È stato un derby particolare, forse come tutti i derby ma questo ancor di più perché come ogni volta che si vince si pensa che era dovuto e invece no, non è dovuto, non è mai scontato anche se poi il divario storico tra le due squadre è abissale e ancor di più dopo la vittoria di domenica che aumenta a 5 i derby consecutivi che la Lazio non vince. Il grande rammarico è stato quello di non aver infierito. Poi si giocava un'altra partita, non quella sugli spalti, ma con gli altri campi. Le notizie da Torino sono state assolutamente inaspettate.

Former Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna delivers sharp criticism of the current AGO's unprecedented collaboration with lawmakers to craft the millionaire's tax specifically designed to overturn 95 years of constitutional precedent while blocking voter input through strategic emergency clauses. McKenna, now part of the legal team challenging the tax, argues the AGO abandoned its constitutional duty by strategizing with legislators on circumventing established law rather than defending it. The revelations from 988 pages of records expose a coordinated effort between Solicitor General Noah Purcell and Sen. Jamie Pedersen to force the state Supreme Court to reinterpret income as non-property, fundamentally reshaping Washington's tax structure without voter approval. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/video-former-wa-ag-rob-mckenna-criticizes-ago-role-in-crafting-millionaires-tax/ #WashingtonPolitics #IncomeTax #Constitution #AttorneyGeneral #TaxPolicy #VoterRights #LegalChallenge #WashingtonState #GovernmentAccountability #ConstitutionalLaw

In this episode of Gangland Wire, I sit down with Salt Lake City author Flats to discuss his book, Ice Pick Willie: The Life and Times of Israel Alderman. We take a deep dive into the shadowy world of Israel “Icepick Willie” Alderman—a largely forgotten but deeply embedded figure in early 20th-century organized crime. Willie's criminal career traces back to Prohibition-era New York, where he began as a jewelry thief before evolving into something far more lethal. His nickname came from his preferred weapon: an ordinary household ice pick. In the 1920s, it was common, inconspicuous, and devastatingly effective. Flats explains how Willie's method allowed him to carry out murders quietly and efficiently, often avoiding the attention that accompanied more public gangland shootings. We follow Willie's movements from New York to Minneapolis and eventually into the orbit of Chicago's violent underworld. Along the way, he intersected with major figures of organized crime, including Meyer Lansky, Charles Luciano, and Bugs Moran. Flats outlines the shifting alliances and rivalries that defined the era, placing Willie within the broader context of gang wars that culminated in events like the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The conversation also examines Willie's transition from violent enforcer to gambling operative as organized crime evolved and shifted westward. As Las Vegas rose with legalized gambling, figures like Willie adapted—moving from street-level brutality to more structured rackets under established mob leadership. Despite brushing against major historical events and powerful crime bosses, Icepick Willie faded into relative obscurity. Flats and I explore why certain gangsters become legends while others—equally dangerous and influential—slip into the margins of history. We also touch on Willie's odd cultural afterlife, including regional pop-culture references that keep his name alive in unexpected ways. This episode provides both a character study of a cold and calculated killer and a broader examination of how organized crime adapted from Prohibition chaos to structured syndicates. It's a detailed look at a man who operated in the shadows—lethal, efficient, and nearly forgotten. Flats' book, Ice Pick Willie: The Life and Times of Israel Alderman, is available now on Amazon.

As most of you, I’m a retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective turned podcaster and documentary filmmaker. I got a couple of documentary films you can rent on Amazon if you choose. I’ll have links in the show notes. Or just go to Amazon and search my name and you’ll find my stuff. But anyhow, today I have a friend of mine from Salt Lake City called Flats. And he’s just Flats, all right? And he’s written a book about a man named Icepick Willie. Now, Icepick Willie has got a great, cool nickname. I’m surprised that he didn’t last through history a little better because people had an easy-to-remembering cool nickname. His real name is Israel Alderman. Now, Flats has been researching him. He got a hold of me because I did a show on David Berman, who ended up in Las Vegas. He was a Jewish gambler from Minneapolis. And ice pick ends up out there connected to him somehow. And I didn’t really stumble. I stumbled a little bit across that, but I couldn’t remember what it was. But anyhow, welcome flats. [1:09] Glad to be here. Thanks for inviting me. All right. Go ahead. I’m sorry. I’m always open for any chance to talk about Ice Pick Willie, one of my favorite people. And if you guys out there know anything about Ice Pick Willie, get a hold of me and I’ll connect you up with Flats. And I’ll have his Gmail in the show notes. But either that or get a hold of me pretty easy. Any rumors or stories, lies, anything about him. [1:38] But in the meantime, in a couple of weeks, actually, by the time this podcast is out, that book’s going to be up on Amazon. But you can always go back. You can always pull those down and add more information in and then put them back up if you want. So that’s a good way to go. Nicknames are interesting. I once talked about doing a show on nicknames and how people got them, and I just never got around to it. And many times you can see how people get their nicknames. Al Capone, Scarface Al. He’s got the big scar on his face, right? Here’s one. One of Icepick’s Willie’s contemporaries, a guy named Albert, was it Tannenbaum? Yeah, Tannenbaum. And he was called Tick Tock. And I looked that up because, like I said, he was a contemporary of Icepick Willie’s. And he got the name Tick Tock because somebody said you move all the time. You’re always like a watch. You’re Tick Tocking all the time. And, of course, there’s Anthony Accardo, who they called Joe Batters. And his guys gave him that. They used to call him Joe. And that was because he beat up somebody with a baseball bat so bad that Al Capone said, you’re a real Joe batters. But he also, many times the press will give people these nicknames. And they gave Anthony Accardo the nickname of the big tuna because he was big. And they had a picture of him with a huge big tuna he had caught. There’s Joe Bananas Bonnano. That speaks for itself, Joe Bananas. And I think the press gave him that. First question, Flats, you know how Icepick Willie got his nickname? The nickname came… [3:06] From when he was in Minneapolis, he apparently picked it up. And this is something which he admitted to later on in his life. He claimed to have taken about 11, 12 victims out by using an ice pick in the ear. [3:27] And ice picks were actually really common back in the 20s everywhere. People had them. Everyone had them in their homes. and they were a real popular tool among Murder Incorporated members. It’s a handy thing, small, quiet kind of a tool. [3:49] Normally, a knife-pick killing was something that took maybe three or four people, not counting the victim. They’d crowd around him and grab his arms, whatever, and then somebody’d do him, they’d haul him off. Uh, Willie had managed to turn this into a one man operation. He’d take his victim. [4:11] He’d be up at the bar with a drinking buddy, get this guy really liquored up, and he’d slip his ice pick out of his jacket. Boom, real quick in the air, ice pick’s gone, the guy’s down on the bar. Not much blood because it’s an ice pick. Forensics wasn’t real hot back in the 20s, so a lot of times they would diagnose this as a brain aneurysm. But the guy would slump over the bar, drunk, dead drunk, and then they’d just haul him off. The story is they’d take him in the back room, he’d go down the coal chute, which everybody had back then, out into a truck, they’d haul off the body. The people that went down the coal chute, they were all pretty much forgotten. But Willie, he seemed to have stuck around. Now, in Minneapolis, apparently he’s still a real popular figure. Memorable, which is funny because Minneapolis, for all my research, is the place there is the least documented evidence about. [5:19] But that seems to be that and Las Vegas are where he’s best known. There’s even a company in Minneapolis that does a nail polish they named Ice Rick Willie. It’s a popular culture thing there. Yeah. Now, did he start out in New York with Erlansky? He started out in New York. He grew up on the Lower East Side. Like so many people, Benny Siegel and Meyer, everybody came from there. Early on, and back by the 20s, Meyer had hooked up with Charlie Luciano, and most of the serious Jewish gangsters came under Meyer’s umbrella, so to speak. And this Willie supposedly, according to another author, this is when Willie hooked up with Meyer, was early on during Prohibition. But Willie didn’t start out as a bootlegger. He started out with a bunch of jewelry store robbers, but they were pretty notorious at him. God, his first record of him was, oh, when was it? About 1925. [6:34] He got a charge for robbery. Not a lot of details on it. The charge was dismissed, and it seems to be a pretty common thing throughout his entire life as far as resolution of his legal issue. But anyway, then right after Christmas, that’s in year 25, he was going by Izzy Alderman back then. Israel, Izzy was his nickname. He didn’t get into Willie till later, but he went into with a couple other guys and they hit a jewelry store for about $75,000 worth of jewelry. Oh, wow. That’s a pretty good chunk of change back then. That’s a score, man. That is a real score back then. Oh, yeah. And then a few months later, along with a couple other people, he hit another jewelry store in the Bronx, William Sims Robbery. This one was pretty well publicized. And they go in, they take the, everybody there, the owner, employees, customers, tie them up, they’re in the back room, they grab trays full of gems, usually diamonds, they’re out the door, never even touched the cash register. So they got about a hundred grand on that. Got away. Next morning. [7:59] Another jeweler, Sam Candle, as he was opening up his shop to let a friend in, some guys come pushing into the door. Izzy’s with them again. Once more, the same M.O., everybody’s in the back room tied up. Another hundred grand or so worth the gems. So they’re doing pretty good by now. Wow, yeah. I assume that whenever they fenced them, did you find out much about how they fenced them? Did the Italians get a piece of the action? Did they make him pay up, or did Meyer Lansky get a piece of that? I’m sure that Meyer was somehow connected to this. He got a piece of everything that was going on in the Jewish world. And originally, at that point in time, there was not a lot of interaction between the Italian mobsters and the Jewish mobsters. They had their own little thing that they kept to themselves. They felt safer that way. They could trust everybody. It was actually pretty much Meyer and Charlie Luciano that moved things past that point. I see. But up till then, everything was coming under Meyer’s thing. So they were doing pretty good until they did a robbery. [9:19] There was a jeweler, Aaron Roddark. Now, about 18 months earlier, he’d had an attempted robbery where he had shot and killed one of the robbers as they were running out of the store. So he got a bunch of publicity called the Fighting Jewelers in the press, a popular guy. About a year and a half later, another crew walks in. This is Izzy’s crew. [9:50] When they come in, same thing, the fighting jeweler, he goes for his gun. Doesn’t work out so well this time. This time, he’s shot and killed. But they didn’t get any jewels. They take off again. [10:05] But now they’re hot. This is big news. Fighting jewelers murdered. Big publicity, big public outcry. And cops are looking for them hot and heavy by now. [10:17] And by now, so a few weeks, couple weeks after the fighting jewelers murdered, one of Izzy’s crew was picked up, coming out of a doctor’s office, for a gunshot wound, where he’d been treated. Cots get word of this, they pick him up, and he immediately starts confessing to all the jewelry store robbers, giving up partners. They pick up a couple more people pretty soon everybody is just singing like canary it’s like the mormon tavern fire or something so the cops are looking for everybody they haven’t got they pick up almost everybody the two people are missing from the last robbery where the guy was murdered is Izzy Alderman and one of the other guys Robert Byrd. [11:09] So Izzy and Robert they know they’re hot They’ve got warrants out. They know the police are looking. They’ve got this information because they’re connected to whoever. So they leave town. They’re on their way to Chicago. They’re going to go there to hide out, take care of business for a couple reasons. One is Robert Berg has brother, Ollie, who is tied in with the Northside Bugs Moran gang in Chicago. Ago, Holly is also a jewelry driver and right about the time, right before. [11:47] His brother, Robert, gets to Chicago. Ollie and a couple guys are on an Illinois Central commuter train. They robbed three jewelry salesmen while they’re on the train of their jewels, managed to get off the train and get away. They got picked up about 12 hours later, though. So now his brother, Ollie, is in prison again, of course. But Robert is connected. They have connections to the Northside gang. Through the brother, through Ollie. And this is a safe place for them to go, relatively safe. At that point in time, Chicago’s got the beer wars going on, and so it wasn’t a real safe place to be. But they had out there, they’re there maybe a week or so. The cops raid a hotel room, they pick up Robert Burke. They also find a bunch of jewelry, which they trace back to the New York robbery. So they know this is all tied together now. They don’t get Willie. Izzy is still at that point. So Robert Berg, now he’s back to New York going to prison too. Izzy needs a new partner. Berg had a guy he was running around with, Red McLaughlin. [13:06] Red’s partner’s in jail, and Izzy’s partner’s in jail, so they came up a little bit. But now Red already at this point the cops are looking for him hot and heavy in Chicago a little while before they found him. [13:24] The cops saw him on the side of the road, Red was on the running board of the car, reaching through the window, choking the driver. The driver turned out to be, of course, a jewelry salesman with the jewelry in the car. Red explained to the cop that his friend was just having some kind of a fit, and he was trying to help him. The cop wasn’t going for it, and so Red was off to jail. He managed to get bailed out. And as soon as he’s out, he just goes off on all kinds of things. By now, the cops are looking for him for being involved in some kidnappings and bootlegging and murders. One newspaper article called him the man of a hundred brides. He’s like Lon Chaney of the criminal world or something. So now the cops are really hot after Red. He’s junk bail. He’s doing all this other stuff. There they raid a hotel, the Webster Hotel in Chicago. They’ve got a tip. That’s where they’re going to find him. Yeah. They don’t find Red, but they find his buddy in there. They find him, and he’s got a suitcase full of guns. [14:38] But no, he knows this is turned out to be actually Izzy Alderman, but he knows the cops are looking for Izzy Alderman. So he tells the cops his name’s Robert Lewis. They don’t know any better. Things are different back then. Yeah. He also told them that he was a bootlegger from Detroit. And that, I guess, would explain having a suitcase full of guns. And when they get ready to arrest him, he tells the cops they’re going to be wasting their time because he says he has some high connections in the illegal liquor business in town here. And apparently he was right because all of his charges were dismissed as soon as they haul him in once again. Back then, it seemed in Chicago, because of Al Capone, Bugs Moran. [15:30] New York with Meyer and Charlie, Prohibition contributed to it a lot. Corruption was just fantastic. So you could buy your people’s way out of everything, which was nice if that’s what you were doing. Yeah so anyway Robert Bird disappears and now Willie all of his partners all of his connections everybody’s locked up missing dead something he’s out of work again but he’s in Chicago since 1927 they’re in the middle of the beer wars he’s a starker a tough muscle man starker’s Jewish term so he hooks up right away They were Bugs Moran on the North side. Bugs is more, the Bugs Moran gang, they were people like Frank Foster, Ed Newberry. He had other Jewish gangsters working with him at the time. So Lizzie fit in pretty good. And it isn’t long at all, maybe a month later, he gets cops pull over a car. They find Frank Foster and Izzy Alderman in there. And they’ve got guns, of course. And once again, the charges just disappear. Everybody goes on their way. [16:51] So things are rolling along. The beer wars are going good. And now we get into the taxi cab wars. because in Chicago back then, that’s how you settled everything. You had a war. There were two cab companies mostly going on in Chicago at the time, and they were shooting up each other’s cab offices and throwing bombs and shooting up cabs. So the Yellow Cab Company puts out a hefty reward for the people involved, which leads to another made by the cops on this time. It was a Broadway apartment where there were supposed to be people involved in all of this. [17:30] Among the people they find, first off, Frank Foster, who at the time was a high-ranking member of Bugs Moran’s group on the north side. They also find another bunch of people, one of them named Harry Davidson. This was, again, Izzy Alderman, but he knew that the cops were looking for Izzy Alderman, and they were looking for Robert Lewis by then. So that was Harry Davidson, and that worked out. And, of course, everybody gets charged with concealed weapons, and then the charges are dropped, and catch and release. Yeah, catch and release Chicago. It was really interesting. So shortly after this, of course, this is 1929 in Chicago, and it’s Valentine’s Day. We all know what happened there. Now this brought major heat, major attention from everyone nationwide, the student. [18:30] And surprisingly, later in life, like I said, he used to almost brag about his activity as he got older. One of the things he would tell people is that he missed the St. Valentine’s Day massacre because he was in the bathroom. Yeah, I was going to say, he missed that. The bathroom wasn’t in SMT partage, if that was the case. They had an outhouse, Flats. They had an outhouse out back. That’s true. Yeah, he was close enough to do that activity. Yeah. He was just caught up in the middle of all the major things happening throughout Gangland at that point in time. Really? How does he end up in Minneapolis? It’s reasonably close to Chicago, and there are some connections. It is. [19:19] Before he ends up back in Minneapolis, first he ends up back in New York. What happens now in New York, they’ve got their own problems going on between the two gangs back then. Yeah, they had the Castle Marie’s War during that time, I believe, or sometime around then. It broke out. Actually, it happens right after he gets shot. But as he gets picked up, there’d been a shooting that they had. First, they had the Easter Massacre, where a few people get shot up. And then the Fox Lake Massacre. Like I said, everything in Chicago was wars or massacres. And by the time the Fox Lake massacre happened, it was after the Valentine’s Day thing. Izzy Alderman, Frank Foster, Ted Newberry, and probably at least 6, 8, 10 other people affected. They left the Northside gang, and they moved south and joined up with El Capote. [20:21] Obviously, they could see where everything’s going. I mean, everyone at the outside is winning. But the authorities were aware of it. So after the Easter massacre and the Fox Lake massacre, now the cops know there’s going to be all kinds of retaliation. Fox Lake thing, Al Capone’s people got shot up. So cops are out on the street looking for people. They pull over a car racing down the street. They find Frank Foster, Izzy Alderman again, out with their guns. Once again, they get hauled in, arrested, catching release. Shortly after this, now we get a reporter, Jake Lingle. Jake Lingle, he was crooked. He was on the take. He was one of these $65 a week reporters who vacations in Hawaii and has an apartment on Lake George Drive, that kind of thing. He even said he had a fancy piece of gold jewelry that was a gift from Al Capone. Anyway, he gets into trouble with people there. He gets killed. [21:32] Now, everybody knows you can’t. The people you don’t kill are cops and newsmen. Jake Lengel gets killed, and now, once again, it’s like St. Valentine’s Day all over again. Big public outcry. Cops are hot and heavy. They know somehow Izzy Alderman is somehow tied into this. Frank Foster’s tied into it. So they’re hunting them. And a few months later, a cop spots Izzy. He’s in a restaurant with another guy, Joe Condi. They’re eating dinner. Cop recognized Izzy because he was really, which is surprising, he was really well known then to the cops, to the press, to other gangsters. [22:19] And yet today, who was Izzy Aldenman? Who was Ice-Pick Willie? So time goes by. But the cop spots him, recognizes him, grabs, snatters him up, and arrests him. As soon as they come out of the restaurant, runs him in for questioning for the Lingle murder. They get him in. There’s nothing they can tie him to the Lingle case with. So they charge him with vagrants. This is a new deal, a new tool that prosecutors are using in Chicago. Yeah. We know you’re a gangster. We can’t prove anything, so we’re going to arrest you for vagrancy because you have no physical means of support. You don’t have a job. [23:07] When Izzy was arrested at this time, he had about $650 in his pocket. This is worth like over 12 grand today so yeah the economy’s good when vagrants are carrying that kind of money obviously but they get arrested charged with first they’re brought in before a judge one judge mccordy he says there’s nothing to hold them on the lingual thing so they’re free to go the minute they walk out of the court building they get arrested charged with vacancy taken in front of another judge, Judge Lyle. Now, Judge Lyle, he’s known, he’s a holy terror when it comes to gangsters. He’s just after them. And even he admits the vagrancy thing, I’m not sure it’s really valid, but we’re going to charge you anyway. First thing is, he says, is I want a lawyer. So the judge tells the court reporter, the defendant has no comment at this time. And then in what’s probably the shortest trial in history, Izzy and his buddy are found guilty. [24:21] And shipped away to jail in a matter of like 10 minutes or something. How long was the sentence for? How long was the sentence for? They were sentenced to six months in jail. Okay. Surveillance. Okay. So now their lawyer comes back, goes back to the first judge, McGordy, who had released them on the Lingle chart. [24:49] And he convinced her, I don’t know, for whatever reason, Judge McGurdy says, no, I have jurisdiction in this case because they were brought before me first. And so he issues a bond and sets them free again. As soon as they walk out of the courthouse, they’re re-arrested again for vagrancy. At this point, their lawyer, the lawyer’s upset. And he’s telling, he tells the cops, that’s it. If you’re going to take them in on this bullshit again, you got to take me too. So they all went down to the station, the lawyer with them, charged with vagrancy again, locked up. Judge Lyle, like I say, Judge Lyle was not a friend of these people. He missed their fail at $10,000 on the vagrancy charge. And then he immediately changed it to $20,000 a piece because he was afraid they might make the $10,000 bail. These vagrants, mind you. So they’re backed off in jail. [25:56] Late that night, the lawyer, who’s also out of jail at this point, finds another judge who is either totally unaware of this case or he’s very aware of it. Either way, this judge says, oh, no, that’s way too much bail for vagrancy. The bail should be $100 for that. And as he says, they’re bailing at $100. They’re out again. Boom. So the next day, they go to court facing the, vagrancy charge in front of Judge Lyle. Judge Lyle immediately says, no, your bond was issued falsely, charges him with another $20,000 bail, has him re-arrested. Oh, my God. So they get their bond reduced to $10,000. They bail out of jail. They go to court. [26:51] Finally, on the vagrancy charges, maybe a month later. They’ve been dealing with this now for almost two months. Vagrancy charge. First day of the actual vagrancy trial, Izzy goes in, they arrest him for the burglaries back in New York, charging with hoax. So now they’re ignoring the vagrancy charge. They’ve got him locked up. They’re holding him for extradition to New York. He fights this still. He holds out finally in December, just a couple days before Christmas. He ends up back in New York to face the vagrants. He’s charged with the robberies and the murder of the fighting jeweler. Finally, everything gets dropped back in New York. You know, this is Meyer and Charlie’s area. All the charges are dropped. He’s free and clear again. He’s back home, so he sticks around. and it’s just in time because, as you mentioned, the Castle Marie’s war breaks out like a month later. [27:57] There’s no actual evidence, a lot of evidence of his involvement, but coincidentally, he is charged with murder about a month after the war breaks out. And, of course, his charges drop again, too, like they are. And then as the war goes on, first, Charlie Luciano, he swapped, changed his sides, they whacked Joe the boss, and then they set up Maranzano. [28:27] And Salvador Marenzano gets shot and killed in a restaurant, supposedly by a hit squad of Jewish gangsters that Meyer organized, because Meyer and Charlie were pretty close at this point in time. It isn’t sure who all was involved in that. Benny Siegel was supposed to be one of the shooters. And there’s no mention of Izzy being involved in it, but once again, just coincidentally, he left for France a couple of weeks after the shooting, where he stays until the end of the year when they first held at a couple of conferences. The one where Charlie Luciano organized pretty much the Italian crime family And then a couple months later, Meyer had one where he organized Jewish people, except Meyer had more of a national thing, whereas Charlie’s was more of the New York Five family kind of thing. [29:37] So anyway, at this time, I guess moving along here, Dave Berman, as you’re familiar with, being a Jewish mobster out of the Midwest, he’d come under Meyer’s umbrella. And then in 1927, he gets called to New York. He ends up in New York. At the time, Meyer, the Bugs and Meyer gang, especially being Budgie Siegel and Meyer Lansky, had this thing going where they were kidnapping rival bootleggers. Bootlegging was big business. Meyer was taking control of all of that. It was coming, especially coming in from Canada, which is where the Midwest came in, coming in by boatloads from Canada. We were drinking Canada Dry. Yeah, good one. So Dave Berman, he ends up in New York. Another bootlegger named Abe Sharlin gets kidnapped. [30:45] And the family agrees to pay like a $50,000 ransom to get him back. So when the two guys show up to collect the ransom, instead of a pile of money, there’s a pile of cops waiting for him. Immediately, a shootout breaks out. The one guy jumps out of the car, pulls out his gun, big shootout, people running everywhere. One guy shot and killed. The other guy, he surrenders. That’s Dave Berman. So Dave Berman, it’s, doing this for Meyer, but the cops don’t know that for sure. But they arrest him. He’s off to Sing for seven years for kidnapping. [31:27] Actually, back then, Sing, the prison in Ossining, New York, sat on the river, and so most people sent there, prisoners were shipped up there by boat. That’s where the term sent up the river. I didn’t realize that. Cool. So he does his time while he’s locked up there there’s not a lot of Willie doesn’t show up a lot but there is one specific mention of him, B Kittle he was a nightclub singer back in the early 30s young girl goes to New York chasing her dream ends up working at the nightclub that just happens to be to hang out for the mobsters. She doesn’t know this, but… And actually, she ends up marrying Mo Sedway later on. And Mo Sedway was one of Meyer Lansky’s close people, Benny’s people. She does remark, though, that she remembers there were two guys she’d always see sitting over at a table in the corner drinking together. One of them, she said, was Izzy Alderman, who she said was a lieutenant for Moe Sedway, and the other was Fat Irish Green. [32:51] Fat Irish Green was Benny’s bodyguard, hang-around-everywhere kind of guy. We always see the same people popping up all through this thing. Izzy’s plugged into this bunch. So anyway, we jump ahead a couple years. Dave Berman gets out of prison. Gets out of prison immediately. Meets up with Mo Sedway and Meyer and Charlie, everybody there. Dave’s been a stand-up guy. He kept his mouth shut about everything. He took his beef. He was good about it. But the story goes, they offer him a million dollars in cash for his loyalty. Fire took the judge. More employers should be like him. [33:42] Dave said he didn’t want the money. He wanted to be, he wanted control of gambling in Minneapolis. His mother lived there. His brother, Chickie, was there running small-time gambling thing. That’s where he wanted to go. And they say, okie-dokie, which I think is a good example of the influence, shall we say, that the East Coast group had over the rest of the country. They can just, I’ll give you this city in the Midwest. But before A.V. heads there, interestingly enough, there’s a couple of treasury bond robberies, big treasury bond robberies that happened in New York. They need total like over $2 million. [34:31] Big bucks and the FBI tracks down some of the bonds to a Minneapolis gangster, so when they arrest him along with him the Minneapolis gangster his name was Royce Boris Royce not that it’s a big deal but with him they pick up Davey Berman Davey the Jew is what he was called at that time they weren’t quite as politically correct, They got Dave Berman, they got Moe Subway, and there was a guy that the newspapers called, one account called him Jacob Irish Greenberg, and another one called him Jack Green Greenberg. So this would have been Fat Irish Green, it was Jacob Greenberg. [35:21] Once again, by the time it was done, acquittals all the way around. Wonderful things for him. Now Davey Berman pays off to Minneapolis to join his brother in the gambling thing. He gets there. Brother Chickie was running gambling initially. Isidore, or Kid Khan, was in charge. Isidore Bloomfield was in charge of the Minneapolis thing. And his brother, Yiddy Bloom. Yeah. But, of course, Davey’s here now. Since Kid Khan and his bunch were also Jewish popsters, that means they are linked to Meyer. And when Meyer says, okay, here’s Davey, now that’s how it goes. Davey immediately starts expanding the gambling joints into horse booking and race wire and craft games and everything. And he’s a good businessman. He’s sharp. And he’s learned a lot, apparently, from Meyer because he knows how to keep his name and people out of the name. Back then in Minneapolis, they had a deal. It was called the O’Connor Existence. [36:41] For the it was a deal that the local police had with gangster you could come to our town, and we won’t bother you we’ll leave you alone three conditions you check in with us when you get here so we know you’re here you of course make various payments to the necessary police and city officials and it was an orphan’s fund to the widows and orphans fund the police, and you promised that you will not commit any crimes major crimes while you’re in twin cities minneapolis st paul and if they’d agree to that they could stay there safely no matter who was looking for them so this also made it kind of more attractive i think for dave burman and people like him because obviously all you got to do is pay people off you’re good to go yeah kind of like the hot springs of the north, huh? Oh, yeah. So, once again, with this kind of ability, you don’t find a lot of mention of. [37:52] Dave Berman or his crew, especially in Minneapolis, and some of the police records have been lost there over the years. So that made it a little harder, too, to track things down. There are a couple of interesting things. For example, now, part of the Berman crew, one of them especially was Slippy Sherr, a guy named Phillip Sherr. They went by Slippy. He was really an interesting sort of guy. He was definitely a violent person he was constantly charged with assaults and murders and of course the charges were always dropped there was one occasion he was out with some friends in a bar they end up in an argument with the bar owner turns into a fight the bar owner goes outside flags down a motorcycle cop who’s going by the motorcycle cop goes back in with the bar owner and they proceed to get in a fist fight with Flippy and his friends, they get lumped up pretty good. Later, when they go to court. [39:01] The officer made a remark in court about, he said, all in all, it was pretty fair fight all the way around. And he said, for the most part, they’re pretty nice guys when they’re not drinking. Yeah. So aren’t we all? He was that kind of the guy Flippi was bollocked, Oh, another example of that. Willie ends up, by the time he hits Minneapolis, he’s become Willie Alden. He’s given up the Izzy thing, trying to put that behind him. Now, his focus is gambling. He’s like Dave Berman. It’s a muscle, maybe, behind Dave Berman. But he’s mellowed out a lot, and you don’t hear a lot about him. In one incident, though, they were golfers of all things. They loved golfing. And this is the 30s. So, of course, they can only golf at the Jewish golf course. Jewish people weren’t allowed at the regular country club. They’re out golfing. Flippy, sure, he would always join them. We wanted to force them. They didn’t deal with golf well. They’d get upset easily. I know the feeling. I know. [40:19] So on one occasion, Flippi slices a ball over into a neighboring farmer’s field. There’s an 18-year-old kid over there farming his potato crop. And Flippi, being argumentative, is a problem breaks out over the ball, him and this kid. Pretty soon, Flippi’s over there in the field. First, he starts wailing on the kid with his fist. And then he starts beating on him with his golf club until he knocks him out. Oh, man. This is like a $30,000 golf club. Game for flippy by the time it’s over and probably got extra strokes on that hole while he was there. [41:03] That the berman crew ran in minneapolis was 613 hennepin this was they were regularly it seemed like it was an annual thing it’s probably a deal they hadn’t once a year the cops would hit 613 Hennepin, they’d raid it, they’d charge him with gambling, whatever, and they’d pay their fine, let it go. But like clockwork, if you check the newspapers, once a year, it’s 13 Hennepin. So finally, last time, 1940, they go in, and now their cops are hyped. Big, great, they ain’t got all these cops, they’re ready to get the door down, charge in. To get there, Doors are wide open. Cop belt all run in. There’s still hot coffee on the stove. There’s a chalkboard full of all the race results. Everything but people. The places. There’s nobody in the place. This upset him made more of an embarrassment, I think, than anything for the police. He finally got beat out on that one. [42:09] That was 613 Hennepin. Was that the address and the name of the spot, 613 Hennepin? Or was that Hennepin’s like a common name up in Minneapolis? It was called the TMA Club. Okay, and the address was 613 Hennepin. Yeah, it actually had a couple of different names, But the address, no matter what club was at that address, whatever they called, it was the same thing. Yeah, I got you. They just sold. Now, about this time, this is late 1930s, of course, I’m sure you’re familiar with the Silver Church thing, the support group, so to speak, in the States, right? Yeah, yeah. And Judge Perlman from New York got a hold of Meyer Lansky. Yeah. See if he could offer assistance. And among the people that Meyer called was Dave Berman, of course, in Minneapolis. And Dave said, sure, I’d be glad to help. And Willie would be glad to help, too. Dave was a little nervous about Willie’s assistance because they really didn’t want anybody killed. And he wasn’t sure about that with Willie. But as it turns out, they said that Silver Shirts held their meeting at the Elks Club in town. and J.B. Berman showed up with some friends and baseball bats. [43:32] It took him about 10 minutes to clear the place out. A couple more go-rounds like this and the silver shirts, all the… [43:42] Nazi groups, neo-Nazis, whatever, they changed their mind about having these kind of meetings there. Like in New York, when they had Nuremeyer brought his people in, they were not extremely friendly to the Nazis, which is understandable. So the Silver Shirts complained to the mayor, Mayor LaGuardia, demanding protection for their rallies and their marches. And the mayor is obligated by law to protect them, to provide them with the support. And he did. He rounded up all of the black and Jewish officers he could find and assigned them to that duty. His mother was Jewish. Yeah, crazy times. It’s hard to believe. If you don’t read it in history yourself, you wouldn’t know it. It’s really something that’s been a gift under the rug. We had those Nazi sympathizers right up to World War II. It was crazy. Oh, it was amazing. People like Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, who wrote The International Jew. At one time, if you bought a new Ford, you’d get a free copy of that book. [44:57] I read that somewhere, The International Jew, that Jewish conspiracy that’s supposed to take over the world and have all the money and everything. Yeah, that’s interesting. That’s ridiculous. They just want to take over gambling. It’s obvious. Yeah, really. Then they wanted to move all these guys you mentioned, Mo Sedway and Mayor Lansky, of course, and Buggy Siegel. They all end up out in Las Vegas. They take it all to Las Vegas, don’t they? Yeah, and like I said, right from the very beginning, you’ll see the same name over and over. Benny Siegel, Gus Greenbaum, Joe Stacker. They had an amazing bunch. And if you look at it, most of them died in bed. Yeah. [45:43] It was a whole different, probably, mindset than you’d see with the Italian gangsters at that time. These are people who managed to stay out of jail, stay out of the press, and stay out of the ground and make money. Yeah. A FBI agent here in Kansas City gave me a quote one time on a documentary I was doing. He was talking about this national crime syndicate. And he said, yeah, he said, the Italians provided the brawn, and the Jews provided the brains. Pretty much how well you got to Vegas, obviously the Jewish groups around the country had been running gambling. They were smart. Meyer especially was a visionary. This guy was a genius in Meyer’s mind. And he could see that, obviously, Prohibition, as wonderful as it was for them, wasn’t going to last forever. But he could see the future in gambling. And I’m sure he didn’t foresee Las Vegas back when Prohibition was repealed, but he did see the direction things were going. [46:55] He developed gambling all over the country. And then when Vegas came along, this was just a wonderful thing for legalized gambling. They had the expertise, the experience, the knowledge, all they needed. Because opening casino is an expensive venture, so they needed more money. The Italians provided extra cash, and the Jewish groups had all the experience and the knowledge to run there. That’s where, back in the one conference, the Fraconia conference that Meyer organized, where he organized the Jewish groups around the nation, at that time he convinced, both groups were convinced that it was time that they start working together and not be at odds with them. with each other. Yeah, no, it was actually, it turned out to be a real profitable agreement as time went on. Yeah, especially in Las Vegas, so. [47:55] I’ll tell you what, Flatsy, it’s a hell of a book. That’s a hell of a story you’ve got there, guys. [48:00] We’re not going to disclose everything because we’ve got to go on out to Las Vegas, but we’re not going to disclose everything. We want you to buy that book. It really sounds interesting. It’s really a walk through the history and the expansion of organized crime from the early days from the Castle of Racey War and Chicago and the Beer Wars to Minneapolis and on out to Las Vegas. It’s a hell of a story. and Ice-Pick Willie was there for all of it, it sounds to me like. That’s what I found so amazing is pretty much every major event in gangland history at that point in time, he would somehow evolve there. And yet, here like 50 years or so after he’s dead, nobody even remembers him. They will now. The people he knew, the people he associated with, the things he’s seen, what a life really guys the book is Ice Pick Willie the life and times of Israel Alderman and the author is Flats F-L-A-T-S and I will have a link to that book on Amazon when this comes out so thanks a lot Flats I really appreciate you coming on and telling those stories, you betcha thanks for having me.
Threat That Trump Made Against Iran Just A Few days Ago
After speaking in broad and sometimes severe lines about the struggle of the spiritual life, the holy elder begins to lower his voice. He does not abandon the path he has shown. He reveals what makes it possible to walk it. Not strength. Not resolve. Not mastery. But hope and humility. He speaks first of hope, not as an idea, but as a living trust in the providence of God. A man begins to see that his life is not held together by his own vigilance. There are moments he does not see, dangers he cannot anticipate, falls he cannot prevent. And yet he is preserved. A stone is about to fall. A wall begins to give way. Death itself draws near without warning. And still, God restrains it. Or quietly leads the man away. Or even permits the blow, yet removes its power to destroy. The heart that begins to perceive this does not become careless. It becomes peaceful. Hope is born when a man sees that his life is already in the hands of Another. This hope does not belong to the negligent or the indifferent. It is not given to one who abandons effort, but to one who labors and yet ceases to trust in his labor. He still acts, still watches, still struggles, but inwardly he has shifted his ground. He no longer leans upon his own understanding. He leans upon God. And from this, a strange boldness arises. Not presumption. Not testing God. But a quiet fearlessness. The soul begins to move through the world without the same anxious calculation, because it knows that even what it cannot foresee is already known. God becomes his constant concern. And so God becomes his constant care. ⸻ Then the elder turns, even more gently, to humility. He does not begin with virtue. He begins with weakness. “Blessed is the man who knows his own weakness.” Not the man who despises himself. Not the man who speaks harshly of himself. But the one who sees. This knowledge does not come through reflection alone. It is given. A man is allowed to be tempted. He struggles. He plans. He guards himself. He tries to secure peace through effort, discipline, vigilance. And yet he finds no rest. Fear remains. Trembling remains. The heart refuses to be stilled. Then, quietly, something is revealed. Not his failure, but his need. The soul begins to understand that no arrangement of its own can give it the certainty it seeks. All its hedging about, all its carefulness, all its ascetic labor—these are not enough to establish peace. And this is not a condemnation. It is a gift. Because at that moment, the heart turns. It begins to seek another help. A help that is not its own. A help that saves. Humility is born here, not as an achievement, but as a recognition. The man sees the distance between his weakness and God's strength, and in that seeing, he no longer trusts himself in the same way. He becomes watchful, not out of anxiety, but out of truth. He gathers himself inwardly, not out of fear, but out of clarity. He knows now that without God, he cannot stand. And with God, he does not need to be afraid. ⸻ Thus hope and humility meet. Hope says: God holds my life, even when I do not see how. Humility says: I cannot hold my life on my own. And together they open the path. Not a path of certainty as the world understands it. Not a path of control or self-assurance. But a path of quiet reliance. A man begins to walk it when he entrusts himself—again and again, in small and hidden ways—to the One who has already been carrying him all along. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:14:25 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 183, #6, last paragraph 00:15:15 Janine: That's a great book!

Hubo un día en que el humo azul silenció al mundo: La revolución de las 2T llegó al Mundial. Hoy en "Garaje Hermético" nos ponemos nostálgicos para recordar un cambio de paradigma que sacudió los cimientos del motociclismo. Solemos hablar de cómo las 4 tiempos sustituyeron a las 2 tiempos en la era moderna, pero a menudo olvidamos que, durante casi 30 años, la historia fue justo al revés: una rebelión de simplicidad mecánica y potencia bruta que destronó a la aristocracia de las válvulas. ¿Por qué eran superiores? La respuesta a la superioridad de las 2T es pura física aplicada. En un motor de 4 tiempos, el pistón debe subir y bajar cuatro veces para completar un ciclo; solo hay empuje en una de cada cuatro carreras. En cambio, el motor de 2 tiempos aprovecha cada vuelta del cigüeñal para generar una explosión. A igualdad de cilindrada, esto se traduce en una entrega de potencia mucho más masiva, aunque también mucho más salvaje y con una curva de potencia puntiaguda que requería manos de hierro para ser domada. Walter Kaaden y el espionaje industrial El gran salto tecnológico no vino de un circuito, sino del ingenio de Walter Kaaden en la Alemania Oriental. Él descubrió el secreto de las ondas de presión e inventó el escape de expansión (la famosa "bufanda"). Esta forma cónica permitía que los gases rebotaran y actuaran como válvulas invisibles, reteniendo la mezcla fresca en el cilindro. Esta tecnología llegó a Japón de la mano del piloto Ernst Degner tras una huida de película de la RDA, convirtiéndose en el arma definitiva de Suzuki y Yamaha. La caída de los gigantes: MV Agusta Durante décadas, MV Agusta fue invencible con sus motores de 4 cilindros y 4 tiempos. El Conde Agusta consideraba que el 4T era la única forma "noble" de correr, pero el orgullo fue su perdición. Las motos japonesas de 2 tiempos eran más ligeras, estrechas y potentes. El punto de inflexión llegó en 1975, cuando Giacomo Agostini, el "traidor" más laureado, fichó por Yamaha y logró el primer título de la categoría reina para una 2T. Máquinas y pilotos que forjaron la leyenda En este repaso histórico, no podemos olvidar las monturas que cambiaron las reglas del juego: -Suzuki TR500 (1971): La pionera que demostró que el 4T era vulnerable. -Yamaha YZR500 OW23 (1975): La moto con la que "Ago" rompió el maleficio gracias a la válvula de escape YPVS. -Suzuki RG500 "Square Four": La moto de Barry Sheene, estrecha y aerodinámica, que democratizó las parrillas de GP. -Honda NSR500 (1984): La bestia definitiva de 180 CV para solo 130 kg. Pilotar estas fieras exigió un estilo nuevo. Sin freno motor, genios como Jarno Saarinen o Kenny Roberts "El Marciano" tuvieron que inventar el pilotaje moderno, sacando la rodilla y aprendiendo a derrapar para hacer girar unas motos que no perdonaban el más mínimo error. Curiosidades: La era de las 500cc de 2 tiempos nos dejó anécdotas inolvidables. Los pilotos vivían con el miedo constante al gripaje, manteniendo siempre dos dedos sobre la maneta del embrague para reaccionar en milisegundos si el motor se bloqueaba a máxima velocidad. Además, el característico olor a aceite de ricino permitía a los aficionados "oler" la victoria desde las gradas. Incluso Honda, gigante de la ingeniería, tuvo que aprender una lección de humildad tras el fracaso de su sofisticada NR500 de pistones ovales; finalmente, tuvieron que rendirse a la evidencia y construir una 2T para volver a ser competitivos. Conclusión: Las 2 tiempos reinaron con un aullido inolvidable hasta 2002, cuando el cambio de normativa a la era MotoGP permitió que las 4 tiempos duplicaran su cilindrada para poder competir. Se cerró así un capítulo de motos ligeras, sucias y maravillosamente violentas que marcaron a toda una generación de aficionados. ¿Eres de los que echa de menos el olor a ricino o prefieres la perfección técnica de las MotoGP actuales? Cuéntanos tus recuerdos de las viejas 500 en los comentarios.
En este episodio de Designaholic, Rodrigo Escandón habla sobre la práctica de APRDELESP, una oficina de arquitectura con base en Ciudad de México que ha construido una metodología propia para pensar el espacio desde el levantamiento, el uso y la apropiación. La conversación recorre el origen del estudio, su manera de entender la arquitectura más allá de la forma, y proyectos que expanden su práctica hacia objetos, exposiciones y plataformas culturales. También hablamos de iniciativas como Estación Material, los Accesorios Espaciales y el Castillo de Chapultepec, un proyecto que busca construir una infraestructura cultural independiente desde la arquitectura.Escucha este episodio si estás…• buscando otras formas de pensar la arquitectura más allá del edificio terminado• interesado en metodologías de diseño y procesos de trabajo• preguntándote cómo se cruzan arquitectura, institución y comunidad• siguiendo prácticas contemporáneas que se mueven entre espacio, objeto y gestión culturalShow Notes y Links relacionados a este episodioConsejo: “Tener claras tus prioridades y tu metodología propia.”Recomendación: Inventar el futuro – Nick Srnicek y Alex Williams (https://www.amazon.com.mx/Inventar-futuro-Postcapitalismo-trabajo-general-ebook/dp/B06XWCVXDJ)APRDELESP → https://aprdelesp.com/Sigue a APRDELESP en Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/aprdelesp/• Mauricio Rocha → https://academiadeartes.org.mx/miembros/rocha-mauricio/• Tania Osorio → https://ced.berkeley.edu/people/tania-osorio-harp• Mario García Torres → https://www.instagram.com/mariogarciatorres/• Magalí Arriola → https://www.arteinformado.com/guia/f/magali-arriola-159592• Café Zena → https://cafezena.com/• Muebles Sullivan → https://mueblessullivan.com/• Museo Experimental El Eco → https://eleco.unam.mx/• Pabellón de México en la Bienal de Venecia → https://aprdelesp.com/casos-de-estudio/#caso-de-estudio&ce25peo• Estación Material → https://aprdelesp.com/casos-de-estudio/#caso-de-estudio&caso-de-estudio-75-estacion-material-vol-1• Fabián Cháirez → https://fabianchairez.com/• Museo Tamayo → https://www.museotamayo.org/• Aeromoto → https://www.aeromoto.org.mx/• Castillo de Chapultepec → https://mnh.inah.gob.mx/• Subasta del Castillo de Chapultepec → https://subasta.elcastillodechapultepec.com/• Banquito Solidario para Artistas → https://www.instagram.com/p/DUV6mKVDn-O/• Galería Lodos → https://lodosgallery.info/es/• Sala Jardín Bar → https://lodosgallery.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sala-jardin-bar-PR-Espanol.pdf• Ago x APRDELESP → https://ago-projects.com/artist/aprdelesp/• Accesorios Espaciales (primera exhibición independiente) → https://ago-projects.com/exhibition/accesorios-espaciales/• Notas Sobre la Casa-Árbol de Winnie the Pooh → https://arquine.com/notas-sobre-la-casa-arbol-de-winnie-the-pooh/• Notas Sobre la Silla Blanca de Plástico → https://arquine.com/notas-sobre-la-silla-blanca-de-plastico/Este episodio es patrocinado por MillerKnollNo te pierdas nuestros episodios, publicamos todos los Martes.Síguenos en:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/designaholic.mxFacebook https://www.facebook.com/designaholicmx/Twitter https://twitter.com/designaholicmxSuscríbete a nuestro newsletter semanal “Las 5 de la Semana” aquí: https://embeds.beehiiv.com/b98191c1-e91e-4e8c-bf49-e4ff0603f851Nuestra página web es: http://designaholic.mxTambién te dejo mi cuenta personal donde además de publicar sobre mi estudio y los proyectos que hacemos, comparto mucho más sobre Arte, Arquitectura y Diseño.Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jd_etienneTwitter https://www.twitter.com/jd_etienne Hosted on Acast.

Où est le bon ? présente l'épisode 135 du podcast Agoécologie Voyageuse !Dans cette série de 4 épisodes, Opaline a souhaité mettre en lumière la puissance de la régénération de rivière basée sur les processus (ou régénération low tech), encore plus forte lorsqu'elle intègre la dimension du faire ensemble. C'est ce qu'elle a pu vivre pendant le stage auquel elle a participé aux Fermes de Ségur. Ce stage a été bouleversant et elle a voulu ici vous transmettre un peu de ce que j'ai vécu. Les participant·es sont repartie.s avec une envie frénétique de mettre les mains dans la boue, manier les branches et les feuilles et se déguiser en castor pour redonner leur liberté à des cours d'eau, et réhydrater la terre.Dans cette première partie, vous allez découvrir le contexte agricole corrézien dans lequel a eu lieu le stage et remontez aux origines de la régénération de rivière basée sur les processus. C'est ainsi que des américains ont nommé il y a une dizaine d'années un processus fortement inspiré de ce que fait le castor depuis 8 millions d'années. Considérez cet épisode comme une FAQ sur la castor et la santé des rivières.Cette série fait partie de la saison 5 du podcast Agroécologie Voyageuse, dans la thématique Rendre l'Eau à la Terre. Cet épisode a pu être réalisé grâce au soutien de donatrices et donateurs du podcast Agoécologie Voyageuse et Opaline souhaite remercier aujourd'hui Perrine, Cédric, Helene, Françoise, Corinne, Hannah, Flora, Kristell, Maria et Martin.~~~~~~ Pour aller plus loin ~~~~~~

50 episodes! Imagine that! We are back again with our dear friend Agostino Simonetta in the second part of our two part interview. This time with Fernando taking the lead for a deeper one-on-one since Shams had to go and spread some democracy across the galaxy (as he should). Fernando and Ago is immediately getting in to familiar territory with conference season, industry rituals, and the strange push and pull of showing up (or not). From there, it drifts into bigger questions about the usual suspects as growth and consolidation, but more importantly - what really happened during the acquisition rush of the past few years? Expect perspective shaped by experience, a few (unexpected?) analogies, and the kind of side paths that make us rethink how stable the industry really is. Oh yeah, also expect banter. Of course.

(The Center Square) – Washington State Bar Association investigated Gov. Bob Ferguson when he was attorney general in 2023 for his office's handling of a lawsuit that cost taxpayers $3 million, new documents obtained by The Center Square show. The confidential investigation found insufficient evidence to prove wrongdoing, but the WSBA probe has never been reported, according to the records obtained for the AGO's office through an open records request. The Center Square also obtained records showing other complaints were filed against Ferguson while he was serving as attorney general, but they were dismissed without further investigation or directed to Ferguson's private attorneys.

(The Center Square) – Newly obtained records reveal further details of the Washington State Bar Association investigation into Attorney General Nick Brown that ended hours after The Center Square reached out for comment. WSBA rules dictate that bar complaint investigations into private attorneys are to be kept confidential, but The Center Square obtained records of the investigation through a public records request to the AGO. The office acted as defense counsel for Brown and AGO employees and resources were used to prepare the response. Among the new details revealed is that Solicitor General Noah Purcell sought and obtained two separate extensions of deadlines set by the WSBA, albeit the first one was after two deadlines had not been met. The Center Square has previously inquired with the WSBA whether extensions were granted but did not receive any response. The AGO has also never responded to The Center Square's requests to confirm the information. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I did a monthly market stat breakdown for Halifax, but here I am back again!Few things to note. Average home price was $597,168.00 which is only the second time this year that the average home price in Halifax dropped below $600,000.00 (the only other time was July 2025.) So that means 2 times in the last 3 months has the average home price dropped below $600k. Something worth noting!To me, the important things to note in this months market stats are the number of homes for sale in Halifax (1320), and the months of inventory in Halifax (3.2 months.)Why?Halifax has not had 1320 units for sale since April 2020!! That's the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when home prices in Halifax started increasing rapidly. Now since the start of January 2025, Halifax has increased it's number of units for sale every single month, starting from 792 units in January to 1320 units inSeptember. Now in real estate, we live and die by the rule of supply and demand. Ff there are no homes for sale and strong demand, prices go up, and if there are homes for sale and no demand, prices go down. Simple, right? Well if that's the case here, than home prices should be starting to cool off in Halifax becuase we're starting to get supply (number of homes for sale) back. And you can tell, because we are gaining units for sale every month. Days on market is up, Halifax is seeing more price adjustments, and homebuyers are starting to be able to negotiate price adjustments on purchases. So, something is starting to happen in Halifax. The next thing would be the months of inventory at 3.2 months. So this is a real estate mathematical equation we use to see how much inventory is in a real estate market at any given time. The equation is simple, we assume if Halifax receives no new listings, how long does Halifax have, based on rate of consumption by buyers, until it runs out of listings? 3.2 months. Why is this important? Halifax has not had 3.2 months of inventory since October 2019!! Just think about that for a second, Halifax now has as much inventory for sale as we did back in October 2019. 6. Years. Ago. Before the real estate market went crazy!! Now another thing to note, the real estate industry has 3 different real estate markets. Sellers market, balanced market, and a buyer's market. A sellers market is defined by 0-4 months of inventory, a balanced market is 4-6 months of inventory, and a buyers market is 6+ months of inventory. (This is defined by CREA, the Canadian Real Estate Association.) So if that's the case, Halifax is actually 0.8 months of inventory away from a balanced market. A balance market by definition states that a buyer is paying fair market value for a home.So what does this all mean? I'm taking it as signs in the water that the Halifax real estate market might be starting to cool off... But Halifax home prices seem to be sticking to their all time highs throughout all of 2025. So are home prices the last things to come down? Or will buying demand come back now that the Bank of Canada is cutting interest rates again?Who knows, something to think about. Last thing to note, September 2025 received 654 new listings, September has not received that many new listings since September 2020 when everyone was chasing the red hot real estate market and all time high home sale prices... So are sellers still chasing these all time high prices, or are people selling their homes because mortgage renewals are here and the change in interest rates are too much for them to bear?Food for thought!Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infinityrealestategroup.ca@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtor
C'est encore une pause dej au coworking qui m'a mise sur une nouvelle piste. Un collègue me demande si j'utilise ChatGPT pour promouvoir le podcast. Et là, je réalise : on est de plus en plus à poser nos vraies questions business à des IA. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de cette prise de conscience un peu vertigineuse, des différences entre SEO classique et SEO “LLM” (ou AGO), et de pourquoi il devient urgent de s'intéresser à la découvrabilité… via les IA. Tu me diras : – Tu t'y intéresses, toi, au référencement pour les IA ? – Tes prospects, ils demandent quoi à ChatGPT ? (Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Fantastic Four: First Steps Is this, the 4th attempt at bringing the Marvel Universe‘s “First Family” to the big screen actually as fantastic as it purports to be? Well, we have finally settled on a look and feel that best suits the classic super hero squad: and it’s ‘60s Retro-futurism all the way for one and all!!!

It’s part of Marvel’s Phase 266. Quinny Yep. First film of Save 6. First film of, say Phase 6. God, that’s. Speaker 6 Dion Why couldn’t have made it the first film of Phase 4? Quinny Because that was quite some time. Dion And then it. Would have been. Ago. Right. OK. Look, the fourth attempt at the Fantastic Fours and I I include in that the the 1994. 1. Which was never released except IS is is hovered around. Yes, there was a 1994 one. Jill That would make this the 5th 1 then. Dion Yeah. No, no, it’s it’s, it’s, I say this as in the fourth go at it because there were two with the same cast. So you have the, yeah. Speaker 6 Ohh OK. Dion What are you talking about? This is. Our fourth thing. We have had, yes, it’s the fourth thing, you know, Michael Chiklis did a great job getting covered in rubber. Quinny That is true, Yep. Peta Yeah. Dion You know, and then you know, we’re up to this one. Jill Can’t remember the other guy. Quinny That’s gonna get off in the life. And remember who played the thing in Fan 4? Stick. Ohh my. Dion God fan 4 stick. Jill I know. Quinny That was, that’s what it’s called. Jill Fan Fant Fant 4 stick. Quinny I don’t know, but I I just. Jill Yeah, I think that a was in the. Middle not at the start. Quinny Ohh OK, I just call it fan 4 stick because it’s it’s easier to say. Dion Ohh, that’s right, it’s Jamie Bell. Quinny Ohh God that’s. Dion Right, you remember. Speaker 2 Whoops. Quinny He was the young. Dion Billy Elliot. Speaker 3 Yes. Quinny And and the young, chipper guy out of of the first king or the the King Kong movie that Peter Jackson did. Dion And he was also tin tin. But that was who made. Quinny It so not really who you would think. Yeah, would fit in a giant thing. Jill Memorable. Dion That he was the. Thing, yes. Quinny And Karina makes a good point, a arresting piece to Julian McMahon, who was the 1st Doctor Doom actually. Sorry, 2nd Doctor Doom. Speaker Yeah. Yeah. Dion Yes, because there was a doom. Jill I did rewatch the 2005 version on the weekend just for a bit of nostalgia. Yeah, I like those trashy ones. They’re great. They’re so campy and stupid. Speaker Did you? Quinny What did you think of it? Speaker Yeah. Jill And I look back on them. And I’m like, wow, the simpler times where we did comic book films. And we really, really did make them comic bookie. Speaker Yeah, man. Yeah. Dion And finally. Jill Well, we weren’t going. For all of the realism and stuff. Quinny Yeah. And they didn’t have to fit in with some. Gigantic *******. Thing. Jill I will tell you practical effects. Thing I don’t know I like. Yeah, CGI 1 is like that, feels like. A cheap cop out. Quinny Right. OK. OK. Fine, no suit. Jill With balls on it and not put in. Any effort and? Just animate it. Quinny You know what? Dion Wait, do you mean wait? Peta The fine effort. Jill Hey, it’s a different kind of effort. I’m like, let’s get our hands dirty and make a ******* stinky suit out of foam expanding. Foam or something like that and. Of course, some lung disease. Let’s get into. Dion I’m I’m going to like, I’m just going to take it on part of the actors there. Sometimes I’m just going to be like, yeah, maybe they don’t. Jill It. Quinny This is Jeff. Dion Want that? Maybe they don’t want to spend 16 hours in a makeup chair to to to do. Yeah. Speaker 6 As a cosplayer, I I would agree, but I would also disagree because I think it would be fun to make it. Dion Sure. I mean ultimately it’ll be that great thing of like they make someone do that and then they just go oh. Quinny I’m. I’m just. Dion We’re just gonna CGI it. Quinny Well, The thing is, there was a there was a lot of the thing in this one that was actually practical. Like there’s quite believe it or not, there’s there’s shots that they hired a a pretty big wrestler to be the body for it. So on set. A lot of the time there was a practical suit, dude of roughly the right size. Is. Jill So we’re not talking about a guy that’s just standing in there in a green zentai. Quinny No, I mean when when they’re doing it with Evan Moss, Baccarat, then he was in the uh, whatever the **** he said. Backup, backup, backtrack. Dion Doctor rap. No. Baccarat. That’s a. Quinny Alright. Dion Game I know. Quinny Dion Know you’re in a casino in Monte. Carlo yes, guys. Quinny Anyway, when he was on set, yeah, they they had this entire certain stuff like that. But there were quite a lot of it that was shot any time they needed, like a wide shot and everything. They actually had a dude in a suit with the. Ohh head and everything. Cool. Alright. Yeah, I’ve I’ve seen the the pictures of that, but I’ve also in the chat just put a link to the 1994 one and the thing in that Jill, you would love that one because the the suit actually looks more like the comic book character than any of the others have. Jill I love the terrifying dead. Eyes. Speaker 3 I know. Dion I mean, it’s great. It’s yeah, it’s very thingy. Jill That’s. Yeah, that’s. Speaker 6 Look at that thingy over there. That thingy. Dion Yeah, that, that, that is definitely something I’d go. What is that thing? If I saw it in a in a thing? Jill With that young man with fake grey sideburns. Quinny I know, right? Dion Yeah. Hey guys. I’m trying hard here, Joe. What? Quinny Honestly, if you could find that film. Like this. This is I love this one because my my thing with Fantastic Four it it started with this film because I was one of those ******* nerds who heard that there was a film that got made and was never released. So I then went and hunted. Speaker For. Quinny It and I, you know, back in the days of VHS trading, got somebody to send me a *******. VHS of this film that had never been released, and I’ve watched it. It’s terrible, but it’s actually got a lot of, like, it’s trying really hard. Jill And. Nice. Quinny To do all of the things that are fantastic, four movie should do just with no budget. Hmm. So yeah, like it’s got Doctor Doom. It’s got the mole, man. It’s it’s got them all doing their powers. But like Reed, stretchy arms are like pool noodles with a with a *******. A glove on the end. Jill I mean that’s still image alone is giving vibes of like 70s Italian Spiderman. Dion Yes, got a bit of that. I mean, you’ve gotta. What’s what’s the what’s the the crossover slash league like the Marvel Group, you know, secret wars thing. It’s the 1989 Punisher. Dolph Lundgren. It’s the the Captain America film. It’s the Fantastic Four film. Quinny Hmm. Dion You know, it’s all of those ones Pre Marvel Universe. Mashed together. And you’re like, what is this strain? ******* place, but we don’t. Here, we’re in a different, strange place this time. We’re in much more budget, some bigger names and some. Quinny Yeah. Dion Finally, they sort of kind of got people who give a ****. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Dion About doing something fun. Quinny Yeah. Jill And that’s nice. Surprising what you’re going to accomplish when you put in some time and effort. Speaker Yeah, isn’t it? Dion Isn’t it’s kind of like oh. Quinny And when you? And when you’ve had three goes at it before and gotten it wrong three times. You kind of go. Well, **** it. We’re gonna hold off on this one because, I mean, Fantastic Four has always been seen as Marvel’s first family. Like, you know, they’re they’re one of the very earliest Marvel superhero groups. And you know, we’re what, 40, you know, 39 films in now something. Speaker 5 Sure. Dion More, I don’t know 112 where 112 films in now. That’s how many there are. I I won’t be fact checked. Quinny And we’ve, yeah, and now we’ve just introduced the very first Fantastic Four stuff. So yeah, it’s it’s an interesting one. I mean, obviously they were tied up in rights for. A long time. Dion But yeah, I mean. Look, it’s fine. We’re just going to ignore the rest of those fan 4 test. Stick, whatever it is. Quinny Can’t ignore them. Dion We have to stick, then forget stick. That’s what I. Yeah, we’re gonna ignore that. Quinny Not. The autistic fans. Dion We’re going to, we’re going to ignore that. Michael B Jordan, he’s also Johnny Storm. Yes, I know, right. No, he’s not Killmonger. He’s definitely Johnny storm. We’re also going to ignore that Captain America. Quinny Ohh yeah yeah, he was one of them. Speaker Yeah. Jill Was also Johnny Storm and Captain America. Dion Was also. Stone. Yeah. Yes, exactly. We’re going to ignore all of those things and focus very. Speaker Yeah. Dion Much in Comic Daddy and his family and Pedro Pascal’s not not happy just being space Daddy, Apocalypse Daddy and General General Daddy. Jill Yeah. Thanks, daddy. Dion Now he’s also comic Daddy. Quinny Hmm. Speaker Yeah. Dion Yeah, along with. Quinny Is there anything he can’t, daddy? Dion You know what? Hollywood will not let him. Not daddy something. He’s in there now forever. Like. Yeah, he will just. He will just keep doing it until everyone collectively gets sick of him. And I’ll be able to return to an anonymity. Quinny Hmm. I just realized it is the summer of Pedro, it’s. Jill Summer picture. Dion Yeah. Speaker Been just realized. Dion Multiple summers. Quinny It was another ******* attempted Fantastic Four. Dion Oh. Have you? Yes, grey tailed. Quinny Well, technically. There was another Reed Richards. Ohh John Krasinski but that. Jill Yes. Yeah, that’s right. Dion That’s in Multiverse of Madness, which is so the. But that’s not the Fantastic Four. Quinny Yes, from. Marvel Universe. He’s one of the breeds. Jill He was. He’s Mr. fantastic. Dion Is he though? Jill Yes. Quinny He’s Mr. spaghetti by the end of. It but anyway. Dion Yeah, like I mean, yeah, that’s just on film, but it it, it wasn’t the Fantastic Four and this is what we want to focus on. It’s about these group of people and. How they’re represented in cinema? Yeah. What you’re not. Jill Capturing in the audio is our eye rolls. Quinny Massive massive eye roll. Dion Come on. Quinny Beyond wiping away John Krasinski from the from the entire multiverse of of anything, and we’re all going. No, no, no. Jill Yeah, that’s because they don’t. Can’t do a convincing cosplay of John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic. You can only do the Pedro. Dion No, I cannot. Jill Dion Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and if you squint, the Ian Crawford one. Speaker 6 You’re clean shaven for that one. Quinny I’ve just had an eye. Yeah, my eyes are not that ******* blind. Dion OK, then fine. I’ll go with this one if this. If he’s part of the Fantastic Four Canon, you need to cast the other three members of the Fantastic Four in those universes. Who is it going? Jill That’s true. OK. Oh my God. Yeah. Can we come back to this at the? Dion No immediate. OK. We’ll give you time. Time. Yeah, time. Jill End of the show. We’ll be here for 15. Dion Minutes. Yeah. Yeah. So if if if John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic and chat go and throw some something we. Quinny Man. Need to sleep? Yeah. Speaker 6 ******* Emily Blunt. I would go. Emily Blunt force. Jill Storm. Quinny **** yeah. Yep, Yep. You down to? Dion That yeah, Karina, just like gonna get to the. Synopsis yet guys. Speaker Yeah. Peta You know, keep getting pushed. Speaker Push. Speaker 6 Push by the chat. Let’s go. Speaker 2 Yeah, that’s a wow. Quinny I’m being bullied by the test. Peta This film about. Quinny What is this film about it? No, I’m not gonna. I’m not gonna do the synopsis now because I’ve been told. I have to. Jill No. Ohh yes. Speaker 6 Jesus. Dion Christ. Jill That sounds like me energy. Dion Peta Settling into that demand avoidance there. Dion Come on. Tony, have you got? Have you got some synopsis? Peta Yeah. Quinny For us it is. I have got a. Synopsis for everyone but Karina. Peta To be fair to Karina, it’s been 20 minutes. Jill Can you do it in a Brooklyn accent? OK. Speaker 3 Forced ohh. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space God called Galactus and his enigmatic herald the Silver Surfer. And guess what? It’s clubber and die this. Quinny Ohh, cool, that’s it. That’s the whole book. Was an opposite. Trust me, there was an even shorter one. Speaker Is that it? Speaker 6 Yeah. Wow. Dion I love sofas, yeah. Speaker 6 Silvers, soyfer yeah, soyfer. Dion Some some more continents and vowels in there that I remember from. Speaker 3 Hey, I’m going down the street and I’m going to start some some flights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dion Yeah, that’s about it. Quinny Hey, get that man some cookies. Thank you. I. Dion Would love some cookies. That’s kind of what the movie is about and I’m, I’m I’m with it like this isn’t one of those films that you went and saw and you’re like, oh, great, we get to have an origin story of how did they get their powers, how did. They do this like how do we go through that? They were like, no, you know what? Quinny Ohh thank God. Jill Yes, we just got a tidy. Little vignette, and that’s all we needed. Dion Yep. Quite a long vignette really explaining like how they fit into the world and how suddenly the the brokers of World Peace and everyone looks up to them and they’re the world’s family. Quinny Yep. Jill Yeah, I kind of love it. Dion I mean, OK. Jill They’re. They’re paragons. Quinny Yeah. And we, the the important thing to note is that we’re in a different world here we are in. We’re not in the regular Marvel Universe. We are in a weird kind of quasi 60s future pop, yeah, different reality. Speaker Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 It’s. Dion It’s 60s futurism, so it’s just it’s there’s a divergent. Speaker Hmm. Dion From our history to where it has ended up in this Earth history, and I’m I dig it, I dig the style, imagine in the 60s if four people got shot into space and came back and had all these powers and solved a bunch of problems. Speaker Hmm. Dion And a bunch of other things happen. That’s how that kind of goes. It’s like, yeah, well, you know. Quinny Yeah. And the difference. Speaker I mean. Quinny Not actually stated what year this is, is it? Dion No, no, it’s just the different earth. Quinny Yeah, right. Dion And what that is. But people don’t have. Jill Yeah, it could be current day 2. 616 Earth we don’t. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Jill Know that’s just what this earth. Dion Yeah. Looks like there’s big. There’s big kind of LED screens, but no cell phones. Speaker Slide. Peta Yep, well, it’s kind of like they’ve kind of gone. We don’t need to put energy into making TV screens flat. We’ll just have giant non flat TV screens and faster than light space travel. Yeah, yes. But we’re gonna do with that extra energy. Dion There’s there’s like. Quinny No. Dion You know. Yeah. Peta We don’t need to put energy into like inventing MP threes. We’ll just keep records. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And teleporting. Dion Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Peta Think of what we could have done as humanity. Quinny I didn’t know. Dion Exactly all of our computerisation goes on tape. Jill Yeah, I mean. Yeah, we invented cassettes and then CD’s and then digital format music. And now we’re back to ******* records again. Quinny So yeah, but they just didn’t bother leaving the the records. Yeah, because they realized it was the the superior format from the start, especially if you print them in. Dion Yes. Gold. And if you haven’t got a troop of players in your lounge room. You know, yeah. Eventually we’ll get to there, won’t we, like? Oh, this is my 9 musicians that follow me around and. Play music to me. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Yeah. I mean, yeah. Karina and Casper both kind of make the point. It’s very jetsons. Dion Yeah. And that’s kind of great because that’s very familiar to the people who knew fantastic for for when they were growing up based on the cartoon, which is the the sort of. Peta So jetsons. Dion The carry over of where people would sit from the Saturday morning kind of cartoon and. You know it it it sets the tone that everyone could easily get into and I went, I’m here. I immediately know what’s going on. It has a different Marvel logo, it has a different kind of a soundtrack. It’s setting itself in a in a particular period and I was like, I’ll go with this. This is totally different to every ******* thing else. This isn’t a dark and gritty reboot. This isn’t. Anything really to do with the rest of the Marvel Universe? Yeah, kinda. Which makes me happy. And I was like, I’ll go with this. I’m immediately just going to be like, all right, what do you got? Jill Yeah. I think the thing that’s so immersive about it is the visual language that they’ve lent into so strongly and so thoroughly like the the set design and production. All the set pieces, the costumes, everything like that was like. Beautiful, like there was such attention to detail and there was not like a wasted moment on screen. It was so interesting that we’re talking about like, how like futuristic retro it is but. Like the. Costuming wasn’t futuristic. That was still like grounded in 60s fashion. Speaker Hmm yeah. Dion I had a really good time just watching the sets and the costumes. I was like they have actually paid a lot of detail to the costuming, not only of the signature folk, but the people around them too. Looked sharp as ****, I gotta say. Quinny And. Jill Yeah, like the the space suits and their hero suits were were still like. Grounded within like that 60s, like retro futuristic style, but had like the the strong 60s fashion elements as well in terms of like the textures of the fabrics and things that they used but the the colour theory throughout was fantastic and yeah just the the visual language that they. Used in this film was just so Cohen. Peta It’s a joy for. The arts, hmm. Dion Joy for the eyes until we get to the failure of the film. Quinny Wow. Jesus. OK, so, so just a reminder folks, the deal also sat through Superman and huffed. Speaker Go further on. Dion I did. I did half. He did half I wanna also. Caveat that I did see Fantastic Four, but beforehand I had. Speaker 6 So. Dion To watch. Beforehand I had to win. The Avatar trailer 17 times. I don’t. I don’t know how to explain that in terms of everything else, but I had to sit through the Avatar trailer. Too many ******* times, and that may have influenced my decision. And how I enjoyed that film slightly too many times. Jill Anyway, yeah, it’s almost like they strapped you to that chair and made you watch them 17 times. Dion They kind of did. Yeah. You know, because you know, as we all know, in those kind of cinema things, the seats are gold. And if you leave one, you’re done. It’s going coming back but anyway. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion OK, enough of that. Fantastic for what? What are your first four impressions? Quinny I just wanna know why you’re getting ready to throw it. Speaker 2 Hello. Quinny Under the bus. To you ohh. Speaker 2 No, no. Quinny Like there have been a couple of times that you’ve already kind of started. Coming out of. Swinging. I wanna know why the big. Speaker There is. Dion Rubber punches out. Well, first, I mean, we all hate John Krasinski. And. No, I’m just joking. That’s. Three just threw that out there for. Peta Come on for John Krasinski. And he’s not like. Jill He can’t even defend himself. Quinny He’s such a nice guy. Everybody talking. Dion About, I’m talking about how effusively I love the costuming, the design, the aesthetic, the way that it just kind of moves the story along really, really quickly. It throws in some amazing nods and references to the historical stuff, like there’s covers of famous Fantastic Four issues thrown in very quickly. I know you’ve got. Quinny Oh my God, that made me so happy. Dion Classic villains like Mole Man and the Red Ghost. Yeah. Ish red. Red ghost off. Speaker 3 Well, sort of. Dion Like all of that stuff is kind of great. Herbie is amazing. The fantastic car, which I think often gets ignored. Quinny Yeah. Jill Uh-huh. Dion In, in a lot of, this is part of the fun about the Fantastic Four is all of the bits and pieces that Reed comes up with. That’s all kind of themed Herbie, as I said. Yeah. And he was. Quinny Great. OK. Does everybody know the history of why Herbie exists? Jill No. Quinny OK, this is my my favorite stupid piece of ******* history. So in the 60s, when the Fantastic Four was being turned into a cartoon, they went OK we’re going to do the Fantastic Four and the standards people of America went hang on. One of the characters is on fire. Speaker Tell. Quinny We can’t have a children’s TV show where the children want to emulate the heroes and have a character be on fire. Why not so? In the 60s cartoon of Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm is removed entirely and is replaced by Herbie. This is where Herbie came from. Wow. Speaker Oh. Yeah. Quinny So the fact that, like the fact that he’s in the movie is ******* hilarious. But his history is even better. Jill That’s wild. Quinny And I’m pretty sure he actually talked in the animated series, but yeah, and didn’t just make bleeps and. Speaker 6 Wheels. I like the Droid vibe it was. Dion Didn’t. Yeah, it didn’t sound like. Yeah, it didn’t sound like a 60s frickin B. Speaker Yeah. Dion I just. I just remembered something. Thing when we get this Sue storm into the proper Marvel Universe, she’s going to have to come up against Namor, yes. Quinny Hmm. Dion And and that’s a lot of that’s a that’s a whole. Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops thing going to happen right there anyway. That’s right. Jill That’s something we can work on. Dion Later. Yeah, there’s a lot of smart in that one anyway, yeah. Speaker Yes. Quinny And apparently on on the set all the time, Vanessa Kirby is like, So what? What’s going on with Namal? Pedro’s like, for ***** sake, right? Dion Here she knows what’s going on. She gets all the cast members. Quinny Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion Yeah. Look, I. Had a great time with it, like, you know, really good introductions to quick introductions to characters. Everyone got a little bit of ability to show who they were as characters very rapidly. Like, you didn’t have to pay to. Much there, but I also really appreciated how much they felt like a family and they felt caring and it was showing them in a particular way, which it wasn’t like, oh, these are conflicted people. They don’t know how to, you know, where’s the drama? I mean, the drama isn’t in the family. The drama is external forces. And I think they got that really well because there was a really cool vibe to sort of be like ohh this is, this is cool kind of family like like I I would take children to watch it and be like see, this is how you’re nice to each other. You don’t have to hit each other. You know. Quinny Don’t set each other on fire. Dion Don’t set each other on fire. Try stop working so hard. Quinny Pete Jew talk to me. Jill Oh my God. Ohh feels like so long ago but it was only Friday. Dion Four days ago that you saw it. Jill Ohh my goodness, I really liked the film. I had a good time. I saw it well. I mean, all the things that I said about the costume and set design and all that stuff was just fabulous. I thought like the story pacing was good. Like they they got to the point and they, you know they executed ABC. You know, here’s what’s happening. Here’s our problem. And here’s how we overcome. It, like they did that. UM. I thought the action bats were good. But again, I’m just not getting my **** blown off. Guys. The jet film. We’re back to the **** rating scale. OK0 **** means it was ******* amazing because they blew them both off, but two **** is bad because it doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the movie. Quinny Back to. Rating system. Jill It just didn’t **** **. Way and it made me start to think that there was something wrong with me. Like am I not finding enjoyment out of these movies anymore? Like is it becoming passe? Is it like over saturation? Like what’s the issue? I think what the issue is is that too many movies. Are just safe. They’re in a safe zone. They do what they do on the box and they do no more than that. Speaker Hmm. Jill I’m not getting any like thrill, danger, excitement from these movies anymore. It feels really middle of the road and pedestrian and that’s not to say that Fantastic Four was a bad movie. It was a good movie because it did its job, but it didn’t go above and beyond. And become an exceptional film. And I just, I feel that way about Superman as well. That was not exceptional to me, and it just kind of feels like every time we go and see a big blockbuster, I come out like feeling it was it was middling level. Speaker Yes. Quinny I agree, but I want to keep Pete’s. Take on it? Sure. Peta I think it’s very well constructed, beautifully made. Film, I mean, we’ve talked about the production design and the look of it already, which is great. You know, we’ve talked about the the structure which is logical and probably better constructed than Superman. And and I do think it’s funny that I’ve kind of liked the exposition. Free tool here that I hated so much and electric state, same tool, different vibe. It’s it’s easy to get into and you want it to be because there are some plot points that that, that require a very high level of suspension of disbelief. Even for a comic book movie, you know, usually I I I I try to give the the Budweiser and the ********* like. A bit of a break in in certain genres, but I struggled a bit with a couple of the plot points that very much drove some parts of the story. Because it was a bit wibbly wobbly. Sciency want see? Yes. Yeah, like, don’t. Jill Get into the proton stream, but get into the proton stream, yeah. Dion Yeah, you’re Superman. Peta That was and, and I think the issue is I I I get I I have a tendency to get a little bit distracted if I can’t. If that suspension of disbelief gets interrupted, and I think that these particular plot points were distracting enough that even though I was enjoying the film, I still. Got kind of. Kicked out of this story a. Little bit by thinking? Yeah, but Nah. Quinny Are these things that need to be talked about in spoilery territory or? Peta Ohh, everything needs to be talked about in spoiler territory. It’s it’s just and if they weren’t plotted drivers. Dion OK, alright, fair enough. Peta It would have felt a little bit different as well, but it it did kind of feel like as well constructed and entertaining and beautiful as the film is. I kind of agree with Jill that you kind of I didn’t personally come out of the end of it going like. **** yeah. Amazing superhero film. It was just kind of like, ohh, that was like really well constructed and good looking and entertaining. And yeah, Pedro. Quinny I I have, I agree very much with with everything you guys have said. My biggest problem with it is that. The movie didn’t have its next gear up like all the way through it puddled along at an enjoyable kind of pace. It was doing what was needed, you know, things were kind of getting, you know, you had your action beats and stuff like that. But then when you get to your climax. It doesn’t have the next gear, it can’t shift it back a cog. And really. Go ****. Let’s go. It didn’t have that it, you know, the the climax I kind of was like and oh, OK, right. We’re done. ****. OK. Huh. And that’s. Kind of implementing of the whole film that it’s really well made as as we’ve all said, well made, well shot, lovely costumes, lovely everything. Jill Great performances, everybody was on their a game. Quinny But nothing that made me go ****. That was a moment. Like, you know, there was nothing. There was no moment like. Speaker Yeah. Quinny The thors hammer. With that, America, there was no kind of really emotional beat of. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Vision saying you know that love is just pain. You know, whatever. I can’t even remember the quote. But you know those those those really like deep seated moments that make you go ohh. That got me right in the heart. Speaker Hmm. Peta Which Thunderbolts did for me, and that, you know, I. I guess if if if you’re going to hold it up against superhero films we’ve seen this year from a. Speaker Hmm. Peta Is it a good movie? Speaker Hmm. Peta Mm-hmm. You know, well-rounded perspective, I would still put Thunderbolts ahead of this, regardless of how beautifully. Thought out the world was. Quinny Yeah, like there, there were lovely moments and their lovely ideas. I love the idea of the whole world pulling together to go **** we’ve got. Eight months to build something or, you know, and we’re all going to pull in this together and we’re all going to come together over something. It’s a great concept, but it just never felt like it had those that, that personal danger of what we saw in Thunderbolt and. A lot of people who are doing the, which one did you like more, Superman or or fantastic? 4. I personally thought the Superman took more risks. You know, it was weirder. It was. Peta Well, it was more. It was more current in in its messaging and the. The risks that it. Was taking in that messaging as well, and I think also you kind of. Dion Hmm. Peta This is a bit of an imbalance, I suppose in the rate that one escalates because you can kind of attempt to escalate the stakes to the highest possible point and the escalate them so high that the audience cannot believe. That. That jeopardy is going to come to pass in that context, which actually, which actually kind of destroys that moment, is kind of gotta be like a believable, worst case scenario that they’re facing. Not like, well, of course, they’re trying to find a way to avert that. There’s gonna be a little part of you that’s like. Quinny Hmm. Peta Ohh, they might fail, which I kind. Speaker Hmm. Peta Of felt in this. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like. Peta Otherwise, you don’t feel the jeopardy, you know, the way that you should. Speaker Hmm. Quinny Yeah, and and I don’t know, I feel like something like Superman has has more of a an alter kind of vision behind it. Like, you know, that felt like James Gunn saying something and his whole thing about found family and his whole thing about being outsiders and, you know, he. He has a particular thumbprint that is all over that. This one I couldn’t tell you. A thumbprint it was. Peta Which is funny because it is tonally and structurally much more consistent. Quinny Absolutely. Jill Yeah, it’s a. Package. Yeah, it has an aesthetic and it, you know, executes that, but yeah. Quinny Yeah. And and like. Jill There’s there’s special sauce. Quinny Yeah. And and I don’t. Know what it is because. I was wanting to get excited. I was super wanting to get excited and it just never quite hit me. And even when big things happened, I was like. Jill Karina made a good point that she thought we were going to see them fail. Based on what we saw in the post credit scene of Thunderbolts and I want to make a point where I kind of wish that that scene never existed because it coloured my expectations. Speaker Hmm. Jill This film I was going in. Quinny Yes, I’m. Peta I forget what that scene. Jill Was ohh that’s actually it was it was there. There was like ohh we can. We’re picking up something on our radar and then they zoom into space and they see the Fantastic Four ships flying through space and that bit. Yeah. Yeah. So I had a different expectation of what I was expecting in this film. And so I’m like. Speaker 6 It’s just. Dion Just a a rocket ship in the sky. Kind of, or if it is, we don’t know. Jill Just on the edge of my seat the whole time, thinking. Well, how are they gonna get to our earth? When are we gonna see that? When are we gonna see that? And. And I’m like, so I wasn’t in the moment with everything else that was happening because I was anticipating something else to. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. And and maybe that’s that, that other cog that. Speaker Happen. Quinny I was expecting. Maybe that’s the the the next thing up is that you know, they do like, fail or they do something that that then took it to a different level. Speaker Yeah. Jill That causes them to and then this is how we get to this moment. But like now that we’re not going to have The Avengers doomsday film until another 18 months. Quinny Jill I’m like, wow, how are they going to get our butts in the seats for that one? Quinny Yeah. Jill Because after watching this movie, I’m like. Ah, I don’t really know where we’re going. Quinny Neller. Peta At the end, do you feel safe now with your opinion to share? Dion I mean, my opinion is based on Fantastic Four and how I enjoyed this movie or didn’t. Quinny Which is a really difficult thing to do to to take the movie entirely on its own. Yeah, been its own value and. Speaker 2 What? Quinny So aside from my expectation, aside from the other movie I watched a week and a half before, yeah, aside from. Dion Yeah. Quinny All of that, yeah. Dion Look there. This is the thing. Like I I really like to to throw this through. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts because it broke expectations that I had. I was there for it to say, what are you gonna do with this? And I was. Like wow, that is a great movie. I had certain expectations about Superman or I was wondering what was going to go, and I felt it wasn’t as good as I thought. It’s going. And I went to Fantastic Four. Saying how is this going to go? And I thought, yeah, I had a little bit of the same thing the the ending. Thing towards the end and some of the reasoning and stuff I was a bit like oh, this doesn’t make sense and I don’t understand where it does or doesn’t fit and I feel like they’re going to have to for some reason do another one in that universe for some reason. And I’m just a bit confused. I feel like it just kind of didn’t. You’re right, had that. Where’s that gear? Where’s the gear? Range. Where does it go up? Where do the stakes get bigger? Where does it become really important? But really I liked it because it. Was you can see across the entire movie from start to finish. It was a love letter to the time of the original Fantastic Four. Like all of the Kirby, all of the weird stories are just written into it. So it is made with a lot of reverence and a lot of love. And I really liked that because there was good messaging that was in there. Speaker Hmm. Dion The execution or some of the reasoning is just I don’t know how this fits. In the rest, like I love that it’s an outsider film, but I also don’t then. But what’s are we are we going to follow these people? Is that the point or is it just having a second one? Like I don’t. Know like it’s another Fantastic Four is like. Quinny Yeah. Dion Will we see him? Jill Yeah. Are we making this movie just to make a sequel? Just so we can make? Money. Quinny Yeah. Well, or are we making this one just because we needed to have a really good bad guy for the MCU. We’ve already announced who that bad guy. So we really had to have this film before doomsday could happen. Jill Yeah. There’s a lot of very upset people in. Our screening at the end of this movie. Quinny Yeah, yeah, there was. Dion Yeah, Speaking of bad guys, how do we feel about the villain aspects of this one? Speaker Hmm. Jill I was curious to how I would ever see Galactus executed on film, and I think it. Up to a point, it was well done. Dion Is it? Is it better than the giant cloud? Speaker 6 Ohh yeah, we don’t need. Dion So the. Jill Some amorphous cloud like I want to see an actual Galactus and like how? Dion So. Jill Do you do? That I mean, especially after we had the Eternals where, you know, we have things God like beings in space, it’s like, OK, well now how do we make a Galactus? Speaker Hmm. Jill That was really cool, but then there was a moment where I thought it was. Not cool. Maybe I’ll talk about that in sport. Dion How? How did you feel about Charlotte Owl? Jill I thought it was sick. I’m like, yeah, let’s go back to the original Silver Surfer. Yeah. People will be surprised to know the original Silver Surfer was not a dude. Quinny I I knew that Michelle label was an alternate, but I didn’t realize that. Jill I think the original Silver Surfer was a woman, and then it was her lover that begged Galactus to trade places with her. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Entry. Dion Interesting, yeah. Jill And disappointed we didn’t get the what if Aunt May was the Herald for Galactus and we didn’t get the golden oldie. Dion What are you talking about? Marisa? To me, isn’t that old? Quinny I I think. Speaker 3 No. Quinny I think there were there were sequences in there watching the the Silver Surfer surfing through. Speaker Ohh. Quinny Like Kirby Crackle, ******* cosmic power surfing through black holes where I was like, **** yeah, this is cool. You know, surfing around curving laser beams and ****. I was like. Dion Well, grab. Yeah. Speaker 3 Yes. Dion ******* hell yeah, that’s that’s the weird success stuff. That was the bitter. Speaker Hmm. Dion Was like, oh, this is great. Like, how do you put the Silver Surfer in? Why does it doesn’t even make sense. And it’s like, yeah, it does. If you lean into that. Crazy kind of 60s vibe that it originally was about. It’s like, yeah, I’m just gonna surf, like, through cosmic waves, man, it’s. Like. Cool. That’s fun. Yeah, it helps if you take LSD. Quinny Hmm. Speaker Yeah. Dion You know. Quinny Like there was something so ******* cool with all of that visual stuff. Yeah, that up until now, we’ve never really gotten because the only other time we’re seeing the Silver Surfer, he was on Earth, so it didn’t have that real cosmic kind of. Dion Maybe. He was the T1000 man. Jill Thing, yeah. Speaker Hmm. Dion He just kind. Of morphed around as needed for the plot. Quinny Your thoughts on on the Silver Surfer? Peta Neutral. Cool. I I don’t have a lot of feelings about the Silver Surfer as a character, but I thought she was. I thought it it was cool execution. Dion Yeah. Quinny Hmm. Yeah, look cool. And I like the the human eyes too. I thought that was kind of cool. Yeah, cause you I feel like you still need something to latch onto for a motion, yeah. Speaker Mm-hmm. Quinny I thought that was smart. Speaker And. Look, there’s look. Dion There’s lots of fun stuff in there. Standouts for me. I I I need to say I really annoyed that they didn’t rename it the fantastic six because to be honest, there are 6 characters in this movie. By the end of it, you’re watching it like there’s not just four, there’s more. Who you’re following through with, which was a bit of a surprise because I was like, OK, right. You’re just going to lean very heavily into the entire thing. Sure. I really. Kirby, I love that they went into galactic space because that’s kind of that’s that kind of that’s really fun. Like Reed Richards is that kind of character who, you know, is your prototypical 50s, you know, American Americanized painting, you know, of, like, it’s a pipe and slippers and, you know. Dad’s home. Jill Yeah. The Norman Rockwell. Yes. Please looking forward. Dion Yeah, absolutely. 100% The Rockwell and it it. But presented in that very conservative way, but he’s not a conservative. Like you know, it’s kind of like I’m just going to learn how to fold matter and bend this, and then we’re going to space. All right, everyone, safety third. Let’s go. That’s kind of Reed riches. Like he built a thing called the Ultimate Nullifier. And it kills anything in the known Marvel Universe. And then he’s just like ohh someone. Quinny He’s. Dion Like. Speaker Like. Dion ******** Reed, you know like. Quinny One thing you you said to me afterwards too. Jill Yeah, I mean. He just casually solved teleportation in this. Dion Yeah, yeah. Jill Film or whatever. Quinny Whatever. Whatever one thing you said to me too, and I agreed like they’ve always struggled to get Reed Richards powers looking good on screen. Like it’s very hard to do stretchy guy without it looking dumb, but one of the things that is kind of sad is that in the. Dion Yes. Quinny The comics and everything. Quite often you’ll see him, and that stretchiness of his body is a. Is. A all about echoing who he’s mentally. Yeah. So his arms are over here. You know, riding on the blackboard and his other arms over here, smoking a pipe and his head is, you know, stretched out over here, looking at the, you know, out the window or something like that. And there wasn’t much of that. It was very much like, this is traditionally handsome Pedro. Peta Yeah. Jill It’s it’s tiny. Yeah, it’s a tiny bit like he was doing. A little bit of the blackboard. Stuff and the catching things, but. Speaker 6 Yeah, I don’t. Jill I don’t think we really got to see him actually use his powers much in the film as a whole. Quinny Nope. Nope. Dion It’s very, very expensive to animate Pedro Pascal. Peta It’s it’s a dump power. Speaker 3 Pete. Pete, in there, it’s true. Jill I mean, it might be a time you. Would change your mind. Speaker Yeah. Speaker 3 Blubbering time, no. Quinny Should we rate it because we are, we’re going on a. Peta Yes, yes. Quinny Long time. Ohh good. Jill Oh my goodness. I don’t know. I’m gonna pick a number. Dion How many tips off Jim? Speaker 6 Yeah, the tip scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jill Yeah. The two tip film, but. Quinny I mean, I’m gonna. I will change the rating system if I have to, but it’s gonna really. Dion I had some I had some issues with it, but I did enjoy. I had a fun time. I’m gonna give it a 75. No 70. I’m gonna go 70. Sorry. I’m. I’m back down a little bit mainly because I really loved. Quinny On the website. Dion The scenic I love the the the characters together. They didn’t quite mesh as much and I felt like some of them were lost like I think Ben Grimm’s the thing. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion Totally kind of lost in the hole as much to do. No, I I didn’t get enough of that thing because one of the most important things I know about Ben Grimace, he’s the real heart of the team. And while that was great, like I loved, you know, uncles, you’ve got uncles going on there. I loved it. You know, Johnny and and Ben are totally down for, you know, being uncles. I just thought he got a little bit lost and I have big issues with some of the purple headed warrior of the lactose, which I’ll talk about in spoilers, but yeah, overall fun time. Not a long time. Quinny Fair enough, Pete. Number. Peta I’m going to say I’m going to say I’m going to say 76 because I do think that it was. Really well put together but. The the I mean I’ll have some stuff to say when we spoil some things. Yeah, I’ll try to keep it brief. Actually, there was one point I think I said to you guys that I’d nearly walked out of there with more tips. Than I started with. Quinny I’m still wanting to know how that works. Peta Luckily, luckily I I didn’t have to go full rage out on it. Quinny So I’m very impressed. Peta Umm. But yeah, it’s just those kinds of like those those plot points that that just didn’t quite work for me were just a little bit kind of too conveniently driving the plot. And I didn’t quite buy even in the world of the story, that really kind of helped me back from from. Losing any tips at all? Quinny So so number of tips is 2. Hmm but. Peta Ohh, also the young Kelly’s Uncanny Valley baby was distressed. Quinny Though apparently that they had a live baby on set 99% of the time. Peta In some shots, I was gonna say you, but you can tell the. Shots that aren’t, yeah. Dion Yeah, yeah. Babies don’t look like babies on screen. You gotta pay. They yeah. Peta I mean, either it was a fully uncanny valley baby or they were doing something to kind of make the baby look like it was looking, but there was something. Yeah. And whenever whenever Ben Grimm’s holding the baby, it’s like. That ain’t no real. Jill Baby, what number did you give it, Pete, 7676. Dion Yeah, we all know. Quinny And Dion, still at 70, isn’t. Dion He. Yes, I’m still there. Quinny Yeah, Dan, how many tips have you got left by? Dion The way? Yeah, just one tip. Quinny Wanted. Jill Only go off 1. Dion I only want it. Yeah, I mean, well. I mean, I don’t know. It’s moved. Maybe the **** moved like it. It’s not in the same place it started out, but it hasn’t gone completely off. It’s around the side visiting the armpit. Jill You can’t. But I gave Superman. Quinny I can probably look it up if you want. Jill Yeah. Peta See, I just kind of take it on a mood basis. It’s on a day by day basis. Dion Briefly. Quinny Hmm. Dion Phil was right. I mean, I think. One of the telling things long rated. Peta Never compare my ratings for one movie to another movie. Quinny Superman 65. Speaker Oh. Dion While while Jill is thinking, I mean it’s fair enough. Remember, she only saw it like 4 days ago and it feels like. Jill OK, here’s the weird thing though. Like after I watched Superman, I kind of wanted to see it again, but I don’t know if that was to try and enjoy it more or like to get the things that I didn’t really get about it. But this one I’m not really like in a rush to go back. To the movie for it. Quinny Hmm. Jill But. I did like it more than Superman. Then. I think I’m going to give it. 69. Speaker 3 Nice. Dion Nice. Jill It was just a nice movie. Quinny Yeah, 69 and still 2 tips. Peta Yeah. Dion Quinny, what have you. Quinny Yeah. Got. I’m very similar to you know, I’m I’m probably I’m probably more in line with the pizza like. Yeah, 70. I’m going to go 77. I don’t know why. Yeah. Actually. Peta Just feels like a 77. Speaker Vibe. Quinny Like I I was a bit more warm on Superman whereas this. Like it’s it’s a perfectly fun, pleasant film. Like there’s nothing wrong with it, but it also just to me, felt like it. Was. Didn’t have much, particularly to say. Other than you know, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all work together and yeah. But also, maybe that’s what we needed at the moment is something that wasn’t too dangerous or whatever and. I don’t know. Yeah, it’s it’s 77 for me, but I just find it so. Dion Weird. We’ve, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve focused a lot on the non spoilery side and we’re running rapidly running out of time. So let’s go to the dinner clip to find out why they’re all such a nice blending together, then come back and see how much we. Can jam pack into spoil it section? Peta Leave if you haven’t seen it, because I’m going to spoil the very, very, very end of the film. Speaker Dion Pete is thrown down. Here you go, alright? Speaker 5 What are you doing? You mean what am? I. Doing and then you’re gonna ruin your appetite. I’m hungry, but never late for Sunday dinner. Should we wait? Speaker I guess you’re late. What I what do you? Speaker 5 Mean. What do you mean? What do I mean? Speaker You’re late for dinner. Ohh yes we are. We’re late for. By single minute. Speaker 5 Dinner. Yes, we were just just had to. Speaker Some aloe iodine on my shoulder. We got. Do his shoulder and. Speaker 5 Why is that breakfast cereal in the dinner table? Why are you being? Speaker Weird. Not not being. Acting. Weird. Well, I’m doing that weird thing with your face, so. Oh, we don’t know what you’re talking about. Speaker 5 Are you pregnant? Speaker Jimmy at the pregnant. Speaker 5 Yes, yes. Speaker You know, I know he just cannot. Speaker 1 That have you looked at your husband’s face? Speaker Keep his secret. Speaker 5 What, really, yeah. Speaker 2 What you are going to be the best mom? Oh, my God. Speaker And you are going. To be the best dad. Just kidding. You are out of your depth, but we. We’re going to be the best uncles ever. OK, we should eat. Dion Oh, there you go. Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing that we loved about the film. It’s really nice. Spoiler logos up, Pete. Destroy away. Oh, wait. Sorry. She has been there at the beginning. She will be there at the end. We here. Peter. Quinny ETA. Peta It’s not even my biggest complaint. It’s just that there was a moment at the end where I was like, I am going to have to have another full on rant about killing off female characters via self sacrifice and doing it to two female characters in one scene. UM. Quinny Thank God. Peta They recovered. They did recover. They recovered from it a bit and it didn’t really feel like it wasn’t going to recover. But for a moment there I was like, oh, oh, we are going to throw down. Jill I don’t believe you didn’t realise the magic baby was gonna save the day. Speaker 3 Sacrifice. Peta I did. It did, but there was a part of me that was kind of like you better ******* not. Dion Yeah, yeah, there was a little bit of that was it? It’s like, don’t you ******* dare? Jesus Christ, he’s not a. Defibrillator. He’s a baby. Jill I mean, you don’t have a. Magic mcguffin. The whole time and then not? Yeah. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion True, although, but as as we all. Peta My biggest my my bigger complaints. Dion Know Franklin Richards. The monster. Peta My bigger complaints were were the iffy plot points like I’m like, correct me. I’m not a linguist, but I’m pretty sure you cannot translate an entire language with three words like I don’t. I don’t know that that’s possible. The Rosetta Stone had more than than than 3 words. Speaker 3 Yeah. Hmm. Dion Now. Peta I I don’t see how I don’t see how. Dion Important to understand that this is in the Universe 8 to 8 where things can exist a little differently and they are not this bog standard and it was one of those. Peta Oh. Speaker 6 But it’s it’s. Jill Things are like super. Peta It’s not the kind of plot point that you can explain away in your brain with that kind of reasoning like it’s not, but. Dion It has to be because that’s why I was. I was ******** about it and I yelled at Quinney until it came up to the thing. It’s like, but it’s not the real Galactus. And I’m like. Oh yeah, **** everything in this movie is not the real one from our universe. What? I’m getting angry at can easily be retconned by an executive who doesn’t like the feedback form. Speaker Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Jill But this is also a universe where Reed is a super genius that can solve teleportation and like, move a planet. That’s. Speaker Hmm. Peta It just like the jump between ohh, I’ve managed to do it to an egg. Jill Come on. Peta Let’s do it to a planet. Nothing will go wrong. I actually, I almost thought that, like, that’s where it was gonna get interesting. Like, that was gonna be this universe is snap moment when they, like, accidentally. Left half the people behind or something. Quinny That that’s what I that’s. What I was kinda hoping for like. Jill Yeah, there weren’t really many stakes. Quinny No, I ******* love the idea of them actually going *******. We’re gonna teleport the whole planet and. Dion And ******* it. Quinny Up what? Could something goes wrong like they they go to the wrong place or they find themselves in the ******* negative zone. Jill Like that ******* DC convergence where the two planets had to merge together. Peta Or and that’s the thing. Dion They do. How did they do faster than life travel, but. Not work out how radar. Exists stop the fact that Silver Surfer was coming to blow up all of their teleportation machines that that shaped. Quinny Me. She’s very fast. Peta And in your hand it just kind of looked like a regular size spaceship. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just muted it or something like it’s like felt like a lot of like ohh The thing is coming very slowly. This is the only thing we can think of. Dion That was my big ***** point that I will get my big boy britches on and have a whinge about. Galactus’s ******* world eating ship is just a giant space grinder and. And I didn’t like that because if you’re gonna go to, like the extent that they went to, which was really curvy, whole super 60s kind of thing. Speaker Right. Dion Make the spaceship ******* weird. Make it the giant machines that don’t. You don’t understand the purpose of what they do like. Have something that’s in there. Speaker 3 Hmm. Jill Yeah. What happened to like the? Big straw that he just shoves in the. Planet and like sucks it up like. Dion Yeah, all of that. But I mean, just like have the weird like, Kirby was great for drawing like. Contraptions that you love on the contraption, and they don’t. You don’t know why or how they work, or they have like extra bits that go off and they crackle with energy that you don’t understand how it sort of goes. He didn’t care about making it look well built. He cared about making something cool and stupid. And then they put Galactus. Fair enough, looked pretty good, you know, for a big. Quinny I look I. Liked big man collectors. I was down. Jill For that, yeah. I didn’t like how his. Height fluctuated with convenience. Peta Say he wasn’t that big in the end. Though was he he? He looked. Jill The lost, yeah. Dion A bit of juice out the back of the tube and then he got a bit. Quinny Maybe. Speaker 6 So then he went and shrunk a bit. Dion Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quinny OK, let’s go with that, yeah. Jill He’s like ohh, now he can fit in this big circle on the ground that he like, would have Godzilla crushed the moment ago. Dion Crush. Sure. Peta Confused if planet size or if Godzilla size. Dion Yeah. Also how would sue push if 2? Quinny Because her push is not based on size, it’s based on willpower. Dion No, but push, baby. Ohh no. OK, recover. Push, galactus. Big baby. Oh, no much. Peta Is is based on magic mummy power? Quinny Yeah, yes, yeah. Like that. That big kind of finale stuff. I was like when he started to climb back out. I was like, ohh. OK now. Dion No. Well. Quinny We’re gonna get some shoes. Jill Yeah, I was like. Oh ****, I jumped. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. I was like, ******* sweet. Great. OK, now we’re gonna really ******* now, now we’re gonna wrap it up, but Nope. That’s just that’s it. Cool. Everybody get home. I would love to have seen them do something real. ******* ballsy. I would have loved to have seen them lose the earth, you know? Yeah. So that that’s why this Fantastic Four, like instead of. Yeah, that’s the run like this. Jill On the run on the. Sleeper on. Peta I’m not sure that Marvel is doing its answer to the trolley problem properly. Quinny Why not teleport the ******* baby and the family to another end of the universe, or to a different ******* dimension or whatever? Jill Because they answered that in the slack with pocket holes does. Speaker Yeah. Yes. Dion I mean. I look I I I I really got that like I enjoyed the bit where they were like, no, this is it honestly. Like we we we may be the people that everyone looks up to on the Earth and that’s a bit problematic to put that much. Responsibility. On four people who were there, but at least they always did it with heart, honesty, integrity and overall admission of failure. To the world. Speaker Hmm. Dion
O senador Flávio Bolsonaro criticou a PGR após as alegações finais apresentadas pelo órgão no caso da trama golpista. “O PGR deve ter tomado altas doses de Diazepam, que causam confusão mental e alucinações. No nosso dicionário não existe a palavra medo, existe a palavra FÉ!A democracia foi sequestrada no Brasil e vamos lutar para resgatá-la!Isso está muito acima de Bolsonaro ou da direita. Diz respeito à liberdade e ao futuro do nosso Brasil!O remédio é forte e amargo, mas necessário para acabar com o câncer em metástase que atingiu os órgãos vitais da nossa Nação!‘Na há remédio eficaz no Brasil para cessar violações a Direitos Humanos.' (07/Ago/2016, Cristiano Zanin, advogado de lula).”A deputada Bia Kicis (PL), que, em 2019, fez elogios a Paulo Gonet, agora falou em “perseguição implacável” contra Jair Bolsonaro e aliados do ex-presidente.

In the latest episode of Unlocking Academia, Tarin Ahmed, the host, is joined by guest, William Jennings, a senior lecturer in French at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, and author of Dibia's World.: Life on an Early Sugar Plantation (Liverpool UP, 2023). William discusses the importance of names, voice and the community life of a hundred slaves on an early sugar plantation. Dibia's World follows the story of Dibia, an educated man in Africa, stolen across the sea and sold into slavery. He spent the rest of his life on a sugar plantation, where he worked with Agoüya, drank Aboré's rum, married Izabelle and had a son named Paul. This book tells the story of the community he lived in with a hundred others in a colonial outpost of the Caribbean. It depicts the everyday life of enslaved Africans and Native Americans in remarkable detail, showing their names, relationships, skills, health and interactions, as they contended with and resisted their enslavement. Most studies of plantation life examine well-established colonies in the century before abolition. This work provides a counterpoint by depicting the founding population of an African-American community in the early years of the industrial sugar plantation complex. Drawing on a planter's manuscript, shipping records, missionary accounts and seventeenth-century scraps of paper, Dibia's World will appeal to specialists as well as general readers interested in the early Atlantic world, Creole societies, slavery and African-American history.
