Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Morrison

Quaranteam – Book 1: Part 14 Andy reconnects with his past, and Emily explores. Based on a post by CorruptingPower, in 25 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels. And, after two weeks of trying to subtly discern it from her, Andy eventually just asked Taylor what she did for a living, and Taylor informed Andy that she'd been a phlebotomist before moving into the Rook household, and once she was done with her time in the penalty box, she would go back to it. It was the first step she had taken towards eventually becoming an anesthetist, which was her long term goal. She'd met Lauren when the Aussie had needed someone to come in and blood test a few of the 49ers she was training. Taylor insisted that if Andy ever wanted her to stay in his bed for a night, she would without reservation, but that otherwise, she would be sleeping in the same bed with Lauren, who had set up her own bedroom now, so as to not wake Andy when she left early in the morning for practice.               Piper and Sheridan had also set up their own bedrooms, for similar reasons. Piper insisted her workout routine begin at the butt crack of dawn, and she also had a tendency to go to bed almost immediately after dinner, and Sheridan had started joining her in those hours, although the two women had very different work out routines in the morning. Andy had never been awake for any of them, but both of the women had filmed themselves working out, so he could see what they were up to in the wretched early hours. Aisling, Niko, Emily and Sarah had flatly refused to sleep away from Andy, although the order they laid against one another in the bed at night varied quite regularly. At various points over the last few days, he'd woken up in the night to find Emily quietly making out with each of the other three. He was a little surprised that Emily and Sarah didn't want another bedroom for times when the two of them wanted to fool around with just each other. He'd asked them about it, but Sarah had just teased him and insisted that when they did, he should be nearby in case he wanted to watch or join in. The craziest part of the day, however, was when Emily came to track him down in his office just before dinner with a rather baffling request. He'd spent most of the day writing, knowing that tomorrow there would be new women joining the household, and that he'd likely get very little work done on that day. He felt like he was very close to considering the draft for what he was now calling "The Doppleganger's Identity," the next book in the Druid Gunslinger series, ready for his first pass readers to take a look at, and hoped to wrap it up today. It would certainly stop Sarah from asking him yet again when she could read it, since she had insisted she get a spot on that esteemed small council. He kept the door to his office open most of the time, but Emily insisted on knocking before entering the room anyway. "Andrew, love, I know you're writing right now, but might I bother you for just a skosh?" she said, smiling at him in that disarmingly charming English way of hers. "It's never a bother, Em," he said, closing up his laptop. "You know, you're the only one of my partners I'm okay with calling me 'Andrew?' Anyone else does it, and I know I'm in trouble, but you somehow make me not hate the sound of my full name. C'mon in. Sit down, talk to me." The blonde Englishwoman sashayed into the room before lifting one of his legs so she could sit down on the footstool in front of his writing chair. She was wearing a billowy floral print dress that hung down past her knees, loose fitting but still draped enticingly well. Andy wondered if maybe it was tailor made for her, but before he could think to ask, she launched into the reason she'd come to see him. "My agent received a rather odd request today, and I wanted to come and talk to you about it before I answered it. If you're not comfortable with it, I would completely understand that, but I personally think that it would be an excellent thing for us to do, so I hoped we might talk a bit about it before you came to any decision, and perhaps I could bring you around to my way of thinking." Andy set his laptop on the coffee table to the side of his writing chair and shifted to sit up a little bit. "Who's the request from, and what is it that you think I might be uncomfortable with?" "It came from the office of the president, if you can believe it. My agent said President Pelosi didn't call personally, but a member of her staff did." Emily took his large hands in her small ones, holding onto them softly as she kept his gaze focused on her sapphire blue eyes. Clearly whatever they were going to discuss was of great importance. "When the announcement hits next week, they're expecting much of the nation to be in rather dire shock. Such massive casualties means the American way of life going forward is going to have to be something extremely different than what it once was, something radical and new." She licked her lips, a touch of nervousness Andy wasn't sure he'd seen from the usually confident young woman before. "Something like us. To sort of help assert the new norms in the minds of the general public, they want a handful of celebrities to do talk show appearances, with the hosts who are still alive anyway, and most of them seem to have made it out okay, and talk about their new family units, how polyamory is going to be the lay of the land, and how the laws are immediately being changed so that a single man can have multiple wives, to help repopulate the country after the severe losses." Andy laughed a little bit. "If you want to go on television, Em, you certainly don't need my permission. What makes you think I'd be against that?" She smiled at him kindly, and he realized immediately he'd missed what she'd been specifically asking him. "I don't just want to go on television by myself, Andrew. I want to go on television with you and with Sarah and maybe with a couple of the other girls, Niko in particular. I think it's important that we get out there as a new family unit, on The Daily Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Late Night With Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, anyone who wants to talk to us, so that we can help put the country a little more at ease that we are going to get through this. Normally, I would be most in favor of shielding all of you from the horror that is the paparazzi, just to keep my personal life simply that,  personal. But this is a very strange new world we find ourselves in, Andrew, and we need to help our fellow humans become comfortable with their new reality." "You sound pretty committed to the whole idea," he said, trying to keep his voice as non committal as possible, but Emily had gotten very good at reading him in the short time they'd been together, so he knew she could tell he wasn't entirely opposed to it, simply gauging how it would all work. The particulars of opening his private life to the entire world seemed a little daunting at first blush, but certainly not insurmountable. "We wouldn't be the only ones, I think it's important to stress that, love," she said, squeezing his hands a little bit. "And Sarah and I would also be coming out about our relationship with each other, so you wouldn't have to field a lot of questions if you didn't want to. We could take on the brunt of the questions if that makes it any easier. But I just know many people in this adopted homeland of mine are going to be frightened, and I think the idea to show them the way through would be a step in the right direction." She leaned her head down and kiss the tops of his hands before looking up at him. "Oh! And you could also use it to promote your books, if that might sweeten the pot a smidge. It might help, having twenty minutes of prime mental real estate for your face and your writing?" He chuckled, nodding his head. "You know as well as I do that my agent would string me up by my toes if I had a chance to get this much free publicity for my next novel and didn't take it, so how can I say no? I'm not going to hide from journalists. I'll do my fair share. Tell me how all this is going to work." She smiled, leaned in and kissed him, soft and tender, but for what felt like a delicious eternity. "We will set up the camera and microphones in Sarah and I's little studio, and then we'll just take an hour or so a day for a few weeks to record segments with whoever asks. The president's office wants us to do a 60 Minutes interview even before the announcement is made, as our sort of grand unveiling. For that, they're actually going to send Katie Couric here with a camera woman to do the interview in a few days. They're likely to want to do that in a larger room, or maybe out on the back deck, by the pool. They're going to do an entire show all about the deaths, the vaccine and the new post pandemic world we're starting to grow into. The ten to twenty minute interview with us will just be part of the larger package. They were hoping to have us for a day on the 14th. They're going to be filming at the base on the 13th and doing interviews with President Pelosi on the 15th. The president's representative seemed to think Niko might be a good link between the two segments, if she was one of the people helping to give the tour of the base, and the vaccination process. I asked Niko about it, and she said she wouldn't mind if you didn't, but that I had to ask you first. The whole episode of the show is going to air immediately after the President's speech on the 20th." "Good lord, sounds like they've got all this planned out. I'm surprised I didn't hear from the Office of the President personally." Emily offered him another smile, and considered her next words carefully. It wasn't that she worried about bruising his ego, because Andy had never come across that way, but she also didn't want to seem too full of herself. "Love, I've been a very well known movie star for a decade now, so I think they figured out where I was first and went from there. That's no slight against you! I'm just saying that you aren't a household name that millions of people recognize, and, for better or worse, I am. The Dagger Academy movies were everywhere, as were the books. Simon, my costar in the movies, he's still living in England, so he's in an entirely different world than we are here in the States." Andy grinned. "Oh, I know, I know. All I'm saying is that it wouldn't hurt for the President to have called me herself, y'know. But that's fine. It's fine." "Well, when the paparazzi are struggling to get topless photos of you in Ibiza, then we'll have a conversation about how you aren't being taken seriously as an artist, alright darling?" She giggled a little. "It was fun, teasing them, knowing they so desperately wanted to get images of my tits to sell, and that a bidding war would erupt for the image." "They are excellent tits, Em." "Bless you, love. But you're never going to convince me they're as nice as, say, Sarah's or Hannah's. And all those tits, theirs and mine, are exclusively the purview of this family now and forever more, so the paparazzo can fuck right off. So, the interview? You'll do it? You'll dance for the media circus with us, for the good of the nation?" "I'll do almost all of it, sure." She tilted her head slightly in confused amusement, that coy smile on her pink lips, as her tender fingers squeezed his thigh. "Almost all of it? Which part of it am I going to have to have to convince you for?" He rolled his eyes a little, a playful smirk on his lips. "I'll do all the evening shows, magazines, newspapers and website interviews you want me to, but doing Good Morning America might be a hill too far, simply because of how goddamn early I'd have to get up for it." "Or we could simply stay up very late and do it before bed," she said, moving to slide off the footstool so she could climb into his lap. "I'm sure we could find some way to keep you awake and alert that far into the night. Four thirty in the morning our time could give us the opportunity to go on live television with sex hair," she said, waggling her eyebrows at him lasciviously. "Oh, and I'm not gonna do Fox News." "Christ, love, haven't you heard? They're barely running a skeleton crew over there. Most of their on air talent died over the last few months, and now that the women are in charge over there, they're losing some of that ridiculous bullshit they used to be spouting." Andy chuckled, shaking his head a little bit. "All it took was most of the men dying." "It's pretty hard to pretend the plague isn't a real thing when it keeps killing people off left and right, dear," she said. "The rescheduled Presidential election next month is going to be between Senators Kamala Harris and Susan Collins, two women. That's never happened before in the history of this country. The vast majority of people voting in the election are going to be women. This is all completely unprecedented, so all those women who have felt powerless for so many years, this is their chance to shine. But the old tribal lines are still going to be there, even if the genders of the people leading those parties has changed. Republicans will still be Republicans and Democrats will still be Democrats. But there's too many dead people for everyone to go on pretending like the plague isn't real, or that it's not better to not get a grip on the new reality. One side was already telling their people that the plague wasn't real, so more of their men died than the on the other side. They can't afford to do that any more. So the new Fox News agenda is to go back to simple fiscal conservatism, pro military and pro old school Christianity stances. They're just going to drop all the anti woman bullshit that they've been poisoning their own wells with for so long." "And all it took was most of their men dying." Andy rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll leave it up to you on whether or not you want to do any of the Fox News shit." "Oh heavens no," Emily laughed, shaking her head. "No, you couldn't pay me enough to appear in front of those horrid people. They've been trying to tell me they have the right to regulate my body for decades but that I should keep my mouth shut when it comes to how they spend the money I pay in taxes. At least a few of their remaining hosts have called me horrible things for daring to disagree with them. 'Entertainers should be sit down and be quiet when it comes to politics,' they've said about me for far too long. Fuck that, darling. I'm having none of it." "Well, on that we can agree." "Now, I do believe I have some convincing to be doing," she said, licking her lips playfully, as she slid off his lap and down onto her knees before him, pushing his legs apart. "That's really not necessary, Em," he said, reaching forward to put a hand on her shoulder, but her delicate fingers moved to grab his wrists, lifting them so that one of his hands was along the back of her neck, and the other was sliding up into that radiant cascade of blonde hair. "It might not be necessary, Andrew, but that isn't to say I wouldn't enjoy it anyway," she said, her hands moving to unbutton his jeans, slowly drawing the zipper down. "Because sometimes a girl just needs to get her fix, you know?" She leaned down and kissed part of his exposed stomach. "You wouldn't deny me that, would you, love? Not innocent little me?" "I don't know that I could deny you anything, Emily," he chuckled. She licked her lips, those inescapable blue eyes of hers looking up at him. "That's what I like to hear. Because it's time for me to do something before Sarah does." She fished out his cock, tucking his balls over his boxers to protect them from accidentally getting caught in the zipper of the jeans, because she wasn't willing to wait long enough to pull his jeans off. "I let her have first go at you, but I'm entitled to have some firsts with you before she gets a chance. That's fair, isn't it?" She leaned down and pressed her pink lips against the head of his cock, covering it in tiny kisses. "I think we can both agree that's only fair." "I seem to recall you and Sarah taking turns blowing me at the same time," he said, tilting his head a little. "I wouldn't say she got there first." "She got to fuck you first though, Andrew," she sighed, stroking his cock tenderly. "And I understand why. She's madly in love with you because of your writing, although she's very much fallen in love with the man behind that writing as well." Her tongue slipped out and dragged a long trail across the bottom of his cock, from the base up to the tip, teasing the slit with the tip of her tongue for only a split second. "Me, on the other hand, I fell in love with the man first, when I heard all the lengths you'd gone to in protecting the women who'd chosen to hitch their wagons to your train. Niko painted such a wonderful portrait of you, and you haven't failed to live up to that yet." "I'm always going to put my family's needs above my own, Em," he said, shivering as he felt her pursing her lips around the mushroom tip of his circumcised cock for a long moment. "So what is you want to do before Sarah, hmm?" "Oh, bless, Andrew, I would've thought it would've been obvious," she giggled, blowing air along his cock, teasing his balls with her finely manicured fingernails. "I want you up the serviceman's entrance. I want you in my ass, before Sarah thinks to ask you to do it to her. We've had fingers and small toys up both hers and my asshole before, naturally, but never the real thing, and I'm afraid I simply cannot risk the chance that she get the opportunity to convince you to do it to her before you do it to me. I want to have at least one first of my very own with you before she does, and while I'm a little nervous, I must confess I am also rather excited. First times are always so exhilarating." Andy licked his own lips, swallowing a breath of air. "First times can also be quite intense, Em. Even overwhelming." "Yes yes yes Andrew, that's why I'm going to ask you if you can remember a color code when you're worked up. I know those kinds of sensations can be, distracting to self control, but you've always struck me as level headed." Her tongue took a long swirling path around the underside of the head of his cock, and his fingers tightened in her sandy hair a moment, clenching a fistful of it, which evoked a clear quiver of delight from the girl. "What do you mean a color code?" "You see, when Sarah and I are adventuring into, shall we say, uncharted sexual waters between the two of us, we use a color code. If one of us says 'green,' then things are wonderful, enjoyable and the other should carry on full steam ahead. If one of us says 'yellow,' then perhaps a bit of caution or easing back is needed. If one of us says 'red,' then a moment's rest is needed, or second thoughts are being had, and it's best to stop, until the other is ready to go again. Like a stoplight. We strike the use of those colors for any other uses when we're on the code." She looked up at him with those tender azure orbs again, soft and warm, as her fingertips stroked his shaft and juggled his balls. "Would that be alright, Andrew?" He leaned forward and kissed her again, and this time he found her not only pliant but a touch more eagerly wanton than she'd been moments ago. "Of course, love," he said to her. "But just be careful and remember you can't use those words for anything else while we're in color code mode." She titled her head to the side, a curious expression of amusement on her face. "Oh? Do you anticipate me slipping? I'm quite bright, you know," she teased, winking at him. "I have a degree in feminist studies from Cambridge and everything." He smirked a little bit. "I simply thought you might ask me to paddle your ass red, and then I'd have been more than a little conflicted from the mixed signals." She began to giggle fiercely, having even to take one of her hands from his cock up to cover her mouth, as she nodded furiously, her blonde curls falling in front of her face before her hand lifted from lips and pushed it from her eyes. "You're right! You're right you're right you are absolutely right, I most certainly would have done that, said that without even thinking about it, and what a right git I would've looked, while you would've been standing there frozen in fear that you'd gone too far." "You think you can keep that in mind, then?" She nodded once more, this time more slow and deliberate, before she pressed her hands on the tops of her thighs, moving to stand herself up. "I had Nicolette conceal a couple of bottles of lube in nearly every room of the house, in case this particular stripe of lust struck one of us. She seemed to think it was an excellent idea." Andy couldn't help but snicker a little bit. "I'm sure she did. She seemed to enjoy the hell out of it when she got her turn at it a couple of days ago." Emily giggled again as she reached behind the couch in the corner of his writing studio, her fingers reemerging with a small bottle of lube in them. "I did notice her walking a little funny yesterday, but she wouldn't tell me when I asked her about it. She simply blushed a wonderful shade of crimson and walked away from me. So I take it you gave her the ol' heave ho?" He tried to keep that ain't I a stinker smile from spreading on his face, but in the end, he just couldn't help it. "She told me she likes to be a bit bratty and put into her place, so I stuffed her panties in her mouth while I had a go at her ass. She seemed to like that quite a bit." While Emily approached him, he stood up and tugged off his jeans and boxers, not wanting to get any of the lube on them, setting them on his writing chair. For the hell of it, he pulled off his shirt as well. The idea of resembling Donald Duck appalled him. Emily's eyes widened in amusement and delight, shaking her head frantically. "You didn't! You absolutely didn't! Tell me that you didn't, Andrew!" "I surely and truly did, and she loved it. She even made a point to tell me that it was exactly how I should have a go at her moving forward." "Well, not this time, but I might like to try something like that at some point in the future," she said, as she walked over to him, lifting her dress up and over her head, tossing it aside, revealing she was completely naked beneath it. "Mostly because it wouldn't let me speak the color code if need be, but also because I'm simply not wearing any panties today." She flashed him another saucy wink, as she moved to set up her cell phone to point at the couch. Andy suspected she might be filming it to show to Sarah later, or perhaps just for her own personal edification. "Now let me pour some of this lube on your cock, and you can tell me what position I should be in for my first time at this." He shivered a little as she drizzled clear fluid onto his prick, her slender fingers stroking his shaft again, making sure to get every inch of his thick cock slicked up as much as possible. "If you want total control, you could climb on for a ride, but some women think the sensations are just too intense, and tend to seize up, so they prefer to have the man controlling things. If that's more your speed, then you probably want to get on your knees on the couch, laying your arms down on the top of it, your head resting on your arms, or with your arms behind you, so you can grab at your legs, or rub on your clit. Lauren rubbed her cunt her entire first time, saying it helped the nerve endings get all tangled up in one another." She licked her lips, that tiny hint of reticence fading away the moment he saw it, as she nodded. "I do think it will all be simply too much for me to keep my head clear, so I think I will try the position on the couch, and you can be in the driver's seat." She handed him the small bottle of lube. "Make sure you get me slicked up before you go rampaging in, however." "You sure you  " His sentence was interrupted by her grabbing the back of his head, smearing lube on his skull while she pulled him into a feral, almost delirious kiss, her tongue rampaging into his mouth with a carnal frenzy that he didn't normally associate with his more restrained and reserved partner. When she pulled back, she didn't let her face move more than an inch away from his, her blue eyes peering directly into his greens. "I have been a posh prig my entire life, Andrew," she cooed at him in a sing song fashion. "Now it's time for you to take that stick out of my prim ass and jam this wicked cock up it instead. If you don't, I may well go mad, and that wouldn't be ideal for either of us, I somehow think. Now let's get to it." "As the lady requests," he said, watching her sashay away from him. She slid one knee up on the couch demurely, followed by the other, bending forward at the waist, leaning down until she was resting on her hands and knees on the plush sofa. God, she was gorgeous, he thought to himself. Almost criminally so. She held pose there as he walked over towards her, but as he got closer, she lowered her shoulders down towards the top of the couch, sliding her hands back behind her, to cup her perky porcelain white ass. "This is all yours, Andrew," she moaned. "Virginal. Unspoiled. Unsullied. Uncharted territory." She shivered and he could see goosebumps run across her skin as the lube started to drizzle down the cleft of her ass, smearing over that rosy pucker. "God, I feel so wanton and exposed like this, ready to be debauched and debased, your eager whore, giddy for you to introduce her to these new delights, to expand her horizons and blow her mind." Andy set the bottle on the table next to the couch, then moved to use two of his fingers to smear the clear liquid along her anus, seeing her body twitch and wriggle just a little bit, as he smeared the substance around, pushing his index finger inside of her, hearing her gasp sharply following by a tiny, high pitched yelp, as she clamped down on that digit. "How are we doing, Em?" She drew in a long breath that sounded like it took some effort before she exhaled, a slow controlled push of air over her lips, as that sphincter muscle relaxed around his fingertip. "Green! We're green, Andrew. I just, I simply needed a moment to compose myself once more. Your fingers are quick thicker than Sarah's," she said with a nervous laugh. "You're going to be getting something much bigger than that in a moment," he said. "If you still want it, that is. Not too late to change your mind." "I have come too far to back out now, Andrew." "You haven't cum at all, I don't think," he teased. "Shows what you know," she giggled once more, looking over her shoulder at him to stick her tongue out in his direction. "I definitely came when you pushed your finger in. The pre fuck jitters, one might think. Like a bloody schoolgirl, I am, right now." "Alright then," he said, as he slipped his fingertip out, her asshole closing up immediately. "Remember, you merely have to say what you want, and I'm going to listen." She nodded again, one hand reaching between her legs to rub her fingertips against her cunt, stroking her finely manicured digits against her cunt, as her other hand reached up and over behind her, grabbing one of her asscheeks, pulling it aside, as if to make sure she was open and exposed for him. "Let me feel it, Andrew, but go slow. Just a bit at first." Andy nodded, as he moved his hips, settling the tip of his cock against her asshole, which he felt spasm just a little when the mushroom head of his cock made contact with it. He gave her half a second to relax once more, then began to push forward. He leaned his body against hers, feeling some initial resistance, but after a few moments, the head of his cock popped through that ring of muscle, and a guttural, almost primitive moan erupted from her throat, loud and carnal. "Fuck that's big that's so fucking big yellow yellow Andy, yellow,” she rambled, and immediately Andy held perfectly still. "Too much?" he said, feeling her ass clinging onto the head of his cock with an intense amount of pressure. "Stop? Pull out? Just wait?" "Don't pull out! Are you fucking crazy?" she said, a borderline delirious laugh cackling from her lips. "I just, I just, just give me a moment, please, you're fucking big, you know that? You and your fat fucking cock feel like you've shoved a telephone pole up my tight young virgin ass, so I'm going to need a god damned moment, thank you very much, but don't you dare fucking slip out, or I will beat you bloody senseless with a cricket bat!" Andy blushed a little bit, a wry smile on his lips, as he held perfectly still. "In your own time, Em." The tiny blonde Brit drew in a long breath, then slowly exhaled it, like she was doing some form of yoga and trying to center her chi. She did it again, and Andrew started to get worried that maybe she simply wasn't ready for this, but just about the time that thought started to roll around in his head, he felt her starting to lean back against him just a little bit. "Green, Andrew, but,” she said, shifting her body just enough so that she could look back at him, "please, for heaven's sake, take it slowly." He nodded to her, and began to lean forward, feeling her body almost being pried apart as his cock worked his way inside of her virginal asshole. Her fingertips were rubbing down firmly on her clit, and while he tried to keep the forward momentum as slow as possible, when he was nearly half way into her ass, she suddenly pushed back into him, engulfing the rest of his cock in her back door, as a wash of goosebumps rolled across her flesh, starting at the small of her back and blossoming outwards in an instant flare, followed by a hard tremble intermingled with a high pitched whine that started racing upwards in octaves and volumes until it crested, breaking and dissolving into a frantic, almost demented giggle, as his balls rested against her fingers which hadn't stopped stroking at her cunt. "You alright, Em?" he asked. "Alright? Alright? Are you asking if I'm alright now, Andrew?" she hissed, although the tone was giddy and excited. "I am green, super green, all the greens! I am awesome, fucking brilliant. That felt,” she drew in a long breath, "So fucking good, and I came So fucking hard." Her head whipped to look directly at her cellphone camera. "Sares, it's like it builds and builds and builds, and you're getting more and more and more tense and then,” she said, pulling her hips forward, sliding his cock mostly back out of her ass before, "Wham!" she said as she slammed her ass back onto his cock hilt deep once more, and let out another unearthly moan. "Holy fuck, that feels so good. Your cock just jammed up right my ass, your balls resting right on my cunt." Her head snapped again to look back at him, and her soft and kind blue eyes had gone more than a little crazy. "Go on then, in for a penny, in for a pound. Pound your little penny. Go on, you dirty wanker. Do it to me! Fuck my ass!" At this point, he was pretty sure that if he had said 'red,' she would've ignored him and just played on through. The kind of wild lust in her eyes would've been completely unfamiliar to him if he hadn't seen it before, briefly, with both Piper and Sheridan, though those had been chemically induced. Later in the evening, he'd consider whether maybe she'd tapped into that same mental state that being deprived of his semen developed in women, but in that particular moment, the only thing he could do was to fuck Emily Stevens, film sweetheart of a generation, within an inch of her sanity. His hips drew back and then thrust forward, a solid grind on his first real pump, which was met by a hard squeeze of her ass around his cock and a burbling, uncorked moan oozing from her lips. He drew back again, but this time his forward thrust was met by the snap of her hips pushing her ass back into him, making her toned asscheeks ripple just a tiny amount. "Oh fuck, Andrew," she babbled, "I want more, but I know I'm going to cum soon, and once I start again, it's not going to stop, so I need it, I need you, I love you, I need you to fucking cum inside of my ass, fill it up with that hot spunk for the first time. Mark your territory with your seed! Please Andrew, I'm fucking begging you, let me have it, show my ass you love it, teach me this final thing. Fucking cum in my ass!" The entire time, she was doing more of the thrusting than he was, although he was trying to keep pace with her. And just towards the end, he knew that he wouldn't be able to stave off the impending orgasm for long, so at her insistence, he let loose a hot jet of jizz right into her ass. The minute he felt the first spurt escape him, it felt as though she clamped down on him in a fist like grasp, and then he felt a heavy rush of liquid against his balls, her cunt gushing all over them and down the inside of his thighs. The very sensation of it made him splattered a handful more blasts of cum into her ass before he stopped, one of his hands holding onto the back of the couch for dear life, as he felt her fingertips fall away from her cunt as her arm slumped downwards. He'd gone soft almost right away, but her ass was still trying to milk any last remaining droplets of cum from his cock with gentle squeezes, even as he finally slid out of her. Her body was mostly propped up by her knees, although her face was buried into the couch cushions. He waited a minute or so before he finally said, "You alright, Em?" She began giggling, slowly moving to roll onto her side, so he could see her face had turned bright red, the color of Sarah or Aisling's hair, and she was clutching one hand to her mouth, trying to contain the infectious laugh that would not be suppressed. "Holy fucking Christ, Andrew, I am so so so embarrassed by that," she whimpered. "I've, fuck, I've never done that before. I didn't know I could fucking do that, Christ, I'm made such a mess, how awful of me. I'm horrible." Andy knelt down alongside the couch, and leaned in to press his lips against hers. She struggled for half a moment, still caught up in her own awkwardness of the moment, before she gave in and simply returned the kiss, which he held for an endlessly long time. "Did you enjoy it?" he said, when he finally gave her a moment to breathe again. "Fuckin' 'ell, Andrew," she stumbled, "I think that would've been bloody obvious." "Then who the fuck cares about the mess?" He kissed her again, one hand stroking her sweaty hair from her face, the energy cooling down a little, as they both came down from the orgasmic plateaus they'd just been dancing in. "Besides, I'd have thought you'd enjoy the idea of telling Nicolette to come and clean my office without giving her any explanation into why." Emily face almost hurt from smiling so much as she nodded. "Thank you for this, Andrew, and for making me feel at home in my own body as it learns new things about itself." She looked down then looked up at him, almost a touch of fear in her eyes. "I know I've said it before, but it's important to me that you know this, Andrew. I well and truly love you, like no other man I've known before." "I love you too, Emily," he said, making sure he was looking directly into her eyes when he said it, so she would understand there were no reservations. "And I'm very glad you agreed to marry me. You've been not only good for me, you've been good for the whole house." "Oh shush, now my heart's all aflutter," she said, moving to stand up, pausing to wince for a second. "Well, I'll jolly well feel that for the next few days. It's sore and it's still tingling in pleasure. Both, together, at the same time. What an odd delight." He laughed, grabbing her dress for her, holding it out. "Go on, get dressed and bring Nicolette in here to see the mess that you've made for her to clean up. I'll bet she's not at all embarrassed, and more than a little jealous." "You know, I suspect you might well be correct, Andrew. Brilliant."

The House of Watkins Nathaniel Watkins,  a 41 year old investor and insanely rich self made gadfly. Tall (6'1"), lean and Waspy, Nathaniel tends to look more like an out of work yoga instructor than the forty first richest man in the world. His brown beard is always somewhat disheveled, and seems to relish always walking around in socks and Birkenstocks. Has a friendly relationship with Andy, whom he gave a shitload of money to, seemingly to punish his son. Benny Watkins,  an 18 year old high school student. Benny is Nathaniel's biggest failure, spoiled and thoughtless, entitled and arrogant. His claiming of Deborah Barnes resulted in his punishment by his father, and the reassignment of Hannah to Andy. Deborah Barnes,  a 34 year old veterinarian from Los Gatos, originally from Kansas. She was originally assigned to Nathaniel, who used her as a stake in one of Covington's poker games.

Brooke Maloney,  a 24 year old Olympic swimmer, and friend of Piper. Second generation Swedish American. Blonde, short (5'4") and extremely athletic. Originally, Piper was trying to convince Andy to bring Brooke into the House of Rook, but Andy immediately recognized her personality would be a better fit for Xander, and asked Phil to help redirect her. The House of, Dave? Dave, something or other?,  a thirty(ish) something(?) quarantine management engineer for the CDC, who came to test Andy and Eric, and found out that Andy was secretly Dave's favorite author. In exchange for an advance copy of the newest unpublished Druid Gunslinger book, he put Andy and Eric into the system as Top Level V I P, which has changed their life forever. Nice dude, but Dave's just this guy, you know? Chapter 29 The next day, Andy and Ash met up with Eric and Lily for lunch in a restaurant, something they still weren't accustomed to, even though they'd done it a couple of times since moving into New Eden. They'd been in quarantine so long that the basic things like eating out felt alien. They'd found a nice little BBQ joint that someone had opened within the walls of New Eden, and Andy was ecstatic. Andy's hope was that they were going to keep getting more varieties of food in their new home town. The little 1950s dinner was nice, but the village needed things like a Mexican joint, a Chinese restaurant, a ramen house, a place where he could get a banh mi, Andy realized he really just needed the place to be less exclusively white. The guy who owned and ran the BBQ was a big black guy named Bryant Walters who'd apparently played football for the 49ers a couple of decades ago. He'd settled in the Bay after his football career ended, and he had brought his love of southern BBQ to opening his own restaurant, called "Smoke On The Water." He had a dozen of his own BBQ sauces, brisket that he smoked for at least twelve hours and some of the best damn ribs Andy had ever tasted. It didn't hurt that Bryant was also massively friendly, making sure to come out and talk to patrons of the place. The wait staff was comprised of his partners, five women in all, at least one a former 49ers cheerleader. Over lunch, Andy made sure to tell Bryant that he should have delivery service for the community, and the big burly man told him that was an excellent idea, and that he'd start working on a website for online orders. The meal was the first chance that Andy and Eric had really been able to sit down and catch up one on one since they'd gotten to New Eden. Sure, they'd seen each other at parties and big gatherings, but with just Ash and Lily there, it felt like a throwback to the first days of the whole adventure when they'd been a pair of new couples sharing a tiny little condo. "So yeah, what with all the casualties on my team, I've been promoted up the food chain to be director of the division," Eric said, poking at his brisket with his fork. "I like the responsibility and the increase in pay, but it's also incredibly depressing to think about all the former coworkers that died, none of whose funerals I can attend, because nobody's allowing funerals." "Yeah," Andy sighed, "Phil told me they're moving to mass cremations now, since so many people died. They'll probably build some sort of memorial after we're through all of this, like the Vietnam Wall or Ground Zero for 9/11." "It's so strange, seeing all the names on Slack that aren't lighting up any more," Eric sighed. "At some point, the death toll crossed from a number I can understand to a number I can't." "Kill one person and it's murder; kill a hundred thousand and it's a statistic. Good ol' Stalin," Lily joked, squeezing his hand reassuringly. "Don't try and think about it, dear. You're only going to get angry or depressed again, and we're having a nice lunch here, with everyone getting a chance to see one another. I mean, I love Niko to death, but if Andy shows up with his entire tribe, it takes over the whole room. How many are there now, fifty?" Ash giggled, rolling her eyes. "It really isn't tha' bad, Lily. How many're over there?" "Seven, including Lily," Eric said. "I refuse to let them send any more," Lily growled. "Each of the girls gets one day a week to spend with him, and he gets Sundays off." "Then when do ya get time with him?" "Any time I fucking want to," Lily laughed, waggling her beer in Eric's direction. "We're trying to have a kid now, and I'm refusing to let any of those other bitches get a go at getting knocked up until I'm well and truly swollen. Once I'm half way through my second trimester, then I'll let'em get off their birth control, and not a minute fucking sooner." "Still got Eric under your thumb, huh, Lil?" Andy teased. "Thumb, palm, e

Folsom runner Jason Davis joined us during a live recording session late in 2021 at The Aid Station in Auburn, CA. He was a pivotal figure in the Western States Endurance Run in 2006 when he took over pacing duties for an up and coming runner from Seattle named Brian Morrison.Brian was leading the race in the final miles and was paced by none other than Scott Jurek, previous seven-time winner of the race. Scott requested a new pacer for Brian in the final miles, and Jason was tapped for the role. Due to a series of difficulties in the very final mile of the race, Brian was ultimately disqualified after receiving assistance on the Placer High track as he attempted to finish the race.Jason retold the story of the day and how he recently reconnected to Brian many years after that fateful day.

Quoia and Tish interview the creator and star of Bastards' Road, director Brian Morrison & Jonathan Hancock, as well as soundtrack duo Mike-Mark Gibbons & Daniel Strauch!

Marine Corps combat Veteran Jonathan Hancock came by the show to share his story that was documented for a feature film called Bastards' Road. Bastards' Road is an award winning documentary recounting Jon's 6,000 mile walk around the country. Jon decided to take this journey in 2016, after he had attempted suicide and was struggling with PTSD and his new role as a college student. During his walk, Jon met with Gold Star Families, an act that was healing both for Jon and the families of the fallen. Jon's journey helped him reclaim values that were important to him as a Marine, like loyalty and self accountability. Jon and Joe discuss the importance of listening to our Nation's combat Veterans and respecting their experiences and the stories of those who didn't return home.  Are you a Veteran who is transitioning to Entrepreneurship?

About Our Guest Back in 2016 a Marine Combat Veteran, battling PTSD and looking to reclaim his life after a suicide attempt landed him in the hospital Jon Hancock walked nearly 6,000 miles around the country visiting Gold Star families (those who had lost one of his fellow Marines in combat) and he ended that journey in a grand fashion at Camp Pendleton in southern California... Marines stood at attention every 50 ft for a mile as Jon completed the last steps of his walk with hundreds of people behind him. Jon Hancocks advocacy has strengthened since after the walk with the formation of his non-profit organization, Bastards Road Project. He has been featured on national interviews in Forbes.com, CNN, Cheddar, Military.com, as well as across the country in the OC Register, Florida Today, and Baltimore Sun, among others. His remarkable honesty, insight and humor encourage strength to face down trauma and the self-loathing, depression and isolation that follows it.

On this week's podcast SOFREP Senior Editor and SOFREP Radio host, Steve Balestrieri talks with Jonathan Hancock a Marine veteran from 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment – The Magnificent Bastards – who walked 5,800 miles across the United States to visit fellow Marines and Gold Star families in a journey of healing. Jon's trek across the country and his interactions with the veterans, Marines, and Gold Star families was filmed, at first by himself and then by filmmaker Brian Morrison who joined him on the road. The footage became the critically-acclaimed documentary Bastards' Road. Steve and Jon talk about Jon's career in the Marines, his service with the 2/4 during the bloody Battle of Ramadi in 2004, his amazing journey across the United States, and the positive impact it had on those around him.

The journey is ALWAYS as important as the destination... “Bastards’ Road” tells the story of US Marine Combat Veteran Jon Hancock’s epic healing journey on foot across the United States. Walking over 5,800 miles, Hancock confronts the demons that had overtaken his life. Visiting his fellow 2/4 Marines - a unit known as the The Magnificent Bastards - and families of their fallen along the way, Jon’s unique insight, humor and compassion illuminates a story much bigger than himself. “Bastards’ Road” builds a bridge between a marginalized Veteran community dealing with extraordinarily high suicide rates and a civilian population struggling to understand. This is an important piece of cinema as it puts us in the well worm boots of those who have served and the difficulties that come with re-entering civilian life. We talk with director/producer Brian Morrison, and original soundtrack team Daniel Strauch and Michael Marx-Gibbons of Aliceanna Collective about the making of the film and capturing the importance of walking a mile in someone else's shoes...

We have all found ourselves in those moments when something horrific happens. You witness a terrible accident or car wreck. The images are burned into your mind. But for most of us, it may be a single event, though the memory of it remains. Now imagine repeated, horrific events – unexpected and unsettling – inducing flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety. Many who are sent to defend our country experience this, and when their service is over, they are expected to return to everyday life. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has destroyed lives, families and communities. But how well do we understand PTSD and its impact? What about treatment and recovery? Today, a Marine combat veteran joins us to discuss his personal story of PTSD. He walked 6,000 miles around the country as part of his healing process to address the wounds of war. His experience has been depicted in the documentary "Bastards' Road,” and the director joins us to talk about the film and what we can all take away from the story. Plus, a clinical social worker from Houston's VA Hospital, also fields listeners' questions about PTSD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etnKJSi1ocs Guests are: Jon Hancock: Marine combat veteran, whose story is told in the documentary "Bastards' Road" Brian Morrison: Director and cinematographer of "Bastards' Road" Carine Meyer: Senior Social Worker and Military Sexual Trauma Coordinator at the Michael E.

HERE WE GO! It's time for some laughter, some tears, and even a bit of head-scratching with this episode of BEHIND THE LENS with our special guests, filmmakers IVO RAZO and BRIAN MORRISON! Take a listen as writer/director IVO RAZO talks about his film, the mockumentary/satire/parody, REBOOT CAMP. (Heads up folks, Chaz Bono is in the film and he is really one of the reasons to watch!) The story of two brothers who create the fake self-help group, REBOOT CAMP, led by the fictional "Gordon St. Pierre" (expertly played by David Lipper), in order to make an expose-type documentary about fake gurus and the ease with which people are conned into believing anything and everything. Surprisingly, this fabricated REBOOT CAMP becomes a hit and garners a devoted following. But what happens when the tables turn on the brothers and an interloper upsets their apple cart? With an all-star cast, some acting in character and others as themselves, Ivo talks about the logistical challenges of shooting and meshing the schedules of talent, the immersiveness of the "Reboot Camp" experience, balancing the satire so as not to go over the edge, finding laughs, benefits of using one location for the bulk of the shoot, and so much more! And after a belly full of laughs and fun, #BTLRadioShow takes a serious turn as director/producer/editor BRIAN MORRISON joins us, talking about his latest documentary BASTARDS' ROAD. A powerful and insightful look at former Marine Jon Hancock who walks in solitude 5800 miles across the United States, reconnecting with his brothers-in-arms and their families, as he tries to heal the wounds of war from within. Sobering statistics on Veterans, PTSD, and suicide were again revealed in a 2019 Veteran Affairs report which found that the Veteran suicide rate is 50% greater than for non-veterans; more than 60,000 Veteran suicides from 2008-2017; and ages 18-34 (those who fought in the most recent insurrections and battles in Afghanistan and Iraq) is the fastest-growing suicide rate among Veterans, increasing 76% since 2005. The November 2020 VA report stated that "the average number of Veteran suicides per day was 17.6 in 2018." Veterans suicide was roughly 27.5 per 100,000 individuals in 2018, up from 25.8 per 100,000 in 2016. By comparison, among all U.S. adults, the suicide rate per 100,000 was 18.3. A "Must See" film for all Americans, listen as Brian talks about how he became involved and inspired with Hancock's journey, the logistics of shooting a cross-country trek such as this, his own trepidation at "intruding" into the lives of the former Marines Hancock reconnects with along the way, keeping the camera unobtrusive, score, and a challenging editing process. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

BASTARDS’ ROAD tells the story of the many combat veterans, like Jon Hancock who are navigating the complicated transition back to civilian life. After years of struggling, Jon decided to take an epic journey across the country - on foot. Walking nearly 6,000 miles alone, Jon confronts the demons that had overtaken his life. Visiting his fellow 2/4 Marines - known as the The Magnificent Bastards - and families of their fallen along the way, Jon finds a mission greater than his own redemption. Veterans everywhere are struggling with PTSD. They are taking their own lives at an alarming rate - 50% higher than non-veterans. With remarkable honesty, insight and humor, Jon’s journey is uniquely positive. It’s about changing the ways one relates to traumatic memories. It’s about beginning the healing process. Director Brian Morrison joins us to talk about the raw emotions and the deep pain of men and woman who have done what their country asked them to do.

Michael Gross: Okay, to everybody listening to today's Option Seller's Guest Series, we have a very special guest for you today. I am speaking with Dr. Alexander Elder. For those of you who may not be familiar with Dr. Elder, you should be. He is a legend in the trading world. He has two classic books: "At Least Trading for a Living" and "Come into my Trading Room", which I feel should be staples of anybody who's considering becoming a serious trader. Dr. Elder, welcome to the show today! Dr. Elder: Thank you very much! Pleasure being here. Gross: Dr. Elder, we're going to start. Obviously, our readers and listeners here sell options: some of them sell index options; some of them sell stock options. Obviously, here we talk about selling commodities options but I think it might be interesting to a lot of our listeners and readers to hear your story. You have a very interesting story about how you got to this country and how you got started in trading and I wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing that. Dr. Elder: Well... I was born. Sometimes people ask me, "Where are you from?" I say, "I was born in a non-existent country. I was born in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic." To make a very long story very short, I early on developed a massive hatred of the Soviet system. And I got involved in politics, which was a dangerous business in the old country. And eventually, I realized I didn't want to go to a Soviet prison so I got a job on a ship and I jumped ship in Africa. I came to the United States. The embassy people – the US embassy people - flew me from Africa to New York. I came to New York with 20 dollars - 18 dollars to my name. And that was my arrival here. I worked. I took all kinds of exams because back in the old country, I went to medical school, actually graduated medical school, and got my MD at a tender age of 22. So I reconfirmed my diplomas here. I did my residency in New York and got a teaching position at Columbia University. So while all of that was going on, I'm generally a very curious person. I want to know about different things, and I found such a thing called the stock market. Well, that just sounded so exciting. I started reading books and I started gambling. I mean, of course, I didn't think of it as gambling at that time but gambling it was. And I had a tiny account, you know - 5000-dollar account. I would run it into the ground, make some more money, open another tiny account, run it into the ground and eventually I learned enough that I stopped running it into the ground. Now, took me years, took me years to overcome that obstacle. And to this day, I'm saying to people that a higher degree of formal education is an obstacle to successful training. The higher your formal education, the more difficult it's going to be for you to learn how to trade - and there's a very good reason for that. But once I figured out the game, once I began trading properly, I realized that there hasn't been a book that properly explained everything I needed. And I wrote a book, I wrote a book that was basically a book I wish I could have bought 5 years earlier. And that was "Trading for a Living". It became a huge best seller, an international best-seller translated into 14 languages and still a best-seller in the US for over 20 years. Just last year 2014, I produced a new edition of this book. The publisher was begging for a new edition for ages and I said, Well, I allocated three months to do a new edition. Well, it took me 18 months instead of three. I really completely rewrote the book. And so that's my book the new "Trading for a Living. That's... As far as for myself, I trade. I trade professionally. I spend a fair bit of time in front of the screen, mostly trading stocks and commodities. And I also love teaching. Whenever a company invites me to speak somewhere and pay for it, I am happy to get on a plane. I just came back from Asia. I was teaching almost a week-long course in Macau near Hong Kong. And then I was teaching a very long course in Tokyo. And this was a very wonderful trip. Made new friends, met some old friends, saw some old friends, and here I am back in Vermont which is I am based these days, far from the avenue crowd, with ten-mile views, in front of the live screen and occasionally talking to people like you. Gross: That's, that's fascinating beginning. You made an excellent point and I wanted to ask you about it. You said that you felt a higher education to becoming a successful trader. Can you explain now a little bit more? Dr. Elder: Yeah. Of course, it will be a pleasure. There are... in nature, in society, in civilization, in anything, there are two types of causation: dynamic causation and stochastic causation /. Dynamic causation is very simple: you have a stem on your desk. You push the stem, that stem moves in the direction, which you push it. Or you lift the stem, you release your fingers and the stem drops on the floor under the force of gravity. That's dynamic causation. If you do A, B will happen. 100%. Stochastic causation is, or some people have something to do with stochastic indicator. Some people call it probabilistic causation - is when an event happens only in a percentage of cases. Like for example, say you come to my house and I say to you, "Let's - we have half an hour before dinner. Let's play a little game. Here have a drawer with clean socks - black socks which I wear everyday and white socks which I wear to the gym. I have 10 pairs of black socks and 4 pairs of white socks. Now, you want to make a money bet and put your hand into the drawer blindly and pull a pair?" And you say, "Yes." And so what are you going to bet on? And of course you will say, "Well, I'm going to bet on black right because there are 10 black pairs therefore white pair." You put your hand without looking. And lo and behold, a white pair comes out. You lost your money. You do it again. And again, a white pair comes out. You lost your money again. And that's what it often happens in trading. What it means is in addition to having an idea of what you're going to buy or sell, you also have to placate that idea with money management because that idea will never be hundred percent. So that's the baseline. Now, you take an educated person, say, a doctor. The way we're trained, if a patient comes to a doctor and he is hurting somewhere, that person deserves a diagnosis. So a doctor will examine this patient, diagnose his problems, and prescribe treatment. Now suppose he cannot diagnose his problem, well he will order more tests. If he still cannot diagnose his problem, he will send him to a consultant. In other words, the patient deserves a diagnosis and the doctor will not stop until the diagnosis is made. A good doctor will not stop. But here's done in the financial markets, you can look at a stock and say, "Is this going up or down? Up or down? Up or down? Hmm ... I don't know." Well, let's pull maybe five more indicators? Ten more indicators? Apply speed lines. Apply Elliott wave. Apply Endelope. Apply. Apply. Apply. I'm going to apply enough tools and feel I have an answer which way the stock will go. And that is a total sack of shit. Because the stock happens to be in a chaotic state and applying more tools is a self-delusional thing. A good trade is supposed to jump off you from the screen. It's clear. And forcing a trade like that is a typical mistake of educated people who feel that if there are more tests and are more indicators, things are going to be hunky dory - which they are. A friend of mine who spent his professional life in Saudi Arabia working for Aramco, this American-Arabian oil company said to me, "If I were to come to my manager and say to him that I can design a pumping station that would work perfectly six times out of ten and four times it would blow up, my manager would lock me out of his office. But this is how I would have to function as a trader. I have to design a system that would work five, six times, blow up four times and I'm going to be ahead of the game at the end of the month. So that's what - that guy was working to overcome his perfectionism but this is why a high degree of education is really a negative, something to be overcome. Just in conclusion, there was a guy he died a few years ago. There was a guy in Chicago named Brian Morrison and he once said, "I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics. I specialize in Cybernetics. But I was able to overcome those disadvantages and make money." Gross: Boy, that's a fascinating observation and I think I agree with you. One of the biggest obstacles of traders is how they have to think about trading. And I think you're book is really focused on that as well - was the psychology of trading is one underestimated part of trading is what it is. Dr. Elder: Yeah. Respecting the randomness of the market, respecting the chaos of the market, and having the humility to say, I don't know this; I don't know that; and I am completely confused here BUT I have a notion of the certain pattern of order. And when that pattern encroaches from the chaos of the market, I'm going to pounce. I'm going to trade. But when there's no such pattern, I'm just going to sit back and wait. Scratch my nugget. Gross: Exactly. Exactly. Dr Alder, you do much of your work with individuals who want to trade for a living, who might even want to trade professionally. Here we… Dr. Elder: Not very much. Not very much. I used to enjoy private consulting. I kind of drifted out of it. I have a, I have a partner - [Name] - who left private consulting so when people come to me, when people come to me they want private consulting, I usually send them to Kelly. I always send them to Kelly 99% of the time. You know, there are things we do and things we get sort of out of good. What I am really focused on in terms of helping people see the way is I run this website together with my friend and business partner Kelly Lavone called Spikes Trade - SpikeTrades.com. And that's where, that's where we have traders competing for the best pick of the week. So we have a whole bunch of people submitting their favorite picks every weekend for the following week and of course... We run it essentially as a - we try to pick somebody real time. We measure their performance and winners receive bonuses. I think we're the only website that pays people for doing their homework. And I find that a lot of fun. So that's the kind of thing I enjoy doing as far as dealing with people. But sitting down with an individual, trying to help him, I'll do it once in a blue moon because it's really not where I am. Gross: So that's SpikeTrade.com? Dr. Elder: Yeah. Gross: Sounds like an excellent resource for anyone listening out there. Dr. Elder you made some great observations about the differences between investors, traders and gamblers. Can you briefly describe those differences based on your observations? Dr. Elder: You know, speaking, speaking about. Let's me speak about gamblers first. I was asked on the phone by a friend of mine earlier this morning. I have a very close friend - he is a dentist - who works like a donkey and makes very good money. And while his wife was alive, she was managing the finances and everything else. And ever since his wife died he was stunned, he was about forty, to manage the money. He showed me his account. I was appalled. This guy is putting quarter million dollars in his retirement fund every year and sometimes more. And the sum loses that money. Last time I saw, he showed me his paper he was in the million-dollar draw down. And I was saying to him, the kid is a gambler. He is not a stock trader. He - and actually he loves this one-week option. He is a gambler. And my friend says yes he just likes pushing the buttons. He likes pushing the buttons. So we were discussing how to take the kids away from the gambling. Gamblers are for the excitement of the game and they don't care about the results. Eventually they would love to have process of course but ultimately they are after the excitement. Not after the results. A trader discovers the patterns of the market, discovers some patterns of order and motion in care of the market. And trades have patterns. I can say that myself primarily a trade and most of my trades last from two days to a couple of weeks. An investor looks for the very long term. And I think at this day and age, investment is becoming - investing is becoming more and more difficult because of all the speeding up. The work has become way too fast and the old notion of stocks for widows and orphans, one decision starts - that's kind of outdated. You really have to be in tune with the swings of the market. Gross: Okay. So when you, when you talk about trading for the short, intermediate, longer term of you, do you have a preference there? Dr. Elder: Um, well I'm not sure what you mean by short, intermediate and long term trading. Gross: I know you're not a big fan of day trading. But you, I mean are your trades usually 1-2 weeks in duration or are you looking at a couple of months or longer? Dr. Elder: No, no, no, no. I would say a couple of weeks would be the far end of the thing. Gross: Okay. Dr. Elder: A few days - from a few days to maybe a couple of weeks and once in a blue moon a day trade. Sometimes when I am in front of the screen and nothing much preoccupies me I just this completely open day in front of me, I'll take a look at the screen. Maybe I'll find a day trade. But you lose from a few days to a couple of weeks. What I think is that I use technical analysis for tactical decision-making. And I find that with technical analysis is like head lights in the car - it lights up a little in front of you but it certainly doesn't light up - doesn't light up all the way home. So if you go with a reasonable speed, you see a bit of a difference ahead of you. And I say that if I can find the deviation in the market and trade against the deviation normal set, that's your last few days. Gross: Okay. Dr Elder, there's a lot of people the general public maybe not so much our listeners but a lot of people, even some financial media advisors consider public commodities a risky asset class and they try to steer their clients clear of it. What are your thoughts on that? Dr. Elder: I think - to start with a summary - I think there is nothing wrong with commodities. There is everything wrong with people who create commodities. The thing with commodities is this: that, well, most - the average lifetime a commodity is created is about three months. Why is it - why? It's because commodities are traded on paper thin margins. A stock trader may buy stocks put half the money down and half the money is margin. It's basically trading at 50% margin. He has to put down 50% of his purchase price. When you trade commodities, you can trade them on a 5% deposit. So some poor guy who has $20,000 dollars, he "invests" that money in a commodity trade and uses $20,000 dollars, he can control $400,000 dollars worth of merchandise. Now if it moves his way, it's magic. He can double his money in a hurry. But you know, if it doesn't go his way, it can actually move a day again. And if he moves a day again, by the time you settle a percentage, he loses half of his margins. His walker gives him a margin call and his trading career is finished. Commodities are wonderful, clean, open, tactical market. There is nothing wrong with commodities. As I said there is everything wrong with commodity traders mainly because they have no conception of leverage and of risk control and there are rules in controlling those risks. In my book, I even have tables which tell you this is how you find out which commodities you can afford to trade and which you cannot afford to trade. Then of course poor beginners crowd into this field not knowing how to control risks, what they can/cannot do. They get blown out. So I usually say to people commodities are not for beginners some stocks. Learn the game. Most important, learn risk management and then, if you're still interested in commodities, come on in. Gross: Dr. Elder are you there? Dr. Elder: Yeah yeah I'm still here. I think I might... Gross: I'm sorry. I thought it cut off. Okay. We've talked about that in our writing as well. And one observation I made early in my career was that people that, I thought was one of the biggest mistakes new commodities traders is they came in and they trade commodities like they trade stocks without understanding that leverage and they can't stay on the market even for the short term swings. So I agree with that a hundred percent. I know a lot of the work you do, you favor technical analysis. Can you comment on the differences and how you see fundamentals playing a role. Can those work together? Do you discard fundamentals? Or how do you regard the fundamental aspect of trading? Dr. Elder: You know, I'm afraid I have a very simple, not to say primitive approach to fundamentals in a sense that I get an idea that some things are important, some things make sense. And that turns me to a certain stock or a sector in the market. And then use technical analysis to sharpen my insights, to find the specific stocks or commodities for that matter to trade. For example, for example - according to The Economist magazine, by the end of the next decade, the world will have a hundred thousand professional drone operators. It's an amazing number. It will be a whole new line of business - whole line of work. And either it's going to be a whole lot of 100 thousand drone operators. I take it as a sign that there will be also a tremendous number of drones flying and being made. So why don't they look at drone companies? And that's pretty much the fundamental - that's the fundamental from the technical analysis from me. Get a bigger year. Get a bigger year. Or for example, a couple of weeks ago, I was teaching this class in Macau. One of my campers - one of my group participants asked me to look at this stock called PBR - Petroleo Brasileiro. It's a Brazilian national oil company. I haven't looked at. I was actually in Brazil a few years ago and somebody asked me in the class what's my favorite pick in the Brazilian market. And PBR was trading at $60 back then. And I said, of course PBR. You know, it was like I - it was a sacrilege to say something like that. It was actually funny. In any case, I look at the chart now, PBR used to be $70 and I suggested shorten that to $60. It's now trading below 5. And again just from reading magazines I know what's happening. Prices of gas dropped. But also there's a huge, huge, huge political scandal in Brazil and apparently PBR was giving money to the governing party for its campaigns. Huge political crisis in the country. And I'm saying to myself, well, the stock was trading at $70, it's now trading below 5. Meanwhile, it's really driven down by the times. Meanwhile, all these oil fields in Brazil, it has the monopoly. Brazil has a ton of oil and PBR is pumping that oil at a cost of $40 per barrel. So they're not making so much money now but they are still making a few bucks. And meanwhile, they own - they basically own the country's oil just the oil. The stock has been driven down by a tank. And now we switch to technical analysis just like a bicycle. But this is basically how it works for me. Fundamental - a very broad fundamental view of either societal trend or technological trend raise an alarm bell for you. Hey, this is interesting! This is interesting. Let's take it into the computer. Let's see how the moving stack up and everything else. Gross: Okay. That's an interesting view and I'll ask you a market question here at the end but before we get to that, we - in our books, in our materials, we occasionally quote you or cite some observations you've made in your studies. Dr. Elder: Thank you. Gross: And one reason for that is that we tend to think that your books cut through a lot of the fluff and useless information available to investors and get right into the core concepts. What really works as a trader, what doesn't. I've noticed personally coming into my trading room that you're a proponent of selling options versus not buying them. Can you elaborate on that? Why do you favor selling options as a strategy? Dr. Elder: You know, when I teach classes, occasionally, let me backtrack. When I teach classes, I often say to people: having met literally over ten thousand traders, investors - traders mostly - I have never met one person - not one - who built an account buying options. Now, all of us have some successful option trades or we buy something. I had a trade once when I - that was before - I bought a, I bought a 3 8 on Friday. It opened on Monday at 13. So all of us got those fantastic stories of success in buying an option. But in all those years, I have never met one individual - not one - who built up an account buying options. At the same time, I have several friends who make a good living year in and year out selling options. I know many successful option sellers. And not a single successful option buyer. I think the person who summarized it best for me was that years ago, this woman came for some classes with me. She was a floor trader at the American Exchange. She was an options specialist. But she was pretty adamant she wanted to get off the floor and learn something about computerized trade. That's how she came in. And she said to me, "Options are a hope business. You can buy hope or you can sell hope. I am a professional. I come to the floor in the morning and look to see what people are hoping for. And then I try that hope and sell it to them. Options are a hope business. If you're going to give me a little hope, you better sell hope, not buy them. Gross: That's probably the greatest observation of option selling I've ever heard. One of the analogies we use is options sellers operate kind of like an insurance company where you're selling collecting premium, premium, premium. Occasionally, you pay out on one. But if you do it like the insurance company does it, it should be a profitable venture in the long term. Dr. Elder: Right. Right. Just price it right. Price it right. I have a friend in Michigan, her name is Bea Buffelin. She is quite a character. She is a mathematician. She is a chess player. She is a psychologist with Ph.D. and she loves selling options. She said to me, "I feel like I am running a roulette on a cruise ship. And all these guys are coming in. They have gold chains and they are loud but they cannot afford a thousand shares of Microsoft. So they buy options from me. And they're having fun and drinking beer. But you know? Four times a year that wheel stops and I sweep off the money. Gross: Sure. So she's operating as kind of a cool business professional and they're doing it for entertainment is what it sounds like. Dr. Elder: They're having fun. They're having fun. Lots of it. Fun is expensive. Gross: Yeah. Dr. Elder: At the very beginning of my career as a trader, this old professional trader in New York said to me, "Successful trading should be a little bit boring. if you entertain, move right back. Something is wrong with this picture. " Gross: Exactly. I think the professionals I've met in this business as well, they approach it as a business. It's not a fun past time. It's a very business-like approach. And they're looking to play the odds. And it's one of the things that you talk about as well. Dr Elder, if you - as far as option-selling as a strategy goes, what would be the top 3 things you would look for if you were identifying an option to sell? Dr. Elder: Well, first of all, let me say right away, I am not an expert on options. I used to promise to myself, next year I am going into and provide options. But to me it's not a hugely complicated other area. I am super comfortable trading short and long stocks and fusions. And learning how to trade options is something I've been putting off year after year and so I certainly don't hold out myself as an expert in options for a moment. Except that I can say with utter confidence that the only way to make money with options is to sell them, not to buy them. Now, as far as selling options, so having said that, I would look for technical patterns. I would look for stocks that are very. And actually I would want to sell cold. I would look for stocks that have crashed and stop crashing to the very bottom. And that's where I would sell those. And then of course I could pull things like Delta because they would want to sell options whose likelihood of going into the money would be minimum. So that's about it. Gross: Okay. As far as getting into commodities - new investor, taking into his first steps into commodities, they want to get diversified form equities... Dr. Elder: I think the person who want to get into commodities has to show at least a couple of years of successful stock trading. If you're successful in stocks for two years, try commodities. Commodities are very, very fast. And it's not a good place to begin. I mean I love trading commodities. I have a position in a hell of a position in commodities going on right now. But it's not a beginner's game. You really have to have a bit of experience to get into. Gross: Okay, good. Alright, I'm going to ask you one question. I don't want to get into too much of a specific trades and things like that. But I would like to ask your opinion on the overall macro picture right now especially as it relates to commodities in general. We've been in some pretty steady downtrends in a lot of markets. Is that something you see continuing in 2016 or what's your take on that. Dr. Elder: Well, I think I want to buy the worst performing market and to short the best performing markets as a general attitude. And what I see in many commodities now is that it has been sold down to - well, in any case, I'm looking for bottoms and those things. Agriculturals, for example. We're supposed to be hit with one of the worst El Ninos in decades. That's not going to be too friendly to commodities so meaning that the growing areas are going to be hit. Shortages are likely to develop. Commodities - agricultural commodities are likely to go up. I'm a contrarian trader. Whenever I see sustained downtrend, my first inclination is to say, whoa, is there a bottom there? And that's of course we get into analysis comes in. Now, looking at more tropical commodities, looking at tropical commodities, we're just now looking at the track of causes. The deep bottom in 2014, stronger now and now still going on. And it still going low lows but will tiny little margins. So that to me is a sign of being completely exhausted. 'Coz it now becomes a question of timing when you will have a and buy. Essentially I am a contrarian trader. And I think as an options seller, you have to be a contrarian trader because you sell hope. Gross: Absolutely. Sure. We always talk about it's a process of not necessarily deciding where the market is not going to go but where it's not going to go. Dr. Elder: Right. Gross: And that's really the gist of the whole thing. Dr. Elder this has been some great information. We really appreciate you sharing your wisdom and knowledge with our listeners and readers. In addition to your books, you mentioned your website, where can traders and investors learn more about your work and what you have to offer. Dr. Elder: Well, I have two websites. One website which has all my books and I run webinars once a month. We just had one two nights ago. It's Elder.com. I got into the internet early enough when short means were available. So I have this Elder.com website. Visit. And then right on that website, you will find a link for Spike Trade, which is really where I live nowadays. That to me is a fantastic and interesting drawing which includes sharp smart traders. And I have this partner whom I have struck a great deal. Two of us are running the service. Essentially it's a community of traders. So that - Come to Elder.com and explore from there. Don't forget SpikeTrade.com. Gross: Excellent. Thank you Dr. Elder. It's been a great interview. We hope to get you back again sometime. Dr. Elder: Thank you very much. Pleasure talking to you. Gross: Likewise. I'm going to stop the recording now and I just want to let you know I do personally appreciate you coming on and really enjoyed talking with you and hopefully we can talk again at some point. Dr. Elder: Intelligent questions call for intelligent answers. Right? Gross: Exactly. Well they were very intelligent answers so I appreciate that. Dr. Elder: Thank you. Thank good care. Gross: Alright, you too. Thank Dr. Elder. Dr. Elder: Thank you, Bye bye. Gross: Bye.
