Il y a des trajectoires qu'aucun scénariste n'oserait écrire.Ferdinand Ayrault : ancien trader en salle des marchés, magicien professionnel, et désormais l'un des Français les plus en vue sur le circuit ultra américain.Il y a des coureurs qui arrivent au trail par vocation. Ferdinand, lui, y est arrivé par hasard— une promesse oubliée lors d'une soirée un peu arrosée à Hong Kong, des chaussures empruntées trois pointures trop grandes, et une nuit blanche sur les sentiers de l'Oxfam Trailwalker. C'était il y a quelques années. Depuis, le décor a changé, mais l'élan, lui, n'a jamais faibli.À 33 ans, Ferdinand vit à New York, à deux pas de Central Park. Ancien trader en salle des marchés, il a tout quitté pour vivre de ses deux passions : la magie — il se produit sous le nom de The Magic Runner — et la course à pied. Dans cet épisode, il nous raconte ce chemin improbable, de la finance à l'ultra, de Hong Kong au désert de l'Arizona, avec cette légèreté communicative et ce feu intérieur qui font toute sa singularité.Le cœur de l'épisode, c'est la Black Canyon Ultra — 100 kilomètres à travers le désert de Sonoran, l'une des courses phares du World Trail Major circuit américain, avec un golden ticket pour la Western States à la clé. Ferdinand y revient pour la troisième fois en 2026, après une première édition prometteuse et une deuxième rocambolesque : égaré sans eau dans le désert, dépouillé de son chrono en dépit de sa bonne foi, disqualifié. De quoi revenir les dents serrées.Il nous raconte cette nouvelle tentative avec une clarté désarmante — les problèmes d'estomac, le doute au kilomètre 30, la remontée sur la deuxième partie avec son pacer Will Murray à ses côtés, et cette sixième place à quatre minutes du ticket tant convoité. Une course à la fois frustrante et magnifique, qui dit beaucoup sur ce que l'endurance fait à un athlète — et à un homme.On parle aussi de culture trail américaine, du pacing, de la scène ultra outre-Atlantique, et de cette philosophie qui irrigue tout son chemin : good training.Parce que pour Ferdinand, chaque épreuve — qu'elle soit réussie ou non — est une matière première.

In August of 1914, the United States of America completed a man-made waterway through the Panamanian isthmus, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the first time in history. But that engineering triumph was the culmination of decades of toil, conflict and death. In this first episode of a multi-part series on the Panama Canal, we trace the origins of its construction, beginning with the doomed French attempt and its tragic protagonist, Ferdinand de Lesseps.      SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

Franz Schubert compôs sua Sinfonia nº 9 em Dó maior, conhecida como “A Grande” (Grosse C-Dur), entre 1825 e 1826, durante uma fase de relativa prosperidade. Ele viajava pela Áustria acompanhado do barítono Michael Vogl, intérprete de seus lieder, e finalmente começava a conquistar reconhecimento e estabilidade financeira.O apelido “A Grande” surgiu para distingui-la da Sinfonia nº 6 em Dó maior, chamada de “Pequena” (Kleine C-Dur). Mas o título também reflete sua escala monumental: a obra dura cerca de uma hora, rivalizando em extensão com a Nona de Beethoven, que Schubert havia assistido em 1824 e que o inspirou profundamente.Apesar de concluída em 1826, a sinfonia não foi executada em vida do compositor. O manuscrito permaneceu guardado até ser descoberto em 1838 por Robert Schumann, que o encontrou entre os papéis de Ferdinand, irmão de Schubert. Schumann ficou impressionado e levou a partitura a Leipzig, onde Felix Mendelssohn estreou a obra em 1839. Porém, preocupado com a resistência do público, Mendelssohn apresentou apenas parte da sinfonia. A execução integral só se consolidaria décadas depois, quando os músicos já estavam preparados para enfrentar sua extensão e complexidade.Apresentado por Aarão Barreto (em sua estreia) com Aroldo Glomb na bancada Seja nosso padrinho: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apoia.se/conversadecamara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RELAÇÃO DE PADRINS Aarão Barreto, Adriano Caldas, Gustavo Klein, Fernanda Itri, Eduardo Barreto, Fernando Ricardo de Miranda, Leonardo Mezzzomo,Thiago Takeshi Venancio Ywata, Gustavo Holtzhausen, João Paulo Belfort , Arthur Muhlenberg e Rafael Hassan.

Er ist ein präziser Beobachter der menschlichen Abgründe mit einer leisen, aber eindringlichen Stimme: Ferdinand von Schirach. Der deutsche Strafverteidiger und Schriftsteller wird 1964 in München geboren und wächst in einer traditionsreichen, politisch und kulturell geprägten Familie auf. Nach dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften in Bonn gründet er eine eigene Kanzlei und arbeitet viele Jahre als Strafverteidiger – Erfahrungen, die seine ausdrucksstarken Werke maßgeblich prägen. Sein literarischer Durchbruch gelingt ihm 2009 mit dem Erzählband "Verbrechen", in dem er reale Fälle in eine nüchterne, fast kühle Sprache übersetzt und dabei große Fragen nach Schuld, Verantwortung und Moral stellt. Es folgen erfolgreiche Bücher wie "Schuld", "Der Fall Collini" oder "Kaffee und Zigaretten", die international gelesen und vielfach verfilmt oder für die Bühne adaptiert werden. Ferdinand von Schirach stellt das deutsche Rechtssystem und unser Empfinden für Recht und Unrecht, Schuld und Unschuld immer wieder auf den Prüfstand des Gewissens. Bei 3nach9 spricht Ferdinand von Schirach über prägende Erlebnisse aus seiner Kindheit und welche Stunden des Tages zu seinen schönsten zählen.

Les Ferdinand is back — and this one goes everywhere.From the pressure of wearing the iconic number nine shirt to why modern football has drifted away from two-striker partnerships, Les doesn't hold back. There's a proper centre-forward masterclass in here — plus a full dissection of diving, simulation, and why shin pads have basically disappeared.Yes… we're starting the campaign to Make Shin Pads Great Again.We also get stuck into the “blue card” debate, inverted wingers, why no one attacks crosses anymore, and whether football's gone a bit too nice. Then it's straight into predictions, the wife's score calls, and one of the strangest deep dives into mobile phone providers you'll ever hear on a football podcast.Part 2 delivers.If you love proper striker chat, nostalgia, and a bit of chaos — this one's for you.Drop your score predictions below

Analizan un nuevo dispositivo llamado la "inteligencia artificial del sueño": una columna con radar milimétrico, sensor térmico, monitor cardíaco y cámara que evalúa respiración, pulso, postura y condiciones del cuarto sin sensores en el cuerpo, ofrece recomendaciones para mejorar el sueño y permite streaming mientras duermes. También hablan sobre el uso de IA en retratos y arte (la anécdota del supuesto "Ferdinand" de Normando) y la polémica en apps de citas: Ashley Madison anuncia que 57% de sus nuevos miembros son solteros y se orienta a encuentros para solteros, con implicaciones de privacidad y escándalos cuando figuras públicas muestran la app.  

Host Victor records a combined podcast episode (delayed by illness and heavy snow) covering multiple shows, with timestamps promised in show notes. He gives a spoiler-free endorsement of the Night of the Seven Kingdoms finale, praising its more humane, character-focused close and calling several scenes among the best in the Game of Thrones universe. Victor then delivers an in-depth recap of Industry season 4 episode 7 (“Points of Emphasis”), focusing on Yasmin and Henry's unraveling marriage and Henry's dependence on Yasmin to “mother” him. A letter from Whitney is framed as a strategic document meant to implicate Henry in Tender's crisis. Victor emphasizes the episode's themes of narrative as reality in finance and politics, comparing it to real-world corporate valuations and acquisitions, and arguing the economy often runs on belief and storytelling. He outlines Harper's strategy to attack Tender via press and political leaks, Yasmin's manipulation of tabloids and MPs to force a new audit, and internal government backstabbing within the ruling party. Whitney and Henry fly to New York to pitch an overpaying acquisition of PeerPoint to avoid scrutiny, but Whitney is threatened by Ferdinand over the value of Tender's data set. At the PeerPoint meeting, Whitney's claim that shell companies give him standing is later revealed as a lie; PeerPoint used Tender's bid to raise another offer. Whitney disappears, and Tender's stock collapses after the government imposes a full PricewaterhouseCoopers audit, implying Harper's short will pay off. The episode ends with a key Yasmin–Harper reconciliation, mutual admiration, and a club scene where they promise to “have each other's back” and share a nonsexual kiss. Victor is then joined by Alan, who discusses watching Night of the Seven Kingdoms weekly, contrasting it favorably with House of the Dragon. They praise the show's intimate scale, character focus, and finale highlights (Dunk and Arlan under the tree, recurring knighting motifs, Lionel's complexity, Baelor's reflections, Maekar's confession and request to protect his son, Egg's hair reveal, and the “Nine Kingdoms” joke). They note the penultimate episode's violence escalation, discuss criticisms such as “fridging,” and comment on the show's six short episodes and Warner Brothers' stated goal of annual seasons. They move to Paradise season 2 episodes 1–3. They recall Paradise season 1's surprise sci-fi twist and word-of-mouth success, noting the new official podcast. Episode 1 (“Graceland”) follows a new character, portrayed by Shailene Woodley in the present, with flashbacks to her youth and medical training; she lives at Graceland during the early apocalypse, meets Link and his group (who subvert expectations by not being predatory), has sex with Link, becomes pregnant, and hears discussion of a Colorado bunker and an instruction to kill “Alex.” She later sees a burning plane and rides out, leading into episode 2. Episode 2 centers on Xavier's post-bunker flight, crash, encounters with a group of children, and a violent confrontation with an armed adult; Victor and Alan like some flashback material (including Xavier meeting his wife) but find the “lost kids” plotline less compelling. Episode 3 returns to the bunker's politics: the new president proposes “summer” as a quality-of-life change, Sinatra interrogates Jane with a polygraph, and multiple characters experience nosebleeds and visions tied to “Project Alex,” quantum entanglement, and a newly introduced “Venus effect” threat. Alan criticizes implausible plot points, including a bar-room corporate signature transfer and the president's assassination staging, where Jane appears incompetent and relies on convenience to frame Sinatra. The episode ends with Cal's son detained and brought to a secured area connected to Project Alex, while Victor and Alan speculate the season may introduce time-travel elements. They plan to continue weekly discussions when Darren returns. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Show Packed Preamble 02:37 Industry Episode Setup 02:45 Yasmin and Henry Fallout 09:50 Faith Economy Digression 16:46 Whitney Pitch and PurePoint 22:13 Political Backstabbing Plot 30:34 New York Threats and Data 34:03 Deal Collapses and Aftermath 36:26 Yasmin Harper Bonding 40:14 Alan Joins and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'  49:02 Stakes and Spoilers 50:27 Pilot to Finale Shift 52:41 Budget and Battle Clarity 54:20 Fridging and Prequel Pitfalls 57:01 Finale Craft and Knighthood 01:04:10 George Martin Delays 01:08:09 Thrones Ending Debate 01:10:38 Finale Scene Highlights 01:15:00 Maekar Confession Scene 01:16:31 Spotting a Chameleon Actor 01:17:23 Egg's Hair Horror 01:18:08 Finale Tag Debate 01:20:35 Nine Kingdoms Math 01:23:00 Wrap Up and Switch Shows 01:23:30 Paradise Premise and Twist 01:26:26 Fogelman and This Is Us Tone 01:28:37 Pulpy Fun vs Prestige Drama 01:30:48 Eighty Songs Running Gag 01:31:50 Dewey Decimal Theory 01:33:20 Season Two Twist Speculation 01:34:48 Graceland Episode Breakdown 01:38:49 Apocalypse POV and Plot Holes 01:41:31 How Long Would You Survive 01:43:20 Prepping Books and Faraday Plans 01:45:15 Population Collapse Thought Experiment 01:46:29 Gail Dies and Link Arrives 01:47:11 Tactical Crew Subversion 01:48:56 One Night Pregnancy Debate 01:49:57 Messiah Parallel and Awkward Sex 01:52:22 Body Hair Realism and Hesitation 01:55:39 Burning Plane and Horse Return 01:58:21 Nosebleeds and Time Fugue 02:00:20 Xavier Crash and Lost Boys 02:03:54 Flashback Romance and Blindness 02:07:07 Swamp Fight and Kid Brutality 02:10:15 Back to Bunker Politics 02:12:54 Climate Control Logic 02:14:15 Diplomacy Fail Fallout 02:16:08 Venus Effect Escalation 02:18:19 Quantum Entanglement Talk 02:21:42 Billy Hitman Flashback 02:23:11 Barroom Paperwork Nitpick 02:26:16 Polygraph Loophole Bug 02:28:35 Nosebleeds and Visions 02:30:44 President Assassination Setup 02:34:54 Project Alex and Wrap Up

Ferdinand von Schirach ist Strafverteidiger und Bestsellerautor – und jemand, der sich seit Jahrzehnten mit Schuld, Gerechtigkeit und der Würde des Menschen beschäftigt. Das letzte Mal war er 2021 im Hotel zu Gast. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, was ein gerechtes Gesetz ist – und ob es so etwas überhaupt geben kann. Wir sprechen über die Würde des Menschen, über das moralphilosophische Gedankenexperiment des Weichenstellers, über Demokratie, Kunst, eine Nahtoderfahrung und warum unser Steuersystem vielleicht nicht reformiert, sondern komplett neu gedacht werden müsste. Es geht um Macht, Verantwortung, Gerechtigkeit und um sein neues Kinderbuch, in dem er versucht, all das einem Zehnjährigen zu erklären.

A pendant linked to Catherine of Aragon has reportedly been discovered — and it's more than just Tudor jewellery. It's a window into one of the most dramatic marriages in English history, the break with Rome, and the personal cost of power.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we explore the significance of a newly identified Tudor pendant associated with Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Was it a romantic gift? A royal emblem? A symbol of legitimacy? Or a silent witness to the collapse of a marriage that changed the course of England forever?Catherine of Aragon was not merely a discarded queen. She was a Spanish princess, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, regent of England during Henry's campaigns, and a woman of formidable intelligence and deep Catholic faith. Her refusal to accept Henry's annulment triggered the English Reformation and the establishment of the Church of England under royal supremacy.We examine how Henry VIII used Scripture to justify his desire for a male heir, how the Tudor court turned marriage into political theatre, and how Catherine's dignity in exile reshaped the moral narrative of the Reformation. The discovery of a Catherine of Aragon pendant invites fresh discussion about Tudor history, royal authority, marriage, conscience, and the abuse of power.With Mark's poetic reflections and Pete's Christian commentary, this episode asks: what happens when rulers bend truth to serve appetite? And what does this Tudor drama teach modern Britain about covenant, leadership, and integrity?This is history, faith, politics, and cultural reflection — all wrapped in one small piece of gold.Topics include: Catherine of Aragon pendant, Henry VIII marriage crisis, Tudor England, English Reformation, Church of England origins, royal divorce, Catholic vs Protestant history, biblical marriage, power and conscience, British history podcast.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, we're joined by one of the Premier League's original centre-forward royalty… Les Ferdinand.Before the goal compilations, before the Sky Sports montages, before strikers were measured by pressing data and heat maps, there was “Sir Les”. QPR icon. Newcastle hero. The man leading the line when the Premier League still felt brand new. A proper No.9. Power, presence, goals everywhere he went. If you grew up in the 90s, you knew exactly what Les Ferdinand meant.He joins Pete, Sids and Chris to talk about the journey from West London non-league graft to becoming one of the most feared forwards in the country. There's the unbelievable story of starting out as a goalkeeper, the Turkey move that changed his mentality forever, and the sliding doors moment with Manchester United that could have rewritten football history. We get into loyalty, ambition, dressing room politics and the brutal advice from Ray Wilkins that stuck with him for life. It's honest, funny, reflective and packed with the kind of insight only someone who's lived it can give.We've split our conversation Les into two parts, and after we transition out of the nostalgia fuelled Part 1, things immediately descend into remote chaos.We build up to Macclesfield's FA Cup tie and what it could mean for the pod, update the leaderboard as the pressure ramps up, and dive into this week's Paddy Power predictions with a North London Derby thrown into the mix. There's a live package opened on air that nobody fully understands, some technical mishaps, a bit of shouting about scores, and the sort of disorder that only seems to happen when we're not all in the same room.Part 2 with Les drops next week.

Host Victor opens by previewing the podcast's current coverage: HBO's Industry (focus of this episode), The Pitt on HBO Max, Apple TV+'s Drops of God, and a Christopher Nolan rewatch ahead of The Odyssey (with upcoming discussion of Insomnia). He also mentions upcoming premieres including Paradise, which remains the podcast's most popular show. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Victor calls Industry's episode “Dear Henry” an elite, event-packed installment that feels like a season finale while resolving little. He follows up on last week's revelation that Tender is effectively a Ponzi scheme by outlining real-world analogs: the FTX collapse (FTX/Alameda circular self-inflation via the FTT token), Germany's Wirecard fraud (manufactured transactions, overpaying for acquisitions, auditors' failures, and political/regulatory protection including actions against Financial Times reporting), and Theranos as a charisma-driven deception. He also notes money-laundering examples involving Ghana and argues the show's broader theme is the emptiness of a culture fixated on wealth, valuation, and belief-driven “truth,” raising questions about how much corporate value is overstated and whether society celebrates con men. Joined by Darren, they first discuss the Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (episodes 1–5), praising its intimacy, sets, humor, acting, and a brutal recent battle episode, and noting its short season and fast production cadence. They then break down “Dear Henry”: Harper warns Yasmin that she and Henry were duped by Whitney, and while Yasmin reacts defensively, the warning sinks in. Whitney's unsettling dynamic with Henry escalates (including a bathroom/shower moment and later clubbing), while Henry grows suspicious about Tender's audit and Whitney's manipulation. Sweetpea's public takedown presentation at an Alpha conference drives Tender's stock down sharply and impresses Eric, who watches with pride. In Ghana, a planned whistleblower meeting is disrupted when Whitney arrives first and intimidates the potential source (Tony), reinforcing fears of more dangerous forces behind Tender. Later, Whitney is revealed to be using a fabricated identity (a Lithuanian passport is shown) and a conversation indicates Russian-linked backers are laundering money through Tender, trapping Whitney and raising the stakes for everyone. They discuss Whitney's use of high-end escorts as tools for access and influence; Hayley confirms she and others were planted around key figures and that sex acts were recorded, confronting Yasmin with how they were exploited. Eric receives a compromising video involving an underage girl (“Dolly”) while with his daughter, but still appears on TV to push for a new audit, warning Whitney not to corner him and implying he could expose Whitney. Henry fires an auditor and tries to assert control as CEO, while Whitney continues drafting a “Dear Henry” letter about a “hole in the bucket,” revealed as a cash-flow/shortfall problem. The episode culminates in Eric meeting Harper with a lawyer present; he asks only for his original investment back to be put in trusts for his daughters if the short pays off, suggesting he may be planning to exit entirely. Eric admits he felt genuine pride watching Sweetpea, more than he expected he could feel, and the final image of him walking alone fuels Victor and Darren's concern about possible suicide or at least Eric's departure from the show. They close by anticipating two remaining Industry episodes, the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finale, and the upcoming launch of Paradise, while noting Darren will be traveling and will catch up later. 00:00 Welcome & What We're Covering This Week (Industry, The Pit, Drops of God, Nolan Rewatch) 02:36 Why This Week's Industry Episode ‘Dear Henry' Feels Like a Finale 03:20 Tender as a Ponzi: Looking for Real-World Analogs 05:24 FTX Explained: The Circular Token House of Cards 10:27 Wirecard: The Closer European Parallel (Fraud, Audits, Politics) 18:26 More Scams & Money Laundering Threads: Theranos, Ghana, and Beyond 19:59 What Industry Is Really Saying: The Emptiness of Wealth Culture 23:49 Darren Joins: Quick Detour Into the New GoT Prequel ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' 39:41 Back to Industry: First Impressions, Then Scene-by-Scene Breakdown Begins (Yasmin & Harper) 42:46 Yasmin vs. Harper: Self-Made Power vs. Riding Coattails 43:32 Trailer Talk: Are Harper & Yasmin Two Sides of the Same Coin? 45:48 Whitney's Shower Ambush & the ‘Hole in the Bucket' Letter 49:44 Boarding School ‘Experimentation' and Henry's Growing Suspicion 52:12 Whitney's Intimate Manipulation: Touch, Jealousy, and Control 57:03 Political Satire + Real-World Scam Parallels (FTX, Wirecard, Theranos) 01:01:35 ‘Too Big to Fail' Lies: Can a Fake World Hold Together? 01:03:06 Clubbing, Relapse Energy, and Henry's Night Spirals 01:05:53 Was Jim's Overdose a Setup?

Et af de helt store svindlertricks skal i brug, da Ferdinand Waldo Demara som ung mand pludselig befinder sig i en blindgyde. Det sender ham afsted på endnu et bedragertogt, der om muligt er endnu mere dristigt end hans forrige. Han kaster sig nu ud i livet som blandt andet teologistuderende og læge - og især det sidste bringer ham ud på en færd, der er svær at begribe. Hør Peter Løhde fra Vanvittig Verdenshistorie fortælle om “The Great Imposters” improviserede operationer på sårede soldater, der til sidst fører til den store afsløring.

Var den amerikanske bedrager Ferdinand Waldo Demara den ultimative spøgefugl? I løbet af 40'erne og 50'erne lykkedes det ham at påtage sig utallige forskellige identiteter – enten opdigtede eller stjålne - og besidde det ene krævende og prestigefyldte job efter det andet. Hans ungdom gik med at rejse fra kloster til kloster, forbi universiteter og hæren. Altid smuttede han videre, så snart han kedede sig eller var tæt på at blive opdaget. Krimiland ser på den hæsblæsende historie om “The Great Imposter” og hans vilde bedrifter. Gæst: Peter Løhde, vært på podcasten Vanvittig Verdenshistorie. Vært: Signe Frederikke Pedersen.

La Guadeloupe porte un nom qui sonne presque comme une évidence aujourd'hui… mais il est en réalité le résultat d'un choc entre deux mondes : les Caraïbes amérindiens et l'Europe de la fin du XVe siècle. Et derrière ce nom, il y a une histoire étonnante, à la fois religieuse, politique et coloniale.Avant l'arrivée des Européens, l'île n'avait évidemment pas “Guadeloupe” pour nom. Les peuples amérindiens qui l'habitaient — notamment les Kalinagos, qu'on appelle souvent Caraïbes — utilisaient d'autres noms. Le plus connu est “Karukera” ou “Karu Kera”, souvent traduit par “l'île aux belles eaux”, en référence à ses rivières, cascades et sources abondantes. Cette expression correspond parfaitement au paysage guadeloupéen : une île volcanique, verte, humide, généreuse en eau douce.Le nom “Guadeloupe” apparaît au moment de la seconde expédition de Christophe Colomb vers le “Nouveau Monde”. En novembre 1493, Colomb atteint l'île. Et comme souvent à cette époque, il ne reprend pas le nom local : il la rebaptise selon ses propres références culturelles, religieuses et symboliques. Il l'appelle “Santa María de Guadalupe”.Ce choix n'est pas anodin. En Espagne, “Guadalupe” est un lieu extrêmement célèbre : le monastère royal de Santa María de Guadalupe, situé en Estrémadure. C'est l'un des grands sanctuaires de la chrétienté ibérique, associé à une Vierge noire très vénérée. Le site est un symbole puissant de l'Espagne catholique, dans une période où la monarchie veut affirmer son autorité et sa mission religieuse.Il faut se souvenir que 1492-1493, ce sont les années où l'Espagne est en pleine exaltation : la Reconquista vient de s'achever avec la prise de Grenade, les souverains catholiques Isabelle et Ferdinand affirment un projet impérial, et l'expansion maritime s'accompagne d'une lecture spirituelle du monde : explorer, c'est aussi “christianiser”.Donc, en nommant l'île “Guadalupe”, Colomb fait plus que baptiser un territoire : il l'inscrit dans un imaginaire chrétien et espagnol. C'est une manière de marquer la possession symbolique : renommer, c'est déjà prendre.Avec le temps, “Santa María de Guadalupe” se raccourcit et devient “Guadeloupe”. Le nom s'impose, malgré la colonisation française ultérieure, et finit par effacer dans les usages officiels les noms amérindiens plus anciens.En résumé : la Guadeloupe s'appelle ainsi parce que Christophe Colomb l'a rebaptisée en 1493 en hommage à la Vierge de Guadalupe, grande figure religieuse espagnole. Un nom qui raconte à lui seul l'entrée brutale des Caraïbes dans l'histoire européenne. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Post-1391 there was a period of uncertainty but many Conversos still found it possible to maintain a level of observance - sometimes even openly. It appeared that a Modus Vivendi could be achieved. But in 1477 the Church persuaded Ferdinand & Isabella to institute the Inquisition; aimed not at Jews but at the 'heretical' New Christians.    The 1480s became a decade of hiding, yet scholarship was increased and Spain became a centre of Jewish printing until the axe fell for the remaining Jews in 1492, and 4 months of despair turned into a mass exodus.   Their decision to abandon everything and leave for the unknown - at great cost - was the largest display of faith in the past 1,000 years of Jewish history.   Timestamps: - [0:00] Topic setup: Spain Part 2 — continuation on conversos/Jewish life pre- and post-1480.   - [0:44] Intro & announcements: new website historyforthecurious.com and listener emails (Menorah/Vatican).   - [6:07] Recap: 1391 massacres and Tortosa debates intensified pressure on Jews/conversos.   - [12:15] Inquisition origins (1480): state-backed institution, torture, informers, auto-da-fé spectacles.   - [20:07] Converso impact: shift from preserving family cohesion to living secret “cover stories.”   - [24:28] La Guardia case (1491): blood libel, forced confessions, executions used to build case for expulsion.   - [30:57] 1492: Fall of Granada and the Alhambra Decree — four months to leave, severe loss of property.   - [52:18] Exodus hardships: banditry, ship abuses, disease, starvation; some returned/converted.   - [56:07] Demographics: estimated ~150,000 left; major resettlement in Ottoman lands and North Africa.   - [40:21 / 45:53] Culture & print: strong late-medieval Spanish rabbinic scholarship and early Hebrew printing; many books later burned but printing continued in exile.   - [1:00:17] Legacy: Sephardic communities revitalized elsewhere; theme — persecution paired with spiritual resilience.

We return for Part 2 of our Scott Galloway deep dive, where the vibes remain strong, the confidence unwavering, and the relationship with empirical evidence increasingly… decorative.Returning to our Modern Wisdom safari, we continue navigating the forbidden terrain of men, masculinity, and male suffering: a topic so dangerous that it requires constant ritual disclaimers, whispered caveats, and the occasional nervous glance around the bar to make sure we can take out the other men if necessary.We cover Scott's outline of his masculine Third Way: rejecting both the Right's “Bring Back the Fifties” masculinity and the Left's “Men Are the Problem” framework, in favour of a solution that might be described as Stern Dad Who's Also Nice About It. Prepare to thrill at proposals of mandatory national service, kindness as a masculine superpower, and the radical idea that young people might benefit from not being economically crushed.Things get spicier when we're told what women really want and learn about the adaptive skill check of the female orgasm. Chris Williamson unveils a prepared essay on What Men Want which proves to be a moving piece of therapeutic slam poetry that somehow manages to combine manosphere grievance mongering with woke therapy talk. We learn how what men really just want to be told is “you are enough" and should be kind for kindness sake, but also should optimise their friend group such that they can properly signal their high mate quality and train hard enough to take out all other males in the bar.Finally, we hit peak Decoding Mode as Scott's statistics begin to escalate: boys are ten times more likely to kill themselves, father absence turns sons into inmates, daughters into promiscuous approval-seekers, and nearly every claim is delivered with total confidence and minimal concern for effect sizes, confounds, or whether the study actually exists. Decorative scholarship is in full bloom.We do our best as two hyper-masculine men to separate reasonable concerns about boys, mentorship, and social policy from hyperbolic factoids, pop-psych inflation, and the familiar habit of smuggling moral arguments in under the banner of “what the science says.”Bring your hunting knife and stoic daily diary. Take your testosterone injection.

Why is it so hard to lose weight—and even harder to keep it off? In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research showing that fat cells can retain an epigenetic "memory" of obesity, even after significant weight loss. This emerging science helps explain why weight regain is so common and why willpower alone is not the issue. We're joined by Ferdinand von Meyenn, Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich, where he leads research on nutrition and metabolic epigenetics. Prof. von Meyenn has published over 60 peer-reviewed papers, with work featured in top scientific journals including Nature and Cell. Together, we unpack what "obesogenic memory" really means, how epigenetics allows fat cells to adapt—and remember—past environments, and why long-term exposure to excess calories can biologically prime the body to regain weight faster in the future. In this conversation, you'll learn: What epigenetics is and how it differs from genetics How fat cells adapt to chronic overnutrition—and why those changes can persist after weight loss Why short-term weight changes are easier to reverse than long-term weight gain How this research challenges the idea that weight regain is a personal failure What current data suggests about bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, and long-term outcomes The role of inflammation, adipose tissue signaling, and the brain in body-weight regulation Why prevention matters—and why compassion matters even more for those already affected What researchers hope to uncover next about rewriting epigenetic memory This episode offers a powerful, science-based reframe: difficulty maintaining weight loss is not about weakness—it's about biology adapting to past environments. Understanding this may open the door to more effective, humane, and sustainable approaches to metabolic health in the future.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Ferdinand Santos, a scientist with a background in physics and IT, shares his sceptical views on space exploration and scientific narratives.He argues, using probability theory, that many historical space events, like the moon landing, were staged and questions the authenticity of the evidence presented. Ferdinand adds that the technology and logistics claimed by NASA doesn't add up, and uses probability theory to challenge their claims.He also discusses his views on scientism, suggesting that much of what is accepted as science is driven by philosophical rather than empirical evidence.Ferdinand is critical of mainstream narratives and encourages critical thinking to question established beliefs.✉️ Subscribe to my excellent newsletter

Dr Ferdinand Santos III - not his real name - is a Canadian physicist with numerous university degrees, who writes about ‘scientism' or the corruption of science by philosophy and materialism. Here he explains to James how the moon landings were obviously fake because they were impossible to achieve. And the Soviets were in on it because most of their space endeavours - especially Yuri Gagarin's - were fake too. https://unstabbinated.substack.com ↓ ↓ ↓ Monetary Metals is providing a true alternative to saving and earning in dollars by making it possible to save AND EARN in gold and silver.

X-RAYS, SURVEILLANCE, AND MOTION Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. The discovery of X-rays in 1895 sparked a "new photography" craze, though the radiation caused severe injuries to early practitioners and subjects. Photography also entered the realm of surveillance; British authorities used hidden cameras to photograph suffragettes, while doctors documented asylum patients without consent. Finally, Eadweard Muybridge's experiments captured horses in motion, settling debates about locomotion and laying the technical groundwork for the future development of motion pictures.

Ferdinand I. ist ein mächtiger Herrscher auf der iberischen Halbinsel. Er bekämpft die Muslime, verbündet sich mit ihnen - und lässt sie zahlen. Er stirbt am 27.12.1065. Von Murat Kayi.

Before Anne Bonny. Before Grace O'Malley. There was Sayyida al-Hurra — the Pirate Queen of the Mediterranean. In this episode of For the Love of History, we uncover the extraordinary true story of Sayyida al-Hurra, a Muslim woman who rose to power in the late 1400s and became one of the most feared pirates in history. Born in Granada during the violence of the Reconquista, Sayyida was forced to flee Spain as Catholic rulers Ferdinand and Isabella expelled, enslaved, and murdered thousands of Muslims. That injustice would shape her destiny. After becoming governor of Tetouan (Tétouan), Morocco, Sayyida didn't just rule — she fought back. Partnering with the legendary Ottoman pirate Hayreddin Barbarossa (Redbeard), she launched relentless naval attacks against Spanish and Portuguese ships, dominating the Mediterranean and earning her title as the unrivaled pirate queen. Her piracy wasn't just about wealth; it was about defense, revenge, and protecting displaced Muslim communities. This episode explores: The Reconquista and the forced expulsion of Muslims from Spain How Sayyida al-Hurra became a female political leader and naval commander Her alliance with Barbarossa, one of history's most famous pirates Pirate warfare, ransom, and Mediterranean power politics How piracy rebuilt Tetouan into a thriving city Why European powers feared her — and her people adored her Her unprecedented marriage to the Sultan of Morocco on her own terms Sayyida al-Hurra's legacy lives on in the walls of Tetouan, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in the history of women who refused to be erased. If you love pirate history, women in power, Islamic history, and stories of resistance against empire, this episode is for you. Grab your sword, your most dramatic blouse, and let's set sail.

Die europäischen Automobilbauer befinden sich in der Zwickmühle. Die USA verhängen Zölle, in China verkaufen sich die Modelle nicht mehr wie früher und außerdem hinkt man in der Elektrotechnik hinterher. Hinzu kommt ein Zickzack-Kurs bei den Regulierungen. Ursprünglich hätte das Verbrenner-Aus ab 2035 fix sein sollen, jetzt ändert die EU-Kommission die Spielregeln. Statt eines vollständigen Verbots, dürfen künftig noch 10 Prozent der verkauften Neuzulassungen mit einem Verbrennermotor ausgestattet sein, wenn auf anderem Weg CO₂-Neutralität hergestellt werden kann. Was es mit dieser schwammigen neuen Lösung auf sich hat, erklärt Autobranchenexperte Ferdinand Dudenhöffer. Er sieht bei der neuen Regelung keine goldenen Zeiten auf die europäischen Autobauer zukommen.

I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.
