care home staff the most elderly in society those most at risk and they need to use as much as possible as quickly as possible at because then what i think will happen is the much cheaper and easier to store and distribute ox sudanic vaccine which is the one that britain has invested. Most in will be the one that most of the population gets

Vitamin company was zero outside investors. Talk to us about that. How did you pull that off. Yeah i think you have my partner. Andy schreiber the vitamin business on the show at some point and what had happened was the whole time. I was in california to reason i went. There was to start up businesses. And every time i had a great idea it turned out. Man made like two or three pennies on a dollar. Because when you're borrowing someone else's money are you have these investors. They're taking the big financial. Had a big chance. Even though you ll invented something they walked lion's share out it and when you go to a bank and beg a bank for money first off you have to have a like a whole business plan written out in the whole thing. And i every time i went to a bank and a wanted to start a vitamin company. There were like who are you. And why should we trust you with my with my plan in place. They were like yeah. We don't think so. And so that's how that whole thing started I got lucky that that was a lucky move in my life. I wrote book. And i it. The book is called fitness confidential. And the book a year. How they say you should dance like no one is looking yeah. I wrote a book as if no one was going to have anything and everything that i wanted to put it in a book went into that buck and it turned out that it was this weird colossal success

Inside Podcasting
What It Was Like to Interview Shima Oliaee
"Hello and welcome to fight podcasting the show in which. Discuss their craft I'm your host Sky Pillsbury. This is a post show episode in which two very special guests will talk to me about last week's episode in which I interviewed Dolly Pardons America producer. Mo only if you haven't heard that episode, I recommend going back and listening to it before you listen to this one that way, our conversation may make a little bit more sense. Today on the show I have with me, the two people most likely to remember my obsession with Dolly Parton. My wonderful parents welcome to the show, mom and Dad Hey. Hi there. Thank you so much for saying yes. Welcome On this kind of show you guys get to ask me questions. I have the first question here ready to go all right dad. Right. Do you feel a part of dollars America? That is a really good question Yes, I think am I mean I must be one hundred percent because I'm a fan, so I think by default that makes me part of her America, because you know I know who she is. I adore her like so many others. Of course that begs the question like what is Dolly, Parton America, and I think one of the points that she made in last week's episode was that Dolly is sort of this prison for everyone else's story? And I'm not sure that I have a particular story to tell but I think that the aura surrounding Dolly is sort of like. Everyone can be part of it. No matter what walk of life you come from and so I guess in that regard. Be Part of Dolly Parton America. She talked about the feelings of otherness enduring during her show. Do you resonate with that at all? I probably don't if I'm being really honest and. That's because I am very privileged in my life, so you know I am female. I'm white. I've had opportunities that many many people don't get to have. I went to college. I got a good job after college. I sort of did the things that I expected I would do. Thus far in my life. But I think that the way that I can relate with that was what Shima said about how she and Chad are both first generation Americans and you are a first generation American, Dad. And so you know what it made me think, and even in the show, because during the show Jad talks about how her dollies Tennessee Mountain home, reminds his father of his home. Overseas, you know of course I couldn't help but think about our family home in northern Finland, so of course I thought about like the listener. Any listener to this doesn't know is that I grew up going to Finland with you every summer and you know spending many many many many days. Not Whole Lot to do kind of like the countryside of Finland in this tiny town with a population of eight hundred people, where almost no one spoke English, and then of course I would spend a lot of time in Helsinki as well where people did, but you know I remember the excitement that I had the day that you got your citizenship when we were living in Hawaii. I remember you wore a suit and that was a big deal because you were is most of the time. So. You know I remember that feeling, but I don't ever feel I can't say that I ever felt other, but I. Think I knew that you at times felt authored. What about you? Well I guess what I was wondering about is. Dolly is also a what I would call a country girl. you got to know people who were definitely from the country, not from the city. That's true. Maybe I speculate that that may have had something to do with your level of comfort with Dali. Oh. That's interesting. Also expressed some interest in Loretta Lynn during that time. I loved Laura Adeline and I think I I remember i. read the Book About Her. Was the book called? Coal, miner's daughter, I don't know. I did identify with those two, but I don't know I can't like point to a memory where I connected those two things myself. You Know My love for them like I. Really Loved Donna Summer at the same time. She's not from the country and I think honestly I think. They spoke to my infatuation with Glamour, and even though I knew that they were from the country. It's sort of like they were like these unimaginable. Creatures all three of those women. They were like such a shiny thing, and then I love the music and I love to dance, but I think that I always had an interest in people who are different than me, and that's why like when we were in the countryside in Finland like I could hang out with Vinnie me. Who is the violin player? You know for hours or make friends with the girl who lived across the street Rita, even though we. We didn't speak the same language, and like really enjoy those people because it was like exposing me to this completely different way of life. You know just a way of life that I wasn't familiar with and I think that in a way Dali Donna. It sort of showed me a completely different slice of

Numbers in there so Jackson Beverly Wilga where collectors of vintage photographs and had in their collection a dagger type. Oh you don't say an old photograph taken using a process that involves a silver plate and Mercury Vapor, and his photo was of a young disfigured man. the photograph was believed to be taken in the nineteenth century. The man in the picture was believed that the man had encountered a whales. He was holding Harpoon like object in the image. TIFFANY's face. That was fun. they couple had the image on display in their home for years in December of two thousand and seven, the couple decided to share the image on flicker and titled it a one eyed man with Harpoon super, super creative, so one win was. When did they have it? In their home? Court were the years they had in their home, but they didn't post it till flicker until two thousand seven. Okay, so they decide like a random picture of some random disfigure. Yeah, some people collect mentioned photographs. My Dad is one of those on. This might make him happy. One Flicker user contacted the Combo commenting that the man probably isn't a whaler as he wasn't holding a Harpoon in the picture, was he holding buy outs. Oh, sorry I thought. You said he was holding her. They said it looked like her. so another user saw this picture and said Hey, this might be the only surviving photo of Venus Gauge, not famous gauge. Where's verb? Not Verb just just benny US I. Don't know that name so shown, either. That's why I said. Where's Fergany isn't firm? So, y'all ready to learn about Fini's gauge.

Lines does part of the job required knowledge in geology and trigonometry, so I have a note to me, saying Insert statement about how trig is as useful of the maths, I will say I really liked. trig choke is super. Useful triggers the most Hallo basic addition. Wouldn't just like OPRAH EMMY BE MORE USEFUL THAN TRADE? Because I never took trig and I'm getting along just fine. Your overcompensating at all. No compensation here I come to terms. Okay, so geology and trigonometry so not only did. They have to be pretty clever, but he also had a handle his crew, who was described as a gang of men who basically needed all the. Since they enjoy things brawling shooting and drinking, they sound like sounds like my. Sounds like the type of people that didn't take trig. had good people skills. Though so is crew liked them to blast the area involved not only defendants have to create schematics aware to drill holes that were a couple inches wide, and a few feet deep, but also had to be able to place them along natural joints and rifts in the rock to make the job easier because why work harder than you have to the cracks just like push it a little harder so i. Like my mental health. Hey? Push it just one step further fine, are we? I completely lost what I was going to save. Thirty Oh.
