Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with the incredible Mark Allen! Dubbed the greatest endurance athlete of all time by ESPN, Mark is sharing the secrets behind his amazing results. Today, in particular, we’re focusing on mindset and motivation. If you haven’t heard part 1 yet, I highly recommend you do that first so you don’t miss any of the wisdom he shares. Mindset is a big part of triathlon training and races. Whether you’re gearing up for a major workout or standing at the start line, the thoughts running through your mind greatly impact your performance. He shares the moment from his first triathlon when he realised what a difference they made. When a competitor passed him, he felt the doubt creep in, his body tightened up and everything started to feel harder. Taking a moment to clear his mind he was able to acknowledge there was still plenty of time to retake his positon. This allowed him to regain his stride and overtake the competitor, securing fourth place amongst legends like Dave Scott and Scott Molina. A lot of people use affirmations to fight the doubt, and while it helped for training, Mark found they felt hollow when the fatigue of raceday sets in. Instead, quieting your mind reduces anxiety and allows you to give your best. It’s also a great tool outside of racing. Whether it’s an intense workout or one of life’s difficult moments, the ability to pause and find that quiet is invaluable. Realising it’s okay to let certain tasks wait if a larger priority needs attention helps in balancing life and triathlons. We then pivoted to an important aspect of training—periodisation. Mark suggests training should be broken down into manageable segments, so you can avoid risk of becoming overwhelmed. Many athletes make the mistake of constant training without rest, which can lead to physical and mental fatigue. But Mark emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing feelings of burnout or self-doubt. Sometimes a lack of motivation might be a signal to rest or recalibrate your goals. This is particularly important for age groupers juggling various commitments alongside their training. It’s about consistency and realistic goal-setting—stretching just beyond your comfort zone to discover what you’re truly capable of. Finally Mark shares how the lessons learned in triathlon can be applied to life. Accepting that achieving big goals often takes longer and requires more energy than anticipated can prevent burnout. And a mindset of patience and learning will make the journey rewarding, regardless of the outcome.

Next up, the guys discuss the situation at Arlington National Cemetery with Trumps security detail (secret service) and a story about an altercation and Trump's people showing a woman.

This week we put the focus back on politics because the whole world ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THAT, not nobodies... John Scheper is back to discuss all aspects of this situation with Donald Trump. Currently embroiled in a hush money trial, Trump is trying everything to make it look like he matters to the world. Giving fake keys to the White House, farting and making people ill with their smell...the former president is in rare form currently. But with all this happneing, is this the best two options for our country currently? Scheper provides some insight into this stance and position across the country.  It's been a littel while since we did a ranker review game, couple episodes, so we jump back in with this weeks entry: Best Movies based on True Stories.  There are some amazing movies based on the true events that took place in life and we are here to see if this Ranker list holds up. But off the top of your head...what is the best true story turned into a movie? Is it Blackhawk Down...maybe? Tune in and find out....

On this episode of the QNow Mark Bland and Jason Kull are joined by Keegan Emmert an amazing local St Louis Street magician.  First up it's obvious the GOP is in disarray because Hunter Biden showed up at their Congressional meeting and decided to leave right before MTG spoke! This left everyone in the building speechless and even the CNN camera's left the event to follow Hunter and his team into the halls with their cameras. Taking the cameras away from the GOP really was the worst thing for them because they didn't get to pretend and put on a show for America. The gentleman discuss.  Next up we discuss Keegan and where he grew up and a little bit about his background in the game of magic. Keegan asked for the guys to bring a deck of cards so that they were sealed and they knew that he hadn't touched them. He proceeds to discuss his upbringing, a little about his wife and their early year as well as the ability to perform tricks on the fly and how people respond. Next up the guys are treated to getting to see Keegan in full form!  Finally Mark told Keegan before the show started that there was a special ending to it. Mark found a list of objects that may or may not be able to fit in a human butt. So the question really is "will it fit in a butt"? Download to find out! 

Dennis is joined by generational expert Mark C. Perna. Mark has spent 2023 speaking to 100's of education, community and economic development groups and organizations with 10,000's of people.

Finally Mark and Dennis discuss what gives them hope for the future. 

  Slam the Gavel welcomes back Terri and Mark Stemann to the podcast. They were last on the podcast Season 4, Episodes 47, 70 and 97. Their seven children were kidnapped from them in 2016 under the Color of Law and they have been holding their children hostage. Now they have been in this for 7.5 years.     However, they have discovered a CHILD TRAFFICKING ring operating within Jefferson County, Louisville, KY and they have thousands of pages of evidence to show the picture to prove it. They pursued an avenue for justice and remedy  through all state and federal law enforcement agencies and yet they have been denied and turned away.           Mark and Terri had been actively seeking an attorney all across the country who could help them in filing a suit and they were getting a lot reasons why they couldn't help them from  the immunity reasons which are unlawful; there is a federal law and constitution that prohibits immunity as it is a right as WE THE PEOPLE possess, and a variety of other reasons.      Finally Mark and Terri NOW  have broken through and have been able to connect with an attorney that will look into their case and have an opportunity to pursue a  FEDERAL ACTION that may potentially benefit not only themselves but will set presidency to bring RELIEF to other people. There are still a lot of obstacles they will face. BUT IT IS A SIGN OF HOPE.   They are still unable to connect with their three oldest children as they are unresponsive and the youngest three are still held hostage by the criminals that facilitated the scheme. Mark and Terri have good news as they have connected with their son. They are encouraged, as he still REMEMBERS his upbringing and their joyful and happy home. As reached the point of aging, he was able to escape the environment in which he and his sibling were being abused.    We discussed the psychological warfare that is taking place within CPS and Foster Care and  how children are brainwashed.

Mark and Jason are once again doing a huge multi-week bracket for teen movies and this episode is ground zero for the first section: Best High School Drama. These are all movies where High school is a setting and there is shenanigans going on all over the place. Did your movie make the cut? Is it in another section of the bracket...well don't fret we have three more weeks of movies before we get to the finale.  Finally Mark and Jason bid farwell to their new friend of the show and dig into some happenings around the country and some poltiics. First a man is choked out and killed on a NY subway and the gents break down whether the man should get manslaughter or murder for killing the homeless man. Also it seems that Desantis and Elon just keep doing horrible things to keep their name going, but the minute they stop,everyone will ignore them. All this and much more on this episode of The Qnow!

Would you have chosen this moment over the one that moved on? Find all this out when you lsiten to this weeks Tournament of Pop culture!  Also Mark recently had something go viral and he decides to bring up the value of that within the business of Radio and media. Many times Mark has gone to get jobs, they want to know the relevancy of his career. His impact and what he can do. Mark shows the team and discusses the amount of impact he has had and how that translates to success within the medium of radio and mainstream media.  Finally Mark and the guys decide to talk about the Russians and their ability ro down our drones and create havoc in a war they already are pushing on the world. Is putin ready for that kind of trouble and does the USA have vested interest in moving forward to fight against Putin potentially. They discuss all of this and more on this episode of the show! 

Legendary St. Louis media personality REAL ROCK TOM TERBROCK joins the show for an unforgettable tournament of pop culture.  Jason Kull and Mark Bland welcome Tom Terbrock to the QNow for some much needed discussion and a run through some of the greatest metal music of all time. Tom spent many days working at a other political radio stations with his cohort Dave Glover producing one of the best radio shows in St. Louis Broadcast history. And Tom is not a fan of discussing the politics anymore. Find out why it bothers him so much! Next up Tom brings up Prowrestling and the fact that Mark just had a match last month against Shaft for the commissionership. Mark has to explan to Tom how he was screwed over by the management of MMWA and cheated out of his rightful win! This brings up other wrestling and then eventually gets back to radio and learning how you know you are doing well or became popular in broadcasting. Tom tells a story Mark knows all too well and the two disucss their less than stellar past issues with hate in the industry. Finally Mark, Jay and Tom take a crack at the Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Metal Albums of all time. Yes Iron Maiden was in the tournament. Mark, a bit frightened byt the potential reaction, put together a lit of the best metal albums of all time.

Did the album you thougth would win, actually win...We find out on this episode of the show. 

Once upon a time, Donald Trump went to Puerto Rico to throw Paper Towels at the people because of a natural disaster. Cut to 2023 and he made another Trip as former President to East Palestine, Ohio to give them water and throw hats to them at Mcdonalds. This was to show he was the leader the country needed while Joe Biden was handling things as President around the world. Needless to say this was another photo op for the orange man and it did nothing to bolster his anti-liberal argument. Joe Biden has already offered the Fed's help in the situation on day 2 of it existing, but the Ohio Governor Dewine declined the help. So here we stand. Mark Bland, your host, along with Jason Kull and Matt Krueger break down and discuss the East Palestine train derailment along with turning their focus to Russia where it seems Putin is losing ground a year deep into the war with Ukraine. He has decided to pull out of the last Treaty regarding nuclear arms, which means he is going to try and use them at some point. Hence the potential for World War 3 to begin with China potentially backing Russia. And while this goes on, in the USA Marjorie Taylor Greene, a georgia Congresswoman has decided to ask the RED STATES of the US to secede creating the potential for another Civil War. Seems that republicans are War hungry!  Finally Mark puts Matt Krueger and Jason Kull to a test of wits! Jason found a 90's trivia game at the station and decided to see who would be the ultimate 1990's trivia champ. Matt was younger and had more influence in his childhood during that time, but Jason was older and in college, so his influences might give him a leg up.  We all find out who the real trivia champ of the 90's is on this episode of The QNow! 

Welp it seems Mark posted something to social media and it caught him some flack. But it's not that national kinda flack that typically is associated with a social media post...it's more localized and people calling offline to challenge what the post said.  On this Episode of The Q, Alex Elias joins Mark and Jason Kull to discuss Mark's recent post where he claimed in his prime athleticness, Mark said he was as good as any other professional athlete  and just as athletic. Now Mark didn't say he was a professional football player and could beat Micah Parsons in football today....BUT... back in his prime, with all things working properly, he was as athletically gifted as a Micah Parsons or other professional athletes. Alex vehemently disagrees with this and argues that Mark could never have been the same caliber as a All Pro Football player....But then Mark starts breaking down his size, his sport, what they wear versus a heavily padded football player....Does Mark change the mind of Alex, listen and find out!  Then Mark and the guys discuss the Brittney Griner prisoner swap where Donald Trump came out and said he could have done the prisoner swap for Paul whelan back in his presidency, but he decided not to do it. Just like the wall he didn't build and the Covid he didn't stop. The gentleman discuss the upcoming announcement of his Trump NFT cards, Viktor Bout (the other half of the prisoner swap) and explain how the negotiations between the biden Whitehouse and Putin went regarding the Prisoner Swap.  Finally Mark and Jay wants to really get to know Alex a lot better and starts to ask some difficult questions of Alex. This comes on the heels of a personal friend that is dying that Mark had a chance to talk with and it made him emotional and want to find out more about his personal friends. Alex, Jay and Mark discuss the questions as they pertain to their lives in 2022.  All this and much more on the new Q! 

Ahh we made it to the midway point of life. The 2022 midterms are here everyone and Mark Bland is joined by a bevy of gentlemen to discuss all the upcoming fun we will have this week!  First up Mark sits down and talks with Mike Eise and Jonathan May about the way the government and elections in the USA are setup. Eise believes this is all contrived and ptu together by the Media and the powers that be to keep the country separated on purpose. Mark and Jonathan seem to think that peope naturally gravitate the way they want and that creates the separation just like in the animal kingdom. Can we get these guy to agree? Next up, KSDK channel 5  in St. Louis (the NBC affiliate ksdk.com) lends their political coordinator to the Q for a interview. Mark Maxwell joins the show to discuss how this election will proceed forward after the 2020 election denying. Mark and the boys discuss the potential for republicans to use their congressional advantage to bring libs to their knees as well as what are the topics and ballot options people are talking about going into this Mid-term.  Finally Mark and Jonathan bid adieu to Mike Eise and continue to break down the ballot initivatives for Missouri in the 2022 election and this leads to some movie talk. Mark and Jonathan both saw the movie Barbarian and had differing opinions on the outcome of the movie and who the focus should be on. Be careful, they do discuss some "spoiler" styled stuff. And then Dr. Love is back in the house as the two discuss a guy and his unwilling dating partner!  All this and more on this episode of the Q! 

Drew Pinson and Jason Kull join Mark Bland on this episode where the gentlemen decide to remember the Queen of England who just died in the past week. After decades of reign, the most recognizable person in a Monarchy has passed to the other side. It's such a big deal that they released a press release that states Trump is not invited to the funeral at all. Crazy to think.... Also, Mark is becoming really beaten down about how every time something happens in the music or movie business, it immediately is brought down a notch or two by people being too woke. The latest craziness is people using AI to make the trailer for Disney's new Little Mermaid with a white girl instead of a black lead. Mark thinks this is way way over the top, but also questions why there is a need to constantly play with things on purpose to create division.  Mark and the guys talk about homophobia, racism and many other issues that pop up quite often even though in practice there really isn't much that "happens" regarding those topics. And Mark believes those topics are only a focus for a launching point. Everyone doesn't need to complain and whine about everything all the time. Not every Joke is an attack on a whole culture. Some things are just funny in thought and the moment. The world is insensitive and now people are being too sensitive to everything all the time. Now Trump threatening people and the libs are all for it...but it's sensitivity again!  The gentle touch on this topic multiple times in the show. Finally Mark has Drew and Jason faceoff in a game of Trivia to see who is the trivia master of the Q. Who won? Who knew more? Which person seemed to guess too much? All this and more will be answered in this weeks finale! 

MMWA has a Sept. 10th event coming up and they sent over their guy, the South Broadway Savior....JSO... to be our guest on this new episode. First up Mark wants to find out about the wrestler and his background. Hailing from STL, Mark and his co-host Jason Kull find out that there is a former Junior Blues Player who had a shot at a major university that historical in our great country and it ain't Harvard. This leads to convos about Pro-Wrestling and the business and JSO's eventual rise to popularity. It's not been a good week for Trump. It seems the documents he took were so secret even the FBI had to get clearance to view them for investigating. Which really just whittled the culprits down to Trump and Pence technically. And since the world knows Pence was attacked on Jan 6th, it doesn't seem to point to anyone other than Don. But Mark tries to put the way we look this and other things in perspective throughtout this show.  Finally Mark and the boys discuss AI and how it won a competition for digital art at the Colorado State Fair and how close we are getting to ourselves eradicating ourselves. And then it's time for the one and only JSO to jump on the hotseat and answer some random questions to make himself feel important and to help us learn of the AVATAR OF EXCELLENCE and who he is! 

Missouri State Senate candidate joins Mark Bland, Mike Eise and Jason Kull for a few minutes to discuss his senate campaign in a Red State like Missouri and what his plans are for the future of the state and country.  First up, the guys get to know a bit about Mr. Sinclair and his focus for the rest of the campaign. This includes the constituents in the district 2 area for the state of Missouri. Michael is focusing on Term Limits for judges and the SCOTUS, plus he wants to better our infrastructure and women's rights are heavily on his mind. This all gets Mr. Eise amped up to discuss the electoral college and how voting is used in the USA today. All this leads to a discussion about Uvalde and gun reform in the US, and specifically in the state of Missouri.  Then it's time for Michael to jump into the Hot SEAT and do what the others before him did...answer the questions! And he does, while also getting people amped up to change more laws and things in the USA, just off his answers alone. A candidate of merit! Finally Mark and the guys sit back to discuss some other things that affect adults. Parenting! Mark is at home with the kids while they are summer break and he is realzing that they come to him and say they are bored more than ever before. This ties back into some discussion the guys had with Sinclair earlier in the show and how the kids or ingesting entertainment now compared to the past...will something be worked out...find out on this episode of the Q!

Drew Pinson joins on this show with so much going on, it's hard to keep up.  First things first, Mark Bland and Drew Pinson tackle the 4th of July Shooting in Highland Park, IL and the subsequent Jayland Walker shooting over the 4th of July weekend. But it's tough for Mark to keep coming on the show discussing kids getting shot up for no reason, or another unarmed person being shot and killed. It's taking it's toll on everyone and these men discuss. Next Mark talks a little about the business of wrestling and how the people in the business today come from a different background  than others in the past, and with so many differing backgrounds, the needs of the wrestlers over the years have developed behind the scenes assistants and other people that help with their careers. This comes from a story about Buff Bagwell firing his social media person. This then turns to a discussion about outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson and how he needs to resign (and did after this show). Finally Mark and Drew decide to take on soame questions of love and this leads to Drew explaining his background in the world of bartending and working in places where KINK is a thing. Download and find out more! All on this episode of The Q. 

Drew Pinson and Mike Eise join Mark Bland fresh off his cruise through carribean!  When Mark left, the country was struggling but moving forward, when he came back, it was as if he landed in 1935 Germany. Authoritarianism swept through the Supreme Court and they decided to overturn Roe v. Wade. Which took rights away from millions of women in one instant and turned the clock back to a time that Donald Trump enjoyed.  Mark talks about his cruise, but then immediately jumps into abortion rights and the SCOTUS decision while he was gone. This leads to a convo about parents trying to indoctrinate other people's kids into their way of thinking. The only ones that do it consistently are weird christian and evangelical children.  Next up there was a special last minute hearing for the Jan 6th testimonies and committee. They brought in former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson to testify to a bevvy of issue including Trump throwing plates of food and condiments everywhere. How does this affect the committee...the guys discuss. Finally Mark takes some opinions on the Roe v. Wade decision and then brings up some questions for Drew and Mike to throw around and answer for themselves. Most importantly, What is america good at? What do they do well that others notice? Find out what the guests said on this edition of The Q! 

Dirty Jay Spurgeon is back in the studio again, along with Mark Bland and Drew Pinson.  First up, Mark talks to Dirty about ASMR and this new fad of white noising our lives for the sake of calming down. On top of this, it gets deeper to the tune of millions of people. This walks right into Mark and Dirty focusing on the fact that the millennials seemed to have changed the world...but is it for the better or worse.  This becomes a game of Gen X versus the Millennials on The Q. But it doesn't get that far because one of the people in the game is in total agreement with the other one...but which one is it.  Later on the guys focus on conservatives and what the word "conservative" is starting to morph into. People that used to be proud are now having to watch what they associate their beliefs with because that umbrella and stereotype is getting worse not better. Will people in 2040 even identify as Conservative or not...they discuss!

WE get the secret lowdown on something Battlehawks fans have been waiting to hear...another nugget of what is to come...tune in and find out what! 

Man it's been a week for Ted Cruz. He has made the dumbest comments regarding doors and the Uvalde shooting. He has thrown his hat in the ring to give daily quips about gun control...but nobody is telling Ted what he really needs to hear. Well that my friends is why the Q show is here!  First up Mark welcomes Drew Pinson and Jason Kull to show to discuss the newest developments going on with the Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary last week. It seems the police were less than prepared and then got a little worried about being shot by the killer. Things that we will definitely address on this episode.  Also, Mark has been thinking that this is the beginning of 2022 summer, and right after is the fall and the elections. Which will be the beginning of non stop stupid commericals and people trying to get everyone's attention for 2024 poresidential election...but who truly has a shot on the GOP side with all these bad shootings and things going on...well the men discuss and figure it out!  Finally Mark and the guys were talking off air what the greatest TV sitcom of all time is.

The Q prides itself on discussing the latest in the news, current affairs and pop culture. But some shows touch on other topics that make us revisit and discuss deeper the way we are as people. This is one of those episodes.  First up our special guests this week are Alfred Konuwa and Drew Pinson. Alfred is the Pro-wrestling writer for Forbes magazine, covering the business on their behalf. Also coming back for another round is Drew Pinson to add his take on what is going on in the world.  The Abortion issue is still rife in the USA with people attacking supreme court justices houses and making a mockery of most of us as Adults. And this is why the episode is named the way it is. Sometimes we need to discuss things deeper and wrestle with our own decision making process to come forward with the best options. It doesn't seem we are there yet and so for that we are Wrestling with Ourselves for the time being. Mark and Drew discuss this aspect of life and the controversy currently. Alfred Konuwa joins the show to discuss being a wrestling writer, but also to talk about the business. Mark and alfred touch on the internet dirt sheets and their value in 2022, who you should and probably shouldn't listen to to get your news, some new moves with WWE talent and much more. Plus Alfred hits the hotseat to answer a few questions since he is a first timer.  Finally Mark and Drew discuss a letter from a distraught woman that is dealing with heavy 21st century problems because the past is coming to bite her "date" on the butt. Find out what problem is going on that really is going to become an issue for everyone in the world at some point. 

The USA has an issue and that is the fact that Britney Griner is currently being held in a Russian Prison for getting caught with hash oil. She is also homosexual and that is a "no no" in Russia. And the Russians have invaded Ukraine and might be starting a World War again...so Britney is in a really bad spot.  On this episode we discuss all this and welcome our guy Jonathan May back to the show to sit and talk with us about what is going on in the world.  This all leads to a discussion about Gas prices and why they are so high currently. Mark Bland dispells a few myths regarding the reasoning and put other things into perspective. Was it Putin, Biden, Trump...who is at fault or is all of them at fault? Next up the gents get into some news stories and one in particular sets off quite the storm during the show. Mark brings up the Joros spiders and their new US home. Plus how they spread from place to place. It's called Nightmare fuel by the kids and Jonathan is not a fan at all!  Finally Mark and Jonathan talk about werewolves and then which 1980's Movie Sequels deserved more love than they got. To find out which ones they were and more...take a listen to this episode of the show! 

Mike Eise and Jason Kull join as Mark Bland and the Q return to the broadcasting airwaves of St. Louis on 1280AM KYRO.  Every single saturday from 1 to 3pm (cst) The Q will bring the best in Indie Political discussion and Pop Culture to the world as it has done for over a decade!  On this episode Russia has decided to invade the Ukraine and Mark discusses with Mike and Jason about this issue and how it should be viewed and what can be done to fix it.  Also Mark talks with long time political analyst and radio bretheren Scheper about the war and the way Ukrainians are looking at it versus the Russians that are invading. Plus a new character on the show starts coming through named....well listen and find out. Finally Mark and the boys decide to talk about some quetions that people are sure about but Mark and his guests make the final decisions...plus that pesky Truckers convoy failed and like the convoy, it goes without anything being said. All this and more on this weeks episode of the Q! 

On this episode of the Q, Jason Kull returns on the heels of Joe Bidens first year in office to discuss the leader and his accomplishments.  But that's not all that is happening. It seems Trump and his family are in hot water with the Southern district of NY and the Supreme court is unsealing all documents regarding Trump and January 6th 2021. This will not bode well for the former President who lost the re-election campaign in 2020 to Biden.  Also, it seems Joe Rogan (aka POGAN) is back in the news after he tried to pretend he knew more than a doctor about the doctors own job. The viral clip went live and ever since, Pogan has been the vicitm of people opinionating and discussing his collossal miscue on his show. This leads to discussing the value of Rogan and his fanbase in the upcoming elections.  Finally Mark and Jason discuss the fact that 5G is now the new hot thing and we are seeing a repeat of 2010 and 3g hampering the airline industry. Is it a real worry or not. The boys discuss on this new episode of The Q! 

The Q is known for tapping into the Urban Dictionary aspect of the world and bringing you guys the newest and fresh lingo that is being used worldwide.  We brought you "Soaking" on the "Soakening" episode of the show (ep. 483). So we brought back our friend and former co-host with Mark, BJ Lange and his friend Sara Patterson, to discuss a new thing happening in the world of Jeeps and off roading called OVERLANDING. Techincally its exploring remote locations via travel in an offroad vehicle. So this becomes a heavy topic on this episode of the Q.  As we stated Bj brought a friend named Sara that would eventually have to sit on the HotSeat and answer some questions, but before that...we get into the acting background of both Sar and BJ based on their living in California and dealing with being working entertainers in Hollywood during Covid.  This leads to the two explaining the darker side of Hollywood and the things that you naturally have to deal with because of the way the business is still structured.  Finally Mark and his guests discuss the recent twitter decision to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her Twitter access and block her account from being used.  This also leads to a discussion about Greg Abbot (Gov of Texas) asking the federal government for Covid help after 2 years of being Covid deniers and being against everything the Government said or did. 

Mark Langdon and Jack Reeve return for the latest instalment of Bets Club.  West Ham provided the biggest talking point of the week, knocking out well-fancied Manchester City in the Carabao Cup while Liverpool continue to march on.  Manchester United and Tottenham both have issues as they head into the big game of the weekend in the Premier League. Could it be the end of Ole or Nuno's job?  Finally Mark provides his best bets of the week after last week's successful NAP in Spain and James Milton gives his EFL selections. 

Founder, CEO & CIO of Morgan Creek Capital Management Mark Yusko tells us whether we should be concerned about the China bitcoin crackdown. We talk Evergrande and the increased hostility towards bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the USA. Mark foresees a period of continued regulatory aggression, however explains this will not last.

You don't want to miss this wide ranging conversation with perhaps one of today's foremost experts on healthcare systems.  Health actuary and retired Milliman Principal, Mark Litow spoke with Joyce and Gayle about how healthcare systems work, the main disconnects in the US system, and how reform efforts have led to the numerous problems we face today, including  poor doctor-patient relationships, unaffordability, generational inequity, workforce challenges, and long term unsustainability.  Mark leads the Concerned Actuaries Group or CAG (www.concernedactuaries.org) and he went into detail about how CAG has modeled the US healthcare system.  The model focuses on six signals that together form a comprehensive view of the system: cost, coverage, access, health status, economic impacts, and long term sustainability.  The six signals are modeled across all markets, such as Medicare, large employer group, uninsured, and individual. The idea is to model each mutually exclusive population group based on the type of medical coverage they have, as incentives and behaviors will vary by these groups.  The model projects the results of a reform into the future and compares it to a continuation of today's healthcare system.  As a powerful testament of the model's predictive ability, Mark explained that it predicted that individual insurance premiums would increase 60% after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.  Individual market premiums actually increased between 55 and 60%.  The CBO's model, in contrast, predicted an increase of 10-13%.  Our conversation touched on the proper role for insurance and the effects when subsidies are too low or too high; Mark mentioned work he did in South Africa, modeling the health care system and developing a new insurance plan that was successful until the political winds changed.  Finally Mark talked about the actuarial profession and how it has changed over his career.  He takes very seriously the obligation of actuaries to speak out if a social insurance program is poorly designed or will have significant negative unintended consequences.  He noted that regulatory filings were a small part of what Milliman actuaries did when he first worked there, but by the end of his career, filings comprised about 2/3 of the work. The political pressure on actuaries to soften or remove assumptions that lead to unfavorable projections about pending legislation and regulations has increased as well.  It is important for actuaries to hold true to our actuarial principles and our responsibility to the public.We extend a big thanks to Mark for sharing a bit of his knowledge with us today.

Another week and another new Q show. This week Gary Weed drops in and discusses the new things going on in his world and ours.  First up....Mark doesn't want to discuss the next shooting for another week in the country. There seems to be a new one each time and everyone has their wishes and wants for how they are viewed. Mark explains his reasoning for not wanting to discuss the newer shooting stating that nobody is willing to play the rules down the middle like himself. Calling things for what they are. Honesty as people.  Next Mark and Gary discuss tipping in our culture and the value of it as we move into realms where the the business of tipping and ordering has switched up because of Covid. How do you tip people for food orders? What about other types of tips? Finally Mark and Gary discuss the power of the USA in it's current form. What they can pull off and what they can't. How the other countries should view us...There is a lot of posturing in the world of politics and power, but the target is firmly on the back of the USA! Where should we go with our background and power? Find out what the guys say....plus more questions for us to discuss.  So much to be entertained by! 

On this newest episode of the Q, things get switched up a little! Our guest is none other than Jason "DIRTY" Spurgeon, BattleHawks point man and Wrestling lover. But Dirty comes with his own plan in mind. Jason decides he wants to interview host Mark Bland about himself, on his own show. Never being one to turn down someone's hopes, Mark obliges and the show gets off to a fast placed start! This leads to a discussion about the infamous Q Anon. Dirty has been watching some documentaries about weird bad people and this leads to a discussion of if the Q Anon people are as bad and scary as some serial killers like John Wayne Gacy? Should we be watching them closely so they don't also go down these more horrific paths after January 6th? This and much more in our discussion about the crazies of the USA!  Finally Mark and Dirty get into a discussion about Tucker Carlson and if he is a good person. This leads to a discussion about "wokeness" in 2021. Have we gone too far too fast with wokeness...is it a bad thing to constantly be attacking everything we disagree with? Also is wokeness being weaponized for the wrong reasons because people are eager to correct the worlds bad habits? Is the pendulum swinging too far back against other cultures in the hopes of pointing out things to be unhappy about? All this and much more on this interesting episode of the Q! 

FINALLY Mark, Matt and Bill wrap up their MCU retrospective with the tail end of Phase 3 as well as a discussion about Wandavision.

In the closing verses of Mark’s Gospel, there are some themes that recapitulate not only the beginning of the Gospel but also much other material we encountered along the way. These words contain truth and are therefore profitable for us.

This week on Unorthodox, we're shaking that lulav and etrog for Sukkot. To help us understand the various Jewish holidays that arrive in quick succession after the High Holidays—Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Shemini Atzeret—we talk to Roberta Kwall, author of Remix Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World.

Then we're joined by Peter Sagal, host of NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me. He tells what he's learned from hosting the very entertaining news quiz show for more than 20 years, and why it's important to find humor even when the headlines are bad. Finally Mark chats with David French, senior editor at the Dispatch and author of Divided We Fall: America's Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation.
