This story revolves around the adventures of Philip Marlowe, a private investigator navigating a complex web of crime, deception, and personal connections in Los Angeles. The narrative unfolds with the atmospheric backdrop of the Santa Ana winds, leading to a series of encounters that reveal the darker sides of human nature and the consequences of past actions. Marlowe's interactions with various characters, including a mysterious woman and a dead man, highlight themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of truth amidst chaos.TakeawaysThe Santa Ana winds symbolize chaos and unpredictability.Marlowe's character embodies the classic noir detective archetype.The narrative explores themes of love and loss through Lola's story.The investigation reveals the interconnectedness of crime and personal relationships.Marlowe's encounters often lead to dangerous situations, showcasing the risks of his profession.The pearls serve as a metaphor for deception and the value of memories.The story highlights the moral ambiguity of the characters involved.Marlowe's interactions with law enforcement reflect the complexities of justice.The ending emphasizes the futility of material possessions in the face of loss.The narrative style captures the essence of Raymond Chandler's writing."The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" was a popular hardboiled detective radio series based on Raymond Chandler's stories. It had two main runs, first on NBC with Van Heflin in 1947, and later on CBS with Gerald Mohr from 1948 to 1951, becoming a top radio program. Despite its popularity, it lacked consistent sponsorship. Raymond Chandler had little involvement but was generally pleased with Mohr's portrayal. The CBS version, produced by Norman Macdonnell, was better received than the initial NBC run, and featured contributions from notable writers and actors.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Philip Marlowe02:27 The Mysterious Lady and the Bar Incident06:12 The Encounter with the Killer08:28 Unraveling the Mystery of Waldo12:10 The Search for the Missing Pearls18:02 The Dead Man in Waldo's Room19:26 The Lady's Convertible and the Investigation20:40 Negotiations and Unpaid Bills24:03 The Revelation of the Fake Pearls26:56 The Clasp and the Emotional Connection28:07 The Conclusion and Reflection

In this session, drawing from Luke 12 and his own life, Brant explores Jesus' teachings about wealth, worry, and radical generosity. Greed, Brant reminds us, is sneaky—it doesn't announce itself, and it's not just a “rich people problem.” The takeaway? You don't need to own beautiful things to enjoy them, and you don't have to clutch what you have—because you're partnering with a generous God. Follow along with this sessions slides/notes!

Back by popular demand, it's another Random Number Generator Car Reviews episode, where Jason and Derek pull reviews of cars from their extensive spreadsheet. This, after Jason succeeds in getting his van, Jynah, stuck in the snow. And succeeds, despite there being no snow. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Jason takes the van to Tahoe to finally test the Vredestein Wintrac Pros in the snow. He experiences the joys of installing tire chains on the side of a cold, wet freeway while chain-control enforcers allow countless all-season- or even summer tire-equipped SUVs to pass by. The Carmudgeons discuss the importance of tires and the dramatic grip disparity between various tire types in the snow. Then they open up their driving history spreadsheets once again for more random number generator car reviews! Jason heads to Lake Tahoe just after a 4-foot snow storm that somehow never materialized. After trekking another 2,000+ feet up in elevation to Mt Rose, he found some, and a simultaneously serene and serendipitous photoshoot ensued. Caravaning up the mountain alongside the van were Jason's pals in a VinFast VF8 (which easily beats the van in a roll race) and a Range Rover. Someone has to call AAA – guess who! Jason is incensed by the farcical chain-control restrictions which forced him – driving the FWD van on brand new dedicated winter tires – to pull over and install chains on the slushy roadside, while countless boobs driving AWD SUVs wearing all-seasons or even summer tires were allowed to pass right through (one of which winds up totalled in a Jersey Barrier). The Carmudgeons can't stress enough the importance of tires. Especially in the wet and snow. We'll cover stopping distances of various tire types, and recommend excellent videos from both Engineering Explained and Tyre Reviews on YouTube – especially this one measuring stopping distances and acceleration times on snow using a variety of tire types and grip enhancement measures like chains, ladders, snow socks and more: https://youtu.be/W-k_1gz87vM?si=gR3iIm_77Go1vzmZ Following the tire discussion, we dive into yet another Random Number Generator Car Reviews session. The Carmudgeons will recount their drives in the following cars: Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic Wagon W210 First-gen Porsche Panamera (alongside a 760Li and S63) B8 Audi S4 3.0 “Tupercharged” Acura TL SH-AWD 6-speed (and ZDX) 1957 Porsche Speedster with 4-cam Carrera engine 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 2006 Mk5 VW GTI 2.0T 1960 Alfa Giulietta Spider Veloce 2012 E90 BMW M3 Competition Package 2007 Chevy HHR Panel van 2006 Jaguar XJR 2023 Acura Integra Type-S 2009 Ford Escape 4-cyl 1949 Hudson Super 6 Convertible 2010 Jaguar XFR 5.0 Supercharged 1971 Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet 2019 Mazda3 AWD Sedan 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish 2019 Genesis G70 AWD 1974 Lancia Stratos HF 2008 Ford Expedition 2000 BMW Z3 2.3i 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty Diesel 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Tiptronic Jason once got to play policeman while driving around a 2012 CLS63 AMG Fashion Force “police” car that Mercedes created for New York Fashion Week, where he tickets egregiously modified cars.

Hay coches descapotables muy bonitos. Sin duda, la mayoría. Y me puse a preparar un guion sobre los 10 más bonitos. Luego pensé, ¿y si busco los más bonitos y las más feos? Y me puse manos a la obra porque… ¿creéis que es posible hacer un descapotable feo? Ya veréis que sí. Tanto me sorprendí, que este video está dedicado unicamente a los feos… así es la vida. ¿Habéis oído las advertencias? ¡Pues hacedlas caso! Bromas aparte, algunos de estos coches ya los conocéis pues pese a ser descapotables se han “colado” en las listas de los coches más feos de la historia en la categoría que podríamos denominar “absoluta” … Si diseñar coches feos ya tiene cierto mérito, conseguir que un descapotable sea fea tiene aún más mérito… pero hay gente que lo consigue. Después de esta lista, me lo contáis. Pero os adelanto una cosa, ya he puesto este ejemplo otras veces, hay perritos tan, pero tan feos… que tienen su encanto… pues con alguno de estos coches sucede lo mismo. Iba a ordenarlos de menos feo a más feo. ¡He cambiado de opinión! Voy a ordenarlos por orden alfabético de marca y luego vosotros me decís cuál es vuestro “podio” con los tres más feos. ¡Vamos allá! 1. Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (2004). La tontería de hacer un SUV descapotable ya la hizo, entre otro, Range Rover con su precioso Evoque Cabrio, un coche absurdo, pesado, poco práctico y caro, que no triunfo, pero tuvo su público. 2. Chevrolet SSR (2003). Ya hemos visto que se puede quitar el techo a un monovolumen o a un SUV… y en Chrysler alguien, con una pick up delante, dijo la famosa frase de “hay que no hay huev*** de quitar el techo a un pick up”. 3. Ford Streetka (2003). Comienzo con una confesión: Yo rengo un Ford Ka, pero el “Plus” de 5 puertas, el coche que fue de mi hijo y que de momento he heredado yo como coche “utilitario”. Pero el primer Ka era, según Ford, un modelo muy original. Según yo, un modelo muy feo. 4. Geo Metro Convertible (1992). Ya sabéis mi simpatía por Suzuki, nunca la he ocultado. Aunque desde luego el Suzuki Cultus no es el mejor ni el más bonito. Y de este modelo derivaba el Geo Metro. 5. Mitsubishi Colt CZC (2006). A ver, realmente más que feo este coche es que parece de chiste, como una caricatura. Es un coche con apenas 3,8 metros de largo y hacer un descapotable de esa longitud que sea bonito, no es fácil. 6. Nissan Micra (2005). En realidad, un “Cabrio Coupé” más que un descapotable puro, de esos que arrasaron a finales de los 90 y sobre todo principios de los 2000 y que luego han desaparecido. 7. Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet (2011). Otros “visionarios” que pensaron: “Vamos a hacer un SUV Cabriolet y lo vamos a petar” y partiendo de un Murano, un coche discreto y hasta elegante, diseñaron este CrossCabriolet que desde luego no era ni discreto ni elegante. 8. Peugeot 206 CC (2001). Vo a ser claro: No me gustan ninguno de los Peugeot CC, ni este 206 ni el 207 ni el 308. En estos modelos de tracción delantera, querer rebajar la línea de cintura hace que el morro, en proporción, sea mucho más voluminoso que la parte posterior… me parecen, por expresarlo de alguna manera, “cabezones”. 9. Pontiac Sunfire (1995). Aquí estamos, en mi opinión ante uno de los coches que puede hacer podio en esta elección. Este o el Chevrolet Cavalier Cabrio, que era más o menos el mismo engendro… perdón… el mismo coche. 10. Siata 500 Record (1938). Me he centrado en modelos más recientes, aunque no quería olvidarme de oros más antiguos. Porque coches feos se hacen ahora, pero en mayor o menor medido, se han hecho siempre. 11. Subaru STi Convertible (2011). Sí, aunque no lo parezca hay algo más tonto que hacer un SUV, un monovolumen o un Pick Up descapotable. ¿El qué? Hacer descapotable un coche de 4 puertas nacido para los rallyes. 12. Veritas SP90 Spohn (1949). Esta marca alemana no es muy conocida… no me extraña que si hacía estos coches muchos la hayan querido olvidar. Os recuerdo una cosa: En 1936 nació el BMW 328 un deportivo diseñado por Fritz Fiedler que es realmente bonito. 12+1. Yugo 55 Convertible (1990). Un candidato a pelear por las primeras posiciones en esta selección del cabrio más feo de la historia. Este modelo, conocido por Yugo 55 o GV en Europa y por Zastava Koral en mercados del Este, era la versión sintecho del conocido Yugo, uno de los coches que siempre están en la lista de los más feos o los más peligrosos… a mí me da penita, pero es lo que hay.

 Key pointsConvertible notes provide sellers flexibility to participate in upside if the business performs well, while also offering some downside protection.Convertible notes involve a seller providing a loan to the buyer, with the option to convert the remaining balance to equity at a future trigger point.The conversion trigger is typically a date or milestone, after which the seller can choose to convert the note to equity rather than receive the remaining cash payout.Convertible notes are commonly used in IT services M&A to allow sellers to "have a second bite at the apple" if the combined business grows significantly.Thorough due diligence on the buyer's financial stability and growth plans is critical for sellers considering a convertible note.Dilution from multiple acquisitions is generally not a major concern with convertible notes, as the structure can be designed to minimize impact.Key negotiable terms for convertible notes include interest rate, payment schedule, and conversion triggers/parameters.Sellers should seek legal and M&A advisory expertise when structuring convertible notes to ensure favorable terms.The main benefits of convertible notes for sellers are reduced upfront risk and the ability to participate in future upside.

Enter the JK Armament CCX Suppressor, or can if you prefer. So small and light that it can be used on a pistol without a booster, and still puts in the work when it comes to performance. Typically, when we look at a suppressor, we are stuck in a "pick 2 on the menu" situation. If the choices are light weight, top performance, and low cost, we're forced to pick 2 choice and sacrifice the third. The CCX suppressor is light weight, and low cost, but how does it perform?One part evaluation, another part address to how we think of suppressors, this episode of the REDACTED Culture Cast bridges the gap between what a suppressor does, and what we might do with it.

Motorcycling.  It's transportation and a cool means for travel, but if you're like me, it's the same play that I experienced in my childhood.  When we go out for a ride, we go out to play, sometimes alone and sometimes with our friends, and that's a beautiful thing.  What a gift to be able to do that!

In this episode of Weaver: The Alternative Edge, hosts Blayne Lowary and Vardeep Mann delve into the intricacies of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS). This conversation provides crucial information for investors and fund managers looking to maximize tax benefits through QSBS. Lowary and Mann bring valuable insights into how QSBS can be a significant advantage for non-corporate taxpayers, providing substantial exclusions on capital gains. Key Points: • QSBS can provide substantial tax exclusions, potentially excluding up to $40 million of gain from taxable income.• Claiming QSBS benefits requires proper documentation and portfolio company representation.• Investors should be aware of pitfalls like warehouse investments and subsequent closes, which may disqualify QSBS eligibility. Lowary and Mann discuss the key aspects and potential challenges of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS). They emphasize the importance of understanding QSBS eligibility criteria, including the need for proper documentation and portfolio company representations. “One of the requirements for stock to be eligible for QSBS is it has to be received upon original issuance,” Lowary said.Additionally, the discussion covers critical gray areas, such as the impact of convertible notes and SAFEs on QSBS eligibility and the complexities surrounding carried interest. “Convertible notes and SAFEs are a gray area, specifically regarding when the clock starts for the five-year hold period,” Mann said.

Sitting in for Jill this week is Tom's friend, engineer and car guy David Piluski. Dave and Tom opened the show addressing a mistake Tom made—called out by Tom's mother—last week. Tom misidentified the longtime singer of the classic “See the U.S.A. in Your Chevrolet” ad/song as Doris Day, though as noted by his mom, the song was sung by Dinah Shore. Listen in to hear a clip of the song. Dave and Tom addressed a second error from last week, this one called out by listener Celio. Dave went on to share a story about how a rental Dodge Shadow Convertible—back in the early Nineties—suffered from so much body flex that the doors would not close on a gentle incline. Still in the first segment, Tom shared his impressions of the all-new—and surprisingly luxurious—Mazda CX-70 2-row midsize crossover. Tom also reviewed the exotic-looking Lexus LC 500 Convertible. Tom is baffled that the car does not sell better. Listen in for the full review. In the second segment, Dave and Tom are joined by comic, podcaster, and legendary Chicago radio host Steve Cochran. Steve talked about his podcast, and then shared stories about his first cars and learning to drive. Learn why Steve once gave away a car he owned at a radio-station promotional event. In the last segment Dave is subjected to Tom's “1983!” quiz. To wrap up the show, Dave shared news regarding a California bill (SB961) now before Governor Gavin Newsom, which would require cars to alert drivers when the speed limit was being exceeded by more than 10 mph. Dave also talked about his own podcast. 

In this week's episode, we talk about Polestar 3 US production, range-testing Lucid Air Grand Touring, VW pushing back Trinity, EV rental drama, Cybertruck RWD, the Pininfarina Targamerica, and much, much more.
