Woody Allen has called A Streetcar Named Desire the most well-directed film ever made and its influence on Blue Jasmine (2013) is unmistakable. Both concern a woman whose fantasy life and self-deception break down and both feature incredible performances by the lead actress: in Streetcar, it's Vivien Leigh and here it's Cate Blanchett. And if Streetcar is a high point of Eliza Kazan's filmography, Blue Jasmine is surely one of Allen's and perhaps the best of the subgenre Woody Allen Movies Without The Woody Allen Character. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Blue Jasmine is Allen's 44th film; his memoir, Apropos of Nothing, details how he became a writer and director of fifty films.

In 1828, a seventeen-year-old boy was found wandering the streets of Nuremberg, holding two letters and unable to say more than a few words. The locals adopted him as a kind of municipal mascot; eventually, they learned that he had been bound in darkness until his release and struggled to learn more about his past. Werner Herzog took the story as a basis for his 1974 film–not one of his trademark documentaries–and used it as a meditation on the human condition. It's an unforgettable experience, like seeing 2001 for the first time. Join us as we discuss the film's ideas, humor, and audacity. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. The German title of the film is Every Man for Himself and God Against All, which is also the title of Werner Herzog's 2024 memoir.

Larry Weber talks about the lower-than-average temps that have started the month and the various sights of spring
In Episode 186 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, are joined by a genuine industry legend, Jeff Hirsch, Editor-in-Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, now celebrating its 60th year. And yes, Jeff is also turning 60 this month.The conversation starts where May always takes us. "Sell in May and Go Away." Jeff immediately sets the record straight. It's not about selling everything on May 1. It's about repositioning, spring cleaning your portfolio, tightening stops, and getting ready for the historically weakest six months of the year. He walks through how MACD signals layered on seasonal patterns sharpen entries and exits, which sectors shine during the weak months, and why the Nasdaq's growing weight in the S&P 500 has stretched that weak window further into June.From there, the episode covers the Trump presidential cycle pattern, the sixth-year tailwinds, and how the midterm-year setup historically creates one of the best buying opportunities on the calendar. Jeff makes a candid near-term call on gold, makes the case for utilities and staples during the weak months, and explains why the mutual fund October 31 deadline is the true engine behind all of it.Oh, and Sonu's birthday is May 4. So officially: reposition on Sonu's birthday, go sober on Ryan's.Key Takeaways:"Sell in May" is widely misunderstood. The real strategy is repositioning, not abandoning the market entirely.Jeff uses MACD crossover signals layered on seasonal patterns to time entries (on or after October 1) and exits (on or after April 1 for the S&P 500, June 1 for Nasdaq).The Trump presidential cycle pattern, the sixth year of the decade, and the sixth year of the presidency all point toward a strong year. Jeff's target range is 8% to 12%, with 15% possible if geopolitical risks resolve.Utilities (XLU) and consumer staples are Jeff's preferred sector plays for the weak six months, with added tailwinds from data center electricity demand and dividends.Gold looks like a near-term top after a massive run. Jeff is watching for a seasonal re-entry opportunity in July or August.The real driver behind October seasonality is the mutual fund October 31 fiscal year-end deadline, which creates institutional churn, window dressing, and the conditions for the classic "bear killer" October bounce.Jump to:0:00 — Welcome and Meet Jeff Hirsch1:37 — Sell in May Reframed6:25 — MACD Signals and Seasonality10:55 — Sector Plays for the Weak Months14:55 — The Trump Cycle and Midterm Choppiness22:45 — Why Seasonal Patterns Exist35:05 — International Ideas and Cash Choices44:05 — Dead Indicators and the 401(k) Flow Shift50:10 — Gold, Grains, Options, and Calendar Quirks53:05 — Where to Follow Jeff and WrapConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enConnect with Jeff:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-hirsch-8285358/• X: https://x.com/AlmanacTrader?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Jordan Blanchard joins host Joe Jensen to break down government guaranteed lending and why programs like SBA and USDA can be major leverage tools in today's market. Jordan explains the core advantages: higher leverage than conventional loans (often 80 to 90%), the ability to lend on projected income (not just historical cash flow), and fully amortizing terms that can stretch to 25 years for USDA deals. He also clarifies a key distinction: SBA is generally owner occupied (51% occupancy rules), while USDA can be used for non owner occupied income producing projects, as long as the deal is in an eligible "rural" area based on USDA mapping and population rules. The conversation gets practical with examples and requirements, including why USDA timelines are longer (often 4 to 6 months), why many borrowers buy or control land early, and why lenders typically want a signed tenant LOI rather than building on pure speculation. Jordan also introduces Commercial PACE as a way to stack capital for energy efficient construction and improve overall leverage. He closes with lessons learned from a failed multifamily investment, plus his personal mantra "seek discomfort" and a book recommendation, The Almanac of Naval Ravikant.

In this solo episode, Travis continues breaking down the concept of leverage inspired by Naval Ravikant's teachings from "The Almanac of Naval Ravikant," with a focus on media, content, and distribution as powerful modern tools of leverage. He explains why creating content is no longer optional if you want to build wealth and opportunity, and how a single podcast, video, or post can scale your impact far beyond the limits of your own time. On this episode we talk about: Why media and content are leverage: one piece of work (a podcast, tweet, YouTube video, book, or short-form clip) can be consumed by millions with no additional effort from you. How media fits into permissionless leverage alongside code—you build once and can distribute or sell infinitely at near-zero marginal cost. Why online content enables scalable businesses through courses, sponsorships, and products while driving down customer acquisition costs over time. The upside of content leverage: it's the most accessible form of leverage because you can record, edit, and publish from a smartphone without technical expertise or a software engineering partner. The downside of content leverage: algorithm dependency, platform risk, and winner‑take‑most dynamics where a tiny fraction of creators capture the majority of revenue and attention. The Matt Rife example: how TikTok's algorithm helped explode his career to stadium tours and tens of millions in income, and how platform shifts later reduced his reach despite audience demand. Why the abundance of creators makes competition fierce and attention scarce, and why most creators will never reach massive scale even though the tools are available to everyone. How to approach content strategically: get clear on whether you want to be a massive creator or simply drive enough traffic to support a profitable, lifestyle business. Why content is still worth it despite the risks, and how consistency, thoughtfulness, and skill-building help you stand out in a noisy market. Top 3 Takeaways Your real job is to develop strong judgment and attach it to powerful leverage—the difference between wealth and poverty isn't hours worked, but whether those hours are leveraged. More people doesn't always mean more productivity; labor leverage requires strong systems and clear SOPs, otherwise coordination costs can slow down projects instead of accelerating them. Software and code represent permissionless leverage with near-zero marginal costs, and AI is democratizing access to this type of leverage, potentially removing traditional skill barriers in the near future. Notable Quotes: "Leverage is not just talking about debt anymore in a capital stack. It's talking about anything that multiplies your output without multiplying your input." "Forget rich versus poor, forget white collar versus blue collar. It's leveraged versus unleveraged." "Even if you didn't sleep, you would still only have 24 hours a day, seven days a week to put into this project. But if you had 100 people working on it eight hours a day, that's significantly more time invested."

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down the concept of leverage inspired by Naval Ravikant's teachings from "The Almanac of Naval Ravikant." He explores why some people can build massive wealth with the same 24 hours while others struggle, examining the fundamental difference between leveraged and unleveraged work. On this episode we talk about: The fundamental definition of leverage and how it multiplies output without multiplying input The distinction between permissioned leverage (requiring approval) and permissionless leverage (deployable on your own) Labor leverage: using other people's time to scale beyond your personal capacity Capital leverage: deploying money to make more money and why it amplifies both gains and losses Code and software leverage: creating zero-marginal-cost products that scale to millions of users Top 3 Takeaways Your real job is to develop strong judgment and attach it to powerful leverage—the difference between wealth and poverty isn't hours worked, but whether those hours are leveraged More people doesn't always mean more productivity; labor leverage requires strong systems and clear SOPs, otherwise coordination costs can slow down projects instead of accelerating them Software and code represent permissionless leverage with near-zero marginal costs, and AI is democratizing access to this type of leverage, potentially removing traditional skill barriers in the near future Notable Quotes: "Leverage is not just talking about debt anymore in a capital stack.

“Forget it, Jake—it's Chinatown.” This piece of advice is as famous as it is useless: Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) will never be able to forget what he's seen. Chinatown (1974) is also impossible to forget: whether it's the perfect nod to noir or the best noir of all time, it's endlessly fascinating, compelling, and disturbing. Join us for an improvised conversation about why the film still fascinates and why Noah Cross (John Huston) might be the best movie villain of all time. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Plus, zebra finches build their nests with a keen eye for color. But is their style easily swayed by feathered peer pressure? Zebra finch expert Lauren Guillette fills us in. Guests: Dean Regas is an astronomer and former Farmers' Almanac contributor based in Cincinnati. Liz Graznak is an organic farmer and owner of Happy Hollow Farm based in Columbia, Missouri. Lauren Guillette is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Ecology at the University of Alberta. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
