People see the end results of hard work. And they want those results for themselves. It's great when you see someone in your dream car, someone with a ripped body and people desire the end result. You meet someone successful wearing a fancy watch, wearing fancy clothes and oftentimes, those things are only a mask for the things they did. They're not showing you the tough times. The times when they were struggling to pay their mortgage. To get through a certain mindset. A bounce back from a failed marriage. Won't they don't see is the countless hours worked to get those results. Going to the gym. Mowing the yard. Most people don't see the countless thoughts trying to keep me from doing the work. Success is a result of overcoming the temptations of staying in our comfort zones. It's pushing through the hard things your mind treats as a threat. I tell my mind to shut the fuck up. Do the work. And get the result. The successful mind finds a way to do the hard things to get things done. Power on.

Primus made numerous radio appearnces throughout the 90s and into the 21st century. Two standout radio appearances are the 1989 KZSU at Stanford University and 1990 at VPRO in the Netherlands. The Stanford performance is well-known for the accompanying video footage, and the VPRO performance also has two of the songs performed on video as well. Perhaps someday we'll see and hear both performances with pristine audio quality. For now, we treat them as companion pieces to Suck On This (KZSU) and Frizzle Fry (VPRO).

Yes, you read that right, Kristin still has the same retainer from the 1990s, and somehow it made its way into this week's episode. Listen to find out why the retainer is making a comeback after all these years! Danna also decided to Google Kristin “back in the day,” and let's just say… the internet remembers more than Kristin expected. Of course, no week would be complete without a few incidents involving the children. This week, Parker managed to cut his finger in the lavender fields—because apparently even picking lavender can turn into an adventure around here. Old retainers, internet discoveries, lavender-field injuries, and plenty of laughs, it's another perfectly mismatched week with Danna and Kristin!

Kevin Costner gambled hard on making a three hour western, a third of which wasn't in the English language. He turned down roles in The Hunt For Red October and Presumed Innocent to take the risk of making Dances With Wolves. And while history tells it as a masterstroke, in the months leading up to the release, it looked anything but. In this episode, Simon digs into the story of the film, the fact that it was millions short of its modest budget when shooting began... and now, the tale of three different cuts of Dances With Wolves too.

David Lynch's Wild at Heart This week we return to a World of Dreams and the Land of Oz through the dark and chaotic eyes of David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025). A Homage/Love Letter to the classic MGM masterpiece, Lynch's 1990 Wild at Heart is a pulsating cinematic shotgun blast. The story of young lovers breaking parole and crossing the country to find a future that is never clear, Lynch's dark romantic comedy is unlike anything seen before, but inspiring to cinema for decades after. With allusions to Fleming's 1939 Technicolor Classic, as well as nods to Elvis, Americana, and the great tradition of cinematic road trips, Wild at Heart cannot be adequately described, it can only be experienced. This week Mr. Chavez & I describe our relationship to this film (his history with it and my first viewing nearly a decade ago). We discuss our history (and dismissa - minel) of Lynch followed by the embracing of this great American filmmaker (also mine). With particular attention paid to the over the top brilliance of all involved in front of the camera, including: Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rosellini, J.E. Freeman, Calvin Lockhart, Grace Zabriskie, Crispin Glover, and Willem Dafoe. We are thrilled to dive into a great film from an incredible director. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Our Continued Love & Thanks.

George Black, guest author, describes how, in the late 1990s, the Canadian organization Hatfield Associates collaborated with the Vietnamese 1080 Committee to conduct a comprehensive study of dioxin contamination. They chose the A Shau Valley as a study site because its lack of industrialization proved that any dioxin found must have originated from Agent Orange. The study revealed that while dioxin had degraded in most soil, it remained highly concentrated in hotspots around old US military bases where chemicals were stored or leaked. These hotspots, such as the airbases at Da Nang and Bien Hoa, allowed dioxin to enter the food chain through fish and ducks. Most tragically, the study mapped how dioxin was passed from mothers to infants through breast milk. These findings made the truth of the contamination impossible to evade, though it still took several years for the first US aid to arrive. Additionally, Susan Hammond began investigating the "deep secret" of herbicide use in Laos, mapping patterns of disability in villages along former flight paths. Her work eventually led to the first-ever humanitarian aid program for Lao victims of Agent Orange in 2023. The Long Reckoning (7)
George Black, guest author, explains that the mid-1990s marked a turning point as Bill Clinton moved toward diplomatic normalization with Vietnam in 1995, supported by key veteran senators like John McCain and John Kerry. This political cover was essential to overcome fierce opposition in Congress. During this time, Chuck Searcy returned to Vietnam and co-founded Project RENEW to address the persistent threat of unexploded ordnance (UXO), which continued to maim civilians. Searcy's approach was collaborative, working closely with Vietnamese officials like Hoang Nam to find local solutions rather than imposing American ones. While UXO removal was relatively straightforward, addressing the Agent Orange legacy remained controversial, and many American officials were initially reluctant to engage with it. Charles Bailey of the Ford Foundation became a key figure in this effort after witnessing barren, defoliated landscapes in the central highlands and asking the Vietnamese what they needed. He shifted focus toward aid for the disabled and landscape restoration. The work of early Vietnamese scientists, such as Dr. Ton That Tung, was also critical, though they had long been unfairly dismissed as propagandists. The Long Reckoning (6)
Tonight we'll step into a vintage hair salon and recreate a classic late 80s / early 90s hairstyle together. We'll browse through an authentic salon hairstyle collection, choose the perfect look, and bring it to life with gentle consultation, hair brushing, trimming, teasing, mousse, hairspray, and soft styling sounds. I hope you enjoy this little trip back to a different era. ✂️
