Could Lyme disease or co-infections be contributing to gut symptoms that aren't improving?In this episode, Dr. Crane Holmes and the turd nerds break down Lyme disease and common co-infections - including Bartonella and Babesia - and how they can impact not just the gut, but the entire body. We explore how these infections can present as chronic digestive issues, brain fog, inflammation, and multi-system symptoms that don't respond to typical treatments.In this episode, we discuss:What Lyme disease actually is (and why it's often misunderstood)The role of co-infections like Bartonella and BabesiaHow these infections can affect the gut, nervous system, and immune systemWhy symptoms often go beyond digestion (brain fog, fatigue, joint pain)When to consider Lyme or co-infections in complex casesChallenges with testing and diagnosisTreatment approaches, including antimicrobials, herbs, and biofilm supportThis episode is for anyone dealing with chronic gut symptoms, unexplained inflammation, or complex health issues that haven't improved with standard approaches.Music provided by Blue Dot.
It's not in your head and yes inflation is real but ticket prices have indeed kept climbing for years. One company has a monopoly on the industry and doesn't even have the decency to wear a top hat and own hotels on Baltic Avenue. Holden charts the founding of Ticketmaster, how it won the war and now controls everything. But hey, we're not just about doom and gloom here so we're highlighting all the good folks that have fought for their fans and the fans themselves who are saying "We're Not Gonna Take It" in their best Dee Snider snarl and simply not giving in to ludicrous prices despite how much they would love to see Post Malone and Jellyroll.

On this episode we discuss "Blue Dot Fever" which has taken over the concert industry as more artists cancel tours due to low ticket sales. We discuss increasing ticket costs, reasonings behind them, LiveNation/Ticketmaster, and where this seems to be heading.Host/Produced by: https://instagram.com/poppincurbs
Host Dave Schlom is joined by nature and wildlife photographer Tom Murphy for an in-depth conversation about his life and career.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we're breaking down Blue Dot Fever, the new phrase haunting the concert industry — and no, it's not a disease, but for some artists and promoters, it might feel like one.The “blue dots” are the unsold seats staring back from online ticket maps, and lately, there have been a lot of them. We'll talk about why some tours are struggling to sell: sky-high ticket prices, dynamic pricing, expensive fees, post-pandemic “funflation” cooling off, and artists being booked into venues that may be bigger than their current audience can fill. We'll also get into what Blue Dot Fever says about the state of live music: Are fans finally pushing back? Are nostalgia tours losing steam? Have ticket prices gone too far? Or is this just a market correction after a few wild years of sold-out shows?Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!Follow us:InstagramFacebookWatch us on YouTube!

Following on from last week's piece about the extent to which I use AI, I've had a surprising number of messages asking which AI I actually use and what for.I should immediately stress that I am not some sort of AI guru. I know people use Claude to write code, automate businesses and build entire internal operating systems. That is beyond me. I can't code. I'm a one-man band, who occasionally hires freelancers. I'm self-taught. But here's what I actually use and what for.I stress the best method of all is trial and error. You get results quickly. If you don't get what you're looking for, adjust the prompt, or try a different app.Let's start with the visual stuff.Pretty much every image accompanying my articles, such as the one above, is generated on Midjourney. I've experimented with ChatGPT, Grok and other image generators, but I like Midjourney's images the most. My prompt is often just the article title plus the aspect ratio. Four options appear. I pick the best one.That alone would have seemed miraculous ten years ago.I also use Midjourney extensively for music videos. For example, in this video about the lighter side of hyperinflationary collapse, almost every visual was AI-generated from the lyrics. My editor, Goat, then used Runway to animate the images. We filmed my face against a green screen and plonked it on top afterwards.If Midjourney didn't produce what I had in mind, I simply kept adjusting the prompt until it did, or I tried another image generator as a last resortEven as recently as five years ago, let alone twenty, to make a video like this would have cost hundreds of thousands, millions even, and taken many months. We would have needed teams of animators, post production specialists, Soho studio space and lord knows what else. That, to my mind, is the genuinely revolutionary part of AI. Democratisation of media and all of that.But on top of it all you still need someone - in this case my editor Goat - who knows what they're doing.People often argue that AI ia replacing creativity. What it is actually doing, at least in my case, is dramatically lowering the cost of production and making creativity available to all. The possibilities for creative littlemen like me are enormous. I made this video using Grok and Neural FramesAnd this one was generated entirely in Neural FramesIronically, we used no AI in the music itself. We edited the videos either in Capcut or FinalCut.By the way, if you enjoy these videos, the first place I upload them is at my comedy Substack, so sign up to that. It's free.Writing, research, advice and moreThis next video, about the most prolific slaving civilisations in history, generated millions of views across social media, and became the most viewed page on this Substack. It is an interesting case.Not because of the images themselves, which were generated with Midjourney, but because of the research. AI couldn't and in some cases wouldn't do it. Claude flat out refused because of the subject matter. It would not engage. (IN other words it is biased). ChatGPT couldn't get its head round what I was trying to do. Grok came closest but in the end I worked with a human researcher, Sam, who I knew from my book, who turned out to be much better.I have paid subscriptions to Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Venice. I cooled somewhat on Claude after the slavery episode. Around the same time I was in a nasty dispute with three former business colleagues and needed some help. Claude kept getting hysterical and calling on me to speak to a lawyer, which I didn't have the time or budget to do, whereas ChatGPT gave the me the help I was looking for. So between the two episodes Claude has been rather demoted in my office, though I still use it as a sounding board for anything to do with writing - where it is strong - if I want a second or third opinion. I get that the experts think Claude is the boss, but for me it is too captured. ChatGPT has replaced it as my primary all-rounder.In general terms, ChatGPT is the most user-friendly though you have to go into the settings and tell it to stop being sycophantic, as that just gets annoying. (They are all as bad as each other for sycophancy).I'll use them all for brainstorming, proofreading, titles, summarising transcripts, challenging arguments, evaluating, drafting legal docs and agreements, advice, helping with negotiating. But I tend to go to ChatGPT ahead of the others, especially for anything to do with diet, health, personal development, mentoring, problem solving, advice and so on. It is basically having an extremely fast, but not always reliable assistant. You cannot blindly delegate to it, you have to oversee, because it is not always right, even if it behaves like it is. Grok is the best for anything current. If I am writing a satirical song, for example, and I need an overview of a politician or a news story, Grok is best by far. I think it's because Grok has X to mine from. Regarding investments, Grok beats most hedge fund managers, apparently. I use it to gauge sentiment around companies and themes: it can quickly tell me whether people are already talking about it or whether almost nobody is. That is very useful. If thousands of people are discussing a company, the hype cycle is probably already fairly advanced. If nobody is discussing it, that is more interesting.For ongoing projects, however, I still prefer ChatGPT and Claude. I find their their folder systems are more user-friendly and easier to organise, particularly for themes I want to keep coming back to. Grok - or is it me - seems to lose conversations between the app and when I use it via X.Grok could quickly become my go-to allrounder, though I have some shares in SpaceX, so I am probably biased. Broadly speaking I have greater faith in Elon Musk's integrity than I do Sam Altman's, even if for now I have voted with my usage for Sam Altman.Claude may be the most capable technically, particularly for coding and analysis, but I also found it the most censorious. Venice, by contrast, is the least filtered. And it gives you access to Seedance 2.0 (which is the best of the video generators), but it has other technological shortcomings. None of them are neutral, and you still need to judge what they tell you - which requires a functioning brain. I find AI really suits a one-man band like me, who has some experience, knowledge and who still retains a modicum of cognitive ability. It makes me so much more productive. But you still need a functioning brain.At the same time, I would argue that people who refuse to engage with AI at all - while I admire them - are putting themselves at a disadvantage. The productivity gains are simply too large. AI has not made me less creative. If anything, it has made me more productive creatively. Ideas that were once stuck in my head can now be realised.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

Our guest for Chapter 1 is John McMurray, chair of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)'s Deadball Era Research Committee. His essay, "September 1, 1906: A Pivotal Game Early in the Deadball Era," appeared in the Committee's newsletter, "The Inside Game," earlier this year. The game between the Philadelphia A's and the home team Boston Americans (now Red Sox) lasted 24 innings with the A's winning 4-1. The game featured many deadball era baseball features including speed, defense, strategy, moving the runners, crowd participation and heroic pitching with each starter pitching complete games in this marathon contest. McMurray paints a vivid picture of deadball era baseball at the turn of the last century by walking us through this amazing ballgame. In Chapter 2, Craig and Rex discuss blue dot fever that is causing artists in the pop music business to cancel shows and entire tours this summer.Join the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) here:https://sabr.org/communityThis is a cbc.com story on the Live Nation Lawsuit discussed in Chapter Two:https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/live-nation-executive-exclusive-9.7191295Episodes featured: 220 - In an Instant It Was All Gone: The Ray Chapman Story w/ Scott H. Longert; Ep. 72 - Seeing the World Through Baseball w/ Cousin Wolf (Matt Halvorson).Errata: Craig mistakenly referenced the 1915 A's as one of Connie Mack's better teams -- that A's team finished 43-109, following one of Mack's sell-offs. The A's won 4 AL pennants and 3 World Series titles from 1910 to 1914. Vic Willis, a Hall of Famer, lost 29 games pitching for the 51-103 Boston Nationals in 1905, not 26 games.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

"Blue dot fever" is the new phrase floating around for artists whose tours have seat maps full of unsold blue dots for concerts, especially in arenas and stadiums. It's said to be a precursor to a cancelled tours. The term is catchy, it captures headlines, but is the “problem” a bit exaggerated? To break it down, I'm with CAA music touring agent Akin Aliu. We last sat down for Arena Tours: The Art and Science Behind Sold Out Shows. With blue dot fever now part of the discourse, we dive deep into the latest in the business, how agents anticipate demand, and what usually leads to a successful or unsuccessful tour.

Why does chronic diarrhea continue even when testing is normal?In this episode, we walk through a case of microscopic colitis and how to approach persistent gut symptoms that don't respond to standard treatment. We break down what microscopic colitis is, why it's often missed on routine colonoscopy, and how it can present as long-standing, non-bloody diarrhea.We also explore how medications like PPIs, NSAIDs, and SSRIs may contribute, and how overlapping factors like dysbiosis, inflammation, and even constipation can complicate the clinical picture.In this episode, we discuss:- Chronic diarrhea and when to look beyond IBS- What microscopic colitis is and how it's diagnosed- Why colonoscopies can miss key findings- The role of medications in gut inflammation- Treatment approaches, including budesonide, bismuth, and bile acid binders- Functional medicine perspectives on persistent gut symptomsMusic provided by Blue Dot.
