The Defiant - DeFi Podcast
A highlight from Mainstream Brands Are Joining Web3 In The Bear Market
"Sean Lee is a CEO and co -founder of Magic Labs, which is a wallet that enables passwordless login and Web3 onboarding without seed phrases. Despite not being as well -known as other Web3 wallets, Magic Labs recently raised $52 million from PayPal Ventures, onboarding mainstream brands like Mattel and 7 -Eleven, and has over 25 million wallets installed. In our conversation, we will dive into how they've built enterprise -friendly wallet solutions, their major collaborations, and on the onboarding process of Web2 brands. He also offers his take on how DeFi can be more palatable for the mainstream and more. But first, Sean will get us started with Magic and describe how it's different from other wallets. I'd say a lot of people aren't really familiar with Magic, especially in the Web3 native community, because a lot of our focus has been on the mainstream brands and helping the mainstream onboard into Web3. So that has been our focus. And I say we work with very different kinds of clients, right? So many of our customers, especially enterprises, they actually don't really like to work with multiple third -party vendors, a lot of redlining, and it's pretty cumbersome. And so what Magic is and what helps us differentiate is we are a comprehensive solution that offers a full stack of features and functionalities to suit the enterprise's Web3 use cases across different kinds of verticals. Obviously, our bread and butter is the wallet, but we also collaborate with partners such as Sardine and PayPal to provide fee and on -ramp and NFT checkout. We also have kind of our minting service infrastructure. So basically, we're providing this full stack solution to help our customers get started. And also, I'd say on top of that, our sort of white label wallet is very popular. So in a way, it makes Web3 completely invisible actually to the sort of beginners entering the space. And what's also really cool is you can actually use Magic's white label product to build your own single sign -on or federated wallets on top of our infrastructure. For example, like what Immutable Passport have done on the gaming side. So our solution is quite flexible, and that's where our bread and butter is. And it's also really easy for developers to start, takes about nine minutes to get started. And at the same time, we also check all of the boxes that enterprises are looking for. For example, enterprise compliance, like SOFT2 type 2, some of the privacy ones like GDPR and CCPA, as well as the kind of scalability side of things. And last but not least, we have a sort of patented key management system that is the, I say the most practical solution in the market to address our enterprise customers' performance and scalability need. But at the same time, being really friendly with the crypto beginners and staying with the Web3 ethos, for example, a lot of our principles is to allow the optionality for users to graduate into other types of wallet eventually as well. Or kind of using our keys, plug into other newer wallet standards like account abstraction. And yeah, essentially it's a zero trust system where Magic never sees the private keys and any part of the flow, kind of like a cloud ledger or a treasure actually. And it's about 25 times faster than MPC based solutions, which is really important for some of our customers who are doing high volume drops. Super helpful. OK, so you're offering a full stack crypto solution for mainstream Web2 companies that don't want to be dealing with multiple third parties and just one counterpart that can give them all sorts of solutions out of the box. And you're also white labeling a lot of your solutions so that companies can integrate your products and use their own branding and their own kind of user facing experience, which is probably why many of us hadn't heard much of Magic. Probably maybe we had interacted with some of your solutions. But because it's white label and more of like an enterprise grade system, it's not a brand you see as like an individual consumer. Yeah, that's right. We actually started more on the consumer side with Fortmatic. That's when we met in East Waterloo and we were actually one of the first kind of wallet that was integrated in, for example, OpenSea at the time. So that was kind of recognized as kind of an OG wallet back then. But since then, we've kind of really taken the direction of letting others own the brand, letting the apps and wallets own the direct relationship with their end users instead of being kind of the third person in the process as a separate wallet. So under the hood, you mentioned this innovative key management system. Can you tell me more about what's happening technically on Magic? What sort of network are you using? Is it fully non -custodial? Are people in control of their own keys? How does it actually work? Yeah, I might butcher it a bit because it's quite technical, but I'd say the one key part in the design is to not see the user's private key in any part of our infrastructure. Not when the key is generated or when it's signing a transaction. So essentially the keys are generated in a secure iframe on the user's client. And the key is sent directly to Amazon's hardware security modules for encryption and decryption without routing that through our system. So it's kind of like users have their own kind of ledger or treasure in the cloud hosted by Amazon, and then the keys are being sent directly to there without going to our system. So we're pretty much just keeping the service running from our infrastructure perspective. And what's important for us is that not only you can do this for keys, you can do it for other kinds of data as well. And because we're providing this kind of infrastructure and not directly transferring money from our hosted wallet, and at the same time, because it is on the client side, the users can export their wallets at any time. And we're kind of working towards a path to potentially integrate really well with other wallets or services to make it really easy if they want to graduate, because our focus is really on the very, very beginners in the motion. So if a user wanted to take their funds to another wallet, how would they be able to do it? Like, would they be able to download their keys from this AWS repository and then be able to transfer their assets? And is it like a central exchange where your assets are kept kind of together with others? Or does each user have their own separate account? I guess it's two separate questions. So each user have their own separate accounts. We currently have two flavors of the product, one is a universal wallet, which means one user have access to multiple dApps, like one wallet to multiple dApps, and the dedicated version of the wallet is scoped to each dApp. So you could have different wallets across different dApps, kind of like different MetaMask accounts for different use cases. So I'd say we also tried to make it easier. So essentially, there's a portal that customers can post in order to allow the export of keys. Oh, I see. Yeah. Okay. So it's not like the user has to interact directly with AWS. In what network are you operating? Yeah. So we support actually over 20 blockchains. We started on Ethereum. And then the EVM compatible chains, we do support, but also some other layer ones like Solana and Slow and I think Aptos is coming. So pretty much all the top chains that were pretty agnostic to the chain at this point, but our origin was Ethereum. And are you focusing on layer ones or are you going to layer twos as well? I'd say it's both. A lot of the enterprises do want layer two solutions for cheaper transaction, more scalability. So yeah, definitely both. We are seeing maybe slightly more adoption on the layer two side. Which layer two has been the best option, in your opinion, in terms of, you know, the easiest to use the easiest to integrate, like, what's, yeah, what's been most popular? Oh, that's a that's a tough question. I'd say it's hard for me to have a favorite right now, but I can kind of say what makes a chain kind of stands out to others. I think number one is that there's a lot of resource to help integrate with the chain or tooling around the blockchain that really helps in terms of adoption. So generally blockchain project was great, like documentation or a lot of community content, like those generally are a bit more popular.

Biden's Sneaky Student Loan Strategy Exposed
"John asks us. He's from Waterloo, Iowa. He says, Charlie, what's the latest with the student loans? I heard Biden's doing something unilaterally. Blake, you actually are pretty well read up on this. What's going on? Yeah. So just for those who don't remember, along with all of the affirmative action stuff the Supreme Court did a couple of weeks ago, they also did a ruling on President Biden's big student loan forgiveness plan. He basically came out and said, we can use this piece of post 9 -11 law that we passed for national emergencies to say that the COVID national emergency lets us forgive. I think it was about like $440 billion in student loans, just whoosh. And the Supreme Court said, that's going too far. You can't do that. That is an abuse of the law. And they struck it down. But then the same day, they clearly knew this was coming. The Biden administration just gets out and they're like, we're going to find a different way to do student loan forgiveness. So they're still doing it unilaterally? It is less. They're clearly like trying to find every angle they can. So the announcement they made today is they found a way to forgive $39 billion worth of loans for 804 ,000 different borrowers, which if you do the math, it's like $40 ,000 a person. It's a lot of money. And they found that for it's under their student loan forgiveness plans that you can sign up for, where if you make payments for 20 years and you're doing public service or whatever, they will forgive it. Now, the way they extended this is they took people who actually had not been making payments, like if they missed payments or they did only partial payments, they just essentially said, oh, actually, we're just going to count those and still give you the amnesty. So no, no rewards for playing by the rules. And it's $40 billion. We used to kind of care about large amounts of money like that. That's a decent number of dollars for every single American and just snap your fingers and get rid of it. But it does show what the Biden strategy is, which, you know, the one big sweeping approach didn't work. It got shot down. But now they're taking a distributed approach, attack it from all these different angles, make it less of a public focus, you know, $30 billion here, $30 billion there. And soon you're talking about real money. And you're gradually transitioning us to a new system where what we're going to get is we're just going to have a defacto bonus four years of school that everyone's going to get. And all the money is going to go to these universities. Yeah, this university cartel, they'll be super woke in most cases. And they'll basically be dependent on public money. And the plan going forward is a system that will be so generous towards such a large share of the borrowers that what we're really doing is we're going to be announcing we're going to give $50 ,000 or $100 ,000 to every university that can get someone to attend it. And only a small slice of those people will ever be meaningfully expected to repay all of their loans.

"This episode of based on a true story this week was written and produced by me, Dan lefevre. Before I let you go, while not historical events, there are some birthdays this week for people who have been mentioned in movies or TV shows. So if you're still looking for some recommendations of things to watch this week, here are a few historical options for you. On March 20th, 1928, Fred Rogers was born in latrobe, Pennsylvania. He was, of course, known for his popular TV show, Mr. Rogers neighborhood. He was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2019 movie called a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and as a little side note, this is one of those movies that almost made it to be an episode of based on a true story. Tom junod, who wrote the article that the movie is based on, agreed to be on the show. But then head to back out. So if you know of someone else who might make a great guest to talk about that movie, let me know. On March 23rd, 1904, Lucille fei laser was born in San Antonio, Texas. She's better known by her stage name, Joan Crawford, are though some sources suggest that she actually wanted it to be pronounced Joanne, even though it's spelled Joan. She used that stage name in movies from the 1920s to the 1970s, and she was portrayed by Jessica Lange in the 2017 series on FX called feud, which tells the story of an actual rivalry that existed between Joan and Betty Davis, in Hollywood. On March 24th, 1874, Eric weisz was born in Budapest Hungary. Eric was one of the most famous magicians in escape artist of all time, better known by his stage name, Harry, Houdini. He's been portrayed on screen by numerous people over the years, but if you're looking for something to watch this week, then I would recommend the 2014 mini series simply called Houdini, where he's played by Adrien Brody. So, to recap the movies and TV series that we learned about this week are 1970s Waterloo, 1960 6s the blue max, 2003s Hitler, the rise of evil, 2019s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, 2017s feud and last but certainly not least, 2014s Houdini.

"He kisses the woman who sobs on his chest for a moment. Then he walks past everyone and they watch him get into a carriage and ride off, followed by some soldiers on horseback. This scene comes from the 1970 movie called Waterloo. And it's showing an event that might have happened this week in history. The reason I say it might have happened really only has to do with the movie swapping the timelines around as movies often do and not being too clear about exactly when this specific scene is supposed to be taking place. However, from context and knowing the history of what happened, we know that king Louis the eighteenth's reign in France came to an end this week in history on March 20th, 1815. That was the start of what is known as the hundred days. To give a little more historical context in October of 1813, Napoleon was defeated by a coalition of forces from Prussia, Austria, and Russia at the battle of lip seq. Then in April of 1814, Napoleon was exiled to the island of Elba. That's just off the coast of Italy. But then in February of 1815, Napoleon escaped and landed in southern France. He made his way north and on March 20th, 1815, he arrived in Paris. Many of the French people, military included, welcomed Napoleon back. A lot of soldiers deserted and joined Napoleon's army. Enough so that king Louis the 18th himself fled France and ended up in Ghent Belgium. But of course, that's just the start of the story, because even though they couldn't have known it at the time, Napoleon's days were numbered. After all, that's why we can look back on this with a historical lens and call it the hundred days. Napoleon ended up being defeated for the final time at the battle of Waterloo on June 18th, 1815. If you want to see the event that happened this week in history, check out the 1970 movie called Waterloo and the scene with king Louis the 18th leaving France is a little after the 26 minute mark. And if you want to learn more about the true story, check out episode number 174 of based on a true story where we take a deep dive into the historical accuracy of that movie. Let's pause here for a moment because today's episode is sponsored in part by find law. I love podcasts that help teach me new things. And find laws podcast called don't judge me, has been one I've really enjoyed lately. I'll admit that I wasn't really searching for legal podcasts because quite honestly, the idea of a legal podcast doesn't sound that entertaining to me. But after giving it a listen, they've done a really great job of adding plenty of humor and entertainment into a podcast that helps break down hot topics in the law. For example, if you're a fan of true crime, they have a great episode from January called how to talk about true crime. That talks about a TikTok creator who got into legal hot water for some of her videos. And then they break it down to help discuss some of the do's and don'ts.

We'll stay in France for our next movie and fast forward about a hundred years later. On March 21st, 1918. It's dark in the early morning hours. Standing on steps, a little over a dozen German soldiers are staring off in the same direction. A few of them are puffing on cigarettes. One of the soldiers looks at his watch, then it starts. Explosions can be heard in the distance as flashes illuminate their faces. A couple of the soldiers smile at each other and raise their glasses as if the cheer the moment be explosions continuing in the distance. The camera cuts to a man who opens the window and rests his head on the window frame. This is the main character in the movie, George Picard's version of lieutenant Bruno chapel. Off in the distance, we can see the flashes of light and the sound of explosions as the artillery continues. In the next scene, the sun is up now, the artillery bombardment is still going on and lines of British soldiers are hunkered down in the trenches as explosions hit all around. Then the camera cuts to an airfield where German biplanes are taking to the skies. Down below, lines of German soldiers are poised in their own trenches with bayonets fixed. Formations of biplanes above the battlefield start to dive down. Just then, the movie cuts back to the German soldiers in the trenches and one of them looks at his watch. Then, he fires a flare. All the soldiers start piling over the top of the trenches and rushing forward. This comes from the 1966 movie called the blue max, and it depicts an event that happened this week in history. The start of operation Michael on March 21st, 1918. And while the movie doesn't really try to show the entire operation, it is correct to suggest that this was a major offensive near San Quentin, France, during World War I. It started similar to how we see in the film with artillery in the early morning hours before the sun road. Although in the movie doesn't show specific times, it was at four 35 a.m. when the German artillery bombardment started. It went on for the next 5 hours, dropping over 3.5 million shells on the allied positions, along with mustard gas, chlorine gas, tear gas, and smoke canisters. We can't see the time on the German soldiers watch in the movie before he fires the flare that signals the men to attack, but we know from history that the infantry started their assault at 9 40 a.m.. With such a massive bombardment, there was a heavy smoke that covered the battlefield the entire day and coupled with a morning fog that made it tough to see. Some sources indicate reports of visibility being as low as 20 to 30 feet in some places. The movie is also correct to show airplanes being used to support the ground troops, although that smoke and fog meant they couldn't take off until later in the day. By the end of the first day of the offensive, about 80,000 men were killed with each side losing about half that number. Despite the heavy losses, the artillery bombardment and poor visibility allowed the Germans to push through the allied lines initially. And with the Germans advancing some 40 miles or so, it proved to be the biggest gains on the western front for either side since 1914. But the Germans offensive started to stall near the end of March. Do mostly to the exhaustion of the troops. On April 2nd, thousands of American soldiers joined the fight in what was the first major deployment of U.S. troops in World War I. It was an influx of fresh soldiers into the mix that helped push back the weary Germans. There's a brief mention in the movie through a line of dialog from James Mason's character, general count von klugermann. Where he announces the offensive to a room of German soldiers and says that if they're able to destroy the British and French armies before the Americans intervene effectively, they can win the war. While it's not specifically mentioned in the movie, that bit of dialog probably alludes to the purpose of operation Michael, which was to break through the allied lines and separate the French and British forces on the western front. I guess technically it's true that if the Germans could completely destroy the British and French armies before the Americans intervened, they could have won the war. But many historians think the Germans didn't really expect to be able to win the war by the time march of 1918 rolled around. If they did, operation Michael was a failed offensive that cemented the beginning of the end for the Germans in World War I. Operation Michael came to an end on April 5th. In those 15 days between March 21st and April 5th, almost half a million men died, 239,000 Germans, and 254,000 allies. If you want to watch the start of the offensive that began this week in history, you can find it depicted in the 1966 movie called the blue max. The explosions of the artillery begin at about 55 minutes and 35 seconds into the movie. As if the Mac crispy couldn't get any better, bacon and ranch just entered the chat.

March 23rd, 1933, Berlin, Germany. Every seat is filled at the Kroll opera house. On one side, all the men are wearing black suits. On the other, they're all wearing brown uniforms. The color difference is make for a distinct line down the middle as the camera faces the crowd from behind the man speaking on stage. Text on the screen tells us this is the temporary Reichstag and everyone listens quietly as he continues to address them. Just then, the camera cuts to the other angle from his haircut, then mustache and brown uniform. It's pretty clear who the man speaking is, even without seeing the huge red flag with a white circle and black swastika behind him. This is Adolf Hitler. He tells the members of Reichstag in the audience that in order for the government to carry out the necessary procedures against terrorism. They must support and enabling act, handing power to those who can wield it most effectively. explain what the act will do. All legislation will be handled by the administration, giving them sole right to make constitutional changes. Freedoms of speech association and the press are suspended. Privacy rights in relation to telephone and postal communication are revoked. Looking back at the crowd, we can see a growing murmur and chatter among the men wearing black suits. All the men in the Nazi brown uniforms are just sitting still. This scene comes from part two of the two part Canadian miniseries called Hitler, the rise of evil. And it's depicting an event that happened this week in history, the passing of the enabling act that essentially gave Hitler a legal dictatorship in Germany. There's one key difference between what we see in this series and the true story though. And that's something that I didn't really touch on because it didn't happen this week in history. The fire at the Reichstag. We do see that in this series. And it heavily implies the enabling act was part of the Rex tag fired decree. In actuality, those were two separate items, although collectively they were effective in giving Hitler power over Germany. For a brief timeline of what happened on January 30th, 1933, Hitler was appointed the Chancellor of Germany. Hitler then tried to get president von Hindenburg to dissolve the Reichstag or the German parliament and call for new federal elections to take place on March 5th, 1933. 6 days before the election was to take place, the Reichstag building caught fire. We still don't know who started the fire to this day. The day after the fire though, Hitler blamed the Communist Party of Germany and advised president von Hindenburg to pass the Reichstag fire decree under the disguise of preventing communist terrorism from taking over the country. That decree was announced the day after the fire on February 28th. It effectively gave the Nazis a legal basis for imprisoning anyone who opposed them. Not coincidentally, it wasn't long before those in opposition to the Nazi cause started disappearing from across Germany. Then, on March 5th, the federal elections took place. And again, not coincidentally, the Nazi Party won the most seats with 288 seats in the Reichstag. Then on March 23rd, 1933, they used those seats to help pass the enabling act by a total vote of 444 four 94 against and a 109 absent. The series was correct to show Hitler's speak taking place at the Kroll opera house because of the Reichstag fire. There's a photo of him delivering it that you can find online. The Reichstag was not officially dissolved, but it was effectively pointless since the Chancellor could make and enforce laws without them. And just like that, within the span of a few months, the Nazi Party legally took control of Germany with Hitler as its Führer, or leader. If you want to see the event that happened this week in history, check out the miniseries called Hitler, the rise of evil. Robert Carlisle's version of Hitler delivering the speech at the Kroll opera house takes place in the second part at about an hour and 9 minutes into the episode. Let's take a quick break here because I wanted

She was was a lot of fun. Yeah, we're just hanging out 8 24 in the morning, Just chilling justice and drew on Twin cities. News Talk came 11 31 of 35 FM. I was sharing with with Drew and Sam yesterday, because and apparently I'm the one who gets a bigger kick out of the hashtag milk Crate Challenge, and everybody else does. I'm not going to watch anymore because they are so cringe E out. Well, you tweeted. You're like Nope. Nope. Nope. Not going to do it. And like, you know, you should not do it. You would. You would definitely break something I refuse. That looks so painful. Just it cracks. Why? Why is that? I don't understand why it appeals to you. It's they're funny. They're not funny. I actually don't think that's funny and stupid people doing stupid things are funny to watch. I'm with John. They're really funny. I don't know why, but he somebody to see something like that ketchup. It's that I Look. Humans are stupid. Okay? And you know, in a world right now. Where? Where you have everybody going after everybody else over a bunch of different reasons to get vaccinated. You're killing me. Uh, you know it cracks me up that we have those arguments in light of the fact. That huge, Just plods of individuals will end up partaking in a challenge because they suddenly think that they can accomplish something that they've watched video after video after video of people failing at, but they're going to be the ones that can pull it off. If it does. I don't know what this is They're taking. They're taking the plastic milk crates don't even know where they're getting them. So there's gonna be a run on plastic milk crates and they're stacking them. Apparently, you can't You can't put them and make them like a like a like a tower and walk across them without them tumbling and following right, so people are making various sized ones and trying, And they're all at the vast majority are ending an epic failures like painful epic failure. Listen, if people know that, but that's how stupid people are. So stop! Stop, you know, let people live their lives. Yes, because people are going to do what they want to do with hashtag. You know, Milk Crate Challenge is the example of that, Just like the cinnamon challenge Like those watch buckets Ice bucket challenge. The milk Jug challenge is going to be like an ice pick in your ear Challenge. Ridiculous thing. Stop. Video videos are the chew on tin foil challenge how many people have injured themselves? On the on the Hashtag Millcreek Challenge and ended up in the hospital taken up room in the ICUs. I mean, this is I'm not kidding. You gotta watch these videos You can't tell with. These people aren't getting Injured over but there's like I'll be the one who can do it. So funny. Look, there's a there's a There's a There's a breed of people out there that don't feel like they don't care about being hurt. Right? And they usually go into professional wrestling. And it crosses and and and it crosses like all democrats, Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Some people just don't This male females like anybody that does great. Don't matter Anybody that does that is like an avid skateboarder. Right? And you were a BMX biker? Yes, I was just some of this is I can these are these are high risk activities that you're very, very often even when you're very good at them. Yes, you get hurt at Yes, you do, But for a lot of people, they don't care. That's part of it. That's part of why they do it. You know, talk to anybody who's skateboards, you know, like actual like, like, do it for real hobby into their adulthood. Not just you know your random 14 year old out there, right? I mean, they get legitimately hurt bad all the time. That's part of the thrill of doing it. And I think the people that would engage in these types of milk crate challenges and things like that. It's that same sort of DNA, you know, or however they're wired like they get off on that they enjoy that They enjoy partaking in risky activities. And if they get hurt, so be it. You know they'll they'll feel fine in an hour and they'll go do it again. Life is a risk in our culture is a risk and this is and it's celebrate risk, and this is the point. Right. This is why I'm just so sick and tired of all this. We don't focus on right now. It's all just covid Covid Covid Covid is still like fourth or fifth. And I think most people would agree right? And they would even use it as a as a talking point to stick it to unvaccinated people. Most people would agree. We're on the backside of this pandemic. Right. We've got a vaccine. We've got treatments. We know we have the stupid Delta variant, but people can get the vaccine the vaccine if they want to, and still Covid is like fourth or fifth on the leading causes of death in the country. But you're not seeing any discussion about those other three or four above covid in any of this. That's why I just I can't Just I'm so sick and tired of all of this. I am too. I am too. I'm just done if we want to live in a society that mitigates the risk of death at every possible turn because it's a horrible thing, And it's tragic and yada, yada yada. There are a million things we could change about the way we live on a day to day basis. We don't because people don't want to make those changes because they're okay. Living with that set of risk. I I bring up the traffic example all the time. If you reduce speed limits on interstates to 45 miles an hour nationwide, you would save tens of thousands of lives every single year. But nobody Nobody is on board with that, because who wants to go 45 on an interstate, right? I mean, what's he going to do is it's going to delay you maybe 10 minutes right for your average commute. What's the big deal is 10 minutes. I mean, you know, and just listen to podcasts a little bit longer. No try to try to institute a 45 mile an hour speed limit on interstates with the idea that it's going to save thousands of lives, and you will get pushback from all corners, and it'll be your last term in office. That's a risk that were apparently okay with University of Waterloo. He's a researcher should they simulated a person breathing.

"Mine. And this is the record store recon edition once again of the goldman podcast. And we're going to have. Dr dis talk about waterloo records from austin texas which ran in the february issue. And and that was dr you there. Yes i am that this was another virtual review correct. That is correct. Actually is our first fischel for tool review So we did it a little differently because obviously he had to know that That i was going to be talking to him about it. So i couldn't surprise them with what i was doing. So this is our first official virtual. How does the virtual review work so typically do the one big difference that our readers will will notice is that one of the categories is changed I focus more on their website and did a lot of pre research as to what social media platforms that are available on rather than focusing on what. What's inside the storm. Because obviously i can't see other than a video that are nice enough to show me how the story looks so. It's not fair to raise a store on how they look when i can't really get in there to look so focused more on their website and their social media now. The website you said was pretty good. They had amount of nice specials on texas artists. Because they're in austin texas right and they have their Their good social media Good discounts page correct correct. And so i waited them. I think i gave them an eight or a nine nine out of the website. You go out on the only issue i had was trying to squall through it. Sometimes i just couldn't get all the information to it kept wanting to reset itself back up to the top and i tried it on both my phone and my desktop computer and i was having the same issue Certain than tori is so amusing. I mean there's a reason why And as you read the article that they are ranked like the top record store. Since the date i opened in one thousand nine hundred eighty two for austin texas. That's gotta be pretty good. Considering austin is a music town Now also you said that you wish they had more internal photograph some on the site but the supply like to see what the whole story looks like. Their website really focuses more on the outside the store. There's not a lot of internal photos now. What about the staff. He said the owners. You said you had a great experience with the owner. Talk talk with john. John is owner of the store and he's been the owner since nineteen eighty seven but before that he worked store and he's been with them since they opened in nineteen eighty two and So he was awesome. I got to work with gentlemen in their shipping who handles a lot of the shipping things. Pablo he's been with the he's talking his tenth year and then the man on the floor their duru. Who helped me a run. Around and look for stuff was a gentleman by the name of gos- and causes been with them for four years but He was proud to let me know that this is. This store was the first story ever went to to by his very first effort. Cassette tape of U2's joshua tree we still have so you know. These are people who are committed community. Then come back to work at the same store that they bought stuff from and now you you when you walk into a store you usually check to see how much fleetwood mac rumors and just the judge if if they're overpriced or underpriced they're out of it right. He told you there that's correct. Yeah actually that was. I had like i said gus running around and He could not find any used or new copies. He says that is probably consistently one of their top selling albums all the time. Yes i said i said. Let's talk some other albums that are pretty regularly found in stores and One was he had Pretty have a london records original Rolling stones majesties request And they had a reissue brand new copy for thirty three ninety nine of us copies for thirty nine and that's that's not that outrageous for that album And their albums are really good shape. So that's good so they're they're greening is pretty good. Yeah okay now. You said that way you liked. Did you buy some stuff yourself. Did you buy some texas artists. I by kutch artists. I did order and album from them as well as Loaded up on a on a brand new hoodie. And i've got a new t shirt for the next round of the quilt that that will be made but Waterloo has a phenomenal selection of store. Swag probably up there with Some of the stories that i've visited in seattle. Got a lotta swag now. You said that the interesting history was. There was a partnership It started in eighty two. And then john conce resides name kuntsler lonski. Unc bought out his partner. Louis and i guess it has moved since the current store has sixty four hundred square feet That's pretty and you know as far as a lotta stores are so small right now. They've been closed for a while because kobe or they did they reopen and so just to go back to a point you said earlier the original store which is just down the street from where they are while was originally twelve hundred square feet. And so you're right. I mean they really grew years to a to a building. Now that sixty four hundred square feet As far as what they done during covid 'cause that's been another issue. Obviously of things. I talked about with a lot of our stores. They shut down in march and the just reopened their store november. I think i talked with him. Probably mid november so they just kind of reopened. They're limiting the number of people that they can have in the store and everybody has to be masked up and the thing that impressed me a lot about. John is to his commitment to the community because he said he and a lot of the other small business retailers all been working together to make sure that they were opening up in a safe way and that nobody was like trying to kind of undercut somebody else by. Hey i'm gonna open up a you know a month earlier before this guy. So i mean they really seemed like they put a plan together amongst all of the stores and then move forward with it. Well all this space. They're able to make stuff look good. I was looking at their turntable section. It looks beautiful when fact we printed a photo of it. In the february issue world turntables are on. And it's just a great look display. I mean it looks like almost like a a store like.

Fired Tyson manager defends COVID-19 bets as morale booster
"Earlier we shared a story involving the waterloo tyson meat packing plant and how it's facing wrongful. Death lawsuits from the family members of employees who died as a result of contracting corona virus. Well seven managers at that plant have been fired and one of them is speaking out because he thinks it's important for everyone to know that they're not bad people there actually great people who were just trying to make the work environment fun especially when they were taking bets on how many of their employees would get sick by contracting corona virus so former tyson manager don merged mersch brock said managers conducted the office pool last spring within minutes following mass testing of the plants. Roughly twenty eight hundred workers county officials said last may that more than one thousand workers tested positive for the virus which hospitalized several and killed at least six now. The family members of four of the employees who had died are suing in wrongful death suits and merce brock says. No i mean we're not again. We're not bad people. we're just trying to boost morale. This is exact quote he tells the associated press. it was a group of exhausted supervisors. That had worked so hard and so smart to solve many unsolvable problems. It was simply something fun. Kind of a morale boost for having put forth an incredible effort. There was never any malicious intent. It was never meant to disparage anyone and just to give you some more details on what this pool entailed again. It was a pool among managers at this meat packing plant in waterloo iowa. The office pool involve roughly fifty dollars in cash which went to the winner who picked the correct percentage of workers testing positive for the virus. He also added that. Those involved didn't believe the pool violated company policy and that plants. Positively and the plants positivity rate would be lower than the community rate due to their mitigation efforts. So let me just quickly mentioned with. The mitigation efforts were Based on the allegations these lawsuits there were none. The employees are alleging that they were told by their employers to ignore any symptoms that they may have as a result of contracting corona virus They were pressured to continue working. And they were of course packed into tight quarters as they were working with no social distancing and again the allegations include the fact. They didn't provide protective gear like masks to prevent contracting the virus. So those are the mitigation efforts that this former manager who's been fired from tyson wants to point to so guys. I don't want you to miss something really important in this story Which is a tyson china. Whitewash what's happening here by blaming the managers so it doesn't mean the managers weren't guilty of and i i mean i don't mean that in a legal sense i just mean in a sense of moral culpability. No you should not bet on. How many workers are going to get sick by the way it turns out. The crack number was a thousand thousand of their workers. Got corona virus. Six died so four of the deceased family. Members are suing. Now and so tight. That manager says something abhorrent about how oh just boosting morale talking about how the workers are gonna die. How many of them are gonna get sick spot for us managers. I don't think that's fun and i. If that's what boosts morale for managers that's pretty sick having said that the real culpable people here is is the company because that measure says look they told us solve this unsolvable problem and that he's right they say okay don't take precautions Shoves all back into a building where we know. They're likely to get corona virus and then afterwards will blame you guys For not getting enough production and having too many people get sick but wait a minute was executives decisions not even the managers but executives higher in the company that made that decision so are they more culpable absolutely and so in this particular case. What do they do. And this is what drives me crazy again about the press. They hire former attorney. General eric holder to do a whitewashing effort. And he says yes. The managers are guilty but the company's fine what they paid them to say that he's a lawyer i get it. He has a job. His job is to help companies avoid lawsuits etc so holders during his job but but the press should not give any weight to the fact that he's a former attorney general he was hired a whitewash he whitewashed and the and they make. It all. Seem like only the manager's fault. no it's in this case. It's tyson spalte. Forgiving them can manage irs shoved them back in their. Don't take the precautions. The only thing that matters the bottom line and then go. Oh golly gee they made a bet. I can't believe they did that. It's only therefore and not our fault. Nonsense

$916 billion White House coronavirus relief proposal
"Really wanna fill you guys in on Corona virus aid before we do our interview with senator sanders. So let's get right to it. There's a new and critical update to the corona virus negotiations that are taking place between congressional lawmakers and the white house now. Yesterday it was reported that the white house was urgently asking. Gop senators to approve one time. Six hundred dollar direct checks to americans as part of the coronavirus relief bill and at that time it really did seem as though The trump administration was outflanking democrats in congress from the left But now it's abundantly clear that that's not actually what's going on. It turns out that the one time six hundred dollar check that would be sent to americans would be a trade-off or essentially getting rid of the federal unemployment aid of three hundred dollars per week. Okay that tradeoff off seems pretty ridiculous. And so nancy pelosi talked about it. A little bit today She certainly clap back but she did. Treasury secretary steve mnuchin released a statement. Are you in this speaker. Pelosi spoke today at five pm and on behalf of the president. I presented a nine hundred sixteen billion dollar proposal. This proposal includes money for state and local governments and robust liability protections for businesses schools and universities. Now pelosi wasn't buying it mostly because she had some insight that most others didn't have and she says while it is progress that leader mcconnell has signed off on a nine hundred sixteen billion dollar offer based on the bipartisan framework The president's proposal which cuts unemployment insurance by one hundred forty billion dollars compared to the framework is unacceptable. So she says it's a nonstarter. I absolutely agree with her. On that. and there are all sorts of issues in regard to the liability protections That are offered by republicans. But before i get to that and katie porter shredding republicans for it john. Why don't you jump in. yeah. I find it very difficult to comment on this because the contents of the package change so often. I mean just yesterday mitch. Mcconnell was saying that it wasn't a prerequisite at the liability protections. It'd be in there but now it is again. I i don't or maybe it is. I don't know. I honestly don't know we don't know what is in the bill until after it's passed and usually not even then usually we're not sure even at that point especially You know the amount of money that we're talking about but it is like it's it's again. It's perfect that they've come up with a financial trade off the onetime payments versus basically cutting off the unemployment aid that makes sense to people on insurance that planned to die in the next week and a half it makes financial sense to them or people who are yet on Unemployment insurance and Having wised up to the fact that the federal government is still effectively doing nothing to stop the spread of the virus. And so it's gonna get worse and more businesses are going to get shut down and so a lot of people that are currently unemployed are probably gonna end up unemployed by the end of this dark winter And this is as we'll probably talking about what senator sanders. This is shaping up to be the last thing that they'll do like we've waited almost a year and this. I am trying to search for word that allowed to us on this now. Right now Is the last thing that they're going to do. Insult to injury in every possible way. It's yeah it's just it's so so shameful especially when you put it in the context of how easily the funding for Defense for the pentagon is gonna pass probably with a veto proof. Vote in both the house which already happened and the senate which is likely to happen in the future. That's seven hundred forty billion dollars every year. The number goes up for the most part. And there's no debate about it. It's just going to happen. But i do want also talk a little bit about the liability protection or lybia liability shield which Mitch mcconnell seems to only care about like that's the only thing that he's been pretty insistent on It seemed like maybe he can bend to democrats will on it If there were some pretty significant trade offs But katie porter Did a great job in explaining why this is a horrendous. A provision in the stimulus bill she says you may have heard that democrats and republicans have agreed upon spending nine hundred billion dollars to fund yet another round of small business loans support hospitals in essential workers and helped the ten million people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own everyone at the negotiating table including senate. Republicans have agreed to a compromise except one mitch. Mcconnell is refusing to bring it to the floor unless it wipes away all cove related lawsuits filed that allege injury or death due to corporate negligence. And she goes on to say that. These lawsuits represent the worst of the worst examples of disregard for human life cases filed on behalf of nursing home patients and grocery store workers who died because the company in charge of keeping them safe prioritize cutting costs over protecting them. And i think one of the best examples to share with you guys is what is happening now with a tyson. Meat packing plant Where You know tyson facing a wrongful death lawsuit because dozens of their workers got sick and died due to their negligence. Cnn has more details on that. Let's watch according to the allegations. The plant manager of the waterloo facility organized a cash volume winner. Take all betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager. How many employees would test positive for covid. Nineteen in the end more than a thousand employees would catch the virus about a third of the nearly three thousand working at the plant on stare. Ernest ladders spoke to c. n. N.'s gary tuchman in april about his conversation with tyson's hr department. They told me I was i was i was i was safe. And they told me that Everything was okay and they told me. I have a better chance. A catching the corona virus. Going out to walmart and enticing. Come the work. you safe. The tyson employers also allegedly told their employees to ignore any symptoms. They might be suffering from contracting corona virus into just keep working. it's doesn't insane yeah no the. The era of self-regulation of plants like tyson one needs to change. Which is a whites. Good that the department of agriculture is gonna be controlled by tom. Bill sack who while he was governor by said that they should self-regulate
