Podcasts about Blackfish

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

Thinking SeaWorld has gotten better? Remember "Blackfish." We reprise the first of a two-part conversation with SeaWorld whistle blower John Hargrove. He was featured in the documentary, "Blackfish," and  told his story in his New York Times best seller "Beneath the Surface,." In this conversation with host Emil Guillermo, Hargrove reflects on how he became the moral voice for orcas in captivity.  When you're done, you'll want to listen to part two here.

Scotland's late medieval period was a Game of Thrones-like environment with powerful families fighting and scheming for power. A particularly notorious event - The Black Dinner - inspired GRRM to write the Red Wedding. We'll examine all the gory details, politics, battles and intrigues plus other parallels beyond Stark, Frey and Lannister to characters like Bittersteel, Blackfish, Aenys Blackfyre and Unwin Peake.

Paul and Rose take their relationship to the next step.by senor longo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.“Paul; that was so exciting. I guess that when it's in my pussy it will shoot all that sperm into my womb. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?”“You, uh; were supposed to get out of the way.”“I know, but I thought it might be more fun this way; and I was right. I loved having it spurt all over me. I think I need a shower.” She seemed to notice the mess on her fingers for the first time so she brought them to her mouth for a tentative taste. “Hmm, a bit salty, but otherwise kind of interesting; maybe tomorrow night I'll try to swallow it all.”“I think I might enjoy that.” I stole a quick kiss then tried to wipe my cum from her body with a towel I'd remembered to bring.“Why don't we wet the towel?” Rose suggested.I jumped up and walked to the water. I had just bent over to moisten the towel when I felt her hands on my butt. A second later I tumbled into the 56-degree water. I'd been in the Long Island Sound in May before so I had a good idea what to expect. It was Cold! I turned around to see Rose laughing.“Okay, you got me. It's a good thing I'm in love with you. C'mon, help me up, will you?” I was almost to my knees when she extended her hand; big mistake. I pulled her onto my body as I fell back.“Ah; oh! Damn, Paul; it's cold.” All I could do was laugh and soon enough she joined me. We were two freezing maniacs laughing as I rose and carried her up the beach. I walked tenderly back down for the towel. It would normally take a few weeks before my feet grew accustomed to walking over the pebbles, especially once the skin was softened by becoming wet.I dried Rose as best I could, but she was already drying herself with her clothes.“I'm pretty sure there'd be hell to pay if I came home wet and my clothes were dry.” she said, giggling.“You know, we're both eighteen; legally adults.” I declared some independence.“I know, but we're both still in school and we're both still living at home. I guess that means we have to follow some rules.” I kissed her cheek as I dried her hair. I knew she was right, but that didn't mean I liked it. On the positive side all traces of semen on her chest and stomach had washed away.I went in with her, expecting her parents to be shocked at our condition. I was right. “Rose! Paul! What on earth happened?” Our hair was drenched; Rose wore one of my sweatshirts and an old pair of gym shorts. I was shirtless, but wearing a pair of sweatpants that matched Rose's shirt with no shoes or socks.“You have an evil daughter, Aunt Celia.” My tone of voice told everyone that I was kidding. “We went to the beach and I bent down to test the watertemperature.”“Yeah, Paul; you looked so funny doing that somersault into the water.” Rose chuckled.“Rose! You didn't!” Celia was shocked by her daughter's behavior.“So, here I was pretty much wet and freezing so I figured tit for tat would be appropriate. I asked for some help; and when Rose reached for me ,I pulled her in, too. Lucky I had some spare clothes in the back of my truck. Rose changed in the truck; I changed in the far end of the parking lot.”“Oh, I swear; you two. Shame on you, Rose.”“I already apologized and it was accepted.”“Yes,” I admitted as I kissed her cheek. “I'll see you tomorrow night. By the way, we're going fishing. Trust me, you'll love it.”Rose laughed. She knew exactly what she'd love about fishing then she reached up to peck my lips. I said good night to Aunt Celia and handed Rose a plastic bag with her sodden clothes. Needless to say, my mother knew all about it by the time I had driven home.CHAPTER 3The following night we skipped the movies, the drive-in, the miniature golf, and everything else, driving straight to the beach with a few rods, reels, and other equipment tucked safely in the truck's bed. There were a few other couples and even a few fishermen there in the fading light, but we ignored them, walking more than a quarter mile from the parking lot. I spread the blanket, prepped the rods even going so far as to cast deep into the water. A set of sand spikes held the rods vertical when we lay down to a lengthy make-out session.Rose and I were all over each other. No longer were we reluctant to hold or touch each other. My hands roamed her body, stopping at each breast and nipple before reaching down into her shorts to her gushing pussy. Rose laughed, “I think my face and my pussy are even wetter than they were last night.” I joined her laughter as I slowly wiped the spit from both our faces. I'd leave the nectar for later.Once it was dark we had the beach to ourselves. I began to slowly remove her clothes; her top, bra, shorts, and panties. Rose removed my shirt, shorts, and briefs. We lay together chest to chest on the rough blanket. I broke our kiss to move my lips and mouth down her body, around each of those breasts I adored to her sensitive navel. My tongue tickled her here until she screamed, “Uncle!” Finally, I reached my objective, climbing between her legs. The broad surface of my tongue cleaned her of juice all the way from her anus to her clit. I repeated several times until her labia were red and enflamed with her desire. I shifted my attention to her tunnel. In and out; I fucked her with the most amazing tenderness and love. Rose reacted wildly, thrashing back and forth across the blanket.I kept at her for more than ten minutes before making my final move to her clit. Sucking it between my teeth brought her to the sweetest, the most exquisite orgasm. It continued as long as I worried her sensitive bud. Eventually, I took mercy on her and stopped. I climbed back up her body to hold her and caress her head to my chest. It was almost a half hour later that she returned to normal. “Oh God, Paul; I thought last night was intense, but it was nothing in comparison to tonight. It began when your tongue was inside me and it never stopped.” She looked at my face several times and from several angles in the light of the gibbous moon. “Paul; what's that all over your face?”Now it was my turn to laugh. “It's you, Rose; your ejaculate. I remember reading something in the Playboy Advisor a few months ago. It's called ‘squirting.'”“Oh no; did I pee on you? I'm so sorry, Paul.”“Don't worry, Rose; you didn't. It doesn't smell anything like urine. In fact, I love the way it; you; taste. All I know is that one second I was noshing on your clit and the next I was swimming. It tastes like your juice; you know; that stuff that seems to run down your legs whenever we're together.”“I'm kinda partial to that stuff that runs down YOUR legs and I'm going to see that as soon as I recover. Do you think those Playboy letters are real, Paul?”“Who knows? I'd guess that some of them are, but I think that it's the answers that have to be real even if the letters aren't.”Rose rested for almost a half hour. I didn't mind. I got to hold her and experience the touch of her sensational smooth skin against mine. I loved when she rubbed her hard nipples against my hairy chest. She began by kissing my neck then kissing her way down my body, stopping once she had reached my hard cock.She began by licking all around my balls then up the sensitive underside of my organ. Once around the head was but a prelude to trying to swallow it whole. It was a great idea, but it was clear that Rose would have to practice quite a bit to reach that goal. I was happy when she made it half-way. She used her tongue to force my cock up and into the roof of her mouth. She had done it for only five minutes before I felt that old familiar churning. “Rose!” I tried to warn her, but she paid me no heed. My hips bucked as I spurted over and over into her mouth and throat. She kept on sucking, but semen poured from the corners of her mouth, running down to her breasts and abdomen. She took one look down and broke out laughing. Luckily, she had released my cock first.“I think I need more practice at that; lots and lots of practice.” She laughed and I joined her a second later.“I'll buy that, especially the ‘lots and lots' part. I'll be happy to practice my part, too.” We laughed again as I pulled her up for another kiss, my semen smearing between our bodies. I wasn't worried. I'd come prepared with a gallon of water in my truck and several towels in the bucket by the fishing rods.We had hugged each other for almost a half hour when Rose sat up suddenly. “Paul, why haven't you gotten any bites? Isn't that unusual?”“Not really; if one wants to catch fish it's usually necessary to use some bait. I want to go next weekend. The blacks usually come in around Memorial Day weekend. Want to come with me?”I was wiping her chest clean when she responded. We laid out our plans while we rested. Before leaving we tried to “69.” It was just as incredible as our earlier oral attempts. Rose squirted all over my face and a fair portion of my semen escaped Rose's mouth, running down my legs to the blanket. We picked up the area and walked back to the truck naked where I washed Rose's body and she washed mine. I dropped her off just before one and drove home where I fell asleep almost immediately.The following weekend; Memorial Day; marked the opening of the summer season. It was also the beginning of the fishing season and the time we'd set to take Rose's virginity. Now that we were naked Rose pulled me down to the blanket with her. It was clean and soft. I'd had a difficult time explaining to my mother why it needed fabric softener when it's only for the beach. When I told her that Rose had complained about it the discussion ended. Mom loved Rose; had ever since we'd met more than ten years ago.Now Rose lay back on the soft blanket. We kissed and touched each other. She found me hard; I found her wet. I showed her how to apply the condom to my organ and climbed between her legs. I could tell that she was eager. She pulled me to her, wrapped her legs around my waist, and placed my cock at the entrance to her womanhood. “Now Paul; please do it now. I love you, Paul. Please make us one.” We'd spoken about it so many times. She knew it would hurt at first so I moved into her slowly; easily. I loved the expression on her face as her pussy adjusted to my girth. I pushed until I met the inevitable resistance. “Do it, Paul; just a few minutes hurt for a lifetime of pleasure with you.” I plunged forward, stopping immediately to comfort my love.I wiped the tears from her cheeks with my kisses as I caressed her head, running my fingers through her silken hair. It was only five minutes later that she told me, “Do it, Paul. Do me!” I did, pushing all the way into her, until our pubic hairs meshed. The look on Rose's face was one of pure ecstasy as she began to move with me. She met my every thrust with one of her own. I was so caught up with what I was doing that I had failed to notice the moans of pleasure coming from Rose's mouth. Now that we were fucking hard and fast those moans had grown into groans and then grunts.She was moving like a wild animal when I heard her scream. It was followed by a flood onto my abdomen. Seconds later the condom was flooded with sperm as I pumped into Rose with incredible force. I collapsed onto her chest, leaning down to kiss and caress her face.I moved back up about a minute later and our eyes met. “Well?”Rose's response was to pull me back down into a long, wet, and extremely passionate kiss with her tongue plunging into my mouth. She broke it some minutes later. “Paul; oh, Paul it was incredible. I can't begin to tell you how many times I came.”“How many? What do you mean?”“I had my first orgasm about twenty seconds after you entered me. Then I had another and another and another. They were coming so fast that they all blended into one huge explosion. That's when I screamed.”“That's not all you did.” Give me your hand. I pulled out of her and brought her hand to my abdomen. Even in the pale moonlight I could see how startled she was.“Is that me again? Did I; what was the word you used?”“You mean; squirt? Ha. Ha. It was more like a flood.” Don't be embarrassed. I loved it. I loved knowing that you enjoyed making love with me.”“I didn't enjoy it. I loved every second, even the part that hurt. I know now that I'm a real woman.”I laughed again. “I never had a doubt. I've always thought of you as the ultimate; .”“Yeah,” Rose interrupted, “but you're in love with me; hardly an unbiased resource. I'm sorry I made a mess of you.”“I'm not; you can do that to me any time you want; on any part of my body you want. Now, let me clean us up a bit and rest. Then we can try it again; maybe in a different position.” I finished wiping her abdomen, removed the condom and buried it in the sand, and finished with my abdomen. I lay back with Rose astride my body to rest.“What are you doing tomorrow,” Rose whispered.“I have to work most of the day. I have Mr. Gentile and Mr. Kane. I'm not looking forward to dealing with him. He demands good service, but he never wants to pay. Maybe I'll dump him and spend the time at Mr. Gentile's. He wants me to do his beds as well as his lawn. Other than those two jobs I have the weekend free to spend with you.”“Don't forget the cookout we're having Sunday after church.”“I'll never forget a chance to spend the entire day with you.”“I know that, but don't forget that Eric and my parents will be there too and, of course, your parents and Mary.” Rose may have been talking, but her body was moving all over mine. After thirty minutes I was hard and ready to go again. I gave Rose one of the condoms. She rolled it down my shaft and then, following my instructions to the letter, sat on me; my organ disappearing into her body. It was incredible watching me enter and disappear into her. Rose began to rock forward and back in time with my thrusts. We continued moving together while I massaged her tender breast tissue and rolled her sensitive nipples between my fingers. It wasn't long before an orgasm hit. I say “an orgasm” because it was obvious from my vantage point that she experienced at least eight and each one only served to increase the rapture she was experiencing. Finally, just before I was ready she arched her back severely and screamed into the night. Rose fell rather than collapsed onto my chest just as my orgasm hit. I drove her up six times before we came to rest completely satiated and completely exhausted. Thank God it was only 10:35.We recovered slowly. I removed my cock from her and wiped my abdomen again. It was covered with her thick aromatic juice. Once done, I got a new towel and wiped her crotch. She still leaked even though the sex had ended. All told I spent almost half an hour making us presentable. We were still naked as we lay together. “I just love the way you feel, Rose. Your skin is so smooth and so soft and you're so sexy. I love your face and your breasts and your tummy, your ass, your legs; damn, I love every part of you, but I love the whole you even more.”“I'll bet you can't guess what I love best about you.”“Well, I know now that you love my cock.”“Of course, silly and I'll always love that; even when we're sixty, but that's not my favorite part.” I lay there for almost ten minutes unable to guess. “It's this,” she said as she pointed to my forehead.”“You love my forehead best?”“No, Paul; I love what's in there; your brain; your essence. Did you know that you were the only person who visited me every day when I was sick? Even my own dad didn't come to see me as much as you did. I know you could have been out playing with your friends, but you spent more than an hour with me every day reading to me and holding my hand. I knew then that you were a special person; that you were MY special person. Now you really are MY special person.”“Rose, you said something about loving my cock even when we're sixty. We haven't really talked about it, but I want us to be together forever. I can't formally ask you to marry me because I have no way to support you. But I will ask you as soon as that day comes. Meanwhile we will still have a lot to think about, like what we'll do when I'm in college and you're still in school. Don't worry; we'll work it out so we're never apart.” Rose held me even closer then and gave me the kiss of my life; the best kiss I could possibly imagine. Regretfully, we had to dress and leave once it was done.CHAPTER 4I was up early the following morning. After breakfast I drove to Sycamore Drive where my two customers lived. They couldn't have been more different. Dennis Kane was a cheap skinflint who was always looking to get something for nothing. John Gentile was a kind, generous man. I was much more inclined to work for him than for Mr. Kane, that's for sure. I had parked in Kane's driveway when Mr. Kane appeared. “Good morning, Mr. Kane. I need to remind you that you didn't pay me for last week.”“Don't worry about that. I'll take care of you once you're done.”“That's not how I work, Mr. Kane. I require payment when services are performed. You owe me seven bucks.”“I said I'd pay you once you were done and that's what I'll do.” I returned my tools to the truck and lifted the tailgate to secure it. I walked to the cab to enter when he spoke again. “Listen, you little bastard; you get out here and mow this lawn. If you don't; .”“You'll what, Mr. Kane? Beat me up? That I'd like to see.”“If I called the cops who do you think they'd believe?”“I think they'd believe Mr. Gentile,” I said, pointing across the street to where Mr. Gentile had observed the entire matter. “So long, Mr. Kane; enjoy mowing your lawn. Consider last week's job as a parting gift.” I backed out and drove three houses down the block to see Mr. Gentile.“Morning, Paul; let me guess; he didn't want to pay you.”“Right on, sir. He owed me for last week and wanted me to mow before paying me. Ten to one he'd be gone by the time I finished. I don't need customers like that. He threatened me with calling the cops and trumping up some charge so I was really glad you were out here. You'd be a good witness. Why don't you show me what you want me to do?”Mr. Gentile showed me around the property. It was bigger than our yard with lots of shrubbery and several trees. He told me what he wanted, but listened to several suggestions I had. All told we spent a half hour going over everything. He offered me $50 for the additional work which I thought more than fair. I worked almost all day, quitting only for lunch and when I was done. He approved immensely of the job I had done. I was surprised when he asked me to come by tomorrow around one to discuss a summer job. He promised me more money than I could make doing lawns. I explained that I had a family obligation, but would try to get away for half an hour.I was beat after spending the entire day cutting the lawn, digging and trimming the beds, and spreading mulch. I drove home, called Rose and hopped into the shower. The hot water did wonders for my sore muscles. I ate a quick dinner before driving over to see Rose and take her back to the beach; this time to do some actual fishing. We joined some friends who had already caught some small blacks. I baited our hooks and cast the rods, handing one to Rose, keeping the other for myself.We were there for almost an hour when I heard Ryan make a crude comment about Rose; a comment that would have been better left unsaid. I put the rod down and walked his way. I didn't raise my voice. I didn't have to. Ryan got the message; keep your big mouth shut or risk the beating of your life. Ryan was bigger than me, but he was mostly flab while I was firm muscle. Once he knew how things were between Rose and me he walked over to Rose to apologize. It helped that Rose had not heard him. The remark was really offensive.The sun had set when the fish moved in. Blackfish typically would be found in rocky areas. When fishing from the shore that meant keeping the hook and sinker in the rocky band that was about twenty feet wide. Cast too far and you'd wind up in the barren sandy expanse that made up most of the Sound's bottom. Cast not far enough and you'd be in the pebbles where nothing grew or lived. My secret was to cast deep into the sandy expanse and reel into the rocks. I could tell by the action of the sinker exactly where my line was. It was a practice that had always worked in the past and it worked now.I had just cast Rose's line and handed the rod to her. She thanked me with a kiss then shooed me away to deal with a bite. Rose was an accomplished fisherman. We'd fished many times and we both knew that she could bait her own hook and cast her own line. I liked to do it for her so I did. I had a nibble just as she brought what looked like a three-pounder to the beach. I would have helped her, but I had my own fish to deal with.This was typical of fishing for blackfish. Many times I had stood or sat for hours with nothing happening only to spend the next hour fighting one fish after another. Tonight we spent more than an hour like that, throwing all but the biggest fish back to be caught another day. After catching four big ones, all over four pounds, we called it a night. We set our rods down onto the beach and walked hand in hand into the darkness. Of course, our friends knew what we were going to do; at least they thought they did. We had gone almost a half mile when Rose turned into me and pulled me into a long lingering kiss. Her hands roamed over my body. Mine did the same to her. I was surprised to find she hadn't worn any panties.“Oh Rose, you naughty girl; what do you have in mind?“Does this tell you?” She pushed a condom into my hand.“You are so incorrigible.” She laughed and pulled me down to the pebbles. I lay on my back with Rose astride me as she unzipped my shorts and pulled my hard manhood from within. She enclosed it within the condom then used her shorts and blouse as a pillow for my head. I grinned unseen as she lowered herself onto me. “As I said, Rose; you are incorrigible. I think I've created a monster. Everyone will know what we're doing when you scream.”“I don't care. All I know is how badly I need you.” I was engulfed by her hot tight pussy by the time she finished her statement. Even through the latex shield I could feel the heat and tightness of Rose as her muscles squeezed me tightly. We moved together as we had last night and with the same result; Rose came and came and came, her orgasm culminating in a massive convulsion that shook her body for several seconds. She screamed as it ended, finally reclaiming control of her body. I held her tightly as I repeatedly blew my load into the rubber.It took Rose almost fifteen minutes to recover. By then I had buried the condom and made a weak attempt to clean my abdomen of Rose's cum. I took her to the water's edge to rinse her skin before dressing her and walking back to our friends. I could see Ryan smirk at our appearance. “Keep your thoughts to yourself, Ryan. At least I have a girlfriend and she's much more than a girlfriend to me. You might keep that in mind while I beat the living shit out of you. When's the last time you had a date?” I knew that would cut into him; he was an eighteen year old virgin who'd never had a date. Worse, in my mind, his father was one of my customers. Why would the father of an eighteen year old son need someone to mow his lawn? I cleaned our fish at the water's edge and we walked back to the truck.We loaded the gear and I drove Rose home. Her eyes were still glazed over and I was sure Aunt Celia noticed although she never said anything. I took the fish fillets to the sink and washed them before bagging them and placing them in the refrigerator. I had sent Rose to the bathroom. She returned a few minutes later looking a lot cleaner. I stayed for almost an hour before setting a time to pick her up for church tomorrow. Not surprisingly, my mom was on the phone when I returned home three minutes later. I knew it was Aunt Celia; who else would call at 12:15 in the middle of the night?I picked Rose up at 9:20 for the drive to St. Anthony's. Rose and I always went to confession before Mass. We'd have a lot to confess this morning and, I suspected, many Sunday mornings to come. I went to confession because my mother and Rose wanted me to. Personally, I found the idea of saying you were sorry for doing things that you'd do again and again, like masturbating and now making love with Rose, was silly. I'd say my Hail Mary's and other prayers as my penance, but I'd be back again next week to confess to the very same sins to the very same priest and for the very same penance. I'd listened to the same lecture on self-control and having respect for my body more than a hundred times already.As usual, Rose and I sat apart from our families. After Mass we walked out to find Mr. Gentile waiting for us. “I saw you inside, Paul, and I thought we might speak now rather than have you take time this afternoon. Do you know where I work?”“Some golf course, I think.”“Yeah; St. George's in East Setauket. It's a very exclusive club and it takes a lot to keep all the grass and plants in order. That's my job; I'm Superintendent. I like the way you work and, more important, you seem to enjoy it. I'll offer you a summer job at $5.00 an hour. You'll work a minimum of 40 hours a week so you'll earn a minimum of $200 a week. Of course, I'll have to deduct federal and state withholding and social security, but you'll get most of it back when you file because you're a student. It's a bit of a hike from here, but you have a truck. I have to tell you; you'll have to be there early at 6:00, but you'll finish early most days around three. Why don't you talk it over with your parents? You can let me know sometime during the week.” He shook my hand and left.“What do you think, Paul,” Rose asked once we were in the truck.“It sounds interesting, mostly because I could continue to do my mowing work, most of it anyway. Of course, I'll want to spend all my free time with you.”“I was hoping you'd say that. Paul, I was thinking; what do you think our parents would do if they knew about; you know?”“Well, I have a feeling Aunt Celia already knows. You were still kind of out of it when I brought you home last night. She didn't say anything so; . I know she was on the phone with Mom when I got home last night.” I started the truck and drove home. Later, just before lunch we'd go to Rose's house for the big Memorial Day cookout. It had been a family tradition since we had moved here twelve years ago.Rose walked into the kitchen to hug and kiss my mom and dad before coming to my room with me. She sat on the bed while I changed in the closet. We'd done this dozens of times, at least, although not since we'd become a couple. I walked out five minutes later in a tee-shirt, shorts, and sandals; quite a contrast to Rose in her church dress. I leaned down to kiss her. It was relatively chaste, but Rose whispered, “Paul; you make me so hot. All I can think of is doing it with you.”“Me, too; unfortunately we'll have to wait. C'mon.” I took her hand and led her to the living room. My parents were there reading the Sunday Newsday and the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Rose and I sat together on the couch. “Mom, Dad; Mr. Gentile offered me a job at St. George's Country Club.”“That's quite a distance from here, isn't it?”“Yeah, but he'll pay me $5.00 an hour from 6:00 to at least 3:00, a minimum of forty hours a week. I could probably keep most, if not all, of my current customers. Oh yeah, I dumped Mr. Kane yesterday.”“We know. He called yesterday to complain. Your father ignored him. We know what a cheapskate he can be. What do you think, Paul? You're the one who'll have to do all the work.”“I think I'd enjoy it. I doubt that they do much hand mowing so I'd learn to use the machines. I'm sure I'll have to do some digging, but that just helps me stay in shape for football. I like Mr. Gentile. He's a good guy and he's always very fair. I'm inclined to accept.” That was that; I had a summer job. Any lawns I couldn't handle I'd give to my good friend Brian. He had helped me in the past and was always looking for some extra money.Rose and I left for the cookout around noon, stopping off to see Mr. Gentile on the way. He was pleased that I'd accepted. It was only two blocks from there to Rose's house. We walked through to the back yard. I hugged and kissed Aunt Celia and shook hands with Uncle Carl. Rose took my hand and led me to the hammock. I lay back on it and Rose joined me. It was cozy for the two of us, her breasts pressing against me. I was a little concerned about her parents, but so far not a word had been spoken. I heard the doorbell a few minutes later as my parents and Mary arrived. Dad and Mary walked out to the backyard with Uncle Carl and Eric. Uncle Carl opened several cans of beer and Eric brought one to me.“Thanks, Eric; want to play some ball later?” I knew he'd agree. He always wanted to play some kind of ball with me. I took a sip and handed the can to Rose. She wasn't a big fan of beer, but she would drink it as opposed to some girls who only wanted wine or a cocktail. For some reason New York was the only state in the area where eighteen year olds could legally drink. One day soon I was sure New York would join all the other states in setting the legal age at twenty-one. That wouldn't bother me; I could take drinking or leave it.While we lounged in the yard our mothers were in the kitchen preparing food and, I was sure, talking about us. “They make a lovely couple, don't you think, Martha?”“Yes, they do, but I often wonder whether I should have told Paul that we weren't really related.”“Oh, I think it was a good decision. I know that Paul will take good care of Rose unlike some of the boys I know like Ryan. I'd hate to see Rose on a date with him.”“Yes, I suppose what you say is true. I wonder if they've; you know; done it.”“If I had to guess I'd say yes. You should have seen the expression on Rose's face when Paul brought her home last night. I was actually envious. I woke poor Carl from a sound sleep and fucked his lights out.”“Well, I hope Paul doesn't hurt her. I don't know if I could bear that. Although; when I first told him that he said he wouldn't because he loves Rose. He also said he was in it for the long haul. I've wondered exactly what he meant by that.”“Why not ask him?”“Maybe I will, but for now; let's get this food outside. Hmmm, I wonder if she inherited your; .”“Oh God! You would remember that. I was so embarrassed when all my friends heard my scream. Even now Carl has to stuff my mouth with a towel. I used to wake the children when they were younger. At least they couldn't ask what was going on, but now; . Well, I guess we'll never know.” They grabbed the rolls, burgers, hot dogs, and potato salad. There was so much they would have to make two trips.To be continued in part 3. by senor longo for Sex Stories.

Simon and Mackelly consider the intestinal fortitude of the tormented Lord of Riverrun.Chapter Review:Jaime parlays with Brynden Blackfish Tully. He makes zero progress. The older man is resigned to Edmure's death, accuses Jaime of oathbreaking and cowardice, and won't believe Jaime's offer of pardons for all within.Jaime calls a war council that is closer to a war. All parties bring their high-horses and nobody budges an inch. The enmity within the besiegers camp is greater than that between the besiegers and the besieged.He gives up, dismisses Ryman Frey back to the Twins for his incompetence and elevates Ryman's son Edwyn to head the Frey contingent. He frees Edmure from his torment and brings him back to be bathed and fed. The kindness comes with an offer and a threat. Edmure will be returned to Riverrun. If he then surrenders the castle the original offer remains - all will be spared. But if he doesn't, everyone inside will die and Edmure's soon-to-be-born baby will be trebucheted over the walls.

Harambe is a true-crime documentary like no other and will have you on the edge of your seat with crucial information never before revealed. You can watch it by clicking here: https://watch.unchainedtv.com/videos/harambe-the-movie. Erik Crown, the director, is a former TMZ paparazzi who used to photograph and interview celebrities on the fly before reinventing himself and becoming an animal rights filmmaker. Harambe, a critically endangered, silverback gorilla, was shot and killed after a child entered into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016. The story made international news and Harambe's photo quickly became a viral internet sensation that sparked an important discussion on captivity. Was the gorilla actually trying to protect the child when the primate was shot? Let's dive deep and find out with the team that made this award-winning film. Featuring Downton Abbey star Peter Egan, this movie has been hailed as the next Blackfish, revealing the dark underbelly of zoos. “The killing of Harambe was murder,” says Captain Paul Watson, star of Whale Wars and founding member of Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks with Director Erik Crown and Producer Sierra Williams about this groundbreaking film. For more, or to get involved, visit: https://harambemovie.com/

Troy Hayden has been a journalist and TV news anchor for over 35 years. We asked for his perspective concerning the news industry's views on zoos and aquariums and whether a reporter's approach varies if the names "sanctuary" or "rescue" are attached. Troy admits to being a fan of zoos as a kid but admitted major controversies like that portrayed in Blackfish have tarnished the zoological community's reputation and created greater skepticism among some of his peers.  A skepticism he doesn't share thanks in part to being married to a zoo and aquarium president who has opened his eyes to the important conservation work being done. Troy offers some advice on the importance of telling the great stories that zoos have to offer and how to get those on air. Animal Care Software

Podcast to the shelled ones. Welcome back to the podcast! Today we're talking about Ecco the Dolphin, a side scrolling adventure game and a real classic of the Genesis era. Ecco is a weird game in a lot of ways, the most obvious of which is the fact that it's a game in which you play as a dolphin and all the surprisingly fluid movement that comes with that. Moving around in this game is surprisingly cool for the time, with the ability to swim very quickly around the map and jump out of water. This theme also serves well for other mechanics, including a breath mechanic to add some time pressure to levels and sonar which creates maps on the fly, both of which are really unique and play into the unique aspects of the game. The other reason the game is weird is that, without spoiling it, it does go to places you might not expect from a game about a dolphin. The fact that there is a narrative twist and a bunch of these cool and flavorful mechanics almost makes up for the fact that this game is an extremely unintuitive maze game. Maybe one of the best examples of a game that is fun to play but not fun to beat, completing levels in Ecco requires you to dodge randomly placed phasing-through-walls enemies while moving at high speed and trying to find nooks and/or crannies that contain crystals, which are just keycards. So it's a bit hit and miss but it is one of those retro games that is definitely worth at least looking into if you're interested in some of the bigger swings. We're going to be talking about how and why the difficulty of the game is what it is, how unexpected the twist was, and we fit in a mention of Blackfish because why not. Thank you for joining us again this week! Ecco got put on the list almost as a joke, but we're glad to have actually played it. Such is the whim of the dice. Were you aware of what this game actually was? Did you play this when it was a new game? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord! This is our last randomly selected game for Pocket, so we're moving on to our next theme, a thing no one cares about but we have no shortage of anyway. Next time, we're starting a series of episodes dedicated to DLC and expansions and we're beginning with Splatoon 3's Side Order, so we hope you'll join us for that!

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson ** 01:20 Well, hello, and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. And today we get to talk with someone from Toronto, Canada. I'm going to probably well I'm going to do my best to pronounce her name first name is Chenai and her last name is Kadungure, Kadungure, or something close to that. There's a D in it. But people if you're speaking appropriately, you don't pronounce the D but some people do and my screen reader does it actually makes her last name, Kadungure. Her. So there you go figure that out. And I it's technology. But we really are glad to have you here on unstoppable mindset. Chenai is a very passionate individual. She helps to build dynamic and valuable relationships. And she has been voted one of the top 100 Black Women to Watch in Canada. And that's worth doing. So Chenai, welcome to unstoppable mindset.   Chenai Kadungure ** 02:20 Yes, I'm so glad. I'm so glad and excited to be here. Thanks, Michael.   Michael Hingson ** 02:26 Well, thank you for being here. We're really grateful that you are taking the time to do it. And we're doing something a little bit different today, everyone, we're doing this on a Saturday, we normally do things during the week. And it is 630 in the afternoon in Toronto, so we don't want Chenai to starve. So we'll move right along. But we'll have a lot of fun doing this, I'm sure. And we'll we'll go from there. So why don't we start I love to start this way. Tell me a little bit about kind of the early Chenai growing up and so on.   Chenai Kadungure ** 02:57 The early Chenai I was a bit of a troublemaker I was I went to a Dominican convent High School in Harare, Zimbabwe. And I think I've always been someone who just goes their own lane. So I I will say that the early tonight is not too different. And I just a little bit less responsible, maybe.   Michael Hingson ** 03:21 So how long were you in Zimbabwe?   Chenai Kadungure ** 03:24 all the way till I was 18. Our economy then crashed. We basically had to do what you know, I guess people call it like economic migrants, we all had to sort of study in South Africa and overseas. So I went to South Africa for my undergrad and my first master's. And then after about five years of working I went to North Carolina for a second master's and ended up in Toronto. So I've I've traveled around.   Michael Hingson ** 03:56 So when you were in North Carolina, did you drink sweet tea?   Chenai Kadungure ** 04:02 Oh, yes. Lori has diabetes in a cup. But I did enjoy it. I mean, we were colonized by the British. So tea is very common for us back home to Well,   Michael Hingson ** 04:17 I like tea. I like hot tea. It's people who listen to this regularly or who have read my book thunder dog. No, I love PG Tips tea and it's so it's a hot, vibrant British tea. I've never been a great fan of sweet tea just because it is too sweet for me. But I appreciate it. And I'm glad people like it. I was actually talking with someone from North Carolina yesterday and they were asking me if I liked sweet tea and I said the same thing that I'm not a great sweetie fan. But on the other hand, I love sausage biscuits. So that's that's another one from South from North Carolina. But   Chenai Kadungure ** 04:55 we do what we can hmm I still missed the Bojangles though I think Yeah, that is my favorite Carolinian product.   Michael Hingson ** 05:06 Well, there you go, Well, you know, it's a fun area. And so what? What took you? Well, let me start this way when you went in got your Bachelor's in your first master's, what were they in?   Chenai Kadungure ** 05:18 Okay, my undergrad was media sociology and Gender Studies. And then I got more and more into the sociology side of thing wanting to understand how society works, why society looks the way it is. So my first master's was a master of philosophy and diversity studies. So before diversity studies was hip, I always tell people I cared about diversity. There   Michael Hingson ** 05:43 you go. So that was your first master's and what was your second one when you went to North Carolina?   Chenai Kadungure ** 05:48 I went to North Carolina on a Rotary Peace Fellowship. It was one of those will be World Peace fellowships. I'm a Rotarian. Well, now I'm a Rotarian. But back then you can't do the fellowship if you're a rotary. So I went to the Duke UNC Peace Center, and we always say peace is possible. If a Tar Heel and a Dookie can get along. Oh, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 06:14 Well, so there, there are three of courses NC, UNC and Duke. And that's a combination to try to make peace between.   Chenai Kadungure ** 06:25 Yes, I think the basketball is usually where it all comes to a head. But yes, there are days where it's not safe to wear a certain type of blue.   Michael Hingson ** 06:36 Yeah, well, I understand. And basketball is the thing. I was there once, just when I think it was. And UNC and NC State were playing to see who was going to I think have top bragging rights in the conference. Or maybe well, no, it wasn't duke it was UNC and NC State. And all TV was preempted by the game. Needless to say, there's no no surprise. Oh,   Chenai Kadungure ** 07:09 yes. Oh, yes. People live, eat and breathe. And I'd say that's the equivalent of I guess a hockey here.   Michael Hingson ** 07:13 Yeah. Yeah, you've got hockey up there. You've got the Maple Leafs, and, and, and all of that well, so What took you from North Carolina, then to Toronto? So   Chenai Kadungure ** 07:26 I've always had a cousin, who's here, and she always used to say, come to Canada. And I always used to tell her. Sorry, it's too cold. And then, as the years went by, I started hearing some good things about Canada. And I thought, you know, it's worth a shot. Since I was already in North America. I figured this is the next step. So I came here, and I just, I really love being here. I enjoy being here.   Michael Hingson ** 07:51 How long have you been there?   Chenai Kadungure ** 07:54 So since 2018, I did a one year stint in Malawi with care Canada, and then came back. So give or take, I guess its own five going on six years. Wow. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 08:06 you moved around some needless to say,   Chenai Kadungure ** 08:10 I am a traveler. I didn't I think that's my, that's my, if people have arrest language minus travel, there's something about being somewhere else that just, it helps me.   Michael Hingson ** 08:22 Do you get bored being in one place too long, or you just love to travel and experience new things and still like to have a home base?   Chenai Kadungure ** 08:30 I think it's both and I I love encountering a new culture and, you know, trying new foods and, you know, being able to experience a place for myself, because I think we all have a stereotypical idea of what parts of the world look and feel like. But I think when you're there something about it helps you appreciate the otherness, but also appreciate where you're from, or where you live. And so I feel like there's something that always brings me back to myself when I do that. But also, it's the I think it's the cultures right? Work. I think work life balance culture. Around the world is something I enjoy. I feel like we are high on urgency culture here. So sometimes I need to physically be in a different place to get myself to rest.   Michael Hingson ** 09:18 Do you think it's different up there than it is here in the US?   Chenai Kadungure ** 09:23 I feel like we I think we might be balanced. I hear people say some things that are similar like it I feel like people kind of brag on how productive and how busy they are. In North America, where is it? Mita I'm originally Zimbabwe. And I think that the work life balance is a little bit different than even when I spent some time in the Caribbean same kind of thing.   Michael Hingson ** 09:46 Yeah, well, and you said the urgency culture and that it just makes sense. I think that we are so locked into having everything instant urgency and so on and we've got to do it. Now, it is it is unfortunate because it doesn't necessarily go that way. We haven't really learned to pace. And we want a lot of things now that we don't have any control over, and then we get mad when we don't get them.   Chenai Kadungure ** 10:14 This is true. But it was like, it's it's also about the external expectation of us, right. But I think if the most productive thing we could do in a day was to rest or to, you know, lose the desire for control or things like that, I think we had a different metric, we might do things differently, but I think the dominant culture is you need to be as busy as everyone else.   Michael Hingson ** 10:38 Yeah, that seems to be the way it goes. And, and the, the flow of activity these days. And the problem is we lose some perspectives about that, which is, which is a little unfortunate. But what do you do? So what have you been doing since you got your master's degrees? I'm assuming that while you were doing that you were pretty much busy full time with being a student?   Chenai Kadungure ** 11:03 Absolutely. I think I'm working on trying to be the less busy person, I always have so many things going on volunteering here, boards here full time job, really just carrying too many things. But I would say there's always been a sort of like nonprofit and social and community service side to everything, I've ended up doing it. I think, just by design I, I was an interrupter in high school. So they you know, interact, they talk about service above self, and I just stuck. And I think that's, that's what it's always been for me.   Michael Hingson ** 11:45 So what do you do now that you're out of school? What's your job? And all that sort of stuff?   Chenai Kadungure ** 11:51 Oh, yes. So I am the Executive Director of the black physicians association of Ontario. So we have, I would say we are both in the supporting medical education for black medical learners and the our members, which are existing physicians, residents and existing physicians, but also a large part of that is trying to improve health outcomes for black community on in Ontario. So we have our work cut out there. But I think so many of our members are instrumental to things that are happening now. So as an example, they just announced that breast cancer screening can start as early as 40. In Canada, it used to only be from about 50 onwards, but we started seeing that, okay, there's a lot of like, younger people who are getting it. And so that kind of advocacy comes from work, like from groups like ours, it's pretty exciting.   Michael Hingson ** 12:46 Yeah. Now you don't have you're not an MD at all. And you're not going that, that career path,   Chenai Kadungure ** 12:55 I gather? Yes, yes, no, I, but I've always said, I've always felt like I was a healer. I'm just too squeamish to have ever gone the medical route. My mother was a nurse. So I've always been closely connected to medicine. In some ways. It's. So   Michael Hingson ** 13:11 what do you do as a CEO of the association?   Chenai Kadungure ** 13:16 Oh, what do I not do is the question. I think when nonprofits are smaller, you end up being an everything person. So it's like, you know, you're doing business development, you're doing operations, you're talking to accountants, you're on the recruiting side, you're working with volunteers, you're in the meetings with the universities about different things. So, you know, we're all over I think, when we think of public health in Canada, especially for black community, I'm in most of those spaces.   Michael Hingson ** 13:47 Why why is there a need for a black physicians Association, as opposed to just a physician's Association? And I'm not saying there isn't I just curious to hear your answer.   Chenai Kadungure ** 13:58 Yes. I mean, I think there is when we're looking at equity, there is always a I think the default for most people in most places is to be mainstream, ie, you know, one stroke for everyone. But I think there's something about listening to specific needs of different communities, and making sure they get the support they need. And in that different way, right, I think it's sometimes very hard to be able to be all things to all people and so I feel like sometimes when you have these, like, more identity group, identity related group or like, you know, oppression related groups and things like that, I think there's a bit more weight to the voice, right and people will always be able to coalesce and meet in the general association. So here we have Canadian Medical Association and Ontario Medical Association and everyone's in those and then you have more sort of like niche ones for for specific groups, and also for US and Canada. Blackfish physicians only make up 2.7% of the physician population. So I want you to imagine that in a room, right, it's so pieces people feel very lonely in their craft and sometimes just need to get together and know that there's someone who understands their challenges. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 15:15 Do you think the association can improve those numbers and get more black physicians into the to the workforce?   Chenai Kadungure ** 15:23 We are trying, I won't lie right now we have things like we're doing studies on like the, you know, physician suicides and things like that, because there's a lot of physician burnout, I'd say just around the pandemic and onwards. So we are trying to solve a lot of problems in one go. But I think the mental the mental health and support that comes from networks like ours, has been proven to increase the number of black medical learners. To give you an example, Timur at School of Medicine, which is, I'd say, one of the most popular Ontario med schools, has sent me that some of the people, they reported a tenfold increase in black, sort of like medical learners signups because of different support programs we put into place there. So I think it's not an overnight process, but just being able to say, have we thought about, maybe we need to do this, this is how we can include more people. So I think there's a lot of work that still needs to be done for most racialized physicians, I'd say. Yeah. Do you?   Michael Hingson ** 16:25 Do you find that there is a difference in percentage of say, black physician suicides as opposed to physician suicides? Overall? Is, is? Is there that kind of disparity in the numbers, do you think?   Chenai Kadungure ** 16:41 I think it's, Canada has the problem that we don't collect a lot of data on these things. So community ends up having to be the ones collecting the data. We are going a lot on US data for a lot of these things for now. But we do hear similar kind of themes around the challenges people face. But I know that since there's still a lot of stigma around mental health in black community, that in itself, I think would make a difference, right to the level of access, we'll see if people actually taking those supports. So I think that's a big thing. The other thing is people being able to actually see that there is a problem, I think, is you know, compassion fatigue, right. And in the healthcare sector in general, there's a sometimes a challenge with boundaries, like how do you know if you've reached your limit? How do you know that you now need to be a patient and not a doctor? Right? And we know that that's a challenge. So I think we'll have to look back and have this conversation five years from now. And I'll have the steps.   Michael Hingson ** 17:38 It will be interesting to discover in hearing what what you discover, but it will, it will be interesting to see. And my my immediate thought is that any group that feels marginalized definitely has challenges over other groups. I mean, we find it in I don't know about suicides, and so on. But we do find marginalized marginalization with disabilities. And there are a lot of things that come up. And, you know, even diversity doesn't include disabilities, typically speaking, they talk about race and gender and sexual orientation and other things and don't include disabilities. Don't   Chenai Kadungure ** 18:15 get me started on that, honestly, because I think it ends up being an I don't know what it is, because every time I'm sort of, I mean, I have an invisible disability. But I always feel like for people with visible disabilities, it's like, I feel like it's 10 times harder, just to get that like the foot in the door or whatever, because people are trying to spend as little as possible. I mean, this is I'm speaking broadly, and generally, people are trying to spend as little as possible to support staff in general, right. So if you're trying to work and you need accommodations, I just don't see that kind of willingness, you know, across the board, even in sectors like ours that are supposed to be more compassionate. I see a lot of the same problems, because I mean, I also serve on the middle center board. So we hear a lot about like, okay, these are some of the challenges that residents are facing, and I'm telling you, it's, it's unreal, we haven't even scratched the surface of the lack of support that's still required in in disability on us. Yeah, well,   Michael Hingson ** 19:19 and and why do you think that is?   Chenai Kadungure ** 19:23 I think it's because it's a mixture, part of it is there's always the excuse of, oh, it's a minority. It's a small group of people. So, you know, as far as the overall impact won't be that huge, right, number one. Number two is I think we just have an empathy problem in general in the world. If it's not something happening in my house or in my body, it doesn't matter. And I think that's huge, right? For a lot of the people I work with, even when we're doing things like medicine, a lot of it is always I have a relative there's there's a connection point and yet it's like empathy in general. Just It doesn't really seem to be there. I think with me, it's a mixture of faith and culture, right Africans are communitarians. We even have the idea of goon to I'm not well, unless you're well. And so part of that is like, you know, trying to be a bit more equitable in our approaches, right?   Michael Hingson ** 20:17 Well, the the other thing I would say is that when people talk about being a small minority, the statistics show that, in general, roughly about 25% of people have some sort of disability. So it's not really that small of a minority, where it does get to be a problem is that the minority is made up of a number of different kinds of, of ways that the so called Disability manifests. Chris, what I try to do is to level the playing field. And what I tell people is, the reality is everyone in the world has a disability. And for most of you, it's light dependency, you don't do well, if the lights suddenly go out, you have to find a way to get new light in order to be able to function. But the light bulb was invented, to give you light on demand. And so mostly, your disability is covered up, but it doesn't change the fact that it still exists, because it does exist. And I've seen it happen all too many times. But I think also we have such a fear, oh, I could, I could end up tomorrow in a wheelchair, or I could end up being blind or whatever. And so fear, and the fact that we don't include disabilities in the conversation just doesn't seem to help a lot.   Chenai Kadungure ** 21:38 I completely agree. And also one that's a little bit more insidious, is if the community doesn't have money, I feel like there's a way of putting pressure on certain topics, and you kind of say, Okay, we're not going to be able to put our dollars into X organization unless they they are seem to care about this issue. And I think there's, there's some of that, like, what's in it for me, money wise, people won't really understand that, because I do feel now that, you know, there's bit there's been performative inclusion, you know, and it's, it's about being able to get money, or being able to receive the kind of quality perception capital or something, right. For the larger organizations, when their funding issues. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 22:25 Yeah, there are a lot of different factors that go into it. You said you have an invisible disability, and what is that?   Chenai Kadungure ** 22:30 Oh, I just have AD ADHD? Uh, huh.   Michael Hingson ** 22:35 How has, how has that affected you in terms of going through and getting an education and what you do now on the job and so on? Well,   Chenai Kadungure ** 22:44 I think it's, I mean, I came from a time in a culture where we don't, we don't really test for these things. And we were the stigma is still really strong. I think people don't want to think that there are any challenges and having any kind of, you know, like, any kind of like, what I say like, it's dyslexia, ADHD, all these things, I don't think we even like really get the assessments, if I remember, as you know, for us growing growing up, things may have changed in that in that realm now, but I think you just kind of get labeled as Oh, you know, you're dumb, or you're not great in school, or, you know, you just kind of get put in a corner. And when I remember my earliest experiences of like, teachers just kind of acting like, like, yeah, like I say, I'm a black sheep or something. So I recall several, like almost years in my primary schooling of just kind of sitting outside of the classroom for days on end, because you get kicked out for anything. Oh, you know, your book looks messy. Get out. Oh, you know, you're being disruptive get out. And then you spend like most of the afternoon outside. So yeah, I didn't, I didn't really think that that would be so much of this. There's a barrier outside of me just being dumb or something like that, right? Because we didn't have the nuance, or the language for it. So I only more recently found out that's what it was. But I always knew there was something there. I was like, things that look a little bit easier for people. I don't know why I struggle with this. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 24:15 I'm amazed at the number of people I've talked with on this podcast, unstoppable mindset, who talk about the fact that they have some level of autism, but they didn't even know it, and didn't get it diagnosed until they were in their 30s. Yeah,   Chenai Kadungure ** 24:33 pretty much you get to a point where you're just like, I want to figure out what it is. Because for me, I think when I'm most burnt out, that's when you know, it's just even more apparent. So the cope when the coping mechanisms stopped working. You're like I did, like something else is going on here.   Michael Hingson ** 24:49 Yeah, yeah, we we. I think we're learning I think that that there's growth, but it certainly isn't at the level Hold on to the level that it really needs to be and disabilities are still the minority that are least talked about, or at least involved at least included. And it shouldn't be that way. But it is.   Chenai Kadungure ** 25:16 I absolutely agree. I mean, even when we're doing research, right, and we're looking at past even focus groups, and we're breaking down categories, the number of times I've sent documents back and be like you, you've left out to so many times, it seems like you've left out there. It's, it is, it's unreal. And so I think there's a level of resilience that is in the disability community that, yeah, I can't even begin to imagine because it's, yeah, it's like being invisible. Literally, it is.   Michael Hingson ** 25:53 And being ignored is what it's about. To a large degree. One thing I know that you talk about, from time to time, is the whole concept of an authenticity. Why does that matter to you?   Chenai Kadungure ** 26:09 I feel like it's a trait of, I think it's about integrity. But I also think personal integrity is so much harder. Like there, I think there's a general sort of understood idea of like, oh, you know, I did what I said I'm going to do, but the older I've gotten, the more I realized that so few people get to just fully be themselves, whether it's in their jobs, in their marriages, in their faith, and like, it's just such a huge thing to be yourself and 100% yourself. And so for me, I think that's something like I gave it a word. And I decided to call it authenticity. And, and honestly, I think if I look at all the leaders I've respected and like the most, that's what it is. And I think it's rare. I think that as a trait is rare.   Michael Hingson ** 26:58 I use that.   Chenai Kadungure ** 27:01 Well, some of it is what we discussed before, I think there there is a from when you're born, you have people telling you, you have to be a certain way, you have to think a certain way you have to study certain things, you have to do certain jobs, there's always something with it, society culture, weighing in on how you need to show up in the world. And I think more often than not, we want as much as we care about personal control, we really are about controlling other people, too. That's, that's what I can really put it to because there's a lot of performance that happens. And it's like, sometimes it's performance for survival. But a lot of times, I think it's also just performance for approval, like if I show up in this way, then I'll be accepted.   Michael Hingson ** 27:49 And it doesn't really matter, what you may truly feel is that people want you to be a certain way. So you become inauthentic, if you will.   Chenai Kadungure ** 28:02 Pretty much like oh, it just becomes your life, you know, the things you do ended up becoming like your habits or you know, it's that's what you've invested in. And so that's where you are. And I think there a lot of people who get, you know, 3040 years down the line, they realize they lived other people's lives. And I that's the thing I wouldn't want. I don't want to look back at my life 30 years from now and feel like I live someone else's life. Do   Michael Hingson ** 28:26 you think there's any kind of a trend on the part of people to want to be more authentic and to to buck that? That concept?   Chenai Kadungure ** 28:39 Definitely, I think when we talk about leaders who do things differently, or even what I see with I guess, Gen Z and sort of like the generations coming over, I feel like their BS radar is a lot stronger. Or they're, maybe it's because there are a lot, I feel like they're a lot more judgmental, because they kind of expect, they expect you to understand that they're human. Whereas I think some of the generations before we were like, You need to be a productive person, you need to, you know, show up in this way. And you know, whether it's your church or you know, there are a lot of different places that had expectations of you. I think a lot of the younger people now are just very, you know, they're not ashamed of showing up as they are, you know, I'm saying, Today I'm in my sweats, because that's what I feel like. And you know, I should show up that way, you know, so I feel like with time, we've opened up a bit. A simple example I could think of, as I know, in the tech sector, there isn't an expectation that people come buttoned up in suits and things like that, right. And yet, there's a time where I think that might have been the most offensive thing a person did when they walked into a meeting. He wore sneakers to an interview, you know, so I feel like those are some of the ways we're slowly now becoming less, I guess judgy about how other people should behave.   Michael Hingson ** 30:01 An interesting paradox. I know that when I started selling, and I took sales courses, and I met with any number of people, they would give examples like, so on the East Coast or in a number of places, and important meetings, you show up if you're a man in a suit and tie or women wear dresses and skirts and all that, but I'm going to use men just for a moment, a suit and tie and, and so on. But you don't do that if you go to Texas, you can wear jeans and cowboy boots, and it's totally acceptable. And that was something I heard 30 years ago and 40 years ago, yet, we, we still mostly really do have that that trend, oh, you have to look or do things in a particular way. And I think that also contributes to the whole disability discussion a little bit, because the bottom line is, I don't, although I want to do and have the right to have equal access to doing the things that you do and, and having that opportunity, I won't use the same tools or do them in exactly the same way. And we get too locked in again, to one certain way of doing things and it hasn't totally changed at all.   Chenai Kadungure ** 31:16 That's actually very true, I think. Yeah, even when we think of like some of the ideas in business, right? We have now you scale and all of that has its own culture. And it's like it's either you do this or you fail. So it's Yeah, I think yeah, there is always still a bit of a bit more bravery required to, to fully show up as yourself.   Michael Hingson ** 31:38 So what do doctors do in Canada? And they all feel they have to be dressed up and all that? Or can they just hide under scrubs and a long white coat?   Chenai Kadungure ** 31:48 Well, interestingly enough, I think our membership is 80% family physicians. And so I feel like that's one sort of track where people can still sort of like, you know, have the beat of their own drum. So you will have people where, you know, to give you an example, like we've got this one PDF, PDF constructor, I really enjoy her content, and she has like she had pink hair the other day. And I think it's because she's working in peds, maybe this, this doesn't, maybe she went with her pink hair somewhere else. They might not be as much of an openness. But I do find that where there's a little bit more flexibility. I think in general, there are some professions that stick more to the what I call the monochrome The monochrome or the gray or the you know that they're not really about being colorful, whether it's actually wearing color or being open to too much difference. So I must say, I think because our doctors have had to sort of like be in settings where they can't be themselves, I think when they come to our events and things like that they embrace being fully themselves. So I probably haven't seen them in their buttoned up nests as much. And you'll get certain specialties where I think the buttoned up list is just the way they are. But the minute they're off duty, there's someone else. So there are people living like double lives I feel as well right in certain professions. So for me, those are the things that are interesting that I think 1015 years down the line, it's going to look different. I think we're gonna have people be more authentic most of the time. Oh, you're Peter   Michael Hingson ** 33:23 pink hair, she must be a fan of Harry Potter and, and tungsten or something like that. Hmm.   Chenai Kadungure ** 33:30 Probably working with children, I'm sure you know, there's a lot of Harry Potter. And   Michael Hingson ** 33:38 so how does authenticity, change the world or, or create hope? Do you think?   Chenai Kadungure ** 33:46 I honestly think that there is so much labor and performance. So if I think of the way I get to show up as a black woman in so many spaces, because I'm working in my community and things like that, there's a little bit less translation. So you know, people talk about code switching, and having to be someone else at work and someone else with their friends. I feel I'm I'm really lucky in the way I get to show up as myself. I often joke that I'm in formal that when we think of how formalized workplaces are. And yet so many people are performing, right, the minute they leave the office, they feel they can literally lift their head down and be themselves. My hope is that we can get to a point where when we are at work, we can be ourselves in that same way. And I think we saw it even during the pandemic, right a lot of people got to where their trackpants while on calls and they were so relieved that they could now be comfortable in the workplace. And that's that's how I see it if you have to be uncomfortable to do something that I think is a challenge. We I think we've always put it as propriety and I feel like that, that I theory of propriety has always meant that they, you know, there's a lot of discomfort that you have to just accept. And knowing that that doesn't have to be, I think, makes us a little bit more open minded. And the more open minded we are, the more empathetic we can be. I do think we should evolve past thinking that if I haven't experienced that, I can't relate to it. Like, I don't need to go hungry for a night to understand that hunger is not great. You know what I mean? I don't need to be homeless, to know that stressing about where to sleep is a problem. And so by the same token, for me exactly what we're talking about, like, I shouldn't be surprised when I get into an elevator. And this actually like, sounds I'm like, I should expect every elevator to have those sounds, because it means when they built this building, they thought about everyone. Yeah.   35:55 Well, and I think that there is a lot to be said for empathy, empathy. And that's kind of what you're talking about I, I oftentimes encounter people who tell me how horrible it is to be blind and what it's like to be blind. And I do say to them, the biggest problem is you've never tried it. Because we don't internalize it, we make assumptions. Rather than understanding and I agree with you, one doesn't need to be homeless to understand it. And one doesn't necessarily need to be hungry to understand it. But it does require us thinking about it. Hmm,   Chenai Kadungure ** 36:32 definitely like, yeah, if I, I guess, like, what you with what you're saying, if it is something I have no idea about, I think also just a level of curiosity. Right? Because that made me think that's also what's missing. Like, if I don't understand why am I not curious about it? Why am I not Yeah, trying to figure something out, because it's not, it's not something new, like what we see. But in every phase of your life, you're probably going to be encountering things. And so the small example I could give us, I remember once going to $1 store. And I saw an old lady there. And she was sort of like struggling with the, you know, like with her cart, her cart was really, really full, and the escalator and the elevator and the place was not working. And so I was like, this, this plate like this, in this building the escalator the elevator, wasn't working for two years. And I said to you know, I said to one of my friends, I can't believe it's been almost two years, and they haven't fixed this. And of course, this is $1. I'm in the middle of Toronto downtown, like you are in a Dollarama. This person is probably even economically not in the best position. And you want to give them an extra struggle, of just being able to access the space. And yeah, for me, it really just blew my mind. I really thought about that. And I was like, wow, two years. Like for two years, they've been okay with the fact that like, oh, people can ask access. There's only Dollarama in like three square kilometers, by the way. So yeah, it's yeah, the mind still boggles. I think that's the thing. I wish we could have empathy injections.   Michael Hingson ** 38:08 We need something Yeah, it is, it's important that we be more curious. And that's again, something that we don't necessarily see a lot. I've talked a few times about people and the podcast where we we choose not to be curious, or we're taught not to be curious. You know, we talked about the disability issue a while ago. And oftentimes, little kids would want to come over and talk to me or my wife, who was in a wheelchair her whole life she just passed last November. But she, you know, we would we would hear kids or see kids, I want to go ask this lady something or I want to go pet that dog because I have a guide dog and all that. And, and the parents would say, oh, no, you don't want to do that you might offend them. And this and that. The other stuff. And the bottom line is, we discourage curiosity. And the kids are naturally curious. And most of us understand that it would love nothing better than to answer any questions. And sometimes I've actually, when I heard those discussions, I'll go over and I'll say, Wait a minute. You want to pet the dog? I'll take the harness off and explain why I'm taking the harness off. Now you can pet the dog. Do you know what the dog does? Or I've seen my wife Karen go over and say, What do you want to know about the wheelchair? And the parents are being embarrassed? But they don't understand that it's a wonderful teaching moment. Absolutely.   Chenai Kadungure ** 39:33 And if anything, I think children actually understand empathy. At such a higher rate than a lot of us. I think a lot of us get a bit more cynical when we get older. Because when I think of a lot of the conversations we've had about identity, I feel like because children don't expect people to show up in a certain way. They just accept everyone. So what did they call it like the cats During thereafter, word is openness. But I think because children are imaginative for them, it's, I don't see why, why they can be different kinds of people, and just have it that way. So yeah, I really had to think about that. And even this thing of like something as small as our friendship circles, you know exactly what you're saying, you're like, do we just stick with people who are exactly like us, and we never, and we close our world even more,   Michael Hingson ** 40:26 all too often. Which is really part of the issue. And again, as I said, with children, we're teaching them not to be curious. We're teaching them not to be open, rather than encouraging that curiosity and that openness, which would be a much more wonderful thing and make the world a much better place. Because if they grew up curious, then they would continue to explore. Richard Fineman, who was one of the very famous physicists from the 50s and 60s and well in the 40s. And one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century wrote a book entitled, surely you're joking Mr. Fineman adventures of a curious fellow and even in the first chapter, he says his father pushed him always to be curious. And he grew up, continuing to have a curious mind, which I think is extremely important for all of us to do.   Chenai Kadungure ** 41:23 Wow. I love that. Because I think also, it's lately, I've been calling it curiosity over conviction. I think part of what leads us into little boxes is some of these things that are convictions that really should have just been curiosities, right that, like, is this thing really, as important? Will this really change the world or shatter the world? And if we put some of those things where they should be placed, right, it's like, okay, this is just a preference. It's not like something really huge. I feel like, yeah, we'd explore more we'd, we'd be more curious. And I think even when we look at the nature of how they do dialogues, it's always exactly that. It's saying, if you can hold space, and say, my view is my own, but it's not the only view. And just accepting that small thing. It's like, it's amazing how all of a sudden problems became opportunities and possibilities. So I do think there's, there's some power there.   Michael Hingson ** 42:24 Yeah. Well, and we all have our own views. But do you think it's also appropriate for us to have a mindset that says, Okay, I've got my own view. I like my idea. But you know, what, I'm willing to listen. And if somebody says something that really makes me change, that's okay.   Chenai Kadungure ** 42:42 Absolutely. To me, that's the curiosity, right? If I am saying anything that isn't this answer is wrong. I'm also preventing, I guess, cross learning to happen, right. And so I think that that whole, really thinking about, there's a reason how this, like why this view got built in the first place more often than not, yeah, a mixture of it might have been things we were told, right? So we may not have given it a lot of thought, and we talked to someone else. And then we're like, Huh, that's interesting, and you think of something in a different way. But a large part of it as well is our what we call frame of reference, right? If my frame of references, these 123 experiences are the most important, and it shapes my opinion about this thing. If I talk to someone or the different one, I get to just like, encounter a whole new world, it goes back to what I was saying about why I enjoy traveling, right? That just seeing something done differently, or seeing the same thing I worry about, be perceived as something happy. I'll just give you an example. There's a colleague of mine, and she and she's always posting on LinkedIn about ADHD is her superpower. And I always thought like, Hmm, interesting, interesting, interesting. But now it's like it gave me it gave me a different view of like, oh, we actually overthink some of these things and be like, Oh, this is something that actually makes you different and makes you operate in the world in a different way. And that's a good thing. And that is changing the language of it. And so for me, I think there's that that oh, we can we can open our world so much if we you know, Judge, listen, put things in boxes.   Michael Hingson ** 44:22 People often have have asked me over the years, where you're blind, do you want to see or don't you want to see? And, you know, I understand eyesight well enough to recognize that. It offers some things but as I tell people, full probably because it'd be a new adventure. But if I don't, it's not going to be the end of the world. Because in reality, eyesight just offers us another lane on the road to travel that we all do. And we've got to stop thinking that One way is less than another way. That's I think the biggest issue is we've made value judgments as to what is and is not. Which is why I always have. And I've learned this, especially during this podcast to not like the term visually impaired because visually impaired first of all, visually, I'm not different, because I'm blind. But this is the way that professionals have treated it for so long. But the other part is impaired. And that is, I shouldn't be compared to someone based on how much vision I have. If you're a deaf person, your community doesn't like hearing impaired, and you're liable to be shot. If you call a deaf person hearing impaired. It's deaf or hard of hearing. And likewise, with blind people that should be blind or low vision, forget the concept of impaired, it puts a stigma on us. And again, I think that goes back to what we were talking about earlier that helps the bad mistakes that we face.   Chenai Kadungure ** 46:02 Absolutely. And I think also with what you were talking about earlier, honestly, it's also that I feel like you have a different kind of site, there's more of an insight that comes in understanding something using a different sense, because you want to be able to say, What's it like to taste this thing? Or do you know, like, I feel like we don't really value? How do I say the exploring of the world in that way? Because there's a whole world that you encounter that I I still need to understand, because I rely so much on this. So I think it's also thinking of that in a different way. Exactly like what you're saying it's not. I think it's that lack of curiosity again. Describe it. So lack of curiosity.   46:47 Yeah, well, and it is something that we hopefully over time will learn to counteract, and that we will help children and adults be more curious. And there's nothing or shouldn't be anything wrong with being curious.   Chenai Kadungure ** 47:07 Absolutely, so So I think if we so if we do a book together, it's no longer gonna be The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But we're going to, we're going to create more curious cases.   Michael Hingson ** 47:19 Nothing wrong with that. So, you know, something I've talked with a couple of people on unstoppable mindset about is imposter syndrome. And I understand it a little bit. And I talked to one person who realized he had it and was able to deal with it. But how does impostor syndrome shrink or affect authenticity? Because I would, I would think that, since the whole concept of impostor syndrome is becoming more of a topic of discussion, that it affects other things. And one of the things that seems to me that is worth discussing is how it affects authenticity. Absolutely.   Chenai Kadungure ** 48:05 I, I think impostor syndrome has to do with that fear of not showing up the way other people want you to show up. So it still gives that power to the external, right. And yet, ironically, I think that there was always that same thing that they say, when your internal validation is low. That is when you want the external validation. And so I think when we're in a space of imposter syndrome, we feel we don't measure up for other people. And that somehow impacts the way we view even ourselves. And yet, honestly, if we just were humble enough to even get over ourselves, and just say, I'm in this space, and I've been given room to speak or do this thing. It's more the happiness of being there should allow you to actually be even more, how do I say, like, more vocal or more like, use the space that's actually been given to you. It's literally giving someone a platform and saying here, your voice is going to mean something in this room, and then you decide to actually, you know, quiet in yourself, and you say, I'd rather not speak because I don't feel like I should be here. And so I think it's a goes back to what you're saying of a value judgment. We use some strange lens to decide that we're an impostor. We're literally pretending to be in this place we shouldn't be in. And yet, I think exactly like what you said most people have gone through stages in their life when they felt that and I think they say a lot of women have it because again, you know, the some of the societal things we're still working out. were made to feel like you should actually, you know, be grateful that you're here so you feel like you don't measure up. But yeah, that's it's hard to be authentic then because you don't even have a good sense of who you are. At that point. Right at that stage. You're not seeing what value you're bringing to the table or to the room. But if you were to hold on to those nuggets that you could bring to that place, see it as an opportunity to have an opportunity to say something or do something or make an impact. If we see that as an opportunity or not, oh my gosh, I'm just going to fail so badly. When I fail so badly and just ruined everything. And yet it's like no, like, do the positive. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 50:24 Do you think that most people deep down, really know what they feel, but they're just afraid to deal with it. And so things like impostor syndrome or on authentic or inauthentic, things take over, but that they really know. And that that adds to the stress.   Chenai Kadungure ** 50:42 So it's like layers of so the the barriers other people can put in front of you, but then they're the worst ones that you then put in front of yourselves. And so I definitely think that if we could like, you know, my one of my, whenever when I had burnout, I remember that someone has like, we all have malware. We all have certain malware and but if we can actually do a virus scan and look and see what are the lies that are like that are that I am carrying in my life? And how are they holding me back? And actually having a conversation with them? Not so much ignoring them? Because I do think we like to go with the distraction, but having a conversation with them, you actually understand that like you'd never say this to someone else. So why would you say to yourself, all right. Yeah, we're our harshest critics.   Michael Hingson ** 51:31 Well, I reversed that and say, I really think that we need to get away from that negativity. And we should say, we're our best teachers. And we really need to do that. But that's, of course, the problem is, and I did it for many years, I'm my own worst critic, because I would listen to my presentations, the public speeches that I give, and learn from them. But I always said, I do it. Because I'm my own worst critic. Well, what I really realized was, I'm my own best teacher. And if when I started doing that, it, it changed the whole dynamic of even listening to the recordings that I make.   Chenai Kadungure ** 52:11 Oh, that's prophecy. I love that because that is that then is even the failing forward. So even if you did something and thought, that wasn't great. The next day, you've already got some experience to learn from where's this someone who's not even getting the experience because they're so afraid to even fail? That's like, the worst place to be?   Michael Hingson ** 52:30 Well, and failure. Again, I agree with some of the motivational people who say failure is really just an opportunity. And it is it's an opportunity to learn and grow. And we should never beat ourselves up over failing, but rather ask ourselves, all right, what happened? That didn't go just quite the way I wanted? How do we deal with it?   Chenai Kadungure ** 52:50 Absolutely. And I also love I think it was a Sara Blakely, the the lady who founded Spanx at her dad every time she got home, used to ask her, How did you fail today, and that was something they would celebrate, finding out about something they cared about. And I, I always loved that idea of like, again, there's a language we use. It is I make judgment calls about like, you did this thing, you got the F I mean, everyone knows what that red F feels like, right? And yet, it's exactly that it's like, oh, an opportunity to to learn something or whatever, that will be a different way of viewing the situation.   Michael Hingson ** 53:25 Yeah. And I think turning things into a more positive thing, rather than beating yourself up, like using expressions such as I, my own best teacher, changed the whole dynamic in an incredible and swift way. Which is, I think, extremely important for us to do, what you know, with you dealing with physicians and so on, and of course, in our world today, we've gone through a lot of different crises. What do you think that people need the most in a recession or depression? And why do you think it? Well, I   Chenai Kadungure ** 54:01 think it is they do need hope. Right? Hope is Hope is an element, but I think it's such a critical thing. But then I also think that it is what was it like? Somewhat like a personal kindness? And I think we need to reinforce how do I say reinforce, I forgot I forgot where my forgot group I think was depression.   Michael Hingson ** 54:29 Recession. Yes.   Chenai Kadungure ** 54:31 That's what it's like. I think there is so much depression in a well actually we can call it might be a depression, they might call it a depression 10 years from now, I don't know. But I think it's implied in the name right? That it's everything around you is going to want to pull you down. And we need to understand things that help us go in that in that opposite direction. And so for me, I think it's sometimes it's small things like sometimes I'll filter out filter out news So I get actually give myself a news fast. And sometimes I'll even do something if it's behaviorally, complaints fast, I literally, sometimes will say, I'm not going to complain about something for X number of days. Because I remember there was research that said, your brain chemistry even changes when you like, complain consistently. And so exactly what you said, the power, life and death in the power of the tongue. There's, there's so much there, but what we say to a situation. And so I think we always see the soft stuff, the frilly stuff as the things that, you know, don't matter. But that's what keeps societies going. I mean, I'm sure when FDR was weakening people, you know, in 1929, there's something there, there was a hope that he was bringing that gave him what I don't know how many terms ended up having three or four.   Michael Hingson ** 55:49 Or, well, he died during the fourth, but yeah, for hope, yeah. And people understood it, I collect old radio shows as a hobby. And I contrast how the media is today, and how programs are and the people as opposed to the way they were in the 30s and 40s, around the war, and all that, and there was a lot more rallying and supportiveness than there is today. And we just look for ways to criticize and can tear everything down, and we don't look and understand. And again, it all goes back also to curiosity and not wanting to be confused with the facts.   Chenai Kadungure ** 56:38 And I think also share, shared, trying to experience the shared experience together. If I, if I remember that time when we were so we had one of the longest lock downs, right? One of the longest long downs in the world. But one of the things that was the first time I saw positive messages on the news. So I wondered about that, you know, this whole thing where we always say we want hard news. And we riddle people with these, like things that are just going to make them feel afraid, feel angry, feel like all kinds of negative emotions. And yet there was an intentionality to positivity then because they're like, people are in their homes, and we really need to care about their mental health and things like that. And I'm like, why should that be a lockdown thing? Why can that be a way of being? Why can we have that kind of balance? I mean, if you think about it back then exactly like you said, the radio show is some thread that connected millions of people back then, now we just have our own little echo chambers all over, we're just even more disconnected and isolated than ever before. In the UK, they have a ministry of loneliness. That is how bad it is where you literally have a ministry dedicated to the problem of loneliness. So I think that there is hope unites people in a way that fear and anger and hate and all these things, you know, it's an opposition to that, right. So yeah, I think let's do that. Let's have a new currency of hope.   mi ** 58:04 There you go. Well, here's a question. What compensation is the world not having, but we should be having?   Chenai Kadungure ** 58:14 There's so many.   Michael Hingson ** 58:17 Yes, there are.   Chenai Kadungure ** 58:18 There's so many. I think the one is on honesty around nuance. We've touched on it a few times today. But this being of zero sum, we have such a zero sum language nowadays that just kind of cuts conversations off we're killing our curiosity that way and so everything is talked about from an angle from an agenda if it's like, if it's done this way, even the algorithm will push you more to you just need to click on one thing and you're gonna get a slew of other things that are reinforcing that idea and yet I feel we need more just exploration that curiosity and say, oh, you know, what makes this thing bad? What makes this thing good? Let me wait for myself. But there isn't that anymore. It's literally to you.   Michael Hingson ** 59:05 And the conversation Why Can't We Be curious is definitely an issue.   Chenai Kadungure ** 59:15 So it's interesting if we think of exactly like what you're saying in schools, maybe the curiosity is still there because kids are younger, but what is happening to us later on in life that dance that curiosity altogether? Well,   Michael Hingson ** 59:29 the problem is that so many people are growing up, learning not to be curious and being discouraged from being curious and so they pass it on.   Chenai Kadungure ** 59:39 Oh, that's a hole you've opened a hole that opens a can of worms. A lack of curiosity. I'm like, oh, that's its own. Wow. Yeah, cuz because if you can give, if you can give trauma and everything else based on experiences, you could give whole world views based on the you know, I'm not curious Why should you be curious? You know, I think that's the conversation that ends up happening.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:05 But if you go back and look at why am I not curious and you go back and study it, it's probably because you were discouraged. I'm sure there are some people who are born. Not curious. But generally, I suspect that it's we're discouraged from being curious.   Chenai Kadungure ** 1:00:20 Absolutely. I'd say with one, one thing as well, since we've we've had a lot of new things thrown at us, I would say in the past 15 years, they're just things that did not exist 15 years ago, and we just been riddled with them. I think there is an element of, we just don't even get to process anything. Right? So forget even curiosity. We haven't even begun to look at how something like the pandemic really impacted all of us. Right? We don't even have the time to do that. Because one crisis after the next. And so I think there's also some of that we're just surviving, that it's like, curiosity seems like a luxury. So how do we get out of that, like, just surviving?   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:05 It's very good point. We can do it. But we don't. And again, there's a lot of our politicians discourage it. So you know, there's that's another story, but we won't go there. Well, I want to thank you for being with us. This has been fun. Do you know we've been doing this for over an hour. So yeah, see, and you didn't even say you were hungry. Although I know it's late back there. But this has been a lot of fun. If people want to reach out to you maybe learn more about the association or learn more about you? How might they do that? Oh,   Chenai Kadungure ** 1:01:40 well, definitely. They can. I mean, they can email me email me. I am ed@bpao.org. Bravo, Papa, alpha. October. I don't know if I still have my phone and expect close. And also, they can go to the website as well. www.bpao.org Or they can search me on LinkedIn. I think you did a good job of trying to say my name, but I'm sure they can. You know, see.   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:12 My you said   Chenai Kadungure ** 1:02:13 Chenai Kadungure.   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:17 There you go. Oh,   Chenai Kadungure ** 1:02:19 thank you so much.

Last summer, news reports of orcas deliberately tearing the propellers off of yachts in the Strait of Gibraltar thrilled observers who were eager to cast these intelligent and social pack hunters as class warriors striking a blow for the “common mammals” against the one percent. That turned out to be wishful thinking, according to guest Lori Marino, a biopsychologist who studies whale and dolphin intelligence. She told us that these six-ton whales were just having fun—if they wanted to harm the occupants of those boats, we'd know it. Even so, these encounters are becoming a predictable seasonal occurrence between the months of May and August: A 50-foot charter vessel sank after its hull and rudder were damaged in an orca encounter near the Strait of Gibraltar on May 12. So here again is our episode on the perils of assigning human motives to wild animals, featuring Marino and Smithsonian assistant digital science editor Carlyn Kranking. This episode was originally released in September 2023.  Dr. Marino invites you to learn more about The Whale Sanctuary Project at their site.

Last time we spoke about Operation Thursday and the ferocious counteroffensive on Bougainville. The Chindits embarked on their second great raid, this time better equipped, better trained and more numerous than ever. With a literal armada of beasts of burden they marched through Burma, forded the Chindwin and began attacking and establishing strongholds. This was all done in coordination with Slim and Stilwell's forces, trying to break the Japanese and gradually seize back lost territory. Wingate had his work cut out for him as the Chindits were providing real results, yet unfortunately he would not have long to see them. Wingate was killed in a B-25 crash and it felt like the personality of the Chindits left with him. Over on Bougainville the Japanese tossed as much as they could to try and break through the Americans perimeter to hit the airfield, but it was all for naught.  This episode is the Bombing of Hollandia and Palau  Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

General Swift's 1st Cavalry Division successfully landed on Los Negros and managed to secure Seedler Harbor quickly. After this, General Chase's 1st Brigade was given the task of mopping up the island. By march 11th daily patrols had determined that the entire area from the Mokerang Peninsula to Southeast Point and as far west as Porlaka was generally free of the enemy. The 1st Squadron, 5th Cavalry pushed its perimeter at Momote west and south to the water barriers of Lemondrol Creek and Ihon Lagoon. The 12th Cavalry beachhead at Salami continuously patrolled into the interior and encountered so few Japanese that it was clear the enemy lacked sufficient numbers to harass the troops on the peninsula. West of Lemondrol Creek  was a completely different story. While the troops holding the beachheads from Lombrum to Papitalai waited for supply channels to be established, they probed to locate the center of enemy resistance. The 12th Cavalry was responsible for the beachheads at Papitalai Mission and Lombrum. The 2nd Squadron had captured Papitalai Mission and on the 11th the 1st Squadron took over Lombrum Point, relieving the 7th Cavalry so they could attack Manus Island. The 5th Cavalry held the Papitalai perimeter with Troop F. When that regiment extended its control over the area east of Lemondrol and Porharmenemen Creeks on the 11th, the 2nd Squadron moved into the Porlaka area while the 1st Squadron on the left flank was concentrated near Southeast Point. It was planned that the 12th Cavalry would do most of its fighting in the northern sector moving inland from the coastal positions to cut oil the Japanese hammered at by the 5th Cavalry as it pushed west on both sides of Lemondrol Creek. Since the 8th, every Troop F patrol from Papitalai had run into enemy resistance in the hilly country to the west. Although small patrols of squad size or slightly larger were held up day after day by resistance about 800 yards west of Papitalai, these first encounters did not reveal the full strength of the enemy pocket. When an attack by a platoon of Troop E, reinforced by two tanks, two bazookas, and flamethrowers, was repulsed on the 11th, the strength of the enemy strongpoint became clearer. The enemy was well dug in along the ridge, marked by a series of knobs, running west from Papitalai. The highest point, Hill 260, about 2,500 yards from Papitalai, not to be mistaken for Hill 260 on Bougainville by the way, this was probably the center of the enemies defense. However, on two knobs east of 260, well-defended outposts prevented any movement farther into the interior. The position 800 yards from Papitalai which had repulsed Troop E was defended by a platoon with knee mortars and at least 3 machine guns. The total enemy strength facing the 5th Cavalry was estimated at 150 to 200 Japanese.  Now that was the ongoings of Los Negros, but Brigadier General Verne Mudge's 2nd Brigade was now preparing to invade Manus island. American intelligence was unsure of the disposition of the enemy on Manus. A rough estimate was that 2700 Japanese were concentrated there and would most likely make a stand at Lorengau. The Americans expected the Japanese would put up a last losing fight. But because of the lack of knowledge of their numbers and disposition on the largest island of the Admiralties, this would require careful planning for the invasion. Fighting into the interior where the mountain range would provide defensive positions and through the swampy forests covering the rest of the island would not be easy. There were only 4 roads winding about the island and converging at Lorengau would be suitable for moving vehicles, and long stretches of these red-clay roads would be impassable in rainy weather. Surrounding jungle and swamps would confine any large-scale movement to the roads. Therefore, the plan was to pin the enemy to the coast where it was hoped he had concentrated his main strength. Mudge planned to land Troops A and C of the 8th cavalry regiment at the Yellow beaches of Lugos Mission. When the 8th Cavalry had secured a beachhead, including the Lugos Mission itself, each squadron would advance east, the 1st Squadron along the coast using the Number Three Road, and the 2nd along an inland road known as the Number One Road, to execute a wide sweep toward Lorengau. If a sizeable garrison was concentrated at fortified Lorengau, the inland arm of this attack would prevent the enemy from escaping along the only road leading west to the mountain areas. Prior to the assault, 3 patrols had been sent to Bear Point on Manus and on the islands of Butjo Luo and Hauwei. Mudge planned to deploy artillery at these places to aid in his assault. Bear Point was found to have no enemy, but unfortunately it was not a suitable place for artillery placement. The northern island of Butjo Luo was an excellent site for artillery and was found to be unoccupied. Hauwei would turn out to be another story. The American  patrol moved out from Salami on an LCV and a PT boat, landing without opposition on the western end of the island. Major Carter S. Vaden of the 99th Field Artillery Battalion, threw two grenades into a well camouflaged bunker about 10 yards from the beach and the party progressed inland. Immediately after the grenade explosions, a mortar shell landed on the beach in the rear of the party. From three sides, machine-gun, rifle, and mortar fire opened up. Fortunately, the grenades had evidently sprung a planned ambush prematurely and the party was not cut off from the rear. Using their submachine guns, the men of the patrol were able to hold back the enemy. They were aided by some supporting fire from the PT Boat and the .30-caliber machine gun of the LCV. After 2 and a half hours they managed to withdraw to the water's edge. The PT boat had returned to its tender after the commanding officer was wounded, and the coxswain of the LCV shouted and motioned for the cavalrymen to get on board, but only five of them reached the boat, as the others were engaged with the enemy on shore. The LCV had troubles of its own; enemy mortar and machine-gun fire found its range and wounded all on board except two. Then the LCV grounded on submerged coral and sank 200 yards offshore after receiving a direct hit from a mortar. The wounded men, put into lifejackets, floated about in the water. When the remaining members of the patrol on shore were wading out toward the LCV, 6 Japanese attempted to set up a machine gun on the beach. The men cut them down with their submachine guns. Still under fire, the cavalrymen swam out to the survivors of the LCV, making a group of 18 men out in the water. Failing to attract the notice of the destroyers nearby, the tired men had to stay in the water for 3 hours until a PT boat picked them up. At the same time a destroyer closed in to the island to draw hostile fire and bombard enemy positions on the western end. Hauwei was going to need extra help to be secured. The 2nd Squadron, 7th cavalry departed from Lombrum Point on the 11th and landed on Butjo Luo. The next day, Destroyer gunfire and rockets as well as 105-mm concentrations from the 61st Field Artillery Battalion at Mokerang point battered Hauwei. Then Kittyhawks of the 77th Pursuit Squadron at Momote airfield bombed and strafed the Hauwei. After all of this, the 2nd Squadron landed on Hauwei meeting slight resistance at the beach. They advanced 300 yards further inland where they became pinned down by heavy rifle, machine gun and mortar fire. The Japanese were firing upon them from some bunkers, prompting the 2nd Squadron to dig in and allow the artillery teams to hit them throughout the night. During the night the 61st Field Artillery Battalion from the north end of Mokerang Plantation fired 1,000 rounds to harass the enemy. This fire was directed so accurately and carefully that it was brought down on the enemy within 100 yards of the cavalrymen's positions without any casualties to our troops, and helped minimize enemy activity during the night.  At 10am on the 13th, with the support of a medium tank, the cavalrymen stormed the bunkers along the edges of the island. The Japanese put up a valiant fight, but they lacked anti-tank weaponry. By 12pm, the 2nd Squadron successfully mopped up the enemy, suffering 8 deaths and 46 wounded. They estimated they had killed 43 Japanese who were all naval personnel. Having secured the two islands, now one artillery battalion set up at Butjo Luo and two others upon Hauwei. The next day at 7:00am the 3 artillery battalions opened fire upon the Lorengau Township area. This target was chosen to divert the enemy's attention from the landing beaches around Lugos Mission. Meanwhile 4 destroyers bombarded Lorengau with their 5-inch guns. Then 18 B-25's from  Nadzab bombed and strafed the Lugos Mission and the beach areas until H - 5 minutes. Between 9:07 and 9:25, they dropped 81 500-pound bombs, strafed with more than 44,000 rounds of machine-gun fire, and cleared the target just as the troops were coming ashore.   The 8th cavalry departed Salami, heading for the Yellow Beaches covered by 3 rocket boats. The wave of buffaloes drew up to the beaches, and it appeared that they were going to make it without opposition until an enemy machine gun opened up from east of the landing beaches. Immediately the buffaloes responded with their own machine-gun fire, and two PT boats closed in to support. With 100 rounds from a flak boat added to this fire the machine gun was silenced. Two waves of landing craft followed the buffaloes to the shore in rapid succession and the narrow beaches, backed either by jungle or a high bluff, were soon congested with assault troops. On the eastern beach, Troop A began a vigorous drive toward Lugos Mission and the Number Three Road leading to the Lorengau airdrome. Captain Raymond J. Jennings, led the troops to storm the bluff where Lugos Mission was located and overran the mission before the few Japanese who had survived the bombardment could put up effective opposition. The men worked their way into the mission compound and cleared out the area with grenades. Troop A was soon on its way along Number Three Road leaving behind it, some 20 dead SNLF, without the loss of a single cavalryman. Meanwhile Troop C advanced west 800 yards to a ridge where they stopped and dug in, having accomplished their mission of establishing a defensive perimeter to protect the landing of successive elements. Other waves of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons began landing ashore as the 7th cavalry took up the beachhead. The 2nd squadron advanced over some ridges towards the Number One Road, while Troop A reduced enemy bunkers progressing roughly a mile from the beach. By 11:20am, they came across 3 mutually-supporting bunkers that halted their advance. It took Troop B's support alongside artillery and aerial bombardment to destroy the bunkers to they could advance. Meanwhile the 1st Squadron emerged out of the jungle into a clearing at 5pm, where they occupied a ridge overlooking the southern edge of the airdrome, where they would dig in. The 2nd Squadron reached Number One Road, where they ran into 3 bunkers. The following morning with tank support the squadron overran the bunkers and advanced northeast towards Lorengau. The cavalrymen would destroy 7 bunkers during their trek, before halting 100 yards before Lorengau. To the north, Troop A was clearing a coconut grove north of the airstrip, from which Japanese snipers were harassing them throughout the night. Troop C advanced along the southern edge near the airstip where they came across another pack of bunkers. Since the snipers north of the strip had been cleared out by noon, an attack could be made in the open. Troop B, supported by light tanks on their left advanced down the strip, followed by Troop D and the squadron HQ. Troop A advanced across the strip and then east along the north edge. By 1:00pm Troop C managed to destroy two bunkers using grenades, forcing the Japanese inhabitants to flee out into the open where they were cut down. Troop C then was about to dash across the airstrip when they suddenly became pinned down by friendly fire from Troop B who were trying to disengage the enemy before them. The 1st squadron suffered 9 deaths and 19 wounded during the action. Mudge then ordered them to relieve Troop C, who were holding some high ground south of the airstrip.  On the morning of the 17th after extensive naval and artillery bombardment, Mudge launched a coordinated attack with the 2nd Squadron advancing south of the airstrip and the 1st Squadron assaulting the bunkers that had held up the 8th cavalry's advance. The bombardments had nearly annihilated the bunkers, allowing the 1st squadron to face only slight resistance. They soon attacked a secondary Japanese position further east upon a ridge. This position was also met with artillery and mortar fire and would fall by 11:30am. After this the cavalrymen were able to obliterate the remaining pillboxes and advance across the pulverized airstrip. Meanwhile the 2nd Squadron of the 7th and 8th cavalry regiments linked up along the Number One Road near Lorengau. The 8th Cavalry had encountered little resistance on the road, destroying whatever bunkers were encountered with the aid of fire from medium tanks. The light tank accompanying the squadron had a track blown off by the first Japanese anti tank mine encountered in the operation. By 1pm, all the front-line troops around the airstrip to Number one Road linked up forming a general advance. By this point the backbone of the enemies resistance had been broken, leaving little to resistance them. For the next 1,500 yards to the river, it took them  2 hours because the Japanese had hurriedly put in large quantities of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. They had been emplaced, however, with no prepared plan, and many were poorly camouflaged or left lying completely on the surface. The Japanese had also dug holes and refilled them without emplacing any mines. As the cavalrymen slowly made their way to the river, they suffered a few casualties from the mines. The 7th cavalry reached the Lorengau River by 3pm, from there they dispatched a reconnaissance platoon who quickly came under fire from bunkers atop some hills overlooking Lorengau. Lorengau was sheltered in a valley surrounded by jungle-covered hills rising to 400 feet. The Japanese believed an attack would come from the sea, thus many of their defenses were sited to cover the shoreline. The offshore approaches and the three roads entering the settlement from the east, south, and north were also covered by defensive positions. From the position held by the 2nd Brigade, the only approach to the town was over a sandbar at the mouth of the Lorengau River, a slow-moving stream 20 yards wide and 10 to 20 feet deep, except at the sandbar. The beach area, which the troops would then have to cross, was heavily protected. Naval demolition mines, containing 20 pounds of black powder and detonated by a master switch located in a control bunker up the hillside, covered the beach. About 100 yards inland from the beach a series of rifle pits and gun emplacements were constructed on the side of a dike which paralleled the shore. On the hills surrounding the harbor, beach, and town about a dozen heavy bunkers were used to reinforce the fires of beach defenses and to add depth to the position. As usual these bunkers were carefully camouflaged, although the concentration of naval and artillery fire as well as repeated bombings had disclosed the location of several. Mudge ordered the men to dig in for the night on the west bank of the river and establish a perimeter defense against some expected counterattacks that would not develop in the end. The next morning, after a mortar and artillery bombardment, the 2nd Squadron, 8th Cavalry advanced down from its ridge positions to the mouth of the broad river, with its Reconnaissance Platoon leading. Upon fording the river, the cavalrymen only faced a handful of machine-guns. Facing almost no opposition, the squadron was thus able to secure Lorengau, counting 87 dead Japanese in the remains of the town.  Colonel Ezaki seemed to have disappeared during the battle over Papitalai leaving his men leaderless. The Japanese naval troops in desperation began retreating towards Rossum, with American patrols hot on their trail. There would be a furious fight down the Rossum Road. 1st Lt. James M. Concannon captured an enemy map of the area during his patrol to which he exclaimed, "Well, here goes Concannon to get himself a Purple Heart!" Lt. Concannon's platoon had been ordered to go along Number Two Road which went to Rossum and from there to Kelaua Harbor, through the heart of the Japanese defenses indicated on the captured map. Hardly had the platoon crossed the outpost line still held by Troop E along Number Two Road when it came under fire from a pair of bunkers sited to cover the track. Lieutenant Concannon and one of his men were wounded. The platoon sergeant assumed command and attempted to flank the position. When the attempt was not successful, the sergeant decided to withdraw and report, as his mission was one of reconnaissance. Upon receiving the information that the enemy was in position not 200 yards from the outpost line, Colonel Bradley directed Major Shore to send Troop A back up the track to neutralize the enemy position. The troop was reinforced with machine guns and two 37-mm antitank guns.  Troop A of the 8th cavalry were ordered to deal with the newly discovered enemy bunkers. Corporal Peter J. Armstrong and Armando V. Valencia set their heavy machine-gun in position at a range of 30 yards from one of the bunkers. Having disclosed his position by laying a continuous burst of fire on the bunker, Corporal Armstrong was wounded by sniper fire. Armstrong continued firing until a grenade knocked him unconscious. Although the gun had been hit in several places and was leaking a steady stream from its water jacket, Corporal Valencia took over and continued firing at the bunker slits until the machine-gun froze; then he fired with his submachine-gun until it was knocked out of his hands by an enemy bullet. In the meantime the mortars had obtained four direct hits on the bunkers, and the anti-tank guns had made two. Corporals Armstrong and Valencia were later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, and for its action during the day Troop A was given a unit citation.  After taking out the stubborn position, Troop A advanced along the road under heavy sniper fire, until they were relieved by Troop C. Troop C immediately was met with a heavy Japanese counterattack shortly after nightfall. The counterattack was launched by 8 Japanese using rifle grenades and small arms. Considering the size of the attacking force, the casualties of the troop were heavy: 2 killed and 10 wounded. All the Japanese were killed, largely due to a quick adjustment by the forward observer of the 61st Field Artillery Battalion followed by four volleys fired for effect. By this point the Americans had achieved all their objectives for the Admiralty Islands campaign, the only thing left to do was mop up the islands. The remaining IJA troops were now withdrawing across the Loniu Passage over to Manus. The 8th cavalry were soon given the task of clearing the eastern end of Manus, while the 7th cavalry would clear out the Rossum Road. Yet that is all for this campaign as we are now heading over to New Guinea. General MacArthur was planning his new Western New Guinea offensive. After the directives given on March 12th, Admiral Nimitz had been instructed to provide support for his Hollandia operation. The Japanese began their occupation of Hollandia  early in April of 1942 but paid little attention to the region for a year. Then  Allied air reconnaissance disclosed that the enemy was constructing airfields on the Lake Sentani Plain. This development progressed slowly until late 1943, by which time successive reverses in the air and on the ground in eastern New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, together with increasing shipping losses in the same region, began to demonstrate to the Japanese the vulnerability of their air and supply bases east of Hollandia. In late 1943 and early 1944, the Japanese  built 3 airfields on the Lake Sentani Plain and started a fourth at Tami, on the seacoast east of Humboldt Bay. In addition, because of shipping losses east of Hollandia, the Japanese began to develop Humboldt Bay into a major supply base and transshipment point. Large ships would unload at Hollandia, whence cargo would be carried by barge to points southeast along the coast of New Guinea as far as Wewak over 215 miles away. Much of the cargo of the large ships remained at Hollandia to build up the base there. Admiral Nimitz decided to dispatch two fast carrier groups of Admiral Mitscher's Task Force 58 to conduct fighter sweeps against Hollandia and the Wakde-Sarmi area in order to keep their airfields neutralized. MacArthur south for the carries to support the troops for 8 days after the landings. But Nimitz believed this would put the carriers in risk, because the Japanese would be able to launch aircraft from all over the Dutch East Indies or even the Philippines. It was decided Task Force 58 would remain in the Hollandia region for only 3 days after the landings were made. As a result MacArthur opted to supplement using land-based aircraft against Hollandia. To obtain this he would need to capture an airfield in Northern New Guinea, just east of the main objective. He chose an Aitape, it was a lightly guarded area and already partially developed by the Japanese, such as the incomplete airfields around the Tadji Plantation. Once the men landed ashore at Aitape, allied forces could provide flank protection for Haollandia against any westward actions by the Japanese 18th Army. For the assault against Aitape, MacArthur planned to use the 8 escort carriers of Task Force 78 under the command of Rear Admiral Ralph E. Daviso. Now for the amphibious assault, Admiral Kinkaid gave the job to Admiral Barbey's task force 77 who were divided into 3 attack groups. They would bring over General Eichelberger's 1st corp who would perform the Hollandia operation, codenamed Operation Reckless. I think it is a pretty suitable name for a MacArthur operation. For the Hollandia part of the operation, the 19th and 21st regiments of Major General Frederick Irving's 24th division would land at Tanahmerah Bay; the 162nd and 186th regiments of General Fuller's 41st division would land at Humboldt Bay. For the operation against Aitape, codenamed Persecution, the 163rd regiment of the 41st division led by General Doe would perform the initial landings. To soften up the enemy, General Kenny's air forces began bombing Wewak and Hansa in mid March, then in early April they began neutralizing the airfields to try and deceive General Adachi into believing they were the next allied target. Additionally, MacArthur asked Admiral Spruance to perform a carrier raid against the Palau Islands, codenamed Operation Desecrate One, followed by strikes on Yap and Woleai in the eastern Carolines, in order to prevent the Japanese from reinforcing Western New Guinea. Admiral Mitscher's carriers departed Majuro on the 22nd of March and made their way around the Carolines, trying to sneak past Truk undetected. Despite their best efforts, Japanese search planes from Truk managed to spot them on their 3rd day at sea. This prompted Admiral Spruance to advance the day of the raid from April 1st to March 30th. Meanwhile after sighting the allied naval forces, Admiral Koga ordered an evacuation of Palau, seeing a large number of warships and merchant shipping flee the area for Tawi-Tawi. The US submarines Gar, Blackfish, Tang and Archerfish were stationed to operate against the withdrawing ships and as plane guards. On the 23rd, Tunny sank the Japanese submarine I-42 and damaged the 14,850-ton tanker Iro. To the north of Palau, during an attack on the 26th, Tullibee was hit and sunk by her own circling torpedo. Bashaw torpedoed a 4,317-ton freighter escorted by the destroyers Minazuki and Yuzuki. On the 29th, the super battleship Musashi departed Palau under cover of darkness to avoid an expected air raid, and encountered Tunny, which fired six torpedoes at the battleship; five of them missed, but the sixth blew a hole 5.8 meters in diameter near the bow, flooding her with 3000 tonnes of water. The torpedo hit killed 7 crewmen and wounded another 11. After temporary repairs, Musashi sailed for Japan later that night and arrived at Kure Naval Arsenal on April 3.  On the 30th, Task Force 58 reached its assembly point 90 miles south of the Palau Islands. The Task Force was met with a Japanese air strike consisting of mostly Betty's and Oscars who were easily swept aside. Then fast carriers Enterprise, Bunker Hill, Hornet, Yorktown and Lexington launched their first air strikes against Palaus. For the next day and a half, the Americans flew hundreds of sorties over these islands, striking the airfields and shooting down all planes they could find. The attacks saw 40 Japanese ships at Palau and Angaur sunk, another 4 were badly damaged. 93 aerial victories would be won over Palau and Avengers from Lexington, Bunker Hill and Hornet laid extensive mines around the channels and approaches to Palau. This was the first tactical aerial mining of the Pacific War performed by carrier aircraft. In response, Admiral Koga asked for help from neighboring islands. He received 9 B6N torpedo bombers from Yap who attempted a night attack against Task Force 58 on the 31st. Unfortunately for the Japanese, 4 Hellcats from Cabot managed to intercept them, successfully shooting all of them down. Koga certainly had a lot on his plate. Due to the recent attacks against Truk and now Palau, Koga decided to transfer his HQ from the Musashi to Davao on March 31st. Most of his senior staff and cryptographers boarded 3 H8K flying boats enroute to Mindanao from Palau. All 3 of the flying boats ran straight into a typhoon just off of Cebu, two of them got lost. These flying boats were carrying Admiral Koga and Vice Admiral Fukudome Shigeru, his chief of staff. Koga's plan would end up crashing enroute to Davao, killing all aboard. Thus another commander in chief of the IJN forces had met his end to a plane crash. The other plane carrying Fukudome crashed off the coast of Cebu. Fukudome had a harrowing experience, but escaped the aircraft and began swimming to the island. To make matters even worse, while swimming Fukudome was grabbed by Filipino guerillas who brought him over to Lt Colonel James Cushing. Cushing was a former engineer in the Philippines who helped organize a resistance movement. Now captured Fukudome was certainly a large prize, yet a even bigger one came on April 3rd. A Filipino shopkeeper named Pedro Gantuangoko spotted a box floating offshore on the 3rd and picked it up in his fishing boat. The box contained a red leather briefcase carrying the Z plan. Fukudome had assumed the box sank with the aircraft, but in a twist of fate it did not. Now while this was going on, Lt Colonel Seiiti Ohnisi had dispatched troops to search for survivors of the aircraft crash and for the box containing the Z plan. Ohnisi hundreds of Filipino villagers interrogated, tortured and killed, entire Filipino villages were burnt to the ground. Eventually Ohnisi cornered Cushing and they struck a deal. On April 10th, with Japanese forces on Cebu hot on the heels of the guerillas, the American commander, Lt-Colonel Cushing, arranged to return Fukudome and the other prisoners to the Japanese in return for a cessation of the massacre of Filipino civilians. Three days later, the Filipinos who had found the box containing Plan Z and the code book when it washed ashore, turned them over to Cushing. The codebook was recognized for what it was when the guerillas discovered the Japanese were offering a 50000 peso reward for its return. On April 27, Cushing arranged for the items to be picked up by the submarine Crevalle. Traveling mostly on the surface for speed, and diving only when needed, the submarine survived depth charging twice, finally arriving at Darwin on May 19. From there, the documents were flown to Brisbane later that day. Allied codebreakers looked forward with anticipation to the arrival of the codebook, since they had been stymied by changes to the IJN code since the summer of 1942 and had not “read the enemy's mail” in any detail since the week before the Battle of Midway. The documents outlined the new strategy for the defense of the inner perimeter islands around Japan with the intention of drawing the US fleet in for a decisive showdown. The documents were sent to Admiral Nimitz and would prove extremely valuable during the Battle of the Philippines Sea. The documents were so vital, the Americans performed a covert operation sending them back to the Philippines by submarine and placed near the wreckage of the flying boat by American divers. It was one of the greatest intelligence coups of WW2. Thus Admiral Koga was dead, the Z plan fell into allied hands and the IJN was now leaderless. Koga's death would not be announced until May and he was replaced by Admiral Toyoda Soemu. Koga was promoted to Marshal Admiral posthumously and granted a state funeral. According to pilot Nagatsuka Ryuji: “The death of Admiral Koga, successor to Admiral Yamamoto, had been another shock for the Japanese nation. These distressing circumstances had forced the naval and military Chiefs of Staff to resign. They had been replaced by General Tojo and Admiral Shimada.”  Now back to the invasion, on April 1st Rear-Admiral John Reeves' carriers launched  airstrikes against Yap and Ulithi, with the three task groups then attacking Woleai. 25 American aircraft were lost, with 26 out of 44 aircrews rescued thanks to submarine Harder. Meanwhile, the fleet's Hellcats win 111 aerial victories and destroy 46 grounded aircraft on the three atolls. With this, Task Force 58 successfully removed Palau as a threat to the Hollandia-Aitape operation. Alongside this South and Southwest Pacific land-based aircraft from bases in eastern New Guinea and the Admiralties, bombed islands in the eastern Carolines and undertook many long reconnaissance missions. Meanwhile Kenney's air forces were busy neutralizing enemy air bases in Western New Guinea and the eastern islands of the Dutch East Indies. Most of the strategic support missions flown to western New Guinea were undertaken by US 5th Air Force while the Royal Australian Air Forces Command took responsibility for the majority of the strikes against the islands in the eastern Dutch East Indies. The operations were intensified roughly 6 weeks before the landings at Hollandia and Aitape.    On March 30th, Kenney shifted the weight of his attacks from the Wewak area to Hollandia, where the Japanese 6th Air Division had recently retreated from Wewak and received strong reinforcements. The airforces also performed a full aerial reconnaissance taking photos of Hollandia's 3 airdromes on March. Added to this were radio intercepts and intelligence ereports, allowing the allies to estimate the Japanese had around 351 aircraft there. With this information at hand, Kenney launched Liberators armed with small 20 pound fragmentation bombs to perform a concentrated bombing against the enemy airfield. Since the Allies hoped to rehabilitate the Hollandia strips as quickly as possible, hits on the runways with heavy ordnance would be avoided. Fighter cover would be provided by long-range P-38's, which would escort the bombers over the target, and by shorter-range P-47's, which would meet the bombers near Aitape, beat off pursuing fighters, and shepherd them home. Medium and light bombers would continue attacks on the airfields at Wewak to prevent their use by Japanese fighters. The Liberators with their P-38 and P-47 escorts would smash the anti-aircraft defenses while the medium and light bombers would drench the area with bombs. On March 30th, 7 B-24's hit Hollandia dispersals as 75 Liberators of the 43rd bombardment group and 59 P-38s of the 80th, 431st and 432nd Fighter Squadrons swept over Hollandia's airstrips and dropped nearly 6000 bombs. To make matters worse for the Japanese, they suffered from insufficient radar warning, many of their aircraft would be on the ground refueling after some morning patrols. The 5th Air Force found countless enemy aircraft parked wing tip to wing tip along the runways, a lethargic anti-aircraft reaction. 25 or more fighters made "eager" passes against the 65th Bombardment Squadron, whose gunners claimed two destroyed. The 80th Fighter Squadron engaged a reported 35 to 40 hostile fighters, destroying 7 of them. The 431st Fighter Squadron claimed one Tony damaged, but the 432d encountered no enemy fighters. Japanese interception seemed badly disorganized. The planes milled about with little evident formation, and most of the pilots appeared to have little desire for a fight. Over 100 aircraft were destroyed as the Japanese were caught completely unprepared. Japanese prisoners-of-war and captured documents later revealed that the reason the bombing operation was so successful was because the Japanese high command erroneously transported too many airplanes to Hollandia from the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies but did not transport more pilots and maintenance crews with the airplanes. There was no way for them to build appropriate defensive shelters to protect all 400 aircraft and also there were not enough trained pilots who could fly all of those airplanes at the same time so many perfectly operational aircraft were left sitting there with no aircrew to maintain them. The morale at Hollandia airbase was very low during the bombing operation, with many Japanese soldiers and airmen hiding in bunkers instead of manning anti-aircraft artillery and getting airplanes into the air. Most of these Hollandia soldiers and airmen were rear-echelon and not combat-oriented at all because most of the combat-trained divisions from the 18th Army were recently sent further east towards Wewak in anticipation of amphibious landings that would never come thanks to the deception and feints carried out by General Kenney. The P-38s then withdrew to Nadzab as soon as the bombers cleared their targets; and the P-47s, meeting the Liberators near Aitape, convoyed them home without incident. So successful was this first raid that one squadron reported that “Hollandia had really been Wewaked”. The next day, Kenney launched a nearly identical mission, with 7 Liberators and 52 P-38s bombing the dispersal at Hollandia, Cyclops and Sentani airdromes. 153 tons of 100 pound demos, frags and incendiary bombs were dropped. The Japanese anti-aircraft fire was more accurate this time around and 56 Japanese fighters gave the allies a fight. However the pilots were inexperienced and unaggressive. The Americans estimated 14 aircraft were shot down while they suffered the loss of one P-38. After the air strike, the total number of destroyed aircraft on the ground reached 199. At this point the Japanese scrambled to withdraw their remaining serviceable aircraft out of Hollandia. On April 3, Kenney sent his heaviest air attack to date. 66 B-24s escorted by 21 P-38s dropped 492 1000-pound bombs on anti-aircraft defenses. An estimated 30 Japanese Tonys and Oscars attempted without success to break up the bomb runs, and B-24 gunners claimed 2 fighters destroyed, while the 21 escorting P-38's of the 80th Squadron claimed downing ten. Then, 96 A-20s escorted by 17 P-38s strafed and dropped 100-pound para-demolition bombs over grounded aircraft, stores, and other targets of opportunity. The 432nd Squadron, covering the A-20's with 17 P-38's, encountered about 20 Japanese fighters and claimed 12 definitely destroyed, against the loss of one P-38. Finally, 76 B-25s escorted by 36 P-38s swept the strips at noon, scattering parafrags and parademos and strafing everything in sight. Only 3 Japanese fighters were encountered in this last attack, which were all shot down. After the end of the raid, Hollandia was so badly mauled that it could no longer be considered a major air installation. A Japanese seaman after hearing of the Allied mission of April 3rd against Hollandia, although seemingly confused as to imperial folklore, correctly assessed the Allied victory: "Yesterday, the anniversary of the birthday of Emperor Meiji, we received from the enemy, greetings, which amount to the annihilation of our Army Air Force in New Guinea." After April 3rd, the 5th Air Force virtually owned the air over Hollandia.

The Admiralty Islands campaign was coming to a swift close, seeing MacArthur secure the valuable islands like Los Negros and Manus. MacArthurs new campaign to hit Western New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies, certainly began with a bang as General Kenney's air forces had basically claimed air supremacy, the Japanese were in full panic mode. 

There were no orcas or rollercoasters, but there were ‘seamaids' serving tropical drinks when Sea World San Diego first welcomed guests on 22nd March, 1964.  Originally conceived as a themed restaurant with a marine show inside, the founders had pivoted to build a seaquarium instead, drawing thousands of eager visitors, including, bizarrely, Senator Barry Goldwater. It wasn't until the acquisition of the famous killer whale, Shamu, that SeaWorld's identity truly solidified, but the park's success sparked ethical debates about the treatment of animals, from ‘Free Willy' to ‘Blackfish'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly weigh up the park's achievements in sealife conservation with the cruelty of keeping orcas in captivity; explain why the city of San Diego was so keen to back this innovative new attraction; and reveal how the Shamu phenomenon can trace its origins to one man's dream of riding a whale like a waterski…   Further Reading: • ‘The Fantastical Vision for the Original SeaWorld' (The Atlantic, 2014): https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/03/the-fantastical-vision-for-the-original-seaworld/284561/ • ‘Obituary: Milton Shedd, 79, Co-Founder of SeaWorld' (The New York Times, 2002): https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/28/business/milton-shedd-79-co-founder-of-seaworld.html?searchResultPosition=24 • ‘The Complete "One Ocean" Shamu Show at SeaWorld' (Money Saving Videos, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as93_fvdYyk We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

VICTORY: After years of PETA protests, the Miami Seaquarium's lease is finally being terminated! Miami-Dade County announced the decision, which requires the animal prison to relinquish the property to its owner by April 21, 2024. PETA's response to the news? “The world watched as the Miami Seaquarium let the lone orca Lolita waste away and die, allowed animals to eat trash in crumbling enclosures, and ignored its attending veterinarian's instructions until she finally resigned—but now the world can cheer at the news that help is finally on the way for the long-suffering animals held captive there. After more than 50 years of miserable animals and false promises to clean up its act, the Seaquarium's impending shutdown is overdue, and PETA looks to Miami-Dade County authorities to keep up the good work by ensuring that these animals are sent to reputable facilities where they'll get the care they so desperately need.” We invite Miami Seaquarium on to respond. So, what will happen to the animals still at Seaquarium? And, what about SeaWorld? PETA's Amanda Brody brings us the very latest! To get involved, visit: https://www.peta.org/

It's not the most urgent news story that's gripped the world since 2020, but it might be the weirdest: The last three years have seen more 400 “encounters”— many reports have used the word “attacks”—between orca whales and boats in the Strait of Gibraltar. Because the orcas are particularly fond of tearing the propellers off of yachts, the temptation to characterize these six-ton, pack-hunting, demonstrably intelligent mammals as class warriors fighting back against the 1 percent is strong, and the memes have been fun. But trying to understand animal behavior in human terms is a mistake. In this episode, we speak with Carlyn Kranking, Smithsonian's assistant digital science editor, about why stories about animal behavior are so popular with our readers, and how she decides which ones deserve more scrutiny. Then, I speak with Lori Marino, a biopsychologist with a specific focus on whale and dolphin intelligence, about what's really happening between the orcas and the yacht set. Dr. Marino invites you to learn more about The Whale Sanctuary Project at their site. You can also see Dr. Marino in the documentary films Blackfish (2013), Unlocking the Cage (2016), and Long Gone Wild (2019). Find prior episodes of our show here.
